Hey guys, we wanted to address something that has been happening off and on that we need to talk about and that is surprise challenges on Clash or PPVs. What do we mean by this? We're referring to when people send segments for the shows where they challenge someone to a match, challenge for a title, or attack someone to start a feud without talking to Torture and myself first.
It's fine if people post on the IT boards or even in a RP talking trash about a wrestler or champion, saying they want a shot, but the shows themselves are pretty much canon.
The reason why it's an issue to make these challenges without asking is because the person or titleholder you're going after may already be in the middle of something. There may already be plans for them. In some cases people may be doing this to force our hand in putting them into a feud with someone or getting a title shot which we're not going to do 9 times out of 10. Another scenario is that we can't do the match or title shot and it makes your character look bad because management "ignored" them on the show.
We don't want to discourage people from challenging others or starting feuds, but we need to know ahead of time while booking so that we can either accommodate your request or turn it down with an explanation.

Nah. Next week, Ms. Monster will surprise return to challenge Gravedigger for an Evo2 with ownership of AW on the line, and she won't clear it with no one first.

Hey, Torture - based on these new developments, I get the feeling Lessie would LOVE to meet Switchfever, if you have any way of making that a reality?

Lissie, I could easily have Jakob go off his meds, making it an smooth transition for The Monster to resurface. Then after that little remark you made, Oblivion would be making ITself home in your shadows.
Oh btw Richards, be careful what you ask for... YOU MIGHT END UP GETTING IT!! The Monster is willing to take on anybody.... ANYONE!!! Let that be warning to anyone... Just talking... Not necessarily in character. Also Overton, we talked. You're being watched. Anytime, anywhere, either Jakob or maybe just maybe Oblivion will be everywhere you'll be. Again, just talk. People call out Jakob, you're gonna be dealt with... Simple!!

Lissie, no need to fret. Everything will be just fine. As long you don't hear any "clicking, moaning, hissing, or groaning" . You will be safe...
...for now. Just kidding. Sort of...

Iโm glad you talked about this. On Clash after Bobby Rageโs match, he called me out and we had a brawl. But, I never knew that was happening. Iโm not mad that it happened in fact, itโs good that it did because we were already calling each other out in role plays and on the internet post boards. But, it wouldโve been better if I was asked about it first.

I don't mind your standard sneak attack. That way I could react in impulse reactions. As long as it's done with a purpose and those who do the attacking, better expect retaliation.

This isn't really about informing all parties of these things, it's more about it being cleared with us in case it clashes with current or upcoming storylines. If someone wants to sneak attack another character, we don't require the character being attacked to give permission or be informed. The reason why is because there are plenty of people out there who would refuse to allow their character to be attacked or they would purposely send in a segment countering it out of spite. If someone DOES want to tell the other person they're attacking them, it's fine, but not necessary.

Half the fun of efeding is not knowing what's going to happen and having faith in our "bookers" / writers to not bury our characters.

Yeah, sneak attacks are okay if it leads to something, rather than just a random attack to build a character. while I'm on this subject, have an one you guys and girls ever been in a feud where your opponent wouldn't allow you to attack them, but they could attack you at will.

Our โbookersโ and writers have done an very good job in how Shadow is represented in my opinion.
I know when Shadow attacked Lockhart at the end of All-In and subsequent sneak attacks werenโt scripted by Ryan or myself. I think GD and Tort saw the potential in our feud, if Iโm not mistaken, and built upon that momentum.
I think Ryan & Shadow both lived up to that potential. And even though Shadow vs. NvL fell through as another potential feud. GD did ask NvL and myself our thoughts on that feud beforehand and my thoughts on other feud ideas after Shadow vs. NvL couldnโt happen due to real world factors.
Iโve always liked the surprise factor involving sneak attacks when sneak attacking or when being sneak attacked. Thatโs the fun part of of e-fedding. In my opinion, all sneak attack storylines shouldnโt be done without validation from GD, Tort, and the other Admins out of common courtesy.
