Ultimate EPE Fixed Contests

Williamson County Fair stated that their member Dave Crouch was in the choir with Ray Walker and that Ray Walker told Dave Crouch of the county fair to have the contest.

Then there was a meeting with Ray Walker, Dave Crouch and Diane Giddens to put the plans in place to have a contest. Sounds bad here...then Ray Walker told them how and who to hire for the contest. The contest only offered a $200.00 prize. And a free hotel room in Memphis during Elvis Week.

Which Klush used while he was being filmed for the "Elvis in Concert" concert while in Memphis during Elvis week.

There was also another meeting prior when EPE hired Klush to do the video for the Memphis "Elvis Presley in Concert"concert. The filming of Klush for this concert was held prior to his win, contest date at the Williamson County fair.

Which changes all demos for the Finals of the Ultimate Contest. If that contest was not held then there would have been other contenders.

What was the last contest before the Williamson county fair? Which was Collingwood and the winner was Jay Zanier.

So. could Jay Zanier beat Trent Carlini? Or was Trent Carlini a true top contender? Meaning it was also stated that the Texas contest was fixed for Trent Carlini to Win.

So...What do we have here?
A property which is EPE who had at all times held fraudulent contests to put there winners in place to have a good showing and ticket enhancer in Memphis during Elvis Week. They placed the top contenders in the Elvis Impersonator field to get tickets sold and media attention.

Well...Now for the Reality of it all...

There is no real so called Winner here.

Why? Because it is so crooked and fixed that a truly decent person who pays tribute to the man Elvis Presley is knocked out before he enters the race.

But as they say... it always come back to bite you when your crooked. There is just to many people involved to keep it all quiet. And people love to talk.

So all ETA's, Elvii, Elvis Wannabees, whatever you want called keep paying tribute to the man Elvis Presley as you do. He would be proud of you and your efforts and leave the EPE contests for the rats.

Walt Sanders Would have won the Viva Las Franklin Contest that was fixed

I just got info that Walt Sanders was a contestant in the Williamson County fair Viva Las Franklin Ultimate EPE Contest. If Shawn Klush had not cheated Walt Sanders would have been the Winner and moved onto Memphis, TN. He was the next contender.



Would he have beat Trent Carlini. Probably so...




Who else was a contestant?


So the real Ultimate Winner would have been Walt Sanders
