Where's my money, Chad?
Here's an idea sort of playing off the one Gregg had a year or two ago.
For those who might remember, we were going to do a tag tournament called the Rick Ryconik Invitational (namesake is the 140 year old Polish dude who has the record for shortest reign as NFW World Champ). The idea was to randomly pair people up and have them compete for the Cup or Trophy or whatever.
Problem with tag teams right now is that everybody (myself included) seems too focused on their singles character to really put the effort into building a good team. Is that the case, or am I just crazy?
My idea is basically MINIMAL EFFORT REQUIRED. Seriously, the Rick Ryconik Cup, maybe the Zane Invitational or the Bob "Butterfingers" Ryder Manboy Invitational, is designed for people who want to have fun with teams without doing much more than burping.
So here's the actual idea: 8 teams, NO WEBSITE BIOS. Just reply to the official thread with your team name, combined weight, theme music, hometown, and finisher. Write a short sentence describing their gimmick. Example: "Two ex-cons who self-publish cookbooks because Harper-Collins keeps f*cking with them."
RP would be restricted to 1-Max, and at maximum 450 words. That's not even a page. The idea is just to get quick, no-pressure ideas for teams, and let people throw sh*t at the wall and have fun with it. And hopefully, we get one or two teams that the handler really takes to, that really catches on, and the winner of the tournament gets a tag title shot.
I will volunteer to write the entire thing, unless somebody else is itching to get involved. If so, that's cool. Results will be extremely shortformed. Like, two paragraphs at most. It can be it's own Brawl, or Katz/JN can throw it on Reloaded or an upcoming Brawl.
Also, let's get three totally random people to judge the RP. I'm talking people who haven't RP'd in forever who wouldn't mind reading some short RPs. People who come to mind: Ernie Garrett, Mike McNichols, Jason Martin (doubtful, but we'll see), or that dude from PTC who I tricked into thinking I was his friend from the old days who has now turned gay and wants him. Maybe we could even have public voting where everybody votes on a poll? No rigsies!
Thoughts? Katz, Jamar, Gregg, anyone? Feel free to add, subtract, or modify the above ideas. I want this to be something everybody can get on board with. The end goal is to get another team or two.
