| I'm not going to be overly dramatic about it but I want to thank people for helping with this tournament.
DDD and the rest of the board for championing and approving the concept. Vance and Tyler Parker for actively pursuing me and finding out what matches they wanted on the Voltage and Battleground cards.
EVERY LAST VIXEN who promoed for and about this tournament. I had faith that you all would validate the event taking place with your performance and you surpassed my lofty expectations.
Thanks to those who showed interest but were unable to participate like HBG and HBB/Cleopatra and newcomers like Katie Rotten and Cloud Matsuda.
Thanks to EVERYONE who wrote matches and segments to help make this happen. Trent, Vance, Tyler (ESPECIALLY), Pizza Boy/Candle, TLA, Minns, Mitchell Street, Bailey, Haruna, DDD, anybody who did help but I didn't mention specifically by name. I have tried to do a tournament like this only once before and it flopped because I didn't have the help. You guys took an even more ambitious idea and help me make it work.
Thanks to the community for putting up my reminders/annoucements/sometimes lateness with things.
This is definitely something I think can be a yearly thing in EAW.
EDIT: Charles, Dark Demon and Kimbo are some more people i want to thank.

| I think the Vixens rose to the occasion, definitely. We all knew what the stakes were, and we promoed accordingly. We proved that we deserved to have that spotlight. I'm proud of all of us.
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is how night two of the EOE-exclusive special was scrapped and we had the summarized results. Other than that, I think the execution was okay for a first-time tournament. |

| well, yes.... I'm sorry for all of you who expected me to get better result in this tournament than this. I was having a bad mood who came outta nowhere at the time I have to face three opponents in the same one week, causing my total downfall in this tournament. I'm sorry for letting you guys down for a million time and I promise I'll get up from this..... again. |

| I think it was a great idea to get focus on vixens by the rest of the roster and giving them something to do to show their promo talents. The only bad side was this was done in an era where live shows are less of a thing so I'm sure a lot of people lost track of what was going on at times-even me-, but still that's got nothing to specifically do with the tournament, great job. |

| I loved how the spotlight was on the Vixens for once. I was wondering if we were ever going to get something since the guys had King of Elite, but I loved that the Vixens had an opportunity to show that we could rise to occasions, when something as prestige like this was on the line. I was impressed with how many Vixens actually participated for the tournament, but I knew that they would not let an opportunity like this pass by. I thought the matches were fantastically written and I enjoyed every minute of it.
However, what I thought messed up the flow with everything was getting the shows posted on time, but I felt like you were really good with giving us the results of the matches and our next opponents for the week. I'm hoping that the next time you approach the idea is that everything is running efficiently, but for the first time doing this, great job! Everyone who contributed to it should give themselves a pat on the back! |

| Wished I could have helped out more than I did but you deserve all the credit in the world Carlos, this was a HUGE undertaking and you made it work and kept it extremely consistent for such a hard job to pull off, giving plenty of much deserved spotlight to the vixens divisions. |

| Honestly, Carlos, you deserve a whole lot of awards for what you did for this thing. You worked your ass off to get it off the ground and you succeeded, and I commend you for it. Ups and downs, uphill battles and whatnot, and it was pretty impressive. I can't wait to see what you decide to do to trump this later in the future.
If this isn't a reoccurring thing in EAW I'm going to eat my shirt. |

| I'm very thankful the Vixens are getting chances to prove themselves!
And I'm very proud of all the Vixens who gave it their all, it was truly remarkable! Good job girls! |

| I'm happy you're breaking the boundary of 'Well, if they haven't been here long, they can't win.' This tournament, I won't lie, at first I was very skeptical of but you proved me wrong (not like I'm someone to prove) and this tournament was amazing. Now someone give the man a title shot! |

| The tournament was a huge undertaking and propelled new faces into stardom and contendership, as well as changing the whole landscape of the Vixens division. Some of these Vixens are better roleplayers than the boys and I'm certainly glad I was not involved in having to roleplay against the murderer's row of talent that shined through the rp board.
The only thing I hope is that these new established stars don't go to waste. |

The only thing I hope is that these new established stars don't go to waste. 1. They won't. 2. Thank you for your help writing in this tournament. 3. I think from a promo perspective, there are at least 6 vixens here who could go toe to toe with anyone on the roster, male or female. |

| As someone who has been here for a long time and seen some really burdensome times for the Vixens, I honestly thought that this whole tournament was a huge success. When the idea was first introduced, I had no idea how this was going to turn out but with what I was accustomed to seeing from the past.. my hopes weren't high. I had no doubt that the competitors were worthy but I really wondered about their ability to continuously stay active on a week basis but man, was I proven wrong.
Not only did they exceed most of our expectations, they drove a humongous train through it. I have never seen the Vixens division so active and competitive, even more so than the men division at times (kudos to the girls). I have at times seen at the most three or four vixens active but with one or two titles to fight for, I can see why some go astray but when they are put in a tournament with an equal opportunity to fight for the Vixens title.. you come to understand why they were so fired up to win.
I had personal favorites throughout the whole tournament as did everyone and I'm kind of glad some vixens are taking their losses intensively because it shows you that they tried so hard in this tournament. I wasn't unfortunately able to help out as I don't work in that department (I guess) but huge kudos to Carlos, you were freaking brilliant man. I want to give as much appreciation to everyone who helped out and on top of it all...
Congratulations Aria Jaxon! It was a great tournament and a brilliant win.
