Re: Something New for Tension

This is all my opinion, so feel free to ignore it.

If you don't have any tension characters, why are you RPing in tension?

I used to do a lot of cross-over matches, making my tension girls go to friction, but I'm trying to cut down on that. To that end I'm writing Friction characters. I think cross overs shouldn't be constantly casually done.

Same reasoning in reverse, if they're tension characters they shouldn't consistently be in Friction match ups. IMO, cross over should be special occasions. Some special occasions might be arranged fights between famous or especially important wrestlers (Champ vs Champ, for example), to settle cross-brand rivalries, to promote special events, or something like that.

[quote="Tatyina":sd1qrt3y]the whole POINT is to SEPARATE Tension from Friction. If it's just going to be a bunch of Friction girls "doing Tension a favor" by showing up in Tension's stuff, then it defeats the whole purpose.

I see Tat's point, though I personally don't mind a bit if Friction girls do Tension a favor from time to time <img src=

I generally agree with you. Though, I personally believe that it would not change much if a bunch of members are brought to copy/paste their Friction characters up to Tension in order to arrange legitimate matches instead of crossroster matches.

I don't think so, if it happens every other match then at that point just merge them.

Have a women's league AFW and a mens league AFW, keep them in the same building but allow the women to opt out of mixed matches.

Whats the point of separating them?

I'm not advocating that, I'm just saying they might as well be merged if it gets constant.

EDIT: Double posting? :p

Remember the Friction vs Tension thing?

AKA a friction thing with a couple tension guys in some matches.

Thats why this thing is a little exciting, it's a pure tension idea.

Now people are suggestign adding Friction to the mix, I don't think that helps the idea.

This, coupled with a REAL PPV for Tension (though that might be a bitch to support due to lack of interest) could be very interesting.

The way I see it, Friction is Raw and Tension is Smackdown and were trying to avoid Smackdown not mattering as much and the creation of a Friction supershow starring everyone from tension so why bother.

and Friction vs Tension was like those Smackdown vs Raw team matches at that one ppv that I forget its name. I wanna say it was part of survivor series but it might have been its own PPV for a while. I really don't recall.

Anyway I'm gonna bow out of this conversation now. I'd like to think I eased some of the unneeded "tension" in this tension thread...see what I did there?

[size=85:3vrvllec]cuz tension and tension...

[size=50:3vrvllec]I'll shut up now.

I think that in order for there to be any real interest in Tension, it first has to be interesting.

As previously stated, I think I have an interesting-ish Tension dude in the making... why is Friction more interesting than Tension in your opinion, mouse?

by wrestleryu Tue Dec 10, 2013 7:04 pm

I'm ok if Friction is more interesting, but I'll keep posting mainly in Tension and F&F ;P
