What are your plans, going forward, with the casual and co-op straps? VGCW under Bazza had a fairly lax co-op schedule where we'd usually have one per episode, pick a pool of eight random teams, and whoever made it through a pseudo-ladder got a contendership shot. WVGCW has mixed it up with plot and multiple tags. I understand the limitations of the story creator make tags a bitch, and the tag matches thus far are pretty spectacular, but will it follow the same kinda pattern or are you thinking of anything interesting with it.

For the casual strap, I just want to know your thoughts on it. A lot of the recent casual title holders have laid claim to the main event shortly after ( & Knuckles), including the current casual champion . At the moment, it feels like a launching point for midcarders into the topcard. Do you plan on keeping it fairly serious, making it more of an Arino or Waluigi-like situation where goofy-ass match types happen, or something else? Right now I just fail to see the casual strap in a light other than 'those guys who aren't the top of the top can have something to fight for I guess', and it loses the prestige it had in Red and Segata's reigns. I know there's only so much you can do, but if there's any idea with it I'd love to hear it.

Personally I'm not so sure about this one myself but figured to see what you thought about it:

What about having a teaser promo about a future call up, like the way WWE does it, showing that 'this wrestler is coming soon' kinda of deal so people can get hype for it, or rather keep it as a surprise for when it does happen?

I don't really have much to add than what's already been said (More crossovers with the Female Division would be awesome!). If I had to say anything, I'd like to see Alternate Outfits used more often, they're always a fun surprise!

OBJECTION!
Eh honestly my only criticism so far is that some of the music played was too quiet, but that can be easily fixed

One thing I've loved in the first 2 episodes has been the plot that guys like Haggar and Goemon have gotten

Co-Op we're getting a plan developed. We definitely want to strength the Co-Op division this season. Nothing finalized yet, it's more of a wait-and-see there. Casual, I don't think we'll gimmick it. It's a bit tougher because if you use it as a launching point for main eventers, are you throwing a bunch of people into the main event after losing the belt, thus over-saturating the main event? That said, I do want the belt to mean something, so it'll get proper build. Not too huge of a fan of going straight from contender to title match without anything in-between. Feels like it means less if that happens.

DK will sing if he wants to, he's pretty shy.

Highly depends on the character. I'd prefer to surprise when I can, but if the right person could use that build for their entry, it might happen. On a side note, I'm never going to announce when newcomers are showing in the announcements. That's just something you'll have to tune in to catch!

You bet on the alts. We're already delving into it with the beach theme going, the Saiyans got some speedos, and Kanji's in summer attire now. We'll be doing other things to play with the theme as we go.

Personally, I've always thought of VGCW's tag-team division as being one of the weaker aspects of the show. It's always been stacked, plenty of teams to go around with diverse faces all over, but there's a weakness in that it's always been particularly formulaic: A couple of teams have a disguised minitournament, winners fight the tag champions, give or take a plot, rinse and repeat. With such a powerful tag division, we're hoping to take a more vibrant approach to the situation by expanding on tag personality and distinction, making the Co-op Titles more interesting and having implications go beyond the titles themselves, i.e. feuds and stuff. Competitively-based contenders do make a lot of sense, but in general, I personally feel that a more storied method of leading into title matches gets a louder reception and is remembered for longer. I think we should have more of that.

I should say much of the same about the Casual Title, with one of the differences being, I would think of it as a midcard title - if you're not perceptibly good enough to go for the VGCW Championship, you can go for the Casual Title. But specifically defining it that way would be stifling; I prefer to think of the Casual Title as its own division with its own possibilities. On paper, it can be argued that the general group of people who are going for that title are just inherently weaker, but I think we can get more mileage by thinking of it as an entity of its own, not hard-limited by your power and geared like the other titles toward what gives us the best matches, possibly at a faster pace.

Basically, for my money, I just want to apply everything I've thought about the titles while I was just a fan of VGCW.

Guile did nothing wrong
A 20-Man Royal Rumble comprised of guys on the lower half of the power rankings for a shot at the Casual title would be cool

Silly matches like BAH GAWD KING said.

Otherwise, it's perfect.

What are you thoughts on doing promo videos for shows like Challenge Tower/End Game?


The one Bazza did for Challenge Tower was aces

Not so much a feedback as it is a question. Hair matches: yes or no?

I like everything you've been doing so far, TOH. You've split time between everyone on the roster evenly (there's only like 6-7 people who haven't been fitted in yet but I'm sure we'll see them next episode) and overall it seems like anything can happen at this point which is very exciting.

I have pretty much nothing to complain about so far, which is pretty impressive considering i'm a big ol' jerk. If I had one request, it'd be that we every so often(maybe once every two months or so) have an off-night tournament. While I wouldn't want to put a higher workload on TOH, I think it's something that someone else could host that'd be really straightforward and require no plot. I love the HELL out of tournaments but always feel a bit let down when we get one instead of a proper show.

I'm super happy with everything so far in these two episodes, they made me return to VGCW and I love it, I want more of it all.

Couple of things I want more off:
1) crossovers: I want them too, with both wvgcw and edbw, maybe some crossover matches with EDBW as well (notably, Solid vs Liquid, that reeks to PPV, considering Liquid's banter last episode)
2)work more with the tag scene: I feel like the tag scene got stagnant before, maybe creating new teams for it? Or focus on story or feuds?

The shows have been great so far! I'm enjoying the writing and the new beach mood, and the Kanji/Sabin confrontation feels like a step in the right direction. The first title bout of Season 11 already has some interesting stakes!

On another note, I think it's cool that other shows are sharing the Tuesday slot. I was able to tune in to Breakdown the other day and had a blast - it only pumped me up even more for the next VGCW. Can't wait to get to know all the members of the network!
