We're going to try something here and experiment a little. Effective immediately, the previous system of handling these three promotions thread-wise (and ONLY these three promotions for now) is over. No longer will *all* discussion of these promotions be limited to one thread for each. After I get this posted and set up, I will be locking the current all-inclusive threads for each, and we can start fresh:
What this means:
- Similar to Raw, Smackdown and Impact, all weekly episodes and all PPVs/specials from these three promotions can henceforward have their own thread as the time for each presents itself (weekly eps can have a thread started the day of the airing, PPVs can have one started after the end of the previous PPV airs and build for the next one starts - again, similar to how we do things in WWE and TNA)
- A major departure or signing by one of the three? Make a thread on it. A question about a story arc or angle? Make a thread about it. Want to talk the history of one particular belt in NJPW and who the best people wearing it were, or who never should have carried it? Make a thread.
What this does NOT mean:
- Spamming/flooding the (W)rest section with topics on any of this. Don't make threads "just to make them" - we want this to be organic and constructive, and don't want to see the number of, say, NJPW threads to overwhelm the forum because someone got carried away. Have a reason to make the thread; it needs to stand on its own without being a "shouldn't this go in that other thread?" feel to it.
---------
Be aware that this is still experimental and we're testing some things with this, and as such, we will be changing and modifying our rules on this as time goes to best fit the needs of the board.
Thanks!
