Month 5 of the rules is posted in the discussion forum and should be uploaded to my site soon (Sometime today)

No question who the big names are. The Punk/Kane team is interesting, is there any backstory as t why Punk is controlling Kane like that. And for the record, I don't trust Chance Beckett. ;)

By the way, I also noticed Vader quietly racking up a string of victories. I'm not sure if he's face or heel, but I wouldn't mind seeing some sort of run with Edge or Shawn, depending.
americamamushiPosted on 07/25/04 at 19:27:23

I hadn't really given any thought to why Punk controls Kane.  Truth be told (and I'd guess it's pretty apparent) I haven't been giving alot of through to all backstory of storylines and teamings and such.  I've kind of given it a backseat to the actual writing of the rules.  I guess theres always a "Chance" thats he's not as good as he seems. (Sorry for the pun ;D)

I've been thinking about bringing Vader up, I just want to find the right way to do it.  (He's heel by the way) Well, not to give too much away, but that last match of the month was kind of the begining to the blow off to their feud so I am looking to bring someone new up to the main event scene.  Like I said, I don't want to give too much away but Michaels, Ace, and the others (others???) are definently not done with Edge yet.  But after this month, I think we can expect a halfway change of the guard.  I will definently take the comments you've made into consideration as I'm writing.  ;D  (That goes for other people too, I'm always looking for ideas and suggestions to incorperate)

The team of Flair and Anderson go 0-4 in the month of
September. Thats a shocker. Nice to see them putting over some other teams.

Vader is an awesome compedator, he does have the main event status. Which export of Vader are you using?

Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see the next set of rules!

americamamushiPosted on 07/25/04 at 20:32:53

I'm using Vader from the latest official TNM export release
