(08-13-2019, 05:33 AM)The Truth Said: Sorry but this has to be said. I know I can't say this as me or I'll probably be banned and mocked. But, since I came back and have been around again it's a shame to see fellow originals jumping on the bandwagon and acting like these boards (not even a real site) can hold a candle to the original fed or the real Uni champs that have been erased from history. You all know why the title changed hands more often before, because the roster was stacked. Any of those names you brought up would murder the current champ and that's just the truth, not meant to be offensive. But I'm offended by the notion that anyone is treating this as the real XWF or real Uni. Why did any of us come back again? To put over the new era? Robert Main has had 1 real challenge (CCP) and Main winning is highly questionable to anyone who read the work. But we praise him? Come on guys. Now he's posting about how he thinks he belongs in the top 50. SMFH Well how about do us a favor and just take out all the names from the past so he and everybody who posts anything today can go in, regardless of talent. The way these new kids on the block hold the titles so long is a testament to the state of the roster now and the better part of the last decade. And it's not good. Not to mention how the roleplay rules have been rearranged to hold people down who have a life. Hopefully the people who matter see this before it gets deleted by the police.

I don't think it's about any era being better or worse than any other- I certainly don't find it offensive that this is seen as a continuation of the XWF of old. There are common elements still present and the recent works being done on the XX show and the show libraries show that there is still most definitely a connection to the XWF history.

Things have changed, absolutely, but that's not specific to this era - people from 1999 would see 2003 as a totally different ball game, and 2003 to 2006 was different again. Titles have come and gone, people have come and gone, styles and rules have changed and adapted with the times. That's not even an efed-specific thing, WWE changes over time as well. Ultimately even in the 'good old days' there were people who felt things were terrible compared to a specific previous era. I promised myself I wouldn't be one of those people back then, and I want to stand by that now.

Ultimately everybody here is having fun under the XWF banner, and I'm happy to see that continue and think we should encourage that and encourage people doing well. That's more important than us yelling at clouds because a few things are not as they once were.
