I didn't pansy out, I can just saw flaws in the show and the delay/work threw me off a bit.

Virgin is down and typing from my phone, what I had written isn't transferable to my phone and I'm not even attempting to cobble a show on my phone, its taken me 4 minutes to write this.

How old have you suddenly become?!

Dude, I was joking and you know it.

Apologies Gregers, your injury has now been added.

Originally, we had Zeb Coulter has your injury, but as he's an in-active wrestler I had to double check with Tooze to see what I should do. Everything's sorted now  

House Of Ishida – Another solid show from Ishida but once again I felt that H.O.I/H.I.S lacked that killer bite, the thing that kept the reader interested in the feuds and storylines. As someone stated last week it was very paint by numbers booking, relying too much almost on who the wrestler was and not the character that Ishida had given them.


T.W.A.T – Another strong show from Chris, er, sorry, Dolphin that once again had me laughing but it felt like the jokes might already be losing some of their impact, that being said certain jokes such as the 'Jonathon, good...' one showed a real smartness behind the humour. I won't be marking off points for using just singles matches this time as it's something that Chris gave a valid reason and steering away from the screwy finishes has also helped with the overall feel of the shows. Overally T.W.A.T has produced two enjoyable shows, I just hope that the joke doesn't wear off too soon.



nXtreme – nXtreme once again showing why Gregers has done so well over the past few seasons, a really strong show following up from last week's that helps carry on the premise of the show. The only real negative feedback is that with Hero's show having a similar premise nXtreme has lost some of it's impact, I'd also say that there doesn't seem to be much long term feuds built yet but it could be a slow build.

TWA – While the show continued to be strong from last week I felt as if this weeks show was a bit too packed, the segments were all very long and I think Thunder needs to work out a balance of quantity and quality, I suggest that paraphrasing the segments would help as we only really need an idea of what is going on. Overall though a very strong show with great storylines going forward.



Hero – Once again another strong show, Hero has done well to minimise the risk of people not knowing members of his roster with the format he's gone for and it's worked really well, my only negative comment is that I feel that he started so strongly last week that he may come unstuck and even though the shows are still going strong they may have less of an impact. Overall another great show from the favourite at the moment in my eyes.

NGPW – NGPW continues with another strong show and one that feels like Enigma took on the feedback from last week and added in some small but effective changes. I felt there was more work put in to building the personalities of the wrestlers and building towards the future shows.





MWF – It feels like Tooze took on some of the feedback he received and really worked on not only keeping the matches strong but making sure the segments between them really helped the show, this weeks show was very strong and it got me excited for the upcoming weeks

XPW – Once again an impressive show but one was over too quickly for me, it felt too streamlined and I would have liked a bit more content in between matches. The matches for me were the highlight of XPW, each one was well structured and gave both opponents time to shine, the main event itself was really good and Calihan's entrance in to the main event has set up the next few weeks with an interesting feud.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nxtreme v TWA( i can't really call this...it is matches v story...and to me...the john cena with vince thing...kinda called it as soon as vince left yet...the other stories told bolster it up. NXTreme puts on great matches as well and the stories are entertaining but this is still a close call

Hero v NGPW ( Victory by dildo...XD *reads further* oh god Hero you are making me laugh my ass off!. Ok...now that I have read both shows without laughing I can say that both have similar bases and both know how to leave cliffhangers but Hero's experience has the edge here.

MWF v XPW ( both very experienced here but imo the way tooze sets the show up and works it out is much better this week than fernando, )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EGW Vs HIS
EGW Feedback: It’s nice to see attention dedicated to the whole card with storylines progressing throughout the show. The El Generico/ Colt Cabana storlyline has me intrigued to see where this is going. The build-up of Russo’s client came across really well too and again leaves questions into next week’s show. However, there were far too many segments which made the show drag towards the end with far too much Jim Cornette! Although the Backstage Fallout is a good idea, it’s skippable because of the length and would be best suited to a weekly podcast idea.

HIS Feedback: I honestly feel that this show felt a little flat compared to last week’s. The lack of Eddie Guerreo, The Undertaker & Triple H hurt the overall tone. While the “package” idea seemed good, I don’t think it was relieved as to what was in it so that was confusing. Apart from that, I’m really enjoying the character and push of Wagner and Steiner was hilarious as ever!

XPW Vs MWF

XPW Feedback: Talented stacked card again! The idea and writing behind Callihan winning the title was booked brilliantly so I can’t wait to see where this goes. While the matches are well written, I feel the overall show could improve with segments to really hype each storyline and character.

MWF Feedback: Really enjoyed reading this show with the woman’s match and the Ricochet/Tozawa match personal highlights! The seeds are starting to show with some good storyline progression but felt that with more backstage segments it would help get the angles across more. I would have liked to see more of a verity of how titles were won instead of having 3 tournaments but that’s just a minor note.

nXtreme Vs TWA
nXtreme Feedback: Another consistent show from Gregers this week. The opening segment was excellent in setting up the first match with the continuation of the push of the Pacific Islands something to really get behind! While the show was good, it’s very hard to separate the shows as TWA had the more appealing overall card.

TWA Feedback: Thunder continued from where he left off with another high quality show. I’m really behind the push of Wade Barrett so I’m looking forward to seeing what that goes. I always enjoy the beat the clock gimmick which put together some interesting parings. Now, even with the edited segments, they’re still far too long where I find myself skipping some of them. The formatting was also really strange this week but part from that the action made a great show!

EGW - Felt a little too long and you can feel your favouritism for certain acts coming over far too strong in your writing.


Hoisin Duck - Need to be using the pools of money at your disposal because your show lacks the excitement of others due to your roster. There are still some big WWE names, names from your beloved WCW and even some ECW guys that would help bump up the quality and add name value. I think it would help, inspires peoples imaginations a bit more and stars sell.


Hero - Felt a little bit like you were relying on me remembering loads of information that I was never going to have remembered, and the feuds are so multi man that some of the impact gets a bit lost.


MWF v XPW - I was the only who went with XPW and I think it must be because I looked at two similar quality shows but really enjoyed the use of names by XPW in comparison, just felt the booking had a better edge to it and something id have enjoyed in a slightly more simplistic form.


I cant remember who had the Cena thing but I kind of hated it a lot, the thing with the commentators mocking Vince's choice n such, dunno, in a tightly held vote it swung me against that show

Dont worry (Viper?) I will never stop the puns, that is the beauty of a pun, when they are funny they are funny and when they arent funny they are even more enjoyable because people hate them. Nothing is as great as puns.

Although everything was too rushed this week, the jokes lost concentration

Any update on the CF replacement?

not unless you've changed your mind and now want in.

Also you have choice between mine/cf's roster if want it

I feel bad because i really wanted to join, but in the last 2 weeks i have had an incredible amount of increase in work and tennis commitments, and as seen last season it takes me a while to get shows up, so i would be probably annoying everyone if i took on the role lol!

Also great shows again this week lads, one person's i wasn't very impressed with though. Special mention to tooze, that show was my particular favorite.

Is that the deadline officially over for submitting shows? If so will vote tonight

Yeah get voting, I will post mine up but I appreciate I've missed the cut off point.

Just read the feed back and will try to shorten my segments. No promises though, as Chris and Viper can attest to with my EWF promo's I'm very wordy.

WWA Announcement

After discussing at length with Tooze & Fernando, we've agreed that for every week you hand shows & votes in on time, you'll each be rewarded £2.5m each! So with this rule now in affect, you can all add £5 Million to your budgets.

With Foreign Transfer's window being open this week, now would be a good chance to pick up a cheap signing, whether that's through Foreign's or by picking up a free agent!

Lastly, Don't forget to post your questions for Fernando on this week's spotlight podcast. Thank You.

Wow what an awesome bombshell. Will add later when I return from work but, before I head off, quick question. I was thinking of have a three stages of hell, would I be limited to 10 bullet points or would that be extended considering it is technically three matches?

I think we've come across this question before...

Honestly if it's for a PPV main event, as long as it's not over 30 bullet points I can't see it being a problem for a match. With PPV's I'm sure you get unlimited amount of matches but I'd have to double check with Tooze on that one. I think it's also extended on the number of bullet points with PPV matches increasing to 15, but I may have made that up. I'll check see what Tooze & Fernando say

If it's for a regular show, it's technically three matches for roughly 30 Bullet Points

Can someone work out my budget? Think its 5 million + how much i got for the podcast thing

You got 15m for podcast because you answered 8 or more
So with the 5m voting bonus you have 20m on top of anything from your current budget

Cheers mate

Does anyone fancy lending me £15m until next week once I've done my WWA Spotlight?

I can lead you some but, the interest would be a bitch

If you can lend me £15m I'd give you back a bit extra as a thank you as I have a guy in mind who I want and he finishes off the roster 100% for me...I could probably give you over £20m back by the end of next week.

This deal is open to anyone btw.

Offers are up for this week

I've done as much as I can of my show now and just have the main event to do but I'm knackered and heading to bed so it'll be up in the morning.

Am I right in thinking that votes need to be in by Friday like last week? Will hopefully vote tonight....are we still waiting for any shows to be posted?

Yeah by Friday and only Hero's main event

So, when are foreign transfers getting replied to?

Just remembered Ive got female wrestlers. Gone nearly two weeks without even acknowledging them

Are you attempting to base T.W.A.T on WWE? haha
I did the honourable thing...I got rid of all of them.

Sexist pigs XD

I had a plan but its not as interesting as I once hoped. Originally, I had a plan of using women's wrestling as my main attraction and having a roster with only about 5 men. They would feud sometimes, but with no real logic or continuity. It would mainly be based on how they felt about women, causing stress between them. The feuds wouldnt be based on whether the wrestlers suited each other, or even if they could wrestle, just on the basis of they were the people there at the time so I guess they should fight.

It was a choice between the single joke running the whole time or the dirty pun.

We've got another blooming show to do by this weekend havent we?

indeed 

Can I accept an offer from WWE after I post this weeks show with the person involved?

Aye you can accept them until new ones are up

Wahoo!

Show up btw lads, had to get it done today as I'm in Essex at the weekend and wouldn't have been on in time to post my show, can't wait to read the shows on Monday though.

Should Chris Beniot be inducted into the hall of fame?

Too many tabs open?

Are we behind on votes this week? Or was deadline tonight?

deadline is midnight 

Deadline is midnight

Did I vote yet Nando? I deleted all my inbox, outbox, sendbox stuff cos of this damn TV Cup.

nope

Oh bloody hell

Did you get mine Nando? I'm 99% sure I sent them but just checking...also Chris, did I get any of my choices for the TV Cup?

Results day! What sort of time are we looking at? I predict Thunder has won this week but hopefully it's close and not a complete white wash!

Will be this evening I would imagine, unless nando or enigma do them while I'm out for the day.

my show for week 4 is up

Results which i think are correct  
 

NGPW 1-6 MWF - Votes by Thunder/Viper/Fernando/Hero/Gregers/Uryu/Mrs Whiskerson

House Of Ishida 1-6 Hero - Votes by Thunder/Enigma/Viper/Tooze/Fernando/Gregers/Mrs Whiskerson

TWA 4-3 EGW - Votes by Enigma/Tooze/Fernando/Hero/Gregers/Uryu/Mrs Whiskerson

T.W.A.T 3-4 Nxtreme - Votes by Thunder/Enigma/Viper/Tooze/Fernando/Hero/Uryu

Please can I have at least some deduction on my score and if possible a draw/loss awarded, it's not fair to Uryu who did get his show in on time to lose to someone who was late despite extensions added.

TBH winning like that will SUCK, I wanna win by effort and skill, not technicalities
