[plympilgrim]

great show spin, i like the interview with the bubbly maria

 

[GrayNicolls]

What an amazing show! I have a hard act to follow. With not just GMing, but presentation too! Nicely done.

 

[treva]

Great pres Chez and only 1 matchup let you down then.
Edge vs Ric Flair really worked for you!

I just loaded up this game and it's amazing I have started off pretty well (Connor tells me ) hope to see more of this from you 2

 

[The Spin]

Yes, Rey and CM Punk should do well but I didn't notice that Rey's physical condition was a wreck, he should be better for his next appearance.

Next show is Velocity (mine again) which I should get done tomorrow. Due to its lesser importance it will not get as much detail as I will give to Smackdown!.

 

[manee]

Bloody hell Spin; 8.4 TV rating is huge and a rating of 82% is more than I ever get (high 60s).

Well done.

Happy new year.

Already my favourite story; I prefer it to the PCWF as I know all the characters well.

Manee

 

[GrayNicolls]

Yes, as Spin said. It's velocity next, then it's the dominantbrand in sports entertainment.
You guys can see how it's really done . I'll try and repay your faith, manee!

Give it another read, 6.40 was my TV rating . I wish I could get 8.4, but the damn CW Network can't go much higher than 6.4

 

[treva]

Yeh still not too bad but in my first go on the game with WWE, RAW got 7.00 TV Rating

ANyway hope Velocity goes well and then can't wait to see RAW come up soon after

 

[The Spin]

Yeh still not too bad but in my first go on the game with WWE, RAW got 7.00 TV Rating

Now before people say I am awful because Treva beat my TV rating on his first go with the game, there are 2 very good reasons for it:

1. Raw has a better TV Network, so they can get higher ratings.

2. From what Connor has told me, he booked what we call an uber-card. Basically he stuffed it with cage, Hell in a cell and other special matches. To maintain a level of realism in stories, this isn't possible to do.

Still a good achievment though, well done!

 

[GrayNicolls]

It's a great first go, though.

 

[The Spin]

It's a great first go, though.

I did say that at the end

 

[treva]

hey I had no special matches in RAW :

I had a Hell in a Cell in ECW and that's it!
