I hope I haven't spoiled anyone's plans for The Black Cat and Bad Luck Bradley by taking them out while in Nightmare Ginzu mode. They were asking for it.

Just new NPCs for squashes and character development. Just remember that Jobbers have a great medical plan. They have to, considering how often they get beat up. Which means they can still show up next week. |

Booking Question:
Tommy End has two big matches on his plate - Challenging Mack & Red for the tag titles alongside Arizona, and facing Stanley in a grudge match. We've got the Crash Carnival PPV coming up on April 16th, so I'm hoping to get some input as to which of those two matches belongs on the PPV. I'm leaning toward Stanley vs. Tommy at the PPV so that Mack doesn't have to do double duty again, but I'll listen to what you think. The tag title match can be on one of the available Glorys prior to the PPV.

It's a tough decision as both are marquee matches.
From a scheduling standpoint, not having Mack and Tommy double up on the PPV makes the most sense, otherwise one of them would probably be in back to back matches on the card, e.g.
1. Tag Titles Match
2. Grudge Match
3. World Title Match
Even if you fluff it out with a KO Show or the like.
I assume the Stan/Tommy match is going to be some kind of gimmick match too?

I say ok on making the Stanley vs Tommy match a Crash Carnival thing. As for the gimmick, I think it should be played up as a Monster VS Monster match. Instead of calling it Stanley VS Tommy, call it Nightmare Ginzu vs Tommy. Cause their should be at least a 50% chance that sometime during the match Stanley will unleash his other persona to try to bring Tommy down. |

if we are to do that we could have a squash/jobber match on the main thread and say it's in between matches or we do have like three weeks and three or four guys available to build up another gimmick or grudge match such as me and buffalo

We can do the tag title match on the April 5/6 Glory. That's about two weeks away, and there's another episode of Glory before the PPV to give Mack and Tommy a break so that they're not doing two matches in the same week.
I just see the opportunity to have a big grudge match on the pay per view, while the tag title match is a good "TV main event" since there's no real story behind it.

I've been trying to add some stakes for the tag match too, but I agree that the Stanley/Tommy match is a better fit for big time pay per view.
Stanley and Tommy embodying a battle between good and evil is classic story telling. The mix of will Mack retain belts, will Red get Arizona back for his family or will Tommy keep his hold on the Franchise is a little more all over the place...but should still make for some good "TV".

A little help— I’m using “Namahage” as a placeholder for a better name for what’s going on with Arizona. Basically, as revealed in my last post, Arizona has been a bad guy all along without even him realizing it (after all, we’re all the heroes of our own stories). I know next to nothing of Eastern folklore, and in three minutes of internet research I saw these dudes pretending to be demons and used their name.
What would be an Oriental equivalent of the devil on your shoulder telling you to take the bad, but beneficial and easier, course of action?

What would be an Oriental equivalent of the devil on your shoulder telling you to take the bad, but beneficial and easier, course of action? I'm not much better versed but read a valuable insight: namely that the concepts of good/evil (angel/devil) are not used in many eastern traditions as actions are seen as karmic affected not by one temptation, or one malevolent force but by a complex and unknowable network of actions both good and bad that affect everything differently. Even after the fact, it's hard to call actions good/evil because their consequences are mysterious and unknowable. Maybe Arizona's being pushed to channel and recognize that he isn't the hero he has long assumed (no one is). Realizing that he's been most successful when he followed the path of power and self-interest could give him a reason to no longer being ashamed of it but to let it take the lead in his personality... |

In eastern religion, again based on what Red has posted every action and relationship is based on karma ties. Also, dead souls do not go to heaven. Everyone goes to the aisan hell, where the souls are purged of the evils they done during life (via torture by Oni) but don't remove karma ties.
So, basically good vs evil is more about paying for karma ties in one's past life, and not exactly angles and demons.
