100 pages, that may as well be a fucking novel.

My best match? Maybe the Elimination Chamber. I won an award for that.

I once read and reviewed a show that verged on 150 pages.

CMS, why won't it let you post you're show?

 

[THE Brian Kendrick's Biceps]

Apparently there's a character limit on posts. At least that's what y2j_legend told me. Seems quite frustrating, tbh.

Even if he breaks it up into parts?

Right now night two of the Chaos Cup is around 43 pages and I'm just one paragraph into the finals.

As far as favorite matches I've written well Jimmy Jacobs vs. Austin Aries for the BTB Match Writing Tournament immediately springs to mind. Chris Hero vs. Eddie Kingston was also really easy to write because they have so much history.

Pfrobs not if you break it into parts so yeah he''l prob do that.

My Judgment Day PPV a while back was about 50 pages, and my Clash of the Champions on was about 60. I think I've gotten a lot better since then too, so the first PPV I will be posting in my new thread will blow all of them out of the water.

Just generic big man action it had no chemistry just lock ups and big boots.

You had two of the most versatile big men and you wrote the match as generic big man action?

I, much like CMS, wrote my Great American Bash PPV all in one, and after I had coded it all I went to post it, but said that it was too big for one post, so I had to seperate it.

Speaking of my Great American Bash, the best match I have wrote (well at least in my opinion) and the favorite match I have written was the Tag Team Title Ladder match between Londrick and my UKonnection, where the competitors were Paul Burchill and DH Smith. My Wrestlemania main event between CM Punk and Mr. Kennedy is going really well also, the end of the match is written, and it ended up much more longer than expected at 1211 words, when I was thinking it would only take about one paragraph.

I don't really have a match which I have not liked to write, but I feel as though a match coming up for my Wrestlemania will be a real bitch to write, probably because thy won't be able to put on a good match even in real life.

I wanted to know, does anyone have a particular way that they write their shows? I don't mean full or recap, as in with me for my weekly shows I wrote my promo's first and then get to matches, but with my PPV's, I wrote the ending's to my matches, where I then complete the matches before I do the promo's. This is so I can get in a 'writing mood' and hopefully create better writing, and since my matches are better than my promo's, hopefully I can have my promos of also a better quality.

Hmm... I was thinking of doing a side BTB, a WWE one, while The Ripper finishes up with school. (We're still doing NWA-PWF, but its on hold for a week or so)

What's your guys' takes on Re-capped shows?

 

[THE Renegade Diesel]

Y2JLegend, I usually just plan the whole show out, keep the card of events at the top of the document, and then write it out. But the way I did my RTG ppv, was that I had a seperate document for MVP v. Jeff Hardy, and two promos, a seperate document for Shelley v. Sabin, and two promo's, and then the tag match, with one promo, and then a seperate document for the main event.

I always start with the easy matches to get into writing for a show, and start enjoying. I then push myself through the boring matches before getting to the promos, which I enjoy writing much more than the matches. Its weird, but I always write the shows like that.

As for my best match, its hard to say considering Ive written 13 shows in in different BTBs and never gotten to a PPV . I might think the 8 Man Gauntlet match in my latest Smackdown, but my Edge v Christian and Falls COunt Anywhere Chris Jericho v El Generico matches were really easy to write, and turned out good imo.

 

[CT Styles]

Do you guys think it's a competition to write the longest PPV? The longer it is, imo, the less people will review.

Just throwing in my opinion. I like to keep mine compact and well set-out so it's not the definition of bitch.

 

[THE Renegade Diesel]

CT Styles brings a good point, which everybody now says. It pretty much is about quality, not quantity, but this is where I try to disagree. For some, writing a two page match, does give good quality, but yes, ofcourse it isn't more appealling to newer writters, or just lazy readers. If you wrote like myself, CMS, or BKB, only hardcore BTB fans, and readers would really read you're shows.

 

[The Anigma]

I think the longer a pay-per-view is the less people will even bother to read it, let alone review it.

I never planned how long a pay-per-view would be. I would just type out the event as I imagine it happening and then if it's long, it's long and if it's short, it's short. But there's no reason to try and make your pay-per-view longer than it has to be just so you can say you had x amount of pages for your show.

I've always looked at quality over quantity.

 

[Axis]

The thing is, though, I have never read a match that is good writing. It is all action. If I'm going to use my time reading, I will read legitimate opinions or else literature. If I want wrestling, I will just watch it. The point of booking the shows is to...well...book them, not write out the match step by step. Let us know the story of the match, one or two cool spots that you envision, and move on.
