WWF remembered my idea for Goldust

What's REALLY Amazing is that I was like an INCH from putting Goldust instead of Foley. It seemed more thematically appropriate for your brand. I never thought you'd actually go through with the Cash In so suddenly because there had really been no build for it or mention of the case for a while. I'll post the Post-Mania Nitro shortly, I was hoping for a chance to talk to Skunkrocker before it went up but I haven't seen him

Never thought of Goldust as IRL Foley. By the way, there were always the idea of Goldust cashing in here, that's concrete. What WASN'T concrete was what the briefcase meant. I'll explain much later, since revealing it all would be spoilers. And to all non-WWF writers, some things are going to be very interesting very soon, for both companies.

Well, I wouldn't put Goldust as equivalent to Foley right now, though given the kind of Face characters that worked for him in real life I think he could certainly fit that slot. Ironically I'd say his biggest IRL Counterpart right now is Edge circa '05-'06. The way he talks and acts, his ring psychology, his general character, and his methods for generating heel heat are the kind that would make Internet smarks love him but would make the kind of smarks that go to shows boo him out of the building. Just like Edge during the lead up to the original MITB cash in. Regarding the cash in, I guess the thing that was weird to me isn't that you did the cash in without any direct build to it happening, because it being a surprise is why it worked the first time IRL, it's more than Goldust event HAVING the case was mostly forgotten since he won it. It was very rare for him to mention it at all, or threaten to use it, or whatever.

Sorry about the confusion. All backstage incidents go in the Announcements tab from here on out, for all three companies. And yes, Nitro has been ready to post for a while now. If you need to give it a last once-over, do so and post it please.

Trying out some advanced formatting for increased readability. It always bugs me that match results stick out so much more than promos, so I'm going to see if some headings help!

I'm not a big fan of the format change tbh. I enjoy reading the recaps as though they were a real-time recounting of the show. The chapter headings especially seem out of place.

I think they're a step in the right direction. That was one of the first WCW writeups I could actually get through the first time around.

Welcome to Prograps Unlimited, Issue 40! Good morning marks! Wrestlemania 13 is past us and already we've had an enormous week in news. Here's what we have to offer: Ratings Update: RAW down to 3.37 (-0.06), Nitro up to 3.64 (+0.13). As we reported yesterday morning, Wrestlemania earned a 3.40 buyrate. Extreme Revival: ECW has recently announced the return of Hardcore TV, but it is still unknown what role head owner and booker Paul Heyman will have on the show. As of now, it is possible that Heyman could be used as a manager, authority figure, or commentator; but of course, all this could change at any time. Mex Express: There was an altercation backstage at this week's Nitro taping when Lex Luger tried to pick a fight with Psicosis. The cause is unknown, but the argument was broken up before any physicality started. They Can All Kiss My rear end: In preparation for the Hardcore TV relaunch, ECW has cut Amish Roadkill, Black Boy, CW Anderson, and Gedo from their roster. Trust Him: Jake "The Snake" Roberts has been hired as the head booker of QPW, an upstart promotion out of Quebec. He has already made several hires for QPW, including veteran Tully Blanchard and 17-year-old rookie Teddy Hart (of the legendary Hart dynasty). He Still Sucks: David Schreck, who we recently reported as being hired by WCW, was said to have been wandering around backstage at the most recent Nitro show. Arena personnel were able to help him back to the locker room and reported that he was "lost and scared". ---------- Check in every week for the biggest news in the Monday Night War!

By the way, I'm moving, so I won't have good enough net access for the most part to get in the chatroom, so someone PM me when GCW has a show. I wanna kinda take charge of developmental.

I'm pretty certain that we have no control over our developmental territories whatsoever I mean, aside from signing / cutting / elevating

Your development territories in TEW are totally independent of you other than the people you send to them.

Raw, Nitro and the B-shows will run in 24 hours. I'm posting a reminder because WWF and WCW both have some work left to do on their shows. The WCW writer's room has been pretty empty as of late, so I'm sure they'd appreciate some new writers joining up. Happyman fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Sep 16, 2014 |

Sorry, I've been swamped with an unusual number of school projects over the last week or so. I'll write up my portions tonight. I'm gunshy on booking Saturday night because I'm not super familiar with how to maintain heat on guys in TEW and I don't want to kill anybody. But I'll add some stuff. I'll be hanging out in IRC, I guess. Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Sep 16, 2014 |

You're not going to bury anybody for life on a B-show. I'm pretty sure they don't contribute to popularity.

Writeups should be done by now, right? What's the holdup?
|
# ? Sep 20, 2014 09:26 |

We've had ours done for days but Happyman said not to post it until after WCW and WWF since our show airs later in the game week.
|
# ? Sep 20, 2014 09:42 |

Pretty sure ours was done by the deadline but I felt like a more senior writer should throw the show together. I guess it doesn't really matter, does it? If it's not up tomorrow I'll post it.

WCW's writeup has been a bit slow to come together, but I don't know if it's any specific reason. Probably just a bit of trouble getting back into the swing of things after the whole thread transition drama. It should be up tomorrow.

It doesn't help that one of our biggest writers quit, and I don't have time to write.

I think it would be better in a way if you kept the TV writeups simple and more like how a real live report would look, and only went long for PPV. It'd help with the pacing.

But WCW shows are so big and grandiose that they're like little mini free PPV events.
