XWL's 4 Year Anniversary

It's snuck up on us this year, but yes folks in just a few short days XWL will be officially celebrating it's fourth year as a league. What was started on a whim has now become a league that defines fair, and strives to give it's members the most fun that can possibly be had. While no one is perfect, and we're no exception, through the good and the bad XWL has proven to be a place where guys and even girls who follow the WWE video game series can come together to not just play a video game, not just create amazing feuds that possibly could never happen in real life, but be apart of a community that becomes almost like a second family the more time moves on. Members come and go, but the league and it's purpose never change. It only grows and learns, it has it's ups and it's downs, but at the end of the day we've all made XWL into what it is. Every member, whether still with us or long gone, every feud and the effort put into it whether new or not. It's all helped us reach this incredible mark, four years, some leagues don't even make it past the first year, but thanks to everyone and their hard work we've seen our two year anniversary, our third, and in just five days, our fourth.


But this isn't just a time of reflection seeing how much XWL has changed, it's our opportunity as a community to celebrate this in the form of awards. For those of you that weren't with us last year what I mean is it's time for the Slammy Awards! Every year around XWL's anniversary we have our special Slammy Award Show for the kayfabe awards, but also a special thread for the member awards. This year will be no different, the Slammy Award Show will be held the week before November To Remember, from the 18th to the 25th, and so it is at this time that we ask you the members for your help.
