In addition to the strikes it would be good if people added a few more basic or transitional moves into their lists. It's difficult to write a realistic match without it becoming a spotfest with no flow when everybody has 10 potential finishing moves as their moveset. Another point I thought of is in regards to promos. Now this isn't a criticism of anyone on the roster because most people are pretty good with their promos, but there can be a tendency at times to totally bury an opponent in a promo. To paraphrase a quote from Jericho's first book, he talks about a chewing out he got when he buried an older guy on the mic early in his career by just talking about how old he was. It was something like "If you talk about my experience and how I'm a skilled veteran and I beat you AND I WILL BE BEATING YOU, it's ok, because you've been beaten by a seasoned vet, and if you beat me AND YOU WILL NOT BE BEATING ME, then wow, great, you just beat an experienced star. If you bury me as an old loser, and you beat me, then what does it matter, you just beat a guy who you said was worthless and if I beat you then you look totally stupid because you've just lost to that same old loser."Now I know there are some circumstances where it's impossible to put over an opponent at all, but (and I know I'm guilty of it too) there is a risk of making the game just a tad more difficult for everybody and less enjoyable because it's not as fun to participate if people are constantly buried in the first promo in the build to a match or a feud. There obviously couldn't be a definitive rule to this effect, but I think some sort of unwritten 'fair balance' policy could be useful in making things more interesting and appealing, especially to newcomers. I use that exact quote as my guideline for most promos, both here and in the other feds. Unless the whole point of the promo is to bury the opponent until they finally have enough, I try to put them over before I tear into them. I've tried since my return to do the same. It's a good measuring stick I think.

As I'm dogged by my own insecurities, I've been meaning to ask what everybody thinks of my match writing since I returned. I just wanted to make sure I was ticking enough boxes for people and making everybody look sufficiently strong enough.

As I'm dogged by my own insecurities, I've been meaning to ask what everybody thinks of my match writing since I returned. I just wanted to make sure I was ticking enough boxes for people and making everybody look sufficiently strong enough. being honest, I like them. But I find the excessive use of CAPITAL LETTERS to be a bit unecessary. I mean its a great way to emphasise the impact of a big move. But when it happens every paragraph, or 3 times in a paragraph it comes off as a guy who doesn't know how to use his inside voice. And it kinda kills the drama when everything insists that everything is a big deal. Makes it seem like more of a spotfest than a lack of strikes does. Beyond that though I'd say youre doing a bang up job.

Thanks guys.
I was unaware of sending the matches to Gus Richlen for the commentary before this week, so now I'll be able to do that, and with that, I'll be able to avoid the excessive caps as the commentary can do that job for me.

Actually, Gus was just doing guest commentary on the two main events. He doesn't add commentary to other matches usually.

It looks like Bergman vs. Lodi still needs a writer, so I'll do that if you need me to, M.
EDIT: Also, who all is going to be booking the shows after this PPV? I have an idea I'd like to send 'em.
