Bleurgh. I have no idea how to utilise my bonus pick. I'll probably be cornholing him into some form of backstage segment rather than properly featuring him I reckon.

NWO Sting isn't the biggest name I could have taken but he fits for storyline purposes so happy to get him now. Still struggling with ideas for one or two guys but I'm sure I'll get there eventually

It's funny how the bonus picks alter your thinking. My initial reaction to getting Sasha earlier, then Al Snow this round was "Ah FFS, what am I supposed to do with them."

But now I've a story planned for Sasha that I'm very happy with, and depending on my next pick I'll be completely changing one of my main feuds (for the better) to work Al Snow in.

So it looks like 2 picks I would never have made will turn out to add nice depth and variety to my roster.

Yeah, Beth Phoenix kinda solved one of my roster issues. The Berzerker on the other hand... still not a clue how to use him. It's not so much the pick, it's that I'm 90 per cent locked in on my feuds and I can't find a natural opening for him.

Cross promotional match - Berserker VS Boogeyman - NCW VS DPW :pac::pac::pac:

That's a draft winning formula anyways :pac::pac:

Anyone have ballpark figure on their amount of PPV matches. I generally got quite low four to five matches with managers being picked, three ways etc.

This year if I stick to plan I may have as much as seven feuds and matchups.

How many picks do we have left?

I currently have 8 planned but don't worry that does not mean you have too little just i'll try to put everyone on the roster in a match, that said like others im now struggling to change plans to find a spot for D-Lo usually I'd look to trade but I don't think i'd fair any better putting Beserker or Boogeyman into my current plans.

Ah I have something in mind for The Beserker... might not be match, but he'll be featured on the PPV card.

I have five matches down. Probably add one more with my last picks.

Necro

Yep, something like that :pac:

Have many started writing yet? I've pretty much everything roughly written out. But can't do anything as I need the next three picks to fill it out. Back ups etc I have obviously but the rough plan is there now up to and including the PPV.

Not put pen to paper but I know what the overarching story is, and know the basic gist of most of the matches. Waiting till I get everyone to start actually writing though.

I've planned out each segment on my opening show but not written it or anything else. I don't think I will be the only one using the opening

1 post that will be your company statement

to do a little bit more than list be a list of whose in the company and what belts I have. Gonna have to start a few feuds there if I maybe only have 2 other shows (as the PPV may be a 2 post show so 4 in total) to work with after that.

Yeah my company statement is basically just a year in review highlighting the big moments and the major players on the current roster. Have one show then and a two part PPV to take me to the 4 posts. Again all roughly planned, just need the final pieces.

That’s a brilliant stip beak.

It’s almost as great as the Edge & Christian podcast lately. Such an easy listen. Edge brings a lot to the table but Christian really is the MVP. The same could be said for their careers. He had a good run in terms of a singles star but Christian certainly deserved at least a three year run with the WWE title. He had/has it all. Pipers pit is always shown as the gold standard in talk-show segments but we all know the true box office smash is The Peep Show.

When you think about it, how stupid was Stephanie to go for Hunter when Christian was on the roster at the same time. The McMahon-Cage era would have p*ssed all over the yawn worthy McMahon-Hemsley era. Fast forward 15 odds years and NXT most definitely wouldn’t be the joke of a fed that it is today. Captain Charisma WWE COO? Shut up and take my f’n money..........

*shakes head* I digress. Does anyone know who’s up first in this round?

I might be in the market (trade-wise) for some wrestlecrap for a potential angle. Gonna see how the rest of this round plays out.

Broken Matt will be delighted to be reunited with Queen Rebecca. Not sure Alan Partridge will be too thrilled however due to her stance on owls.
