Guest Jimmy Beard Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Its just a thought but being new to this game i thought it would be a good idea to bring up some premierly ideas that may work as a small segment on held down for the new guys and also if waranted some guys that need that extra boost, my first idea was having a belt for the young prodigys, for example you can only win it if you are a first seasoner? What do you think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Amazing Rando Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I've always thought that Cole/Coach could do a Wrestler of the Week type thing and it could help boost anybody...but could mostly be used to put newer guys over....and could even build any feuds...

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I'm not a big fan of belts that are restricted to a certain group of people. I feel it's detrimental to them in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jimmy Beard Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I'm not a big fan of belts that are restricted to a certain group of people. I feel it's detrimental to them in the long run. thats a fair comment about the belts i can see your point, how about a mini battle royal between the new guys every so often to see which one gets a bigger push i think that would make sense.

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I think a KotR type thing could work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I like the KOTR idea better since we've done so many Battle Royals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted May 10, 2003 If we are doing a KotR thing, how about LotR? Like Lord of the Ring. We spin a wheel or something and it becomes that match. You know, kinda like the Roulette when Raw was in Vegas. Thusly, it could be any match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kingpk Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Yeah. 4 from IZ, 4 from HD, qualifying matches on the regular shows. Winner gets a World Title shot or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted May 10, 2003 How would we decide who gets the spots though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted May 10, 2003 How would we decide who gets the spots though? Selection by association. Since TE is a stable, they'd bitch whine and moan that one of their own is in, thusly, one of us is in the tourney garenteed... I don't know how the rest of you will do it, but I guess you guys will work it out somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jimmy Beard Report post Posted May 10, 2003 i dunno but i'm getting the feeling that my idea has been missed placed and everyone is thinking of different ideas, but hey nice to have helped you guys come up with some good clean ideas that don't involve AK-47's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I've brought up doing a tourney to the mods but I haven't had the time to develop it any more. The problem, of course, is figuring out how to determine who wins their matches and, eventually, the tournament itself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest SP-1 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 The easiest idea is, of course, have all the participants write their matches and decide which matches work best. BUT, as I've stated before I hate that system and would rather have nothing to do with it. I'd much rather use the Tournament to help advance some storylines and help get some people "over". I don't think any of the Mods should participate, though. Give some of the newer folks a chance to shine in a tourney setting. I'm open to suggestions for choosing winners. The idea I like most is just throwing everyone's names in a hat and drawing the winners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big Poppa Popick Report post Posted May 10, 2003 we're trying to do something like what youre suggesting on iZ firstly we made the NA title important to the show, in that its the last match every week...and its defended every week, gives people a chance to "shine" secondly we had the NA battle royale to give everyone a chance to be on the show and put into iZ's only title so i think its kinda the spirit of your idea jimmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest CanadianChick Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Is there a logical way to decide who gets in, or is that going to be drawn out of a hat too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I don't think heldDOWN needs a tourney to get guys over per say. I think our shows have done a great job getting people over. Totally Endorsed, Crystal and K Money are just a few of the names who benefitted greatly from the split. A tourney idea in theory is not bad however for a gimmick show or PPV, allowing everyone to have something to do, rather than scramble for an angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest SP-1 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I was thinking I'd handle it as a side show. It's own kind of thing that I'd post seperately. Call it the, "CWM Memorial Tournament" or something and post it on it's own as it's own show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jimmy Beard Report post Posted May 10, 2003 obviously i haven't been here long but i realise that there has been a few problems hanging around the area from what i have read, but a tournament is a g ood idea, my idea would be if you have a set of 16 wrestlers pulled out of a hat by a trusted source, the eight that lose could be put into a wooden spoon tournament where they would fight for an alternate belt and the other eight fight towards the big one therefore you have two issues and more feuds.

Guest caboose Report post Posted May 10, 2003 Maybe we should do a Lethal Lottery/Battle Bowl? We've already had one. I wrote it just under a year ago. It was the show that saw the aWo recieve a No.1 contendership to the OAOAST Championship, when I was the Champion. I thought I posted it in the archives, but it's missing. I'll repost the show when I go home next week. FYI: The Battlebowl triggered the much discussed aWo reunion storyline. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 I have the memory of a goldfish. Describe the Lottery concept. Wrestlers are randomly placed in teams through a random drawing. The first two rounds are tag tournament style. At the end of the first round the second round matchups are randomly selected from the remaining teams. Those who are left at the end of the second round then go into a battle royal where pinfalls and over the top rope count and there are no longer teams. Everyone is for themselves. The winner get's some sort of reward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 The problem with the Lethal Lottery when WCW did it was that they always purposely put tag partners against each other. You could tell there was no way it was done randomly which killed the whole idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2003 there could always be promos setting it up, but like was said before we already did one not long ago. So let's stick with a normal tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
