I am playing on Journey of Wrestling, a text simulator on the internet. I am doing The Dawn of Ruthless Aggression scenario. It starts in September of 2002. I have created a custom company and I'm going to attempt to rebuild the NWA before the Ruthless Aggression Era gets into full swing. I started with a draft so I don't have the deepest roster nor the most compatible. So it should be fun to see how it starts and where it goes.

Re: National Wrestling Alliance

Now that I've posted three PPV's I'd like to share a few thoughts:

- This is going to be a little harder than I thought. I drafted my roster and it's been tough figuring out the direction I wanna take this. I wasn't able to sign a lot of guys I wanted and kind of had to make due with what was available. After getting Raven I immediately knew I wanted him to be my first champion to start this thing off. Kind of like how Jericho did for AEW. I wanted my first champion to be an established heel and to create a heel faction.

- Right now I'm getting 10 segments a week. So I'm trying to run a balance of 3-4 matches and 6-7 segments a week. I'm trying to limit my initial signees but I think in order for me to be a better booker I need around a 40 man roster. I've noticed my mid card and lower card stories are pretty weak at the moment.

- I plan on trying to have a great build to my marquee event, Starrcade (next PPV). After Starrcade I plan on trying to slow it down a bit more and get a lot more feuds and storylines going, seeing as how I've been pretty main event heavy to start. I have a lot of guys I want to debut soon, with none being out of the ordinary for who I think this promotion could land. This thing might have started out rough around the edges but I think it could round into shape pretty soon.

- Also if anyone is reading this I'm going to start adding a questionnaire for the upcoming PPVs. Person with the most answers can impact the future of NWA whether through matches or storylines.
