OK, guys. I've already mentioned this to J, and he's feeling the same way. We're both feeling the urge to take a break from BOB. BOB is not closing. But as you guys know, we go through these stretches with nothing happening (see: 2004, 2006 to name two).
I'm planning to write the September and December On-Demands as planned.
As for the rest of the year? Well, I have a couple options I'd like to see what you guys think.
Option 1: ROH video wire/House Shows
IMPLOSION is cancelled (I'll be posting a Trey Vincent Rant this week to explain this). BOB goes on house show tours, mainly in the Western U.S. (Nevada/California/Washington). I make a new board here on the forums where you submit short material (500 words or less) of either match highlights, in-ring segments, or backstage promos or interviews with Styles or Scotty Whatbody. After a certain amount of time, I close the house show threads and post it as a Video Wire sort of show (think how J posted March Mayhem this year). This keeps the forums active and reduces the amount of writing I have to do and I can just focus on booking the shows and having Styles or Scotty do a quick recap of what happened.
Most material would be written summary style (i.e., no commentary by Styles/Scotty), unless it's a promo, then it can be our usual script style. I still need to sort out this part a bit more, but that's the gist.
In this scenario, if you want to write longer RPs, you post them on the Rant Zone.
Option 2: Nothing. We don't run any house shows and we just do our two big shows. If you want to post RPs, you do. If you think you don't want to stick around, you can move on. I want to be honest with everyone and not string you guys along.
BOB isn't over by a long shot, as I plan to always keep this active in some form or another.
Questions? Thoughts? Suggestions?
