{NOTES FROM THE BOOKER}
Some of you all know me, some of you don't. For those who don't, I plan on changing that in the near future. For those who do...know that I missed you all greatly. Lol. Anyways, I've been out of booking for a while, and I'm definitely ready to get back into the swing of things! For those that have been around here for a while, you might remember me from my threads "One Thread Stand", "Parental Advisory", and "Race To The Ratings". Well, those were all good and had thier moments, but all of them failed in the long run. Why? Because they had organization problems, and I often found myself lacking the commitment in the long run that burned rabidly when I started them all. I can almost assure you all, that this won't happen again. For the most part here, I'll be focusing on [WW]ECW. RAW and Smackdown will still be going on, but this is just my way of taking it easy...you know, crawling before walking and walking before running. In case any of my old pals are wondering, yeah, I'm still gonna do mobile alerts and what not. Innovation is what I'm all about and once again, for those who don't know me, I plan on showing you just how I roll. Anyways, thanks for reading so far, and I hope you all help me stick to this in the long run as much as I want to now! Oh yeah, remember folks, comment for comment, review for review.

Also, don't give me a half-assed comment like "Looks good." and expect anything more back from me. If you're going to comment on my thread, make it meaningful and something that I can use in the future for better or worse.

{BACKSTORY}
With the expected ratings struggle on Sci-Fi, World Wrestling Entertainment officials made one final attempt to pull the interest in, and ratings up. After several negotiation sessions, the Sci-Fi network and WWE agreed to schedule the ECW programming for 8:00 P.M. EST on Tuesday nights, as opposed to 10:00. It’s said that ECW was one of the highest rated shows on the Sci-Fi network, but not high enough to keep its slot. However, WWE pleaded with the Network to get the 8:00 spot, guaranteeing higher ratings than ever. Sci-Fi allowed the time change, and that’s when WWE made the announcement. Not only would ECW be moved to 8:00, but it would feature the regular superstars of ECW, as well as the superstars of Smackdown AND RAW. Immediately, the interest in ECW grew. Like most things in WWE, it sounds promising on paper, but only time can tell how it will work out.

Glad to see you back, man. I think it's good that you're trying something new by going with ECW, and I'm really looking forward to it. Everything looks in place, and I'll definitely be reading.

Emperor DC · 03-18-2008, 09:56 AM

For the last time, these so called 'Mobile Alerts' are not innovantive. They are just your way of trying to be different and stand out, when you don't.

Regardless, I guess I wish you luck on sticking with a thread. It seems important to you.

Actually, the innovation line was a switch of subjects as opposed to supporting the thing about mobile alerts. Perhaps it's just bad word placement, but yeah, by now I'm sure the mobile alerts are fairly unique, but much short of innovative.

As opposed to me standing out, I don't have to try. I either do or don't. I would though, in a separate setting (maybe via PM, but not in this thread) like to know how setting this up portrays me as "trying to stand out"?. If anything, it's me trying to gather a loyal fan/reader base. I also fail to understand why you take time out of your day to heckle me for something so simple, but whatever. You'll be you.

Thank you for the wishes though, and yes...this is much more important than most would imagine.

Kanefan4E · 03-18-2008, 09:54 PM

Although I agree on most. DC only did what others have done, and that's comment on your thread.

Anyways welcome back man. Good to see you book an ECW thread. I really like ECW and am intrigued as to where you will take it. Hopefully you can do something good with it.

Adding the Raw and Smackdown superstars to the roster adds more in depth talent which is good, but at the same time takes things away from the actual initials of the company. But whatever, cause lets face it. The Extreme went away as soon as WWE introduced it onto the scene.

Best of luck kid.

M$quaredWrestling.Net Report;

Jeff Hardy Appeals, Gets Reinstated!
Corey Clayton Reporting
March 24, 2008

As you all may have known, WWE Superstar and former Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy was suspended earlier in the month for failing a wellness test from WWE. Despite the unfortunate circumstances reguarding Hardy's home, Jeff was determined to get his suspension withdrawn.

Hardy appealed the WWE's decision to suspend him, and request that the test be taken again. WWE officials responded by allowing him to take it again, but placing a stipulation on it; He fails, he's fired. The confident Hardy's results were clean, and he was reinstated just yesterday afternoon. He is scheduled to be one of the RAW superstars participating in the ECW talent exchange presentation on April first, however the match he will be in has yet to have been decided.

With this turn of luck for Hardy, WWE officials are now looking over their methods for their Wellness Testing. Either Hardy just got lucky, or some of the WWE's medics might be in the unemployment line. Nonetheless, good for Jeff, and you can bet your ass the WWE is glad to have him back on board. (Besides, what other mid-card face gets the reaction he does?)

Another Thread from Mr.Michaels nice!

I will try to read some shows and hopefully get a review in.

M$quaredWrestling.Net Report;

Snitsky Released!
Gregory Tate Reporting
March 24, 2008

Just moments after it was announced that Hardy's suspension had been lifted, it was also announced on WWE.com that the officials and Snitsky came to terms on his release. Snitsky went away quietly, and was apparently unhappy with his current status in the WWE. Officials found it no bother to let him off, and Snitsky is rumoured to be headed for a run with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.

Bad for Snitsky though, WWE writers had big plans for Snitsky on ECW, and didn't inform him until after the release. So, the creative staff have decided to place Big Daddy V in his place. Be on the lookout for this massive 'mastadon' in the near future, and imagine if Snitsky would've been a little more patient...

AJJets107 · 03-24-2008, 08:09 PM

Snitsky being released is not a surprised for me. It's going to be pretty interesting what the big plans for BDV will be.

**DTJ** · 03-24-2008, 10:07 PM

This looks good, your roster seems pretty good. Can't wait to see what kind of plans you got for Big Daddy V.
