Alright, I announced it around two months ago now and much like WWE: An Age of Evolution, I've done nothing with it. Well I have now decided to get this thing out there. So guys, who loves a bit of genericness?!

Let's start it off with the generic member-by-member rant. Mine, however will just be a select few. They may possibly be the same as last time regarding the comments or completely new.

The Anigma: I don't think he's been that active lately. Saw the new BTB RWC (for memory, 'Radical Wrestling Coalition'?) I hated the name, tbh. Like mostly everyone here, overrated. Made out to be godly, etc. you're a great booker but overrated. You have great storylines and your promos are pretty damn good as well as matches but they're not as good as people seem to make out and practically masturbate over.

xtremebadass: People criticize his moderating when it's fine. It's the BTB section BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN A CURRENT BTB TO MOD THE SECTION AS WELL AS BE LOGGED IN 24/7 WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SLIP UP. xba's been my BTB idol as I find his one of the most realistic BTB's I've ever read.

DX_3:16/Scotty_Goldman/Ninja*Star/Evil Austin: The fact I remember all your names shows you leave an impression on me, not necessarily a positive one though. I've never been a fan of your booking, I find it to have so many holes, be illogical and in some places stupid. 15-1-0 for 'Taker?

y2j__legend: I love your shows and booking. You're one of my favorites of all time. That is all. :)

CMS/The Rated R CMStar: Overrated and your matches are like essays. People just look at the side of your thread and see you have replies in the hundreds and therefore regard you as a legend.

That was just a select few that I thought I'd express my opinions about.

The Section
The section has numerous holes and negatives but they're definitely overruled by more positives. The positives are the amount of members that post here consistent, whereas at other sites this section is dead. I'll concentrate on of the negatives I see too much from here. People's ignorance towards REAL talent. Just because someone has replies in the hundreds and views in the thousands doesn't make them a legend! The cocksucking towards people like CMS, Levi and Anigma etc. is amazing. Whereas people like y2j__legend is being ignored and he's definitely up there with them, possibly even further! And I have a question. Why is this site so obsessed with length and size?! The size of matches has to be a fucking essay, the length of time your BTB's been running. It's almost a sin to not have a BTB be yearlong and if you have a BTB that runs for a year it doesn't matter whether it's pure shit or pure gold it'll be regarded as legendary. So can I ask, why is IWF BTB Section so obsessed with size and length? Why?


My BTB 'Career' I Suppose You Could Call It
I think I've done rather good here, gotten recognition, people know who I am, respect my opinion, read my shows, review etc. Where I'm at currently? Well I'm contemplating retiring or taking a long break. I'm leaning more towards the latter option.

This will have more added to it with Part 2/a 2.0 Version.

Really? Wow, thanks man, that is really a huge compliment.

Anyway, it was a good read, and I look forward to you editing this in the future and provide more of your personal insight. Unfortunate to see that WWE: An Age of Evolution is on a hiatus, as I like the thread. Come back please, the section benefits from you :y:. Hopefully you come back and post your Mania, because I was looking forward to HBK vs. HHH and Priceless vs. Rock and Austin.

That's what's really keeping me here, 'Mania.

I'm considering posting that and skipping the shows leading up to it.

Maybe you should semi recap the lead up shows to it, therefore we could get a good understanding of the lead up events to Mania, and then post Mania after that. Just a thought.

That's what I was going to do, most likely.

Long break plz. I'd hate to see you leave. Along with BKB, Pat, Comic and Levi, (sometimes Cristian) you are one of the only BTBers that I like to review and I will without having to be asked.

I agree with your opinions mostly. CMS and Anigma are overrated imo as well, while Levi can be underrated, as he is probably the best (or in the top 3) current bookers out there now.

Yeah, nice little short read for now. I hope part two goes more off into the other members, and I personally like it because you express the opinon's rather than suck the "legends' " dicks.

I've always liked you're booking, well since the last BTB, which I really got into it. I was saddened the other day when I discovered that you hadn't made any updates in the longest. Semi-recap, and then get to 'Mania ftw. That was going extremely well for you, and it seemed you had tremendous chemistry with the storylines you had set out.

I'm on with the majority of people who ignore y2j__Legend. He seems like he's talented I just can't get into the BTB when ever I try. For me its awfully difficult to do that once the BTB is midway into things. I'll update myself every now, and then to see the 'Mania card which has Kennedy v. Punk which should be extraordinary. Anyways, sorry y2j, maybe I'll try to get into you're writing, but honestly, I can doubt it until after Wrestlemania at least. I'll definitley give the pay per view a look, and more than likely try to read it.

The size, and length love comes from the forerunner's of the section thinking that long matches like CMS's, or Anigma's (at the time his were really long) giving them a positive nudge. So everyone else did the same, and that was set as the foundation for a "good btb". I myself was one of the booker's who decided to give a five essay match, but as you can tell by my next BTB, that's not the case at all anymore. Recapping ftw. It fits what a lazy booker wants. Especially the way I'm doing it imo.

Overall, I'm on point with you're comments, but quite frankly I know you're not leaving BTB. You're going to take a leave of absense, then make an oh so epic return, and pwn everyone. Have part II up soon buddy.

Seeing how most of the people concur Anigma and I are overrated and our latest shows got few reviews, I truly fail to see the cocksucking you are talking about.

Also, I don't think y2j legend is underrated. Again, how can you be underrated when everybody agrees you are the best or one of the best?

Well atleast I am not just imagining the criticizers. Thank you for the support CT Styles.

Wait...who says Anigma and CMS are overrated? WTF When did this happen?

Anigma and CMS deliver. They aren't, were never, and will never be overrated.

I beg to differ. I guess you should see it like this XBA:

BTB started off with short shows, and then they got longer. The longer show's became the alpha BTB's of the section, and dominated. Hence, CMS, and Anigma. No doubt the two have talent, its just that they give to much beef, and not enough finese imo. I love BTW, but honestly, I found myself not having a life when trying to read a show. Long show's are out, and everyone's starting to realize it, but still we have the people who think CMS, and Anigma are gods. As said before, they are greats, but not as much as they are made out to be. I loved you're RAW because it provided readable shows, and I can go through it in less than an half an hour.

Hmmm, well some bookers like to do their BTB's differently I guess, and if long matches floats their boat, well all the power to them. CMS got a bunch of replies with BTW back in the day even with his current style of booking, I guess things changed somewhere.

When I started Raw I wanted a short BTB but with all the elements altogether to make it seem like a very complex and complete BTB. My aim is to minimize while keeping everything there. Plan out big spots in a match and fill in the middle with maybe 1-3 sentences of action. You know, suplex...punch here...kick there...spinebuster...punch here...kick here...throw into stairs...back into the ring...kick here...chokeslam...BAM! You're done lol.

Truth is I don't think most bookers pay attention to the actual action in the match anyway except for the memorable or remotely memorable meaningful spots whether it be extreme or finishers or partial promo-ish action in the match. Everything else is always time filler or time waster.
