Good thing then that I've got a new BTB coming soon~!

When I first joined I only really looked at a couple of threads, but I think over time you get more into BTB because now there are several threads I look at as soon as they are updated.

Right, I've kind of a painted myself into a corner here with a future storyline I'm running.

I have a heel who I want to be dominant and basically rule over the face. However, the face's ally is set to turn on him at an event near in the future. The story is that the face's ally is being controlled by the heel but when the two allies face each other, I want them to not be able to find it in themselves to defeat the other. This will lead to a 2 on 3 tag team match for the face ally's freedom between the two face allies and the hell and his 2 cronies.

The end result works out that the ally wins back his freedom. However, I don't want to let the heel to look weak by jobbing, particularly because the rest of the storyline will revolve around the face trying to get the duke over the heel, but if he's already been defeated by the face before, it kind of ruins the whole thing.

So does anyone have any ways of letting the face team win cleanly while making sure that the heel team look dominant? Usually it would be simple to just let the heel henchmen take the pin, but I still think it would spoil the momentum to have this undefeatable heel being defeated without being in the pin.

Have a debut from a new guy to interfere and join the faces to fight off the heels?

Have one of the heels break away? Or have an authority figure screw them over ever so slightly?

In the match, have a stipulation that benefits the faces, for example if it was The Hardy Boyz (as an example) have the match a ladder match, so at least then the heels could say "we weren't expected to win" ya ya ya, and could set up a future rematch.

Duly noted, thanks for the help!

Alright, how important is match length for you people? I am trying to write out a show, and my matches aren't that long. I am not the best promo or match writer, so I was just wondering what you guys thought?

**Stojy** · 03-22-2011, 10:22 PM

Match length isn't important for weekly shows. I prefer the promos I read to have some length/substance to them though.

**Renegade™** · 03-22-2011, 10:26 PM

Yeah for weekly shows, matches don't need to be anything more than a few sentences highlighting the key points you want us to know about. Promo's take center stage for the majority of weekly shows, as do matches for PPV.

**DTJ** · 03-22-2011, 10:30 PM

Well this is a Pay Per View... It's my first show that I'm writing for this BTB, but like I said, I'm not a strong promo or match writer at all. I'm trying my best, writing stuff out in full though.

**Stojy** · 03-22-2011, 10:41 PM

In that case, I'd like a decent amount of detail for the matches. This is personal preference though, do what you're comfortable with.
