Summer Splash 2015!

Before we begin, this is not a match request thread yet. I know I like to start getting to things early, but SS isn't quite in my mind yet as far as putting a card together goes.

This thread is for.... figuring out where we should HAVE SS this year!

Since we've started doing the PPVss away from the AFWDome in Tokyo, we have gone to some fun and interesting places for Summer Splash and Avalanche. There's no real story reasons to pick any specific place this year so I'm giving you the choice! Or, at least to help make the decision!

So, go head and post on here any ideas you have for locations OR any suggestions you might have for determining a location through some ICly thing. We'll see how it goes and I'll either put up a poll or do some follow up questions or set something up!

Unless you all fail me. Then I will put it somewhere horrible >F

Swap the themes around. Let's do Summer Splash somewhere cold like Canada or Russia or something, and then do Avalanche somewhere bright and sunny!

Or we can just do Summer Splash in Mexico. That works too.

Hrmmm, what about Ibiza? Or Tahiti? Or the canary islands?

Miami!! how about it oh oh or somewhere in california

we did USA last year, so we're probably banned for a while. We could go for the crazy and go somewhere cold while Avalanche gets held in Australia or some place

I say we live it up in the lap of luxury in St.Barts~~~

...hey if Alex gets to vote for Mexico for his girl then ya know ahm jus sayin iz all...

North Korea.

As somebody with exactly 0 skin in the game (Summer Splash is Friction, right?), I think you guys should go to Cuba, now that government travel restrictions on the American roster members have relaxed some.

Just general whatevers.

The isles of Samoa?

some kind of public temple in China?

Rio? If their concerts and football games are anything to go by, Rio would have like, the absolute best damn crowd ever (for those of you that involve the crowd in your stuff anyway)

India?

While this probably isn't exactly what Alex meant, I actually love the thought of doing Summer Splash in a less...traditionally "summery" locale. Specifically, I think we should do it somewhere on the Alaskan coast. At the height of summer, temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-60s (if not higher, as 70s and 80s are perfectly possible), and the water would be cool but by no means frigid. I mean, just imagine AFW girls swarming the streets here:



And imagine a ring, right on the beach, with this as the backdrop:



Imagine a Kayak Match, or a Cabin Fever Match, or a Totem Pole Match, matches taking place in secluded fjords, or a fight taking place in the misty spray of a waterfall.

This is something that I really, really think should happen. It would be totally unique, and there are so many more opportunities for special matches than there would be on just another tropical island.
