I thought it was quite entertaining. I especially enjoyed the digs at Adam Young and Hunter. I also enjoyed the regaling of ACW conflicts between yourself and Nathan and Night Rider, because that gives some nice back story. Also liked you touching upon the fact that you and Blade are both dubbed "The Future". Could this cause some conflicts in the match with both mean aiming toward the same goal? Who knows, but it was a nice touch.

ha, thanks. I appreciate it.
Actually, I gave Jeff the same frustration I had because I actually really tried to research Adam and Hunter and the only things I could find were, well...one promo. I really had a had time researching them, haha.

I'll say the opposite, I mean, it's cool that you have backstory with your opponent, but that shouldn't be the focus.. oddly enough..
Too much ACW, not enough ... anything else! Still solid though.

That's the thing though, CD, half of the guys in the match are from ACW, so they have history together that should be acknowledged. Plus they've only been in WCF for what, five minutes? Not a whole hell of a lot to talk about there. Then you've got Hunter and Young... and they're jobbers. What do you say about jobbers? "I'm going to jobber kill you!" That goes without saying.

No no, I agree, it's ok to touch on, but the entire RPs were based around ACW. I know Seth won't mind, but I got a bit of an earfull over in IWF for trying to incorporate WCF into my story. It's just in bad taste, I guess.

It's just in bad taste, I guess. Yeah well you probably got an earful in IWF because they were threatened by the mention of another federation. I mean if you were there saying "hey I'm CD and here's what I did in WCF" that's one thing but if you were in IWF facing someone from WCF then I see no harm. What exactly was Jeff supposed to do when talking about these guys? Pretend he'd never wrestled them before? The first two or three weeks are the hardest in a new federation until you have something "new" to talk about. |

Whoa whoa... they're FAR from threatened by WCF. We're fucking amateurs compared to them. It's just kind of insulting to speak about another place so much while trying to build something new.

Well, case in point... I'm going against Kaylyn over there. She did an RP about our history, but never once mentioned the letters WCF.

You've been there a few months though, CD. This is Jeff's first match in WCF and Nathan's second. There's going to be some bleedover from their ACW days. Unless they're going to go all non-canon and pretend they've never met before. And honestly, CD, you've name-dropped IWF in every RP you've done in WCF since the reboot, so... pot, meet kettle.

It's different, I'm not basing my entire RP around IWF. I mean, ok, I get it, and it wouldn't be bad to mention ACW since it's obviously where they came from... but those look like ACW RPs, not WCF RPs.
Again, though, Seth won't mind, so it's all good, just what I have learned since branching out from here.

And maybe, just maybe when they have more than one combined WCF match under their belts, they'll develop more of a WCF-based persona. Right now, they're relating to their ACW experience because that's what they know. If they're still spending most of their time talking about ACW in a month or two, then I would agree with you, but for now I think it's fine.

It's more than fine, just a personal opinion I wanted to get across. In my eyes, it looks a bit bad on them to do it. The RPs were still good, haha.

I see where you're coming from. I do think that as they have more time here, the focus should be on Dub-See-Eff. I think it's tough for them since they don't have history here. You did raise a valid point though. I'm not disagreeing with you on your basic premise.
If someone writes a strong RP that focuses on WCF, that's going to beat a strong RP that focuses on ACW.

These guys will catch on rather quickly, they all did when they joined ACW, and they will do so easily here as well.
As for CD going against Kay this week in IWF. Yup, history is out there, and it was rather easy not to mention WCF seeing as though it was hinted many times before where they knew one another from, and how lol. [/font]

Just look at it this way. Our roleplays were both character development. But since both Jeff and Nathan aren't brand new, our development came in the form of our history. We didn't need to tell each other 'cause we were both around when it happened. Instead, we shined light on what our character has done, how he reacts to certain things, and his personal traits. You people (save Nightrider and Kaylyn) didn't know who we were so we had to show you.
And really, if Jeff wasn't involved in this match, I wouldn't have too much ACW. But it was because I have more history with him than anyone else here that made me have to put it out there for everyone to see. Because y'all wouldn't understand the verbal jabs and heated matches between us without our history.

Right, and not only that, like Nathan said, some of it was Character Development. At least for Jeff, I can't speak for Nathan. But I am sure its the same. I wanted everyone to be introduced to Jeff, and not only see what he has done in the past, but really understand that while Nathan and Jeff never actually "feuded" in ACW, if it would had lasted a little longer, I am sure they would have. Now, they are both here, ready to carry on what they did before, but it would be robbing you guys to just say "I know what you are like Nathan" then actually kinda showing you the history.
Also, it is really hard to talk about anything unless you have been at a fed for a while, and I am sure if Nathan and Jeff start "feuding" here, the WCF will be talked about more, and the ACW will fade out.
Like, when WCW and WWF were around, and WWF would attain a WCW superstar or vice versa, they always talked about their time at the other federation. Thats where they have been thats their history.
I do understand what you are saying CD, but it isn't a permanent thing where whenever Jeff and Nathan and Nightrider are in a match, its going to be all ACW based, no worries there.

I actually like where this is going. May the storyline continue.
