We’re continuing on with booking Shotgun, as I try and build upon the show from last week in an effort to put together a cogent and interesting narrative (I’ll probably fail, but one can dream). I’ll post the results and happenings from last week’s show after the break line and I hope you all have some fun whilst we book Shotgun!

I’m bringing back some fantasy booking stuff for the next few weeks, as I try and write a regular weekly show and keep it interesting. I decided to create a fictional scenario where upon Vince McMahon goes mad and allows me to hold the reins on Shotgun Saturday Night at the start of 1999, with my brief being that Shotgun is going to be the show where I ideally give the less booked members of the roster some chances for minutes in the ring whilst also doing some smaller storylines that might be separate from Monday Night Raw and Sunday Night HeAT. Raw and HeAT are going to remain focused on Sports Entertainment and Crash TV, but I’ll be allowed to go at a more relaxed pace with Shotgun if I want to, so I can focus some weeks just on the matches with little additional gaga etc, which I wouldn’t be allowed to do on the other two shows.
I picked Shotgun because it gave me some self-imposed limits to what I can and can’t do, which in-turn will require me to approach things differently than I might normally be allowed to do so. For instance, because I’m booking Shotgun, it’s not like I’m going to have access to all of the top stars because they will be appearing on Raw and HeAT (HeAT was still a major show in the pre-Smackdown days) so that will mean I will have to get the best out of the mid-card and lower card talent.
Because Shotgun was a syndicated show, it’s not like I’m going to be able to do major angles or have Title changes on it, so that will also limit what I can and cannot book for the show. The WWF would sometimes book Raw, HeAT, Shotgun and their Super Astros shows all at the same tapings sometimes, so at best Shotgun is the third on the totem pole there. That means that if someone is already booked for Raw or HeAT in a major role, then it’s going to be less likely that I can also have them on Shotgun, just because the crowd could get sick of them if they show up too many times and we’re also running the risk of injuries etc. That means that I’ll have to look at what’s booked for those other shows before putting together my own cards. If I desperately have to then I WILL occasionally double book people, but I’ll do my best to avoid it if I can help it.
The challenge will be to take those limitations and still put together a fun 45 minutes of wrestling each week. Can I take a limited roster, along with limited scope for putting together storylines and angles, and still put on an entertaining episodic television show? Well, I’ll give it a go at any rate!

We’re continuing my current rebooking arc this week, as we go from Survivor Series 2015 all the way up to WrestleMania XXXII.
Last week we booked Roadblock 2016, and I’ll post the results after the break line for those who would like to be easily caught up to where we are in this six part arc. You can also read the full article in my archives should you wish to.
Well, here we are, we’ve finally made it to WrestleMania XXXII. Over the past six weeks I’ve been rebooking every major WWE event from Survivor Series 2015 onwards in an effort to come up with an entertaining alternative reality to what WWE gave us in real life. Now we reach the final test, as I see if my version of Mania XXXII is actually any good. For all I know you’ll hate it, but you can’t always win them all can you?
Still though, I’ve worked on this quite I bit so hopefully all that work will pay off and we’ll get a good show out of it!

We’re continuing my current rebooking arc this week, as we go from Survivor Series 2015 all the way up to WrestleMania XXXII.
Last week we booked Fastlane 2016, and I’ll post the results after the break line for those who would like to be easily caught up to where we are in this six part arc. You can also read the full article in my archives should you wish to.
This week we don’t have a pay per view but rather a WWE Network Special, as WWE is swinging by Toronto in Canada for a big event. Roadblock 2016 will be the last “supercard” event until WrestleMania XXXII, and we’ll see some issues advanced whilst other parts of the Mania card are officially set in stone.
When we left things after Fastlane; Roman Reigns had managed to retain his WWE Title, but he had needed some help in order to accomplish it. There’s no rest for the wicked however, as Reigns has another big challenger to contend with at Roadblock 2016, with a Canadian threatening to take the Title in his home nation.
Elsewhere we’re going to advance the issues for both the tag belts and the secondary Titles, as well as keeping things cooking in the women’s division. We also have a special appearance by a part timer in order to make the show have that extra hook to get folks interested.
