Big Idea, Ladies & Gents

Okay, I talked it over with Jay. It doesn't seem like he is opposed to the idea. Of course he has his skeptics, as I am sure some of you will as well. I myself have some small ones, but I feel that if done properly, this can become something big for Eternity Wrestling, but also Turbo Charged Wrestling (which as some of you know, is the fed I run).

So, here it is:

What we would do is sort of a storied "rival promotion". I started my e-fed as an Indy scene in the Columbus area, but have since "expanded" to regional (now in Ohio and surrounding states). The great thing about this is I have my shows on Tuesdays on Fox, but not in the New England markets. So once we got going, in storyline, we could battle for a timeslot on the Fox markets and begin our rivalry that way. Beyond the beginning, we really wouldn't make too much mention of the other promotion in our results. It will just be kind of Jay does his thing, I do my thing, as far as the shows.

How this would work is, in reality, we are actually working together. I would think maybe I could put a link to here on my forums, and Jay could do so here as well. Any new members we get, we could tell them about this. If we go through with it, I am going to tell my people about it as well. Essentially, we share members (and the link on our forums to the other would help make it smooth to keep track of two forums). In the promotions, each handler would of course need to have separate characters.

I can set-up a ratings system with feedback/reviews, which would determine our "numbers" in comparison. This would just be for fun to kind of see which one is doing better. If this seems a bit too competitive, then we can nix the idea. I understand it could look bad to have one in theory over the other. Just an idea for fun, though.

So yeah, to highlight what goes down, most members would be active on both forums, with separate characters. Right now, since EW is trying to get off the ground, this would be very beneficial to help, as I can probably get a couple of my members to head over here soon (as a few seem to enjoy angle fedding).

This is all pretty much a way to help both feds out and get the ball rolling here. I would also have a character and be active over here as well, in the event this went down (or something related to it). Please let me know what you think!

So it's basically an affiliation that will actually get mentioned in character?

I think i get the idea, and I'm pretty much on board. The first thing I thought while reading that was if it'd get repetitive with the competition part, but then you mentioned both feds just doing their own thing for the most part so It's all good.

One thing though, and maybe you just worded it wrong, but about 'most members' beign active on both forums might cause as issue. For one, not everybody here is going to want to join another fed. The most you could expect is a few to do so at their leisure. Beyond that I have no objections.

Not entirely against it, but I feel it might be pointless. It would be much easier if it was on the same forum with two different shows something like that. I feel like its going to not workout the way you would want. And I for one don't really want to rely on someone else for a big storyline idea or what not between an entirely different forum. Feels like a pain in the butt. :(

Yeah, and the same thing with mine. Not everyone will probably want to come here either. So yeah, that should probably say "some". But yeah, it is pretty much an affiliation, but could be worked out as a storyline. I would actually think it would be better to have one forum as well, but the only way that would be is if it were under one promotion or a forum was renamed t suit two different names. I'd love to do a brand extension, but would need a little help if that were done.

I am in the same boat too, I wouldn't want to rely on someone else for too much. That's why with the idea, we would be on our own paths show wise, but really try working together to help each other out.

It Sounds like an interesting idea. It could help create some friendly competition between the two sides.
