I was looking over the roster, and took into account the number of characters we'll have with some returning faces, and was wondering if we should put SNW on a waiting list? Obviously, people who have been in SNW before and wanted to come back could come back. This is more for new sign ups.

Yes but maybe ask that someone who has the max on wrestlers put a wrestler on the SNW shelf to help get a newbie in.
That way, the newbie can come in and if they turn out to be a flake, the character who stepped aside could come back.
That make sense?

that could be tricky, to be honest perhaps if the roster gets too big you could split it into two rosters one for Onslaught one for guys night out, that way your only worrying about certain characters for certain shows and it should give people a weeks rest if they need it.

I've thought about that, but if I go that route, I don't want to make the shows look like different promotions like what WWE has attempted to do with their shows. Maybe like an unofficial roster split, much like how WWE(back in the WWF days) would split up their rosters when they went on the road for house shows. The wrestlers that were part of the A Card(all the top level guys) would wrestle in one city, wrestlers on the B Card would wrestle in another city, and so forth. So maybe something like we designate a group of wrestlers for each show, but they all still fight for the titles in SNW, and they can fight whoever on the roster. Another idea I've bounced around is something like a weekly B show along the lines of how WWE used to showcase all their wrestlers against jobbers on shows such as Superstars, Wrestling Challenge, Velocity, etc. Whoever doesn't get booked for one of the main shows that particular week gets booked on the B show, and all the matches(even the feature match) would be written in summarized results. I'd still require RPs, but more for attendance. It could give people who aren't competing a chance to brush up on their RP skills. |

i think we could use a combination of ideas, perhaps. for example, we could have the "B" Show. that could be used for wrestlers who we have nothing for, at the moment. if you don't get showcased on the main show, on a particular week, you'll still get on the "B" show against a jobber. maybe new or returning wrestlers could debut/redebut on that show.
also, if you get a person like myself with multiple characters & you don't have something for one of those characters to do, ask that one of those characters be put on the shelf for awhile. that way, a new person could debut a character without hurting the roster. the guy that's on the shelf could have minor roles, on occassion, much like how WWE treats some of it's roster (jobber matches & such).
maybe have a waiting list, if too many people are coming in at once.
i remember a fed, several years ago, that had to require that new members join up in their developmental fed, before participating in the main fed. too many new members would join, in any given week. they had to sort out which people they could count on, what they're talent levels were & try to understand what their charcter was like. when they had room, they'd move someone up to the main roster (much like WWE).

I liked a lot of those idea JD but the problem with your developement camp fed would be the need for writers and if your trying to test out new talent and give them a feel for what the full fed is like you would have to have the full written results well at least for the main event of the camp.
I love the idea and it would be fun to see if Matt could incorporate it but you would need a second booking team to run it.

With multiple characters in mind like, i could even see cycling your own characters in and out. Like for me I'd have the Williams Bros as my primary 2 for a few months, then Nick Scott & Sean O'Brien, and vice versa. That way your characters don't get stale to you or to the writers. |

If we do decide to do a B show, or anything of the such it would take time solely because rushing into it would just make things worse. I agree we need a way to expose more guys, and I fully support capping our roster and doing something similar to what PCW does. This is very much like health care, we need to address it but it's going to take time and constructive thought for it to be handled in an efficient and practical way.

I love the idea and it would be fun to see if Matt could incorporate it but you would need a second booking team to run it. true enough. if anything, i want to keep the idea shelved, for the moment. it could be considered when SNW has more writers available. i could see doing the same with my own characters. if it's felt that Mauler is the only one that has any real storyline potential, he could be used for awhile. the rest of the Destruction Crew could be shelved, expcept if needed for a minor role, like helping to get a new wrestler debuted. |

No offense but I couldn't see a split roster with their being just a few writers. If you had six then yeah because you could rotate who writes what.
As for cycling, that always is good but you have to also realize the more people on the roster, the harder it will be to rotate. You may have someone getting booked every third week instead of every other week.

What i meant by cycling them would be more of Wrestler A, X amount of time on the roster while Wrestler B isn't on the roster. then switch. Not to switch them every other show, but for some substantial amount of time. |

You may have someone getting booked every third week instead of every other week. If you split the roster to the shows it wouldn't change the amount of writers needed as at the moment we already have two shows running, what I mean't was for the champions to be on both shows invovled whilst for a couple of weeks one half of the roster is on one show and the other half on the other and say every 2 months you swap the roster and shows round so the roster on gno would then be on onslaught. |

i have a thought. when it comes to segments, maybe the handlers could/should be more involved in the writing. in certain circumstances, whomever's involved in a segment could be responsible for writing it. it could be on a voluntary basis, if you choose, or it could be somewhat mandated (depending on what you need).
this way, the writers could focus mostly on doing the matches.

most segment pieces on shows are normally asked for only if we need something specific to take place do the writers write it. though if you want a show segment just write on and it ask if it's okay for the show, matt wont turn you down unless theirs a gooood reason.
