To William Everknight,


My name is Andrew but my friends call me Andy, I'm a fourteen year old boy from Florida and I'm your number one fan.

I've been following you since you first appeared for PWL back in 2006. I remember the first time I saw you, Bloodmonger was killing you in the ring and Mom wouldn't let me watch because there was 'too much blood'. Then my friend Kyle called me after the show and told me you'd won. I was hooked right there and then.

I watched every match I could find online and I bought every DVD. Then eventually I convinced my mom to take me to a show in the area and I finally got to see you in a person! That was the night you defeated Harry Cunningham for the PWL World Championship. I was so happy when you won and even happier when you spoke to me and signed my shirt. I framed it after the show and it's been hanging on my bedroom wall since. I know you probably don't remember me but I will always remember you. That was the best day of my life.

Anyway, I'm not writing to tell you my life story, I'm writing to thank you.

At the beginning of 2008 I was diagnosed with cancer. I felt fine at first, I felt normal, like nothing was wrong. I tried to live a normal life and for a while I did but that all changed. I got a headache that wouldn't go away, my temperature went up and down like a yo-yo and I couldn't stop throwing up. The pain got worse and worse. They had me on a drip because I couldn't eat or drink and after a while I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even smile and that broke my mom's heart.

They said I wouldn't live and we were all preparing for... They said I wouldn't see 2009 but here I am. Not only am I alive but I'm getting better and I could be completely clear of cancer by the end of the year. People are calling it a miracle but they're not giving me the credit I deserve! I'm not here thanks to magic or a gift from God, I'm here because I refused to give up.

I remembered your victory against Arch Angel Anarchist and it gave me hope. I remembered when you overcame 31 other men to win the Indy King Cup and it gave me strength. I remembered your ORW World Championship win WITH A BROKEN NECK! And I thought to myself, if you can overcome odds like that, I can overcome cancer.

You inspired me to show the same fighting spirit that you've shown throughout your career. You inspired me to fight back and never give up, like you've never given up!

That's what I like about you – it's not the fact that you win, it's that you lose and come back fighting, you lose and come back stronger than before. And when you do win, it's always against the odds. Take your first month in GIW. In your first match, you had to defeat TWO people. In your second match, you're fighting for the GIW.com Championship! Then at Toxic Intent, Michael Cappeli got to pick the stipulation and you still won!

Now you've got to face the Immortal, Lord of Pain, Donovan Hastings! A GIW main eventer in your fifth match.

I know you'll defeat Donovan Hastings – if I can defeat cancer, you can defeat him... but if you don't, you'll go down fighting and you'll be back, fiercer than before. And I'll be cheering your name no matter what.

Maybe thinking of me will give you the inspiration you need to win, like thinking of you gave me the inspiration I needed.

Good luck (even though I don't believe in that).

And thank you again for saving my life.

I didnt like it as much as one of your other rps.

I see it as reminding everybody of what you did.

Although the one thing I did like was that he sees you as a hero and no matter what he wil beleive in you.

Overall I think it was good but it could have been better.

But hey you are the champion and you didnt get there for being bad at what you do.

[Lord Hastings]

Oh, sure, squash the cancer kid's hopes and dreams. Meanie.

I actually thought this was a clever little piece, and it's a change for you that takes a risk with style, and that's always to be applauded. I might have liked to have seen a responding email back underneath that followed.

[andysavana]

I demand a last name...,,,go back and edit it to add a last name.

[Red Bull Icon]

The last name was Prescott!

And I agree a response would have been a really nice way to end the post, but as it stands it was still a nice out of the ordinary type post.

[Moss Works Jericho's Schedule]

I agree that this was a very inventive way of addressing the match and what it means to Will

[TheAUKid]

God damn it! LOL

Y'know that was actually my original idea! I'd write Andy's email and Will's response but I got thinking that maybe Andy's was enough. I really didn't know what Will could say to add anything to the RP or what had already been said.

To Hastings: I squashed the cancer kid's hopes and dreams? O.o Why, because I'm going to lose to you?

To Savana: Two words and they're not 'suck it'.

To Boolz: Prescott? No it would be something simple like Johnson but I don't know, it's not important.

AND to everybody:

Maybe I made a bad judgement call by not adding Will's response... personally, I still don't know. You're all probably right, my bad.

I know the concept's good, hell I'd even call it great but I also know it could've been better. Someone like Rob or Boolz or whoever would've done a way better job of it, I know.

Aw well, thanks for reading and thanks for the feed. I'll have to do some reading and feeding myself tomorrow!

Yes. I was teasing. I do that. It's actually why I went back and edited the other feedback in, so it didn't come across as I was being a jerk about it.

Good luck this week!

woulda loved to've seen what Will said to the Cancer kid, but meh, your promo mate.

liked the whole "I'm your biggest fan" thing, maybe he could get a tour of GIW for the make a wish foundation, or the casers version "Make a realistic wish foundation" as bad a joke as that sketch was.......

[Declan Prescott]

FUCK YOU TO THE FIERY ABYSS OF SATAN'S ASS CRACK! MAKE A REALISTIC WISH FOUNDATION WAS GENIUS! ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE EATS BABIES, WHILE TICKLING HITLER'S NUT BAG!

['The Cyclone' JK]

I never said it wasn't funny, it was hilarious, by bad joke I mean one of those ones where you know they've crossed a line and that one or more groups of parental censor groups that obviously don't have anything better to do, to get all up on their high-horse

[Declan Prescott]

It made no fuckin' sense, though. The week before they were joking about child molestation in the Catholic church and no one gave a fuck. Then all of a sudden giving a stick to a kid is worth a two week suspension from TV?

What a shit load of fuck.

['The Cyclone' JK]

well how about when they did that shit at APEC, and a few weeks before they were saying that the NSW labor party'd accept cheques from the KKK?

['The Cyclone' JK]

and sides, catholic priest molestation of kids is just common knowledge now....

[Declan Prescott]

They're Gods among men, I tells ya.
