Just to say I've been working on all manner if things and had no idea it was my pick.

I should've checked, but I received no PM.

A Brad Maddox Guy

Pick up, can someone PM Mr K for me?

Really hope the pace can pick up somewhat, I've got 3/4 shows in the bag essentially but can't post anything until I make my final round picks.

beakerjoe

Same boat as myself

DM_7

Risky stuff gents, what if you miss out on who you need?

beakerjoe

I will need to re-write. with 2/3 ahead of me now I may be in luck but I have alternatives planned.

Feedback:

BradMaddoxGuy :

Firstly, I loved the little things about your writing, like calling your PPV “The showcase of Supermacey” and the fans wearing the Pillman shirts, I really liked that. Its little things like that that help build a better mental image IMO. I enjoyed Pillmans interaction with Maddox, Pillmans is a hoot to write for Id imagine especially with cowardly fodder like Maddox in the mix. Also enjoyed RVDs subtle care free character, and suits him well. Love me a good stable and LoC are a strong faction. ( I’ll take you to court over CHAOS though , lol :P ) Billy Graham could easily be a strong contender for pick of the year, I really enjoyed how you’ve portrayed him thus far with his Whiskey and I look forward to more of Superstar. Great match writing with Okada v Omega, which will soon be a reality in real life in the not to distant future. The Batista Miz segment reminded me of Jerichos return last year where the Miz arrived first, a segment which was really enjoyable. Batista was one guy I really wanted but you literally picked him before me (1 pick before me). Delighted to see him portrayed so well. Good stuff so far, you’ve clearly raised your standard from last year, and lets be honest, you had great write ups last year too.

Paulie21 :

Having Rikishi and his boys The Uso’s feud with The Rock is a novel idea and one that could go in many directions. Blackman Foley and Funk..... my god that’s a recipe for some blood filled feuds. Diesel/Nash is a great asshole and hes easy to visualise acting as you’ve written him, good job. You’ve laid the foundations for a great PPV on paper so far, I look forward to more Paulie.

Slickric :

Nice set up for your shows, and I’m really looking forward to how Mayweather and Hunter are portrayed. You’ve a strong roster so and from reading your previous work years back youre well skilled to do it justice.

PTH2009 :

Again, a nice set up for your main PPV and you’ve a strong roster to play with. I look forward to how all these big names can be used in the same fed. Good luck my friend.

MNG Show 2:

Firstly, love the jobber names. I may need to think outside the box with mine ha. The Finn /Edge/ Money Inc segment was excellent, Its really clever writing with Edge walking up the ramp and slowly making his way to the ring. Really had me guessing which direction you were going in. Who is the mystery woman has be intrigued, you’ve a skilful way of misdirecting the reader which must be commended. Axels character is another curious one and I look forward to where its heading and whos help he is seeking. Just joe is being used perfectly as Iishis story with DiBiase and Vader is a clever one, as was Hansens and Storms joining of forces. Nice surprise ending with Henandez and LAX. A great read as usual.

Stereomaniac :

I share MNGs words that Shieky Baby was your MVP. A solid show, with Big Show and Bret both being booked strong. Youve built a great platform so far and I look forward to more. Also love the Rio Tournies :pac:

I think I'd be ok as I could slot other people into the roles written but even though I am confident nobody will take my picks (one has never been picked before) im not 100% so would def like to find out before I write too much more.

Bounty Hunter

technically I guess either Slick or Mrk could go now right?

Even if he's late we usually let the person whos go it is pick once they get in before the person after them but it's been 24 hours so it's back to Slick and then it will be Mrk again cos now he's at the end of rd14s order.

ugh messy slow down

Imnotthehulk

First show up .. that's hard work! Hopefully it's an okay read. Sorry if its too long or disjointed.

SlickRic

My pick will be up at about 10pm.

SlickRic

Pick made.

Mrkiscool PM'd for catch up pick.

Just completed my week two show. Here it is in the one post for convenience (there are links to my previous shows in this post too):

Monday Night Grappling - Week 2 Show (With friends like these...)

It has some surprises in it. I also made a reference to a storyline from tbc's show last year though I tried to do it respectfully.

Feedback welcome. I will try to give feedback on the posts I've missed tomorrow. For now, sleep.

Wow what a great start MNG

loved the battle royal and surprise of Edge not being traded and now being the world champ, looking forward to more of his feud with Finn being built towards their title match

DM_7

Added another show. It took me days to do yet ended up a lot shorter than I thought once it was pasted into boards!

yay Rd14 finally over now I can post this (as celebs can no longer be drafted)... came so close to making this pick but changed my mind to accomodate plans for the wrestler I was given in Rd12. My shows might be a little bit less fun but having looked back over what I wrote before its probably better now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HalcSlxGhIg

Adam West

was going to have show 1 in Gotham city with guest GM Bruce Wayne and Batman investigating a reported threat of theft on the BWA title. A later show would have been in QUahog, Rhode Island and mayor West would have been the guest host


excerpt from the now never to air BWA Raw:

It turns out this dressing room is actually that of the BWE women and much to Batman's surprise he is now confronted by the sight of Nikki Bella from behind as she finishes putting on a very tight leather outfit.

Batman: aha Catwoman has returned to besmirch the name of our fair metropolis by pilfering the BWE title!
Nikki (turning around to face him): ha don't be silly Bat baby it's just me Nikki Bella, but what are you doing in the ladies dressing room while im getting changed, trying to sneek a peak are we?

Batman:Holy Strawberries... I've gotten myself in a Jam...Yes, I think I should be running along, Ms Bella. Uh, it wouldn't be proper for the two of us to be here alone in your dressing room without a chaperone."

Nikki Don't be silly you find me attractive don't you?
Batman: I'd find you much more attractive if you proved your on the right side of the law

Nikki: Well why don't you interrogate me then.
Batman: "I'll do everything I can to rehabilitate you."
Nikki: "In that case Marry me!"
Batman: Umm, Everything except that...A wife, no matter how beauteous or affectionate, would severely impair my crime-fighting.

Batman then quickly exits the room while Nikki Smiles to herself.

Pick made and PM sent.....

Only needed The Von Erichs. they have never been drafted without Kerry ever so I ran the risk of not picking them up earlier, but they will have a big part to play in my write ups.

David Flair is a nice bonus who I shall use in an angle or two

beakerjoe

Also a big thanks to Brad Maddox Guy for the links above. The Evaluation thread is a nightmare to load and these links make it easier to navigate. Its a great help.

Thanks to Brads post, Ive realised Ive missed a show or two, so ill give feedback on those Ive missed soon.

Have to delay my first preview show post as my image hosting site is down

beakerjoe

My preview show is up and feedback is welcome

Beyond Chaos - Year in Review/Season Preview

Hopefully all technical issues are sorted

Necro

Any sign of brian? Or will I just make my pick now seeing as 24 hrs is up?

Make your pick

Brian Pmd me saying he was thinking about dropping out because he really does not have the time at the moment and would not be able to produce shows.

I said to him why not just stick up a PPV card, nobody expects him to write up loads of TV but it'd be a shame to drop out at such a late stage. Hopefully he can at least vote when it comes to the time as obviously he has been involved in this over the past few months.

either way go ahead yourself Necro

Necro

Thanks. Pick made and PM sent. Hope they're still available rushing as at work!!!

Good stuff Brian. You've a great roster and you've been a fixture of the draft the last 2 years, so it be a shame for you not to at least post your card. If you need any help just ask.

Ive 2 tv shows written and 2 others laid out. My PPV is set up so far with seven matches and hopefully a few twists and turns on the way.

Really pleased with my roster but the quality of others is just amazing. I think this could be anyones year,esp with some strong write ups already posted.

Necro

I'm halfway through show 3 at the moment, just wanted to wait till my roster was finished to finish it off. Hope to get show 3 and maybe some of 4 done over the weekend, but sleep and Conor McGregor might get in my way...

beakerjoe

LeeJM :

Firstly I never heard that verison of Sandstorm, so that was a nice edition. Its a pity Jericho and Styles played out in real life on a mid card WWE level, as i believe it could be much bigger had these two met years ago. Loving The Seraphs and Mitchell, the seem like an ideal fit. I love how you've made Taz a big deal and him and AJ seems like it has plenty of milage in it going forward. Will AJ even turn up in your fed? I look forward to finding out.

Cheese :

Great preview/ roster overview. I love the term serial sellout, its something WWE could easily coin for him in the future. Buddy rogers appears to be given a featured role which is a surprise but a welcome one as he could. Im looking forward tio how you use O'Haire going forward, I feel his story will be worth the read. Also interested in how Steamboat is portayed, and will there be a steamboat/nature boy rivalry as weve seem with steamboat with the other niatch. Good stuff so far

Shagnasti :

One of my favs so far and its only early days, and if your previous work is anything to go by then this will be in the running to win come the end. The retro feel is what makes me like it so much as it stirs my childhood memories inside my little head. While its natural to see Hogan and Warrior and Vince in big roles, Swagger seems to be up there too which could be a potential under rated pick if used right (hope i didnt ruin anything by drafting Zeb, sorry i needed him Shag . ), but yeah I loved loved loved this intro

Still have a show by Necrominus and DM-7 and anyone Ive missed just hollor for feedback, to read so ill hopefully get to themin due time. Yay draft write up time:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Youve plenty of time over the next month. Im going to take a break from monday and hopefully let my creative juices flow. Might post my first TV show tomorrow though
