Dealing with downtime.
MERRY SEXMAS! Hope everyone is having a sexy holiday season, and you celebrate Jesus‘ bday by standing in long lines and consume, consume, consume.
Being this is Christmas, it gives me another topic idea. Hopefully, you all see that adorable “topic idea” link above this article and you use it. Because coming up with ideas about pretending to be a fake wrestler on the internet is not easy.
Christmas is a time for family, a time for lauging, a time for giving… what the hell am I talking about? Christmas is a shit eating contest meant to see how bad you can make your competitors look by buying the best gifts you can afford, and sometimes can’t afford. Christmas is a time for pleasing the high expectations of spoiled brats who haven’t really been that bad all year, but they manage to annoy the hell out of you at least 300 days of it. Christmas is a time for pissing off the wife, who will never, ever really like your gift. There’s always something better you could have gotten her.
Christmas is also a time for downtime in ewrestling, except for those without much of a life.
Dealing with downtime in ewrestling doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. There’s ALWAYS going to be a time when posting slows and flaking grows.
1. Have a “Rumble”.
If you have a few guys that are dedicated enough to post through the dark times, you can always have a battle royal just for fun. Not to mention, this might give you somewhat of a break in writing results because it’s only a single match.
2. Have a rerun
I don’t really recommend taking breaks, they tend to kill off a dying fed. Taking a break, like in life doesn’t rejuvenate anything, if anything it makes you more tired. You ever taken a half hour nap and not want to just curl back up in your desk chair with a book holding up your head?
Having a rerun show, can give you a slight break but keep you working. Just pick a recent favorite show and re-post it with some new comments about it.
This gives you a chance to brag about work that you were proud of as well.
3. Do some maintenance.
What better chance to work on that project you were going to do, but had to write a bunch of matches? You can also take some time to look at feds that are doing good and steal their ideas!
This is a perfect chance to shake things up a bit, maybe re-think your direction or switch up some titles.
4. Host a tournament.
Not as easy as I just suggested, but if you have the time you can always have an “open invitational” tournament, at least in RK’s case people go nuts when I even mention a tournament. It takes a lot of hard work, but if you’ve read previous articles here, you have already been working on your reputation and you should be able to pull off at least a 16 man tournament.
This gives you a great amount of exposure and it will show everyone, INCLUDING YOURSELF if you really have what it takes to run a good organization, and you might even get members out of it. Just don’t be a fucking douche and use it as a recruiting tool.
That’s all I feel like writing tonight. I know it’s short, but I am not forcing out words.
So bye.

The idea of a tournament is not a bad idea. In ICW we held an eight man tournament New Years Eve where six of the eight people showed would have been seven except one guy got the deadline confused. Over all not a bad turn out giving the holidays.
