ANOUNCEMENT

Hall of Fame Nomination : Don't forget to vote by 8/31/2009 !!!

[mad5226]

Guess I'll kick things off here and nominate Phantom Stranger "TCW: A Quiet Retirement". The diary has been nothing short of amazing, and I find myself logging in daily to see what's new in it

[tizzyt]

For rookie, I've got to give a shout out to WCW 1996 from Angeldelayette (unless it's eligible for RW this month, in which case, I'll use my rookie pick for GCW : Georgia On My Mind)

 

and I'll second TCW : A Quite Retirement...

 

 

I'll check back in later to see if I have another pick yet

[angeldelayette]

My first nomination is a C-Verse Nom and it goes to

 

***DRUM ROLL PLEASE***

 

Marcel Fromage's XWA: American Wrestling Just Got Serious. Marcel continues to surprise and to show the story, action and anticipation that makes a diary really worthwhile.

 

More nominations to come.

[angeldelayette]

Thanks for the nomination. My WCW 1996 diary would slide into the Rookie Category since it was only started on 08/01/09. Though honestly I would accept it into either the rookie or real world category since I've been around for awhile.

[Phantom Stranger]

...Wow. That turnaround on nomination and second is humbling.

 

I'll second Marcel Fromage's XWA diary, and, mmm...

 

I think Zeel's TCW diary is still in the Rookie category, but I'm not sure.

 

If it's still Rookie-eligible, I use my Rookie vote on it. If not, I'll use my other main vote.

[mistaken]

bump

(not updated, will do that this evening)

[angeldelayette]

My second vote, a Real World vote goes to...

 

***DRUMROLL***

 

tristram's WCW 1998: A prequel to "Death of WCW"

 

tristram has been hitting on all cylinders this month, especially with the reveal of the two newest signings for WCW and the always entertaining Randy SavageElizabeth/Diamond Dallas PageKimberly feud. Not to mention the Thrillapalooza!

[Bigpapa42]

I'm going to second Tristam's WCW. He's done some great work of late.

 

The C-V vote was tough. So very very tough. I'm going to nominate James Casey's MAW - 10 Simple Rules. Feed bad about overlooking so many other quality works who also had good months - such as the ever-awesome TigerKinney and NoNeck - but I'm hopeful the will still get their deserved nominations.

[Dragonmack]

I'll nominate Tigerkinney's Puerto Rican Self Preservation Society: Version 2.0 (Cornellverse) for C-verse of the month, based on consistent quality and match description. Plus he has the Fooorrrcceeee!!

[totti]

Gotta be Nevermore's ECW Worldwide for an absolutely spectacular PPV. I'm really looking forward to what he has in store for us in the future.

[James Casey]

I'll nominate Tigerkinney's Puerto Rican Self Preservation Society: Version 2.0 (Cornellverse) for C-verse of the month, based on consistent quality and match description. Plus he has the Fooorrrcceeee!!

 

Second!

 

Also nominating Bigpapa42's SWF: Generation Supreme for continued excellence, originality and sheer cheek for some recent storyline developments (you all know which ones, right, mates?)

[Tweek It]

Also nominating Bigpapa42's SWF: Generation Supreme for continued excellence, originality and sheer cheek for some recent storyline developments (you all know which ones, right, mates?)

 

I'll second that.

[smurphy1014]

I'm going to nominate James Casey's MAW - 10 Simple Rules.

 

Seconded

[mad5226]

I'd like to second Angeldelayette's "WCW 1996: An Even Better Year " he does a great job at capturing the greatness of WCW. Plus the Sting Swurve was awesome

[tizzyt]

in that case, I'll second ECW Worldwide

[Hyde Hill]

PSW: The Evolution of Greed by Eisenverse continues to impress and goes from strength to strength for C-Verse nomination, holding of on my others for now.

 

PS for those waiting for Slammiversary I have been real busy as of late and as it is my first ppv I really want to be able to give it full attention, its in the works though so check this space. (Plug I know, but rather here then get peoples hopes up by bumping my diary.)

[crayon]

Nominating d_w_w's MDC2: The Battle Rages On

Less shows, but the quality was even better than the month before. Great prose and really imaginative storytelling

[BHK1978]

PSW: The Evolution of Greed by Eisenverse continues to impress and goes from strength to strength for C-Verse nomination, holding of on my others for now.

 

Not sure if I am doing this right but, Seconded.

 

Eisenverse does a great job with PSW and makes it feel like a real promotion.

[Tigerkinney]

I'll nominate No Necks Secret's of the Ring Volume II in the Cornellverse category (which looks to be winding down as he's already started on Volume III or do we count them as a whole ?) however the quality is still up to the highest standard as always.

 

I'll also second Zeel 1's TCW: Total Control in the Rookie Category

[tristram]

My second vote, a Real World vote goes to...

 

***DRUMROLL***

 

tristram's WCW 1998: A prequel to "Death of WCW"

Thanks a lot, lads. Appreciate the support, and appreciate it coming from two outstanding writers and contributors to this board.

 

I regress to abstain and ask for one more day to mull over my nominations, there's some excellent work going on currently and I'd like to be able to cast a couple of strong nominees accordingly. Congrats to all nominated,

[Nedew]

Nominating d_w_w's MDC2: The Battle Rages On

I'll second that. All fanfare aside, one of the greatest pieces of creative writing i've seen.

[mistaken]

I believe we are up to date, I will throw down my nominees this afternoon

 

VOTE for the HALL OF FAME, you know who you are

 

stares right at the British guy with the Raven vs Burchill t-shirt on.

[Eisen-verse]

PSW: The Evolution of Greed by Eisenverse continues to impress and goes from strength to strength for C-Verse nomination, holding of on my others for now.

 

Not sure if I am doing this right but, Seconded.

 

Eisenverse does a great job with PSW and makes it feel like a real promotion.

 

Thank you both for your nominations!
