All New & Improved Feud Request [July 09]

I know its summer and well traditionally things can be a bit unpredictable! Combine the holiday timetables of every individual and indeed their respective locations on the map (FHT/ELITE boosts Americans, Aussies, Brits, N. Irish & Irish) it can be a bit unpredictable!

But still there seems to be people logging on and well I think we are quite healthy as long as shows open/close on time! Right now I am a believer in keeping things fresh - I dont think long term feuds like in the old days work as well. Traditionally if you plan to far in advance and something/someone goes wrong - it leaves u with nothing!

But definitely feuding for a few weeks - 3/4 weeks and concluding it is the way to go! So well here we could try and pair people up! Speak up in here and maybe we'll have something for you?!?! Remember - its good to talk!!!

ELITE Champ - Sick Nick
FHT Champ - Soul Reaper

ELITE Global - Max Venom
FHT Hardcore - Crusher Casey

FHT/ELITE Tag - Keith/Lbm

Dark Angel
Ace Andrews
Ash Strife
NIN Horror
Blade
Akuma Ninja
Trey Spruance
The Ninjateers

(Am I missing anyone???)

Looking at that I think you can see our roster shrunk in recent weeks but is still very solid in terms of who we have - some good writers there. One thing - maybe the amount of belts dilutes things!

There has been talk recently of "resting" the tag belts! Its always been discussed - the issue of unifying the world titles! Its always a hot topic!

But yeah I know Keith/Lbm are right now free in terms of a feud?!?

Ace isn't wrestling right now

But I am looking for someone for Lev to go against at the PPV. Maybe someone Ace has a problem with, so Lev gets sent at them in an attack dog type role.

Good luck on finding someone who wants 2 work with Elevator in a feud!!! Honestly man - Ace is a great charatcer when you get behind him... I just dont understand why this need to play injured and try and establish Leviator instead. I'd rather u put the effort into Ace!!!

[Ace Andrews]

I'm settling in and establishing Ace as an owner, which is something I've been planning for Ace since February. Ace WILL be back, its just a matter of time. And while he isn't wrestling, he's still getting time to develop as a character, which I think is more important then developing him as a wrestler.

And while Ace is out, I still get to have a wrestling char in Lev, who I've had as an efed char longer then Ace.

I say ditch the tag belts and merge the World Titles up. There's never been a point all five belts have felt active at the same time. The tag belts are notoriously bad, but I honestly can't blame the champions for that, there's just no interest in a division that takes double the amount of participants and takes people away from the top belts.

As for the World Titles, yes, there's always been the dual legacies of both places, but I think now is the time to actually start building on the legacy of the merged promotion. Plus two belts have meant less competitive matches (TPC/NIN Horror would be my example) and it ultimately makes both belts look less valuable. It'll be far better if there's one top guy on the promotion at one time, the man to beat, and the introduction of a new top tier belt here might coax some of the older veterans who have done it all before into stepping up again.

I think having a World Title that represents both places then two belts to represent each promotion works nicely. And if needs be, when we get our post-summer boost again, we can bring in another belt, or bring one back or whatever.

And I'd say my current feud plans are fairly obvious.

This debate has raged on and on for a long time!!! Heres where I stand on it at this current time! I always saw the two world champions as being a great idea. However I never think barrin Ninja/TPC the two title belts ever really competed with one another!

There should have always been dissension between the 2 champs! Always should have been times like when the brand extension in WWE first happened - that the 2 champs crossed paths! That has never really happened!

Personally... speaking on behalf of my little Lbm character that I do - I was FHT Undisputed Champion last in November 2004! Thats nearly five years since I had that belt! I don't think it should be done in terms of passing it round to have your turn - but I do think for the work I put in in 2009 - I should have a credible shot! Similarly the ELITE Heavyweight Championship I held for 30mins in 2005 (beating Reaper losing to Killer in Ultimate ELITE).

So my character definitely wants a go at each of them belts again! HOWEVER speaking not personally or selfishly ... I think a unified FHT/ELITE UNIFIED CHAMPION would be a mega big deal! Our roster has dwindled. The titles - well there has been more criticism this year for some of the matches/feuds. There has been so many dud moments for about a year now!

TPC winning both belts and then deciding to leave

Satan winning and deciding to leave

Darkness King winning/getting screwed out of the belt (I know there is debate to be had on this issue of him winnin the belt despite only being back but still it was a fresh/relatively unknown in that role).

Ace's big win being a total bust

Joker's phantom return

Trippy winning the ELITE title and leaving

NIN Horror winning and lowering his profile (though not to the extent of those before him granted)

...........

I have many times made reference to Ninja/Reaper - but it was definitely better than all the above!

"Sick" Nick in fairness to him... There is room for debate on that one too... he hadn't been around in a long time and came back and within a month of feuding with Keith (which I am sure both men can admit to not being as big as they would have hoped) he won the ELITE belt! So yeah I can see the point - that when men had been here consistently before that they did get somewhat pushed back!

BUT... I am of the opinion that despite that - Nick's win was shocking! He's 100% credible in that role and is right now very exciting in his role as champion! I think Nick feuding with anyone is interesting right now!!!

With Nick being on fire! With Reaper finally through with Ninja... I think again the merging/unification of the belts is something to put off for another day!

Yes I agree - there are too many belts but I do think the potential with the 2 world champions is still there and still to be exploited!

Tag belts... well I think OOC the belts are flawed in times of depleted roster! A tag match theoritically takes up four active posters in one match - singlely four posters could be involved in 2 matches/feuds!

Although I do think the tga belts are useful in that it can be great for feuds later on! Maybe they could be retired for a bit?!? Or maybe they could go on a team with less impact on shows... The Ninja students?!? The Lbm Academy students?!? The Herticis?!?

Then they could be used briefly and on houseshows and then when a team came forward - they are theres for the taking?!?!
