I want to kick off by saying I love what RULE is doing on LB right now and he's putting in a lot of good work. But if I'm going to callout 2FUEL for creating a multi account and lying about it, it would be hypocritical for me to avoid calling out RULE for not only doing the same thing, but for trying to self-battle. For anyone wondering, self-battling has always been against the rules on LB. Add to this that it's currently a tournament month and RULE would be using the win over himself to qualify, there's a lot of issues with this.
As for the self battling, to frame things I never even asked RULE if he wanted to battle REBORN on the LBT. After I tried to bring him in to battle GOOD GRIEF after Rican pulled out, he later suggested that he is already battling REBORN (now CAIN) and that I could put it on the card. He was fully intending on battling himself of his own accord.
(Dunno why the screenshot is so small btw)
I would reach out to REBORN to see if he was cool with this. As you can see below, RULE was fully committing to the "I'm a new guy and don't understand" gimmick.
And finally, as 2FUEL had told me the battle wouldn't go ahead and I questioned IAmFlow about the account, I presume that Flow brought it to RULE who decided to back out of the battle in light of everything being revealed.
Not only is battling under a multi account, knowing that it takes away any potential personal lines, a complete bitch move...but self battling is just straight up against the rules for a multitude of reasons.
As I said, I'm a fan of what RULE's doing and I'm cool with him. But if I'm going to callout Gutz or FUEL for doing what they've done, how can I omit this as well?
