I Wanna Be Sedated by The Ramones Is playing And the View slowly fades in to from pitch black. A Man in nice suit coat plain white shirt and nice black slacks is sitting in front of new like desk. A series of TVs behind him And computer slight to his left. The Music slowly fades away and he smiles then picks up sheet of paper and begins reading off it. Then looks up.
James Potterfield: Hello Wrestling fans I'm James Potterfield the man behind the scenes of this little chunk of the Efedding world and I'm here to lay the smack. No not the smackdown or the smack that most paltry Efedder think they're bring but the real smack. And the 411 on what's happening in the RAWF. You ma not like the smack. You may not care about it but I'm bring it. These are of course my thoughts and opinions not the official RAWF opinion.
There now that cop out is out of the way.
That being said. This is the first Edition of My News magazine/Column for the RAWF and it gonna be a somewhat bumpy ride. So welcome to my house the big house and asylum. I'm hoping to eventually Expand into ICE as well but for no this is beyond good. I'm gonna be looking for you takes as well via email. Now I'm not Chaos but the big man allowed me to steal his Email for this news magazine. Because he's the man. IF you want to hit me up with your takes, on anything and everything RAWF related just send the take to Chaos the big man an he'll forward it to me. Eventually I get my own but for now suffer. Its all good. So lets get right to it. Get ready for my takes on issues or non issues you may not be aware of.
On the TV's behind pictures of Darksider, TRH, Tommy Payne, Jimi Sinister, Trever Leiss, JYD, Tom E. Gun, and Mr. Showtime appear.
My first take. The RAWF seems to be in slump. Who know s why. I'm sure everyone has there reason and I don't care. My question is where have all the Big names gone? Time was you heard RAWF you got the best. Tommy Payne, Darksider, Victor Synn, Tony Rocky Horror, Jimi Sinister, To a lesser extent JYD and even that Nancy boy Showtime. These are the big names. But where are they? All have left for whatever reason. Not all under the right circumstances. Why where'd they go? Why'd they go? Sure there are some names left. Brandy Is Floating around, last of the truly Big Names of the traditional RAWF left. Sure Crush is developing but If he's gonna do a website RP why not use pictures and his Role plays aren't exactly mind-blowing. Now before you razz me I don't me the insane overused HTML whack job that Mr. Showtime RPs became I mean like maybe a banner or two. But that not the point. The RAWF has very little star power. Why?
Where's Tommy Payne?
He virtually disappeared very little word as to why. Left a massive hole this guy has skills and was massive on the Booking crew, his departure hurt. Especially cause no knew how permanent it was.
Darksider?
His woman dissed him and he left. Understandable The Handler is now behind the scenes. Room has it Dude has new character in the works.
Showtime?
Dude's a pussy. Lets get that right out there. He's a pussy. That's my take. He cried because his partner got tired of Wining for no reason. He cried his way out of the RAWF again. He'll be back/ He's always back. Regardless of what he says he'll be back. And if he isn't oh well not that big a lose. Dude was mad he got politiced out of the Tag titles. He readily admitted his RPs were sub par for the match. His partner had better thing going with somebody else. Dude wanted to to win even though his RPs sucked. Yes they sucked Efedders. No amount of pictures and music really make a RP good. No matter how many Wins came via Jimi, Showtime wasn't really hanging with anyone. He admits his RPs were bad then complains when he loses. HAHAHAHA.
Dude Was boycotting the RAWF. Dude was boycotting. An Efed. What a loser. Instead of being a man and just coming out with and asking why he lost he took his usual Nancy boy rout and Said nothing and boycotted. It was his own partner that requested the loss. It was politics. Sure he should have been in on it but then this is Showtime. The guy who left RAWF just so he wouldn't have to feud with Grave Digger.
This is Showtime the man who had his own federation hacked so he wouldn't have to run it. Supposedly. The last man to leave the RAWF with out having to job a title. Can anyone really Justify his last 3 months of his Hardcore championship reign? The man that participated in the infamous match switch. What scary about that.
If I can go off topic. Was not that they did it. But how many times. Sure they got caught. Once. It was an accident..eeeeeerrrrr... or jobbage so that the Hired Guns can be tag champions. Again. Whatever. No the point.
Showtime left. Good riddance. He was Mr. Politics and he mainly brought the politics yet he complain about them. Whatever.
Trever Leiss?
Does anyone remember when this guy was good? Oh he was. I don't deny him that. Dude was good. One of my personal favorites. But He got showtimed and bad. And he has the habit of leaving.... But that's putting it kindly. HE' WENT MIA Dude had been on some milk cartons. He got Showtimed hard core and has never been the same. Whatever.
Where is the What ever the hell he is this week TRH? Eerrrrr.. Should I say Mojo.... errrrrrrr should I say the Demon? Whatever he calling himself.
Dude Retired, and it probably for the better. Did anyone understand What the hell was going on in his little stories. Sure I think he had kid or something, but Wasn't his chick a serial killer with a bondage fetish?? Shouldn't the guy be in jail or something? Why were they suddenly all nice and stuff. Dude just do promos. I sure you the demonic lord of the underworld or something but this is EFEDDING. For Wrestling. Not Dungeons and dragons. Dude used the Devil in his RPs THE DEVIL. Sure. That makes sense. But he was prolific. I dare she when totally clicking, damn near impossible to beat. Damn impossible. Though he spent more time putting character and life into his valets than most people did with there own main characters. Dude if you have that much to write on that weird of stuff start book is all I'm saying. We'll all be better off.
He pauses confused.
Hahaha. That convoluted mess just needed time off. And it showed. Good ideas just not enough time. Dude needed like 3 years to get his shit done, and the lack of PPV hurt his cause.
What happened to the PPVs? TRH is champion for better part of 7 months PPV every month clock work. He defends, people seem just to be around to be there is he was going to lose. I don't want to say the RAWF revolved around him but why'd it fall apart when he lost the title? He loses we skip PPVs how many?
Of course it didn't fall apart because of him losing but it didn't help. It didn't help that Jimi wasn't a strong Champion. Dude didn't RP a few weeks and wasn't RPing better than that many people. When you the world champion you don't have to RP better than everyone. You don't have to RP more than everyone but you should be in the top 3 maybe even 5. Not 1 a week. You requested to do 3. Used to have to 6 a week to stay at the main event 3 isn't that hard. But Jimi wasn't even doing that. 1 some weeks one or two with none. That just not getting the job done. 1 and a joint RP isn't getting the Job done. At least hit three. You can just recycle ideas like you were for the last 4 months of your career. Anyway off topic. TRH officially retired but dude never retires. He'll be back eventually, be is as the convoluted TRH or Jaguar khan or some other thing. And the dude is haunting the OOC board and still assisting in match writing. SO he's never as gone as you think. Regretfully.
Anyway.
What happened Jimi sinister?
He has his big moment in the sun. HE beat the undefeatable Evil Demon Clown guy champion. The Just Kinda faded out. He was booker and the Champion, then lost and disappeared. He tried to stay n the booking staff but couldn't even stay on that consistently. Dude also got mad at TRH. For some un favorable OOC shots. Uncalled for from that bastard sure. Funny. Maybe. True. Perhaps. Jimi left with nary a word. He was tired. Needed time off. School whatever. HE was to busy to spend time RPing in RAWF .And immediately Took up role-playing as three characters in ICE. Sure Jimi you were tired. Right. Sure. Why not just say I hate this place and leave. Or say I'm don't' want to RP here anymore? Anything but the truth. Why can't you ever just come out and say something? Errrrrrrrrrrrr. Right. Jimi never say anything. Save to his Showtime family. It might cause controversy or confrontation. Dude this the Internet. I think you can deal with a mad efedder. They can't hurt you. Sticks and stones. It applies to text. So the dude left with out any of the usual Jimi flair. He just up and left. Well there go a few Jimi cluster fucks errrrr.. Matches.
Though I should stop razzing him. Jimi is a good Efedder.
He got a active imagination, and was solid writer. Even if he did repeat him
self. How many deals with angels did he make? Who knows. Why did he become superhero
right when the hurricane appeared in WWF errrr WWE
Anyone notice he went crazy and talked to a bear right around the same time
Perry Saturn was talking to a mop? Nope? Just coincidence then. He left the
RAWF and went to ICE, that's that. He jumped. He left RAWF for ICE. That's What
happened.
And tom E. Gun. When you came toe RAWF you expected to see Tom E Gun. Well he's dead now or something. So that's that. He's dead. And maybe its for the better. His I screw Brandy Sangria role-plays were repetitive. He lost his interest in Efedding, it happens. Who can fault the kid. Though him falling 20 or so feet then getting up to give speech and being happy that the man who legitimately wanted to kill him was now champion as kinda lame.... OK really lame.
And of the heavy weights. Or not so heavy weight, Just
for another take. Where did JYD go?
OK Dude was never really that big. But he won all the belts save the big one.
He brought the ever lame 24/7 rule to the RAWF. He was the hardcore champion
just never beat anyone worth beating. Dude Choked but was relentless. Sure he
got annihilated by Darksider on PPV But dude peed on the tag belt.
That's got to account for something.
No wait it doesn't. And What was the deal with the Deacon. It was a good idea till it came to the ring. Yea who wasn't gonna notice the Demon rip off? Come on Who did he think he was fooling?
I'll tell you who he was fooling. No one. Absolutely no one. Yea. He came out her and did his Deacon shtick then said Eeeeeeeeerrrrrrr.. Nevermind. And Unleashed his old school JYD gimmick. Nothing Says creativity like using a the name Junk Yard Dawg. Sure. But the dude had talent. Though is becoming the new tom e. gun. I screw Brandy. Yea that exciting who hasn't?
OK enough of that.
Next Take. Where is our World Champion. I know I touched on this earlier. But when you the champion you should be in the top 5 RPers going. And especially since there like 9 guys in the RAWF that can't be hard. She's been doing fairly well but What about this week? Our Champion wasn't on the card. What was that? Not one RP either. Now sure Our world champion is busy woman in real life but if you can't RP drop a line And don't even try to complain about getting left off the card. Come on. You got left off of like What two cards?
Tony Rocky Horror got left of at least two sure he appeared but match wise nothing. Because the RAWF can do that. Dude's world champion. Naw don't' book him. Chick is one of the top wrestlers in the fed. She doesn't need to be on the card. It happens. I don't What it was but arrogance that she assumed it was something against her personally. Or was it just the people feeding her info? Who knows. I just know that the champion should be the best in the fed and that not the case if she doesn't RP And I'm sure I care if life is hard. This is a hobby for everyone. We all have tough patches if you lose tough. That's Life. But you have to RP poor at least give word. Its no secret that the RAWF is in down times but the Champion not RPing isn't helping. NO yo don't just get to win because you are champion you still have to role-play. Its fact. Sorry. That just the way it is. It might be tough being the champion and all but, you still have to RP Sorry. Just the way it is. The champion has to role-play. Can't stress this enough. You have this huge feminist I'm getting screwed chip on your shoulder. Yet you champion and not RPing? Sure. That makes sense. Great RPer Though Most of the time. Great RPer Should be champion. But you have to RP
He ruffles the paper. JD Awesome, Outlaw, Captain Crush, Halie, Dr. Detroit appear on eh screens behind him.
The RAWF has had trouble developing new talent. I guess. I suppose this more of the Win or go home approach. New people are never coddled here. They are thrown tot eh wolves. And a lot of good talent leaves when it could have stayed. Sure but who could BEAT Tommy Payne or Darksider or Brandy Sangria in their first match? Very Few. It didn't help that TRH was booked in the first two matches for the last month or so of his career either. Dude was on fire. SO its fact. The RAWF never coddles new people. Its win or go home. Sure. This has negative effects. But it happened to everyone. And it worked, Darksider, Brandy, Payne had Maul in his face when he enter. TRH had to deal with the 187, dude lost to Pimpster. PIMPSTER. But then who didn't. 187 run ins made the nWo look like choir boys. The went over everyone. But it seems out of every 10 at least say like 3 came through. That number is significantly less now. Like 3 in every 30. Sure the new guys don't develop but the y have to try. Some just RPing doesn't get the job done. Case and point. When the Demon TRH version came out dude was all over the place. Working his thing. RPing on card shit, angles dude was working it. Same with Darksider. I have to give props to Darksider. Dude is 7 time world champion but isn't in line for a another legit shot at the world title to like 2007. Just eh way it works. Though the I'm 7 Time champion thing was hilarious. Admit it. Wait most of us had our heads too far up our asses to realize it. It was. Him and Payne â€s We are the champions cover was gold. Though I can't really give props to that Another Brick in the wall cover... What the hell was that?
Darksider, needs props. He been world champion material just hasn't had the opening.
Here's something I hear all the time. The RAWF is dying. Its dead. Whatever. I know some clones quit to see if it would dye. *Cough* showtime*Cough* But it won't. IT will good into down time but the fed has been around for the better part of 4 years. That like the freaking Yankees of Efedding. That an eternity. The RAWF has reel history. Not the made up kinda like ICE. REAL History. What happened in 1998? Go check.
But is the RAWF Dead or Dying. No and no. The RAWF will be alive until Chaos decides to end it and That it. No RPers ton of RPers that's it. So it will exist. It always will. Until That happens. SO stop gloating like you can read the future you can't. Its in down time now But I think measures are being taken to try to help the new people. Its That or Die I guess. And We have JD Awesome who's been a solid pick up. And the recipient of the small roster. If Awesome came in say three months ago would he be Hardcore champion. No. Most likely not. In fact definitely not. But hey he running with the ball. Can't blame him. And who else is new? Captain Crush has been around for a while but he's been solid. This lose is nothing, he could find a feud with Sangria now or go back and forth with outlaw who I'm digging by the way. Outlaw if he was more consistent with his RP would be world title material I would say. Nut then that's outlaw's problem. Its always something.
What about Dr. Detroit you ask? Who knows. Juries still out. I'll hold off That one for the time being.
Krow seems to be coming into his own. Or maybe just the old class leaving helped him out. He never seemed to get over the hump. Time will tell.
And Halie. To early to tell. Looks promising Though Have to admit. Interesting take I think. IN the error of either Showtime, Jimi, or TRH imitation she seems to be something new. Good more power to her and the new class. Hopefully something new can come out of them. But the Old class always seems to have habit of returning. Showtime returns eventually. TRH is like Jason from Night mare on elm street he always comes back. So is Darksider. Hell I heard Bone Crusher was thinking of Coming back. And Wasn't That Crippler I saw punk out crush? See the Veterans will be back Which is good.
Heck now hat Payne, Darksider., TRH and Showtime are gone seems like Laursen would have good shot now. Of course he only seems to like to return so he can job to TRH. Dude Left and no one cared. That funny Laursen had ability but never quite found the it. But who knows the door it wide open at this point. Heck there even a daemon sighting. Former US champion are all over the place. Now it your time to shine fellas. Give 'em hell.
It a shame to see the tag belts retired but had to be done. Had to be. The US title seems to have retired with That Demonic bastard. A shame. No wait no. Five belts if way too many for a federation with 10-15 person roster. Just too many. 3 is just enough I think. If everyone a champion what's the point? This si competitive at some level remember.
You know What we need in more RPs? Weight lifting. Errr. No wait we don't. Same can be said to challenging others. We really need more of That When has a challenge ever worked. If you aren't named outlaw I mean. Bottom line don't do it. And now house show RPs come on. And While I at it Lay off beating up jobbers. You aren't scaring anyone efedders. No is scared Showtime can DDT Four House show jobber before telling some there ass is on notice. Now is impressed Jimi Sinister can beat Jake Mcjobber on at the EFW indy show. No one. And no in scared McCloud can dismember a camera man live on screen. Eeeeerrrrrr. Wait wrong federation. What was That about anyway? Slicing up a camera man to scare you opponent? No Just not scary. Silly in fact Unless writing is excellent manner. And Mike McCloud isn't even close to That stage yet.
Before I split. It about time for An attack of friend Keith and Doomsday isn't it? "I RULZ YOU SUX I"M THE THE WINNA! FAGS! I KICK YOUR ASS" Yes can't wait for That I see I'm out of time. I'll be bring back more smack next week.
This has been James Potterfield from the Asylum... I'm Out. Peace.
I wanna be sedated by the Ramones hits as Potterfield shuffles his notes and it fades to black.
You like the Smack? Hate it? Have some smack of you own? Well Just email me via Chaos rawf_prez@hotmail.com And get off his ass this wasn't his idea and is not him. Peace clones.
