X-Power: I'm gonna say Spiralshock. He can write decent matches and promos and they can be better than decent at times and he also has a pretty good BTB. I mean he isn't an amazing booker but he could soon be and not that many people give him the credit he deserves.

DX_3:16 :p: It would definately be ECW: Best of Both. Nah, I wasn't as good at writing as I am now but I still enojyed writing it as my mind was full of ideas, I was pushing guys who I couldn't push easily in WWE or TNA BTB's and I also enjoyed having the extreme rules matches every week as well so it's Best of Both by far...

Andrew: Nobody really sticks out who would fit as the writer of Riots and instead of looking for bigger writers, I would actually choose a writer who has talent but hasn't really been noticed and sorta give him his big break while giving Riots a good writer at the same time...

When you do BTB's do you prefer to start a new BTB from the begining of the year around the January Royal Rumble and build up to Wrestlemania OR start from after Wrestlemania and do a Long build up till the next Wrestlemania?.

Another question is if you could change one thing about your BTB stay in the forums what would it be like what is something you did that you now wish you didn't do like a regret or quiting a BTB or somehting you did before and now you wish you didn't do?

For me it would be having about four WAW We Are Wrestling threads because when I would take time off I was a new booker and I didn't know about just not posting in the thread for a while and then continue on and I would make a totally new thread so its like all over the place WAW is.

I am all for starting the night after Wrestlemania because even though I haven't had a long running BTB, I think it would be great writing as you get closer to WM and doing the road to WM and everything after a hard year of work would really pay off after all the effort.

As for what I would change I would have definately stuck with ECW: Best of Both because I enjoyed writing that BTB more than all the others and actually wanted to write it whereas some other BTB's have seemed like chores to me and I think I may have lasted a while with that BTB if I never quit over the fact I couldn't be fucked to write a Benoit Memorial Show.

What dream matches/feuds have you always wanted to write?

How would you turn/sustain a face turn with the following guys:
Mr. Perfect
MVP
Edge
Randy Orton

Have you seen my work as a booker, and if so, what do you think?

-HBK-: I've always wanted to do my own versions of some of the classic old X-Division feuds. I've seen some of the matches in the Joe/Daniels/AJ era of the X-Division and was amazed by them and I always wanted to do my own versions of those matches just to see how well I could do.

I wasn't really into wrestling as much as I am now back in the days of Mr Perfect and therfore don't have that much knowledge on him but what I would do is just perhaps bring him back as like an veteran face after a return from injury or something and then just have him in the role Chris Benoit used to play.

MVP is quite different though, unless you are really creative it may involve a slight gimmick change to get him over as a good face. I am actually quite stuck for ideas because I think MVP's face turn would end up like Orton's did a few years ago but if I would turn him face I would still make him like Flair where he still uses some dirty tactic's to get by.

Edge seems quite hard to turn face but if you put some thought into it you can do it quite easily. One way is to have Edge turn face in a feud against a monster heel and have them in a big feud to sustain his face turn or another way is to have him team with another heel (perhaps Orton in Rated RKO) and then have his partner turn on him after a losing streak and then have them feud with eachother.

Randy Orton is fairly easy to turn face imo. One way is the tag team idea I said with Edge or another one which I think would work well with Orton is to have the heel GM continuously try and stack the odds against him but have Orton win week after week until the GM forms a stable to take out Orton, turning him face in the process and perhaps setting up a survivor series feud with Orton building a face team against the GM's heels.


X-Power: You are an average booker. Nothing more, nothing less. Your matches are quite good, they aren't long and descriptive but they are still good, realistic and to the point but they could do with more desriptive language so it's like you can actually vision the match better. You are fairly creative and have a few good feuds going but your promo's need some work I must say. You seem to have the length of your promo's right but the lines you get some of your superstars to say they probably wouldn't say in real life but you will still improve in due time.

Here's a simple, but fun question. Can you give me a rant on these five booker's? Basically, tell me your thoughts on them. Pros, and Cons please.

Comicgeekly, WCW Rules, Spiralshock, GardsJr., and myself.

Diesel:
Comicgeekelly: Good booker, has some pretty good strylines what I am into and what I also like is that he/she seems to be in control of their BTB more than I have ever seen with any of the bookers on this site.

On the other hand, even the storylines are good as is the quality, sometimes I struggle to see the point of the writing unless it has real description and I know quality > quantity and everything but if you increase the quantity with useful description it pays off in the longrun.

WCW Rules: I haven't seen any of his booking, all I know about him is that he has a mind of his own when it comes to his opinion on certain subjects which is what I like about him because some bookers don't seem to have minds of their own and go by whatever the mods say and just agree with all of their words.

SpiralShock: This guy is so underrated I can't desrcibe it. I mean he can write awesome matches and his promos ain't half bad either and like half the BTB section knows who he is. WTF's up with that?

He has no real cons apart from his "fan base" which he can't help. As long as he sticks with his BTB he should be on the road to success quickly though...

GardsJr: He is me when I started BTB. So many huge plans but not really willing to stick with a BTB when another big paln comes along and because of that his true talent has yet to have been discovered but I think if Gards can find a BTB he can stick with, he'll be a name to remember in this section.

Diesel: You my friend have a great amount of match writing skills but your promo's are rubbish in comparison. Don't mean to be harsh on you but they need a lot of working on and over your next few shows I would put a lot more work into the promos and take a little less focus off the matches because once you master your promos it will make you a far better booker.

-TJ-: Got lost in the post? Nah, but on the real I'll have it to you in like a day or two.

Beer: Your promo's remind me of my own to an extent (which can be good or bad, you decide) and you do seem to know what you are doing in terms of how you book and everything so that's a good thing but your matches on the other hand need work on them. Your matches are a couple of punches and/or kicks, a couple of slams and a finisher, you can't be having that if you wanna be a top match writer. You got the basics in deseription but you need more stuff to describe. I can't really give you advice how to, you just do gradually and you will get better in time.

Tbh, I haven't been to most peoples BTB in 2 months, maybe there's an odd exception but dw mate, things are gonna change. I'll be back here in BTB full-time again soon and I'll be catching up with quite a lot of BTB's so expect to see a review from me sometime soon.
