WFWF General Discussion 2019

Yes I do think only great writers should get into an e-fed hall of fame. E-fedding is more about writing stories than it is about wrestling. It is all great and good that Yukio or whoever the f~ck held this place together whenever. With all the traffic on this board, this fed is going to continue no matter who is around. It has gone dormant multiple times and it always comes back. Seeing as how I know how much goes into running this fed, I would never use that an excuse to be in a fictional hall of fame for my fictional character in the fictional wrestling promotion. Just because someone was a mod or wrote some shows doesn't make their character any more relevant. If they suck, they suck and shouldn't be getting praise for sucking. This isn't some rec league soccer where everyone deserves a trophy. No everyone does.

Why is it ludicrous? Are you worried that you might be one of the ones gutted from the hall of fame without all the sh~t you did as owner working to your advantage? Or are you worried about the feelings of people who aren't active anymore?

I honestly don't care about being in it myself but if I am in it, I don't want to be lumped in with a bunch of hack job writers. I have no problem being in the company of Trace, Drakz, Alex Sean, EBR or Mike and some others. They are all great writers who proved they deserve it. But I do have a problem with it being assumed that some one like Yukio or Johnny Michaels was on the same level as myself or the guys I named. I have strong opinions about Obo but he deserved his spot. He doesn't deserve to be lumped into the same category as say CBT or "Man Of The Hour" Josh. Obo is head and shoulders above those guys.

There are people in the Hall of Fame who are there because they deserve it and there are people in the Hall of Fame who are there because someone in power liked them. The latter is what I think should be cut. And if their feelings get hurt so be it. The world doesn't cater to snowflakes.

What a way to wake up from a very pleasant nap...

This is my final plea for cooler heads before the discussion gets any uglier. I can understand why previous owners haven't done anything to the HoF. It barely took a day for us to approach the line that separates vigorous debate from personal attacks, which I personally will not tolerate.  Deep Figure Value and I should throw our arms in the air and say it's not worth the grief, delete some posts, and zap you all with our Men in Black light pen so you forget this ever happened.

The HoF is obviously hot button issue for some and a big fat load of "who cares" for others. I fall in the latter category because a list of names with no context means zip to me. That's why I was interested in an overhaul.  And this was as much my idea as it was Deep Figure Value 's.  You wanna' point fingers, you'll have to use two of them.

In my two years here I've seen that the WFWF has two types of honorifics: the Hall of Fame and the End of Year awards. The HoF is a source of controversy, complaints, and contempt. The End of Year awards, when we do them, are the complete opposite.  Nobody has lost their mind over the ____ of the Year winners.  We recognize the winners with congratulatory slaps on the back and friendly warnings of "wait 'til next year".

Ask yourself why? The answer is simple. The End of Year Awards have clearly defined criteria and a set process of a democratic vote to decide the winners.  The HoF has no defined criteria and no set process.

As far as I can tell, the HoF is literally a crap shoot of whoever the people in power decided to add to the list.  Apparently, some took it seriously and others f***ed around.  None could be bothered to leave an explanation for the next generation of members as to why someone is in the HoF, not even a short sentence saying: "Wrote kick ass RPs" or "Won lots of titles" or "Wrote the same character for ten years" or "Is the king of recruitment" or "Saved the fed from deletion in 1887".  I'll be brutally blunt: it's not a legacy, it's a joke.

We can keep it as it is and quite honestly I will ignore its very existence as it doesn't mean a goddamn thing to me in its current form.  Nobody will get dropped (not that we ever intended to do that!) or reclassified or have an asterisk placed next to their name but at the same time nobody will get added, at least not by me.  I'd rather win Superstar of the Year than get inducted into the HoF as it stands now.  Maybe if you get Deep Figure Value drunk he will slide your name into the list.

Anyways, that's what's going on in my head right now.  I'm tired of tiptoeing through a minefield.  We can't even talk about what makes someone a HoFer without it getting ugly.  If a quietly discontented status quo keeps the peace then let's go with it.  It won't deter me from doing my best to keep this place active, thriving, and producing fun shows for all.

Well...that escalated quickly.

*slowly backs away*

It's not that bad.  The HoF is a small part of a much bigger picture that is still very much worth enjoying.

I had my "Stop it or I'll turn this car around" moment.  I'm over it.  I hope everyone else is too.

The next show is coming up, lots of new and returning guys to keep the card fresh and interesting.  Let's get back to what we do best and HAVE FUN.

Hey c-scope , since Trevor Wolf is back would you mind putting up a bio when you have the time?  I couldn't find your old bio in the Inactive List so it looks like you'll have to start from scratch.  Sorry 'bout that.

Sizzle Brandon Bison's bio is there.  It's up to you if you want to update it for any changes that happened during his sabbatical like, I dunno'... shaving your awesomely manly McMann-ish beard.  

Thanks guys.

When did Trevor wolf announce his return?

Well I’ll go continue reading the show then!

Stone is too damn tired these days
