Hey everyone. Julie here. You may know me better as Star Stormz, or Alexis Makarios, or Candy, or maybe even Richard Rider. Today, I have some news to share with you all.
As of when the 7/20 Riot posts, the doors to PWS:APEX will be closing. At least for now. I know, it's a sad moment, and I am handling my own grief with this. But it has to be done.
I have failed as a leader lately. I apologize for that. Me and my staff are so burnt out that it isn't even funny. As you have noticed, our roster is thin. I can count the number of handlers on 2 hands. This makes booking difficult with minimal opt ins. Long term feuds are nearly impossible. Title contenders are so hard to pick properly.
You guys deserve a staff and a leader who can get shows up on time, post cards without difficulty, and not feel overly stressed about every little thing. You guys deserve better, which is why we decided to close things down.
To preserve the good name of PWS that myself and many have tried to make over the years… it's time to preserve that. We have been on life support for a while. We all know this.
I love all of you guys, you are like family to me. So this doesn't mean it's permanent. In 6 months or a year we can discuss reopening with a new roster and new staff. I'm gonna leave the boards open so you guys can still do any CD threads if you want. I'm also gonna leave the discord open so we can still chat about things because we are friends.
But we won't be doing shows anymore.
I know this is not a popular decision, and it breaks my heart to do. The legacy of PWS will live on. But right now, it's time to close. At least for a while. Recharge, rethink, and rework things.
I want to thank you all for your loyalty, for all the fun times we have had, and for all the effort you guys have given for this place. It doesn't go unnoticed. I truly love you guys. And I want to thank you for all the good times and memories we have created, for all the stories I have watched unfold, and for all the tales we have helped each other tell over the years. The creativity you guys have shown, I am so proud of everything we have done! Thank you all for allowing me to be your leader all this time.
I want to thank some of you individually.
Gary- thank you for stepping up when needed and being a sounding board. Pws wouldn't be the same without you
Ally- girl you have saved my ass so many times! Thank you for rising to the occasion and helping me out so much!
Jimmy and Josh- You guys dedicated several months of time and effort as staff, helping me book cards and write matches. Thank you both for everything you did to help pws thrive
Laura- pws wouldn't be the same without our head bitch in charge 🤣 you weren't afraid to be the bad guy when needed. I know you haven't been able to do as much lately but… what you have done is priceless!
Levi- thank you for everything you have done for pws. Whether it be voting, writing some wild ass match, or helping me come up with said wild ass match… your creativity and talents are unmatched! You are a pillar of PWS, and always will be.
Peter- pws Apex wouldn't exist if you hadn't come to me to revive it. You helped us get our feet off the ground, and I'm eternally grateful for that and everything you've contributed.
So while this is goodbye for now, it's not goodbye forever. PWS will never truly die.
