Homestar Runner Wiki Forum

I've been addicted to trying to beat Awexome Cross recently, and I have one question about the history of the game in relation to the Homestar universe, and I was hoping someone on the good ol' Wiki could answer it for me.

So, I was wondering, Awexome Cross was originally made as an easter egg to "monster truck", but The Cheat holds up a pizza trophy if you win the game, even in the old version. However, the pizza trophy line isn't said by Strong Bad until 11 emails later, in "crazy cartoon". So, was Awexome Cross the origin of the pizza trophy as just something random TBC made up, or did they add the winning screen after "crazy cartoon" came out?
