From the Bookerman:
-Well, the good news is that Book has good chemistry with both Matthews AND Striker, his current partners in the SD! announce booth. That's pretty awesome.
-The bad news is that Matthews is not quite good enough to be calling the high-end matches. Hopefully he improves quickly, because I don't really want Cole on both shows even if I'm not pushing him.
-Hm, some pretty poor psychology. That's annoying.
-I am pretty disappointed with that tag match. I am used to booking more indy-ish feds in this game, so I occasionally expect midcard matches to do better than they do with WWE. Their product prioritizes popularity over skill.
-I happened to glance at the ideal roster screen and we are pretty short on workers. I am not sure what to do with that...we have a bunch of people coming off injury soon, and I will be collecting people for NXT, so that should put us over the threshold, but I don't want to take penalties in the meantime, but hiring enough people to fix it will give us a big surplus when the injuries heal and NXT starts. That's not a horrible thing, though, and I can always boot people to OVW. I'll see what's available. The owner goals aren't going to make it easy by any stretch.
