Tom's including me in one of his recent blog entries inspired me to bring more to the table, as I promised about a week and a half ago when I opened this thing up.
I guess that the thing that is weighing the heaviest on my mind right now is my return to A1E. That's kind of to be expected with the amazing amount of downtime on FW Central, but the weirdest thing is that the FW boards are what has gotten me thinking about what to do with my return to the wonderful world of A1.
Within the realm that is Major Championship Wrestling, you may have noticed that Chip Friendly and "Sensational" Steven Shane are representing the Highland Park Social Club. I just put up the first RP in our thread and I must say that while it seemed off from the original Steven Shane stuff that I'm used to putting up, it was quite fun.
People everywhere may hate it, but sometimes my mind runs wild while in an altered state. Work has been killing me with the Christmas rush that all retail stores see and my new brand of comedy within the HPSC is something that really lets me get out of the "sell everything" mode. If anyone would pitch some feedback on it, it would be great because I want to know if Shane needs to be serious again or if I can be successful while trying out this new promo style.
But while all of this is going on, it's time to be a fanboy and really talk about why A1E has become so much fun once more.
On several occassions, I've worked with Dan West. Shane actually had a feud with the HPSC a year or so back and Dan and I worked really hard with everyone involved to get a good story out of it. Aside from that, Dan is one of my most reliable RPers over in UCW. If you guys haven't ever read anything by BG Bruce, you need to check it out. The stuff we've been doing between Bruce and Commissioner Cloverleaf seems to have drawn more interest from people than I had originally expected.
But that's just the thing about working with Dan West. From day one, his Chip Friendly character has been my must-read for any type of card he's on. In fact, I was catching up on the EPW threads today and read his, I believe it was, 13 line RP and I was still rolling. The fact that Chip Friendly cannot fight Joey Melton because he's helping orphans have a good Christmas is something that only Dan West can dream up.
But aside from Chip Friendly, Dan West just brings what everyone wishes they could bring to the table in a bundle of different characters. The list is really amazing: The Spoiler, Victor Molotov, Bruce, hell, Dan West can even pull off an accountant in the e-fedding world. How the hell do you pull off an accountant in tights?
Single-handedly, Dan has just made this entire return to A1E something that's really been fun for me. I'm not sure if he's up for it, but the thought of Shane and Chip teaming up to maybe finally take down the long-reigning champs of Big Dog and Dan Ryan makes giggle like a little school girl.
So, until I get some more controversial thoughts that can really spark some conversation, I'll end this little fanboy rant. I promise, I have some good issues that have been coming up, but I'm just not feeling too controversial right now thanks to a day off from hell...err, Big Lots. I'm back on the job Friday though, so maybe I can finally get some sparks flying on this thing.

I honestly have nothing against a serious character trying to throw in alittle comedy now and again, at least to try and keep things fresh. I mean, the only instance that I never saw a serious character have success at being funny was Lance Storm (God don't hate me), I love his matches, but trying the make the man do away with a character so serious as he was...ya know...from Calgary, Alberta, Canada...was about as outrageous as the idea of K-Fed trying to get away with cheating on Britney...STUPID!!
But I digress.
I checked out the RP in MCW with Shane-o and Chip afew minutes ago, and enjoyed it immensely.
Run with it.
Who knows what could happen.
Hell, before I actually conversed with Melton (in RP), and started the entire tirade known as the Cameron Cruise Project...I kinda envisioned Melton to be more stiff-like, or un-funny...for lack of better word.
Run with it, my friend...see what happens.
Tom, aka the Cruiseman.
You already know what I think of it. It needs a little tweaking but that is to be expected because you are trying something new.
As far as A1E goes, let's hope that Damon Blackburn and Drunken Tiger get those belts first!
