Okay okay...I get the hint (I'm lazy)

[Hell_Fighter]

Okay okay guys, I deserve that in every way.

Although I have been REALLY lazy and haven't really bothered to do it up until now.

I do promise that I will edit and shorten the length of my character entrances. I promise. I see that they are too long, but how was I supposed to know that the match writer was gonna cut and paste the whole damn intro onto the match? I didn't think they would actually do it. I thought they would pick and choose what they want.

Again I am sorry for any inconvenience, and I promise that when I have the chance I will get in and edit my entrances to all of my characters.

Thank you Jeff and company for pointing it out to me. You are oh-so-kind....LOL

Thank you, now stick a fork I'm done.

I'm off like a prom dress.

Patrick.

(brandishes fork) Am I going to have to make like Abdullah the Butcher and REALLY stick a fork in ya, Pat?

If you want something to go by, I've always been of a mind that entrances should be around 30 to 80 seconds long - though arrogant characters can get away with longer entrances. Hell, the video wall that played before the Ratings Boost's entrance was 45 seconds long, plus the rest of their entrance.

disclaimer: i did not write the match in question.

... however ...

please don't put the "blame" on the match-writer b/c he decided to use what you provided.

as a former fed-head and card-writer i can attest that there are some people who are foolishly demanding/protective and hideously anal about the way their character is portrayed on shows. this would include the moves used, mannerisms, fingernail length, and the way the contestant enters the ring. a good card-writer goes out of his/her way to do all he/she can to portray the competitors as closely-as-they-know-how to the creator's vision.

if your ring entrance is seventy lines long or two lines long, most card writers will use it -- if only to represent that particular character as best they can ... to what the handler gives them to work with. if only to avoid some kind of useless blow-up.

turns for mugshot...

Patrick,

I must confess... it was ME who wrote your matches... both the Black and Wang ones. I apologize if it upset you, I was just trying to do as Paul stated earlier. I think that all the characters should be as close to their creator's view as possible. I meant nothing bad by it... but if you want to talk to me about it, I'm always here to listen.

Miller

P.S. Hope the matches were to your liking.

i heard that those mugshots of john's are now available on smokinggun.com.

looks like he had a loooooooong night

John there are no hard feelings...

John,

I can't believe that my little joke actually made you all think that I was seriously upset or anal about it. I mean I admit I heard the jokes and I caught the little hint, but when I wrote this post I was not trying to make you all think that I was offended for cutting and pasting my whole entrance on the strat.

I just thought that I made all of you mad for having such a long entrance or something. I heard the hints in the match and then later on on the Hosselhoff report and thought that i had to do some serious changings when I got the chance.

But I was trying to make light of the whole thing and tried turning it into a joke. Please forgive me for not being very clear with my punchline and making you think that you offended me.

No you didn't offend me. I just it as an hint that I finally needed to get in gear and edit my entrances a little bit.

I am never mad at great writing John and it was a great match.

I mean what Jeff and Paul said are right on the money, I have just been really lazy. I guess I wasn't thinking when I wrote up my entrances to my characters.

I mean I will admit, I am picky about how my characters are portrayed and written, but I never wanted to go as far as to sound anal to something so trival about an entrance. The fact that there was a long entrance should not take away from a beautifully written match.

I hope you all can forgive me for my little blunder on my punchline.

Again I didn't want you to think that I was offended at you John. You did an AWESOME job writing the matches, and I think that you made both of my characters look very good.

I wasn't offended, I just read Jeff's (on the Hosselhoff report) and even your little Gentle nudges about fixing my entrances to my characters because their so long. You're right.

I mean for the most part, Black...because of his current direction could get away with having a long entrance (Its in his insane little ego) but Trynyty shouldn't have a four minute plus intro. Neither should hellfighter for that matter. I mean I will change all of the entrances when I have the time.

All in all, I was merely making a joke out the situation. I was never offended at you John. You did an awesome job, and I love reading your work man. Keep up the great work.

As for my matches that you write for me...they are always to my liking keep up the good work.


Okay I've said more than enough for now...

(This one's for you Jeff)

Time to make like Abdullah The Butcher and stick a pitch fork in me...I'm done...

;-P

Update

I wanted to bring you all up to speed on this little subject.

I have FINALLY taken the liberty of updating and redoing my introductions to all of my characters. Some people even have new entrances all together that I felt fit better than their previous ones.

Anyway I hope that these new intros and everything will make you all happier and easier when writing my matches, that hopefully they are not nearly as long as before. I don't think that they are over four minutes long like before...or if you think about it with Black's intro his would of been 6 minutes long because Hey Man Nice Shot is that long. But I I have fixed everything I hope you all like them and can use them better.

If you have any questions or comments please email me. I must be going for now but I will talk to you again later.

Patrick
