1. Gary Brown and Busta BYRD: Not a shock here. Everyone knows that Brown and BYRD made the FWF what it is today with their consistency and quality. I had a chance to feud with Brown, and it was unbelievable. Perhaps the only shock here is no Dave Dexter.
2. Dave Dexter: Dave has been called the greatest ever, but aparently not...hehe...But anyway, Dave kept the FWF alive during those dark days when Deuce Deamon was a main eventer. Dave's style was innovative and entertaining. You would never leave a Dexter roleplay disappointed.
3. Brent Kersh: Brent's character was one of the most original in the history of FWF. The fact that he based his character on the whole "I Wrestle" thing, was great. Brent was unique in that aspect and always offered a refreshing view on the happenings in FWF.
4. Jeff Jackson: Hahaha, well, what to say about The Jagged One. Jeff is memorable for phrases like "Scandlous Whore" and sidekicks like "The Raging Greek" Angus Popadopolous and Cincinatti Dave. His "high" rps were hillarious and he always left me clutching my side.
5. BRS and Gravestone: What to say about the two people who have probably had the BIGGEST problems with FWF recently...Gravy and BRS were great reads. While some people called Gravy an Undertaker rip, he was completely original. As Dave Dexter once said "Does Undertaker go to a bar, get drunk, and kick everyone's ass?" BRS was a great character and was always intereting. I thoroughly enjoyed both of them. On a side note, get better Ed.
6. Jimmy and MISSLE: Possibly two of my best friend's in this game, and quite possibly, two of the greatest World Champions FWF has ever had. Jimmy's innovative narration and unique character made for memorable angles and even more memorable roleplays. Now, MISSLE, has grown over time. I can remember when his font was like size 33 and his entire roleplays were sex and "I'm appealing, you suck". Now, however, he's changed. His roleplays have distinction and depth. I always make a point to read them, and both of these men have earned this spot.
7. Sheep Mangler and Lord Infamous: What says it better than, "God". Sheep and Infamous reaked of originality. I mean, c'mon, just look at their characters? Who else was as daring, with his "quality", as Sheep Mangler? Who put everything as perfectly as Lord Infamous? Hell, I'm surprised that Infamous didn't join Sheep in the hall this year.
8. Justin Goldman: What to say about Justin? Juice, as many call him, ran the FWF for close to, what, 2 years? He ran it with class and dignity and no matter what people said, was always there to listen, to EVERYBODY. He brought FWF to new heights and helped it reached new goals. Justin, is, without a doubt, one of best fed-heads in the history of e-wrestling.
9. The Infamous C-Fu: I believe one word describes this man, "ghetto". Haha, his rps were great, and he was one of the first to curse in roleplays. He was a pioneer and perhas paved the way for people like myself who do use some "dirty words" here and there. Hehe.
10. Sparrow: Sparrow was, without a doubt, one of the best to ever grace the FWF boards. His roleplays always made the point and he never jibber jabbered around. He was always a good read, and it was sad that he left FWF last year on such bad terms. He and KRUNCH were doing very well as Tag Champions, if only they could have stayed.
11. KRUNCH: The OTHER Pandora brother. Some say KRUNCH should have joined his "brother" Sparrow in the Hall of Fame this year, but it didn't happen. Maybe, some time down the road, it will happen. Until then though, he'll be remembered for his different style, and great entertainment. His title runs were memorable and so were his angles.
12. Jimmy Harmon and The Polish FrenchFry: Harmon and FrenchFry are two of the funniest men in FWF history. Harmon's rps alway leave me laughing and Fry's stupidity leaves me bawling. A day isn't complete without these roleplays. TPFF's character and originality amaze me. I mean, c'mon, who's got a more original character? No one. Jimmy Harmon's blunt humor and his things with Dave Dexter are great. By the way, is Gina available? Hehehe.
13. Dark Paine and Eldar Markovich: The Young Gunz...Dark Paine was the ORIGINAL "dark gimmick". I still love to read his roleplays, no matter how old they are. He was so innovative, it was amazing....Eldar, the ORIGINAL Extreme One, the Waffle, as some called him, was hillarious. He and JJJ made up the ORIGINAL Team, and were perhaps the greatest tag team in FWF history.
14. Bary Sparks and Chaos: Bary Sparks, the OTHER Hitman...A member of the PIMP Clan, and a former world champion. Bary was someone I looked to when I needed to cheer up, because his rps were always enjoyable to me....Now Chaos...what can I say. As the quote goes "Chaos gets the victory for this one, simply because I'm a Chaos mark". Hehehe...I'm a true mark for Chaos, because his style is so innovative and dynamic. His character is perfect to me, and his angles are unbelievable.
15. Maple Leaf: Maple Leaf aka Dark Leaf, was inducted into the Hall of Fame this year, and boy did he deserve it. I was never disappointed when I read those roleplays. In fact, he was one of the few that inspired me to become an e-wrestler, instead of just an observer. I'll always remember him and his two FWF World Title runs.
16. Brock Williams: Da Brocksta...Oh god, the fun we've had. The New Gunz that lasted for a week...Our one card feud...it was great, and so are you. In fact, you're my rolemodel in a way. You won the World Title despite having like 4 wins in your entire FWF career. Hahaha, you see Brock, we are alike.
17. Hamid Ismaili: The founder, and former President of FWF...Hamid was one of the best minds this game has ever seen. His talent for angles was uncanny and he always seemed to amaze the "viewing" public as a fed-head. He kept the FWF afloat for over a year and made sure that NO ONE, not even the fact that there were real wrestlers, held the FWF down.
18. Justin Sane: Justin Sane...well, I don't know whether this Sane guy deserved a spot here. There's so many others who should have had this spot. But, for all that voted for me, I'd like to thank you. I guess SOME people do like me.
19. Shaku Endbringer: While some call him boring and undeserving, he's proven to me that he deserves everything he's got, including this spot. While his rps are a bit LONG, they're still entertaining and very well worded. If you want to get into a verbal war with Shaku, be careful, he can turn nearly everything around. Hats off to the champ.
20. Mike Thomas: (courtesy of Jimmy Harmon)Mike Thomas is was known as the "Greatest Human Alive" a Canadian...he did it all in the FWF as far as feuds and stuff....great wrestler....What else to know? He was canadian.

Interview With MISSLE
Icon54321: Justin Sane
NoHypeNeeded: MISSLE
Icon54321: : Well, mr FORMER champion, welcome to Wave of the Future...the ONLY column worth reading!
NoHypeNeeded: : Heh, only column worth reading. Tyrone is more interesting than you are!
Icon54321: : Yeah, well...SCREW YOU TOO!
NoHypeNeeded: : Hah, Sane you just wish you were me....FOR 1 DAY!
Icon54321: : It'd be the worst day of my life.
NoHypeNeeded: : The best day of your measly life.
Icon54321: : My measly life has seen more excitement than you've seen fat chicks.
Icon54321: : And we all know that you are....
Icon54321: : The Fat Chick Thriller
NoHypeNeeded: : Fuck you. Sane, I've been compared to Dean Malenko's James Bond gimmick so many times.
Icon54321: : Oh, so a miserbaly attempt at validity?
Icon54321: : Or just boring?
NoHypeNeeded: : Man, you just don't understand what it's like to be cool.
Icon54321: : Because I am BEYOND cool.
NoHypeNeeded: : Ya right, your in another category of un-coolness. Let's called it "Robinism".
Icon54321: : Ooooh, and the Shaku bashing begins early.
NoHypeNeeded: : Hey, he wants us to comment on him....lol
Icon54321: : LOL, be kind Mr. Pepper.
NoHypeNeeded: : I'm a nice as I wanna be Mr....Uhhh....Irish Name....O'Brien?
Icon54321: : Griffin, you bastard. Why must everyone stereotype the Irish?
NoHypeNeeded: : I seriously forgot man. Irish men can drink!
Icon54321: : YA DAMN RIGHT WE CAN! My dad passed out around 3 PM on Saturday, woke up at 6 PM and started drinking again!
Icon54321: : WOOOOO!
NoHypeNeeded: : lol, well. That would take care of his hangover....Not his liver, but his hangover.
Icon54321: : LOL, his liver's shot. Harmon's reputation looks better.
NoHypeNeeded: : Hehe, as long as his looks aren't better, it's all good.
Icon54321: : Hahaha, well, weren't we here for a reason?
NoHypeNeeded: : You tell me
Icon54321: : Hmmm...
Icon54321: : I know it had something to do with Cyberslam.
NoHypeNeeded: : Oh ya, I think I have a match for that thing
Icon54321: : DAMNIT! That's the last time I buy weed from Harmon!
NoHypeNeeded: : No drug discussions in my interviews!
Icon54321: : INTERVIEW! THAT'S IT!
NoHypeNeeded: : Woohoo, Sane you genious
Icon54321: : You know, you're the first person to say that to me. Go figure.
NoHypeNeeded: : Well, I see the good in people. lol
Icon54321: : LOL, well, getting back to this Interview thing, and seeing how this is the Cyberslam Edition, what do you think about the lineup? Any special matches you're looking forward to? Note: Max vs. Ranma is not applicable.
NoHypeNeeded: : I'm looking forward to your match actually. I think it's prob one of the more underrated matches on the card.
Icon54321: : Along with the most underated wrestler in FWF...cough...SANE...cough...but anyway...besides the Main Event, and Ranma vs. Max, I'm really looking forward to the Starr and InKarnate matchup. This thing could be monumental.
NoHypeNeeded: : Damn right...even the tag match with Tons of Fun vs Money/Huntley I do believe, should be worth watching.
Icon54321: : Blubbamania 4 Life...BROTHA!
NoHypeNeeded: : Overall, I'm happy to be apart of the card. I think it's going to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest I've been on in, the close to 4 years I been in this game.
Icon54321: : Alright, well linking this, with the past, how do you feel the "transition" has gone from Old School with Goldman/Ismaili to New Wave with Marlow?
NoHypeNeeded: : Well....Since I'm one of the few who can remember way back when, it's quite a difference. Your clawing, and scratching your way just to be on more cards way back then, and now the cards are stuffed. The FWF has always been tough, from a roleplaying aspect. I still believe it is, but it's a little easier now to get your name known. I really enjoy the current FWF, this place is popping right now!
Icon54321: : Continuing, do you think that Cyberslam can put a final mark on the whole New Era, thing and finally show the "legends" that we can keep FWF at the top?
NoHypeNeeded: : I think that anyone who doesn't believe that the New Era can keep FWF #1, isn't paying much attention. We've definately got the talent to make a mark on the efed world for a long time to come. It's time for these people to realize that they either have to get with it, or get out and pass the torch. This is our time to shine on the biggest stage of all.
Icon54321: : Alright, now you've faced some of these "legends", what was it like? And how did it feel to beat a Hall of Famer, in Gary Brown to finally win the World Title?
NoHypeNeeded: : One of my first matches was against Dinkee Wreenkle (Spelling)....I'm not a big fan of his, then or now. But, I guess looking back it was alright. Ranma I've faced, and he's one of the nicest guys in efeds. Gary Brown, that was a thrill in a half to say I beat Gary Brown, the 4 time champ for the world title. That is something I won't forget.
Icon54321: : I don't think anyone could. Now, who do you see as the next challenge to the world title thrown?
NoHypeNeeded: : Hmmm....Good question.....JD Lawson, NRG, "Just" Sane....There's a few names in mind. I don't know about that "Justin" Sane guy though.
Icon54321: : He's a crafty guy though, I wouldn't doubt him.
NoHypeNeeded: : Ya maybe. Heard he's an admitted homosexual though
Icon54321: : I heard Matt Pepper was seen backstage with Homosexual Pesos and Jim Harper.
NoHypeNeeded: : Think you got your facts wrong....I heard he was in the back with....YOUR MOTHER!
Icon54321: : I...will...kill...you.
NoHypeNeeded: : lol
Icon54321: : But all jokes aside, how does it feel to Main Event Cyberslam?
NoHypeNeeded: : How does it feel to Main Event Cyberslam? It feels great man, it was one thing I thought I would never do. But, this is one of the last few goals I have in efedding now. On Sunday, that goal will be complete. Cyberslam is the biggest mother fucker of all. I can't wait.
Icon54321: : Well, then let's move on to the individual opponents...
Icon54321: : Chaos
NoHypeNeeded: : He's one of the most innovative efedders I know. I love to read his rps, they give you a certain sense of reality and illusion that no one else does. He's amazing man. Great guy and a good friend of mine. He in my opinion, when he is on his game, is the true MVP of the FWF.
Icon54321: : And the BIG one, Shaku Endbringer
NoHypeNeeded: : Hehe....Well, he's a descent roleplayer. Mr. Strat as I like to call him, always looking for the homerun in that department. But, he does come up with some original stuff, I will give him that. As a person. Hell, he's the biggest conceited asshole I know. I figure he must have a mirror beside his bed, cause that's the first thing he thinks of when he wakes up in the morning. Himself.
Icon54321: : Alright, well, now comes the part that I stole from everyone else...I name a name, you give me your HONEST opinion....ready?
NoHypeNeeded: : Ready
Icon54321: : NRG.
NoHypeNeeded: : Good roleplayer, I really enjoy his work. He mixes alot of comedy in there, and no narration. lol. Nice guy.
Icon54321: : InKarnate
NoHypeNeeded: : I don't really know him too well. I like his rps, I think he is going to end up being a big star.
Icon54321: : Jason Starr
NoHypeNeeded: : Good roleplayer, he'll be in Main Events eventually. I like the guy alot, we do well whether it's one on one or on a team. Get well Cody!
Icon54321: : I hope he catches those bastards.
NoHypeNeeded: : Me too. Bunch of pussies.
Icon54321: : Maximizer
NoHypeNeeded: : The Max! I think he's going to be a big time star. This match with Ranma, will really help him get up the ladder.
Icon54321: : Speakin of which, Ranma.
NoHypeNeeded: : Very, very smart guy. A rping machine since he's came back to the FWF. Joel's a good guy, I like him. He'll always be a star.
Icon54321: : Trent Storm
NoHypeNeeded: : The Paradigm. Another up and comer. Who I have no doubt in my mind, we'll see near the top some day in the future.
Icon54321: : JD Lawson
NoHypeNeeded: : Dyslexic man himself....Now there's a rping machine. You face him, be ready to rp every damn day. I enjoy his rps, and he's another cool guy within the FWF. He'll be up there as well soon enough.
Icon54321: : And Finally...Justin Sane
NoHypeNeeded: : Ah yes. Justin Sane. The ZERO time World Champion. The Man Who Can't! Ah, ya know we tolerate ya Saner. lol. Hang in there, and keep shooting for the stars. lol.
Icon54321: : You sound like a Hallmark card.
NoHypeNeeded: : Well, my mom does work in the card section at Shoppers Drug Mart.
Icon54321: : Haha...Well, sorry I have to cut this short, but time restrictions call. Thanks for coming.
NoHypeNeeded: : Anytime man. Thanks for having me.
Icon54321: : Good luck.
NoHypeNeeded: : You too!
