I love the Sunday bit but, honestly, I'd 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 don't have a "watch party" 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 "nominate" matches for future weeks.
It's a way to keep history alive too as it's 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 I’ve taken so long.
I think the ‘wrestling book club’ is an amazing idea! My only issue is that I don’t 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 can't. I'll ask around and see if anyone else would like to.
Can I say I'd 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? I'm 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 wouldn't 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 don't require a LOT of management but there is a little needed to coral everyone :P
(I'm thinking about joining a book club in my apartment to get out more so I'm going through all the steps now)
Perfect! Thanks. I have a few more questions/ideas I want to bounce off you but I'll ask you tomorrow. Dynamite's about to snag all of my attention lol
Of course :D
I think it's a good idea to group some things together to keep them contained or more condensed. I'm not going to spam CM Punk memes across singular threads because that would be obnoxious to anyone that doesn't want to see CM Punk memes.
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
