I suggested this a long time ago and I still think it has merit - of course it's BEST to have two men writing and well a two man writing team has a natural advantage over someone writing a match in isolation but I see nothing wrong with someone writing team matches or one singles match per. team member for a show.
Like Tox said we get the "thrown together" kinda team where we usually just wait to see what their breakup angle will be - and who says a team has to have a break up angle? I agree that there should be ground rules to keep 1 guy from having two seperately active guys and feuding with himself (OAOAST, it's right below us, check it out) but I think it could work.
Hell if this had been a rule I would have returned as a team

Well I'm available - barring any alien abductions etc.

LOL no they can't make the same claim about talented people - Dynamite was entertaining but not talented the other guys you mention have their place, in garbage matches which isn't the same as talent. Sandman, Douglas & Candido were over the hill by the time they came to XPW, even more so than when they worked for WCW. Juventud? sure he was entertaining. Lynn? Talented and entertaining. Sabu? If you like that kind of thing yes, he can fly, yes he can (sometimes) land on ya but his bread and butter is the garbage match NOT wrestling. and I'm saying that few of the people named in the time period they were in XPW put on entertaining wrestling matches and none as consistently as the WCW guys, few were as talented as WCW's mid-card.XPW can make the same boasts, though. Johnny Webb, The Messiah, Dynamite D, and Homeless Jimmy were all very entertaining in the ring. As were Kid Kaos, Steve Rizzono, and Carlito Montana. Let's not forget about the ECW/WCW guys who stopped in, namely Juventud Guerrera, The Sandman, Jerry Lynn, Shane Douglas, Chris Candido, and Sabu. Are you telling me that NONE of those have ever had a good match? The only one I'd put above the "above average" mark, in truth, is Jerry Lynn, but each are good enough, and often better than what we saw on WCW television each week due to various restrictions. WCW's booking was so bad it hurt the in-ring product. XPW was overall bad, but it was entertainingly bad. XPW were the Troma/Cult B-flick of wrestling: they're bad, but it was fun to watch.By your own admission they were "good enough" and "overall bad". It wasn't so bad it was fun to watch, it was JUST BAD period. they're the only wrestling tapes I ever threw out after buying them, it was that horrible.
-
I respectfully disagree, WCW may have had bad booking but at least it had good wrestlers on it's roster - XPW can't make the same boastsNah, not the dumbest. You ever seen Sullivan's booking of WCW in between Russo's stints? Much worse than XPW. At least XPW had the "so bad it's entertaining" factor to it. -
Apparently the full title of the show is "Can't Get a Date right"
-
Jericho Vs JBL - Bullrope match or something like that. their storyline is too personal and heated to be relegated to MITB participation.
Matt Hardy Vs MVP - if he's ready they HAVE to do this match or all their build-up will be flushed down the toilet

We see resident ditz / interviewer Emma Dumas waiting in the parking lot, eagerly looking around as she waits for the arrival her subject.
“You sure this is the place?” she asks her cameraman
“He’s driving in from the airport right? He’s booked tonight right?” a voice from off screen says
“Well yeah, but why would he come here? It’s dirty and filthy” Emma says and points to the parking lot.
“Because this is where he’d park his car?”
Emma doesn’t say anything, she just waits in silence passing the time by chewing gum and trying to file her nails at the same time but failing at it because two things at once is just too much for her. Then after a moment she spots a car coming
“Oh this MUST be him” she says with an excited giggle while jumping up and down, thus revealing why the SWF keeps her around.
A loooooooooooong black stretch Volvo Amazon pulls up next to Emma Dumas who bends over and tries to look through the darkened glass.
“Fans Emma Dumas standing by ready to get a word with the newest SWF wrestler and Clusterf*ck winner El Ho…”
Emma is cut off when the door opens and out steps the impeccably dressed Rikard Fleihr
“WØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØØ” Fleihr lets lose with his trademark sound as he looks down Emma Dumas’ dress. “The Four Norsemen are here, the Spaced Mountain is ready for business”
Emma stands there, looking dumbfounded as Arne Andersen, Olaf Andersen and Tolland Blankhardt step out of the stretch Volvo behind the leader of the pack.
“I was expecting El Hombre Sin Nombre”
“Well honey you’re getting the kiss borrowing, lending, vending, Volvo riding, First class flying sonuvagun Rikard Fleihr!!” Rik replies, ignoring the fact that this isn’t actually his interview segment.
“And can I just add that Norway was robbed in the European Handball Cup?” Olaf says, sucking up to Rik.
“They should have come to the Four Norsemen for some tips!” Tolland says with a grin.
“Why? Do you guys have a lot of experience with hands on balls??” Emma asks cluelessly.
“Would you like some experience with that?” Fleihr replies, then takes off his gigantic 80ties style smoke coloured sunglasses and looks straight at the camera.
“What you have here is a colle…” Fleihr’s voice trails off as the camera turns and points at a rental car pulling up behind the Four Norsemen’s Volvo. “Hey, hey where are you going!” Fleihr yells as Dumas and the crew run over to the other car.
This time it’s the right car with the masked El Hombre Sin Nombre behind the wheel. The rookie steps out of the car staring at Emma Dumas as she pushes the camera guy out of the way to get into the shot.
“Hi Emma Dumas” she says
“Are you?” El Hombre asks, confused about the frank admission.
“She certainly is” someone in the production staff yells.
“Well okay then” El Hombre says not sure what to say next.
“I’m so pleased to meet you, I’m a big fan”
“Really? But I’ve only had one match” El Hombre says rather meekly, not used to a good old American slut, the Mexican sluts aren’t half as slutty as this (it’s an exchange rate thing, very technical.)
“Yes but what a match, I mean you in there rolling around, getting all sweaty with so many hot guys… “ Emma trails off for a second in her own private fantasy.
“I’m not going to lie to you, it felt great to win the match, I mean I still can’t believe I won it” El Hombre says meekly. “I can hardly remember winning it” he then adds with a chuckle.
“And now you’re getting a World title match at From the Fire, are you excited?”
“Oh yeah its…. Great” El Hombre says in a very unconvincing tone.
“I mean how many rookies win get a shot at the world title in their third match” Emma asks.
“How many rookies are ready for a shot in their third match?” El Hombre Sin Nombre replies.
“You?”
El Hombre doesn’t answer that, choosing to adjust his mask a bit to distract Emma
“Man I bet you’re soooooo hot under there” Emma blurts out.
“It’s actually not that warm, I wouldn’t mind a mask with eye holes and a mouth opening but I can’t wear any other mask than this until I earn it.” El Hombre says totally misunderstanding what Emma Dumas meant.
“If your performance at the Clusterf*ck is anything to judge by you’ll -” Emma starts only to be cut off by Olaf Andersen shooting off his mouth
“He’ll get his ass kicked the entire match and have someone else win for him”
The other Norsemen join in and laugh at Olaf’s joke.
“Que?” El Hombre says, a little annoyed by the four pale (really PALE) riders of the Nor-pocalypse.
“Is the mask blocking your ears little boy?” Olaf says as he and the Norsemen approach El Hombre. “I said you don’t deserve the title shot, your win was a fluke.”
“Fluke?” El Hombre’s English isn’t 100% so he may not understand the word but he understands the tone and intention.
“Yeah a joke, I mean a rookie who has to have a big Samoa help him win” Rik explains with a very condescending voice.
“I’m not a joke!” El Hombre replies angrily.
“Well lookie here the widdle Mexican’t is mad” Olaf says while wagging a finger in El Hombre’s face.
“At least I actually won”
The laughing stops, no one tells the Norsemen that they’re jobbers, even if it’s true.
“Watch it kid” Arne threatens.
“I’m not afra-OUFF~!” El Hombre’s defiance is cut off as Olaf knees the Luchador in the gut followed by the rest of the Norsemen jumping El Hombre Sin Nombre, laying into him with kicks and punches as El Hombre goes into a foetal position on the ground to try and cover up.
“Oh my god stop it!” Emma yells as the Norsemen pummel the helpless and outnumbered El Hombre.
“This is what happens when you get in the Norsemen’s way, it’s not our fault, we’re Viking Warriors and just can’t help ourselves!” Rik Fleihr says, taking a moment out of the beat down to comment and oogle Emma at the same time.
“Security!! SECURITY!!” Emma yells
The threat of the local rent-a-cops makes the Norsemen stop, nervously look around and then scramble off in all directions at the sight of an old man in a grey uniform.
“I’ll see you later kid!” Olaf Andersen yells as Emma Dumas signals for the cameraman to stop filming.

shortly to be followed byApolo (German Figueroa), who signed recently with WWE, is in jail for a month after missing a court hearing in Puerto Rico regarding his domestic abuse case with wife Habana (who also works as a valet). This is a grand level of stupidity because both sides had agreed to dismiss the case and all Apolo had to do was show up to court. But he'd missed a few court dates and this one set the judge off, so he ordered him imprisoned until the next court date on February 25th."the WWE wishes Apolo all the best in his future endeavors"
-
Oh and I hope it's February 14th, not January 14th otherwise President Ramu is going to be working overtime
-
KILL THE SWEDES!!
... and Norwegians and Finns for not having a Danish Norseman! (Harry Windhamsen perhaps?).
-
Just noticed this.
Hombre Sin Nombre: 5'7'' 165 pounds
the lovely Miss Onita: 5'7'' 165 pounds
OMG BF4Ever! We should totally do a twins separated at birth thing
-
I am available but Lan-oxx already knew that
-
Not that much more sense, I entered at #18 although I also did two guest apperances before that, filling mystery spots is easier when you've got Multiple Personality Disorder
-
This is really weird, I wrote it from Friday to Sunday and as you can probably tell I rushed it in several places just so that there wouldn't be another "no-show" situation. From what I read on the forum I wasn't actually the only one to turn in a match? And against a surprising new champion (come on Tox losing to anyone is a surprise), a writer & character I've never encountered before?
One word
"Weird" or in Mexican "El Weirdo" (no wait that's my nickname)
-
what's .nsv?
-
Casting a shadow on his calf, nice touch
I guess I should be getting my profile up since I'm going to From the Fire... now that's just weird to say
-
-
Oh man I just realized, it would have been total GENIUS to have Myers be the wheelchair bound Mak, talk about going outside the box
-
Well it beats Batman & Robin that's for sure (I mean Matheson with those winged boots and green undies?), if not this time maybe... hmmmmm.... *brews a plot*
-
Funny because that's the only part of the match I had a problem with - Myers dresses up to entertain the crowd, to make them laugh and have a good time.I love the fact that Zyon made "Hollywood" Matt Myers.When was the last time SPike Jenkins made someone laugh (Intentionally) and have a good time? Plus he's a heel so he's a choice that Myers just wouldn't go for. My suggestion? 14th President of the United States Franklin Pierce (Myers) and Vice President William R. King (Matheson) (With a comedic twist to it), it's Sports Edutainmnet
something totally off the wall.

I'm gonna have to push my plans for next week, not doing well and too much friggin' work to do

-
Man this really is a shitty situation, I don't want the fed to close down but then again I'm not sure what to really do to change it.
I think some people just needs to know if this announcement is "we're definitly closing down" or more of a "Well if this doesn't pick up we'll close down": No hope or a glimmer of hope so I understand Landon's reaction and comments 100%.
I dunno what else to say.

Bonus Prediction: Will the federation thrive until October?

You're saying yourself "it was crappy" and I'm agreeing with that.
