We'd Only Just Begun

Wow this is pretty shocking to me and I'm sorry to see this place go. I had such a great time immersing myself in this wonderful world you all had built here. To our brilliant booker I thank you so much for always hearing me out. I really hope I wasn't too difficult to work with and I'm very appreciative for the role you were able to help me carve out here for Bo. You're a phenomenal match writer and you constantly had me on the edge of my seat reading matches.

Thanks to the awesome community of players here. There wasn't a single person who I went to with an idea that wasn't receptive. I enjoyed blending your creative ideas with my own to create storylines. Since everyone is giving a little insight into what they had planned for their characters I'll do the same. I was planning on using Bo's upcoming loss to Jerry and subsequent split from Berry as a catalyst to finally turn him heel. I was then hoping to have feuds with Marcus Allen Jones and The Queendom (I know it would be heel on heel but Bo naturally clashes with them just because they cheat a lot and he's all about his House Rules). I would've loved to have eventually seen him clash with a World Champion Jace Mason. I'm definitely more than a bit bummed that there are so many stars Bo never got to have a proper feud with.

Finally, I can't end this without thanking my partner in crime Veglee? Veglizzo? Veggie man? Sheesh who's name is hard to pronounce now eh? You were a big help to me from day one. I was looking for someone to have a match with Bo when he first got here to help legitimatize him and you let me write Jerry in that unsanctioned match. Ever since then our characters have continued to cross paths in interesting ways and you honestly kind of became a crutch here for me. I would use world elements you established such as Jilly's and I'd have playful interactions with Fozzie. I know we both appreciated the unique relationship between Jerry and Bo of how Bo would never see Jerry like everyone else does and they'd always kind of dislike each other but they also had a professional respect for each other. And the character arc with Berry and Bo was probably the most fun and best storytelling I did during my brief year here. So thanks, you're a rockstar bro and don't ever change!

Well I guess this is goodbye but before I go I'll just throw it out there that if there are any players here looking for another efed I happen to operate one. There are a bunch of extremely talented players here in FPW that any efed would be lucky to have, that's all I'm saying. Deuces guys, it's been real

Aw, you sonuvabitch, well played turning the name thing around. And tip of the hat to you as well embracing the storylines with Berry and Jerry as they evolved.

I think I might have even asked to work Jerry with Bo when he first arrived since Bo was following a code of beliefs that clashed with Jerry's. Jerry didn't like Bo because he felt Bo never cared for what the audience thought period, and from my perspective, Bo didn't like Jerry because he cared too much about what the audience thought and that led him astray. I really liked the relationship they built up, and I would've loved to see that final blowoff singles match down the road. Would it have ended with a show of respect? Would it end with a cold shoulder? Who's to say? But I really liked those last few promos where Bo started calling Jerry out from his perspective, and how it continued the slow-burn of their tension even after everything.

And I really appreciate you embracing Berry's innate silliness and purity, even if it was at Jerry's suggestion. It helped her become a better competitor and it helped Bo loosen his House Rules a bit. Berry's always fun to write, especially since I transferred Jerry's "cartoon powers" to her, but giving her a "straight man" to bounce off that wasn't Dasha added so much to her personality. Dasha became the sister she always wanted and never had (don't worry, that will be resolved, hopefully soon), and Bo became the trusted friend she never got to find before.
