I would like to add Seth and Bergman as a MOTY Candidate, as well as the World Heavyweight title match. I second those nominations. Both matches were well done and grats to Jono for the big win!

First, I'm already loving this "week off after supercard" thing.
Second, before I actually book Night of the Wrestling Zombies, I have two ideas to share with the FAWA at large.
1) Elimination Chamber of Horrors, anyone? Starting in 2013, I plan to discontinue WrestleCrApocalypse, and that means the end of the Thunderdome match. That said, it does reduce the number of major, multi-man cage match variants to one, thus making that remaining match look more special IMO. Furthermore, the last two years played host to two-man CoH matches, and I think that has to change, so why not start this year?
A dome full of horrific weapons. Six men enter, five men will be put in the chair. One man will be World Heavyweight Champion.
The Elimination Chamber of Horrors.
2) Masquerade Battle Royal winner can challenge for either the Freakin' Awesome or Interforums Title. I think that would serve to make the IF and FA titles look that little bit more important, provide even more card mobility, and make it less important than the Battle Bowl - it basically become Battle Bowl Lite (TM), trading prominence for a fun gimmick.

NOTWZ Theme Song * All That Remains "The Last Time" - 1 * Francis Holmes "The Trioxin Theme" - 1 * Evanescence "Nobody's Fool" - 1 * Dokken "Dream Warriors" - 1 * N'Sync "Bye Bye Bye" - 1 * Billy Talent "Viking Death March" - 1 (write-in) * Fantomas - "Spider Baby" - 1 (write-in)
Next vote for one of those wins since we have to get to the poll for the new theme song for NiteRaw since I believe we were going to change the theme song after every Gookermania

All right. Much as I love "The Last Time" I'm changing my vote to "Bye Bye Bye."

Oh, sure, give me five opponents in my first title defense. Do we even have five legit contenders?

Not yet. If made official, that would mean qualifying matches every week on Niteraw up to NotWZ. Let's see here...
Week 1 (next week) - TV Title Match - CoH Qualifying match - CoH Qualifying match - Freakin' Awesome Title #1 Contender Match
Week 2 - TV Title Match - CoH Qualifying match - Tag Team Title #1 Contender Match
Week 3 - TV Title Match - CoH Qualifying match - CoH Qualifying match - Interforums Title #1 Contender Match

Enemy is being used as MWC's entrance theme already.
And I write in "Crazy" by Mushroomhead. Because nothing says FAWA better than an industrial metal band covering Seal.

Also, a quick look at Point totals World Heavyweight Title Shot - 60pts--- Interforums or Freakin' Awesome Title Shot - 30ptsBoiler Room Brawler - 49 Tag Title Shot - 20pts from each memberAaron Enigma - 26 Connor MacKenzie - 25 Gus Richlen - 22 The Punisher - 20 TV Title Shot - 15ptsAaron Enigma - 26 Antihero - 15 Connor MacKenzie - 25 Gus Richlen - 22 Knailsic – 15 The Punisher - 20 No ShotsBull Ant Doc Sivana - 2 General of the Monkey Army - 1 Jackson Carter - 6 Jeremy Dupoe - 13 Jonathan Michaels - 7 Lodirulz - 2 Mister B Natural - 10 The Sam - 5 Seth Drakin - 1 Spiked Mohican - 5 Square - 5 Things should get more interesting now that I will reward points for Promo thread participation. There's also the rankings to take a look at. Also also, Connor Mackenzie won a #1 Contender Match of choice. Maybe I could nudge him straight to being #1 contender with a 50% discount (15pts for IF or FA; 30 for WH).

I'm picking Death Trend Setta so...
NiteRaw * Mushroomhead "Crazy" - 1 * Crossfade "Death Trend Setta" - 1

In that case, another vote for "Crazy" by Mushroomhead.

I have moved on from Nu-Metal, but I do still have a soft spot for Mushroomhead and Sevendust, and even a little Disturbed.
Also, to put the "Promo thread" rewards thing into perspective, the following people will earn 1pt at the end of this week for writing a single (substantial) promo:
Aaron Enigma Jeremy Dupoe Lodirulz Antihero
The following will earn 2pts for writing more than one substantial promo this week: Spiked Mohican Gus Richlen Seth Drakin JoNo
If that is kept up, by the end of the week of NotWZ, the first list of people will have earned 4pts, while the second will have earned 8pts - just for writing promos in the Promo thread. It only goes up when they write stuff for shows.

I also say no to the multi-person Chamber Of Horrors Match. It's really not fair for our current champ to be stuck in a situation where he has little chance of retaining. Plus, I already told you, BRB, via PM, which two members are wrapping up their feud at NOTWZ and thus would not be able to take part in that match.

I will wait for more opinions regarding the CoH match. Make your voices heard!
Until then, a few propositions:
I. Regarding draws, rare as they are: 1) What if a title match draw grants the challenger a rematch?
2) What if a #1 contender match draw grants both contestants the #1 contender spot and thus they both face the champ?
I these ideas for the sake of pragmatic booking for an e-fed of our size. I think they lend themselves to feud fodder rather easily, thus generating more interest for subsequent matches.
II. Regarding The TV Title It was originally predicated on the champ beating opponents in succession for higher titles. What if it's not about people beaten so much as weeks held? In this case, it makes vote results a little more flexible in interpretation.
If a Face wins the vote, they probably just pin or submit their opponent like always. If a Heel wins the vote, they could do the same, but they could (being a heel) also opt for a count out or a disqualification.
The point is that the champ wins the vote either way and thus retain the belt, which correlates to pinning, submitting, count out, and DQ all resulting in retaining the belt. Why should we act like there is a tangible difference in Championship matches? Furthermore, if a Heel champ chooses those more devious routes, it can give the Face more credibility instead of them getting definitively beaten.
In conclusion: what if the TV Title is based on weeks held instead of opponents beaten? This would come with the obvious catch that the champ must compete ever week too - a week with the belt in which the TV champ doesn't compete for it won't count. That would break this idea.
