For those of you who wish to help by opting in on match writing, here is the layout we ask for when it comes to matches. Please follow the layout below and submit it by google doc link to Steven Brody/LeeAnn Viskan or Jessica Morian on discord or link the google doc in a board DM on here. Make sure the google doc at least has "Read All" permission on it.
Note: Commentary is optional for our opt-in writers. If you feel you know the voices of the announcers well enough, feel free to add in your own commentary. If not, the showrunner will add commentary in after your match is submitted. If you do decide to add in commentary, the colors for the commentators and ring announcer are as followed.
Collision Commentary Team
Nick Hanson: Commentary
Code = #ff0000
Personality: Nick's your straight-edge, play by play commentator that calls things down the middle. Never curses. Chides the heels for doing heel stuff but also acknowledges and compliments their skill and technique. Uses phrases like "folks", and "ladies and gentlemen" when addressing the viewers. Tl;Dr? Think Tony Schiavone.
Jim Reynolds: Commentary
Code = #76A5AF
Personality: Jim's your typical heel, color commentator. Roots for the bad guys and has a soft spot for the gorgeous females on the roster; especially the "bad girls." He's not afraid to use colorful language when calling a match and he usually always disagrees with Nick Hanson on things. Anytime Nick counters his idiocy with an actual logical conclusion, he tends to simply spout "Fuck you, Nicky!" He's an absolute disloyal turncoat and will turn on any former heels that become faces, accusing them of "losing their edge."
Olivia Mayfaire: Commentary
Color = #FFE4E1
Personality: Olivia is Collision's face, color commentator. She calls out the heels for underhanded tactics and roots for the faces and/or underdogs. She's constantly arguing with Jim, whom she often refers to as "Jimmy" and often tells him "Shut the hell up, Jimmy" at least once every episode, sometimes more.
Trauma Commentary Team
Personality: Nick's your straight-edge, play by play commentator that calls things down the middle. Never curses. Chides the heels for doing heel stuff but also acknowledges and compliments their skill and technique. Uses phrases like "folks", and "ladies and gentlemen" when addressing the viewers. Tl;Dr?

Trauma Commentary Team
Miranda Augustino: Commentary
Code = #f535aa
Personality: Trauma's color commentary. She's blunt and to the point BUT SHE IS NOT A HEEL. She judges any and all wrestlers on their in-ring capability but will criticize both foulplay and overly "white bread babyfaces" if she feels like they need an edge to harden up. Miranda's the reason why NFW has an online Network and no TV deal because she'll curse almost like a sailor throughout the show. Addresses the viewers, affectionately, as "bitches" and/or "mama's bitches." Will insult wrestlers she dislikes in Spanish sometimes. Through all of this, Miranda grew up watching wrestling and thoroughly appreciates the sport. She'll remark about the technique of the wrestlers during the match. On the other hand, she'll give blunt opinions. Any characters who's style are purposefully bad such as just hair pulling, scratching, or flat out green, she has no problem saying they suck. She treats broadcast colleague Lucas Knox like a good friend/brother and will constantly pick at him but never means any real harm and will even get between him and the heels if they try to get physical with the broadcast team.
Seth Ernst: Commentary

Seth Ernst: Commentary
Code = #ff9900
Personality: Trauma's play by play commentary. A retired wrestler of 15 years. He calls matches down the middle mostly but has a sense for heels getting their just due. When a face is making their comeback in a match or loses their cool during a segment and lashes out against the heel, Andrew's in full support of them. Nothing makes him happier than seeing the dirtiest heels get their ass whupped. Addresses the audience as "people", "everyone", "everybody."
Lucas Knox: Commentary
Color = #F74848
Personality: Emo goth boy that roots strictly for the faces/underdogs. Constantly picks back and forth with Miranda Augustino like a brother and sister would. He's often the butt of a lot of her harmless jokes and rarely gets offended whereas Miranda never means any actual harm by them.

A basic layout of what we ask for with matches is seen below.
Note: Please account for and include the ring announcers announcement.Entrance for Wrestler #1 - Please go into the wrestler's profile and simply copy and paste their entrance in.
Entrance for Wrestler #2 - Please go into the wrestler's profile and simply copy and paste their entrance in.
(Note: Just like in real wrestling, if you are writing a championship match, the challenger enters first and the champion enters second.)
(Start the match after the entrances)
Note: Entrances are not needed for episodes of Collision and Trauma. They are only needed for Supershows. On regular episodes, simply start the match at the bell. You may simply put "[BELL]" as seen below. The GM in charge of that specific show will enter the graphic for it. Commentary used in the example below is just for reference.[BELL]
Anywhere between 150-200 words of action.

Miranda Augustino: Talktalktalktalk

Please follow this coding outline to the letter. Do not use the font color="#xxxx" layout. When being transferred from docs to the board, it messes everything up. Thank you!
