You want a new idea? I GOT A NEW IDEA!

[Casey Angel]

Alrighty. So, I'm sitting back with my thinking cap on and my handy dandy notebook, trying to come up with new ideas to help separate APW from all those other efeds out there. Something that will make us truly unique from everyone else and give all of you as well as newcomers an even better reason to come here and be a part of us. Now, you must be wondering what such an idea would be after all that talking. Well, read on to find out!

Mr. Hugh has announced that we will have a "televised" house show after each Showcase to help keep interest up during our "bye" week before the first Full Throttle of the following month. I'm going to EXPAND upon that idea. Now, do keep up during the following.

During RPs, many of you have found yourselves talking about yourselves in matches at house shows to help push storylines. I am now giving you the chance to RP those matches yourselves! It will be much like written results, but your doing the writing yourselves without any type of simming going on. Leave it up to your imaginations to take us step by step through each match. You will be competing against "jobbers" in these matches, making up your own fake names of who your fighting and getting the win MOST of the time. Notice the MOST part.

You see, the main reason for this is to PUSH storylines. NO POINTS FOR WINNING THE MATCHES ARE INVOLVED! Whoever you are feuding with at the time will need to be involved as well. You can plan for them to come down and sit at the announcer's table to watch the match, have them run in to cost you the victory, interfere with your match but inadvertently set you up for the win, or anything else your minds may come up with. But, whether it be two people, two tag teams, or two stables, ALL feuding parties need to be involved.

If your interested, pay attention to the following steps:

1) PM our announce team, Mike Wayne & Roger Jackson, that your interested and would like to RP one of these matches. Both feuding parties need to do this for confirmation that their both involved.

2) Wait for Mike Wayne or Roger Jackson to PM you back, giving you the go ahead.

3) Make the RP using your own genius between the feuding parties. No copying off of others.

4) PM your results back to Mike Wayne & Roger Jackson for their editing(if needed).

5) Wait for them to post the results!

We will try to do these 2 times a month. They will be posted during the week between:

1) The "televised" house show and the first Full Throttle.

2) The first and second Full Throttle.



NOW, if you have any questions or comments, please post them below. Remember to vote as well!

Good idea. Damn good idea actually. My only concern would be whether or not people would utilize this as they should. Because if used in the context that Ms. Casey explained it in, it could help out with pretty much every storyline on the board. But, that's IF people use it accordingly and not just as something to make them look "cool".

Terra is already cool
But I vote yes as well. It would help storylines if done correctly...just takes some commitment from all parties involved. That's not too much to ask for.

Ah hell don't tell me I have to agree with Vegas of all people on this. To be honest I like it but I honestly see this as one of those situations were like Vegas said it people will try and make themselves look cool in the ring and nearly unstoppable, now there are certain cases I can see that with people like Dru, Cabal and yes even myself because lets face it how many times have we seem matches back in the day when WWE wrestling was alot better than it is now were a jobber would hit someone of their size and they would just shrug it off and proceed to rip their opponent apart only to lose the match because of interference from those they were feuding with. Also the length of time it could take to get a reply from someone could be a deterrent since in most cases this would be something done to keep a feud rolling people can't be left waiting that long on a reply that the idea they had is okay or for the results to be posted. Now I do think this could work but the idea itself may need some more refining once a test case or two has been run.

My main concern is if it gets followed through on... nearly the entire staff is on a completely different schedule here, so being able to check up on the PM's for these requests to get the stories done on time to me seems like it could be a hassle...

[Casey Angel]

It is quite possible it WILL NOT be followed through on. Many said they had interest in the idea. However, I received only 2 PMs about it. Unless we get more wanting to participate, the idea will be dropped.
