Well, it's Gossip time again, and to be honest, I'm not sure what to write here. After all, I pretty much covered everything I had to say last week. Last week, I talked about the serious lack of RPs, and to be honest, nothing has changed.

Let's take a look at the RP board. Since last week's column was posted, precisely seven RPs have been posted - from three characters. Blitz, Psycho, and Mr Happyhead deserve all the plaudits going, so well done to Rob, Paddy, and Steve. I'll also single out Adam for praise, as he has Kriminal promos on every single show. So, apart from those four guys, the rest of you simply are not pulling your weight.

Ben has yet to RP at all, Alex seems to have fallen off the world, Nath hasn't RPed since 13/8… I know about James and Striker, as well as Steve with Norberto. Hopefully things will improve with your new characters, or, in Striker's case, when you return.

As for me, I am seriously disappointed with my performance. I have a TSW promo for Meltdown all ready, but I am struggling big-time with Takashi, I've got to admit. I am, though, going to try to turn it around, and hopefully, all of you will do the same.

Away from roleplaying, things are encouraging. Events are top-class, and we've had some outstanding matches on shows. We had serious writing problems with Meltdown last week, which was why we had to cancel it, but aside from that, the events have been up on time, and they've all been excellent, in my opinion. Hopefully, we can carry this into Genesis, which, by the way, is this Sunday.

Speaking of Genesis, it will be a very short card, mainly because of the small roster, but also because we don't really have any set feuds or angles since we've been concentrating on the tournaments. I have four matches planned - the two tournament finals, and matches between each set of the four semi-final losers, for the first shot at the newly-crowned champions.

Now, I mentioned the lack of solid feuds at the moment, and it just occurred to me that this might be contributing to the lack of roleplaying. Hopefully, then, this will improve after Genesis, as I'll be looking to set up some solid angles, giving us a strong PPV next month. But, as they say, time will tell on that one.

I'll close with a quick mention about the site itself. You'll have no doubt noticed the new splash page, but there are a couple of other changes. Clicking on the show logos at the top of the page will take you direct to the latest of those shows, with the third, currently blank, logo reserved for the latest PPV. There is now an event and column archive, should you want to check back on things you've missed. And the main page will now almost totally be in-character, with news presented as it would be on the WWE site. After a couple of weeks, I'll probably begin including rumours on the page as well.

That's it really, so I'll sign off with a reminder to you all to ROLEPLAY!!! Thank you.
