Texasrangers13 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Share Posted May 27, 2020 <p>Post-Sacrifice Recap</p><p> </p><p> Well I wound up doing a long write-up for the show, because I wanted to tell some of the stories with more detail. Wound up being really happy with it. The Feast or Fired was a bit of a mess, but Bhupinder and Gama Singh had ZERO chemistry and I wanted to test out some things, so Bhupinder is heading to OVW as a reassignment. I have no plans for him (or the Desi Hit Squad). I've been really impressed with Rohit Raju's work recently in Impact! so he will stick around. Raj Singh and Shera are probably going to remain as jobbers. Gama, I'm not sure what i'll do as of now.</p><p> </p><p> Homecoming is only two Impact! episodes away (intentionally as this is a throwaway show with some old TNA wrestlers making a return, it is also an Impact Plus special).</p><p> </p><p> We are building towards the end of April's big PPV which is Rebellion. I've already got the four title matches planned out and their feuds are either already underway or moving towards that as this show ends. </p><p> </p><p> I've always had trouble with the Knockouts divisions, but this division has some solid talents, and it's getting an infusion of new talent to make the division way more robust, I'm actually looking forward to booking them.</p><p> </p><p> Couple notes from the show:</p><p> Eddie Edwards and Michael Elgin delivered the match of the night (44 rating, vs our local popularity of 39), both matches in this series have been 44's which thus far is our highest rating.</p><p> </p><p> Tenille's debut squash was poor, but served a purpose.</p><p> </p><p> Moose is one of my favorite current characters, and I like the angle of him wiping out the past of TNA, it fits well with the upcoming Homecoming show too.</p><p> </p><p> If you are a big Impact fan, you'll notice some differences in how I'm booking the ICU angle; I'm honestly not quite sure the route I'm going with it at the moment but it is a different take.</p><p> </p><p> Rob Van Dam remains our most popular worker; and is still putting up solid ratings so he's worth it.</p><p> </p><p> As we head into March in the game, I'm dancing around the thoughts of how to execute this whole current pandemic. It won't be exactly like reality with a shutdown; but I may book shows in a custom venue with TINY attendance to represent the lost finances of no ticket sales... I also may ban some foreign workers but we shall see.</p><p> </p><p> The WWE fell to Medium (this has been a constant in every test game I ran); but they are still strong overall and the #1 company in the world.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Predictions (this was a pretty obvious card with very few surprises by design):</strong></span></p><p> Kijar: 8/8 (no bonus)</p><p> Blodyxe: 8/8 (+3 bonus)</p><p> Powerbrock1000: 8/8 (+3 bonus)</p><p> Nobby_McDonald: 8/8 (no bonus)</p><p> Munit: 7/8 (no bonus)</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Overall After Two Shows:</span></strong></p><p> Powerbrock100: 15/16 (+3) </p><p> Olivertaylor276: 5/8</p><p> Munit: 12/16</p><p> 20Legend: 4/8</p><p> Kijar: 8/8</p><p> Blodyxe: 8/8 (+3)</p><p> Nobby_McDonald: 8/8</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasrangers13 Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 First Talent Announcement for Homecoming Impact News and Notes: First Talent Announcement for Homecoming With Homecoming only two weeks away we wanted to pull back the curtain a bit and make our first talent announcement for the event! This Impact Plus Special will feature numerous call backs to the TNA-era including the logos and the arena itself as many things will make you feel like you are back at one of our original TNA PPVs. We at Impact feel it is important to not run from your past... But with that said, we've made the decision to not bring back the six-sided ring... While that may be a disappointment for some we guarantee this won't be... so without further adieu our first announcement for the Homecoming.... ... That's right folks, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner is back in the "Asylum" for one night only and we are giving him a live microphone to talk about absolutely ANYTHING that comes up. He'll, I think its safe to say that Big Poppa Pump may even be the guest MC for part of the show... Additionally, we can confirm that we will be announcing who the newest member of the Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame is! Stay tuned to Impact this week as we will make the remainder of the announcements and reveal the card! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dam, Susie is free. Nice show, though it felt like Shamrock didn't get much fanfare after losing Just a quick update tonight, but hopefully one that people enjoy, or at least chuckle at. Susie is indeed free! That'll play out more over the next few months. As for Shamrock, ya, I went that route because I thought it would get some heat for Moose... plus technically Shamrock just has to give up his in-ring career ;-). He might still be around for a bit outside of the ring. We shall see. I ran the two Impact's that lead to this show, and while Homecoming is a bit of a throwaway it will get over some of the points and will definitely move us toward the six episode build to Rebellion. Should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasrangers13 Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Homecoming Pre-Show // Last Call ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Figured I'd wrap this month up (here on the east coast) with the pre-show match and make it a last call for Homecoming which I expect in the next day or so.

Texasrangers13 Posted June 5, 2020 Author Share Posted June 5, 2020 Post Homecoming Recap / Meeting Well well well, this show was slightly tougher... except for the bonus, which appears to have been very obvious! I do love Petey so it worked out, and the tie-in with Steiner seemed like a good use. I need to build the X-Division up and I think Chris Bey is a future stud in the division so stealing a win here seemed like the right idea. It'll build into a story. One of the big goals for this diary is to really wrap 60-70% of the roster into their own storylines and in order to do that I'm having to think big picture and long-term. It has been really fun so fair, and my head is brimming with ideas. It also means developing midcard and lower midcard guys well beyond what I'm used to. And I love it. The two best examples here in this show were the Bey/Williams match and the Rae/Rayne match. Both are leading to something more feasible for all of those characters. The Knockouts division has 14 women in it including Tessa. We have three of them (Rosemary, Susie/Su Yung, and Havok) in an active story, and Grace/Taya in another. So seeing Madison Rayne beat and bully the happy-go-lucky "rookie" seems like a nice tie in to bring more women to the forefront. In the X-Division I think there are a number of routes I want to go, one is bringing back Destination X as an Impact Plus event in the summer, likely the month before or after Slammiversary (July). Blodyxe is right, Ace Austin is red hot, and for good reason. He is putting up great in-ring numbers, cutting solid promos and is 23-years old. Call it lucky destiny roll paired with strong skills or just strong booking, but he's got some qualities I really like. Bringing back Suicide fits with both reality and the story we are telling. Ace Austin needed a foil and Suicide's mysterious character instantly brings credibility, it could be anyone under that mask. Pair that with TJ Perkins wanting his shot, and the fact that Ace has been injecting himself in the Tessa/Sami feud by involving her fiancé, Daga and we have quality storytelling (at least in my mind haha). Eddie Edwards continues to be a stud in-ring. He's the best in-ring performer for us and that's what drew the victory over Elgin in the third match. I did debate a draw for a long while (actually slept on it) with the plan of Sami vs. Elgin vs. Edwards at Rebellion, but eventually decided that wasn't the route I wanted to go, at least yet. Edwards and Callihan should be great, and of course, Tessa should be healthy come April. Raven has long been one of my favorites. Originally, I just planned for him to do the spot in the six-man tag and be done (like he did in reality in March), or maybe make sporadic appearances... but then I got to thinking, how do I want to develop some characters moving forward... and then the rating popped up for Raven's segment after the match and boom, I knew I had to have him for a bit... so that got the wheels turning and ICU's new slant was born. Keep reading/watching/thinking because RealityIsLost and while Sami is involved we are taking this a totally different route than Impact did in reality. Moose is one of my favorite things going on TV right now and I do plan to incorporate some of what he's done during these pandemic tapings... It is just too good to not include. Speaking of COVID-19; I originally was thinking I was going to incorporate it much harsher than I'm going to now. I even wrote a narrative to tank the economy (it hit last week in-game and the economy plummeted from 85 in the US to 23... OOF). Ultimately here's what I'm doing... I created a custom venue with 50 seats to represent staff/etc and give a TINY financial boost to represent Skyway Studios where Impact taped there no fan shows for all of April/May/June. I plan (note: Plans are subject to change haha) to use it for all the shows through April including the PPV. This will hurt me financially while keeping it realistic. BUT I will not directly reference COVID in the shows unless it is necessary for the story or in comedy (we are all going through this to different degrees, who needs that remember) and I am not planning banning Canadians/Mexicans from the tapings either (though I did think about it as a way to create some storylines but ultimately it would mean pausing too many things). I am planning on forcing the WWE to make their actual releases and letting the game world sort out where those guys go. I may pursue one or two if I think they fit (honestly there are only one or two that I think do fit right now and they are former Impact people). Beyond that, I'm strongly considering relocating the company to South East USA, in-game it is Ontario as Anthem is based there, but for game purposes and really in reality this is an American company... plus I'm tired of all my workers relocating. Six episodes of Impact will be the build-up for Rebellion, the next true PPV (remember we are only running four true PPVs this year, Hard to Kill, Rebellion, Slammiversary and Bound for Glory). I've run the final set of tapings for March and as those wrap up I've already got all four title matches lined up and a couple other matches scheduled, so we will be able to do some nice build-up. Again, thanks for the comments and support. I'm feeling really good about this thus far and really like the route I see this going.

Powerbrock100 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Good show man. Alot of interesting things hopefully you do ICU better then irl where it was just dropped after "the reveal" I see Kimber Lee (assuming it is her) is getting alot of hype packages she doesn't get enough love. Also I would defo move TNA to America I know why people set it in the Canada but I always move it back because they realistically operate as they did pre "moving to Canada" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasrangers13 Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Impact on AXS April Week 1 and Week 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Catching up on some commentary... Just caught up with the show, nice one. I also like Raven, he has a funny podcast... and he's social engineering master, so he may fit the role. Hopefully he's not portrayed as a stereotypical Hollywood-type hacker in a hoodie and ski mask I've always loved Raven and try to find a realistic way to incorporate him into a diary. Didn't do it with the ROH diary as it never felt right, but I did think about it. When I saw him make a real return to impact during the show that wound up being the last live audience show they did, I said to myself, this is a perfect chance to bring him back it. He's a master mental manipulator and that style works well with the characters we have. Good show man. Alot of interesting things hopefully you do ICU better then irl where it was just dropped after "the reveal" I see Kimber Lee (assuming it is her) is getting alot of hype packages she doesn't get enough love. Also I would defo move TNA to America I know why people set it in the Canada but I always move it back because they realistically operate as they did pre "moving to Canada" Carrying on that thought, I also don't really like the way Impact handled the ICU stuff, I suspect the lack of audience forced some changes. But it gave me a good idea for something here. The idea is to force people into some sense of confusion. Sami saying things like "Reality is Lost" keeps him still associated with the ICU promos from reality, but Raven is the one appearing when the symbols show up. As I said above, I want to portray Raven as a master mental manipulator and I hope that will shine through as this story develops over the next few game months. Kimber Lee is another one. When they brought her in I felt like they were going to do maybe a little more with her, but I suspect it was more as a fill in talent since she and Wentz are married. That said, her Crown Jewel (brass knucks) and Princess gimmick were too good to pass up in the rebuild of the Knockouts division. I have a storyline for her that will start to be fleshed out. Really trying to get all the Knockouts into something, and we are getting close! So I'm stoked on that. I went ahead and silently moved the company to the South East (Nashville). To account for the Covid-19 stuff I am booking all these episodes post-Homecoming and for an indefinite time with no audience in a custom location (Skyway Studios in Nashville). I'm ignoring some of the travel restrictions and such as that would have gotten far to complex and really hamstrung some stories. But in keeping with reality I will splice some pieces in here and there... such as the Deaners being on Kwaranteen. I enjoyed Homecoming. Keep the shows coming. Thank you kindly. I appreciate the note. Patiently waiting for Willie to open up a can of... Mackwisers Willie Mack is an enigma. He felt like a great counterbalance to the lazy, I don't care, version of RVD and the feud developed through that. It's working well... and if RVD isn't careful, Willie might just crack some Mackweisers open. One more build-up of TV episodes and then we've reached the next full-fledged pay-per-view, Rebellion. Next post will have the current card in a more formal way, but through this episode we can now see things starting to get clearer. We know that Sami Callihan will defend his World Title against not just Eddie Edwards, but also Tessa Blanchard. We know that The North will face The Deaners in a match of the Deaners choosing. We know that Taya Valkyrie will face the winner of Jordynne Grace vs. Tenille Dashwood. We've hinted at Rob Van Dam and Willie Mack finally squaring off.. We've hinted at but not confirmed Rhino and Madman Fulton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
