Ok then it happens next show, sure The 'hard to create a contender' thing is only for regular contender matches really, but some of the better title and contender matches have come from waiting for wrestlers to be built up and get on a roll. I always use Phoenix VS Scorpion VS Snake and Guile VS Bowser as examples for how great those buildups can be, and those buildups happen when we give the title and contenders matches a little time to breathe. Rumbles and Chambers can't be overused (shown by how when Nappa as champ didn't have strong contenders we had a Rumble, then when Guile was champ we couldn't just have another Rumble) and all I'm saying is that when we've waited, or properly built to title matches it's been really great and it's something I personally would like to see more of - but in the end it's all up to TOH I loved that particular Chamber too but mostly because it was all buildup. We had the week of voting, which was amazing, then the episode where Octodad got left out after the tables match, then a Beat-the-Clock episode, then the next week a Contender's match at a mini-ppv with a stacked card. The only thing that was really missing was any plot addressing it (apart from a Kefka/Scorpion interview, and in the end missing plot didn't even matter as it was hype enough anyway) but that was buildup to a contenders match done really really well, and time allowed Guile to completely establish himself as a contender to be feared by the time the next contender's match came around |

More sizzle than a rasher of bacon.

For all the concerns about character performance and all that, let me just ask you guys to trust me. I'll figure things out. |

We've never seen you do anything with characters before, so I kinda have to give you the benefit of the doubt, I'm sure you'll do great. (Can you make it so Wario stops referring to himself in the third person, he doesn't do that.) |

Oh I trust you. I trust you will give everyone the Immortal DDT6 as their finisher, just like the good old days. And Eggman stands as the God King of VGCW as the #MasterPlan rolls on. |

Sounds Like A Bodacious Time

Toad v. Gief and to a lesser extent Zubaz v. Gief were both great matches and you can't deny that. Judging someone on performance in a 6-Man tag is dumb. Ganondorf and Dracula were kind of meh in the tag department but they're both respected guys who have a fair share of awesome solo matches. |

Toad vs. Gief was amazing, and Gief's performance since his heel turn has been hilarious and consistent with his new shitheel persona. I know that because he got plot your favorite guy _____ didn't but you could make that argument about anyone who got plot, and frankly VGCW needs strong heel plot because strong heels are in very short supply. The only guy who garners near as much vitriol these days is Guile. Man, what is it about Street Fighter. Their main antagonist is a scrappy babyface and the two hero characters are the most reviled characters in the company. |

NOPE.

As an actual wrestler Gief wasn't TOO bad last season. Not good or anything but passable. However, if I remember right I think he was booked in either plot or in a match for every single episode in Season 11 except for two. That's...not good. Like, at all. Even ignoring the debate on how if it can be considered spiteful booking towards people that aren't fans of the guy or if its just marks getting worked, booking a wrestler to appear on over 90% of a season's episodes is extreme. If it were a comprehensive season long plot then yeah okay I can understand that. But every time Gief got out of a feud he immediately jumped into another separate one where he was the star and he did the majority of the speaking. Edited by Prozach, Jun 24 2015, 02:54 PM.

True, but on the other hand, Gief hadn't had any real plot or matches for a good few seasons straight. I understand why, when he was getting the first bit of actual momentum in about a year, Bazza would have wanted to capitalise on it. Also, showing up in small, funny plot scenes once an episode was hardly punishment for us, he's funny as a heel. He DID have four straight episodes in a row of matches that one time, though. Basically, let him get back to settling in with his new heel role, showing up in more matches than he did in Season 8 and 9, and showing up less than he did in Season 10. A good middle ground. |
