I'm thinking my decision will be influenced by whoever wins Enigma/Mackenzie. In the meantime, I have a former World Champion to face, and I'll have hat match in in a couple of days.

Keep the votes coming folks. I'll cut 'em off at midnight tonight.
Until then, time to write entrances. Any more writers? We need three more, though I could be one of them if need be.

Sorry for your loss, Aaron, and glad things are okay now. Keep the votes coming folks. I'll cut 'em off at midnight tonight. Until then, time to write entrances. Any more writers? We need three more, though I could be one of them if need be. I can take Bull Ant vs. Jason Flynn.

So I wanted to make a separate post to write my thoughts on the title situation, and here they are:
I think it makes sense for somebody to have to vacate the championship they have if they go after the world title. You can argue that the IF, FA, Tag Team are all equally important (which I think they are, and the only reason I don't include the TV title in that list is because it's been used as a stepping stone to all of the other titles--which is not to diminish anybody's winning streak while holding that title, mind you), but the big prize is the WHC, and after somebody wins that then IMHO they should give up the championship they already have.
As precedent in real life, look at the case of the Ultimate Warrior vacating the Intercontinental Championship after winning the World Championship from Hulk Hogan.
Of course, it hasn't always played out that way in real life, and as an example of the opposite you can point to The Miz holding both the United States and half of the Tag Team titles. There may be other examples, but I can't think of them at the moment.
However, I think what was done with Warrior and Hogan was the right way to do it, and what was done with Miz was the wrong way.
Not only will it spread the titles out, it'll give people opportunities to appear on more shows. Right now we have Connor regularly pulling double duty. On the upcoming show, he'll face both Aaron and Antihero.
Considering how tough it is to beat Connor these days, I'm not about to argue that he doesn't deserve a chance to become #1 contender for the WHC. But if he didn't have the TV Title, then there would be room for one more person on the card, either defending said title or challenging for it.
Just my thoughts.

Two matches left: TV Title and Exhibition Match. If someone will take one, I will take the other.
Regardless, time to write finishes.

I think the Triple Champion was a novelty. If it happens again so soon, it doesn't seem as special or surprising. I'm not badmouthing Connor, heck, I'm glad he's getting shots. But collecting titles when there are others who could hold the belt doesn't sit right with me. Give other people a chance to shine.

To be fair, Connor doesn't book himself and he only has one vote.
That said, I have certain plans regarding the title scene but instead of just enacting them I'm going to book our way there so it looks organic from an in-story perspective. That said, as we gain new members and characters it should become easier to dilute title concentrations like recently.
I think now is as good a time as ever to bring up another idea I've had for some time. The main focus of all of my booking is on each title scene and reaching each next supercard. Ideally, everything moves like a well-oiled machine every month and a half. Part of this involves providing ample opportunity for people to gain title shots whether through having the right rank or through paying for them with points accrued from writing promos and matches.
I have had another idea for some time for another avenue though. If one looks back at my booking plan, the WH and IF champs will each have an exhibition match. In the event that someone actually defeats the champion in one of these exhibition matches, what if that opponent automatically becomes a #1 Contender for the following supercard?
The logic is that they just beat the champion; does that not mean they are a viable contender? However, I still am booking a #1 Contender regardless, which means one of two outcomes: 1) the championship match becomes a Triple Threat or 2) the #1 Contender Match, if it hasn't already been held, can be bumped to the next supercard. It can vary.
Thoughts?

All I know is I'm aiming to win the World championship again before the end of the year, ideally at or before GM6.

I just wanted to check with you btw BRB because I think my pm's are acting wonky again. You've received a few PM's from me over the past couple of days, right? I'm almost certain it's a bug in it showing them unopened but I just wanted to check since I've seen it happen before.
