Sometimes helping write matches for other companies in the alliance that my characters would be a part of

 

[Hoss]

Shit was crazy

 

[Smart Marx]

I always viewed BTBs like I’m Russo or whomever writing the format. It’s most gonna be what the segments are, how we’re driving the angles, what the matches are and the finishes if they’re important.

I do like to write out full segments, though.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Did you get screwed out of a lot of matches because the owners were friends? That always pissed me off, I should have won a lot more titles and tryin' to talk the owners afterwards was just like they were tryin' to troll me. You expect me to keep RPin' after that? Fuck that, I'll just write my character off hilarious for the people who are still readin' and move on

I do too generally but now I'm just so cautious of burnout that I've altered my style

In my prime I was running like eight characters at once, RPing for all of them every week PLUS acting as the promoter for one of the companies that was part of this larger e-fed alliance

You’re a champ. I usually have 6 or more characters to fill a roster, but I could never RP for them all.

I think everyone in e-feds has felt that way at some point. But yeah. In that e-fed I definitely always felt like I coulda achieved a lot more but since so many of the members had been around longer than me and were good friends, I got the impression they were looking out for each other.

 

[Hoss]

May or may not have been the case in reality. But e-feds just like real wrestling tend to be cliquey and political, so to speak.

I feel that. Hence why I don’t write full matches unless it’s important to do so.

My first BTB I wrote out everything and it took two weeks a show and I was doing Raw and SmackDown at the time. So like a month for a single week.

Yeah, one of the main things that kills my interest in running a BTB is if I feel like I'm not making enough progress too.

Bully here when he got an e-fed here was the worse. He brought in all his friends and nobody who was on this site originally won. I did get into a feud with Ben who was the owner at the time(before all these mergers). He said it was the best feud he ever had an e-fed his character Eric Snow and my character Bobby Beach. He was even like we should have exchanged the midcard title back and forth but Bully just let him win all our matches because Ben owned the site. It was total trash but we had a lot of fun writin' against each other

I was just addicted to it. This place had the numbers, there was probably like 100 or so active members across 8-10 different promotions. I was just like 13 or 14 at the time and would write shit like crazy.

I guess in the end at least you had fun

Exactly. I got almost two months in and felt defeated.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

It was fun, I would always get drunk and blast Beach Boys music while writin' those promos despite the politics
