Ladies and gentlemen, my name.... is Joel Rosenberg.

At least it would have been had I not been able to strike a deal with Sid in order to keep going with the Heyman pic base. Dual pic bases are cool in XWF, but at the time, Shane wasn't cool with a GM sharing a pic base with someone on the same roster. Sid and I struck a deal that allowed him to use Heyman at will in his posts as Brock, while I used Heyman as the GM. I did this because Heyman was crucial to the character I was going to portray. This was at a time that even I wasn't to interested in seeing real wrestlers in our creative fed world.

You ALWAYS must remember one thing. In our world, the XWF exists alongside WWE, TNA or whatever other shitty fed exists out there. So the occasional real character coming to the XWF would not be unthinkable. Had it not been for that rule change, no Brock, no Heyman, no Madness as we know it today.

Joel Rosenberg was no where near what I've become as Heyman, and likely never would have. Creativity is creativity, whether you're using real people or characters you made up in your head.

And to be completely 100% honest, there's no such thing as an original idea. Everything we do, everything we write has been done or been inspired by something or someone else. It's all in what you do with it.

My name... is... Joel Rosenberg.

Doesn't really have the same ring to it, does it?
