Wow..so, uh. Yeah. That was a show. All no shows and miscommunications aside, I think it came together really well. When I initially put the idea together to do a battle royale contender match, man...I wasn't expecting 42 people to be in it. And yeah, I know, not everyone showed, but I'm not one to half ass it, so I put a lot of effort into that thing. I'm happy with how it played out. We got matches set up for the PPV and guys have direction. It was - hopefully - the hardest match I ever have to call. So many of you guys did really good stuff in the 1500 word limit. I stand by my decision and think it was the right one. Congrats to the winners. However, there will be major fallout from the ending of the battle royale on the February 2nd Vengeance. So, just be prepared for that. If you haven't been booked for Vengeance and want to be, here's the thread for that. Let's get a few more people booked if possible.Feedback below. I'll post the Vengeance card tomorrow (Sunday) but I'm really really happy with this place and the effort the first two shows. Hopefully these results show that. Thanks guys and girls!

Congrats to the winners of the Battle Royale!
Also that Cena segment... *gets emotional* beautiful.
But really the whole thing came off super well. Hats off to all who wrote the segments and matches!

Sucks about a few no-shows, but sickness and time management and all of that rears its ugly head sometimes, especially when you need it the least.
The women’s segments needed to be rewritten due to no shows, but there’s a good thing going in that division and a lot of talented writers in it. Excited to see how that title hunt unfolds.
The Cena segment. My word. I don’t even know.
Battle Royale.. It was a free shot at a world title match and everyone brought it. You can tell the difference now between those phoning it in, writing the same thing every week, and those wanting to do something outside the box and put in effort on the RP board, on Eruption, the social media board, and hitting the writing prompts. There’s plenty to do here to keep the Fed active besides the 45 minutes it takes every 10 days to write one 1500 word RP. Get engaged and let’s keep the momentum rolling.
I am honored to have been one of the two chosen and will not let you down at Ascension. I’m sure there’s some here with mixed feelings on me, and me with you as well, but that was the biggest win I’ve had in a fed since coming back 3 years ago or however long it’s been. I’m jacked. I’m ready to, ahem, do the work. Thank you to everyone, and Craig, for the hard work this show period.

Big shout out to Scott and Pylum. That will be one hell of a main event at Ascension. Big props to Craig for pulling off a very difficult match to write (battle royal).
Love the direction things are going. Had some great segments that are starting to build things we can look forward to in the future.
A lot of other quality RPs were posted for this show too, so everyone that took the time and contributed should be proud of themselves. Disappointed in the no shows, but understand that it's part of the game. Hopefully those members realize we have a good thing going here and show next time.

The battle-royale was well-written. I'm sure it was a slog to write. Was not a slog to read. There were good stories in there, such as an elimination competition between Wardlow and MJF. Congrats to the winners.
Petey Avalon and Jessie McKay challenge John Cena and AJ Lee to a Falls Count Nowhere tag team match next week.

As usual, I'm going to try to touch on everything without speaking on things I personally contributed.
For a show with significantly less matches than the first episode, there was a lot going on here to drive everything forward, toward Ascension. I liked Foley opening the show and the reveal that the person with the most eliminations will get to face Chef Strowman at the PPV was a cool development. I never really thought of something like that to determine a challenge but it makes sense.
Just gonna talk about all three women's qualifying matches at once since none of them were competitive due to no-shows. Really excited to see Anthony, Zelda, and myself join Dustin and myself in the Queen of the Mountain match. There's not a loser in the bunch and it's truly anyone's ballgame when the time comes. It will be interesting to see if Sasha Banks can knock Rok-C out of her spot and take her place in the match. Good luck, Roc!
The John Cena/AJ Lee segment was a true work of art, as is anything that Roc contributes. He's truly a living legend in the hobby of e-feds and it's really a pleasure getting to see him work in real time. Treasure these moments.
Man, Honky Tonk Man and 2.0 is such a weird team-up. I think I said this for the last show, but it's bizarre how well it fits together. With something on the horizon with the Varsity Blondes, I feel like things will start to get crazy. I know Dustin likes to go outside the box, so it'll be interesting to see where he goes creatively to compete with a couple heavy hitters like Brett and Cleve.
With the Motor City Machine Guns mixing it up with Madcap Moss and Happy Corbin right after, I'd wager to guess we've got tag titles coming sooner than later. WLCW has a really dense tag division for an e-fed and I really hope that's maintained as we continue. Tag teams in e-fedding feels like a lost art and I'd like to see it rekindled here.
Really fun to see the interaction between Matt Sydal, CM Punk, Chef Braun, and Kingston. Really sucked to see Chef Braun no-show after just winning a championship. Hopefully he just had something going on and he's not just gone. That first RP was really well-written and I want to see more of what he has to offer.
The battle royal is huge. I was warned that it was gonna be big and it was even bigger than I was anticipating. Booker T had a good run, which is awesome. Although getting eliminated by Cody Rhodes was a crime against humanity. At least he went on to win the whole thing, though, so it's not as embarrassing. Congratulations to Scott and Pylum. Two talented handlers going head to head with two characters that are actually respectable modern day stars. Also, congratulations to Jeff on becoming number one contender to the X-Division title. That should be a great match.
All in all, a fun show that was a brisk and easy read. Ascension is shaping up and really beginning to look like a solid PPV. Great job to everyone who showed and contributed to results!

I'm not the best feedback guy but felt like I at least needed to pop on here and say thanks for the kind words. I haven't had the best luck in e-feds the last couple years, but I'm excited to see where I can take Miro and am looking forward to be taking part in the inaugural world title match. Scott is a guy I've never crossed paths with either so this should be fun.
Special mention for that John Cena segment. I'm still really not sure what I read, but I can't stop thinking that I need to see more.
Also, shout-out to Craig for writing what seemed like a massive headache to plan out in the battle royal. Played well as I was reading it. Ending was good too.
