    Raf 32 :
    Great PPV. Your shows built it up superbly and really gave the characters a realistic portrayal coming in and you didn’t disappoint with the big show.


    Great womans bout, and was a little disappointed Nikki didn’t win, guess I just liked her character more, esp with Rude in the build up shows. Loved how she then linked into Rudes match, Henning was written well IMO, he has an endearing quality to him. Liked taht he won the titles at Halls misfortune in the end.

    Rudes match was great, one of my fav characters in the game this year and his match with morales was well written. Didnt see Rocky turning heel myself which is a good thing. Johnny winning is most likely the right choice going forward. Loved the Goldberg v Ryback feud and the match was the perfect way to go. The build up put Ryback over big time and he seemed on par with Goldberg in this feud which added to the match. I was happy Goldberg got the win and it wasn’t predictable which is a testament to your writing this year.

    Hogan was great in the main event and he was the perfect bad guy and delighted Savage got the win. Great main event. Overall really enjoyed your PPV and its the bench mark for this years PPVs to beat.
    Moneymaker :
    Bryan, your use of Pillman was great just as it was last year, love reading him. Was surprised you gave away big matches on the 1st show (guess you start with a bang) and wonder where things are going. Was sure Pillman v Cena was the main feud but I was wrong by the looks of the ending in their match. Great work reuniting the flock and Raven is over big time. Good to see The Ascension being put over big time, something the WWE should have done straight off the bat. Cruiserweight division looks good after an impressive segment. I wonder how the PPV will look as you have a few avenues open after this great show
    .



    MNG :
    Great final show and preview. Hadnt got time for a preview myself and hope it doesn’t cost me. Everytime I read Baywinkel I think of Rocky and Bullwinkel, maybe theres a stable in that (Rocky Johnson, Bull Dempsey and The Bock perhaps?). Ok ill stop.

    Baywinkel v Rikishi and Kim is great use of your celebrity pick as well as great use of your solid mid card feud. Your roster is strong and having Bockwinkel in the opener just shows how great your picks were this year. Rikishi works great as her bodyguard and the two ass team are a great fit. Really want to see Kim get her comeuppances. Great story with Davey Boy and JR, gives their match extra importance.

    Tyler Breeze was been used fantastically, probably the most under rated pick and hes been used quite well. Great use of his cell phone and Kerrys real life aliment. Great use of Konnan and great to see Mistico emerge from his Sin Cara character. Great work with this feud!

    Austin and Dynamite is a great bout and one which could be a match for the ages with no real work, but with your story telling skills, it can easily be match/feud of not only this draft, but all drafts before hand. Your still the man to beat!


    Bounty Hunter :
    Loving Ventura, one of my fav characters so far (think ive said that already) I just love him. Him and Rhonda will be money. The UFC stable is working out better than i thought and the end segment with Punk and co was epic. Joe looked strong, as he should and great use of Patterson and Gorgeous George, two guys not drafted in recent years. And the main event ending, I look forward to reading.

    MrKiscool :
    I really thought Bryan and Benoit was your main event after looking at your roster initially, very fresh main event and you’ve done a great job of pushing Harley Race. Hes written very well and you’ve done loads to get him over. EC3 was very handy last year but hes come on in leaps and bound sin real life, so hes a great asset to have. Candido worked well through out the show and in the Malenko / Carter match. Interesting to see Devitt on your show too, wasn’t expecting him at all and was puzzled as to how he was there til i read the post in the discussion thread. Great read.
    CMan : Bray Wyatt is being used perfectly so far as is his brother Bo. Im glad they aren’t really interacting yet as well. Pairing Rhyno with Bo makes sense and gives Bo more clout in being an over the top heel. Interesting piece with Shango/Godfather and the bogeyman. Matt Hardy is an odd character on your show, he has me very curious so far.
    TBC :
    AJs character is very easy to imagine and he works effortlessly with Lita. Seems to be a slow build which can only help things after 2 shows. Charlotte and Sara Del Ray appears to have more than meets the eye so far, i smell a turn here (maybe im wrong). The QotR tournie was presented well and Sasha and Sable again were MVPs in my eyes, they seem very natural together. Trishes promo on Sable was excellent as well and theres some truth to it too.

    Brad MaddoxGuy :
    Zack was a guy I really wanted and glad to see him do well so far (also jealous to see you use him well  ) I had to draft Thatcher to fill in for him. Ambrose was your MVP in my eyes, great promo and it really seemed realistic and better than anything the real WWE writers could come up with. The segment where Marufuji was attacked was great too and his interaction with Kenta was great ( a real ‘do it for me moment). Tyson is a close second to Ambrose and hes been used in a surprising yet fantastic way. Kudos.

    Think I may have missed a show or 2 but will review and post feedback

    Bounty Hunter -
    The card is very strong and maybe your strongest one ever. I liked Nakamura getting the advantage at the end heading into the PPV and the use of AJ was well done. Roussey vs Ventura continues to be one of the most intriguing bouts of the game and you've done a great job with it as building a male/female match can't be easy. The Patterson/George feud continues to impress me and I'm eager to see Pat get his revenge. Misawa/Lawler should prove a classic and I think your Vader/Inoki feud has also been impressive and it's nice to see Vader kept so strong. I'm excited for your PPV now; so get writing it!

    beakerjoe PPV -
    Epic intro to begin with; I liked that and the finish of Vince laughing. Really liked the direction you went with Shannon and great to see him get the win. As you say you could get plenty of great mileage out of this feud with the original Hurricane's return. I liked how you booked Thatcher's loss to McGuiness with the youngster losing but not tapping out. The cage match was well done also and I liked the tar-and-feathers idea which I can't recall seeing before. That would get great heat.

    Magnum/Owen match was again wisely handled and the manner of the ending doesn't hurt Owen one bit. Also loved the visual image of Owen using the bullrope in the sharpshooter. Loved the Vince/Jeff match and how you handled it; Vince having Abyss get disqualified so he could pick the bones was really clever. I had a feeling that Karen would turn on Jeff and it could have worked well but the swerve that she turns on Vince imo was better so I think you called this match perfectly. The main event felt like a proper PPV main event and I loved the touch of HBK wearing the snake skin jacket. I wasn't sure which way it would go but I was glad to see Jake pull off the big win.

    Overall you did a terrific job and it was a pleasure to read, as were your TV show episodes. All of the matches felt important and they built up to a hugely satisfying climax. You did a super show last year but you definitely raised the bar this year. Hell of a job!

    A small bit of feedback.
    Moneymaker:
    Pillman is gold and I'm a big fan of introducing Raven to the title scene. It'll be fun to see if John Cena can overcome the odds :P Your tag division is enviable, I was surprised we got that match straight off the bat but I expect them to get more out of hand each week which should be fun to read. I loved the Kenny Omega line and that should be a fun division. The only criticism I would have is that it was a bit difficult to see where one segment/match ended and another began but that's only a formatting issue and won't come into my voting at the end so it's not a big deal.


    Bostoncrab:
    I'll be honest and say that, while I was intrigued by the idea I thought it would be tough to implement it in the write-ups & that I wouldn't really enjoy it. I was wrong and you did a good job. The characters are well written and the feuds make sense. I can see your mentor feud with Charlotte going in 3 or 4 different directions so kudos there. The Sable & Sasha pairing make so much sense and I look forward to seeing a 'grotesque' Sasha :cool: And at this point either Lita or AJ could justifiably turn heel so yet more unpredictability.

    Sorry guys been a whirlwind of a couple of weeks almost have show 4 up now should have it up for tomorrow at the very latest :D

    and will try and read some shows too and give feedback

    BH :
    Great build up to your show and the 4th show was great in progressing and also in highlighting why these feuds are important, something WWE aren’t doing themselves with their big show. Your great roster is a plus and your ability to push your talent paints a pretty picture of what your PPV will become. Some great matches on paper have been promoted excellently and all are easy to imagine playing out.

    Your main event has been logically laid out slowly over the last 3 shows and the ending is the perfect preview to the PPV match. Nakamura really has been a great character this year and the ending with his opponents wives has perfectly promoted him as a lunatic madman hell bent on sending the ultimate message to his opponents. The visual at the end with Nakamura with the ladies would be a chilling image in reality and would be perfect fuel for this feud.

    Lawler and Misawa has been built well and would have done great business with these two in there prime. Samoa Joe/Kobashi has been built strong and this has a big fight feel for an undercard match. Both could easily main event. Tiger Mask has been a nice addition and without a doubt my fav feud has been Rhonda and Ventura. I hope that doesn’t take anything away from your other feuds, but ive just loved this and It be the perfect way to build an intergender match in modern day life. Ventura has been your MVP. Look forward to the PPV

    cheers Beakerman, trying my very best to get the PPV written up atm.

    Really hope a few more are able to complete theirs too as its been a week since the last submission to the evaluation thread now.

    Even just seing a PPV (or even a card) without TV build up for some promotions would be nice. Think last year Walt did something like that, just doing up a PPV post and he did fairly well vote wise although tbh votes aren't what id care too much about just selfishly want to get to read em (that is when I get mine done and finally have the time}


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    Is the deadline this weekend or Wrestlemania weekend?


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,552 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I believe Mania weekend is the deadline which I think is 10 days away?

    It's looking doubtful that everyone will have their stuff done by that date unless people plan on doing what BH suggested and just write the PPV.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional West Moderators Posts: 6,773 Mod ✭✭✭✭connemara man


    I got busy writing a script (hoping to get work writing)

    I will be writing 2 more shows and my PPV,

    just wondering I'm not allowed to just straight up use Brays Wyatts promos from Raw they are pretty good :P

    Grand, should get everything up by then so. Had planned on finishing and posting my 3rd show on Tuesday but the broadband was down til Wednesday evening. I have my feuds written out, it's just organising and fleshing out the shows that needs doing.

    I'm sorry for the delay in my write ups, having trouble with broadband connection, hope to have some up soon plus some feedback


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,478 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    Finally got Show 4 ! Now i'm going to do my best to get the Pay Per View done !Feedback would be great as 4 took me ages stopped so many times


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    Third show is up here.

    If you're a fan of long matches & clean finishes it might be best to stay away from this one :P I have another 2 episodes planned before the PPV but unless I can get one of them done in the next couple days I might have to summarise one/both of them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    BrianRegan :
    Great use of some under rated characters and very smart booking of Brock (having many conspire to take him down). James Mitchells dialogue was excellent and really made a big deal out of Sakuraba and did a great job of getting to Brock. Steve Blackman was made look strong and seemed like a legitimate tough guy he should be used as so good job. Jackman was used very well again and Shanes animosity towards him is very realistic. Ziggler and Hassan was an odd contract signing, mainly cause I expected Hassan to do something more heelish but a tense staredown like that could easily make me want to see the to go at it and not having them go at it now will make the PPV match more must see.

    BradMaddoxGuy :
    Sabre Jnr and Scurll again looked great and glad your using Sabre Jnr well. Hes a great talent in the ring and he will add to your ppv undercard. Shamrock booked very strong, reminiscent of his early WWF days. Great visual of him breaking the chair was a nice touch. Great segment with Foley and Ambrose, great use of Foleys personas too. These two in a match would be a fanboys wet dream so well done so far. Cole and Tazz continues to be booked well and great use of the Andersons, they looked strong and you couldn’t put them over more. Tyson again was great, his dialogue was perfect in getting his character across and hes been a great asset top your roster, especially used in such an unconventional way. Sid has been impressively booked strong and great use of Tyson in the main segment. Kenta got beat down but didn’t look weak. Hes looking like a perfect under dog in this feud. Great job. Dont be so hard on yourself, ive really enjoyed your writing so far and look forward to more. Hope you can get your PPV up.

    Spongey :
    Interesting booking of HHH and Styles. Where are you going with this vision of a broken HHH I wonder, Great use of his mentor and can he be the mick to Hunters Rocky and refind his former glory? ?! AJ was put over big style. This could easily be your main event and I fear this would overshadow Hardy and Sheamo considering the star power of AJ and Hunter, even though the main event is booked so well.. Poor EY and Daniels, they will never finish that match uninterrupted ha!. Nice pairing Yoko with the Uso’s. Youve a great strength and depth to your roster, with guys like HHH, Sytles, Yoko all capable of being main eventers. Bobby Roode is one of my fav characters, written very well and can be easy to visualise. Great job so far and hope you can get more write ups done.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    With it being the last week I really hope others can get there PPVs up before the finish. Only two up as I type :(



    Like BH said on the previous page even just seing a PPV (or even a card) without TV build up for some promotions would be nice. It be a shame to not have at least a card up as some have some fantastic rosters. I love reading these fantasy feuds and matches and the Ive really enjoyed reading whats been submitted so far. Some great characters (Rick Rude, Jesse Ventura, Tyler Breeze, Nakamura, Bobby Roode, Raven, Harley Race to name a few) and feuds
    (Dynamite King/Kid v Austin, Punk v Nakamura, Taker v Wyatt, Jackman v McMahon, Hart Foundation v The Freebirds, Cena v Raven, Warrior v Koloff, HHH V AJ, Lita and AJ. to name a few)
    this year.

    Though I know more than anyone that real life cant get in the way easily. ive been lucky I can do write ups in work as I have no spare time anymore with the new baby (ok shes not new now being 5 months old).

    Also any feedback to my own work is always welcome.

    2nd show is done. I'll edit this post once it's up, formatted etc etc.

    More feedback :

    JP LIZ :
    Great to see you got your first show up. Edge is easy to imagine in this disingenuous role and comes across well. Id love to see Heenan more on your show and like him alot as GM. Alicia and Edge is also easy to imagine. Some great potential matches here and look forward to where you go with this. The tension between Edge and Christian would suggest your having Christian v Edge down the road.

    Moneymaker :
    Great show and very pleased to see you get your second show out. Baron Corban and the flock would be a great fit and a nice tease to start the show. Either Ibushi or Omega would have a great match with Kidman (or even a triple threat match) as all 3 are excellent workers. Bruno v Pillman has great potential, esp considering Pillmans attitude. Do I smell an Arnold v Pillman match at the PPV ? That would be awesome. Amazing 2nd bout between your 3 throw back tag teams, and love how strong Conor and Viktor are represented. Great ending to the show, especially Pillman being the scavenger type bad guy. Loved how he kept talking trash to Cena too as hes carted off. Very enjoyable show and I look forward to more.

    Ok I'll ask any chance please of an extension for the ppv deadline to beyond WM weekend please


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    TBC :
    Sable and Sasha continue to be a perfect complimenting duo. Sable, someone who iirc you didn’t initially want, is one hell of a pick and you’ve used her perfectly. Emma looked strong returning and gaining revenge against big Aja. Lita and AJ continued the slow build of their story nicely and wonder how things will play out. Big triple threat made for the PPV, as all 3 have the “unstoppable force meets the unmoveable object” feel to them and it be an interesting match to see. Great build for Kim and Toyota, really has a big match feel to it and this match would deliver as a main event. Nice contract signing for the finale of the QofR tourney (we’ve had a few signings over the course of this years draft, having one myself) and the feud has a Bret v Shawn WM12 feel it, both being respectful yet confident in there abilities. . Looking forward to it TBC.

    It surprisingly doesnt hinder your work (something I assumed it might before I read your first show), is there any reason behind it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,804 ✭✭✭A Brad Maddox Guy


    My guess is that it's to convey that his promotion is about actual talent and not the "non in-ring talent". Either that or he has very little bandwidth :P

    I think images can help get my vision across more of which incarnation of a character I have. (For example I have pics of the outlaws from 97/98 so not to imagine them as the old farts they are now :)

    Feedback : Yes Ive done no work today :)

    BH PPV :
    Great build up to the PPV and I looked forward to it as you did a fantastic job of building the card up. Good match to open the PPV, logical finish and result and set the tone for the other UFC stable fights. Nice touch and pic with Severn and the USA tights. Tiger Mask and Mascaras would appeal to the home town crowd Id imagine and I was surprised that Tiger lost, as it was now 2 loses for the Japanese at this stage in the night. Both wrestlers look good here in what would be a good big PPV moment with Tiger losing his mask and both being respectful of each other in the end.


    Paterson/George was well written and had logical booking long term which made sense. Loved reading the tag match and it was cleverly laid out. The no dq stip im sure made it fun writing for sheiky and the butcher considering their styles and im sure the tough personas of the briscoes made it an easy transition. You really mad the most of the stip with a nice array of weapons and with the briscoes winning in such an environment really put them over. Was surprised at Lawler winning also, as this meant another hometown hero lost, in what was a great bout to read. Lawler look impressive and a true force, esp in the final moments of the bout.

    Great build up to Vader / Inoki and nicely tied into the previous bout. Vader and Inoki both came off strong here. Vader and Lawler are a booked well long term also and have really looked dominant. I was starting to wonder will any home town stars win at all?

    Jesse v Rousey has been one hell of a feud and Jesse being probably my fav character in the draft this year (though he has competition from others). Right finish too as Jesse had to get his dues. Great feud BH!. Joe wins and yet another hometown boy loses which I wasn’t expecting as at the beginning of this match I was sure Joe would lose to allow one Japanese star to win. So after reading this I was sure Punk was losing the next fight! Joe looked great BTW and build like a number 1 contender should be.

    The main event was one hell of a match, probably the best I’ve read so far. Really thought Nakamura was going to re appear at the end and steal a pin but I was wrong. Punk winning makes sense business wise and him and Joe is money seeing as Joe, who is hot in your company, takes on Punk who has never pinned Joe. Great match and great booking. Loved reading your work and its your best work in my opinion. You’ve used the talent you had greatly and you’ve defiantly thrown your hat into the winners ring with style. Bravo
