SWF World Title

 

Golden beat Scythe clean at the January PPV. The Crippler interrupted Golden celebrating the win to be inserted into the Scythe/Golden storyline on the 1st Supreme TV after When Hell Freezes Over. Any ideas to continue the story? What match goes on at the February PPV? Who wins? Do Crippler & Scythe work together? Does anyone help Golden out? DOes Eric Eisen get involved?Emma Chase?

This isn't going to come up until the full game is out, but I'm fishing for ideas now- running QAW, who should be in the 2020 Queen Of The Ring Tournament, and who should win it?

 

2016 was much easier, at least the first year. The storylines were Danielle & Jarvis and Raquel & Foxy, so one of those two feuds would culminate in a bout for the World title at Crowning The Queen, and the other would be the finals of the tournament.

 

In 2020, with so many of the starting stories being faction/ stable driven, with 5-6 people each, it's a lot harder to narrow things down.

 

In 2016 I spent a good portion of it setting up so I could have the breakup of Pamela Rojo and Hellcat Hernandez culminate in the 2018 Queen of the Ring final. I haven't really looked at the new intervening canon yet, but I'm partial to that final.

 

I always liked having Juana in the mix for things as well. I'd probably have her get screwed in the semis, possibly as a heel turn from part of her stable.

I would definitely keep the belt on Rocky in February. Having Crippler also in the story gives you a ton of freedom to have Rocky win without actually pinning Scythe. Maybe Mikey Lau helps Rocky out at some point and you can transition into two separate feuds.

 

What’s your plan for Supreme Challenge? That will factor in as well.

Thanks. To be honest, I'm heavily leaning towards giving Morrissette his 1 World Title run if Rocky will put him over without much fuss. I'll ask him before I book it. And then probably have Rocky vs Morrisette as the feud culminating at Supreme Challenge.

What's a good English-language name for Calavera? It literally translates to "Skull", so there's probably some good names to be had, but I'm just blanking.

 

When I was a kid having my Masters of the Universe action figures wrestle in my WWF ring, Skeletor was a "masked man" I called The Neon Skull. To someone outside Mexican culture, it could appear Calavera's mask is festooned with symbols resembling neon signs. If that theory works for you, it's yours.

Bonehead? :p If there wasn't already a Death's Head character, that'd be my suggestion. Deadhead?

In previous years with SWF I've created an Awesome Impact match, basically a 6-man TLC match for the World title. This year I don't feel that SWF's roster is strong enough to carry this without hurting the show's overall rating so I'm looking to adapt it into a MitB x TLC match, and expand it to an 8-man match.

 

Who should be in it? The match will feature Remo, Valiant, Rogue, Brandon James, Mikey Lau & Des Davids. I have two more spaces and my top options are:

-> Joey Morgan & Randy Unleashed (both men are feuding but could have a match elsewhere to fill out the PPV card)

-> Ekuma (the match is heel heavy)

-> Hollywood Bret Starr (not doing much else but I want to push)

-> Primus Allen (see Bret Starr)

 

The rest of the PPV will feature The Crippler vs Rocky Golden, Atom Smasher vs Angry Gilmore & Scythe vs Lenny Brown so that's why none of them are options.

I am running into problems on TCW Events. Mostly with I guess the word I am looking for is theme ideas. Total Mayhem would be like TCW's wrestlemania. TCW Battleground I could see like a survivor series event. But the rest drawing a blank on.

Does it seem too "gamey" to folks to temporarily remove someone out of a long-term storyline (and have their stable-mates keep driving it along) so that they can accomplish a short-term time-sensitive storyline in the interim (I need a storyline associated with having one guy drop a belt)?

 

Not at all. I was running CZCW and pulled out of the COTT a few points before hitting Medium so I could sign up all my upper tier guys to exclusive written contracts before USPW, SWF and TCW started noticing me. At least one lucha promotion is angry and won't talk to me about worker sharing (which I fully intended to keep up, just wanted to be sure Tigre Salvaje Jr. didn't end up doing a WCW cruiserweight impression somewhere else).

Any ideas for a tag finisher for Robbie Retro and American Machine? They have excellent chemistry as a team and weren't doing anything else.

 

The team name is Dance Machine

 

DEVOlution (or DEVO-lution, if you prefer).

 

People of a certain age will remember DEVO and the specific dance attributed to them. It would fit with Robbie's (default) gimmick.

 

Or MOSH, which could be simply a running double footstomp, performed by both partners.

I’m looking for some opinions for a Jannetty to a Michaels.

 

Maybe someone who’s a rookie, and unemployed. Someone you’d give a long tag push.

 

I know I can do a search in the dB and I am , I’m just looking for some opinions as I’m not really familiar with the cverse . Thanks.
