I thought about the show time recently and how New Japan shows have an upward of 5 hours on average for the supershows. Nice to see that's being adapted.

Was that what Bishadman chose or was it just something you came up with? Because that is...certainly a decision. Where did I steal the idea of the enchanted coins of Judas from? = The Devil's Hand from TNA? No clue.

He threw it down afterwards, not realizing until afterwards the match was for a title. Eric Bischoff declared it vacant the day after. Title is dictated that it must always be on the line in a match, barring tag matches. Once a champion reaches 15 defenses, they can vacate their title for a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. So far, Mark Jindrak is the only champion to make it to the full 15 defenses. He cashed it in for a title shot against Booker T on an episode of Nitro. He was unsuccessful. WCW Cruiserweight - AJ Styles (1x), since July 2002 - Recently beat Jamie Knoble at Bash at the Beach.

Focus on the main event storylines a few months at a time while building up other, younger stars on the lower cards. If a main event guy who's a smidge holder is still around I'll find things to do with them (unless it's like Flair or Sting where they're icons). Generally when I book shows I do it on the fly barring a few angles I think of in the off-time.

<p>So is putting on shows in the same region multiple times the best way to increase importance? Because I've seen people in mods and diaries become National (WCW Lives for reference) before 2001 even ends. </p><p> </p><p> Meanwhile, I have a higher rating in Australia, Japan, and Central Europe than I do in a few regions of the continental US and it's starting to annoy the piss out of me.</p>

It brought up a lot of valid points and was a good indication of what a good portion of the fanbase (at least the vocal ones who contribute to the boards) were/are thinking.</p>

I'ma keep it real: some part of me really wants Hunter and Shane to be bros and get along despite Stephanie being Stephanie

Nah I'm with ya. If it's a guy that I really don't want to keep around but don't mind using for one reason or another, and I don't want to eat the money for their termination, I'll let them be miserable until they ask for their release.

Take your time if you need to. That's a hectic schedule for anybody to have to adhere to and broken laptops/computers always suck.

Hey, I'm back. Um, yeah, this is frickin fantastic. I would love to see more. For the love of God, I would love to see more.

I have to go back and reread all of this because it's clear there is a lot to this that's going to be nice to read. Couple things on first glance: you bastard, you had Owens betray his best friend...again! Roode doing it makes sense and the timing couldn't have been more perfect to portray Roode as truly evil. Cena being literally the first to die is somehow poetic justice and a good indication that literally nobody is safe, worked or otherwise. Sami showing himself as a sadistic prick was beautiful. "...My reason... it came here with me." Awwwww! Kota and Kenny need to live on for a long time. They are really the two protagonists that stand out.

The game won't convert the data at all. 16 won't be able to transfer to 20 whatsoever.

Nyope. One of the first things Adam said, actually.

Unless you have NXT separate from WWE as its developmental promotion or "child company" you can't play as it in 2016. In 2020 you're free game though.

I think they were referring to your comment by referencing the Marge Simpson meme, not Ryland's. I think, anyway.

Well then color me interested.

What makes this whole thing weird is that, in real life, Jericho would probably easily job to Page.

You have my interest. The concept is different and I'm curious where it goes from here.
