Good show - lots of shaking up. That said, I am going on a hiatus of sorts, by which I mean the BRB character will be gone for some time, though he will return. I, as a poster, will still be around these boards and I plan to chime in here and there in the interim and write the occasional match.
Also, what did everyone think of the way I wrote JoNo/Bergman?

I thought it was a very well written match BRB. Sorry to see BRB, the character go but I'm glad to hear that you will still be around.

Great match I liked it. I'm interested to see how/when you will return. The Niteraw overall was great, Socko can I still respond to the PM and we can change the ending or should I just not bother?

Yeah BRB, that was an excellent match. Sorry to see your character go for awhile. Hope it comes back better than ever man. Your one of the best here.

Yeah, BRB, sorry to see you go, I enjoyed writing matches around your character.
Am I allowed to take credit for your hiatus (sort of like Mark Henry's trail of destruction)?

And I have a World Title shot? I'm actually quite panicked that I have the chance to be in a main event!

And I have a World Title shot? I'm actually quite panicked that I have the chance to be in a main event! I guess I can understand that, since the last guy to win the world title briefcase felt sort of the same way. Metal had been a member for longer than you have, but he was still reluctant to use the briefcase. As I recall from when he explained why he hadn't used it yet, he said that with other feuds going on over the world title he felt like he might be interrupting a perfectly good story and hogging the spotlight by cashing in, and he was also worried about losing the title in his first defense because people wouldn't consider him a main eventer. Anyway, that continued until he couldn't participate in the WWCF any more, after which time the briefcase got bought by Hideo Nakatomi for Evil M to use, got defended against in a match between JoNo and a wrestler of Hideo's choosing (which turned out to be the debut of The Great Warrior) that JoNo won, and of course you know the rest of the story. I always thought he should've cashed in (ideally at the end of a feud, but if not then so be it) and tried not to worry about whether people thought the belt belonged with him or not. I didn't think he was giving himself enough credit, and I personally would've bought him as a world champion. In your case, Punisher, I think people are ready for it. You just beat a tag team consisting of a former world champion who most of the fed was glad to see return, as well as a guy who's beaten several main eventers. (I wouldn't have normally put myself in the tournament btw, since I'd rather progress to the IF title first or have another run with the tag straps, but when I was asking who should be in it I was surprised to see how many people mentioned Blood, so I thought "Okay.") The majority of people who voted wouldn't have voted for you guys if they didn't think you were good enough.

Sure, I can add it onto the end or have a recap of whatever happened after NiteRaw ended kick off the show next week.

Sorry for the sub-standard effort of my promos. I think I need someone to work off.

I thought it was fine, Amigo. I'm glad people liked how the show turned out, because when I finally read everybody's ideas I realized that it really could've benefitted from me checking PMs more often and answering people sooner. The ending, for example. I want to publicly apologize to Connor and Aaron for that even if neither of them minds not having a chance to participate and add a promo when the original plan was for them to be able to do just that. See, we'd worked out that the four of us (have to wait for Bergman to decide if he wants to be a member or not) were going to join forces in order to keep ViVA Inc. in check. Anyway, before I spent a couple days concentrating on other crap, I got a PM from Connor asking me how I thought we should do the confrontation with ViVA where we announce we're gonna stand up to him. My response at that time was "I think it's a good idea, but it should probably wait until next week since there'll be too much going on this week." Today I can say without spoiling anything that I was referring to the promo with Castle's wife before the tag match. I didn't even know about the Richlen Show segment that also included ViVA yet. And then I found that Viva had sent me the segment he and JoNo had put together, with a part at the end where the other three guys were supposed to walk out and say their pieces. At which point I thought "Oh s***," because by the time I read that I was in the middle of putting the show together and there wasn't time to PM Connor and tell him "Hey guess what, that confrontation thing is happening after all and you can send me a promo for it," or to do the same with Aaron. I mean, I did PM them, but that was at like 5 AM in the time zone we all live in, so the likelihood of both of them being up and responding before I posted the show wasn't that great. And I didn't want to wait until that evening to post it, since I already felt bad about not getting it up on Monday. Could've been worse, I guess, but it all could've been avoided if I'd been on more frequently.

Overall though I thought the show turned out really well. To anyone reading My Promos....I apologise for NOTHING! Frankly I don't think you have anything to apologize for. I'm being really entertained by it. lol I'm enjoying it quite thoroughly.

As far as me and ViVA, Inc. go, as stated in the Richlen Show, it's on a VERY DELICATE "you don't mess with us and we won't mess with you and vice versa" thread, but inevitably that'll end up going out the window.
An quite frankly, Viva, a Richlen/Van Agony feud would be AMAZING.

I think given the end of Niteraw too, that a large scale Survivor Series type tag match might be fun at a PPV...

I'm glad that people like the way the JoNo/Bergman match was written. As you may have noticed, it had minimal description and was very focused on play-by-play to describe the action so as to avoid redundancy. It's somewhat inspired by audio drama writing method. I plan to use that style in future matches I write.

Good show everyone. What if maybe I picked the two competitors for the IF #1 Contender's match while I take on The Great Warrior? I have no problem jobbing...i mean, competing against you.
