19:14	JoeRules
19:14	JoeRules	issues noted in the doc
19:20	AbrasiveObelisk	JR, I think you missed a segment
19:22	JoeRules	the one that's missing has a question that's gotta be addressed before I can book it
19:23	AbrasiveObelisk	no, Dudleyz aren't talking
19:24	AbrasiveObelisk	and in Jericho/Hakushi, why would there be Lynn interference?
19:24	JoeRules	there's a note for it
19:24	SeneriGhost	we have it--yeah
19:24	AbrasiveObelisk	why?
19:25	SeneriGhost	I'm guessing from before we came up with Jericho's turn
19:26	SeneriGhost	I'm guessing that the Jericho plays to the crowd part was supposed to be Lynn comes down and distracts him, Jericho attacks Lynn
19:27	JoeRules	BTW, in case it wasn't clear, I totally want writers to participate in the End-Of-Year Awards, so please do the nominations when you get time
19:27	AbrasiveObelisk	oh okay
19:27	AbrasiveObelisk	I thought we couldn't
19:27	JoeRules	yeah, I should have said something
19:28	SeneriGhost	can I get a link so I don't have to comb through the thread like the lazy butt I am
19:28	JoeRules	it's the very first line in the OP
19:28	SeneriGhost	oh ok saves time then
19:29	AbrasiveObelisk	JR, say that it's in the OP in the thread too
19:29	JoeRules	will do
19:29	AbrasiveObelisk	By the way, how many have you gotten already?
19:32	SeneriGhost	This only counts 1996 Matches right?
19:35	JoeRules	the awards?
19:35	JoeRules	no, everthing since the game begun
19:35	JoeRules	I know it hasn't quite been a full year, but close enough, and with a good stopping point
19:36	AbrasiveObelisk	how many submissions have you counted already?
19:37	JoeRules	2
19:37	AbrasiveObelisk	hooo
19:38	AbrasiveObelisk	yeah, make sure you emphasize that everyone can vote
19:38	SeneriGhost	I'm trying to find matches to nominate from WCW because I do think they had some good matches, but I don't like their formatting, which is holding me back
19:39	AbrasiveObelisk	and use the cross-promotion with GOON-CW
19:39	AbrasiveObelisk	I like WCW formatting
19:39	AbrasiveObelisk	A bit too long sometimes
19:40	AbrasiveObelisk	Randy Savage/Hulk Hogan, Fans Bring The Weapons was really good to rad
19:40	AbrasiveObelisk	read
19:41	SeneriGhost	oh yeah legitimately forgot about that one.
19:41	AbrasiveObelisk	WarGames
19:42	AbrasiveObelisk	Both Hennig/Hogan
19:42	JoeRules	and also, no modesty here - please nominate your own writing if you think it's worthy.
19:42	AbrasiveObelisk	It's a lot harder to find really good WWF matches
19:43	JoeRules	I'd also say throw noms to TV stuff that's worthy, since I'm sure almost no one will go back and revisit all the TV eps to see what was outstanding
19:43	SeneriGhost	My personal favorite of my own writing actually hasn't come out yet. It's literally currently being booked.
19:44	AbrasiveObelisk	the Owen Snaps promo?
19:44	SeneriGhost	yeah
19:44	AbrasiveObelisk	I love it
19:44	SeneriGhost	I didn't write much, but I liked it
19:45	SeneriGhost	I'm gonna nominate it.
19:45	AbrasiveObelisk	My favorite of mine is probably a Pillman/ICP promo right before SummerSlam?
19:45	SeneriGhost	Oh yeah I forgot about IYH12
19:45	AbrasiveObelisk	I know it was right before Pillman/Jericho
19:45	JoeRules	let me get these notes taken care so I can get RAW run
19:45	JoeRules	Traylor needs push, gimmick, and alignment if you're using him on the dark match
19:46	AbrasiveObelisk	Traylor is Heel, Upper Midcard,
19:46	AbrasiveObelisk	What gimmicks is he good at?
19:46	SeneriGhost	I'd put him as Enforcer for now until we have a plan for him
19:46	SeneriGhost	as a gimmick
19:46	JoeRules	best at "brute" types
19:47	AbrasiveObelisk	Enforcer works
19:47	AbrasiveObelisk	JR, whats the difference between Best Match and Best Written Match?
19:47	SeneriGhost	Worst of WWF was easy
19:47	AbrasiveObelisk	Which was?
19:47	AbrasiveObelisk	Edge
19:47	SeneriGhost	Edge
19:48	AbrasiveObelisk	I realized right as I said that
19:48	SeneriGhost	this is literally what I wrote for that: Edge, Edge, EDGE
19:48	AbrasiveObelisk	I really want to nominate WW3 as both Best Match and Worst Match
19:48	AbrasiveObelisk	Because it put over Steiner and Benoit great
19:49	JoeRules	Bodyguard, Demon Hunter, Ex-Con, Gatekeeper, Hired Gun, Impact Player, Network Rep, Outsider, Trailer Trash are all gimmicks that suit him rather well
19:49	AbrasiveObelisk	But Flair winning was a terrible ending and imo made all of Anderson/Sting pointless
19:49	SeneriGhost	I felt that, due to the match's structure, it was a poor quality writ-up
19:49	SeneriGhost	Network Rep sounds like a fun one
19:49	AbrasiveObelisk	yeah
19:49	SeneriGhost	we can have him as the moral guardian type, opposing the H.O.E.S. on behalf of the sponsors
19:50	AbrasiveObelisk	the Network sends him to censor HOES
19:50	JoeRules	AO, it's Best Written Match/Most Important Angle/Best Single Segment - no "best match"
19:50	AbrasiveObelisk	oh
19:50	SeneriGhost	I'm trying to think what I didn't like from WCW this year
19:51	AbrasiveObelisk	Kid Rock
19:51	SeneriGhost	yeah, probably that
19:51	SeneriGhost	Like seriously, if Edge doesn't win Worst of WWF I will be confused
19:52	AbrasiveObelisk	What did we do that can possibly be worse
19:52	SeneriGhost	Maivia, I guess
19:52	SeneriGhost	but we eventually got him back
19:52	AbrasiveObelisk	Yeah
19:52	AbrasiveObelisk	Filling our roster with no-namers
19:52	SeneriGhost	Flawless Diamonds is probably the best angle of the year, to me.
19:53	AbrasiveObelisk	I loved Sting/Anderson
19:53	SeneriGhost	like between the two, because it's pretty well executed
19:53	AbrasiveObelisk	between the two?
19:53	SeneriGhost	between the two companies
19:53	AbrasiveObelisk	oh
19:53	SeneriGhost	That said, I am excited about some of our angles for the next few months
19:54	AbrasiveObelisk	What specifically?
19:54	SeneriGhost	Well the first angle I specifically outlined starts after WM; HBK/Mick
19:54	AbrasiveObelisk	I like that
19:55	SeneriGhost	Goldust with the Title has so many fun possibilities
19:55	AbrasiveObelisk	SHIELD/ECW
19:55	SeneriGhost	yeah
19:55	JoeRules	OK, so did you guys want to do Network Rep for Traylor?
19:55	AbrasiveObelisk	yeah
19:55	SeneriGhost	yeah
19:55	JoeRules	I really think you should still call him Big Bossman, or at least refer to that, since he's working for The Man now
19:56	AbrasiveObelisk	The Big Bossman
19:56	AbrasiveObelisk	yeah
19:56	AbrasiveObelisk	let's change his name
19:58	JoeRules	OK - Violent J wants unscripted for the Tent
19:58	JoeRules	oh, I see you already made it unscripted, nm
20:01	JoeRules	http://imgur.com/a/JomRZ
20:01	JoeRules	just gimme the greenlight
20:01	AbrasiveObelisk	go
20:02	SeneriGhost	I like that Michaels performance leaving things to be desired in the final segment of UK fits our storyline.
20:03	AbrasiveObelisk	how?
20:03	SeneriGhost	Michaels is phoning it in in story, and phoned it in in the PPV
20:03	SeneriGhost	It's not a good thing, but it fits the story
20:03	AbrasiveObelisk	that makes sense
20:06	AbrasiveObelisk	A segment!
20:08	SeneriGhost	Not a B- Raw!
20:09	JoeRules	RAW up to 3.63
20:09	AbrasiveObelisk	go us
20:09	AbrasiveObelisk	wow
20:11	AbrasiveObelisk	what is JR's gimmick?
20:11	SeneriGhost	I find that Bossman and Goldust having excellent chemistry is hilarious
20:11	SeneriGhost	considering the character we're building for Bossman
20:12	AbrasiveObelisk	Backlund and Funk being two crazy old mean is good
20:15	AbrasiveObelisk	what is JR's gimmick?
20:15	SeneriGhost	AbrasiveObelisk: I put a question int he bookign tab for that
20:15	AbrasiveObelisk	and do we keep DiBiase?
20:16	AbrasiveObelisk	Senerio I saw after I posted
20:16	SeneriGhost	ok
20:16	JoeRules	iren:
20:16	JoeRules	drug test results
20:16	AbrasiveObelisk	noooo
20:16	JoeRules	Sunny, hard drug
20:16	JoeRules	s
20:17	JoeRules	Noble, steroids, 2nd offense (riot act last time)
20:17	AbrasiveObelisk	and?
20:17	JoeRules	just those 2
20:17	SeneriGhost	Riot act for Sunny, Fine for Noble, AbrasiveObelisk?
20:17	AbrasiveObelisk	yep
20:18	AbrasiveObelisk	we need neither
20:19	JoeRules	Noble: "It'll not happen again."
20:19	JoeRules	Same response from Sunny.
20:19	AbrasiveObelisk	good
20:20	SeneriGhost	did we put in to send the mystery box his contract
20:20	SeneriGhost	I forget
20:21	SeneriGhost	because we were unanimous there. That doesn't happen often
20:21	SeneriGhost	or maybe it does. I'm sick right now so I'm not thinking right
20:23	AbrasiveObelisk	depends

		Topic set by JoeRules on Thu Jul 31 2014 20:23:28 GMT-0400 (EDT)
20:23	JoeRules	mystery box contract was sent, we'll see when whoever shows up.
20:27		*** Senerio joined #warzone
20:27		*** SeneriGhost quit (Ping timeout: 184 seconds)
20:27	JoeRules	iren:
20:27	AbrasiveObelisk	yes
20:27	JoeRules	Scott Hall's deal is up for renegotiation.
20:28	JoeRules	He says you'll pay through the teeth to get him, but he's willing to come back.
20:28	AbrasiveObelisk	Honestly, no thanks
20:29	AbrasiveObelisk	I'll put it up on a poll, but Hall's not worth it
20:29	AbrasiveObelisk	what does he do well
20:30	JoeRules	Suicida, Porteau, and Horshu's deals are all confirmed
20:30	JoeRules	as is Kane's
20:31	JoeRules	A popular in the US, very good brawler, excellent performance and physical skills, excellent entertainment skills, elite heel/cool/cocky gimmick work
20:31	JoeRules	38 y/o
20:54	JoeRules	DiBiase re-signed with you guys.
20:54	Senerio	woop!
20:54	AbrasiveObelisk	YES
20:55	AbrasiveObelisk	Did WCW come close to our offer or try at all?
20:56	JoeRules	They didn't make an offer.
20:56	Senerio	welp
20:56	AbrasiveObelisk	okay\
20:56	Kliff	Wow, you'd think they'd try to snipe him up.
20:56	AbrasiveObelisk	giving him Creative Control just makes life easier
20:57	AbrasiveObelisk	why would WCW need DiBiase?
20:57	Kliff	To spite us.
20:57	AbrasiveObelisk	well, yeah
20:57	Senerio	Also because he's a solid manager
20:57	Senerio	in general
20:57	AbrasiveObelisk	but they have Heenan
20:58	AbrasiveObelisk	who currently has no one
20:58	AbrasiveObelisk	important
20:58	Kliff	Man, now I'm wondering when Heyman enters the sim.
20:58	AbrasiveObelisk	never, since ECW is alive?
20:58	Senerio	He owns ECW
20:58	Kliff	Ah, yeah.
20:59	AbrasiveObelisk	surprised he hasn't shown up in ECW yet
21:00	AbrasiveObelisk	Kliff, opinions on signing Scott Hall?
21:00	Senerio	like he's a solid choice to sign, but we're trying to clean up our locker room
21:01	Senerio	he is in the top 25 Wrestlers
21:01	Senerio	(#16)
21:01	AbrasiveObelisk	and the fact that he's in a monster contract with WCW
21:01	AbrasiveObelisk	with Wage Matching and all
21:01	Senerio	yeah
21:02	AbrasiveObelisk	but he's a main-event heel
21:02	Kliff	Yeah. He looks real nice, I'm actually a little concerned with locker room and bottom line at the moment. Have we had any indications on what chemistry he's got with some of our top guys, or will we have to find that out once we sign him?
21:02	Senerio	the latter
21:02	AbrasiveObelisk	when we sign
21:03	AbrasiveObelisk	That's why we have random dark matches
21:03	Kliff	True, yeah.
21:03	AbrasiveObelisk	since testing is the only way to find out
21:03	Senerio	Like Bossman and Goldust have excellent Tag Chemistry
21:03	AbrasiveObelisk	for some reason
21:03	Senerio	which is funny becasue Goldust is Goldust and we're making Bossman a Moral Panic character
21:04	AbrasiveObelisk	the networks like movies, Goldust is movies
21:04	Kliff	Yeah, so normally I'd snap him up in a heartbeat but he'll be costing us a pretty penny to re-sign with us, right?
21:04	AbrasiveObelisk	Pretty much
21:05	AbrasiveObelisk	My main concern is what do we do with him?
21:05	AbrasiveObelisk	Goldust is our top heel
21:05	AbrasiveObelisk	With TMPT around there
21:05	AbrasiveObelisk	Vader as well
21:05	Senerio	Vader t-yeah
21:05	AbrasiveObelisk	Bulldog has no storyline, which is a shame
21:06	Senerio	yeah
21:06	AbrasiveObelisk	And Michaels and Jericho are turning
21:06	Kliff	I'm still kicking it around in my head to turn Goldust at some point, but yeah, we have some real high-profile heels and I'm not sure we need yet another one at the moment when we don't know what chemistry he's got with our stable.
21:06	AbrasiveObelisk	Kliff, Goldust is probably turning in the fall
21:07	AbrasiveObelisk	But by that time Austin will be taking his spot
21:07	Senerio	and then by the next year, HHH will have taken over for Austin
21:08	Kliff	With Austin having gone Face himself, I assume.
21:08	Senerio	yeah
21:08	AbrasiveObelisk	yep
21:08	Kliff	Yeah, I don't think we've got the room for Hall at the moment.
21:08	AbrasiveObelisk	Since Austin is a great face
21:08	Senerio	triple threat between Austin/Pillman/HHH at Mania 15
21:08	AbrasiveObelisk	I would love Hall in a year though
21:08	Senerio	Shame
21:09	AbrasiveObelisk	Oh and we'll turn Henry by Mania 15
21:09	Senerio	we also have a Japanese Midcarder coming in
21:09	AbrasiveObelisk	yeah
21:10	Kliff	Yeah, if he comes up for renegotiation in another year, I can take a look at the situation again, for now, as good as he is, we'd have to squeeze him in real tight.
21:10	Senerio	Depending on what happens between now and mania, we could have him join up with the shield in place of Ahmed for the outsiders gimmick.
21:11	AbrasiveObelisk	Hall?
21:11	Senerio	Japanese guy
21:11	AbrasiveObelisk	Depends on who it is
21:11	Senerio	yeah
21:11	Senerio	and his chemistry with Stevie Ray
21:12	AbrasiveObelisk	unless Stevie and ? are chasing the titles, it won't matter
21:12	Senerio	yeah but that's why we're keeping Ahmed in there, for his tag chemistry with Stevie
21:12	AbrasiveObelisk	right
21:12	AbrasiveObelisk	but I don't think it's that important
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> unless Stevie and ? are chasing the titles, it won't matter
21:27	Senerio	<Senerio> yeah but that's why we're keeping Ahmed in there, for his tag chemistry with Stevie
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> right
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> but I don't think it's that important
21:27	Senerio	<Senerio> I've been trying to write up UK's main event but I can't think of anything really to do
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> same
21:27	Senerio	<Senerio> I can't think of anything to do outside of the ending spot
21:27	Senerio	<Senerio> (Bret gets HBK in for a hot tag, but Vader ducks under the SCM at the end of it and Vader Bombs him for the 3)
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> HBK doesn't like the idea of tagging Bret in
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> but hits a big comeback when he has to
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> While Vader and Bulldog work very well together
21:27	Senerio	<Senerio> yeah for the first half, HBK takes on the two of them on his own. Bret tags himself in, and does his moves, and is overwhelmed until the hot tag
21:27	Senerio	<JoeRules> I really like the Bossman gimmick idea
21:27	Senerio	<AbrasiveObelisk> it's true
21:27	Senerio	<JoeRules> Make him the new Head of Programming at HBO, who REALLY doesn't like wrestling
21:27	Senerio	<JoeRules> He wants to watch movies like <insert here>, and programs like Arli$$!
