Olympia's

Last Gasp of the AWA

 

http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509794

 

Zbyszko quits, he's forced to push Greg Gagne and Arnold Schatzenegger is on the scene... Not to mention a developing undercard featuring the future Great Muta/Jushin Liger, Vader, Mr. Pefect and Buck Zumhoffe (Yeah, I know finishing by mentioning Zumhoffe a little anticlimatic

 

 

Anyways its nice to morph yourself back into 1987

My Rookie nomination goes to 20LEgend for SWF vs TCW: The Battle's Over. The war ISN'T won!.

 

I like the concept, the layout is easy on the eye and the shows have been really enjoyable to read. My hope is the TCW inflict an NWO type curse on SWF and make the big fed wither and die until only Total reigns supreme. Not that I'm showing promotion bias or anything.......................:

 

I'll take a think before I post my other nominations

For real world, I nominate Thunderwill's Pacific Northwest diary.

 

He's been making things quite interesting and making great use of the curves the game throws his way...including the death of Superfly Jimmy Snuka!!

Most recently, former AWA kingpin Nick Bockwinkle has entered the scene to try and quiet Playboy Buddy Rose whose comments about Snuka's death have riled up the fans.

Is it possible to nominate two rookies? Id like to vote for 20LEgend's Civil War: Smackdown and Charismatic Enigma's Civil War: Raw. They both offer interesting takes on their chosen brands, giving each show a sense of identity that was lacking from the real life brand split. If I have to chose one It would have to be Raw at the moment (just)

My C'Verse nom goes to Codey's The Johnny Heizenger Story because he's been keeping his stories fresh and been gaining a lot of momentum as of late. He's also got a really nice looking layout that makes his shows easy to read at the latest of hours.

 

Mucho thank yous for the nomination!

 

For my C-Verse nomination, I'd like to put forth James Casey's SWF: Supreme. I'm posting from my phone, so it's difficult to link to it, but he's become a staple of these, so I hope it's not an issue :D

I believe we are up to date right now.

 

I forgot to do this last time: I nominate Yuu Onuki's 5SSW diary for C-Verse, and I nominate Comradebot's WASA diary for Rookie!

 

Unfortunately, Comradebot's WASA diary doesn't fit into the rookie category as those are the ones that have begun since July 1, 2011 and his diary began on June 15, 2011. And he doesn't have enough shows yet to fit into the Cornellverse category.

I can see it's not an option. No disrespect to the others, but WWF 1989-Kayfabe Returns by TheBlake is easily the best one I've seen on here

 

These are simply nominations, not the actual votes. Those will come after September 1st. But I am assuming you are nominating the WWF 1989 diary by TheBlake for real world?

I've been waiting a long time for an NOTBPW diary that would grab my attention and two come along at the same time....

 

Wallbanger's: Generations 2010

 

and

 

Blake Trask's: NOTBPW- The Prodigal Son.

 

Both are very different, Generations is almost novel-esque outside of the shows, whilst Prodigal Son brings somewhat suprisingly a comedic element to NOTBPW- the most important thing is that they bring life to what can be a rather dull promotion to document, if not handled right.

Thanks for the nom, TK -- very much appreciated.

 

Even though it will make the Rookie category an even tougher field, I'd be remiss not to offer up TLLK3's excellent CZCW: Some Things Never Change.

 

  • Deep, robust characterizations of Sammy Bach as protagonist, Eric Tyler and JK Stallings in supporting roles
  • A strong roster with a mix of underutilized talent (at least in diaries) along with the 'usual suspects'
  • A solid women's division (with some great theme music ;))
  • A detailed, yet not bloated, match writeup style
  • A frighteningly effective use of Travis Century as a heel stable leader
  • A great white-hot feud out of the gate (Bach-Reed)
  • Last but not least, a true sense of showmanship with a perfectly timed cliffhanger

 

Should also say that TLLK3 showed some real maturity as a writer in both listening to and incorporating listeners' feedback while he was setting up the backstory.

If there was forum poem of the month your SD! one was the best, closely followed by some of your others :D

 

Who's the boom king? He's the boom king! :o
