Question of the Day - 9/2/23

[REQUIEM Puroresu]

Without dragging any names or feds through the mud, do you have any collab horror stories? Would you ever work with that person again?

[Nijima]

Not so much collab issues as much as tried a couple of times to help out a fed admin with writing results and booking ideas. And didn't prove to work out so well. One was... well... just not a good person. The other was a good person, we just had very different ways of looking at things.

So not so much horror as much as just gotta know going in what perspective/outlook and expectations someone has.

It's why I appreciate REQUIEM Puroresu laid out his expectations with IZANAMI (plus we've known each other over 20 years).

The group I came up with included a guy we all like but could be difficult to deal with because he goes a bit off the deep end in fedding whenever he reappears.

Last time he re-emerged I attempted to work a feud with him it was difficult to even have a conversation to plot the feud because every two seconds he had a new outlandish idea that didnt fit either character. I would try to warp the ideas into something that made sense for what we were doing. We would agree to it. Then the process would start over again the next day.

He would run stuff by the fedhead we didnt discuss and be upset when I didnt like the biggest newest change he wanted despite it making no sense. It eventually led to me deciding to just wrestle the one match against him and requesting I never be booked with him in any capacity again because it was just too frustrating to deal with and the game is supposed to be enjoyable.

Still like the guy, will be happy to see him next time he reappears, but dont want to work with him.

My return to efedding in ‘19 was as FTR. I was set to fight the Tag Champs but a handler of another team shoehorned his team into the feud.. which led to a six team, seven handler feud for a PPV title match.

So you had to collaborate and navigate a feud with six moving parts to appease seven different people. Different egos, different time zones, different effort levels.. made for a terrible ordeal

I was working with a rival to get everything set, suddenly the dude completely ghosted me, quit the fed, and I was forced to get a new opponent. This opponent would also quit as we were getting shit together.

Needless to say, for that month, for that title...I was a walking resignation letter.
