shipshirt Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I have to say, I really welcome this update. I love the idea of the penalties for using the same match too much but it seemed like it was really tough to get anything going. Now you can have a proper 3 match series (as most feuds seem to go) without being penalized but if you really want to "stretch" then you're on your own :) Thanks Adam!

Malioc Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Well, I didn't have much problems with the 3rd match-penalty, - but I guess, that's still a good decision. Some feuds just need their 3 matches. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriswok Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Its handy for the little promotions, but the fact is you should always be striving to make each match better to build the feud anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it and by it's very nature, it makes you book smarter. I found it to be quite the contrary to your statement. With a small promotion it's pretty easy to only book 2 singles matches in six months and use tags and other matches in between for the bigger feuds. I found with TV based promotions it was really difficult to fill TV time. Not all "series" need to go 3 matches but it's nice if you're running a "McMahon fomula" type deal to be able to have that blow off match without worrying if it's going to kill your show in the main event. It still might not be a great match but at that point it's not necessarily stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriswok Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Ah I guess you're right on that one. I'm running a 21CW (1 weekly TV & PPV to book) game at the moment, and I'm only into Feb so haven't seen the trigger happen yet, but I can sense it will.

You can use it on the ppv and then that third match would be a crap shoot (in some respects). I would find myself not even wanting to chance a third match ever because TCW is in such a precarious situation. This way you can have that second match on PPV and then build all month towards a rubber match if you like and it won't be penalized. After that, if you wanted to face them off again the trigger is in effect and, IMO, that's when a crowd would start to feel the match is getting stale.
