Hi all,

As we have just had the Rise to Greatness deadline pass, this is when we go into our yearly hiatus. It's an opportunity for all of you to recharge, see families, maybe find out what that giant yellow orb is in the sky....okay, I'm kidding a bit. But it is a time for you to step away and recharge (and for me to do the same).

A couple of things to note - while SCW will be on hiatus until it starts our 24th(!) season in September, there will be some things going on.

First, if you noticed the news report on the website, we are bringing back the yearly awards, but I'm putting them to be part of the Rise to Greatness weekend as this is our normal "end of season" period. I will have cateogories, nominations, and what not up in the next day or so with about a week to accept votes. This also may give you a chance to review some of the shows from the last year and a half and hopefully look back on some of it fondly.

Second, more to avoid any issues, there will be no updates on Rise to Greatness for at least two weeks. The earliest I will announce a timeline for posting is August 22. This is intentional - both so I can take a few days completely away from the fed, but also so people aren't asking about when the show is going up. In the meantime, I will be however posting a schedule for the rest of the year and likely doing some other updates.

That said, tentatively, the plan is to return during the first week of September and to this end, Breakdown will be moving to Wednesday nights. This is done for my own schedule. Thursdays have been a long day for me for many years, and it will likely continue this fall and into the winter. My hope is that I can do the heavy lifting (judging and most pre-writing) before that day, so I can get into a good groove when we return. I still enjoy doing this and I hope to continue to doing it at a high level for a while more.

To that end, I will also be using the website more often. I've started to try and do that in the build to RTG. Part of this is to rebuild those habits I had when I was younger and to use everything we have at our disposal to have a great fed experience.

I also bring up the above in case you know of people thinking about joining SCW. This is a great time for them to come in at a fresh point and it allows us to also have some fun with a potential BD after RTG style show. For those who are in SCW already, this is also an opportunity to reconsider your roster of characters, if you want to add or remove a character, or if you're looking to develop goals for the next year. I will do my best to respond as I can.

Finally, I look forward to reading all of your roleplays for Rise to Greatness and I hope that the show I can write will be worth the way. Enjoy some time away and, of course, I'll still see many of you on the fed discord.

I doubt this will be a final farewell and I will be popping my head in from time to time...

However, some might have noticed I didn't show the last two matches. I really lost the motivation to write for SCW as a whole. The last two months I've spent writing and working on short stories, seeing several to completion and that seems to be where my priorities are at. For the first time, I'm finishing ideas and concepts, though now the focus has been narrowed but perhaps I can build on it to some more lofty goals, but for now, I am going to keep on these writing projects.

It's been fun, crew. Maybe down the road I'll get the itch again.

Rise to Greatness is just around the corner. The biggest event of the year always draws fans from all over the world and to those attending live, or watching on television or pay per view, SCW can confirm what to expect on the two nights.

Rise to Greatness weekend begins with the final hype on Saturday, August 8. There, fans will witness the following matches:

The Great and Secret Show (Jessica Heart & Dylan Howell) vs. The European Fiery Nation (Dakon Theron & Ludvig Eriksson)

Scarlet Carsons & Kirsten Scott vs. The Vision

Federico Gasperoni vs. Flash

Crystal Zdunich vs. Chase Upshaw

Fans will also see the SCW awards returning, no longer an end of the year tradition, but now to be a regular part of Rise to Greatness weekend. This year’s awards will celebrate on matches, events, and the best wrestlers from January 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026.

Then, on Rise to Greatness XXIII’s main card, on Sunday, August 9, the following matches will take place:

BIO: Bekah has just over one years wrestling tuition at ‘Next Level’ and wrestles for the most important person in her life, her daughter Rosie. Bekah is the daughter of the legendary Orlando Cruze, a product of a relationship with Sallie Cruze who he split nearly thirty years ago. Orlando didn’t have much to do with her, but she doesn’t hold a grudge these days after the death of her mother.

Signature: Cruze Missile – Well known around the world as a technically perfect missile dropkick

Finisher One: Cruze Clutch - Submission where she traps one of her opponent’s arms behind their back in a hammerlock, threads her legs around their waist to control their hips, then pulls them backward into a tight cross face. It attacks the shoulder, neck, and upper back simultaneously, making it difficult to escape

Finisher Two: Cruze Eclipse - From the top rope, she launches into a corkscrew moonsault, spinning sideways through the air before completing the backward rotation and landing across her opponent’s torso. The extra twist makes it feel unpredictable and difficult to counter
