MICHAEL MACHINA APPRECIATION THREAD

[Milli Banks]

@Michael Machina My shirt is still off for Michael Machina.

I don't even know what to say, bro. Like, you fucking earned this and everything, but oh my fucking God. I really don't think any of my words can perfectly encapsulate how monumental and deserving this is. You know I've been your day one since you joined with Michael. I tell you all the time. So to see you have this moment which, lets keep it a buck was always gonna be inevitable one way or another... I'm just so deeply proud of you, Seb. You're a brilliant writer, a brilliant creative, a brilliant member and an even better friend. I love you so much, and I KNOW you are going to kill it with this reign.

Also, look out our NY babies. First they won their Iron Survivor matches, and now, they're entering 2025 as world champions. Shine on, you crazy diamond. <3

@Michael Machina Man, I’m not even surprised — since day one, the moment Machina was dominating the 24/7 Battle Royal to then holding the New Breed Championship and rising it’s stocks. There is nobody out of our patch of New Breeds that I expected to become World Champion first then you, it’s the combination of talent, commitment, love, and a whole lotta other traits that takes someone so far so fast. I am just glad that I was able to witness it and able to call you a friend! Have an amazing reign, but that just goes without saying.

@Jake Smith Fuck you. A lot of what I said can also be applied to you, you have given a lot for this place and your passion for it is matched by very few. The fact that you were not only able to hold that Championship but play such a great heel, in a sea of…very deplorable heels and play the role that you did in that match and just in general. Can’t be understated and may not be replicated. I am excited to see what the future holds cause I’m sure it will be entertaining.

My fucking goat, congrats. Like I said, I feel bad that I wasn’t able to stay up and watch this, especially because of how exhausted I was. My body felt completely drained, and I almost felt sick but I definitely wanted to stay up to watch the Voltage Extreme Elimination Chamber, and I promise I’ll read the show back soon to catch up on what I missed. This is another well-deserved accomplishment, and I’m so happy for you, man. As I’ve said countless times, and you already know this without me having to say it, your writing ability is truly deserving of everything good that comes your way. I’ve known you for a long time, and when I first discovered EAW, I thought you could absolutely kill it and become an integral part of this game. And here you are now, EAW World Champion. Honestly, man, this is incredible to see. I don’t even know what words to use to fully describe this, it’s just overwhelming in the best way. And I’m not being overdramatic either; like everyone else, we all admire the work you put in, and you absolutely deserve this valuable prize.

Sometimes some people come along and seem like future World Champions from their first day, and more often than not that ends up in disappointment, but this isn't the case for you @Michael Machina. This has felt like the inevitable ever since you walked through the door and to see you realize your potential this quickly just makes me so happy. I told you privately already but I seriously love your writing so much both as Daniella and as Michael and once I got the opportunity to actually face you I realized you were even better at this than I originally thought, which is a testament to your talents as a storyteller and writer. Congratulations brother, enjoy what's in my opinion the most special moment an efedder could have, the first World Championship victory.

@Jake Smith I love the way you bork bork

 

[TLA]

[Michael Machina]

All of the love is appreciated so much, this has been such an incredible moment for me and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. This means a lot more to me than anybody might ever know, been adamant about working hard & I know there’s just so much more that’s on the horizon. I’m so grateful for everything I’m able to do here, I have nothing but love for all of this & wouldn’t trade it for a thing. @Jake Smith Thank you so much for pushing me & being the guide back to this community that I needed, it’s well known that I wouldn’t be here without you & to see how this has all evolved into this moment is so full circle for me. Your reign was such a stellar chapter in the career of Jake Smith, endlessly grateful for you and I’m so proud of everything you’ve been able to do for this community within the work & beyond.

 

[Limmy Monaghan]

@Michael Machina genuinely insane accolade. You came in here and wrecked house, and there's no denying it. Within a year and a half you have solidified yourself among the top of EAW and I don't think anyone was ever surprised. From your match writing to your promos, you've earned every single opportunity you've ever had and you never took them for granted. Immaculate

@Jake Smith my goat bro. I think you are one of the only people to have pulled off the character that you have. Your ability to balance creativity, humour while also standing strong on your own is something not many people have, and you have easily had one of the most unique and memorable reigns in EAW history. I said it once before but you deserve 10x more flowers than you receive. All timer status, no doubt

 

[Raven Roberts]

@Michael Machina absolutely fucking deserved. Phenomenal writer in all aspects and love the Machina character. There’s so much I could say but only one thing feels appropriate:

 

[Ashlynn Quinn]

@Michael Machina what an amazing accolade to have man but we all knew it was inevitable since your debut when you went on to kill it and continued to do so while improving to great levels! congratulations man love ya brotha!

@Jake Smith God’s Greatest Soldier was dethroned?!? NOOOOO!!!! What a great champion with such a great character that will continue to shine after road to redemption

 

[Rex32]

@Michael Machina I don't think I'm alone when admitting this, but from the start I could see you were someone who was going to have a big part in the future of this place. From that remarkable undefeated streak Michael had in singles to the great run you had as the New Breed Champion. This was the obvious next step. Definitely tuning into Voltage to see what's next for you. Congratulations! Great work.!

@Jake Smith man you are the man. The way you can go from transitioning your character between face and heel is outstanding. The work you do behind the scenes extends back 3-4 years now. Being able to take on so many responsibilities while being able to handle a full schedule is crazy to me, but you do it and you do great at it. Nice reign as the EAW World Champion! Can't wait to see what direction Jake goes in next.

 

[Cody Maverick]

@Michael Machina It was absolutely a given that you'd be in this position one day & literally just a matter of when. Considering you have the perfect combination of simply being a great writer from the getgo and working hard every chance you get, you truly do deserve this moment and I'm happy to see you and your character on top. Always been a good person as well, very cool to talk to you and helpful. I'm very happy for you, because you earned this without a doubt.

@Jake Smith About time.

Jokes aside, I wasn't here for your first world title reign, so seeing your journey to PFP after winning Grand Rampage was very cool for me. You pull off cowardly heel in such a unique way that it's genuinely grating to see. Like others have said, it'll always be impressive to me that you're killing it as a world champion while juggling all of these responsibilities. It was a great two reigns, though. You can stay gone for good, brother.

 

[Donovan Duke]

@Michael Machina So much talent in terms of promoting and match writing and that leaves no doubt to anybody's mind about how you rose through the ranks as quickly as you have. Your attention to detail and character portrayal is amazing and something to be respected. We haven't spoke much but I wish you nothing but the best. Congratulations. You've earned this and there is no doubt that you will shine as World Champion.

@Jake Smith You already know what I think about you. I love you, my brother. I think so highly of you and everything you do. You once again shined with this reign as World Champion and this is not the end. It's going to be fun to see where Jake goes next. Congrats on another great reign as Champion, my friend.

 

[Drake King]

@Michael Machina Extremely well deserved. You've been doing such a good job ever since you joined and have proven to be such a talented writer in every way. Everything you handle whether it's your characters or your matches has been fantastic. This was something that was always gonna happen eventually, and I think the fact that it happened now makes an even bigger statement towards how great you really are at this. You absolutely deserve this and this is a Championship reign I am really looking forward to. Congratulations!

@Jake Smith Amazing title reign. There's not many people who can go all in on their work as a heel the way you do, so it is always fun getting the chances to see Championship reigns like this that are so unique in their title defenses and stories. This was so fun to witness and your work throughout all of it has been great. You definitely deserved this second reign, and I'm glad you got to have this.

 

[Drake King]

@Michael Machina GOAT, what an amazing achievement. I already said it but I genuinely couldn't tell you the last time we've seen a turnaround this quickly, and I think it's only fitting that it's accomplish by a writer as talented as you. One thing you excel at is just having an amazing understanding of both efedding and your own characters. Nobody can write Michael Machina exactly like you do, and the way you've created a character that feels almost unstoppable both physically and mentally in a place where this kind of character is rare is very impressive. I'm so glad to see Machina continue to achieve stuff like this. Congratulations, this was so well deserved!

@Cy Amazing Championship reign. Cy's entire heel run has been awesome and another testament to how good of a writer you are after being able to just flip a switch once the alignment changed, and you've done a fantastic job with this run as Champion. It was always a deserved one and there was no doubting that it'd be a good reign from the moment you won it, and that's exactly what we got. I'm glad that you were able to have such good performances all throughout, and I am looking forward to seeing what's next for Cy.

 

[Donovan Duke]

@Michael Machina When I say this, I mean this with all the love and respect in the world. How in the world are you so good? It's like instant chemistry or something. Your promos are amazing. Your matches are superb. You put the pedal to the metal and you have not stop since. Now you are back at the top of the mountain as World Champion again. Your first reign was so good so I have no doubt in my mind that the second reign will be even better. Congratulations! You've earned it.

@Cy I was glad I got to enjoy a Cy World Title reign firsthand. Your reign was great from start to finish. You are so good at what you do and it will be great to see where Cy goes from here. Congrats to you on a good run!

 

[Kai Rabeaux]

@Michael Machina DEMON BACK! In all seriousness, I’ve been reading your work for a strong five+ years at this point so, I’ve had a lot of time to not only see you at your best, but to also see you consistently grow over the years and seeing your recent work with Machina has been a delight. Nobody deserves this more than you, and I’m ecstatic to be able to congratulate you on another world title win GOAT.

@Cy Fantastic world title reign, one that I’ve been loving since the Grand Rampage all the way till now without a single dip in quality. Can’t wait to see where Cy goes from here.

 

[Drake Armstrong]

@Michael Machina MACHINE is a true monster, getting two world championships within a 365 day period is absolutely insane and couldn't have happened to a nicer person, I'm very happy for you and hope that your reign with the big gold is as awesome and prosperous as your previous reign! Congratulations on the achievement!

@Cy Still probably my favorite career feud thus far, getting to see your heel turn, teaming with you at Brand Warfare, and then your entire World Heavyweight Championship reign has been truly marvelous to behold. I'm super glad I got to see one of your title reigns happening live and I would most definitely want to see another one down the line! I'm excited to see how your character evolves from this, especially since you've always been great at deeper and more introspective promos.

 

[TLA]

@Michael Machina goat shit homie it's clear that EAW be strapping that rocket to yo ass as long as y'all want it so I hope u enjoy the ride!

@Cy had a real fine ass title reign y'all be showing WWE's booking team how it is done with that heel turn frfr

 

[Rex32]

@Michael Machina congratulations on the huge win, man. So well deserved for a character whose evolution seems endless. Can't wait to see what Michael does next!

@Cy a nice long healthy reign that's definitely put CY back on the point of being a once in a generation talent that showed the character can flourish in this day. Congratulations on a good run, sir. You did that title justice .
