All in all, I think this year's Pain For Pride was a massive success, and not because of any one person obviously, but because of the collective effort of every single person who contributed. At the end of the show, I (writing Pierre) thanked everyone who's supported EAW and helped make it into what it is after 10 years, and I genuinely mean it. You guys are incredible. You're creative, you're unique, and you're hard-working, and without you, this place would be nothing.

Thank you to all of the writers: Senn, Brian, DEDEDE, Ken, Stark, Xavier, Carlos, Oasis, and Eclipse for busting their asses to give everyone something epic to read.

Thank you to Jamie O'Hara for going out of his way to make such badass graphics all the time with Pain For Pride being absolutely no exception, as well as the awesome Openweight Championship designs that he made from Goddamn scratch.

Thank you to Tre for being such an awesome VP and helping us progress this far, bringing us to Forumotion and now to Discord and helping us adapt and do that much better.

Thank you to Diamond Cage for the great videos he made for us for both the Hall of Fame and Pain For Pride.

Thank you to every single person that put their time and effort into posting a promo and setting what I'm certain is a record for any show ever with an insane amount of promos of like 250+ posted.

And last but certainly not least, thank you to everyone who participated in the live Pain For Pride shows, because without you, there wouldn't have been any live shows, literally. You guys spared your time for us to come together and give you something we worked very hard on, and whether you liked it or not, I truly appreciate you showing up and contributing.

Thank you.

I do have a few people I would like to thank.

Thank you to Robbie and Eclipse for giving me the opportunity to write for the biggest show in efeds. I volunteered to help and you guys took me up on it, I appreciate that more than you know. 

Thank everyone who pointed out everything that was right...and more often than not, WRONG with the Battle Royal. I appreciate the honesty, especially from Moongoose, Banks, etc. There were some circumstances at play that made things a little strained for writing, but if some of yall enjoyed despite that, I'm happy.

Thanks to all the writers of all the matches. You guys put together an amazing show that was very fun to see in chat. I look forward over the next day or two of reading the show in full just to get the full scope of how epic it was. 

Thank you to Madison, Cloudy and Revy especially for making the past week of promoing an enjoyable experience in this character. 

I don't know how much longer I'll be doing PFPs, so I don't take any of them for granted when it comes to writing or participating in a match. Thanks, EAW.

A TEAR IN ME EYE.

Full credit to you, Robbie, for keeping this place together and in order. So few can do it; it's nothing but completely and utterly professional. You set the bar in so many ways - from writing, to promoing, to running this joint. What I do is so minimal compared to what you do for EAW. Absolute fuckin legend.

I couldn't have pictured a better way to cap off season ten. This year's show was an absolute spectacle, just amazing from top to bottom. All of the writers who played a part should feel proud. For me personally, I'm (obviously) over the moon and looking forward to what's next. I know we're only gonna continue to one-up ourselves going forward.

Thank you to Cailin and Cameron, who made this past week both suuuuper fun and taxing as fuck. You're both top-tier promoers who I've had a million run-ins with, but it never gets old. Every time, you make promoing against you feel exciting and new. I knew as soon as this match took shape that the three of us would do wonderful together, and we did. We had the biggest women's match in EAW history together, and there's no other people I would've rather shared that experience with. I love you both so very much.

Thank you to Eclipse, who has gone out of his way to make me look amazing since taking over Empire. I know that my character is in good hands with you. And of course, thank you for that STELLAR Triple Threat match and my badass entrance. You've done right by me every step of the way and I couldn't be more grateful. 

Thank you to Jamie for the fucking PHENOMENAL secondary poster. You don't know how amped I was to see myself on that poster, man. You made us girls look like a million bucks.

To Robbie, DDD, Brian, Tre, and everyone at the helm, y'all are fucking icons who do everything in your power to make this place something we all find joy in coming to every single day. Thank you. Now, let's get this season eleven shit crackin.

Since we're doing this I feel I should thank some people, as well as so my appreciation for EAW as a whole. I came into EAW about a year ago, right before PFP last year as Riki NAKAI. I didn't really know the customs and immediately became discouraged through results, matches being too short to inspire promo work and time restraints. I left and came back before ultimately leaving. Until November, where I came back with the Finnegan Wakefield character and have remained active ever since.

The main reason I left the first time was that I was admittingly shy to meet new people, and didn't think I'd fit in. However since I have become social with most of you, I have only regretted not doing so sooner. I have made what I'd like to consider friends here, and have had a lot of fun shooting the metaphorical shit with you all, especially since moving to discord. I've had the odd rocky month but forever glad I stick around because I enjoy this more than I thought I would.

I can't give thank you's to everyone by name as it may take too long. I'd like to thank all the friends I've made here, all the writers who've written my matches, all the people who run the shows I've been on, all the people who've made me lovely pictures and signatures, and last but not least, thank you to La Diva for being the most inspiring character.

EAW has become a second home. Thank you for a lovely season 10. Here's to an equally as lovely, if not moreso, season 11.

We all did something really amazing this past week, and that was make not only history in this federation, but perhaps even history in ALL E-Feds. 250+ promos in one week is unreal! Big props to the writers this week for writing unbelievable matches, and of course the board. Without you guys this place would be incredibly unstable. 

Finally I want to thank Lars, Maero, Oasis, TLA and Nico Borg for the greatest promo battle I've had since joining EAW back last August. You guys really brought the best out of me and I hope I brought the best out of you too. Hopefully come the draft aftermath, I might get to face some of you again. Congratulations again to Nico for winning Cash in the Vault as well! You will be a great World Champion someday!

PConsidering I've only been here for barely a year, I must say:

WOW.

What an experience Pain for Pride has been for me! Everything; from the promos, to the GFX, to the actual event, everything was amazing! Now I'm no good at making really long, thoughtful messages to compliment ya'll, but I'll name peeps.

Thank you Robbie, Brian, Ken, or anyone else who wrote for Pain for Pride, giving us fantastic matches. Also another thank you to Brian, Ken, Jay, or anyone else who have supported me for so long. You guys really make this place better than it already is.

Thank you to Aria, SK, Cam, Finn, and everyone who I believe are great people and even greater friends. Ya'll are awesome promoters and you all killed it on the promo page.

And obviously, thank you to Keelan, Maero, Nico, Scott, and TLA for also giving me one of the best promo battles and matches of my life. You guys pushed me to my absolute limit and made me an even better promise than I was before. Keelan and TLA, how in the hell did you guys manage to post promos until double digits?

Seriously, thank you all for being so great and making my first PFP an experience that I will surely never forget. Here's to an even more exemplary Season 11.

Being in PFP is such an honor, especially in a title match, so thank you Robbie and Brian for giving me this opportunity.

Thank you to Matt Ryder and Tyler Parker as well for being showdown writers and giving me some opportunities as well. Miss you both.

Thank you to The High Rollerz for a great promo wars as well. You guys are very awesome.

Thank you to The Pizza Boy and Lioncross for being in Stuffed Crust with me. You both are great friends as well.

Thank you to the board and the rest of all the members as well. EAW is a great environment (H).

I haven't been here too long but this fed is incredible. I've never ever experienced a life show before the weekend and my first one really set the bar high. Massive credit to all the writers, the commentators and the crowd for making the show amazing. Gotta say I'm looking forward to my next live show after that one.

Shoutout to all them hardworking homies who been workin' hard. You the real goats. Know all y'all appreciated as fuck. Much luv to all my dawgs. Season 11 y'all know where the good shit be at.

Thank You my guy, pleasure was all mine. 

A big shout out to everyone who showed up on the boards and made this a lit week in EAW.  Writers, you all do amazing work, week in and week out.  Much love to ya'll.  Many thanks as well.  Doesn't get said enough.  Looking forward to what this next season brings.

Thanks to the writers first and foremost.  You guys write awesome shows week in and week out and still somehow make PFP feel special every single year I've been here.  It was punctual this time as well, which blows my mind considering the workload behind it.  

Thank you for making me champion.  It's probably your only flaw as a writing team.  You've made a horrible mistake. 

PFP X goes down in the history books as one of the best PFPs ever. I always question myself how you guys manage to top it every year, but you somehow do. I have complete faith that PFP 11 will be something to look forward too! Thank you, Robbie, DDD, Brian, Senn, Oasis and everyone else who contributed with writing. We can only envision what things will be like, but you bring those visions to life.

Thank you to Eclipse for being such a kick-ass writer for Empire. You did a fantastic job with both my matches. I love what you did with my entrances, especially the Consuela one which I will remember for years to come. I know that I am in good hands with you. With you as writer, I know you will reveal some things within my characters that I never thought were there. People need to show you love more often and we appreciate everything you do for us girls.

Thank you to Aria, Cailin and Brody for making this week fucking hell, but fun experience to remember. Aria and Cailin, I wouldn't want to share this moment with anyone else. You two were the perfect PFP opponents and I competed in what as probably one of my dream matches. We competed in one of the most anticipated women's match in EAW history and that is something I cannot process. Brody, I knew that you were going through your personal shit, but you did as much as you can. You still managed to bring  as much as you had in the promo page. If you do manage to get your rematch, I cannot wait to see what magic we produce in the promo page when you become super active. 

I like to thank Xav (KILLED IT as Theron), Jamie (I cried when I saw the secondary poster. I crossed being in an FPV poster off my EAW bucket list) and Sharpy (YOU FUCKING GOT A TITLE) for being GOAT friends to me. It's nice to know that you guys are looking out for me and are passionate about what my character can bring to the table (even more than I am sometimes). It's nice to know that the four of us walked out with at least something to be proud of.

I'm excited to see what Season 11 brings. I hope to improve and evolve my characters in anyway possible and I cannot wait to see people finally get the title reigns they deserve.

Pretty much this.

I don't wanna be here all day because I could write a damn HOF speech with all the people I want to thank, so instead I'll just say that Season 10 was one I'm sure we'll all never forget and it only gets bigger and better from here heading into Season 11!

Words really can't describe how much appreciation I have for this place. From day one I could tell that this place is great. you guys continue to raise the bar and continue to break glass ceilings with the effort that you guys put in. You guys truly care about the storylines, you truly care about the characters, and you just truly care about giving us the best. To the writers you guys do such an amazing job and you guys really need to understand how appreciated you really are. I know that I personally couldn't handle all the stress that you guys go through with running a Fed. It is hard but you guys make it seem so easy and that is because the staff is so wonderful and friendly. To the graphic designers, you guys really make this placce stand out. One of the main things that attracted me about this place was how it looked. The presentation really showed me that you guys were the real deal and you guys are greatly appreciated just as much as the writers are because you make the boat float along with them. This place is my home I don't see myself being complete without being here I've said it so many times when all the darkness surrounds me in my life you guys have been the one light shining making sure I never gave up. I've met great people here and some people I consider lifelong friends, so I really can't express how much I love this place but just know that this place is truly appreciated. This was my first pain for pride and it was amazing you guys went all out and made it so memorable for me. there's a reason why you guys have made it to 10 years. It's because of the hard work, the dedication and the effort that you guys put in and it truly pays off and I hope I speak for everyone when I say that you guys are never under appreciated. I really hope you understand and comprehend how much this place means to me because it truly means a lot, so thank you

This thread wouldn't be complete if we didn't thank CM Banks. He's the reason why there is an EAW. Regardless of if people agree with everything in the past there's no denying it took a true leader for someone to do what Banks did in 08 when he had to deal with stiff competiton in a land where feds were dying left and right, and had two assholes in me and HRDO to deal with as head writers, and a restless roster full of huge personalities and egos. People take EAW for granted so much but there was a time where this place was not a monopoly and had existential threats. Banks couldve allowed EAW to fold and let ACW or ACWF run everything, he could have dropped the ball in many tough, difficult times but he kept it going as the longest running chairman to this day.

We also have to thank Mak who took the leadership helm late in 2008 when Banks wasnt available and ran it amazingly. His run as chairman was legendary, he was an amazing leader, a feared and respected chairman who gave the position far more authority and weight and was the first man to run EAW while being a writer - and an amazing one at that. Both Banks and Mak deserve memorial shows for what theyve done and Im glad they still even show up and salute to banks for being willing to participate in PFP and promo his ass off.

I would be honored to be buried and humiliated by both these men. My body is ready for them to do as they please with.

Thanks to all of the writers. Thanks for the opportunity to truly show what I am. Thank you for the support you gave me especially you Lucas Johnson, if you read those dumbass lines, Cloud of course for rebuilding my character, Brody Sparks as well. I thought I was gonna quit soon due to some problems but no, I stayed, I work'd my ass off, you rewarded me with something I didn't think that was possible, for a newbie like me and especially French in a big structure like EAW. Opportunities.

I made some friends most notably Cloud, Brody, Johnny Nova, Nas, The Sanatorium and more. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. 

Hope this season 11 will kick some ass.

Bro, there is a reason you were chosen to write this match than anyone else, and as I've said, chances are, no one would had done any better than you could. As lame as my criticisms are, people like different thing, and I'm certain my writing style is just as horrible and people don't like them, but regardless when I write matches, it's for the people involved, and you did no different than that. I like matches that are traditional, and more often or not, I don't like multi-man matches because it leaves little room for story telling and frivolous things, I just don't care for. But your goal was to give everyone involved a moment to shine and you got the job done. It probably was more my problem than a "your writing" problem, and I'm not afraid to admit I'm really outdated and boring when it comes to writing matches. You know what works and needed to be done, and I would not had accepted knowing I would had done a piss poor job writing it. No matter what happened, you took something convoluted and chaotic and made it something a majority of people enjoyed. I will say, I have no basis on anything other than my own, and perhaps I said it badly, but I was trying to say you were given a tough task and people should cut you some slack. That was my main intention saying no matter how good you wrote a match, a 34 men battle royal where you want everyone to get a moment will not be great in a live chat setting, because it will drag on. You did a great job. I was not trying to tear you down. But dude, you are a great writer and you took on a challenge, and that alone is respectable and appreciated. I did enjoy your match and some moments. But sorry, if I made it sound a lot worse than that.
