Well, after filling out over 170 ppv's, I don't really see myself having the time to write up storyline synopsis's for every one of them. Especially since I don't always know the context of the feud.
For the shows that itunes has, be my guest in using that as the synopsis. I don't think it is realistic however for us to go back and rewrite all the ones that are already done. Nor do I like the idea of deleting information in those overviews in an effort to re-write them. Many of them are already just udner 1,000 characters, so to add descriptions like this means deleting stuff that is already there. So to add a few adjectives to describe a main event means deleting some of the under card information.
Personally, I'd rather know what was on the undercard instead of having a really well described main event.
I'm wrapping up for the week. Just finished "WWE The Great American Bash 2004", so 2004 is halfway done.

Spent a bit of time cleaning up a few duplicate profiles from tmdb today, mostly for the recent PPVs. Will go back and do some more tomorrow. I'm going to work backwards so hopefully we'll meet in the middle.

Using Oscar Rubio for Rey Mysterio. I don't see any other profile that match searches for "mysterio".
I've wrapped up 2004 today and will be moving into 2005, where I believe allsa001 had begun last week.
Should go a bit faster than 01-04 which, for the most part, didn't have most of the ppv's even entered yet.
I'm still cleaning up and adding info/pics of a lot of cast members as I come across them. Your work on cleaning up the 2013 era cast is going to be extremely helpful as I cross into 05/07 where a mjaority of these guys showedup for the first time.
AH - I found the other mysterio. Moving them all to the same profile now.
edit:
I was under the impression that allsa had started at 2005 last week when I started 2000. However I am at backlash 2005 and it doesn't even exist yet.... I guess that means he wasn't able to get anything done last week. At this point It is prob best if just you and I finish this project Deano. With the rate I'm working forward, nd with you working backwards - it would be quit difficult for a third person to work between us without stepping on the toes of whatever work we are getting done.
2005 is complete.

2006 complete. Also modified a few profiles for guys that just showed up, like CM Punk... who was still listed under his ring name rather than his real name. I added their ring names to the alternate names field though, so they will still be easy to find.
edit:
2007 complete. For all these years you'll want to pull a list and add them to your master list over there. For the most part, other than WrestleMania, I am having to create a new page for every PPV. I just got tired of making a list over here every time I added a PPV. At this rate, I am hoping to be finished by the end of next week.

Everyone involved in this is doing great work and my library is looking better than ever now thanks to you all.
One question I have is if it's possible to hide all the ppvs from my regular movie library, all I've been able to manage is using the filter option but that is only temporary, any solutions?

Thanks, I knew there was a way that I wasn't thinking of, I've got it working fine now.

2008 is done.
I'll try to knock out 2009 tomorrow and half of 2010 on Friday.
I'll try to finish things up by next week.
edit:
hey Deano - today i actually scraped my data for the first time to check how it was working. The first thing I noticed was that i had misspelled Judgment Day on every single PPV, so I went and fixed that. But the second thing I was trying to figure out was the listing order. I created a smart playlist that has the rules "contains WWE" and/or "contains ECW". Then I applied it to a custom node on the Aeon Nox menu. Things seem to load well enough, and I can sort by year - but within the year it alphabetizes the PPV's. How are you sorting your PPV's? Have you figured out how to get them to all list chronologically, rather than just grouped by year?
