Ted’s original videos of shooting the first generation Matador are what really got me interested in AG’s. I then became very anti-Ted when he, in my opinion, became nothing more than a puppet and mouthpiece for FX and AOA. I haven’t kept up with him lately, so I don’t know what he has been up to.

However, they should man up (proabably hard for Wendt) and admit that they are going to promote their customers and fuck everyone else.
