Any (spoiler free, of course) comments you can make about the Battle Bowl results, Socko? Also, if either CageKing or Jeremy Dupoe have any suggestions for their match, let me know by PM please. I'm going to try and get it written early this weekend. I can give some spoiler-free comments ;D: 1. I have a feeling that one of the "Final 4" contestants will be shocked that he is in the "Final 4." I think that Socko knows who I refer to here. 2. Even if the winner and the final elimination reversed roles, the right man still would have won IMO. 3. I'm satisfied with how far I got. That's what I can think to say. I hope to upstage my efforts with Battle Bowl 2010 - shouldn't be too hard with 50% more wrestlers. ;D

Hey guys. So long story short, my grandma is alright now. It was just the extreme heat that caused her mini-stroke. She's almost 100 % recovered, so there is no more worry.
Bad news is, school has started back up so I'm going to be on a limited schedule again. I'll try and do as much as I can, but don't expect the absolute best from me unfortunately.
Anyway, someone care to fill me in on what has happened so far?

Well, looks like Irene was a big blow hard here. Hope everyone who was in her path is alright. I'm good if anything needs to be written just let me know.

Socko should be on today at some point so I imagine I can get it from him unless Caleb is able to send it. Then I'll write it up.

Good to see that all of us seem to have gotten through the hurricane all right, and I'm also glad to hear that your grandmother is doing better, Sparks. Socko should be on today at some point so I imagine I can get it from him unless Caleb is able to send it. Then I'll write it up. I'll PM you with the result right after this post, Connor. I really appreciate you stepping up, since I wasn't sure if I'd be able to write more than Shamar vs. Botchsuke on time. EDIT TO ADD: By the way, does anybody have any advice for the people who are in slumps right now? Or stories about your own losing streaks and how they finally got broken? Because it's no fun seeing guys become discouraged due to losing repeatedly, and I know it's even less fun for them going through it. In my own experience, turning heel seemed to help Blood & Stone, but I realize that's just one case and that doing it doesn't always guarantee you'll gain votes.

On Losing streaks.......
-Accept that sometimes they're going to happen, it's part of the beast.
- On the part of the "Character" make yourself distinct, state your motives, unless you're actually WRITING your matches then you're basically JUST providing exposition. You're doing the "Telling" and letting someone else do the "Showing". Take an active role in your matches (And yes....I realize I'm the LAST person that should be saying this) if asked to.
- RESPOND to promos! Dear LORD! RESPOND! A good promo "war" is like a game of catch, you either toss it back and forth or you simply catch the ball and go home. Now, not every Promo within a feud has to be DIRECT response to another, but don't completely disregard your opponent.
- Don't just promo for yourself, try to boost your "allies" when applicable.
- On the Voter end: Please.....read the promo thread first. Voting on day 1 means that we're ALL wasting our time promoing

For what it's worth, I ended my losing record by:
: A gimmick change, from dirt-poor man of the people to rich douche-bag : Came up with my own storylines, which worked better than piggy backing on others'. : Promos. Promo, promo, promo. Even if it's not directed at you, promo. : Easy gimmick. My gimmick is just me turned up to eleven, which makes it a hell of a lot easier to promo

Voting on day 1 means that we're ALL wasting our time promoing MPM nails it on all fronts. A person just has to keep plugging away and not worry so much about wins and losses. Concentrate on being entertaining and original because eventually either people will warm up to the gimmick or appreciate the player's stick-to-itiveness and vote for them. Forming a tag team with somebody is another good way to go as well, since there's kind of a dearth of them in the WWCF.

Good points, my wandering employee. Also, it might help to find a spot that's empty and fill it. When I was thinking about my new gimmick, there was not a whole lot of just pure, easy to dislike, heels. So I just took over that spot. I also just started acting like I was already a main-eventer, when I was nowhere near that point yet, and people slowly started taking a shine to the Wrestling Messiah. I also stole, blatantly, from the Million Dollar Man, JBL, and the Nature Boy.

For me, the WWCF has plenty of tweener badasses out to prove they're "the best in the world". One more just adds to the glut. Be a chickenshit heel, or a babyface luchador, or a big dumb hoss. Just like in real fake wrestling feds, variety is good.
