Thanks guys. I truly appreciate it! I know I do! PS. First week of TV for October 1991 should be up soon.

Just wanted to let everyone know that this is still coming as promised. I thought I could maybe have SNME: Backlash posted by today, but it just isn't going to work out. I'm well on my way to being finished with it though, so keep your eyes peeled. Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the kind words BC! Thanks Steamboat! Hopefully I can do it justice, since the women's talent pool is a bit shallow in the early 90s. Thanks Jaded! That really means a lot to me! Well, I know it's been radio silence from me for over a month, but as "promised", this diary will continue! And hopefully, someone will still be around to read it after such a long break! Now I know I said I wouldn't promise any dates going forward, but I'm going to make a one-time exception for this situation, and say that I plan on posting the next show either Monday or Tuesday of next week. From there I hope to be able to get a few shows posted per week and keep this going up through the release of TEW 2020. Of course only time will tell if it works out that way, but that's the plan.

After reading the responses and pondering this a bit more with a fresh mind, considering I posted this query at after 2 AM my time, here's what I've decided about my proposed changes: I've changed my mind completely on this one, and have decided that the worker photos and match grade graphics aren't really time consuming enough to need to drop. This will be implemented as stated. This is of course the toughest one, since it's the main thing that really ramps up the time needed to keep this dynasty going. But what I've decided on here, is a compromise for this compromise: If I have a specific idea for a more detailed or interesting match description, and have time to add it, I will. If I don't, I won't. It's that simple. The rest of 1991 could then look like this, for example: September SNME: All matches just have the in-game summary. October SNME: 4 matches have the in-game summary and 5 matches have my standard match write ups. Survivor Series: In-game summary for 1 match and full write ups for all the others. December SNME: All matches just have the in-game summary. Basically, everything will just be done on a case by case, as my free time permits basis. I've also changed my mind completely on this one, and have decided that it isn't really time consuming enough to need to drop. This will be implemented as stated. Finally, I've changed my mind completely on this one too and have decided it's worth keeping, since it doesn't really take that much time to add. Also, the example show I typed up under my proposed new formatting looked a little bare without it. So that's my plan for the time being, and like I said before, I hope to continue this dynasty until TEW 2020 is released. I probably still won't be posting at the speed I was previously, but I should still be able to get a couple weeks worth of TV up each week. I hope!

<p>Nothing's set in stone yet, but it's likely I'm gonna be starting a new job soon. A job that would absolutely murder my free time! So, to keep this dynasty going as promised, I would have to make some compromises. The purpose of this post then, is to determine if the folks reading this dynasty would still be interested in doing so if I were to implement said "compromises". Basically, I'm just looking for a yes or no answer from anyone who's been following along, although you could obviously elaborate if you want. If the yes vote wins, I'll continue the dynasty. If the "no" vote wins or no one votes at all, I'll just consider it a wrap. </p><p> </p><p> This is what would be changing:</p><p> </p><p> <strong>1.) Other than the rare championship match, there would be no worker photos or match grade graphics for weekly TV. These would be reserved for PPVs only. </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> 2.) I would no longer be including word for word interview segments for weekly TV, with very few exceptions. I've been trying to cut back on these lately anyway, so this may not actually end up being that noticeable. </strong><strong><em>**There would still be quotes from wrestlers in some interview segments, just the entire interview wouldn't be written out word for word.</em></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> 3.) Moving forward, I would only be using the in-game match summary, with maybe a sentence or two added where necessary, for all match descriptions. Even for PPVs. I would possibly make an occasional exception for one of the following: </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> - Long-built PPV main events.</strong></p><p><strong> - The Royal Rumble match, although it still probably wouldn't be as detailed as the first one I did.</strong></p><p><strong> - Worker debuts during PPV matches.</strong></p><p><strong> - Things like the Conquistadors/Texas Tornado spot from Summerslam, since they would be a little more tricky to properly sum up in just a few sentences.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> 4.) I would eliminate the "Backstage before the show", "Post-show Notes", "The Next Day" and "Top 5 In-Ring Performances" sections from weekly TV results, unless something very interesting happens. They would still be included for PPVs though.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> 5.) I would also be eliminating the "Other Wrestling News" section completely. Again, unless something very interesting happens.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> 6.) I would no longer include specific event arenas or cities, attendance numbers, or TV ratings in weekly TV results. They would still be included for PPVs though.</strong></p><p> </p><p> So what does everyone think? Would you still be interested in this dynasty if I implemented those changes? </p><p> </p><p> Yes?</p><p> No?</p>

Thanks Nobby! I truly appreciate your readership!! <hr> Welp, it looks like I really need to stop giving specific dates for when I plan on posting the next show, since something always seems to come up whenever I do. As I stated in my Summerslam post, I intended to have this dynasty back on the posting "schedule" I like by today, with week 1 of September posted. Something came up with work over the last couple days though and I basically didn't get a chance to work on this at all. So to be perfectly honest, I don't know when I'll have week 1 of September posted. It could be tomorrow, it could be the next day, it could be Friday, or it might even be Monday of next week. All I know, is it will be posted when it's ready. Basically, that's just going to be my plan for this dynasty moving forward too. No posting "schedules", no timeframes, just shows posted whenever they're ready. (The only possible exception to this would be PPV events, where I might give a heads up for predictions once I'm for sure finished.) Ideally, I'd still really like to get a show posted at least every other day, excluding weekends, but I'm not gonna make any promises. PS. Thanks for all the votes in the Diary of the Month poll so far and to Element and Levinux for nominating me!!

I'm not losing Heenan. His contract actually does end in a little over 4 months, but I plan on resigning him. Thanks Bigelow! And I don't know if you've seen it, but Savage and Hart had a great one on one match on a Saturday Night's Main Event in November 1987. I mean it was really good!

Thanks Levinux! I really appreciate that and she does too! Also, I hate to bump this over other diaries because I don't have anything to post yet, but I just wanted to give a little update on my Summerslam progress. It's looking like, unless something else comes up, that I should have the show posted by tomorrow, since I've only got a couple angles and one match left to write. Hopefully it will be posted by mid-day EST, but it may be the evening, since I've got to work in the morning when I usually work afternoons on Fridays. So, last call for predictions if anyone's interested and thanks to anyone and everyone following this dynasty. I truly appreciate it!

Yeah, Hart/Savage should be a good one. I've got pretty high hopes for my first 100 match grade of the save there.</p>

Oh, they are. Looking through their top 100 matches, it seems like any match involving one or more of Stan Hansen, Toshiaki Kawada, Mitsuharu Misawa or Jumbo Tsuruta is pretty much guaranteed a 91 or better. If at least two of those four are in a match, then it usually scores at least a 95. I'd say a human player could turn out show grades of 98 to 100 in their sleep running AJPW in this mod.
