Good to see you back

Good time frame, One of my favourites if not favourite. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Christian on Raw and how you develop Cena and Batista seeing as though its before Mania.

All looks good, good luck with this, i'll be reading!

 

[Renegade™]

YES!

Owait, it's just you. Fucks sake.

8*D

Everything looks good, interesting to see you start so close to Mania but whatevs, the Rumble is the best PPV (apart from Survivor Series) to write so it's a good start point. Keep the Dudleyz plz, they own. Good luck young jobber.

On one hand, it's good to see you back. On the other, I'm really not sure about this. I thought your '04 thread was going well, and while I know having to pick SD back up kind of ruined any momentum you had with writing Backlash, I'm disappointed to see you've left that. At the same time, I'm not so sure how many options you have for your big WrestleMania matches starting so close to the event. Batista/Triple H was almost a MUST at this point with the reaction Batista was getting, unless you plan on throwing Orton and possibly Flair in there. At the same time, Cena was the man coming up on SmackDown!, and no one else really felt like they could possibly be headed to a WrestleMania main event on that side of things, unless you decide to run with Kurt Angle/JBL, which doesn't have the same natural chemistry imo. Still, it's good to see you back, so hopefully you make this work.

Good luck, bubzy.

 

[iMac]

Good to have you back, although you are a disappointment for not getting to Backlash. Interesting to see what you come up with for 'Mania main events, but we'll take it one step at a time and hope you reach the Rumble. 8*D

Good luck.

 

[CM Dealer]

Your 04 thread looked pretty cool, so good luck.

 

[DTJ]

Damn bro, I really liked your 2004 thread! Oh well, this looks really good too. Good luck with this mate, and hopefully you stick to it.

 

[JBLoser]

Well look who it is.

You know I'll be reading.

 

[Nuski]

Your 2004 thread looked legit, so i'll be reading this.

 

[DH]

Welcome back. I love the time period you're starting in so I'm interested in seeing what you do with it.

Good luck

 

[Shock]

Get past the first show and then I'll make a nice comment.

Good luck
