So as many of you, might arealdy know in October XHF will be holding EoD 2021.
So what we need to do is put one representative forward for the single tournament.
This begs the question, who is willing to go forward to representative LSA in the tournament?
End of Days is a five week event with four shows (usually hosted by the feds) that lead into the main PPV. This year, the big show is happening ON HALLOWEEN!! On the lead-in shows we will have the main bracket matches for the tournaments. If any feds HOST one of these shows they will be double publicized and you will get some creative say in the matches as well as the chance to give your opinions on the RPs for the tourneys. You can add any matches from your fed to the show cards as it is essentially a show in YOUR fed, that hosts the tourney matches as well. The schedule is as follows:
Week 1: Name TBD - October 3, 2021 - Location TBD
Week 2: Name TBD - October 10, 2021 - Location TBD
Week 3: Road to End of Days (Hosted by CAR) - October 17, 2021 - Kings Mountain National Military Park, Kings Mountain, South Carolina - Capacity: 1000
Week 4: Name TBD (Hosted by Fireside) - October 24, 2021 - Location TBD near Philly Capacity: ????
Week 5: End of Days: Battlefield - October 31, 2021 - Omaha Beach, Normandy, France - Capacity: 5000
What’s the Theme?
As you might see from the names and locations already chosen, the theme for this year’s End of Days is battlefields. Not quite the horror or violence of the themes from previous years, and more about honoring those that have fought in those intense battles. This also goes with our theme for this year’s event, “Don’t Back Down” by Mammoth WVH (hat tip to Price for the suggestion!), which will be the soundtrack to our epic final battle at the D-Day site on the beaches of Normandy.
Weeks 1 and 2 are still unspoken for, so that’s where YOU come in! Sign up to have your fed host one of the weeks and you’ll get to help craft the title and location, plus...
What does hosting get me?
Glad you asked, hypothetical fed head! If you co-host one of the shows, you get to pick out the name and location of the show, provided it follows the aforementioned theme. Not only that, but you will get your opinion heard on the tournament matches, and you get to pick the stipulations for all the tourney matches. You also get to flavor it as a show in your fed. Your announce team, your match writing style, your show format, and add however many of your own fed matches as you want. It's basically a mini-PPV.
What about the main PPV then?
WWell you sure are full of good questions ... I'ma call you Steve. Well Steverino, the main PPV for EOD usually is a culmination of the tournament and hosted the finals in the past. But ... this year ... well this year is different. So what we need from the feds is ONE showcase match you want to be held on the global stage, XHF announcers, XHF stylizing, DT's careful guiding hand. AKA please send us a title match of some sort to stick on the show. (Or some otherwise impressive match from your promotion.) The PPV will feature an XHF Junior Heavyweight Title match, an XHF Global Tag Team Title match, an X*Crown Title match, and then a showcase match from each fed.
Ok so here's the first info you guys will be needing. Fed heads of the following companies will be entitled to send ONE representative to the End of Days singles tournament.
Fireside (The champion does not count so you still get a rep)
Syndicate Wrestling and Tradition
Northern Pro Wrestling
Fullmetal Wrestling Alliance
Japanese Renaissance of Kakuto
Sin City Championship Wrestling
Greatest Unappreciated Network Stars
Competitive Automotive Racing
Next Level Wrestling
Lucha Subterranea Azteca
As a note: AML is not fully running yet, Tara's Cruise is a one off event, and Ultimate Wrestling has typically forgone the events like this.
PLEASE TURN IN YOUR REPS BY AUGUST 31! These will be publicly viewable so wildcards can see who is in. Please refrain from sending in your top champions, top champions are ineligible.
That takes care of 10 slots… that means we have six spots left over. So what do we do with them? Well they're open to anyone ... who isn't a World Champ in a fed ... or already handling a character in the tournament (no double duty this year, folks).
How do you sign up? Well with only six spots and a bunch of people likely wanting in ... anyone who wants a spot must audition! Post in the global RP forum between September 1st and 14th - ONE RP, 1000 WORDS MAX on why you should be in the tournament!
But why would you want to put yourself through this challenge? After all the EOD tourney is 2 RPs at 2k words max and with a 5 day RP window for each week ... except week 1 which is 2 weeks. That's a lot of promoing. Well ... The winner of the tourney, determined week 4 ... will get a ONE ON ONE shot at EOD PPV proper for the X*Crown!. That's right baby we changed the format. All matches for a given round take place on one week of the tourney. 8 matches week 1, 4 week 2, 2 week 3 and the finals on week 4. The winner doesn't get a briefcase, the winner gets a rare ONE ON ONE with the champ for the title. Unfortunately this means no more briefcase shenanigans in the months after, and no consolation prizes unless your fed head wants to give you one.
TAG TEAM ANNIHILATOR RETURNS
The popular Tag Team Annihilator will make a return to the EOD festivities! This is an 8 team tournament starting week 2 (so a 3 week RP window for that one), with the semi finals week 3 and finals week 4. The winners get the exclusive rights to challenge for the tag titles at the EOD PPV Proper. This one is open sign ups and I'll post a sign up sheet in the RP forum where you can just sign up, not in character or anything. Again one character per handler in the tourney (or one full team if you control both guys, that's fine). You are allowed to participate in both the Annihilator and the EOD singles tourney if you don't fear burnout (Donzig). This is the same as last year, you get points for every non-title match you compete in so just showing up is worth the points for teams who don't get many matches.
XHF JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE
The October JHW title shot is CAR's to use but ... they don't have any junior heavyweights that Mongo will acknowledge on their roster ... so in the interest of fairness, and to boost her week 3 show ... h2f is asking for 4 Junior Heavyweights to participate in a race! The rules are still 1 RP 1500 words max, and her caveat is you cannot have held the JHW title in the past. The four she chooses will compete week 3 in a bicycle race! The top 2 will then have a match at the end to determine who faces the champion at the EOD PPV proper! So contact h2f to sign up by September 30!
Thanks for making these events worth the effort. And thanks ahead of time to my two lovely assistants this year: Reck and Jesse Jamester
If anyone is intresting, can you let kne of the staff know ASAP So we can try and get this sorted.
So what we need to do is put one representative forward for the single tournament.
