Anyone who watches wrestling secretly wants to book it. Many internet wrestling writers are booking the WWF as they speak. Unfortunately, the WWF is predicatable. Certain main events are already set up. It doesn't take much to book the company.

WCW is more fun to book. They still have a lot of talent, and a fair number of stars. They are more directionless and have no had a year-long angle in awhile. I respect the current writers; they have to deal with egos and events that I do not in the fantasy booking.

I personally find it boring reading the description of every television show. This is the kind of booking I like to read; it is therefore how I'd written it. I've briefly described the major angles and happenings in the top card for the top tier group of players, as I see it.

The reason everyone seems to want to book the WWF is because, for the most part, they've got all the guys that over over. HHH, Rock, Austin, Undertaker, and Jericho are all more over than Goldberg, who is arguably the most over WCW guy. The undercard that would have been the top card for WCW is for the most part, gone. First it was Austin himself, and now it's Benoit and Raven as the guys who could have carried WCW. They should be feuding for the WCW Title right now, if you ask me. In any case, I stick with the talent they have now, and I don't bother looking at anything under the US Title picture, and I ignore that most of the time as well. Some things just can't be accounted for over this length of time. Injuries, new talent acquisitions. I don't mention Thunder either, because if I was booking there would only be Nitro. I feel that fours hours of main TV has diluted the television and the product is more effective in bursts. WCW has lost a lot of talent, but they could still put on a damn good show with they have. It's also difficult to anticipate a wrestler getting very very popular very very quickly and deserving a large push. If anybody would care to see it, I'd do this for the WWF as well. I factor in a Bret Hart return at Starrcade, but otherwise all of this is pretty doable. Bret Hart could always be replaced by someone on the roster or another surprise star. World Titles Match are in bold.
