Another dud from Charlie Sheen in Cleveland tonight

Cleveland

After a disaster in Detroit and a Chicago show shake-up, Charlie Sheen was in Cleveland on Tuesday night trying to win over a new audience.

First impression?

“It’s a disaster,” reported Ryan Martino, a 29-year-old Youngstown resident who was in the crowd for the 45-year-old actor’s “Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat Is Not an Option” tour stop at the 3,200-seat State Theatre.

“It’s basically a free-for-all,” Martino texted from the show that started at 8:20 p.m. and ended promptly at 10. “People are shouting random things constantly, which are probably more funny than he is.”

Sheen came onstage to the song “Wild Thing,” conjuring the role he made famous as the troubled Cleveland Indians pitcher in the 1989 film “Major League.”

“He came out in the No. 99 Ricky Vaughn jersey and glasses,” Martino reported. The crowd directed f-bombs at Detroit — where Sheen really bombed by all accounts.

“Then Charlie compared his marriages to Cleveland and LeBron,” Martino texted. The mention of the ex-Cavaliers star LeBron James again drew the crowd’s curses.

Among Martino’s observations:

“He’s wearing an elbow brace on his right arm saying he got injured filming ‘Major League 3.’”

“He said he went to Hot Sauce Williams Barbecue to eat while in Cleveland.”

“The goddesses just came out for a 10-second introduction and left. It’s a free-for-all.”

“No stars or guest appearances.”

Did he feel ripped off, like some fans in Detroit?

“Well, I took the chance and bought the ticket,” Martino texted from the show, admitting he felt let down.

“Really, no one knew what it was about or what would happen. Couldn’t afford to miss it. It’s ‘the event’ to attend. All over the media. It is what it is, though.”

you're probably about the only one who calls it a 'dud' - can always count on negative press from the youngstown area! way to go

CassAnn, last night TMZ was reporting on the Chicago show. Will have to wait and see how the Cleveland show rates.

I would remind all that TMZ and Sheen are
both from the "land of fruits and nuts" so do not base any final opinions on what you hear on TMZ.
