Like I did with the old forum, I put all of the LOA forms on here as it's easier for me and possibly Olek to keep up than doing LOA new posts all the time.

Date LOA starts: 21st September

Date LOA ends: 5th October

Reason: I'm going to Germany to see my partner due to going to a football (Soccer for you US and Canada guys and girls) match on 28th September. I know it's so unfortunate and bad timing it clashes with Fatal Fortunes, but I won't be able to RP for the event.

Good Morning and welcome to the latest edition of Confidential, your inside view on the comings and goings of the EMERGE brand of Supreme Championship Wrestling. I’m Sallie Graham, and this has what’s been happening in our little corner of the wrestling universe

There is a lot of noise going around about EMERGE at the moment, but perhaps the loudest is the potential call ups to the main roster. With the year coming to a close, it is thought that the SCW board is really looking at some of the talent, and that some may not even see out our first season. Of course, the name at the top of that list is Peyton Rice, the current EMERGE champion, who has made it pretty clear, her ambition to stand on the biggest of stages, but she is far from the only one. Drake Hemingway has also been mentioned in high end meetings, as well as Gavin Taylor. One name I can confirm not on that list at the moment is Mika Kozlov, who the SCW apparently classes as too great a risk. But of course, there is still plenty of this season still to pass, so someone else could still force themselves into the reckoning, especially Kim Williams if she wins in Texas

On the other side of the coin, I am also hearing that new signings will start to come in, with two confirmed to be in the battle royal at Invasion. Jenni Helms, Miss Misato and Tyler Jackson will definitely be there, but also coming up soon are Toxxin, Willow Wilkes and Zach Copeland, the latter of which has been working in Japan for the past three years and comes with a stellar pedigree. There are also other names that as yet, we are unable to confirm, but one of them is a former UWA Champion, so I’ll leave it at that. Either way, it looks like 2018 is just the beginning for EMERGE, and season 2 looks like it could be even better.

That’s why, it’s no surprise that I report the second piece of news coming out of Toronto, that being the EMERGE could be the subject of a buyout very soon. I hear that there are at least two separate parties interested in separating it from SCW and going it alone, though at the moment legally I am unable to name names. All I can say is that the value of EMERGE is growing with every show, and SCW is more than aware of that, and if they even consider a sale, it will only be for top dollar, and the buyer would have to be right.

Of course with any buyout, changes will be made… and although she has been widely regarded as one of the most successful General Managers of recent times, could it be that Vanilla Skyy could walk away at the end of this season? Again, not confirmed, but it has been reported by more than one source that she has become a little disillusioned with the situation regarding Mika Kozlov, and the graphic beat down that took place on her husband Danny Darko. My view is the SCW are very pleased with Vanilla’s work, and would never force her out the job, but if a new Owner does indeed come in, will they feel the same, or will they have someone else in mind. If Vanilla Skyy got even a scent that she was looking to be replaced, knowing her the why I do, I am certain that whoever is in charge would be in for a fight.

Moving onto Invasion which is now under a week away, it has been confirmed by reliable sources that Vanilla Skyy plans to make a huge announcement, which will change the landscape of EMERGE forever. The moment that rumour hit social media, everyone has been having their say, but the general consensus of opinion is that it is to help those that are not main eventing every week, to develop them quicker that we are currently seeing. It is thought that there is currently a ceiling to the main event, and Vanilla wants to put an end to that, though what that means, your guess is as good as mine.  Of course, anything that helps in the long run is a good thing for EMERGE as it continues to go from strength to strength.

I don’t know if anyone missed the announcement, but as of next year, EMERGE will be going bi-weekly, which means more EMERGE for your money if you are subscribed to supremecw.com. Not only that, it was also announced that we will be invading London, Munich, New York and Detroit. But we didn’t stop there, because EMERGE will also hit Miami Beach for an outdoor super show which promises to be off the chart, and in April, Invasion will air from the Symphony of the Sea Cruise Ship in a first for the SCW, an event that should be record breaking in more ways than one. Again, I think it reiterates, EMERGE is quickly making itself must see television

But forgive me, I’m already talking about next year, and this one isn’t over yet, because even once Invasion: Texas is in the books, we still have one more city to invade, America’s capital, Washington. I personally had a conversation with the General Manager, who promised that company was going to end the year with a bang, and promised something super special to go out on. Again as is the norm with these things, at the moment details are pretty vague, however she did say that they are ‘going to take a leaf out of SCW’s book’ which could literally mean absolutely anything. Whether we will find out in Texas, or we will have to wait till EMERGE #13 I don’t know, but I certainly get the feeling that this one will be worth the wait.

Well, that’s it from me for now folks, I hope you’ve enjoyed this quick five minute take on what’s going on, and I’ll be back soon with more info and rumours from the EMERGE brand and beyond. Take care of yourselves and enjoy Invasion: Texas.

As many have probably seen, I've missed two cards out of the past three.  In a nutshell, I've seen a lot of darkness to the point of this week having to fill out and sign a crisis plan, should I ever get back to where I was.  It hasan't been pretty, and because of an insurance debacle, I was actually without my mood stabilizers for days, which could have caused things to be a lot more dangerous than they already were.

So I'm sorry to everyone for that.

Now, what caused it... I'm dear friends with an individual who is in a relationship where she and her son are abused by her husband/son's father.  I've become close to the point he has lashed out at me to try and keep me from being friends with her, and started making threats against me and my family.  It was to the point I had to take out a temporary restraining order against this guy for his harassment and threats, culminating in the trial this week for the permanent order.

In a nutshell, I lost...

I walked in ill-prepared to prove my family's danger, and the order was lifted.  The night before and the subsequent night is when I fell into a stage of mental chaos where I didn't eat, and only drank.  Before Thursday night I MAY have slept a total of 3 hours since Friday.  When I woke up Thursday, I knew something needed to change, based solely on how I felt physically.  I was a disaster.  My boss at work and HR even called a wellness-check meeting with me to ensure I was doing everything I could to take care of myself personally.

With the trial now behind me, and medications back on track, I'm in a better place I believe.  The darkness I saw was scarier than I think I've ever seen, and I realized that there are pits of hell I don't even want to gaze into based on what I saw already.  I'm not making excuses.  This is a game, I know, but I have expectations of myself, and it's time I start doing things for me that I enjoy, and not just focusing on those around me.  That means I need to get back to being me and finding my happy place.

Every one of you here has been there for me in some form or fashion, and it's meant the world.  It's why I've only posted things like this here, and not on social media outlets at all.  For the most part, I've tried to keep this quiet because I'm scared to death of it.  It's got a grip on me, and honestly I thought I'd have this under control by now.  Unfortunately, it's going to be a battle, and it's going to be one where I ebb and flow until I'm settled in my own emotions, and honestly in a lot of personal issues I am faced with as well.  But this is one of my happy places.

I love you all, truly.  I apologize for not being active as I should be.  I plan on making that change as I figure out the balance of life again, but dammit, this is home, and you people are my family.

Hey guys, did you miss me?

No, you didn't. I know. Not the point.

So, this has been a rather bizarre month, and it's going to end with me no-showing the PPV I think. I'd like to RP for it but I don't really have the time this weekend due to a lovely American girl most of you know sleeping in Wasley's house and, you know, the fact that it's really inconsiderate to kinda tell her I need a day to do writing stuff when she's come all this way.

This month in full has been weird. First RP week I had my mother staying with me, so I had no time (because again, it would be weird to tell her that I can't do stuff after work and she has to sit on her own while I write stuff). Second week I had the most important appointment of my transition so far, and I was so paranoid/nervous about it I ended up getting Jon to go with me just to distract me and reassure me, which he did because he's amazing (and he may be a soulless ginger but you don't need a soul to be awesome). And then last week my plans were disrupted by work.

I found out last month I need to raise £12,800 for surgery I need, which I can't get on the NHS and I can't get via any kind of insurance, so when the option to do "a few hours overtime" came up on a day I'd planned to spend RPing I thought "awesome, a chance to earn £50 or so toward saving for the operation", which... you know, is a tiny amount but every little helps. That "few hours" turned out to be NINE HOURS of nothing but insane stress, so when I got home it was not only way, way later than I thought it would be but I was tired and stressed and everything I'd already written just got thrown on the backburner. Bright side is £50 toward my savings has become more like £200+ toward my savings... but I'd still rather have not gone through that whole day.

So... yeah, that's my month, ending with Nicole being a super fun blonde distraction, and my needing to find a way to raise £12,500ish... and no suggestions as to how right now. Good times!

My apologies for the lack of effort, but as I said, it's been a strange month and I'd really rather not miss out on a chance to do stuff with someone I won't see again for at least another year to sit at my computer like an antisocial bitch trying to win a fantasy wrestling title, you know? It seems crazy when you think about it like that...

Is there any potential for an EMERGE 'space' pleasey?

I know it's been muted over the weeks etc, but it would be most nice if it could be worked :-)

Used to be a staple on the old boards so, thought I would bring it back.

Amine- Dr. Whoever

Christine and the Queens- Doesn't Matter

Unfortunately, with only one match taken, Breakdown will be up tomorrow. I have now finished all of the matches. This however derailed me from finishing segments tonight, especially when I was asked to help my fiance with a few things today. I'm going to keep working tonight for a bit longer, but don't bother waiting up if you are.

Also, don't expect Apocalypse to be on time. I'm away at a wedding that I have to fly out to this weekend. I had hoped to spend part tomorrow getting a head start on writing to limit how late the show would be. Unfortunately, I need to spend that time finishing Breakdown and making sure I finish some research notes tomorrow as well before I even think about Apocalypse.
