Expansion Period should start with Uncensored, particularly the main event. SDS did cement the "turning point", but Uncensored started it. It was the first show with epic matches and intricate storylines. That's when we really showed that we'd be an organization that would last a little longer than the "norm" of three and a half months. :-p It was probably the first time we were able to step back and say, "Wow, that was really great." Everybody involved was very proud of it. That was one of the tougher decisions that I made in putting that together. I can see your point, BK and I were tenative on deciding between the two PPVs, but after looking at cards up through SDS, it still seemed to have more in common with the early days than what followed SDS. You really didn't see much of the old jobber types after SDS, and while things started to change for sure after Uncensored, they cemented after SDS, and I think that's a more decisive cutoff. Of course, I'm still open to responses/debate on that point and could still change my mind. Before Uncensored... We didn't have much. We had iffy leadership with iffy shows. Nothing was concrete. Our fed didn't have an identity. Uncensored happened, and a lot of people stood up and got noticed. Ridley, myself, Skurai, AK, and Latino, for example. We started interesting storylines and had a firm plan of how to build things for the future. We had the big feud into SDS that started just after Uncensored. It involved various people. The World Title also got its first "real" fued and such. All of this leading into SDS. At the very least, you should have it (Formation-Uncensored/Uncensored-SDS 05), since it was both the end of the old ways and the beginning of the new ways. I also disagree with SDS 05 being the beginning of the Lull period. In my mind, the lull started quite a bit earlier... At OE I. That one, however, I'm not so sure about. I'm adamant about the Uncensored part. :-p

No way that the lull started at Omega Effect, that was too well executed. I was playing around with post OE1 being the start, but really, we still had enough solid storylines that continued to SDS, that the shows at least were still a step above what followed.

Well, we just need to nail down the eras for good. Once we do that, we can progress and do many fun things here.
And for the sake of progress, I'm going to temporarily finalize(yes, a splendid oxymoron if there ever was one) the stated eras so we can get on with this)

So then, for the first actual era topic: the Pre ACW Era: GFWWE
Basically, I want info on these areas from the time:
*Top Stars(Self Explanitory, give a little info on what they did if possible)
*Major Events(Kayfabe wise, I'm doing a parallel sort of thing covering both kayfabe and ooc. I'll do a historical background on the GFWWE structure, and such, but I want individual things here)
*Fun OOC Tidbits(Random stories, ooc feuds, etc.)
*The Rise and Fall of GFWWE(Specific to this era, mainly ooc)

In GFWWE, Latino was over. The first jobber to ever recieve a main event and a title shot on a PPV.
Jake Cheng was the first ever....*shudders*...World Champion before he disappeared and was stripped of it.
Gooey Garth was less lazier and more charasmatic.
I forgot those other guys.

A few notable events that I can remember to pass the time, hopefully these stir up some memories:
The formation of the Senatorial Stable came about with the insane Ministry group running rampant in GFWWE. They(including Crazy Cool Ben(Santi) were your typical anarchist evil group. They created a ton of chaos, so much so that if it continued, they would have both driven people out of the group, and torn the fed down. That's when AK, a reformed Ben, and a few others decided to form a group with the principles of protecting one another from the random attacks of the Ministry. Thus was the birth of the Senatorial Stable.
Latino joining the Senatorial Stable, forming its branch on the other brand, and then violently quitting it with a sledgehammer attack.
Da Outsider as an dominant champ
OOC
Latino's famous story of the prank quitting, and singlehandedly devistating the group when people actually followed him.
Randomized Rankings
More to be added later on...

I got a story to tell.
Ok so it was Gooey, myself, WCW, Red (I think), VashTheStampede (I believe his name was) and Kain (and probably some other guys). We had this stable going called "Dream Stealers".
Catchy name, no? .....
Anywho we didn't do much back in the day. Me and Vash were the tag team if you will of the stable, being the midcard...actually I was upper midcard and he was midcard. We were very close to winning the tag belts a few times but he was to low and holding us down from winning... Gooey was the main eventer of the stable so therefor the reason why he won the world title that one time. Kain did something.....and WCW was the manager of the stable or at least wanted to be the manager hence the whole problem with him.
Theres my bit.
