So I just came up with a pretty dumb idea that might work to some extend. I'm pretty bored at booking Superstars and Main Event every week and need something to keep it fresh. So I'm going to get rid of them and replace them with a new kind of a show. It's gonna be a (hopefully) Netflix show that's kind of a mix of a talk show and a wrestling show. There will be a host that will interview a couple of guys who will then wrestle a match. I'm thinking of even creating a venue for this so it'll always be held in the same "studio". Am I crazy or what?

He just got a spinal cord injury and since I usually want to find out more about the injuries that happen, I google them. Well turns out this particular injury causes paralysis from neck down. What I find incredible though is that he actually won the match where this injury took place. Mr. Anderson must have had a lot of work to do to make it believable.

I would say a disaster avoided.</p>

<p>I usually have the outcome in mind when booking the more important feuds but I like to keep things open between the beginning and the ending of the feud. So I book stuff as I see fit, I might write down some very important stuff but that's very rare because usually I remember the most important points. A couple of examples of how much I usually plan feuds:</p><p> </p><p> <strong>John Cena vs Chris Jericho</strong></p><p> </p><p> How the feud starts: Chris Jericho makes his comeback but is overshadowed by John Cena's comeback and gets annoyed that Cena gets a title match right away too.</p><p> </p><p> Important moments of the feud: </p><p> -Jericho pretends to be Cena's friend and finds a way to be the referee for his title match at Judgment Day, then betrays him</p><p> </p><p> The outcome: Chris Jericho beats John Cena at WrestleMania</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Sin Cara vs Sin Cara vs Sin Cara</strong> (yes, this is a feud I actually booked)</p><p> </p><p> How the feud starts: Sin Cara returns and claims to be the original Sin Cara that got released years ago.</p><p> </p><p> Important moments of the feud:</p><p> -The ACTUAL original Sin Cara returns and claims to be the original</p><p> -The two "original" Sin Caras are revealed to be working together</p><p> -A Ladder match for the right to use the Sin Cara gimmick</p><p> </p><p> The outcome: The current Sin Cara wins the right to use the gimmick, the two others are booked in a mask vs mask match, the loser is revealed to be TJ Perkins and the winner (the actual original Sin Cara) goes back to using the name Mistico</p><p> </p><p> This is basically all I need to get many months of story out of these feuds if needed and all of that is just in my head.</p>

I just finished Survivor Series and I am super excited for the upcoming WrestleMania season. There's gonna be so many twists and turn that I just can't wait to book all of it. A few examples of what's coming up: The Bullet Club will rule the WWE by having all the titles, Dolph Ziggler who left in 2016 due to a low morale is coming back in early 2018 with a big storyline with Triple H, The Rock will battle The Undertaker at WrestleMania, John Cena will drive Chris Jericho to near insanity by stealing his spotlight.... they were both gone for a while (Cena filming a movie, Jericho touring with his band) and they both came back during the same segment in Survivor Series which will kick off a big heel turn storyline for Jericho. So, good stuff.

http://imgur.com/1c3tVHC I find it funny that I was given a choice to fire him and all that. Talk about freedom of speech. I took no action as I feel it would be wrong to punish him for religion. Though if this happens again, I might give him a warning to let him know that maybe he shouldn't shove it down everyone's throats.

<p><a href="http://imgur.com/Q7GvEul" rel="external nofollow">http://imgur.com/Q7GvEul</a></p><p> </p><p> November 2017 and this happens. Honestly, with his wrestling style this shouldn't come as a surprise. But it makes me wonder though. When his latest injury happened, he was under a PPA contract with me (didn't happen in my show though) and I had the choice to give him a surgery. Instead I let him go because the only purpose for him at the time was being in Cruiserweight Classic. I just wonder if I could have prevented this.</p>

<p><strong>WWE, November 2017 (started in June 2016)</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>WWE Champion:</strong> Kevin Owens who won it in an Elimination Chamber for a vacated title.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Intercontinental Championship:</strong> Bray Wyatt who won it from Samoa Joe.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>United States Championship:</strong> Heath Slater who won a tournament for also a vacated title by defeating Alberto Del Rio in the finals.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Tag Team Championship:</strong> Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly who call themselves Double Dragon and won them from American Alpha.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Women's Championship:</strong> Summer Rae who won it from Asuka.</p><p> </p><p> My plan for WrestleMania is that Bullet Club will take ALL the titles and after that there will be a brand split in which AJ Styles as the WWE Champion gets drafted and then informs that the whole Bullet Club goes where he goes so Raw gets all the titles for a period of time. The only reason Summer Rae is the Women's champion is this exact storyline as she's my female member of Bullet Club as she's dating Finn Bálor in my game.</p>

I think we can all come to our own conclusions as to what this means. I'm not saying I suspect anything... I'm just saying it's kinda suspicious. http://imgur.com/a/Ad5z9

That moment when you're trying to hire someone and two other companies want him too and you end up giving them creative control and hiring veto on a 5 year contract just so you can have them for the one storyline you have planned for them. I hope Ziggler isn't a total douche when it comes to this. Lost him relatively early in my game pretty much out of nowhere and now I'm bringing him back.

There isn't really that much going on right now but I think the main story backstage for me is that due to a recent injury, Sami Zayn became addicted to pain killers. SummerSlam is just behind the corner and he's returning from rehab in there and I feel like I can't make any big plans for him because this was his second time failing the drug test and the last time I trusted him, he failed the test a few weeks after winning a title. So I'm a bit hesitant with him.
