It's been such a freaking long time, but man...I miss this place.
I feel like I've literally blinked my eyes since 2007, and life flashed forward 9 years. I've just entered my 30th year of existence, and am prepping for my first business trip in my 7 year career. I'm holding my sleeping 8 month old son, youngest of three, which further illuminates my feelings of time passing.
I legitimately miss this place. I miss being active in something so grassroots and authentic, driven by pure passion/creative juices.
I really miss you all...and there's a lot of things I wish I had done differently. You guys were a major element in my growth and maturity as an individual, even if the tail end of my stint didn't reflect it.
If there's anyone out there...I'd love to talk.
Frick, I'd like to actually write a one-off show/match/whathaveyou.

Hey Wyvern, it's Hitman/XS3. Good to see you again. We did have a one-off planned last year, but our respective real life stuff got in the way of that. I was glad to see your post here, and I'm actually stoked that you're a dad lol.

Yeah...I see that plans fell through.
If anything, I know I've got the energy and passion for one last go at a show. If you have any contact with anyone else from ACW, let me know...ill be refreshing this thread once a day in hopes that we can drum up interest.
Promos aside, I'd offer to write each match...that's how much I miss this.

Hey Wyvern. Good to see you, man. Congrats on your kids.
I know what you mean about passing time. It doesn't feel like that long ago since this place was buzzing with activity but when you actually stop and think about it, it's almost a full generation.
This place was probably a big part of a few of our lives for periods of time. It was like a community. A really unique set of people. Do e-feds even exist anymore?
I, like you, also miss the drive and commitment of throwing a promo together with someone and seeing it come together over the span of a few weeks/months. There's probably nothing quite like it in our lives now as we grow older.
I was genuinely disappointed when the one off show fell through. I think part of me had hoped that it would have been the start of a resurrection. But everybody, including myself, was just too swamped with everything else that it became clear that it was impossible. I think the biggest disappointment came from the realization that it was definitely over. ACW would never be reborn.
I would still be up for any sort of show, though. I'll have more time to myself soon as I'm changing jobs, giving me more free time to get involved. I love dusting off the characters and seeing what I can do with them after all this time. Building the backstories of Diverse Morality was one of the most fun things I've done in recent years. Reading the backstory and motivation of the other guys characters was also good fun and a lot of them seemed to reflect the same thing....we're all getting older and (reluctantly) moving on.
Don't forget there is an 'Infinite' show that you can post in. I'd love to see something new posted there.

Cody/Rena here.
I was participating in a Wrestling-themed Reddit Gifts Exchange and thought of this place. I had half-forgotten what my password was made as so many years ago- but here I am, glad to see it all still standing.
Not thriving, mind you, but there's a certain happiness to still see it remain- stuck in time, almost.
I'm 26 now, I think the age I used to pretend I was at the time. I run 11 addiction treatment centres throughout my province of Ontario now, I'm married and unfortunately my job and home life doesn't afford me much time to be creative or free, for that matter.
I'm glad everyone is doing well, and I hope everyone is happy. I miss the creativity this place allowed me to have, and the fun. I wasn't always agreeable or easy to get along with, but i was young and I've learned a lot since then. How silly it seems now, looking back, the behaviour I exhibited at times- like a character from Melrose Place. I guess at 18, 19 it's what I believed an adult should or would behave. It's been an interesting journey, to say the least, finding myself! Regardless, I've met some very nice people through this.
I hope Dylan/Yoko is well, I think about him often.
I always wished I had had a title run. I should have pushed myself further and not worried about making Rena a caricature of women. That's a big regret that I have.
Edit:
When I DO have free time, I can be found on Xbox One or PS4. So, if you are on XBL or PSN feel free to add my GT: CaptainCanuck89 PSNID: hursty089

I wish I could have joined this place at 25 (and still have the free time) than at 15. Christ, i was such an irritating teenager. I mean, I'm still an utter mongo now but at least it's with a healthy dose of reality and cynicism and all that jazz.
Providing I pass my teaching course, I have a job lined up in Poland. It excites and utterly terrifies me.

Now I'm 23 and graduated from college wtf. I still think about E-Fedding all the time and how I wish I could get back into it. However, I know that I don't have the time and it wouldn't be the same. The few years I spent here were hilarious and I don't think I'd be able to replicate that anywhere else. Cue Leave the Memories Alone with Ric Flair crying.

I never got to say thanks Train (along with Steele) for making the Road Steelers days enjoyable as fuck! I was telling one of my Eastern Canadian coworkers a few months ago about how you were always bugging me about bagged milk, haha.
