Thisyeari went back to the beginning of REW and looked over who did what and managed to bring it down to two people that have helped mold REW into what it is today. i looked for they pro's and they con's trying to pick just one but as much as i tried i always find myself second guessing myself so it's another first for REW this year two people are being entered into the Hall Of Fame and to induct them....
First to induce the inductee he is our very first and lead runner of the hall of fame The Disciple Blake Worship and the second to induct our second inductee is last years hall of fame The Real Deal T Money.

Really? Wow...no wonder moral is shit. it clearly should have went to JMW or Aaron...or someone who stayed active throughout the year who acually put forth the effort continueously to do so. Sorry if it was real life issues that took him out (i don't know for sure) but that's what happens...life.
Hmm, Jayson Ray...i guy who may have been active alot before...but i've seen nothing from except a "hey here I am"
Right...congrats ray...enjoy it.

Thanks for the protest on my behalf, and I'll even say this year I feel the same way, when I heard there was to be 2 men I automaticly thought the same, JMW and Myself...
However like most Hall of Fames, it's not always current people the get inducted...look at the WWE hall of fame and how long its took some of the greatest wrestlers of all time to just now be inducted in the last few years.
I've said time and time again, my sole reason for coming to REW was to face their best and hands down at that time it was Jayson Ray. Granted he hasn't done shit this year, the biggest thing was getting seated in a commish position after coming off of hiatus that as we all know never happened.
But there is bound to be a solution to it maybe? Perhaps in the upcoming years induct one former person and one present? Induct more people? Because of the turnover rate they use to have Posh actually came up with a decent system in MWEW where he would induct people into the HoF throughout the year, somewhere between every 3 to 6 months. It was a system I considered using in my own feds as well, people talk about Legend status and what they've done...well I was going to have a scoring system for it. If you simply strived and were good enough to be inducted you'd have a star added to your name.
So yes, I was shocked to see it for this year but I won't deny that for what Jayson has done he indeed deserves it. Just in the same light I deserved to be in the MWEW HoF and was once upon a time before Posh took my name from the list.
I think the best we can do, if everyone of majority of the folks here feel the same way is improve the system.

Aaron Holiday has a point, I like the fact that we should try to improve the system of the inductee's when it comes to the HoF. I mean we can grow from each others ideas and that is a pretty good idea. I am actually backing Holiday holy shit the world is coming to an end, everyone is going to die.
On a serious note though I think that people that put forth the effort should have something in return. I mean that is just me, not turning on anyone its just my opinion is all. I mean REW is my home but we need a little change in some places even at your home.
That is all I have to say but congrats Jayson Avery Ray..[/size][/color]

Well...I have to say I thought my induction into the Hall of Fame would be more joyous but alas is bittersweet. For everyone who doesn't know, real life took me so far out of the game that I wasn't even participating in real life anymore. I had alot of issues going on and alot of them are still going on and are probably only going to get worse if the lord doesn't have my back.
That being said though, I am thankful for the nod to join T Money and Blake Worship in the Hall of Fame. I have been here since the company opened up and slugged it out many a times with the other two men that are in the hall.
LOL, and Freak, Avery isn't Jayson's middle name. It's Anton.

And not trying to take anything away from you Jayson, you are one of the accually GOOD roleplayers here and deserve the spot...but maybe back in 2009? And like I said in my first reply to this, you were gone because of real life issues...nothing against you there...real-life takes presedence over this bullshit.
But, how fair is it that, despite the reasoning behind it, that someone who is gone for a good portion of 2010...wins the 2010 hall of fame over a couple people who were steadily active...good...and a major part of this "company"?
Yeah..Holiday or JMW will win the HoF eventually...in 2012? 13? When all the closest friends are in? Im sorry...call me an asshole if you want...but this is my honest to god views over this issue..and there needs to be major discussion on some matters before future plans are put forth into motion any further. This crap, "once again...nothing against you jayson", is bullshit. And please...if your thinking of doing it now...don't put Aaron and JMW into the HoF now because I said something or called bullshit. Put them in because they fucking dserve it because despite what arguement may come...have been the fucking backbone of this place for quite some time.

First things first...
The other co-recipient of this year's HoF inductions is, like last years' inductee, a student of mine. Arguably, my best student, some might say. I've watched him grow from an anxious card-opener to an ambitious mid-carder to a perennial main-eventer over his career, and some of his best feats were accomplished right here in REW. Probably his greatest is his 4-month World Heavyweight Title reign, a streak only second to this fed's longest World Title reign of 6 months, held by myself. His accomplishments have not gone unnoticed, and even if he is gone from the ring, he will always be remembered as one of this fed's greatest ringers. He is none other than the Soldier 1st Class, Cloud Strife. Congratulations, Cloud.
Now, on a separate note. I'm not going to beat around the bush in who this is directed to, I'm talking to Dreamer. I have to say, I'm just the slightest bit disappointed. You are entitled to your feelings and no one is discounting that, but this subsection of the boards is for the sole purpose of acknowledging our ringers for their contributions to the fed, not for airing grievances on the manner in which they are chosen, voted on or inducted.
As far as the HoF inductions go, I think people seem to be a bit confused as to its merits. Scotty's system is a yearly induction. That does not, however, mean that he is inducting whoever performed the best in 2010 or whatever year it might be. That, my friends, is what the title "Wrestler of the Year" is for. On the contrary, HoF inductions stretch back from the fed's beginning up to now and of all those who have been on its roster choosing who is the most accomplished and revered.
Frankly, the year does not matter. People such as Holiday and JMW are indeed deserving and will undoubtedly take their place in the HoF in due time. But in a discussion between either them or ringers like Jayson Ray or Cloud Strife, who, though they are now inactive, have still maintained longer careers than any other worthy candidates and have done just as much to keep this fed alive in their own rights if not more than a Holiday or a JMW, the choice becomes a bit more clear.
So please, let's not demean these awards any further than we have already with more negative talk. This year's inductees have given their time to this fed, more than any currently active ringer has. And their accomplishments go without saying. Our memories should not be so short-term as to dwell only on this year's ringers and forget the ones that came before them, the ringers who MADE this fed what it is right now. If anything, it would be disrespectful to induct those who came after them before them. Not because they are in fact "friends" of the management, but because they truly earned it. If they don't deserve to be inducted now, then I ask, when?
Any other questions, comments, problems, concerns or anything else regarding this thread that isn't a "Congratulations" would be better suited for a PM to the proper inbox or the OOC board. Let's get back to appreciating our ringers of old, shall we?
Thank you.

Sirius, I really appreciate the vote of support and confidence, but I have no problem with Cloud and Jayson getting their time in the sun. They have worked hard for this fed at some point or another, and have storied careers that deserve acknowledgement. Our time will come. Now it's their time, and to both I wish a congratulations, and hope to see you around again. And good luck with what ails you, Jayson.
