I can't help but remember the TV show, "Fantasy Island" in the 70's. Where a well dressed millionaire Mr. Roarke, played by Ricardo Montalban, (who reminds me of Mr. Trudeau) lived on a Fantasy Island with his little helper Tattoo, (played by Herve Villechaize), who resembles Deno Andrews. They bring guests to this luxurious place, (which reminds me of the IPT tournament locations) and make their fantasys come true, or at least seems to. But, did it really happen or was it a dream...
In the latest interview with Billiards Digest, Mr. Trudeau has shown his distaste for the members, which does not surprise me. Apparently, this is what he really thinks. It must be grandiose to sit on his throne.
His very candid message rings loud and clear. It is obvious that Mr. Trudeau has no understanding of the life of a pool player, or the life of a non millionaire, let alone what it means to be on a fixed income. His statements were rude, callous, condescending and noncommittal to the longevity of the IPT.
In the latest of snafus from the IPT, and futile attempt to promote and secure more income from the players, we have their latest "Press Release". Apparently, the latest discharge of personal at the IPT Office has proved detrimental to the fundamentals of the IPT.
What is a Press Release? It is a means of notifying the press of an event or news story that will happen in the future. It is essentially an event reminder that is in a format that makes it easy for journalists to record the event in their calendars or day planners.
By no means is the announcement of a "Membership Club" of great importance for a Press Release. They seem to use it as a staple for all their correspondence. Everything is a "Press Release" in their book. Hey Tattoo, let's try a press release that says "The players have been paid in full". Sadly, the importance of their press releases have now lost all creditability.
It was admirable of John Schmidt to thank Mr. Trudeau for what he has done, but keep in mind that Mr. Trudeau didn't form The IPT for the love of the game. He did it for himself. He is an opportunist, and always has been. There was an "opportunity" here for him and he jumped. Would Mr. Trudeau have ventured into this if he didn't think there was money to be made? You can answer that one yourself. The problem is, his inexperience, the poor judgment he showed choosing the personnel to represent him and the game, and the complete waste of finances to bring it to where it is now.
Do you really think Mr. Stanley Ho is buying a business that is in the red? Why wouldn't he just start his own? The IPT has little at this point, and considering they will have lost their players if there are no funds, then why should any person in their right mind, buy this? Common folks, I know you are smarter than that! The KING of Sting, Kevin Trudeau, also known as Mr. Roarke is doing a line dance on each and everyone of you.
It is now in the hands of the public and pool community to advise all players connected with this tour and other unsuspecting people with their hard earned cash in hand, NOT to buy into the IPT until the players have been paid. If that even happens......
Make a copy of the BD interview, bring it to your local pool hall, show the people what Mr. Trudeau really thinks. It's up to you, not to let this spiral out of control as many of Mr. Trudeau's other businesses have.
