Well, now. I did not see that coming.
That said...I'm going to try out for the position, and probably fail due to my lack of old-school wrestling knowledge.

Wow, a spot openning for Wrestlecrap.com. Sorry to heard about you leaving Jed. I want to try out for the spot and I may try it. I doubt I win but since it not a weekly deal because I know your never weekly either.
I may try it. I have one idea that I think could be a good read.

I didn't watch NWA/WCW until 1996 ... and I like to think, with the few times I delved into that time period/promotion, I did okay. Wow, a spot openning for Wrestlecrap.com. Sorry to heard about you leaving Jed. Don't think of it as "leaving", because I'll still be editing the winner's columns, and reserving the right to post a story should the wind blow the right way in my mind. Think of it more as ... side-stepping. Hope you have more than one good idea. Can't have a one-and-done flame-out as the winner! Jed Shaffer ~One guy's already got an entry in!

Hmmm. Well, the time frame suits me, and I'm fairly sure I could get 411 sorted...
But how much of a sounding board will you be Jed? I'm ok with big ideas and a pretty good week to week man, I'd like to think, but it's the middle ground I get stuck on.

Man, I sure wasn't expecting that. But at least it's good to know the fate of RTB, rather than keep hanging on in anxious anticipation. I've got to say that I'm tempted to try out, but I don't think I'm cut out for it; I'm a horrific procrastinator, so I don't think I could maintain that commitment to getting stories done.
Nonetheless, I'm absolutely positive that as long as the product is under your guidance, Jed, it'll keep being awesome. Good luck to whoever steps up to the plate!

Well, I've got a good idea. And I'm going to send it in tonight, Jed, old pal.
It kinda-sorta-almost violates that rule about a title change for the sake of a story, but when you read the idea, I think you'll agree that it works.

I'll most definitely listen to ideas, and try to help come up with basic sparks that might help light fires in the writer. I'm not going to be a ghost co-writer or anything, but I'll be there, lending a bit of an idea here and there if need be. Jed Shaffer ~I don't think anybody was expecting to read this today. Hell, I never thought I'd do it.

Should I take that "hmm" as C+C Music Factory got in contact with you and told something ... something that made you go ...

Jed, I'm pounding out the last details of my idea, and I'll have it mailed by Thursday.
I'll PM you what I've got now if you're interested.

Well, I do like booking. And I've had a few ideas, as you well know. Certainly Flair/Funk/Steamboat springs to mind.
I'm just thinking it through. I have a week or so after all...

I would love to continue this legacy, but since I already write for a website, coupled with my current schedule, I just can't.

One other thing: Jed, since you posted the Higher Power RTB here on Wrestlecrap, would you consider doing the same for your Invasion one? I just figure it'd be cool to have all the ones you've written be posted here on this site, as well as be a small thing to tide us RTB fans over until August.

I'm still debating it. I, to be perfecftly honest, LOATHE my InVasion story. All I see in it are the flaws, the holes, the missed opportunities. But every now and then, someone asks about it, so ... if demand becomes strong, yes.

This Friday, there will be a post officially closing the contest (which closed last Friday) and listing the confirmed entrants and their stories. Just thought y'all would wanna know. Jed Shaffer ~See your name on the main site! Feel the tingle of awesomeness! And this time, you won't have to use a cream to clear it up!

Wow, that's a pretty neat list! Jed, you might have to consider not just handing over the reigns to one individual writer, but accepting multiple candidates, because a lot of those stories sound pretty good.
I'd especially like to see Fusient buying WCW, RVD not being busted for pot, the Curtain Call not happening, and the ECW crucifixion not happening.
