[Rog]

I will take Judge/Red please

[The B-Man]

I am writing the 8 man by the way:D

[The Doctor]

I'd like to write "me" vs The Assassin, please.

[Trash]

Hey everyone, just to let you know I'm not going to be around for a while, but I wrote episode 2 of Trash Talkin'
I emailed it to TGO for him to post this week sometime, so expect it either on or after Wednesday.
If its not up by Friday, then someone remind TGO, but I'm sure he wont forget.

Thanks,
-Tom

[Arkham]

I just posted a little tease towards the theme music changing, and towards tonights character for Retromark (which I was told earlier)

[Christof]

Nice intro Boyo, good to have you back on TWO.

Don't forget everyone Holt is the TWO King of the Ring, Sickness the ERE and Ultimate King of the Ring. I shall be referring to The Incredible as King Holt for a while, maybe even have a new TIH T Shirt

[Boyo]

Just posted my first e-fed work since ERE. It's basically a vicious, nasty, rotten attack on everyone involved in the ERE and TWOStars. Oh, and Boyo has a high opinion of himself.

:P

Cheers!

OK, I'll edit what I've written abot Sickness.

Cheers!

[The Doctor]

Yo! Christof! Le booking, si'il vous plait!

[MrFill]

Good to see you back, Mr Boyo - now go update your profile :P :D

[Boyo]

Cheers Mr F.

I'll do it tomorrow. Right now I have a nice bottle of Chianti to devour.

Oh, and some lima beans :brows

Cheers!

[The Doctor]

Know what I did to the last guy I saw quote a classic movie line incorrectly? I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. :D

[TGO]

Just done my return promo with big announcement

The newest member of Re-Evolution is ...............

Haha you will have to read the show

[Darkstar]

Great little promo TGO. keep it up buddy. :)

[Telf]

SWERVE! Outta the blue completely............ must read again to confirm.......... Gower in Re-Evoultion......... is that right?

I'm interested to find out what this mysterious main event will be....

[Colin]

Just done my return promo with big announcement

The newest member of Re-Evolution is ...............

Haha you will have to read the show

Tease

[Jimmy Redman]

You will just have to wait and see Telf :P

[Evil Gringo]

A little promo is up about the consequences of King Of The Ring and me and Sickness taking out C2K and D.C....

Hope you guys enjoy it...

[Christof]

Really good start to the week so far guys, nice that straight off the back of the PPV you have all gone for the jugular

[Christof]

Just for those who are writing involving Retromark this week, please ensure you check with Ravenmark who he is intending to mark. The marking every week is a key part of RM's character so please do not assume what the mark is going to be.

If RM isn't around please ask myself

To add to this following a chat with RM. Arkham should not be marking every week so as a booker I'd like to retain Arkham as being Arkham every week and building that character, allowing Retromark to mark every week to add to Arkham's "friends"

This starts from this week, any problems let me know

[Boyo]

Tomayto tomato :P.

Cheers!

[MrFill]

I've already spoken to Barry (who is writing this week's tag with RM & Arkham) - he knows what's the big guy is doing this week


And we still need a team name :P

[Christof]

It is Ravenmark that decides the Mark for the week though. So as long as Scotty has told Barry then I am happy. If it is the other way round then its the same to me and burying an opponent

[The B-Man]

I wanted to get the match started as soon as possible and sent Ravenmark a PM asking if he was ok with the mark I suggested

[Evil Gringo]

Well me and DC have just had a little altercation as well... damn the swine...

Hope that works for you guys... Christof, Darkstar? This ok?

Christof has just set the record for most usage of "Ark" in one post!

And The Establishment is finished, so I'm a singles wrestler with manager now :).

[Christof]

How many Ark's was it?

And I assume that means you've signed your TWOstars contract Mr 2K

[Telf]

The announcement has been made in the show thread

On a side note, I decided to alter Triple V's finisher "Circle of Trust" Instead of being a running firemans carry into an F5, it's now an F5 into a stunner.

But why you ask? Whilst STILL waiting for my copy of Tekken 5 to come, I played a bit of Tekken 4 and one of Bryan's grapple moves was an F5 into a stunner, and i liked it!

[MrFill]

Wouldn't that be a fireman's carry into a stunner?

The F5 part implies the impact of the move - like Chris' C2KO, it's a fireman's carry into a Cutter

Just thinking "aloud" :)

[TGO]

Just posted Trash Talkin for Trash ok



See I didnt forget :)

[Christof]

Trash Talkin proving to be a nice addition to the show

[The Doctor]

Match being written right now, peeps, after some scribbling during dull patches at work.

[The B-Man]

Also enjoyed the Trash Talking Segment. Good Work:)

[Boyo]

Trash Talkin' was a good little read but he's no longer "one half of the tag team champions" any more.

Cheers!

[Christof]

good point, I knew there was something I forgot to edit

[Jimmy Redman]

Liked Trash Talkin heaps. And good stuff Vinnie, I liked the "keeps on moshing" thing. Cheers. I just realised I havent been promoing recently, will fix when I get home.

[The B-Man]

A few quick notes.

Firstly to Banner - I am personally not a fan of you bolding stuff and making stuff different colours, I find it hard to read most of it when it changes every couple sentances. I don't mind the announcers name being bold but not a big fan of it.

Secondly again to banner - C2K has posted when your match isn't finished, obviously you will have to edit it now, I am not sure if that was the plan to begin with or not but in future if you are going to split it like that, posting right after would be advised otherwise it just holds the show up.

Hope that was helpful and in no way offensive to you.

Thanks




Barry

[MrFill]

I have to agree with Barry on this - the match is really hard to read like that

Also, I'm not a fan of breaking matches up midway through - if you're going to do it in 2 posts, then they HAVE to be done one after the other, not stopping mid-way to finish writing, which means that everybody else has to wait for you

Saying that, Chris should have asked if you was posting immediately after :P :D

[The Doctor]

I dunno, you try to bring a little colour into people's lives and this is the thanks you get! :lol

I've edited out all the colour, okay chaps? Looks dull as dishwater to me now, but hey.

Yup, the plan was to simply break up the match into two posts to keep it easy on the eye, but I spent too long faffing with my prose and Chris2K beat me to it! What can I say? Rookie mistake! :dumb Didn't think anyone would still be up and a-posting in the middle of the night.

Edited my post now and I quite like it, actually.

Anyone care to say what they thought of the actual match itself?

I dunno, you guys probably read a book and think "it would be better in Times New Roman font and not Tahoma!" :P

[ps] Mr Fill - re your sig: If you can't spell the simplest English words like "are", "you", "anyone" and others, please don't bother replying to my posts - it's annoying to try and decipher your gibberish - thank you I take issue with your spelling of the words colour, aluminium, etc! :lol

(I'm really only having a laugh, BTW guys, I am not the kind of person to take offense at constructive criticism and feedback. :xyx)

BTW, do you know that I'm actually a Brit, but I married a Yank, so we're living here now :)

I actually "speak" both English and American, so I spell Colour with or without the U :D

[The Doctor]

No I did not. Do now though! :D

[Christof]

Sorry Brett you've been away a while - no code within matches please unless its for a highlights package etc. I'll give it a read, edit the ordering of posts etc later

[Chris2K]

I just posted because I was bored. I was aware that Brett's match was half done, but I presumed he was going to edit it in.

[The Doctor]

Sorry Brett you've been away a while - no code within matches please unless its for a highlights package etc. I'll give it a read, edit the ordering of posts etc later
No code left except the announcers' names in bold now, since like I said I edited out the colour.

I edited the post so it contains the entire match and think it works fine as is, to be honest, so wouldn't have seen a need to change it.

Not sure if it matters, but my view is the announcers' names in bold helps break up the page a little. I personally find an entire page of simple black and white text highlighted and divided in no way whatsoever very tiring on the eyes and a chore to read.

Pick up any book, magazine, newspaper or comic and you'll see how common it is the liven the text up a little with italics, bold text, etc. Using it sparingly seems sound advice, which I heeded straight away. But stripping the posts down to such bare basics I find odd, overly spartan, dull, and quite frankly it hurts my eyes, I must confess.

But take the bold out as well if you must. :roll

Now, peeps, a genuine request - the actual match please - how does that read? I'd like to know as it was my first and I'd like to make my matches enjoyable to read. Any comments? :)

[The B-Man]

Ok Brett I have now read the match, I thought it was an enjoyable little read except for one small thing. That is the use of Banner a lot of times throughtout the match, mainly too close together, is there nothing else you can refere to yourself as?

Thanks




Barry

Barry

I don't know, if you toss out too many nicknames it ends up looking like a tag match.

[MrFill]

A few uses of aliases can be a good thing - read the ERE Championship match at KotR and you'll see how often we use aliases for each other

It's better to use a variety of names for a character than to keep on repeating one name over and over

You want to try to keep the match interesting, so mixing it up a little keeps people reading :)

[The Doctor]

I noticed that myself, actually. How about Banner's opponent? Did I vary the names I referred to him by enough?

[edit] See - I can learn from criticism! I've gone back in and mixed up some "Brett"s, "The Brutal One"s, "the Brute"s and the old reliable "he" along with all the "Banner"s.

I'm learning! Cheers for your feedback! :xyx

[Telf]

I've just put a quickie up before the cage match. Opinions would be welcome with open arms if there is enough there to warrant one

Just returning to the topic of using bold etc in matches and promo's. When the fed started up again, at first i was using bold and even colour for speech names and then went into just using bold. Darkie said that it was more difficult to read, but I agree with Brett that it breaks up text and makes it a lot easier to read - just my opinion on the subject at hand

Thank God it's not just me then! :D I was starting to feel like I was a bit peculiar! :lol

Damn right there's enough! Intelligently written, to the point and very poetic. Respect is due. :xyx

[Christof]

Good show so far this week folks. Nice match Paulrog, although I would say you made Omega Red look too good but thats not a problem.

Now its my turn to write, he he he

[Jimmy Redman]

rambling, raving, song-lyric-ing promo = posted :)

I now realise it was a load of bollocks, I was very tired last night, and I suppose that's what came out. Meh.

[Christof]

I know its late but my match will be up soon

[Christof]

Ok the match is up, not really that long but it got the point across

Dominator is now officially retired through injury

[Ravenmark]

Nice little squash there, Christof.

Puts KIH over really well as a 'Monster'.

Good work.

[The B-Man]

Ok the 4 on 4 is up. Not to happy with the last few bits as I was rushed for time in the end, with other things cropping up during the week. Hope it does the job though.

[Telf]

Apologies to Baz for jumping in there with the reserved post, i just needed that spot to reply to Christof's to add some more fuel to fire of Redman and Triple V heading into the cage match

[MrFill]

Nice "ouch" ending on the 4 vs 4, but you got the Insanity Unleashed wrong - it's the Train Wreck from a crusifix powerbomb position, so he drops to his knees, their back on the shoulder

Think starting with a Razor's Edge, then pushing the opponent sideways so that the small of the back is on the shoulder :)

[Jimmy Redman]

Ok, main event is up. Once again, feedback and constructive criticism are not only welcome, but fallen upon with cries of joy :)

[Telf]

Good match JR, did seem to be a little short and maybe the actual match ending could have been a little more dramatic. But you certainly succeeded in unleashing Triple V's sadistic nature; it's given me a good basis to take him back to old school. Good use of the environment also, especially at the begininng of the match
