Seven years ago, I made a bold decision—I moved Ultimate Wrestling to HIVE Blog, believing that this platform, with its promises of decentralization and fair creator rewards, could be a new home for my E-Fed. Unlike traditional forums, HIVE offered a chance for writers to actually earn something for their creative work, a way to take professional wrestling storytelling to the next level.
It should have been a win for everyone.
Instead, I spent seven years fighting—not just for Ultimate Wrestling, but for the legitimacy of using HIVE as a home for E-Feds at all.
And in the end, what did I get? No support. No recognition. No reward for the thousands of hours I poured into this project.
The Fight Against the E-Fed Community
Surprisingly, the biggest opposition I faced didn’t even come from HIVE itself—it came from the E-Fed community.
From day one, people questioned why I moved Ultimate Wrestling to a blockchain platform. They dismissed the idea, scoffing at the thought of an E-Fed thriving in a space like this. Instead of seeing the opportunity, they clung to outdated systems, refusing to evolve or accept that blockchain technology could be the future of creative writing communities.
I onboarded dozens of E-Fed writers to HIVE, bringing new users, fresh content, and real engagement. And yet, instead of being recognized for innovating, I was mocked, ignored, and criticized by the same people who supposedly love this hobby.
It didn’t matter how much I fought for Ultimate Wrestling to be taken seriously here. The E-Fed world never accepted it, and HIVE never rewarded it.
The Hard Work That Went Nowhere
For seven years, I have:
✔️ Written long-form, detailed matches that go beyond what most E-Feds even attempt.
✔️ Built complex, layered storytelling with deep character development.
✔️ Stayed consistent, delivering free entertainment to anyone willing to read.
✔️ Brought new users to HIVE, expanding the platform’s creative community.
Yet despite all of that, I’ve seen short, low-effort posts make far more than anything I’ve written. I’ve seen people reap the rewards for minimal effort while I grind out high-quality content with no return.
The reality is simple: HIVE rewards popularity, not quality. And I was never part of the club.
Does Hard Work Even Matter?
The idea behind HIVE is great—a decentralized platform where content creators can be rewarded for their work. But the execution? A good old boys’ club where the same people cycle votes between each other, ensuring that their friends always win while real creators struggle to be seen.
I put in the work. I stayed loyal to this platform. And yet, seven years later, I have to ask myself—why?
Why fight to stay in a place that never fought for me?
The Future of Ultimate Wrestling
I believed in HIVE. I fought for it. I built on it.
And I got nothing in return.
I’m not making any final decisions yet, but it’s becoming clearer by the day—maybe HIVE was never meant to be Ultimate Wrestling’s home. Maybe it’s time to move to a platform where effort actually means something.
To those who have supported Ultimate Wrestling, thank you. But to those who dismissed it, ignored it, or refused to take it seriously— thanks for nothing.
