You posted this in the wrong forum bro. Just a heads up.

Sounds about right. When I try to explain what we do to people (mostly students that showed a knack for writing during my clinicals for school) I'd show them the results and a sampling of work from the top guys here. What I've come to realize is unless they are into wrestling, most don't seem to understand what we do or why we dedicate so much time to it.

It's a ZMaster sighting! *marks out*
Both of my runs in WFWF I always seem to miss you in action.

It'd be a shame if you decided to scrap him dude, because Bennett from what I've read is a very good character. You've been rp'ing for what, 4-5 years? A character based on an exaggerated version of yourself takes time to evolve because you evolve as a person the older you get. Dean 2015 would man slap (that's for you Stan, you manly man) Dean circa 2009-2011 because the traits that make my personality evolved since I was 23 due to maturing as a person during that time. And it could be something as simple as redefining how you present Bennett. But I doubt you've reached your peak. Having dealt with me close to a decade apart, you can attest to how badly 2012 raw, angry, and motivated Schneider would've ate 2007 Obo alive. If you're not constantly growing and improving as a writer, you're doing something wrong and you need to get out. Oh no contest there. Schneider 2012-present would've smashed 2007 Obo without breaking a sweat. I think most of us that have used the same character for many years would agree that the more evolved version is superior to the stick figure we start with. That's why I think the journey is so much fun, because of the comfort level you gain with that character.

Welp, you're f*cked boss man. I watch a lot of the high profile trials in this area or follow the updates in the course of federal cases. One of the most evidence laden days for this f*ckin' Boston bomber hobknob was the day they went through like two years worth of his two Twitter accounts, which was decidedly more interesting than listening to Aaron Hernadez's fiancé put on a display of the youngest recorded case of Alzheimer's in history. I think that's partially how they built the case against these two Juggalo d-bags that broke into a woman's house and hacked her to death and maimed her daughter for fun - Facebook and all that. Erica and I watch a lot of crime dramas, Law and Order, NCIS, CSI, etc. But even as dramatized as everything is on those shows, it still astounds me that people don't cover their tracks very well. Then to top it all off, the defenses their lawyers provide is laughable at best. Yet they expect miracles (ie: OJ). Speaking of which, I think Dave Demento is going to need a good attorney. GET ME JOHNNY COCHRAN! BTW DB, Hernandez's girl wasn't an Alzheimer's case. That broad was just dumb. Typical athlete standards, the dumber and easier, the better.

I just love writing as Drakz too much to stop lol. I get to be the c*nt I always want to be, as for the most part I bite my tongue in reality. Eventually I'll implode and go on a killing spree....... I wonder how this post would be viewed if in 10 years that melt down did actually come. Deep. Can internet posts be used in court?

I think when it comes down to it for me, time was an issue for me on exploring these characters. I think the other factor was just my desire to get the most out of my primary before moving on.

Yeah Drakz, Josh Dean is the only character I've used. Like SYE, I've played with the idea of other characters, but never did much past the a small outline and a couple moves.

To be honest, I have probably lost at least a third of the rp work that I've done over the course of...13 years or so. Considering most of it was pretty bad overall from a character development and presentation standard, it's not a huge loss, just interesting to see how far I've come as a writer and the crazy ass journey I've been on with the Josh Dean character.

Opinions? 01. Favorite Match 02. Favorite Moment 03. Biggest Surprise 04. Show MVP 1. Main event (Sh*t was a nice mix of technical and brutal) 2. Schneider stealing the belt on the way out the door. 3. KKK losing the Tag Titles (I was almost certain Progs and I didn't do enough. 4. Drakz (all his feedback, editing the show, and he wrote a hell of a match between Kyzer and Kirkbride.)

They've always said it would be late 2015... I wouldn't be surprised if it's early 2016 though. You can be sure they'd love him on the December MSG show (if it comes off). No way he debuts outside of Chicago. I agree on the location. Dana is going to try and make as big of a deal as possible out of Punk's debut. It'll be nothing short of a Fox card, but more than likely a prominent spot on a PPV. Something like the third bout in a double championship headliner or the co-main in a PPV that has one title fight would probably be the best spots to get him on to help boost the buyrates. With so much talk of Dillashaw and Mighty Mouse not being strong draws, placing them on the same card as Punk would be the way to go to get the most out of everyone.

My god. What a hell of a PPV. Congrats to badteacher on her impressive win. 1. Nikki Dean vs. Ante Whitner (Josh, you are one helluva match writer) 2. The end of Schneider's career 3. Either KKK losing or Stan McMann getting the biggest win of his career 4. Josh Dean Thank ya sir. I liked the first ladder match I wrote for you guys a little better than the second. Sadly, it is lost in the sands of time though. But I like to think I still managed to tell a good story for Ante and Nikki and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I certainly can take some blame in the results being delayed (having to write the ladder match twice, note to DB, this is why you keep your phone away from a toddler), but hot damn these results are sexuh. Top to bottom, this was an awesome show. The turnout was great and everyone did very well with getting this show together. We should be proud of a show like this guys. Truly awesome.

As a martial arts practitioner and instructor, we teach clean living, respect, integrity, and discipline, virtues which Jon Jones hasn't shown for a long time. I don't need to go into his rap sheet, because that's been done to death. The main points that need to be taken from all of this is that as the face of modern martial arts, you need to conduct yourself accordingly. That means holding yourself to a higher standard and showing accountability. And it can't be his entourage that does it, because they are mostly yes men, and at the end of the day it's not Greg Jackson's job to hold Jon's hand and act as his conscience. This falls on Jon, who has shown that he doesn't make good decisions.
So I applaud Lorenzo and Dana for making that decision. It's certainly not a popular decision to some, but Jon needs to get help. Simple as that. He is too talented of a fighter to let stupidity ruin his career. I'm not trying to act as the moral police, but there's an obvious pattern that suggests Jon has problems controlling his vices. I just hope the girl's baby is ok.
Jon will probably go away for a year and attempt to get himself right, and when he comes back, he'll fight a top 5 before getting a shot to get the belt back.
