I'm tapping out...

I'm gonna keep this short and sweet. A couple of you may already know by now, but for those who don't, DR3 will be my final show. I've been struggling for a while now, and while I would've loved to have ended things on a much higher note, I just couldn't muster up the motivation to do so. I'd like to apologize to Ty and Rome for the effort in my latest promo, but at least the FMW title will end up in more than great hands with whichever one of you guys ends up winning it. Mad luck to you both.

I'd like to thank Jaro for all of the opportunities that he has provided me through the years, and for also trying his best to keep going. Sorry for letting you down, bro.

And last but not least, I'd like to give much love to my II bros (I guy-love you dudes!), and also to Adam, Sky, Ty, Nash, Ben, and Jay. Catch you guys online.

I wouldn't count out a return, but I wouldn't hold my breathe with one either.

Peace out, cock-jockeys.

Sorry to hear you are leaving(although I had heard rumblings). I know that when you burn out, you just can't do much to get your mojo back.

The FMW will be poorer with you missing, but as you said there are two outstanding contenders ready willing and able to fill the void!

Good luck and hope to see you back here some time

Cheers

Zay,

I'm saddened that we never got to work together in a competitive or team oriented match.

It's always been a pleasure to read your promo's they've always been fun. I'm sure I'll be seeing you around, gone but never forgotten eh?

Peace out sir, you'll be missed.

You have nothing to be ashamed of with your final promo, in all honesty it may be my favorite promo of yours I've ever read. A fitting summary and finish to one of the most influential superstars in the fed.

Please, don't phase out completely. Stick around behind the scenes. Your input has never been anything but valuable.

If not, then stay in touch on AIM. I have a lot of acquaintances in FMW, but you're one of the few I consider a friend.

Thanks for everything you've done for us, Jose.

Jose, I'm going to miss you around FMW. From your surprising appearance in my life through a PM posted to Austin and I back in August of 2008 to the revealing of our mentor/protégé relationship and the ensuing birth of the Innovative Initiative, you've supported me in everything I went through both FMW-wise and IRL. I know you'll be sticking around on AIM and such if not more, but I still think this place is going to be a tad different without the Influencer of Innovation around.

I think I can resume everything with a single chant:

"Thank you Jo-se *clap clap clap-clap-clap* Thank you Jo-se *clap clap clap-clap-clap*"

CK.
