AMA Matches

Any non-wrestling trade? I can live without Brandi, but it make more sense to keep her with Cody. Have to look tbh since I already kinda planned my first five weeks. :obama

Will probably be a slow write up tbh - I don't want to halfass on what is still meant to special rather than a weekly Cheers!

The Ring of Honor shows would probably be the best example since it’s me booking them and the format I do is basically an ama format.

I'll maybe check that out after I'm done writing the match since at least this show will have fully written stuff. And even if the shows become more condensed, I have my "Meanwhile in Japan" series I am going to do with Cali whenever I am bored and have time I can get my match epics out of my system

AMA - Meanwhile in Japan: Wondering What it Takes to be Champion?

Meanwhile in Japan: Wondering What it Takes to be Champion? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The first in what I hope to be a bit of a mini-series of matches. Cali...

And honestly, I think it's worth the thought and experimentation.

Stuff like that is cool because it’s like the BTE videos for AEW.

And obviously the entrance and spot stuff Rose suggested can be added to what Juice did here.

I really want to be able to do two shows a month.

Give me an hour or so, as I have to find where they are at, and I may have a perfect balance as I wrote/ran my own e-fed and we had a pretty good/balance style and were able to do two shows a month.

You ready to debut your character btw?

Like that mixed with like bonus matches from other promotions. Genuinely the goal of this is, since Cali's character kind of has two lives she is living in, to show how she is taking what she learns in AMA and applies it to her other company in the ring. I have some segments which show her interaction with her friends/unit members overseas which shows some, but hey, segments are only half the story. The matches especially are like semi-canon, but not always the biggest. That match I did was just a match I wrote after getting inspiration for a character from watching Stardom, and imaging a match between her and Cali.

Spoiler

Of course, Cali loses because I'm not going to go make her OP as shit.

I can see it and imagine it.

And if by that you mean two smaller shows so each person usually gets a match on one show min and allows all titles to kind of rotate the main event spot on each show, can work. I think if we first have consistency of one show a month, then we can easily work towards two.

Nah not yet as I may make some changes. I'll let you know when though.

If we switch to recaps, it wouldn’t need to be booked any differently than we currently are. Just not full matches.

If we stick to full matches, at least one every 3 weeks, hopefully.

And absolutely on rotating the main event. I absolutely plan to make the men’s title, the women’s title and the tag team titles at the very least have equal importance.

Yeah, but also, in theory, two shows a month can give some room where some storylines can instead of having a match on a show have a segment to advance it, or if someone IRL is busy then they can miss one of the shows and not lose as much momentum.

Like we also have a fair amount of segments, and if we want to advance a storyline, two shows a month can give room to breathe where say rather than someone normally having like two segments, one segment can be on the next show and technically the same amount of stuff happens in a month time-frame, just spaced out.

Equal, until The Residence win the tag titles and Cali wins the women's title.

I think we got our wires crossed. I want to do two shows a month. I’m just saying they wouldn’t necessarily need to be smaller shows. With recaps we’d still get two a month.

And yes, some characters will some weeks get a segment and not a match IF that handler is already booked.

That or they tell me upfront they can’t promo. Absolutely.

Personally, I'm not huge on fully condensed matches. But for smaller/midcard matches 2-3 paragraphs seems good for a general story perspective. For bigger matches/matches on big shows, I highly like longer matches so they feel important.

Basically what I'm saying is, I'm fine with shorter matches but with a little meat. Lol

That’s what I’d personally not want. A fully written shorter match would be like a 3 minute match where as a recap would be the same amount of writing, but you’d imagine a full fledged out 10-15 minute match if that makes sense.
