Okay, this show didn't turn out the way I was hoping, because I was working with The Sam and another guy on a pretty important segment that would have explained two things. One thing it would've explained was why Jono mentioned receiving a text (and since I PM'd Jono saying "Write something into your promo where you get a text, it'll make sense when you see the show, trust me," I feel pretty f***ing stupid right now. Sorry Jono). The other thing it would've explained was what Blood was preoccupied with. I thought that it would get to BRB--I was told that it was going to be sent to BRB--but it turns out that it wasn't, and at this point there doesn't seem to be any way to put it on THIS week's show without contradicting other stuff. Also included was a promo by Blood about Aaron Enigma. Without that on the show, it makes it seem like all Blood cares about is the world title. And that's part of the reason I'm this frustrated. I revised the first post of the show to include some of said material. Other parts can wait until the next Niteraw.

Now for a little post-mortem:
First, I again congratulate this e-fed for the astounding number of submissions this week.
Second, I hope everyone noticed a pair of matches that didn't meet the writing guidelines: Whitey and Hellis3000's squash matches. I left them intact not to shame either of them, but to display their hopefully evident "sore thumb" nature. That said, both of them were early submissions that predate my posting of the writing guidelines, so it's not their faults at all.
Third, now that Hellis3000 write his character's debut match, here's a new rule: new members will not be booked until they write a promo for Niteraw. After that, they must write their debut . This is too acclimate new members and make them understand a taste of what goes into every show every week as well as to prove they have some level of commitment and will be worth booking.
So that said, Aaron Enigma lives, welcome back Evil M,, and welcome to the show, Hellis3000. Oh, and now that the Freakin' Awesome Championship is official, Viva and I can check another box of for our grand schemes.
Let's get to the next Niteraw!

I'm back! And I am going to write a squash match for next week's show. Any particular jobber I should use, BRB?

Artie! or else Rob Wright. You and Vokoun should follow up the cliffhanger from this week while building up to an Inter-Forums Title match.

I'm also going to update my profile with the new music and a new moveset.

As far as my grand slam is concerned, technically, since the Heatz title was merged into the InterForum belt, and I held both the belts that are now the FA Title, and the Television title is new... IT STILL COUNTS, DAMMIT! However, sooner or later, I DO need to get me a shot at the TV title, so I can have the SUPER Grand Slam Moving on, I an genuinely disappointed that we still don't know who the MS is.

OK, my moveset's been updated. I think I could probably use one or two more moves, including a weardown submission. I noticed I don't have many moves that work over the arm, which is kinda necessary for the Crossface.
Also, should I have the same ladies accompany me every week, or different ones?

To think, when I first took up co-booking, the Majority Shareholder was supposed to be revealed by the end of last year. In fact, didn't the Majority Shareholder angle first begin just before Gookermania? That means this angle is almost six months in the making.

My face when i completely missed adding commentary.
Was there anything else that i clearly missed on I need to know for future reference.
Edit: Noted the asterix rule. Used to writing up posts for forum RPs. Where its No asterixes as a rule, and more straight up creative writing. I shall have to remember that next time.

It's pretty much just learning by doing. You're bound to make a few mistakes along the way, but that's normal. We're fairly nice around here, we won't mock you. {Spoiler}Much.

Used to writing up posts for forum RPs. Where its No asterixes as a rule, and more straight up creative writing. I shall have to remember that next time. Like I said, I posted the new standards after you already sent me the match. I would recommend you reread your match, then read other matches for comparison, contrast, and assimilation. Most "first matches" are far from perfect whether technically or narratively. It all comes with practice. I think, judging from your first match here, you just need to get used to the technical standards and you probably will be gravy. Key thing is to make the match read like it is a broadcasted wrestling match, where the psychology is conveyed by the actions in the ring and highlighted by commentary.

First of all, glad to see you back in active competition M. I would've said something earlier, but better late than never. As for moves, two that I can think of are a Fujiwara armbar (which always looked more painful than a cross armbreaker to me) and maybe Nigel McGuinness' "London Dungeon", seen here. EDIT: Here's a closer look than what's in the video:

Jono wants Vokoun.
Also, looking at the history, Thunderdome is usually held between Late March and early May, but the last two years the PPV it was held at was WrestleCRAPocalypse.
So the question is, do we do it at Wheel of Misfortune or in December at WrestleCRAPocalypse?
Personally, I prefer the former, since the latter is too close to Chamber Of Horrors.

As for WrestleCrapocalypse, I think the Thunderdome match is quite attached to it, considering the theme, and the PPV was moved to December because of the Mayan apocalypse schadenfreude. Furthermore, Wheel of Misfortune is predicated on random stipulations, and Thunderdome isn't random. I see your concern - that it will be two PPVs in a row where the main event involves a cage match. Because neither PPV shall happen anytime soon, I am receptive to suggestions, but I don't think it will harm much because the matches have their clear differences.
