What is your fondest memory of me from the old days?

What is your fondest memory of me from the new days?

What is your fondest memory of me periodt?

When did I introduce you to rap music?

What is your favorite PFP? Outside of P4P :mjgrin:

You've gotten the chance to view EAW from the outside looking in and the inside looking out several times, how would you assess where we currently are?

Do you have any favorite current elitists if you follow promos at all?

Why is Kanye running a cult?

What would you say is your biggest contribution to EAW ever?

What are some things you'd credit yourself for that you don't think people realize is your doing?

Do you have an all time favorite opponent?

Are you actually a fan of Brock Lesnar?

Has Brock Lesnar's part time schedule inspired your e-fed incompetence in any way?

What is your favorite match or script that you've written?

Why were my Dynastys in 2012 better than yours?

Can u pm me those songs? :mjgrin:

I don't really have any lol. I've said this before but prior to your 2012 retirement, I definitely looked at you as more of a boss than a friend. I remember when you promoted me to Dynasty writer because you loved a segment that I wrote on Turbo, that was pretty cool. It might just be that you trusted me, along with that other dude to carry on the legacy of what you created. LOL :ufdup:I have a few un-fond memories of you from that time.

What is your fondest memory of me from the new days?

How closely we've worked together since 2017. When you returned you reached out to me to return, and I had absolutely zero interest in doing so, yet I did... and even though I'm now retired, it was still my longest run since 2014-15 and I haven't completely disappeared... yet. And then in the Fall of that year you PM'd me saying, "Stark is fucking up NEO, let's take it from him". Then that turned into, "All of these guys are fucking up EAW, let's make our own fed". Then that turned into, "Nah, these guys are REALLY fucking up EAW, we gotta merge, take it back and get them outta here". As tumultuous as those times were, they got me invested in e-feds again for the first time in YEARS. I was still a procrastinator, lazy and incompetent, but at least I felt bad about being those things because I actually cared about EAW again.

What is your fondest memory of me periodt?

What I just said. Elite Revolt 4 Life b.

When did I introduce you to rap music?

omg stop

What is your favorite PFP? Outside of P4P:mjgrin:

6 or 11. Coincidentally I headlined both, but that's not the reason. I felt that there was a lot to prove with both shows. Although to a much lesser degree, EAW was in the midst of a lot of drama behind the scenes and was undergoing some changes heading into 6. Demon had stepped down as Chairman about a month before, and it was like my first big thing as Chairman and I was so determined to deliver. Then Demon outright quit everything 3 days before the show (which he was main eventing btw) and went on this long rant against us. It left us kinda scrambling in the final days, but ultimately we turned in something I was beyond proud of.

A lot of that drama could've been avoided if you had just agreed to come out of retirement to face me but NOOOO YOU WERE TOO GOOD FOR E-FEDS, NOW LOOK AT YOU!!

And yeah, I feel like I don't have to really explain the situation last year, most know at least part of it.

You've gotten the chance to view EAW from the outside looking in and the inside looking out several times, how would you assess where we currently are?

Do you have any favorite current elitists if you follow promos at all?

I'm grouping these two questions together because I wanted to talk about all of it in the Grand Rampage reaction thread but never got around to it cuz... well I'm me. EAW right now is in such an incredible place. It took 11-12 years but I think it's finally running at its full capability. DD has been the best board addition since TRE was made VP in 2012. There's no drama, there are no egos, at least where it matters. Even overall though, I used to dread the week after the Grand Rampage because there would be salty bozos everywhere. Some would quit, some would cause unnecessary drama until they were fired and some would just bring the overall morale of the fed down. There doesn't seem to be any of that this year and if there was it was quickly resolved. There were times in the past where people actually made the winner feel bad for winning, that should never happen and I'm very glad that didn't happen this year, in either Rampage.

The promoing is on another level. I'm in awe of the quality of writing we have now. It's why I think the promo assistance thread isn't really needed. For the overwhelming majority of the people who post in there, the best advice that can be given is to just keep at it. They're already there, they're already good... all they need is fine tuning, and you can't teach that... you just pick it up naturally as you gain more experience. The promoing for the Rampage was out of this world. All the praise has already been given to them but Jamie and Rex completely shattered the bar and set a new benchmark for promoing. That might also be a contributing factor in why the salt level was down this year, but I'd rather believe that it's because you're all wonderful people.

Also a special shoutout to Kass, Remi, Raven, DD and Cam. You're all doing a great job. The quality of match/script writing has been good in EAW for quite some time now, but with all the turnover that's happened in the past year, the way you were all able to step into your positions without skipping a beat is very impressive and commendable. It's something that couldn't happen even two years ago.

I'm not really sure... I think I helped people with their writing. Overall that's a pretty big contribution. But that goes into the next question...

What are some things you'd credit yourself for that you don't think people realize is your doing?

I still say that if I wasn't Chairman at the time that I was Chairman, EAW wouldn't have evolved the way it did. TRE does and should get most of the credit for moving EAW off webs but he of course needed the Chairman on board in order to do that. Robbie didn't wanna move, Demon didn't wanna move although he ultimately was in charge when we moved to forumotion, DDD while probably open to the idea wouldn't have been the collaborator that I was with TRE.

So really what I'm trying to say is, without me EAW would've died 5 years ago. Sooo you're all welcome.

Do you have an all time favorite opponent?

In-script beating up Cam was quite fun. But if you're talking promo wise, I don't cuz fuck promoing.

Are you actually a fan of Brock Lesnar?

Yeah, I've grown a bit tired of him recently though.

Has Brock Lesnar's part time schedule inspired your e-fed incompetence in any way?

100%

What is your favorite match or script that you've written?

DDD vs. LC from PFP 5 is up there because it won MOTY, suck it Demon. The match itself pales in comparison to others I've written tho. Me/Darkane is probably the best match I've ever written. I also had a lot of fun writing the EEC for the AWC from RTR 2012 and even this year's Grand Rampage. It's awesome to see the reception that match got, although I obviously can't take full credit, Rex did a phenomenal job with the first half.

As far as scripts go, probably Reckless Wiring 2012. There's nothing extraordinary about it, but it was the first time I had written an exclusive FPV and I wrote every single word of it by myself, I was proud of it.

Why were my Dynastys in 2012 better than yours?

Idk b. You're the one who hired a writer with barely any experience.

Yo why the fuck is everyone digging up AMAs like holy shit I'm only doing this because I feel compelled but wha-

Hey Scotty 2 Thotty. Been a minute.

What was writing Dynasty like? Such a red, angry, scary brand, like Soviet Russia.

So you always reference it, what did happen in your first 6 months? Hookers and Cocaine, or Hookers on Cocaine?

Shaemus or Brock Lesnar for your PB?

In retrospect what do you think of Revolt (the littest brand ever), If the merge never happened and we went onto Revolt 3 and onwards, what headliners/events could you see happening?

why the fuck's half your AMA just you and Banks? fuckin get a room and fuck already

Hey remember when the fuckin layout of the site got deleted? Reread the screenshot thread, shit had me dying.

Give your thoughts on the entire concept of efeds, any pros, cons, I guess what made you want to actively look for something like this, if you even looked, etc.

Yo for real what kinda anabolics you been using to look so chiseled after that long ass career? Fuckin Vitrtor Belfort.

Favorite Emote from the chat?

Favorite moment during live shows?

How long until we run out of ideas and someone pulls a gun on another person during an FPV?

How does it feel knowing that I have your HoF ring and you will never get it back?

Did you think if you teamed with me long enough, I would give you back your ring?

Why do you like beating me up so much? It's kinda rude.

If you're doing the Brock Lesnar type of schedule, should this be the time we should expect you to show up somewhere? :eyes:

Excellent job with the Grand Rampage Match, since you wrote the second part of the match, did you find it difficult to mesh with Rex's writing and make it seem like one whole GR instead of two different halves?

I loved writing Dynasty from 2011-2013 but something happened after that. I just lost the passion and never really regained it. Writing Dynasty last year for the few months that I did was okay, because of everything that happened I was motivated, and that was enough to temporarily cover up the lack of passion but soon after Pain For Pride I realized that I didn't have it anymore.

So you always reference it, what did happen in your first 6 months? Hookers and Cocaine, or Hookers on Cocaine?

Lmao I was just very inconsistent. Back then EAW had a show called Turbo and the concept of the show was... if you win three matches you get a contract match for a brand and if you win that, you're on the brand. It took me four months to achieve that. My early early promos would get made fun of, I remember specifically one instance where Banks laughed at a promo I posted (8 months later I was keeping his fed afloat by writing two shows at the same time... but I digress.) DDD yelled at me because I wanted to switch pic bases... it was just an awful time all around.

Shaemus or Brock Lesnar for your PB?

Lesnar.

In retrospect what do you think of Revolt (the littest brand ever), If the merge never happened and we went onto Revolt 3 and onwards, what headliners/events could you see happening?

REVOLT honestly seems like it was a lifetime ago even though it was just last year. We were actually going to do a full re-brand if the merge never happened. We were going to get rid of the REVOLT (number) shows in-favor of a more traditional FPV model. The weight classes were gonna go, new titles were gonna be brought in. The rosters would've been separated into two unique brands. We actually got pretty far along with the process, and on-screen we were gonna start it the week that the merge happened. As I stated before, my memory is fuzzy but I believe Banks has GFX for REVOLT 3 that shows the matches that would've happened to crown our first world champions.

Hey remember when the fuckin layout of the site got deleted? Reread the screenshot thread, shit had me dying.

Classic.

Give your thoughts on the entire concept of efeds, any pros, cons, I guess what made you want to actively look for something like this, if you even looked, etc.

This is such a broad question I wouldn't even know really where to begin. I will say that I don't think I actually ever sought out e-feds or anything like them. I remember one day I stumbled across a site, saw that you could create a character and promo as that character and thought, "Wow that's pretty cool." I'm not even sure if I realized how the rest of it worked but that's how I discovered e-feds. A couple months later I was in a bunch of them on Y!A and the rest is history.

Diamond Cage interrupting P4P right in the middle of it because he needed to talk to Banks. I feel like I'm the only one who finds this funny, let alone remembers that it actually happened. It was his first introduction to EAW, he had never even stepped foot in the chat before and here he is interrupting the biggest show of the year by repeatedly putting "I NEED TO SPEAK TO THE CHAIRMAN" in the chat. I found it hilarious.

How long until we run out of ideas and someone pulls a gun on another person during an FPV?

I believe that happened at the first Pain For Pride, so about eleven years ago.

Cam, I've known you for quite some time now, I know you're a good person deep down. One day you're going to give me that ring back.

That was the plan. (Literally. That's the direction the story was going to go in. Not that you would necessarily give it back to me but we would have a storyline/feud based around the ring, it needed to be dropped though.)

Why do you like beating me up so much? It's kinda rude.

I've been trying to answer this question for a while without sounding creepy, but it's just not gonna happen. You're very, very flexible.

Nope, Rex and I had really good communication throughout the process to make sure that didn't become a problem. It definitely has been in the past though, most notably in 2012. If you go back and read that GR it's so obvious that it was written by three different people. I'm sure you could go back to this Rampage and be able to tell where I took over but I think overall the match flowed very well.

How have you been?

Who on the undercard do you see rising up in a meaningful way after pfp?

Who would you say is true most underrated male character in the fed?

Who is the most underrated female character in the fed?

Have you ever pitched any cool storylines or angles that for one reason or another didn’t make it to air?

Thoughts on how your return to the company has been?

Any dream opponents or anyone who has caught your eye you would like to face from the current spread of Elitists?

- How do you feel about the match we had back then? (cuz it was one of my favorite promo weeks ever)

- What made you think that the Babylon soundtrack would be a better choice for your theme music than 'In the Air Tonight'?

Hi.

Do you like Taylor Swift?

What's your top three Taylor Swift albums?

Top three songs from Midnights.

How does it feel knowing that you're never getting your ring back (I know you answered this, but I need an updated answer)?

Do you still hate cones?
