Now that the redesign is done, it's time for a rebrand.

I'm all for the wrestling being integral in our community again as it will generate tons of traffic.
I think I wanted that to begin with but I don't remember. General chat forums are impossible to market, they were before social media existed and now that social media exists, it's almost suicidal to put "board" or "forum" in your market detail as well. People just don't like those now, or they -think- they don't and they just call them by different names (community, network, etc.). Also I would stray away from being "bored" of wrestling as well, you don't want to attract 100% negative nancies - it's our job to turn the positive people into negative nancies.. lol j/k

So I'm not really 100% keen on any of these URL's but I can't think of any better. I also don't think "IWC" would generate anything more than a few more faces, because most people who start looking up a place to chat about wrestling don't know terms like "IWC" yet. I know I learned most all of that in my first week or two back on WWE-Club. WWE-Club, btw, didn't fail to generate traffic - it had tons of traffic. It just had a really super Cartman-esque "respect my authoritah" female moderator and an admin that wanted to lick her whitemeatbabyface all day and night.

Here's a few I'll spitball to the pile: (.com/.net on all suggestions)

wrestlingismore.com (More Than Entertainment in the tag)
dontsuckwrestling/doesntsuckwrestling/wrestlingdoesntsuck etc. (some variation)
eraofwrestling.com
bestofwrestling.com
morethanwwe
legendarywrestling
backstagewrestling
behindthesceneswrestling
wrestlingisntdead
notdeadwrestling
wrestlingandbeer
wewantwrestling
hellyeahwrestling
wrestlingnetwork

Variations can replace wrestling with wwe if we want to aim for that nudge of extra traffic.

^Damn, backstagewrestling or wrestlingbackstage would have been PERFECT, but those are taken

Unless we want to use .net, that is. How important is .com vs. .net in terms of traffic?

It's not a big difference imo, the only issue you have with it is people tend to type .com when tying websites as its the more common.

BeyondTheMat?

internetWrestlingClub is a move in the right direction, but perhaps lose the internet aspect. Something like WrestlingClub if available?

Just did a quick search on google... why don't we just call the new forum WWE-Club?

by **VaderBomb** » Feb 06, '15, 10:37 am

Also, I like Beyond the Mat as a title. Seeing as it's a pretty popular documentary, I feel that it would work both as a solid name and one to bring in new users. Plus, it describes how our forum goes beyond just wrestling.

Bryan still owns the domain.

kayfabewrestling.com

I like "Beyond the Mat" as a slogan.

by **VaderBomb** » Feb 06, '15, 10:47 am

WrestlingDebate would be a neat title too.

Net and com are virtually the same, also try hyphens. Also wweclub no hyphens, not sure if Bryan has any rights to sue since no hyphen and he has no site

Why is Eggers still paying for a domain that he doesn't use? I figured that it'd be up for grabs by now.

Domains are pretty cheap. He probably figured anyone going to wwe-club.com out of habit could just be directed to Vegas News.

by **Locke** » Feb 06, '15, 3:04 pm

^That and he likely wants to sell it to someone who wants it for something stupid like 5 grand.

Are we going to do a poll or something at some point? What's the time line on this change?

by **Romo** » Feb 06, '15, 7:24 pm

squaredcircleforums, WrestlingClub or TheWrestlingClub?

by **Twister** » Feb 07, '15, 3:26 pm

I quite liked maineventforums, but after reading some of the points Messiah raised about generating traffic I'm not so sold on that one now.

wrestlingroundtable has a nice ring to it, sort of rolls off the tongue if you will.

whitemeatbabyface is simply brilliant. :clap

I have a couple of suggestions if they're available, they're probably not very good/not what you're looking for but I'll throw them out there anyway:
wrestlechat
discusswrestling
wrestlingsoapbox
wrestlereview

I guess all of those could work with 'club' tagged onto the end of them as well.

MenFuckingMen.com is much more gay.

Also WrestlingAlley.com ?
