Quick random ramblings b4 work.....

I thought night 1 of WM was better.   Still don't like Belair.

Little bit heartbroken about the IIconics release, but hopefully they land somewhere and get used to their full protentional.

I'm thinking I will never understand why they signed and never used and now released Chelsea Green.  Kinda how they are doing the same thing with Santana Garret.  The 2 biggest names on the indies and, you do nothing with them.

Why did they cut Joe?  I thought he was great on commentary.  Granted, he should have been in the ring but....

About time BO Dallas got cut loose.   Talk about not giving a guy a chance.  Just let that guy shine like you did with him in his NXT days.

I wrote this roleplay, but to be fair, it's not a rp, not sure what to call it.   I just started writing cuz it was on my mind.   Where everyone shows up at James Kelloggs wake, and they start arguing over the Whirlwind title and it's going to lead to this big blow off match for the belt.  (To be honest, I don't want to write the actual match....) I have this broken down into parts.  Part 1 is everyone showing up, outside of the funeral home.  Then part 2 is everyone seeing everyone for the first time in months/a year.  Then just keep it moving from there, it's a multi part deal that is bouncing around in my head.   I have like 90% of part 1 written.  I wrote it like 2 months ago.   But fuck me if I can't find the time to finish it and start working on the second part.   Plus, I am finding that it's taking more time to sit down and write cuz I'm constantly going back and adding, tweaking, re reading it like 25-35 times.  I can't stop myself, but at the same time, I'm getting pissed at myself for doing it.  I keep saying in my head, Just fucking write stupid, get it out!   Proof read it later.
But I can't.
I'm an idiot.

I miss this place, but I don't miss writing entire shows. I don't miss handling half the roster, developing their personalities, and then jobbing them to the couple of handlers because I have no need or desire to put myself over in my own fed. I don't miss having that small of a roster, nor an inability to promote because of my background being trashed on social media. That all combined to make this game not fun for me, despite how much I like the Whirlwind universe I set up here. I wish I could have had a better send off for this place, but then in the end, would it have really mattered? I still am not burned out of writing matches, but only the occasional match, not the "chain drink Irish coffees and write the show during your weekend" type. Not that those weren't fun weekends, haha.

I hate that I had this great angle to finally get the strap onto Pendragon, keep the Jacob character as the heat magnet of the fed, elevate the Pretty Committee/Upper Class, and turn Bester into a literal superhero (not that he wasn't already one), and none of that would come to fruition. Alas, I said before that my efed career would end with Whirlwind and I guess, at least I kept that word to end with Whirlwind. Just sucks that it went out with a whimper. 2006 to 2021 is a helluva run with a lot of ups, downs, moments, titles, highlights and everything in between. A lot of cool people met and some that I'd still consider friends to-date.

In the end, I was a card-carrying Vince Russo Guy™ with a lot of ideas and hype and sold people on a project numerous times, only to fall short of the tremendous hype right at first and goal. You guys, everyone that showed up here and put in the work, you all deserved better than I tried to provide. Especially the ones I haven't played efed with before like the Sam Tolsons, the guys I tried to lure out of retirement like the Leon Tyrells, the guys I couldn't keep invested like the Bryan Blazes, and even the new people I met off Reddit and other alternative promotion channels that I never got the chance to fully integrate into the fed. I'm sorry for failing you all.
