My Last Stand (Arrow's Retirement Thread)

I'm retiring.
It's come to that time in my life where I have to move on from this hobby. It's brought me so many things that I cherish. Great friends, recognition from wrestlers who only a mere 5 years ago seemed like untouchable gods to me (bear with me, I was 12), and skills in film making. But as we all know, no one can do this forever. I'm 17 and a year away from college. As some of you know, I want to apply for a film production course. With only a year left until I go, I need to gain as much experience as possible in that field and to create as many projects as I can to put into my portfolio. A portfolio comprised of only wrestling animations won't exactly get me into this program. Another reason is because of me winning the World Heavyweight Championship. After I won the title from Angus over a month ago, I felt like I've accomplished everything in wrestling animation that I wanted to accomplish, therefore destroying my remaining motivation I really had for this hobby. Yes I will finish Live in Montreal, I have about 60% of it done and I refuse to leave that unfinished. But once Live in Montreal is done, WHW will be dead. No more wrestling animations from me after that day. 
No, I'm not moving away from wrestling. I still love wrestling.
No, I'm not stopping collecting. At most, I'm restricting myself to Elites of my favorite wrestlers (Shield, Cesaro, Fandango).
No, I'm not leaving this site.
I'm just not making wrestling animations anymore. 
Yes, I will still upload content to my channel. 
No, I will not become a vlogging channel. My content will be strictly short films, commercials, etc made by me.
So I swear if any of you unsubscribe, I will find you. And I will make you listen to every Breaking Benjamin song. EVERY. SINGLE. ING. ONE.


Okay now that we're done with that, time to thank people. Bear with me, I've been here for 4 and a half years so there's a lot of people I want to thank.

Scott: You are my closest friend on here, you are literally the greatest. Thanks for putting up with 14 and 15 year old me. Love you forever bubba (not the Paul Heyman way though).
Angus: You are my big brother. You're such a cool dude. Glad to call you my friend. 
Rob: You're such an awesome guy Ron Stabford, we need to meet up in NY some day.
Mitch: I know you don't come on here anymore, but if you see this: I'm glad you're doing well with StrauberryJam. Thanks for being such a good friend when we were both weird ass motherers. NGA forever.
JWS: I may have been a dick to you for a long time, but I can gladly say it payed off in the end seeing as we're bros now. I'm also glad that I got the last laugh when I beat you. Suck it.
Ben: I know you'll see this. I could never understood what you said in the 3 times we skyped, so I suggest you fix that. Also you and Kelly are m'kay I suppose. Thanks for banter 2011. <3
Chase: I know you don't come on the boards anymore, but thanks for being a bro. I know I won't stop talking to you anytime soon.
Blake: Thanks for giving me a chance back in 2010. If it wasn't for you I doubt I'd be as well known as I am now. Continue ing sh*t up on Beemania (subscribe to him btw).
Nick: I could just say god and be done but I don't think the noobies would understand what I meant. Thank you for being such a badass guy (and god), one day I will make sure we work together on a film.
LKS: Thanks for putting me over at Day of Reckoning 2010. Even though I didn't win, I still tied you with a sh*t ani. Haha. 
Stevo: Thanks for making me step up in 2012, if it wasn't for you I doubt I'd have stepped up my game to a point where I become WHC.
ThememanXX: Thanks for being such an awesome dude. Just like Nick, I will make sure we work together on a film one day.
The Dutt: Thank you bubba for backing me up whenever people on skype were talking sh*t on Canada. You are the real.
Matty G: Thanks for being my initial inspiration to animate. You're the reason for me. Feel bad.
Brandon(Skater Brandon from UK, don't want any other Brandons going OMG ARROW MENTIONED ME): Thanks for being such an awesome friend. When we sarcastically tweeted people during the Pray for Chris Brown thing, that was the greatest.
Haggar: Thanks for being such an inspiration, if it wasn't for 1NO; I doubt Live in Toronto would have happened.
Ross: Thanks for being such a good mate. The friendship was good too. (Probably the gayest of all the thank yous but we're on a wrestling figure website it's all in good fun)
Andeh: Thanks for being an awesome dude. Shoulda let me retire the WHC but whatevs.
Myyqee: Thanks punkie, even though your Twitter has been taken over by a bot, I'm still going to tweet you.
Jesse: Halo sucks. Also thanks for not full out raging at 14 year old me for saying stupid sh*t.
Walker: Even though we don't talk anymore, you're still a bro. Hopefully you're no longer a midget. 
K3V: Thanks for not hating me after I originated the "K3V peed himself" joke in 2009.
Jedsworld: You're the other reason why I'm here. Don't think Matt gets all the blame. You caused all this to happen too.
MC2: Thanks for being one of my first friends on here, will always remember that. Unless I suffer some sort of brain damage that causes me to lose memory.
Cody: Thanks for being a banter brother during arguably the best banter era ever.
Fave: Thanks for being my flaggot. Suck my balls babe.
Will: You're adorable. 
Josher W: Thanks for being such a good friend, you're always there for me when I need it. Thank you.



Well, it's 12 in the morning and I don't feel like typing out individual thank you's anymore. So here's an honorable mentions list:
RyRy, Deanbaby, Carltonfan2010, Showoff, Luke, JDP, Dr. Nefarious, Jack, Callum, Wes, Dima, stonecold316, WMW animations.


So I retire on here, as the World Champion. Who else can say that? Ross can, but he came back so it doesn't count.
