As we (finally) come to the end of 2020, it makes sense to post this. First of all, I want to thank everyone who has roleplayed here over the last year, sent in segs, helped come up with angles, wrote matches, etc. Seriously, thank you. It's been a lot of fun. I'd like to give special thanks to The Anarchist for his work as AWO over the last few years. There's no way I could have done this without him. He will be moving on in 2021, as he has some exciting life changes coming up (ask him if you want to know), but he is always welcome to stick around and hang out. Now, as you likely know, our active roster is incredibly small. Looking at the roster right now, we have about seven active competitors. Many, many people are inactive or have simply disappeared. I get it. This has been a very challenging year for many and real life always comes first. However, it's incredibly tough to book shows with only seven possible options. What is even more difficult is getting motivated to write shows when some of the very small roster doesn't roleplay. As I said, I understand completely, but it still makes things tough. This has been happening for a while, but I told myself that I wanted to at least make it to the 10th anniversary of Trauma, which is the next show on our schedule. We will make it to that show and hopefully it will be a great show. In the new year, I'm going to open it up and let people work on setting up their own matches for the show (rather than booking things myself) since it's a special event. I hope it's great. Going forward past that show? I'm really not sure. I want to keep PCW going and I know many of those who are left want that as well. But we'll have to see. No decisions have been made yet. I just thought it was important to get this all out there. If anyone has any guidance or advice or ideas, please share them. Maybe we can come up with a great plan together. I hope you're having a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season. Talk to you soon, Rick |

Given the current state of the federation (which you discussed), and the state of the world (which we've all experienced), I was wondering if something like this would be posted over the holiday break. I don't think anyone will be shocked reading this. At least, they shouldn't be.
So...going forward, I will 100% support your decision regarding the future of the PCW, whatever that decision might be. I will understand whatever it ends up being. And if the 10th Anniversary Show ends up being the finale, I'm sure those of us who are still active (and maybe others who check in on occasion?) will post our thanks and whatnot.
(Spoiler Alert: I have already been working on my RP for Mass Destruction, so I will post that somewhere whether it takes place or not.)

Does anyone know of any other e-feds still active having similar issues? If so, perhaps a merger could be an option? I remember back in the day there being a bunch of e-fed directory type sites for people looking but I doubt they are still active.

I think one of the biggest issues we have is we have too much for too few people. With only 7 people, 3 belts are way too much. I say this as one of the belt holders, but I think we should unify them and if our roster grows we can always see about expanding the belt count again.

I'll *try* to keep this short.
Thank you everyone!
Kidding.
Um, yeah. Rick covered everything regarding me stepping down as AWO. I want to thank him first. I truly enjoyed the hell out of working together with you, both in writing/brainstorming shows etc and then as partners/rivals with our characters. That is one of my biggest highlights of my entire time in efedding. Absolutely had the time of my life. Thank you for all that you do and have done. I couldn't have done it alone.
AWO. I loved writing matches for you guys. I hope that you enjoyed reading them, not just the ones I did, but also the ones Rick did and Bryan (Kyle Shane) did as well when he was helping. I loved my time in the role and hopefully I made things fun for everyone where I could.
I love PCW. I always have and I always will. I am forever thankful and grateful for my time here and that I could share my stories with all of you over the years. I spent my entire "career" as a heel and was blessed to have some amazing feuds over my 22 years. I also got to face my dream opponent (Grimm) which meant I got to work with Nate, who hands down is one of the absolute best handlers I have ever encountered in any fed I've been in.
I won't name names because surely I'll forget someone, but thank you to everyone I have ever worked with. Even that lousy POS real life friend of mine, my longtime tag partner and the guy who brought me into this game, Johnny "Loco" Marquez. I'd call him my friend, but he's family. Always has been. Always will be.
Before I stop...we did it, Justin! I am so thankful and proud of the fact that we finally got the feud we wanted and that you were my final match as The Anarchist. A very fitting conclusion. We go waaaay back, so to finally have that and to still be doing this long enough to achieve it, is quite the honor.
Guys, whether it was as The Anarchist, Seromine or the childlike mommy's boy, I had an enormously fun time with my character. Thank you all so much for being part of my journey. I'm not going anywhere, but the end has definitely come. Minus any random RPs I feel like writing for fun.
Take care and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Or the 3 champs face off to unify the belts?

I was thinking along the lines of something like that. Toss in those who have guaranteed title shots as well. And because that's like five out of seven, toss in the other two as well. The winner is the PCW Universal Champion.

Galactic Champion? Either way, this sounds swell.

We could start a tournament on the tenth anniversary show that would end at Mass Destruction with the winner becoming the Undisputed World Champion. But that would change the plans of Grimm getting his title shot then.

Stormm
Loki
Rick Majors
Grimm
Gerard Angelo
Holden Ross
Texas Tim
Razor Blade
That's enough for a tournament. Not only would it result in us having one champion, but it would also book the next few cards with relative ease.

For example, we'd give the champions the top three seeds in the tournament. Stormm (World Champion) is the number one seed, Loki (North American Champion) is number two, Majors (Genesis) is number three. Grimm (Deadly Rumble winner) and Angelo (Icemann Invitational winner) have title shots coming to them, so they'd be seeds four and five. Holden Ross, Texas Tim, and Razor Blade would be seeds six, seven, and eight. That gives us:  So we could book: January 15th Trauma [10th Anniversary]:Stormm vs Blade
Grimm vs Angelo
Loki vs Tim
Majors vs RossJanuary 29th Trauma:Stormm/Blade vs Grimm/Angelo
Loki/Tim vs Majors/RossFebruary 12th Trauma [Love Hurts]:The six guys who aren't in the final match tag up randomly in a 2 vs 2 vs 2 match with the winning team facing one another at Mass Destruction to name a new number one contender. (Grimm and Angelo would retain their title shot opportunities as well. We'd just have to change the timeline a bit).February 28th: Mass Destruction:PCW Undisputed Championship: Stormm/Blade/Angelo/Grimm vs Loki/Tim/Majors/Ross
"Love Hurts" partners against one anotherThis is just an idea I'm thinking of. We'd all have to agree before anything becomes official. The tournament wouldn't strip anyone of their titles. They'd officially be listed as holding their title until Mass Destruction when the new championship was born. |
