Summer Splash 2015!

I know that all makes sense to you, but I'm not personally interested in any of the things you mentioned. I'm not interested in the change or scenery or match-on-a-thing gimmicks.

And that's all fine, but then shouldn't it not matter to you where this takes place? If your match is just going to be a standard match in an arena, it seems that it doesn't matter if it's in Tokyo or Alaska or Egypt or the bottom of the ocean.

The rolling green hills and mountains were the back drop for the last AV which included several polar bear style matches featuring low clothing matches.

I don't see anything especially groundbreaking tbh, plus the vast majority of matches will be in an indoor arena, unless it's someplace that would normally have an outdoor one, which northern climes would not.

I don't feel that the comparison between Switzerland and Alaska is very apt. The way you're talking about Alaska it's as if we're going to be going there in the winter, which isn't the case. 65 degrees is pretty nice, and (since this is our RP and we can do what we want) we can easily say that it's 70 or 75 degrees the day the fight takes place. No need for polar bear stuff. No need for it to be cold—it is Summer Splash, after all. It's just a really nice backdrop and a nice culture.

I know Alaska is a longshot, but I feel a lot of the arguments against it are not apt. The only one I feel is really legitimate is the fact that the United States has hosted Summer Splash two years in a row so far. I totally get that.

I didn't say it'd be in a standard match in an arena. ò.0

I'm saying that my criteria are different from yours. Some people do AFW like you do, others don't. Just don't assume that you're unquestionably right about one thing because it meets your own criteria.

...Atlantis?

Anyone?

No?

Okay.

Now I just may be a humble intergalactic rooster/southern attorney, but doesn't that work the other way around as well? No matter where we go there will always be inspiration for kinky matches, so Alaska isn't all that crucial in that regard. We usually have room for both types of matches anyway. Professional and of the gimmick variety.

I assumed that it was a standard match in an arena because, I mean, that is what you usually do. Again, I definitely mean no offense by that, and it is totally cool and all, but I felt it was a fair assumption for me to make. Sorry about that.

I think the second part of your post isn't really accurate, seeing as how I've already shown I'm open to other locations. I'm just passionate about advocating for Alaska because I feel it is something really unique for everyone, regardless of what criteria they choose. The backdrop is lovely whether it's for a strap-on hentai fight on a mountain in moose costumes or for a standard match.

Last I'll say on this, so I can ditch this thread before I get some warning by the higher ups to keep my mouth shut.


Gimmick matches should not fill a card, nor should the location of the PPV alone be the deciding factor of every match and match type on a card.

A couple gimmick matches are fine, for fun filler or for adding spice to a particular match or story, provided the ideas of the gimmicks are good.

You've yet to suggest any good ones.

bye tai nice seeing yoru heel side * waves bye* and sadly I agree we need standerd matches as well as gimmicks and i vote mexico now

Nearly all pro wrestling matches in the history of the world have taken place in an arena of some kind, and yet there are so many match types, gimmicky and otherwise.

Just because you don't like my bare-bones gimmick ideas doesn't mean they aren't good. It's not like you'd be competing in them, anyway. And, plus, as should have been obvious, they are very early concepts.

And I already talked about how I suggested four potential gimmicks for a PPV with twelve spots for matches, so they would by no means be filling the card.

Ultimately, you're just sort of retreading ground we've already covered with this post. I definitely understand your concerns, and, for the fourth time, I am open to other options in terms of hosting. I don't think you can fault me for passionately arguing for my chosen host site.

At this point, though, it seems like we've gotten to a weird place where a lot of posts seem to be disregarding the importance of where this thing takes place. And that's fine. Maybe Tat should just pick the location and we can be done with it.
