In your own mind anyway . . . and why . . .
1. Heartbreak Meyers - After I had the opportunity to face HBM in CWA, I made a statement that said he was a major dick and that's exactly why he's the best. HBM is really the only role player that has ever been able to make Pat Martin upset. And for that I gave and give him THE spot.
2. Jackylfan - I think this character is way underrated because he didn't show up in a lot of different places, yet a legend of TWF/CWA. I was never able to beat Jackylfan and the reason was, I just wasn't posting the better role plays. I knew it. I wish he were still around.
3. Big Red Scare - I'll give the man his due. Though I feel as a person Jim Harper turned his back on me, I also believe he used BRS to revolutionize e-wrestling in the FWF circle. The proof is in the putting and as far as FWF and TWF/CWA go . . . this guy is a legend.
4. Jimmy - Jimmy became the FWF World Champion at a very young "age" and it was during the Dave Dexter/BRS/Gravestone-FWF/CWA fiasco that split our circle in two. At that time I made a statement that the FWF was now throwing the World Title on people in reference to Jimmy becoming champ. Dave Dexter later called me on it and I had realized how bad it sounded. I didn't mean it that way, honestly. But for the record . . . Jimmy was good. He was real good and as far as being FWF World Champ goes . . . deserverance is his.
5. Jason Hartnell - But, "he was the world champion of his own fed". Ok . . . I thought he was great then and I still thought he was great when he came to the FWF and won that title too. I've always thought of Hartnell as the heel version of Brent Kersh and cherish the competitions we had against each other. People will argue this one . . . but I put him the group.
Honorable Mentions go out to Dave Dexter who I feel would have possibly ended up being the greatest ever had he not wasted his time making the FWF greater than it ever was or ever would be and also Andrew Davis who I think is responsible for a lot of the role playing style we see today.
I know there's a ton of names out there, but these are the guys that come to mind as I scroll down my history of matches. So I'll go with my initial gut feeling.
Let's hear it . . .

1. GRAVESTONE: I always and I mean ALWAYS respected Gravestone as a roleplayer, basically every time I read a roleplay of his, I instantly believed that "Undertaker" was controlling everything lol. He was good with the mind games and a very good trash talker.
2. Brent Kersh: No I'm not a suck up, I had to roleplay against him several times, sometimes he'd come out on top, sometimes my other character would. NO matter what, Kersh was fun to roleplay against, IF you could stay awake through his entire roleplay (just kidding) He respects people OOC and that makes him a great guy, never whined, never complained (unless obviously deserved)
3. Missle: Theres NO HYPE NEEDED when it comes to Missle, some may not agree with me and I don't really care, Missle was a good roleplayer and always had a good storyline going, he'd keep me entertained weather or not I cared about what was going on with his character at the time. Missle was one of those guys you just had to work hard to beat, no matter what.
4. Dan "Krunch" Pandora: Hotheaded, crazy, innovator of the glass bat. Except for his "brother" I don't think there was anyone more hardcore than Krunch, he would make any opponent go "OH FUCK" when they saw they would be facing him. Krunch had a style that many tried to copy but no one could be him.
5. Dave Dexter: Dex was the man, just about every time I read a Dex roleplay I came out thinking "What the heck is he gonna do next?" He deserves to be one of the top 5 of all time.
Honorable mentions
Serious roleplayers: BRS, HBM, FIL, and JJJ
Comedic roleplayers: NRG, GOOFBALL, The Polish Frenchfry, Andy Davis
Gothic roleplayers: Ricky Conway, Chaos, Ranma Saotome.
Theres a few guys that could easily be number 5 but I thought Dex deserved it

Here comes the BEEF
Brett Myers is overrated. Not because I didn't like the guy but because I wore him clean the fuck out in the BTW. Besides I have seen people go after it with much more passion than him and most of the time he just quit if he didn't have the top spot.
1. Beld Painkiller- Ask Dex ask BBMT ask Pat, ask any old timer who they would never want to feud with and it was Beld. He won the WWC when it was Mano- A -Mano, and in the process he ligitimized a fed.
2. Dustin Iler- Dispite advanced degrees in english he kept it simple and easy to follow while dominateing the game. Dustin is a tough opponent as he rises to the levewl of those faceing him
3. Rob Blondie- He has the single quickest tounge in the business. At his peak he could make a man cry with his quick witt
4. AD (Iceman Dylan Jones and such)- Nuff said.
5. Thomas Lane- No one did a better crazy guy. I copied his style for a while when I first started to RP. I loved his work
Honorable mentions
Jade Diamond - DRAMA!!!!!!!!
BBMT
Jack Bone

Post by Eno Redrum on Jul 17, 2008 19:44:39 GMT -5
1. Eno Redrum - Just when you think Eno has made a turn and gone from insane to sane, you find out that it is just another long dark corridor in the house of horros that is Eno Redrum.
2. Dragzilla - To be so femine and prissy, Dragzilla has yet to taste defeat (although I am sure HE/SHE has tasted a few things we would not want to go into. Unique and strange, Dragzilla never disappoints with HE/SHE's flare for the insane and funny.
3. Psycho Bunny - Much like Dragzilla, Psycho Bunny has a taste for the odd. Everytime I read something from Psycho Bunny, I feel I have just taken a bad acid trip.
4. Kingpin - This character has grown into a monster from what he used to be in the early days. He is the true definition of big wig when it comes to the corporate style approach he uses. The three of us (Ray, Marcus and myself) who write for Kingpin all see him in a different light, but always seem to find a common ground to tie it all together.
5. Desmond "The Sexxx Symbol" Baggs - Again, a bit of Dragzilla mixed in here, but it always seems like a drug enduced fantasy when I read something from Marcus' "B" List of characters.
Honorable Mention
Every character that makes up Juggernaut ENT.
Okay, that was just for shock value. Seriously, my Top 5 are below.
1. Marcus T 2. Dustin Iler 3. Old Man Reeves 4. Rob Blondie 5. Jade Diamond

1. B.R.S - he helped me mature in ewrestling, all the while abusing me in his role plays.
2. Polish French Fry - I laughed and laughed and laughed.
3. Brent Kersh - (brownie points.) In all honestly, when TCW TExas division was going on, I loved the role plays cause they where nothing glamours. Everyone called him a dull cause of this, but that dull attiude is what gave it a different feel.
4. Dustin Iler - A quick tounge never hurts in efeding.
5. Rob Blondie - He is an amazing role player, to be honest he is the only person I have ever lost to and never have any wins against.
honorable mentions.
Gravestone - ONly in the IWA, when his role plays shorten from two pages to a half. It made him that much mroe potent, to a point he beat HBM and that started a flame war on the ooc boards. At first we hated each other, but toward the end we where on cool terms.
HBM - I kept him off my top five cause like Kingpin, I thought he was over rated, and we had a lot of bad blood between the both of us.
Adam Young - Call me crazy, but for what it's worth, he never changed his style, he always stands his ground come hell or high water. I think I just got more repsect for his attitude rather than his role play ability.
Don J - When he handled Dickie Wreekley (did I spell that right?) I laughed my ass off.
Roccoo - Back in 97, he was a heel in the IWA and he showed me how to create cheap heat.
Jack Bone - The Bone Supremacy... enough said.
As you can see I did not place any of Juggernaut ENT. We know where we stand with one another.
And Patrick, has far as your comments about Jimmy... how far off beat was it? If you are not going to take it "that way" that everyone else will, i will stand by those comments.
And we both know with so many young, egotistical kids running the show that split was coming WAAAAY, ahead of time. This was just the event that had pushed it over board. Funny how it realign every fucking thing, including BRS over to TCW or TWA, and Gravestone in the much hated IWA. We, as a group, killed the family with all the feuding.
Also... HBM said the same thing as you, only he did not get flamed cause they expected him to say something along those lines. I remember when Jimmy first came in and he was cool as shit, then when he started to winning he became a totaly different person, that is why I hated him. It was like that kid in EEWF named Brak, they go to the FWF with a lot of heat, win the world title and get big headed. Just my take..

I'm not for sure what yer asking me about my comments on Jimmy . . . but when I said it . . . it was in a role play and it was AS part of the in character heat between the two sides. I guess I never really meant it to be a personal jab at Jimmy or the FWF . . . but I can agree that by saying during the time I did, it would definitely be understood that way. Know what I mean Verne?

Yea I knew exactly what you where talking about, I just didn't make myself more clearer.
What i was saying "no matter how you meant it, i was going to take the negative aproach to it, cause to me it was true." It was the truth, if it was not the truth then nothing would have been said at the time.
It is obvious some one was thinking the same thing, only with the opposite intent, in order to say something to you. You see what I'm saying? Your intent was one thing... but I was happy it was recieve in another way, cause it was needed to be said.
I hope that made more sense.

I've pretty much exlusively RP'd in the TWF so I only have a top five TWF E-fedders:
5. Desmond Stohler- I don't think I ever would've worked with the man, but he always knew how to angle himself in on the Heavyweight title. Even when his character had no business anywhere near it, he still managed to get a title shot. Incredible.
4. Jade Diamond- Travis made Jade an absolute elitist. He had a way of sounding really sophisticated and absolutely smarter, better, and more important than your character. He could run a storyline from start to finish and was always putting out PPV work every single week.
3. Jaimie Krenshaw- Always wanted a ligitimate feud with him, but he disappeared right when we were supposed to go toe to toe. He played the perfect cocky, scumbag and I have to admit Tomas Luger coming off as almost a half a rip off of him at times. He was decepitvely strong.
2. Bad Boy Marcus T- Marcus can't spell, but still won TWF Heavyweight gold time and time again despite that fact. That means his content was incredibly potent and he has some of the deepest, most controversial, and even most accurate things to say. Even if he was in an even match up, or in the rare case overmatched, he still RP'd as though he was going to blow past you. And you believed he was right every time. That's powerful writing.
Dustin Iler- The guy really was the smartest e-fedder to ever play the game. He knew what tactic to use and when. His plans were always well thought out and followed through with precision. He was fearless and peerless and could provide instant heat to anyone he mentioned in passing in a segment. He could then crush you and steal all your momentum in his next breath. His spit was really worth more than your words.

Top 5
1.Racky Wreenkle-No matter what he was always in line for the TWF World title and he was the orginial little Dictator. He's stuff is to quote Christian Cage, a Instant Classic.
2.TXO Inc.-These guys made me want to be a tag team.
3.Marcus T-Used everything he could to get a win or help a angle out.
4.Doomsday-This is a man most of you do not know but he's the reason I got into this game in the first place.
5.Desmond Stohler-The man who gave me the name Unpredictable.
My ratings are not soley based on titles but on how they helped play out angles.

Top 5 Eh? Okie dokie, im doing this in reverse tho so yeah. Some of these might be more about the feud that the wrestler(s) but it works. Not to mention the final one might seem a little shocking coming from me but hey bear with me.
5. Busta Byrd and Gravestone(tie): Ok im making my list for different reasons, and this was the feud that got me hooked on this game for the first time. You take two great roleplayers(for their age there were better later but in their prime psh) and let them do what they will and you had magic. These two lit up the rp boards with some real gems back in the day, and they deserve the spot for the same reasons. They knew how to tell a story in ewrestling back when people were just starting to get the idea.
4. Da Bomb and The Jagged One(Dave Dexter and JJJ): Ok yes I know one of them is my brother so im a little biased but not that much. Lets be honest, the hey day of the FWF before the end came was started by one single feud, brought together by arguably the greatest combo of rp styles I have ever seen. These were the two who in a WWC tourney scored 300-299 in a tournament filled with legends and future legends. It was a feud of people who kept readers wanting more, and really either of them could carry dead weight to a decent feud if they wanted to. Back when FWF needed a boost in the right direction they gave it to them, and I dont think many will disagree.
3. HBM: Ok some people dont like him, you know thats ok he has always been cool with me, but you cant argue with his impact. For a long time even with Gravestone and others around he was the measuring stick for what roleplayers wanted to be. Whether you liked his rps, or couldnt stand them, or whether you liked him personally or not you cant really deny his place here.
Now going in a new direction....
2. Founders of the EEWF(Crow and uhhhh I forgot his name im sure Crow will add it in for me later): E-wrestlers in my opinion are not only limited to those who rp or run angles with others. The owners and those who run the sites are as much e-wrestlers as any of us. They do the work that no one else will, and sometimes they are hated for it but it gets done. Crow and *insert name here* held together this fed for a long time, and gave me my start. They ran head to head with Goldmans FWF for years before burn out, and drama finally brought it to an end. They have to be given their due for being the "other" fed for so long, and keeping the rpers wanting more with their angles, and their competitiveness as well.
Ugh I cant believe I am going to say this, and I hate even having to admit to it, but really no one else deserves the spot.....
1. Justin Goldman: Arguably the most hated, despised, and insulted man in all the years I have been in ewrestling. He is the man who took the FWF in its prime with everything going for it, with people looking forward and closed it with no warning. Instead of working through an issue he literally took his ball and went home destroying the work of so many others in the process. However there is no one and I do mean no one who deserves to be here more than he does. When FWF was ewrestling he was the FWF. He ran with the FWF into unparalleled success, where even today I see people when talking about efeds mention the FWF. These are people who were never members, never wrote an FWF rp, and they remember. Justin like it or not made all of this happen, and while he did occasionally rp, really he was as much an ewrestler as any of us.
*shudder* ugh I feel so.... dirty now. i'll post my honorable mentions later.

Post by Rob Blondie on Jul 21, 2008 9:42:14 GMT -5
First off, I greatly appreciate even being mentioned in anyone's list. That's very humbling. Thanks, guys!
My list is mostly limited to those who played the game int eh TWF or DCW since that's where I spent most of my time.
5. Jack Bone - I really did not like the Jack Bone style when I first read it...yet it slowly started to interest me. BY the time DCW ended, I had become a fan of the writing and the stories they told. I truly had hoped to have him in the TWF, but alas he only did a one shot.
4. Marcus T- Marcus is on this list for two reasons...Black Smith and Psycho Bunny. Psycho Bunny is one of my favorite characters. He's funny, uncomfortable to read sometimes, and different than most everything out there. Black Smith was a serious, but well thought out and written character.
3. Chris F-B- I was never a fan of Racky Wreenkle, but I cannot deny Chris's grasp of his character and his writing was always top notch. He cut near perfect promos and I respected his work.
2. AD- anyone can tell you it's extremely hard to write a true babyface character. Most usually tend to lean toward attitude era style, but AD made Dylan Jones a true old school babyface and made it entertaining.
1. Dustin Iler- If Dustin ran a real fed, I would buy every PPV. Aside of his mind for angles, he could cut the sharpest promo you could ever read. The fact I was able to beat him at all (though, he whipped me two-fold) is an honor. I truly wish he was stilla round because I would consider bringing Rob out of retirement just to be around.
Honorable mentions:
Kingpin- Honestly, I used to dread reading Ray's rolplays....then, he started really improving week in and out...I was amazed by his turn around. He was writing biting promos and was building a solid gimmick. By the time we formed an impromptu angle, I became a big fan. I'm glad my last major angle with Rob as a wrestler was with Kingpin. It was rock sold with a rock solid handler.
Don...aka Luger and AK- I really wonder how far he could have gone with AK in the TWF had it been in it's hey-day. No disrepect to Luger the character, but to me AK was the stronger of the two that would have gotten him a TWF Hall of Fame career if things had been different.
Kevin- aka multiple characters but mostly Eno Redrum and Dragz...This has little to do with Dragz, though I always saw the character as an XXX rated (is there a higher rating than xxx?) version of Sterling Silver, but done better and smarter. For me, Eno Redrum's original story arc was amazing. Kevin's mesh of some his real life and the creativity he has made an awesome character, flawed with good and bad qualities, but can't seem to find his balance. A solid character from a solid role player.
Now, anyone have the guts to give their top 5 most overrated handlers? huh? I dare you! lol

I know I haven't been around as long as some of you, but I'll take a crack at a list.
1. Dustin Iler. Only one time did I come close to beating him for the TWF World title. I think I came within a half point or one point from it that time. All other times, he stomped me and really beat everyone.
2. Rob Blondie. Awesome character and always had something to say to everyone. Definitely my favorite actor
3. Heartbreak Myers. Love him or hate him, he was always near or at the top.
4. Jamie Krenshaw. Just another great. Classic stuff everytime he put out a promo.
5 (tie). Kingpin and Dr. Midnight. I can't think of anywhere they didn't dominate.
Honarable Mention:
Marcus T, The team of Feature Presentation. Lobo, and Odin
