What goes into your chili?

I get my beef, beans, onions and some fried potato slices. Throw in some cumin, paprika, herbs du provence and a dash of sugar. Then into that I put a beef stock cube and a spoon of tomato pureé. Blows your tiny mind.


Okay, I wanna talk about the last Harry Potter book. Now, when you think about it, the elder wand stuff actually does make sense, although the movie got it completely wrong.

However, the one plot hole that bugs me is how did Voldemort not know that Harry was a horcrux? The greatest dark wizard ever couldn't figure out that his mortal enemy he shares a connection with was the thing he'd been studying for years?

Welcome to film, Blade.

Also - try Moroccan seasoning on your potato. It's amazing.

I will have a look for it, but it'll be tricky to find in Ireland. We're not much of a spice country, I had to go to a specialist store just to get cumin.

I like being online at this time of day, when all the Americans are still asleep. We can talk about film and recipes without their shenanigans bringing the place down.

I love logging in for the first time each day, because then I have four or five pages to catch up to. Except today.

Australia has one section dedicated to spices at virtually every supermarket. We also have a whole aisle of chocolate/lollies as well as drinks. I've been to France and they have aisles full of cheese, bread & wine. It's different in every country.

 

[Blade]

We have huge sections dedicated to alcohol, surprisingly. Like, gigantic sections that you could get lost in.

Oh, and crisps. We have a shit ton of crisps.

 

[Dirk]

Whiskey and potato...
Sounds about right.

 

[Shotaro]

Yeah, definitely Irish.

 

[Blade]

If it ain't broke.

 

[a0161613]

So I've narrowed down my All Stars gimmick to one of seven I think.

 

[a0161613]

If it ain't broke.

Ironic, given the economy there...

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Why not all seven?

We have supermarkets for alcohol Down Under. Does that count?

 

[Infinity]

Thanks.... I love being a foot note.

Just so you know, I've viewed your title reign as one of, if not, the top motivation for me to continue my reign... so, at least in my mind, you're no footnote. You're the reason it's happening.

Who else has been shooed out of a divison, lmao who is just told nope you can't do this or that. That's a fucking crock of shit, did you shoo crock away from the x belt after his first reign? Or his second? Would you tell Ty to move to the tag division.

What was there for me to do? Have an actual fucking fued, and not be thrown into random matches.

Honestly, if I lost the Mayhem Title tomorrow... and next week I see me in a re-match for the title, I'd be a little annoyed. After 9 months of holding the low card title... why the hell do I want to win it back? To beat the low card all over again? I'd have my sights set on the World Title, or Elite X title. Even a shot at the EurAsian title would miildly annoy me at this point... (no offense Miko), but I'd still embrace it over a Mayhem Title re-match. The only way I'd out do my original title reign would be to hold it for a year... and unless creative would want to give me EurAsian, Elite X, or World Title shots while I still held the Mayhem Title, a second reign would do nothing for me. Perhaps it's a shame you weren't given a program for the EurAsian Title after the Mayhem reign, but I have no idea what the plans/storylines in 2011 were like so it's possible the title was already involved in a program.

Just figured I'd give my 2 cents since I'm almost literally the only guy that would be able to relate to Phats & his Mayhem title reign.

I now want the WZCW equivalent of a blindfold match between Phatso and DC, where neither can read what the other wrote because they're on ignore

This literally made me "LOL."

Am I the only person that thought the blindfold match between Jake "The Snake" Roberts & "The Model" Rick Martel @ WrestleMania VII was actually good? The crowd was so hot and Jake knew exactly how to work them. I don't think I've ever seen a match with more crowd involvement... I mean, they were literally a part of the match.

Because I'm not writing 8 RPs, including Reynolds.

Plus three are parodies of WZCW characters. The one I've settled on is a loose interpretation of a character that was here until recently.

Bobby Adams


I'm really not sure how I feel about a rather... Exposing first RP, in which Bobby kind of breaks kayfabe wide open.

Actually, I know how I feel about it; I hate it. I don't hate the writing, because it's all well written. I don't even hate the story, it's pretty common but well done here. But I do hate how your RP basically just says, "it's all bullshit". I'm not the kind of guy that says breaking kayfabe kills the business, don't get me wrong. But when in segments, characters like:

• A person who thinks he's a robot.
• A person who thinks he's an alien
• Probably why I'm most pissed, a rhyming doctor who's here I purge the company of mental disorders.

All exist and thrive, both in the ring and backstage... You see why I disliked this so much? I can't feud with this character, and neither could many of the weirder characters, if the angle is that this is all not real, and we're nothing like the characters we portray in ring. And yes, I get that it's a different fed, but I don't think the light switch clicks the moment you enter WZCW, and it becomes real.

I'm probably being too harsh, because it's well written and the characters are likable. But man, I don't want to feud with Bobby Adams after this. And it's not because I don't like you as a writer and person. It's not even because I can't thinkfnoa good story, because I can. It's because if you're taking the shoot approach, my character, really all of our characters, get exposed

As good a place as any for a retort, I suppose.

I didn't really go for the shoot approach and nor do I plan to. What I did do, or at least try to do, was show just how corrupt that the company Adams was working for before was, how competitive the business was and most importantly drive a wedge between the friendship of two characters that will serve as the basis for every RP that comes after this.

Now, I understand that it comes off like a shoot but that's not the intention of it. Adams was soundly beaten in the ring both times, the only difference is that he chose to surrender the Championship the second time for a shot at something bigger, a sacrifice that any character in this Fed would do.

I understand that when you read it, it comes across as a "piercing the veil" sort of RP but that is not something that I am going to pursue. The character needed to have that sort of loss and challenge in his life to shape his future.

I DO NOT plan on being the guy who makes every RP:

Adams: I'm going to win because my opponent is an alien and since their is no way that aliens could be allowed to exist within a wrestling company, my opponent isn't real. So how can I possibly lose to something that isn't real?

And to think that I will is ridiculous, frankly. Whilst I appreciate the feedback, I feel as though you have taken a small message of the RP and twisted it to become something more sensational and tried to hold it against the character.

Once again, I DO NOT plan on making every RP a shoot and Adams is not a shoot character.

That's just an off-license, we have plenty of those...

Most of us have suffered losses that, in our eyes, should have never happened. Personally, I feel that FunKay & I should have never lost the tag team titles at the Lethal Lottery when we defended against Brothers in Arms. I understand that feeling but you've got to move on with everything and look for the future - no point in dwelling on the past.

I think that was the RP where the Brothers in Arms unknowingly helped a detective attempt to steal back his kids from his ex-wife. A pretty good one if I must say so myself.

I've honestly don't think I've ever really got cheated out of a match I should have one. In fact there are probably only like 2 or 3 losses where I actually thought I had a shot of winning.

I do feel bad for someone like Phatso who is constantly cheated out of wins week after week though. Clearly he should be undefeated, or close to it.

 

[Барбоса]

Would it be possible to make an addition to the entries in the NPC thread to highlight the formatting colours that should be used for the interviewers, GMs, announcers etc.?

 

[Ty Burna]

Is it too early for a beer?

 

[Барбоса]

Is it too early for a beer?

No such thing as too early.

 

[Ty Burna]

No such thing as too early.

Just what I wanted to hear. Now if only work would allow it...

 

[Miko]

Fuck work

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

That was a tremendously fun RP. I had no issues going down to that.

 

[Viola Moonlight]

Drinking is work.

 

[gd]

Yeah, that was probably a toss up if I remember correctly. I was honestly surprised to hold the belts so long with Hammond.

Now if me and Coco both managed to stick around for an extended period of time I'm pretty sure we would've held the titles for like 2 years straight.
