So, I went through basically every post made in the creative forum over the last day lol, and I thought I’d suggest a system we could try to implement to keep things more organized (I’m kind of a nazi about being organized/having systems so bare with me haha). Basically, every month we’d start fresh using a format like this, if you guys like:
Drawing Board
Basically, this is just a huge thread where we plan out the monthly feuds/angles/etc. in. We’d start planning out the next angles during the prior PPV, so we’d start working on a direction for Riot Act the day Overdrive begins. This way, we can have all of our discussion in ones thread, and all the storylines laid out in an organized manner so that if, for example, Beedz has an emergency and can’t do results, one of us could just pop in this thread and make sure we have all the angles moving in the direction we agreed upon. Here’s an example:
Results Thread
I already saw something similar, but I thought I’d propose a concrete format. Basically, once a show is posted, we put the card up in the creative forum, along with writing assignments for the week (noted in the credits section) and marked areas and directions for segments. When you finish a match/segment, you post it in the thread, and whoever made the original post edits it into that post. This way, we have all results centralized. For example, using this card:
Match Card Thread
My final suggestion would be to start building the next match card directly after the prior one is up, so Adrenaline 1 is being planned while Overdrive occurs. Usually, we’ll have some sort of direction anyways, so it’s pretty easy to build a card. Obviously, sometimes match results will affect the card, but we can always do if person A wins: this match happens but if person B wins: this match happens. I’m not going to put an example because it’s pretty straightforward, but I think this would be a great way to reduce the amount of time the card comes out in (especially because it should be immediate).
So, what do ya’ think haha?

Drawing Board said:ACW v. PWA Feud
General Manager Angle
-Phoenix drops the contract. Brawl ensues to take control.
-McHenry has contract pre-signed
Etc. (Basically just write down the exact direction we’re going with the feud)
Jacqui v. Hellcat & Raiden Blaze v. Vych
-I honestly have no idea how these are coming together haha, but ideally, this would be what the thread is for. That way, we can all know the direction
World Heavyweight- Syn v. Drew
-Allow the natural feud to continue
International Division[/i]
International Title- Snow v. Trix
-Again, natural title feud.
Vance v. Venomous
-Last two survivors in the battle royale
-Mr. Gimmick Venomous vs. kayfabe hater Vance
Lower Card
Black v. Banks
-Black is a lost soul in a dark spot, and Banks is offering to save him from his sins. Kinda’ built in for us.
-The no contest ending leaves us room to play with it
TBD: Sanders, Multiplex, Kid Krazy, Solomon White
I’m not that familiar with the storylines just yet haha, but ideally, we’d be able to do something like this for each feud.
Syn v. Alexander
Adrenaline 1: X happens
Adrenaline 2: Y happens
Adrenaline 3: Z happens
PPV: ….
