EDIT: I have a question, how does everyone plan what they're going to have on their weekly show?
And, do you have it set out like match/promo then match/promo?
1. I usually just brainstorm ideas when i'm bored. Also, when I have A LOT of time on my hands, I just write down a short plan for the upcoming show (Like 1-2 sentences for each segment.)
2. I sometimes have two matches in a row. I usually go with the match-promo plan though. It all depends what your plans for the show is. I really don't mind either way as long as you don't over do it (Example: Promo/Promo/Match/Promo/Promo) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now for my question: How long should a good recapped pay per view be? I was thinking maybe around 10-15 pages.
I plan everything for each show out in chunks ... like the four shows between PPVs. I usually change the order of stuff and once in a while I'll change the outcome of a match or a promo. Kinda just let it flow.

I Make promos up as i go but i have the jist of it down, For the ending of matches (Which is all i write) I have the finish down and just start from when the face gains control again.
Edit: that seems good for recap Edgehead2000. Depends how much detail you get into those 15 pages but.
Also i would like to know, Would it wise to have 2 transitional champions in a row, Face to heel to face, Because i'm a few months away on my Big plan for the draft and i need to get the superstar over their, So 2 transitional champs in a row works?

I usually have just a few moments at random times in the day when ideas will just come to me and I jot them down. I keep it in a notebook, but as far as weekly shows go, yeah, its just the same format of promo/match and the underestimated commercial break.

In my eyes, it doesn't work. Back to back transitional champs is weak in terms of booking, since it makes both the title and the title holders look flukey, but if its something you think you must do and you can't find another way around it, well then I say go for it.
