I conducted a farewell interview with duaner earlier and asked him some questions on the history of WPF here it is:
Times are missing form the first questions as I had to switch pcs so Duaner copied and pasted what we'd done.
Well there you have it, Duaner's farewell. Also Duaner agreed to be inducted into the hof so expect to see him in it when I put everything up.
MJH1709: first off congrats on running one of the best weekly shows on wf ever!
mrplow7051: didn't do it alone.
mrplow7051: it was a group effort.
mrplow7051: but thank you.
MJH1709: Who would you say helped you the most out of the photoshop figure community?
mrplow7051: it was a core actually.
mrplow7051: not just one guy helped me the most
mrplow7051: almost like a creative team or a braintrust
mrplow7051: i would say you, dielawn, gazza, & cass were the guys though.
MJH1709 (10:22:59 PM): ok cool next part then
MJH1709 (10:23:58 PM): During the time of WPF there were alot of world champions, who would you say was the best and who was your favourite
mrplow7051 (10:24:35 PM): the best? Dielawn, had a dominant reign and fended off everyone in his way. my favorite? never disliked a world champion.
MJH1709 (10:26:03 PM): Dielawns first title reign was a long time, and could proabably be considered an era, which era of WPF would you say was the best?
mrplow7051 (10:26:54 PM): late 2007-early 2008 i think it was then. we just went back to one show, everyone was partcipating, it was fun.
MJH1709: yeah Dielawn definately contributed alot, speaking of Dielawn he was probably your best friend for along time, at one point though alot of people seemed to think you were biased, would you say you ever unfairly gave people title shots or pushes because of who they were?
mrplow7051: im gunna come right out and say yeah i did. the aftermentioned guys got most of the "biased" title shots i would say. im not taking anything away from them, as they mostly did earn it. i throw title shots here and there for helping me.
MJH1709 (10:23:58 PM): During the time of WPF there were alot of world champions, who would you say was the best and who was your favourite
mrplow7051 (10:24:35 PM): the best? Dielawn, had a dominant reign and fended off everyone in his way. my favorite? never disliked a world champion.

mrplow7051 (10:26:54 PM): late 2007-early 2008 i think it was then. we just went back to one show, everyone was partcipating, it was fun.
MJH1709 (10:28:38 PM): Yeah that was good, there have been times when WPF has been bad though, sometimes because of fighting, looking back which fights or fueds would you say are infamous in WPF history and do you think you handled the fighting the best you could
mrplow7051 (10:29:01 PM): ill answer the second part first...
mrplow7051 (10:30:20 PM): no, i could've not been such a pushover and gave people proper punishments. instead, for mostly 2 years, i let people walk all over me and that was one of the reasons why i left. if people complained, they usually got their way. end of that. worst time in wpf? july-september 08
MJH1709 (10:31:45 PM): Well it's a shame WPF had to go out on a low, there have been alot of good times though, what would you say was the best moment in WPF history
mrplow7051 (10:32:08 PM): thats tough
mrplow7051 (10:32:13 PM): there has been some great times.
mrplow7051 (10:32:21 PM): i honestly cant just choose one.
MJH1709 (10:32:30 PM): top 3 then?
mrplow7051 (10:32:48 PM): alright fair enough.
mrplow7051 (10:33:40 PM): Dielawn vs. Junta, such a big match at the time. Great One coming in, just a brand new fresh face. Halifax Connection & their mischief.
MJH1709 (10:34:41 PM): ok now who would you say were the top 5 WPF superstars of all time
mrplow7051 (10:34:58 PM): friends or ability?
MJH1709 (10:35:13 PM): ability and acheivements in WPF
mrplow7051 (10:35:31 PM): in no particular order of course:
mrplow7051 (10:36:36 PM): MJH, Dielawn, Great One, Mania (in his prime), and Bret
MJH1709 (10:37:44 PM): ok and one last question IF you could've done one thing differently in WPF what would it have been?
mrplow7051 (10:38:26 PM): i've done too much wrong to pick just one thing
MJH1709 (10:38:59 PM): well if you could change one decision you made what would it be?
mrplow7051 (10:39:20 PM): one random one then
mrplow7051 (10:39:45 PM): not letting cass comete against g1, as cass only had 2 figures, when the stip was a stable. thus, cass won (no idea how) and g1 was screwed.
mrplow7051 (10:39:51 PM): forgot what show it was at.
MJH1709 (10:40:34 PM): ok I guess that wraps it up, is there one final message you want to leave to everyone who participated in WPF?
mrplow7051 (10:41:20 PM): i thank everyone who atleast made an attempt to help wpf in anyway, but honestly, most people i dislike anyway. thanks for the time.
mrplow7051: didn't do it alone.
mrplow7051: it was a group effort.
mrplow7051: but thank you.

Times are missing form the first questions as I had to switch pcs so Duaner copied and pasted what we'd done.
Well there you have it, Duaner's farewell. Also Duaner agreed to be inducted into the hof so expect to see him in it when I put everything up.
