Is anyone reading? Or at least interested in the work? Are we/am I "drawing"?

Or is this just a waste?

I'd say a whole allot of somebodies read the show.  By the time I got around to reading it, it was read 61 times.
Considering we're not dropping rp's every week, or even bi weekly, and the last show was a while ago, and there is only a handful of us that could be considered "active", i would call that a win.

As for the show it self.   It was good.   Solid.  I think it's safe to say that for the most part, we know what is going to happen on the show before it's posted when it comes to your own character(s), so maybe that cuts down on some surprises/upsets/butthurts when the results do finally come out.
Everyone who write stuff is telling the story they want to tell, we're all just reading along and seeing where it goes.

I've been thinking about the fed on and off during the week.  A couple of things that I kept coming back too were the following:

We need to define what the Gimnasio Nuevo Leon looks like.   I'm having a hard time picturing it in my mind.  Like, how big is it?  How many levels?  Is there levels of seating?  How many floor seats are there? Etc.   Do we even have a stage?   Ramp?  Where is the announce table?   Are they even at ring side?

I think we need a comedy like on screen character.   We have Nikki and Derrick, and both are serious.  We need someone that lightens them.   Many moons ago, I used to use Nanook as my "heel" announcer.  He disliked all of the baby faces, thought the bad guys were always getting the shaft, but, Nanook ended up being the punchline most of the time when he and Howdy were calling a match.  I kinda modeled him after Bobby the Brain, but with more, stupid silly thoughts?  He would run his mouth and eventually someone would be like "Listen here buddy!" and Nanook would be like "No!  Don't hit me!"  We need someone to dumb down the show.

And lastly.  It might be time to create "efed time".   What is "efed time" you might be wondering?
Our shows are up to 4-5 weeks apart, which is creating a ton of space when you start laying stuff out.   
Like, for example. 
Joe and Nanook.   Last show, Bester left Joe and he's all buddy buddy with Nanook now.   A "month" later,  Joe and Nanook are once again bitching at one another and in walks Sutton, who challenges Bester via Nanook.   That match won't happen for another "month".   Now, (Spoiler Alert) at that match between Sutton and Bester, something is going to happen which is going to lead to both Sutton and Bester each having a singles match in a timed event, but that won't happen at the show after their "match" takes place, that's 2 months after that.  Then based on the results of these timed matches, it will finally lead Bester v Sutton "rematch", which, won't happen for another 2 months.

In our time, that is like 6-7 months. (Best case)  That is like, a long drawn out event and unless I write this down somewhere, I'm going to forget it.  Plus all of this is happening on PPV/IPPV/Steaming on the App like events.   And neither guy is really making a case to have a match against someone else where they could then be in the mix for some sort of title.  Or a feud with someone else.

But, what if, all of that takes place in the span of 6 weeks in "efed time" or rather "WW LLC Time"?  Why can't we just say at the end of the show, "We'll see you next week!"  Instead of a next month?  Everything we do in efedding is fake, but time never is.   IDK if you ever noticed that before.   If we're making shit up, why don't we just make up our time lime of when these shows are happening?

This is just popped in my mind.  A little radical idea.
Every card we've had has had roughly 3 matches on them.
Why don't we treat them as 3 separate Main events?  The one card we do in our time, is like a "TV Taping" for the next 3 weeks of TV?   
If you're not in the main event for that "week", then you get to write a "match", against a roster of jobbers not called jobbers (I'm sure we all can very easily whip up a roster of guys and gals for everyone to use) and either prior to or after your match, then you can cut your promo/ expand the storyline you have going on.   
This way, on one card in "Our time", we can have 3 weeks worth of advancing a story in "efed time".   
The card would have to be posted in a way to show everyone that this first section is Show Name for 1/5/20, the next would be the 1/12 show and lastly, the 1/19 show.

IDK, just some random thoughts I have.

[@whirlwind_LLC]

I think I see what you're saying, and lions road did something akin to this too. Basically they were "ob tour" where all the matches were enhancement except the main event (or even the main could be enhancement too really), and these matches led to the end of the tour where they'd do the PPV/blowoff.

This actually makes sense, and I can see how these standalone PPVs you're not able to get things across like you want to do, without having a show that's a thousand pages long and that's not feasible.

At the same time, doing one show, regardless how well laid out it is, in the span of a month, isn't a formula for success. I need to produce more content to keep handlers engaged, and that's what I'm whiffing on right now. With my work schedule however, I'm not sure how confident I am in committing to such a schedule.

I agree though that a change in workload needs to happen.

[@whirlwind_LLC]

I think I'm gonna fix up the formula leading up to Chain Lightning. I'm gonna think over it at work tonight and decide what I want to do.

[John]

Keep in mind, enhancement matches don't need to be fully written out. A "summary" would be fine. And that is something that the handler could tackle.

I loved this show, and I'm gonna get you Pendragon, yo that flash pin was clutch! Next time buddy, you ain't getting up from this KO punch 😂😂
