In Games I've run in the past, we've included a certain amount of indy guys, because it encourages bookers to look even more past current gimmick and storylines and make something completly new for these guys. Generally works really well, and depending on how well booked they are, they can be top guys in promotions.
Likewise, we occasionally open up development territories. With the key caveat, that if you are calling someone up to the main roster, you need to have a decent angle/debut for them, and a long term plan for their use. You mustn't be calling them up for the sake of bolstering your roster. Again this works well, because, if you look at dev. territories, and see a guy that fits a gimmick well, if well booked, it's pretty interesting. Looking forward to seeing if there is a second season, and, I'd deffo love to be a booker this time around, seeing as my stand by spot was jumped ![]() |

I definitely understand people's dislike of Rob Terry and Magnus but, I believe if booked correctly in very short matches Rob Terry could actually come off well. He was the "Giant", albeit a losing one, of DWW and Magnus was the partner who could actually wrestle in a pinch. Terry was relegated to chokeslams, big-boots and powerbombs. I was trying to book Rob as a "Psycho Sid" from his ECW days. I know the guy is limited and this was my reasoning.
The logic of having him in the finals between the MCMG match and the 2/3 Falls match was that I needed something that wasn't a gimmick match but wasn't going to drain the fans after a truly exciting match. I was going for DDP VS. The Giant (duh, diamond cutter for the win) and wanted to keep it short. The 2/3 Falls match was not meant to end the feud but, really to truly begin it. Raven had made the save on Rhino the previous week and so I wanted to throw another sub-plot in there before the finish that would come two months later at the second PPV after next. The idea was for Rhino to continue his path of rage and destroy Raven at the next PPV in a Hell in a Cell match. Bourne would be cheated out of a victory at the next PPV by Terry Funk (heel turn) setting up for a three-way for the World Title at PPV #3. Bourne VS. Rhino VS. The Miz(c) in Stairway to Hell Match (barbwire hanging above the ring) with Terry Funk backing The Miz. Rhino would become the 3rd man to wear the belt in DWW history. He would then successfully defend the belt at PPV #4 from The Miz but lose the belt at PPV #5 before feuding with Terry Funk culminating at PPV #6 with a Last Man Standing match (Rhino coming out on top). The Miz would lose the belt to John Morrison at PPV #6. I'd then give Morrison a 6 month title reign with 4/6 PPV matches against baby-faces Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Paul London and Rhino, the heels being Raven and finally The Miz again to capture the title back. MCMGs were going to continue feuding with The Bogus Journeys (Londrick) in a Best of 5 series culminating at PPV #2, their entire face-turn was just a tactic to get the two teams to completely lose their shit when the hired-guns Tanaka/Tajiri (who recently tagged with eachother in Japan) came in. The MCMGs would continue their title reign, being victorious over the BJs at PPV #2. Morrison and Kofi would feud with Tanaka and Tajiri before defeating the Japanese invaders at PPV #2. They would then face MCMG at PPV #3 in a winning effort. PPV #4 would see them lose the titles back to MCMG and the disbanding of the team. They would then have two heel vs. heel feuds against the British Tigers and then Tanaka/Tajiri before losing to the face-turning BJs in a losing effort at PPV #7. MVP and Homicide would continue feuding with Mysterio featuring Shark Boy, but not in tag matches. This would go on in various forms until PPV #5 where Mysterio came out in a Black Mask and turned on Shark Boy and then started feuding with Bourne. MVP and Homicide would then feud with the BJs til PPV #6. BJs coming out on top and moving on to a feud with the MCMGs again. Jesse Neal, Primo would become the minions of Raven and stop competing in regular matches for a few months, instead coming out with Raven and doing beat-downs. Eventually, I would hope to build them up as hated heels that by the time PPV #7 comes around they'd be big enough to face Bourne and Amazing Red (by then a tag team). |

I'll definitely judge for Season 2.
As for the roster pool, I do think it needs to be expanded so as to provide enough flexibility for the draft/potential free agent ideas. However, I wouldn't expand it TOO much. So I'd say one of these (NOT both): Idea 1: The entire WWE, TNA, and ROH rosters as of the day of the draft are eligible. Idea 2: The entire WWE and TNA rosters as of the day of the draft are eligible, as are anybody who was future endeavor'd by either company during 2010. This will allow some extra flexibility and guys could utilize Batista, Haas, Benjamin, Carlito, Hurricane, Knox, and whoever the fuck else. Either way, the wrestler pool as of draft day is final. No adding guys who weren't in the game at the start. |

If Season 2 is a month of booking again, I'd say development territories aren't worth it.

I'd like to be a judge but I would prefer another crack at booking since I never really got a chance to book my own show I had to take over halfway through. However, I am aware that such a move may be unfair to those who have yet to book at all.
So I'll be of service in whatever capacity I'm welcome to. |

Very classy of you TSO. As it stands there isn't too much interest in booking (but I haven't sought out interest beyond this thread yet) so you may get a slot by default.
I'd like to give preference to those that have supported the game through S1 if possible. There were a lot of people that showed interest but then drifted away after they weren't picked to participate directly. Judges that failed to turn in rankings might also fall victim to unpreferential treatment. But that's all pretty moot until we see how much interest there is. I am looking to have S1 finished off by the end of the week. So we need those rankings in from the judges. ![]() |

Vito, my thoughts were along the lines of option 2. TNA & WWE rosters plus the handful of talents that people may want to use (Batista, Haas, Daniels, etc).

Option two is probably best then. Gives the most scope for having good wide rosters and using people that may not be a part of TNA/WWE but, should be!
Looking forward to season 2! I'll be involved in any way, but would love to book ![]() |

Definitely regret not being able to post in these threads, but I was much busier than I thought I'd be when this started. Loved being a judge, though and reading all of these shows.
Bookers should be commended for jobs very well done ![]() |

Just thought, what do we do with the guys from NXT that are now no longer "on the roster"? I'd like to include them again personally but would they get picked up?

One thing I won't be doing is making the drafted rosters public.
Aside from the Mystery Man reveal that was "ruined" I think the first shows will read better if you don't know who's about to appear. I think my opening segment to Show 1 would have had more impact if you read it and didn't know Hogan was in there (OK, you didn't know that he was) and then HHH came out, then Orton, then Anderson. I think that could have evoked a "Holy shit, VCW has some top guys on their roster" response and given that opening more "oompf". |

In what could be considered quite the coup for Armchair Warfare, TPWW's "Unofficial Best Booker" Noid has thrown his name into the hat for Season 2.
