Bash on the Boardwalk Feedback; Whoo.

Seems like last week was an anomaly of sorts.

First of all, my deepest congratulations to those who won their matches, though I feel most of them had clear winners. Thank you for everyone who contributed to making Bash on the Boardwalk, my first PPV since taking over, feel like an event.

However...

It's not hard to see we had a really crummy turnout for this show. Last week's feedback thread was an ill enough omen to start, Twitter participation was down severely over the first few shows of my tenure, and RPs on the boards were single-effort among MOST of the handlers, if an effort was put out at all. I've been contacted by most of the people who no-showed in some way, and while some of them have incredibly good reasons for not being able to make the deadline, others don't. Furthermore, the amount of RPs that went up within 48 hours of the deadline was... really disappointing. Especially for a PPV event.

I get it. Real life comes first, and this is just a hobby. I'm not sitting here trying to tell you you NEED to be here every week, RPing your ass off. But it is hard to rationalize having myself or Nir or any other writer put in the full, multi-page match effort for people who aren't putting in that same effort in the first place. Despite this, Lita has written two fantastic title matches and I thank her deeply for that. She went above and beyond as usual. And there are some of you who really did put in a PPV-quality effort! I appreciate that. I appreciate anyone who put out anything, really. I do. And I stress that because a lot of the shit I'm about to say isn't going to sound like I do. I do.

I may have mentioned this publicly before; it wasn't something meant to be a secret. Those of you who were around during the mess that was the election know; I waffled back and forth a lot on whether to finally run to take over FIW in the first place. I hit a sort of stumbling block where I questioned whether or not I should really be running a fed, whether FIW was the fed I should run, and whether I was really wanted here in the first place. Ultimately I decided to give it a shot; if it was mean to be it was meant to be; if not, oh well. Obviously people wanted me to do my best, because I was the one elected to lead in a very divided community. That was very uplifting and continues to be to this day. Thank you.

However, as was one of my concerns, there's a lot of demand both internally and externally between keeping up FIW's legacy and creating a fair environment where myself and others can have a lot of fun. In theory, it's not hard; I've taken a lot of steps to both preserve and recreate a legacy that I was instrumental in tearing down and rebuilding for the ReVolt era that started some decade ago. In practice, it's been a different beast. FIW has been the worst of both worlds between taking over an old fed and starting up a new one. We have a very dynamic roster that's seen us mill through nine handlers so far, not counting the handful that left at the conclusion of the last PPV. So many matches have been plagued by no-shows, INCLUDING several title matches, and that's disappointing not only for me and the rest of management, but for the people involved and the titles themselves. It doesn't feel very cool to know the only reason you're hanging onto a title is because people don't give a shit. That doesn't make YOU feel very important, and it doesn't make the BELTS look very important.

Ironically with the revolving door, we also experienced a roster bloat that was making it hard to book people. Those who are happy to be here seem REALLY happy to be here, but when the roster is artificially inflated by multiple characters in the same division handled by the same person, it causes booking problems. We eliminated that problem by instituting a cap, but in the time since a new problem has arisen. Well, an old problem that I'm frankly tired of seeing crop up all the time because of how much it hurts people.

Spoilers for the show, though I echo Dai's sentiments of "it's kind of dumb to read the feedback before the show if you don't want spoilers".

Late in the cycle I realized Lita had been booked in both of our top title matches and because of her incredible skill there was a very real chance she may win both matches. It didn't shake out that way, but what if it had? I've had a distressing amount of complaints in the past about favoritism when it comes to who people perceive to be my inner circle, Lita chief among them. It's partially happenstance that one of my oldest, dearest friends is also an amazing, capable, dedicated RPer, and partially because the both of us are when we're passionate about what we do, because we've both been sharpened by some EQUALLY skilled and dedicated RPers over the last fifteen years, one another included. That's harder to see because I don't tend to RP characters in a fed I'm running anymore; I don't book them well, subconsciously, and even when I think I do, I don't. Rebel, for example, hasn't won a single match since I took over, completely by accident. Nor has she had any opportunities a GM who liked me work might afford me that I wouldn't give myself personally. Lita, however, is not me. She's a separate person from me who I don't really feel as though I have a bias toward or against. No more than anyone else on the roster, anyhow. There's not anyone among you I dislike. I, in fact, like all of you that I've had the chance to chat with. Which I believe is all of you.

I'm already having a hard time being excited for FIW. It's not my baby, it's not my staff, my designs, my names (for the most part) or my titles... except ironically the Hellcat title. I don't like WWE's overall flavor, and while we are a bit different FIW is a mainstream-style fed akin to the WWE. I'm not roleplaying here save for when Dai needs a tag partner, and I'm generally not inspired. That's nobody's fault but my own, and I recognize that, but I also recognize that would only be made worse by casting doubt on my fariness as a GM. And I can already hear many of your hands striking keyboards and tapping digital keypads as you tell me you have faith in me as a GM, but others haven't been around long enough to know that. Further, it looks suspicious to the wider e-fed world if the same handler is holding both main event titles at once. We no longer live in our own little world, even so much as we did a month and a half ago when Craig was in charge. FIW's Twitter presence has ballooned, and if the internet loves anything it's gossip and drama. I don't want to bring that fire down on myself, or FIW as a whole.

At the same time, let's say Lita DID win those titles by the merit of her RPs. Is it fair to tell her "no, you can't have one of the belts because it looks bad, even though you earned it"? No. It's not. A clever person might point out that I never should've booked Brittany in the Hellcat division while Johnny was still champ, but I say that's just as unfair as throwing the match if she's creating the output to challenge for the title. The problem is that we have two main event divisions in the first place.

It's no secret I've been against the segregation of genders when it comes to the title picture, but when I took over I sort of pushed all that to the side. If FIW wants a Hellcat division for whatever reason they want one... fine. I'll play ball. Only now it's causing problems beyond the low-key PR trouble of "why can't girls play with guys in a fictional fed in 2017?" Even if Lita weren't part of the equation as my friend. If we were talking about Starr and Izzy Van Doren in these spots, there would be the same questions from people who don't have these titles. Many of you would simply be happy for him. Many others would question how this was allowed to happen, spread rumors, and cause dissension.

I'm not in this game for drama. I am so fucking over drama. It's why despite using RPs to determine match results, our rules state that the point of this game is to push storylines and have fun, not measure one another's e-peens to see which is biggest every week. Not everyone subscribes to that theory, and some people just like causing drama either because they feel they must Root Out The Evil And Put The Wrong Things Right, or because they like to watch people squirm.

To me, the logical conclusion here is to get rid of the Hellcat title. Fold it into the Triple Crown, or just drop it entirely to be picked up by some other GM who wants to play Game of Thrones : E-Fed edition a hell of a lot more than I do. But in doing so, that brings us even further from this FIW legacy I'm trying to uphold. If I'm not trying to keep FIW resembling its former self... then why am I running it? I've had dreams of a lucha libre fed since Triplemania when I realized THAT is the kind of wrestling I love to see, why am I not running that instead of FIW if I'm just going to tear so much of what has made FIW the place that it is to shreds? And what gives me the right? This fictional institution was built by every GM before me, every top champion and every major contributor... what right do I have to start tearing it down, even if it's what makes the most sense and is the most fair thing to do?

Secondly, if we don't have a Hellcat title... the roster would integrate. Meaning handlers who have a singles male and female wrestler like Bleak or Starr would be forced to drop one of them, or make them a tag-team exclusive wrestler or a non-manager. That's kind of shitty to have to deal with, even if I gave everyone a PPV cycle to tie up stories. It's not something that makes me as a GM, as a person feel very good about doing.

Thirdly... if we don't have a Hellcat title, do the tag titles ascend from their midcard status to occupy that "second main event title" spot? Sure, there's no problem if Kira Izumi held the FIW Title and Concieved Sorrow held the tag straps now, but if the tag straps got elevated as "the only other division in FIW" as a result of removing the Hellcat title, would we not arrive at this same location again, having to make this same bullshit hard decision?

I don't know what to do, FIW. I want to keep running an e-fed. Helping other people solve their minor problems and tell stories really gives me a sense of satisfaction that makes other crap in my daily life easier to deal with. The FIW Chat on Twitter has been a FANTASTIC place to meet people, exchange ideas, talk about life, and otherwise socially interact with folks in a way I haven't had since the mid-2000s. I want to do right by you, and I want to do right by FIW's history, but I don't want the headaches that might come with some of that. I am too old for that shit.

The card will be up... soonish. I need to figure a few things out and then record the VO once that's done. Expect it up before noon EST tomorrow, at the latest. I would be surprised if it took that long.

Please leave feedback for the writers and roleplayers; they worked hard to bring you this show and they want to know what you liked and what they can do better in the future. If you have an issue with the result of your match, specifically please PM me personally and we'll discuss it. Remember; if you and the management are doing their jobs, you should win about 50% of the time. However 50/50 booking is one way to book a wrestling show, but it's not very good when it's the only way. We're all doing our best to tell stories, here. Putting over your opponent and telling a good story are more important than arbitrary points in a win/loss column.

Matches: Lita, myself, Nir.
Promos: Joe, Wighty, Mr. Otaku, Nir, Bleak, Lita, Dai, Cory. Sorry if I'm forgetting someone.

Okay, so as truncated as my IC and OOC posts often are, I want to give as detailed of feedback about the show writ large as I can. I thought the matches were good, there really hasn't been a badly written match in FIW in years that I can remember, even the ones that very sadly had a no show involved were well written.

There's a few things I wanna unpack.

As happy as I am that Erik's still Rising champ, mostly because I feel like winning a title here means more of an accomplishment than a lot of places I've played, and the win means I get to do more to elevate the title and get more new guys over..

I'm pretty unhappy that the first two times Erik defended the belt they were due to no shows. It feels as if I am being gifted a long title reign even though Wight's not trying to do that at all and it unduly, in my mind anyway, makes him (and by extension Craig who put the belt on me to begin with) look bad. It sucks because I, in my mind anyway, work hard to get the new guys over and try to help them, and you guys are all aware of how hard I have worked to get Erik over since we started using Twitter but I like to be met 50/50 on this stuff which most of the roster already does, but some of the new guys here have frankly failed to do.

I did get a message from Fargo indicating real life issues had prevented him from being able to do a segment with me for Throwdown, but he also mentioned "he would be fine for the show" and intended to RP. No idea if something else cropped up because I didn't see a peep from him since.

If you guys care enough to sign up and RP for your first couple shows, at least stick around for the PPV. I get when real life gets in the way, trust me it has happened to me plenty of times, but my sympathy kind of stops when I'm told "everything's cool, I'm gonna RP" and then nothing happens. PPVs are where we really throw down and bust ass and everyone who did RP put out their best stuff, on the board and on Twitter. So it sucks to see that get dragged down by people who don't step up.

However I DO hope Fargo's okay and that this is just an anomaly because he really is a good writer.

Second, I'm super proud of Hayden. What a story you have built with Dream. You absolutely deserve to have Dream have the FIW Championship. I think storylinewise, RP wise, everything--it just worked to do this title change. So, good call whoever decided to do it. Johnny's name is made forever around here with everything that's happened to that character and Dream's story was just too compelling for him not to win. I even picked against him on the Road Report! :P

Third, I don't think you're doing a disservice to Lita or to the Hellcats division at all Wight.

I understand your worries and concerns but bluntly no one who really has been here through the good and bad parts of FIW would ever think there was some kind of favoritism going on when it comes to Lita. I think all of us are close to Lita, save the new people, and they I hope would see how tough of an out she is and how much she contributes to the fed that really none of us are surprised when she succeeds or wins a title. And to say nothing of how hard she works to help other characters and handlers (She's sure helped ME a lot too). I think the Tag Team titles have been such a staple of the company too and Otaku's done such a nice job elevating those, and Sticky will do even better than that with the Alphas holding the belts again.

Basically, coming from somebody who's played with you for years and also been your friend for years, I think you're doing great. FIW's stock and profile has erupted since you took over and have been willing to do things like Twitter and other stuff. I think a lot of us would agree you're doing great. You have every right to think a lot about your decisions and stuff and I think that makes you a really good fed-head.

First i'd like to just say that we are doing a damn good job so far. I think anyone here except maybe new people would understand if Lita did get both titles. She's very good and busts her ass off. Second i want to apologize for the lack of rps and for being so late. Especially for Conceived Sorrow. I hope Jordan and Jerri or at least Jordan can start getting back on track.

Every match was good tonight even the pre-show matches. Thank you all who Rped and all who wrote matches, and segments. You guys and gals are the real MVPs tonight and this past cycle. A huge congrats to Hayden and Dream. About damn time he got the big one! Congrats to Sticky for getting them Tag Titles too. I'm very honored to of even gotten them in the first place and hey, i got at least one defense in! so i'm not too bad right?

Eversole and Stanton was interesting as well. Kinda curious to see what's happening next. Also sorry my segment was uncodded. Last time it fucked up on another site i'm running it in too and i think here as well. Not sure whats happening with it, but i hope you guys will enjoy and stick with me through later "episodes" things will get interesting and what not later on.

For the no shows, well i understand shit happens and stuff, but please make sure to let at least wighty know something. It would be great to let your opponent/partner/ect know something too though. Please try to show up. If you know shit in advance let people know and if you cant do this than just take a break till you can ok? it will not only help you, but everyone else too.

The show was great even though there were a lot of issues that should have kept it from being so. A huge thank you to Wight and Nir for everything they've done not just for this show but all of the shows leading up to it. Great job to everyone who put effort into RPing for the event, too. There were a lot of no shows but those who did show really did a great job. I had so much fun with RPs this cycle and I'm proud of everything I did. I hope everyone else is proud of what they did.

So. For those unaware, this is my adieu. It's honestly something that has been coming for a while and I did my best to stave it off. I've had a lot of good times in this fed and this event was one of them for sure. The storylines I had going into this event were nothing short of incredible. Hayden and Bleak are two of my favorite people in this fed and I am so happy that I was able to work with both of them on my way out of here. Even more happy that they're the two my characters went down to in their final matches here. Two of the most talented and nicest people in the fed, hands down. I really hope they both enjoyed what I was able to put out for the matches. Also, I hope I captured Dream's big moment well enough for Hayden's liking.

I'm a little bummed that I won't get the opportunity to work with the likes of Starr, Caspian Kace, and Declan Black more than I was able to before this event. All three of you are bright prospects for this fed and it makes me so happy to see great characters that are handled by great people. Andre, remember what I said about getting those RPs in early. I expect to see Declan Black as FIW Champion sooner rather than later and you know how to get it. Starr and Kace - keep doing what you two do. It's phenomenal. Also sad I won't get to work with Ike Travers at all as I really liked that character and a tremendous handler as well. I can't wait to see what he accomplishes here.

Will - I'm super proud to see what you have been doing not just here in FIW but all over Twitter. You and I have never really been the close ones despite probably being the longest-running members in this community. We've always known one another, we've always chatted, we've even worked together (mostly in NGIW), but never really close. I feel like we've gotten closer during this last year and as much as you've grown from when you started here in FIW, this last year or so has seen another tremendous growth in your talent and I've loved everything we've been able to do together; even if it's almost all just been goofy Twitter stuff!

Dai - It's amazing to think that you're like the newbie of the group. Nir's newer, but still. You just snuck into the core, didn't you? Lol. I remember just knowing who Dai was and then I remember Dai being someone that I talked to every single day about the strangest things like Raptors and Japanese Power Rangers. We did some of the greatest things of all time in NGIW and I will always look back fondly on the Sakura/Brittany trilogy. Three of the best matches I ever remember writing and probably the most character development Brittany ever received in this fed. I'm sad we don't really talk as much anymore, but stupid messengers died on us.

Nir - We used to talk all the time, too. Now we really don't. A lot of my characters have been a part of Joe Stanton's life and they've all benefited some way in their character development because of it. I see you continuing to do that for so many people and I'm really happy to see that you haven't changed. Both in that aspect and in being a workhorse for feds you're passionate about like this one and NGIW. I'm glad that you came back.

Hayden - Briefly mentioned you above, but I love you. You're even newer than Dai and Nir, but I feel like I've known you for ages. I felt like I was bugging you a lot in NGIW to work with you, but I'm glad that I did because I'm happy to know that Seto is making Suri happy. I'm happy that The Dream is the friend that Johnny Amazing needs in his life. I'm happy that Marilyn will probably never figure out to tell Caleb that she wants to jump his bones. I'm happy that The Dream will never give up his quest to find Harley Torres! Mostly, I'm happy that like The Dream you never let life knock you down and now you're where you deserve to be as FIW Champion.

Bleak - Also mentioned you above, but you know that you're one of my favorite writers. The transformation you made with Stephen J. Eversol was nothing short of miraculous. Not only did the pic base change, but the entire character kicked it into high gear and became one of the biggest names in FIW. I was so happy to be a part of that with Kim Coulter, Brittany, and Johnny Amazing. I'm glad we were able to mend the fences with Eversol and Brittany before I left. Even happier that Johnny was finally able to man up to Mercedes. And even happier still that Mercedes is an incredible Hellcats Champion.

Wight - Bestie. I've been in nearly all of your e-feds and it's not by accident, it's not out of obligation, it's because I love you to death and you know how to show a girl a good time. :P Thank you for giving me a platform to write out my characters in a grand fashion. Thanks for trusting me to write it (yeah, I gave them to you early just so you could make sure I did it with grace *wink*). Just thanks for being the kind of friend who is always honest with me.

I know I forgot people but I just glanced at the roster, guys. Mostly tried to do this from memory but obviously I'm feeling some type of emotional way right now. If I didn't mention you, I apologize, but I'm sure I've got nothing but great things to say about you. I don't think there's anyone in FIW that I don't like or get along with (at least not anymore, because I buried that ages ago with Jim and Kyle!).

Anyway. Thanks for having me guys. Thanks for being my friends. I'll see you all around.

'Tis almost morning. I would have thee gone.
And yet no further than a wanton’s bird,
That lets it hop a little from his hand
Like a poor prisoner in his twisted gyves,
And with a silken thread plucks it back again,
So loving-jealous of his liberty.

Yet I should kill thee with much cherishing.
Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

Thanks so much Lita!!!

I really have admired your work from afar for most of my time here, but it's been a treat to be able to work with you as often as I have been. You have been nothing short of fantastic and I hope we stay in touch.

I'm not sure of what I'm going to say, so I figure I should just say whatever comes to mind.

It's no secret I'm a fan of Lita and her work. I all but begged to have Seto work with Suri and it led to working with the Red Pirates and a happy ending for both. Coming to FIW allowed me to continue working with her and develop even more stories. Dream and Amazing, Dream and April. Dream and Harley.... Dream and everyone, really. Marilyn and Caleb is a particular favorite because sometimes you don't get to tell the person you like how you feel, sometimes you just stay friends and that works out as well. Then again, maybe one day she'll tell her. He's in Europe, right?

More than working with her characters, I'm gonna miss working with her. Whether it's minor interactions or telling the story, I've always enjoyed our work. Dream's been intricately linked to Lita this entire run, and with her stepping away it does feel like a part of Dream is leaving with her. Working with Lita has helped me grow and helped my characters grow as well, and it's worth saying that I would've been perfectly fine had I lost. She's an amazing RP'er and one of the toughest I've ever faced, and if she left with both belts it's because she put in the work and earned it. I sincerely hope that those who have joined us recently know that, because it's true. She may be the best I've seen, and I'm going to miss her terribly.

I'm honored to hold the title and what it means for Dream's progression. And knowing the challenges ahead, I'm eager to face them and do my best.

Regarding Wight's comments, I have to echo his statements. I've had my bad cycles and missed RP's (though I can't really afford to do so now lol), but I see PPV's as a sacred thing. Even if it's minimal, I encourage you to put something out there. I can attest that Wight, Lita, Nir, everyone on the staff, they put so much time and effort into these big shows, and it can be a bit discouraging to see minimal or zero output. I know things come up and real life takes hold, I do. But letting the staff know or posting in OOC and letting us know what's happening is always appreciated.

OK, I'm trying very hard not to rant here because lord knows when I do it gets really ugly, but 1. I do have to say some stuff to air out issues I'm having (with me, not with any of you) and 2. I had to close at work and my local CW station moved ROH Wrestling earlier by half an hour so I MISSED GLACIER IN THE HONOR RUMBLE TONIGHT. I'M FUCKING PISSED OFF. Also, long day at work and it's abnormally hot and humid for this time of year here.

Anyhoo.

I've admitted both here and in the Twitter chat that I'm really struggling with my creativity. I don't like having to have such a hard goddamn time trying to think of something for either of the Wolves to say and then not get it posted until about eighteen hours before deadline. It's not fair to whoever I face and it's not fair to Wighty since he has to judge everything. But it's even worse when I put out something subpar that's a rewarmed version of something I've already done. That's part of the reason why the "Predator" persona is now being relegated to something akin to the "Demon" of Finn Balor. I was basically doing the same shit over and over, and part is my work schedule killing my creativity, part is my writer's block (which jhas affected all my dirty fanfics as well, though I'm going to outright scrap and rewrite two of them).

But the thing is, I also try to put out SOMETHING, even if it blows chunks. I don't think I've ever no-showed a match here so far.

As far as the drama stuff goes: I've been responsible for more than my share of drama and been the target of drama, and both suck. If Lita had been cleared tow in both belts, I would have been fine with it. IF SOMEONE DOES GOOD WORK IT SHOULD BE REWARDED. Otaku did good work and won the tag belts back in July (and on a side note, I honestly thought I lost this cycle. That's how good a job he did). Hayden did good work and finally fucking got Dream a world title. Maybe we should worry more about doing good shit and less about the drama that may or may not happen.

And with that rant finished, sucks that Lita is leaving because she's been one of the best I've ever been in a fed with. Would have loved to have ran Amazing vs. Richlen one more time.

Match feedback; it was pretty good. The opening bits seemed to have a few grammatical errors and Chip's silence was concerning. lol Other than that it was good. Extensive cheating from Crystal and Sakura picking up the win made sense. Congrats to Dai on that. :)

Feedback feedback: For the record, I never go to the feedback thread first before reading results because...it's feedback. Not predictions. What do people expect to find there? My apologies for my own shortcomings this week I have...potentially the worst excuse. I was on vacation and I didn't do anything. lol That's what created the rush for me this past week and what created the mess that was my second RP. So my fault there.

As it pertains to a couple of personal things...Fresh Blood is gonna have a delayed start. Procrastination is my worst enemy as I still need to finish bios and such so everyone at least gets an idea of who these individuals are. I'll keep going with little bits until the ball actually gets rolling though. But I will say the thought of potentially losing the Hellcat title concerns me in this regard. What with the character cap it would basically only leave me with a single option of who to bring in if the entire division dissolves. That would suck.

When it comes to Crystal, her cheating storyline is essentially over. It was short as originally planned but fun. I hope it was enjoyable for what was produced and, ultimately, we now know there's a semi dark side in her. :P

Party on,
Joe.

I love this place. I don't think there was favoritism in anything. Lita is a tremendous writer. I'm proud that I got to be ina fed with her even though we never worked together. I hope we meet up down the road. As for my rps lately, I'm having to use a phone due to having no pc. I want to get more involved but I also work at WalMart with forty hours a week. Again the show was awesome and I'll try to promote FIW more

I used to work at Wal*Mart. Hell of a job. I loved it, but at the same time it killed me.

I don't know what I'm doing with the titles/roster yet. I'm feeling things out here first. I want to be able to facilitate stories, and I'm grateful for the positive support, but we have to concern ourselves with those voices we don't hear.

Well, I gotta apologize here the no-show. It's the first time I've ever missed a deadline for anything in an e-fed, let alone at a PPV. It was my fault for the shitty time management. I had a lotta shit the past 2 weeks including exams/personal issues/work and I managed to forget the deadline. I don't want it to happen again. I am also not sure if my buddy Fargo has told anyone here about what specifically has been going on in his life, and I don't wanna disclose it because if he hasn't told anyone then I feel he wouldn't want people to know. He had a VERY serious situation pop up in real life, something that if it happened to you there's probably no shot that you'd be able to get an RP up.

I do really enjoy the layout of this fed and all the people here seem to be really chill, so it's something that I don't want to happen again. Now that I do have more free time I really want to get involved and devote more time here. I do enjoy the way the fed is currently set up but if it people believe it is a good decision to close the Hellcat Division I'm all for it.

I hope I can make it up to everyone for messing up here, and I'm mad that I even did it. Sucks that it seems some people are leaving as well because you all made some great work from what I saw and it's a shame that I'm not gonna get to go up against some of you. Obviously I'm new here but I think you're doing a great job here Wighty and I'm all for any directions you decide to take FIW.

I'm super sad that Lita's going. I'm not one for long paragraphs, but it's been fun and I (and this whole place) is going to miss you.

Match was good, although Sakura's #FoodIssues mean that she wouldn't do a Senton Splash, because that's a fat boy (or girl) move.

I really like the Hellcat title and the Hellcat division; but if we got rid of the Dual Crown, we can get rid of anything.

Regarding the Alpha Wolves, I would suggest maybe trying work with someone in a way that isn't "I'M GOING TO BEAT YOU I HATE YOU SO MUCH GRR ARGH I BEAT YOU BEFORE I BEAT YOU AGAIN DON'T YOU DARE NOT TAKE US AS SERIOUSLY AS WE TAKE US." A friendly rivalry, a love triangle, a new hobby; something a little different so that the bulk of your output isn't just promos of varying degrees of anger.

There's plenty of people in FIW who can help make even the daffiest, half-formed nonsense work into something good; and we're going to need all the help we can get filling out the show with Lita gone. Fresh round of sadness for Lita moving on; she will be missed.

I most got around to be able to sit down and post some feedback. I really liked the show. It was a stellar FIW PPV as we've all come to expect and get. Kudos to Wight, Nir and Lita putting the show on their shoulders and getting it done for us all to enjoy. This show was really promo heavy too. I always like seeeing them in shows.

I liked the match between Joe and Eversol. It was viscous and got the job done of showing them as blood between Stephen and Joe. I really liked the shocking moment and the gravity of Joe being fired having a swerve. The promo before the match where Kim made an appearance was really cool too. I liked how she was completely on Joe's side and not rooting for her former client at all.

I had fun writing the promo for after the match and setting up the beginning to Stephen making Joe his slave for the foreseeable future.

The Mercedes and Brittany match was another masterpiece by Lita, as usual. They pulled no punches on one another and were both hellbent on leaving with that title. I loved that. Brittany's dragon sleeper was a thing of beauty and I loved the more hardcore spots in the third fall.

The promos I did with Lita were great too. I liked Stephen and Brittany becoming friends again after they had been at one another's throats for so long. It shows just how much Stephen has always cared for Brittany despite saying some awful things about her.

And Johnny finally manned up and confessed his love for Mercedes! That was such a cool moment that in glad Lita and I were able to write.

Speaking of Lita. I just wanna say how much I'll miss you. It will be weird with an FIW without you. We've had so much fun writing together over the last three years with Kim, Stephen, Mercedes, Johnny and Brittany that it's odd to envision my characters without yours around too. But thank you so much for the kind words and for writing with me and helping me and encouraging me to become a better writer myself. I know I wouldn't have gotten to the point that I've gotten to without your amazing input and advice. You've always been so kind to me and you'll always have a friend in me, FIW or not. Take care and don't you dare be a stranger.
