All this talk about ownership runs makes me remember my run when we had to make the judging panel because people didn't trust my judgement on matches. I would never want to run this place again... *back to lurking* That's because Elias was a fudge nugget. There were a few of them.

A voting committee is one of the worst ideas ever, save for the current "incarnation" wherein a small handful of reliable and time tested writers can be relied upon to break ties.
If two "owners" can't be relied upon (by the majority) to call matches on an even keel, then really, they can't be relied upon to do what they've been out in place to do. I'd go as far as to say that, outside of one glaring instance in which I had a huge problem with the way a situation was handled, if the voting committee really came to be as a result of the aired complaints of a few vocal writers (who, if I I had to guess, I'd be surprised to see even still active here), then that, far beyond any question of validity in the W/L process would be the glaring blemish on the tenure of the Ace/Shawn tandem.

Honestly thinking back on the ten years I've been part of this fed this is easily one of the most chilled out periods in terms of people not purposefully being a pain in the ass.

This roster is the best chill wise since you and I got here. And talent wise, the crop reminds me a lot of you, me, Bish, Reckless, PC, JD and any others from our bunch. This could be the most successful the place has been in years and I'm happy to have played a role with recruiting and happy to be seeing it as a bystander.

To be candid, back then I really didn't think I deserved to be owner and that I was because I was the only person at the time willing to do it, or if there was someone else they were even less qualified than I was. I also remember being the only one around at the time who didn't have a warning bar so I could actually become mod. I felt over my head with all of the ego going on at that point in time. My memory may be off here, but there were 3 or 4 people at the time, with at least two of them being upper people who thought it would be a good idea to try out the voting committee. I kind of agreed with them at the time because I didn't think I was on the same level as any of the owners who had been in place in my time in the fed so maybe my opinion wasn't as valid. I've read some of my stuff recently and this feeling has diminished a little, but that was where my mind was at at the time. Though I can't speak for Shawn. Looking back, it was obviously a bad idea that delayed results every single time it was in place. I admit that I was never the best owner, but I did my best. I would never do it again, let alone come back as a writer.

The voting committee was a joke. Elias and a couple of others were upset that Kyzer had lost to Schneider and that saying "I felt Schneider's RP was better" even after later analyzing it in depth to appease them so they basically pulled a no confidence. Elias, a guy who had two matches before It's Super Effective and maybe four afterwards, was the loudest mouth and arguably the one person I would never welcome back to WFWF.
Peoole want to disagree with that decision that was made, fine. Opinions are opinions. Fact of the matter is that the two people in charge voted 2-0 that one guys RP was better than the others. But because the collective hive mind at the time disagreed, Ace had to give in and as a result I had to let the committee play itself out till it self destructed.
Ace, you were a fantastic owner. You didn't get the spot just because you were one of the few qualified: I was owner and never, ever did any moderation on this board. That's why Thunder stayed on, Bishop became mod etcetera. You got the spot because not only were you dependable, you were so much better than you ever gave yourself credit for. You hit a lot of road blocks, but you were a good writer, good RP analyzer and we'll respected by the people who actually mattered.

I'll come back if I ever feel like my stuff will be up to standard and if I'll stay around for longer than 2 shows like my last couple of attempts. My motivation never stays high enough and the reason I left in the first place was because it started to feel like a chore.
Thanks for that though, I appreciate it.

Back with another dumb-sounding question: do you folks think a wrestler with a pseudo-rich guy gimmick and speaks like he's out of the 1920s-30s could work? I don't know if that's the old character to resurrect here or not. Kind of like Ted DiBiase meets a speakeasy meets me insane mind..

Well, I mean, my original character was a highly educated, yet humble millionaire with an extensive vocabulary that sometimes read like a thesaurus. You can literally do ANYTHING you want. Dr. Mantis Toboggan MD is a ing egg man. It's just ultimately about execution.

I remember the time Ace and I were the reason Andrew Carter and Giant Kahn (think that's what his name was) "left" this place. Mind you, Ace and I were like the only ones being civil to them when they needed to go change their diapers.

Proggy? Welcome back. Aye. You excited for the ThunderVerse coming soon? Of course. Would have loved it a few months ago, bit pressed for time at the moment so not sure I'll be able to get too into it when it does come out. Is a Demento/James return on the cards?

With the RP up, it's onward to the match. I didn't take much in the way of liberties when it came to my last triple thread no show, but oh I'm taking some liberties this time around.

Andrew Carter. How is the RP rodeo going for everyone? I should probably get mine up tomorrow or within the next couple of days. I've started to hit my groove recently after a few scratched off ideas. I think the end result is better than those past attempts so I've been feeling good about it. Does he even have an account on here anymore? I realize this is old, but yes. Yes he does. It's awfully tempting to tag him here and let him see that he is one of WFWF's newest penultimate jokes. But generally, I think we're all better off without some manner of "wats yall dang problem morans!?"
