Unreal show and unreal rating! The obvious highlight for me is the new triple threat of Spade, Mainstream and Starr. Three of my favourites - can't wait to see what you do with them. Where does that leave "The Rat Pack"?!

 

I love (from a game and story perspective) what you're doing with Scythe - you're understanding his limitations, and really focusing on his strengths and not making him look weak by not placing him straight into a match with Rocky but involving him in angles, run ins etc. It's real smart booking when it comes to his starting stats.

 

Eric continues to be a fantastic character. I can't figure out what he is up to - and I love that! Possibly a leader of the three mentioned before?

 

Keep it up E-V!

In that vein, it's better to push him as an 'attraction' early on. Build his persona. Build the fact that he's truly unstoppable (as "The Man", Rocky Golden couldn't even keep him down). Eventually, when he's "ready" (or over enough to hide that he's not ready) then he can pull some good matches and move stories along inside the ropes, as well.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="IgnitedFlame" data-cite="IgnitedFlame" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="47607" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Eric continues to be a fantastic character.

That's why I love booking him as a monster (Athletic & Powerful Freak of Nature). If only he could really work as a babyface, he'd become even more valuable. Either way though, he's an amazing heel who can tell some great stories with his abilities. Plus, he pulled an 87 match with Valiant! That was awesome to see!</p>

Jefferson Stardust vs. ZWB

Gives Zimmy some momentum going into his seeming clash against Randy although I could see some shenanigans

 

Fame and Money vs. Hawaiian Crush

A Tag Title change on TV is not the end of the world and I don't know if you could run this match a third time at the PPV if it ends screwy again

 

Jungle Lord vs. Rogue

Sorry Jungle! Easy Rogue win to reestablish his credibility after he lost to Rocky

 

Des Davids vs. Steven Parker

NA Title isn't on the line but Davids makes sense winning here still

 

Gilmore and Lau vs. James and The Crippler

James and Crippler go over w/ shenanigans to further the two feuds

 

Joey Morgan vs. Remo

Remo wins to (probably?) become the #1 contender to Rocky

Jefferson Stardust vs. ZWB

ZWB pulls away with the win here but Randy will make his presence known somehow

 

Fame and Money vs. Hawaiian Crush

I'm not a huge fan of F&M. Was really hoping that they would drop the belts at WHFO

 

Jungle Lord vs. Rogue

Easy win here for Rogue following his WHFO loss

 

Des Davids vs. Steven Parker

Steven Parker was/is one of my Cverse favorites but Des is on a roll right now..

 

Gilmore and Lau vs. James and The Crippler

The heel team wins due to shenanigans to further the feud

 

Joey Morgan vs. Remo

I don't see Remo losing on TV

Jefferson Stardust vs ZWB

One of the best babyfaces towards the top of the card, in a heel heavy environment, sways my decision.

 

Fame and Money vs Hawaiian Crush

If the fued is to continue then Hawaiian Crush need to win or Fame and Money cheat. I will go a DQ or CO victory for Hawaiian Crush.

 

Jungle Lord vs Rogue

Rogue winning by distraction from Spencer Spade possibly

 

Des Davids vs Steven Parker

Des David's to win clean, I like Parker and he is doing well in my save but Des is so close to being a major star at the beginning of the game and has the story going with Brown. It could have Lenny getting involved to cause an upset but I will stick with the clean win.

 

Gilmore and Lau vs James and Crippler

James and Crippler to avenge their losses.

 

Joey Morgan vs Remo

Has to be Remo...

 

Triple threat for the title at the next PPV... Golden vs Remo vs Rogue, but where does that leave Valiant???

 

Scythe has to be involved, I use him as like a reverse Sting he hangs in the rafters, picking and choosing his moments, he swoops in being gloom and despair on happy moments.

Great Pay-Per-View, E-V. Looking forward to seeing how the Trio make their big statement on SWF Supreme TV.

 

Love your characteriations, specifically Remo and Rocky Golden. It's always the little things that make this diary amazing.

 

Jefferson Stardust vs. ZWB

ZWB continues his winning ways. When will he make that challenge? Perhaps sooner rather than later.

 

Fame and Money vs. Hawaiian Crush

A second title match makes me wonder if someone got hurt or got stolen this early. So, I'm giving the titles to the challengers.

 

Jungle Lord vs. Rogue

Rocky Golden might have beaten Rogue but Jungle Lord is not Rocky Golden.

 

Des Davids vs. Steven Parker

Though I love Des Davids, Steven Parker is on the road to a big storyline. He doesn't take the loss here.

 

Angry Gilmore and Mikey Lau vs. Brandon James and The Crippler

Mikey Lau looks like he might be getting a push.

 

Joey Morgan vs. Remo

Remo is a destructive force.

<p>Jefferson Stardust vs. <strong>ZWB</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>I'm gonna say it, you caught me completely off guard with this move, but that's not a bad thing, I like being surprised, it's no fun to always be able to predict stuff correctly, so kudos to you, I'm really curious about the pay off of the story, but that will come when it needs to come, for right now its a goodstory device to keep him in feuds, and it seems it's his brother and his cronies are getting the first swing, lets see if ZWB can become a real star and shed his tag team wrestler reputation.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Fame and Money</strong> vs. Hawaiian Crush</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Maybe this is a swerve, very probably it is a swerve, but I don't feel confident predicting the shift tonight, if you wanted to really transition the titles to Hawaiian Crush you would have done it at the PPV, maybe you understand something I don't, maybe you know a storytelling trope I don't know, but for me putting the titles on them after they lost their big match on PPV, just to have them win them in a smaller stage, is a swerve for the sake of a swerve.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Jungle Lord vs. <strong>Rogue</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Jungle Lord is a reliable hand and a good midcarder veteran, but Rogue is one of the real stars, I feel this is just a match for Rogue to get back on his winning ways after losing to Rocky Golden on PPV, and built up to his next feud, meanwhile Jungle Lord can eat another loss, it is what he is mostly doing anyways as he has transitioned to gatekeeper, for mostly for the stars or real good prospects, I dont see him jobbing to all people, just the really important ones. </em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Des Davids</strong> vs. Steven Parker</p><p> </p><p>

<em>Des Davids has been in a path of destruction for a while, and there's no indication that Steven Parker will stop him, given that not even a more likely challenger in Lenny Brown couldn't beat him, Steven Parker needs to prove himself first so I assume, Davids just squashes him.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Gilmore and Lau</strong> vs. James and The Crippler</p><p> </p><p>

<em>One team, won both their matches last night, the other two lost, one team are interner darlings, the other are old school veterans, for me there's no more reasoning needed, Gilmore and Lau continue their winning ways.</em></p><p> </p><p>

Joey Morgan vs. <strong>Remo</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>Oh, poor Joey Morgan, Remo is Pissed, after what transpired with Valiant, Remo can't be happy, and surely he will let Joey Morgan know that, I could see even Remo Going so hard he gets himself DQ'ed, but I feel Remo is still involved with the World title, so I think he controls himself enough to get the win and continue rising back to the top of the mountain.</em></p>

Reading in the dynasty forum without following EV's newest iteration of an SWF diary? Absolutely not possible.

 

This is as glorious and impressive as it's always been. Fully using images and linking shows to external PDF documents gives you even more creative freedom when it comes to styling the whole thing - and the "production quality" is really through the roof.

 

Some interesting storylines are already shaping up, and I can't wait to see how they'll unfold.

 

Just one little thing - there's something about the way you were presenting Emma Chase on the announcement desk for the first two episodes of Supreme TV that bugged me: Her blatant defending of illegal actions from heel teams/wrestlers while blaming the same (or less severe) actions when they were done by face teams/wrestlers. I get that she's the heel commentator and she's supposed to support heel wrestlers, but this specific manifestation of her character made her look really dumb more than anything else. I've enjoyed her way more during When Hell Freezes Over and the latest weekly.

I'm loving the diary, Undeniable is wrecking havoc so far they are slowing becoming a must see. Overall it's like watching a true wrestling show can't wait for the next show!!!

 

Thank you, Hitman!

 

When booking and writing the shows, I try to create the closest thing to a weekly episodic wrestling event. Whether it is the subtle descriptions or storylines themselves, I'm always looking to improve & bring the best product possible to you all.

Great to see you on here, Xen!

I really love the formatting that Google Docs/PDF allows me. There are some things I wish I could still do; however, ever platform has its limitations.

Thank you for your insight, Xen.
It's always a feeling out process in the first few shows (even for characters I've written countless times). Her disdain for some actions and support for the same actions depending on disposition is a 'quick and easy way' to get heel heat. They're a hypocrite and that's what I was going for, for the most part. That said, I'm having her walk a thin line lately; supporting Eric Eisen's facade of a persona but also being a hypocritical, intelligent heel. We'll see how it evolves with time. Either way, I really appreciate your thoughts on this.
