TEW 2008: MAW

[sabotai]

Mid Atlantic Wrestling

Size: Small

Based: Mid Atlantic, USA

Popularity: F+ Mid Atlantic, F- everywhere else

Coverage: None

Owner: Rip Cord

Head Booker: Jack Avatar (me!)

Product: Old School (80% Matches)
Key Feature: Traditional
Heavy: Realism
Low: Mainstream, Hardcore, Pure

Fan don't like gimmicks, want solid matches with clean finishes, and don't like highly risky angles. Workers rated more on performance than popularity. The fed is also favorable towards getting sponsors. One last thing, MAW will not be rocked by industry changes.

List of feds MAW has worker agreements with: NYCW, CZCW, FREEDOM, PSW and USPW. This means I can sign the workers on their roster, I just can't sign them to an exclusive contract, and it allows me to use the talent trade.

Balance: $100,000

Merchandise: Conservative / Standard
Production: DVD/Video, Standard quality, In House music


Jack Avater: He has skills. In the ring, on the mic, and he's very young. He can easily be a superstar with these ratings. I thought about it, and initially I thought it would be a bit weak of me to use, well, me as a worker. The Grand Avatar, the avatar I used in the previous game, had zero skills. Literally.

I wanted something that had mic skills, so that I could play the role of "Authority Figure", but seeing his in-ring skills, I am tempted to use him. After all, this is about fun and I think it could be fun to have me in the ring. Plus, in real life, in-ring workers were head bookers all the time. At least when I followed wrestling there were.

So I probably will break me out and put me in the ring. Although, I might make myself wait a bit. At least until I get my fed up to Cult status. It might be too easy to raise my fed's popularity if I use my avatar right now. At the very least, I'll just use myself to try and improve other workers' skills and momentum.

[sabotai]

I'll give a more complete breakdown of the roster later, along with my plans for the fed, but here's a quick list of the workers, their PPA, Alignment and Current Momentum, etc.

Main Eventer
Mean Jean Cattley - $800 / Heel / B+
Erik Strong - $500 / Face / C+ - Current Champion

Upper Middlecarder
Citizen X - $500 / Heel / B
Cameron Vessey - $350 / Heel / B
Oscar Golden - $350 / Heel / B

Midcarder
Casey Valentine - $350 / Heel / C-
Antonio - $350 / Heel / B
Ricky Douglas - $350 / Heel / D-
The Masked Patriot - $350 / Face / D-
Flash Savage - $350 / Heel / E+

Lower Midcarder
Findlay O'Farraday - $350 / Heel / D
Huey Cannonball - $350 / Heel / C
Max Mayhem - $350 / Face / D

Opener
Riley McManus - $100 / Face / D
Curtis Jenkins - $100 / Heel / D

Enhancement Talent
Jefferson Stardust - $100 / Heel / E+


No need to check popularity, except for maybe a few at the top, I'm sure everyone is in the Fs, or E- at best. First thing I notice is the overabundance of heels. 4 Faces, 12 Heels. One of the first things I'm going to do is to see who would make good canidates to switch to face.

[condors]

I love MAW. The only thing that bothers me is when you get a guy over he gets snapped up by SWF or TCW even had a Japan Fed take the Masked Patriot from me :(

Don't worry about Jack Avatar you should build him up to be your champ. He is your only worker that is on a written contract. Look at other feds and the owner/booker are key guys in their feds. It is going to be hard to win the regional battle. Look every month to see if there is a date when other guys aren't working and bring in the best guys from the other promotions to work for you. If your interested in trying to grow. If your just trying to make money hold only a monthly show at good old stanley hall with your talent and you should make money.

You may want to turn Flash Savage and Oscar Golden and they can fight CV2. Also you can try to mix and match the other heels on the roster to for tag teams and see if they have any chemistry there. (that is what i usually do)

kinda sad about your last dynasty but I wish you much success in this one

[sabotai]

Thanks for the tips condors. For the first year, I'll probably just use the talent I have. May not be great, but several workers have really good momentum so I'll try to ride that for as long as I can. Once I start building up some cash, I'll try to sign a worker here and there that already has some good popularity.

I set The Canadian Blondes (Savage and Golden) to turn.


The first event on the schedule is MAW The Rip Cord Invitational. So, everything I just said goes out the window for the first card. I'm going to go to the feds I have worker agreements with, sign their best 8 workers to 1 appearance contracts and put them in a tournament.

After that, MAW only has 1 other event scheduled so I'll have to come up with some events.

But first, a more detailed look at my roster

[sabotai]

MAW Roster

Antonio
Lightweight Regular Wrestler
Skills: C- Mat, Ds in everything else
Physical: Stamina C+, Athleticism C
Performance: D to C+.
Sex Appeal C, Star Quality C
Face B- / Heel A
Popularity: F+

Note: Protege of Rip Cord. I can probably put him in the ring with anyone, but he needs to improve quite a bit to get a serious push.

Cameron Vassey
Middleweight Regular Wrestler
Skills: C- Brawling, Ds in everything else except E in Aerial
Entertainment: Mic C-, Charisma C-
Physical: Toughness B-, Stamina C, Athleticism C-
Performance: C to B+, D in Safety
Sex Appeal C+, Star Quality C
Face D+ / Heel C+
Popularity: F+

Note: Half of C-V-2. Will probably be the main enemy of The Canadian Blondes

Casey Valentine
Middleweight Regular Wrestler
Skills: Brawling C, Chain C-
Entertainment: Mic C+, Charisma C, Acting C+
Physical: Athleticism B, Stamina B, Power C-
Performance: C to B
Sex Appeal C+, Star Quality C
Face E+ / Heel B
Popularity: F+

Note: The other half of C-V-2. The better half, it would seem. He is a little less "all-around" than Vassey. His skills could use working on, but he will be better for angles and has stamina, so he can protect Vassey in longer matches. Both are young, but Valentine looks to have more potential. He is another protege of Rip Cord.

Citizen X
Lightweight Regular Wrestler
Skills: Aerial C, Flashiness C
Entertainment: Mic B-, Charisma B, Acting B
Physical: Athleticism C, Stamina C-
Performance: C to B-
Sex Appeal C-, Star Quality C
Face D+ / Heel A
Popularity: E Mid Atlantic, E- rest of US

Note: Will put on really good interviews and angles along with good aerial matches.

Curtis Jenkins
Lightweight Technician
Performance: E+ to C
Face D / Heel A
Popularity: F

Note: Pushed as an opener, his Selling is E+. You are not much use to me as an opener if you can't sell. Don't expect him to be around long.

Erik Strong
Lightweight Cruiserweight
Skills: Aerial C-, Flashiness C+
Entertainment: Mic C-, Charisma C+
Physical: Athleticism B-, Stamina C+
Performance: C to B+
Star Quality B
Face B+ / Heel B-
Popularity: E

Note: Seems like a natural rival for Citizen X.

Findlay O'Farraday
Big Heavyweight Brawler
Entertainment: Charisma C+
Physical: Athleticism C, Toughness B, Power B
Performance: E+ to C
Menace B
Face D- / Heel B
Popularity: F

Note: Another worker with E+ for Selling, this time pushed as a Lower Midcarder We'll see.

Flash Savage
Small Cruiserweight
Skills: Aerial D, Flashiness C
Entertainment: Charisma C+, Acting B-
Physical: Athleticism C
Performance: D- to B
Sex Appeal C+, Star Quality C-
Face B / Heel B+
Popularity: F+

Note: One half of The Canadian Blondes.

Huey Cannonball
Lightweight Spot Monkey
Physical: Athleticism C-
Performance: D to B-
Sex Appeal C-
Face C / Heel A
Populairty: F

Note: Not sure he'll fit in with MAW as a spot monkey. Not much skills to go with it. At least can somewhat sell (D+).

Jack Avatar
Middleweight Regular Wrestler
Skills: Brawling B+, Puroresu C+, Hardcore C-, Aerial B-, Flashiness B-, Mat B-, Chain B+, Submissions B-
Entertainment: Mic B-, Charisma B, Acting B-
Physical: Athleticism A*, Toughness B+, Stamina A, Power C+
Performance: B to A
Sex Appeal B, Star Quality A*
Face A* / Heel E
Popularity: D+

Note: Since condors said what I wanted to hear (:D), I'll use Jack Avatar. Besides, one worker can't make an enitre fed do well so it's not like I can just use him and not try.

Jefferson Stardust
Lightweight Regular Wrestler
Entertainment: Charisma C+
Physical: Athleticism C+, Stamina C-
Performance: E to B-
Sex Appeal C, Star Quality C
Face B / Heel B+
Popularity F-

Note: Terrible worker but one thing. Selling (B+). As Enhancement Talent, that'll do.

Randy Maxx (as Max Mayhem)
Lightweight Cruiserweight
Skills: Aerial C-, Flashiness C+
Sex Appeal C-
Face B+ / Heel B+
Popularity: F

Note: Absolutely terrible.

Mean Jean Cattley
Middleweight Technician
Skills: Mat C+, Chain C+, Submissions C
Entertainment: Mic C, Charisma C+, Acting C-
Physical: Athleticism C+, Toughness C, Stamina B-
Performance: C+ to A, Selling D+
Face B / Heel A
Popularity: E+

Note: Good overall talent. I'll probably have him fued for the title for awhile. He has a tag team with Al Coleman named "Bad Attitude". I may bring Coleman in at some point and make them the top tag team if I sign a few top guys and it starts to get crowed in my Main Eventers section.

Oscar Golden
Lightweight Regular Wrestler
Skills: Aerial D+, Flashiness C, May C-
Physical: Athleticism C+, Toughness C-
Performance: D- to B+
Sex Appeal B, Star Quality B-
Face B- / Heel B+
Popularity: F+

Note: The other half of The Canadian Blondes. The ladies like him.

Ricky Douglas
Middleweight Regular Wrestler
Physical: Stamina C
Performance: D+ to B+
Face B- / Heal B+
Popularity: F+

Note: Not much to say. Barely a servicable worker that automatic pushes put at Midcard.

Riley McManus
Middleweight Technician
Entertainment: Charisma C
Physical: Athleticism B, Stamina C-
Performance: E- to C
Face B- / Heel C
Popularity: F-

Note: Another worker barely worth any time.

Bulldozer Brandon Smith (as The Masked Patriot)
Heavyweight Puroresu
Skills: Brawling C+, Puroresu B-, Chain C
Entertainment: Mic C+, Charisma B-, Acting C+
Physical: Athleticism C+, Toughness B+, Stamina B, Power B
Performance: Basics B, Phsych C, Safety E, Consistency A, Selling E
Star Quality B, Menace B-
Face B+ / Heel B
Popularity: F+

Note: Because of the lack of faces in MAW, he'll get a massive push. So massive that I won't try to make him use his inabilty to sell. However, I don't expect him to stick around long.

[sabotai]

Owner Goals

#1: I must improve the financial balance to at least $200,000. I have 2 years to do this so I need to make money and lots of it. (Critical)

#2: Antonio must be kept above C+ momentum. I have 18 months for that. This will be hard. (High)

#3: Casey Valentine needs to be at B- momentum when the time expires. I have 18 months. (High)

#4: Can not hire anyone with Industry Reputation of less than D-. 12 months (Average)

#5: I can't hire anyone classified as a Psychopath. 32 months. (Average)



I started signing workers for the tournament. They all are more popular than my guys, so they all want promies of titles and merchandise and such. No one wants to sign a 1 Appearance contract, either.

I'm signing them all to 9 months deals and promising them whatever. The supernova that goes off when I terminate them all will be hilarious. :D Well, technically, I can just keep them signed and just not use them. They might not even get pissed about not being used since I only do monthly cards.

The 8 workers that will fight in the tournament are

Faces: Steve Flash, Whistler, Donnie J and Ultimate Pheonix
Heels: Teddy Powell, Rick Sander, Jumbo Jackson and Black Hat Bailey

The first round matchups:

Ultimate Pheonix vs. Teddy Powell
Donnie J vs. Rick Sanders
Whistler vs. Jumbo Jackson
Steve Flash vs. Black Hat Bailey

In other news, Erik Strong will also defend his title against Mean Jean Cattley.

Final Rating: C-

For a Small fed, a C- is pretty big.

I ended up only losing $6k in January. I got a lot in sponsor money, a little over $16k (twice as much as I did with NWH), so that covered quite a bit.

Even though he signed for $2k per show, I'm going to keep Steve Flash on the roster. I definitely will not use him every show, only once every 3-4 months to ensure I get a good match on the card when I feel I may have put together a weak show.

Ultimate Phoenix signed for $1k per show (the rest of them signed for $1500 or $2000 per show). I might be able to afford to keep him and use him regularly. I'm going to give it a few months of shows before I start using him, but I'm going to keep him on my roster until I decide if I can afford to use him every show or not.

[sabotai]

Balance: $99,809
Feb. Net: +$5,867

At that pace for net gain, I'll clear $200,000 with a bit to spare. Unfortunately, it's not quite enough to get Steve Flash any time. However, Ultimate Phoenix should be able to compete once every 2-3 shows.

The angles may have rated badly, but at least the Canadian Blondes are faces now and I can move on with the tag team division.

Final Rating: D

Holy crap, a B- match! I'm sure that helped, but it was probably also counter productive in that it overshadowed the main event. They will have a rubber match at next month's event as the main event as I'll give Strong a month off from defending the title.

Velocidad needs help with Psychology, so I put him as the Road Agent for the dark match to see what that will do. Since I don't allow myself to use the editor to see the exact percentages, it'll take some time before I see improvement.

Rip Chord was a 3rd announcer for the championship match.

[sabotai]

Balance: $114,402
April Net: +$6,741

I've made $20,460 in profit since February, an average of $6,820. I should reach $200,000 balance by the beginning of summer next year.

My popularity in Mid Atlantic went from F+ to E- last month. Importance is F+ in Mid Atlantic, I need to get that to E+ to make Regional, so I've still got a ways to go. An E- will probably mean more filled seats, though.

Note: Rip Chord's son. He signed for $1000 PPA, and a promise of a title. I think he requested Midlevel, but I only have main event and tag (which technically is midlevel). I promised a main event title. I figured it'd be a bit unrealistic to not bring him in and give him whatever he wanted. Makes up a bit for me using a free worker with loads of talent (me).

I also went into the game editor and made him loyal to MAW. Again, for realism's sake When he gains a lot of pop, and I'm still too small to justify keeping him, then I edit it out. But for now, he's the son of the owner of the fed, and a rookie worker. He should stay for awhile to learn from his hall of fame father. He, of course, goes into Rip Chord's School.

NOTBW already got a PPA contract with him, though. That may cause schedule conflicts.

Antonio has gotten up to a B momentum, so I can have him go back to beating jobbers for the next few months and clear his goal.

Valentine I sorta forgot about. He needs a few big wins in the next 3 months in order to get his momentum up to B-. It's currently at D+, and I don't think it's going to happen.

I tried to renegotiate Jay Chord's contract, but after the second offer, he became frustrated and left. I can always get at least a 3rd, usually a 4th, offer on the table before they leave. condor's was right, this guy is a total punk.

Rip Chord extended his deal anyway.

Two straight months of just over $7,000 profit. I only need to make about $3500 profit per show the rest of the way.

Antonio's win over me should solidify him at B momentum. Casey Valentine is up to a C-. He's going to get two more big wins, but I doubt he'll make it to B-. We'll see.

Time to get a real feud between Jay Chord and Jack Avatar going now that it's been 3 months since our last match. Alternating between tag matches and singles matches for the title should do the trick for awhile.

When we last saw the MAW, Jack Avatar was feuding with Jay Chord. I have been getting a good boost due to their fights, but I think the time has gone to "release" Jay Chord. I edited his record so that he is now not loyal to the MAW. I have no idea how much longer he'll be around, but I'll keep booking him until he's gone to get as much out of him as I can.

It's been awhile and I have a lot to relearn about my workers.

Duke Hazzard left MAW. Rip Chord will be taking over as the fulltime colour commentator,

I'm also going to be cutting more workers from the roster. Ultimate Pheonix is gone. I have too many workers at the top and not enough at the bottom and middle. I need to a few workers, even if they are expensive, to serve as midcarders to help make my stars look better and to teach the young guys how to work.

My first $10k+ profit month, although the last few months have been close. Even though I do want to make sure I don't go overboard, I think it's time to bring in at least 1 "star" (relatively speaking) to the fed. I'm thinking maybe Steve Flash, since he looks good against anyone and can make anyone look good, but that will cost me $1.5k per show. I'm still going to think it over some, possibly wait until Jay Chord finally gets signed away before I start a new "era" of MAW.

The Masked Patriot is leaving. He signed his 4th PPA contract this month, and will be ditching us to concentrate on the other 3. I didn't really have any plans for him, and it frees up $450 per show.

Dewey Libertine is out new referee.

I've made a calculated risk in ignoring Rip Chord's goals for Antonio. After Jay Chord left, Rip Chord gave me a second Antonio goal. I think I've built up enough good will to buy myself some time forgetting about Antonio. His momentum is down to a C-, and it'll be difficult to raise it back up, so I'm not worrying about it.

[condors]

Hugh de Aske = ratings

He has always been a good signing for me as long as I have him.

I push Antonio and Casey Valentine due to their loyalty and anyone who becomes loyal due to backstage incidents.

looking forward to the future :popcorn:

Rare card that gets all workers (except Vassey who was working elsewhere tonight).

[sabotai]

Balance: $237,292
Profit: ($2,644)

Lost a bit of money on our card the featured every worker that was available. I was thinking of trying to restart the tag team division, but it'll cost me a bit more each month.

Looks like I'm losing Erik Strong. I didn't get him his mid-card title fast enough and now that he's in his last week, I can't renegotiate. I'll see about resigning him in a few months.

I think it's time to start giving Edward Cornell a push. He has the skills, he just needs to get a few wins to increase his popularity. I pushed him up to Lower Midcarder and will give him a couple of wins over Shane Nelson, Velocidad and Flash Savage to get him started. Perhaps tag him up with someone in a few matches to see if I can find him a tag partner.

We've made it to Regional status. Hurray!

We took in over $40k in sponsor money thanks to the rise in Size. In order to reach Cult status, we need to get a D Importance in 2 regions. We are E+ in Mid Atlantic, so it's only 2 grade jumps there. However, we're F- everywhere else, which means I've got some work to do, including planning on which region I'm going to go after.

Tri State - New York City Wrestling and Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling.

South East - United States Pro Wrestling

Great Lakes - No fed based there.

Tri State is a region with 100% importance, meaning my Importance rating will increase with my Popularity. But, I'll have to compete with 2 feds in a regional battle most times I go there.

South East has a 90% importance. The Mid Atlantic region has an importance of 85%, so 90% would still be a bit easier. One fed to compete with, but it's also a Cult fed, so I would not be in a Regional battle with them unless they fell in size. I already have a few workers that have a good bit of popularity in the South East

Great Lakes - 85% Importance. No one's there so there's very little chance of a Regional Battle happening there.

I could, of course, take my chances and do battle in the Tri State region, but if I keep losing those battles when I go there, it'll set me back and waste my time, especially if I can just go into the South East or Great Lakes and not worry about there. (I'm not sure if a Worker Agreement, which I have with both of them, will negate the damage done if I lose the battle.)

(I'm sticking to those three regions since they border the Mid Atlantic region.)

And possible the most important part of getting to Regional size is that it opens up the chance to get a TV show. I can try for one next month.

Plus he has to have a midcard title, which I doubt will be a problem. I could make him an enemy of Jack Avatar or team him with The Natural (The Can-Am Blondes). Either way, he'll get a title and be a big part of the fed's future.

I got Art Reed to sit down to talks as well, except he wanted $2000 PPA and $1500 downside. I thought good and long on this one. I did not want to spend this much. I know we got a huge bump in sponsor revenue, so I can probably afford it. Time will tell and I can easily scale back if I spent too much this month. Still, with the popularity of Love and Reed, they may end up covering the costs of their contracts in the extra tickets they are sure to sell. Plus, even if it hurts, I need guys who are popular in other regions to help me expand out.

Just a heads up do not rush to Cult you want to keep strong in your region and run shows when you can afford it in other regions but you want to build up everywhere. PPV is more important than tv show. PPV money is what will make or break you when your at cult as your expenses get alot higher.

don't want see maw go bankrupt ! kutgw!

[sabotai]

Yeah, at first I was thinking of just invading one region, but I remember how much effort it was to try to keep CGC going because of the costs.

Right now, I'm thinking of starting bimonthly (every two months) small, 1 hour long shows and rotating between Great Lakes, South East and Tri-State for now just to get some popularity increases there.


Sonuvabitch I did it again. I forgot about Mean Jean's title run, and I'm not going to be able to get him a title in enough time to renegotiate. So I guess I'm going to lose him too...

Citizen X, 4 months left, Midcard title promise
Omar Brown, 7 months left, Midcard title promise
Owen Love, 6 months left, Midcard title promise

Ok, those are the title promises I have remaining.

The Natural signed a written deal with NOTBW. The Can-Am Blondes in MAW are finished. Maybe I can find Owen Love another partner, but if The Natural signed a written deal, one might soon follow for Owen Love. Maybe I should get my money's worth from him and have him fight a 3 match series with Jack Avatar now.

Cameron Vessey is also gone. He signed with another fed and ended up with 4 contracts, so he ditched us.

Owen Love signed a PPA with NOTBW, so he'll be staying with us for awhile.

For the first time in a long time, I did not get the "it should increase our popularity" message after a card (the main one). I did have South East go up to an F in Importance, so that's a plus.

Updated Owner Goals

Critical: MAW must not have fallen below #31 in the promotion rankings. (Sounds like an endorsement to start spending money to increase our popularity)

Average (3 Goals): Must not extend a contract or sign a worker that has less than a D- in Stamina, Toughness or Industry Reputation.

That means Flash Savage will be gone (E+ Toughness). I also have a few workers at D- Toughness, so I guess they barely make the cut.

[condors]

Jesse Christian and Omar Brown don't seem to click, and it made for an awkward bout

that kinda sucks

hopefully you get some unexpeced good chemistry soon!

[sabotai]

He has bad chemistry with Brown, de Aske and Cornell. He's running out of options. I'm going to turn him heel and see how does.

[sabotai]

New Workers

Adgee Cross
Nothing special. He's a jobber with good Selling (B-).

Matt Sparrow
High Flyer with good Performance ratings. Start him off at as a face Midcard.

And we welcome back Mainstream Hernandez.

I also tried to sign Shawn Gonzalez, who still thinks MAW is not big enough. Also, Eddie Chandler and Jack DeColt, both unemployed, did not want to come to the US.

[condors]

run an angle filtered for turns and you should get a handle turns button make sure you click on that it is easy to ok and miss it.

Looks like your getting some good matches from your top guys though.

Hopefully some of your lower guys can raise their game by working with them.
