Subject: Vote: BLOOD Points


  Posted by: Mike D - Sustainer [41831612] Mon, Aug 23, 2004, 15:33

As suggested by our new Wrestling Buddy Bond, James Bond, in the aptly named "Bond is Raw" thread, a vote for Blood Points.

1. Should we award Blood Points? Yes/No
2. If Yes, in what amount? 5/7/10/12, other
3. Should the amount of bleeding affect the points given, where voting could be used if necessary to quantify? Yes/No
4. Should whether someone blades or is busted open the hard way be considered, and if so, should more points be given for being busted open the hard way, where voting could be used if necessary? Yes/No

Ha ha! Love the way this shows up in the new Column format of Guru's----every post kicks this thread to the top! Lol!

Anyway, I vote:
1. Yes
2. 7
3. Yes (PPV quality crimson mask could be more than 7. Say 10, etc.)
4. Yes (because we all love to speculate! Hard way could be a few points more)

I vote no altogether.

I for one will stop scoring Raw if this is counted. Its already difficult enough to score these things. If we try to score blood it will become chaotic. How do we expect to score that if nobody watches/scores Raw or Smackdown as its airing or if nobody tapes it? No detailed report is really going to carry this on a consistent basis so website reports won't help.

Its a funny idea but almost impossible to implement from a scoring standpoint.

1. Yes
2. 5. Or perhaps 5 on TV and 7 or 8 at PPVs.
3. No. I'm of the opinion that we should have as few discretionary issues as possibe, if any at all. Its asking for trouble. No matter how extensively we define the conditions for what amount of points to award, there will always be grey area incidents that will spark arguments that will result in someone coming away slighted.
4. No, sometimes it's hard to tell whether someone bladed or was legitimately busted open, and that brings us to another discretionary issue.

Excellent point, Farn. I posted before seeing your post. We rely heavily on internet recaps and as far as I know none of those sources makes a point to always report bleeding. I'll retract my yes vote for now.

Anyone think their should be bonuses for match type? The big ones anyway?
Like a 10 point Hell-In-A-Cell bonus or something like that? Seeing the cage match made me think of that.

maybe we could do a generic 5 points for matches like the Bullrope match - but elevate the numbers for Hell in a Cell (the highest of course) maybe like 15 and 10 for a Cage.

By listing specifics, +5 for no DQ, + 10 for cage, +15 for TLC (or whatever) we open ourselves up to a couple of issues. What happens if they have a no DQ/TLC/Cage match? +30? What happens if they invent a new gimick for a match? 0 extra points since it isn't on our list?

What happens if they have a no DQ/TLC/Cage match?
Then we would all probably actually order the PPV! :)

but seriously... just make a "no combining" rule or limit of some sort. Because obviously - for example - a Hell in a Cell is by default a no DQ match...

Taking a crack at writing out the details before the formal thread and vote -

A participant cannot recieve more than one Stipulation Bonus per match. They recieve the highest bonus they are eligible for. For example -if its a TLC/Bra+Panties match. And TLC is agreed at 10. And Bra+Panties is 5. The particpants get the 10 and thats it.

starting a rough outline and getting... cut and paste and add/subtract matches and the way you see this broken down with your opinions...

hopefully by the end here we have the numbers worked out and most matches addressed to add to a formal proposal Voting thread. If a new match comes up - we can as a group decide its point value using this as a basis. It would have to be something significant to get in the upper levels though...

What counts as a stipulation? No DQ would be one, right? How about more than one fall? I think that pool of pudding matches and such are usually scored as in-ring vignettes in this league. How about tag matches with more than 4 people? How about mixed tag matches? What about an I quit match? What if the stipulation has something to do with the fate of a wrestler or diva not in the actual match, like a 'til death do us part' match or the Test/Steiner match for Stacy Kiebler?

I see tag matches as... well, tag matches no matter how many people involved. As far as the i.e. til death do us part match. I think that the stipulation has to relate to HOW the match is decided. Not WHAT it decides.

I was pretty strongly against this at first, now I'm teetering. One thing I think the rule should be absolutely clear about is that if a match stipulation that we have not listed is brought in it should automatically get either no points or the minimum (5 points) for a stipulation, no matter how dynamic it might seem, Nuclear Holocost match or a Biblical Armegeddon match or whatever it might be.

Yeah I think that will be easiest to determine.

You see me climb the ladder and win. Thats definitive. Or climbing out of the cage. Or a match that is organized specially (as was added below)...

Getting a date with Stacy because you won (or even Til Death Do Us Part which was pretty cool) aren't really any different than normal matches IMO.

forgot a VERY important Stipulation match which is certainly deserving. The 60 minute Ironman.

Also don't forget a lumberjack match (I suggest 10 points for that).

There's another kind of match who's name I can't remember. You have to beat one guy, hen the next guy, then the next guy and the next and so on. We used to call it King of the Mountain in high school wrestling practice. I know that Chave won one of these kinds of matches, probably late in Season 2 or early Season 3.

And yes, any new stipulation would recieve 0 or 5 assuming it fits into that group well. And if its really unique - then I think we would need to see a match completed before voting on how much its worth in the future.

why is a casket match worth more than a cage match? or a ladder match? or an i quit match, for that matter?

it's one of the lamest matches ever.

even more lame than a texas bullrope match, which, if done right, kicks ass.

even more lame than a coal miner's glove match,which, if done right, is still stupid.

I would say if they ring a bell - and someone has their hand raised at the end. Then by all means... 5 point Jello or Mud bonus.

We just need to come up with generic titles for those types of matches or weapons matcheslike Tree was mentioning and have them be 5 points until we decide it deserves consideration to a higher tier on our current 3 Tier system.

will these broad categorizations do?

Weapons Match
Foreign Substance Match (Mud/Jello)

and yes Tree - Stairway to Hell would be a 15 pointer - but we will NEVER see it in WWE so its irrelevant.

but I guess what MITH says is true too - I think the mud/jello match is up to the discretion of the scorer. IF its in the ring and is like a normal match - just with mud all over the place then sure. If in a pool on the entrance way and really not official... guess we keep that as a vignette...

not sure if those tag matches count. at least not he tornado one - cause thats just a tag match where all four are in the ring. along the lines of the three way dance not being included.

The elmination is a question as mentioned before. I guess 5 points bonus for that format is worthwhile.
Especially for an official Survivor Series match.

Important to note Battle Royal/Royal Rumble not included because they are their own monster which has been dealt with seperately and are now scored accordingly.

I've been out of town all weekend so excuse my tardiness.

I'm just not a huge fan of this whole proposal. It just seems like a lot more scoring to do. And we have enough problems getting scoring done now. I have basically handled 95% of the Raw scoring. Smackdown has been hit and miss amongst a few people.

To add more scoring things to the mix will make it even harder. And we are also opening things up to subjective rulings on weird matches they make up on a random Raw. Just seems like a lot more headaches and debates.

But I can go with the flow if we can really make this ironclad without subjective material (or as best we can outside of bizzarre things).

I actually don't think there will be that much debate. The majority of these will be 5 point bonus and are pretty obvious where a match type will slide in.

Hell, WWE doesn't do anything revolutionary anyway... we have seen it all before or some variation of it.

I wouldn't mind doing the "stipulation scoring" say with another person like Mike D or Wiggs who I can easily contact if its open to discussion.
I am gonna try and do some Smackdown's this season anyway.

#73 has a great similarity to a Casket Match. So I would score it as such.

what about a kiss or burn the flag match? or a broiler room brawl? or a car trunk match?

or a flaming dumpster match?

Just back from an overextended Labor Day weekend vacation and I come back to this? LOL

In honor of the title of this thread, shouldn't there be a point stipulation for a "First Blood" match?

Whats a broiler room brawl? Is it actually boiler room brawl? Either way, what is it?

With Kane blading on Monday's RAW, this was another opportunity to award blood points. In context, blood points (3, 5 or even 10 points) should be applied, IMHO, if the INTENT was to have a wrestler bleed. Clearly this one of those instances.

Obviously with such a physical sport as wrestling there will be numerous times where accidental bleeding will occur. Points should NOT be awarded under that scenerio. However, it's my contention that intentional bleeding/blading is, for the most part, quite obvious to the common viewer in regards to both the performer and the story that is being told within the context of the match.

I don't think we want to differentiate. If we are gonna do blood then it shouldn't matter. If somebody bleeds at their job on accident they should still be rewarded. :)
