Intro

Alright, it's time to give the guest GM idea a run for Shove-It weekend. Basically this is a sign up thread for people who want to GM a weekend show in the future. Keep in mind that you need to be the one who takes charge of the show. If you cannot find judges or people to write matches then it's ALL up to you since you signed up for the task. You can only GM one week at a time unless no one else signs up for the spot.

You might ask... "Why not just assign one permanent GM?" Well, I guess you can say this is a way for us to test out potential GMs. Often times people find themselves in the GM spot and come to realize that it's not all it's cracked up to be.


When

August 3rd - 4th is the only realistic date we can do this on so that people have time to sign up and RP. That means the temp. GM should have their card ready to go on the 27th or 28th of July. If it all goes smooth then we can probably get another going for the week after.


Who

Currently, Eli James, Hunter Payne, and Lightning have priority for this show since all three of them came to me about running a show. Whoever out of these three replies to this thread or PMs me first will be the one to run it. If neither of you guys respond by tomorrow night, then the show is up for grabs. So everyone else, feel free to put your names down in case neither of these three are up to the task.


Rules of running Shove-It! ...

* It needs to take place on the weekend of August 3 - 4.

* Card needs to go up on the 27th or 28th.

* You need to make the sign-up thread in the booking forum.

* You can only book people who sign up for the show whether it's by the booking forum or a private message. In other words, don't put anyone on the card who doesn't sign up. If you're only able to get two people to sign up, then screw it-- run a two-match show with an x-treme title defense and a tv title defense.

* UFO-FTW and Television Title are the only championships you can book. Doesn't matter if these champions sign up or not. No other titles allowed unless a GM approves.

* You can rename the show if you'd like. Do a theme, gimmicky matches, etc.

* For this particular date/episode, I will not be able to help with judging or match writing. (busy weekend planned) Shane , Paul Heyman and Gio might be able to help you, I'm sure they'll let you know in this thread or in PM. But they aren't required to since this show is optional to begin with. This is your show so take control of it.

* If the temp. GM fails to produce results (or is 2 days late), then the other GMs will step in and write up a very short summary of the show. (More than likely just winners.) Hopefully this doesn't happen, but there's a good chance it will.

That's all I can think of at the moment. If any of the other GMs have any advice, feel free to step in.

I'd be happy to attempt a show

As many people know, i was behind Archie Lawson, (The account now inactive so cannot post as him).

As Mr. Madison says, running a show is not as amazing as you expect. I used to run a show, but XWF is a much larger scale. There's A LOT of work that you need to put into the show, if you don't have time don't do it.

Despite this, running a show that goes well is a great feeling. Having people telling you that they think you're doing a good job is also rewarding.

So yeah, although it's fun and rewarding, it's also hard work and time consuming. Which is why we shouldn't take for granted how much all the management team puts in week in week out.

Just wanted to add that you don't have to be aiming for a GM position in order to do this. You can also just do it 100% for fun as a 1 time thing. Make your show as unique or as crazy as you want.

i'll throw my name into the hat. Mister Russell Mania Prsents: "RussellMania 1"

Throw my name in there baby! The most violent Shove it ever!

This guy has the right idea!

I would like a go at some point when available

Ill work with Russell Maina...

I got ideas for a one time thing...

Hopefully I can help out with this...

I'd like to try my hand at GMing a........ Oh wait.

Lets make it happen!

The Connection would like to collectively run a show in the near future if possible?

Oh God, Keith Lemon, my eyes! I might have to bring in Avid Merrion and take you down Russell!

On another note, as I mentioned to you on Skype Maddio I fancy doing one of these in future, maybe before September circumstances (and queue) permitting.

Let's do this... Shove It: A Night Of Payne! <------------------------------See what I did there

The people WANT MISTERRRRRRRR. RUSSEL.L.L.L.L..... MAAAAAINEEEEYAAAAAAA to host "RussellMania 1" Sunday, August 4th!

Lets do this!

Payne was one of the three who came to me first, and hes the first of those three to respond, so its all his!

Id really like to see russelmania for the week after though.

So get your thread going on the booking forum, Payne. Good luck.

Sooooo... RussellMania 1... Sunday, August 11?

Sounds good to me.

This is what I get fr being worked overtime the last two days! Well since we have the next two weeks filled, if you want to do a three week trial with this idea, id love to take the rear and go for August 17th.

When there is a storm...Lightning strikes!

Consider me a alternate as well.

I have had a blast helping write matches for each of the shows, plus the PPVs from time to time and would love to take a crack at running a episode of Shove-It.

Let all of The Connection run it ^

yeah I just seen The Connection listed as a alternate, never-mind then

id def try to do one but with my busy work schedule it would take me forever to even put up.. though here is my idea... and if u steal it i will demand your account BANNED! lol jk i actually did this in one of my feds way back in the day


SCARS AND STRIPES... (Tribute to the Troops)

each match is contested under hardcore/death match rules..


Hell in A Cell
House of Hell (Peter's creation not that shit creation we had)
Barbed Wire
Fall of Death (Scaffold Match with Barbed Wire Explosives in the ring.. yup INSTANT DEATH!)
Guerilla Warfare
Doomsday Cage of Hell (what u think it means morons)


now that my friends is a PPV quality card.. if my work schedule eased up, I'd definitely do something like this!

SUCK... MY... DICK!

3X Star of the Month
Former 3x Hart Champion
Former 13X Xtreme Champion
Former 6X Tag Champion
Former 2X Trios Champion
Former 2x Heavy Metal Weight Champion
Former Universal Champion

just wondering, is Russellmania just gonna be him doing a show for just him??

Ill run one. Let me know if you need me.

Seriously What is Russelmania?

I could run one. Would be fun. :)

(08-01-2013, 01:16 AM)Mr. Radio Said: Seriously What is Russelmania?

It is the showcase of an immortal....

DUH!

Small update...

Going forward, I want to start making the X-Treme title exclusive to Warfare, meaning there will probably be a defense every week on Warfare.

Because of this, the guest GM of Shove-It may NOT book the X-Treme Title. I think allowing that would only create a clusterfuck as far as schedules, RPing, and match writing/judging goes. This inconveniences not only the champion, but the GMs as well. Stevie Tyler is currently booked in 3 back to back shows, and if he loses the title on Shove-It then that throws a wrench into a lot of plans.

That's all, looking forward to your show, Hunter!

*just to clarify, the current X-Treme Title match on Shove-It will go on as planned... it will not be allowed for FUTURE shove-its.

RussellMania is an actual event. Signup is on the "Bookings" board.

I wouldn't mind running a Shove it show one weekend, if it is just an option

Shove it- Locked Away

It would be a night of matches all based in various entrapment gimmicks:


Doomsday Cage match
Hell in a Cell
Electrified Cage match
Elimination Chamber match
Inferno match
Lion's Den match
Punjabi Prison match
Thundercage
Triple Cage match
WarGames
Lethal Lockdown
Xscape match
