Maybe just have the normal audience be the judges this time if we can't get 10 people to judge?

Also do we have 10 people interested currently? If so maybe now pick teams?

I know there is a question about workload and how many commited people could be drummed up, but personally, I would LOVE to see this as 3 shows. The Armchair Warfare threads were the best in this forum in a long time, really cool. I just think people got bored reading 5 different shows or whatever.

I think 3 shows would be perfect as we would get to see lesser used stars elevated with new gimmicks (rather than current stars dominating as could happen with 2 shows) and we would also get lots of variation on favorites etc...harking back to the days of WWE, WCW, ECW.

You could even start the 3 shows as similar to those 3 brands and work from there. Would give the whole thing a competitive edge and allow a lot of variation in writing, approach and talent used.

Right. People like you are the ones I was hoping would prefer this structure. The mind behind Lou P. Daight in the Armchair Universe? Sounds awesome to me.

I like the idea of the audience being the judges. Honestly, the audience can just read WHATEVER parts of either show that they want, and just vote/tell us about what they watched and what they didn't. It may not seem "fair", but it'd be a more accurate depiction of "ratings". That way, judges wouldn't have to feel bad if they wanted to skip parts of a show. Just vote on what you saw...

...I dunno, that sounds convoluted the more I think about it, but it could work. The reason I liked having designated judges was because the public polls were getting literally ZERO votes towards the end of the last season. I'd hate to have no feedback whatsoever.

I like where your head's at, but I think two is good for now since we're just kicking the tires on this thing to see if it'll drive or not. If all goes well, maybe a third team could be added next "season", or however we'd do it this time.

I think we all need to slow down a little.

Let's get some structure to it first off. Decide how many shows, how many people per team, etc before we start breaking off into teams.

Also, to combat having 2 "Super Shows" full of guys that are already Main Eventing howabaout...

We break the list of available wrestlers into Main Eventers, Upper Midcarders, Midcarders, Jobbers etc.

Then each show gets to pick 5 guys from each category.

It should hopefully "force" teams to try to elevate talent.

With 2 teams and "Main Event" calibre stars from WWE and TNA available you could easily find both shows with up to 10 "Main Event" guys.

Or maybe slightly more in the lower categories, since most promotions have a bigger midcard than main event scene. Something like:

4 main eventers
8 upper-midcarders
12 midcarders
6 lower midcard/"enhancement" workers

30 guys for a 5-man team. Obviously, those numbers were just sort of arbitrarily determined, but something along those lines might work.

I actually like 30 better than 20. I remember when I had 20 on my roster for Hard Knocks, there only seemed to be two guys that I could use to do continual jobs. Sorry about that, Paul Burchill and Kofi Kingston. More guys will leave you room to bury guys, which actually is a bigger benefit than some may realize.

Those numbers sound about right. You really wouldn't need more than 4 main eventers in a two hour show, right? A good amount of upper mids that can break through at any moment, and a whole universe to construct on your own in the midcard.

This is a fantastic point. And exemplifies why there needs to be further discussion on structure before we jump to picking teams.

Would it follow any sort of similar calendar structure to WWE? i.e. ppv's such as the rumble and elimination chamber where the teams would have to build towards having those sorts of matches. Or would it be something new entirely?

I think if it were something new, it would maybe still be a good idea to decide between the teams on dates for special PPV's similar to those I mentioned. It would probably help build a bit of excitement for the readers knowing that a royal rumble type show is coming up and for them to see who's going to win "the big one".

We COULD do just the WWE roster...but I kinda like having TNA involved. If we did just WWE, the main eventers would all be drafted, and we'd basically have our own Raw and Smackdown. We could really even name the shows as such.

Although writing a rumble would be pretty difficult between the two teams I would imagine.

I think if it were something new, it would maybe still be a good idea to decide between the teams on dates for special PPV's similar to those I mentioned. It would probably help build a bit of excitement for the readers knowing that a royal rumble type show is coming up and for them to see who's going to win "the big one".
I'd say that would be up to the teams to structure their events, but I agree that it would be a good idea to have shows like that. They're a gamble though, because if they don't resonate and you've already committed to a concept, you have to stick it all the way out.

I may not be in any position to give advice, but I'd think that the best way to go about something like that is to book the ending to your gimmick match FIRST, and if it feels awesome, go ahead and write the road to it backwards.

Ah, my mind's wandering again. I really want this to stick this time.

The game is far more dynamic/interesting with TNA involved. Angles with former WWE guys "coming back" and "dream matches", etc.

I'd say both shows do four 2 hour TV shows leading to a 3 hour PPV, rinse and repeat. What you do as far as concept for PPVs is up to the team.

Maybe just a certain number of "outside talent" permitted per team? And the teams could decide how to bring them onto the shows? Hype promos, randomly showing up etc

I think that the 'average' judge may not be familiar with the abilities of a lot of ROH guys, so it might be harder for them to imagine how things would be going down as they're written. It'd be a disadvantage to the writers, I think. If enough people really wanted ROH though, it might be OK. What does anybody else think?

Well, I'm actually fine if we skip them I'm just asking if we wanted to include them.

How would we pick teams?

Two captains who select members? Randomly drawn?

I don't think it should be random. Either a draft with captains choosing, cause let's face it, drafts are pretty fun. Or just have each team comprise a list of who would be their top 4 picks for main event wrestlers, top 8 for mid card etc and work it out from there?

Darren Young and his confused identity is the greatest thing in the history of our sport!

Man, I had to put up a fight to get Darren Young. I was so worried when I didn't get him in my draft. Epic PM trade negotiations:

Hmmm..
Of course we are allowed to trade.

Who are you interested in?

How about Michelle McCool (maybe you can have a BP/Laycool feud XD) for either Gail Kim or Daffney?

Not prepared to give up Gail Kim right now.

Would you be willing to part with Darren Young perhaps?

Hmm...perhaps, I want to see who I'm getting after XL makes the change to my roster; he gave me and Noid Zack Ryder by mistake and informed me Noid will be getting him, so obviously someone else needs to be in his place. I'll find out and after I do then I might give you Darren Young in exchange for...one of your divas perhaps?

Zack Ryder should be in every fed.

Anyways, I am definitely interested in Michelle McCool, but I also have a keen interest in Darren Young.

Perhaps we should talk more after your roster change, and perhaps if it goes quick enough the free agent picks.

Kinda want to get going as soon as I can though.

Yea sorry bout this, hoping XL gets on soon so we can get this sorted out.

We shall talk as soon as it gets sorted but...maybe Mickie for Michelle or Darren?

Also, plz don't take this as a insult, but I'm just curious: did you intend on making half your roster divas? lol

I intended on having some divas... I guess I may have went overboard. Also, I guess no one else was picking them so almost every time one showed up on my list, I got her. I figure though, if I can book a women's division and make people interested... bonus for me. Plus it is something "new" for this season.

FYI, XL informed me of what the roster situation should be, it won't be anything major, just getting someone else instead of Ryder.

Any divas you'd be willing to trade for Michelle? And if I give you Darren Young do you want Percy Watson too?

Well, I'd be willing to do the Daffney/Michelle trade.

As far as Percy Watson goes... I dunno. More interested in just Darren Young.

OK Daffney for Michelle works for me. And I might be getting Brother Devon now (just Devon), if u wanted...still thinking if I want to keep Young and Watson for a team.

Alright, let us message XL and make this trade official.

How about if I took Percy Watson along with Darren Young? I can understand not wanting to be left hanging with half a team.

OK that's fine either way with me, who would u be willing to give up in return?

No idea. Not Mickie James.

And it doesn't seem to be "either way with you" because you didn't want to trade just Darren Young.

Just name who you have interest in. If we can't reach a deal, I'll get by just fine.

Can I keep Watson? And we exchange Young for Hamada? I can probably think of something to do with him by himself.

This is a pretty epic quote box.

Hamada, huh? Alright... I think I can pick up a suitable replacement for her. I say the Young/Hamada trade is on. Let us again message XL. Good to do business with you.

Yes it is quite epic indeed and yes I am satisfied with what I got now lol I can make this work, or will die trying (well not rly)
