| There can be a difference to some people but not to me. I am not the type of guy to toot my own horn. I don't think highly enough and am not very confident.

| I definitely have undergone a humbling over the recent years where, especially over the past year or two, I don't think I'm nearly as good as my writers or other people do. I don't know if my confidence has lowered or if I've just become a lot more critical of myself, but im certainly less self aggrandizing towards my own content than say 2011-12 where I felt everything I did was sanctimonious and golden. |

I love Karl's titles (and the fact that he's trying to provoke more discussions on the forums and threads instead of writing in the same ones over and over again.) |

| To answer your question, of course there is. Everyone perceives themselves to be better than how others view them at some point in their life, same applies to EAW. Still, it's never a huge difference of mindsets for me personally. In other words, it's never ragequit worthy. |

| Honestly, my character has evolved to a point where he isn't exactly 100% an extension of me, but I would say maybe 60-65 % is. With that said, I'm new to efeds not even a year in efeds, but I feel the writers are using what I give them with my Character, which is not much now, but I'm working on it. The writers have been absolutely spot on so are in the confidence department. Keep up the good work.
I just want to say thanks to the previous Showdown writers Xavier, Demon, and later Impact for getting my character this far, and I look forward to seeing where Tyler and Brian can take him going into season 10. |

| Yes. Because my picbase is not a wrestler.
Well, no, I mean yes... the answer is still yes. I just feel like my character in promo page and in the shows is like a completely different person. Everyone who already have a feud with me can feel it too I guess |

| Honestly, I don't think I'm that good currently. Obviously, they disagree I mean I am World Champ. I know I could set the world on fire with the right pic base and gimmick combination tho. |

| TBH I'm very conflicted with how I feel about myself. Like I know I'm putting on the best work I have ever done, and clearly many of the writers are behind me, especially oasis and Brian, but I've never seen myself as that good. I think it's because I compare myself to people who are either world champs or HoFers but I've always been under the impression I'm just not on that level. |

| I tend to second guess my own abilities and worry about the possibility that I'm coasting on someone's nostalgia or impression of how good I was, if not less. I'm constantly worried about the what if of just being some strange preconceived notion or preceding reputation that some merely heard about. I try not to think about it too much though. If I did, I'd probably retire from e-fedding. Actually, I probably wouldn't and if I did I'd probably just go mad writing for no audience in particular. |

| I second guess myself a lot, sometimes I think I am better then someone, then I think I am not at the same time. I guess i am not that confident in myself even though I was awarded the Young Lions Cup? |

| I would say so because during my transition phase when I was new to EAW I worried about whether or not if I would be successful in a new environment compared to the old one I was in. I feel like there is always that doubt in the back of your mind if the writers in this particular fed thinks highly of you the way the writers in the previous fed viewed you. For me I have struggled with that my entire fedding career where no one really had any confidence in me or even gives me an opportunity to showcase what I can do. Sure, I would have various members of the community complimenting me on my work and how I present my character etc but for some reason my writers in the past or even my current writers don't see that for some reason. Which is why people tend to try to go to a different fed or brand in some cases to finally feel that their talents are worthy of a world championship reign, storyline, title opportunity etc. Sometimes you just get too caught up on pleasing your writer to the point where you'll end up making yourself feel miserable and eventually make yourself want to do less and less and even then wouldn't change your disposition . But at the end of the day it's pretty subjective because if this writer doesn't like you for one reason or another then whatever talents you may posess (unless the entire community is really high on that person). Which I'm not afraid to say that I have been there where I have actively tried to get approval from EVERYONE in the community and ask what they would do with my characters which I eventually lost sight with what my character was, which resulted in the failure of Ryan Savage. So pretty much at the end of the day all you can do is work hard and eventually you'll be lucky enough to have a writer that would appreciate and see what you have to offer and would find a way to utilize you. Sorry by the way if it didn't answer the question |

| I've lost to people who did one, short, sub par promo and lost. I've lost a lot of times where I shouldn't have. But now Demon is gone so maybe I'll win something |

| I'm pretty realistic in how I view myself. I know I can promo my ass off and I realize how good I am, but I can also check myself and keep myself humble. Obviously, up to this point, I've been in a position where the writers have thought pretty highly of me as well, which has been nice. c: |

| Yes sometimes I feel underlooked not only by the writers but by people here majority of the time like no one expects me to be able to go toe to toe with what EAW has established as the best and top wrestlers currently |

| Not at all. I just want to improve my promo abilities to a new level every time I cut a promo so I prefer to go with flow. Being a champion now it means I have to improve myself as a promoer even more, lol.
Could be a bit OOC but Shark Man is a perfect punching body-bag and I love his character. Hopefully he could be a legendary comedic character regardless how good/bad my promos are as Shark Man xD |

| I don't think I'm as good as people say I am, but it does mean the people here are nice enough to lie to my face and say that I am good, so it can't be all bad. Like, when people talk about my promos, or if I ask about them, they are either like, "It's good." Or they don't say anything at all. And that silences tends to affect me the most, because I take it as "if you have nothing good to say, don't say anything." So I really rather just pretend people don't read my stuff. It's delusional at it's best, and I don't get criticized, but it does get infuriating from time to time when it seems I make little to no progress, and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Like, if I'm not good then just say it. I just have a bad mindset where if people aren't critical on me, I'm critical of myself, and as bad as that is, it does allow me to remain somewhat "humble" and never in way over my head. |
