[combatmedic]

While I like your booking decisions, you need to expand a little bit more. I wasnt to know more about your storylines, and what your wrestlers are thinking. If you added just a little more detail, in terms of storytelling, you'd have a good diary

[lazorbeak]

To add to the previous post, this diary needs more than just the notes that come with the game. You don't need to do tremendous write-ups, but you need something. Also, this match order is absolutely baffling. What should be the main event gets thrown in somewhere in the middle and you have some outright bizarre stuff getting thrown into the main event spot, which gets weighted very heavily (which is why your show ratings are so bad). Beyond that, you need to be a lot more creative in your booking. Somehow BG James and Sting have wrestled one on one four times already? Why does BG James keep getting title shots when all he does is job to Booker T (which has also been overdone, somehow) or Sting? As much as I ordinarily would strongly recommend against this, you should try to book more like TNA: they do a lot of things wrong, but they put their stars in a big match in the main event, and they don't give washed up former tag team stars multiple shots at the title.
