ok i gotta get this off my chest and I find this annoying in the 25 years or so I've been in various feds :
Match writers, we know your entrance music is usually your favorite song but we don't need to see all of it... I don't mind short snippets of it but don't copy the lyrics from the liner notes ok ?
Also if the songs are longer than the actual match well you need to sit in a corner and think about your life and what needs changing

I have personally heard this feedback before regarding an old character entrance lol I like entrances. I get it isn’t for everyone, I’ll try to dial it back some. Was there one in particular that was super long?

no, but there was one that had lyrics in it and just reminded me of a few people who usually wrote matches and the songs were longer than the matches

Yeah, I can see where you're coming from with this and there are a lot of situations I'd agree with you, but for the most part we ask Roster members to provide their entrance on their application, so it isn't written by/during match writing.
It's also a one time write (although entrances had to be quite heavily re worked to accommodate the 1 time use stage this time) so its generally easier to have a bulked out entrance than a super long match.
Usually I wouldn't include any super short/squash matches on a show, and only really thinkg the DemoniK/Creed match would fall in that category... but that was cleared before had and done to further a story and was obviously RP free.
Usually when we, as match writers, write an entrance it's a pretty short affair with the wrestler simply walking to the ring with their music on, but yea will definitely take that on board

Honestly, the only real critique I have is regarding dialogue distinction. It was a solid read however, I found myself having to take rest breaks because the description text often bled into the dialogue. I think it'd be as simple as color coding speech and if you wanted to be super fancy, perhaps ask for people's preferred color code.

Appreciate the feedback and we’re going to look into ways to make the distinction more clear! Some good feedback guys, genuinely appreciate it. We’re new and looking to continually improve. Your input can only help.

With the risk being classified as wiseass I want to give some ideas and thought about your show I've checked out. As before said, it would be awesome if the speech and description texts could be more distinctive. For example bold text type for speech, cursive for describing parts. I think a show which is easy to read is a very important thing to attract new players in general. Which leads to another point of my thoughts. In German feds the shows were created out of Word/OpenOffice or GoogleDocs documents and posted as own HTML or PDF page because in a text program it's very easy to format and put links/pictures/videos in it. Roleplays of players were standardized so we could migrate them in the show document without much work. Discord has a very neat thing to offer: it can upload a lot of stuff and generate links to it (just put a private channel up and upload there; pictures in my Roster page are examples). As said they're just thoughts off my experience and maybe you're just doing that anyway.
About entrances: I keep it short and sweet because entrances repeats in any shows and at some point they wouldn't be read anymore... because it's same each time. For the lyrics I tend to post just the YT video or only key verses to highlight the attitude of the character.
