I too am guilty of overloading myself with ideas to the point where I can’t decide what to actually write. Past couple months I’ve been too busy socialising, it was my birthday and I just got back from Amsterdam yesterday but I got some spare time coming up next week so planning on doing some writing then. Completely understand this. I genuinely believe just writing down every idea helps you realize what's Actually Good vs. What Sounded Good in the moment - and it could help you flesh out the idea to make it even better. I strongly encourage everyone here to do this from time to time.

Warfare is half way done! Expect it Saturday or Sunday latest. Quite excited to bring you Fall of Man after as well, got some interesting stuff coming up for that pay per view.

I apologize for doing absolutely nothing for awhile. I wish work wasnt taking so much time. I am hoping to get back into a regular swing of things, hopefully the time off will add some surprise to my show and give you a feel that it wasn't giving off before.
I'm still not going to be afraid of doing "bad" matches, hoping for good spots in them though. I'll still be doing squash matches, but what I want out of those is a "this isn't the last time these guys will face off" feel, so maybe after the match will have more repercussions. I still want it to come across that my style is constantly developing and all feedback is incorporated somehow. This being text makes it difficult for me to have it be enjoyable for the reader but also distinct. The biggest thing is I want it to have a more community feel to it, so we're still working on getting more involvement. The more involvement the better the product, for me. I'm okay with my product being the lowest quality posted here, but I still want people to actually seem like they look forward to the posts.
As always I love what everyones doing and I've still been checking it out.

Have you thought of just putting some shows out from your mind, without the community aspect in terms of the voting? I think there’s other options and ways of being distinct and standing out that wouldn’t necessarily mean you relying on other’s votes so much. I’d like to see you back active again and I’d be interested to see what you can do.

I really want to do just the voting, but I guess I could put together a small something just for more content.

Just read this, I left a review, I thought it was pretty good! Pleased to say that Warfare is finally up, sorry for the delay, I’m hoping to get FIGHT up within the next week then it’ll be Fall of Man! Not entirely sure when the PPV will be up but I’m aiming for mid September.

Most of the things are still going to be the same, but I will probably be including more content for between write ups that will not include any voting. Maybe I’ll even take requests. That sounds fun.

I am back to work for WCW/nWo: Reimagined.
I'm anxious to get going because I'm inching closer to leaning into the fantasy aspect of this series. WWF will soon die and dream matches, feuds, rivalries, and alliances will be formed. It's going to be awesome.

“WWF will soon die”.
Oh my god, you’re really going to go through with it, aren’t you? You rascal

“WWF will soon die”. Oh my god, you’re really going to go through with it, aren’t you? You rascal One of my inspirations for doing this particular project comes from a late 90s-mid 00s fantasy fed called the CWF and booked by iconic Tenn (short for Tennesse). I consider him the greatest fantasy booker of all time. His fed imagined Mark Cuban purchasing the WWF/WCW/ECW and seeing this incredible roster of talent from that era competing in one fed. He once wrote a 15-match WrestleMania headlined by The Rock (c) vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Sabu for the CWF Heavyweight title. The first fall was inside a steel cage and the second was a last-man standing match. It was truly incredible. I'm inspired to do something similar.

Is this fed's stuff available anywhere? I tried looking it up through some of the key words that you used, but came up empty.

A good chunk of his stuff can be found here web.archive.org/web/20040518214648/http://book.otherarena.com/ (just select Booking Archive Directory). His WrestleMania is under October 2002.

Right. I should have checked there.
I do hope you check to see if reading his stuff has any influence on my writing moving forward. As well as your own of course, since it’s apparent you’ve taken some inspiration from him.
I also had an idea for a text based GM mode, since the three of us are the most active fantasy bookers I know, would you guys be interested?
