For the Mod DOTM, i'll nominate TFC's WWF: The Golden Age...and Beyond? diary. TFC never disappoints and his last KOTR PPV was awesome and also on my nominations for this month.

 


For the Spotlight, i'll nominate the King of the Ring PPV on the same diary above. If i have to post the link again...http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1936936&postcount=857

<p>Nominating The Doctor's <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=525821" rel="external nofollow">United States Pro Wrestling - The Future of Tradition</a> for C-Verse DOTM.</p><p> </p><p>

Everything about the presentation is awesome. And The Doctor backs up the presentation with good shows and interesting news articles complete with the occasional witty dummy link to another article.</p><p> </p><p>

As for Monthly Spotlight, I'm going with heel Lobster Warrior's debut on Jingo's <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1938277&postcount=322" rel="external nofollow">21CW: The Hottest (and only) Ticket in Town</a>. I'll admit I haven't been checking out his diary much as I'm not so much into the British promotions, but the surprise reveal of a familiar character in an unfamiliar guise (Lobby being a kid-friendly babyface on most diaries) drew me in. Rest assured I'll be keeping tabs on this diary in the weeks to come.</p>

<p>I nominate Ritchardo's <a href="<a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=525541" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=525541"</a> target="_blank">JCP 1988 - The Alliance Fights Back (a TGA... and Beyond Diary)</a> for Mod DOTM.</p><p> </p><p>

Got turned onto this thread via The Lloyd's WWE thread and it's a fun collaboration with the two threads together. It's going to be interesting to see how Ritchardo competes with the WWE by The Lloyd</p><p> </p><p>

I also nominate Phantom Stranger's <a href=http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524659 target="_blank">[C-Verse 97] [HGC/DaVE] Everybody Knows </a> for Cornell DOTM.</p><p> </p><p>

I usually don't read C-Verse (not because they're bad or anything, just generally not my cup of tea) but I just loved the start of it and I found myself just following along</p>

My only nomination so far is for Monthly Spotlight... and it goes to Nobby_McDonald! I'm nominating his (very) recently posted card for his next event, The War To End it All 2004:

 

Found Here

 

His whole diary:

 

is Found Here

 

and has been running since February 2013. He's around 3 years into his awesome game, and it deserves a look :) His prediction prizes are always good fun too :) top, top work!!

<p>For Cornellverse, I have to nominate: <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522476" rel="external nofollow">SWF: Where Men Become LEGENDS</a> by Eisen-verse</p><p> </p><p>

Reasoning: Does there even need to be a reason? This is the best SWF diary since Bigpapa42 and James Casey. Eisen-verse can make you care as much about the Underground B-Show as you do about the SWF Supreme TV. Lobster Warrior lost his 'career' this month and makes me wonder where he is going to be going with that. The first promo for the Trinity looks amazing. Is there anything else needed?</p>

<p><strong>DOTM: James Casey's -- SWF: Generation Supreme</strong></p><p> <em>Casey continues to create a gripping portrayal of the SWF with this project.

One of my favorite writers here.</em></p><p> <a href="http://greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=515858" rel="external nofollow">Link</a></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Monthly Spotlight: "Christmas Clash" PPV -- SWF: Sunday Nights Counting Lights - The Continuing Saga of KP Avatar</strong></p><p> <em>Big PPV with a whole lot of meat on the bone. Nicky Champion wins the belt only to lose it moments later (He even kicked out of a sidewalk slam before falling victim finally), Bobby (Bob-AYE!) helps his father beat Angry Gilmore in which to retain the title & Richard Eisen announces the brand split. I'd say it's a pretty BIG way to end 2013 in PG's portrayal of the SWF.

Okay, I'm finally going to get around to this. My first diary nom will go to WWE 2004: The Hangover by RKOwnage, now that he's posting consistently again his shows have done quite well, with a No Way Out card which gives a great build toward Wrestlemania.

 

For my second, I know it probably won't get many votes but I'm going to try and raise awareness for LordJaguar's World Wrestling Association - National or Bust! I haven't even left him much love in the thread yet, but reading it the other day, I thought it was a pretty good show. Refreshing to see a different style, while still being one that fits well, as well as seeing something RW that isn't one of the big feds.

 

For monthly spotlight, I'm going to go with the aforementioned No Way Out from WWE 2004: The Hangover. For reasons already stated, though I'll add that the World title match was really written well.

I guess it helps that I used to run an e-fed that had a Royal Rumble style match each year that I wrote, though it was more in depth and had commentary written into it. Again, thank you! ^_^</p>
