Can you book your way out of a paper bag?

by MtotheC Tue 10 Jul 2012 - 10:57

After buzzmans shoot promo I realised that perhaps we could all do a bit more to contribute to the board and that a regular feature or competition would be great to get some interest and entertainment going on here, I like Brett's promo competition idea but I feel a fantasy booking tournament could have more legs and after reading Kamikaze’s ‘make them relevant’ thread about big zeek it got me thinking.

So the premise will be:

Two posters will book a topic, a wrestler’s progression or a feud etc. and pm with their ‘story’ I will then post it up and the board will vote on the winner, it will take the shape of a knockout tournament, the length and amount of round s will obviously depend on the number of entrants, therefore please sign up below and I will add you to the list.

Ideally I would like this get off the ground asap and the first match up on Monday so if you’re interested in getting some banter and general discussion going sign up and we can try and get this going!

As with the WWC we can make this an annual event

Let me know your thoughts

I think we had similar format with 606v2 KOTR last year, but it died a very slow painful death.

Still sounds like a good idea. It would entertain me briefly.

by bretmeharty Tue 10 Jul 2012 - 12:37

I guess we both struck out, we can only but try.

fighting like beavers

I'd like to take part, but for the next week at leas my time will be very limited and I'm away on holiday at the end of the month for a week, if I could take part, I'm all in, if not it's fair enough

by JoshSansom Tue 10 Jul 2012 - 15:34

I'm up for that, though the obvious issue with the KOTR was that people saw it as being a popularity contest. I would say that you would need to make it anonymous in some way to prevent this from being an accusation.

im up for it could be a laugh

by BlueDragon1205 Wed 11 Jul 2012 - 0:12

by kamikaze Wed 11 Jul 2012 - 15:45

Ill give it a shot!

by MtotheC Wed 2 Jan 2013 - 12:32

BUMP

This idea never got off the ground but due to a combinations of factors: Christmas over, back to work, bored, WWC finished for another year I wanted to give it another shot.

Please sign up below if your interested in taking part and I'll make it happen.

by Dr Gregory House MD Wed 2 Jan 2013 - 14:06

Im in

by MtotheC Wed 2 Jan 2013 - 14:25

Nice one doc me vs you in round 1, 2, 3....all the way to the final! Going to be epic

Hopefully get a few more in to save the board from that fate!

My suggestion would be to run it as a Wrestling Apprentice style where people involved are split into two teams and they're given a subject to put forward their ideas upon.
I've been involved in a similar one on the football games section and they can be fun.

Looks like a four way dance then between me, doc, hero and Chris

I'll PM the three of you with the topic and then get booking it will be up to board to vote on there favourite the winner will bag 10 points, second place 5. Will make it a regular feature with a league table. The post will be anonymous to avoid a popularity contest (as I would obvious walk that) Whistle

by **Hero** Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 10:06

I'd hold fire atm and see if more what to join in in the Apprentice style format.

by MtotheC Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 10:09

Poor show hero!!! I'm bitterly disappointed! nope

by Fernando Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 14:20

You should now have your subject matter on PM guys

by **VDT** Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 15:11

I'll give it a go, hopefully get a chance over the weekend to something half decent together

by Bull Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 16:04

will it be both tna and wwe and how much do we have to write?

by MtotheC Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 16:16

The subjects will vary from match to match and will include TNA and wwe, with such a small group ATM we will all write on the same subject and the board will vote for their favourite. Should more people join up I will narrow it down to triple threats. You can write as much as you like and in as much detail.

by Bull Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 16:23

i may join ,not sure though at the mo and i dont really watch tna..

by Fernando Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 16:29

Think I'd struggle with TNA unless it was 5 ways to it better! My boss left early today so think I made a good start on this week subject!

by Bull Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 17:47

Happy New Year gents, hope you all had a nice Christmas, I'll give this a shot as well, can't do anything tonight but I've got a bit of traveling to do on Tuesday and Wednesday so will have time to kill to kick it off

by Adam D Sun 6 Jan 2013 - 18:20

I think you should keep the participants entries anonymous otherwise I will lose before I even write anything Laugh

by Kay Fabe Sun 6 Jan 2013 - 18:30

That's a good idea infact

by **VDT** Mon 7 Jan 2013 - 9:24
