Greetings all, this is my first BTB in 4 years so be gentle with me.
My aim with this is to operate under strict rules, and to not just have my own way with my dream roster. I'll be sticking to what the WWE already have and trying to make the best of it. Please don't expect to see Samoa Joe or Ultimate Warrior on my show. I want to see if I can do something different and better than the WWE creative staff, if I had the same roster and restrictions that they do.
Also, please note that I will NOT be putting pages and pages of detail into match descritptions. The way I see things, the booker's job is to craft the angle and the storytelling, but the wrestler's job is to convey that physically in the ring. I understand that most people will react badly to thing and will no doubt leave comments advising me to add more detail to the matches, but this is not something I plan on doing. Thanks for reading and enjoy.
