Keep the write-ups coming. The deadline has been extended by 24 hours so hopefully we will have most if not all submissions in.
I had a look at 2 PPVs just now. Here's my thoughts:
Volt: New World Wrestling Crush Hour - I really enjoyed this. Very solid match-quality wise and that main event would be tough to beat for most rosters. Perfect and Rock with Ali involved looked awesome as a concept and sure enough the main event was my favourite part. Great stuff. I could see it playing out in my mind so well done on the detail. The finish surprised me but I liked your explanation later and the comparison with how things went in 2000 which I thought was clever. The overall storyline with Perfection Inc. has been one of the more entertaining factions imo. The Daniels/Nakamura bout was also presented in a compelling way on the show and I liked that also. Impressive show indeed and one I can see appealing to many others.
campo: CWA Revolution - First of all, why didn't I use that song for my show's theme? Would have suited it nicely.
On to business and again I thought this was a very enjoyable read. The undercard came together well and I enjoyed the fact that there was a nice mixture - extreme action with the Lynn/Gage match, tag team action with the titles tournament, and mat wrestling action with Swagger and Inoki. The Nash/Barrett match had a very stand-out stipulation in the Draft and I thought you booked it perfectly. The main event was also entertaining with an ending that gave the fans their money's worth. I think this was another very strong show and I reckon writing for the BWE has helped you. I think you said you wanted to do better than last year and I would be very surprised if you don't.
I look forward to reading the other shows in the next few days and I think narrowing it down to 7 is going to be very tricky. Well done to everyone on the effort put in.0 -

Just reading some of the PPVs now
MNG - What can I say Christan as world champion - Winner for me!
his feud with HHH was really built well and I'm delighted he got the win. The others matches also were also well built and written.
Voltwad - Great build and excellent matches for the PPV and having Perfect retain the world title against Rock with a little help from Ali was a nice surprise.
Diabhal Beag - From the PPV name to the images, matches and titles - all epically funny. You are in a league of your own

Hey guys. Major apologies for my absence. Had a serious death in the family and haven't had a minute to even get to think about anything, regretfully, this included.
I've just gotten home so I completely understand if I have missed the deadline for the end of the game.0 -

Very sorry to hear that, man. I had asked the mods to close the evaluations thread before I saw your post but if you still want to put up your PPV card then go ahead, and you can still participate in the last phase. I don't know if you feel like participating any more but if you do then we can work something out for you.
If the mods end up locking the evaluations thread like I asked earlier then you can put the card in this thread instead. It's up to you as to what you want to do and I'll understand either way.0 -

i wonder would yours suffer from being almost too long to grab the attension as you intend.
Yeah, I actually think the Punk/Flair match was nearly as long as the rest of the show put together :S My problem lies with the fact that since I've been writing for efeds for years, I tend to write longer matches which include a lot of detail.
I'm planning on sitting down and reading through all the shows over tonight and tomorrow morning so I'll give feedback then 0 -

yeah but if the people actually read it all they will most likely enjoy it more and appreciate yours more. For example Ger commented on one line of mine about his Parish, now i know that this was directly referencing him but it was in a bit that wasnt part of a match and was bang in the middle of my mammoth write up so Im fairly sure he read the whole thing and yet it was this lil detail he picked out a detail I would not have added in if I did a shorter write up as it wasnt all that important really.0 -

Diabhal Beag - From the PPV name to the images, matches and titles - all epically funny. You are in a league of your own
tbc ......................
Campo - Russo kissing Vince's ass one of the best moments of this year's draft the tag tournament was done really well and I liked Anderson getting the win and keeping the title over the chosen one Drew thanks to Vince's botch interference.
Spongey1975 - One of most jam packed talented rosters of the drafts and your PPV echoed this with all the great matches and I especially liked the main event title match between Edge and Sting.
Waltersobchak - The war between Heyman and Bischoff was always going to an epic battle and you didnt disappoint and I enjoyed Heyman winning the war and exiling Eric thanks to Angle making Andre tap.
Teamshadowclan - Another where the tag tournament was done really well. From the very start with your write ups, Punk V Flair's feud was superbly well done, it was one feud I couldnt wait to read and their ppv match really was epic.

I read 3 more PPVs just now. I will look to give feedback on the rest tomorrow but of the ones I did read here's my thoughts:
DQ - DQWF: Appetite for Destruction - Great card. I remember enjoying the weekly show you had done and felt you wrote for it well, particularly the main event match where you played up Cactus's hardcore background with Brock's amateur and UFC background, plus Storm and Credible referencing their history and being on opposite sides. The card is very solid and you have utilised your picks well.
Teamshadowclan: Wrestling With Flair: 'To Be The Man' - I enjoyed Flair at the Press Conference beforehand. On to the show - I really liked the interaction with Flair and Shatner early on. You wrote that very well and nice Chuck Norris line. Nice booking for the Cade/Murdoch finish too. Again great writing for Punk's promo. Could picture him saying every word there. I always felt the Flair/Punk feud made for a great contrast. The tag title tournament impressed as did the writing for the cage match. Very impressed with your writing for the tag tournament especially. You made the division feel very important and I liked
Beer Moneyemerging victorious. I thought it was very clever too what you did with the angle involving Shatner because I was wondering to myselfwhy would the Usos and Steel just do what Shatner saysand sure enough you had that angle well covered. What can I say about the main event? Loved every second of it and how you presented it to the readers with the near-falls. You had me gripped and not knowing which way it would go. The ending was so believable and smart too and it came across very dramatic. Fantastic job on that without a doubt. I think this was a terrific PPV with a lot of thought and consideration put in. Big thumbs up!
flahavaj: NWA Int. - Firstly that's some theme for Finlay. :pac: I had a grand time readingHatton get his comeuppancewhich was one of the more creative feuds in the Draft. I liked the way you booked the Bundy/Graham contest too and the feelgood moment. The Santos bout was again well booked. I could see that being perhaps your match of the night. The tag title match looked awesome on paper and delivered as expected. The main event I considered one of the best built feuds in the game with how you had played on the history of Dibiase and Sherri and throwing Jannetty in there too. The match delivered and I must say the finish did surprise me, but like Volt's main event finish it worked for me. Another big thumbs up and another great job.
Really genuinely impressed at the standard this year. I seem to say it every year but there are some smart, creative people around this place and you're giving me major food for thought for my votes. I've still one more page to review in the evaluations thread and I'll look to do that for Wednesday.0 -

Flahavaj - Excellent all round ppv with some nice funny elements especially adding Ger Ted Snr V HBK was very well done and nice to see a heel get the win. I for one expected HBK to win.
Bounty Hunter - One of the best written ppvs and nice surprise twist with Leno as Chairman, overall very well done.
Gerard.C - The first thing I read was Hell in da Mel and at the end I was like omg :eek::p. Great PPV Ger.
TheBostonCrab - Samoa Joe and Chris Benoit's feud has been one of my favourites from the start and their ppv match didnt disappoint also the rest of the ppv was very enjoyable.
Furious-Red - The one PPV where I knew all the roster short and sweet but detailed enough, well planned and executed and good to see Morrison becoming world champion
Dare2Defy - Another PPV where I knew all the roster very well done and nice to see Ryder get a decent push and a title win
SlickRic - Great ppv especially the epic main event match between Austin and Roberts
