| I want to be remembered, not for how many times XMW was open, but for what I was able to achieve in my time in not just EAW, but feds in general. I want to be able to say I'm happy with what I accomplished by the time I'm leaving. |

| Well I already have the legacy I want, but it's not like I ever did things just for my legacy, though at the same time I have a pride not to ruin my legacy at the same time. I've always just been around because I want to play the game and everything involved with mastering it, and it's the same today. |

| I always have and always wanted to be remembered, not as the "GOAT" or the best. But the most defiant and long lasting heel in EAW. No matter what, it you face KD, you become a instant face. That alone makes me feel as if ive mastered being the bad guy. Might not have the best accomplishments, but the moments ive had mean more to me. From PFP 2, To the rise of Cyclone, to the John Alloy match, even when they buried me at PFP 5, To being the last match of EE in this place, to Wraith, to even today as GM. Nobody does bad like Kevin Devastation. |

| I want my legacy to be defined as one of the greatest in e-feds. May be a cheesy or overrated answer to some, but that is what I aspired to do with my character since its inception back in 2008. Even though I strive to be the best that I can be, that I do as much as I can to contribute to EAW, and to help those that need that push or that bit of inspiration to really bring the best out of them to make them shine above the rest and make them pull off something extraordinary, it has all been for the benefit of the game that is EAW and e-feds in general. Even though we need to sometimes be serious about it, I always keep in the back of my mind that this is a game and everyone wants to have fun at the end of the day. So what do I want my legacy to be? The guy who not only showed why he was one of the best guys that this or any company seen from a quality standpoint, but in an attitude standpoint, a work ethic standpoint, and just for having fun. |

| Bump.
For me, it's finding myself in that goat circle but equally as important is the story that I write for the O'Hara character. Something that has deep and meaningful moments, something I can write out in a wikia and without even pointing people in the direction of the E-Fed and the matches, segments themselves, can stand back and be like "Fuck, that's a good fucking story". Beyond the WHC reign, now it becomes a power gain of sorts. Getting better, facing the best, beating the best; that underlying theme of refusing to be anything but second to even the greatest and a refusal to stop until that's achieved. Making 'Ace' mean something as equal to Gawd or Machine.
But ultimately, the legacy falls wherever the story concludes and making that conclusion the best possible conclusion I can make it - something memorable, something that genuinely strikes emotion in people who read it - is what I want my legacy to end on. |

| I believe my legacy as of right now is a fairly obvious one. It is that of the prototypical underdog scratching, clawing, doing everything within his power to slowly but surely climb all the way up to the very peak of the mountain and scream at the top of his longs from said vantage point to alert any and everyone that yes, he did make it despite how many doubted him along the way.
*ahem* run on sentence aside...My goal as Nasir was to be a pillar of hope for all the guys and girls who have come in after him that yes, you can make it to the top with enough hard work and dedication. It may take a long, long time and you will most likely have to travel down a very difficult and at times disappointing path to get there, but the satisfaction at the end is SO worth it. I still hope to use my reign as a beacon of light to those who are unsure that they can make the distance.
Also I've wanted Nasir to prove himself as the now crowned Leader of this current crop of talent, the centerpiece of the generation if you would. The unsung hero from years past finally claiming what he felt should have been his. The Face of the time, if you would.
And finally with me being in and out so much in the first half of my run, the story of making up for lost time is a big one to me. |

| Not the best or anything. Just simply to a a guy that people want to face and have it mean something beyond just a mere match. I think it's a pretty big deal alone just become so reputable that when someone faces you, and you lose, people are like "Wow, I wasn't expecting you to lose that one, but good for you to take the L to let someone else shine." Kind of like DEDEDE and what he did with SK. Because at some point, when you reach the top, world title and all, you either focus on defending it or winning as much as possible, or you prioritize on using your legacy to create new ones through feuds and story. I think the latter is what allows people to make a huge lasting impression, and the way DEDEDE is now, even with not losing, he's still a big deal for people to face that by all means, only helps their character and career, when in truth, DEDEDE could stop if he wanted to and be one of the biggest names in EAW history. This sound like me kissing his ass, but to simply put, I want my character to hit the same status as DEDEDE's, not in a Gawd sense, but just based on how influential and admired it is. I don't feel I need to prove myself or anything, even though there is always room to improve, but I want people to be like, I want to face that guy and prove myself. I want to set a frickin bar. |

| Hmm. There are two answers to this...
As a fedder, my only concern with Cloud is making the biggest impact (no pun lol) I can on my brand and everyone else around me. Azumi has taken a liking to Cloud's background in JET and has applied it to her own character; Aria has made countless NEO babies trained by Cloud; Carlos and Keelan are my fellow stablemates and has adopted the Wild Boys as their own; Half of the women's roster has used 'sweets' at one time or another. I feel that Cloud's legacy is already cemented. All that's missing is a world title reign.
As a writer, the legacy I want is something similar. When I took over Empire, my goal was to do a 'soft reset' on the brand. There were no retcons, but I took the opportunity to present a different show with Flannery McCoy taking over the GM spot on the week of my episode. I want to present Empire as a land of opportunity of sorts, where everyone feels like their character matters. It's a daunting task sometimes because not everyone can have the spotlight all the time, but I hope the current roster looks back on their time in my brand as a fun one. |

| I have nothing.....
Seriously tho, I really don't have anything that I can be proud of during the 3+ years since I've been here. I have nothing but my persistence and stubbornness. I am not leaving this place until I can do something big even just once. And hopefully that's just enough something for me to be remembered after I'm done here. That is all. |

| Not much other then when there was a challenge I always stepped up to the plate. Also a motivation for others who would’ve thought 5 years ago even 3 when I first came back I’d be in the position I’m in now. Just know hardwork does pay off in everything you do. I know there’s probably a couple of bozos who don’t agree with me being champ but I worked hard for this since I came back. I just want to be remembered as someone who worked hard for what he got and used as a motivation for people who think their hard work will never pay off. |

| I don’t know about legacy but I’ve always wanted to be known as the the guy who always put in the effort. Kinda like a Kenneth Faried, not necessarily the most talented but always willing to go out and out work the other guy. |

| Not sure right now.
I guess it would be as someone who's persistent. I mean how many people thought I would last a few months here? Or even a month tbh? I couldn't believe that I even lasted a year when I did reach that. I want to be remembered as someone who grew over time. While others were racing to the top, I was running a marathon (If that makes any kind of sense). |

| I think I'd want Wilson to be remembered as an extreme competitor who's ready to put his body and mind on the line for the sake of winning and having fun. I see him with a history of high profile hardcore matches and high profile matches period with time and a few titles including one World Title and perhaps Tag Team Title somewhere down the road. |

| I think I wanna be remembered as someone who unknowingly arrived at a pretty pivotal turning point for women characters in EAW, and who (with A LOT of help) took the ball and ran with it. As soon as I realized the division was wedged in a kind of "sink or swim" position post-PFP 8 clusterfuck match bullshit and pre-inaugural Empress of Elite tournament, I realized that I was part of something special and I didn't just wanna be a spectator. I wanted to really, really contribute and I feel like I have. Long story short, I wanna be remembered as one of the girls who jump-started our version of the women's revolution.
I also just wanna be remembered as someone who just really, really loved EAW -- even with all of the ups and downs and crazy stuff I never could've possibly foreseen. I've said it before, but I joined this place at a point in my life when I needed a distraction and EAW didn't just give me that. I got the creative outlet I wanted, but in the bargain, I also gained a whole surrogate family. EAW gave me a lot. So whether as a promoer, a writer, unofficial wiki baroness, or whatever else, I've done what I can to give back to this place. |

| I just want to be remembered as someone who helped lay a foundation for Empire to flourish, someone who was a fun promoer who did stuff that not everyone else was doing, and as someone who could be considered a good member of the EAW community. All that in-character legacy stuff I leave to writers and people who care about such things to figure out. |
