  1. I use seventhsanctum for a lot of my writing stuff. https://www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=wrestlername
  2. I'd love to get some WWE 2013 rules. A bit of a what happened if Punk didn't leave, or Bryan didn't get hurt. I'll be forever in your debt! Also going to have some caws mingling around in the independents for a bit, so do with that what you will!
  3. Thinking I may try a new CVerse game, but wanting to make another promotion to match up to TCW/SWF/USPW without starting from scratch. What stars should I poach that wouldn't completely blow up the other three companies? (Thinking about it, maybe I should just play as CWA)
  4. What are Prime Time Jack Pryde and Zippy Deverell up to? Still chilling in the indies?
  5. Nearing Summerslam 05. The year of 2004 brought many changes to the world of World Wrestling Entertainment. Good ol' Vinny Mac sold off the company. Shane is currently running the new primary developmental company MLW, and Stephanie has a women's only promotion that is acting as a feeder system to try to put women's wrestling on the map in the US. Shawn Michaels won the World championship from HHH at Rumble 04, dropping it to Christian at Wrestlemania 20. Christian held it for almost all of 2004 before he dropped it to Booker T at Survivor Series. He's still champion almost a year later, currently feuding with Kane. HHH and The Rock feuded much throughout the Mania season, going into King of the Ring where after a brutal Last Man Standing match, they showed each other respect and were both assaulted by Evolution, effectively kicking HHH out of the group and handing the reigns over to Randy Orton as Mark Henry and Mark Jindrak joined the group. This culminated in a War Games match at Survivor Series 2004, though The Rock was filming a movie so he missed it. Rene Dupree is the prodigy of the red brand, looking at a 3rd IC championship run after a long feud with Mick Foley. Jindrak and Henry have been the chief operators of the Tag scene alongside the Dudleys on Raw as well. The Women's championship has had it's rounds. Since the save began, Trish Stratus has held it twice, Jazz twice, Molly Holly twice, Stacy Keibler 4 times (who I cheated and upped the stats of), and Lita 3 times. Over on the Blue brand, Chris Benoit held the WWE championship from the Royal Rumble 2004 to the Great American Bash 2005, where he dropped it to best friend Eddie Guerrero, the two have not stopped fighting since. Lance Storm is in his second US Championship run, currently running and hiding from The Undertaker with Dawn Marie at his side. The WWE Tag Team Championship has seen some jumping around. The Self Proclaimed World's Greatest Tag Team mainly feuding with AMW over the strap, with a surprise inclusion of a run from Rey Mysterio and Bryan Danielson. The Cruiserweight Championship has been held by seven different wrestlers since January 04, including 2 runs from Ultimo Dragon, and 3 from Tajiri.
  6. Currently, I believe that promises are only used for workers agreeing to put someone over. I would love to see an increase in use for these past just that by instituting booker promises. In my head the following promises would be available to help placate workers morale and even coerce them into agreeing to put someone over they usually wouldn't. 1) Give them a title run 2) Allow them to get their heat back after a loss or that they'll get their win back down the line. I'm certain there are other potential promises that a booker can make, but those are the only two things my brain allowed me to think up at the moment.
  7. No drugs allowed, three hour pre-show arrival time, and I provide catering. And as a 0 pop fed, they should be happy I'm doing that! Mills, Riley, and Oscar are all negative influences though which undoubtedly had a lot to do with it too.
  8. Sting pestered Bischoff relentlessly to hire Luger too.
  9. I don't know what I expected when I hit 'Advance One Day' but I assure you this was NOT on the bingo card.
  10. An excerpt from 'Lyons Den' the new autobiography from Scott Lyons

  12. Any chance of some 2004 WWE rules please? Going to completely redraft the rosters and have some original characters in development at the moment they can be included in rules or excluded.

  14. So I know that we can filter out based on skills and popularity, but I would love to have the option to sort based on these things as well. Sometimes I want to be able to see the entire roster (specifically when looking at developmental guys) and see their skills/popularity all at once. It'd be nice to be able to see everyone in a bigger picture fashion which would help decide who gets called up, etc.

I echo a lot of what arwink had to say. He really gave a break down that is excellent and really captures a lot of my own process [though my show breakdown is different from his -- and that's not a bad thing -- it's just different]. I want to reiterate having a plan and persistence/consistency. I've had a couple of fairly successful diaries from a readership and community awards standpoint and I attribute a lot of that success/being well-received to the fact that I tend to be consistent and persistent. I have a fairly quick turn around (or used to, my turn around isn't as quick as it used to be) and I think that has helped. I also have kept the stories moving even if there isn't a lot of feedback. The feedback comes (and it can go) because readers have lives and schedules and stuff as well and they might not always have a lot of time to pop on and comment, but they'll still read. So don't give up if it feels like you're not getting a lot of initial feedback. People will read it and they'll comment or give feedback or participate or whatever it is that you're looking for.<p> </p><p> The only other thing that I really think is important:</p><p> </p><p> Have your voice. It's a cliche writer kind of piece of advice, but even on shows or in a diary I say write what you enjoy. I enjoy narrative pieces, so I tend to write them. I don't enjoy writing matches move for move so I don't do that because it's not fun for me. Writing a diary should be fun. Writing the shows should be fun -- even if some of it can be a little tedious. It's a hobby after all, something you're doing for fun in down time. So if there is a style of wrestling you like, write it. If three other people are doing a diary based on the company you want to do -- still do yours. Have fun with it. Let your imagination run wild. Tell the wrestling stories you like or want to tell or would want to watch.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> As someone who has written diaries in the past (never on this site), and occasionally wants to try to get back into it, this and Arwink's write up up above are both 100% fantastic suggestions.</p><p> </p><p> I would also like to add, don't be afraid to try new things. If the way you've been writing doesn't resonate, or it loses it's luster, try something new, it won't hurt to try it, and worst that happens is that it doesn't fit for you either and you try something else, or even take a couple days off from writing in general.</p>
  16. <p>Alright, trying to decide what to do with my first diary. I know the rule of thumb is 'whatever you will be most interested in writing' but I'm an indecisive human being, and regularly need help with this stuff. Lord help me. Created wrestlers are something that's going to be apart of the game regardless, as well as maybe renaming the avatar's. So, help me make a decision? Please.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://strawpoll.com/a4cfcj6dq" rel="external nofollow">https://strawpoll.com/a4cfcj6dq</a></p>
  17. Would love to get things like development reports from my road agents and the like in developmental or the owner/booker. It'd be similar to opinions that get sent to the emails by other workers. "So and So works the crowd really well." Could even include chemistry changes "Such and Such really hit their stride in their match the other night."

  19. Booking in real life mods. I am not too sure what I'm doing wrong. But in real life mods I cannot seem to get shows rated more than mid/high 70s. Is it a balancing issue? Is it a me issue? (I'm kind of willing to bet on the latter), I'm not sure if it's because I'm not quite following through on storylines, or have any hot storylines right now, but even my main event stuff only gets near 80s where as I see people getting 90s fairly regularly.

  21. Alright, long story short; I am now the owner of a brand new CWA. And I have no idea what to do with half the roster that I have absolved. CWA players, who's worth keeping, who should be canned. I was mostly interested in the TV deal, women's division, and the Canadian popularity. Thought about just running with CWA as a side promotion with their own brand, but I'm open to suggestions.
  22. I will say that I feel like this doesn't make sense. I get it may be there to prevent people from climbing up the ranks 'too quickly' but, I don't think that Ted Turner was really gonna care if Vince bought him out or if Bischoff did. I find the block of being 'too small' to buy a company from someone is a bit inane? They're looking to sell, I'm looking to buy. There's editor work arounds, by messing with my popularity, but then I don't get the actual boosts of buying the company either.
