| I'm curious as to what a lot of the veterans feel as though are the eras that EAW has been through and what they name them.
Do you feel as though we are currently in the midst of a brand new era of EAW with an influx of new talent rising through the ranks? |

| I won't pass off my perception as fact but here's how I always saw the era's split up as:
1. Original era, with AWF grassroots. Summer of 2007 in it's brief stint as an independent fed, and then summer-winter of 2007 where EAW was a brand of Answers Wrestling Federation. This was like EAW's "trial run", but still produced some cool shit, and was definitely AWF's number one show for a while, and Mak and CM Ronn/Banks were definitely bar none the faces of EAW. Also had originals like Killswitch and Jaywalker around too, brought in an influx of new fedders who would change the game.
2. EAW08 era. Modeled after the site name EAW08.webs.com. Basically the massive re-start up as it's own company that happened when AWF died in December 07 and Banks decided to resurrect EAW. This featured the debut and rise of guys like Impact, RRS, Starr, Robbie, Captain Charisma, Extreme Enigma among others while featuring guys who were already existing in our circle of feds such as myself, Jay, WWEFan, Banks, Mak, HRDO, HBB. This I believe went from 08-2011. I'd just say this era's super significant because it established EAW as the superpower that it is, revolutionized feds, and completely dominated our circle of feds at a peak time of e-fed competition.
3. Second half of 2011-2014. "New Generation" always stuck out to me in this time period. I always associated it with the exodus/hiatus of a lot of top stars in 2010 and 2011. This prompted a big time changing of the guard where younger guys rise up (in some cases from obscurity) and completely take over and be featured in extraordinary prominent roles like Dark Demon, Alexander Da Vinci, Kawajai, Scott Diamond, Prince of Phenomenal, Zack Crash, Diamond Cage, Hades, etc. Also introduced some current major cats as well who would break out.
4. "Elite" era pretty much makes it simple. This is basically mid/late 2014 to now, and kinda coincides with the Crash storyline but I've basically been chairman the whole time and this time period is significant since it's the first to not feature Extreme Rules. This is basically our current era, with a shit ton of talent coming in, having it's biggest most active roster at times, the Vixens division reaching a level previously not thought possible, outstanding amount of competition and roster size. This era's hard to define, it's best if whoevers been around here defines it for themselves, it's still ongoing.
With all the eras I believe there's been a gradual raise of quality in graphics, promos and writing, overall. Not to say everything is completely better now, but it's an overall gradual raise.

| I agree with DDD, except I think the "elite" era should be referred to as the "forumotion" era, as a lot of this new wave of talent(especially the huge vixens division) and change came when we moved here and still had a period where it wasn't Elite yet. |
