Big Hitters and Bigger Bullshitters

Is it arrogance, or is Bret just trying not to show his double chin?

In the latest chapter of the Bret Gordon / Steven Hatfield American Jidokwan fraud debacle, Bret and Steven were excited to announce new connections to some folks from the old “Ohio Ji Do Kwan Karate Association” who, they claimed, could verify at least part of their story regarding lifelong criminal and ex-con William Sirbaugh’s supposed connection to the legacies of Robert Moore, Curtis Herrington, and E. A. Fuzy: Ohio Ji Do Kwan Association founder Curtis Herrington protégé Jim Endrizzi and Herrington’s daughter, Carrie.

Some big hitters indeed!

This would be quite a coup if it all worked out.

But it didn’t.

Oh well. Once people became aware of this “new information,” it was scrutinized, and like most of what Bret and Steven do, it failed to hold up to said scrutiny. Endrizzi and Herrington backed off and recanted parts of their stories with promises of official statements yet to come to explain things.

Bret and Steven aren’t exactly happy about it. In a now-deleted thread on Jim Endrizzi’s Facebook page (because that’s what they do…they delete things that make them look bad whenever they can), Hatfield said:

Say My Name…

Well, Bret is at it again.

So, Bret wrote a blog regarding supposed “familial disputes” in the sphere of all things “American Jidokwan.” If I was to succinctly summarize its content, I would describe it as a long-winded “fuck you” to GM E.A. Fuzy’s widow and black belts and the current board of the organization he left behind who are upset about Gordon’s and Hatfield’s attempts to appropriate (in whole or part) Fuzy’s legacy.

The fabrication and wordsmithing is almost impressive, but there are a couple of things about his latest that stand out to me.
