	In one promo Focalin stated, "''There comes a time in your life when you finally get it. When in the midst of all your fears and insanity, you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere, the voice inside your head cries out, enough! Enough fighting...and crying...of struggling to hold on. And like a child quieting...quieting down after a blind tantrum, your softs begin to subside, you shuttle once or twice, you blink back your tears and...the rue mantle of a wet lashes, you begin to look at the world from a new perspective.

	*[[Shooter]] - Explained that he felt his appearance at Just Another Supershow 6, despite a surprise showing when he could have been elsewhere, was not appreciated nor cared about after all his success in the sport.

He goes on to inform that people may think The Awakening are wrong, crazy or extremists, and that their minds are not clouded, but says they are not distracted by championships, friends, or enemies but only exist to eliminate regardless.		*[[Shooter]] - Explained that he felt his appearance at Just Another Supershow 6, despite a surprise showing when he could have been elsewhere, was not appreciated nor cared about after all his success in the sport.

-	*[[Sic Ric]] - Explained that for 3 years he gave everything to backyard wrestling, by wrestling, training, studying the art, and compiling music videos for everyone's enjoyment, but claimed nobody cared and he had to endure some online harassment in the backyard wrestling community. Ric states that he realized that even after he acquired the desire and advanced skill, it did not matter unless he was apart of an "in-crowd", although he still managed to gradually make a name for himself. Ric said that the only one that stuck it out with him from the beginning, Hack Edjamin, turned on him at SWC's biggest show Plexfest in August 2010 during their SWC Championship match, when Edjamin refused to admit that he beat Ric knowingly with his feet hanging off the edge of the base that called for a break of the pin, but wasn't seen by the referee. After the show, he said he brought the incident to a discussion with Focalin, who told him that a takes a true somnambulist to think that something good will happen to him when he dwells in bad thoughts and advised him to accept the bad things he thinks about and use it to his advantage. Ric credits Focalin for helping him "awaken" to who he is after going on to Just Another Supershow 6 and winning the [[GBYWN World Tag Team Championship]] with his Bsnow and claiming the REVIVAL Championship.	+	*[[Sic Ric]] - Explained that for 3 years he gave everything to backyard wrestling, by wrestling, training, studying the art, and compiling music videos for everyone's enjoyment, but claimed nobody cared and he had to endure some online harassment in the backyard wrestling community.

	*[[Bsnow]] - Explained that Focalin contacted him during a time he was undergoing problems that caused depression, hatred, frustration and anger, and told him to focus it and take it out on his opponents, a pep talk that got Bsnow to direct his attention back on wrestling again. Bsnow explained that Focalin asked him to join The Awakening and joined because of his tag team partner Sic Ric, though Focalin had mentored him for the past 2 years trying to groom him into tapping into his potential. His biggest reason for aligning with the alliance is because he feels people haven't been giving him the respect, attention and have been doubting his abilities and wants to raise his game on behalf of himself and The Awakening as well as show that he deserves a spot in The Awakening and deserves to be higher ranked as a wrestler.		*[[Bsnow]] - Explained that Focalin contacted him during a time he was undergoing problems that caused depression, hatred, frustration and anger, and told him to focus it and take it out on his opponents, a pep talk that got Bsnow to direct his attention back on wrestling again.

Bliss claims after a long talk with Focalin, he was helped to realize The Pen Name actually turned on him for his own selfish reasons, thinking he was the better partner and friend. Worried, Bliss thought people began to see it that way, considering himself the better talent, which all led him into a breakdown of sadness and anger.

-	*[[Sic Ric]]	+	*[[Sic Ric]] - Explained that for 3 years he gave everything to backyard wrestling, by wrestling, training, studying the art, and compiling music videos for everyone's enjoyment, but claimed nobody cared and he had to endure some online harassment in the backyard wrestling community. Ric states that he realized that even after he acquired the desire and advanced skill, it did not matter unless he was apart of an "in-crowd", although he still managed to gradually make a name for himself. Ric said that the only one that stuck it out with him from the beginning, Hack Edjamin, turned on him at SWC's biggest show Plexfest in August 2010 during their SWC Championship match, when Edjamin refused to admit that he beat Ric knowingly with his feet hanging off the edge of the base that called for a break of the pin, but wasn't seen by the referee. After the show, he said he brought the incident to a discussion with Focalin, who told him that a takes a true somnambulist to think that something good will happen to him when he dwells in bad thoughts and advised him to accept the bad things he thinks about and use it to his advantage. Ric credits Focalin for helping him "awaken" to who he is after going on to Just Another Supershow 6 and winning the [[GBYWN World Tag Team Championship]] with his Bsnow and claiming the REVIVAL Championship.
		+
		+	*[[Bsnow]] - Explained that Focalin contacted him during a time he was undergoing problems that caused depression, hatred, frustration and anger, and told him to focus it and take it out on his opponents, a pep talk that got Bsnow to direct his attention back on wrestling again. Bsnow explained that Focalin asked him to join The Awakening and joined because of his tag team partner Sic Ric, though Focalin had mentored him for the past 2 years trying to groom him into tapping into his potential. His biggest reason for aligning with the alliance is because he feels people haven't been giving him the respect, attention and have been doubting his abilities and wants to raise his game on behalf of himself and The Awakening as well as show that he deserves a spot in The Awakening and deserves to be higher ranked as a wrestler.

	*[[The Pen Name]] - Explained that he awakened and betrayed everyone that did the same to him, for refusing to acknowledge the feats he accomplished by starting anew in SWC during his relocation to Pittsburgh, and traveling to various [[supershows]] in different states. He claims only one individual cared and it was Focalin, who also recruited him into SWC.		*[[The Pen Name]] - Explained that he awakened and betrayed everyone that did the same to him, for refusing to acknowledge the feats he accomplished by starting anew in SWC during his relocation to Pittsburgh, and traveling to various [[supershows]] in different states.

Mysterious and cryptic, The Awakening invokes a mistrust among the backyard wrestling world, with no one knowing who might "awake" and join them. It was formed under Focalin and his spiritual transformation into a newborn demon, and in assembling a clique, is uniting with his "awakened" demon companions. The group revealed themselves during the Devil's weekend in October 2010.

	Over the course of weeks leading up to the formation, Focalin began posting strange and subliminal messages on the [[GBYWN]] forum, and one in particularly provocative was, "help me I'm in hell", that baffled and concerned everyone in regards to his well-being, as it was unlike his characteristics to behave in that matter, which led to a ban to his board membership due to spam. Many continued their worries upon hearing Focalin had altered into a different personality, filled with hostility and anger when Shooter contacted him over the phone.

	In one promo Focalin stated, "''There comes a time in your life when you finally get it.

And like a child quieting...quieting down after a blind tantrum, your softs begin to subside, you shuttle once or twice, you blink back your tears and...the rue mantle of a wet lashes, you begin to look at the world from a new perspective. This is your awakening!''"		In one promo Focalin stated, "''There comes a time in your life when you finally get it.
