Best wishes and lots of love to ya, Dimburuck!
And on a side note, thought you all might appreciate this. Probably the best stop-motion work I've ever seen

Just reading up on all this. Shocking to me just how much the world has changed between the time we were all active on here doing PPV's, and now.
Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.
RIP Duttanized. A true legend here back in the day. My main memories is of him (rightfully so) clowning my embarrassing teenage self. Would love to feel that old dynamic just once more.

Man, I have no idea what urged me to return here but the feeling of nostalgia is through the roof. Sad to see the place more or less finished.
The PPVs, matches, community. Wild!
Hope everyone is well.

I wasn’t ever the most active member of these boards, but lately I’ve been on a bit of a nostalgia trip and figured I’d check it out again. 10 years seems like such a long time, and then 10 years passes and you realise life is just as short as the adults told you it was, huh?
I’m 26 now, but looking back through these posts reminded me how fun it was being a teenager making animations and taking part in some of the PPVs. You guys were one of my few sources of happiness back then, and I’ll never be able to thank you all enough for that. I hope you’re all doing okay, and hopefully the next generation stumbles across this board at some point!
Take care,
Matt

Hey guys.
Long time no see. It's nearly 2am and thought about this place and decided to see how it looked. The amount of memories that came flooding back is almost overwhelming. Such amazing times were spent here with so many awesome people.
One of those people was Dutt. We used to chat a lot, bond over being Canadian, loving wrestling, and loving this place. We tagged together even though we both knew his anis were trash (lol he'd get a kick outta that). Anyways, when I came here and read the news of his passing, I was floored. I couldn't believe that one of us would leave this place forever. I just didn't think it could happen. So sad to hear about a good funny dude passing. I hope he's better wherever he is. Love you buddy, cheers.
While I'm here. I'd thought I'd give you an update on my life. Some of you may remember, but I'm hearing impaired. Wore hearing aids my whole life. Well now, I'm starting to lose my vision as well. It's been hard accepting it, but I'm trying. I've been reflecting a lot lately, both good and bad things, but one of the best things was this place. It kept me alive when I thought I had no reason to be. I met so many great folks through here, from all over the world, and you all made me feel like I had a million friends when at home it might not have been the same. The laughter, the jokes, the matches, the PPVs, the titles, the promotions, the anis, the rules, the comments; I remember it all like it was yesterday. Being on BlogTv with Blake, Mike, Andy, Auston, Bik, Myyqee, Ross, Sabin (Who by the way, has a Wfigs tribute on YouTube with over 2 MILLION VIEWS!), Scott, K3V, JWS, M, Joshua, LKS, Angus, Stevo- EVERYONE. It was the best being able to go somewhere everyday where i was accepted and loved, and I loved you.
Thank you, a million times over. Without you, I wouldn't be here, and I can truly say that without hesitation.
Thank you Wfigs, for everything.
Cheers guys, can't wait to come back again and check on this place.
Your friend,
DB

Your friend, DB Omg Deadbones I almost teared up reading this. I've felt the same way about this little forum for so long now and its amazing that so many of us have seemingly been coming back to catch up over these last few months, despite the bitter reason being Dutt's passing. Its a hard pill to swallow, but to some degree its good knowing he's been so appreciated by others around the world, and he would have been so happy to know that as well. I'm sure deep down inside he did know that and lived as best as he could. I hope you're doing the same, DB. I'm sorry to hear about your sensory issues. (no pun intended there I swear <3) But I'm sure you can keep your head up and make things as best as you can for yourself. I'd guess we're all, what, most in our mid-late 20s or so by now, and have so much ahead of us. |

I'd love to do something with as many of us as possible, set up some sort of reunion kinda thing. I made a discord server but with how hectic and busy life is, I don't know how we could organize something that's larger than a couple people at a time. Also does anyone have any contact with Rob (wwextreme25)? It's been ages since I've spoken with him and I never had him on any of his actual socials. I tried finding him in January to tell him about Dutt but I couldn't find anything about him online. |

Shed a tear reading, I wish you the best DB. I relate so much, I feel really blessed to have spent a piece of my youth with you guys on here.
Who still has their old animating figures? I've been selling a bunch of my old stuff online, but I couldn't bring myself to sell some old animating classics. DA Paul London is in a box under my bed and its all Stevo's fault.
Cam, drop a link to the discord server. Slowly folks can trickle in and hopefully one day we can arrange a couple of hours one weekend for a WF reunion call.

Sorry to hear that DB.
@andeh - all my figures are currently with my nephew! Looking forward to giving him a camera and some fishing wire to make really choppy, sh*tty animations that wouldn't even get close to the beginners title. It would only be right!
A discord where we could all reminisce a little more than sporadically on here would be cool.

I tried finding him in January to tell him about Dutt but I couldn't find anything about him online. Always tried to reach out to him. He was one of my besties. We literally walked past each other unknowingly when we went to New York. I went with family and he was going with a school group  Start up the Discord. The reunion call is awesome thinking  |

Sorry to hear about the health complications DB. Always valued your opinion and friendship. My diabetes is also beginning to take a toll on my body after years of living with it. Living with complications is extremely difficult, but somehow we'll manage. Take care of yourself, bro. All of you were my friends growing up and I'm fortunate to have met and interacted with so many rad individuals when things weren't exactly great at home. Always wanted to interact with everyone more, but it just wasn't as possible for me. Still have all my figures. Can't stop won't stop. (Well, maybe one day.) Animation set has been down for a few years though. Always wanted to get back into it, but alas. I'll join in on that discord whenever we make that reunion happen. - ThemeManXX  |

I think he would be very hard to find cause he never went by his actual name, if it helps his name would probably sound like it's from Serbia if he were to have left any tracks behind lmao |

Whoof. Where do I begin. It's been a long, long time since I've given a good hard look at this board. I deleted my wfigs account a long time ago in a decision I now regret, got my 2nd account temporarily banned because the admins just assumed anyone coming back to this site was a scammer, and now here I am, 8 years after I spent 8 years animating, an equal time away as I was active, taking a trip down memory lane with some familiar faces. I will talk about where I am now, but first, a few important mentions... Dutt - I don't think most people realize how much you meant to this board, how much it meant to you, and how influential you were on the shaping of the "golden period" of wrestling stop motion animation. Everything from animation preservation, to your passion on the state of the board, to the way you inspired us all to take competition to the next level with promos, videos, etc were all crucial to this board's success. Your loss is heartbreaking, but your memory will live on. Dimburuk - Sending you all of my love and support as you deal with the war. Hoping for an end soon. Deadbones - I am so sorry to hear about what you're going through. You are one of my favorite animators ever; it intimidated me as much as it inspired me to face you. Please take care and reach out to any of us when you need it <3 ECWoriginal, Arrow, Scott, K3V, TTF4eva, MyyQue, MC2, Ross, Rob, M, Andeh, wwextreme25, the Loserking himself, far too many names to mention and far too many ill kick myself for not remembering in 10 minutes - All of you meant a lot to me. Most of you have kicked my ass before. Most of you have gotten the favor returned. I'm happy to see people popping in the past week and I am hoping it continues in weeks to come. As for me, I had a chance to catch up with LKS a few years back on his podcast which looks like it was recently posted in this chat. If you are that interested in my life story, feel free to listen in on that. Not too much has changed since then. I'm still pursuing acting but am transitioning from theatre to film (I have 3 short films coming out at the end of the year!). I still get the itch to animate. I still bust out the few figures I have left to play out a match or two. I still find myself busier than I need to be. And I still cherish the days I had here. I have very, very, bad memory from mental illness combined with ADHD, so I can't be more thankful that so much of this board and so much of our work was preserved. I may not remember every championship I won (but know it was a lot  ) but I will always have something to look back on, a preservation of my work, my friends' work, and my friendships themselves. Wfigs and animation got me through the darkest times of my life, and are one of the biggest reasons I made it out the other end. Thank you all for everything. - "the heartbreak cat" Angus |

Hi friends. Some of you knew me as Walker, others knew me as PWAAnimations. Maybe I had other aliases back then I don’t remember. Regardless, I came back to check this place out tonight in a nostalgia trip, and my heart was warmed to see how many of you did the exact same thing this past year or so. I am so saddened to hear, years later for that matter, of the passing of Dutt. He was a fun person who filled me with so much laughter every time we talked. He is missed and I’m glad to see we can immortalize him here.
Reading through here, there are a lot of names who share a special place in my heart for the positive impact you had on me at an important age in my pre teen years. I don’t want to single anyone out because I don’t feel that would be fair, I loved this forum and love you all for being part of it, and a part of my life. For those of you who see this post, remember me, and want to - let’s please connect and catch up!
With love, Walker
