Whilst collecting all the records for the Championship history thread, I've found loads of old matches from 4CW and even some from 4WF.  It was fun reading them again, and I thought it'd be awesome to post them here so we can all enjoy them, and as a way to save them so they don't get lost.  We've already lost so much stuff with server crashes, so we need to preserve everything we can (the historian in me talking!).

So that gave me the idea of doing "4CW: From the Vault", which Hilds has given the ok for me to do.  "From the Vault" will be a new show, and just like the "WWE: Vintage Report" show.  It's going to be on the Sundays between Stormfronts, so we will always have some 4CW to read every weekend!  It won't be a long show like SF with segs and promos, though it will have some little segs to introduce the matches.  It'll be a quick show showing some classic matches from 4CW's past, maybe around three. 

Maybe in the future I might expand the show a bit and have in-character interviews talking about 4CW's history, favourite matches etc.

Right then, this is the important bit!  If you've got old matches saved on your computer, doesn't matter how old, whether it's from last year or 6 years ago, whether they're 4CW, 4WF, O4W or R4H, send them to me in a PM, and they'll make their way onto "From the Vault".  If you're friends with guys on Facebook or you've got the e-mail addresses from old timers like Strung or Wolfie, let me know and I'll see if they'll send some stuff.

Now I might need some advice on the history side of things from old timers like chux, Belly and Mikey, about early 4CW and which e-feds 4CW came from and the like.  So be prepared!!

The first "4CW: From the Vault" will be the Sunday after next SF, so July 21.

Brilliant, thanks guys!  I've found some nice little gems already, and enough shows with enough matches to keep this thing going for a while. 

For the show format, I've decided on three matches.  The first two will be SF matches and low/mid-card PPV matches, and the last match will be a high-mid-card/main event PPV match and big SF matches. 

Oh ok, thanks Belly.  I could've sworn 4CW emerged from 4WF way back when, and in-character the 4CW library might contain 4WF like how the WWE has WCW, ECW, AWA etc. etc. and show them on the "Vintage Report" show.  Nevermind, I've found enough 4CW!

It came from 4FW, easy mistake to make, which had barely any shows anyway. You're not missing a lot to not include that.

Chux, do you have our Gallows Pole match from 04 I think? It was the one that ended in the draw.

Unfortunately not. I didn't ever back up anyone else's work, only my own. I do have the whole 2004 Gallows End though, for some reason.

I wish I would have backed up some of my old matches, it would have been cool to read stuff that I was involved in. Like the cage match where Synder turned on Sery and threw him through the cage door. That was one of my favorite things I've been involved in.

4WF was the original 4w forum efed so i guess the library could be owned by 4w in a sense... seems weird thst it was like over 12 years ago.. geez...

But 4CW didnt have any roots there other than the forum it is based on.

Nope, nothing like that. I kept all the matches I wrote and GE04. No idea how that got in there, but in there it is.

4CW World Championship Gallows Pole Match: "Main Event" Mike Nichols vs. [chux](c) - Gallows End PPV October 31, 2006

Phoenix: Finally, after an already amazing night of wrestling, we have reached the main event. Mike Nichols and [chux] have been at each other for the past six months, competing in some very physical matches along the way. It was only fitting that these two men finish their rivalry here tonight in the most barbaric match in wrestling today, the Gallows Pole.

Roberts: That's right, Scott. Not to mention that on top of bragging rights, the winner of this match will be the 4CW World Champion.

The arena lights go out. Everything is black. The well-known first riffs of “Break Stuff” by Limp Bizkit play and then repeat. There is a pause…

BOOM!!!!

Two huge pyro blasts explode on each side of the entrance. The music blasts out again over the loudspeaker.

Phoenix: Here he is!

“Main Event” Mike Nichols bursts out from behind the curtain. He walks onto the stage and down the ramp. The fans rise to their feet and cheer. Nichols keeps his eyes focused on the ring.

Loveless: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is your main event of the evening, and is a Gallows Pole match for the 4CW World Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Miami, Florida… standing 6'4” and weighing 275 pounds…“MAIN EVENT” MIKE NICHOLS!!!

Nichols walks up the steps and along the apron to the corner. He climbs up to the second turnbuckle and throws his right arm into the air as the crowd again erupts into cheers.

Roberts: The challenger looks as ready as he'll ever be right here tonight, and tonight he is looking for respect and the title that has eluded him for the past two years, the 4CW World Championship.

After a short pause, Nichols drops down and steps through the ropes. He walks to the opposite corner and climbs to the second rope and again throws up his right arm. Flashbulbs pop from the crowd as Nichols pauses in his pose. He drops down and turns around awaiting the champion.

“Black Water” plays through the arena's PA system as the stage fills with a dark smoke.

Jeffrey: Here comes the champ!

The fans erupt in a mixed reaction, mainly siding with boos. As the smoke starts to clear, a dark silhouette of a man becomes visible, with his head lowered and his arms out to his sides, with a long strap hanging down from his right hand. A feminine figure stands behind him and to his side, and when she slams her foot down and throws her arms out to match him, two huge jets of fire shoot straight upwards out on either side of them. The flames die down and the couple walk to the ring together.

Loveless: And, his opponent, from Elmaville, United Kingdom…standing 6'1” and weighing in at 230 pound…he is the 4CW World Champion…[CHUX]!!!

The 4CWtron displays highlights of [chux]'s career, hitting his signature moves on all the big names. Gemini, Supreme, Drake Blackstone, Minion, Inferno. Amy stays at ringside as [chux] rolls under the bottom rope and raises his World Championship belt high above his head.

Phoenix: It all comes down to this. The legendary two-time World Champion, [chux], defending against the self proclaimed greatest wrestler alive today, Mike Nichols.

The bell rings and both men meet in the center of the ring. They are exchanging inaudible words but from the looks on their faces, neither man is being polite to the other. Finally breaking the verbal duel [chux] spits right in Nichols' face. Nichols just smiles and nods his head as he wipes the spit off his face. [chux] is laughing in his face but Nichols quickly stops that by delivering a vicious kick below the belt that doubles the World Champion over.

Phoenix: OH!

Jeffrey: DQ him ref! That was a blatant low blow!

Roberts: There are no DQs here Ray.

Nichols sprints at [chux] and tackles him through the ropes and to the floor. Nichols then starts raining lefts and rights onto the face of [chux].

Phoenix: Nichols is throwing fists of fire onto the skull of [chux].

Nichols stands up and surveys the damage. He then turns to the timekeeper's table. He walks over and grabs the ring bell. The crowd roars in approval.

Roberts: I'll give you one guess on what Nichols wants to do with that.

Jeffrey: Shut up. Come on [chux]!

[chux] stands up and sees Nichols charging at him and quickly hits a short dropkick to the knee of Nichols, sending him to the ground. The bell flies out of Nichols' hands and onto the floor. [chux] rolls into the ring to get away from Nichols who stands and follows [chux].

Phoenix: Now both men are back in the ring. Let's see where this goes.

[chux] charges at Nichols who dodges and hits a drop toehold that drops [chux] neck first onto the bottom ring rope. Nichols slides out of the ring and begins to pull down on [chux]'s head, forcing his neck harder into the ropes. The ref can do nothing to stop him since there are no DQs.

Jeffrey: You can't win by choking him out on the ring ropes. Stop this!

Roberts: If he chokes him out on the ground then all he has to do is wrap the noose around his throat and the match is over.

Nichols grabs a chair from under the ring and rolls back into the ring with it. [chux] gets to his knees. Nichols raises the chair above his head and starts to bring it down but [chux] hits a low blow that drops Nichols to his knees, too, before falling face first into the mat. [chux] is up and he grabs the chair. He raises it above his head and brings it crashing down onto the back of Nichols. [chux] brings the chair back up and back down again and again and again.

Jeffery: That's how you use a chair.

Phoenix: [chux] is wearing Nichols out with chair shot after chair shot.

[chux] throws the chair down and lets out a big yell. He turns but bumps into the referee. [chux] then corners the ref and starts yelling at him. Nichols is slowly making his way back to his feet. [chux] turns and runs at Nichols who catches [chux] and hits a Double-A spinebuster and both men are down.

Roberts: Neither man can gain the momentum so far in this match.

Phoenix: That's right. One can only wonder how long they can keep this pace up.

Both men make it to their feet at the same time. They both run toward opposite ropes. [chux] ducks a Nichols clothesline. Both men rebound and this time it is Nichols who ducks a [chux] clothesline attempt. Nichols stops at the ropes and [chux] bounces off one more time and runs at Nichols full speed. Nichols picks up [chux] and hot shots him neck first on the top rope. [chux] rolls on the mat holding his throat.

Phoenix: Once again Nichols goes to the throat, trying to weaken it for when he tries to hang him.

Jeffrey: When? Don't you mean if? [chux] is going to get up and own Nichols the rest of this match. You watch.

[chux] rolls onto his side and Nichols hits a soccer style kick to the chest of [chux], causing him to roll over onto all fours. [chux] tries crawling away but Nichols kicks him in the ribs again, driving him into the bottom turnbuckle. Nichols grabs him and places him into a seated position before kicking him in the face again and again. Nichols then runs off the ropes and comes back with a face wash kick on [chux]. Nichols signals for the end.

Roberts: Nichols is going to hang [chux] already!

Nichols climbs to the second turnbuckle and grabs the noose, pulling it down to the mat with him. He reaches down with his other hand and grabs [chux] by his trademark hair. As he attempts to place the noose around [chux]'s neck, the champion hits a quick eye poke that makes Nichols drop the noose and take a couple steps backwards. [chux] pulls himself up to his feet and charges Nichols but Nichols catches him and hits a powerslam in the center of the ring. He stands up and plays to the crowd, which draws big cheers from those in attendance.

Roberts: What a move by Nichols. [chux] can barely breathe in there.

Phoenix: I don't know how wise it is of him to take his focus off the champion right now.

Jeffrey: Exactly. [chux] is the World Champion and you don't take your eyes off of him for even a second.

Nichols turns around and pulls [chux] to his feet. He then Irish whips [chux] into the corner so hard that [chux] flips over the top and to the outside. Nichols climbs through the ropes to follow outside. Nichols reaches the floor and sees [chux]'s girlfriend, Amy, trying to help [chux] up.

Roberts: I think Amy just found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Jeffrey: Nichols better not touch her or I'll…tell someone.

Nichols grabs Amy and lifts her into the air before walking her out of the way and setting her down. Nichols turns to see [chux] trying to crawl underneath the ring. Nichols runs over to him and grabs his feet. Nichols pulls with all his might to get [chux] out. Nichols then pulls the champion to his feet, but he is hit with a quick uppercut that drops Nichols like a sack of bricks to the floor. [chux] stumbles back into the announce table before holding up his hand and showing the world that he has a pair of brass knuckles on his hand.

Jeffrey: Did you see that power? He just knocked Mike Nichols out cold with one punch!

Roberts: One punch with a pair of brass knuckles.

[chux] tosses the ‘knucks to Jeffrey and walks over to Nichols' motionless body. [chux] grabs the challenger and leans him up against the ring steps before walking over to the timekeeper and throwing him off his chair. [chux] takes the chair and places it over Nichols' face. [chux] takes about ten steps back from Nichols before charging at him and delivering a low dropkick that smashes the chair right back into Nichols' face. [chux] pulls Nichols up and rolls him back into the ring. [chux] slides in and gives Nichols a slap to the face.

Phoenix: This is already getting very dangerous. Nichols is out and [chux] could cause some serious damage to him.

Jeffrey: God I hope so.

[chux] drags Nichols' body to the center of the ring. [chux] then rolls to the outside and grabs the chair. He rolls back into the ring and places the chair over the face of Nichols. [chux] climbs to the top rope. He poses for the crowd and then he jumps. [chux] hits a huge leg drop on Nichols with the chair on his head.

Roberts: How much more punishment can either of these two take?

[chux] walks over to the corner and grabs the noose. He starts to pull it towards Nichols but it won't reach that far so he drops the noose and proceeds to drag Nichols to the corner. With Nichols in range, [chux] slips the noose over his head and around his neck.

Phoenix: The noose is on and all he has to do now is string Nichols up!

[chux] steps out onto the apron and grabs the rope from the opposite side of the pulley and begins to pull downward on it. Nichols is slowly starting to move upwards. Nichols is lifted to a seated position and he shakes his head and gets a shocked look on his face before trying to get the noose off. [chux] is pulling with everything he has and Nichols is brought up to his feet but Nichols grabs his end of the rope and begins to pull on it to give himself some slack.

Roberts: This has turned into a tug-o-war match.

Nichols, being the stronger of the two, gets the advantage and starts pulling the champ off the apron and into the air. From behind, Amy gets into the ring and jumps on Nichols' back and rakes the eyes of Nichols and that allows [chux] to regain the advantage.

Roberts: That little witch! She could have cost Nichols the match right there.

Jeffrey: She is showing that she'll do anything to protect her man.

Nichols is lifted off the ground and he is struggling to get the noose off as [chux] pulls with all his might. Nichols can't pull the noose off so he starts to swing his legs back and forth. He gets his whole body swinging and he locks his legs on the top rope. He manages to get some slack in the rope and he quickly gets the noose off but he has no balance and he falls back onto the mat. Nichols is disoriented from the lack of oxygen and he pulls himself up but he is met by [chux] flying off the top rope. [chux] connects with a missile dropkick that sends Nichols backwards and through the ropes to the outside.

Phoenix: [chux] is really on the offensive right now. His experience in this match is showing through.

[chux] stands up and sees Nichols on the floor on the outside. [chux] gets into a ready stance and, as Nichols gets to his feet, [chux] takes an angled approach to the ropes and he jumps and hits a high jump no-hands back flip plancha that connects with Nichols and both men go down to the floor.

Phoenix: [chux] is pulling out everything in this match.

Jeffrey: He has to. Otherwise he won't walk out the champ.

[chux] is the first to his feet and he grabs Nichols by the hair and pulls him to his feet. [chux] gives him a quick knee to the mid-section and then hits a suplex into the entranceway. The champ walks over to the ring and he flips the apron up and he reaches under the ring and pulls out a table.

Roberts: Now why's he got a table? You have to hang your opponent to win, not put them through a table.

Jeffrey: This is about more than the title with these two. [chux] wants to hurt Nichols.

[chux] sets the table up and then goes back to Nichols but Nichols meets him with a hard left hand. [chux] stumbles back a few and then hits Nichols with a punch of his own. Nichols comes right back with another punch and [chux] takes it, then hits a quick eye rake to stop Nichols. [chux] climbs to the ring apron and he springboards off the ropes and goes for a springboard moonsault but Nichols catches him and rams the champ back first into the ring post. Nichols pulls back a few steps and then rams [chux] into the post again, this time he drops him to the ground afterwards.

Phoenix: Mike Nichols could have just turned the tide right there.

Nichols leans against the ring while he gets his bearings. He then picks [chux] up and slams his back into the ring apron. He then pulls [chux] out and hits a backbreaker on the champ. Nichols grabs [chux] by the legs and turns him over into a Liontamer. Nichols wrenches back on the hold and [chux] screams out in pain before quickly tapping his hand on the floor.

Roberts: Too bad this isn't a submission match or it would be over right now.

Jeffrey: [chux] wouldn't tap out if submissions counted.

Nichols lets the hold go and pulls [chux] up before rolling him back into the ring. Nichols picks [chux] up and push him into the corner with the noose. Nichols kicks him in the stomach and then punches him in the head. Kick to the stomach followed by another punch to the head. Nichols alternates kicks and punches until [chux] is in a seated position. Nichols wipes a trickle of blood from his lip and he grabs the noose again. He pulls [chux] to his feet and places the noose around his head but [chux] fires back with a few short jabs that stun Nichols. The champ leans back into the corner and Nichols charges him but [chux] gets his feet up and he kicks Nichols in the chest. The challenger doesn't go down and he charges again but [chux] moves out of the way. Nichols misses hitting the corner by diving over the top rope and grabbing the other end of the noose. The crowd comes to its feet as Nichols pulls down on the rope and as he hits the floor on the outside, [chux] is lifted off the ground and into the air.

Phoenix: [chux] is being hung!

Jeffrey: No!!!

Roberts: He is swinging all over the place!

Because of the momentum, [chux] manages to stop himself by swinging onto the top rope. He removes the noose and then dives off to the outside and he hits Nichols with a corkscrew body attack. Both men hit the ground hard. The crowd starts a ‘holy shit' chant.

Phoenix: The champion just hit an amazing move onto Nichols on the outside.

Jeffrey: You see that? That's what a champion does. Most men would have freaked out and ended up being hung but not my man, [chux].

Roberts: It looked like a desperation move to me.

[chux] starts to move quickly followed by Nichols. [chux] rolls into the ring. Nichols makes it to his feet and climbs up onto the apron and slowly reenters the ring. The crowd comes to its feet again as the two combatants get to their feet in the ring.

Phoenix: Both men are back up again and this could be like a second start to this match.

Jeffrey: Nichols hit a cheap shot on [chux] the first time so this should be better for the champ.

Nichols charges and [chux] gets a go behind to a waistlock. [chux] drops down and pulls Nichols' legs out from underneath him causing him to go face first into the ground. [chux] stomps the back of Nichols' right knee and Nichols screams out and rolls off underneath the bottom ropes and onto the apron. [chux] bounces off the ropes, runs at Nichols and hits a baseball slide kick to Nichols' back that sends the challenger flying off the apron and onto the floor. [chux] steps out onto the apron and runs down the side. He jumps off and goes for a shooting star press but Nichols rolls out of the way and [chux] slams into the floor. Nichols grabs onto the guardrail and pulls himself up. He walks with a slight limp towards [chux] and he picks up the champion and rolls him back into the ring.

Jeffrey: [chux] needs a timeout, he could have a broken rib or something from that fall.

Phoenix: A timeout? Gimme a break.

Nichols walks back to the corner with the noose but [chux] is up behind him and the champion charges. Nichols ducks down and back body drops [chux], but the champ holds onto the top rope and lands on his feet on the apron. Nichols turns around and [chux] hot shots his neck off the top rope. Nichols falls back into the ring, holding his neck. [chux] hops back up on the apron and hits a springboard leg drop on to the neck of Nichols.

Jeffrey: There it is! [chux] is working on that neck so when he gets the noose on Nichols, he'll go out quicker.

Phoenix: An injured neck might make it hard to fight being hanged.

[chux] stands up and grabs Nichols' arm. He then puts a foot on the throat of Nichols and he pulls on the arm, forcing his foot into Nichols' throat. Nichols rolls his legs back and he kicks [chux] in the chest causing him to stumble back. Nichols gets to his knee and [chux] comes charging back but as he gets to the challenger, Nichols pops up and nails the champ with a Rock Bottom.

Roberts: Push Killer!

Phoenix: But can he capitalize on it?

Jeffrey: No way! Look at him. He can barely breath with his throat damaged.

Neither man is moving and the crowd starts a ‘let's go, Nichols' chant. Nichols begins to stir and he drapes his arm over the top of the champion's chest but the referee has to tell him there are no pins in this match.

Phoenix: Nichols is so disoriented that he forgot there are no pins.

Jeffrey: What a dumbass!

Nichols crawls over towards the rope just as [chux] begins to stir. Nichols pulls himself up and starts to slowly make his way towards the champion. As Nichols gets there, [chux] shoots in and gets a double leg takedown and he follows it up by locking Nichols into his inverted figure-four.

Phoenix: [chux] has the Trial Of Tears locked in.

Jeffrey: I think I see some tears coming out of Nichols right now.

Nichols lets out a painful groan as [chux] wrenches back on the legs of the challenger. Nichols pushes up onto his hands and uses his leg strength to push [chux] off of him. Nichols quickly hobbles to his feet but [chux] hits a running front dropkick that sends Nichols back into the corner. [chux] picks Nichols up and sets him on the top rope. He then looks over towards the entrance and sees the table he set up earlier. The crowd starts to buzz as [chux] repositions Nichols so that his legs are outside of the ring and he is facing the table.

Roberts: What the hell is he going to do with that table?

[chux] steps out of the ring and onto the apron. He walks over to the corner where Nichols is. He hits a couple hard right hands on Nichols before climbing up to the top rope with him. [chux] looks over his shoulder at the table and then he jumps up and wraps his legs around Nichols' head. The champion then shifts his weight backwards for a hurricanrana but Nichols holds on to the top rope and [chux] just stops. Nichols takes both of his feet and steps over [chux]'s arms. Nichols then stands up as the crowd comes to its feet and Nichols takes [chux] and jumps from the second rope with a Styles Clash through the table on the outside.

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Phoenix: Oh my god, they have got to be dead!

Jeffrey: He killed our champion!

Nichols starts to stir and he crawls out of the rubble and over to the apron where he pulls himself slowly to his feet. He walks over to [chux] and grabs him by the hair. Nichols drags [chux]'s lifeless body over to the ring. Nichols leans down and lifts the champion onto the apron before pushing him underneath the bottom rope.

Phoenix: I don't know how either one of these two are even breathing after what just happened.

Nichols grabs [chux]'s arm and he lifts the champ onto his shoulder into a fireman's carry. The crowd can sense the end as Nichols slowly makes his way to the corner. He sets the champion on the top rope and then he climbs to the second rope and reaches for the noose but just as he gets his fingertips on it, the noose gets pulled out of his grasp.

Roberts: Amy's got the other end of the rope!

Jeffrey: Yeah! She's gonna keep that thing out of his reach so he can't hang [chux]!

Nichols sees Amy with the rope and he begins to yell for her to let go but she says ‘no'. Just then, [chux] kicks Nichols' legs out from underneath him and he gets crotched on the top rope. Amy then lets go of the other end and [chux] stands on the top rope reaching for the noose. Nichols pulls himself up to the top rope as [chux] grabs the noose. [chux] sees this and pokes Nichols in the eyes and then slips the noose over his head.

Phoenix: The noose is on Nichols!

Nichols hits a left hand on [chux]. The champion leans backwards and grabs the Gallows Pole for balance. He then hits a punch of his own on Nichols, who also grabs the pole to steady himself. [chux] grabs the other end of the rope and he tries to jump from the top but Nichols grabs his hair to stop him. [chux] swings and misses Nichols and the challenger slams the champion's head into the pole causing him to lose grip on the rope. Nichols grabs the rope and wraps it around [chux]'s neck and ties a quick knot.

Roberts: Oh my god! Both men have a noose around their necks!

Phoenix: Nichols must have been a boy scout. Did you see how quickly he tied that knot?

Jeffrey: He probably got ass raped by his scoutmaster.

[chux] gets his balance and hits Nichols with a hard punch but Nichols retaliates with one of his own. With each punch, the men sway back and forth on the top rope, right in front of the crowd. Nichols hits another hard left and [chux] comes back with a hard punch as well. Then both men rear back and hit each other at the exact same time. Both [chux] and Mike Nichols fall opposite directions off the top rope and both men are hung from the pole above the arena floor, champion and challenger scraping and clawing at the rope as they swing back and forth.

Phoenix: Jesus Christ! I can't believe my eyes!

Roberts: Both men are hanging at the same time!

Amy stands watching helplessly as [chux] and Nichols both hang from the pole. Nichols is trying desperately to get out of the noose. [chux] grabs at his rope and tries to undo the knot. Both men are swinging violently and the thrashing slowly ceases as the two combatants come face to face. Each man looks into the other's eyes and they both accept their fate and drift into unconsciousness.

Jeffrey: What the hell just happened?

The bell rings and 4CW officials come down and let the champion and challenger down and quickly place them on stretchers to be carted to the back.

Loveless: Ladies and gentlemen, due to both men going unconscious, the referee has declared this match a draw. Therefore, STILL your 4CW World Champion…[CHUX]!!!

The referee takes the 4CW World Championship belt and places it on [chux]'s chest as he is wheeled by with Nichols in tow. The crowd all together stand and give both men a standing ovation.

Phoenix: I've never seen anything like this in my life and I completely agree with our audience.

Jeffrey: I am absolutely speechless here.

Roberts: Neither man had it in them to quit and both of them fought until the last second and they both deserve our respect.

Phoenix: I still can't believe what we've seen tonight. Both JTF and [chux] retained their respective belts, [chux] by a technicality, and the future has never looked more uncertain for 4CW than it does right now. Skywolf and Nichols could both be out of action for good, not to mention our champion as well, but we're all out of time tonight. Join us for the next edition of Storm Front, where we hope to have updated conditions on all our athletes from tonight. For Ray Jeffrey and James Roberts, this is Scott Phoenix saying goodnight, and happy Halloween. We hope you enjoyed Gallows End tonight.

Oh wow, that's great, thanks Mikey! 

I've got 2 full Gallows End PPVs and this match, so I can do some Gallows End themed shows in October to get us in the mood!

Because since I left I've had a ton of people say they want to work with me. Quit while you're ahead 😄

So you just want people to stroke your ego more? Well, you don't have to tell me twice. I won't bring it up again. I would hate for you to get any satisfaction from anything I said. Haha.

I love the new Stormfront banner, looks really cool.  Would anyone with graphics skills like to make a similar banner for "From the Vault"?

Thought I'd share this with you all.  It'd be selfish of me to keep it a secret!

Ren found JTF's old 4CW site which includes every show from 2006.  Quite the jackpot!  It was great reading through some of these shows again, reading Carstein's first matches 🙂.  Needless to say that a lot of these matches will find their way on From the Vault soon!
