Episode 35: Commencing Countdown, Engines On

The focus this week will be on the upcoming title fight between Frogue Element and Will Beaumont. But there's plenty of other questions being asked... What exactly happened to Nicky Gilbert? What's the future for the broken belt? Are the Cluesome Twosome over? How will Swoop react to the brutal attack at the hands of Big Mac? All of this and more on this next episode of RAW.

Predictions

(Out of 4)

RAW's often eschews the more traditional wrestling tropes. But there's one staple of the wrestling show that seems inescapable; the title match contract signing! But when Will Beaumont and Frogue Element meet to discuss the terms of their fight which one will end the show standing tall in the ring?

Nicky Gilbert vs Luke Steele

Artemis E-Y vs Brodie Lachlan

Loxley Robbins vs Bret Heartbreak

Rules

1 point goes to the person with the most correct points each week.

These points can be saved up or cashed in. 1 Point is also given to anybody who has one of their questions answered in 2 different shows.

1 Point: A request for a certain worker to receive new merchandise

1 Point: A minor cosmetic change (small change of haircut.. change of clothes colour, small tattoo etc)

2 Point: A specific request for new merchandise (pick what is it/what it looks like)

2 Point: A medium cosmetic change (Major tattoo, New hairstyle, dye hair, attire change etc.)

4 Point: A major cosmetic overhaul (All of new hair style, new attire, etc)

You're also welcome to suggest something and I can let you know how many points that would cost. I would say though that unless perhaps you save up lots of points a change still has to be at least partly in fitting with the character, for example if you ask me to put Swoop McCarthy in a dog costume I'll probably just say no...

History

La Estrella used up 3 points for a full makeover of Alexander Banks

HiPlus used up 3 points for a full makeover of Loxley Robbins

The_Lloyd used up 2 points for a medium cosmetic change of...

I don't often get to pop on here to predict or comment, but I do read everything you're doing here and I just wanted to say keep up the good work. It's nice to see this diary keep pushing with RAW -- as I think RAW is a very interesting company. Plus you got Lloyd to change how he presents his workers so there's something there.

I appreciate you checking it out. I'd always be interested in hearing any opinions/critiques you got.

I can completely understand the way I, and Lloyd, present the workers might not be to everyone's liking. There's definitely something to be said for using the great renders people make and having that instant recognition. Someone coming onto this might find it tricky to link my pictures with the actual C-verse character. Personally I just like the flexibility it offers me with being able to change it, I don't have the graphical skills to make loads of alts for each character (or at least it would take me a long time). This last episode really is the perfect example.

Bro Captain Ned Wrestling might be the greatest moment in GDS Diary History!!!!

In my mind I couldn't have done it without a Simpsons character.

This episode was something special. Its up there with the Game of Thrones episode for me. So many little and fun things and such varied costume ideas

Thank you! In general I prefer writing a mixture of short segments, the ones where it's one long story (GoT, Swoop kidnapping, Paintball, Battle Royal) tend to take me longer to write so it's definitely great to hear when these are often the ones that go down best.

One small note, I must admit most the costumes I downloaded so I can't take full credit for that side of things. I had a list of like 30 I could/wanted to use and half the fun of it all was whittling that down to a group that might be fun to see interact. There's definitely lots that didn't make the cut that I'd like to use in the future though.

What a show. Every time you do something like this I have to take a step back and marvel at your creativity and wit. From top to bottom I enjoyed this. Particular highlights for me were the appearance of Gandalf with Blake Belushi's hair and the seismic toss from Pip Ketchum!

That's really nice of you to say, thanks man. It's tricky because someone like say Shrek. Even if you haven't seen Shrek it would be pretty instantly recognisable to 99% of people. Pip Ketchum I suppose if you didn't watch/play pokemon would just seem weird. So this gives me more faith that for future ones I can go more niche and if people don't get it they don't get it.

The predictions for next week will be posted real soon but I just wanted to go through the results of last show.

Willsky: 1/6

HiPlus: 0/6

The_Lloyd: 1/6

Doesn't surprise me the low scores, it would have been pretty miraculous for anyone to get many right. But I liked doing it this way as by picking who would miss it and who would replace them you were all essentially writing mini versions of how the whole show could go so it was interesting for me anyway! Lloyd was spot on that Swoop (and Maurice) couldn't be in the match in game. Swoop has creative control and would have blocked it, MJ would have at least gotten very angry. Luke Steele and Blake Belushi did actually get annoyed but Will has been able to slowly climb in pop. He's now a major star.

So a point to both Willsky and The_Lloyd

Luke Steele and Swoop will answer your questions from the other week in the next episode which I think will also give some people some points (you get a point whenever you have a question answered in two episodes).

P.S The survey at the bottom of the last show I'll keep open until I have to write the segment it links to.

February 10, 2021

Nice show, I like the feel that they are all scheming and vying for power behind the scenes. It's also going to be interesting when new people not part of this original group are added.

February 9, 2021

Well that was pretty huge, nicely written too! TCW were always my go to promotion in earlier TEWs so Tommy Cornell is obviously a favourite.

It's funny that I went onto your 21CW diary because I thought the Keith Twins might be Absolutlely Flawless (I think that's the name of the 21CW twins anyway) and all along Tommy Cornell render would have been right there!

Still my MVP though is Atom Smasher.

I've spied that the final match of the league is Perez vs Youngman, I can see that being a winner takes all match for the league.

February 3, 2021

What an opening! I really enjoyed that. I think I agree about the tone and you got it right in the show. I'd say the most important is you just write it however you enjoy doing so, I'm sure it's possible to write a serious mythological wrestling show but it would certainly be hard.

The back story is great though, I've often toyed around with the idea of like a British Lucha Libre style promotion, where there's strict kayfabe with supernatural style characters but it's more a mish mash of British lore than Mexican. So they'd be like witches/kings/knights/dragons/monsters. So instead of say Snake King in EMLL you'd have someone based off Loch Ness Monster or something like that. But one of the main barriers in my mind, was why/how are all these characters fighting in a wrestling ring. Your backstory really answered that question well so that I'm ready to believe (or at least suspend my disbelief) that Greek God's are opening a wrestling promotion in DC.

Introducing them all one by one as they arrived was great as introducing 12 new characters is quite an aim but they already each have their own feel. I think the formatting helps with that, each having their own background/font/colour does make it a lot easier to learn/recognize 12 tricky names. The smaller bordered pictured by the dialogue is good too I might end up stealing that if I'm honest whenever I get time to make them!

Looking forward to seeing who in the c-verse Zeus ends up being and also how an actual show looks and feels. I think Hades might be my favourite so far.

I guess you're lucky that whilst it's super hard to have two diaries running at the same time, the format of PWL means that if you take breaks in between seasons that seems natural.

Episode 34: A dog's not just for Christmas and a costume's not just for Halloween

It's the moment everyone has been waiting for, ever since it was announced last week! The Spooky September Battle Royal. 10 of RAW's finest and 1 winner who will go on to face Frogue Element for the TV Title.

Predictions

(Out of 6)

(2 points) Who will win the Battle Royal? Swoop McCarthy, Captain Wrestling II, Maurice Jackson, Luke Steele, Loxley Robbins, Blake Belushi, Nathan McKenzie, Kerry Wayne, Will Beaumont and Monty Croft

(1 point each) In RAW fashion, nothing is ever simple and 2 of the above won't end up competing in the match, which two will it be?

(1 point each) But a 10 man battle royal must have 10 men, who will the replacements be? Kal Wayne, Kian Wayne, Sky LiberTeen, JT Ace, JoJo Silver, Tombstone, Pip McCarthy or Rod Sullivan

Just a note that I'm taking a week off asking for questions, the battle royal will be quite long but I like keeping the shows fairly quick to read. I've written the segments for all your great Swoop and Steele questions but if the show gets too long they will be pushed to next week and I don't want a backlog of questions as I think part the appeal is asking the question and not waiting long for a response.
