* make sure to stress how mechanically important Momentum, Heat, and Audience can be

* have a print out of the wrestling move pictures

Edit:

The Wrestlers:

Long Arm: The Gatekeeper played by Mark Causey

Baba Yaga: The Monster; played by Kelley Vanda

Animal: The Hardcore played by Richard Rogers

Tractor: The Jobber played by William Nichols

El Chupacabra: The High-Flyer played by Paul Edson

Booster Rocket: The Veteran played by E.T. Smith

Some Highlights: Animal was scheduled to wrestler Tractor after Tractors return from an Injury, Animal not even knowing who Tractor was demanded a match with Baba Yaga in addition.

Tractor vs Animal: Tractor tried to steal the victory and the fans loved it! In the end, Animal won the match breaking kayfabe right back.

Another insanely fun moment came during the match between Baba Yaga and Animal, Baba using her monster move that lets her have a specialty match, made the ring a Russian winter match, where the mat was replaced with ‘ice’, and at one point Baba squatted over animal and shouted “Baba Yaga has given birth to a new daughter!” then slid Animal across the ring as the fans ate it up.

Early on, El Chupacabra botched a promo, so right before his scheduled title match with Booster Rocket, creative came to him and told him the HARD move; Turn face during this match, or you’re going to become the new Tractor.  The look on Pauls face was priceless.

He totally turned face, and the Veteran, who had been trying to hold the High-flyer back, let him win clean, only for Tractor to try and run out to stop iit all!  But he botched that roll, and didn’t have the momentum, so Long Arm just knocked him down on the way to the ring.

A fun time and while we started with 4 heels and 2 faces, we ended with 4 faces and 2 heels!

Do you need to be in control of a match to use a ROLE Move?

Example, I recently ran at Camp Nerdly, and the Jobber Broke Kayfabe to pin the Hardcore, and he rolled an 11! so the corwd was super shocked and into it!  He was in narrative control at the time.

The Hardcore only had 2 momentum, and was a heel, so he had enough momentum, but at spur of the moment I told him, he could interrupt for 1 momentum, and then roll “BREAK KAYFABE”

So whats the official?

Carrying a Lantern to the ring, in an open air arena, at 7 pm in California…just looks stupid.

So, the finals for the Journeymans cup should totally be the big ‘PPV’  But we obviously need matches leading up to that main event.

So my idea is, if we can’t easily get Bolt and Scythe together, we could run the ‘PPV’ over multiple hangout sessions.

Cause Crak and Atomo have to have it out!
