From what I have heard he (Ken Ross) had no idea of what he was doing. He made a lot of assumptions which usually lead to the mother of all **** ups.
He assumed that all the big acts would just turn up without actually being asked. He assumed that he could do what ever he needed to do without consulting the affected parties. After all he was running the largest Wings and Wheels show ever to be seen in New Zealand, how could anyone not want to be involved.
