I know you're not necessarily posting in here right now but I finally got up to date and read Shotgun. About time I give you some comments.
Continuing to enjoy the reign of terror of Mike Awesome. I can't wait until he destroys Rocky so badly that he's out injured for a few months, before coming back as a heel.
Pillman running riot is always fun. I'm hoping we get another Pillman/Austin showdown at some point.
Being an attitude era child means I love Road Dogg and Billy Gunn forming in here. I expect them to come out on top of this feud with the other mediocre teams involved.
Finally, a few notes. I would LOVE for you to do something with Sunny other than random ring announcing. Understand she recently had the big blow off with Sable, but she's to fun not to utilise more well she's still around.
And finally, the gang wars stuff between DOA/Los Boricuas/NOD was AWFUL in real life. People talk about how good 97/98 was because of the rise of Austin, Bret heel turn, and birth of DX/Attitude, BUT the mid card stunk. Badly. Hoping you find a way to make this somewhat bearable.
Anyway shotgun is shotgun, not much else to say. I'll continue to follow The Pandemic Project to, but hoping this isn't the end of this one due to the timeframe being more of one I'm a fan of.

Glad to see this is continuing mate. Love the full time addition of Taka, and marked out for the Val Venis mention as well. Let's go!
I am enjoying the character shift of of Shawn Michaels as he continues to lean further towards a heel alignment. It feels like not helping Austin (their drama in the opening segment and main event was good btw), was the perfect way to get Shawn booed in his hometown. Which again, in itself, feels like another big step in the character shift. Really well worked throughout the night.
I don't have a lot to say on the Taker stuff because it's closely following real life. Which whilst I've been critical of this method on the past, I'm not sure in relation to this scenario, how you're supposed to fix perfection.
Anyway, the one criticism I potentially have with Shawn and Taker having such personal, character altering journeys happening, it kind of feels like their first time match is the secondary/back up story. Which is a shame because the first time these two are meeting should be felt like a huge deal.
Bret/Austin is the opposite. You've managed to keep this feud hot for so long. Keeping Austin busy with the rest of The Hart Foundation worked on this show.
No Mike Awesome on this show made me.sad lol.
Other things I enjoyed were the more serious side of Goldust, because it felt like a logical reaction. And I LOVE the use of Scorpio as the new member of the nation. Shedding his slave name is awesome.
I am still really worried we are going to get DOA/Boriquas and based off how boring/taxing that was to follow in real life, I'm hoping you find something to give it a spark.
Also seems a copy and pasting error here as the attack on Crush and the Mero/Sable bit appeared twice on this show.
Finally, Mero was at his most enjoyable to watch as the jealous BF to Sable. He played the role perfectly. Looking forward to seeing how you put your own spin on things.
Another solid episode of raw here. Can't wait for Summerslam.
