  1. Rumors that Creative wants to break up the stable to push one of the members as a single?

    There aren’t enough spots in a pay-per-view event for everyone in the stable. Who sits out the event and misses the big payday?

  2. Here’s some generic prompts, maybe one of them will work with what you have going on?

    A love (or lust) triangle!

    Someone gets a bigger payday than the others (for a bad reason, a good reason or no reason at all)

    Someone wants to join the stable. Or, someone wants to leave the stable.

    A rib goes south (turns more serious or injurious than intended).

    The crowd turns on someone in the stable, so they get sidelined without having a chance to make it right.

    The top singles wrestler wants to work a program with someone in the stable, but on the condition that nobody else gets involved (and thus, putting the stable in danger of being broken up or sliding down the card).

  3. Thanks, all. How about some good questions to draw players out in terms of describing their characters backstage?

    They all have their gimmicks pretty well developed, but not much flesh on them as people.

  4. What do you do on the very few days-off that you get?

    Does your family know that you do this? Do your friends?

    Are you still going to be doing house shows ten years from now, or do you have bigger ambitions?

    Among your co-workers, who is your closest friend? Your biggest rival? Who turns you off? Who turns you on?
