I have really really REALLY been wanting to organize a King of the Deathmatch style tournament where the winner would receive a trophy that can look shiny in their locker room, and maybe a title shot at the subsequent pay-per-view. I also want to involve Erik Holland in it. I think it totally speaks to the spirit of NGIW to have such a tournament and I want to know what you guys think and who you'd like to see in it.

It'd be pretty awesome to set up for an RCR contendership. If we do it after Sex and Violence drops the titles, Spade could be in it.

We could work on the tournament now and have the finals at Requiem. Plus, whatever happens with Spade's run during the tournament could impact on his tag team title story and then later involvement in the RCR scene.

Actually, if Nir's alright with it...I'd rather do this. :P I mean, given his reason for that little competitiveness and all, and not that it couldn't be happening at the same time. But yeah, just that with Roxie currently intoxicated, this could be something she signs herself into (as for now we could say they're just looking for entrants with an extensive deadline). Obviously Vicky would freak, given how she felt about Roxie being in the RCR division.
Party on,
Joe.

I agree with this. The whole idea is to put crazy deathmatches back into the spotlight in NGIW and get some of those Horrorcore Juices flowing again. Like blood. Mostly blood.

But the way I was gonna' start it was introduce it like Jericho did Money in the Bank. Erik is going to call it the Horrorcore Cup, as if it was an idea he brainstormed with the NGIW brass and if it really gets over with the rest of the group, it can be a yearly thing.

Here are my ideas for the tournament organization so far.

At the very least I want 8 wrestlers involved, but we can enter up to 16.

Match types are chosen entirely at random. Wight, if you've got a really good randomizer program like a virtual d20 or something, let's use that.

I would like semi-full to full results. I'd LIKE it but if it's impossible I can live without it.

I'd write some of those matches.

Even with multiple characters, trying to get eight of them is a little over reaching in my opinion, Will. There's only nine of us on this board as is. I think perhaps, to make things easier, you should look into only trying to get four this year. Start out small, simple and hopefully work your way up to eight next year.

Or, alternatively, try for six and make each of the opening round bouts a three-way, or make the finals a three-way contest. I think six is about the max you are really going to be able to get unless people start throwing in multiple characters left & right. Which defeats the purpose of this a little.

Also consider this as a placeholder for one of my characters' entrance into the tournament.

P.S. Being the resident writer for the shows, I can assure you that the matches will at least be semi-full results. If not, it's because people no showed or severely half assed it.

That's very true. I think I will try for six, and make the finals a three-way match like you're talking about. So that the final match can be more chaotic and violent.

I propose a cut-off date for entrance into the tournament too. Seeing as now you'll only have three shows to work this tournament into before the PPV, you might as well start while you can. Likely by the up-coming BLACK's date? Gives people seven days to enter themselves into this, if they want to.

And, for further clarification & booking sake, I'm entering Shitto into this.

Seven days I think is plenty. Wight, should I just send a promo into you then? It'd probably make more sense to do that considering Erik is not booked.

Already confirmed entrants:

Shitto
Erik
Bloodbath
Spade(?)
Roxie(?)

Also, if I might make a suggestion. Since the whole NGIW is Hell idea has been used alot and hand in hand with the idea of royalty quite a bit, King of Hell is the NGIW Champion, Queen of Hell, the RCR's name having crown it. Perhaps rather than calling it the Horrorcore Cup, which is a little generic, you call the tournament something like the Lord of Hell Tournament/Cup?

Makes the winner sound cooler too, as they aren't just the Horrorcore Cup Champion, they're the Lord of Hell.

Or, possibly the Rage Cup, a little more generic but alludes to the prize besides the cup itself, a RCR title shot.

I think I like Lord of Hell a little better. Man, Nir, this stuff is right up your alley. :)

Sounds a bit like the Lord of Tekken, and while I'm sure Joe Stanton will air juggle your ass into oblivion, few others do.

In all seriousness, "Lord" is a little generic. The Hell Knight's Cup could be cool. Or the Duke of Hell. Be playful with it.

I Really want Spade in this, it's right up his alley in a big big way. I don't know how to swing it while making sure S&V come off as a legit tag team again. Maybe double book Spade? I'd be alright with that, but I don't know ...

The Knight of Hell Cup has a lovely sound to it. As does Duke, in a tongue in cheek way.

And, could be an interesting storyline for Spade going into it. Him having to play the part of tournament hopeful and tag team partner.

Thanks, Will. My old stomping grounds had a different themed tournament every year, hardcore, lucha, technical, and so on. You get used to spit balling ideas for names and brackets after a while. :P

Oh! Or, or, or! The Knight of Hell's Grail. Don't even call it a cup! That makes it sound all the more epic, and like a heavy metal song's title.

Looking over the NGIW match listing, while I know at the end of the day it's Wighty's final say...I was thinking of some suggestions...

First Round Matches
Taipei Deathmatch
Flaming Motorcycle Deathmatch
Bloodbath Match
Buckets O' Blood Match
The House of Pain

Any three of these for the first round might be cool to dust off. Some are obviously deathmatches, more along the lines of Will's original idea. But I threw some RCR themed matches in there too, because I was thinking it might play into the prize at the end of the tournament.

Speaking of...

Finals
Ladder to Hell Match

In all of the backlogs I've reads and in all of my time here, I don't think I've actually seen this match used. Maybe I'm forgetting an instance. But most of the others I mentioned I've seen used or read back on them being used.

Considering the name of the tournament itself, I thought this might be a fitting match for the finale of it.

You can remove the question mark by Roxie's name. She butterflied herself in. Huh, who knew? Butterflied is an actual word. Or...my spellcheck thing isn't working.
Party on,
Joe.
