FROM THE DESK OF APW VICE PRESIDENT JOHNNY REBEL
Sunday - June 28th, 2015 RE: APW's Future APW's Friends and Followers, First of all, let me say again: thank you for the amazing turn-out for the reunion show. What began as a few people shooting the breeze about their memories of APW turned in to a fitting tribute to one of the greatest wrestling organizations of all time. The matches were top-notch and the card was a glimpse in to the past. As the show began to take on new life and people started returning to APW slowly and surely, a buzz started to build around Action Packed Wrestling once again. While the majority of APW alumni have long moved on to other organizations or retired from the business all together, there was something magical about seeing the APW offices flush with life again. Questions started being raised: is an APW rebirth a reality? Could the APW maintain the same amount of quality with a scaled back schedule? Does the APW have any star power remaining after being inactive for such a significant amount of time? We began doing our homework and started digging through the APW faithful to find out who would be committed to another run if APW was indeed to open its doors once again. The outcome of our research was about what we had expected: APW still had drawing power. Megastars that haven't laced up their boots in several months began to quickly pledge their allegiance to the only home they had ever known... Action Packed Wrestling. So, it's with great pleasure that I announce to the world: APW is once again open for business! There will be a few differences in the new breed of APW: - There will be ONE brand that will be the flagship show of APW. While the three former brands (Overdrive, Asylum, and Meltdown) had their own each distinctive places in the lore of our business but it's time for something fresh. Enter in APW's new show, Deception! While rumors are the show is going to be every other Friday evening, the day hasn't been finalized as of yet. - APW's main show will be bi-weekly. - Each show will have a promo limit. While the details haven't been officially ironed out, the cap will not exceed one promo per card with no more then 2,500 words (soft limit) to 3,000 words (hard limit). As always, there will be a high emphasis on quality over quantity; however, there will be occasional trash talk battles that focus strictly on creativity...a new twist that will be fleshed out over time. The APW will continue to deliver the same quality that you've come to know and enjoy. The application is live and all (both new and returning megastars) will need to fill out a new application to secure your spot in the reboot. We're going to cap the roster at a medium sized number so make sure you don't wait! We will continue to flesh out new and fresh ideas that will separate APW from the pack. Simply put? It's time to buckle up - the APW is back and will be better than ever. Signed, Johnny Rebel |

OOC: Sorry for the delay folks. After the reunion show, things fell apart for me very quickly: both professionally and personally. I'm working through some things and finally feel ready to make the decision to re-open the APW. Tomorrow begins the recruiting - so make sure you spread the word and get those applications in!
If you have questions, please feel free to message me or ask them here in this thread.
Thanks!

I would like to point out that the RP rules (if not rules in general, but definitely those) are a bit out of date. Someone should probably look into that. o.o;

Maybe in the future I will sign up here again, but because I'm holding three titles in three different feds, I won't for now, but I'll read every RP and results like a true APW fan would.

Yeah, well, I have 17 titles in 18 feds, fart puppy dogs, eat railroad spikes coated in fingernail clippings and dance on the grave of Hitler on Sunday afternoons. Still have time to run APW. |

No chance that I'm stepping back in competitive RPing so soon after my retirement, but I'll be sticking around to help out OOC.

I chose Mussolini over Hitler...doesn't have the same appeal. |

No one really needs to read a Mark Mania promo anyway. |

ITS THE RETURN OF THE TJ?
Could that also mean the return of the APW Podcasts? I think it might.
