Rayelek Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 So what I'm getting right now from this thread is that there will be 2 or 3 promotions, with each having some sort of "lead" person dividing up the duties that go with booking and writing the show, is that right? Assuming that's the case, I'm interested and would be up for contributing ideas in regards to booking, and I can definitely do writing, but wouldn't want to be a key writer.

theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Exactly ray. If there is going to be two, then we would need at LEAST two that want to 'take the reigns' so to say. However the lines are drawn, and whatever teams are constructed, afterwards is up to them to delegate work loads. I don't want to place rules and regulations on that aspect, as it takes the creativity and fun out of it. I know personally for me I can say I have no problem taking the workload for whatever promotion I get. I'm bad with graphics so I'll be looking for some help there as I find good banners really add to a show. But if say one team wants to have one guy handle the tag team division, write all the matches/segments up involving them and hand them in to whomever would be doing the show? Then go for it. We'd need to get numbers of people interested, as well as how the lines would be divided. Like I said I have a few ideas regarding all or any scenarios, but am opEn mindEd to any and all suggestions. The hype for this is getting good, don't worry it's only going to keep heating up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20LEgend Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think to get this straight we should get anyone interested to post first that they are interested and confirm they want to be part of this and then there preferred promotion (with SWF / TCW at first, expanding if there is a greater number, maybe to USPW. Who I'd join if we set up a third promotion as head BTW (assuming you'll be taking TCW head job).) That way we can have a confirmed life of who is part of this to make sure it is organised, and doesn't have us wondering who is in and what not.

theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Exactly. I just need some concrete info on who is involved but I also want to give it a day or so, to give anyone not on here or who may have missed the topic a chance to see what it is all about.

Briskout Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'd love to join in as an underling for TCW if we keep product settings where they are meant to be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayelek Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Since there seems to be less interest in SWF, I'd be up for at least helping book for them. I'd be open to heading it up completely, but I'm still using the demo of TEW10, so I don't think that's the best choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theripper1 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I don't know if you guys would be accepting guys who haven't proved themselves on this board, but I have some spare time for something like this, so if there is any way I could contribute, I could probably pitch in.

theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 I have no problems with using SWF, just their product settings. I have stirrings ideas to get rid of that or explain it anyhow, which could use input as well. Would the people interested now want to start with a draft? (just between TCW/SWF workers, with maybe each promotion being allowed one outside draft) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 With, say, each promotion also getting three-five (seems like reasonable numbers to me) untouchables that they can choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Ripper, the more the merrier. Like I said before though, try and know your limitations. I see alot of people start these things, an quit or get burnt out for various reasons, and that's what I want to try and avoid. But the more hands on deck means the more creative and longstanding this is going to be. Don't get me wrong, not everyones going to like all ideas. Not EVERYTHING is going to run smoothly. But nor does it in real life Thats why I fully expect there to be some controversy. I want whatever team I am on to push the envelop. Force the other team to bring their A game. Keep everyone on their toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayelek Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Here's what I would do with a draft: All title holders exempt. Anyone with a relationship with the boss exempt. (This makes sense in terms of realism, but favors SWF, I think) 3-5 additional exemptions (I think 5) All Remaining Workers available to be drafted, plus the following: 1 Worker each who is on a written deal outside of the "Big 2" 3 or less Workers each who are on PPA deals outside of the "Big 2" Opinions and discussion welcome, obviously. Also, we don't have to do a draft, just throwing this out there because it'd be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Ya the draft isn't a must. Although I'd b wanting to make some trades beforehand, regardless of which promotion I ended up with (as for storylines I have planned there are a few key guys either way) But I do like how you've set it up as well and that would work for me. Not as many workers would be moving in that situation as just a straight up draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Sorry folks but I am out, I have no interest in messing with the rosters of either company. I wish you all luck with this though as I think it is a fun concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Don't back out just yet. We don't have to touch the rosters. An idea we are tossing around. Although if most want to deviate from the original rosters, the majority rules of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if most want to deviate from the original rosters, the majority rules of course. If you do trades and not drafts you could always put the diary in the future, say October of 2010 or any date for that matter. That way you can explain the trades as simply being workers left TCW for the SWF or the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayelek Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Trades would certainly be fine. I definitely think some roster tweaking would make it more interesting, but it isn't even necessary. Both sides have appealling characters, but I'm sure almost everyone would like more of those characters on their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theripper1 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I myself would prefer a draft/trade/roster mix-up, because that would allow more creativity and new ideas than most diaries that all start out with the same storylines and workers.

theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Ya that's the plan, to start in the future sometime with whatever backstory we come up with describing what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theripper1 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Cool, the backstory would have to depend on which workers went where, obviously, but it sounds like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boltinho Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 If more people want to be top do g then we can always add USPW into this. Id be happy to take a support role rather than being a head writer/booker. I never play with the big companies so I think Id probably be more use that way. Id also reccomend that each company is no more than 3 people total as my PMs can only go to 2 people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunholyicon Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Like I said I have a plethora of ideas for backstories, it's just establishing a core crew to hash it out with and make all the pieces fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 You could always throw a smaller company into the mix as well for people who do not want to do a big company. Something like ACPW (which is a personal favorite of mine) could make for an interesting diary and it is a promotion that has only been covered three or four times.

Powerful_Fox Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think maybe you should put something in your first post then Icon just establishing roles. I am easy with SWF or TCW or any smaller promotion if they get brought to it. I think there are pros and cons to keeping the rosters as they are and also to draft/trade so whatever you choose with that is fine with me. Maybe just put a little thing at the front along the lines of... SWF: Head Booker: theunholyicon? Main Writer: Booker A: Powerful_Fox? Booker B: Boltinho? TCW: Head Booker: BHK1978? Main Writer: Booker A: theripper1? Booker T: Rayelek? Booker 3: 20legend Obviously people may not be happy with this, this is purely an example. I think the main problem is that there isn't much going in the way of filling main writer roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayelek Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm not happy with this because there's 2 SWFs. Assuming the first one should be TCW, this set-up looks decent to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
