This is chiefly to stop in at a particular shopfront, behind which is a very, very intricate metalsmith's.

Reaper Productions, the sign says. They're close to unique, as far as the wrestling business goes – they do business with just about everyone. We went to them with Philly Pro to update the championships we used there, and to bring in the Maximum Championship. The XFW strap we briefly used as the unifications begun? Again, Reaper's work.

TCW go to them. The SWF go to them – as does the SWF's antithesis, underground favourite PSW. NYCW. Our developmental fed FCW (though not, I believe, CZCW – may have to talk to Tommy about getting some commissioned). George DeColt comes here...

The lobby, you could mistake for a wrestling memorabilia collection; there's photos of them all here, from America, Canada, Mexico, Europe, even Japan...

Champions wearing them. Company owners and spokesmen posing with the main designer. TCW. SWF. TWL. CPW. APWF. CWB. CGC. SCCW. DaVE. MHW.

The biggest, and the smallest.

And today, we're here to pick up a special order before the show tomorrow.

We take a couple more photos – it really is part of the deal – and I ask for a copy of one for myself. Tommy on one side with the PPPW championship, myself with a TCW strap, their designer in the middle. There's a spot in the den where it will fit just perfectly.

This ^^^!!!

Thank you. I know I'm way late in terms of reading this, but thank you. I've been mentioned in a few diaries, but this one was absolutely superb. The simple and heartfelt writing did not go unnoticed. Gave me goose bumps.

Once again thank you for the mention. Looking forward as I continue reading this.

...Well, I'll tell you, this was something I didn't see coming.

In its last full month, Quiet Retirement picked up the Diary of the Month. Its aftermath, as I noted a couple of posts ago, got nominated for Monthly Spotlight... and as of an hour or so ago, alongside the Supreme Challenge in SWF: Supreme, picked up a joint win in the category.

Thanks, everybody.

There's a little bit more of a break due before I come back, but you can expect a new project in 2-3 weeks...

Looking forward to it!

(Well, I'm looking forward to my wedding, which is in roughly the same time frame. But when that's over, I'll make sure to catch up...)

Hi, everyone.

We're coming up on the end of TEW2010 now, and equally, we're coming up on the end of the End of TEW2010 Awards voting.

So please, folks - whoever you vote for, go over to the thread and vote.
