Hey guys, WCW '93 is still going. Right now, I've been focused on launching a new podcast, doing a lot of social media for it and watching a ton of 1991 WCW (that's the hook of the show. We're going to be watching all WCW programming on a week to week basis). Once we get the first episode recorded (tomorrow!) and edited and what not, then I'll definitely focus on getting SuperBrawl weekend done. If anyone is interested in the podcast, you can follow us on twitter at @podcastlewcw. But that's the only time I plan on plugging it here. Looks good man will certainly check it out.

Had an idea to create a "what if" sim for WWE 2020 if COVID-19 never happened. Wrestlemania went on as planned, fans still in the arenas, the whole roster there and everything. Like a "what could have happened if the world had not gone down the tubes" sorta thing. "What-If? WWE 2020"

If you think I'm just gonna sit back and let Red Dragon win the comeback of the year, you've got another thing coming.

If you think I'm just gonna sit back and let Red Dragon or Mike Bockwinkel win the comeback of the year, you’re exactly right.

I've ben looking at what other diary's I've got written up to post. Most are just ideas or rosters. But I do have a full second season of the WFigs League written up. The only thing putting me off posting is I'd need to tally up the points. Or possibly, I could just post all the episodes in one. Second series is based 3 years on in 2015. There's a few differences but essentially it's the same. I'm sure I planned out teams for Season 3 at some stage but it doesn't look like I've uploaded it to the cloud (I'm using my phone to post everything, hence the formatting but I still have my old laptop. So it might be recoverable). I think Season 3 was based in 2018. forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/250321/wfigs-premier-league-season-1

Don't write your shows in the reply windows.
I knew this. I know this.
And yet... here we are.

Just always save it after a paragraph/segment or so... ...except for the other day while halfway through writing the opening match for Judgment Day in 03... DTP.

Getting real nostalgic for this place and I see Stuffs id back and DTP's still here.
Might have to jump back in myself.

Got a question for all you guys.
Do you write your shows in advance and if so how far do you write before you post?
I’m on my third attempt at a diary but don’t want to post until I’ve got a few months written. My first diary I was enjoying and was well planned but lost the data on my sim. My last attempt I was writing show by show and lost the thread of it.
Any other general advice for writing?

My last attempt I was writing show by show and lost the thread of it. Any other general advice for writing? I didn't share the Attitude Project on WF (started from April 2, 2000) until I was writing July 2000. I've maintained roughly a three month lead since then. For example, the Project is a week out from SummerSlam in late August - I am actually a week out from Armageddon in early December. It's pretty good to read back shows when looking back, and make any minor tweaks I think are necessary ahead of publishing them. Especially helpful for stuff you think you could try out, but then decide against because the idea aged badly. K-Kwik almost came in with his angry African American gimmick from TNA 2002, until I removed all traces of it pre-debut because it'd be a terrible idea with hindsight. How I normally book is by thinking of big picture projections for characters and storylines. I envision the conclusion first, and work backwards. Sometimes I'll deviate from the plan if I think it helps improve the story, but I'd say I try to book with the next Big 4 PPV idea in mind. For example when you look at Kurt Angle, I had to consider how I could evolve his character and push him to be in the main event of SummerSlam with four months of television. I find once you figure out the right story, it can inspire you to get working on it. When writing shows, I watch the shows as a basic influence, trying not to be too similar but not out of the realm of realism. When it comes to shows I can't find on YouTube/the Network (Jakked, Heat, House Shows), I look at results or show recaps for research purposes. Also, here's my set-up for the diary on my hard drive for an idea of how to organise stuff:

I’ve just about finished my first month of shows (although I’ve cheated by doing a couple of best of shows). I’ve got them on one continuous word document but think I’ll split them by week. Be easier to read back and edit if need be. Thanks again

It did not prove to be a good method haha

Any recommendations for reliable free image hosting sites? My photobook is down which I'm hoping is a temp issue as they've mentioned issues on social media but if not I'll need to re do all the pictures in all my diaries.
