I always thought you were a bit unsung in how you do characters. If it means anything, I was rooting for you in the BattleBowl after myself, of course. I appreciate that. I basically knew I wasn't winning. It would've been nice, but it was clearly Seth's match from the get-go. As far as characters go, it's all been learning from experience. Both here and in the WWE and TNA feds. When I tried to write a character as they normally are(Velvet Sky, John Morrison, R-Truth, Evil Masked wordlifeecw(basically Kane )) it failed. Characters that are completely different(Daivari, Goldust and Cena, Champion of Honor Evil M, the entire Winter/Mickie/Katy mess in TNA) are easier to write, since I can let my creativity flow. And when I did have success with established characters(Mickie, Regal, Kozlov), it was because I put my own spin on things.

Well, I didn't do too bad when I wrote as Mickie for her last year in the WWE fed, but that was when I suddenly turned her into a ultra-vicious type with a sledgehammer at Summerslam. And she was still a face until her retirement match victory at WM27.

Oh god, don't break out the tropes. You have no idea how hard it is at times to fight to urge to have Connor link things in the promo thread. lol

I think I used Even Evil Has Standards word for word to describe Ryan Blood in his profile, during the time he was in the Pantheon. Another trope for him during the period when the Pantheon was running things could be Pragmatic Villainy. And when he turned on Colt, Defector From Decadence. (Sorry Connor.)

So, is that why you distance yourself from me, since I don't?

So, is that why you distance yourself from me, since I don't? Have standards, you mean? That was part of it. Right before Blood & Stone split, Stone was going around crippling everybody and Blood was siding with Jonathan Michaels in his feud against Evil M and Hideo. So when we faced the Steampunks, Blood did not want to injure JoNo and Stone did. I also thought about emphasizing the Pragmatic Villainy thing more by having Blood tell Colt that letting Stone run around putting guys on the shelf was bad for business, since every time he did it the WWCF lost a guy who could be making them money. However, I then remembered that Blood had been totally apathetic when you took out Jeremy Grave and even said something to the effect of "good riddance", so for him to suddenly act like he'd always been against it wouldn't have made sense.

Also the great irony of Blood bring Stone into heeldom perhaps a bit too well.

Man Amigo, looking at your trope list made me realize how totally opposite our characters really are. And for the record, I was in Corporate for 6 days as a set-up to the eventual heel turn for MOP that also sent me on my quest to redeem myself to the fans.

Yes, you one of the nicest guys, with me, alongside Viva (who is more of the smug prick kind) of sharing the Most Evil of WWCF title, with mine just being utterly vile and sadistic.

I've rarely given much thought about what BRB is in TVTropes terms, but I did always know that he is a quintessential Brute. Boisterous Bruiser too, now that I think of it.

Almost finished with the second draft of MitBoB. Definitely an improvement over the first. After that I need still need to write commentary. It should be in tomorrow in a timely manner.
