So, nobody likes to make this post, especially off the heels of a pretty big PPV.
But the thing is, that you can't really ignore when the writing is on the wall.
This has been something that's been brewing around in my head for a little bit now and I think it's best to call it while a community of some sort is still intact.
I think it's time that I close Wrestleverse.
Truth is, we've been hemorraging members for weeks now. At first, we'd have a show and get a ton of sign ups, but as is the nature of efedding, few of those would stick.
This has been a pretty weird fed with the ideas and style and I get that it's not for everyone.
I don't blame anyone for leaving and hold no ill will against those who have or have told me that they plan to, but whether it's because the fed wasn't their style or they were upset at losses or they've decided to go with other fed commitments, people ARE leaving.
Honestly, I'm sitting here looking and trying to plot a card and future title programs/feuds for the next couple months and I don't have the people to do it.
Admins and some match helpers (Axis, you're a real one!) have been great, but it feels like a case of running a shrinking fed that I feel is only going to continue to do so.
I feel that continuing to pretend that the downtrends aren't effecting things and just chugging out cards knowing where this seems to be headed would be dishonest and unfair to all of you.
So, what's next?
Some know that I roleplay over in Action Wrestling as Spencer Adams. For those who find themselves displaced, I'd love to see you over there. It's a much bigger fed that's been going pretty strong for the last handful of years. This message will also be DM'd to all members for transparency with a link to the fed included.
Finally, a huge thank you to everyone for being a part of this and taking a chance on it. It's been a lot of fun working with you, reading the RPs, and booking this crazy ass fed. Hope to see you around- Danny Powers.
