Slappy - Hall of Fame class of 2013

When I was to be inducted years ago I passed on it because I did not feel I was in the same league as the others being inducted.

I've been here for so long and have seen so much. I've seen greats like Smurf and Philly come and go (I don't mean to leave out any other greats that no longer post shows). I see all time greats still posting shows and the future of text feds starting shows. I've seen feds that I hated like Total Non-Stop Crap. I've seen a lot in my many years doing this. I've seen active times, I've seen dead times. No matter what time it was I've had a ton of fun and it has been very exciting. I want to give a shout out to ICW and WCWA. Both have helped me along and have partly shaped me into the text fed writer I am today.

I remember the board renaming period where we kept pleading with Jack to change the name of the board. I remember the many different times we tried to institute a territory system. I was mod for, what seemed like, a very long time.

I've had several different feds over the years. Total Ruthless Aggression (TRA) was my first. From my quick searching it seems my first TRA show is on the Fantasy Booking board and the show was called Showdown. That took place in March of 2006. My second short lived (1 episode) fed was TRAW (which I'm assuming is Total Ruthless Aggression Wrestling) which took place in June 2006.

My foray to this board occurred in March 2007 (again according to my quick searching) with, you guessed it, TRA. But this time the show was called Slamfest (which I'm pretty sure I wrote at least 12 weekly episodes and a couple PPVs but I can only find one episode). Then TRA: Main Event (1 episode) and once again TRA: Slamfest (1 episode).

Then came WCW in late 2009. I did a lot of episodes and a couple PPVs. My last show was Nitro 13 before the PPV. In a bit of real life imitating art, I actually had wrestlers walk out due to who the new CEO was nearly a year before WWE did something similar. I actually took it a step further and brought in ECW wrestlers to wrestle in place of the striking WCW wrestlers.

And now I have All World Wrestling (AWW) which I'm in the process of completing episode 6. And will continue producing shows into the future as long as you all will have me.

Thank you, all of you who have made this ride special, fun and memorable. I graciously accept my place in the Text Fed Hall of Fame.

It's about time you got inducted Slaps, I still don't understand how I got inducted before you.
