Well well well, we meet again. DOCTOR VENT- ... oh ... oh it's you guys again. *checks watch* I mean, End of Days is still a long way off. What's uh ... what's going on?
*some whispers off screen*
OH! Oh ok. XHF NETWORK ARE YOU READY FOR THE RETURN OF AN XHF ORIGINAL?
ARE YOU READY!?
So as you all know the Junior Heavyweight title is a touring belt and moves from fed to fed. Well we are hitting the bottom of the list where a bunch of new feds live and where we'd lost a few feds since January. In my silliness I accidentally swapped NPW and CAR on the list and gave CAR the October spot ... and we've already set up the bicycle race and I don't want to change that. NPW however is unable to host the September JHW title match. And as you know, the title MUST be defended at least once in each calendar month. Our current champ is a free agent and his current challenger is from an angled fed in which I wouldn't want to throw a monkey wrench to their scheduling.
So ... the admins and I decided to just take on a tad bit of extra work and give everybody a chance at the title! So to speak.
The old XHF had an event called Cruiserfest. It's the event that made Nelly Angel a star instead of an interviewer. It began as a FIFA style tournament with blocks, and knockout rounds. Ishnari (Slain/Thob) or Carlos (Velez/Destruction) came up with it. It morphed into a ladder scramble similar to Money in the Bank. Well ... in order to keep the schedule where it needs to be we are resurrecting the name.
So this year the format is much simpler. Either Bloodied Fox or Adrien Cochrane will enter automatically as the champion. The loser is also welcome to enter if they so choose. This event will be open to ANY XHF NETWORK SUPERSTAR UNDER 220 POUNDS! No random rapid weight cuts please, you must have been 220 or under as of the posting of this write up. Everyone who signs up before September 1 will be entered into the event. And the main event will be an over the top rope battle royale for the title! We compete by XHF Junior Heavyweight Title rules so everyone gets ONE ROLEPLAY OF UP TO 1500 WORDS!
If you wish to join just PM the admins (that is Dylan, Mongo, vastrix, and myself). Sign ups will be secret until Sept 1, in the morning Eastern time when I will post the card for the one off event. At that point you will see just how many people, and who, you have to deal with. And you will have 2 weeks to get your roleplays in. Deadline will be Sept. 14 at 11:59PM Eastern.
Please keep in mind this is a global title defended in a different fed every month. It is always 1RP at 1500 words and judged by the global admins. And in October you will be defending at End of Days: Battlefield (Oct. 31) against the winner of the bicycle race from Week 3 in CAR. November is a FIRESIDE title defense and December is NLW.
BUT THAT'S NOT ALL!
Since this will be a special exhibition show, we will be allowing feud matches AS LONG AS the people involved find their owner bookers/writers for the match. The Network Admins will be focused on the Cruiserfest rps, but the show is still a good extra chance to showcase your characters if you're into that sort of thing. Just let us know (both people in the match to verify) the deets and we'll put you on the card.
