Hey now everyone. Yes, we're still active. Albeit at a snail's pace but we're still here nonetheless. I guess the main point of this thread is to pretty much address an issue that's been apparent since I joined the ranks - we need more participation and volunteers. We need more help with the writing. I really wanted to take this show off but since no one volunteered to write a match, I volunteered to do it because no way am I leaving all the work to guys like Thunder , Devilkiller or hazarrd . It's really not fair to us. Putting a show together can be a bit overwhelming and when it's up to just TWO people to write 3-4 matches on top of segments and formatting and structuring the show - it's A LOT of work which results in what happened with Do or Die and even worse, Throwdown where the show is already a month behind, completely throwing off the schedule for future shows. I understand life happens and it prevents A LOT of us from writing sometimes but still, it's a bit too much for me and here's where we are as a result. Now, I'm not upset or anything, just overwhelmed. We're in a new year so all I ask from everyone is to volunteer and participate going forward. It will help the shows go up much quicker that way and we can make this place much more active than it has been these past few months. That is all.

I'll never understand why every match on the card needs such a huge write up anyway to be honest. Save that for big shows and main events.
Summaries are your friend and make this ship a lot easier to steer.
I for one hate writing matches so don't expect any help from me on that front lol.

Yeah I thought we were still on the idea if someone wrote the natch, cool, but if not summaries would happen.

Didn't take too long into my tenure as owner for me to realize that most people only skim matches anyway (I even did a poll that backs that up) so why not make it easy on everyone? The main event can get a full write up but under card matches can be a page or two at most. Highlight some of the above and beyond holy sh*t moves and specific happenings that move a character's story forward but skip the endless paragraph after paragraph of back and forth wrestling moves, crowd chants, referee counts, etc. EDIT: Just wanted to add that I'v written a ton of matches over the past three years and quite frankly I'm burnt out on it. If the match doesn't involve Frank Lynn then i'm not very likely to volunteer to write anything. Segments are fun to write though so you can count on me to get them done - when the holidays and/or family health issues don't get in the way.

Noted.
I guess it's just participation that I want from everyone but since we're on the same page then summaries it is.
Yeah, I'll feel like crap for not putting as much effort into it but I only have so much energy to write and right now, Billy is my main focus.
