Thank you guys

[holzerman]

I know you guys are probably bummed out from losing in the Dupree Cup quarterfinals. It sucks, I know, but let me tell you, I had a hell of a time casting my votes.

I just wanted to thank you guys for consistently coming out and promoing steadily, being really one of two feds (MBE being the other) that never no-showed and was always enthusiastic for your matches. You don't know how much that means to me, and you don't know how much that added to the Dupree Cup experience.

Since you guys have given so much to the TEAM movement, both in the ToC and in the Dupree Cup, I'm going to give something back to you. TEAM will be introducing a third title at SuperShow III (in addition to the CoC that has been instated already and the FREE FOR ALL~! title that will be crowned at SuperShow II) called hte Challenge Title. I'm not going to give too many details about it now, but I will say that it will be TEAM's touring title, which means it will be defended on actual feds' shows instead of just at TEAM events. I will be granting the first Challenge Championship match to NAPW to be held on their flagship TV show, Tuesday Night Fights.

Thanks again you guys. I hope you're not discouraged by ducking out at this point, because I really appreciate having your support and your participation in TEAM events.

I just wanted to thank Holzerman for this shout-out and for the opportunity. Speaking for myself, working in the TEAM event was a blast, and a bit of a chance for me to stretch my writin' legs outside of the NAPW. Challenge Title, eh? Sounds interesting, and you can bet I'll be involved (if the hospital hasn't ground me beneath its wheels of lifesavingness).

Challenge Title? ... Consider me interested as well...

[Stylin' Kyle Roberts [REBEL]]

While I am disappointed that NAPW isn't going on to the rest of the Dupree Cup, I can completely understand your thoughts on this week, Tom. Ravager and Rees were both booked in hard-fought competitive matches.

I'll admit it, after the first week (which I've already talked about, but the less said about my discreetness the better), I had a few hours of "What's the point? We're down in the rankings." But honestly, that really just made me feel that I had something to prove come the second round. Not once did I feel like quitting, and I'm glad that the NAPW contingent felt the same way I did, because at that point, we could have left there no-showing and losing in a blaze of whatever is the opposite of glory. But we stuck it out, and had fun doing it.

I'd like to thank all my teammates in the Dupree Cup for giving what they had, even if they had other concerns going on at the time. Because, hey, to go from that week, to having a really good run through to the wild card was fun for Dev and I for sure.

Thanks to Tom for giving us this venue to roleplay against people I would have never known about before. It really gave NAPW the chance to shine outside of the bubble we've got going on here. Thanks to him also for supporting us the entire way through.

I had a whole lot of fun minus the minor blemishes, but that's of my own personal variety. We got a whole crew of NAPW through, with Rex, Rav, Lloyd, and both members of D-X making appearances. Wildly fun and I'm still convinced no other fed has anything on us.

It'll also be interesting if the Challenge Cup ends up coming here so the other fed can see exactly what our format is.

But full credit to everybody that worked hard for the event. Much fun.

[Ravager]

I have had a lot of fun in the three TEAM events I have participated in, and I look forward to future events. I tip my hat to everyone on team NAPW: Bickle, D-X, Rex, who had only one match but made an impact, and Rees, who stepped in for me when my life decided to smack me upside the head a few times, then lept back in when Bickle needed a week off. We did real good, and I think NAPW is only just beginning to show the e-fed world what we can do.
