Mine is MWF, going up against a bunch of nobodies, winning the hardcore title 4 times, and of course losing it 4 times. I was getting ready to be booked for world title stuff, but Nonz decided to flake out.
A tie is doing the exact same thing in EFWO, right before I was handed ICW to run.
There wasn't anything more exciting internet wise back then or hell, even on TV than reading those shows, wondering if I was gonna win or not.
Now, I write everything. Fuck all of you.

You're 100 percent correct, the best times in efed are when you first start and are blissfully naive about all the politics and horseshit that goes on and you can't wait to read the next show.
The first fed I was in was ICW, back when I was terrible at roleplaying and Dave Dudley was the best thing going. Not much has changed.
Then I joined EWA after ICW fell apart. EWA was never that fun for me in all honesty. I think some people in EWA had the idea that riveting storytelling revolved around Kallista and Healius having relations and Hoyakillah secretly controlling all of Washington, DC. In addition, I was essentially given the gimmick of a raging alcoholic and the way I tried to present my character in rps was 100 percent different than the way my character was presented in shows. That made my whole experience very frustrating.
Furthermore, I hold that it was highly creepy how all these guys who were out of college were constantly talking to all of us online when we were all in high school.

i don't have one specific memory from the efeds that stands out more than others.
i do know that i've spent the most time and had the most fun in icw as opposed to ewa and efwo.
i do know that most of my favorite matches involve me. because i am fairly awesome, if i do say so myself. and i just said it.
but, truthishly, some of my best memories are from working angles with people like dave, dan.... ergh.... well. and i'm enjoying what we're doing now.
as far as it being creepy that all these guys out of college were talking to a bunch of high school kids, i both relate to and resent that. i relate to it because i did have an angle with a person who was older than me that got... well, creepy in real life. i resent it because when i first started this i would have been done with college and most of you all were still in high school.
of course, i'm a chick so it was probably different, maybe not so creepy. i'd like to think it wasn't so creepy.

I have like the opposite thing about high/school college, because now i'm in College and do all the shit college people do and everyone else has kids and shit and that's kinda wierd because I still associate efeds with the kind of shit I did in high school I guess and i'm not entirely conscious of the fact that i'm supposed to be an adult already I guess.
I don't know what my best efed memory is, I honestly barely remember most old efed shit. I'm still not convinced I was ever in TOP even if everyone else says I was. I seriously don't remember that at all.

my favorite time was probably the VERY early days of the EWA, before the entirety of the LWN re-located. it felt kinda rad to be doing something counter to what seemed to the "evil empire". everyone was trying out new characters or angles, and it fit in to what dan farrell said, the naivete of not knowing about all the "backstage" bullshit.
and, in an egotistical way, it was nice to be in a fed where i was already established as a big deal by the time the hoyas of the world showed up. i was doing zilch in LWN and to have all the big names from there come to EWA, and then not get booked to just put them over, was kind of rad.

Not really, an efed memory but something related was the flame war between Dan Downtown and Dudley.
Then of course it was Dudley getting banned every other month from EFWO.
And the gimmick Battle Royal. The Game and Masta Sexa doing nothing but shin locks for the first 5 minutes was comedy gold.
Efed related was shooting the breeze with Dudley and kinda becoming a booker and the takeover a EFWO, turning there belt into a toilet.
Writing the Amalek vs Dudley Table/Inferno Match, and Dudley actually being a face in the match and agreeing to lose to Amalek because it would be a great match FYI he came up with some of the better spots in the match.
The EWA first show with Dudley impersting Derrick was genius also.
The best LWn stuff was watching a stupid lameo named Hoyakillah challenge Nonz and get his ass handed to him.
