Ok, I want to put together a comprehensive history for both ACW and Fallout, starting over break on each. For new members, this will be a way to see where everything came from, for vets, a nice way to look back on our past.
The first thing to do is establish eras that make it easier to sort out "chapters" when I edit this into an easily readable(but still huge) document. So, that's the first topic here in this topic.
*Pre-ACW Era: GFWWE
(Not actually ACW, but that's where we came from, lots of fun stuff from way back when.)
*The Early ACW Era: The GFWCW Days
Formation to SDS '04
(This era was rather short, but distinct, with the large amount of somewhat featureless or deriative jobbers who rarely did much, and shorter match writing on average, especially before Unforgiven.)
*The Expansion Period
SDS '04 to SDS '05
(We seemed to have truly started to have grown in this part.
The storylines became much more intricate, the personalites much more indepth and ambitious, and the matches more complex, and Fallout became a show in its own right.)
*The Lull Period
Post SDS '05 to WD '05
(After OE1, and especially SDS 05, things were a bit helter skelter, with some overriding debates over fed format, and some various distractions. Not that nothing good came out of this time, because it did, but it was a down period, with a distinct feeling that the fed was a bit burnt out.)
*The Recovery Period
Post WD '05 to OE 06
(Things started picking up and building up once again, with old vets and new people alike starting to get back on track, leading up to our greatest show to date.)
* Current Era
Post OE 06 to Today
(This could be cut off before I finish on this...in fact, I bet it will be.)
Ok, those are the general eras that I came up with, with BK and Jake's help. Do feel free to debate me vehemently on the names, eras, descriptions, heck, anything. Please do, in fact.
Next up on the plate, I'll indiviudally go over each chapter and try to compile as much useful info for them as possible, for example, top stars from the time, key newcomers, major happenings, ooc stuff, etc.
