Out of Character Chat v8

First topic message reminder :

Back with a boom guys.

6CW....It is time to play!.

Oh, and Deep Heat is similar to defeat.

For Joshua I wanted a kids name but quite unique. This is a reason why kids shorten their names to be trendier. Joshua is quite an old sounding name and it is quite spooky when you think what the character looks like.

I know I am not currently part of the fed, but if either of JJ or Paul want any segments written up. I would be more than happy to help out. Stuck in my hotel room at the moment as it is throwing it down in the Netherlands. The joys.

We're ok for segments cheers Steve, it's matches we're struggling with this week but we'll get it sorted

I was never good with the matches Paul, unless you have a squash. Which lets face it, this isn't the WWE so we won't have any of those

No we will be fine Steve - Just means I'm writing a match

Promo for Harris up. I tried something a bit different and have no idea if it worked or not. Would be lovely to hear thoughts, it took me a while to write that, though it probably doesn't look that way!

Really great promo, fantastic bit of storytelling

Morning folks, how can it possibly be Monday morning already!!!! A long week ahead but on the plus side Wednesday is show day!

Morning all - Haven't forgotten about the Power 5 just been a little snowed under - Will get something up today

Three days till show day, lets get thise promos in, I'll have an Altair one up today Gazzy if you want me to set up a reply for Phillips?

Morning people, I will only be on sparingly today as snowed under myself. Just wanted to say hi and to say there have been some really good promos so far and I have enjoyed reading all of them.

Paul....all being well....you will get a PM tonight. Usual drill if you want to contact me beforehand.

I can't wait for this day to be over, hopefully along with my qualification! So close but finding it really hard to motivate myself...I just want next weekend already!

Four days off, Extreme Rules (if I stay up that is) and hopefully the first weekend in over a year where I won't have to worry about 'home work'! Will be nice to turn my attention to projects I actually want to do!

Power 5

Thanks for everybodys votes. A little later I will give the full breakdown of votes, I attributed 5 points for a vote of number one and then 4,3,2 etc

No problem Twist - Cheers for your help, much appreciated

Just finishing off segments and then will turn my hand to this match although i'm thinking, lock up, roll up, 1,2,3

If it's mine, you better not......I got your match remember!

Ha Ha - You'll have to wait and see

Use Jeff Hardy v Sting and Victory Road as reference

I very rarely watch wrestling so have no real recent reference points

Skip to near the end haha

Backstory is that Hardy was off his head on drugs and Sting decided to just end the match out of anger.

That's not the back story, it's the whole story!

Promo up. Some great promos up this week, really enjoyed reading through them.

P.S. I'm a Michael Hathaway guy

If you were in the crowd during an Adamson promo how could you stop yourelf from throwing something at him or just running down to the ring and punching him in the face - Great job in getting across just what an arrogant SOB he really is

He's a misunderstood soul

Question on TalkSport right now. Did Fernando Torres bottle scoring against Liverpool by passing to Willian?

I definitely think he was worried he would miss and the abuse of the crowd.

I think in that situation he had to pass, one v one he may have scored, but two v one he had to wait for the keeper and square it. Regardless of the ground you're playing on. The team scoring was more important than Torres scoring.

If this was any other striker we wouldn't be having this conversation. Poor Torres.

Where did it all go so wrong?

That quiet at work I managed to write and post a G.A.Y.S promo. If there were more people here I wouldn't have risked typing up something so embarrassing if anyone caught me

The people in IT will have a blast tomorrow Marky

If G.A.Y.S go on to win the tag team titles I'll design them custom ones!
Talking about titles, my qualification should be over in the next day or two and I'll be free to waste more time on here...my goal is to have fully designed title belts for N.o.G!

Take it you are quite the online artist Viper?

(I have no idea what the official terminology is)

I studied graphic design in college but it's just a bit of a hobby now, I did all of the character signatures for 6CW, the PPV posters and maintain the main site.

Actually Paul and JJ, we should start discussing the N.o.G poster as soon as you guys can as I want to top the raining D.O.R poster and think it might take a lot of work.

You open for suggestions? Moonlit night with it shining down on different shadowy characters. With Jones staring down from the sky. (I'm actually thinking of the opening credits of streets of rage 2 here lol)

I wouldnt mind this one being more aspirational. The others have been quite gothic, but with this being our Mania I've always liked how Mania is about the glory, the dream, the reward.

Morning All

One more day to go and its show time  

Really looking forward to this one, based on how the ME pans out this show should start to tell us NoG will start to look like.

Is the forth comign NoG the first since the rebirth?

QOTD:

What makes a good efed character? Is it all about the back story and promoing in that style or should your character be ever evolving based who they feud with?

Morning

Yes - Dubs and I made a deliberate decision not to have a NoG in the first year so that essentially we had an 18 month build to the event

good question of the day, I think it takes a lot to make a really good efed character, the back story, the name, the move set, actually promoting are really important to a character, but theres also things like giving your character weaknesses and flaws instead of just creating a superman. also having an individual style and not trying to copy others, sure take advice and tips from others, but develop the character as an individual and you cant really go far wrong, just remember you cant be a champion all the time, and if you aren't it doesn't mean your doing anything wrong.

Everybody comes up with a character that just stinks at somepoint, but you get to know pretty soon when you start promoting if its going to be one you will enjoy

05 Days, 12 Hours - The Countdown Begins...

Why what's happening monday

Good question. As Steel mentions, the whole backstory is important. I think some of the hardest characters to promo are those that seem like normal average people you would meet in the street - takes a lot of skill to promo and stand out from the rest. All my characters have some kind of uniqueness that sets them apart, so that you should be able to read a promo and know exactly who the character is without looking beforehand. It may be due to when I was growing up, all my favourite wrestlers were larger than life characters themselves or caricatures of normal every day people (Undertaker, Big Boss Man, Mountie etc etc). You don't get that nowadays in wrestling, but as an e-fedder I certainly enjoy reading promos from those characters that are "off the wall".

Evolution of a character is important. What you start with should not always be what you finish with (unless you are an unreal promo-er and able to keep the gimmick fresh while still saying the same things). I know Joshua will evolve, but it might not be in the way I plan. I might be involved in a feud with a certain character that will enable me to explore previously not thought of areas of Joshua. That's the beauty with e-fedding.....if anything we all feed off each other. I am not saying just B&F's but structuring our promos to tailor who we are up against. Yes, you need to retain your sense of identity but I wouldn't promo in the same way to say Enforcer than the way I choose for Plague. Subtle differences recognise who you are up against and how you can use their weak points for a verbal attack. Which essentially is what promo-ing is all about. Anyone can sprout off about themselves.....the talent comes from being able to target an opponent and pick him apart, whilst still being very much in character.

Enigma's joining is he? There were so many new characters recently that I have no idea who is doing what. MtotheC is actually Liam Wood and Thunder was actually run by Hero?

If Enigma is joining then it is news to me (unless Paul is keeping a secret). I thought it was going to be an advert for a new season of WWA or something

Or Rachel Riley? Please let it be Rachel Riley!

Has someone been on a recruitment drive?

If it results in Rachel Riley joining up then happy days.

Kurt welcome to 6CW. You thinking about joining up or just here to chat in the community? Either way it is good to have another face around here.

I have no idea what is going on

I was just nosing through all the different sections and saw this under wrestling and thought I'd make an attempted witty comment!
