AGCSWF: The Full Story -- No Lies"[The AGCSWF] has finally realized its destiny...to become a vast graveyard for the departed souls of a generation of talent." -- Razor Greetings and salutations, all. My name is...well, you can call me Christian Crawford. I have taken it upon myself to resurrect the forgotten name of the Assemblies of God Christian School Wrestling Federation one last bittersweet time. There have been many questions raised about the past and uncertain future of this strikingly popular entity. When it began over ten years ago, the AGCSWF was a simple, low-budget fantasy production that initially took shape over the course of a single night. Soon it would launch into a full-blown wrestling "season" which lasted for over a year and provided many moments of action, high drama and even humor. Created out of a combination of school pride and sheer boredom, the AGCSWF quickly added to its cast (all based on real-life students and faculty members) and continued to evolve its unique style. All matches were fought under so-called "hardcore" rules, which meant that anything was possible...and usually happened. Cliques were formed, rivalries were started, and titles were won, defended and lost. Before long, textual Pay-Per-Views were being planned out top-to-bottom. The only two people who were ever truly at work behind the scenes were myself and my best friend, "S.". The Federation was based on a private learning institution that "S." and I had both attended for the majority of our upper-grade school years. It certainly was a fun waste of time, but after a while the demands of the AGCSWF began to take a toll on our personal lives. We were attempting to put out two or three good "shows" a week, plus "S." had a periodic interview newsletter and we were both owners of Federation-themed webpages. I suppose you could say we made a rookie mistake and got in way over our heads. The strangest thing about all this was that we only knew of a few scattered wrestling fans/AGCS alumni who actually paid attention to what we were doing. We continued to press on and try to top ourselves, though, simply because we were having such a great time and no one appeared to object. It seemed so cool and engaging that we both wondered if we would ever be able to stop. Then, after what could generously be called a semi-successful run, the AGCSWF and its supporting cast suddenly dropped off the face of the planet. Deadlines were missed, title changes were forgotten, and our weekly show schedule went down the toilet. A couple fans posted concerned notes in the guestbook of the old AGCSWF website, and finally I sat down and tapped out an explanation. I don't have enough room to repeat that explanation here, but suffice to say that "S." and I had finally reached our creative breaking point. We had to move on; our real lives were catching up with us. We abandoned what I still believe to be our greatest team achievement. However, we often talk about bringing it all back someday in the future. Perhaps in a year or two, diehard fans of the AGCSWF will be part of a long-awaited resurgence. Or, maybe the website and newsletters will remain out-of-date as they have for some time. To all of our fans, I say thank you and please, never give up hope. To anyone who just happened to stumble across this tripe, I apologize for confusing you. See you soon, everybody... Christian Crawford (on behalf of the AGCSWF)
