Might as well start this thread now

[wyattcox]

(As the Tardis continues it's travel through Time and Space, all the reunited friends are enjoying their travel...except Chloe, who's sullen and withdrawn. Beverly steps over to her friend.)

Beverly: What's wrong, baby.

Chloe: I screwed up. I ruined my last chance.

Beverly: You did what you thought was right.

Chloe: Just one more dance. All I really wanted was one more dance. And I went to the wrong Quinn.

Beverly: That's history. There are better times ahead.

Chloe: That doesn't mean I can't miss him...he was....

(Chloe begins to sob and Beverly puts her arm around Chloe as the scene fades.)

[Fire-Babe]

So I'm enjoying the in character retrospective interviews, (Moose's in the last thread, and then Dev's...and Snels, you made me laugh water out my nose!)...so invitation to anyone who's ever been in OOWF to have your character do an interview. Or three... or however many....something to read ya know?

Just came across the MS Word file of my write up for the tag titles at Hell on Earth IX, Salvation v Texpress. Gotta admit, even if it's me saying it, that was a damn good write up.

[Road Warrior Shark]

Just saw a random FB post where someone shared the Video to Big & Rich "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy" Not that I'd have time these days, but I definitely miss this stuff.

And in posting this, I remembered when I saw Snels post there a couple months ago, I intended to go back and reread that match and never did. So I am doing that right now during my lunch break.

Great Stuff. Except for the Finish (I kid, I kid)

[Road Warrior Shark]

In my time as booker, I was particularly fond of a couple things.

The Ending off the IO where Moose walked out as the last entrant to an empty ring to win the thing.
The Ending of Hell on Earth XII

And I wasn't much of a big match writer, but there was a feud between Beer Money and Texpress that I had just a ton of fun writing, working in references and inside jokes from Hodgey & Solly's podcast (RIP Beer Money Pod) that probably only amused me.

Before my booking stint, I really liked the Double Jeopardy Cage match Wyatt and I worked together on. It was my concept, but he did the majority of the writing on the match itself. And then getting to refer back to it years later during a Chad Madison/Ecosystem HIAC match made smile inside a lot.

And I really loved coming up with the couple of "Swerves" Over the years.

Phantos & Lucios losing a Loser Leaves Town match when I was moving in 2009., Then one at a time introducing Chad and Zane individually - complete with individual PH accounts for each (MyZ & MadC) then teaming them up, and THEN letting Moose in on the secret and turning Davin on Darling. So, kind of a reverse Midnight Rider/Dirty Yellow Dog/Stagger lee thing where instead of coming back under a mask, I had the guys come back without their masks. Sure, I was probably the only person who reveled in the irony, but it was still fun.

Then, after unsuccessfully trying to get a co worker to take the plunge, using the character that I was helping him develop and using another friend's OO account, Trying to write heel with Ricky Soaring Eagle. God did I suck at that.

And finally, after another hiatus, coming up with Dre Gaines as kind of a distraction to bringing Chad Madison back, under a mask and winning the Invitational as The Zax. Writing those Dr. Seuss-style rhymes was so much fun each week during that run.

I did a lot of probably unnecessary things during these times, trying to recruit and get the word out. Most E-Feds last 6 months, a year tops. For us to go on as long as it did is truly remarkable. It helped generate a real community. I cherish some of these friendships to this day.

Miss this stuff. I wish I had the time to work on it all over again. One of these days I will update the title histories spreadsheet which is still in my Dropbox. I don't think I will ever delete it.

That’s from both of us.

Watching the entertaining-if-not-great-wrestling match between FTR & MJF vs Sting, CM Punk & Darby Allin.

Seeing FTR hit the Drop a Deuce made me smile and think of this place again.

[Jack Quinn]

Been thinking about the OOWF a bit lately. There is so much I am so proud of, I think we told some really good stories and had a lot of fun. The OOWF helped me through a lot, I went through a separation, a mental breakdown, and harbored far too much anger directed at far too many people, but writing for Moose kind of let me get that out.

That said, there are a lot of things I wish I could have done differently. One thing I wish I would have been more open minded with BVA. I love the Quinn/Darling story, but there were too many times I let my personal anger get in the way of the story. I am sorry about that. As good as I think it was, it could have been even better.

There are times I think about writing for Banned From Everywhere or The Chickenshit Heels and it makes me laugh. I I don't watch wrestling much anymore, I keep up with it through the recap shows mostly (shout out to Simon Miller) and I watch some youtube videos and such, and there is so much I see and think "oh man, so and so would could have used THAT move", or "damn, that is a good angle, I wish we could have done that!"

I regret that we didn't get a proper send off. We were so close to the 15 year mark, maybe one day we can do a proper reunion show. I mean, lots of new faces in wrestling, maybe we all get one more dream match before it's over.

Thanks again to everyone, you made a tough time in my life a whole lot better.

[Road Warrior Shark]

I understand and hope that I didn't add to any of your issues. Hope you are in a better place man. We didn't always see eye to eye, but I have nothing but respect for you.

I loved the OOWF and with my current position, would be up for doing some OOWF stuff if there's an interest.
Put me down for FTR and Texpress !!!

[Jack Quinn]

I cannot recall you ever giving me any issues. Writing for, and coming up with ideas for Texpress was always easy and I don't recall any big differences. Hell even Moose jobbing to The Zax was fun!

I am in a much better place now mentally. I have let go of the hate as much as I can. It's just not worth it anymore. I feel like, for the most part, I am at peace. It's pretty cool.

I honestly don't know who Moose would face in a dream match. I've kind of lost touch. Kevin Owens maybe?

I just want to write Banned From Everywhere vs. Orange Cassidy and Danhausen.

To be fair, no one ever saw eye to eye with Moose.

Mooshead Jack vs Jon Moxley

[DevSop]

It was never personal for me, but we definitely clashed quite a bit. And I think the Darling/Quinn stuff went as well as could be given all that. There were definitely some ideas that could have gone better or worked out but I’m as happy as possible with everything that did happen. I’ve gone back and re-read some stories and loved some of what we were able to accomplish. And I’m not sure I ever gave you the credit you deserved for booking as long and as well as you did. I know when I took over for a bit, it was way harder than I thought and getting full blown matches written on a weekly basis was damn near impossible.

IF the OOWF ever came back, we’d have to have a lighter week to week match schedule or figure out a way to not burn everyone out on promos and matches. But I am open to considering it. I’ve wanted to go back and finish my post-OOWF promos and just haven’t had the chance.

That all being said, I can think of a few matches for both Alex and Lexie. She’s probably easier as the women’s boon as happened since and she’d work against hundreds of people in the current landscape. Alex is a bit tougher, but Omega makes a lot of sense as a collector of belts. Roman isn’t ideal as a wrestler but Roman’s heel run is very much in an Alex ballpark. On a pure, best match…it’d have to be Gargano. And then we could do Darlings/Garganos as a mixed match as well.

So I didnt write anything down, but after posting last night here, I did think of Alex/Fire vs Rollins/Lynch

Also, like 2 years ago, watching one of those amazing Lee/Dijakovic matches, I had a short FBM convo with Stank because it hit me, Keith Lee is the perfect Stank. Dijakovic vs Davin feels like fun as well.

Flyin Hawaiians vs. Usos

[L!zz~]

Bev vs Toni. I love it.

[L!zz~]

Not sure I can root for Folz though....

[Road Warrior Shark]

If we're doing 2 nights, I can see

Cowboy Chad Madison vs Hangman Adam Page

Zane Myers vs. Wardlow


Also, just for laughs

Comrade Sharkoff vs. Miro

Ricky Soaring Eagle vs. Luchasaurus

Awesome Bill vs Evil Uno

Justin Sane vs Darby Allin

[DevSop]

Pretty sure we did Uso’s/Hawaiians at the WWE show. I think Hawaiians/Acclaimed is much better and then Heels/Bucks or Heels/Jurassic Express leads to a lot of funny stuff.
