WF SIMS BOARD HALL OF FAME & AWARD ACCOLADES (2020 UPDATE!)

HALL OF FAME SIM WRITERS:

Kevin Hart

2020 Hall of Fame Inductee

Inducted by Red Dragon: Bret Hart's nickname was the “Excellence of Execution”, and this could easily be applied to Kevin. Kev is personally one of my all time favourite writers. His writing seems to come to him with such ease and his booking always makes you come back to check what’s happening next. Kev has two Hall of Fame diaries based on WWE. Either alone would be worthy of including Hart as a writer into the HOF. The first lasting over 100 pages, such an amazing achievement. Hart has since gone into review real life shows on newsite, spam sharing his wrestling and writing knowledge.


AJ

2020 Hall of Fame Inductee

Inducted by Red Dragon: Diaries take time. From planning them out to writing out the results. A lot of diaries never even get round to posting a single show. Those that do, don’t generally manage to make it to the second or third page. Imagine the time and effort needed to create a diary that lasts over a 100 pages. Well AJ currently has the longest diary ever on the board at 133 pages. Spanning WWE from 2009 to 2014, it’s an incredible feat. But longevity is one thing but quality is another. AJ is blessed with both as his shows are written and posted with so much care to detail. In addition to his 133 pager, AJ also teamed with fellow Hall of Famer DTP for another HOF worthy diary in their WWENTERTAINMENT diary which shows what happens when two of the greatest Sims Board writers of all time team up.



HEELRyan

2020 Hall of Fame Inductee

Inducted by Red Dragon: I’m going to call him by the name I know him best, although I know he had many names on this Board. His WWE diary is nothing short of phenomenal. It’s the greatest example of what this Board can accomplish. He deserves to go in the Hall of Fame multiple times over. The way the diary evolves through the different banners is incredible. From a straight WWE diary into something personal, engaging and different. By the time it reaches the H̶E̶R̶E̶T̶I̶C̶S̶ banner it has become something so different, bringing in elements of so many different promotions flawlessly and combining this with such compelling characters with such great backstories. The diary will forever hold up as one of the Board’s greatest (if not the) achievement.



Bob Bob Bobelow

2020 Hall of Fame Inductee

Inducted by Red Dragon: Writing historic diaries is always hard. You need to have a great knowledge of the era and the workers involved before you even think about writing. Then you need to capture the era in your writing. Bob has always done this with great ease regardless of what diary or era he is writing. His Hall of Fame WWF 93-95 diary is his greatest example of this. Morphing history into his own image. At times you have to remember that you’re not reading the real results of what happened all those years ago, which I think is the highest praise you can get. As well as being a top writer, Bob also served as MOD and continues to be one of the most well respected members of the Board.



Red Dragon

2020 Hall of Fame Inductee

Inducted by Red Dragon: This board means alot to me. I started on this board when I was 14 and am still around (partly) 12 years later. My biggest contribution is SNW. This would never have existed without the inspiration of both Kamestou’s SCW and Ricky’s SFF. It’s something I’m very proud of which has evolved over time from comedy skits to a promotion with it’s on character and brand. I’ve always liked to do something different, I’ve never done a straight up WWE diary. The closest I’ve gotten is WF League which I’m also very proud of. I was also lucky enough to serve as MOD in a time when the board was very active. I just want to thank all those who have interacted with me or inspired me during my time here.


Previous Inductees

Ricky

Inducted by Fury: Very versatile booker, can book any era, any promotion basically and can make it an entertaining read. He was mod of this board when I first got here and has had some very memorable diaries including his ECW & old school WWF diaries particularly his WWF 1993. But perhaps his most successful and most entertaining diary (and one of the most entertaining & successful on the board ever) is the Sims Fantasy Federation (SFF), he took a concept of booking guys from this board and turned it into his child, it's been through over 70 pages in 2 seperate threads and has experienced almost every possible thing and has made for one of the most entertaining diaries I have ever seen on the board.

Inducted by Fury: Was before my time unfortuantely but the things that I have seen have been incredible to say the least and many people say he was the best booker ever. Some notable diaries that I have experienced are his WWE 2006 & his Fusient buys WCW diary.

Inducted by Fury: A near flawless booker imo, definantely one of the best I have ever seen. He too can do a range of promotions from a range of eras and has been the best booker & writer I have experienced in my stay. He has had a range of successful and great diaries including the best adaptation of a modern WCW diary. His old school diaries have also been memorable including his WCW 1993 & WWF 1991, plus I've also had the pleasure of doing a 1991 split with him. The fact is he could take the worst possible idea for a diary and turn it into an entertaining diary. Was also voted by his peers as the best booker on the board for 2007.

Chaz

Inducted by Ricky: I could write a pretty big intro for this guy and still not have said everything I could have. I can't think of anyone else on the board I butted heads with and yet was cool with at the same time except maybe Duaner. Maybe. Chaz was one of a select few who were around back when I was actually active on the board who I actually asked their thoughts on what I was doing with my fed/sim/diary/journal/whatever the cool kids are calling them these days. This was back in an era where dudes could take some pretty stiff criticism and that's pretty much what he had to offer me and vice versa. He's one of the best guys from my 'era' as it were that could do a great modern fed and could also do the early 90s WWF stuff and that's a pretty good indicator of how smart he is. He doesn't excel at one specific thing, the guy can adapt to the booking of any era and make it work and there are VERY few who can do it as well as him.

Fury

Inducted by Red Dragon: Fury is a writer/booker who all new members on the board can really look up to. As Fury admits himself, "every diary I began to improve and learned more and more", and he improved to become one of the boards best bookers. His first diary to break into the Hall of Fame was a WWF 1989 diary, but his personal favorite diary was his ECW diary and particularly the ending stretch. As well as being a top writer Fury took on the mantle of MOD, despite not being on the board for a long time. His legacy as MOD still lives on today: he created the first Sims league, the guidebook and this HOF was his idea. As a fellow MOD, Fury's influence still lives on today and his rare visits to the board are always a treat.

Duaner

Inducted by Matt Original: Well, what can I say about Duaner? Not only is he a great writer, booker, friend, etc. etc. He's helped me get into sims, and its a shame that our only split together didn't last a day. All of his diaries are worth a million bucks, and some would even say priceless. It's an honor, and a privilege to induct one of my friends into the hall of fame.

T-Mac

2008 Hall of Fame Inductee
Inducted by Fury: T-Mac, TommyMac, supersonic, Egame, whatever screen name he is going by for the hour he will always be remembered on the sims board as a great booker. Mac’s first ever diary on this board was his WWE 2007, which incidently won the hotly contested modern diary of the year award, a diary and a booker which many people say influenced much of what they’ve presented to the board. But TMac was far from a one trick pony, constantly dishing out fun reads, he was also a master of suspense, he left many diaries (WCW Revivals, modern day Monday night wars, wrespi etc) and left you wanting more, no one could hype a diary up like Tmac and he truly was a great member on the sims board.

DTP

Inducted by Red Dragon: Hands down one of the best writers I've ever read on this board and that's not just me talking, that's the whole board. Just look at the HOF diary, awards and spotlights to see how well revered he is. He just does it so consistently, from diary to diary his work is always a highlight of the board. It doesn't matter what era it is, DTP will be able to write it. That comes down to his knowledge and research of the era, whether that's old school WWF to the modern day British indies, DTP will be able to write it to his usual high standards. With DTP he's not just the best writer, you just have to glance over the awards to see his name scattered all over. But it is one award in particular that DTP has made his own (literally), best replier. DTP is and will always will be the best replier and it isn't just spam like Tg11. DTP's long replies have helped many a member improve. His dedication to the board is unparallel and this HOF spot is very well deserved.

Inducted by Red Dragon: You only got to look at the sign up's through the years to see Chris Hammers' contribution to the board, whether he is a stereotypical Irish brawler, a cult leader or even a evil vampire, Hammers always makes his mark. We all have that one diary that made us come to this board, that one diary that sucked us in. For me, that was Hammers' HOF diary, TNA 2005. I read that diary from start to finish and I was hooked. It was exactly what the board was all about: good booking, great writing and imagination. Hammers has always been a popular member of the board and someone who I know I can go to if I ever need advice. I'm sure the whole board will join me in welcoming Hammers to the HOF.

Inducted by Red Dragon: A Welsh-man inducting another Welsh-man, there's a first. But it isn't just our country that has drawn me to Rated R. He has always been a great writer and a creative booker. His WWE 08 is a great example of this and has earnt a place in the HOF. Rated R's ability to book any era is just one of his many weapons in his arsenal. I've had the pleasure of working alongside Rated R in IndyNation, his skill, professionalism and friendliness is a something for all members to try and replicate. Despite all this, I can't help but feel that Rated R is undepreciated on this board. Rated R, I just hope that this HOF entry makes up for some of that.

Inducted by Merc: I would be lying if I said I know every single booker in this place, hell, I've yet to talk with about 95% of them. Having said that, I am damn sure there is, and there will never be, anybody as excited, as passionate for booking as my boy Tyger. Mr. KvE has been on this for too short. Yes, that is right, for too short, because the person I'm talking about has yet a lot to offer. The person I'm talking about has given us entertainment and shown his knowledge of the wrestling world for years, yet it has been too short for us because I, for one, and I'm sure that everybody will agree with me, wish he started earlier so we could delight with his work. His mind is full of creativeness, and I am really excited to see him get the recognition of all his hard work. I'm so glad and honored to have been chosen for you to do this. It has been long overdue, buddy. But this is the day, man. This is your day. Congratulations, and let the chants begin. "One more sim! One more sim! One more sim!".

Inducted by Red Dragon: It is about time Jord is inducted into the HOF. He's been busting out diaries from before I joined this board and still does today. I've been a fan ever since I joined the board because he always brings something different to the table. The word I'd use to describe Jord is colourful. That's not just the amazing graphics he designs not just for himself but for others too but also in the creativity he uses. Jord's diaries have always been imaginative, always trying to do something a little different which have been a huge influence on my own work. He's a sim elder who is well respected but also very approachable. On top of all this, his avatar is hypnotising, please Jord never stop simming because we'd miss Katy Perry's bouncing Elmo's.

Inducted by Red Dragon: For me, Matty O will always be the MOD. And that's no disrespect to all the other great MOD's before and after him. But it's like Doctor Who or James Bond, Matty O was the MOD when I was starting out. What really struck me about his reign as MOD was how laid back he was. On other boards MOD's would be stuck up and get complaint after complaint. So when I was handed MOD-ship I seeked to emulate Matty O. But he's not just in the HOF for being MOD. He's a top top writer. He's the first member who showed me what you can do outside of a conventional promotion diary, that diary was his HOF Road to WWE contract diary. I was a massive fan and have always wanted to copy it but I know it will never be as good as the Original (pardon the pun).
