Great show! Definitely moving in the right direction, both in terms of grades and with those increases in perception. I hadn't even considered that you could have asked Hogan to put Goldberg over. I imagine you did it just to see if he'd agree, but yeah, you get that promise and you have to capitalize. I'm a huge Goldberg fan, so I'm stoked to see where you go with him. Or rather, I should say I'm stoked to see WHO'S NEXT!

Thanks man, appreciate that. I've just finished editing the Uncensored episode, in my opinion, it's even better!

I don't particularly feel a need to push Goldberg yet personally anymore than keeping his streak running on jobbers and low level guys for momentum and steady building up that momentum until he's sizzling hot and start having him bump heads with better names and into the main event around the end of '99. I think it's more natural and organic that way. Even keeping many of his wins on B shows and dark matches will keep him building momentum while not becoming a cheat magnet.

The hardest Goldberg booking will always be the who, what, where, why, when he finally loses. And what do you do with him once he loses? Because his streak is really all he has going for him. I'm interested in other peoples ideas of using him after the streak ends.

@@edwinbetancourt3958 I agree with you actually, usually I would go the more slow, organic route, but I'm kinda desperate for younger Major Stars and in real life, I notice he won the world title in July '98. I'm not saying that's where I'm going, but I'm not too concerned about getting him over quicker than I would normally like to.

@@edwinbetancourt3958 I'll cross that bridge when I come to it, but you're absolutely right. When and who will be the biggest questions.

Catching up as we speak, but you asking Hogan to do the job to Goldberg and the Hulkster turning around to the TEW equivalent of "That works for me, brother!"? You love to see it! Absolutely LOVING where you're going with Booker T; booking him as an "everyman" character (I think that's the right adjective? Where's Nash when I need him? Look at the adjective, Kevin! "Everyman"!), a gimmick that makes me think, "Well, back in the day he was just a young kid growing up, who managed to break in to the business and become a solid tag partner with his brother, and now he's going solo and could soon be breaking into the main event and challenging for the world title! And we're here for the journey! Wow!" I've a ways to catch up so looking forward how this progresses. Also, you've already done a better job considering how they broke up in 2000, oh dear, haha Liked the build up to the main event; Curt Hennig wanting to win all the singles gold and the idea of a Sting Vs Hennig main event is great. And I'm with you on not showing what goes on behind the scenes, but I'm glad you did at the end; I've underestimated how great a 1998 mod would actually be; contract negotiations, arrivals, defections. I bet you're having fun with this! (Fun? Or "fun"?)
