This should be a rather quick post-show thread unless I end up rambling more than I should.
Before anyone has any objections, I'll start this thread off with a bit of housekeeping to kill two birds with one stone. First off, I'm asking for a head count going forward as I know a lot of you are either involved with some outside projects or looking to take some leave of absences in the coming weeks. I personally will be on a vacation with my family from July 1st through roughly the 8th or 9th, so I don't want to bog you guys down with anything as I have no idea what my internet situation is going to be while I'm away that week. That being said, if your outside commitments and priorities are more important than your feuds here, then it's only fair to your peers here if you keep everyone (especially those who you are working with) in the know for your storylines and/or feuds won't suffer as a result. I don't ever want the things here to be a burden to anyone here.
For those wondering, my sinus infection is better now, but the meds I'm on are leaving me with bouts of not being able to focus for long periods of time - that made writing this show a chore since as you noticed I made the matches more long-winded than they should have, given that I was doing the shorter format for the previous episode. I'm done with this prescription after tomorrow (Thurs) so hopefully this mess clears up.
I appreciate the feedback that I have been receiving from the hybrid fed thread and I wanted to ask that since we're kinda light on member numbers/handlers at the moment, would you all feel comfortable on considering implementing a few changes over the course of the next few weeks/months? I don't want to change everything instantly to stress anyone out, but small changes over time to make this more fun for everyone involved. For example, if you and your feuding partners have already planned out your feud/storylines, feel free to let me know via DM if you already have matches in mind (that would help me book cards quicker TBH) and would like to work on them yourselves - keep the specialty matches to a minimum, please, as I try to save those for PPVs or conclusions for feuds/rivalries and not for every show we put out. Titleholders, if you want to reach out and suggest people who you would like to work with, I'm open to that as well as 2 out of 3 title divisions are light on challengers.
From here on out, if you want to help with the shows/results, just comment on the match card preview on what you can do/assist with when the card(s) go up. I'll say it here and now that I'd greatly appreciate it. Help involves but not limited to match-writing, graphics, skits/segments, advertising, blog posts, and so on. Just something to think about for those of you who want to go that extra mile and help out more around the fed.
Quick Results:
Bobbi Jackson and The Frosts def. Ursula Areano, Laura Jackson, Crystal Millar and Susie Price, Jennifer Dunn, and Maryse Ouellet
This match right here
- I originally booked this to kill a lot of birds with one stone in terms of feuds going on and wanting to get as many people as possible onto the show for the holiday weekend, thinking that this would make the results quicker and this ended up being the hardest match for me to write. Even though I enjoyed reading the promos for this, nine people in one match made it too hard to summarize in a paragraph - I have that nagging urge to make sure that everyone in a match does something, especially in these team endeavors like this.
I hope Bobbi Jackson TheFrosts Susie Price Laura Jackson @jennifer Talia Areano sarahrichardson and Samuel enjoyed the read though. Boy this was a dozy to write referencing all nine movesets at once.
Segment #1 -- Mariah catches up with Zora
I owe this in its entirety to Zora Graysen . I merely offered to help her with her creative slump that she's having since we've worked on a few things here and there outside of the fed with our characters interacting in the past. Don't worry Bobbi Jackson
MiMi's still there if you need her help for your storyline too. I'm just trying to make sure everyone has something going on.
Speaking of collaborations, I need to make a chart for myself and multiple Google Documents for I can keep track of who I'm working with and what. I feel like I've been letting a lot of you guys (and gals) down in that aspect the last few weeks, namely Carnage and ❤Rose❤ .
Justin Lockhart def. Pentagon Jr. via DQ
This was merely me giving Pentagon something to do while getting Patrick 's new character off the ground. I never resolved the thing between Pentagon and Gabriel so I wanted to show some continuity here to remind you guys that I didn't forget about that storyline. I just happened to sideline it for a while in favor of everything else going on.
The Hellions def. Leon Torres & Amber Torres
I didn't see a promo or anything from DΔShΞR , so I went with making the Hellions look strong here. My apologies if I overlooked it if that team did post a promo. I thought it would have been more realistic to go with a narrative here that the only female would want to prove herself against these former MMA vets over the course of the match. For the finish, I went with something that WWE would ever do in their modern booking and have the babyfaces get cut off at the hot tag and immediately go for the finish right there without any comeback.
Vixen Championship Open Challenge - Blake Harper (c) def. Crystal Millar
This was Crystal's (sarahrichardson ) 2nd bout on the card. I opened with a portion of her promo that issued the challenge just in case anyone missed that part since it was a good lead-in for this match. I'm aware that Crystal recently won a title in SCW so I didn't want to sell her short here as we have a rare champion vs. champion dynamic for this match. I want to give credit where it's due that the open challenge idea is Athena 's not mine. She wants to elevate the division by working with those who are just as passionate as she is. I know she's going to kill me for saying that
The Miz def. Jayson Heagerty via Count Out/No Show
The stipulation that Serena Dent named was discussed and suggested IC and OOC on Twitter between ❤Knightmare INC and "The Iceman" Konrad Raab , I just asked Athena to have Serena to make the match in-character for the next show. Simple as that.
Segment #2 -- Foxy confronts Nikki
❤Knightmare INC wrote this like the one for the previous episode of Primetime. Mel, you know what happens next before the card is even going up, so if you want to go ahead and start on that match, you have my blessing
Segment #3 -- Ry Drake prepares for the Topple the Mountain Challenge
I know this is a reposting of BulletxToxThexHeart 's thread, but I asked him to post that after the deadline(s) to setup the match as the introduction, much like I used Crystal's promo for earlier in the show in case anyone didn't read this thread previously.
Diablo def. Rex Terrell via DQ
If I'm perfectly honest here, I went with Lucha Underground style booking here. I didn't want either person to lose here. No sense in making Rex's challenge end right here while at the same time, Diablo's solo match shouldn't be a loss either while establishing him as a possible threat to Drake's title. Gotta admit I'm intrigued at Athena 's idea to give Drake a new obstacle to overcome. I know ❤Knightmare INC and "The Iceman" Konrad Raab have their rematch going, but could someone correct me but doesn't Miz still have a gripe with Drake too for the title? I'm just counting how many guys we got possibly gunning for Drake's title. I don't want him to feel left out
Segment #4 -- The Enforcers and Veda study their competition
I'm going to be honest here, but this was essentially going to be my promo for the main event that I never got around finishing before I got sick. I remember working on this at the family get-together I was at on Sunday afternoon, but shit happened and I never got back to it until later this week when I was working on results. I hate that because I completely lost my train of thought of where I was going with this and just ended it prematurely. The premise of it was studying their opponents kinda like that one episode of Thundercats (I know I'm showing my age here...) where the bounty hunter Safari Joe was analyzing all of his "prey" with technical specs on all of the members of that team. I think I could have done some better research on Samuel and "The Iceman" Konrad Raab for this would've been better in the long haul instead of relying on the wisecracks and comedy I tend to fall back on a lot writing Veda's character.
Main Event: The Honourable Princes (c) def. The Enforcers to retain the GZWA Tag Team titles
Not even going to lie, I borrowed a few spots from DIY vs Authors of Pain from NXT Takeover last month for this. I made the mistake of thinking that this was going to be easy to write since it's a ladder match, but when it came around to actually writing this, I completely blanked out. I dunno what happened. I just knew I wanted to get the spot in where the Mega Busters get payback for the attack to them a few months ago to put them back into the mix. I just hope that doesn't give the wrong impression that the Princes needed their help to retain as I wrote this with the thought that this shifts the Enforcers focus on the Mega Busters while the Princes are free to feud with someone else - i.e. a much more deserving team as I rather use my characters for filler since we got bodies and VERY capable individuals to hold titles around here now.
Speaking of Tag Teams I want to do the Stardom Tag Classic again this year, but in a single show format much like Reinas. More details, preferrably after my vacation on how I'm going to that up, but I'll prolly start scouting teams and guest stars for that ASAP.
