I'm better at match-writing, but truth be told, I like writing promos much more. Its more intriguing for me, and much more possibilities imo.

Depends on what's going on. If I've got a match that I've really built up, layed out, and perfectly set, then I really enjoy writing matches. Vice versa for promos.

Though I think promos, in general, are a bit more of an easy write...

Matches. Maybe cause I think promos are hard to write.

Promos, TBH. Easier to create characters and mould 'em.

I am better at match writing than promos as my characters are not in place but I prefer writing promos more as they're not much of a pain to write.

I aslo prefer Promos, I guess there easier now I have been in booking for a bit and also I find matches hard to write all the detail that the match needs, although I usd to prefer matches to promos!

For a person who only has time to write 1 show a week and is sick of his partners bailing on him, what type of BTB should this person do?

There are many types TBH. You could do a current one but only do one show and maybe just recap the events from the previous at the end of the month. You could do a WWF one were there were only one roster. You can do a made up BTB or even a TNA one.

Well Smallz. I probally wouldn't do a WWE Tri-Branded one as then it would take you a whole three months just to get to a Pay-Per-View and I just think it would be unenjoyable. You could do a TNA one, as that is only one show, you could, as Jamie1 said, do a old WWF thread, or even a present day thread where you only do one of the shows. Another option is to do recaps, and then you would be able to get 2-3 shows up a week. Anyway what ever you do, good luck with it.

Are you very familiar with the Attitude Era? They only had RAW and PPV's back then (during the prime of the attitude era...98 and 99) or maybe go back a little further into the mid 90's with Bret, HBK, Yokozuna, etc. Those are some I'd like to see

Or heck, just create your own promotion. It could be one show and it could be 1 hr long so you wouldn't even have to write much in general, lol. I'm sure you'll think of something. I'd probably go the route of an original federation, that way if I don't have much time, I can just book it the way I want and people won't have certain expectations if they aren't familiar with the product since it's made up.
