I just wanted to say a few quick words as my return to Creature Wrestling is drawing to a close probably for good this time.

First I want to thank Spade for inviting me here to do this it was a lot of fun, and I appreciate the fact that he would reach out to me for such a big event for this fed. Now to be clear we had buried the hatchet some time ago, but even at that time when we let all the water run under the bridge did I think I would ever be back at any event at this fed. That`s not out of disrespect but for all those that know the history we share it is kind of surreal to say the least that after all this time when at one point if you asked either of us about a possibility like this we would have laughed to say the least.

There are a few things that I regret along the road that is creature wrestling, but leaving to do CCW is not one of them. At the time that CCW was formed there was no way things could have been salvaged to keep everyone in one fed there was too much bad blood, too many cooks trying to make the perfect stew. That said there were some things that I did that I regret but I will plead a difference in maturity that I have gained at this time. For what its worth I thought the split actually made for some of the best experiences on both sides of the fence, the first year of CCW is something that I am very proud of its proof that competition breeds a stronger product. My main regret was that when CCW was drawing to a close I was unable to take part due to life circumstances out of my control which is a big reason that I wanted to do this. I did this to kinda pay tribute to this crazy thing we all dumped a ton of time into now I know some will not appreciate the venue in which I chose to do so but I hope that you will respect my decision.

I want to also thank Charon and Dalkiel for working with me one last time and a long with 'Spade helping me find a way to fit into the story that had gone so many places since I had posted here last and being very welcoming.

Whats next for me? I will go back to what I was doing before, being a grown up and most importantly a father. However when I have my next bout of birthday blues I won't look back at Creature Wrestling and think, "Man I wished I had walked away with some sense of closure.".

Thanks to everyone that made creature wrestling what it was no matter where you are, what fed you ended up in, and how long you were there. With out the players for better or worse we would not be doing this now.

Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.
