More on this issue, more people need to be more open to booking different wrestlers and booking wrestlers differently imo, it's all very much booking between boundaries of what folk perceive as right/correct/good, which results in hoards of similar BTB's.
Hey guys
I'm thinking of starting a BTB but just wanted to ask what font would people most like to read + what is the best way of writing a show?
I used to write it on ms word but then when I paste it onto here all the bold ect is gone so I must go over the whole thing again. Anyway what way do most bookers write it?
Well guys just going to leave a small comment here. As Wolfy said we are here just temporarily while Caesar is MIA. Anyways, just wanted to let you know that if you have any questions or anything needed don't hesitate to PM me. I'm always open to helping bookers on anything most of the time if you just PM me. So feel free to do so.
I had sent Ceaser a PM but with the mod situation or whatever Im not really sure who to ask so Im gonna post it in here and maybe some can chime in with the answer. I am almost finished up with the first show of my new XPW BTB and I have Lance Cade featured in an angle and a match. The card is set to present day/future with the date of the actual show being august the 28th. My question is since the show is already written would it be okay to use Cade in it and then write him out next week with a nice tribute?
If I am not mistaken if you started the thread before he died, and have storylines for him already (RIP) you can use him but you can't make a thread now and use him.

That sounds about right, me I was working on a created fed using actual free agent talent and Cade & Murdock were going to be a big part of my Tag division but those plans are now scrapped.
Monty Brown, Chris Harris, Petey Williams, Apolo, Christopher Daniels, Matt Bentley, Chase Stevens (Douglas retired).
berrysi covered it with that Wiki link. There's some very useful workers there, but if you're going with a WWE thread the only one I'd reccomend for a big push would be Monty Brown.

To be honest, if you're going with a WWE thread, you're better off using Bentley. It's a much easier sell in that environment to get Shawn Michaels' cousin over than Marcus CorVon, the man who sounds like a fifties washing powder.
Seeing as the Summer is coming to a close, I wonder why this section didn't have a huge boom period like it always does this time of the year. Wonder what makes this time'round so different.
What do you guys think about using Lance Cade at this point? I'm not a fan of using deceased wrestlers, and with his recent passing, I'm kind of in a jumble. He's very talented and is in somewhat of an original tag team that's going to be pushed to the moon sooner or later. I don't know whether to write him out or leave him in. Just to note, in my thread, there's probably a month left before his real life passing. =(
Just use him if you think it's right for your show, since it's also a month before his death might as well use him.
But when the day comes in your btb when he actually died it's a decision your going to have to make whether to have him wrestle or announce his death and not write him anymore.
In my thread, he's on my Raw roster, but frankly, I never really planned on using him, seeing as there are better options when it comes to midcard heels, and it wouldn't be worth putting him in some rag-tag tag team.
If he was going to be a big part of your thread, then I'd continue using him, if I were you. I don't really see why not, seeing as he clearly works well there, whereas I have no real use for him in mine.
I didn't use Umaga when he passed, either, but maybe that was just because he was still somewhat replaceable. It's a gut call, tbh. As I say, if you feel like using him, I don't think any of us would mind - if he was going to be a big thing (or his team was), chances are it'll only improve the quality of the thread anyway.
As for the summer boom, I have no clue either. As Nabz mentioned, maybe people just weren't in the mood for it. It's a shame the tournament lost steam and then there was no mid-year awards, those usually liven things up a bit - maybe we'll get a belated "summer boom" when Caesar comes back.
@Melvisboy, yeah probably. I assume whenever he gets back he will get awards/tourny running and things will start to pick up again.
@Cade discussion, tbh I never did understand the reason behind not being able to use deceased wrestlers. Sure there is common sense and you wouldn't have Andre the Giant in a 2010 BTB or the Nexus in an Attitude Era BTB, but for Umaga/Lance's case in a current thread it's not really like their families will take you to court over it. It's just a BTB.
