A RANKING SYSTEM

A Ranking System

I propose a ranking system to legitamize the #1 contender for each division sorta like college football.

Since the wrestlers are there to compete for the championship titles. Thanks to Vertigolowe's tracking...we can start off with a creditable base for the ranks.

The only things I would need to know are...

-How many different types of belt/divisions is going to be active?

-Who belong in which divisions?

See, I don't like this, because I feel it's limiting to people.

I don't want to sit there and have to 'build up enough wins' or some BS to get a Heavyweight title shot. I want one whenever it's convenient--and frankly that should be between three people--the booker, the challenger and the champion.

If LIFTOR suddenly starts to suck in the ring and lose a lot, now he suddenly can't compete for the NMHC Heavyweight title. I...Don't like that. LIFTOR's meant to be a huge draw and a Heavweight competitor--win/loss records shouldn't have an effect on that.

Look at Mick Foley. He put over the 90s WWF stars a 'lot.' Yet he was almost always close to the title picture.

I also do not like this idea at all. I prefer a much more organic style of booking that recognizes a player's role-playing ability. Otherwise, someone could come in with an 'unbeatable' character and role-play like sh*t. There needs to be a way to keep those types of players out of the title picture until their role-playing catches up with their character's abilities. It would make no sense to have that character be at the top of the food chain, but under a ladder system he would be.

First off,

O'6 - sorry to break it to ya buddy but LIFTOR is a jobber both in the ring and out of the ring...his gimmick is pretty typical and dull...sorry someone has to say it.

Secondly,
Ranking System can also be done just as a guideline for the #1 contendership but not an actual ruling.

Third,
It wouldnt take that long for a last ranked CAW to get the title shot. All he has to do is beat the #1 contender (2nd ranked in the roster) and thus becomes the #1 contender. The former #1 contender will become 3rd ranked and everyone else shift down. How that last ranked CAW get to challenge the 2nd ranked CAW is all up to RP and booking.

Fourth and Final point,
if you really care about RP'ing, the title should not be all that important. What is important for RP'ing is the RP'ing itself and not some commodity such as the title. Just as Foley loved to perform more than winning the match. But the RP'ing feud should be your ultimate concentration. The Booker than base on the RP ability of the player to decide to give him a push whenever the time is right. An example would be...HBK vs HOGAN was a much bigger even than Cena vs Jericho at Summerslam 05.
People should really focus on building great fued then the belt!

So while having everyweek being a Fatal 4-way...or the constant run in and beating up of the champion repetition... People should feud with their respective ranks to build their CAW's gimmick up -- win or lose should not matter. The booker should/will give the CAW a shot at becoming the #1 contender or even a shot of the title itself when that CAW is proven to be able to be a great champion.

...Cheers.

This is out of line, if you want to make a comment like this, make it to O6 offline or keep the comment to yourself or role-play it somehow.

This goes for everyone here. If you feel like a character sucks or doesn't belong, remember that opinions are just like a**holes, everybody's got one. Come to me if you want to discuss a character but DO NOT attack a character in a public forum.

Edit I've been told that this is an inside joke, but it still has the potential to blow up if the target of the joke doesn't take it as such.

LIFTOR might be a jobber, but Sean Lonewolf has been 'Coming Soon' for five months.
