Danger had to take a week off following
the PPV. But the ACWF was riddled
with crybabies, and over half the roster quit after the PPV.
As a result, Danger was forced to shut down the ACWF.
Caldera left the company undefeated, and still wearing the gold.
It was just before ACWF shut down that I got an IM from someone named
Nathan. It seemed that someone from
the ACWF (it turned out to be the infamous 8-Ball) had used my e-mail address to
send him an application. Nathan
asked me if I had sent in an app, and I said no.
He then tried to recruit me, but I said I had my hands full. But then I thought about it.
And I realized how much fun it would be to write and book.
I asked Nathan if he had a job in that area. . . Two seconds later, I
became Commissioner Caldera of the CWU.
Nathan was a decent writer, and an excellent web designer. But he just flat out didn’t have time to run a fed.
When Commissioner Caldera showed up, he instantly became hated (on
camera) and loved (OOC). Commissioner Caldera began to take things over, and we had a
storyline planned where eventually Nathan and Caldera would fight for control of
the company. . . Caldera would lose, be forced to resign, and I would return to
CWU as an active wrestler. But
Nathan disappeared, and our plans were scrapped. Commissioner Caldera took over full booking and writing
responsibilities. But there was one
problem. . . I had no fu**ing clue how to work a website.
No HTML knowledge at all. A
few guys offered to help, but Nathan wasn’t around to give out the passwords.
So we had to run the entire fed from the boards.
This was fine, in retrospect. We
figured we’d hold out until Nathan returned to bail us out.
But then we had a problem.
The boards filled up. With
no way to delete old posts, the old ones reappeared with new posts, and the
interview board was abandoned. We
had to run the whole fed from the OOC board.
Not fun.
Then one day I got another random IM. This guy was former CWU champion Kurt Richards, someone who had first carried the fed, then left it due to differences with Nathan. He offered to build a new website, but Nathan had come back and promised to clean up the one we had that night. I gave Nathan three hours to show, then I asked the other guy to build a new one. Nathan didn’t show, and a new CWU website showed up.
