There is a level called “the grass”—a fake lawn that gets greener as a DJ—whose index finger is bruised from pushing play four nights a week—drops the bass yet again on a flock of sweaty, glazed and dazed sheep.
From this exalted perch, rich cons wash their funds and rub elbows with athletes, celebrities and select civilians from the piss pond below. It’s a magical place where a bottle server with implants on their third lift pretends to love you. Welcome to paradise found, also known as WET REPUBLIC.
But first, let me introduce myself. My name is Zorro, the masked fighter with his sword deep in the heart of Nik Richie. I am a man among men who believe in accountability and authenticity. Yes, ladies, I am single … don’t think about me being inside of you, though—unfortunately, you lack honesty and symmetry, so it will never work.
Regardless, my opponent today is an organization who operates like they own debauchery. Imagine this monster, also known as the National Hockey League or NHL, spreads messaging to their athletes that they are above the law. Where rape is ok as long as you win hockey games or she is unconscious.
The victorious moment described here within was made possible by the Los Angeles Kings after they won the Stanley Cup. In the white bread image above, taken Friday, June 15, the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup Champions visited the VIP bungalows (“the grass”) at WET REPUBLIC Ultra Pool at MGM Grand Hotel & Casino.
Now, this is where it gets sexy; for some reason, hockey players love cocaine. It’s very “White Chicks” if you ask me. However, what is more remarkable than using the Lord Stanley Cup as a BLOW bowl? Yeah, I’m sure NHL fans will find this spectacular, but the story isn’t that this is highly illegal. It’s what happened in real-time with the Aspen Kings.
Before I get to the good stuff, #FACTZ reached out to a member of the Nevada Gaming Commission to see the exact ramifications for Angel Management Group, operators of WET REPUBLIC, prior to acquisition in 2014 by Hakkasan Group, which was acquired by Tao Group in 2021.
“We take this very, very seriously. Regarding illegal substances like cocaine on premises—it is a direct violation of gaming and liquor regulations—subject to license suspension and/or revocation,” the source tells FACTZ.
Back to the “Princess Bride,” as these gents were asking for Labatt Blue on ice, they were skiing from the Lord, which would be fantastic if you were a Nelk Boy in modern times. But unfortunately, TMZ got wind of the situation and practiced its core values of “Catch and Kill.”
WET REPUBLIC’s security turned a blind eye to the situation because they are star fuckers and TMZ immediately called The Dirty’s Nik Richie, because it was 2012, when blogging was cool.
The reporter(s) from TMZ requested Nik MF Richie introduce them to Alex Cordova—the end-all-be-all executive at Angel Cake Management Group at the time. On this three-way call, a “TRADE” was completed—in real-time, Cordova confirmed the Los Angeles Kings were the symbol of a NOT drug-free NHL. A deal was made, AND the story was killed! Cordova (as usual) was the king for saving WET REPUBLIC (again), the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings, and the bigger picture—keeping MGM and its shareholders beautiful.
Some say Alex Cordova created the culture in Las Vegas, saving the grift to make money for the elders. And there are many others he laid on the butter knife for during his run in Las Vegas. But don’t worry, FACTZ family, those stories are in process. I hope he reads this in his guest house at the shire and only hates me at 10 percent. More to come.
