Well fuck the Royal Battle; we can just follow the same plans people had because I know we had quite a good card on our hands.
If it was to be the last show we could just take a Ring of Honour idea and have a 2 night special so we can have dream matches etc.
But another idea that popped into my head is we could just turn this fed in a new direction and more like ROH meaning we have two belts World and Tag. It is more about wrestling not storylines really so that way we can have shows whenever we want meaning people don’t have to fully commit and can be here when they want and if they leave or take time out it wouldn’t really affect anything or mess up anyone.
Just an idea.

Actually, I wouldn't mind that idea. Maybe a show or two every two weeks, no real PPVs although a big show is needed every once in a while for the big cards. That way, people have the time to write quality matches and yet we put up some top shows.

But the biggest question mark is the IMDbWE title match at NoC. Vampire is a lock to be crowned new IMDbWE champion with the title vacated, since he was a #1 contender for the IMDbWE title at the Royal Battle, but now, how are we gonna decide who the #1 contender is gonna be?

Well to my knowledge Tauros you know better then me but ROH now have PPV’s every 2 or 3 months and then have shows every 3 weeks I think which I suppose would make life easier for people sure we wouldn’t be doing stuff every week but lets be honest when do we have a full Battlezone and people moan they never have enough time. 3 weeks to write a match I am sure could be done and like you said Big Shows or PPV’s every two or three months.

I think worrying about the direction the fed is going is a little more important at the moment and anyway I would still be willing to face Vampire at Night of Champions and maybe continue for a month or two if I had too but I do not have time to do major build up etc for the next two months if the next show was NOC III it might be different for me.

I like the having shows 3 weeks apart idea, but unless everyone is willing to get involved, it now all boils down to me and Tauros. Now thanks to evan and everyone leaving because of him, we're basically holding IMDbWE hostage, if me or Tauros leave, then there's gonna be no vets to put the new guys over, and then IMDbWE will have no direction and be considered dead by default.

Well, if the title is vacated, then utilize Vamps & Daniels in a match to determine the new champion, since Vamps was already the #1 contender to the title and Daniels would-be Royal Battle winner. If Preston wants to continue on for a month or two as champ, then fine with him, otherwise, Vamps could take it. Simple as that.
Two weeks is best. It's short enough that people don't get bored, but it's long enough that people don't complain about time, as well as the fact that we'd have a solid card every show.

You do not need vets to put people over another reason we should try be more like ROH, it just about wrestling not who you are just putting on great matches. No storylines or anything just good shows which YES could turn out boring or could work but it would make more sense with a lighter schedule for people I think.

We don't need no stinkin' vets.
The young guys can still put the young guys over, if two of the newer guys step up and produce a good feud, then boom, we've got some good main event guys.
Besides, if need be, we'll just cannibalize the legends. That could work.
And RoH does actually have storylines, they're just not as big-time as WWE or the lousy TNA writing. Look at the Age of the Fall, or the Danielson vs. Nigel feuds.

Tauros has got it right here. 2 weeks is perfect. 3 titles seems best to me (IMDBWE Championship, Tag Team Championship, Women's Championship). Let's turn a bad thing into a good thing: we can turn this fed around into something consistently great without it being such a time drainer.

That sounds like a good card, and accurate, too, with what people have planned at the moment, though NoC is our WrestleMania, so it should have more than 6 matches, any flagship PPV should have no less than 8 matches on it IMO, so maybe we throw in a filler match, like a Monster's Ball, Gauntlet, or MitB match, or something, or maybe MitB and one of the other 2.
