WOW! That was the best post I ever read on this board!!! Usually your long posts are just boring but not that one.
But anyway..years ago I used to wrestle in the INDY's earning $50-$200 a match, which was nothing since I paid $5,000 for the wrestling school alone. I even had to pay for my own wrestling gear. The problem was...a doctor once told me that I have knees like a 90 year old man. Since I didn't want to risk serious injury..I gave it up. Everyday now I wear a brass-pad on each knee under my jeans.
Now back then my name was, Killer Ken Kyles...My only big match was 5 years ago in the IWA. I was 220 lbs standing at 6'1". Since the IWA back then was an unpromoted INDY...we weren't given a "script" for the match. When the match began...I wasn't even sure what was going to happen. All I remember was getting stiff shots from Bundy...and I totally jobbed the entire match. Bundy was absolutely the hardest person I ever had to word with. When he slammed me on the frozen, hard ring...I couldn't get my foot out to take the impact which killed my back. The match ended 3 minutes later when Bundy splashed me from the second rope. I earned around $100 for that match and it wasn't nearly worth it. I would say that Bundy took home more on the lines of $500 since he was a "superstar".
I never had a desire to wrestle...but I love the sport. My #1 goal is to start my own promotion,, that's why I invested into FAMH..I need enough money to promote my first match..or even get a license.
My first main event will be...
Wayne teaming up with Dexx...managed by Jane.
vs.
Brad teaming up with Little Engine...managed by Cheryl.
See ya later,
Killer Ken Kyles

It's a great mystery. I am sticking with the "daddy made the posts and trades theory."

Rationale:

(1) The kid was too young when Jonathan Lebed joined SI. The kid would have been in either sixth or seventh grade at the time.

(2) In one post, "Jonathan Lebed" says that he used his son to hype a stock on television. If he is willing to use his son to hype one stock, he is probably willing to use him to cover up a crime.

(3) It is a perfect cover for dad --- the kid will have his record expunged when he comes of age, so he comes out of it with a clean background. If dad had got dinged, on the other hand, it would have stayed on his record forever.
