Good point, maybe things will pick up soon. Looking forward to 619's Supershow, and good to see iMac, cp, Brye and Bad Guy, Nige, as well as other still active and posting.

I wasn't around these parts when Szumi was here before, but I've read some of his WCW stuff, and I was blown away; he deserves all of the awards he's won.

Anyone else return to BTB after taking a long break? How'd the writing process go for them?

I took a break for about 18 months between mid-2008 to the end of 2009. I'd thought of the occasional card but nothing concrete in that time, so I was actually surprised to see that starting fresh after such a long time actually eliminated the glaring errors from my first thread. I'm now on my third thread and taking a break between each one (not to mention the frequent breaks I've had during my current thread ) has been beneficial each time. Feels like I can clear my head - it's like the advice literary agents give to new authors; give yourself a month or two after completing a manuscript then look at it with new eyes after some time. Once I'd detached myself from writing the storylines at the time, I could see certain flaws in promos, matches or the feud as a whole. I think you won't find a writer alive who wouldn't feel a little 'rusty' after a long break, but I consider it a good thing to be able to start new with a series of fresh ideas. A new perspective can be very helpful, I think.

This will end up being a filthy lie and you should be ashamed.

But yes, I'd enjoy the challenge behind a WWE 2012 project.

Same here. If you're reading this, lad, get on it.

May I just indicate my delight at the return of Szumi?

Certainly.

What would people say a good replacement Smackdown theme would be? Know Your Enemy... just no.

I literally cannot think of any songs that would fit it off the top of my head.

Smack My Bitch Up by Prodigy.

Benny Benassi- Cinema, the Skrillex remix. They used it in the WWE Network commercial, so they'd already have the rights for it.
