HVilleThugg

That's because we only have one confirmed match thus far...at least to my knowledge. As more matches are announced, I will add them to the card and promote. I'm really promoting this PPV since it's our flagship show, so I'm trying to do kind of like the WWE.com does by announcing matches as they come. Da "just be happy we're back on top" H

I am pleased to report that thanks to the tireless efforts of all the writers for Storm and the great additional writing of Frost and Ejiro...the SWF is back on top of the Empire Fed rankings! Thanks to everyone who helped out this past week, and keep up the good work. Da "you never know...I might actually do something" H

I just wanna say something real quick about the Bastion/Johnny match. Initially I planned to make Johnny look real good...basically having him display his great arsenal of offensive moves, but having Bastion no sell a lot...I was going to sell JOhnny's moves with the commentators, basically holding onto the notion that Johnny is an animal...just look at his moves against the monster....but goddammit...Bastion is just a beast. The end was to have Strangler come down in defense of Mark and give Bastion two chairshots and leave. Bastion would then do the sit up thing (ala Kane) and Strangler will be like WTF on the stage. Bastion would then hit his finisher on Johnny and win. Initially, Johnny would have gotten in TBS's face as to why he's at the ring and being all proud saying that he's kicking Bastion's ass...and Strangler would knock him down or something like that...allowing Bastion to catch him as he was getting up for the finisher. However...someone waited until Friday at noon to start writing the match (and still none of the promos written), so I did what I could. I didn't have time to write the match like I planned, so I just tried to make JOhnny look as good as possible while also making Bastion look like a monster all in the span of 3 hours. It was a struggle the whole way...and I think that was one of the worst matches I've written (second to my ICTV title violent spot fest against Axis and Chris Storm a long time ago). I know that had JOhnny written, I'd have lost with that match...which made it easier to flub the match like I did. So....sorry JOhnny if I made you look bad...I'm going to be thinking about how we can get you some face back... The angle's got so much into it right now...it's hard even for us to follow. Mark and I are spending a lot of time talking about things...it's rough. It'll pay off in the end, and I'm glad to see that most people understand what's going on...or, at least Strangler and Edwin do...and I think Ejiro's got a good sense of the direction so far. As far as the amount of twists go....well, we're at the whim of time on this one....ideally, we'd like to have dragged this out longer and have more time between swerves, but we just can't for certain reasons...so, we're forced to bring it in very quickly. And, as you can imagine with me and Mark at the helm....there's even more twists to come. Oh...and yeah...after I posted that above, I was like....doh...I'm gonna get reamed for not commenting myself. But I was on the way out the door, so I couldn't do it. I haven't read everything, but by god...world title match...holy cow...what a match!!! I'm all kinds of impressed. Although, Tom's always impressed me....one of three people I'm afraid of in the fed....and he's who I fear the most. I skimmed Strangler's match....and Jesus...talk about close. I didn't put my marking strategy to it, but off the top of my head....it would have been impossible to determine a winner. So, good work to both of you...I'm curious as to what this does to the Genesis main event. Da "didn't think he made Johnny look that bad" H

I'm with you Frost...I don't pay more than 10 for any t-shirt...and no more than 20 for any collar shirt. However, this is for a good reason, so I'd pay more just cause...I mean, I'm sure the shirts will look awesome, but I doubt I'd even wear it in public. So, I'm really in it just to donate... Da "isn't quite ready to admit to ultimate geekdom" H

No one is going to comment on Storm? WTF? Ok...fine. Da "will not put in that work again" H

For the record... The cycle is 2 weeks before Genesis III to a week ago. You'll have to do the match to figure out if a promo or match fits that range, but if it's in there, then it can be nominated. Da "words from on high" H

Hee hee...making Judge tap to the tickle...my finest moment! Da "sorry for the diversion" H

Oh...upon closer inspection...nevermind. Da "hahahaha" H

Could have sworn I said that... Da "I guess people are going to do what they want to do anyway" H

Please don't "second" nominations! Da "sigh" H

I give up trying to moderate these threads.... Da "talk about whatever you want" H

Just to be clear Frost...I'm not saying you can't nominate yourself. You certainly can...I was just trying to nip something in the bud before it happened...cause a lot of times, threads like these turn into a discussion of good matches or this match I wrote or that match I wrote and how I liked writing it and blah, blah, blah...I don't want that. I don't want to get into a discussion of fun matches you liked writing or matches that weren't that good, but you had fun...that's all...i just don't want that. If you think your match should be up for match of the year, then go right ahead and nominate it...that's fine. I'm not saying that either you nor Tod did what I said above...just your posts reminded me of something I wanted to say when I posted the thread...that's all. It all boils down to...I want serious nominations...not a discussion of particular matches you wrote that you don't think will have a shot at winning, but you wanted to mention anyway. Da "hope that clears it up" H PS - AND DIDN'T I JUST SAY, STRANGLER, NOT TO "SECOND" OTHER PEOPLE'S NOMINATIONS!?! THIS IS NOT A VOTE DAMMIT...IF EVERYONE STARTS TO SECOND THINGS OR AGREE WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S NOMINATIONS, THEN THERE'LL BE NO POINT TO VOTE CAUSE THE WINNER WILL BE DECIDED RIGHT HERE ON THIS THREAD. PPS - Sorry for the caps...it was on from something else I was writing.

Ok....not that everyone will do this, and I know Frost was joking...but I want to make it clear...this is not a thread where you should be looking to promote your own matches or to talk about what matches were decent that you wrote. This is a thread to make nomination for PPV Match of the year...what match do you think shoudl win match of the year! Please don't fill this thread up with "I really liked my Last Man Standing Match with Francis...it's not the best match, but it was hard to write and fun". Please don't do that...the threads will get too cluttered, and we don't have time to weed through that stuff. ONLY POST SERIOUS NOMINATIONS! Da "Will only say it once" H

Uhhhhh...yes. Sure, go ahead.... Da "::snickers::" H

Why don't you just shut the fuck up then? Da "gotta love taking cheap shots at the boss while he's on vacation and can't see what you're writing...wait...oh shit" H ::runs and hides::

No you can't. Da "self-appointed ruler of this thread" H

"Your soul is worth £90481. For your peace of mind, 4% of people have a purer soul than you." Which I believe comes out to about 144,004.15 USD. I'm evil...how the hell did this happen? Da "took a purity test a few years back and was only around 45% pure....why is my soul worth so much" H

This was on the birthday thread a bit, but I'm curious. It is my hypothesis, that our average age is up at least 2 or three years from where it was 2 years ago, when it seemed that everyone was like 14, 15, or 16. So...how old is everyone. Da "will be 24 in November" H

Why can't I quote things in this thread?? DA "what the fuck" H

I'll get my respond on... Why don't the wrestlers go challenge King themselves?? Well, then we wouldn't have a story with Grand Slam, King, and Thugg... We haven't really mentioned it much, although I did a few shows ago when Thugg came back...no one wants to lose their job. Personally...I think that's pretty weak because wrestlers attack commishes all the time...however, we always tend to use certain things that are convenient for the angle. For this angle, it was convenient for everyone, except Strangler probably, to be afraid to lose their jobs. It's the same reason King banned employees from owning stock, even though in the real world, that's totally illegal. That was a little far (mainly because I didn't know it was illegal), but still...it's convenient for the angle, so I use it. I would have liked to have written more interaction with the wrestlers...but the problem with that was mainly time. The timeline for the show wasn't mapped out until a couple days before it was to air...and I wanted until the last minute due to other obligations. Also, I didn't really have permission to use Strangler, Mak or Annie in that promo, so I had to do as little as possible with them in case they were doing something else in the show. Sorry about that y'all...hope it's all good. If I'd had time to write a proper segment, there would have been WAY more interaction. Originally, we did kind of plan for both sides to gather up their army...but time didn't allow it as much as we thought it would. As you see, we've only got 3 shows till Genesis, and Mark JUST came back. Given that time is somewhat short, we couldn't go into as much depth as we wanted to...but if you look, it's there a bit. Obviously, THugg has his army, with all those that joined him in the parking lot...with Strangler being the obvious battle leader and closest with Thugg. King has his as well...with Fasaki and Judge pledging their allegence a few shows back and Johnny D. helping out with his attack on Thugg. So, it's there on some level. The other issue with having armies was that we, as CC and as a group, didn't want to tie up too many active wrestlers in an angle that focused on us non-active personalities...make sense? Mark, King, and I are the focus of the angle...so we didn't wanna tie up 7-10 active writers in this when they can be focusing on their own angles and title shots and such. I know we could have made mini angles out of it as well...but it still remains that the entire angle would be revolved around non-active competitors, which isn't fair to all of the people who work hard in this fed. All three of us were against taking a ton of people and having them play out this angle with us as the focal point. I think you are forgetting Mark a bit...while he was definitely a man who would kick the crap out of you...he never really rushed into things without thinking about the best way. Also, if he had just waltzed back in the building to beat up King, he would have never got there...King's too smart for that. Besides, King retired Mark...which, probably had some emotional damage. Mark has never been much of the "ambush them in the dark" kind of character, so, if I remember correctly, he never did too much in the way of attacking people backstage or what have you. As far as why Mark didn't attack him in the ring...well, he knows better than that. King would have been quick to exit, so there's no point in wasting energy. However...here's the most important reason!! Throughout this angle, we have established that what is most important to King is power...he needs to be in control of everything. That's all he wants...and you see...if a man cherishes money...you hurt his wallet...if a man cherishes sex...you give him erectile functional disorder....if a man cherishes power and control...you take it from him. So Mark hit him where it hurt him the most...in his ego. Now King is forced to work WITH him, which is the last thing he wanted to ever do. Problem with this is that we only have 3 shows, including storm, before genesis. With the other aspects of the angle we have planned, we couldn't wait any longer to bring mark back. We wanted to wait longer before even bringing Thugg back, but in order to fit it all in, he had to come back when he did...and so did Mark. And, likewise, the match had to be set now, or we would have run out of time to finish the angle the way we want it to finish. And I could have sworn that Mark made the match...not King. The timing of the match being set is purposeful and will make sense down the road...I promise. Mak, to touch on your desire to have the back and forth...I love that you do it man...I really do. But not everyone has time to write out a long winded response to your evaluations. I try to explain myself when I have the time, like today, but I don't always have time to do it...so sometimes I just read and sometimes I make a brief comment...and sometimes I do details. Just a note. Da "long-invested angles will pay off...but you have to be patient" H
