Is this your first ever recapped show, Para? That sucks Anyway, solid opening to the show with Edge coming out to run his mouth off until RVD interrupts. I can't help but feel that feuds are starting to pair off a bit more in the Main Event scene a bit more. Previously I would have said that Christian Cage and Samoa Joe were the next favourites after Benoit's removal to get the shot at Edge. However, Joe, Christian and Jericho have been so into their own thing that it has allowed Van Dam to now become the central challenger, and this kind of promo only confirms that it will be Edge/RVD III at Redemption. I can't really see any other options.

@ Billy Kidman making his debut in EPW only to get crushed by Austin Aries in under six minutes. That's with interference from Jamie Noble against Aries too. You are developing a very strong Cruiserweight division though, Para, something I am very jealous of. You've chosen wisely with the guys you've brought in, although I think it's time Noble starts calling himself James Gibson, then we'll know he is at his ROH best

The Punk/Hassan rivalry is probably the only clear feud you have going right now, and it is quite a good one. Another quick hype from Punk, but this is definately the most hotly anticipated bout at Redemption for me.

I'm not the biggest fan of these hype promos, especially if there are too many of them. I can make time for American Dragon though. I expect a strong showing from him at Redemption, although I can see him getting pipped to the belt by Aries.

I remember you saying about a month ago that Lesnar's squashes were going to end? I guess not then A Brock squash is better than nothing though. Lol @ how Cabana has gone from beating Hassan at Out Of Exile to a glorified jobber. Lesnar starts to bitch on Cage? Could we see that feud start up again? I honestly don't know. Brock is completely and utterly directionless right now in this thread.

Wow, a pretty wierd statement from Heyman there. So let me get this straight, in order to get a title shot, Joe has to fightb every single one of his matches under Extreme Rules? Joe is a fully fledged face now? When the hell did Heyman turn heel? I think those are both things that require clarification.

I'm glad you chose to showcase your tag team division next. The Dudleys are so stale it's not even funny so I'm glad they didn't win. LAX and the WGTT are both amazing teams so seeing them go at it once again makes everything look okay. Juvy and Psicosis are both solid two. By the looks of things, maybe a four-way at Redemption? Would be truly awesome.

Oh, brilliant Generation Next are in EPW. I may have slightly preferred the Motor City Machine Guns, but these guys are phenomenal too, and that explains why they helped Aries out a few weeks back. Your tag team division just got A LOT better, Para

So Hassan and Daivari have to face Generation Next in their debut next week? Oh, that means that Daivari can get the ever loving crap chopped out of him by Strong. Shelley and Roddy to maul them plz.

Wow, I certainly had Samoa Joe pegged down as the winner of the next match, especially with the big run he's been taking at the World title. Jericho didn't even have to cost him the match. If anything he tries to help Joe, and CC still put Joe down. Mixed feelings about that, but at least it looks as though Cage/Jericho is in the works. The most entertaining guys on the roster going at it? It gets the thumbs up from yours truly.

Overall it was a very short read, but that was to be expected with it being a recap of a one-hour show. Still good though, with the CW division heating up nicely, and the WGTT and Generation Next throwing their hats in the tag division

Thanks for the reviews so far guys. Much appreciated. Just want to touch on a few things.

This rivalry will be going on for some time. I've got some HUGE plans for it which I think are very innovative and effective. The match at Redemption won't be long due to the fact that the Card is going to end up pretty stacked. There will be a match down the track that will go 20mins +. I can assure you.

That's all going to change on the next show. The feud I've been building Brock up for, for the past few weeks is about to kick off. CHEAP PLUG~!

Heyman is still face. Joe is still a heel. Heyman is probably going to come over a bit as a heel, but he won't be a full blown heel. He's still going to be a face but instead of a Heel Boss making a Face Talent's life hell, it'll be a face boss, making a heel talent's life hell. Something different I'm trying. I'm pretty high on that angle tbh. That'll pan out a little more on the next show, too.

Haha. I know you <3 the MCMG but I am a BIG fan of Roddy Strong. Not so much Alex Shelly. I'm also a fan of Chris Sabin, he's someone I'll probably utilise down the track. Having said that it wouldn't make much sense to have Strong and Sabin helping out Aries, so I went for Strong and Shelly since it makes more sense.

Patience

Generatation Next originated from Ring of Honour. The stable also featured Matt Sydal and Jack Evans, but neither of them will be involved in this thread.

Great promo for heels Haasan and Davari. Nice way to promote the tag team match next week. They were very in character and believable. Looking forward to the tag team match.

I've actually thought long and hard about Chris Hero. I love the concept of his character from what I've seen of it. I enjoy his matches as well but unfortunately I don't think I know enough of him to use him. I like to know a decent amount about the wrestlers that I use. Trust me, if by chance I see more of Chris Hero, he'll definitely be making an arrival in this thread.

Again, thanks for the comments boys. More a welcomed and appreciated.

Solid show to start the show with Edge running his mouth like only Edge can until RVD comes out. RVD’s speech was lame would rather see him throwing swear words left right and centre instead of doing the lame surfer boy speech. RVD/Edge seems to be on the cards again.

Lol at Kidman losing to Aries in under six minutes on his debut. Kidman sucks. Moving on good aftermath with Noble making Aries his bitch, and then Aries accomplices making the save.

Typical CM Punk interview that you see in present day WWE doing a hypejob on Hassan. Don’t know too much about Punk and Hassan’s feud as I have only read one show, and can’t remember much from that show tbh lol.

Good Danielson promo and he is in good position to defend his title, but I expect Aries to take the title of him.

Another Brock Lesnar squash is fun to see. Just as Lesnar says, HE IS UNSTOPPABLE! Lesnar speaking out on Cage is a relief as that could keep Lesnar away from killing jobbers, and go back to feuding with Christian.

Good to see Heyman bringing a bit of extreme to EPW. Very interesting stipulation and should lead to a lot of good matches.

Decent tag match and explosive aftermath. Looks like you will be building up for a four way title match at the next PPV, which could be pretty damn awesome despite The Dudleys being in the match.

Don’t know too much about Generation next, but heard good things about them from ROH so is a good stable addition to the show. Look forward to the tag match next week, and despite Hassan being higher up in the card I expect him and Davairi to lose to Generation next.

Great main event and great ending with Christian brushing Jericho’s appearance aside and beating Joe. Not so sure on Joe getting the clean win as I was sure he was on a push to get a future title shot, I would of rather seen Jericho accidently hit Joe allowing Christian to get the win. Cage/Jericho feud on the card is good news as they are by far the most entertaining people on the roster and can produce some great promos.

Overall very good recap, looked to be a very good show and I am liking the fact that you are giving time for all the title divisions on the show. Good stuff and look forward to your next show.

So, it's not dead huh? I told you all it'd be back and here we are. As always, my biggest problem is TIME. I have none of it, so posts may be few and far between. Almost two months to the day since I posted my last show, I'm going to post the next one right now. I'm not sure how I'm going to go with returning feedback, I will get to it, I assure you but I don't know how promptly they will be.

For a while I will be just posting recaps, EXCEPT PPVs which will be posted in FULL! I have fallen victim to forward planning, I want to write stuff that I've got planned down the track more then I want to write some of the stuff I'm writing at the moment.

I've got a few shows ready to go so they'll probably be posted pretty regularly for the next month or two. Anyways, no more talk.


RECAP - 23rd May 2007

Enslaved by the Motley Crue blares out and around the Hammerstein Ballroom as Joey Styles and Kevin Nash welcome us to the show and gives us a run down of the agenda for the evening and put over the fact that this is the first time Ensalved has been broadcast from outside the Hammerstein Ballroom as we are coming from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan!

Paul Heyman opens the show to a huge ovation and immediately he focuses on the Number One Contendership status, he says last week we saw Christian Cage take on Samoa Joe one on one but quite frankly neither of them impressed him enough to be granted Number One Contender status particularly since the major turning point in the match was delivered by someone not even involved in it – Chris Jericho… but he’s not the Number One Contender either. He says that two weeks ago we witnessed a match of the year contender between Edge and Rob Van Dam (Huge pop for RVD) in an Extreme Rules encounter. He says that even though RVD lost he has the desire to see the two face off again, he’s giving Van Dam a second chance and officially naming him the Number One Contender to the World Title at Redemption. Naturally the crowd pops huge until Edge’s music hits and the World Champion struts out to a raucous reception. Edge doesn’t have any time for small talk and immediately gets straight to the point. He says it’s bullshit that RVD gets another chance at Redemption because he beat him fair and square two weeks ago. He says that he beat him at his OWN game he beat him in Extreme Rules therefore he shouldn’t have to step into the ring again with him under any circumstances. Heyman acknowledges the fact that he did indeed beat Rob two weeks ago and very impressively at that but none the less he is setting the match in stone for Redemption. Edge looks pissed off but Heyman continues saying that this time though, the match type will be a little more suited for Edge! It will be a TLC MATCH! The crowd pops huge as Heyman continues while Edge actually looks slightly happier, Heyman then says it’s actually a TLC match that he’s not so familiar with… Tables… Ladders… IN A CAGE! He tells us in order to win the match Edge must climb a ladder to retrieve the Title which will be hanging from the top of the cage but before he can even think about taking that title, he MUST put RVD through a table! Rob Van Dam then makes his way out to the top of the aisle, mic in hand and thanks Heyman for the second chance before letting Edge know that he won’t make the same mistakes again and that this time he guarantees that the next EPW Champion will be none other than ROB-VAN-DAM!

- COMMERCIAL -

In our opening match for the evening we have our Number One Contenders Triple Threat Tag Match between The Dudley Boyz, The Worlds Greatest Tag Team and Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis. In a solid match that mainly features TWGTT and Juvi & Psicosis, the encounter is contested at a frenetic pace, with The Worlds Greatest Tag Team looking the strongest as Haas and Benjamin manage to tag in and out regularly, controlling the match. The Dudleyz finally find their way into the match as Bubba makes a blind tag to Juventud Guerrera before using his strength advantage to dominate Charlie Haas. With Haas and Bubba brawling back and forth in the ring, the EPW Tag Team Champions – The Latin American Exchange make their way down to the ring to a big Mixed Reaction from the fans. Konnan, Homicide and Hernandez stroll down the aisle arrogantly before the three of them rush Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis from behind. Juvi & Psi’ weren’t aware of the LAX’s arrival as Homicide pulls Guerrera down off the apron while Hernandez does the same to Psicosis. Homicide nails a few hard right hands to the unsuspecting Guerrera before he hooks his arms and nails THE GRINGO KILLA!! The crowd pops for the move when suddenly Hernandez nails THE BORDER TOSS TO PSICOSIS, LANDING HIM ON THE GUARD RAIL AT RINGSIDE!! The crowd cheer on the LAX for some reason when the referee calls the match a No Contest @ 8:20. After the match Konnan gets on the microphone and warns all three teams that if they think any one of them is taking their titles, they’ve got another thing coming. He then reminds us that LAX is a Revolution and you can stop a Revolution but you can’t stop a revolution. Orale! Orale! Ariba La Raza!

The camera then heads to the back where we see Christy Hemme standing by with BROCK LESNAR. Christy talks about how Brock has been unstoppable since his loss to Christian Cage at Out of Exile. Brock says that Christian’s win was nothing but a fluke and over the past few weeks he’s proved that by running over all of his opponents convincingly. Brock then goes on to say that this week he doesn’t have a match on Enslaved but instead Colt Cabana has asked for a rematch that will be seen on EPW’s Online Oblivion this week. Brock promises to destroy Colt, he says that he can ask for all the rematches in the world because he’s never going to stop the most dominant force in EPW. Lesnar walks off camera before we go to a commercial.

- COMMERCIAL -

We return from commercial and Samoa Joe’s music hits as the Samoan Submission Machine makes his way out to the ring dressed in street clothes, microphone in hand. As soon as Joe climbs into the ring he immediately begins to talk, he says he knows that he lost to Christian Cage last week but it wasn’t because he wasn’t good enough… it was because Chris Jericho screwed him over yet again. Joe says last week Paul Heyman told him to impress him in order to be granted the number one contendership, and obviously due to the loss he didn’t do that but he’s also told me that from now on all my matches will have an Extreme-type stipulation. Clearly upset, Joe calls out Heyman he says he wants to know what’s next, he wants to know what he has in store for him. Heyman then appears on the big screen in the Ballroom to a big pop and after a little chuckle Heyman tells Joe that it’s now not only his matches that will have an Extreme feel about them… but his opponents will too! He says he hasn’t quite decided who or what will lie in his way at Redemption but he says it WON’T be an EPW Championship match! He then says as for tonight though, he needs a Main Event and Joe needs an opponent, so he then goes to say that tonight Samoa Joe is in the Main Event and if he wants to know who his opponent is, all he need do… is turn around. With that said, Samoa Joe turns into a HUGE SINGAPORE CANE SHOT FROM THE SANDMAN!!!! The fans mark out like bitches as The Sandman plants Joe with a huge Cane shot. Heyman then tells Joe that in accordance with his announcement from two weeks ago… tonight we will see Samoa Joe take on THE SANDMAN in a SINGAPORE CANE ON A POLE MATCH! The crowd go nuts for the announcement as Joe rolls out of the ring holding his head and Sandman climbs atop a turnbuckle and holds the Singapore Cane high in the air.

- COMMERCIAL -

We return from commercial and we have our second match for the evening and what is the second of the four Cruiserweight showcase matches. It’s Bryan Danielson taking on Sonjay Dutt! The match gets given a decent about of time as we see Sonjay show off a lot of his high flying moves. Eventually though he tries one too many as he went for the arm-twist ropewalk Hurricanrana, but Danielson used his free arm and held on to the rope, causing Sonjay to fall straight to the canvas and this error spells the end for him. Dutt got straight back to his feet following the error but he was met by a ROARING ELBOW from Bryan Danielson. Danielson stalks Sonjay until he gets back up to his feet only to get planted again, this time courtesy of a DRAGON SUPLEX! With Dutt down, Danielson locks in the Cattle Mutilation and it’s purely academic from there as Sonjay taps out at 6:32

Following the match the camera heads backstage to see Maria about to interview Austin Aries. Aries says he specifically requested this interview time because he knew that Bryan Danielson was only just finishing up with his match and that he’d be able to speak his mind without being jumped from behind by some coward. Aries says he is sick of Danielson’s cheap attacks, he knows that this thing between them is about more than just the Cruiserweight Championship so he’s putting their little problem on hold for the next few weeks until he wins the Cruiserweight Title and if he feels the need to try another sneak attack, then he’ll have the whole of Generation Next to deal with. Aries promises Danielson that after Redemption, he’ll have his undivided attention.

- COMMERCIAL -

We return from commercial and we’ve got the debut of the duo of Roderick Strong and Alex Shelly as they take on Muhammad Hassan and Daivari. In a shortish match Hassan controls the new faces with some heel tactics and his obvious strength advantage. Hassan eventually hit the Blue Thunder Back Breaker on Roderick Strong before immediately locking in the Camel Clutch only to be met surprisingly with a SHINING WIZARD from Alex Shelly, to break the hold. The crowd pops huge as Hassan struggles for the tag to Daivari while Shelly tries to will on Strong to make the tag to him as well. Eventually Hassan tags in Daivari and he charges the ring, halting Strong’s crusade to tag in Daivari when suddenly CM PUNK appears at the top of the aisle with a microphone in hand to a huge pop. Naturally this immediately gets both Hassan and Daivari’s attention so Strong takes full advantage of the situation as he turns Daivari back to face him and after a kick to the gut he nails the GIBSON DRIVER! Daivari’s body is a limp mess after the Sit-out Double Underhook Powerbomb as Strong makes the cover and picks up the victory @ 4:50

Strong and Shelly celebrate as Daivari rolls out of the ring and Hassan is naturally irate all the while Punk continues down the aisle, applauding the victory for Strong and Shelly. When he gets close to the ring, Punk finally talks. Staring up at Hassan, who is now inside the ring by himself. He says that all he’s hearing from Hassan is that he’s sending all these message to him as a preview of what’s going to happen in their match at Redemption. Punk climbs the ring steps and gets in the ring before continuing and saying that all Hassan’s talk is all well and good but all he’s seen him and Daivari do recently is lose matches and beat people down like the cowards that they are. Hassan just stares Punk in the face as he continues, the Champion starts to give Hassan his usual spiel about his addiction being Competition etc when suddenly a not so flash looking Daivari comes back into the ring from behind CM Punk with a chair in hand and proceeds to blast him over the back of the head to huge heat and to further emphasise the Champions point from earlier.. Hassan laughs at Punk laid out on the floor as Daivari stomps the fuck out of him before Hassan picks up a microphone. Hassan says he doesn’t care how he does it, but he’s going to take that Pacific Championship from Punk and at this stage it certainly looks as if he’s going to do it as well because every time they’ve in the ring together recently, he and Daivari have got the better of him. Hassan finishes by saying that when everything is said and done at Redemption, Punk just like everyone else in Chicago will have no choice but to bow to the Great Muhammad Hassan! The fans boo the fuck out of Hassan as we go to commercial.

- COMMERCIAL -

We return from commercial and we get a replay of the events before the break with Hassan and Punk before we head backstage and we see Christian Cage standing in front of a camera. Cage talks about how good it was to get back in the winners circle last week and defeat Samoa Joe. He then calls Jericho a jackass for trying to cost him the victory but ultimately only helping him win. He then goes on to remind Jericho that “I’m Captain Charisma, you silly Bastard”. Christian goes on to say that since Jericho has done nothing lately but try and cost him a victory at any given time whether it be in World Title matches, Number 1 Contender matches or one on one matches against the guy he couldn’t beat, Samoa Joe then surely he’d want to face off against him at Redemption to find out once and for all who the better man is. Suddenly Chris Jericho walks into shot to a big mixed reaction but he doesn’t have much to say as he looks Christian in the eyes and just says “Captain Charisma?” and has a bit of a smug chuckle and walks off. Christian looks confused as we head back out to the arena for our Main Event.

Paul Heyman is again out on commentary for Samoa Joe’s match as he has clearly taken an interest in them of late. After the epic “Enter Sandman” by Metallica entrance for The Sandman, the match, as expected ends up being pretty slow and short for a Main Event. Joe pretty much kills Sandman with his power but eventually The Sandman gets his hands on a Singapore Cane since Joe apparently forgot they were legal in this one. The Hardcore Icon manages to get weaken Joe after several brutal Cane shots before he even nails the WHITE RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP with the help of the Singapore Cane! The crowd pops huge as Sandman drops the Cane and heads up to the top rope and he flies off looking to finish him off with the ROLLING ROCK… but JOE MOVES! The Sandman crashes and burns as Joe gets back to his feat steadily before he makes the most of the situation and picks up the Sandman from the canvas before nailing the MUSCLE BUSTER! Joe hooks the leg and gets the clean win over ECW Legend @ 6:34

Joe has no time to celebrate as Heyman immediately climbs up on the apron with a microphone and gets his attention. Heyman tells Joe that he was very impressed with Joe’s performance but it was just the beginning of what he has in store for him, he then continues by saying as for Joe’s opponent at Redemption… all he need to do is turn around to find out who it is. Joe immediately turns into a humongous GORE FROM RHINO! Heyman quickly enters the ring with Joe down on the canvas and says “Joe, at Redemption it will be you taking on the last ever REAL ECW Champion, Detroit’s OWN… RHINO! And in order to keep up with the Stipulation set for your matches… that particular encounter will be EXTREME RULES! The crowd pops huge as Rhinos stand atop a turnbuckle punching his chest and we go off the air.

It's done. EPW is finished.

Without getting into things to much, last night my Computer crashed. Fried the whole fucking HDD. I lost EVERYTHING. Months and Months of planning. Gone. I don't have the motivation nor the intention to start again with it. This is just murphies law because only two or three days ago I was debating whether I should post the next four shows because they were all written and ready to go, but alas, life goes on. Before I completely end this thread. I'm going to post some (what I remember) of the results of the next few PPV's and the culminations of a few storylines.

Redemption

Edge def. Rob Van Dam in a TLC Match for the EPW World Championship
RVD was injured and not seen for a while after.

CM Punk def. Muhammad Hassan for the Pacific Championship
Punk pinned Hassan after he copped an accidental Chair Shot from Daivari

LAX def. The Dudleyz, TWGTT & Juventud Guerrera/ Psicosis in a Last Team Standing Match.
Homicide was the last man standing, winning the match for the LAX.

Austin Aries def. 9 other men to win the Cruiserweight Championship.
Aries and Danielson were the first and the last two in the match. AJ Styles and Petey Williams were the surprise entrants.

Brock Lesnar def. Kurt Angle
Kurt Angle was set to debut on the next show. This was a match I had written and Kurt's debut was one I'd been planning for months and to lose it is fucking gay because I really wanted to post it.

Rhino def. Samoa Joe in an Extreme Rules
Paul Heyman screwed Samoa Joe again and after the match Heyman named Joe the Number 1 Contender.

Christian Cage def. Chris Jericho via DQ
Cage won via DQ after Jericho, intent on making Cage suffer, wouldn't relinquish the Walls of Jericho despite Christian having a hold of the ropes.



Destiny
The main point of this PPV was the "Gauntlet to the Gold" match. This was the Main Event where the winner of every match on the Destiny Card would enter a Gauntlet to determine the Number 1 Contender at the Next PPV. Brock Lesnar won a Battle Royal on Enslaved to gain automatic entry.

Edge def. Rhino for the EPW World Championship
Monty Brown screwed Rhino.

Muhammad Hassan def. CM Punk in a Steel Cage Match to retain the Pacific Championship.
Another feud I was looking forward to really getting in to. It was set to really heat up. Punk dropped the title in a tag match with the stipulation if his team lost he lost the title to Hassan. I had planned for Hassan at one stage to hand cuff Punk to the ring ropes and force feed him alcohol. Hassan won the match after escaping the cage thanks to Punk being handcuffed to the ring ropes. (Ensuring Punk remained unpinned)

LAX squashed The Dudleyz
Just a filler to get the Tag Champs on the Card and to continue their momentum. Homicide pinned Bubba. This was the start of a big night for 'Cide.

Christian Cage def. Chris Jericho
Cage got a sneaky roll up on Jericho for the win.

Samoa Joe def. Sabu in a "Szumi's house of fun" Match
Szumi and I came up with this idea ages ago. It was some brutal thing. Mainly with light bulbs wrapped all around the ring ropes, barbwire all around the turnbuckles, thumbtacks every where. Anyway you get the idea. Anyway, Joe won. Pissing off Heyman, continuing their storyline more so.

Austin Aries def. Bryan Danielson
These two finally faced off one on one and Aries eventually came out on top in an epic.

Kurt Angle def. Charlie Haas
Simply a match to get Angle on the card but also the start of a push for Haas since he was to be far from embarrassed.

Homicide def. Shelton Benjamin & AJ Styles in the Final of the Road to the Gauntlet Tournament
This was the final match of a tournament where the winner gained entry into the the Gauntlet to the Gold match. Homicide picked up the win after hitting the Gringo Killa on Shelton.

Kurt Angle def. Homicide, Joe, Christian, Lesnar, Hassan, Aries & The Returning Rob Van Dam
Angle pinned RVD following his surprise return, which including him pinning Brock Lesnar but Lesnar had the last laugh, re-entering at the end nailing RVD with the F5 allowing Kurt to pick up the win. Homicide got a major rub in the match, pinning Christian and ending the unpinned steak of Austin Aries.



Blaze of Glory
"EPW's SUPERBOWL"

Edge def. Kurt Angle to retain the World Championship

CM Punk def. Muhammad Hassan in a First Blood Match to Win the Pacific Championship

LAX def. Generation Next to retain the Tag Titles
This match stemmed from LAX bragging they had no suitable contenders to their titles. Homicide pinned Shelly. Homicides dream run continues.

Bryan Danielson def. Austin Aries in a 2 out of 3 falls tag match to win the Cruiserweight Title

Rob Van Dam def. Brock Lesnar
This match stemmed from Lesnar's jealousy of RVD and Brock's feeling that RVD always stuck his nose into Lesnar's business.

Samoa Joe def. Mick Foley in a Hardcore Match
Another one of Heyman's challenges to Joe. Foley put up a big fight but it wasn't enough. The two shook hands after the match.

Chris Jericho def. Christian Cage in a Submission Only Match

Rhino def. Monty Brown
Rhino took out his frustrations on Brown after he screwed the War Machine out of all his recent big matches.

AJ Styles def. Shelton Benjamin
This one stemmed from Homicide pinning Shelton in the Triple Threat at Desinty and AJ being pissed off that Benjamin cost him a chance in the Gauntlet.

[/center]



There you have it. EPW is done. Thank you to everyone who supported it and gave it a go but reality is this thread was never the same since I returned to it from my partnership with Apple Spitter. As far as my future in BTB goes, it's highly unlikely that you'll ever see me with another thread. There just aren't enough hours in the day for me to do BTB anymore.

Man, sorry to hear that Para, as the booking for this thread looked to be off the charts in terms of future storylines. With that said, this was a great BTB, and it's a shame that this thread is ending this way.
