KnowYourEnemy Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 <p><strong>Real World DOTM: </strong><a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=540439" rel="external nofollow">Hulk Knows WCW Best II - The Alliance to End Hulkamania [1995] by Asaemon</a></p><p> </p><p> What can you say about the diary that has everything? WCW Spring Stampede delivered a PPV for the ages, one of the best I can remember seeing. All the matches were great and had a solid backstory and storytelling. The two must-see matches, the Bunkhouse Battle Royal and the Best-of-Seven Series between Austin and Pillman, were incredible. It's probably my favorite PPV he's written so far. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Showcase of the Month:</strong> <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2308569&postcount=175" rel="external nofollow">Bunkhouse Buck and Konnan's violent feud in Hulk Knows WCW Best II - The Alliance to End Hulkamania [1995] by Asaemon</a></p><p> </p><p> The main event always delivers in Hulk Knows WCW Best. But what Asaemon is great at is building the undercard guys to the same level. Much has been said about The Gambler and the Hustler, about Diamond Dallas Page and Maxx Muscle, but Konnan and Bunkhouse Buck have stolen the spotlight with an intense, violent feud, starting with a great build and stealing the show at Spring Stampede. Pay attention Stamford: This is how to push a budding star into the spotlight. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Event of the Month:</strong> <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2308569&postcount=175" rel="external nofollow">WCW Spring Stampede 1995 in Hulk Knows WCW Best II - The Alliance to End Hulkamania [1995] by Asaemon</a></p><p> </p><p> This PPV was an absolute clinic in booking, storytelling and writing. Steve Austin was written perfectly, and feels like an absolute heat magnet in the IV Horsemen. The ending to and that entire Bunkhouse Stampede match? Brilliant. Love the interaction at the end between Macho and Warrior, great stuff -- builds on their time together in the 'fed without putting Vince over. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Match of the Month:</strong> <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2308569&postcount=175" rel="external nofollow">Bunkhouse Battle Royal at WCW Spring Stampede 1995 in Hulk Knows WCW Best II - The Alliance to End Hulkamania [1995] by Asaemon</a></p><p> </p><p> A great battle royal with an ingenious finish. All the competitors felt like they could win, and each had a chance to showcase themselves. Even those lower on the card left more over than they were before. Several long-term slow-build feuds and tenuous alliances built towards the finish. Lots of blood and chairs, but used well, serving a storyline purpose. Great storytelling throughout the match. Genuine character development. Great way to start the build towards Slamboree, which should be another great read. Looking forward to it. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rookie Dairy of the Month:</strong> <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=542036" rel="external nofollow">prowrestlingGUERRILA by Hollywood</a></p><p> </p><p> Really enjoying Hollywood's take on PWG. He's done a great job building the universe around the company. Love the format used and the booking. His match-write ups are really good too, providing a nice balance of detail and brevity. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>C-Verse Diary of the Month:</strong> <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541915" rel="external nofollow">The Wonderful Wizard of Ottawa - CVerse by Pteroid</a></p><p> </p><p> Really liked Pteroid's take here. Loved the simple but funny backstory, the campy characters and general carnie atmosphere, and the always interfering and ever so aloof owner. In particular, I love Ian? and his gimmick, and particularly how Pteroid books said gimmick. It's a great throwback indie fed gimmick and it works. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Legendary Diary of the Month:</strong> <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=541177" rel="external nofollow">NOTBPW - A Game of Stones (....and DeColts) by The Lloyd</a></p><p> </p><p> Really enjoying The Lloyd's presentation. Love the interview segments. He's done a really good job promoting young talents and fleshing out the game world. In particular, love how believable the villains are and the slow character development. Looking forward to the imminent Joey Poison return!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lloyd Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Thank you KYE, really appreciate the nomination for this. Been a long time since I was anywhere near winning one, because the quality of diaries around here has been, and continues to be, so so good! Thanks again.

Jaded Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Lots of stuff I was thinking of has already been nominated, but a few more. Showcase: ESE Zero To Hero - Queen vs Cobra feud - I really like simple things done well, and this is a fun feud done very well. The Wonderful Wizard of Ottawa - The Breaks/Martin/William stuff is completely intriguing me here. Match: The Gauntlet for the Gold - TNA 2001: Back to the Future by OGPistol Pete. Effectively written and a great way to crown a champion, playing off TNA's real life history but with better booking. Event: AAA: Not Just A Pretty Face in AAA: Hello World, I'm Your Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry Bomb by SoulKings. Excellent main event caps off an entertaining show. Rookie Diary: ESE Zero to Hero by Zergon. Fun start with some really interesting characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
