So hype up a Jordan-Russell matchup, never say with 100 percent certainty Jordan isn’t going to show, pretend Jordan was in a restaurant yesterday — they even made a terribly fake YouTube video of him eating! — sell out the place with standing room only, and then … have the crowd furious at you when you totally punk them.

Wow, this place went from electric to catatonic faster than an MJ free throw line jumper in the Delta Center. PS, the lookalike was wearing six inch lifts!

This was ridiculous. I'm a professional sports photographer based here in Utah: --- http://www.kevinwinzeler.com --- and have been in discussions with the Flash for over a year to work on some of their advertising and marketing campaigns. I know and have personally met with several of the marketing folks. SO, upon hearing the rumors, I called in to talk to these same people about getting media credentials to cover the event. I spoke with a couple of people and one sales rep (whom I didn't know) but who literally told me on the call that the Flash had just talked with ESPN analysts who were flying in from NYC to cover this. The marketing director also led me to believe that this was all taking place. They were then trying to sell me what "few tickets were left" for lots of money. These are people I knew and trusted to tell me the truth having established a business relationship with and I was flat out LIED to. It is pretty pathetic and a long-term disaster for the Flash!!
