The pimping thing don't really bother me I mean how do you think the Godfather came up with his gimmick lol...Honestly the blurred line between prostitution and porn is just whether a camera is turned on. I don't see the taboo behind that....but the other things is a bit more questionable. I've seen some shady practices by trainers but taking 25% of all your future bookings. That is a bit insane to me....Also getting them hooked on drugs to exploit them is a bit harsh. (Is it a bad thing I had to look up why people were outraged about this? I somehow missed all these things she had done lol)

Honestly at this time period The Rock and Sock was fire with the fans. The Rock and Mankind probably has insanely high psych and their pop probably starts through the roof. I'm also guessing that The outlaws have max experience and great chemistry that poored bonuses all over this match and that was enough to push the rating to a 100. I'm curious how much time did you give the match for that to be on RAW? If I were you I make them a tag team and name them Roundhouse Puppy Kickers to troll the fans lol.

Well I would have if I wasn't already in the PM phase booking on the other side of TFC for last year's Summerslam. For the record I tried to make the safest ladder match in existence and even at that the injury risk was too high for the network.....I had to book a scramble for the Light Heavy Weight Title instead of a ladder match. I was pretty annoyed by that. Also another thing to note I don't know if its been fixed yet but there is a major contradiction between what WWE's product calls for in match danger and risk and what the network they broadcast their PPVs on. Every match I booked had to suffer a penalty which is was a bit annoying as well.

One thing I think that is broken in this mod is when I was controlling WWE their PPV broadcaster would not even let me air a ladder match. Honestly Ladder matches are really tame compared to most other stipulations so that is something that definitely needs tweeked before starting a game.

Punk and Storm are just too good at what they do! Also I may PM you some ideas for Colt because he does has some useful range as a worker and the age you snagged him at he will probably be an elite worker for you in a few years. Actually I think I've got the exact way you bring him in that would probably be interesting.

I'm curious of where Colt Cabana is in your universe? He was always a favorite of mine that never made it.

Who agrees Liv Morgan in the Riott Squad is 10x more attractive than when she was a Carmella clone?

WWE always tries to sell having "4 Main Events". This was one of the things CM Punk ranted about in the podcast with Colt Cabana. There is always 2 world title matches the match with The Undertaker and the match with HHH. I don't agree with this logic because its....you know dumb.

You and Ship are in a league of your own!

World Heavyweight Championship: Eddie Guerrero vs. The Unnatural {©} The Unnatural has so many opponents to throw at him its almost a crime he has to go over Eddie in his first defense. I feel this is definitely not Eddie's last time in the big dance. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs. Goldberg Sting vs. Rob Van Dam "The Hellraiser" Steve Austin vs. Chuck Palumbo World Tag Team Championship: True Heroes vs. "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Brian Adams {©} I'm thinking a DQ loss for the champs to retain the gold United States Heavyweight Championship: Alexander vs. "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles {©} I'm thinking AJ is ready for the World title scene so maybe some Salvation shenanigans to divert his attention to The Unnatural instead World Television Championship: Mortis vs. Sean O'Haire {©} While I don't think Sean would actually beat the The Unnatural I feel Sean could be carried to a quality match with him. Cruiserweight Championship: Kaz Hayashi vs. "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson {©} I really wanted to give this one to Kaz in spite of Scott's protest but don't feel your face cruiserweight side would be strong enough to support him being champion. At least not yet. Paul London vs. Brian Kendrick Oh this is by no means going to be a clean victory but I feel he will be chasing Brian for while. Minoru Tanaka, Volador Jr. and Aguila vs. The Empire A way to keep the Empire strong What will be match of the night? Definitely The Unnatural vs. Eddie How many championships will change hands? 1 What will happen during the Hardys' announcement in Piper's Pit? They announce they will be going after singles titles (Not officially disbanding forever but not being active either) Who will be the next World Heavyweight Champion? (worth 3 points) AJ Styles I really feel he will be your guy that takes down The Unnatural General diary comments/questions/critiques: Scott's criticisms are cracking me up! I love how CM Punk seems to be his polar opposite every week talking up your undercard while Scott is there to cut them down.

<p>Block A Winner: (2 points) <strong>Meiko Satomura</strong></p><p> Block B Winner: (2 points) <strong>Etsuko Mita</strong></p><p> Grand Prix Winner: (3 points) <strong>Etsuko Mita</strong></p>

LMAO That almost got nickleback over that was so good!

People kept thinking Mita was going to get swerved as if Vince Russo was booking this thing. Bret seems a bit more meticulous in doing his booking and the story was not leading that direction. I'm glad she got a new puppy that she will raise into a killer guard dog!

Devil is probably your biggest Cinderella story on this brand so far. She seems to be one of the most reliable workers and I'm glad she had gotten the nod from Bret to be one of the first Tag Champs. It is really sad to see Aja in time decline (especially when we knew in RL she had at least 4 more years before that would set in).
