And in lengh, it just depends. Me and Shane had a small tied over bumping into each other, but no way would if make sense to go three months over that, as far as I am concerns that fued is done because it fit to be short. And one year fueds won't work at two shows a week, seing how you say you dislike no contests etc.

That's not necessarily true. You could go a few months built on some sort of confrontation.
Flamingo's feud with me spanned about 10 months when it stemmed from a few confrontations backstage throughout the month of August.

I do think that 3 month feuds are grand in other feds. But with two shows a week instead of the regular one, a 3 month ACW feud could be seen as an equivilent of a six month feud elsewhere, and thats not everyone's cup of tea. BUT! There is no "right" or "wrong" way to do it, and tbh, I'm getting pissed at seeing everyone claiming opinion as if its fact. There's no one way to run feuds. You run them the way you want them. If Rep wants to do 3 month feuds and can find people to run them with, good for him. If Dan and Freeman think it's a bad idea, they aren't being forced to feud with him (like they would have been in GWF; bada bump ding!). I fail to see why this is turning into such a problem though.... It really isn't though, Dave. The main sekelton of a feud is a string of TV shows with "chapters" of the feud seperated by PPV events. When you have only one PPV event in a feud, it really isn't like six months in three, just because the TV is doubled. The PPVs are staying the same, and in the end, PPVs measure time in wrestling. As far as your "everyone is different" comment, it really doesn't hold any merit. Regardless of what everyone may think, there is a way that a wrestling feud is supposed to go... and it isn't for one month.

I don't think 3 months is very long, especially since some months only have about 6 shows. Yes, max segment writing is 4- but that doesn't mean you have to write 4, and it doesn't mean every four has to be about the feud you're in. If you properly pace out the work, it can be done. To actually believe that it can't be done up to 3 months or possibly beyond is to believe that you can't be creative enough for that length of time- and that's sad if you can't.

For those with ADD who watch WWE... yes. What does ADD have anything to do with this?

Rep, every feud is different therefore every feud can go as long as it wants.

It's always a face and a heel and it always goes through the same formula. If it doesn't it isn't worth mentioning.

The only one that I know is a basic, "I hate you, you hate me" Feud which is a heel and a face, the heel wins 4 of 5 matches between the two, but the face wins the last one, giving him the win in the feud. Every feud is different because every feud is based off of different things. Disrespect, betrayal, respect, something to prove to people. But if you explain this mythical feud formula you keep speaking of, maybe people wouldn't disagree with you 95 percent of the time

Where do you get this 5 match rule? There's no set number of matches in a feud... you're making things up now.

I appreciate the generalization that if you can't focus on a feud for three months you have ADD considering there are a whole host of a number of other things, including wanting to work with someone else, having to take a break before three months or a whole host of other issues that have come up. I didn't want to get into this, but I take severe offense to someone making fun of something like ADD, something that a person has no control over. This would be akin to me making fun of someone's race, if they have a large forehead, have an eating disorder or a whole list of other things.

Are you retarded? No where did I make fun of someone with ADD... I was comparing an idiotic person who can't sit still with ONE feud for three months to a person who can't sit still or focus on one thing at a time.
I know it sounds ridiculous to a person like you who runs ten angles at once, but feuds that don't go for a four month time period are generally forgotten, and rightfully so. The reason why a feud is interesting are the two sides involved. Not the 25 sides that interchange and come and go like crazy.
Why do you think WCW sucked from 1998 to 2001? Everybody thought like you and wanted to throw the title around and feud with ten people at once and end feuds prematurely with no point to them. It's ADD booking, which is why I used the term ADD. It's universally a recognized phrase. ADD anything is where you can't focus on doing one thing for one fucking minute before you decide that doing something else would be cooler.
Why do you think WCW was so successful in the entire year of 1997? Because the entire year of 1997 was dedicated to Hollywood Hogan and Sting, the nWo and WCW. Not a random assortment of bad angles that went on for two weeks.
Just stop fighting. You're in the hole again.

No, I'm not making things up, that's the basic heel vs face feud the formula behind it is 5 matches where the heel wins 4 for the matches and the face wins the final, big one. Plus if you weren't so far up your own ass, you would have read that I said that the only formula that I knew of was the basic. "I hate you, You hate me" feud.

I was comparing an idiotic person who can't sit still with ONE feud for three months to a person who can't sit still or focus on one thing at a time. Idiots can control their idiocy and thoughts, people that suffer from ADD, ADHD, and the sort can't. That's the point he's making. You didn't make fun of someone with ADD, which is obvious, but comparing someone based on the fact they don't find 3 month feuds interesting because they get bored easliy isn't right. You could have said to people with short attention spans, but no you went full asshole. You never go full asshole you go half asshole (Cookie to who get the reference)
