Tony149 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 Some of you may know we currently do not have names for our September & November events, so I'm asking you, the people, to help name them. The names for last years events were Dirty Deeds (September) & Deadly Games (November). They could return if you want them, and I'd like to know what we're running with so we can plug it during AngleSlam. Let the name game begin! Here are some names Parka threw out (from something he did months back with friends I believe): Total Annihilation Global Warfare Demolition Derby Champions of the Ring (It was a King of the Ring like PPV every year) Ring Wars Street Brawl Independence Day Summer Heat Rage in the Cage The Ultimate Brawl The Last Battle A Night to Remember Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

caboose 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 I am the man at this. I came up with most of the original and currently used names. ::Switches off arrogance mode:: Criticisms: Total Annihilation - Connotes guns not wrestling. Global Warfare - Again, too much emphasis on weaponary. Demolition Derby - Suggests Cars. Champions of the Ring (It was a King of the Ring like PPV every year) - Hackneyed. Ring Wars - Passable. Street Brawl - * Independence Day - Not really apllicable to a wrestlig fed. Summer Heat - Dull. Rage in the Cage - * The Ultimate Brawl - * The Last Battle - * A Night to Remember - The Best of the lot. * = All suggest one match is big and not the whole show. Deadly Games is a good'un I think it should stick. As for the September show, how about... "OAOAST Showdown!" "OAOAST Point Of No Return" (Actually this one sucks) "OAOAST Megolamania" "OAOAST Blood On The Mat" "OAOAST Ashes To Ashes" BRING THIS ONE BACK! "OAOAST The Burning" "OAOAST Fade To Black" "OAOAST Heavan & Hell" "OAOAST No Remorse" "OAOAST Never Say Never" "OAOAST My Way" "OAOAST School Of Hardknocks" (As opposed to School's Out) "OAOAST Downfall" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank Kingsley 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 "OAOAST Ashes To Ashes" BRING THIS ONE BACK! But the SWF used this first (and still uses it). DRAMA~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 "OAOAST Ashes To Ashes" BRING THIS ONE BACK! SWF Ashes to Ashes - 11-7-2004 Believe me, we will sue. EDIT: Supes is teh sux00rs~! Anywho...I'd say Deadly Games is good enough to stick. Plus you could conceivably add the old 'Spin The Wheel' gimmick to the matches for something special with that name. As for other names... "OAOAST Last Angle In Tampa" (live from East Rutherford, New Jersey) "OAOAST Live & Deadly" "OAOAST Final Countdown" "OAOAST Conclusion" "OAOAST Life's A Bitch" (or B*tch if we're being PC) "OAOAST Watch Them Fall" "OAOAST At The Gates Of Hell" "OAOAST No Gimmicks Needed" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 I think I once suggested Climax as the Dec./end of the year show. Others: OAOAST Criminal Intent (although IMO, it'd be similar to the This Ain't Oz prison theme. Could always switch it to Hostile Intent, or something). OAOAST Off The Hook OAOAST Uprising (I'd envision this as a "newcomers/upstarts vs. the veterans type of PPV) OAOAST Point of Impact OAOAST Zero Tolerance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2004 I had an idea for an event once called "Titletown." Could hold it in the summer (from Lambeau Field, was my idea), and make a point to defend every title on the show. Just something. Less a yearly PPV idea and more a special event type. Also: - OAOAST Fall From Grace (perfect for an autumn event) - OAOAST Retribution Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That was the idea I once had behind Title Wave, until Northstar and I came up with the concept of having multiple titles at stake in one match. That still stands out as one of my favorite OAOAST matches to do, as well as read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Showdown: Feels like it's missing something. Maybe put the City name after it (i.e. Showdown in Boston! Or not) Point of No Return: You're right it does suck Megolamania: It doesn't really strike me as a PPV name Blood on the Mat: Decent, but it sounds more like a subtitle Ashes to Ashes: Always loved this name...I agree bring it back The Burning: Meh...another subtitle-ish name Fade to Black: I like it Heavan & Hell: Was that an intentional typo? I hope not. No Remorse: I'm torn on whether this one sounds like a stand alone name or a subtitle Never Say Never: Would be a good subtitle for License to Pin My Way: Who's way? It would suggest a focus on one person School of Hardknocks: I actually like this one Downfall: I like this one too We are bound to find a name out of all these suggestions. If all else fails we can just go with Dirty Deeds and Deadly Games again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony149 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2004 "OAOAST Ashes To Ashes" BRING THIS ONE BACK! Ashes to Ashes: Always loved this name...I agree bring it back The show was set to return until I saw the SWF using the name a few months after we did our A2A. Remember the OAOAST's version took place on the VM forum (for those who remember that) before moving back here. Another useless tidbit: we either called it "Ashes II Ashes" (pretty sure this is the name we stuck with) or "Ashes 2 Ashes". I guess we could use DUST TO DUST. I'm thinking of going with Downfall & Deadly Games if a clear favorite doesn't emerge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony149 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2004 Am I correct in stating that people don't like PPV names that are sentences? Such as "Dial AS for AngleSlam" or "This ain't OZ" Market research suggests kids love the names. And for those who care, names still haven't been picked yet. You have until Saturday to find a name for Sept. or Dirty Deeds will return. Or I could let the OAOAST Champion pick the names. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
