You might want to check out Emperor DC's thread. His latest show is a recapped Smackdown...I suggest that for a good example.

Look at Mac's for a good recapped PPV which was his latest one, page 123 of his thread. Probably the best recapped event I have seen.

In terms of shows, not sure on that. Only a few people that are recapping weekly shows. Myself included, as well as Lashley (though poorly) and KOP has just started doing it for this weeks editions of his shows. I would check all of them to find out the best formula or how to write them. However, it is not much different to writing a full show.

I don't know whether there is a 'formula' for recapped shows, although I must admit Empster does a damn fine job. KF4E's not too bad either, so check that out as well.

I'm currently working on re-writing the year 2000 in WWF history. My style consists of mostly match summary, but I'll normally write out the promos. Would you consider it bad writing if you're opening promo is longer than basically the rest of the matches?

It's a hard one TBH but me personally. I wouldn't mind reading a lengthy promo but i would atleast try and make your main-event the same length at least.

Opening promos should have a lot of meaning, otherwise, why let them open the show? So yea, it's no problem at all if you're opening promo is longer than any of your matches.
