Alright. So… let’s get this underway, eh?
Hello all. My name is Owen, in case you didn’t know. I run FWA and have been for the past two years of my life.
Now, here I sit, on the brink of turning 20 years old… and no, I am not retiring. FWA is merely entering a hibernative state, of sorts. It’s going on a small hiatus.
Don’t fret, though. The Anarchy championship will still be active. Mostly on the XHF and FWA (hopefully) Discord servers, but Anarchy title activity is most certainly allowed on the boards as well.
I’m making this post as a means of thanking you all. For your patience and your dedication. To Dylan for stepping up and helping me write what is, as of right now, FWA’s final show before its break. To Chris (Grandore) for having my back. To Adrien for much of the same reasons and for being my “guy”, even through some of the tough patches in his life recently. To everybody who’s still part of FWA right now, and to everybody who ever took a chance on me and on FWA. Thank you. Thank you all. For now, it has to go away… but it will be back eventually.
Now… an explanation is owed. For all of this.
When I first started FWA, I had a vision for it that I would treat it like a wrestling territory of the old school days… and with the people I had in the fed at the time and the way I wrote my angles, my original vision got completely derailed by people who had zero concept of what I wanted to do.
Fast forward to the present day and for the most part, that problem is gone… but I still remain and my angles only get goofier, meaning that FWA will never be the Old School Territory that I wanted it to be and has transformed into this Sports-Entertainment Frankenstein Monster that I can’t control anymore.
And… I’ve come to terms with that.
FWA is like my baby at the end of the day and I’m the one who fucked up raising it. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t support and encourage my kid that as long as he doesn’t hurt anybody, he can be whatever he wants to be?
So, no… I’m not shutting FWA down. At the same time, the Sports-Entertainment is too much for me at this juncture. So, I need a break from it.
With that said… when FWA comes back, I’m going to embrace the craziness and the Sports-Entertainment because I might as well. No kayfabe breaking, of course, because that’s bullshit.
But I wanna make FWA the most insane place on the Network when I’m ready to get going with it again.
I wanna take it in a similar direction to that of “Grim’s Toy Show”, in the sense that it’s a little of everything. Hardcore, Comedy, Old School, Showmanship, even the Modern Move Mark style, all of it will be welcomed with open arms, just as long as whatever you bring to the table is not egregiously offensive. Gimme all the compelling characters you can bring!
On that note, I’ve said my piece. Thank you all for reading this, I know I rambled on for a bit. I’ll see y’all whenever I see ya.
