Running the ZXWWF = ZX's Blog

[ZX]

• Friday - I left work and college today thinking that this was gonna be an awesome weekend since I'll get to see all you guys in your matches for 'Mania. I got to chat with some of you new users online along with doing some of the last few updates to the old ZXWWF site. After a while, I tell myself "screw this" after seeing how many profiles I have to either update or create. (laughs) In the midst of all this, I got the release letters ready with the help of some of my staff. Some of these members I hated to see go but I knew that you can't have dead weight lying around. I end the day getting the new ZXWWF to a satisfactory state and did some last updates to everyone's CAWs on all 3 of my memory cards. I simmed the first 2 matches of 'Mania before I went to bed.
  
• Saturday (afternoon) - After simming about 3 more matches, I come online to see quite a few members pissed off with each other about a chat that happened OOC Friday night while I was offline. One thing lead to the next and I lose one of my precious members. "That can't be helped. I'm not Superman I can't deal with everything that comes up." I tell myself. Then my stress from all this college work I got piling in along with this crap leads me to consider shutting this fed down. So I shut all the users out of the forums and lock the ZXWWF site. I stopped at that as I went to give myself a break from this fed for the next few days before I did something I would have regretted. The rest of the night I left my PS2 on in my room simming some more matches (as I did wanted to see who would win which matches) while me and a few buds played Guitar Hero II in the living room that they brought over.
  

To Be Continued..

• Sunday - After having an enjoyable night with my buds IRL playing Guitar Hero II, I decided to get online on YIM and spreed the word to the members on there from the fed about me thinking about shutting it down. FYI I don't get to regularly talk to them like the ones on AIM all the time. To my surprise, I get spammed by tons of reasons on why to keep it open. Most of them tell me this is the best fed they've been in and longest one they've stayed with. That's not the end of the shocks for me from these YIM users. Of all people, Lita IMs me and gives me some long and I must admit kinda respectable speech about this fed is "my work of art and my creation and I shouldn't throw away or destroy something I worked so hard to create." Damn, it's times like these when I hate having a soul or humanity (laughs). Her speech reminded me of a few years ago when I gave up being an artist after one dumb-ass professor I had. I gave up being an artist then b/c I believed and still do that being an artist doesn't come from a textbook. I guess the same can be applied here - this fed is my creation, something rather different than most feds out there and I plan to keep it going, not only for myself but for all the people who like it, especially my friend, T-Bone, who's still tuning in while he's on duty in Iraq. After this boast of confidence from the last person on Earth I thought I would get it from, me and Lita talk about her future in the company. We come down to the agreement that her and Jack Crazy take a month off to let the newbies get a firm start and give everyone else a break from her own personal antics. After that month, she re-debuts her character (after trashing that 'Icon' Lita one) and come back as a non-Lita rip-off. I originally planned to release her on the spot with the others for Monday but I wanted to fix my mistake from last season when I hired her and gave her the Undisputed title upon entry. Lita actually agreed with me on that's the reason no one respected her nor her character(s) and we agreed to this to take in effect tomorrow.
  
• Monday - Release Day - Among those is Damian Wilson. Oh boy this is dude is outraged. Wow, how could he be that shocked about it? Out of my own forgetfulness, I left the guest access to the forums open so the kid was spamming the boards wondering why he was banned and released. Reason why I banned him too: He has a habit of trying to re-register with another name or email so I blocked his computer altogether. Yes, ZX does know a few hacker and HTML skills. The kid still manages to try to bother me on Caws.ws too. Geez, blocked him there too. The last thing I heard from him was a PM saying "Real manly to release me by email." What was I supposed to do? Go to his house and say "You're fired!!" Really, he's a liar when he says he's 23. If that's true then my newborn cousin is 50. 'Mania and Mayhem results get posted and 'The Moron' Lita is outraged. For some odd reason, this chick thought that talk we had on was gonna secure her and Jack titles at 'Mania. No and hell no. Sorry I don't rig matches in this fed for anyone. The only exception to this is to help work a storyline over when the results simmed don't match with desired outcome for a storyline. Anywho, she totally goes back on her word on agreeing with me on a vacation. She totally goes over the line and tries to tell ME what match is happening this week and how who'll win. I told her ass off so bad and gave her an ultimatum: take a fuckin' mandatory vacation and cool her jets off. After I send her this PM, Jack IMs me on AIM to ask nicely can he quit. I tell him it's not a problem and we end that on good terms. Less than an instant that ends, two staff members tell me what Lita posted on the boards after deleting her account and Jack's which ends with "Fuck You Zero". In the immortal words of Bender, Lita you can bite my shiny metal ass. That's all I got to say about that chick. People can't say I wasn't nice about it as I gave her a lot of chances...too many to be exact. What still kills me is Jack and her IM me afterwards asking for other feds to join. I recommended VWE, no offense to those guys but its rather strict to get in there. Even if she does get in there, her and Jack's CAWs will be nerfed as they got a lot of powerhouse moves.
