CONGRATS TO THE NEW WHC.... DRAKE KING :blessed:

[Kassidy Heart]

Dear Drake,

I don’t know where to start this, to be honest. First of all, congratulations .

So there’s that. Secondly, wow. You have been my right-hand on Voltage since the very beginning. To know where you started in EAW as a promoer and match writer, to see you where you are now is absolutely amazing. You went from literally 400 word promos to the stuff you do now, and it’s really a testament to how good you are. As a writer, you continue to grow by leaps and bounds. Your matches are among the best in this best. As a segment writer, I remember when you wrote your first segment for Captain Charisma. We had to make it longer and add more detail, and really it wasn’t that long ago. Now this past promo cycle you wrote everything for Terry and Andrea, including the amazing match the fed got to see tonight. I could not be more proud and I mean that from the bottom of my cold little heart.

You are such a good kid and I hope you never lose that. Keep your morals and your innocence. Keep writing and enjoying yourself, and taking everything in stride.

And really, enjoy this championship reign because you have EARNED it in every sense of the word. You are dedicated, hard working, and have an incredible grasp on your character. You always show up and show out, and constantly do way more that is asked of you. You are a little goat, an even better person, and someone I am so happy to work with. Congratulations once again. Body this title reign.

Ily.

Ok I'm just gonna start off saying I did not expect this at all. I've been having fun since I started here, but honestly when Pehrox first introduced me to all this I never thought I'd make it far. A month from tomorrow will make it a year since I won the Interwire Championship and I'm sure most of you, if not all of you knew how surprised I was at that happening. I did not ever expect to go from that to the World Heavyweight title in only a single year, and I didn't think I'd have that opportunity going against someone I love facing as much as @TLA, the person I probably have the most history with in EAW by now. I obviously don't know how my future with this title will be, but I know I'll enjoy it no matter how it goes. Thank you everyone, can't wait to see what's next.

 

[Terry Chambers]

Words can't explain how happy I am for you dude. Kass pretty much said it all, I remember when you first started and were saw as a guy who wouldn't last maybe more than a month or two. You are literally the prime example of evolution of a character and trusting the process. Your character is very entertaining stuff, the matches you write are top notch also. To top it, an amazing person to talk to. I know you're gonna smash it in this reign. Have fun with it and enjoy it!

Also, great job to @TLA, you winning the title will always be one of my favorite moments. Despite your career being as long as it has, I still think that's only the beginning for you. You're just destined to have a longer one. Ily

 

[Lars Grier]

Congratulations bro. I may not have been there to see your entire run's progression but since the moment I've come back I have recognized your exceptional match, segment, and promo writing and how much you have contributed to this community without any qualms or peeves about it. You are excellent, not just as a writer but as a member of EAW in general and it goes to show that you have earned every ounce of this championship reign, and this reign. Here's to a long, dedicated, awesome, beautiful, well-deserved. . . . .

. . . ok reign. Thanks for being the better me.

Pain, stride, determination

That's all that Drake King has been going through, he's been through pain, but he's managed to stride forward with boosted determination like no other. Drake will forever be immortalized and this is just a backing point for that, the struggle, the effort, everything that you've consistently I must ask which is a hard task to accomplish, done has given even more reason as to show why you deserve this title and the morals that it stands for. One moment that truly stuck out to me was Under Siege, when the Round Table first formed and we were on top of the World, and when I did a abrupt coronation for you by placing the title around your waist like you deserved it, which of course you did, more than anyone at that point. Then onto Egypt when I won the PURE Championship, I do not mean to take the spotlight from you I just want to link two and two together just for a moment, when you did the same for me. Now we move onto King of Elite, the present moment when you held the title up, when the dust cleared and you came out on top, by yourself. It goes away from the norm people held from you about how you always needed to use cheats to win, and I know that truly did disgust you, it just warms my heart

And if we're not going to focus on that let's dig a bit deeper. I've known you for a gosh darn long time haven't I? And through that time we bonded, grown a deep friendship and hurt our characters feelings in the process. In the end if I'll be completely honest, without Drake King there would be no Jake Smith. It would just be a occurrence of me just pussying out, which in fact is pretty common. But without Drake and what he's shown, the grit, the passion, the insecurities I used to have were freaking drowned out in a moment.

And you know the moments where I try to make sure Jake Smith one ups Drake King in some way, I know deep inside me that's impossible. Because at the end of the day there will never be another Drake King, he's irreplaceable. He's a kind soul and someone in and out of this e-fed who's been with me every step of the way. And for that I'd love to thank you, but I'm sure it's enough of a thanks with you holding the World Title that you truly craved for so long, and just like Under Siege, you deserved it. From the ring and back, to the writing room and to the chat, Drake King will forever be, well King.

[Ms. Extreme]

Congrats, @Drake King!

I remember when you were some noob responding "OK."

Honestly, it's amazing to see your growth within the past year. You are someone who's constantly improved, always had a fantastic attitude and never let setbacks get the best of him. You're a fantastic match writer, promoer and you've really come to your own. Drake is one of my favorite characters. Continue to be you.

Amazing reign, @TLA. You're a real one. Your story to get to the title is fucking amazing and it's going to be one thing I remember years from now. Keep your head up.

 

[TLA]

Yo congrats mayne! U did it papi and I meant what I said on chat u deserving af. I knew u was gonna be the future of this company and that future is now so I hope u will make the most of this opportunity. You always been a real homie since day one and one of the chillest people I've met in efeds and had the opportunity to work with. I most definitely respect the hustle you put in here match writing, promoing, and just chillin' with everyone on chat. It's rare when a day goes by that I ain't see you around here and if that ain't dedication and ability to carry this place then I don't know what is.

I'm glad that I've gotten to work with u thru all the stages of ur career at different points and it's badass to see how far u have come. You got a great attitude a lot of people could look up to around here. You been a positive influence on my life not gonna front. I got no problem taking the L to someone like u and honestly if it didn't happen sooner or later I prolly woulda been calling out the haters in the board for keepin' mah ese down.

I enjoyed my title reign and I'm glad that I finally got the chance to show what I can do as champion. Hopefully I made all y'all who believed in me mad proud.

Congratulations @Drake King

 

[Jamie O'Hara]

Holy fucking shit dude. Congratulations! The way you've improved over the last year, coming so far and evolving your promos and the character so well, so quickly, shits amazing to see. Such a wonderful member of the EAW community and this is incredibly well deserved.

 

[Charlie Marr]

Oh shit this is amazing, congratulations bro. Completely deserved, you're one of the hardest working dudes here and you have completely earned this. Well done my man

 

[Rex32]

@Drake King I knew great things were just around the corner for you just from getting a close up glimpse of your work back in October promoing for Battle of Egypt. Your writing has improved by leaps and bounds since first started, and just know it can only get better the longer you go. There may be more expectations now, but with a willing learner like you I know you're going to continue to rise and meet those expectations and exceed them because judging by how you handle yourself with everything that comes your way there's nothing I can't see you accomplishing. Continue to make your mark! Congrats man! Well deserved! May your reign be a prosperous one!

@TLA man it was a long time coming for you. I know you enjoyed the ride and we for sure enjoyed seeing you in perfect form handling your business and making the most of each offering to you. Keep on shooting higher. Losing wasn't an end, it's the beginning of a new chapter and I can't wait to see what you do from here. Well done sir!

 

[Dr. Bethany Blue]

Congrats @Drake King, you deserve it my brother, always consistent and in the thick of things, I am happy for you and I hope you have a long and epic title reign. TLA was a great champion, hard shoes to fill but I know if anyone can do it?

It's YOU.

 

[Ryan Joseph Wilson]

Long live the King!
Well earned and deserved like many said before me I simply do nothing else but to agree with that.
Solid promos, solid character and a solid reign I'm sure of it.

I love our interactions on Social Media its entertaining and I wish you best of luck with your title.
Keep up the good work friend, and enjoy this!

 

[Darcy May Morgan]

Ah Drake - i’m so happy for you!!

This is so well deserved. I’ve said it before but you have always been so much fun to promo against and your work has always been at sucha high standard! Enjoy the reign and I can’t wait to see what is going to happen next.

 

[The Woogieman]

Well Deserved. With The Hard Work is Done. Keep Enjoying this Moment.

 

[Chef Viz]

Long time coming. More then deserving. Hopefully you have a long and memorable reign because you are the most improved person I’ve seen since joining. You, Pehrox, and Jake have come a long way and all three will be important to EAW as long as they desire it. But it’s not about nobody else but you, man. So talented and hilarious even when you aren’t trying. To do what you do without cursing is phenomenal. Can’t short change you and I enjoy reading what you have coming from now onward. Good luck Drizzy.

 

[Methuselah]

Late but hats off to you Drake, it’s been astonishing watching your evolution and becoming world champion was an inevitability. Fly high young king. Hats off to TLA as well for grinding to a well deserved reign, which I’m sure won’t be your last.
