I'm not sure if it's just me, but the old thread has become an absolute pain in the ass to open due to it trying to take me ten or so pages ahead of the actual last page. So to make it easier, here's a new thread.

Old thread for those of you who wish to refer back: http://www.wrestlingforum.com/booker/510932-official-btb-discussion-thread.html

~ No spamming
~ No arguing
~ Under any circumstances, NO "WELL EXCUUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!"
~ You can discuss other BTBs here, it's fine. Don't shill your BTB needlessly, however
~ If you have a question regarding "What Should You Do," just go with your gut instinct
~ Use references like google or onlineworldofwrestling for answers to questions you could easily find yourself

Post away.

If it is just a case of not having anything for them for a while, just give them an injury. BUT, if it is the fact that you can't think of anything for them... say you have Shawn Michaels and you don't have any plans for him any more... just use him to put over someone and have that someone beat them in a 'Loser leaves WWE Match' or 'If Shawn Michaels loses, he must retire' ala CP and Ric Flair.

I don't think it happens enough to be honest, but I'm sure a lot of others will say that titles should only change hands on pay-per-views.

For me, as long as it fits a particular story, or if the timing is right, it's fine. The first example that comes to mind in BTB is Legend, when he booked The Big Show to beat Kurt Angle for the WWE Championship on Raw. It didn't need happen on a pay-per-view, but it felt no less important than it would've been had it not been on television.

One of the greatest Raw moments I can remember is Mankind winning what was the WWF title for the first time in 1998. That was fantastic to watch and a really wonderful moment that didn't lose anything being on TV and not on pay-per-view. I even think that it being on Raw was better than it would've been on PPV, not that we'll ever know.

As long as it's a storyline that's been built up well then there's no reason why it wouldn't work.

I know how you feel regarding The Undertaker, he is pretty tough/repetitive to book for, especially as the Deadman.

Personally I'd have a young guy wanting to make an impact target him. If you could put the Deadman on the shelf then you'd create a new threat right off the bat. That or possibly a heel 'Ministry' Taker? Always something I thought would be interesting to book, difficult but different.

Has any BtB even been moderately successful with fictional characters? I want to try one, I started one before but I realized that I started it all wrong. Would anybody actually read one of these.
 
#3,803 ·
I'd give it a read if it was done correctly. Characters would need to be firmly established, and the writing would have to be exceptional to get me interested. With that being said, I'd read anything thats a little different to all the generic WWE threads we get around here.

And to answer your other question, no. Nobody has written a successful thread with fictional characters.

I haven't gotten a chance to read a ton of the BTBs here yet, but I've noticed on a couple other forums I was lurking on, you see a lot of WWE threads starting, and then one of two things will happen (or sometimes both):

1) Cena is completely buried right out of the gate with no rhyme or reason.

2) Roman Reigns is replaced by Kassius Ohno with no rhyme or reason.

I'm not sure about the feud itself, but I remember one guy whose name I cannot recall who was just terrible. I remember a piece of his 'feud' dialogue was like

I'm Triple H. I am no longer fighting with Umaga. I am now a rival with Jeff Hardy.

No idea why this question made me remember that, but it did *shrug*

Maybe. Who knows...
You're a terrible tease.
