Hello to anyone that still comes back to the good old IWF forums just thought I'd pay a vist and say a few things now that the IWF seems to be finally over.

I'll just start off by saying that this fed without a show of a doubt was the best efed I ever roleplayed in for pure fun and enjoyment. When I arrived here I was a bad to average roleplayer with a pretty basic charater for my wrestler but thanks to this place he grew into a complex creation with personality and emotion. Gabrial started out being nothing more than a typical dark gothic gimmick but thanks to the great roleplayin by other roleplayers and the great stories he was involved in he became so much more over time. Now I will never say I was the greatest roleplayer there ever has been but over my time here my roleplays grew and grew to the point where I tried to tell a story in each one. I enjoyed doing it because no matter who I was facing I knew that I would have to outwit him and roleplay him to win whatever match I had on the card. I worked my way up the card month by month as my character began to grow a personality and by the end I hope people liked what I had created.

During my time in the IWF I was lucky enough to roleplay with numerous great roleplayers who each had the own styles and humor that made the place just that bit better. To talk about each of them would take forever but if there ever was a IWF Hall of Fame then I know which guys I would definatly place in it. Blackwolf, Danyon Mayhem, Bigman, Excaliber, Hodge, Brandon Haddix, Jake Lansing, Chris Crush, Y2J and Dark Angel and the ones who stick in my mind that set an example on how to rolelpay and how to enjoy doing it. Most of them at one time roleplayed against me and every fued was enjoyable wether a won or lost. I must also praise Miguel for allowing me to first off join the IWF and then helping me and my character to progress over time in the IWF. Some of the storylines and angles were simply brillant and I always looked forward to reading the results to see what happened that week to Gabrial and the rest of the roster. Miguel gave us a great efed that was fun and enjoyable and made it feel like we was a family pulling together to make a great fed that we cold all enjoy.

But now the place is over and the curtains have appeared to have closed for the final time and the place has been counted out. I will never forget my time here in the IWF and I will pop back to this forum form time to time if its still here to see if any of you guys are still around. But with this place in closure Gabrial will now be no more and I have retired from the efed roleplaying world for good. I was never the greatest roleplayer around but I did gain alot of enjoyment from doing it. I will miss good old insane Gabrial but without anything to keep him around I see no point in bringing him back or carrying on. In my time I won the World title, I.C Title, Tag Title and the Euro belt so at least the old belter Gabrial had a good career! But all things must come to an end so its R.I.P Gabrial, I hope that anyone that is still roleplaying has a great time and if you need any advice off an retired roleplayed dont be afraid to ask!!
