IDEAS FOR THE FED!

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

So...what do you want to see in NAPW? Wrestler of week/month? a "Ross Report" type column? What woudl you like to see to make the fed more interesting and interactive?

Mind, it's pretty interesting and interactive now. But hey, if people are willing to step up, it's all good. =)

Wrestler of the week isn't really necessary if you do the rankings right. Plus isn't the champions basically the wrestlers doing the best? But the Ross Report idea could be good, you could basically summarize the challenges being thrown out there, also report on who is improving, and injuries. A match of the month/week could be a good idea too, reward the wrestlers who really rped tough against each other, that way tag teams aren't excluded like they would be in a wrestler of the month thing.

I would recommend a rundown of all the "NPC" characters in the fed in one easy to access location. People like interviewers, announcers, staff, ect, who can be used in promos. It'll at least be helpful to the new people.

hey what about images for the napw title belts?

[D!]

Oh, man, just as long as they're not blatant scans of existing title belts . . . that'd be pretty low-rent.

As it stands, nobody's ever given a good description of any NAPW belt. Hmmm . . .

dude...I'm Mr. Low Rent around here.

Personally, not a fan of images of title belts. Definitely not a fan of using images for pro wrestlers (especially of REAL wrestlers standing in. DOn't like Poser either.)

I think it's safe to say that I don't think we *need* images on the site, really. Anyways.

[nexusone]

Yeah Images aren't really needed. Seeings though we read the card and rp's anyway. It's all mental picturing. Not having them sorta sets NAPW apart.

But if the champ has a bad week in a non title match, but someone else has a storming week then the second guy would be the WOTW. Come on, the champ isn't always the best every week.

The rankings are great, but a WOTW and WOTM would reward the good and the consistent in some little way.

And a list of NPC characters wouldn't go a miss

On card spots and interviews, it enhances the reality of the wrestling show and makes handlers think more creatively for RPs

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

I really am wary of doing too many on-card spots. I don't want the entire MNF card to be match/interview/match/interview. The consideration is, of course, that this is an indie fed so most of our action is in-ring. I suggest NAPW has a screen set up to see some backstage stuff, and for people watching on local cable, but it's careful.

Realistically, I see room for one full in-ring interview/confrontation per show, and maybe a couple short backstage spots. Personally.

We're not sports entertainment! =)

While I understand that point of view, it makes things alot easier to work with in my opinion...

I mean for example

I'm going to kick your butt!

[Fans chair BLAH BLAH chugs a beer]

While this is crude, I mean how could this be an RP? Did the guy rent out an arena to do the shoot? Did he do it before the match was announced? I mean it just strikes me that these sort of things should be done on card.

But once again I understand the need for the structure based on being an indie fed... Just an idea

[Ryan Ro [NAPW]]

Of course, the way the fed is structured, you can do that same thing in front of a brick wall and televise it out. =)

D!, you've done a couple post/pre show RPs, what's your take on it?

[theminstrel]

I think it would also be a good idea to get a fed-wide angle going... I mean something that encompassed everyone whether it be a ridiculous stable(NWO), an over the top fedhead(McMahon), a mystery attacker or something... I dunno once again just an idea let me know what you think

[D!]

We'll know when we get to that point.

As it stands, I don't know if we can sustain something that large yet. More wrestlers, methinks.

2006. Something will come.
