Hey guys, now that we're all getting more comfortable with the Network format and trying to get our feds moving at full pace I wanted to remind everyone about Global Shows and the X*Crown- just in case you forgot or didn't know yet because you're newer.
Global Shows
Four Yearly Events
I don't want to overload the feds with having to balance their PPVs as well as XHF Network global events, so I figure 4 (well more but I'll explain later) is probably enough as a base. These are the events I'm thinking
Spring- The XHF Network Rumble- Back in the day, the XHF used to hold a rumble match (as feds tend to do) but with one difference from the WWE version- everyone on the roster at the time was automatically entered. The XHF Network Rumble match would be the same; but instead of automatically entering the roster, we'd probably have a sign-up for everyone just so we know who'd be able to rp for it. The winner would be eligible for a shot at any championship in their representative fed (including the X*Crown if the holder was in their fed). There would also be a multi-man for the X*Crown (The XHF Network's only global title) featuring guys from every fed. Other matches would be determined by the feds (like if they wanted any other matches on the show)
Summer- Overheated- July is the XHF Network's birthday month and what a better way than a SUPER DUPER CARD! Overheated would have every belt on the line (including a multi-man for the X*Crown). I'd recommend that instead of holding an individual PPV, every fed just considers July's Overheated to be that month's PPV. This would be the WrestleMania of the XHF Network. Due to the feds still growing we've decided to forgo this year's (2017) Overheated and will instead do it next year.
Fall- The End of Days Tournament- This would actually not be one big event, but several small events spread out over the fall. We'd run a tournament with maybe 3-5 representatives from each fed (depending on how many feds there are) and then each show would feature matches in the tournament. The final show would be just two matches (unless member feds wanted to put other matches on it as well): the tournament finals and a muliti-man for the X*Crown with guys from each fed. The tournament winner would be entitled for a shot at any championship in his representative fed (including the X*Crown if the champion is currently in his fed). The feds themselves would be able to choose their tournament representatives and X*Crown match guys however they wanted. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE I WANT TO START THE EoD TOURNAMENT IN MID-LATE AUGUST THIS YEAR SO FIGURE OUT WHO'S IN AND WHO'S OUT IN YOUR FED
Winter- Name TBD- This big event could have any number of things going on. I'm interested to hear what you, people who aren't me, would like to do for this event. Anyway, as you can probably guess, it'll feature a multi-man for the X*Crown, lol.
**[Update: The winter event is Supremacy]
Fed vs Fed Specials
The XHF was born from an invasion angle and so the Network is more than happy to help host events featuring two or more feds fighting. Be it for pride or some bigger stipulation; if two feds (or more, I suppose) want to throw down, then an Xtraction event can be lined up. In the past, the XHF has usually had the main event be an "Xtraction" match, a 10-man tag match usually with some big stipulation on the line
Spotlight Shows
I haven't really talked much about the X*Crown yet. So I'll do that now. The X*Crown is a championship that consists of defunct World Championships (that is to say, the belt's fed closed). It currently has like...20(?) belts in it. Due to it's nature, this belt would be the only global title, changing hands at one of the inter-fed events and then remaining in whichever fed the title holder is in until the next big global show (being defended there until then). BUT the X*Crown has a special rule: if someone offers a defunct World Championship; they can receive a shot at the X*Crown. If the person doing this happens to currently be in another fed than the title holder, we'll set up a spotlight show that would highlight both feds. Each fed would contribute a couple matches and the main event would be a 1-on-1 for the X*Crown to determine which fed takes the X*Crown home.
Further Notes on the X*Crown
Being a "Global" title, the X*Crown falls under the jurisdiction of the XHF Network and its admins. Any global matches featuring the X*Crown will have their winners determined by the XHF Network admins and possibly trusted members should there be a tie. However, between global shows, any fed-specific matches for the X*Crown will be judged by the admins of the fed holding the crown. The X*Crown is subject to the 30-day rule; however there is a twist. If the X*Crown is not defended within 30 days, it will not only be vacated (duh) but will also become fed-neutral again. That is to say, if your fed has the X*Crown but it isn't defended, your fed will lose the X*Crown and it'll return to the XHF Network until the next global event.
Certain holders and challengers of the X*Crown fall into a weird zone of fed neutrality. If the current holder of the X*Crown has no home fed (either by winning as an outside challenger or his/her fed closing or something) then said X*Crown holder may choose where to defend next- though they still must defend within 30 days of winning the title. The same can be said about special challengers who are able to win the title utilizing the "World Title Clause" (more on that below) before actually joining a fed (though they'll need to submit some sort of temporary application before participating in the match). Once said person becomes X*Crown Champion, they'll have to choose which fed they want to defend in.
The World Title Clause- As noted above, the X*Crown is composed of defunct world championships from other companies. Anybody may challenge for the X*Crown by presenting a defunct world title from another fed for integration. After the match said world title will become part of the X*Crown and may no longer be held/utilized by the challenger (be he/she the winner or loser of the match). It's a risky gamble, but has paid off for some people in the past. As noted, anyone can invoke the World Title Clause as long as they have a former world championship and sufficient proof that they're carrying the real deal and the fed is dead; even someone who's never wrestled in the Network before. The Eggplant Championship is not a real world title, Kuroi.
The X*Crown is the last hurrah for many feds. The only part of them that still lives on. It is a tribute to those feds and to efedding (in character: "wrestling") in general. As such the title and it's owner should be treated with appropriate respect.
The Physical Form- So what does the X*Crown look like? At it's core, the X*Crown is represented by the belts that make it up. So, if the X*Crown Champion wanted to bring all of the titles out for matches/promos, he/she could do that- though said person might need a wheelbarrow to do so, lol. Some champs therefore have opted just to carry either one or a few of the titles that mean the most to them out of the collection. Others have chosen to utilize a single representative "X" belt- I don't really like this method but it is the champion's choice. A champion could also opt to utilize the belt plates in their entrance attire. For example, when Congo the Destroyer was champion, he had a robe made of the various title plates and a crown with the front plate of the four original X*Crown championships. we're not too picky, just don't melt the gold down or anything.
Added RP Location- Along with winning the X*Crown itself, the champion also is given the key to the X*Crown Vault. A room in the XHF Network basement used to store the titles. Different champs have presented the room differently based on their personalities. As the champ you're allowed to customize the room to your liking and use it in rps.
I think that's all I've got for now, if there are any questions, ask them!
