Thoughts so far on the shows :


Brad Maddox Guy : I like the strong main event on your opening show. The monopoly segment makes me anticipate more comedy. Wonder where the Harts are going?.

I should probably say not to expect much more comedy as far as the Harts are concerned at least. The monopoly segment stemmed from a joke with some friends which I felt would translate well into this, especially with Vince Russo 'booking' the shows :P

Really enjoyed beaker and Bounty Hunters shows so far

Sorry about the delay. I couldn't decided whether I needed another meathead or not.

PM sent could hopefully be in round thirteen by the evening.

Lord TSC

Thankfully, this year we only had one tie in the average draft pick round. That being between JP Liz and TBC. As I did last year, I let alphabetical order decide who goes first. So Liz goes before Crab

Otherwise, it was nice and straightforward this year. I think last year there was something like 7 people tied across 3 scores.

Alfred Borden

sticking up the pick now, dont think he has been picked but correct me if he has been.

Bounty Hunter

Cheers Beaker / Joe for the kind words, going to try and maybe put a bit more comedy in the next one if possible but overall im going for a logical month long build where all the feuds are started and finish (or atleast they have a PPV match, cos obviously feuds can continue after) so don't expect too many more big surprise debuts at the end of shows for example but there will still be one of two debuts for feuds that haven't quite gotten going yet but being a little lower on the card I can afford to start a little later once they start with a bang, Mojo Rawley / Mickie James for example have been drafted but are yet to appear in the BWA and will have PPV matches. For this reason obviously they might have a bigger section of the next weeks show while say the tag or ownership feud may take a slight back seat just like former chairman Bounty Hunter did in show 2 (he will be back but not in as big a role as previous years).

btw as MNG/Walt know from previous years when our feds feuded (and continue to) if I mention anyone elses fed on mine it's not my opinion but that of my superstars, they might poke fun at another fed so as to big themselves up for example telling another wrestler that "this (The BWA) is the major league of pro wrestling, if you want to keep performing like that you might as well go back to MNG or WECWF where that kind of sh!t is acceptable"

so don;t take anything personally folks, for example very impressed by MNG as usual so far this year and Walts roster is savage it must be said... they are still shoite compared to the BWA of course though :pac:

Bounty Hunter

also really surprised Bob Sapp lasted till round 14/15... btw he is a Rapist! (that def needs clarifying... see the BWA 2013 and his feud with former BWA tag partner Bobby Lashley (and Ms Kristal Lashley)

Oh Im well aware of Bob Sapps history in BWA. Reading last years right ups gave me the idea to draft him. Was going to pick 2 other big guys til I thought of Sapp.

iirc, he was never convicted

ha, not really though he was dragged off by police at the end of his PPV bout with Lashley iirc.

Obviously continuity isn't needed here though and you can ignore the past but it can be a fun thing to reference, have all the Diva's scared of badass Bob Sapp's arrival in your fed for instance in the same way you better believe im going to reference how WECWFs title was retired at a BWA show last year

Arrested and not convicted.... That's how Im spinning it

Might have him in a different role but his past will be mentioned at the very least.

Lord TSC

Argh. The problem with drafting Arnold Schwarhenegger is typing his name out continually

First show nearly done. Should be up soon.

lebowskilite

If you just want to say Arnold Shwarmaniggler we'll understand.

"Arnold! Stop niggling with the shawarma!"

My 1st week post has been replaced with a "podcast" transcript outlining the events of the last 12 months in ICW. All comments appreciated. Next post will be my week 2 show.

Bounty Hunter

will try and comment on shows when I get to them as they are coming thick and fast now and (as always feedback on the BWA is appreciated), i'll have show 3 up in a few days hopefully) i've fallen a few shows behind. Just got to read through Beakers and I must say I like how you are booking Ambrose, he looks like he will be a big player on your roster and obviously it will be interesting to see if Goldberg will have any backup or if he will have to go it alone against Okada and his crew

Mr.Nice Guy

Picks made. Think I have everything in place for the rest of my shows now which is nice. Haven't yet begun writing the rest though which is not so nice.

Bounty Hunter

pick made, more of a formality than anything else, completing the trios of Demolition and The Freebirds.

Cursh (Brah!) had one hell of a lot of (terrible) gimmicks thinking about it, from Demolition, to Hawaiian Crush (Brah!...damn you Jaykhunter), to bearded "Japanese sympathizer" Crush, Biker Crush / NOD iirc Crush, NWO Crush (probably stopped being Crush and became Brian Adams here) but why not keep the theme going with Kiss & Kronik Crush!

This wasn't him, that was Dale Torborg who played the Kiss Demon iirc

Scratch that, I was informed he played Demon before Dale did. Carry on.(that's what I get for being a smart arse)

beakerjoe wrote: »

remember reading somewhere else but now saw the same thing on wiki that he did it first but then passed it on to Torborg, apparently he had done enough lame duck gimmicks to know when to get out at this stage.

Also read he made some decent money going to kiss conventions and the like at the time!

but whatever about all his other gimmicks he will be Demolition Crush this time in the BWA

ShagNastii

To say the barrel is going to be scraped in the next round is an understatement. I'd imagine you'll count on one hand the WWE/WCW/ECW Alumni that don't actually get picked. Should still be fun though.

PM made.

Bounty Hunter

Shagnasti, I liked your second write up and must say your two main matches (savage & Bryan's respectively)were given a lot of time and were a good read with Storm in particular being raised up and given a lot more credibility as a result IMO

TSC: thought you were going to have a Vince vs HHH angle for a bit but it makes more sense the way you went instead. HHH vs Eddie now seems more likely and if they had to pick a small guy to side with why not the merch machine. Enjoying all the muscle love from Vince too

Lucha Ava Voom is looking good again this year from the intro post and I'm looking forward to actual shows especially remembering what you produced last time, cena vs Flair is obviously money but I must say I'm a little surprised that your feud between them is a rematch and not a fresh first time meeting

edit: got to read TBCs too (weirdly out of order but anyway) def like the tone / feel of your show and it suits the roster to a t. Think you write really well for Dynamite & Benoit in particular and really liked Sabus spiel about Detroit & his life as an American. Actually a little surprised it wasn't him that will face your all American Rampage but I do like how you have most of your card already booked and you should now have plenty of time to flesh out your stories.

Probaly didnt show as I have him as part of strike force with Santana

Mr.Nice Guy

Have my week 2 show up. Took me an age to write it. It's a long 'un but hopefully a good 'un. I make some references to things in the past. Feedback welcome.

I'll try and get round to give feedback to other shows in the next few days. My head be wrecked at the moment.

brianregan09

Are we allowed pick a celeb that has held a title?

Its not that long, it was a great read though. Great way to bring Punk back and interesting to see how Vader and the Sons of Liberty come back into it.

The Snuka angle is interesting and fascinating to see how Lawler has been put in that position with regards Snukas health problems.

brianregan09

Well looks like i can't pick David Arquette because he only wrestled 2 matchs I thought he would qualify as a former World Champion ...Oh well had a good idea for him and Bischoff in my head
