Just remember no one will care about your character if you don't. This is a great quote Mannie Thank you. |

Too just repeat exactly what the others have in their feedback, I have to agree by saying that Segments are needed from pretty much everybody on the whole roster. Without them shows don't flow and it makes the brand look weak, If we want our characters to be taken seriously we have to first take what we do with out brand seriously. It's the place for a some people like me to reinvent themshelves or for new rpers to grow into something special and unique. So even its a few paragraphs, just put a little thought into and the results will show. Just a few months I was having a hard time adjusting to the new level of competetion in APW, and that was discouraging but trust me if I say that it motivated the hell out of me. I was willing do what it took to get notice, so i went against my usual lazy routine of having the GM's forcefully writing into the show with segments but too actually being a part of the show with my own input. I went from feeling out of place to North American champion, take the time with your character it works. Just remember no one will care about your character if you don't. Yea if Mannie can do it, ANYONE can. Seriously though, that last line is so true, before, I couldn't give a rats ass about Mr. 420 Young Mannie. It was bland, predictable, and law breaking (even going as far as bringing a blunt onto national TV!) He took a step back, re-evaluated his positioning and made a change for the better. I still don't get if he's a full heel or not, hopefully being on Asylum will help him flesh that out a bit, but we have to see. Again, guys, it should be noted that anything that's said in the feedback is meant to be constructive, I don't rant about something just to be an asshole. Terry and Evan put a lot of work into making Meltdown their show the same way Rebel did with it, and the same way Rebel is making OD his rather than just keep what Jeff had. I don't want to see that effort suffer. At the same time, I want to see everyone succeed in APW, and I'm basically screaming what it takes to succeed. To succeed you gotta get some opportunities and to get them you gotta show you want to help make a better product. Another way is to write matches, you maybe shit, but you'll always be shit if you don't write a match and find out what worked and what didn't. And don't be intimidated by everyone hoping on the match writing thread, I believe, dunno if I'm write abotu this or not, that brand members have say to their show's matches. Example, if I were to take a match for Meltdown and i'm the only non-meltdown guy doing it, and someone wants to write the match I took, I get bumped. I could be wrong, if some, someone correct me with Gene Wilder. |

Yeah tj I'm aware that you're just being constructive and its appreciated. I'm not bitching or attacking you on a personal level. Its just legit difficult tofind the time to. Contribute in the ways that I already do. Now you have an excellent point in just writing a segment while doing the rp. 2 birds with one stone and when I work on my rp Friday I will give that a try.
Also its not really warrens character to be involved in that stuff. When I first debuted the character and we attacked people backstage and shit we had segments for the unfortunate sons. When I split into my own I took on a shoot persona of someone who hated the theatrics of the business.
However the character being more tweener/face since my return has allowed him to embrace the business and its theatrics. My latest rp was the first to actually feature what I would describe as a traditional wrestling vignette.
Furthermore I feel like there are great similarities between trevors character and mine but we are polar opposites all the same. I'm excited to work with him again and I can see lots of material that may be too much for just one rp and need to be continued in segments.
I fullyy appreciate the work that goes into these shows. I have ran feds and written many matches in my day. The reason I don't now is issues with time.
In fact if I'm ever caught bringin my laptop to work, which is generally where I do my graphics id be fired on the spot. I'm that dedicated that I risk my job and familys well being to rp and do gfx for apw.

I didn't see anything from Cid Phoenix, Warren Peace, The Natural Born Killaz, Evan McDonald, who I believe has been around for 2 drafts now, Robina Hood, Niobe. You don't get title shots if you don't write segments, really look at whose been getting shots, it's people that are not only talented enough, but also give to the show, and you sure as hell don't get off Meltdown if you don't write segments. I said this the last time I did feedback: I did plan to write a couple of segments for the last show (one with Evan and one by myself)...but in the end I didn't have the time to get back online neither did I have the time to write one myself.
But, to be exact, I actually don't want to "get off" Meltdown since, if it wasn't for Evan PMing me on my first day as Robina, I wouldn't of had much of a character in the first place...and I'm personally enjoying my time on Meltdown too much to consider leaving. |
