This reminds me when I had a CAW league in SVR 06 and I stopped playing for a while. I had kept notes of what I did but, for whatever reason, I didn't have them available the night I actually started it back up. First major angle I booked was Ghost Rider teaming up with Symbiote Spiderman as a top heel faction with Apocalypse and Mr. Clean.
The next day, I finally looked at the notes. You know what the last angle I did was?
Symboite Spiderman cheating to win Ghost Rider's title and beating the shit out of him afterwards, lmao.
My point is, these mistakes are surprisnigly easy when you don't have somebody that knows that they are doing looking things over.

WWE is like Saved by the Bell. Bright colors, good looking people, and no continuity or long term storytelling. I almost feel bad for the person who gets this job. if I'm honest I don't think wrestling needs long term continuity. I mean there are some things that should stick... people that have teamed in the past (unless like it was under a different gimmick entirely like Repo Man and Smash) and if they had massive bloody feuds with each other should at least still not like each other even if one turns heel. See I feel everything should have continuity, or at least an explanation. We are already supposed to suspend disbelief for the actual fighting in the ring, but to have to accept bad storytelling on top of that is excessive, IMO. Like Rollins asking Ambrose to forgive him and that story taking weeks to play out was compelling TV. It made sense. The characters both had logical motivations. Rollins realized his poor ways and was asking for forgiveness while Ambrose was understandably reluctant. If they just suddenly started teaming again after a week like nothing ever happened, then it would have been stupid. The WWE clearly does not need to be logical to keep their audience. Wrestling fans can swallow a lot of BS. But having that continuity and being able to have the show flow with interlocking stories and realistic actions/reactions from characters will just make for a better product in general.

This same creative team that had Chris Kreski also had BOTH Chris Dejoseph and Chris Roach who IMO are the best creative pair in wrestling because they created the best televised wrestling show of all time in LU.
They had all those guys...made fun of kreski , turned Chris Dejoseph into gawd damn big dick johnson and Chris roach was never even given a fair shake.

I play a lot of EWR and even with a built-in notepad and the ability to check previous shows, I still end up making a mistake or forgetting from week to week what I was doing. Whoever gets this job, good luck to them lol

Triple H: We need more continuity.
Dunn: What is that?
Vonce: I believe it’s an old wooden ship.

[insert image of Charlie in the mailroom from “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia” here] So by this time next year, we should see a prominent push for a guy named "Pepe Sylvia"?

I’d love to be the guy who has to go in and tell Vince that something he’s written doesn’t make sense because of a storyline from 3 months ago.

I’ll be honest, It feels like they have this job now so they have someone to yell at when the stories are poorly recieved. No way it ends up being used for it’s intended purpose.
Not in this company at least.

Really? Continuity is important, WWE? You don't f***ing say?!
Jesus, why do things that seem so simple, backwards? Been watching Mid-South and say whatever you will about the Cowboy, but Bill Watts keep continuity tight as possible. ECW? Thrived on that shit. Randy Savage and Bret Hart? Their stories wouldn't have the impact without continuity.

Goodluck to anyone who wants that thankless job. Tries to keep continuity ..only for someone even higher up to override your efforts. Eh. It's a paycheck.

This position is only to serve as a scapegoat when shit doesn't go as planned.

Didn't they do this a few years ago and then turned around and got rid f the role because it was impossible and no one listened to the person anyway?
