What do you think of how you've been booked?

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?

What's your favorite thing about XWL?
Matches & Promos, can't be matched in other leagues tbh.

What's your least favorite?
Not sure... Not as many least favorite things anymore. Probably MSN/The Chatbox. XAT ftw

What should be done to improve the shows?
Uh, this is a tough one. Not quite sure at the moment, maybe more reviews and stuff would make it better. Always liked reviews.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?
I'm already gonna review Redemption weekly, so why not Breakdown too.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?
It's bad tbh. It doesn't mean what it should, should either be redone or just switch it off for a weekly power 25 or something to that nature.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)
This is a tough one for me. I know I've only been in XWL for, what? 8 months? And a lot of that hasn't been spent the in the best ways... Anyways, I haven't been here to see pre-Two Brands XWL, but I'm 50/50 on this. 50/50 because on one aspect, one brand brings more feud opportunities, a difference in rank between IC and US which I like (Basically Upper-Mid Card would be like IC and Mid-Card is US) and it seems like with two brands, one show is always more active than the other. But then with two brands there's cross brand feuds, two separate GMs, and more stuff I just can't think of at the moment. Plus having two superstars on the same show is kind of weird. Two brands is definetly better for that.

What do you think of how you've been booked?
Well, this is a tough one. I kind of wish I was booked against more higher card people, but as of late I have been so I guess that was just because of my situation. So because I'm unsure of how I'm being booked in the future.. I can't really answer this question well.

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?
Something for new members to go to and see like how the league runs. Because coming into a league it's kind of overwhelming all the questions you have that you end up not asking any and then that could lead to mistakes. Maybe a thread or something that's like a F.A.Q. could help.

What's your favorite thing about XWL? Short and sweet answer just how much of a community we've become together. I honestly feel like you guys are more than just my friends/league members I consider you guys some of my best friends. So I guess I'd say the tight-knit community and how everyone works together to make this place as great as it's been for over 3 years now.

What's your least favorite? Nothing. Sure I have my things I don't mind here and there but it's just small things that aren't of any importance.

What should be done to improve the shows? At the current point I can't think of anything. I mean everyone does their best each week and we're all always working to make this place great. For now I think it's as good as it'll get but I'm sure I'll think of something and be back to edit this eventually.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly? I'd love to but as of right now I just don't have the time. I'm trying to get better at reviewing things lately but real life always gets the better of me when it comes to something like this.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System? I think it's great. It gives you an idea of where you're at in the league currently. At the same time the way we designed it shows that it doesn't take being the best at the game to be a success and I dont think that should change one bit.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.) For one I think keeping it is a definite yes. As for how it went for it being our first one I definitely feel like it went much better than I expected. everything's worked out great and everyone's been very cooperative and reasonable when it comes to making it work and I think because of that it should stick around for as long as it can.

What do you think of how you've been booked? In terms of how I've been booked I'm fairly content with it and I think it's definitely reasonable. Mainly for the fact that I've got a lot going on at the moment but still want to be active I think my current situation is about as good as it'll get. Once I get my things sorted I'll definitely want to change things but we'll come to that when we come to it I suppose.

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole? Again. This is always a tough question for me. So for now I'll just have to come back to it when I can. As I've always mentioned though we'll discuss everything and see where it goes.

What's your favorite thing about XWL?

The willingness of everyone to help out in anyway they can, the open environment of being able to create your own story lines, friendships, enemies, yet at the same time the rules and regulations that keep things straight, fun, fair, and downright "un-nooby."


What's your least favorite?

...?


What should be done to improve the shows?

Just if more people, including myself, promo'd more often. Other than that it's practically it, the shows are coming along great. Everyone is fantastic at promos and those who aren't are quickly learning by others.


Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?

Well, I used to have the Divas Review going, and I've recently been thinking of bringing it back, especially during the summer considering I'll have much less to do.


What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?
No complaints.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)

Yes, I think it should be kept. The brand split creates a realistic twist on the XWL environment, i.e. the draft, etc. Although I do think an occasional "Super Show" would add some interesting promos.


What do you think of how you've been booked?

I think I've been booked fairly. The more active I was and more improved I became over the year I've been here, I found myself being booked in higher-rank matches.


What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?

I think maybe an XWL version of NXT would be a nice competition for starters, giving XWL members of all status a shot at joining, not just those who are already experienced, but also for those who have little if no experience in promos, or XWL-style matches.



Overall, I have no regrets of joining XWL.

What's your favorite thing about XWL?
Nothing

What's your least favorite?
Everything

What should be done to improve the shows?
Maybe more variety in booking, not the same 5 or 6 people in the main event give some of the newer guys a chance at the weekly show main event.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?
No.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?
Honestly there's not much point to them, keep the idea just remove the term Ranking and put Division just so they know where they stand as far as what to promo for, just an idea.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)
I think it's going good and should be kept as is.

What do you think of how you've been booked?
It's been alright, no complaints but no praising.

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?
Not saying a set of tag team titles but maybe have a select few members already here and allow them a 3rd character to get a tag team division going and see how it goes and entertains to get new people and current members enticed to join.

What's your favorite thing about XWL?

What XWL has become through the years. It's got a great community, it's still growing and strong, we've got so many feuds every month, people getting better, more people finding out about XWL...As a league owner that never imagined XWL getting this big it's just nice to see...I'm glad with the help of all the admins through the years we've made something that's fun for all and that's what this is all about in the end.

What's your least favorite?

Honestly can't say I have one...Some matches not being done isn't the greatest but that's at the fault of the servers and not really anyone themselves.

What should be done to improve the shows?

Obviously a draft, and one will be happening soon, sometimes one show is off balanced from the other and it's in dire need of a fairly big overhaul on both shows to even out the star quality on both.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?

I'd like to say yes, but I really don't have the time after doing all my other stuff for the league and real life to review every week. Though I'd love if we could just get maybe a group of members that wouldn't mind reviewing from time to time, and then maybe have like a schedule or something for them to switch off on reviews...Like say Ash, me, Zander, Gaz all say we wanna review (Not saying we do but using this as an example) We could have Gaz and Me each review one show one week, then Zander and Ash the other, then Gaz and Ash then Zander and me...I don't know, just if we could get a group of members like that it could be cool. They wouldn't have to review every week, and we'd have weekly reviews.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?

I like the rankings, some may think they're pointless but they're just a small little thing that keeps you ranked and helps us determine the next contenders or contenders matches based on the rankings of superstars and divas. But I'd also love to include like a Power 25 in some aspect to that, but whether that would stick, or how that could be done or not remains to be seen.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)

100 % Yes. I know people had their doubts, but we said if any league could pull off brands it was us, and low and behold we have. While the rosters may have been a bit off, that's due to switches and whatnot which really didn't help when we had perfectly placed a great roster on both brands originally...We have the roster for two shows and I just love the brand aspects that we can use from time to time. Like supershows, and the Redemption Vs Breakdown PPV, Supremacy is a cool addition to what XWL is now too.

What do you think of how you've been booked?

I think whoever's booking me should be fired, like really?

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?

Being the owner I'd obviously bring up any ideas I have without question, but at the moment I can't think of any that XWL needs. A tag division would be great, but that's failed so many times, people want it, we've given them the chance time after time to make something of it but nothing ever comes of it. And again I'd love if something along the lines that I pitched for reviews was done, but it depends on what people think about that. As always it doesn't matter if you're new or a veteran, if you have any ideas feel free to talk them over with an admin, you never know what might happen. Just because we've got admins doesn't mean we're not open to member suggestions.

What's your favorite thing about XWL?
The activity.

What's your least favorite?
Arguments.

What should be done to improve the shows?
I don't really know, think they're fine as it is.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?
Don't have the time.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?
Seems past it's prime now.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)
I think we should keep it. I'd rather have two 3-4-5 page long Redemption and Breakdown shows than one show thread that's like 12 pages to read through.

What do you think of how you've been booked?
N/A Due to break.

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?
Not sure.

I like Seme's idea for the tag division. I think it would add to the shows since there'd be more tag matches and hopefully promos. So I'd vote for Seme's idea to get a good tag division up and running.

What's your favorite thing about XWL?
A great community of people here and alot of people i get along with. Have some great matches and love the feuds i have had here. Plus the activity is always high.

What's your least favorite?
Nothing that I can think of, the odd idiot who shows up in XWL but tht doesn't bother me really

What should be done to improve the shows?
Like many others have said already a draft wud freshen things up. Plus maybe have the odd title match on the shows as well as on PPVs.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?
I'd try but busy as hell.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?
It seems to work and I think its good.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)
Best thing that has happened at least it splits up your superstars you take, just like i said a draft wud freshen this up.

What do you think of how you've been booked?
I've been booked ok so no complaints.

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?

I like Seme's idea about the tag teams. I know we got a Xtreme Title but I have been watchin FCW recently and i love the concept they got with the FCW 15 title which is basically a 15min Iron Man, think that wud be a great concept we cud use but i dunno if it wud work.

What's your favorite thing about XWL?
The activity. I've been in leagues for a while now because I'm a total vet, and the activity within XWL is great. And we may have an off week or two but even at times like these at a PPV we bounce right back and whip out fantastic shows. As Red said, it's like a haven for WWE players.

What's your least favorite?
Arguments between people, when I was first in XWL there was little to no bickering here. As sappy as it sounds we just need to get along, it'd make things run a lot more smooth around here. I'm looking at you Gaz and David.

What should be done to improve the shows?
I kinda agree with Red about spam posts but I'm not one to talk, but I'd like to see more comments that I do. One liners complimenting someone on a good promo that you thought stood out, but you don't have the time to review. To give them a confidence boost on their character when they deserve it.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?
I really wish I could but I don't have the time, I've only reviewed the rare promo recently. I've 2 weeks off soon though so I'll give it a shot then. But I try to tell people on MSN and in the threads when I like their promos or where they need to improve.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?
I feel it's un-needed and extra work for David, but if it helps people get a general idea where they are in XWL as their characters and David doesn't mind doing it then I don't mind.

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)
Worked WAY better than I expected, definitely keep it. As I said in my last post I'd rather read two threads with 4-5 pages than a 1 show thread with 11-12 pages. It separates the feuds and characters and I'm just glad it worked as it's a pretty big feat. A draft should be neat to freshen up the landscape of the shows.

What do you think of how you've been booked?
N/A, but I've never really had problems with my booking because I'm always pushed to the moon.

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?
If we go with the 15 title thing then I don't want to see the X-Treme title, to me it'd be a bit of overkill with another mid card title. I'd rather see one or the other in terms of the 15 and X-Treme setups. And when it comes to the tag deal I don't really like it, it just narrows the choices for new members in terms of who to be. And I'm not sure if people will be fully dedicated or just choose a 3rd person for a team just because they can. Aside from that you should just let Bang update the graphics!

I'd also like to see #1 Contender Matches more to determine contenders.

Be honest with your answers and once again, we love you Ash; because it's not gay if it's Ash.

[center]What's your favorite thing about XWL?
The promos are fun to write and read with a lot of very unique approaches as different members do their own unique things with there characters. The matches are great and fun to play, really fair and enjoyable and the community as a whole, the members are great and its a fun community

What's your least favorite?
nothing really, i like how everything is going at the moment and enjoying xwl as a whole

What should be done to improve the shows?
MORE CHAVO.

Would you be willing to review both Breakdown and Redemption weekly?
i would but only on weeks where i have no college, too much coursework and exam revision i need to focus on.

What are you thoughts on the Championship Ranking System?
i like it, gives people something to strive for, but i feel in some cases there are people who are number 1 for a week and then can fall to number 4 whereas someone could be number 6 and already in line for a shot so i think something could be done with the number one contender at number 1 or something? but it

After a year, what are your thoughts on the brand split? (Should we keep it, etc.)
i like the brand split, always thought it was a good idea last year and still do. Gives more people a chance to shine on both shows.

What do you think of how you've been booked?
i like it, don't really mind who i am booked against weekly as long as i get a fun match to play

What other ideas do you have for XWL as a whole?
i like the idea which has already been mentioned for a kind of power15 weekly and also what jiggas said about a XWL15 title, i think that would be pretty cool if implemented correctly.
