Who's the character that's surprised you the most? Could be the very concept itself, or someone you didn't necessarily think bad about, but didn't expect perhaps how they blossomed and have grown?

What’s the best non-MGP RP you’ve read since you joined CAW fedding? There's things that exist besides MGP and SWF? I keed.

Neither. Pokemon didn't blow up in my area until I was a senior in high school. Even then, only one kid was into it, so there was no incentive to learn. As an adult, I have no nostalgia for Pokemon or that genre of entertainment in general.

is there anything that you didn't like wrestling wise that has grown on you?

Outside of Power Rise (since the answer is obvious), what are expectations for factions you had that haven't come true? What are things that have happened in certain factions that have surprised you?

What’s the best non-MGP RP you’ve read since you joined CAW fedding? This is a tough question, mostly because I don't read much outside of MGP unless it's someone I'm facing or have interest in recruiting based on their OOC attitude, at which point I'll go look and see if they're a good fit. I really just don't have the time with how much output we have here. I saw some stuff in CU:LT that was really solid. I've run into some solid work in TPW as well. Specific RPs would be tough for me to name because my memory is shit.
Would be easier for me to name handlers/characters that have impressed me rather than specific works. Most of the people who have impressed me, I've made a point to recruit for MGP anyway, lol.

Probably the main two, each for different reasons. I've mentioned several times how I expected Matt (Storm) to coast because created feds and RPing with a female character were both outside his wheelhouse, but I underestimated his ability to lean into a concept and make it work him. Just put on the latest "Top Match" for the championship. Tora, for how the character has just expanded naturally beyond being "over" and into what could be a fed mascot role.

Are you secretly jealous of my princess cup/mug collection?
Also, what trend from the old days of fedding are you glad died out?

is there anything that you didn't like wrestling wise that has grown on you? I'd say there's wrestlers that have grown on me more so any specific "thing." I've always been picky on what I like but there's things I enjoy from entire genres I generally dislike. I hate deathmatch wrestling but I'll watch Risa Sera peel her skin off with thumbtacks glued to a baseball bat for as long as she wants to do it.
I don't typically care for comedy wrestling but I always enjoyed Colt Cabana in ROH and I don't mind Orange Cassidy today.
I hated Matt Hardy, then he grew on me with the Broken Universe. Then I grew back out of him when the Broken Universe wouldn't go away and kept getting worse.

If there was ever a fed (and admin) you trusted you could work well enough with, would you ever do a crossover super show? I know that's more difficult since most feds are male-inclined, but just curious.

I haven't had any expectations fall through other than POWER RISE. We're generally on track with the five remaining factions, especially recently with all the new members fleshing them out.
Nothing too outside the box has happened beyond the pivot from POWER RISE that pushed Shuko MURDER-gun into a prominent role which, thankfully, they've grown into with early members stepping up and new members coming in that seem talented and reliable.
Sorry for the boring answer but I've been able to work with everything within the big picture for a couple months now, lol.
For the sake of something "unknown" being revealed here, I'll say there was a minor pivot in plans that made me push up the timeline on Jack joining the Dahlias. That was originally set for later in the year, possibly early 2024. But the story had needs and that was an area I could easily make a nip/tuck that allowed for an exciting twist.

I'm thankful that in-ring promos and interviews at house shows are dead. That used to be the bread and butter of every fed. I've written so many Jeff Jarrett in-ring promos at house shows, it's ridiculous. Imagine buying a ticket for a house show and having to listen to Jeff Jarrett and Vince Russo yap for 6-10k.

I know that's more difficult since most feds are male-inclined, but just curious. Due to my one rule (a male-identifying competitor will never wrestle in MGP), I'm not open to interpromotional warfare. Like you said, almost everything is intergender and I'm just not interested in writing it. I've heard the arguments for it and I agree 100% with the Street Fighter/fighting game logic side of that discussion, but I opened a joshi fed because I like joshi wrestling and that's what I want to write.
I would do a showcase event with the right fed where it's just 2 matches from this fed, 2 matches from that fed, etc. Obviously, I'd work with SWF because I trust Aria Knight with my life. I'd be open to working with TPW, Razor Wrestling, and NJFC as well. I just have no interest in MGP vs. any of those feds.

So we know you plan out months and months in advance. Last time was at December. Where are we at now? Also I'm curious, do you bake in potential for needing to shift or change on the fly? Not so much from a "This person quit" but a "THis character took off so much..." or does even in that situation it all still fits in the plans?

Do any of the faction leaders have secret hobbies that would surprise us? Im oddly amused by the idea of Shuko being into something mundane like croquet or scrapbooking about cats

Could you ever see members of factions taking leadership roles away from the original leaders (Crush, Shuko, Aoi, etc)?

Being that you have been doing this for a long time (mainly half of y’all)
Anything you feel you would like to achieve goal wise still or is MGP that peak for everything that has come to this point.

I make a point to create separation between the angles and the title scene as much as possible. That gives me a ton of room to pivot as needed and accommodate handlers/characters as they grow and improve.

My goal is to keep pushing and do better and better, and to hopefully maintain the inviting and team oriented culture that's been built here, all thanks to the great and talented people that make up this roster.
Immediate goal: get to Battles Without Honor or Humanity
Goal for this year: get to Triumphant Final Impact
Long term goal: get to a year of operation

I have concrete ideas through February '24 and ideas are expanding beyond that with every show.
