Ty burna vs Alex Bowen. Next round on meldown, make it happen. Champion vs Champion warm up match? Mayhem rules, since he knows all about the Mayhem Scene ;D

Make it happen creative, it shall put asses in seats.

If you're making it a Mayhem Rules match, I'm pretty sure some of those asses will be forcefully removed from their seats to ensure maximum weapon brutality.
 
It was the case that the Mayhem belt used to be defended every match the champion was in.
 
I'm hoping this RP for my debut match will be impressive enough to pull out a Victory. It's 10pm here now, it should be up sometime on Friday Afternoon, once it's been polished off.
 
I will be looking forward to reading it Abyss. But does anyone else think the team of Stan Rogers and Ricky Runn not sound badass? But what name should we go by? Oh I know, the tag team champs perhaps? :P
 
Shame, it's a great rule :(

Not trying to be a dick, but how is that a great rule? You might as well rename it the Clusterfuck rule. Again not trying to be a dick Lee, but you can't build storylines around it. Because each week the champion has a chance of losing. Even in the low card you have to have storylines to build a good roleplayer.

I know big deal, it's the mayhem title. I am trying to build this place up. Each title match I have had is a good one. If you want to beat me you have to be better than me. Not just burn me out with title match, after title match, after title match each week then snatch it from me.

Because it actually puts a legit Mayhem element to it. You can build storylines round that element and there were some great storylines. Using your last line logic then title matches should be voted on the full feud then rather than the individual match.
 
I liked that rule, it made being the longest-reigning Mayhem Champ mean something.

So me beating, Jones, then Cooper, then yourself means nothing? I take pride in every rp I write. I love this place, I believe changing the Mayhem title to a standard championship rule was the way to go. Even saying that, I believe every roleplay I put out is my best. Some might be longer, some might just be promos, or Cd. But every Rp I do with this title is the best that I can do.
 
What in water-cooling fuck is this hot load of bullshit?

For the record, I support the rule in question and was wondering where the frequent title matches went. It's an element that makes the division stand-out as something special, something that essentially the lowest rung on the ladder should use to build hot stars fast and weed out the weak. Blunt? Maybe. But it's where I sit.

The Punk trunks in my sig are really going to my head.
 
Yeah, that was stopped before last year's Apocalypse PPV.

Slightly off my Funkay friend. If that were true than my savior Chris Jones would've been defending the Mayhem Title at Kingdom Come and not our current champion Alex Bowen. The rule seised after Kingdom Come it would seem.

I too had noticed a lack of title changes happening recently. Well I'm not here to raise support for it's immediate revival, or dismiss our champion who has done well, I do miss the unpredictability that was the Mayhem title being defended every week. Bowen's is right that it can hinder storylines sometimes, but I don't think there was a greater thrill than writing an RP knowing you had to win cause you were defending. That challenge drove me to write the best RP's that I could when I first won the belt.
 
As a new guy I would love to see the Mayhem rule put back into place. The rule reminds me of the Hardcore title defense 24 hour rule in the WWF. If it encourages the holder to write stronger rp's and make them stronger to move up in the card I am all for it.
 
I'll say this about constant title changes, it can cheapen the excitement of winning the title (of any kind). That's why you hear people say a belt is just a prop nowadays. On the other hand you look at Roh where a title change is a huge deal due to how few actually happen. That makes the belt important. To me a year long reign is more impressive than being a ten time champion with short reigns. Take me for example, it'll be big when I finally lose the world title. If I had lost it sooner it wouldn't have been nearly as important as it would now.

I like where the Mayhem Championship is at right now. It's a good proving ground for rookies and veterans alike. With the talent we have, holding any title for an extended period of time is a major accomplishment. Phatso should be damn proud of how long he's been champion. Any of his title matches could have ended his run just like Gordito, Barbosa, Showtime, Everest, and Reynolds have tested me.

Agree and disagree. Constant title changes in and of themselves don't cheapen the belts. That's a smark fallacy in my book. Throwing belts on guys who don't deserve them to get them over rather than putting the belts on the right guys cheapens them. As for frequent title changes and short reigns, there's a time for those and there's a time for lengthy title reigns. Subscribing to one or the other alone strikes me as wrong because you need each to balance out the other and make it seem special and different. You're a good champion because we can compare you to, say, Vengeance. Reynolds was a good champion because we can compare him to Winters. And so on. And on the flip side, quick and unexpected title changes are exciting only when you have the backdrop of long term, stable reigns to compare these events to. I myself reckon that there's no harm in regular title matches because if you're good, you're good and that shines through in a long title reign. The cream rises to the top. And you don't want to limit opportunities for cream to rise in the always changing undercard landscape, do you?

But that's just individual booking philosophy. Specific to this fed, what really strikes me was Phatso's comment earlier that regular title matches would somehow fatigue him. Like everyone else doesn't RP to the best of their ability every round or something. I just don't buy it. And in a place on the card that's muddled with newcomers who need an opportunity to break from the pack, one title defense per two month PPV cycle doesn't seem to accurately reflect the competitive and chaotic nature of the division. If the title isn't on the line regularly, we see what we see now: A directionless under-card that lacks a sense of urgency.

Not being argumentative. I just feel since everyone else seems intent on discussing this, it's a conversation with a lot of angles worth having. Nothing against Phatso either.

And... back into my hole.
 
I have been enjoying the makes you put out the best rp argument from some people. You will see, that's for sure.

Again, Ty Burna Vs Alex Bowen. Next week on Meltdown. Make it happen I'm fucking begging you more than ever. I need to let the people know what I am about. I don't see anyone else begging you for a match. Fuck the title, I want the match. I'm not stupid, I just have the balls to ask for a match.
 
While I support more title matches on MD & AS - always have and will - the key for us is to find a balance. Beat a champion (who RPs) in a non title match and dare us to turn you down - precedent was last year with me vs Hammond. Impress in a non title match and I am more than proof enough that another chance will follow.

The Mayhem Eliminator (my idea) is proof of that because I know now who I would like to see given a chance in that division at the moment.
 
I loved the Mayhem Eliminator and Bowen's Challenge. Saxton came out on top with both of them, and I am looking forward to this next brawl with him.

And Coco I am not for or aganst the Mayhem title rule. I was just bringing up the Fatigue thing in the way I am looking at it. I've never seen a champion week in and week out run on title matches. The tv title is on thing, but really? You know who was going to win half the time.

I had to work my way up the ladder. I was singles, and tag before I got into this. I believe creative has done a great job with The Eliminator and Bowen's Challenge.

With that being said, I put out my best with the best. And the best being anyone in Wzcw. Anytime any place, you want it you have it. I am the best atm, but who's to say one of the new arivals can't knock me off my seat.
