You know, I tried to be a face, but I can't. Seems like a role better heelin' it up. Some people just have a knack for being heels. Plus, it's easier to write for a heel, because you don't have any restrictions.

I don't really know how in going as a heel at the moment. I'm having fun but the promo I feel are coming off as repetitive and unnatural. But maybe im just being over critical because I've been a staple face for so many years

That's when the promos finally felt natural.

Yeah, it does help that im teamed up with such good heels and against some natural faces...

I know that wasn't your initial intention I think I was more tweener then anyway. I went after everybody. The Family was my first feud here and that started a week before you joined. Plus, I got a fun match with Cthulhu and one of the longer Hardcore Title runs out of it. So I really can't complain.

But maybe im just being over critical because I've been a staple face for so many years I'm in the opposite camp, I've been heel and had such a structure to my promos for ages that it feels so werid to have the freedom to not have to think of 3 new nicknames and a way to slide them in

I don't know. In the real business, I've heard that when you've got a feud between two guys who are actually friends in real life--such as Orton and Cena in WWE, or Kevin Steen and El Generico in ROH--that's when things can get really good. When you've got two guys who legit hate one another feuding, it can really f*** things up, perhaps the best example being Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. And honestly, I don't get what the hate's about. Did this really start over Square accusing Whitey of gimmick infringement, or is there more to it than that? I was trying to do a bit of a change of character and go down a rich jerk route and I just started the HHM with the story of I paid Amigo to team with me, just as I started to take the pedal of the gas in mentioning the gimmick in every promo Whitey came along after this "LEGEND RETURNS" month promo thing (which not one person predicted it would be him, not because it was a suprise more the "legend" part) and was a BILLIONAIRE REDNECK! Who was starting his own team! So yeah I was angry. Also me and Starshine dropped the tag belts to him and TTS, and I was annoyed at that. Not because of dropping the belts and not to TTS who is quite possibly the funniest person to ever grace these boards and this e-fed but to a guy in Whitey who just seemed to put no effort into it at the time whilst working with TTS and TheSam which could have been awesome but alas no. That was the first time my computer died. Having a wife and kids, excuse me for not being able to rush out and fix it that same day. And for the last time I waqsn't stealing your gimmick. As several other people said when you threw your hissy fit,you made it very hard to even tell what your gimmick was.

I don't know. I'm trying to think of what I would do if somebody came along and cut a promo similar to the first one I did. Something like "My name's Christopher Blood, and yes, that's actually the name on the birth certificade. It's also the real last name of an overrated so-called 'legend' who decided to water down his image and call himself 'Ricky Steamboat' instead." I don't think I'd get as angry about it as you did. I'd address it in a promo, I might say "Well, look at what just walked into the WWCF! Some guy who wants to be me! Not that this is real shocking in itself--I mean, who wouldn't want to be me--but really man, changing your name? That's getting a little bit stalker-y, don'tcha think?"We could've gone on to feud, and I don't think there'd be any real hard feelings. I think that you and Whitey could have done something similar, because sometimes rich people tend to try to one-up each other, and that could have been turned into an angle. It could have been as simple as bragging about who was richer and more influential the same way other guys brag about who's tougher or better in the ring. Or if you guys were able to work together on an angle and you knew what was coming beforehand, Whitey's character could have offered to pay Amigo twice what you were offering to team with him, which could have led to a bidding war, which could have led to tempers flaring in storyline, which could have led to physical violence. Or, you guys could have teamed up, combined your resources. If there's one thing people hate more than one rich bastard, it's two rich bastards. And as far as I know you weren't a redneck back then, so it wouldn't have been like the two of you were clones. I had ideas, but I was busy doing other things so I dropped the gimmick and went hardcore dow the arrogant prick line with the constant list of new nicknames, 3rd person etc. Guess what happened next... Like I said, I was completely unaware of your gimmick. If you had been decent at doing it, there would have been no problem with me noticing what you were doing. Or if you had asked politely instead of throwing a fit like my two year old son.

Come on guys, let's all get along here. I don't want anybody leaving again. It reminds me of that old saying:
"Those who e-fed together...should get along."
Also, I think I'm a face at the moment, but it changes depending on my mood that week.

Over the top, billionaire, total douchebag white trash gimmick screams nothing but mega-heel. But I could always turn face and play up my common man made good story

We need a top face, top heel ladder again I think we do a bit, but with the sky rocketing of every new guy who is half decent kinda ruins it. Viva took months to get up to the top of the mountain, Enigma did the same, Caroll too.

I'm kind of playing 'tweener who could go either way', but my dealio with The Pantheon could push me to never-say-die babyface.
I'm not expecting to go back in at the top obviously, I need to climb the ladder again, but I can help out by having a relatively established character on the babyface side who isn't involved in anything really deep at the moment.
