Just gonna throw down my thoughts and suggestions in one big post lmao Comments: Petition to get Chris to do another majestic reading out of a Mustache Family segment? Fun Fact: Corey and I have only properly RPed against each other once and that was in my first ever E-Fedding match which was roughly 4 or 5 years ago. If the little nerd decides to eviscerate everyone at Havoc Rumble we will have one of the GOAT matches/feuds in the little AW/WCF/UCI universe provided I've still got the belt. We've had a few ideas for feuds that have never come into fruition (Fausse v Mercury at UCI, Cyborg Eddie Felt v Ethan King at WCF) so a Lockhart v PasterSNAK match would be fire. I thought the advice on segments was excellent and hope people in AW utilize it. I can't remember if this was spoken about by you guys but COMMUNICATION is absolutely huge and can make the difference between a "meh" story and an amazing story. Wade, Spencer and I had what I would consider the best feud thus far in AW simply because the three of us along with Tort would communicate every week in order to build the match up through segments and make every character look dangerous. It propelled all three of us as writers and our characters too, so yeah communicate often and make those epic feuds come to life. I like the idea of increasing the World Title word count. Anywhere between 6-8K would be sweet spot for me. I think it would especially help during multi-man World Title matches where it can be difficult to go into a thorough shoot with the 4K cap. However, writing an excellent RP with only quality and no filler is something that is emphasized by the 4K cap, so I can see the reasoning for it as well. I want the UCI and World Title to have a unification bout. I agree that there should be one main midcard belt. Not only will it increase the competition and raise the level of everyone striving to work their way up the card, but it'll give the US Title more prestige. I actually don't mind the white background all that much. I'm on my laptop most of the time when I'm reading the site and it doesn't bother me. I do think it'd be cool if there was an option to select different backgrounds though so everyone got their preference - not sure how all that stuff works though. Flash v Lockhart would be an absolute dream match on a similar level to Corey v Me with any character. I do get what you mean by how the judging could be potentially skewed if it was done here due to Ryan being the established AW star and current champion at AW and if the match was even relatively close the benefit of the doubt would probably go to the character more present in the fed. If I'm lucky enough to go on an insane run and hold the belt for a while, I'm sure we can figure some shit out to have a nice feud and have it where everything is fair, and then we can cross off one of the many dream matches you guys listed out. Speaking of those matches, damn some of them had me hype. Sanchez vs. Flash? Holmes vs. Flash? Jared vs. Wade vs. Rabid? TUB v SJW? I'd even add in the Sanchez vs. Singh vs. Ethan King. Fucckkk we as a community really need to work on getting the payoffs on some of these matches that should've happened but didn't. Some more I'd throw out: Sanchez vs. Rabid - The shoot here would be some of the most vicious we'd probably see from both sides. Fly vs. Flash is an obvious one. Dune v Fake Dune if that hasn't happened already. Corey Black v Lockhart. More of a self-indulgent one, doesn't make a heap of sense IC but I think it'd be cool. ...Howard Black v Zione Redington. The rematch that still hasn't happened to this day. (Apologies to those who don't get the reference lmao) Next Topic Suggestion: Shoot or Character Development. Delve into what makes an excellent shoot or what is effective when developing a character through RPs. RP Critique Suggestion: I'd be down for any of mine to be critiqued for any future podcasts. Since a #BK one was just done though, I'd suggest reviewing someone on the cusp of breaking into the main-event, like a Casey Holliday or a Lincoln RP. Might drop some links for specific RPs from those guys soon

This may sound snappy/smarky but it really isn't, just my reactions/responses to what you guys brought up!
The background won't change. Black background is 1999'ish and this isn't Maddox.xmission. Also, admins and stuff use tablets, phones and etc to judge roleplays so PCs will look the same.
The cap can't be changed to go higher, we have a roster of 40+ and you're expecting two head guys who work 40 hours a week + one of us travels the world on the weekends to read that many RPs and now you want us to read more? LOL. Nah. Not to mention, many of our roster don't even hit the full 4k anyway, and some of the guys/gals when they get passed 3k start to show weaknesses and are exposed. Plus, most of our roster are moms and dads, or full time students and shit, I don't need guys knowing the results because we all see that Champion put up 1 RP and the challenger put up 2 RPs and now we know who wins. Thats lame. The caps keep it super competitive.
Great points on the tag division, the tag division can be fun but a lot of guys wanna go singles (and even message us asking us to try to keep them away from tag matches like random ones on Clashs and such)
As for the Power Word: Kill shit, you guys told me many a times in messages to let others bury the fuck out of you, you guys look weak, and do the job all the time and win matches like smarmy fucking heels (which is why GD's Philly joined ya guys at YOUR suggestion..), and then there was about 4 title matches in a row where one of you would tell me you're gonna drop the tag titles, then after you guys posted, the other one would tell me not to do that and judge it correctly (so I did and ya'll won.) You guys even wanted to work lower-card guys, and put everyone else over except then you'd message me saying the other. It was very annoying and you can ask the other admins because we were constantly confused on both of you. As for Wrestler of the Year tournament, I had you like around 8, 9 and 10th seed (because we legit had real seeds) and then we decided you'd be the 8th seed and you messaged me saying you wanted to take a break.. so I took you out of the fan vote, and I think Lockhart took your spot (because I thought of an idea to "keep him down" and not put him in, even rigging the fan vote to prove it :-). But yeah, you wanted to go singles all the time while being tag team champion so I had other guys like Talent Enhancers, Bishop wanted a tag team, there was another tag team that wanted to start, Guardians too, and you guys never wanted to drop tag belts until you wanted to, EVEN THOUGH you told me at the beginning you wanted low card matches, and put guys over and be stress-free. As a fed head you guys went from pretty easy to work with, to two very annoying crybabies who didn't try hard so why should I reward you with better booking, THEN when I decided to do it, you told me you wanted to take a break (this is to Howie..) No hard feelings or anything, but we run this like a small little business, because we have to, since our roster goes from 30 people to 55 at one time, so GD, and myself, THEN Corey and Spencer all have to be on the same page (as GD and I have two very different work schedules as well) - This isn't a personal knock because the three of us chat all the time and we're harshly-honest with each other, but working with you guys went from super fun and chill-bros to whiny weirdos to guys who didn't care to try because you didn't get your way one time even though you told me you DIDNT wanna go full-hard and just say low card. So yeah. Thats just my side of things.
As for UCI and US title, yeah, theres some midcard titles, but the UCI Title debuted in AW on March 12th last year, so I'd keep a look out on the one year anniversary of it being in AW. ==)) Also though, again, we have 11 matches on this Clash, some of them multi-man matches, and we only have World, UCI, US, TV and Tag. Then theres 201 belt. Thats not that many titles, especially considering many guys don't want to do feuds or storylines.. unless it revolves around a Championship belt. lol. Also note, 11 matches and I didn't even book everyone, AND theres still some guys waiting in the wings, and some guys who are just taking it slow right now on break who are also waiting in the wings. 11 matches is some PPV type shit and we're doing it week in and week out, and many guys are in stable-like matches lately so theres plenty of room on the card with no belts.
I lovedddddd your guys break down of the segments, and roleplays. I wish people would send in more segments! I TOO love the fact that you guys love small little teaser type shit, and I put a lot of that stuff into Action Wrestling results. I even tease commercial breaks and not go to them to come back for guys to cut promos, I even tease other promos happening in the show, I try to get some segments to match up and bleed into one another.. and I have to give props to Dandy sometimes who bleeds segments into his matches (and some of them he even angles for his opponents to win!) That shit is dopppeeee.
The dream matches are hilariously good. I can't RP for shit anymore so I'm lame as fuuckkkk, but Tort/GD vs Corey/Seth would be hilarious! Corey is hella fun to write against. Some of the other older-style WCF shit sounds dope too (older-style as in a few years ago)
I stan GD as Ultimate Destroyer lmaooooooo.
The other stuff, I enjoyed listening to, the favorites, pros and cons, (Also I stan the fuck out of Dune and anything and everything he does lol) and Odin is a beaaassttttt, just keeps coming fresh with shit.

For the next show, to play off of what was discussed here, maybe go into how to plan out a story, the pros and cons of both short term and long term plans, and some examples of when good storyboarding helped feuds.

For the record, I’d be down with y’all tearing apart one of my RPs if you’re so inclined in the future.

Torture & Gravedigger, regarding the health of the tag team division, any chance y'all might consider allowing handlers to add a dedicated tag team as a second character? I'd love to bring in a tag team without having to surrender DD, but obviously, I don't want to run afoul of the "two characters per handler" rule. I also definitely do not want a situation wherein I end up booked in three individual matches on a given card. I could imagine a workable scenario wherein y'all only book the tag team as a tag team or only book one of the team guys in solos on any given show. I'm just spitballing though and am totally fine with y'all telling me to go to hell. haha
