I. What Is This?
======================================================================
Kayfabe:
The Fantastic Fight Network (FFN) starts a new project, New Wave Pro
Wrestling, that tours mostly the North Eastern states initially. FFN
is trying to conquer the wrestling world with an exciting family friendly
new promotion offering an entertaining variety of wrestling and superstars!

OOC:
Hola, this is 'Dro! I have been wanting to do something like this for a
while now and feel it is time! Basically this is a summary style fed with
one show a month that is aiming for sort of a 1980's WWF style w/ a touch
of international flavor! Looking for a roster on the smaller size, 12-16
handlers, with a variety of characters and definite heels and faces. We're
going for an easy schedule with a show that is a comfortable and easy size
for anyone to read and enjoy! Hopefully fun will be had by all!
======================================================================
II. What Are The Shows and how often are the shows?
======================================================================
New Wave Pro Wrestling will have one show a month with two off months,
June & December. So 10 shows a year. The basic lay out will be four
regular shows and then a super card to blow off all the feuds and
storylines built up.

As to why June & December are the off months:
June-International Football tournaments. I am useless to you in June!
December-Holidays. We're all busy and could use the month off!

The regular show will be called "Revolution" and the supercard will
have different names, pretty much guaranteed to be named after various
80's songs. I can tell you that the 1st supercard will be called
"A Night Like This".

While talking about the shows let me mention that the matchwriting on
the shows will be in summary style. Squashes & undercard matches will
feature smaller sized summary matches and the main event will feature
bigger summary write ups. Supercards will have bigger write ups all
the way around. And there will be a roster of jobbers for folks to
use for squashing because I definitely believe in building up characters
through squash matches. Main events & any non-squash undercard matches
on "Revolution" will be tag team and/or multi-man tag matches because
I want to save the one on one matches for the Super Cards to really
build up anticipation for them and to make the one on one matches special.
======================================================================
III. What Kinds Of Characters Do You Want and/or Don't Want?
======================================================================
I am looking for a variety of characters. I want definite heels and
definite faces, absolutely NO tweeners. I very much want battles of
good vs evil. For this reason we need pretty much an even & equal number
of heels and faces constantly in the fed. I want everyone to always have
a feud and/or story going on every cycle so this is why we will always
have to have equal number of heels and faces. So at times availability
for spots in the fed may fluctuate depending on this factor.

Also, at the start I am only looking for male singles wrestlers. There
will only be one title initially with no tag team division. We might add
a tag team division after a year or so but initially I want to keep
things as simple and easy to manage as possible and singles only will
be much easier to deal with. Will also only allow one character per
handler. If a tag division comes in the future then handlers can have
1 singles and 1 tag team but for now, just one char per handler.

As for what I decidedly do NOT want in the fed, besides tweeners...
No hardcore/extreme/deathmatch types. I don't want ANY extreme stuff
in this at all. I don't even want table spots. Chair shots and bleeding
will be kept to as bare a minimum as possible, saved for really
important matches and/or moments. Also, I want gimmicks and characters
that will be kind of PG oriented. No drug addicts/pornstars/racists etc.
======================================================================
IV. What About Promos & Oncards? When and How Many Do I Have To Do?
======================================================================
The idea is to have one show a month with promos airing before matches
and what have you. So no RP show, just promos that would be on a regular
show. I would prefer either backstage or studio set promos that are kept
somewhat on the briefer side to help make this an easier read all the
way around but am open to other situations maybe once a cycle.

As for oncards, I know we have to have oncards for advancing angles and
feuds and what have you. I only ask that like with promos, a sense of
brevity is preferred because we don't want shows that are massive in
size due to promos and oncards with small summary style matchwriting
in between. The more all elements are streamlined the better the shows
will read. If needed folks can have up to two on cards on a show.

One special circumstance, that will make sense in a little bit, on the
1st supercard, "A Night Like This", every character will need to do
TWO promos: 1 for their feud blowoff and 1 for.. Well VI will have the
answers there!

There will also be a "Twitter feed" thread on JTF for New Wave Pro
Wrestling that I will archive every month. It is totally optional but
it will be a fun little extra thing for everyone to make fake tweets
and comments and have fun with!

Also, one VERY important note about promos: ABSOLUTELY NO CURSING! Not
even censored cursing. I want things kept somewhat PG oriented, so no
cursing whatsoever. I will send promos with cursing and/or censored
cursing back for being redone. And if the handler doesn't edit that
part, then I will rewrite that bit and you never know what you will
get in that circumstance! If you have a question about if a word is
OK, just ask me and I will let you know.
======================================================================
V. What About Strats?
======================================================================
Strats will definitely be welcomed and encouraged BUT I am going to be
a stickler about this with no exceptions: All strats must be done with
the New Wave Strat Form. I will provide the strat form in this FAQ
and all strats must be done with it. Any strats not done w/ it will
NOT be used. YES, it will not be used. The strat form makes it easier for me to
keep things brief and to fit in everyone's ideas on the shows. It makes
my life & enjoyment easier and thus will make your life & enjoyment
easier!
======================================================================
VI. Will There Be Championships?
======================================================================
Yes! At the start we will have one title: New Wave Pro Wrestling Heavyweight
Championship. Initially this will be the only title in the fed. It will
be decided in a Rumble that will headline the first Supercard, "A Night
Like This". This title will only be defended and fought over on Supercards.
In the future more titles may be added to the fed, but initially just the one.
======================================================================
VII. Who Are The On-Air Non Wrestling Personalities & Staff?
======================================================================
First off, no Boss figurehead in New Wave Pro Wrestling! Decisions will
be made by the FFN Board of Directors and/or the Championship Committee.
So no General Manager Authority Figure for people to drum up angles
with. We're going old school baby!

But we do have some commentators, a ring announcer and some reporters!

Charles "Chuck" Morgan, from the CL Memorial Cup shows and before
that from the FFN Critics Corners Review shows, is the face commentator!

Roy Harper, also from the CL Memorial Cup shows and also from the
FFN Critics Corners shows, is the heel commentator!

Marvin Bloom, father of Girl Fight's Valerie Bloom, is the very
handsome ring announcer!

There will be three different reporters but they will switch off, show
to show, in terms of who will be available for doing the show. Don't
worry, I will tell you on the updates which reporter is available for
the next show, etc. But they are:

Todd Banks, known as ReporterTodd_FFN on the FFN Twitter Feed, who is
famous for having a weak stomach for spicy foods (in case anyone needs
to do hijinks with him).

Julie Statler, known as ReporterJulie_FFN on the FFN Twitter Feed.

Walt Garrison, known as ReporterWalt_FFN on the FFN Twitter Feed, and
is something of a super fan so he will come in handy if people need
someone super nerdy and knowledgeable on wrestling history stuff for
their bits.

There are no plans to have specific referee characters since it's all
in summary and the less you have to take away from the wrestling and
stories going on in it the better.
======================================================================
VIII. How Will Booking Be Decided?
======================================================================
This will be done in a few ways with several things in mind. For me
what is best for the story/angle/feud should always come first in most
booking decisions, especially in concern to the build up. So if two
handlers work out a rough outline with feedback from me on it, the
build up on the regular shows should be pretty easy to figure out. But
I know the main question is about the blow offs.

If the two handlers both come up with a blow off finish that they agree
to and feel very strongly about I will respect their wishes and go with
their idea if it is in the best interest of the story/angle/fed. If the
two handlers don't want to decide the feud blow off and ask me for a
direct competitive decision then I will compare the promos throughout
the entire cycle and make my decision based off that. If the two handlers
don't want to decide and don't ask for a direct competition outcome
then what is best for the feud/story/angle/fed will be my main consideration.

But I am open to all kind of ideas and ways in this area and none of
this will be set in stone. Every angle and situation will probably have
it's own unique way of deciding the outcomes. The main thing will be
having fun and having fairly logical booking.

I will say, in advance, in regards to the Rumble to determine the 1st
New Wave Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion on "A Night Like This" it
will be decided solely on who does the best promo regarding the Rumble
w/ some extra points for who had the best body of work promo wise
that cycle. So that will probably be the most stark promo vs promo situation
in the fed, at least initially.
======================================================================
IX. How Do I Join?
======================================================================
Why you just fill out the application below and send it to:
texanspaniard@yahoo.com

OR if you have an application from somewhere else that you are already
happy with or an app form from somewhere else that you prefer then you
can send that in. It should be fine!

ALSO be sure to join the FFN Yahoo Group at..
http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/fantasticfightnetwork/
..Because shows and news will be posted through there first (though all
will be posted here on JTF as well obviously). But yes, join the FFN
Yahoo Group to be up on stuff!

But hey, let's get to the Application and the Strat form and get this
shindig moving! I am hoping for a roster of around 12-16 characters so
if you are interested please get in touch with me sooner rather than
later and if a spot isn't available initially, stay in touch because
spots can open up as things go on!

XII. Famous Last Words
======================================================================
That should about cover everything! I think this can be a lot of fun and
at one show a month, 10 shows a year, this should be easy for us to
keep this going! So fill out an app or send an old one in and let's make
this happen! Thanks for reading, I really appreciate it, and adios! - 'Dro
