Hey everyone! It all started back with WWE’s Night Of Champions 2015 PPV, (or premium live event, now, sorry pal), when, after inspiration from Adam Blampied and WhatCulture’s early concept of “How WWE Should Book” videos, (it’s about time I admit that), inspired me to start directing the shows in my vision. As the quality and output of the company downgraded yearly, I decided it was time to invoke my vision to make not just WWE, but all pro-wrestling better. More story driven. More care for the future. With these posts, I vow to create and structure the special events with the most care, captivating moments, keeping match order, match time, and everything that goes into a show into mind. Vince McMahon, since I know you are personally reading this, follow closely what I have outlined in this post, and you will thrive. I would not lead you astray. Without further ado, here is how WWE should book WRESTLEMANIA 38: NIGHT 1 AND NIGHT 2!](link to blog post goes here)
