FINAL VOTE



So we will run AEW after all. :regd08:

First day at the office:

This is our company



Right now we dont have sponsors, a development territory or a training camp.

First decisions
Raise the risk level of our promotion?
If yes how much
More risk means more type of matches and segments. But it will make it harder to get sponsors

Raise production values?
Our assistant Sophie tell us that we need to raise the productions values to 70 % ASAP.
These are our options


keep our merchandising/advert budget? Finance dude tells us that our ad budget should increase to 70 %
MERCH: One point equals 200.000 dollars
AD: One point equals 100.000 dollars

OPEN DEVELOPMENT/TRAINING FACILITIES? yes/no

:blastu:For a quick game i will take only 5 votes in every option

~Everybody wants to be a cat~
~Because a cat's the only cat~
~Who knows where its at~

1) Keep risk value the same. Moxley needs to be able to do some hardcore wrestling like he did last weekend since it was a stellar main event and all of Moxley's matches have the wrestling fan world buzzing, but we don't need to be at light tube levels. We're on cable for god's sake. 68% should be a good sweet spot for the moment.

2) Raise Production by 6%. With TNT helping defray our production costs we've come a long way already in putting on a slick, modern and high quality product that visually competes with WWE, but we need improvements. Double or Nothing and Fyter Fest both featured botches in music and entrances, sound balancing, camera work, and direction (particularly camera cuts). If we're going to make a good first impression when our TV starts, we need to have those issues ironed out!

3) Raise Advertisement to 70%. AEW isn't just a T-shirt company! For all the jokes the Bucks put out on twitter about it, and as much of a lifeblood as merch sales are to a wrestling company, we're on the verge of a full-scale public launch. As enthused as our fans are about the product based on the ticket demand for All Out, we haven't managed to sell out Fight for the Fallen yet, and to me that smells like a failure to get the product's name out there to "average," fans. During the leadup to our television debut, we need as much advertisement as we can get so AEW is the word on everyone's tongue! Once we've settled in, we can rebalance and move back toward merchandise, but for now, lets go ALL IN on ads.

4) Don't open a Camp or Developmental. There's merit in planning for the future, but right now we have a LOT of young talent on our roster that we can develop already. Every wrestler on the indy scene is eyeing us as the new hot thing, and we have the cash to lock them down. There is major unrest in WWE, meaning we could be flooded with top-tier talent with national recognition at any time. Let the training and development of new wrestlers fall to smaller promotions and privately owned schools for now. They're an expense we don't need this early in the game and given the pool of talent we already have to draw from, both in and out of the company.

Production values up i don't really care how much but at least 1% increase to get us to the "recommended" level.

merch/ad budget the same

Open training/development, because IIRC the training camp won't actually give us anything for a year so the sooner it opens the sooner we can start working with homegrown talent. Development is also nice to have at this level to build up workers.

Kreizman - Incredibly prolific Soap Opera writer who won a daytime emmy for his run on Guiding Light, and was head writer for WWE from the build to Mania 29 through to Summerslam 2013. Seems like his career is a history of contrasting highs and lows.

Brent - co-wrote The Stone Cold Truth and was director of publications for WCCW, UWF, NWA, WCW, and WWE. Lot of experience in many different promotions across the business, including the promotions we're looking to take the mantle of, so that has value.

Pavone - Extremely prolific writer with a LOT of tv and minor film credits under his belt, including an episode of Prison Break S1, and was a consulting writers in WWE from '09 to '11. Pretty dark period to be associated with, but the man has experience in a LOT of writing styles. Real journeyman.

Ypsantis - vouched for Santino when Vince didn't want to give him a shot, but was also decided to feel betrayed by Heyman when he left in 06 after December to Dismember instead of wishing him well like the rest of the writers. Seems like a personality we could do without.

Goldberg - Director of Women's World of Wrestling for two years, and promoter and owner of New England Championship Wrestling. An indy sensibility and experience with women's wrestling has some value, but might be too smalltime for our needs.

Fasano - No info available

----

I vote to Hire DeJoseph and Kreizman for our writing team.

And I'm down to Hire Eric Bischoff as on-screen talent. Lets get him on a 1 Year Contract, but no PPA. Just a standard salary.

~Everybody wants to be a cat~
~Because a cat's the only cat~
~Who knows where its at~

1) Create an AEW World Championship, an AEW Women's Championship, an AEW Tag Championship, and an AEW Women's Tag Championship

This is a no-brainer. Since a big part of the company is going to be pushing equality between the rosters but Mr. Khan has made it clear he is against intergender wrestling, it's important that the women have equal representation in the divisions to the men, which means that since we know we're going to have a tag division to go with our singles division, we must include a Women's Tag division.

I don't believe the company needs a midcard title at this time. While I am personally a big believer in specialist divisions that operate under unique rules (Trios divisions (under Lucha no-tag rules), Openweight divisions in feds where weight classes are pushed, Hardcore divisions, TV titles, 24/7 divisions, or Lucha Underground's Gift of the Gods title all being great examples) I think for now the roster is small enough that we can focus on our four bread-and-butter divisions and expand later.

2) Replace Marvez on commentary, but keep him around as backstage interview guy. If available, get Excalibur.

Excalibur has proven himself to be a brilliant head for the commentary desk as our first PPVs, and he deserves to be kept on as we move into the company's premiere.

Based on the screen I assume we're limited to a two-man desk? If so drop JR and hire Punk for Color Commentary Ask if he's willing to wrestle as a special attraction while working in the slot, so we can pull him out for an occasional Tazz/Lawler thing.

3) Schedule AEW All Out for the end of August

This should be our last show before weekly TV starts, so lets make it a good-un.

PPV Name Ideas

When Eric Bischoff comes out on the first Tuesday Night Dynamite, I want him to announce AEW Bash At The Beach. Lets use those trademarks Cody sniped.
