TEW 08: C-Verse '97

[sabotai]

My 3rd TEW dynasty. My first one was CGC, which I completely messed up and it ended up being a "learning" dynasty for me. The second one, MAW, got a bit boring. Using Jack Avatar made it a bit too easy.

So this time, I choose a different avatar and I am using the Cornellverse '97 Mod 2.0 that I found on GDS's forum.

The avatar I chose was: Pepper Vain (Not sure, but I think he was made for the mod - he doesn't come with the vanilla database). A so-so, young worker with not much in way of overall talent. He has a B- Star Quality, B Selling, C+ Athleticism. I'll be treating him like a long-term project. I'll slowly try to improve his skill, especially his Entertainment skills which are in the Ds.

My Long Term Plan
I don't plan on staying with CZCW for the entire game. My plan is to 1) Improve "me". 2) Work my booking reputation to High 3) Move to a more mainstream, modern entertainment promotion or create my own.

The reason I took a low skilled but young avatar and an already created promotion was because I would like to "prove" myself to the C-Verse before starting a new fed out of nowhere. Seems more realistic and interesting that way. So this isn't just about running a fed, but developing a specific worker (me) from an 18 year old on the indie circuit to as high as I can take him (with an obvious rule to not ruin a fed by making me a main eventer long before I should).

First Order of Business

Owner Goals

Goal #1: When the time expires, CZCW must have improved upon its promotion ranking of #18 (23 months, 3 weeks - Critical)

Goal #2: You can not hire or extend the contract of any wrestler who has less than D- in Basics (23 months, 3 weeks - Average)

Goal #3: You can't hire any wreslter over the age of 42 (23 months, 3 weeks - Average)

Goal #4: You can not hire or extend the contract of any wrestler who has less than D- in Psychology (19 months, 3 weeks - Average)


The 3 goals for hiring workers will be easy enough. Gaining ranking, especially if a few more feds happen to be created, will be tough.

There are several promotions in the Mid Atantic, Tri State and New England area so hopefully they beat the hell out of each other and leave me alone out here on the west coast.

The one thing about TEW is that, I think, development of workers is entirely based on how they are used and there's no set "Potential" rating. So even if I sign someone like Black Eagle (who I already asked for negotiations), there's no guarentee that he develops into what he is in the default universe. He does have pretty good ratings as it is, but some of his attributes are 20-30 points (in the data) lower in '97 than in the defualt Cornellverse.

[sabotai]

Several days after getting the initional 4 goals, owner Cliff Anderson sent me another

Goal: CZCW must not fall below Small size at any point (23 months, 3 weeks - Critical)

New Workers

Daniel Cano
20 yo Lightweight Luchador. Good Perfromance ratings, except Psych is D. But that's it. Will be a good jobber I think. (Lower Midcarder)

Electro
21 yo Lightweight luchador. Very good Performance ratings, plus some Technical ability. B+ Star Quality, B- Athleticism and C Stamina. Already is making waves in Mexico and has E- Popularity in the States. (Upper Midcarder)

Eclipse
32 yo Small Super Junior. Pretty good Performance ratings as well as decent Flying and Tehcnical skills. B- Athleticism and B- Stamina. A very solid worker. (Upper Midcarder)

Black Eagle
22 yo Lightweight Super Junior. Decent to "ok" Performance ratings. Good Flying Skills (C Aerial, B- Flashiness). Good Physical (B- Athleticism, C Toughness, B Stamina). B- Sex Appeal and B+ Star Quality. Still a very unknown worker as he has F Popularity in the States. A good worker, but not the guy I knew (well, will know in 10 years during my CGC experiment). If he's going to become the star I want him to, he's going to need some work on his Performance and Flying abilities. (Midcarder)

Blue Sky
21 yo Lightweight Cruiserweight. Blue Sky eventually becomes Ultimate Phoenix, someone that made an appearance in my MAW dynasty. Like Black Eagle, though, he has solid ratings, but is not quite the top main eventer that most know him as. Unlike Black Eagle, he's already begun to gain some popularity, but he's going to need some work on his ratings. (Upper Midcarder).

And that does it for my additions to the roster. We'll see where we go from here.

[sabotai]

A few notes before the first card.

I changed Black Eagle to use his alter ego "Plague"

The rest of the staff
Rock Downpur - Announcer
Arnold Westberry - Road Agent
Cliff Anderson - Colour Commentary (and Owner)
Preston Holt - Personality (Strong Friendship with Cliff Anderson. Also the owner of Rapid Pro Wrestling - CZCW and RPW have a "Worker Agreement")
Shane Stones - Referee

And I will start off with trying to match size and styles between workers to see how they perform in the ring and then go from there.

CZCW New Year's Bash
January Week 3, 1997

Venue: The Piper Casino (300 Att.)

Match: Enrique Sanchez defeated Tate Lyall in 3:43 by pinfall. (E-)
The announcing quality lifted the match. The colour commentary gave the match a boost. This match brought the crowd's mood down. Tate Lyall is improving in Technical skills.

Match: Plague defeated Flying Jimmy Foxx in 4:35 by pinfall with a New Jersey Turnpike.
The announcing quality lifted the match. This match brought the crowd's mood down. Flying Jimmy Foxx is improving in Performance skills.

Alex Braun comes down to the ring. He takes a microphone and starts talking to the crowd, before eventually getting interupted by Human Arsenal. They have a big argument, going back and forth on the microphone, before agreeing to face each other later on in a singles match. (E)

Match: Eléctrico defeated Pepper Vain in 6:13 by pinfall with an Electric Shock. (E+)
Pepper Vain seemed off his game tonight. The announcing quality lifted the match. The colour commentary gave the match a boost. This match brought the crowd's mood down.

Fumihiro Ota makes defence number 1 of his CZCW SoCal Championship title. Chris Perkins is improving in Technical skills. Chris Perkins is improving in Flying skills.

Final Rating: D

The show was a success. I love that the bar is set so low for Small feds.

Good news, I did not get any "they have no chemistry" notes. Bad news, I did not get any "they have great chemistry" notes. I wonder if my Road Agent is not good enough to see it if it's there.

The main event was a let down, but I knew there was a risk in how I booked it. I'm not sure I like having Ota as champion. I definitely want to get the title into Alex Braun's hands. He and Human Arsenal had a good match so they might be a good option for my first feud.

There was an incident between Arnold Westberry and Rock Downpour after the show. I gave Arnold Westberry a Stern Warning. He said "Whatever". I said "You're fired.". Holt will take over as Road Agent.

Never done the C-Verse but on GD forums it seems like CZCW is a popular fed. Can you do me a favor and run down the 5 biggest guys in the C-Verse. I think I remember Tommy Cornell but that's it.

This is awesome stuff already though Sabby, very intrigued. Keep it up.

[sabotai]

In the default C-Verse (set in present day), the biggest active names in the North America are Tommy Cornell, Sean McFly and Dan Stone Jr. Cornell being with TCW, McFly with SWF and Stone Jr. with NOTBPW. Other big names in the US (by popularity) are Christian Faith, Steve Frehley, Ricky Dale Johnson and Remo Richardson.

In the Mod I am using (starts in 1997), the 23 year old Sean McFly is already one of the best workers with 1 reign as SWF champion already under his belt. Dan Stone Jr. is also already at superstar status, being ranked #2 in the 1996 Power 100. Tommy Cornell is a very talented 18 year old that is signed with SWF, but still isn't very popular. I'm interested to see how he develops in this alternate universe.

As for the top of the top in 1997, Rip Chord is still active at 47 and just won the SWF title. 50 year old Sam Strong is active with HGW. Nemesis, Sam Keith and Bruce The Giant are all big stars in the US. Christian Faith is in his prime.

CZCW Fast and Furious
February Week 1, 1997

Venue: The Piper Casino (300 Att.)

Match: Troy Tornado defeated Pepper Vain in 7:41 by pinfall with a Star Maker. (E)
Troy Tornado seemed off his game tonight. Troy Tornado and Pepper Vain just don't click at all, and it showed in their performances. The announcing quality lifted the match. The colour commentary gave the match a boost. This match brought the crowd's mood down.

Match: Blue Sky defeated Daniel Cano in 8:09 by pinfall with a Phoenix Firebird Splash. (D-)
Blue Sky and Daniel Cano have pretty good chemistry, and it lifted the match. The announcing quality lifted the match. This match brought the crowd's mood down.

Match: Tayler Morton defeated Chris Perkins in 7:52 by pinfall with an Acid Rain Bomb. (D-)

Match: Human Arsenal defeated Nathan Priest in 10:41 by pinfall with an Ammo Dump following interference from Dog Fyte. (D-)
Human Arsenal and Nathan Priest don't seem to click, and it made for an awkward bout.

SoCal Title Tables Match: Alex Braun defeated Fumihiro Ota in 16:37 when Fumihiro Ota was put through a table. (C-)
Alex Braun wins the CZCW SoCal Championship title. Fumihiro Ota was really off his game tonight.

Final Rating: D+

Got a few chemistry notes. Daniel Cano will help get some overness for Blue Sky. I have to keep Human Arsenal and Nathan Priest away from each other as well as keep me out of the ring with Troy Tornado.

For the C-Verse vets, the Taylor Morton vs. Chris Perkins match may become a collectible at some point. Taylor Morton becomes Acid (and that change may come very soon), Chris Perkins becomes The Insane Machine. (And another fyi, Nathan Priest is Whippy The Clown)

Alex Braun now has the title and I plan to have him keep it for awhile. I may have him drop it to someone else for a month or two as a token to, say, Human Arsenal or another worker than has multiple matches vs. Braun. That's the plan, anyway.

Taylor Morton changes to Acid with a Ninja gimmick. That was the only gimmick from the catagory he does well that he could pull off.

I have great chemistry with Blue Sky. Pretty sweet. But I was really hoping Eléctrico and Plague would do good, but they have no chemistry.

A great end to the card with the last two matches getting C- grades.

There was an incident with Dog Fyte after the show. I gave him a warning and he seemed to get the message.

To correct a mistake in a post above, Rip Chord is the current champion of HGC, not SWF. In the SWF, Sam Keith has been champion since May 1996 and still has the title after 5 defences so far this year. Rip Chord won the HGC in January.

Final Rating: C-

4 or the first 5 matches got the "don't click" message. I and Nathan Priest had off nights. Not an overall good card, but at least we finished strong to get a good final rating.

Plague and Acid didn't get a "don't click" message for tag teaming, so I may push them as my best tag team. If I am going to have a Tag division at all, it can not be led by The Gilbert Brothers. I may look for another team either in promotion or bring in a few more workers.

Forgot to change the run time of the precreated events to 1 hour and 30 minutes (from 2 hours). So I had 1 more match than I would have liked on the card which sent me in the red. No matter, as long as I keep it around $250,000, I should be good. No financial goal does mean I can spend more liberally, but when it comes time to make a push to the next level, I'd like to have a good deal of cash on hand to cover expenses when I attempt to move into new regions.

Flex & Pecs win the CZCW SoCal Tag Team titles. Pecs was really off his game tonight. Pecs was visibly tiring toward the end. Jesse Gilbert was visibly tiring toward the end. Joe Gilbert was exhausted by the end. The match was too long given who was involved.

Match: Human Arsenal defeated Silver Shark in 13:55 by pinfall while using the ropes for leverage. (C)
Human Arsenal is improving in Performance skills.

SoCal Title Match: Alex Braun defeated Dog Fyte in 20:46 by pinfall with a Braun Damage.(D)
Dog Fyte seemed off his game tonight.

Final Rating: D

Still a success, but a disappointing Main Event. Dog Fyte won't be getting another shot for some time. Human Arsenal and Silver Shark will be taking turns in title fights for a bit.

A couple of improvements. I improve in Rumble and Nathan Priest and Human Arsenal both imporve in Performance.

Preston Holt got into it with a fan after the event. I went easy on him since he's friends with the owner, but I'll need to keep an eye out for him.

Ota could use something to freshen his character, but I'm not sure what. He's a ninja. That's what he is!

Preston Holt got into another incident, this time with Tate Lyall. I read him the riot act and he didn't seem to care. Next time I bring the hammer down (a fine or something).

Alex Braun was making $800 a show. Since I'm hovering around breaking even, I'll go as high as $1000 PPA to find another Main Eventer.

Final Rating: D-

Ouch. Not a good card at all, and yet, still a success. I really thought Silver Shark and Blue Sky would make a really good final. I don't think the storyline helped, and now that I think about it, storylines probably aren't updated until after the card is over. If that's the case, then it wouldn't help at all.

Acid and Plague are the new Tag champions. They will probably keep them for awhile.

Signed new worker Sammy Bach to a $350/PPA 9 Month deal. He's going to be a superstar, probably soon, and I'd like to try to get some good rated matches from him before one of the big promotions sign him away.

I also signed Spanish Superfly, a very talented Mexican worker who hasn't had much exposure to the US market yet. He signed for $900/PPA for 9 months and will be an Upper Midcarder Face.

Signed Pablo Rodriguez, the "Priest of Pain". He signed for $800/PPA for 9 months and will be a Midcarder Heel.

Both Superfly and Rodriguez both will likely shoot up to Main Event in a few months time.

As a result from the recent signings, I have to trim some of the roster. Dog Fyte, Clark Alexander and Fumihiro Ota have been let go. Alexander didn't seem to fit with the rest of the promotion. I've also liked Dog Fyte, but he doesn't really fit with the product either. Ota, unfortunately, just isn't the worker that Silver Shark, Human Arsenal or the new guys are. He was a victim of just too much roster. I will likely bring him back if Superfly or Rodriguez are signed away.

Relationships: Blue Sky has become friends with Black Eagle (Plague) and Taylor Morton (Acid). Pecs has also become friends with Nathan Priest.
Tommy Cornellhas left the SWF. No word on why. He is touring with BHOTWG right now.

[condors]

good luck, I will be reading...have to bring my sign Ota=ratings to the events. I love Ota in the default universe. Have not played the 97 mod but since i always played DAVE in earlier versions of the game maybe i should try it out. Acid + Plague do they have any personalty problems backstage as in the default data both sometimes cause problems and even though they both end up main eventers for me sometimes refuse to resign due to backstage issues. KUTGW!

[sabotai]

So far, nothing bad from Plague or Acid. Preston Holt is the only problem I have right now. My backstage is Very Harmonious. It looked like I might have a problem with Dog Fyte, but turns out he didn't fit well in CZCW for I cut him loose. Holt will be gone soon, too.

Nathan Priest, Pablo Rodriguez and Roger Rogers are all good presense in the locker room.

In fact, Plague is becoming a popular worker. Good friendships with Blue Sky, Pecs and Shane Stones (referee). Acid is friends with Blue Sky as well. Seems they are playing nice in my world.

Overall, a tiny lost financially but we are very close to reaching Regional.

Update on Critical Goal #1: Improve on #18 ranking. Unfortunately, we dropped to #19, mostly due to the success of other promotions. As long as I keep doing what I've been doing, I should be fine and gain a few spots.

Update on Critical Goal #2: Don't fall below Small. No threat of that happening.

Resigned Shane Stones for $350/PPA for 9 months
Joe Gilbert resigned for $200/PPA for 9 months
Signed The Silence for $100/PPA for 9 months (The Silence is a new worker. He is a 21 year old Lightweight Super Junior.)
Signed Scout for $400/PPA for 9 months (I will also be signing Guide. The two of them just entered the wrestling world and think they'd make a decent mid-level tag team for awhile. Scout is a Light Heavyweight Regular Wrestler)

I can't believe Tommy Cornell would sign with us, but after a tour in Japan, I guess he's looking for a step back into the US. He's also signed with XFW. It's only a matter of time before he leaves, but I'll push him like crazy until he leaves. He signed for $1500/PPA for 9 months, plus $800 Downside.

Tommy Cornell is champion, but he won't hold it long. I'm debating on giving it to Spanish Superfly. Now that I am on TV in Mexico. giving it to Superfly and pushing Pablo Rodriguez might give me some really quick popularity gains there.

I've started to head into the Mexico regions, mainly to try to increase the ratings for the TV show. It's just absolutely dead. I have a feeling we'll be canceled after our 2 seasons. I'm hoping I can cross over and get the show aired on another channel the enxt time TV offers become open.

But for comparison, MPFW and OLLIE, the major Mexican promotions, only pull a 0.06 for thier TV shows.

The Head Booking position for New England Wrestling is open. I thought about applying, since it's an Entertainment promotion and running storylines would be a bit fun, but I decided against it. NEW is in horrible shape and I'm just getting started with CZCW.

[condors]

congrats on the team chemistry now just have to get them experience.

Brady Prince have good consistancy and selling? Had a game where he had great performance ratings (A overall) but never developed as much in other stats so wasn't a main event guy but great undercard guy. Is Ted Brady(Matty Phatty) employed by anyone if so how does he look? (another favorite of mine) the man is the cheeky monkey unique gimmick

Oh if you get to the point of a new promotion I hope you open up your own and take down SWF!

[sabotai]

Brady Prince has B+ Consistency and C Selling, but he just entered the wrestling world so he's going to get better. Matty Phatty is with 4C right now and has good Performance ratings and decent Entertainment ratings, but not much else.

Oh if you get to the point of a new promotion I hope you open up your own and take down SWF!

That's the plan. I'm going to use CZCW to get to a "High" booking reputation so I can start my own fed. I'm at Average now so I will probably get to "High" quickly. I'll probably stay with CZCW to use it as a testing grounds to look for great, cheap workers that have chemistry, and then start my own fed and sign the good workers.

Booya! A B- title match and my first C+ card.

My popularity in the South West is now D-. I don't know if that happened just now or within the last week or 2. Can't remember when I last checked it, but it looks like I'll be in the Grissom Auditorium for now on.

I had Acid and Plague drop the belts so that I can now have them beat the hell out of people every week on my TV show. They are still on relatively cheap contracts ($500 for Acid, $250 for Plague), so having them on my TV show will give me good matches every week for a relatively cheap price.

I didn't even realize it but Scout and Guide are my most expensive tag team...

And even though Tommy Cornell is $1500 a pop, he's also far and away my best worker and I need to get every thing I can out of him. Him dropping the title means I can (realistically) put him on every TV show, even if he fights a $100 jobber 3 out of 4 weeks.

Basically, I need my best talent to not have titles so that I can use them every week on my TV shows. Spanish Superfly, Human Arsenal and Pablo Rodriguez will likely take turns being champion while I thank Tommy Cornell for being our workhorse by not making him champ and jobbing him out when he eventually signs a written deal with someone and leaves us....... :devil:

sabotai,

Just wondering why you wouldn't want the best worker with the title. I have no problem defending the title on a tv show main event even if it against a lower midcarder. Heck i have done Jack Bruce vs Davis Wayne Newton (on his debut match as an enhancement talent) 6 minute match it got a B rating.

I have a bad habbit of putting my top 3 guys and have them fight my job squad (roating jobbers) in the first and last two matches every week on tv.
Throw in angles(building the storylines for the ppv) and tag matches see if anyone is unhappy usually a full show there.

I'm note sure if it matters or works this way, but I'd be worried that the title's prestige level will drop if I have the title defended every week against Lower Midcarders. Even if it doesn't matter, that seems like a bit of "gaming the game".

Final Rating: C

In his first day back at actually doing something for the promotion, Preston Holt got into yet another incident. The hammer falls, he is getting fired.

My booking reputation is now set to "High". I can leave and start my own promotion whenever I want.

And I may do it really soon. I had a lot of fun with my CGC dynasty, even though it was a disaster from the start. MAW was a success, but boring and CZCW is starting to become boring. I think I need to be running an entertainment-style promotion so that I can run plenty of angles and storylines to keep things interesting for me.

I could just simply change CZCW's product, though. If I were to start my own promotion, it would be very similar to CZCW as far as in-ring product goes. Modern, Daredevil, Pure and Hardcore would all be important aspects (Hardcore being the one not high on importance for CZCW). Just a bit more Entertainment with angles and storylines thrown in.

Silver Shark's contract was up for renegotiation, but he was asking for too much so we'll be saying goodbye to him.

Capitao Brasil signs for $900/PPA to be our road agent. Karl leaving turned out to be good since Brasil is better.

....will mean

also make it so we can't get on any Mainstream network

we won't get rocked by industry changes and the 'young lion' system will not be taken into account.


I had started this on "Hard" I think, but it gave me hardly any money and too much, IMO, popularity. So I edited the data to give me $100,000 (for $10,000), but I slashed my Tri-State popularity in half (made it 20%, down from 40%) and eliminated all popularity in the other regions. This made me a Small promotion.

I also waited several months to see if a booking position in a promotion I liked opened up, but it did not. We will be starting in January 1999.

Here is my staff

Referee: Bret Graveson, $800 PPA, C
Road Agent: Garrett Damm, $450 PPA, C+

Roster

Main Eventer
Acid - Heel - Cruiserweight - $700 PPA
Wiley Steinway - Face - Brawler - $800 PPA

Upper Midcarder
Hell Monkey - Face - Puroresu - $150 PPA
Mean Jean Cattley - Heel - Technician - $250 PPA

Midcarder
Kashmir Singh - Face - Regular Wrestler - $150 PPA
Chris Perkins - Heel - Cruiserweight - $150 PPA
Primal Rage - Heel - Brawler - $150 PPA
Rolling Johnny Stones - Face - Technician - $500 PPA

Lower Midcarder
Pepper Vein - Cruiserweight - me
Brady Prince - Regular Wrestler - $150 PPA

Opener
Nathan Black - Technician - $150 PPA


My two Main Eventers cost a lot more, but they have the popularity that will be bringing people to my shows. Johnny Stones costs more as well due to his popularity in UK (doesn't do me good but ti was what he demanded) and his skills (which will do me a lot of good).

My shows will be 2 hours long, since I want to get everyone involved in both matches and angles.

The guys who will be good on the mic for angles
Rolling Johnny Stones
Mean Jean Cattley

The list is short. Everyone will be getting a lot of mic time, though. Since we are small, I can afford some crappy angles (as long as they happen earlier in the show) in order to improve their skills.

The people I really want to work on mic skills are: Pepper Vein, Hell Monkey, Acid and Chris Perkins, so expect to see them boring the crowds a lot.

Hell Monkey just entered the wrestling world as I start me fed, so I'm very happy to have gotten him. BHOPTWG happened to grab him too, but only to a PPA contract. Mean Jean works for PPPW and Rolling Johnny Stones works for ROF. Everyone else is working just for me for now.

I tried to get Black Eagle, but he's on tour in Japan right now so I have to wait.

I'm going to start off with a few standard singles fued storylines. I'm thinking Hell Monkey vs. Acid, Mean Jean Cattley vs. Wiley Steinway and Chris Perkins vs. Rolling Johnny Stones.

One last thing, none of my workers have gimmicks. Since the fans aren't keen on them, I decided to get rid of them. I may start putting them back in for a few workers if it helps. Actually, I'm pretty unclear as to how gimmicks affect workers and match ratings.....

[sabotai]

Two more workers. Both Openers

The Black Knight - Heel - $150 PPA
Dario Shelton - Face - $150 PPA

Shelton especially has very good Performance ratings, but nothing else. He should be a very good opener for me.

The show was a success for my Small fed. Lots of rusty workers.

I had a really hard time filling out 2 hours. I need a larger roster, that's for sure. More lower talent to get beat up by the several "stars" that are in storylines and to be able to make a few filler matches.

New Faces

Sabbath - A big heavyweight "psychopath" who has ability on the mic. He is rated a C on Mic, Charisma and Acting. Downside is that he has hardly any in-ring ability. E across the board in Performance, D+ in Brawling and Hardcore. I'll have him in dark matches to try and improve his in-ring ability. It may be a few months before I use him. I may use him as a bodyguard-like role in a storyline. $150 PPA

Daniel Cano - Another worker brought over from my year with CZCW. The luchadore worker will start off as a face. $100 PPA + $100 travel

Apprentica Jr. - Heel , another worker from CZCW. $100 PPA + $63 travel

Tate Tyall - Heel - $150 PPA

And I wanted a few more Independent names to help fill the roster.

Eclipse - Yes, another CZCW guy. $800 PPA

Vin Tanner - Hardcore performer who has good Performance ratings. $900 PPA

Acid and Hell Monkey will become two of my biggest stars. Them having great chemistry makes it so much easier.

Mid Atlantic Regional Battle: DAVE - XWF - NWW - RPW
New England Regional Battle: DAVE - PPPW - NEW - NWW - RPW
Tri State Regional Battle: DAVE - PPPW - NYCW - XFW - NEW - NWW

I'm only really concerned with the Tri State Regional Battle, and that's the one I finish last on.

Since it's been over 2 years since I started, here is the state of the wrestling world.

Supreme Wrestling Federation (SWF) is still at Global and the ruler of the wrestling world. Sam Keith defended the SWF title 15 times before losing it to Jim Force (Ultimate Warrior-like worker) in Feb. 1998. Force would defend it 14 times before dropping it to the current champion Mr. Supreme. Mr. Supreme is a 30 year old drunk. He's one of the best when sober, but gets in trouble with the law.

The only National level promotion (no International Level promotions) is Pride Glory Honor Wrestling (PGHW) in Japan. Current champion is 42 year old puroresu Koryusai Kitoaji.

At Cult level, we have 5SSW (All-Female promotion), BHOTWG (Puroresu Japan), CGC (Sports Entertainment - Canada), GCG (Pure Old School - Japan), HGC (Sports Entertainment - US), MPWF (Lucha Libre - Mexico), and NOTBW (Classic Wrestling - Canada).

HGC is the #2 promotion, but seem to be falling. They need C+ Importance in 8 regions to get to National, but only have 4. So far, their cards this year have been disappointing. They had B- popularity throughout the US, but have fallen to C+ in a few regions.

Regional Feds: AAA (Women's Entertainment - US), BBW (Garbage Wrestling - Japan), 4C (Underground Action - Canada), DAVE (Cult Entertainment - US), Hinote Dojo (Tradition Puro - Japan), MOSC (Blood, Beer and Brawling - UK), OLLIE (Lucha Libre - Mexico), PPPW (Traditional - US), RPW (Cutting Edge - US), XFW (Origins of Hardcore - US)

DAVE, PPPW, RPW and XFW are my direct competitors who are Regional.

Small promotions: CWF (Women's - Canada), CZCW (Explosive Action - US), MHW (Hardcore Lucha Libre - Mexico), NEW (Entertainment - US), NWW (Modern Entertainment - US), NYCW (Slow Paced Traditional - US), ROF (Rigan Style - UK), SCCW (Traditional - US)

CZCW fel hard when I left. NEW and NYCW are my Small competitors. SCCW, Southern Class Championship Wrestling, is in the South East. I'm sure we'll eventually be battling each other.

I think I can afford one more "major" start at about $1k a month. Plus, I need a few more lower level faces. I've gotten a bit heel-heavy.

Dan Billot - 19 year old face lower midcarder. Has good Consistency and Selling. $150 PPA

The Guru - 30 years old. Has really good Entertainment and Performance skills, but no worker skills (Brawling, Flying or Technical). Hardly any athleticism or stamina. He's signed for $1k, and will probably just use him more in angle than in matches. He's listed as semi-active.

Benjamin Moore - 22 year old, hardly any skills. $100 PPA

Christopher Hart - 24 years old. Better heel than face, but I need faces. He has A* Sex Appeal and A Star Quality, but hardly any ability except C Athleticism and A Power. May have potential to be a decent worker with draw power. $150 PPA

Lucas Hale - 19 year old. Not much ability, but since he's young he could develop to a decent worker. $100 PPA + $114 travel

Alex Braun - 37 year old face Main Eventer. Good entertainment, good performance, good flying skills. $800 PPA.

Final Rating: E+

Booo! At Perkins and Stones not having chemistry. The storyline wasn't going anywhere anyway and I want to get Braun and The Guru into some kind of storyline so that I can use their Microphone skills. The Perkins vs. Stones storyline will die. Both of their momentums are in the toilet so ending it won't do much harm.

Nice to find an opponent to job to Acid. The problem with Acid is that his momentum is really low. So is Wiley Steinway. Vin Tanner, Alex Braun and Eclipse all have a C momentum. Moving the title over to one of them, and having a 4 man storyline with The Guru thrown in sounds good to me.

Oh crap...Several workers are unavailable since they are working with NEW tonight. Not all that much of a problem, but my referee is working with NEW as well!. Even though he has an F- in Refereeing, I grab my Road Agent and put him in stripes for tonight. This will be bad, but canceling the show will be worse. I'll use workers as road agents.

Signed Ernest Mason, $1500 PPA ($800 Downside). D Popularity in Tri State. He has great Performance ratings, good Physical ratings and good Technician ratings. Has terrible Entertainment ratings, so he won't be any help there, but he'll put on great matches.

Our attendance keeps going down even though the game keeps telling me that my popularity is increasing. On closer inspection (looking in the editor), this turns out to be wrong. My popularity is dropping. I need shows in the Ds

If it seems odd that I gave Acid the title out of nowhere, it is because I completely forgot about the Major Title reign promise I made him. I had planned on making Acid vs. hell Monkey be a title feud, but like I said, I forgot...

Anyway, I need to start really planning ahead with this. I keep winging it with each card, and it's getting worse. Acid vs. Hell Monkey had the best match so far (D+), so their feud becomes the "for the title" feud. I'll figure out something with everyone else.

Change of Schedule

I am no longer doing monthly shows. I've switched to doing weekly small shows that will be 1 hour long. The goal is to use any talent that cost more than $150 PPA just once per month. Twice if needed for storyline purposes. The plan for each show: 2 matches vs. lower workers (Os-LMs) to give UMs and MEs momentum, a few angles, 1 match involving two M-UM workers, and 1 main event match. I might bleed money for awhile, but I hope it's not too bad. I've been making a few thousand profit each month, so if this backfires, I'll just switch back to monthly shows.

Storyline Status

My short term plan is to run unchained storylines. The plan is to have 4 running storylines, one or two will be advanced each show. This may get expensive, but I need to try something. Finishing last in the regional battles are preventing me from getting bigger.

4 Storylines broken up as: 1 Storyline centered around the title (the one I feel does better will eventually win the storyline - or the one I know will not jump ship to another promotion will win). 1 centered around two other main eventers (if one does badly, he'll get demoted. The one who does better will probably go into a storyline for the title). 1 centered around a main eventer vs. an upper midcarder (if the ME wins, they stay where they are. If the UM wins, they switch roles). And 1 4-man storyline between 2 Upper Midcarders and 2 Midcarders (the two who do the best, regardless of which side wins, will be Upper Midcarders).

With this system, hopefully, the cream rises to the top and I start getting some really good shows/storylines going. Those not in storylines will appear once or twice a month and win squash matches to build momentum.

Current Storylines

NWW Title Storyline: Acid (c) vs. Hell Monkey. Current Heat: D-. Status: Heading into final match

2 Main Eventers: Alex Braun vs. The Guru. Current Heat: E. Status: Evolved from sotryline with the two of them plus Vin Tanner and Eclipse. Expect lots of angles. In fact, this may be one storyline where I'll have both appear at most shows. Expensive, but the two of them are, by far, the best I have at Microphone and overall Entertainment. I have to use that.

1 ME vs. 1 UM: Vin Tanner vs. Wiley Steinway. Current Heat: - Status: Has not begun

2 UM vs. 2 M: Eclipse and Daniel Cano vs. Tate Lyall and CHris Perkins. Current Heat: - Status: Has not begun

A few Signings/Resignings

Daniel Cano - $150 PPA

Spanish Superfly - $1000 PPA + $740 Travel
Plan is to use him in 1 or 2 shows a month as the main event if his match ratings make it worth it. He needs to build momentum.

Pablo Rodriguez - $1500 PPA + $810 Travel
He already has a D popularity in Tri State, but I fear he'll be too expensive. I'll limit him to 1 show per month to keep costs down.

Rolling Johnny Stones is officially gone. Once he heals up, I'll send him another contract.

Apprentica Jr. - $150 PPA

Tate Lyall - $150 PPA

That damn main event.

And with that, the Tanner vs. Steinway storyline ends. In its place, Pablo Rodriguez vs. Ernest Mason. That's going to be an expensive storyline, but things are looking grim and I need to start getting good card results or this thing will be over quickly.

Steinway's momentum is F+. He just has not got any real push. He's out of the picture for awhile. Vin Tanner is at a D+. A few easy wins and he'll be back in a storyline.

Oh well. Spanish Superlfy already has great momentum (for my promotion, C+). He'll step right into the title picture vs. Acid now. Holl Monkey will be used a lot. I have a feeling he won't be with us all that much longer, and while he's cheap ($500 PPA, cheap for the match ratings he brings in), I want to put him in as many matches as possible.

Wow, I spent too much money. And what's worse, despite having cards rated E+, D-, D and D....I still finished last in the Regional Battle. DAVE has a show rated a C, LAW has a TV show and puts on Cs. XFW had 1 card, a D+. PPPW, a C card. NYCW had a B- card.

I'm starting to think that starting off at Regional with $10,000 is actually easier than starting off at Small with $100,000. At least with Regional you get some semi-stars coming to your pomotion.

Anyway, now that I have the right talent and am putting on some matches in the C ratings, I'm going back to monthly shows. If I really pushed to have C rated weekly shows, which I would need to do, I can't even imagine how expensive that would be since I was $22k in the red for D shows.

But it wasn't a total waste. I filtered out some bad workers, signed some good ones. I have several workers now that I am confident will give me C level matches.

Tri State Regional Battle: 2nd out of 4.

I'm losing Hell Monkey and Pablo Rodriguez as they tour with PGHW. I have other people signed who will be touring, but Hell Monkey and Pablo Rodriguez already had 3 contracts when they agreed to the tour, and I'm the odd fed out. Just as I got going....good thing I didn't give Rodriguez the title.

But there's good news. Black Eagle's contract was not renewed by SWF and now he's here in NWW! Sweet!. I'll spend several shows having him beat up people before I will have him fued with Spanish Superfly, most likely. I was hoping to see how he'd do in a Hell Monkey fued, but that's out unless I happen to snag him when his tour is over.

In Storyline news, the Hell Monkey vs. Rodriguez fued immediately was deleted when they left. I also ended the four-way fued with Chris Perkins, Eclipse, Tate Lyall and Daniel Cano. Everyone will keep their current pushes.

Acid vs. Spanish Superfly - Heat D
The plan was to end this, but since I lose Monkey and Rodriguez, this fued will continue on for awhile longer.

Braun, The Guru and Jave - Heat D-
This will also continue. Braun will get the crap kicked out of him a few times before I evolve it to give him help.

Vin Tanner vs. Troy Tornado - Heat (Not Debuted)
They put on a D- match so maybe a few more will get a bit of heat and some better matches.


The Rest....

Faces: Wiley Steinway, Eclipse, Kashmir Singh, Christopher Hart
Heels: Pepper Vain, Primal Rage, Tate Lyall, Mean Jean Cattley

Each worker will face the 4 opponents on the other side. A few are Upper Midcarders (Steinway and Eclipse), the rest are Midcarders. After they all have their 4 matches, The one face and the one heel with the best average match rating will be given "Upper Midcarder" status. The one on each side with the worst will be taken all the way to "Lower Midcarder" The rest will be "Midcarders".

If the demoted workers don't like it, they can leave. Cream always rises. I will keep doing this every 4 months to try to work up the good workers and push down the bad. I'll probably get Lower Midcarders in the mix to give them a way to work up the ladder.

After the match, Java and The Guru continued to attack Alex Braun, like usual. (E) This time, however, the lights went out and after a few seconds, they came back on to show a menacing figure with a white painted face standing in the ring. Java and The Guru didn't know what to make of it. Java walked up to the newcomer a few times and tried to attack him, but his attacks were thwarted. The Guru and Java left the ring, vowing revenge on the unknown newcomer. (E+)

Final Rating: E+

Alex Braun and The Guru....banned from the main event. At least vs. each other. I may just relegate The Guru to manager status. He has good in ring skills, but he can't last. I guess I can have him fight jobbers, but no more top level matches.

Spanish Superfly was working elsewhere, that is why the lack of a title match. It was originally going to be Acid vs. Superfly, but I had to stick Blue Sky in there. The reason I made Braun vs. Guru the main event after that was because it had more Heat on the Advance Booking screen. My bad.

The menacing figure that showed up was Archangel. For those unfamilair with the C-Verse, basically imagine Crow Sting, but just a white face. His starting gimmick is called "Avenging Angel".

We finished 3rd in the Tri State Regional Battle.

The Black Knight will be leaving. We wanted a bit more than what I was willing to give for a jobber.

We've been shifting back and forth from E- and E Importance in the Tri State region. An E+ gives us Regional status. The good thing about Tri State is that it has 100% Importance, which means once our popularity hits E+, so does our Importance. We're probably still a ways from E+, but I don't want to be constantly shifting between Small and Regional, so once we hit Regional, I need to be ready to make a strong push to give us some breathing room.

It would seem like the world of the SWF has gone completely to hell because they have fallen down to Cult size. Supreme TV was dumped by their UK channel, Canadian channel and Japanese channel. As a result, SWF is only seen in the US now, except one show that is still on in Europe, which they will probably lose soon. Sam Keith, as a result, has been removed as Head Booker.

I'd put my hat in for the job, but their product doesn't fit what I want to do. Mainstream is Key, Traditional and Comedy is Heavy, Cult Medium. That means workers are rated much more on popularity than performance and all workers need proper gimmicks. Not quite my cup of tea. Don't think I'd have too much fun booking a show based more on popularity than talent.

Grayson just entered the wrestling world, but has Ds in US popularity.

More bad news for SWF. Sean McFly, one of the world's best, left the company. He now works on a PPA basis for CGC.

Rolling Johnny Stones is back from injury. He'll probably be in the next batch of 8 who fight for promotion.

I am now down with the Braun/Archangel vs Java/The Guru storyline. That just didn't work out like I'd hope. Archangel and Java not having chemistry in the ring was a real killer, as is The Guru's lack of stamina. I'll probably let The Guru go. Need to put on good matches in this promotion, and despite his in ring Performance talent, he hasn't lived up. Alex Braun is close to being let go as well.

Java....not sure what to do with him. I need to see how Archangel does against the other workers, but he'll be getting plenty of matches in the next several weeks. His Momentum is in the toilet right now, but if it improves, I'll be throwing him into the title picture.

Spanish Superfly is improving in Technical skills. Blue Sky is improving in Rumble skills.

Final Rating: D-

Got a message that I need more storylines. First I need to end the Acid vs. Spanish Superly storyline soon. It's been going on long enough and I need to find a new opponent for Superfly. I think Acid's reigns as champion are over. He's a great worker and puts on great matches, and will continue to get title matches to ensure good main events, but he has no Entertainment skills at all (neither does Superfly, though. :( ). Superfly gets the nod to keep the title since he has better in ring skills than Acid.

Blue Sky does have some Entertainment skills, so he'll be getting a push. As does Archangel, but he needs some momentum work. Blue Sky is at a D-, which is low, but Archangel is at E-, so it's going to be some time before he gets a real Main Event push.

Looking over the possible choices, Java, Vin Tanner and Mean Jean Cattley seem to be the only real options. Java has the same problem as Acid, no Entertainment skills. But he does have a high Menace rating, so I can use that for angles. Vin Tanner could be an option for a brief Storyline, but his only "angle" skill is Acting. He has a C+ in Menace....

And then there's Mean Jean Cattley, who I really want to give a title push to. He doesn't stand out in any one area, he's just a good all around worker. C-A Performance ratings, Cs Technical skills, Cs Entertainment skills.

I think I'll have a few months of Spanish Superfly beating a few of the other heels while Mean Jean starts getting big wins over other UM and MEs to give his Momentum (currently D) a bit more of a boost and then set him up with a hopefully long fued with Spanish Superfly while I have Blue Sky and Acid fued as the set up to title matches on most cards.

And then I need to find a 3rd storyline somewhere. Possibly Archangel vs Vin Tanner or Primal Rage.

We finished last in the Tri State Regional Battle.

I feel like things might be coming together for my promotion now, despite the D card I just put on. Which means my roster will probably get blown up unless I can get to Regional and get on TV. I need to get more popular than my competitors (that aren't all the much bigger/more popular than I am now) so that my workers stop leaving me for them, or at least, start prioritizing my promotion over the others.

Looking over my roster, I see about 4 or 5 faces that can take turns being in the main event picture. Hell Monkey and Spanish Superfly will be the top faces for the most part, with Blue Sky, Eclipse and American Elemental getting in there. Rolling Johnny Stones and Stevie Grayson have potential. As for the bigger guys, Archangel isn't sky rocketed up like I thought, and Whistler will probably bring people in with how popular in the Tri State region he is.

On the heel side, it's a little more slim. Acid has been the steady mean event heel. Mean Jean Cattley is ready. Sabastian Krause and Vin Tanner do good. Java...not sure about. Primal Rage and John Greed could have some potential. I could really use Black Eagle right now...still have a wait a bit before I can bring him back. He's signed to 3 promotions right now.

WLW opens in Japan. Their product is LuchaResu.

It seems like SWF has bounced back. They are signing a lot of talent now and are back to Global status.

Signed Joss Thompson - $300 PPA - Young worker with good Entertainment skills and good potential.

Tough Decisions

I think part of my problem is that not enough workers get seen enough, and that includes the jobbers.

Gregg Boone, Rex Reeves, Dario Shelton, Dan Billot, Benjamin Moore, Troy Tornado, Vin Tanner and Java have all been let go. I'll be making a few more round of cuts soon. I need to cut my roster down to where 80%+ of my roster is on every show, not half. Whistler has also left after signing a written deal with SWF.

The booker position for HGC is open, but for the same reasons as to why I didn't go after the SWF position when it was available, I do not go after this one.

Good News: Black Eagle is back!

Tried to get Shawn Gonzalez, but he wanted too much. First it was more money, travel and merchandise percentage, and when I gave him all of that ($1000 PPA, +$780 travel, +10% merch), he wanted the title. Maybe I should have given in, but fuck it. I may try again in a few months. If I keep hovering around the same point, I probably will.

I've also went and offered Worker Agreements with all other promotions in the US that are Regional or smaller. All accepted except for PPPW and RPW. This will let me to a talent trade.

It may seem a little boring, but having Acid, Hell Monkey, Spanish Superfly and Plague just keep rotating in the Main Event and the lead in match is what I'll probably keep doing until I build up my other workers. Having those last two matches be a C- or better is just too important.

Still looking for some tag prospects. Acid and Plague are too important to the main event right now to take them out and use them as a tag team. I'm going to keep tagging random workers up until I find a few teams that have good chemistry.

November 2001


It may seem a little boring, but having Acid, Hell Monkey, Spanish Superfly and Plague just keep rotating in the Main Event and the lead in match is what I'll probably keep doing until I build up my other workers. Having those last two matches be a C- or better is just too important.


I agree until you have one of the problems of trying to grow a small promotion. If you don't use your top 4 guys in the last 2 matches throw in regional battles and you can actually lose popularity with a decent show.
Not the best for dynasty writing though

We finished 2nd out of 5 in the Tri State Regional Battle. PPPW had a C- show, followed by my D+ shoiw, and then NYCW (D), USPW (D), and lastly XFW (D).


Worker Status

Momentum
Plague C-
Hell Monkey D+
Acid D+
Eclipse D
Spanish Superfly D
Joey Minnesota D

And then down from there. Minnesota has shot up the momentum ladder, and oddly Eclipse is hanging on despite me not doing much with him. I wonder how Joey Minnesota would do with more of a push. Perhaps vs. Hell Monkey to see how he fares. Both have Brawling and Technical skills so it may make for a good match.

Popularity in Tri State (in alphabetical order - with most Openers to Midcarders left off)
Acid D-
Blue Sky E
Bret Biggz E-
Eclipse E+
Hell Monkey D-
Joe Sexy E
Joey Minnesota E-
Matt Sparrow E-
Mean Jean Cattley E
Plague D
Primal Rage E
Rolling Johnny Stones F+
Spanish Superfly E+

I've been trying to improve Stones' popularity but he's stuck at F+. He's a really good worker and if he'd gain some popularity, I know I'd get some really good matches from him.

New Workers

I went out and spent money. I brought in a few popular workers to try to get us over the hump and into steady C shows.

Genghis Rhan - $1500 PPA + $700 downside. Lightweight Psychopath that has a C- popularity in Tri State. I've been waiting for him to drop his 3rd promotion for awhile. Dunno how long this will last. Probably 1 card....

Krusher Karloff - $1500 PPA. Big Heavyweight Brawler. Not very skilled, but has C- popularity in Tri State.

Most of the workers I targeted turned us down, and a few were willing to negotiate, but just were asking for too much. But two popular Tri-State workers may just put us over the top and on the road to Regional.
