-- I watched the NWA "Baseball Bat incident" tonight again and marveled at the emotion that Dusty shows in that piece. You can really tell he wants to take Tully apart for going after his best friend. Made me ponder that we really don't have any of our faces who seem like that close of friends to go to war with someone for each other. It might be an element missing from the roster.

Blame my over ambition.

I went and started my own business (second one I guess, but first real store front) so have been crazy busy painting and construction and buying and all the businessman stuff.

Kapow Comics, Cards and Games!

@kapowltd on twitter and we're on facebook too.

Lemme get settled and it'll come!

All of the tournaments have made people think of nobody but themselves!

But seriously, BC would take a bullet for Manny. Because all of the fat would stop it before hitting any major organs....

I could see Rob Donovan as being one of the true locker-room enforcers. Big guy with a no-nonsense attitude about him.

"Destruction of Hell" start playing as Mason drop the mic and exit the
ring as fans throw stuffs at him but he punch out most of the fans even
children.

AWA badasses:

I agree, I could see Donovan being this guy in the back, A-Mart of course as well, and also Hannibal Carver.

For AWA friends, I would guess that maybe Rogers/Langseth are close from their EMWC days, though not faces. Maybe Nova/Sharif really do have some odd couple friendship. Gunnar Gaines/Alex Martinez possibly...been around forever, both have sons, common bond, so forth.

SSW is paying back taxes on all of their high priced internet commercials at SuperClash IV, this has set them back 4-6 weeks.

Up until recently, I would think that Watkins was the alpha Locker Room Badass.

Why do I get the feeling that Preston and Wright formed some sort of Combat Corner backstage clique with other Combat Corner alumni and all they do is go to strip clubs or train in MMA all the time?

Kyle Houlder is off the table... he is graduating to 'handled character'.

Whatever happened to this?

(although it would be in character for him to bolt just as he's about to get a push...)

I think the main reason is because friendships between characters (presuming they're handled by different people) just take more work to put across. They generally require a lot of handler collaboration over a period of time to get established. Speaking from experience, this kind of collaboration also generally requires more complex interaction between characters. While two feuding characters' roleplays can be structured like a debate where each character says their piece in turn, there's a lot more frequent back and forth between two buddies just shooting the breeze. This is a lot more difficult to pull off now we're not sitting on IRC every night.

Also, a majority of the faces on the roster have pretty shady backgrounds, which creates an general atmosphere of distrust and more distance to be covered in RPs before we can believe there's a friendship there. Overall, it's a lot of effort - enough to make everyone else wonder when the tag team will form and/or when the double cross will take place.

Obviously for one of them to turn on the other.

It's funny, because it's only been four days.

Why can't we be friends?
