I was GENUINELY moved last night....

[QUISQUEYA]

To see Lamps, Merch and Steward get so emotional about a colleague and friend. It wasn't as if Artie had passed that day. They must have truly loved him.


Artie was respected by the fighters, the on-air talent, the executives, the promoters, etc.

Everyone seemed so hurt by his passing. It saddened me.

Yeah i seen that. Not to bash the guy when he's dead but a friend of mine that lives near him told me he was very arrogant and rude. Even though he lived in my neighborhood (Greenpoint Brooklyn) I've never met him. I'm just going by what a friend of mine told me about him. RIP Artie

That's interesting to hear, and clearly contrasts from what his professional associations are saying.
