Critic of the Dawn's ROH Rules

Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 01/18/05 at 06:52:23 It probably no secret around here that I'm a big fan of Ring of Honor - in my opinion it's one of the best wrestling products out there at the moment. It's also not a secret that I'm a fan of rulesets in TNM. When done well, they allow a great deal of freedom while still giving you a general direction to take things in. My NDW circuit used Rick's extremely popular Old School Ruleset up until I ran out of them, then went on hiatus while I worked on the project that would eventually become LIW. If you didn't know, LIW is based on a ruleset of my creation that's based fairly heavily on Ring of Honor's past cards - since there have only been 50 or so since ROH's founding, doing this isn't an impossible task. Anyway, as I run LIW, after every six cards I plan to post the rules I used here so that others can enjoy them as much as I have. I won't get ahead of where I am, however, because doing so would ruin the surprise of what's to come. For those who like to do such things, feel free to post these rules on any TNM websites you run, just attribute them to me please. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to voice them. ***** 0 - Getting started 0.1 - To start, you'll need to hire a roster of 20 wrestlers. Hire the three with the highest combination of Workrate and Charisma to 12 card contracts. The rest should be signed to 6 card contracts. Note that because these rules are for an indy fed, your roster will probably be fairly fluid at first. 0.2 - For the first year of your company's existence, you will be having one show a month. Thus, assuming you have Tweakcirc, the card multiplier should be set to 1. 0.3 - From time to time, the rules may require you to bring in a specific worker who is not under contract. Assuming the rules indicate that this is a temporary deal, you should simply bring them in using the ~ key. 0.4 - You should always attempt to maintain at least 20 workers under contract. If your roster drops under this point, hire more to 6 card contracts until you're back where you need to be. 0.5 - You'll frequently be bringing in outside workers to perform for you. If you're given the opportunity to choose who to bring in, it will specify whether you can keep them or not. In the case of workers brought in with the m key, you can choose to hire them unless otherwise specified. You don't have to keep them around if they don't fit the feel of your circuit, however. 0.6 - You will start off with 2 titles - A Heavyweight Title and a Tag Team Title. Several shows will pass before you determine the champions, however. Later, you'll be adding a second belt, but it won't be for quite some time. 0.7 - Once you get into your second year and onward, you will occasionally run a "double shot," which consists of two shows in one week. When this is indicated, any wrestlers who no-show the first event should be considered unavailable for the second as well. 1 - Your First Show 1.1 - You need to start things off with a bang. A heel tag team has made their way to the ring before the show starts and is causing some kind of trouble for some reason. Solve the problem by sending out your hardest hitting babyface tag team to face them in an impromptu tag team match. 1.2 - One of your top young talents will be facing off against your best available high flyer who isn't in the main event in a singles match. Take this opportunity to put on a hell of a match and introduce the crowd to one of your future stars. 1.3 - Do your best to hilight your tag team division by holding a second tag team match. You should bring in a wrestler not currently under contract as a special guest referee for this match. After the match, the losers should take out their frustrations on the referee. 1.4 - Because your promotion is just getting off the ground, you need all the help you can get. Bring in a star from another promotion for one night only and host an important match between them and a rival. This is a one-night only appearance for both wrestlers. 1.5 - In your main event, put the three wrestlers you signed to 12 card contracts in a triangle match against each other. Make it clear that these are three of the top stars in the industry, and build up the fact that there is a growing rivalry between them. Note that this should NOT be an elimination match. 1.6 - All of your wrestlers should work matches this week in an attempt to impress the fans. 2 - Round Robin 2.1 - Your first show was a major success, but you need to show the fans that what they saw wasn't just a fluke. Thus, it's imperative to put on the best show that you can. 2.2 - The loser of last week's main event was understandably frustrated by their defeat. Thus, he's issued a challenge to the other two members to face him in singles matches. The other two decided that this was a great idea, and challenged each other as well. Thus, tonight you'll have a Round Robin Tournament between the three top wrestlers in your promotion to determine which one is the best. One of the three matches in the Round Robin should open the show, one should be somewhere towards the middle, and the final one will be your main event of this show. 2.3 - Bring in two new tag teams with the m key and have them face each other. You may sign the winners of this match if you so desire. The losers should not appear again any time soon. 2.4 - Hold a rematch of the tag team contest in rule 1.3, this time with one of your standard referees. 2.5 - Hold a Triangle Tag Team match in an attempt to continue to show off your strong tag team division. You may make this an elimination match if you wish, but you don't have to. 2.6 - You should have a total of 21 wrestlers competing on this show including the mystery wrestlers, etc. 3 - Giving Appreciation 3.1 - Continue to build your tag team division by starting things off with a Triangle Tag Team Match - in this case, it should not be an elimination match. Two of the teams in this match should be the teams from rule 1.1, the third can be anyone you choose. 3.2 - Have the young up and comer from 1.2 face off against a mystery wrestler brought in with the m key. After the match, tease tension between the up and comer and a wrestler not presently under contract at ringside. 3.3 - Hold a triangle match between someone who won their match at your first show, the person they defeated, and someone one of them faced on the second show. 3.4 - Have the winner of the main event from your first show face off against a new wrestler signed for a 12 month contract. This new talent has been making waves in the industry, and will hopefully become a major player in your promotion. 3.5 - The wrestler turned referee from rule 1.3 has returned with a partner, and is looking for a tag team match. Sign both him and his partner to 6 card contracts and give them the match they want. 3.6 - The loser of your first main event is also in singles competition tonight - bring in a new wrestler with the m key, and tease an alliance between them after the match. 3.7 - Hold a Four Corners match between four of your wrestlers. One of them should be the remaining wrestler from the first show's main event. 3.8 - Finally, the star you brought in for rule 1.4 was so impressed by your fledgeling promotion that he has agreed to return for one more show. Give him the main event slot he deserves. Team him up with the high-flyer from rule 1.2, and have them face your most exciting tag team together. Once again, this star is making a one night only appearance, and will not be returning after this appearance. 3.9 - Your entire roster should work tonight's show, as you want to take advantage of the visiting star's fame to make as much of an impact as possible. 4 - Heavyweight Title Tournament, Night 1 4.1 - Tonight you are going to host a tournament to determine who will advance to fight for your Heavyweight Title next month. 16 men will enter, but only 4 will advance to next month's show, where they will compete in a Four Corners Elimination Match to determine your first Heavyweight Champion. 4.2 - Your first match should pit the wrestler who lost night 1's main event but was not pinned against a wrestler brought in with the m key. 4.3 - Your second match should feature 2 of the most exciting workers you have under contract facing off against each other. The goal here is to put on a hell of a match while determining which one should advance. 4.4 - In your third first round match, bring a wrestler in with the m key to face the young up and comer from rule 1.2. Once again, tease tension between the up and comer and the unsigned wrestler at ringside from 3.2. 4.5 - For the fourth match, bring in 2 foreign wrestlers to face each other. While touring, they heard about your promotion and want an opportunity to make an impact. They can be from any part of the world you like, but both of them will be making one-night only appearances unless one advances to next month's show. If he does, sign him to a 12 month contract. 4.6 - For the fifth match, the winner of night 1's main event will be facing off against someone with a poor win-loss record, preferably someone who has yet to earn a victory. The frequent loser is hoping to make a name for themself at the expense of your high level talent, while your main eventer is hoping that this will be an easy victory. 4.7 - For the sixth match, the high flyer that teamed with the visiting superstar in last week's main event will face the wrestler who lost his match in rule 3.3. 4.8 - In the seventh first round match, the loser of week 1's main event (the one who was pinned, forced to submit, or DQed) will face the wrestler who lost but wasn't pinned in rule 3.3. 4.9 - In your last first round match, the debuting star from 3.4 will face a rival making a one night only appearance. You won't see this wrestler again any time soon unless he advances to next month's card. If he does, sign him to a 6 month contract. 4.10 - Your tag teams are feeling neglected what with all the focus on the singles division, and feel that your promotion needs tag team titles as well. Have a promo featuring at least 2 tag teams claiming to be the best in your promotion. 4.11 - Just four more matches to go. In your first second round match, the winner of 4.3 will face off against the winner of 4.5, with the winner of this match qualifying for the Elimination Match next month. 4.12 - Next, the winner of 4.2 will face the winner of 4.4. Once again, the winner of this match will advance and compete for the Heavyweight Title next month. 4.13 - The winner of 4.6 will face the winner of 4.7 in a second round match. Be sure to mention that someone seems to have a vested interest in seeing one of these competitors lose. Again, the winner of this match will advance to compete for the Heavyweight Title at your next show. 4.14 - In your final match for the evening, the winner of 4.8 will face the winner of 4.9. The winner of this match will be the final competitor for your Four Corners Elimination Match next month for your Heavyweight Title. 4.15 - Only the 16 men in the tournament should wrestle this evening. 5 - Heavyweight Title Tournament, Night 2 5.1 - Start things off this week with a singles match pitting one of your lower card workers against someone brought in with the m key for one night only. 5.2 - If he hasn't advanced into the Title Match tonight, team your Frequent Loser from 4.6 up with another wrestler and have them face the team that made their debut in rule 2.3 (assuming they're still around). 5.3 - One of the feuds in your promotion is really heating up. Team one of the workers with the wrestler brought in for the tournament in rule 4.2 (or his opponent if this wrestler advanced), and one with someone already under contract. 5.4 - Have your up and comer from rule 1.3 face someone who didn't wrestle in last month's tournament in singles action if he didn't make it into the finals. After the match, have a confrontation between the up and comer and the wrestler watching at ringside. 5.5 - The team which debuted in rule 3.5 wants some kind of hardcore gimmick match against the team that originally attacked the man who started out as a referee for you. Grant this request so they can get some revenge. 5.6 - The new wrestler from 3.4 is apparently very popular, and has asked you to sanction an important match for him - quite possibly with another promotion's title involved. Grant this request and present a triangle match with his two opponents making one night only appearances. If he is in tonight's main event, then give this spot to the wrestler he defeated in the second round last week. 5.7 - Hold a 6 man tag team match featuring wrestlers who aren't otherwise occupied. 5.8 - Build up a singles feud in your circuit by holding a singles match between the two participants. 5.9 - In your main event, the four men who advanced in last month's tournament will face off against each other in a Four Corners Elimination Match, with the last man standing becoming your first Heavyweight Champion. Assuming it isn't him, the loser of month 1's main event is furious at this outcome. Build up the tension that exists between his tag team and the champion as you close the show. 5.10 - Your entire roster should work this show, as it's the most important one you've put on thus far and you want to give new fans a good taste of what you're all about. 6 - First Title Defense 6.1 - For your first match, have your high flier from 1.2 face off against a wrestler who normally competes in tag team matches. After the match, have the loser issue a challenge to your champion. Your champion responds, but don't run an actual match. Simply note that he quickly overwhelms his already battered opponent. 6.2 - Have the partner of the tag team wrestler from the first match team up with the exciting tag team from rule 3.8 in a six man tag team match against 2 workers from your roster and one brought in with the m key. These three workers will form the basis of a new midcard stable in your promotion. 6.3 - Have a match between the winner of the match in 5.8 and a jobber from your circuit. Following the match, the man he's been feuding with will come out and challenge him to a match right here and right now to blow off the feud. Book this match as well. 6.4 - The feud referenced in rule 5.3 continues to heat up. Have the two wrestlers face off in a singles match this month, but be sure to indicate that the outcome has settled nothing by having the winner beat the loser senseless after the match. 6.5 - Hold a singles match between two wrestlers brought in with the m key. Sign the winner to a 6 month contract, while the loser will not appear again. 6.6 - Have one of your top tag teams face the pairing of the worker from 5.1 and a partner from your roster - the wrestler brought in for rule 3.2 if he's available. After the match, tease dissention inside the new team. 6.7 - Your up and comer from 1.2 has finally convinced your promotion to sanction a match between himself and the wrestler who has been a thorn in his side for months. The challenger will eventually sign a contract with you, but for now this is a one night only appearance. 6.8 - In your main event, your champion will make his first title defense. If your champion is not the wrestler brought in for rule 3.4, make him the challenger this week. If he is, make this title match a rematch from rule 3.4. Following the match, your champion receives a challenge from someone eliminated in the first round of the tournament who would have faced the champ in the second round had they advanced. Have your champion accept the challenge and promise to put the title on the line next month. 6.9 - Again, have your entire roster work tonight's show. CONTRACT TIME - A lot of contracts should be coming up for review after this card. Due to your roster beginning to solidify, sign 10 of your workers to 12 month contracts and release 1 wrestler (in addition to any who choose not to resign), with the others signed to 6 month contracts. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
rey619	Posted on 01/19/05 at 11:37:54 Interesting stuff. Don't have the time to start a new circuit right now, but if you keep it coming I'll definetely give it a try some day :)
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 01/19/05 at 15:17:08 At the rate I've been putting releasing cards, months 6 through 12 should probably be available in 3 weeks to a month. Thanks for the interest. Can't wait to see what someone else does with the rules, both because I'm curious and because it will make Ryan cry. ;D Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
americamamushi	Posted on 01/20/05 at 01:37:19 Eric, I think I found a slight mistake. Rule 4.9 states "In your last first round match, the debuting star from 3.8 will face a rival making a one night only appearance. You won't see this wrestler again any time soon unless he advances to next month's card. If he does, sign him to a 6 month contract." But rule 3.8 doesn't have a debuting wrestler. The wrestler that works the match match that is not already under contract is there for one night only.
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 01/20/05 at 05:14:12 Ah! Good eye! Thanks for pointing that out. It should say 3.4 there. Let me just... there we go. Fixed. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Justin	Posted on 02/03/05 at 17:51:44 is it close to time for you to put out the next set of these rules? they really make for some interesting matches
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/03/05 at 20:23:13 I'll start putting them out every 3 cards I run rather than every 6 if you like - it'd certainly speed things up a touch. That way, 3 new cards worth of rules should be posted in a few days. Thanks for your interest. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
rey619	Posted on 02/03/05 at 20:32:00 I've been toying with an idea of using your rules as well, just can't seem to get it started. Do you recommend any sort of tweaking in tweak circuit? RoH matches are generally longer and with more moves than WWE, maybe this should be reflected in the Time Progression / Hit factor boxes? Any suggestions?
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/04/05 at 02:49:06 I use everything at the default setting, with time limits, heel tactics, pushes, etc tweaked to taste. While these rules are based on ROH, you don't need to emphasize the same things that ROH made a name doing to make the rules work for you. If you are going for something with an ROH feel, I'd advise simply using a lot of guys with technical, hardcore, and high flying skills, and possibly setting the average match length to 9 or 10. In LIW it remains at the default 7, but I generally book main event quality matches to run a bit longer. One thing I'd advise trying is using a random roster. Both NDW and LIW have been created using this method, and they've resulted in interesting circuits full of guys who almost never get used (Lash LeRoux, the Harris Twins, Alex Wright, etc). The rules start you out with your best workers in the main event slot, but as time progresses it moves away from that and gives you more input (especially if you run booked). Who you push will obviously be affected by the sort of circuit you're running. Finally, if something in these rules doesn't fit what you're planning, ignore the rule and do what you need to do. I've done so several times already, and the LIW product has been stronger for it. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/06/05 at 06:24:34 Rules for shows 7-9: 7 - Tag Team Title Tournament 7.1 - Start this month's show off with a confrontation between the two feuding wrestlers who faced each other in rule 6.4. Have the loser of the match challenge the winner to a Streetfight later tonight. 7.2 - Tonight you will host a tag team tournament to crown your first tag team champions. This will be a basic 8 team elimination tournament. For the tournament's first match, have the alliance of the wrestler who was pinned in your first main event and the wrestler brought in for rule 3.6 facing off against your most exciting tag team. 7.3 - For the second match of the tournament, bring in a foreign tag team of your choice. This will be a one-night appearance unless they end up winning the tournament. Have them face off against the team from rule 6.6 which you teased dissent in during last month's card. 7.4 - Following the match, one member of the dissent filled team challenges the other to an immediate singles match to try to resolve their problems. Grant their challenge and let them have it out. 7.5 - For the third match of your tournament, have one of your main eventers team up with someone brought in with the m key. This new worker is here for one night only unless his team wins the tournament. They should face off against a midcard tag team from your roster. 7.6 - In the final first round tournament match, have your top face and heel tag team face each other. Just to make it more interesting, have the tag team consisting of your former referee and his partner interfere against both teams in protest of not being included in the Tournament. 7.7 - Hold both tournament semifinal matches, booking the winner of the first against the winner of the second, and the winner of the third against the winner of the fourth. 7.8 - Before you continue your tournament, you have a few singles matches to round out your card. First, have your champion defend his title against the man who challenged him in rule 6.8. Have the loser of the first show's main event and his partner both interfere against the champion (unless one of them is the Champion), and indicate that the challenger has joined their stable after the match. Give this stable a manager of your choice, and make it clear that they're aiming to make a major impact. 7.9 - Have two wrestlers brought in with the m key face each other. Both of these wrestlers will be appearing for one night only. 7.10 - Hire a new wrestler of your choice and bring him in with an 18 month contract. Have him give a promo introducing himself in which a traditional enemy (signed for 12 months) confronts him. Do not grant these two a match against each other until noted, however. 7.11 - Have the street fight you built up to at the beginning of the card between the two feuding wrestlers. Following the match, the face should try to offer a gesture of respect to his opponent, but his opponent should take advantage of it to lay him out. 7.12 - In your main event, have the finals of your Tag Team Title Tournament, with the winning team becoming your first ever tag team champions. 7.13 - Counting workers brought in especially for tonight, 26 wrestlers should be competing tonight. 8 - Fallout 8.1 - Your show should start off with a Four Corners Tag Team Match between four of your greatest tag teams. Try to put over the wrestler who wins this match strongly - in the future he will hopefully become a major singles wrestler for you. 8.2 - Bring in a new tag team of your choice and sign them to a 9 month contract. Have them face off against the team that won your opening match in an attempt to make an immediate impact. 8.3 - Book a six man tag team match featuring two tag teams that have been feuding as well as two singles wrestlers who have been feuding. 8.4 - The two wrestlers from the dissent filled tag team from 7.4 will face each other again here in a match that will blow off their feud. The stakes are so high that the losing partner will leave your promotion! 8.5 - One of the two foreign wrestlers brought in last month in rule 7.3 has agreed to one more appearance. Give him a match against your top high flier. Again, this is a one night only deal. 8.6 - Two of your wrestlers have been having an increasingly violent feud. Book them against each other in a Texas Death Match tonight. 8.7 - Bring in a new wrestler with a reputation for being an extremely dangerous competitor and sign him to a 24 month contract. This wrestler should be viewed as the hired gun of your new stable. Have him face off against your top face or heel as appropriate in a No-DQ match. 8.8 - Have your champion face off against a member of the roster in the lower half of your rankings in a non-title match this month. 8.9 - The tag team that interfered in rule 7.6 face one of the teams they interfered against in a tag team match. 8.10 - The two wrestlers that had the streetfight in 7.11 should face off again tonight. This time, add a third wrestler (preferably one with problems with both) and make it a Triangle Match. 8.11 - In your main event, have the leader of your new stable from 7.8 face an upper midcard wrestler of the appropriate alignment in a match with an embarassing stipulation attatched. 8.12 - Up to 36 wrestlers should wrestle in tonight's card counting those brought in specially for tonight. If you have more, give the rest the night off. 9 - Gauntlet Match 9.1 - The theme of tonight's show is that a gauntlet is going to be held to determine the top contender to your Heavyweight Title. Gauntlet matches after the first should be booked by having the Winner of the previous gauntlet match take on a new wrestler as indicated. 9.2 - For your first match, have the winner of 8.1 who you are giving a significant singles push face off against a wrestler who is fairly low in the rankings in a singles match. 9.3 - The Four Corners Tag Team Match last month proved to be extremely popular. Hold another this month to further showcase your excellent Tag Team talent. 9.4 - The first match of your Gauntlet should be the wrestler you signed to an 18 month contract in rule 7.10 against the winner of the match in rule 8.10. 9.5 - The second match in your Gauntlet should pit the winner of the first (9.4) against the wrestler who took the fall in the match in rule 8.10. 9.6 - The Third Gauntlet match should pit the winner of last match (9.5) against one of your top high fliers. 9.7 - The Fourth Gauntlet match sees the winner of 9.6 facing off against one of your the three wrestlers from the main event of your first show. 9.8 - Your Tag Team Titles will be defended for the first time in a somewhat unusual manner - in a Six Man Tag Team Match. The pairing that makes up part of your new stable should be the challengers if they're not the champions, and they should be joined by the dangerous wrestler awarded a 24 month contract in rule 8.7. Their opponents should be joined by the wrestler the stable leader faced in rule 8.11. 9.9 - Have your Heavyweight Champion face the same man he faced last month tonight, but this time the title will be on the line! 9.10 - Your Gauntlet Final should see the winner of 9.7 facing the wrestler signed to a 12 month contract in rule 3.4. The winner of this match will be recognised as the Top Contender for your Heavyweight Title. 9.11 - For your main event, have two of your top babyfaces that don't regularly team up take on a foreign tag team of your choice brought in for one night only. 9.12 - Up to 30 wrestlers should compete in tonight's show counting those brought in just for tonight. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/25/05 at 02:38:45 Rules for shows 10-12: 10 - Fastpaced action 10.1 - Your champion won't be defending their title this month, so you have to put together a card full of exciting action to keep your fans interested. Among other things, the top contender crowned last month will have to defend their Top Contender Status. 10.2 - To start things off, hold a tag team match featuring the two wrestlers who fought in 6.7. One of your top High Fliers should team up with the up and comer from your roster, while the leader of your highest ranked stable will team with the outsider. Again, this appearance by the outsider will be one night only, but tease an alliance between him and the leader of your stable. 10.3 - Your champion will be in action tonight, but he won't be defending the belt. Bring in a wrestler with the m key for him to face. 10.4 - Book a tag team match between one of your top tag teams and the man who won the match in rule 8.4. Of course, he's going to need a new partner, so bring one in for him with the m key. 10.6 - One of your main attractions this month should be a huge 10-man tag team match. One side should feature members of your midcard stable, while the other should feature as many good high fliers as you can spare. 10.7 - Have the dangerous wrestler signed to a very long contract compete against a pair of jobbers in a Handicap match. 10.8 - Your feuding wrestlers who had the Streetfight in 7.11 should face off again. This time, let each of them choose a partner for a tag team match. 10.9 - The winner of your Gauntlet last month is going to take on the leader of your top stable tonight. Even though he has already wrestled, he knows that if he can come out on top, he'll get a shot at your Heavyweight Title in the future. 10.10 - In your main event, have two of your top babyfaces square off in a 30-minute Ironman Match based solely on mutual respect. 10.11 - Counting the wrestlers brought in tonight, you can have up to 32 wrestlers competing tonight. 11 - A Legendary Visitor 11.1 - Two of your wrestlers have been feuding for quite some time, and they had a tag team match last month. The feuding wrestler who lost in 10.8 should start your card off with a match against the wrestler who faced your Heavyweight Champion in 10.3. 11.2 - The two wrestlers you hired for rule 7.10 should finally face off in a singles match here tonight. 11.3 - The winning feuding wrestler from rule 10.3 should face off against a wrestler brought in with the m key. The winner of this match will go on to compete for a chance to become your new Top Contender tonight. 11.4 - The winner of your main event from last month should also face off against a wrestler brought in with the m key. Once again, the winner of this match will have a shot at becoming your new Top Contender later tonight. 11.5 - Hold a Four Corners Tag Team match to determine the Top Contenders for your Tag Team Titles. Your top face tag team, your most exciting tag team, two members of your midcard stable, and the new team formed in rule 10.2 to confront the outsider should all compete. It's up to you when you hold this title match - just make sure it's within the next 3 shows. 11.6 - The winners from 11.3 and 11.4 should face off in this match to determine your promotion's newest Top Contender. 11.7 - Your Heavyweight Champion will be defending his title tonight against the Top Contender after rule 10.9. 11.8 - Your main event should be a tag team match featuring the team that attacked your two top teams because it was left out of the Tag Team Title Tournament in rule 7.6, and the tag team worker you're giving a singles push to. Instead of his normal partner, bring in a legendary wrestler who has made a real impact in the business for one night only as his special partner. 11.9 - At least 26 workers should be wrestling on tonight's card. You may have more if you wish. 12 - Final Battle Of Year One 12.1 - After this show, you will have successfully lasted an entire year. Therefore, you should put on the best show you can to thank the fans who have made everything possible. Most of the matches are up to you. 12.2 - FOr your first match, the two wrestlers you brought in for rule 7.10 will be facing off against each other in a rematch from last month. 12.3 - Have one of your top babyfaces confront the leader of your top stable in an interview segment. Turn this babyface heel during this confrontation, but don't have him join the stable. Consider having him start a group of his own if it fits your plans. 12.4 - Bring in a high flier who has previously made an appearance for your promotion for one night only and give them a match against one of your top high fliers. Afterwards, sign the high flier to a 6 month contract and have them join your midcard stable. 12.5 - Have your Heavyweight Champion defend against your top contender as determined in rule 11.6. 12.6 - In your main event, book a Four Corners Match for the top contendership for your Heavyweight Title. Include one of your top babyfaces, a former champion (if the belt has changed hands), the dangerous wrestler signed to a longterm deal, and the man who confronted the leader of your top stable earlier tonight. There will be several shows before this wrestler gets a shot, but don't forget who won. 12.7 - The rest of the card is at your discretion. Just make sure to have at least 20 wrestlers competing. CONTRACT TIME - It's been another 6 months, and once again its time to resign some contracts. Your roster is continuing to solidify, so give 3 deserving wrestlers who are under 6 month deals a 12 month deal. Cut 2 wrestlers whose contracts have expired but who are willing to resign. Of the three wrestlers who main evented your first show, resign one to a 6 month contract, one to an 18 month contract, and the third to a 24 month contract. Give the tag team wrestler that's getting a singles push an 18 month contract. Finally, make sure that your roster is at 35 wrestlers or under. If it isn't, trim some as necessary. IMPORTANT - Your promotion is gaining popularity now, so you can afford to put on shows a bit more frequently. Turn the card multiplier to 2 with Tweakcirc, as you'll be running approximately 2 shows a month from now on. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Justin	Posted on 03/05/05 at 17:12:30 I just noticed that there is no rule 10.5 it jumps from 10.4 to 10.6
Rick Garrard	Posted on 03/05/05 at 23:15:36 he's supersititious. Kinda like the same reason most buildings don't have a 13th floor and if they do, they put the restaurant there.

Unright	Posted on 03/08/05 at 23:36:14 I like the challenge of booking based on rulesets like this. Are there any others besides Critic of the Dawn's? I seem to remember one long ago on the old TNM7 message boards...

Shaun Sindelman	Posted on 03/17/05 at 01:13:39 Is 13 & 14 the 2 shows in 1 week or not? Be great if this was indicated so we can know when to have someone not booked for the 2nd show if they no-show the first show.

An actual double shot won't appear until fairly late in the year, and the shows will be announced as such in the first rule of the shows effected. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Shaun Sindelman	Posted on 03/17/05 at 01:22:36 MPORTANT - Your promotion is gaining popularity now, so you can afford to put on shows a bit more frequently. Turn the card multiplier to 2 with Tweakcirc, as you'll be running approximately 2 shows a month from now on. then shouldnt we tweak our card multiplier once the double shots start? if we do it at after rule 12 and we are NOT holding 2 shows per wk just yet, then it screws up the amount of time that passes on someone's contract. no?
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 03/17/05 at 01:47:33 As I said via AIM, you are confusing Double Shots (holding 2 shows a week with the special no-show rules in place) with the fact that you will now be running 2 shows a month, which does not require any special mechanics other than changing the card multiplier in Tweakcirc. Sorry for the confusion. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"

This match should feature him taking on the wrestler who debuted in rule 7.10 with a 12 month contract, a wrestler who debuted in the past few months and has made an impact, and a new wrestler chosen by you and signed to a 6 month contract. Again, this IS a Title Match. 17.7 - Hold a 10 man I Quit tag team match. One side should be led by a legend brought in for one night only and should feature the former tag team wrestler, a partner, and two people brought in for one night only with the m key. The other should be built around the stable which debuted recently against your top stable, with any open spaces being filled by people brought in with the m key for one night only. 17.8 - Finally, in your main event, have two of your main eventers that are not otherwise occupied face off in a 2/3 falls match. 17.9 - For this show, you should have up to 36 wrestlers in action including any brought in especially for tonight with the m key, etc. 18 - Round Robin II 18.1 - Tonight you revisit the gimmick of show 2 by presenting a one night Round Robin between three of your top wrestlers. One of these wrestlers should be the leader of your main stable. The other two are up to you, but should be main eventers or those you intend to push to the main event. The three matches should once again be at the beginning of the card, somewhere towards the middle, and in the main event slot. Most of the rest of the card is up to you this time. 18.2 - Also tonight, hold a Top COntender's Match between the wrestler you hired to an 18 month contract way back in rule 7.10 and someone from your top 5 ranked singles wrestlers (not including the champion, of course). 18.3 - Your Heavyweight Title will also be on the line this week against the top contender crowned in rule 16.4. 18.4 - Once again, the rest of the card is up to you. Use this to advance any feuds you have running and to put on a good all around show. You may have up to 32 wrestlers competing this week. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"

This will feature two Round Robins of 4 wrestlers, with the winners of each of these Round Robins eventually facing each other.

Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 06/15/05 at 03:00:24 Rules for shows 25-27: 25 - Confrontation 25.1 - Start things out with a singles match between the tag team wrestler getting a substantial singles push and someone of the appropriate alignment that is very low in your singles rankings. 25.2 - In a top contender's match, have the leader of your top stable face a former champion who is still under contract to you. 25.3 - Hold a four corners singles match featuring two lower card wrestlers, a former high flying wrestler no longer under contract to you and brought back for the night, and a new wrestler of your choice signed to a 6 month contract. If the wrestler formerly from your roster wins this match, sign him to a 6 month contract as well. 25.4 - Your champion should face the wrestler feuding with the big name from outside your company in a non-title match. 25.5 - The tag team wrestler with the singles push referenced in rule 25.1 should face another wrestler in a singles match in what should begin a major feud for your promotion. 25.6 - Your main event should feature a top level babyface competing against a member of your promotion's top stable. 25.7 - A large portion of this card is up to you, so use it to build up rivalries that you want to pursue over the next few months. 25.8 - At least 29 wrestlers should be in action for this show. 26 - Steel Cage Match 26.1 - This show will be headlined by a steel cage match between the "big name" and the wrestler that he's feuding with. Naturally this should be a major draw, so be sure to stack the card so that you can gain some new fans. 26.2 - Start things off with a match between two wrestlers in one of your two round robins. One of them should be the wrestler that had to wrestle in a qualifying match in rule 24.8. 26.3 - You should also hold a match from the other round robin to keep things even. Be sure to hype just how important this tournament of sorts is, because the winner will be getting a major push. 26.4 - A six man tag team match should take place between members of your midcard faction and three wrestlers that have a problem with them. 26.5 - Have a rematch featuring the two men from rule 22.7, but this time make the match a straightforward singles match without a stipulation attatched. 26.6 - Hold a four corners match between two traditional main eventers in your company (one of them the champion if possible), a midcarder you'd like to push, and someone who has only been with your company for a few months. 26.7 - In your main event, hold the cage match discussed earlier between your "big name" wrestler and the man he's feuding with. 26.8 - Up to 30 wrestlers can be in action for this show. 27 - Major Card 27.1 - The time has come to put together another supercard that will showcase some of your best talent and put on some incredible matches. 27.2 - Start things off with a match from one of your round robins. 27.3 - To keep things even, there should be a matchup from the other round robin as well. 27.4 - Have a tag team match between members of your midcard stable and a tag team you would consider to exemplify the hardcore style. 27.5 - On this show, you should have the big name wrestler that is feuding with one of your wrestlers and his rival choose opponents for each other. The big name wrestler should face someone from your roster, while the wrestler that is a part of your regular roster should face a past rival of the big name wrestler from whatever promotion he came from. The rival brought in from outside is only here for one night, however. 27.6 - Your Tag Team Titles should be defended in a huge 5 team battle royal. If you haven't run one of these before, select a battle royal, choose 10 men, select the participants, and it should ask if you want it to be a tag team battle royal. It should. Obviously your champions will be in this match, but the rest should feature a mixture of high and low ranked teams. The specifics are up to you. 27.7 - In the main event, your Heavyweight Champion should defend against the top contender. 27.8 - Once again, up to 30 wrestlers (including those brought in specially for tonight) ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
SuperstarJimiC	Posted on 06/22/05 at 00:10:13 Those rules are good. I agree with you (even though alot of those TNM7 viewers on this page are saying that i'm annoying & lame) ROH is by far right now, (Tied with TNA) pound-by-pound the best promotion going today. (No offense to WWE) ROH is one of my favorite promotions considering that I only have the first two cards. My favorite wrestlers are James Gibson, Austin Aries, CM Punk, etc. With that said, I'll let you put your next set of rules down. Thank you!
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 07/19/05 at 18:45:30 Rules for shows 28-30: 28 - Continuation 28.1 - Start things off at this show by having your champion face a lower card wrestler in a non-title match. 28.2 - You should have 3 Round Robin matches on this card, 2 from 1 bracket, and 1 from the other. Be sure to arrange it so that none of them have to wrestle twice. 28.3 - Your tag team titles are on the line tonight - have two members of a midcard stable try to capture them from your champions. 28.4 - Once again, the two wrestlers that have been feuding for quite a while should face other opponents chosen by their counterparts. Each should pick an opponent from as high up the card as possible that wrestles a similar style to his opponent. 28.5 - In your main event, have your Heavyweight Champion defend his title against one of the wrestlers from the tag team the manager brought in for card 23 is now managing. 28.6 - At least 26 wrestlers should be in action for this card. 29 - Expansion 29.1 - This show marks your expansion into a major new market, be it a large city or an entire new region. As usual, you should try to put together the best show you can to impress the fans. 29.2 - Start your show off with a Round Robin match from one of your brackets. 29.3 - Schedule a Four Corners Tag Team match featuring three of your lowest ranked teams and one debuting team of your choice. Sign both members of the new team to 6 month contracts. 29.4 - The leader of your main stable should face an opponent of the appropriate alignment from one of your Round Robins that isn't involved in a match this evening. 29.5 - Your tag team champions should put the titles on the line again on this show, this time against a midcard team which has been with your promotion for at least a year. Consider this title shot a reward for their loyalty. 29.6 - A Round Robin match from the bracket that was not used in 29.2 should also be scheduled. 29.7 - Have the longtime member of your roster that is feuding with a "big name" face off against another wrestler from your roster, preferably one with some connection to the "big name." 29.8 - In your Main Event, have your Heavyweight Champion face off against the tag team wrestler that has been getting a substantial singles push in non-title action. 29.9 - At least 25 wrestlers should be in action on this show, including the team making its debut tonight. 30 - Major Spectacle 30.1 - Open your card up with a match from one of your Round Robins. 30.2 - Book a tag team match which features a former Heavyweight Champion teaming with a relatively new partner against an established tag team from your circuit. 30.3 - Your Tag Team Titles should be on the line tonight. If they don't already have the titles, the tag team that is being managed by the manager who debuted back on show 24 should get a shot. If they ARE the champions, the tag team highest in the rankings should get a shot. 30.4 - One of the primary draws for this card is a huge Four Corners Tag Team Steel Cage match. Put three of your top teams in the cage, plus a new team of your choice. This team will be here for one night only, but remember who showed up, because you'll be using them again at some point. 30.5 - Four of your top singles wrestlers including your Heavyweight Champion should face off in a Four Corners Elimination Match. This is a non-title match, but the winner will walk away with quite a bit of prestige. 30.6 - In your Main Event, have two deserving main eventers (one that has been around since the beginning of your circuit) face off in a Top Contender's Match. 30.7 - At least 28 wrestlers should be in action on this card. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Unright	Posted on 08/15/05 at 04:48:27 5.3 - One of the feuds in your promotion is really heating up. Team one of the workers with the wrestler brought in for the tournament in rule 4.2 (or his opponent if this wrestler advanced), and one with someone already under contract. Not quite sure what you mean... Is this supposed to be a match between them? Or perhaps a backstage altercation/argument? Or is it just a note for the booker to note that two wrestlers will be feuding and he/she should bookmark it? 6.2 - Have the partner of the tag team wrestler from the first match team up with the exciting tag team from rule 3.8 in a six man tag team match against 2 workers from your roster and one brought in with the m key. These three workers will form the basis of a new midcard stable in your promotion. Little hazy on this too.. Which team becomes the new midcard stable? Team 1 or team 2? Either?
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 08/15/05 at 06:28:38 For your first question, yes, you are to book a match. Sorry that wasn't clear to you. For the second question, the second group (the one containing the mystery wrestler) should form the midcard stable. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 09/21/05 at 21:15:11 Rules for shows 31-33: 31 - The End of All Things 31.1 - This and show 32 are your first ever Double Shot. Just a reminder - anyone who no-shows on the first night should also be considered unavailable on the second. 31.2 - In your first match, have one of your top ranked tag teams face a tag team near the bottom of the rankings. 31.3 - The former tag team wrestler that has been getting a singles push should face off against one of the losers from one of your Round Robins. 31.4 - Have a member of your upper midcard that has been getting a push lately face off against a lower card wrestler to help get him over as a force to be reckoned with. 31.5 - Hold the final matches in both of your Round Robins tonight, and announce the winners of each. Also announce that the two winners will face off against each other on show 33 to determine the overall winner. 31.6 - Team up your Heavyweight Champion and your Top Contender and have them face your Tag Team Champions in a match for the Tag Team Titles! 31.7 - In your main event, blow off the feud that's been going on since show 15 with a Steel Cage Match. 31.8 - At least 29 wrestlers should be in action for this show. 32 - Violence and Bloodshed 32.1 - The same highly ranked team that started things off at your last show should face another low ranked team to open the show tonight. 32.2 - Hold a 5 Man Battle Royal featuring the winner of last night's main event, the two winners of the Round Robins, and two other wrestlers who participated in the Round Robins. 32.3 - Hold a tag team match between the lower card tag team from rule 31.2 and a newly debuting tag team brought in with the m key. Sign this new team to a 6 month contract. 32.4 - If your tag team titles did not change hands last week, have a tag team title match featuring members of your top stable facing your tag champions. If the titles DID change hands, have the former champs face the members of the stable in a normal tag team match. 32.5 - Your top contender as of rule 30.6 should get his shot at your Heavyweight Champion now. 32.6 - In your main event, blow off another major feud with a barbed wire match. 32.7 - Up to 33 wrestlers can compete on tonight's card. Keep in mind that wrestlers who no-showed last card are not available for this show! 33 - Major Invasion 33.1 - On this card, your circuit will host wrestlers from a much larger promotion for a joint show. The show will feature two parts. The first half will feature matches from your promotion. The second half will feature your wrestlers going up against theirs. 33.2 - To start the show, one half of your tag team champions should face off against a traditional main eventer in your promotion in a singles match. 33.3 - Two people who competed in your Round Robins still have issues that haven't been settled. Settle them here tonight in a gimmick match of some kind. 33.4 - As promised, the winners of your two Round Robins will face each other tonight to determine an overall winner of the series. 33.5 - The final match of your portion of the card should feature your Heavyweight Champion defending his title against one half of the tag team champions that he faced in rule 31.6. If the champions retained their titles, the man who won the fall should get the shot. If they lost them, then the one who was pinned wants a chance for revenge and should get it tonight. 33.6 - One of your wrestlers just blew off a major feud in rule 31.7. Team him up with 2 other wrestlers to form a new stable, and have two members of that stable facing off against a tag team from the other promotion. 33.7 - One of your top stars should face off against an upper midcarder from the other promotion. 33.8 - The former tag team wrestler who has been heavily pushed this year should get a match against a main eventer in the other promotion. 33.9 - Finally, in the main event, have the visiting promotion's Tag Team Champions put their titles on the line against members of your top stable. The champions should retain their titles in this match unless you really want the hassle of dealing with another promotion's titles. If you're using another circuit from the boards, make sure you ask first! 33.10 - All of the matches for this show have been mapped out for you, so don't worry about the number of wrestlers this time. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
LillaThrilla	Posted on 09/22/05 at 23:35:05 Hey Critic, guess who was looking over this list and saving the stuff to files for the next TNM 3:16 update? ;D Always glad to see someone coming up with a rules set!
Jimbo_from_Mempho	Posted on 09/23/05 at 06:16:41 Hey LillaThrilla, if you can get something posted within 3 days you'll make it exactly a year to the day since the last posting at 3:16! ;D
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 09/23/05 at 06:48:22 Glad to see there's interest in my ruleset. It's been a lot of fun for me to run through LIW so far, and I gather that it makes it a lot easier for many people to get interesting circuits up and running. I know that the first circuit I posted here was with Rick's fantastic Old School Rules, and that I had a lot of fun with them. So. Excellent. Feel free to post these at TNM 3:16. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
rey619	Posted on 01/09/06 at 21:00:16 Does anyone have a clue what's happened to Critic? He simply vanished..
Snabbit888	Posted on 01/10/06 at 00:29:13 He's still alive. Talk to him occasionally. Been busy with work, he has.
rey619	Posted on 01/10/06 at 00:55:35 Well, that's good to know! Let him know I'm still running a fed on his rulesheet.. but I guess I'll have to do my own booking soon ;)
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/11/06 at 17:25:43 I'm still kicking around. Just very very busy. 40 hours a week and all that. Saving up money to get a place of my own, plus running a D&D campaign and playing in another doesn't leave that much TNM time, unfortuantely. I'm going to go ahead and post the rest of the rules I've worked out thus far since it looks like LIW is either on a longterm hiatus or done at this point. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/11/06 at 17:28:27 Rules for shows 34-36: 34 - A New Battle 34.1 - Open your show with the overall winner of the Round Robin series in singles action against one half of the tag team that debuted in rule 29.3. 34.2 - The other half of the tag team that debuted in rule 29.3 should face off against one of the participants in the Round Robin Series in a singles match. 34.3 - Hold an Eight Man Tag Team Match featuring members of a midcard stable and two other tag teams of the appropriate alignment. 34.4 - If your World Champion does not hold your Tag Team Titles, he and another main eventer will team up for a shot at them tonight. If he does, the team he won it from will face him tonight in a rematch. In both cases, the Tag Team Titles will be on the line! 34.5 - In your main event, have your top stable face off against the stable which first appeared in rule 33.6 in a Six Man Tag Team Match. These two factions are of the opinion that only one of them can reign supreme, and both want to make sure that the other knows that THEY are the top group. 34.6 - Up to 30 wrestlers can be in action tonight. 35 - Taking A Stand 35.1 - Start off your card by having one of the participants in the Round Robins face off against a newly debuting wrestler of your choice. Sign this wrestler to a 6 month contract. 35.2 - Hold a triangle tag team match featuring one of your top teams and the two teams that aligned to face your midcard stable in rule 34.3. 35.3 - You need a new top contender, so hold a Four Corners Match to crown one. To emphasize the fact that your Round Robin series has helped to elevate new talent, have the winner and runner up of both brackets facing off with the Top Contendership on the line. 35.4 - A new tag team debuted in rule 29.3. This team already seems to be having problems, so let them face each other in a singles match to try to clear the air between them. 35.5 - The wrestler who won their feud in a barbed wire match in rule 32.6 should take on the wrestler who won his feud in the rule 31.7. 35.6 - In your main event, continue the feud between your World Champion and the Tag Team Champions. This time, if he doesn't also hold the Tag Team Titles, have your World Champion bring in a famous wrestler of your choice and sign them to a 6 month contract. Again, the tag team titles will be on the line. 35.7 - At least 26 wrestlers should be in action for tonight's card. 36 - Final Battle of Year Two 36.1 - Your promotion has now successfully survived two long years, and to celebrate the fact that you continue to grow, you will be creating a secondary title. This can either be a straight secondary belt, or one restricted in any way you choose (Cruiserweight, X-Division, Pure Title, etc). Either way, tonight there will be an eight man tournament to crown the first ever champion for that belt. 36.2 - Start the show off with a first round tournament match featuring a wrestler in the stable that debuted in rule 33.6 (the leader if he qualifies) and a wrestler who competed in your Round Robin series. 36.3 - Bring back a wrestler that hasn't appeared for quite some time and have him take on a midcarder in another first round tournament match. 36.4 - If he meets the requirements, have the winner of your Round Robin series face off against a lowercard wrestler in the third first round tournament match. 36.5 - In the final first round tournament match, have one of your top names compete with someone who competed in your Round Robin Series. 36.6 - Hold a tag team match between the team that lost but did not take the fall in rule 35.2 and two members of your midcard stable. 36.7 - The winners of the match in rule 35.2 should get a shot at your tag team titles. 36.8 - Hold both Semifinal matches in your tournament at this point. 36.9 - Your Heavyweight Champion is proud, and has decided that defending against one wrestler is not enough. Instead, he will face three with the title on the line! These wrestlers will be: the wrestler who won the fall in the Top Contender's Match in rule 35.3, the wrestler who took the fall in that match, and a former Heavyweight Champion who is no longer under contract to you. Unless the former champion wins, this will be a one-night only appearance. 36.10 - In your main event, hold the finals of your tournament and crown your new secondary champion! 36.11 - Once again, your entire card is present in this rule, so don't worry about how many wrestlers will be appearing. CONTRACT TIME - Since your promotion is getting larger, you may now have up to 36 wrestlers under contract after you are finished dealing with contracts. Three wrestlers should have their contract lengths INCREASED by 6 months. Unless you really don't want to use him, one of them should be the wrestler that won the Round Robin series. Two should have theirs DECREASED by 6 months. And one wrestler that is willing to re-sign should be fired. Finally, increase the length of the contract of the wrestler who won the match in rule 35.4 by 6 months. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/11/06 at 17:35:08 Rules for cards 37-39: 37 - Major Changes 37.1 - Start off tonight's show with a six man Battle Royal featuring a wrestler that's been under contract to you since you started, a wrestler of your choice brought in for one night only, one half of the tag team that has been feuding with your Heavyweight Champion, one of the wrestlers from your Round Robin series, and both members of the tag team that appeared in rule 30.4. Once again they are appearing for one night only, but don't forget who they are because you will be using them again some time in the future. 37.2 - Have a midcarder face off against a wrestler brought in for one night only with the m key. 37.3 - Hold a Top Contender's Match between one of the wrestlers who competed in the tournament for your Secondary Title in your last show but came up short and the man who won the Round Robin series. 37.4 - Two members of your top stable should face off against two members of your newest stable in a tag team match. 37.5 - Your Secondary Title should be on the line in a rematch from the finals of the tournament last month. To make things more special, you should bring in a Legend of the style that your title represents to serve as guest referee. 37.6 - Your Heavyweight Title is on the line tonight. Your champion will be putting the title on the line against one half of the tag team that has been feuding with him. Both sides have agreed that tonight their feud must end, so put this title match in a Steel Cage! 37.7 - Leave the cage up for your main event, which will feature four members of your midcard stable against a tag team that has opposed them a lot in the past, plus two debuting wrestlers (signed for 6 month contracts) that work a similar style. 37.8 - At least 28 wrestlers should be in action in this show. MAJOR CHANGES - Major changes are afoot, and they will alter your promotion forever! Due to changes in management, major scandal, etc, you must IMMEDIATELY fire five wrestlers. They should be: The leader of your top stable, one other main eventer, two midcarders and the man holding either your Heavyweight Title or your Secondary Title. There will be a show devoted to crowning a new champion for that belt sometime down the line, so please do not choose a new champion on your own. 38 - Reconstruction: Night One (2nd Anniversery Weekend) 38.1 - Tonight and your next show will be a double shot. Once again, this means that anyone who no-shows this show will be unavailable for the next one either. After the major shakeup, many people are worried that your promotion will not be able to survive. Tonight you should begin trying to prove them wrong. 38.2 - Open your show with a match between the winner of your round robin series and someone who competed in your last show. 38.3 - Have the original tag team from rule 37.7 face off against a low-card tag team in a straight up tag team match. 38.4 - Hold another six man battle royal featuring both feuding members of the tag team that debuted in rule 29.3, a wrestler who competed in your round robin series but did not win, the two wrestlers who joined your tag team in rule 37.7, and finally one of the wrestlers from the tag team that originally appeared in rule 30.4. This wrestler should FINALLY be signed to a 12 month contract. His partner should not, however. 38.5 - Your Tag Team Champions should be in non-title action at this show. Have them facing a debuting tag team of your choice signed for 12 months. 38.6 - The loser of last month's Secondary Title Match has a match tonight against one of your top names. Once again, the legendary guest referee from rule 37.5 should participate in this match in the same role. 38.7 - In your main event, have your remaining champion put his title on the line in an impromptu match against one of your main eventers who is not involved in a stable of any sort. 38.8 - At least 24 wrestlers should be in action for this show. 39 - Reconstruction: Night Two (2nd Anniversery Weekend) 39.1 - Your attempts to rebuild your promotion continue as you expand your operations into a major new market. 39.2 - Start your show off with one of the members of your newly formed stable facing off against a member of your now leaderless and crumbling top stable. 39.3 - In a Four Corners Match, have one of your midcarders face off against one of the wrestlers that competed in your round robin series, one half of the newly signed tag team from rule 38.5, and a debuting wrestler of your choice signed to an 18 month contract. 39.4 - One half of the tag team that debuted in rule 38.5 should face off against one of the two wrestlers that helped out your existing tag team in rule 37.7. 39.5 - The wrestler that you just signed to a contract in rule 38.4 should team up with a wrestler already under contract to you that works a similar style to compete in a four corners tag team match. They should face the feuding tag team that debuted in rule 29.3, the tag team that main evented show 37, and the lower-card team that they faced in rule 38.3. 39.6 - If your Top Contender is able to compete for your remaining singles title, give him his shot now. If he is not (for example, if he is a heavyweight and it is a cruiserweight belt), then hold an appropriate title match here. 39.7 - In your main event, have your tag team champions put their titles on the line against members of the stable that formed in rule 33.6. 39.8 - At least 28 wrestlers should be in action on tonight's card. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/11/06 at 17:43:08 Rules for cards 40-42: 40 - Round Robin III 40.1 - The time has come to revisit one of the most successful show gimmicks from your promotion's history - the one night Round Robin challenge between three of your best stars! This year there is a twist, however. Instead of three of your greatest singles wrestlers, this year it will focus on tag teams. Not only that, but one of the teams will be your Tag Team Champions, and the titles will be on the line in each match where they are featured. Thus, they could switch up to three times before the end of the night! Aside from your Tag Team Champions, one of your top rated tag teams should fill a slot, as should the remnants of your leaderless and crumbling top stable. The first match on the card, one towards the middle, and the main event should be in this gimmick. 40.2 - The wrestler who had their contract extended for winning the match in 35.4 should face off against the winner of your round robin series in a singles match. 40.3 - Your remaining singles champion should be in non-title action against one half of the new tag team signed in rule 38.5. 40.4 - Two midcarders, one of them a member of your midcard stable, should wrestle each other in singles action. 40.5 - Another six man battle royal should round out your card. Participating in this battle royal should be two debuting wrestlers. Both of them should be signed to 12 month contracts. One of them should be chosen randomly and should join your midcard stable, the other is your choice. Another member of your midcard stable should compete in this card, as should one of the men who competed in your round robin series last year. The other two are up to you. 40.6 - The main eventer that faced your champion in rule 38.7 is in action again tonight. This time he will face a wrestler who was with your promotion in the beginning, but subsequently left. This is a one night only appearance for the returning wrestler. 40.7 - At least 27 wrestlers should be in action for this show. 41 - Revolution 41.1 - This show marks the birth of a major new faction in your promotion. Due to the recent changes, you have brought a number of new wrestlers into the fold. Tonight several of these new wrestlers will unite in an attempt to take control of your promotion. 41.2 - Open your card with a six-man tag team match featuring the wrestler who debuted without stable affiliation in rule 40.5, the wrestler who debuted with you in rule 39.3, and the wrestler finally signed to a contract in rule 38.4. They should face three members of your midcard stable. 41.3 - The wrestler who had their contract extended because of winning the match in rule 35.4 should then face off against the member of your midcard stable that debuted in rule 40.5. 41.4 - After these first two matches, have the unaffiliated wrestler from 41.3 publically align himself with the unaligned team from 41.2 to form the afforementioned new stable. They should immediately make it clear that they intend to take the top spots in your promotion by force. Bring out one of the tag teams that competed in last show's Round Robin to confront them, but have them get beaten down. A challenge should be made for an eight-man tag team match later tonight. 41.5 - There is major heat between the existing tag team that main evented show 37 and the two partners they brought in to help them out. The two partners have even gone so far as to try to claim the gimmick for themselves. Thus, have the original and the knockoffs face each other in a six-man tag team match. Each side should pick an appropriate partner to help them out. 41.6 - Two wrestlers that have been trying to climb the ladder for at least a few months should have a match against each other. Unfortunately for them, the first spots that your new stable wants are theirs. Have the new stable interfere against both men, setting up the eight-man tag team match later tonight. 41.7 - The wrestler who did not have their contract extended because he lost the match in rule 35.4 should face off against a midcarder. 41.8 - Your tag team titles should be on the line in a rematch between the two remaining teams from last show's Round Robin. This time, there will be no disqualifications to make the match even more interesting. 41.9 - Your eight-man tag team match should feature all four members of your new stable against the tag team that confronted them in rule 42.4, plus the two wrestlers in rule 41.6. 41.10 - The legend who recently guest-refereed two matches should confront one of your top heels. Make it clear that a feud is brewing between these two men. 41.11 - In your main event, the main eventer mentioned in rule 40.6 should take on your remaining singles champion with the title on the line. 41.12 - At least 28 wrestlers should be in action on tonight's card. 42 - Ultimate Endurance 42.1 - Start your show off with a tag team match featuring the knock-off tag team referenced in rule 41.5 and a lower card tag team. 42.2 - Another Six Man Battle Royal should be held tonight. This battle royal should feature: One of the members of the tag team that is being copied, a wrestler brought in for one night only with the m key, a lower-card wrestler, Another lower card wrestler who you hope to push up the card some day, and a new wrestler of your choice who is also appearing for one night only. 42.3 - In six man tag team action, have three members of your new stable that debuted last card facing off against two of the wrestlers they faced last time and a third wrestler from your roster. 42.4 - Sign a four corners match featuring the wrestler who joined your midcard stable in rule 40.5, two wrestlers brought in for one night only with the m key, and a wrestler from your roster who hasn't been used for at least a month. 42.5 - Your remaining singles title should be defended. Choose an opponent who you feel will put on a classic match against the champion. 42.6 - In your main event, four of your top tag teams will face off in an elimination match. The three tag teams that competed in this year's Round Robin card should participate, as should two members of the new stable that debuted in your last card. One of them should be the member that did not compete in rule 42.3, the other should compete twice. 42.7 - At least 29 wrestlers should be in action for this card. ***** Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 02/11/06 at 17:49:31 Rules for cards 43-44: 43 - Survival of the Fittest 43.1 - Tonight you will present an innovative event designed to elevate a wrestler to the top tier of your promotion. Six singles matches will be held, with the winners of each going on to compete in a pinfalls only battle royal in your main event. 43.2 - Open the show with a qualifying match featuring the leader of your new stable taking on one half of the tag team that feuded with your World Champion a few months ago. 43.3 - One half of your Tag Team Champions should face off against a former tag team wrestler turned singles wrestler of your choice in the second Qualifying Match. 43.4 - Hold a tag team match between two members of your new stable and two wrestlers opposing them. The wrestler who scores the fall in this match will qualify for the Battle Royal later tonight. 43.5 - The main eventer mentioned in rule 41.11 should face off against the other half of the tag team that feuded with your world champion a few months back in the fourth qualifying match. 43.6 - In your fifth qualifying match, a main eventer who has been with the company since the beginning should face off against a member of the new stable. 43.7 - In your final qualifying match, have your remaining singles champion face off against the winner of last year's Round Robin Series. The title will not be on the line. 43.8 - Before your main event, your tag team champions want to put their titles on the line. Put together a Four Corners Tag Team Match to oblige them. They should face two lower-card tag teams and two members of your midcard stable. 43.9 - In your main event, hold the pinfalls only battle royal featuring all the wrestlers that qualified. If the winner isn't already a main eventer, give them a good solid push up the card. 43.10 - At least 22 wrestlers should be in action for this show. 44 - Reconstruction Complete 44.1 - Tonight will be a major show which should complete the reconstruction from what occurred a few months ago. Among other things, you will crown a new singles champion tonight. 44.2 - Start your card off with a match between two wrestlers not included in last show's Battle Royal contention. 44.3 - You will be hosting a mini-tournament tonight. There will be two four corners matches, with the winner of each facing each other to compete for your vacant singles title. In the first of these matches, have a wrestler who once worked for you return, signed for a 6 month deal. He should face the new wrestler who joined your midcard stable in rule 40.5 (who should break away from that stable at this point), and two longtime midcarders. 44.4 - The knockoff tag team and their originals should face each other in a tag team match tonight. The winners of this match get control over the gimmick. 44.5 - Your second qualifying match should feature two members of your new stable, the winner of the Round Robin Series, and the wrestler that has been feuding with the legend who refereed a few matches for you. 44.6 - The leaderless remnants of what was once your top stable should face off against two members of the stable they've been feuding with. 44.7 - At this point, have a match for your vacant title featuring the winner of 44.3 against the winner of 44.5. 44.8 - The legend and the wrestler who has been feuding them should have another confrontation. Just as they seem to be ready to come to blows, have your new stable interrupt and attack the legend. Surprisingly, your wrestler comes to his aid, turning face if he has not already done so. 44.9 - In your main event, have your singles champion that was not in action tonight team up with your top tag team to face the main eventer mentioned in rule 41.11 and the tag team that debuted in rule 38.5. 44.10 - After the last match ends, a former Heavyweight Champion who is no longer under contract should return, attack your present champion, and align himself with the team facing the champ in the main event. This group should form a new stable, and if they are not already heels they should turn now. 44.11 - Up to 32 wrestlers can be in action for this card. ***** That's all I have for now. Get in touch with me if/when you run out and need new rules. They're not that hard to write since I'm basically adapting them from Ring of Honor. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
SuperstarJimiC	Posted on 12/21/06 at 02:57:33 Hey Critic, I need to ask are you planning to update the ROH rules anymore?
americamamushi	Posted on 12/21/06 at 04:16:03 yeah, let us know ;D
Critic of the Dawn	Posted on 12/23/06 at 05:13:24 Maybe eventually, but it isn't high on my list of priorities right now. Eric "Critic of the Dawn"
TerryFunka	Posted on 12/23/06 at 12:11:04 SuperstarJimic is out of rulesets to do his booking for him apparently
HugeRockStar760	Posted on 12/23/06 at 17:42:13 What I don't understand about JimiC is that he'd ask for more rulesets yet he can't even get through the first few weeks! There's some good rulesets on here that go through more than a year. That's more than enough time to get started on a circuit.
americamamushi	Posted on 12/31/06 at 06:03:14 they aren't extreme enough
SuperstarJimiC	Posted on 01/24/08 at 06:28:30 Anybody updating these rulesets anymore?
Hello Mamushi	Posted on 01/24/08 at 17:37:15 YES! FINALLY! THE CHOSEN ONE HAS RETURNED! SALVATION IS UPON US! SAVE US OH GREAT AND WISE JIMIC FROM THE VOID THAT HATH BEEN LEFT BY THE ANUBO-EXODUS! puts foil on his head and starts singing hymns
SuperstarJimiC	Posted on 01/25/08 at 06:56:35 Unlike Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, I'm not the only hope. There are plenty of people in TNM land. Hell, i'm not any of the passengers on Oceanic Flight 815 that crashed on the island on LOST, I can promote matches better than the cast of LOST getting rescued off that damn island. All i'm saying is Jimi C. is back for a bit. Enough to get my creative juices going in TNM7SE. Hopefully someone will start creating more rulesets for ROH. especially when they're on PPV once a month or every other month. I see them next getting a TV deal.
