The Introduction Thread

[Jamie Fury]

I guess I might as well put something up here too about the person who will using this lady. I've been a watcher of this place late last year and wanted to join but I don't get too much into CAW making myself. I just use the ones that Thr33X create himself, otherwise I'm more of a Fire Pro guy myself. Yes I said guy, I'm a dude. Good friend of X's in fact who finally convinced me to try this out in 2008. Outside of XWA I live a fairly busy life, work full time and go to school as well-APEX Technical School. It's a trade school here in New York and I'm working to become a mechanic. This is my first crack at this sort of thing so if I'm a bit boring at first go easy on me. ;D

I think that 3X explained the origin of Jamie Fury already. We were watching the premiere of American Gladiators a few weeks ago and talking about how some of them would make cool wrestlers, most important how Justice could have been one had WWE not been stupid with that last Tough Enough farce. Anyway, that was when we saw Fury and was like "daaaaaang". He was like "alright I'm making a CAW from her" and I was like "if you do then I want to use her in your fed". One thing led to another and here I am.

This is about me. It's sorta short, but it's to the point.

I started roleplaying in efeds back in 2006 in LXW as Ryan. At first I had visions of him being a cocky movie star that didn't know when to shut his trap, much like Johnny Nitro at the time. To this day I keep the loud mouth part, but his movie star gimmick quickly got cut away. Half way through the 06 season I cut the movie star gimmick and moved to a immature, hyper gimmick. I don't know what made me what to do it. I figured it would be fun, and I was right.

After LXW closed down I headed to TNB where Ryan became more serious and aggressive. By aggressive I don't mean in the ring, but on the mic. After I left TNB (about a month before it closed and merged with XWA) I headed to XWA where Ryan would continue with his career. The rest, you've pretty much read and know what's up.

Outside of the efed world I'm minor-niner in highschool. I keep close to my group of friends, because I don't like half of the people at my school. They're either dicks or whores. However, I've made new friends through some of my classes who I consider cool.

I've been making caws since WWE Smackdown Just Bring It. My caws have always been plain. I tend to use leg and arm tattoos instead of designs because I'm scared of straying away from something I know I can do, because I'm like that. To be honest, half of the stuff I create I don't like. The only creations to date I really enjoy are Ryan Blaze, Dalton Sinclair, Jay Williams (he was Jay Wolf but then I realized there was already a Jay Wolf so I changed him out of respect), Devin Tambro, K!D, and Shawn Crossfire. I made a few females on 07 and a bunch on 06, but I haven't yet this year. I don't know why.

Anyways, I like pretty much everything in terms of music. You can put on anything and I'll enjoy it, with the exeption of extremely heavy death metal. I'm the average weight, and probably short for my age, but whatever (I'm like 5'5" and everyone at my school towers me with the exeption of most of the girls). It's a wonder that I'm not heavy because I eat more than anyone would expect of me.

Yeah, it's very basic but I don't like to talk a lot about myself.

Allow me to introduce myself here as well. My name is Stacy. I handle Ms. Leani Li here, as well as Tommy Tryton & Matt Winters. I started role playing in 2005 actually. My brother runs a small sim-based fed called Prime Time Wrestling (PTW, the place mentioned in both my character's histories) which is pretty much where I've role played since I began. Winters, Tryton and Leani have always been my characters, and I'm quite adept to role playing each. In the case of Matt, it's been a MASSIVE undertaking evolving him as a character, as obviously as many have read, he started out a masked wrestler. The fed as mentioned before was small. At it's peak we had 51 members in 2006. A small enclave of guys and girls who love wrestling, video games and sharing there creativity with one another. But sadly, something jumped in the way of our slice of cyberspace growing any further. Real Life. Members began leaving because theyy were going away to college, getting married, having marital issues. You name it. As of 2007, we only have 28 total members left, less then half of what we had at our peak.

About 3 weeks ago, I was bumming around Roughkut.com, looking for something to pass the time. Once in the blue I'll go there to check out if anything new and interesting has come up. And I, like so many came across a link that brought me here. When I first checked this place out, it seemed kind of well, BIG. over 200 members, all kinds of literature. FAR grander in scale then what I had grown accustomed to. In order to get a some questions answered about the place, I needed to join, as I didn't have any other way to contact the staff here. So I joined up and flooded the 1st Admin I saw's PM box with all kinds of questions, that being Gallas AKA Kaoz666. (Of which I've been a fan of his and thr33x work on caws.ws where I'm pretty much a lurker) So much was I impressed by the vibe this place has, that I decided to join up and reinvent my 3 top characters here. And I picked a good time. Seeing as PTW is kind of fizzling out, My brother made an announcement that he's more then likely going to put it to pasture. Such is the case of efeds, you know? They come and go, but the ones that have staying power are the special ones, just like XWA. So just today, I spoke with my brother over MSN and let HIM know of XWA, and the fact that this place is pretty much open to all types of role players of all skill levels. A nice way for those in whom will be "left out of work" from PTW's closing tp transition into a new fed. But enough of me pitching stuff that's just been discussed tonight.

By day, I'm a Hooter's girl. YES, I work for Hooters. (revealing that might come back to haunt me, lol) I just recently started an online study course on Business Management, because I don't wanna be a Hooter's girl still when I'm 30, lol. I grew up in a house with 3 brothers, so I'm a gamer by blood. I've always loved wrestling, and the SVR games. My fave genre of games are Fighting Games, so wrestling games are a given. I'm Chicago born and raised and love my city. Though one day I'd like to visit New York. Other then that I'm just your average 25 year old chick. That's me in a nutshell.

That's my sis.

A lil' about me? Here goes. My name's Mat. I started the efed roleplaying thing back in 2003 with text based feds when I was in college. Just something to pass the time in between classes. Plus there was the fact that like my sis said, we're all wrestling nuts. Since the very nature of efeds is that they come and go like that, I've bounced around from place to place alot. I've been an efed journeymen. Hogan Chase has been the primary guy I used in all of the places I've been, where's he's won all kinds of titles and accolades. Then in 2005, I came across something that peaked my interest. An efed that used video game footage for the actual matches, as opposed to having them roleplayed out, or done via a match generator. It was new (to me anyway) and something I wanted to try myself. By then I'd been roleplaying 2 years, and figured maybe instead of bouncing from fed to fed, I should make my own. So I grabbed up some of the people I'd met over time who owned SD:HTCP and started my own op, Prime Time Wrestling. I'd been making Hogan and my other characters for years on the game, but this would be the 1st time I'd be putting them against other people's caws. The fed was a success. We lasted 3 good years, and had lots of fun during the run we had. But as my sis mentioned, over time we lost steam. People started graduating from school, moving away, you know. Grown up stuff. By September of last year, we were down to our current number of 28. And I myself had now started the "grown up" thing. Working long hours, maintaining a relationship, (Of which she role plays as well) and so on. I'd been toying around with the idea of passing control off to someone else and keeping PTW alive, but there was to much history to let the place remain a shadow of what it once was. So I told some of the other guys that help me out that there was a good chance I'd be shutting things down.

But anyone who's been doing this for as long as I have, roleplaying that is...knows how addictive it is. You can't just quit cold turkey. Even when faced with the typical bullshit that comes from being PART of a fed, much less running it, you eventually find yourself not wanting to stay away from it. And though I felt PTW had run it's course, I still wanted to roleplay my characters in some form or fashion. And I didn't want to leave those that stayed with PTW through it all in the cold either. Then last week, my sis comes to me and tells me about XWA. A spot she'd been eyeing for a few weeks prior. The place was EXCELLENTLY run, had a decent layout where all info was presented in a simple and direct way, and hell, 225 members after only ONE YEARS in existance? They've GOTTA be doing something right. So over the last 3 days, I've been talking with my sis and Kaoz666 about having a place for everyone that remains in PTW to go when I shut it down, and that place is right here in XWA. I know from experience that there may be some people not willing to start over again, as they'll be at the bottom of the barrel here for the most part, but I'm not one of them. Part of what makes me do this is being able to take my guy from nothing and make him a household name. There are a couple people I know in PTW who think the same. It would be awesome if they ALL came over, but I know that's a pipe dream. But regardless, I'm looking forward to carve my place out in the XWA landscape.

In my personal life, I live with my GF, who as I mentioned above also roleplays. We live in a large tenement building owned by my parents. (RENT FREE BABY!!!) I'm the Superintendent of the building, as well as department manager at the local Costco. I do a lilttle graphic design on the side (Think of taking some courses so that I might actually make it a career) All and all, I'm hoping to blend in here have as as much fun as a member as I did running my own.

[Keith Wyle]

I don't know if anyone did this out of character or not but....uh....Welcome ;D

[jasta]

Well said. Welcome aboard. The same goes for Stacy. And whoever else from your fed that comes along in the coming weeks. I know a thing or two about being in feds that come to a close. Of course the one I originally started it didn't come to a clean and peaceful close. It was a bitter, scornful and grandiose MELTDOWN. Since I'm here, I'll say a little something.

The fed I started in was called Syndrome Wrestling Alliance. It started in 2004 with use of SD:HTCP, and it kicked off fast and furious. It had something along the lines of 113 total members at it's end, many of us having been part of it from start to finish. SWA crumbled from within in towards the middle of 2006. It didn't die of cancer, it died of full blown AIDS. Which is sad, because out of all the roleplayer that I knew and interacted with in the 2 years I spent with the fed, only 2 I know of haven't fell off the face of the Earth, Nimz (Adam Devlin/Nigel Sledge) and his brother, who I hear might be making a return to efeds right here in XWA. Bonus if it's true, because they guy comes up with SICK storylines. Anyway, from about August 2006 until I'll say January of last year, I pretty much stopped roleplaying as SWA drained me dry. But there was a guy who kinda found his way into SWA in it's final months that I decided to stay in contact with. He came in pretty much a free agent seeing as the place he was in he left because it was in a steep decline in it's own right. That guy was Kaoz. He didn't have a PC of his own, so he was pretty much just a spectator, but we had many conversations, exchanged war stories and basically built a nice friendship in the time that remained in SWA. Then February of 2007 came, and he popped onto MSN one day saying he FINALLY had his own PC, and had found something that looked interesting. APW. A fed that formed from the remnants of LXW. He said this was our chance to finally get something going, but I was still burned out from SWA. I didn't join APW until maybe 3 months after he did, as I finally decided to bite the bullet and get back into efeds. Like Hogan said, it's addictive.

But old habits die hard. In just 3 weeks of being part of APW, I saw SWA happening all over again. Spoiled members, stubborn admins, no sense of direction or comradery. Everyone seemed
to be out for self. And I wanted no part of it. One issue came up where I brought a simple concern about a match, where another members caw basically hunted one body part of my own the whole match, and that member catch a bitch attack. It happens, and that was all good. What wasn't good was the admin in question opting to take the easy way out instead of dealing with the issue. If the shoe were on the other foot and I bitches and moaned as this member did, I would have been sent packing. But this member was one of the "good ol' boys" so they just swept it under the rug. Keep in mind, this was now just a mere week after Thr33x was "removed for being disruptive" (Not even getting into that) so I decided to cut my losses and quit. I was already a good two weeks into XWA at the time with my 1st character from SWA, Jared Chase, so it was pretty much a seamless transition...THIS time. XWA pretty much is and WILL be my efedding home base for the foreseeable future, and for good reason. But I won't get into any of that, I'd be typing for hours.

Away from XWA in the "real world", I'm a Bartender and a wrestler. I was born and raised in New York City, but moved to Houston in 2003, where I still reside. While it'd be nice to maybe one day work for one of the big companies, I know it's far fetched as I'm in the gray as a wrestler, being a CHINESE wrestler. Even in the local promotions I've been part of, they've tried to get me to be a "Japanese" gimmick in some shape or form. But I'm proud of my heritage, and often times reject these ideas. The promotion I work with now is run by one of my good friends, and while we're small, and wrestle in a high school gym on weekends, I wouldn't change it in the world. Hell, I'm only 25 years old, who knows what might happen down the road? Anyway, I'll end my entry here. ;D

[Keith Wyle]

No wonder his promo's are so -Bleep!- ing good ;D

[sai]

Something told me he was a ringer, lol. I'll keep mines short and sweet. I happened across the link thr33x has in his sig on caws.ws and clicked it. Fell in love with the place, and decided to join. This is my 1st fed, and given certain circumstances, my only one from here on out. While I've been making original caws since SD:SYM, this was the 1st time I ever tried portraying any of them in this manner. My original character is Kris Cade, the one out of all my caws I identify most with, because his personality is pretty much my own. Laid back, easy going, not very boisterous, but always ready to fight for what's right, and what he believes in. I was going to bring Saizo in last year after OTS, but I got so into the stuff going on with Primo that I decided to wait for the next season. Outside of XWA, I'm just a regular dude living a normal life. I'm also as many of you have guessed HEAVY into graphic design. Maybe not on the level of Thr33x, but that's what I'm going to school for. Oh, another thing I share with Kris is that I am actually Straight Edge. That's all I've got for you. ;D

[Chris Lionheart]

^ You're not getting rid of Kris Cade are you? He was the most recognisable Pure Title holder last season, I was hoping he and Lionheart could build a feud from that?

[Carmella Blackheart]

Nah...Cade's still going to be around. I say he just posted as Saizo for the sake of not having to switch accounts to make his intro since it's the same guy.

[bulldogexecutioner]

Well, this seems like the place to do this......My name is Joe..My Wrestler is Bulldog Executioner...yes I realize the stupidity of my name, but it's one of the more original names out there

I'm pretty new to the video game aspect of efedding and I might need some time to get used to this so.....I am here and HI!

[xwa]

Welcome Joe. You'll find that we are a pretty friendly bunch that like to have fun. I hope you enjoy your time here.

[bulldogexecutioner]

good to know lol
now i just gotta get used to the video game part of this fed lol

[xwa]

Sometimes, thats the best feature. To see your character come to life is one of the best aspects of this place.

[bulldogexecutioner]

is there anyplace I can talk to someone about svr08?
cause i don't own the game, nor have I played it, and I don't know the types like wrestling styles, character appearance....
