Keep it the way it's been, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Sounds like a good idea. Might be confusing at first, but it would be nice to have 8 days instead of 7 each week.

Nah, I like the one show a week format MUCH better.

Sounds awesome, especially since smarks make up most of the WWE's floundering fanbase right now. Smarks know best!

>2. What's been your favorite CWF moment? The guys

Ooooooooooh, it's a tough decision, but I'll say the Chaos Theory on Zeitgeist off the 20 foot ladder in the Web of Pain.

>3. Out of the Pay Per Views I've worked on since
>taking control (Bad Meets Evil, Rock Bottom, and
>Electromania 4) Which has been the best overall?
>(feel free to skip this one if you haven't been here
>for all three)

I'm gonna have to say Rock Bottom, although Javier Moreno vs Curtis Mayhem is by far the best normal singles match I've ever read.

>4. What's your favorite style of roleplay? Comedy,
>dark/gothic, story form, etc etc.

I loves me a good comedy roleplay, but those often get old fast.

>5. Do you think I'm gonna come up with another psycho

>there lol)

Yeah, and the match will be this: Candyland Match. It will be fought inside a giant gingerbread house. It will be good brutal fun until Flabulas runs down and eats the whole thing.

Heh! I resemble that remark! (said as if I was Flabulas even though I'm not, I'm just his handler)
