He is not on roster in the mod I am using, so no.

yes?? (looks around, slowly backs into darkness and runs away) (good catch, thank you)

Thank you my friend. We'll see where this goes anyway. I have some sort of plan but not a full one. I just wanted to get back into the swing of things. Thank you for the kind words.

Haven't been on these boards since last winter. I come back to this? Beautifully done, great look, two of my favorite writers.. I'm happy and following a bit closer now. Great work guys.

My time has got to a point where I can read a few more journals now, and this is one I will be following. Haven't really followed a CVerse stuff outside of Eisenverse so it will take me a bit to predict or know who anyone is - but this is laid out beautifully and very well written. Good work.

No predictions for me right now as I am just getting into this, but happy to be. Strongly support you keep going, also strongly support you putting real life stuff first as I've had to do this recently as well. Happy to be here and following along.

* Correction: I realized after posting the date was inaccurate at the top left. Apologies. It is September Week 3, 1997. Enjoy.

Thank you, means a lot coming from you and congratulations on everything!!! HAHA thank you so much for your words man, super appreciate it. Yes, I think I am finding it to be more on pace with what I am trying to do here and how much time I'm looking to spend here as well. Thanks Dalton!!!

We're not done yet. Thank you all for the words of encouragement, advice, and tips on continuing. It humbles me beyond belief the amount of encouragement and support this community has. My story got a little out of wack to be honest, and I wasn't feeling it. This is (believe it or not) my first trip doing a journal this long. Usually, they get to two or three shows and I lose it, but this one has kept me entertained until the story started falling off. I do wish to continue this, and over the past few days, I have spent booking the next three PPV's and leaving the television to a week-by-week thing to give myself a little fun in-between. I'm fairly confident with the storylines moving forward and to be honest, that is a big perspective change. Please excuse this one hiccup in this story and know we're not fast-forwarding anywhere. We are kind of just resetting in current time if you will on SOME stories, but not all. If you ever wanted to get into this journal but felt the past history was too much to read up on – this may be a good time to start following along. Again, thank you so much to everyone. I am working on the next PPV which is where we will begin which is Born to Be Wired and should be out this week. Oh and also – I will be taking a slower approach to my journals now with my job picking up in the summer and my commitments being elsewhere – I will produce one show a week for a while. I am sorry if this isn't enough content or if this is too far in-between shows.. (I'm still learning the rules here), but I believe doing this will space out shows so I can think about what to do next, have time to produce quality (to me) content, and be proud of this while not rushing down the calendar so to speak. Either way, if you've been here from the beginning, getting in now, or will never read anything after this message – thanks for everything and I cannot wait to continue with this renewed energy I have after getting all these great tips and applying a lot of them., Now, let's continue..

I am not really sure how to make this announcement since I've never got to this point before. I will be either pausing ECW 97: Survival on Swanson and Ritner or completely stopping it. I have had a great time writing this journal and it's the second journal I've ever brought to more than a few shows and canceling it. ECW was an amazing promotion to write for and it always seemed there was a bit of pressure on me to deliver a company I (and so many others) loved. I feel like I jumped the shark in a few spots where I wish I could have had it back, but overall I think it was a great experience. It was a three-month real-life journal that lasted months in-game and picked up 3-DOTM awards in a row – my only three DOTM's ever. If this is the end, I want to thank everyone for the amazing words you've said that have picked me up a lot during this journal. I think it's time to move on to see if I can make another promotion or journal as good as this one was – my best one ever., I didn't feel inspired towards the end and I felt more like this being a job. I don't want to sacrifice quality for just “doing this to do it” so I felt it was good to either pause until I get the inspiration – or call it a day altogether. Again, sincerely.. thank you so much for the words and votes and everything that made this journal so special. I appreciate you all, and I will be back with another journal soon. Tobin834

Oh man every now and then something comes along like this that I cannot avoid for the sake of the locker room. Bubba being released doubled locker room morale, so we're on to a good start there but what a talent to lose. Frustrated there like I was when New Jack was gone.

First, congratulations to all the winners and nominees. I think putting out a few shows on this board is a lot of work, so thank you to everyone who has supplied content to read. I am very serious when I say I'd rather read here, then watch current product. That's me and that may be a minority opinion. Secondly thank everyone for the votes! I really appreciate all the love for ECW 97 and I am happy to keep doing it. My only goal with this journal is to see how long I could keep it around, the extra love and comments from you guys has always been amazing, thank you.

* Apologies on the date. The date currently is Week 3, August 1997
