Brad Bingham’s show:
I didn’t want to comment on this, but it’s kind of an issue for me. You really need to work on punctuation. A lot of run-on sentences makes it hard to read.
Moving on, though…
I’m very intrigued by your choices for the tournament. Any of combination of those guys, in their prime, would make for a great PPV main event.
Tag team battle royal is intriguing, but now we’re getting into stuff that worries me.
I realize Russo is the GM, but do we need Russo-esqe booking? The Women’s Champion being decided via bikini contest? Not a fan of that.
I do like your idea for the TV Title, however. Harkens back to OVW’s original TV Championship and Brent Albright’s destruction of the whole roster. DiBiase as the first Champion… I’m going to have to give that some time. But an Angle-Abbot feud COULD be interesting.
Now that I read the Women’s Championship segment, I’m glad to see there was a reason for that booking. Divas V. Wrestlers is something I would love to see done properly.
Loving the Masters of the Powerbomb. Great way to debut them too, by having them take out two top teams.
Not crazy about rehashing Goldberg-Russo, sorry.
Orton, Chono, Muta, and Mitchell? I have to say, I kinda like it. And I would love to see an Undertaker/Mitchell feud down the road. And no matter which way you decide to go with Sting/DDP next week, the Blaze of Glory main event should be pretty good.
Ratings:
Opening match: 5/10; I wanted to rate it higher, but the interference hurt it’s score with me Second match: 7/10 Third match: 1/10; Sorry, but I cant justify a strong rating for a squash match Main Event: 2/10; It was barely a match, but I liked the angle involved, so I’m adding 3 points, for 5/10 Overall Rating: 5/10
There were things I didn’t like, but at the same time, there were things I did. I’m a little worried you may fall into the trap of overdoing it with the swerves. There were five in just this one episode! Just slow down a bit. There’s no need to rush things. I'd prefer to see solid angles, with payoffs that build up overtime. I don't need to be shocked every few minutes.

Bergman’s show:
OK, we’re one segment in and The Miz is already the star of the show.
Richie Steamboat right out of the gate, up against your top heel. Nice little match, and I think Miz winning was the right way to go. Richie gets to shine, while Miz keeps his heat at the end. Cena endorsing Richie is fine and it’s good to see the top face and heel established right from the get go.
The six man tag was a strange mix of size and styles, which was OK, but nothing special. Sinn Bohdi and Abyss should be an interesting storyline, though. A three-way dance Championship is definitely an interesting idea.
Robbie E and Zack Ryder as a team. I can dig it. Truth and Consequences reunion, OK. Not a bad tag match at all and I was pleasantly surprised to see The Broskis get the win.
Sara Del Rey in the battle royal… I can’t really get behind that, mainly because female V. male storylines rarely work out in the end. Hopefully, this will prove to be an exception.
Main event is typical Cena fare, which is too bad. I was hoping to see him really go at it with one of the best indy guys out there. Miz gets his revenge on Cena and stands tall in the end.
There’s a good mix of guys on your roster, which should make for some unique interactions down the line. I think Cena/Steen was a missed opportunity, but it served it’s purpose for this show.
Ratings:
Opening match: 7/10 Second match: 5/10; once again, not a bad match, but nothing outstanding either. Third match: 7/10 Main Event: 6/10; I may not have been keen on how it played out, but it did what it was there to do Overall Rating: 7/10
Your show was probably my favorite out of the first week. Several angles established from the get-go, two solid matches, and good development of your characters. A very good debut.

Thanks for your comments Evil M I know my punctuation is not good I've always had a problem with that when I was in school I'll try to do better next time.
The whole women's title in a bikini contest was meant to be a joke I've got a big storyline planned for that sort of like what WWE is doing right now with Beth Phoenix and Kelly Kelly. Just for the record I thought about doing the Divas VS Wrestlers feud before that segment on Raw last monday thats why I picked Stacy and Candice for my show Lita and Kong are going to get involved pretty soon.
I got plans for a big feud with DiBiase over the TV title which should start building on next weeks show.
There will more to the story with Goldberg/Russo I've got someone planned to feud with Goldberg and then Russo is going to be an after thought in the whole feud sort of.
There will be an Undertaker/Mitchell feud. After getting screwed out of the tournament Undertaker will be seeking revenge on the Unholy Army.
The first show just laid the foundation of where I'm going with this. I don't plan to do anymore swerves I just had to do a lot in this first show to lay the ground work for my angles to build up, ex. Tank taking out Kurt, The Female Wrestlers taking out the Divas, the forming of the Unholy Army and the debut of the Masters of the Powerbomb.

M , I understand where you are coming from, and trust me, I get what you are saying. This is only the first show and I have all the storylines mapped out for the next three months. Everything is leading to a big bang.

okay time to review Brad's show
Okay so a mini tournament with four compeititors alright interesting choices as well bikini contest ugh well i'm not going to take points off for that tag team champions determined next week okay I like the tv title idea it gives everyone who aren't in major storylines a chance to shine also with having russo tweener for now I wonder which way you're going to have him turn
first match nothing really special here it would have been better if Angle would of won and Tank beat him up after but again that's just me
backstage segment hmm maybe Ted could of tried to stop Tank i know he's heel but still and it seems like he's turning face
Bra and pennies match and another attack I agree with Ivory with everything that she says here
Goldberg-Russo segment yup definatly turning russo face
another filler match and again not a big fan of squash matches in the co main event not much to say here
main event and another attack but this time it sets up a stable and orton moving on is good
ovarall I don't mind interferences and dirty finishes but they get annoying to read when you do them a lot during a show I know you're building up storylines though and hopefully it gets better
6.5/10

Thanks for the rating.
I know my rating is pretty low right now but really it doesn't bother me I don't really expect to win. Now winning this would be pretty awesome, but honestly I'm really just doing this for fun more than winning a game, I love fantasy booking I've got all the Guest Bookers from Kayfabecommentaries except 1 (Very good DVD series really shows you what goes into being a booker and booking a promotion).
Anyway I'm really enjoying this game so far I can't wait to get started and book next weeks show I'm hoping it will get a better rating.

Just for fun I created the BWF stable in EWR (Extreme Warfare Revenge) and booked the first week of Rage and see what EWF gives me as my rating.
Vince Russo comes out from the back. He takes the microphone and makes it clear that he is in a position of power within this company.
Overall Rating: 3%
Kurt Angle vs Ted DiBiase Jr. (For The BWF TV Title) : Angle gets caught with a belly to belly suplex from Dibiase. Belly to belly suplex by Dibiase. Kurt Angle walks into a stiff lariat clothesline from Dibiase. Cover for a two count. Stun Gun from Ted DiBiase Jr.! There used to be this blonde guy in WCW in the early 90's who used that...i wonder what happened to him? Cover for a two count. Kurt Angle elbows Ted DiBiase Jr. in the face to break a hammerlock. Double arm suplex by Kurt Angle, Dibiase hits hard. There's a two count on the pin. Tiger bomb by Kurt Angle, although no mention is made of whether it originated in Pearl River. Dibiase kicks Kurt Angle in the gut to reverse the momentum. Delayed brainbuster suplex, Dibiase held that one for ages. Tank Abbott comes running down the aisle and onto the apron! Angle turns...and is dropped throat-first onto the top rope by T. Abbott! Tank Abbott has left Angle in big trouble. Ted DiBiase Jr. moves in for the kill. Here it comes - Dream Crusher. 1....2...3, it's finished. Tank Abbott pushes the referee aside, then continues to assault Angle! Right hands rain down on Kurt Angle, pounding him into the canvas. Satisfied with his work, Tank Abbott turns and leaves the ring, the damage done. Almost wandered into *** match territory, but there was too much that dragged it down so it only gets a **3\4 rating.
Overall Rating: 79% Crowd Reaction: 83% Match Quality: 70%
Ted DiBiase Jr. gained 2 points of overness from this match. The BWF TV title has gained in image.
Candice Michelle is in the ring. Out from the back comes Ivory, and she slides in. They begin brawling. From the crowd comes Molly Holly, who joins in the attack on Candice. The two-on-one attack leaves Candice Michelle down on the mat, hurt.
Overall Rating: 76%
Ivory gained 3 points of overness from this segment.
Motor City Machine Guns vs Team 3D : Shelley hits a massive spinning kick to the jaw. Hard back suplex on D-Von. Anyone remember when that was Shawn Michaels's finisher? Cover for a two count. Tag to Chris Sabin. Motor City Machine Guns whip D-Von into the corner. Alex Shelley whips Chris Sabin in for a hard clothesline to follow-up. Cover for a two count. Spin kick by Chris Sabin to the face. D-Von Dudley comes up with a right hand out of nowhere. Big piledriver on Sabin. Hooks the leg for a two count. D-Von tags out to Bubba Ray Dudley. Spear by Bubba Ray Dudley. Pin : 1 - 2 - 2.9999999. Bubba slams Chris Sabin down. Sabin blocks a kick from Bubba Ray Dudley. Sabin hits a dropkick on Bubba Ray Dudley. Tag between Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley. Spinning back kick from Alex Shelley. Tag to D-Von Dudley. Driven DDT by Alex Shelley. The ring shook violently, instantly making it better at selling than some of the current roster. D-Von Dudley is all alone...ASCS Rush!! 1....2....3! Masters of the Powerbomb just hit the ring with chairs! Stereo chair shots put down Motor City Machine Guns! Bubba tries to attack, but gets beaten to the floor with punches and kicks. D-Von Dudley has a brief offensive flurry, but gets nailed with a boot to the gut...and hit with the Super Bomb! Masters of the Powerbomb have laid everyone out! This one gets a ***1\4 rating, it was a good bout.
Overall Rating: 82% Crowd Reaction: 82% Match Quality: 83%
Bill Goldberg is walking backstage, when he meets Vince Russo. They trade insults, get in each others faces, but eventually walk off without coming to blows.
Overall Rating: 47%
Bill Goldberg lost 2 points of overness from this segment. Vince Russo gained 3 points of overness from this segment.
Bill Goldberg vs Justin Gabriel : Goldberg slams Justin Gabriel. Big clothesline on Gabriel. Full nelson slam on Gabriel. Death valley driver by Bill Goldberg, Justin Gabriel is down and hurt. Justin Gabriel can barely stand. Spear!!! That shook the ring. 1....2....3!! Bill Goldberg remains in the ring, celebrating the victory. This one gets * rating and likes it.
Overall Rating: 49% Crowd Reaction: 39% Match Quality: 59%
NOTE: I used Gabriel since I didn't have any squash guys on my show.
This match suffered because the crowd were still pumped up from the last one, and so this bout was seen as something of a let-down to them.
Randy Orton vs Undertaker : Running knee lift from Undertaker. Orton walks into a spike slam. Hooks the leg for a two count. Orton kicks Undertaker in the gut to reverse the momentum. Randy Orton hits some punches. Bodyslam by Orton. Hooks the leg for a two count. Lifting DDT by Randy Orton, looked good. Pin, but Undertaker is out just before the three count. Flying shoulder tackle by Orton sends Undertaker to the mat. Undertaker powers out of a headlock. Massive backbreaker, Orton got planted. Early reports indicate that the back was *not* actually broken, so the move's name should actually be backhurter. There's a two count on the pin. Death valley driver by Undertaker, Randy Orton got planted. Cover, but there's a last second kick-out. Flying shoulder tackle by Undertaker sends Orton to the mat. Chanelling the spirit of Misawa, Undertaker uses a forearm to the face. Undertaker gets taken down out of nowhere. Randy Orton with a spinning neckbreaker on Undertaker. Randy Orton scores with a big spinebuster. Masahiro Chono comes running down the aisle with a chair! Orton whips Undertaker into the ropes. Chono jumps onto the apron with the chair! Collision between Chono, Undertaker, and the chair! Undertaker staggers back into a roll up! 1...2...3! It's over! Orton and Chono tie Undertaker up in the ropes, then start punching away at him until referees run down and break it up. A good *** rating.
Overall Rating: 85% Crowd Reaction: 89% Match Quality: 78%
Masahiro Chono is losing overness because of his weak gimmick.
The 4 members of Unholy Army are backstage. They hyped themselves up, talking about what a great stable they are.
Overall Rating: 80%
James Mitchell gained 1 point of overness from this segment.
Overall Rating of the Show: 60%
The reason the first Russo segment got 3% rating was because Russo wasn't originally on my EWR game as a worker so I created him but I forgot to edit his stats, I didn't realize this until I had already created the match card so his overness was at 0 well even if I gave him a more realistic overness I don't know if my show would of gotten a better rating.
I know some of this isn't like I booked it but it was the best I could do with what EWR gives me.

and finally Bergman's review
opening segment Over the top rope battle royal different from stinger and Brad's i'm looking foward to it
first match Miz vs richie goos match miz winning is the right choice would of been surprised if richie won
john saving Richie typical cena always saving people from attacks
6 man tag team match wierd match but wierd is good right....okay anyway I like seth's team winning
don't really know a lot about robbie since i don't really watch tna but that doesn't matter wonder where you're gonna go with this
tag team match good match broskis winning a little surprising since zack and Robbie are an inexperienced tag team
main event Cena winning is obvious and I was also suspecting miz getting revenge on cena from before
ovarall good show probably my favorite show as well a couple of things i didn't like like the 6 man tag match the main event was obvious as to what would happen
8/10

BRADBINGHAM:
OPENING SEGMENT: 5/10.
MATCH #1: 7.5/10. I have a feeling that this could be fuel for a potential Tank/Angle feud somewhere down the line.
MATCH #2 THAT WINDS UP NOT BEING A MATCH: 6/10. The feud you have planned here definitely has its potential.
MATCH #3: 7.5/10. This is gonna be a wild tag division to say the very least.
MATCH #4: 2/10.
MAIN EVENT: 5.5/10.
RUSSO AS GM: 6/10. I want to see what direction this goes in.
OVERALL: 6/10. I basically share M's views on how the show went. Using my own view, there are quite a few intriguing storylines going, so let's see how this turns out.
BERGMAN:
OPENING SEGMENT: 7.5/10. When I saw Miz on your roster, I should have seen this coming, especially since I write as Miz in the WWE: FAN Edition e-fed. This Miz sticks more to the TV Miz than mine does, which is perfectly fine by me.
MATCH #1: 6.5/10. And the first of two seeds leading to a Cena/Miz feud are planted...
MATCH #2: 6/10.
MATCH #3: 6/10.
SDR SEGMENT: 6.5/10. I'll be interested to see how well Sara actually does in the battle royal.
MAIN EVENT: 7/10. The second seed is now planted. Also, I doubt this will be the last time there's a Cena/Steen confrontation.
OVERALL: 6.5/10. Good job starting the Cena/Miz feud, and the Abyss/Sinn interaction also leaves me intrigued.
