  1. Would be interested in hearing the argument for allowing diaries from other sites to be included in DOTM here. I believe it got pretty comfortably voted against last month but I suppose it makes sense to keep it in the poll in case some people missed it then.

     

    My thinking is it's best all round to have 1 central hub for all TEW diaries, that way you get all the best content without having to check numerous sites. I have no doubt that there's plenty of great diaries that aren't posting on here, but realistically you're not going to get most people visiting numerous sites so the polls won't be representative of the voters.

     

    I'm also sure everyone has their reasons for posting elsewhere but if somebody was posting somewhere but wanted to be included in DOTM it wouldn't be hard at all for them to just cross post and have a thread with links up. Many writers at the moment (Eisen-verse, myself, 20LEgend) are posting shows in other formats (pdf/youtube etc) but still posting it here.

     

    Personally I just think these forums are strongest when you have a decent amount of good quality diaries posting here. That way you have people reading each others, commenting on each others diaries and just in general there's more of a community. So whilst including other sites diaries into DOTM doesn't do anything directly to harm that, ideally anything that encourages people to post on GDS is a good thing, and if people want to be a part of DOTM then that's a good draw for this forum that should be protected.

    This Tuesday on The POP! Network, Danger and Violence Extreme presents the most unmissable 90 minutes of action.

     

    Khoklov has certainly made a big impact since his arrival, but this week 'The Last True Cowboy' is back in town. Sparks are set to fly when these two legends meet face to face.

     

    Welcome to the Dangerzone!

    </div>

     

     

     

    Main Event

    Danny Fonzarelli vs BUFF

    Dr Love took last week off to heal after the Elimination Chamber match but is jumping straight back into action against the bulky behemoth BUFF. BUFF also took last week off after his loss to Titan, it's unsure what his next steps will be, one would assume he's after revenge but the restraining order imposed upon him by Floyd will surely prevent that.

     

     

    Ali vs Freddy Huggins

    First the first time, Ali makes his in ring debut. 'Guilty' Freddy Huggins hasn't been having the best time as of late despite winning a future DAVE Unified Title opportunity. Which man will pick up some momentum in this clash?

     

    Noughty Boy vs ???

    The man FKA Bart Biggins suffered a burst eardrum at the hands of Ricky Dale Johnson inside the Elimination Chamber but is supposedly already ready to compete. A mystery opponents awake the Millennium Man.

     

  4. Another good episode, really liked Eric as the mouthpiece of Marat and the explanation behind him bringing him in. Cool way to bring the fact Phil isn't completely in charge to the screen. Got a bit of "The Network" in ECW about it.

     

    Thought the restraining order on Buff was smart too, and Marc looks good in defeat, simply by being the one with the guts to be the first to step up to Khoklov. Interested in where Huggins goes, getting the treatment he deserves from his colleagues, and looking forward to RDJ and Marat's face off next week. Good stuff all round!

     

    A lot of that was exactly my thinking so that's great. The RDJ/Marat face off was one of the first things planned for this diary, more so even than any match between the two, so I'm glad there is some interest.

     

     

     

     

    February Recap

     

    This is a recap of February that also includes what's gone on in TCW and in other promotions.

    It's a cool roster, will be especially strange to see a single young buck alone in the world. </p><p> </p><p>

    I can't make my mind up on TYB, I sort of share BHK1978's opinion, at least I used to. But they have started to win me over. I'd say I like THEM but aren't really a fan of their style. I must admit I liked OC's spot on All Out but I can imagine him getting old fast.</p>

  8. <p>I love how you've made a poll to see which option is preferred and they are currently tied! I suppose it's still useful though to know that either way plenty of people will be happy. Of course I'd say go with what you'd like, although one thing I'd say is I got the impression you maybe wanted to change things up because you weren't sure if people were enjoying the WWE/WCW/ECW thing. Hopefully the poll shows this not to be the case. </p><p> </p><p>

    I agree with Kijar that 205 could be cool. But again I'd just be worried that 4 shows could be too much.</p>

    I appreciated the Room reference! Only just looked and saw this show. Looking forward to seeing Wolfsbaine on a full moon</p>

  10. <p>NOTBPW Television Title Match: </p><p>

    'The Amazing' Jacob Jett [vs] 'Notorious' Sayeed Ali © [vs] <strong>Seeker</strong></p><p>

    Comments: Hard to call as I can very much see the C2CC keeping the title on Ali. But I'd also imagine Jett & Seeker's feud got plenty of time to have propel at least one of them to something, so perhaps it's this.</p><p> </p><p>

    Grudge Match: </p><p>

    <strong>Dan DaLay, Robin DaLay & Sonny Wildside</strong> [vs] Logan DeColt & The CanAm Blondes</p><p>

    Comments: I've been enjoying the DaLay's recently, CamAm blondes must also be getting mighty old so losing on the biggest stages seem more likely for them.</p><p> </p><p>

    All Action Title Match: </p><p>

    'The Icon' Dan Stone Jr. [vs]<strong> 'The Ace' Aaron Andrews</strong></p><p>

    <strong>'Angry' Tom Gilmore</strong> [vs] 'Wild Man' Jack DeColt</p><p>

    Comments: Gilmore can get his head straight and be a possible next contender for the Canadian Title. </p><p> </p><p>

    'Magnificent' Gino Montero © [vs]<strong> 'Mainstream' James Hernandez</strong></p><p>

    Comments: Perhaps a surprise here, especially as I know you have enjoyed being able to rely on Gino for good grades. </p><p> </p><p>

    Bonus: </p><p>

    1). Which Match will be the Match of the Night?: Main event</p><p>

    2). What will the Overall Rating of the show be?: 94(within 5 is a point. Spot on is 2 points)</p><p>

    3). Who will interfere in the Gino Montero/James Hernandez Title Match?: Spencer Spade, thinking maybe it was Jimmy he was on the phone to.</p>

    Danny Doring vs.<strong> Kevin Fertig</strong></p><p> </p><p>

    Looking forward to seeing what kind of grade Punk can pull out of Siaki. Who knows perhaps this is all your fault for not switching his gimmick, maybe this is just his 'die Rocky die' phase and once you change his gimmick they'll be no limit to who the Siakolypse can destroy!</p>

  12. I realise it’s a big change from the original concept, but when there’s not much of a response, it’s difficult to gauge what people like and dislike about the product. Also, I always stand by the fact that I need to make any adjustments to my writing as necessary if it means I personally enjoy it more, which I feel I will, and hopefully in turn others will too.

     

    It’s a change, but in terms of production and future plans, one that will be for the better.

     

    I respect the decision, I definitely agree that you got to go with whatever would help you enjoy the writing process the most. I think you differentiated the products really well so I will be sad to see them go. That said I got faith that NXT/205 live will also feel like their own products.

     

    Not going to lie I'm surprised myself at the amount of response this is getting. I mean it is getting plenty but WWE diaries normally get the most and this is definitely one of the best in a long time any way you measure it. You might just have loads of lurkers but I understand without direct feedback it's hard to know what's going down well or not.

     

    I suppose my only feedback with your future plans is I'd make sure to keep NXT/205 and maybe even the main shows short. Just because 16 shows in between PPVs can feel like a lot to read and I'm sure feels like a lot to write!

    This Tuesday on The POP! Network, Danger and Violence Extreme presents the most unmissable 90 minutes of action.

     

    Just 48 hours removed from The Elimination Chamber, the fallout is here. After the punishment suffered at the PPV it's likely plenty of stars will be unable to compete, that said it is still shaping up to be an intriguing show. Will we hear why Floyd decided to screw BUFF? How will Freddy be without his long term friend and tag partner? There are plenty of other questions that we'll hopefully get answers too but none more important than those surrounding DAVE's newest acquisition, Marat Khoklov.

     

    Welcome to the Dangerzone!

    </div>

     

     

     

    Main Event

    Marat Khoklov vs ???

    Khoklov shocked the world with his debut, and wasted no time making an impact. With some brutal ground and pound he busted open the newly crowned champion and ended the show the sole man stood after the events of the chamber.

     

    Titan vs Bulldozer

    Fresh from a huge, career defining victory over BUFF, Titan has a big match against fellow heavyweight Bulldozer. The C.O.N.T.R.A man lost his debut match against The New Wave but the appearance of the mysterious masked woman hinted that there is more than meets the eye to this team.

     

    Freddy Huggins vs Elliot Thomas

    Freddy has earned a future Unified Title show but did so at the expense of his partners DAVE career. Will this hang heavy on his shoulders or will he use this as a stepping stone to launch the next step in his own career?

     

     

  14. I will answer today later, sorry for the delay I simply havent had internet connection this few days

     

    Don't worry take your time! I can be write up the next show before having to go forward and book ot in game.

     

    Predictions for that should be up soon.

     

    I also forgot to address Edd, I know he's a favourite of a lot of people (myself included) but I've got a story for Freddy I want to tell that needed that.

     

    In a perfect world Edd will go to TCW, work hard, finally rise up the card and return to DAVE in the future.

  15. <p>'Davis Ditterich "Diablo Deville is an ancient demon prince once summoned to destroy Jack DeColt. Jack managed to bind his spirit to the CGC World Title, but now that belt is in the hands of Blockbuster, who has no qualms about using the demon to destroy his enemies."'</p><p> </p><p>

    A main reason I love your diaries is the announcer can state that just as a matter of fact, almost throwaway line and yet it completely fits in! </p><p> </p><p>

    I agree than an episode mostly centered around Bobby Thomas sounds bland in theory but it honestly did sell me on him... not that I think he should ever get your world title, but enough that it made that episode interesting. I'm also enjoying Grease Hogg... which is weird to say. I'll still always pop for the BACKFIST ever since it was built up really early on in your last CGC.</p><p> </p><p>

    Promo time I'd vote for Sayed Ali. Or if you weren't planning on him having on the show yet, I'd go Skip before his title match.</p><p> </p><p>

    Texas Pete vs <strong>Jack DeColt</strong></p><p>

    <strong>Robin DaLay</strong> vs Torque</p><p>

I completely get the idea that the chamber was an opportunity for them to fight but neither pin the other but because that's already happened a few times now, I wanted to story to move on. So Bach gets the pin, although not exactly in a dominant fashion)</strong></span></em><em> which the top title never should, so I feel that for now Peak and Bach are doing better without it, so that leaves me with Ricky Dale Johnson and Danny Fonzarelli, and I was so close to picking Fonzarelli predicting a swerve, and I actually believe he will hold the title before the year is over, </em><em><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>(that's interesting, certainly possible it depends a lot on the grades he pulls in upcoming months)</strong></span></em><em> but for right now he falls under the same problem as Speed, a little bit easier than with speed but still the same problem, also he is still in some kind of feud with Huggins and Stone, first lets finish that feud and let him move to bigger and better thing, then we can speak about a title run, but for now he falls short, so I that leaves RDJ, who I think he is winning, because firstly out of character he is the most over member of your roster, second he isnt really inside a feud so once he wins you have a clean slate on choosing who he works with, now on character, third he is a veteran, who is in his last run, he deserves a last world title to his name, and this might be his last ever chance, also I can see Vibert giving it to him as a kind of thank you for voluntering to go to DAVE, and to show this new side of DAVE different to that of 2007 and that would be easier to convey if the champion isnt a DAVE alumni, or I can see Kyle Rhodes moving some strings and pressuring Vibert to put the title on RDJ. </em><em><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>(Pretty much all these reasons, it's like people are giving AEW flak for Jericho being first champion, and I get it completely, perhaps the new era of DAVE needs a young future star at the top, but I also like the idea of an established veteran being the only one who I can really trust at this early stage, especially grades wise, because I'm an A show and on a big tv deal now, my minumum requirements are so high that it limits who I can put in main event spots, at least for now. The main reason I went with RDJ though will become much more apparent over the next 2 or 3 weekly shows.)</strong></span></em></p><p> </p><p> DAVE Tag Team Titles</p><p> <strong>The New Wave</strong> vs C.O.N.T.R.A</p><p> </p><p> <em>Now in this match you put me in a very difficult situation, because there are cases to be made for both teams to win the tag titles, firstly The New Wave, it makes more sense for them to win, because they are the most popular team in this match and in your roster (not counting the L.A. Connection that are an inactive team), they just won the titles in the revival, and are the most iconic DAVE team, as much as I talk of this new side of DAVE, Phil still needs something for the classic DAVE fans who maybe arent trusting of this version of DAVE to hang on to, to show them the DAVE they loved is still part of it, and with the acheivement of this being their 10th tag title reign (fifth of DAVE) it would feel disrespectful to end this milestone title reign so soon, but theres also a case to be made for C.O.N.T.R.A. firstly they come with all this hype behind them, they are supposed to be long term threats for The New Wave, and winning the title on their first match would give them instant credibility and could get them over fast, and for a promotion like DAVE even if you have no actual divide, is more common to have the "heel" champions with the "face" challengers, as even with no divide, you know that the fans are all going to be behind the new wave, but here is the thing there are some downsides for both winning, first if C.O.N.T.R.A. wins, it makes the new wave seem weak and like some wimps that cant manage one title defense and maybe even as some has beens, and it would give them a hit to their popularity and their momentum gain from returning home, as the challengers arent that built up or known, but if they new wave wins it makes C.O.N.T.R.A. seem like they are all bark no bite, that they only can win with behind attacks but that in a fair match they are no rival for the champs, also it takes away from this mysterious aura of them, and takes away from their momentum for this kind of debut, also it might be hotshoting them because they dont have a good level of popularity, on the DAVE roster, they might be only be over Courtney and Thomas but I dont see them being more popular than anyone else, they need to be built up, before being actual threats also is a risk because they are untested in a week to week environment only working in the independents and in japan, they might not be as good as you expect or they could flounder in this new environment with all this expectation, but if I choose the New Wave is because I found a way around it, have The New Wave win by DQ, after C.O.N.T.R.A. purposely DQ themselves, it keeps the titles on the new wave, and doesnt make them take a popularity hit, but it also protects C.O.N.T.R.A., because they end the match with the upper hand, you show them as deciding not to take the titles but they could if they want, maybe with a promo after the match or on the next TV you can introduce them as not looking for the titles, but only looking to hurt people, maybe have them beat the new wave with weapons and take them off tv to prove their point, and makes them not have to be beat cleanly so their momentum stands, and the mysterious aura grows larger, this might be the way for everyone to come out of this unscathed. </em><em><span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong> (Yeah you're definitely right that my dilemma was how to keep C.O.N.T.R.A strong as they essentially couldn't win. I wouldn't want to make New Wave weak champs, and pop wise they would have kicked off in game. The introduction of the 3rd mask and the whole hand imprint thing I'd like to think is a creative way around it. Some might think it's a bit too supernatural/'out there' for DAVE but it was one of the first storylines I had planned and I'm hoping I can make it fit well.)</strong></span></em></p><p> </p><p> Street Fight</p><p> <strong>BUFF</strong> vs Titan</p><p> </p><p> <em>It hasnt been one month since their last match, I dont feel Titan has grown enough it that time to make him ready for a win, I feel this feud is mostly to continue builiding BUFF, as he is one of your top talents and maybe even have him be the first rival of the new champ, as he is going to be the only one on that rank to come out of the PPV with a win, while the rest lost, I see good things in the future of Titan with Goldworthy at his side, but tonight he does the honours for the more established BUFF, and Titan can return to the midcard while BUFF competes in the main event.</em> <span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>I knew this decision might be more divisive. But I've always known the plan is for BUFF/Floyd to part ways (there's the odd small hint early on I seem to remember).My thinking is BUFF winning essentially keeps everything the same. BUFF with Floyd in the upper midcard, Titan someone lower down. I wanted to progress things, so now BUFF is still in the upper midcard as he only lost through being screwed out, but now he's finally got some character development, whereas Titan has now been thrusted from low card rookie right up to Floyd's one and only client which in kayfabe is a pretty big spot. I'd still say I consider BUFF higher up the card, but now both have storylines going forward.</strong></span> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> Hope people enjoy the show, definitely the single post I've spent longest on ever. You don't know how frustrating it is to try and get 6 people in the Elimination Chamber to 'pose' in the right positions for photos! Just as an insight into the stuff I have to deal with... so you can only have an Elimination Chamber match in the Elimination Chamber arena on WWE2k19, so this meant two things first I had to create a new arena for the other matches so that it matched as close as possible the main event, and then in the main event I had to avoid the 10+ massive 'WWE' signs all over the place (in the rafters, on the titantron, on the turnbuckles, on the referee etc) as having the WWE logo in the background would annoy me. I THINK I managed to avoid it. Anyway although I'm venting it was actually fun. </p><p> </p><p> Should get back to posting shows quicker now. I imagine it will probably stay like this. Weekly shows posted fairly often and quick, but then a longer gap to give me chance to do the PPV slowly. </p><p> </p><p> One thing in game I really loved... I made the chamber have a high injury risk as I wanted it to be not just dangerous in kayfabe but to have a real aura around it that the wrestlers push themselves to their limits inside it. But this resulted in two injuries... one of which was Noughty Boy blowing an eardrum... I don't want to spoil anything but this fits so perfectly into where his story is going. Peak also broke his wrist so it's definitely going to be remembered as a dangerous event. </p><p> </p><p> Looking forward to the next few weeks as there is quite a few important moments both for storylines and character development. I feel like the first few weeks I was restricted to write most wrestlers as they would act in TCW, but now I'm giving myself more freedom and it will soon hopefully feel a lot more unique. </p><p> </p><p> So <strong>Neslo</strong> picked out the Spike Piledriver and Dominator as the finishers for C.O.N.T.R.A. Unfortunately I don't have the DLC (I'm a real idiot as when I bought WWE2k19 I could have gotten the season pass for like an extra pound as it was all massively discounted, but didn't notice until after the sale). So I've had to pick moves that were as close to Nelslo's choices as possible. Because that makes it a pretty crappy prize I'm also letting him choose Khoklov's finisher (I'm sure he has a cannon one, I've stuck to cannon finishers for most wrestlers, getting them from WreSpi, but I feel like if Neslo thinks it's appropriate it's realistic that Khoklov would debut a new move in a company he has never been before).</p><p> </p><p> Congrats to Multigames for winning both the PPV prediction and the full month one. <strong>For the PPV win you can name the 3rd mask </strong>(the lady who effectively controls C.O.N.T.R.A). In game this is actually Little Miss Sunshine... I basically just wanted anyone without a big name that has sex appeal. My thinking is the less popular they are the most willing they would be to dye their hair and wear a creepy mask. BTW I have gone with your suggestions for Bulldozer and Bruiser but for now I've left out the nationality bit.</p><p> </p><p> And for winning the monthly prediction contest you get to make a fairly big decision regarding the roster...</p><p> </p><p> So TCW alumni Rick Law's contract has run down at USPW. He has accepted my contract offer but I've not yet finalised the deal. So you get to decide whether to...</p><p> </p><p> A) Leave him to focus on new starts</p><p> B) Sign him but send him to TCW for now</p><p> C) Sign him and bring him to DAVE (if you do this it could mean a need to send someone back to TCW to balance the roster)</p><p> </p><p> You're also more than welcome to decide any gimmick changes for him, any motivation for him joining TCW/DAVE, starting storylines etc. </p><p> </p><p> To give you some background for the decision...</p><p> </p><p> Rick Law is a 33 year old USPW main eventer. At B- popularity he would come in straight into our main event although wouldn't be quite at the level of Golden/Hawkins/RDJ/Bach/Vessey. </p><p> </p><p> He works the style of an 'entertainer' which perhaps doesn't fit TCW or DAVE but he does have good entertainment and brawling skills. He's also 56 at hardcore which would put him in the top 7 or 8 on the roster. </p><p> </p><p> He's never won a world title but did win the hardcore, international and tag titles in his TCW run. Since joining USPW he has won their National title twice and had a run with their tag belts. </p><p> </p><p> A major downside to this though is that because he was wanted by SWF, USPW, NOTBPW and I think SOTBPW too to get him to accept our offer I've had to offer him 32,000 a month. This would actually make him my 2nd highest paid wrestler after Rocky Golden. Which to say he's only at a B- in US is probably over paying. I like to keep my finances in check, although with the new tv deals we are making good money. </p><p> </p><p> If you decide NOT to sign Law, I'll still give you the chance to decide how the next person debuts (unless I've already got major plans for them). </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong>SPOILERS FOR THE PPV ABOVE</strong></p>
  17. You're from Lancaster? I was born in Oldham so I knew I wanted him to be a Lancastrian and The Lancaster Bomber sounded like such a cool nickname.

     

    Thanks for reading. I've been playing this save for at least four years so I wanted to tell some of the stories I came up with. Hopefully Hawke Jr. can make some impact in the wrestling world before the new game comes out and I start again with Hawke Sr.

     

    Any predictions for the first Mighty Cup winner?

     

    That's right. There is also an ale called Lancaster Bomber but never tried it actually. It's a better name for a wrestler than an ale anyway!

     

    I'll go with Barenhaft as that's a badass render.

    Elimination Chamber Match</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>

    Sammy Bach vs Ricky Dale Johnson vs Marc Speed vs Noughty Boy vs Danny Fonzarelli vs Eddie Peak</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

    Ever since DAVE's revival, every man on every show has had one clear focus... winning a spot in this historic match that will crown the first DAVE Unified Champion of the new era. Essentially every fight and rivalry has been centered around this one single match. 6 men enter, but which one will leave the champion?</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

    The New Wave vs C.O.N.T.R.A</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>

    </strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;">The Masked Men effectively answered the champions challenge by attacking them both during the last DAVE main event. We now have a name for these intimidating men, but no words, no motives. They seem to hope their actions will do the talking but do they realise they are stepping into the ring with who many now believe to be the most dominant tag team on the globe?</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

    BUFF vs Titan</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

    Pure disaster for Floyd Goldworthy, his two clients are being pitted against one another and both will be more than happy with this development. The men fight for pride and surely the spot as the poster boy for Goldworthy Talent. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">

    We also expect to hear from the two men who attacked Dave Diamond plus Freddy Huggins has asked to address the crowd.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">
