I donāt know about you, but I feel like this place is missing is some fun weekly threads. The problem is, I need some help coming up with them. Thatās where you come in!
We donāt need a āfun threadā everyday. Iād say Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday are prime candidates.
Here are a few ideas. Everything is (hot &) flexible; nothingās set in stone:
Sunday - A thread where users can post their favourite matches from the past. The match can be from dailymotion, youtube, or any other site that allows you to watch without leaving the fediverse. Matches can be from any era and any promotion.
This could land on a different day. The reason I picked Sunday is because there isnāt usually wrestling on Sunday, and as its a weekend people might have more time to actually watch some matches.
Meme/GIF Mondays - A thread where people can post their favourite memes/GIFās from the past week in wrestling.
Beyond those two, Iām stumped. A weekly general discussion thread would be great but Iām not sure which day that should land onā¦and I donāt know if I want a general discussion thread pinned for a week if it doesnāt garner much interest. A āFantasy bookingā thread would be fun also, but I need some help figuring out how that should workāIs it fantasy booking shows or wrestlers?
What do you guys think? And if you have any ideas please share them. Letās put our brains together and make this place even better.
I love the Sunday bit but, honestly, Iād love a rewatch club of things matches from the past (any time period) and discuss them - almost like a book club but for matches.
(I know a lot of networks donāt have a āwatch partyā option cough but there are other ways)
I really like this idea. Post a free match/show for folks to discuss, and maybe even also invite users to ānominateā matches for future weeks.
Itās a way to keep history alive too as itās being gobbled up by private companies!
I have more to say later (all positive! Just minor things to iron out first) but I just wanted to pop back in and say this is a terrific idea.
Hey, sorry Iāve taken so long.
I think the āwrestling book clubā is an amazing idea! My only issue is that I donāt think I can run it. I might be stretched a bit too thin these next few weeks/months and I need to start taking stuff off my plate instead of adding to it, if that makes sense?Soooo how would you feel about running the club? ;) No worries if you canāt. Iāll ask around and see if anyone else would like to.
Can I say Iād help someone? :)
Because, tbh, my mental health is really not in a place to coordinate events like this sigh; sorry!
Of course! And I completely understand.
Any ideas on how we should run it? Iām not too familiar with how book clubs operate.
Sure! Typically you would have a set date where everyone would meet - IRL or online - each month (or however frequent you want the meetings; I wouldnāt go more than once a month) and then maybe a few weeks prior to that date, the title of the book (or, in this case, video, match, etc) would be announced so people can get a copy of it and watch it to be ready for the discussion.
This is why they generally donāt require a LOT of management but there is a little needed to coral everyone :P
(Iām thinking about joining a book club in my apartment to get out more so Iām going through all the steps now)
Perfect! Thanks. I have a few more questions/ideas I want to bounce off you but Iāll ask you tomorrow. Dynamiteās about to snag all of my attention lol
Of course :D
Maybe the occasional kayfabe thread? Not sure how popular that would be though.
I do like the idea of memes on Monday, to help start the week. Talking about old matches or ābook clubbingā it also sounds fun.
I would like community where you can post matches and memes anytime I would rather the main sub not get filled up with memes and stuff
I think itās a good idea to group some things together to keep them contained or more condensed. Iām not going to spam CM Punk memes across singular threads because that would be obnoxious to anyone that doesnāt want to see CM Punk memes.
