Next Card: Running On Empty

[John Leary]

OK. I've figured out our next card, well, mostly anyway. I'm aiming for Sept. 13 to post it, which will give me a little time to de-stress from the move and writing Power is Stolen this last week. So here we go:

1: Chingachgook (NEED BIO FROM YOU) vs. Angelfire

2: Luke Warm vs. Kurt Angel

3. Coma + Hallucination Boy + Little Good vs. Seth Harker + Insano Mano + Kamikazie Ken

4. Pigeon vs. Viruz/Axl (flaming glass tables...etc etc...)

5. XXXtreme Machine vs. Stephen Hawking

6. Zombie Mr. Fantastic vs. Snapmare Kid

7. Steve Studnuts + SMP vs. The Great + Pete Trable

8. Steel Chair vs. Kobe Gyant

9. Sarah vs. Jerri (T&A Title, Jell-O in a Cell-o Cage Match)

10. Trey Vincent vs. Death

After this show, there'll be 4 iMPLOSIONs then two more On-Demands.

The first On-Demand (late October) will feature the return of Snore Games: The Match Be-Yawn. It will be called October Surprise.

The last show of the year will be MegaBrawl II. I think it will be late November this year or the first week of December. We'll see as it gets closer. MegaBrawl is going to be our yearly final show, since I love the name. I'm pretty much set on the main event for that show as of right now, but plans could always change.

Hope this all sounds good. Now get Ranting!

Is there still no chance of me writing the handicap match? Because if so, I'm fine with that. I just didn't get an answer to my last pm, so I was wondering if I'm still unable to write matches... Like I said, I'm ok with using Scotty and Styles now, and I'd TRY to make them sound as authentic as possible... Thanks for any reply you have...

Dude, you already know the answer. But if I must make it official...

No.

Focus on your Rants and keep it simple.

[@xL]

Well... like I told you, I enjoy writing matches and angles ten times more than rp'ing. And as has been obvious from everyone's responses, my rants are long and boring, and have no interest to anyone. But if that's what I must do to stay here, then fine.

I know it's a crazy concept...roleplaying for an e-fed you're a member of.

To me, it seems like you put yourself ahead of BOB, which is once again what you're doing here, LOL. "If I MUST roleplay, then I will." Take a serious look at yourself, dude. Are you going to go hold your breath in the corner next?

You're not bound to stay here if you're not happy with what I told you yesterday. I've told you the way it will work if you want to stay, or if you want to go. There are no contracts or obligations.

Now quit bringing it up on the forums. This subject is closed and I'm sick to death of repeating myself over and over. I swear I have more fun talking to the wall behind my computer these days. At least it seems to be listening to me.

Axl:

Please stick to RPing or open your own fed. If you want to write matches and do angles so bad, open your own fed. It's that's simple.

Otherwise, when you're a MEMBER of a promotion, you do as the promoter asks. If this is unpleasing to you, then you have two options:
1) Do as the promoter asks anyway.
or
2) Leave the promotion.

Now then, I'm in the HELL that is independent wrestling. I get asked to do a lot of things, some I like and some I don't. I do them. I may not really like some of them, but I do them also.

Luckily, I've gotten to the point of getting myself over with dumb gimmicks that I have a say about some of the stuff I do now... and get opportunities that were absolutely unimaginable 3 years ago.

If you don't believe me, look here and go to my pictures:

profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=115939883

Yes, I played an Arab sympathizer. Did it get heat? You damn betcha it did. Was it hard sometimes? Yes, I was in the military and I'm about as patriotic as they come. But guess what? I did it anyway... and made the best of it.

In one of the top promotions in NC, where I was unknown to 4 years ago, I'm welcomed whenever I can show up.

Make the best with what is handed you.
Quit creating titles and angles on your own whims.
Make your character believeable to the fans (us other handlers and the promoter)
Get yourself over by not PUTTING yourself over in your RPs.
Does that make sense?

And please stop asking about writing matches, you've burned that bridge.

Or else, create your own promotion and angle away!

Okay?
Thanks,
J

EDIT:
Yes, I can't spell promoter.

And yes... we have YouTube shit.
Enjoy.

I told John that if I could, I would start my own fed. But I know noone would join. And if I were to write shows on my own site, with my own characters and angles, I'm pretty sure noone would read them. And even though the way I started out e-fedding was by writing matches on my own site that only my best friend in high school read, by now, seven or eight years later, I'd really rather write matches that a few people will read, and let me know what they think about them. But I know that's never going to happen.

John... I'm sorry for asking about writing on the show. I'm sorry it sounded like I was feeling forced to rant... I didn't really notice that's how I was coming off. But I do now. I'll be happy to rant for as long as you'll have me. And J... trust me, if I can't make my own fed, I'm not leaving BoB until I'm forced to. And when I'm forced to, or I've reached as far as I can go here? I'm retiring. I've been in tons of feds, and have really found two or three that were worth anything, besides BoB. And the reason I think BoB is as good as it is is because it has the distinction of being a parody fed. I love parody. Anything to do with parody. And BoB is the only parody fed left. So here is where my e-fed journey ends.

I understand this... but what's wrong with writing RP's and getting feedback from those?

If NO ONE (two words) will join your fed to read your matches, what makes you think they will read them here?

Concentrate on your RP's, with limited characters... the problem I see is that you get a group that becomes bigger than you can handle. Stick to a couple of guys and work with that.

Make those guys funny, I can't stress that enough.

BOB is a parody fed, which basically makes fun of "real" professional wrestling in general. The premise here is that all the wrestlers that compete in BOB suck so bad they can't make it anywhere else. Their gimmicks blow. Their skills are limited. They get into situations that normal wrestlers don't. If you know this, USE IT.

I can go to a million "serious" feds and be bored senseless if I want to... but that is not what I choose to do. I want to be entertained. I want to read stuff that is funny. Not some over endulged, complicated angle that's difficult to follow. Serious feds are dumb in a bad way. How can guys be "serious" wrestlers in an ONLINE promotion? If you want to be a SERIOUS wrestler, you don't do it in an e-fed, get in the ring like I do and sacrifice your body for other people's enjoyment, usually for no pay on the independent level.
And guys creating titles and winning them from each other in RP's is not funny.

Wrestling is basic. It's good vs. evil. That's it.

BOB is even more basic. It's stupid and low budget....but still good vs. evil. But be funny.

Read the rules of BOB, they've been there almost 10 years now.

You've been given several chances, and yet you eventually, and continually, revert back to doing the same shit over again.

Prove yourself in the Rant Zone, the "titles" will come if you do so. Creating your own and defacing BOB's belts when you get one is not the way to go.

But the bottome line is- BE FUNNY.

Okay?

Be funny.....

And I'm so bad at heels/faces sometimes its heels/heels.

And listen to J. Him smart.

Quick note: Changed the On-Demand name to Running On Empty since it has a better ring to it. The show will still be subtitled Send Us (Gas) Money.
