Skywalker1976 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 In regards to promos and angles I thought it would be interesting to trade ideas in regards to what formats you use in order to describe the content of the angle when booking the shows. I think the auto function is not enough, but I always struggle a bit in keeping them short but also make them meaningful. As this is tough to describe here are two formats I use: Shawn Michaels challenges Undertaker to a match at WM XV Shawn Michaels: Undertaker I challenge you to a match at WMXV How do you write those angles, do have a certain format?

Defmall Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 <p>I always write them as a one sentence summary.</p><p> "Austin cuts promo on Edge"</p><p> I usually call an angle like this 3 minutes</p><p> </p><p> If i do a longer angle, and have a LOT of folks involved in the angle (lets pretend Raw kicks off with 4 guys each interrupting each other in succession) then I might split the angle into 2 lines since there are character limits. </p><p> So it might look like:</p><p> </p><p> "JR warms up crowd, HHH interrupts and cuts promo on Hogan. Hogan comes out. THEN - " (5 minutes)</p><p> " ... Michaels arrives, cuts promo on Hogan. HHH attacks Hogan w/chair" (4 minutes)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody316 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 <p>I start them with 2/3 dashes so they stand out from matches and then brief description so would look like:</p><p> ---hbk challenge taker WM30</p><p> </p><p> This keeps angles and matches really clear from each other</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in and messed around a little and realized that it only does that for Freestyle angles, which I use exclusively, and not for the default angles which is apparently what you guys are using.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="wNbo3dS.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wNbo3dS.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickJonny Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I try and explain all the moving parts that feed into the next storyline step. If I have Sami Zayn cut a promo on Mr. McMahon and the main event for tonight is Zayn vs Reigns and Ambrose in a handicap match. I’d make the name “Zayn cute promo on McMahon, SHIELD interrupt and outnumber” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
