So, after GFWWE crumbled I decided to not join GFWCW. I was still a member but I told WCW and Ginger that I will not continue being a moderator. I believe this is what caused Atomic Kitsune to become a moderator. I may be wrong since I really wasn't around when she came up as a mod. Hopefully, she will be able to shed some light or someone else that was around during these early, early days of ACW.
Now, what did I decide to do? I thought I could handle running a fed on my own. I'm not completely sure why I decided to leave a fed that I would have help running to a fed that I had no help whatsoever. Maybe I wanted to see if I could actually do it. Maybe I wanted to have total control. I really don't know. I set up my fed on proboards and called it GFEWA. This stood for Extreme Wrestling Alliance. At the time I didn't know there was another e-fed with the initials EWA, luckily they didn't mind. So, after I did all the basics such as create the colors, boards, and decide how I wanted run the fed I started to promote it very heavily on Gamefaqs. A good number of people joined the fed. Most were from GFWWE and are still here today.
This was when I got an interested offer. Gamer had gotten in contact with me. At first he hated that I was doing this and I believe saw this as an attack against him. Soon, though he came to my idea. So much so that he wanted GFEWA to merge with his fed. I was open to this but he wanted all control again. He wanted me to move to his boards for a new fed he had created. This would basically mean we were under his control again. I wasn't really up to this because as we were negotiating I really didn't like what he had to say. We couldn't come to an agreement and this caused me to continue on with my own project.
But something happened after a couple weeks of getting things ready for our very first show. I wasn't happy with it. I remember Atomic telling not to over work myself. She must have really known me by then because it's something that I do a lot. Especially when I'm really into something. I remember working on a poster for our first pay per view. Yea, I know we didn't have our first show yet and I was already planning the ppv. I realized I really like designing. It was the only part that I truly enjoyed. I felt this was something I could see myself doing more, especially in my free time.
As a matter of fact here is the originally poster designs. I think I ended up using it again in an GFWCW (ACW) ppv, Uncensored 2004. Marvel below at my odl crappy design skills. I'm going to make a topic dedicated soley to design later.
I think a lot of people were really interested in the fed and wanted to see it work. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't see myself handling every single thing. Days before it's first show, I decided to close down the fed. This angered A LOT of people on Gamefaqs. A topic was even created against what I had done. I felt bad about it but I knew it was for the best. I told everyone that was already signed up for the fed that they should head on over to GFWCW. I was becoming a mod once again but now for much better reasons. I knew now where my role was and I learned already what needed to be done to have a successful e-fed.
