I bet Smark feels like Vince McMahon after the WCW buy-out

The name on the contract does read Smark, however it reads Blaine the Smark! That's right, I now own WWE Forums

Well... I for one can not wait to be part of the United JOW Smarks Association

Do we get some new BTBers out of the merge btw

Probably. Depends on how active their BTB section is.

 

[Death By Looch]

Someone from the double agents should know

 

[TOP GUY TIME]

Doesn't look like their BTB section is too active outside of a person or two

 

[Death By Looch]

Well, one or two people would already be a good addition to ours

I’ve been wanting to get into BTBs for a long time but never knew where to start

Easiest thing would be to just take some Wrestlers you want to use and start to book a small promotion. Write down some ideas for feuds you would love to see in real life and then work from there.

Going too big right from the get go will only turn you off from it, if you aren't sure about doing a BTB anyways.

This was my issue the first time I tried TEW lol I always went for big promotions and got overwhelmed with the amount of talent and other things you had to manage. Then I went small and you're able to focus on stuff until you get the hang of it so much easier and I love booking small promotions now

 

[TOP GUY TIME]

speaking of BTBs, probably gonna get a new Sim League Card done. Especially since we have a lot of new pals

Yea and in BTBs it's also way less time cosuming this way. Choose something like a 20-men roster and just write weekly shows which would be around 60-90 minutes long. (Round about 3 matches and 3-4 other segments per show) It's easy to really get into BTBs, if you can get into that creative zone mode and pump out couple of shows per month without writing on one show alone for weeks.
You also get that feeling of progress that way, which motivates more, imo.

That's why I made a WWE Velocity BTB once with a pretty tiny roster... the shows pretty much flew out of me and I wrote like maybe around 2-3 hours for one show.

One hour weekly shows are so much easier to book and are genuinely better most of the time both irl or in fanfic forms I've found I've experimented with a ton of different schedules on TEW but my least favorite to book are always two hour TV shows or...god forbid longer
