LETTIN THE CAT OUTTA THE BAG
Thanks for watching, everyone! It's been an absolutely insane 10-ish months since I talked to SC64 about doing a small wrestling stream to fill in the gap that IZWF left when it ended just to have a place to hang out with the EXP misfits and it snowballed into something beyond what I even thought was possible.

Behind the scenes this was a full on 24-hour a day operation, with contributors from every corner of the globe. Incredibly talented, creative people who took a big swing on learning and trying new things, and they knocked it out of the park every time. It's my name on the twitch account, but SAW is just as much theirs as it is mine.

Megamissen, tawal, Wiggly Wayne DDS, roxy, Stone Cold 64, KungFuGrip and Hazamuth, the core of the team put in hours that rivaled a full time job to make the show as fun and funny as it was.

We also had a group of contributors who put in their own share of effort, making videos, voice acting, contributing artwork, coming up with story ideas, Snooze Cruise, Namtab, ddinkins, That DICK!, copy, Rags to Liches and your friend sk made our content that much better and added some much-needed variety in style to keep things fresh.

SA Admins and moderators MacheteZombie, Pragmatica, vyelkin, Video Games and Jeffrey of YOSPOS deserve thanks for helping spead the word about the show helping spread the word, providing us with some free advertisements for our PPVs, making announcements and tolerating our occasionally shameless self-promotion.

I want to say thanks for everyone who contributed their own promos, or just kept the thread active, posted, watched, chatted, subscribed, donated. I had enough fun with the project that it was its own reward, but with the monetary contributions we have donated to charity, and the additional payments to staff have been a great way to thank them for everything.

So, what's up with Season 2?

We're currently in the concept art phase for Season 2. WWE2k24's early whale release is March 5th. We'll be creating a new thread in the next couple of weeks, with a new OP. Season 2 will have some great new features:

-Custom signs!
-New matches! (Gauntlet, Special Referee, Casket and more!)
-Actual run-ins during matches!
-New SAWBucks purchasables including keeping your PPV skin

We should also be having some early non-canon creation and exhibition streams in March, with perhaps one Canon Worldwide Special. In late March, I'll be off on vacation a few weeks and back to launch in mid-April.

the SAW Discord will remain active, since it's not just the home of SAW, but EPA Wrestling Club, hosted by Namtab. We'll also be having movie nights and special events during the hiatus.

Thanks again, and goodnight!

Congrats on the win, Ghosthorse.

I'll never stop doing drugs before matches, though, unless I get a different moveset in SAWson 2.

Give my regards to Assistant.

You fought like hell and kicked my rear end real good for a big chunk of that match, you've made me respect drugs. Maybe those psa's were wrong.



THANK YOU TO EVERYONE IN SAW THAT MAKES SAW SAW. THE WHOLE PRODUCTION CREW YOU'RE ALL THE BEST PRODUCTION CREW 4 LIFE. SWIZZLER THANKS FOR KEEPING THIS GOING AND ROXY AND KFG AND TAWAL AND HAZ AND MM AND EVERYONE THAT MAKES THINGS OR RUNS THINGS OR IS ON THE ROSTER. SEASON ONE HAS BEEN SO MUCH FUN YOU'RE ALL SO COOL.

Things didn't end the best for me, but during my time in SAW, I:

- Got my rear end beat. Like, a LOT.
- Won the Larryweight title.
- Lost the Larryweight title.
- Had my drug supply tainted by the gender gas.
- Got my rear end beat trying to engage in a college football-fueled forums war.
- Murdered a First Lady.
- Won the Goon-1 tournament.
- Discovered I should probably learn some more submission moves.

SAWson 1 is over and done. It's in the history books. But when SAWson 2 kicks off, I'll be there, inflicting horrific, drug-fueled, physics-breaking violence on my posting friends.

And I'll finish the story.

Great season! Had a lot more fun than I expected to, though I expected to be a tag team competitor or jobber, in truth. Just got lucky saying I wanted to do RKOs outta the gate, I guess!


Big thanks to Randy Orton's stats, my partner Kild, and ADTRW as always. ADTRW for life.


Hell probably sucked for the hours I was in it.

Also want to thank Namtab for being a good sport and also for letting a bunch of us know about this in the first place.

Also also want to thank everyone else, you made the chat and this thread so much more fun than I could have imagined. I got to meet a bunch of fantastic people from subforums Ive never been to and that on its own has been worth it.

Not my finest hour, but I'll say this. I kinda hoped going to hell would at last balance the ledger for my prior mistakes. Given the...fickle nature of dying here at the end of the season, I would 100% be okay with guest reffing a women's match if it meant I could put some of this poo poo behind me.

I cannot be baby face Lu if this poo poo keeps happening to me
