Ace309 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 (edited) The Smartmarks Wrestling Federation presents... SWF STORM! LIVE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 5th, FROM THE LEGENDARY MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK! (5PM PST, 8PM EST; check local listings) Matches are due to their markers by 8 PM EST. All materials (marked matches, promos, bagels with lox) are due to chirs3 by 10 PM EST. Opening Promo: SWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION JOHNNY DANGEROUS! As always, after a pay-per-view, the SWF is allowing most of its athletes some time off. However, two matches are slated to take place. One features two exciting rookies who debuted on pay-per-view, and the other involves a pair of impressive athletes who didn't compete. The Card House Rules Match: Penn Station Brawl - SWF Hardcore Championship Marcus Ward © vs. Nick "the Hitlist" Blum ~ Ward won the Hardcore Title in his debut, defeating Zyon and tonight's challenger, Blum, in a match that was ... odd, to say the least. In order to keep things kosher, we're having the rookies face off in the obligatory hardcore title "House Rules" match! (Don't worry, guys - the way the shows rotate, you'll get a normal stip soon. We promise.) Rules: The match takes place in Penn Station, the historic subway station below Madison Square Garden. It's attached to the stadium, but the match will start inside the turnstiles. There are escalators, subway patrons, homeless folk, MTA officers performing random searches, and - yes! - running trains! Falls count anywhere in Manhattan and can be obtained by pin, submission, or forcing the opponent to leave the station. Word Limit: 4500 Send To: chirs3 Hardcore Match Ghost Machine vs. JJ Johnson ~ Neither of these men competed on the pay-per-view, and so we're bringing them out to allow them to beat the crap out of each other in Manhattan! Will the notoriously "smart" crowd crap on Ghost Machine, or will JL Crunk's massive android protege show them how it's done by dismantling Johnson? Rules: None! It's hardcore, fools.

Toxxic 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 Personally, I'd have given the rematch to Zyon. I think a Zyon vs Ward feud would be the way to go - popular high-flying kiddy vs arrogant control freak heel. It's gold, I tell ya. *relaxes in the knowledge that he won't be booked* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devo 0 Report post Posted August 1, 2005 This seems like as good a place as any to let it be known that I will be in NYC from the second to the sixth (and possibly the seventh) and won't have Internet access during that time. If you need to get ahold of me for any reason, now's the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2005 I'm not sure what day my match had to be in, but it's already submitted For future reference, matches are due the day of the show, at 8 PM EST. Kudos for getting it done this early. Rules: The match takes place in Penn Station, the historic subway station below Madison Square Garden. It's attached to the stadium, but the match will start inside the turnstiles. There are escalators, subway patrons, homeless folk, MTA officers performing random searches, and - yes! - running trains! Falls count anywhere in Manhattan and can be obtained by pin, submission, or forcing the opponent to leave the station. This brings up an interesting point. It says falls count anywhere in Manhattan, but then it says you win if your opponent leaves the station. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace309 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2005 Sleight-of-hand to allow both wrestlers to brawl somewhere if the writer wants them to, or have a fairly final decision using a couple of other spots I can think of right offhand. Loose rules = writer freedom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
muzz 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Nice to see a card with some new blood only. Hopefully this show can get some insightful comments for the writers going. And Johnny did it again. Congrats is all I can say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
janusd 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 I remember when I used to scare markers by having a match done a day or two after the card actually went up. I like the Hitlist already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Hitlist Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Oh, wow. I totally missed the friday, august 5th part. [face_embarrassed] Oh, well. I wasn't going to be here, Friday, anyway, so it's a good thing that I thought it was due yesterday EDIT: I also have a question. Do you actually count the amount of words in the RPs? I sure as hell didn't count mine. I mean, I know that it's not over 4500, I'd be willing to bet my testicles on it, but just wondering how anal you guys are on the word count.

Secret Agent 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 RP'S? I hope you actually wrote a match and not a roleplay. If you are just asking about promos in general there is no word count for those just matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JJ Johnson 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 It was probably just a slip of the tongue, er, fingers, based on what he's used to. Unless I'm wrong, which will be embarassing if I am because I hate being wrong, Hitlist is In_This_Thread from IGN. I know that means nothing to any of you, perhaps with the exception of Hitlist, but I had a hunch and needed confirmation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace309 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Depending on the marker, if you exceed the word limit, there will generally be consequences of some nature. Since all the markers differ, it's impossible to codify, say, a "1% point penalty for every 10 words over the limit" or something, but depending on how egregious the violation is and the quality of your opponent's match there's a possibility that a match that's over the limit will be jobbed. MS Word has a built-in word-counter that most of us use. Again, it's impossible to say what the fed-wide policy of the markers is, since we try to allow the markers to retain as much freedom as possible to mark the better match to win subject to conditions they consider relevant.

Guest Hitlist Report post Posted August 3, 2005 Yeah, Ace, we call any matches "RPs". That's just what I'm used to from other feds. And yes, you're correct. I am, in fact, In_This_Thread from IGN. Who are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
