My BTB Thinking
I have been thinking about the BTB section a fair bit lately, so I thought I would share my thoughts.
Bookers: My thoughts on the Bookers of IWF
CMS: He is a great booker, and has a sense of humour which you notice in the chat room. When reading his shows everything seems so carefully layed out, like he is almost always thinking about the future.
The Anigma: This is the guy who truly inspired me to begin BTB writing. He is just a great writer, and it is hard to believe that a thread can go for so long. His thread, Ask Anigma, I think shows that he is willing to give out thoughts and help out the younger bookers.
Levi: Levi is just a great guy. Funny as and great to talk to. all of the time. Also runs HEW, which has recently had an awesome Six Pack Challenge storyline, which has inspired me. A great mod at the same time.
XBA: How I wish I could write a promo like him. When I need inspiration, I just look at one of his promos. Unfortunately, mine are still terrible. Oh well.
Switchy: I have just started talking to Switch, and he seems like a nice guy. I really hope that his BTB that he is currently doing (WWE: Era of 08), succeeds. It would be great to see him successfully running his own BTB.
Headfirst for Hardcore: I know I should review his BTB (Pro Wrestling PRIDE) a lot more often, as it is a great show, and reminds me a lot like Dragon Gate with the stable set up. A great booker. I will try to remember to review your next show.
DX Degenerate: I don’t think he knows how good he is. The future of IWF BTB with someone else who I will mention later. I hope UWF is a success story. I think it will be.
GardsJr: And the other half of the future of IWF BTB would be this individual. I am looking forward to NWF, seeing what Gards can produce with it. Knowing Gards, it will be good.
Dylanfsd: Not a bad writer, but I really wish that Dylan would stick to one BTB.
wwerko619: Made a great efed for us in NCW. Nice guy to talk to as well.
sharkboy3:16: Sharky may have the potential to be very good if he continues at it. He is always improving. A nice guy.
xImpulsive: Another one, who if he sticks with his BTB, could be awesome. I promise to try to review for you more often.
moiversion1: I have looked at his WWE After the Limo Explosion BTB before, and it isn’t bad. For a French guy on an English speaking website he does quite a good job.
DX_3:16: Not bad, but he has many flaws in his booking. Books too many pointless gimmick matches imo, and needs to make his writing more consistent. No lack in confidence though.
TJ: TJ can write some very good shows, and I think his BTB with xtremehighflyer has great potential.
xtremehighflyer: I haven’t seen much of his work, but he looks to be quite a good booker. I look forward to seeing his future work.
C4: Not a bad writer, and puts in a hell of a lot for the BTB section. I don’t think people realises how much he does. I am grateful.
horza: I have only seen a small amount of his work, but he seems very talented.
The Small Show: I respect him, because although people bashed his BTB (it was bad), he continues to try, and is improving. If he keeps trying he could turn out a great booker.
Me: I think I have a hell of a long way to go, and hope that I can keep EGO going for as long as possible.
Andrew~Walker and Weebo: I know Andrew hates it when him and Weebo are together, because they are separate people, but this needs to be together. I am so grateful for the opportunity they gave me to write Anarchy, and they continue to teach me now. Both nice guys and great BTB writers. Thank you.
My thoughts on reviews.
I have definitely noticed an improvement in reviews, and I hope this can continue to happen. I applaud everyone who does do proper reviews.
What makes me love the BTB section:
The fact that you can be totally creative and out there. After all, that is what writing a BTB is about. Great fun
Thanks for reading.
