In my personally superior opinion, the HS should really be just a bunch of one on one matches with brief summarized results. Give people the opportunity to prove their worth and run an angle or two. Then bump them to Loaded.

WFWF is now perhaps what WCW was in 2000...apart from the whole reality bit, the money...and Vince Russo. The fact is we have so many different peronalities here. We have people with ego's, people who think their better than most and some people who get a kick out of annoying people. Heck, nothing wrong with that. We can't stop people being themselves, its all natural. However, its because of this we have so many fights and arguments. Yeah, there's fights everywhere else but we're one of the less active boards on the forum (to be fair, compared to the WWE one and the like) so we're easier to track and now we have the Admins attention I think we're probably number one on the hitlist, to put it that way. And we can just put on the puppy dog eyes and go 'We'll behave Mr Jack...' because we tried that already, and failed pretty damn miserably. As for the booking side of things, I agree with the things said about the House Show. It is so damn easy to get onto the Main Show these days I feel anything I put into getting on it is ing thrown out of the window. When Yukio first had it, it was brilliant. Yeah, no-shows were as common as Friends re-runs but it was good because the emphais was based on you improving. Nowadays, none of that implies. Its got as many gimmick matches as the main show, its got as many titles as the main show, and you more or less have to only rp there twice to get onto the main show. The X-Breed title was good on its own, it helped people push themselves to roleplay better to get their hands on it (it did for me). Now anybody can get a title. I look at some of the regulars on Loaded who are still on the books at the House Show and hardly any of them should be there to me. There not going to get any better if they hit the big time, are they? They probably think what their doing is good enough... Thats my rant for today, next weeks topic: Trevor Murdochs sideburns

With the exception of the amount of wrestling content in an RP (obviously I won't agree with that since I'm one of the ones most guilty of what Rev talked about) I agree completely with what Rev said.
Sometimes the booking here reminds me of TNA completely. There's so many gimmicks and TWISTS~! that it's completely ridiculous. The S&S voting debacle is the biggest example. My match with Obo was a cage match but for some reason, a cage match wasn't enough. There had to be ANOTHER stipulation added on to it. There had to be a stipulation in the battle royal that wasn't even followed in the end. We had a there must be a winner match where there wasn't a winner. Calvin won the match to enter the rumble last, but didn't enter last. That's all classic TNA stuff right there. Please guys, just keep things simple. Nothing is gained by stupid random stips to matches.
There's the same problem on the house shows. Why do they need titles? Why are there are wacky stip matches and a new "tournament" every week? What's going on there is just as bad if not worse as the main show. The house shows should be there for one purpose: a place for newer RPs and those that need great improvement. As soon as they are ready they should be moved up. All of the bull **** that's been on HS forever isn't needed at all. Just book them in matches until they're ready.
And the double booking just needs to stop. 5 people are on both the current HS and Loaded. How is that fair to them? Either book them on one show or the other, but you can't expect guys to put out good, quality RPs when they're booked twice at the same time.
And no offense to Yukio or Mike, but this thread will probably be ignored like most complaints we've had. There's been more constructive criticism for owners than I've ever seen before, and yet it's never addressed at all.

Okay. First I actually agree with almost everything posted above, especially the statements from Rev and Thunder. Now, I'm going to be real honest here. Ever since I asumed the spot of co-owner, I have felt that I've never really had any real leverage over the booking of the WFWF, I was flowing with whatever anyone wanted. My reason for this is for two things, one I want to give the RP'ers what they want, second it was going to be easier on my part, because up until last Friday, the only computer I have had at my disposal was the one I use at work; almost every RP and show I've ever done was done there, and I never had the free time or space to really do what I wanted with the shows or my RP's, that's why almost everything I've done for the past year has come out almost half assed.
Now, as some like Obo and Calvin now know, I have a computer now, a laptop actually, making it easier for me to run the WFWF as co-owner, and this way I'll be easier to reach; I'll be online more.
The way the WFWF has come out, creatively, since I asumed the spot, is quite different from what I originally had in mind. I flet that all the major ppv's we've done were rushed, I would have rather spaced out the time span between SOTF and S&S, but I went with it because it was designated before I got the spot, and I just felt that it all had to see its original vision.
Now, as for whats going on like the problems on the GD board. I will admit that I should have done more, but its pretty much come to the point that it just happens so frequently, we can ban someone so many times, but they just seem to keep coming back. Next to that, whatever I was going to say was usually said by someone before me; either that or I felt that I would get hit by the admins if I spoke up, by fault of whoever started what.
As for the case of overated and underated, I agree with that, and I don't like it. It feels like almost everyone's doing it, especially among new and inexpirienced guys. And when it comes to judging of the results, I can honeslty say that I go with whoever wrote the better RP, and I think in the matches I have judged and wrote, that does show.
I'll admit that I haven't really been the best of an owner, but its a position I want to continue to remain as, and since I'm going to have more time online now, I can be more involved and I can do a lot more.
