Chisoku

This is an ambitious project, and I'm hoping that I can make it work this time. This game started out as a combined Road to Glory and Local to Global, and while I haven't beat either of them yet, I'm a few months away from hitting Titanic most likely, and I have gotten a 100 rated match before, it's just a matter of time before it main events a bit event. Branden Chisoku is my user character (obviously) and when I started him out my intention was to show off a completely optimal R2G build of wrestler and company in a youtube series (which is being uploaded every couple of days.) This is the fruit of that labour...and boy was it interesting. I originally didn't plan on making this a diary, but then I did something stupid. I got really excited when I went "I want to make the next Skull DeBones...I have Logan Wolfsbaine...I'm going to do it." and I hired Skull DeBones (as an "I have his blessing and he has creative on the character) and turned Wolfsbaine into my new Skull D'Bones. I got even more excited when I was able to sign Scythe away from SWF, and Diablo Duvak from CWA in order to bring him, Mimic and Jamie Atherton all under the same roof for the classic ACPW Fight Forever trio. I have had so much fun with this and have so many stories running through my head with this silly game, and I wanted to share it. I love running companies in Canada. I am a Canadian boy, and as such it obviously holds a special place in my heart. My goal is not to put CWA out of business. ACPW is a Medium company currently and I consider them my sister company. I have bailed them out of debt a couple of times by sending them money to make sure they survived and they are also doing quite well (considering I pillaged all of their good workers). A new company popped up called Toronto Pro Wrestling, and I have convinced them to accept developmental workers from me. I started out in Ontario, but now that it no longer matters where I'm from because we'r'e so massive, I've moved my base to beautiful British Columbia. I personally am from Northern Ontario, and so that was a good place to start out, but now I don't need to do that anymore. My child company has moved to Manitoba, but they're fine. It didn't affect their current size (small) and wasn't an issue at all. I'm going to ideally post shows every other day, with my developmental brand writeups being less in detail, and little snippits maybe from my child company once a month or so, just to keep on top of the champions and whatnot. If I sign new people, I'll post it here. I'm still poaching people from the big companies, and keeping an eye out for good rookies. Ideally I want to steal Sonny Wildside from CWA, Freddy Huggins and Mainstream Hernandez from SWF (And Spencer Spade if I can land him), Wolf Hawkins and Mighty Mo from TCW, and Zimmy Bumfhole, Jay Chord and Huey Cannonball from USPW. Those guys are my main targets. I know most of them have their contracts up within the year, I think a couple are coming up really soon. Lets go through this as well. I don't know every person who did the renders I'm using, and I apologise if I miss you. If you notice, feel free to let me know! Thank you to Esteel first off, for creating the render I use for Branden Chisoku, I love this one so much and I'm so happy that you do what you do. Thank you to ReapeR and Christian_Shane for the title belts that I use. They are all beautifully done and I greatly appreciate both of you. In no particular order thank you to WillR0ck, King Bison, Shipshirt, L0nd0n, Parker Styles, Poputt, Bret99, Sockpuppet, JTLant, smw88, cooldude, JSilver and to anyone else I've missed for all of your beautiful renders and your hard work. Each and every one of you help to bring the CornellVerse to life for me, and help inspire me to do my writing. You all enhance the world that we love playing in so much. As for how this is going to work...GOW will get recaps, nothing exciting, literally just this person beat this person. The ratings mean nothing due to the fact that they are all unimportant and therefore they all get penalised. I'll try to remember to update my champions and rosters every month at least, and will probably do predictions for big events (save for the first one which I'm going to post either tonight or tomorrow). I have a developmental company as well...they exist. I might mention them from time to time depending on if I feel something important happened. Anyway, I have a tendency to ramble when I do these things...let's get into it! I hope you enjoy what I have for you, and thanks for stopping by.

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #cccccc; margin:10px;background: #F5F5F5; max-width:50%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Life is crazy sometimes... Four years ago I was nobody, wrestling for beers at Crocks back in Thunder Bay. I was working as a full time Assistant Manager at the truck stop in the middle of town just to eat and living with three other friends (including Calvin Hobbes, our referee) to be able to afford rent. Cal was making 50 bucks a show, literally enough to buy a case of beer and a couple of hot and readys from Little Ceasers. I remember when we were starting out we did our schedule around his work; he would do eleven days out of town painting the highways and small towns in the area, and on his weekends back every two weeks we'd do shows. The other half of the year was rough for him. Fortunately that didn't last long. Dude makes 15,000 a month now and owns his own house in Montreal. Don't know why he moved to Montreal, but whatever. I remember when Nigel (Honest Frank) came up to me after nationals in Tae Kwon Do. I didn't win, but I did pretty good. He told me I looked good out there, and I had a good look. He saw something special in me, something he wanted to help draw out. He asked if I had ever thought about wrestling. I told him the truth; I grew up watching wrestling...lots of Burning Hammer, NOTBPW and then CWA when they swapped, ACPW shows in Quebec every once in a while. It was a real trip to get to work with the big three from there. I loved those guys growing up. He asked if I ever trained with my dad. My dad was Brent Knight, a damned great wrestler honestly, who somehow never managed to go anywhere. He was the best at making people look good, and I told Nigel that yes, I had trained with him. He taught me the ins and outs of wrestling...man do I miss him. Nigel told me he was starting a new company, and he wanted to talk to me about it, so we sat and talked wrestling for hours, and by the end of it he not only offered me a job as a wrestler, he threw the book at me. I remember that first night, January 2020. It was Nigel as Frank doing "commentary" in the bar, Black Pirates Pub, Cal refereeing...he hadn't ever done it before, he was pretty bad, me, Felipe, Ace and Ernest. I had to drive to Chicago to pick Youngman up or he wasn't going to show. Felipe we had to buy a plane ticket from Mexico. We charged peanuts at the door, 60 people in the crowd, which honestly was shocking. The crowd reactions were unlike anything I had ever heard...especially the boos when I picked up that mic and started talking. Shit I was god awful, still am...that's why I've got Grimm. I'm a lot better than I was though. It was the best feeling ever though, or at least I thought it was, and it got me hooked. I did this as a hobby for a full year, I didn't see a dime for so long...We had three other guys back then too. Remmy and Alistair are still here, but "Nomad" is gone. He was a dick. I still remember when I met Alistair as well, I remember Nigel telling him "Kid, change your name and grow a beard, your career will thank you." Guy's had a job pretty much ever since. He's the GCPW champ right now. I remember my buddy Logan made our first title belt. I still have that old thing. He was pretty good at leather work, and knew a thing or two about metal working as well. It was ugly as sin, but it was ours, and I loved it so much. I remember when Nigel handed it to Youngman when he first won it, and how proud I felt seeing that hideous piece of tin hanging over his shoulder. After that things just kept going up. We signed Malik and Jay, they were so much fun. I miss Jay, but I understand why he didn't leave CZCW. It was pretty sad to see a team like The Inner City Express split up though (but that might be nostalgia, them and The Montreal Mafia were my favourites when I was a kid). After that we got Rayne Man, and he's a fantastic person to have. He's done so much for us. Pretty sure October was when I knew we were really onto something special though. It was the first time I paid to bring Landon Mallory in from South Africa. He's one of my closest friends today, we've worked together ever since. That guy is a freak athlete, and when he beat Youngman it was insane. That's when we bought the new strap. We still have it, I love that thing. We hired Lynx too, he came in from Australia. Dude was chill, but I felt bad for him. Near the end of the year my dad died. It really shook me up, I was messed up over it for a year. I kept wrestling every show, but I wasn't all there. It's why Felipe became the first Cruiserweight champ instead of me...I can barely even remember being small enough to be a cruiserweight, that was forever ago. It sucked especially because around that time we also hired Mimic and DWN, who were two of my heroes growing up. They both had my back through it all, so did Landon, and Rayne Man, Remmy, so many guys. It was great to have them around. I got one of my big landmark achievements too in that year, and I couldn't properly enjoy it because my dad wasn't there to see it, but me and Felipe beat the ICE to win the Tag straps. I remember afterwards I apologised to them, and they told me I deserved it. I sat in the locker room with my belt and cried. Too many emotions. There were certainly upsides to that second year. I got noticed by a local talent scout and ended up doing some small TV roll, so that was pretty cool. My brother Alex made his debut as well, and I was pumped to have him around. We also got onto a streaming site called WrestleWorld, which proved to be massive for us .We were getting eyes on us all over North America. That's also when I had my sitdown with Face Nelson from ACPW and him and I worked some shit out and became sister companies. We still keep a good relationship with them to this day. Face is a great guy, though he's not the booker anymore. That company is wild. They signed Fuyuko Higa and then decided to change the world. 2022 we signed our first outside star to a contract and nabbed David (Stone). Me and him are almost the same age, and we've really bonded over the years. We also traded up from WrestleWorld to get onto OnDem. That's around when we got Sean (Martyn aka Skull DeBones) as well. I called him up to come in and help us out, and he told me he'd work with us, but he wanted a favour. He asked us to bring his character back, and he had selected his successor as well. Logan Wolfsbaine, the biggest baddest son of a bitch on our roster. It made sense, and Logan was down for it. He ran with it, and it's been awesome. People love it. I killed it in 2022 too. August I won the World Heavyweight title, after getting shredded and bigger, and that was just the start. I went on a tear that year. Vibert brought me onto his Podcast to talk to him, Sluchinski sat down with me too, and I didn't realise what was happening until the end of the year. I was named PWR's Young Wrestler of the Year, and was number forty three on the power five hundred. I didn't even know what to say or do. This last year was basically a blur. I have a full creative team now, which is good because I went pretty much undefeated for an entire year there, and I can blame them. We did the brand split, and got a ton more big names in. We're officially the number one company in the world according to PWR. I kept the title all year, and put on a ton of bangers. Even got a six star match. Got Young Wrestler of the year again, along with being #4 on the Power 500, which was crazy. Thousands of wrestlers in the world, and I'm considered to be the fourth best out of all of them...How do you even deal with something like that? I've got another defence coming up tomorrow night, Landon and JJ (Jared Johnson) this time. I'm mostly excited to get to see Scythe in action. He's only been here a couple of months, and I don't get to go to Cutting Edge that much. They keep me busy on Velocity and with appearances and whatnot. Last month he took the Canadian title off of DWN, and they've got a rematch. Should be pretty great... I wish you could be here to see it...I miss you dad. Branden Knight </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #cccccc; margin:10px;background: #F5F5F5; max-width:50%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> He heard a knock at his door, and it drew him back to the present as he closed out the notepad app on his computer. His secretary was standing at the door staring at him with an annoyed look on her face. "Mr Knight, I tried to call you. Mr Harriet is here to see you." Branden would shake his head and sigh softly. He had gotten too absorbed in his writing, and he had forgotten he was supposed to meet the boss today for their End of Month meeting. "Sorry Amanda, I was just thinking about...well it doesn't matter. Send Nigel in. Thank you." She would roll her eyes and walk out the door before the NCPW Hall of Famer Honest Frank himself walked through the door, the owner of Pro Wrestling ETERNAL flashing his trademark smile at Branden as he walked into the door. Knight reached into his desk and pulled out a couple of glasses and a bottle of Lagavulin sixteen year. It wasn't the most expensive scotch by any means, but he liked it and that was all that mattered. He handed Nigel one of the glasses as the boss took a seat on one of the couches in his office, Knight joining him. "How are you settling into the new office Branden?" Nigel's voice was calm and kind, not yet affected by age, but still experienced enough. Branden had come to see him as a father figure, more so since the death of his real father when Nigel was the person who was there for him most. He was patient with him and kind, even though the loss affected Branden's performance for almost an entire year. He never gave up on him when he could have just hired someone else to do his job, and Branden appreciated him for that. "It's still weird Nigel. I lived in Thunder Bay my entire life. I didn't even have my own apartment. Now I'm in Vancouver with a house and a view, and I don't have to do work at my desk in my tiny bedroom anymore, I can come to the PWE Headquarters building, or I have a really nice personal office at home, and it's just crazy to think of." Nigel took a look around the office, nodding in agreement before his eyes stopped on the ugly first PWE championship belt proudly displayed in a case behind Knight's desk. He chuckled and smirked. "It sure is weird. I was never a rich man Branden. I never thought PWE would go this far. We spent eighty eight million dollars upgrading GameTube this month, and we're still projected to make a profit. We signed massive deals to pair up with big time streamers on the network as well. I heard you sat down with Steve DeColt last week to keep good relations with CWA. I'm not sure I get that, but it's an impressive thing." "I want to show the world that Canada has the best wrestling in the world...and what better way to do that than to have all of the Canadian companies shine. We've got CWA, ACPW and us all making a big impact, and all showing the world what Canadian wrestling can do. I want all three of us to keep flourishing. " Knight took a sip from his scotch and let it sit under his tongue before he swallowed it, breathing and allowing the taste to explode along his palate before he continued. "Anyway, we're expecting 90,000 people, give or take a few hundred, for the CWC final this Saturday. That's a new record for us. Like you said, even though we switched up our schedule and haven't been selling as many tickets, our merch sales are huge and the network is just printing money. I've got the card all ready for tomorrow as well, and everyone knows their parts and what to do. I'm personally excited to see Newton fighting Scythe again. I still can't believe we've got him." Knight trailed off and Nigel laughed. "You're one of the biggest wrestlers in the world. You've been on TV and in Movies. You're a two time Young Wrestler of the Year, and you're considered Number four on the Power five hundred. Do you know the only three guys who beat you on that list? Rocky Golden, who's literally been the top of SWF for 5 years now. He won his first TCW World Heavyweight title when you were seven years old. You have five time TCW World Heavyweight Champion Aaron Andrews, the only guy who I' say isn't old enough to realistically be your father. And then you've got Des Davids, a guy who is criminally underrated by SWF, but who was primed to be a massive football superstar before joining wrestling instead. You're immediately ahead of two time SWF World and 3 time USPW World Champion Steve Frehley, and you're beating names like Jay Chord, Wolf Hawkins and Tommy Cornell. And yet here you are, fanboying over a match between Scythe and Davis Wayne Newton. This business needs more people like you kid." After saying his piece Nigel would finish his drink and stand up, walking towards the door. "It seems like you've got everything handled here. I trust that tomorrow will go well. Get some rest kid, you've got a big match tomorrow and you've certainty earned it." He would leave the office leaving Knight to think on his words. He looked at his bookshelf to his two Young Wrestler of the Year awards. He was pretty proud when he won the Cruiserweight Classic, but he'd booked that tournament. He was even more proud when him and Felipe won the George DeColt Memorial tournament, but again, he booked that one too...but these he didn't book. He worked hard, and he earned these. He had a lot of help, but they were something that were truly his. He would look over his notes for tomorrow's show one more time before turning off his computer and turning out the lights. Amanda had already left, and he was the last one out of the building again, save for maintenance. He was tired, but happy, and he drove home looking forward to seeing what 2024 would bring... </div>

<p>I'm going to go through this kind of quickly. I started doing a R2G to put on youtube, and I have about 20 episodes of content recorded over close to 3 years I believe, and then I created a splinter save so that I could simply play ahead. This is a 4 year writeup. I've come to the conclusion that Local to Global is far easier now than it used to be, and that my recommendation from my "How To Survive Your First 2 Years" video of "sign with WrestleWorld immediately, even if it makes y6ou lose lots of money in production" is absolutely correct and makes zero sense not to do. So here we go.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="WXaybpP.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WXaybpP.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> I'm playing as Branden Chisoku, just a sexy boy with 0 sex appeal from Ontario who has the 750 point buy setup because I was trying to show off optimization in playing the game in my series. His stats look like this...</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="SMF3XWr.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SMF3XWr.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> He works for Pro Wrestling ETERNAL, which is set up as a performance over popularity company. I'm not going to lie, I don't have a lot of screenshots for this go through for the first few years, but I'll be uploading them all to my YouTube eventually in this playlist: </p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/dI9-v6Ln7As?list=PLhPjA_aIWCCAk8viQ5arMgF6bre7g_dPK" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div><p> </p><p> I look at this challenge as the ultimate form of playing the game, and therefore that is how I play it. My user character is optimal (almost, technically flashiness is important too but oh well), my company is optimal, the people I hire are optimal, my show numbers are optimal. I don't recommend setting in and playing the booking game until you've hit small and are out of the financial issues you are saddled with...so here we go.</p><p> </p><p> I have set Honest Frank as my owner, I like him. He's good. He setts me up with:</p><p> </p><p> PWE Must Not Fall below #36 2yr</p><p> No Psychopaths 1yr, 2mn</p><p> No Brawlers 2yr, 4mn.</p><p> </p><p> Easy. Hilariously he really seems to hate Brawlers even though I'm pretty sure he was one. My first show includes 6 people, Honest Frank, my created really terrible referee Calvin Hobbes (he's named after me, and I mess up a lot in promos because of this), Branden Chisoku (of course), Ernest Youngman, Ace Youngblood and Felipe Caballero. Youngman is pretty much guaranteed to carry whoever he's in the ring with to a 50 rated match, and all three of them are pretty cheap. The most expensive guy on the card is my referee at 50 dollars per show even though he has like 30 refereeing. We bang out the first two achievements in this show.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="gC1xSzF.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gC1xSzF.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong>First Step</strong> - Roll 47 "Fight Anyone" - Add Plays Badass Well and Dynamo</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="ulN8sqF.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ulN8sqF.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>Fresh New Indy</strong> - Roll 32 "Chance to Train" +20 across fundamentals.

This is due to the fact that as an insignificant company you can't make more than 3 popularity in a 2 month period, but for some reason it doesn't count the first show of the first month. At some point I start booking my entire roster on the shows, so I move to 8 wrestlers, because they begin to complain about being left off the card. Technically this issue would work itself out but I hate dealing with morale issues.</p><p> </p><p> Now, the other challenge I was doing went a bit smoother because I got picked up by RAW, and hen it became a bit of a joke, but honestly I like staying with my starting company. I also got a lot luckier in that game and had higher match quality going on for some reason. Here we got our first 75 match in November of 2020, and I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I found 2 teams with excellent chemistry, and one of those had Ernest Youngman in it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1b7F69h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1b7F69h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong>Taking The Next Step</strong> 27 "RTGdow" - Add Flavour of the Month to attributes.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> I hit Tiny first week of December, but straight up forget to roll until like half way through the next year. It's all good. My year end roll ends up being a terrible one.</p><p> 28 "Lost my Smile" - Add personal issues to attributes.</p><p> Personal Issues suck. I think they stuck around for almost a year. By this point I've been hiring new people, and I think I've let Ace Youngman go and maybe Alistair Shufflebottom. I also notice that when you're Tiny you can get 4 pop every 2 months, so this is exciting as all of my events are gaining me pop now. This means that we will hit Small earlier than I thought. We end up getting Landon Mallory because he left VWA so we can convince him to work in Canada. He's so good and so cheap (I still have him 4 years in in my main event).</p><p> </p><p> February 2021 we have our first 75 rated show.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="H4iOtzh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/H4iOtzh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong>A True Alternative</strong> 38 "Casting Call" - Added 5 pts to Charisma and TV Actor.</p><p> Also rolling for Tiny here: 9 "Keeping it in the Family" meaning I get to create a younger sibling.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Nothing super exciting happens until we hit Small in September.</p><p> 1 "Friends with Benefits" Made friends with ACPW.</p><p> We sign on with WrestleWorld. Essentially what ended up happening was I was going to wait until the end of the year to get a bit more popularity so the sting of production costs wouldn't hurt as much, but ACPW was on WrestleWorld and so I had to up production costs to match them, so I joined anyway because it didn't make sense not to. I recommend this to everyone all the time. At this point I swap to running a "monthly" show every week and a "Yearly" show on the last Friday of every month. This means I get more broadcast revenue and I believe the pop increase goes up too (I don't remember what it was at small) but no matter what, we're getting more exposure. It takes no time to get back out of the initial debt that the production hike forced us into.</p><p> </p><p> End of 2021 - 53 "Step Into The Light" +5 pop across entire base country</p><p> Debut on the power 500 (361) - 3 "Trusted Companion" gain loyalty of random wrestler. Rolled a 32/32, which is Xander DeColt.</p><p> </p><p> I've started to figure out the loyalty system as well. You can potentially get someone to be loyal to you by signing them, or being nice to them in backstage speeches. I do this every time. I'm picky about stroking someone's ego. I have a hilarious stable of loyal people including Landon Mallory, Xander and Danny DeColt, Mimic, Jamie Atherton, Davis Wayne Newton, Brother Grimm, David Stone and Rayne Man where I currently am (it's been a little while since I've stroked egos not gonna lie).</p><p> </p><p> I can't remember when in 2022 it was, but I signed David Stone and stroked his ego until he became Loyal. I knock his popularity down a little bit, as I don't want him to be in the main event title yet. He's young and has a way to go, whereas I've got guys like Youngman, Mallory, Mimic and Rayne Man who can all use the rub from him. This is a common thing with a lot of my signings. Anyone older who is in decline is used to put other people up the card.</p><p> </p><p> June 2022 I finally have a 90 rated match.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="a5TeuZC.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/a5TeuZC.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <strong>Becoming Elite</strong> 15 "Painkillers are (etc)" I now abuse painkillers.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> This is when I've splintered off. I do not have videos uploaded up until this point yet, but they're all made and will be uploaded over the next couple of months likely.

But yeah, the workers in there too Jared Johnson, Valiant, Jack DeColt, they're all definitely not signing with a small company. Two weeks later we get our first 99 rated match, as World Heavyweight Champion Branden Chisoku is firmly establishing himself as being awesome.

At this point almost every one of my matches is a 99. We bring Brother Grimm back (he worked for us after GSW went under until early 2022 when CZCW got him away because I was dumb and had him on an exclusive handshake, not exclusive written) since he had excellent chemistry as Chisoku's manager. Working towards that perfect storm. June makes me happy because SAISHO hits Medium, they sign a couple of my handshake deal japanese guys away, and it makes sense. Every month basically we upgrade our broadcaster, which increases our money and popularity potential. We build a fully upgraded Performance Center to train at. In September we hit big.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Road To Glory</strong> 41 "Runaway Runway" I'm a model now, and can add +5 to sex appeal or star quality...so obviously star quality.</p><p> </p><p> Now here's where I believe I've won the challenge by technicality, but I've personally decided I don't want to count it ant want to keep going forward. I run a TV show on Tuesdays and a Monthly event every Friday. Main Eventing one of those events we got this...</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="v769X4o.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/v769X4o.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Now, that is definitely a 100 rated main event, but in my opinion it's not a yearly event and therefore it doesn't count (this is just me, I don't know if that's right or not) so we're going to keep going. All of the broadcaster upgrades make it really easy to rush pop in other areas, and my insane shows and matches are ensuring I'm always gaining. In December week 2 we rise to Large size.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>"Larger than life"</strong> 49 "It's not the size of the dog" I get "Plays underdog well" and "Giving performer"</p><p> </p><p> Last show of 2023, Diablo suffers a Major Concussion, which is very sad. </p><p> </p><p> Year End Awards time.</p><p> Company of the Year PWE</p><p> Show of the Year PWE Genocide (I'm surprised we didn't also get match of the year)</p><p> Young Wrestler Branden Chisoku (no shock)</p><p> Most Improved Company PWE</p><p> Announcer of the Year Duane Fry</p><p> Referee of the Year Calvin Hobbes (Hurray!

At this point it's literally stay healthy, be in a super hot storyline, watch gimmicks of me and my opponents, and craft the perfect card. This of course is easier said than done. We've seen 2 100 matches in our company so far, one was mine, and nothing since. My biggest steal of talent was Scythe. I am paying him way too much money, but it's worth it. I love him. He's on the opposite brand at the moment from Skull D'Bones. Scythe defeated Davis Wayne Newton for the PWE Canadian (former NOTBPW Canadian) title to become the main champion of that brand, and I am going to have Skull D'Bones finally dethrone Chisoku after his like 1.5 years with the belt so I can have them fued.</p><p> </p><p> I am considering turning it into a Diary at this point. I want to tell the stories I've been picturing in my head and having fun with! But yeah, I'm expecting this next year I'll actually beat the challenge. Stay tuned!</p>

In my experience your higher abilities will advance must slower, so if your brawling is like 20 and your high flying is 60 you might only get a few points in High Flying per year, while the others will move more quickly until they hit the slope (and I don't know where the slope is, I'm sorry). This doesn't seem to be the case necessarily for Basics and skills like that, or Stamina (which is dependent on match lengths you're putting people in.) The second question sounds like a bug!

Thank you for posting all of these, this is fantastic!

I've been booking RAW and recreated AAA as a kind of developmental region for them as I look into launching a Women's division. Super excited about these recent redesigns! Excellent work as always.

It really is a happy new year!

DWN is always a fantastic signing, one of my favourites!

I think it needs to be a main event sadly! But I'm okay with that. RAW is fun to play and I love a challenge.

The only way to do it with the events and such would be to create a new database using your save, and then edit it before the game to be your child company or whatever you're trying to do with it instead of having it be closed, but you'd also have to go through the editor and reassign the titles to the company, and there's a chance you'd have to import the events from the original database to make them work correctly, though I could be wrong on that one.

<p>2022 was a really interesting year for RAW, and a great year for CHAOS (Mimic, Calvin Murdoch, Mitsuo Kikkawa & Prime Time Jack Pryde) as a whole.</p><p> </p><p> So first off, I figured out RAW, and everything was going pretty good, it's easy after all: Make Swoop talk and make Swoop win. I put the title on him and he instanttly got injured for 8 months. Great. Fortunately I was building up CHAOS to be the Major Stars of the company, along with the original stars.</p><p> </p><p> Gonna hit my notes here, and I have a ton of screenshots.</p><p> </p><p> I got rid of my B-Show, it costs 3.5 million. It was completely worth it.</p><p> </p><p> March I got "Taking The Next Step" with an 87 rated show. At this point Mimic, Murdoch and Kikkawa were all Major Stars.</p><p> </p><p> Rolled a 32 "Chance to Train". I'm pretty sure I've gotten itt before. Split 10 into Psychology and Selling.</p><p> </p><p> Became Muscular and also Medium size from Lightweight.</p><p> </p><p> April week 3 I got 2 more achievements "100 Rated Angle" with me and Swoop (who pulled angle duty on all of my shows while he was injured, it majorly buffed his pop too) and "Hottest Thing in the Industry" with a 92 rated event.</p><p> </p><p> First roll was a 23 "The Man of 1004 Holds" giving me +5 technical.</p><p> Second was a 47 "Fight Anyone" giving me Plays Badass Well and "Dynamo"</p><p> </p><p> While this was happening I was doing a tournament to crown my new "World Heavyweight Champion" as I had retired the old Television title when Swoop went down. Also retired the "Quest" title and made the "Australian" title instead. Mimic becomes the premiere World Heavyweight Champion, meanwhile A Pair of Aces (our new tag name) were the tag champs since January, and Pryde won the Australian title. CHAOS reigns supreme.</p><p> </p><p> The last show in may gets us to big size. I roll a 6 "Master and Disciple", got fairly lucky (or so you'd think, except he's a terrible mentor) and got Swoop as my roll. I have learned absolutely nothing from him. I need him to pass on those mic skills! I'd have rather had Cornell, but oh well.</p><p> </p><p> We hit July, Will Beaumont is slotted for Young Wrestler of the Year so that's cool. I also broke my fingers, my second ever injury.</p><p> </p><p> The Wrestling Industry was at 1 and the economy at 48 and dropping at this point because sure, why not?</p><p> </p><p> Will Beaumont and Luke Steel decide they don't want to work for RAW anymore and hand in their notice. I begin handing out written contracts after this. Doing so loses me Blake Belushi to BHOTWG. That's 3 Major Stars at once. It's okay, I'm making a few more. I will proceed to job Beaumont to Murdoch until he leaves. We get "Becoming Elite" in one of these matches. I rolled a 17 "I fought the law and the law won" meaning I now have "Checkered Past"</p><p> </p><p> Swoop returns in November. I'm excited. He has 100 everywhere in mainland australia, Cornell is also almost there. I got him back in march for too much money. Fortunately I was making bank, and I needed tthe star power.</p><p> </p><p> Final show of November, I'm in the third last match with Frogue Element and we get the second 100 rating in a match for RAW this year. This gets me "Almost There" technically.</p><p> </p><p> Roll a 39 "The Real Rock n' Rolla" allowing me to add musician and take +5 Charisma or Mic, which I take Charisma.</p><p> </p><p> I put Murdoch and Cornell in a tag team for the first ever time, they have excellent chemistry as a tag team...I want to finish this challenge with a singles match for the title, and I'm willing to wait!</p><p> </p><p> We get to the end of the year and get a few awards.</p><p> </p><p> Year End Awards</p><p> Company of the Year - RAW (This is actually quite shocking.)</p><p> Show of the Year - The RAW Hall of Fame Special!</p><p> Young Wrestler of the Year - Calvin Murdoch (That's me!)</p><p> Veteran Wrestler of the Year - Tommy Cornell</p><p> Most Improved Company - RAW</p><p> Referee of the Year - Tony Thorpe</p><p> </p><p> And in the power 500, we've got a few rolls coming our way. I debut at number 57, so 3 rolls for that, 1 for end of year. This could be interesting</p><p> </p><p> We get a 5 "Lean on Me" (random roll for a strong friendship, and set all bad things to reformed) I rolled a 1, which is Alexander Banks.</p><p> </p><p> Second roll is an 11 "LEGEN... wait for it... DARY!" Me and Mr Tommy Cornell are now best friends, and we drink (I assume it's both of us because it's a Ted and Barny reference). Tommy is straight edge, so I'm not going to make him drink.</p><p> </p><p> Third Roll 29 "The RTG Movement" add Groundswell of Support</p><p> </p><p> Fourth roll is a 39 "The Real Rock n' Rolla" for the second time and another +5 to Charisma</p><p> </p><p> That's my 2022. It took me a few days of playing (I'm actually packing to move. It's very late and I won't be able to play until next year!) It was an exciting one.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="OVGHyi6.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OVGHyi6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> Calvin Murdoch's Achievements</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="xAlQbRD.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xAlQbRD.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> First 100 rated angle</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="uPOkBFc.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uPOkBFc.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Top 20 matches in the company (I'm the second 100)</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="wFHhxrf.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wFHhxrf.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> The Card for that show!</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="UwxFS7t.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/UwxFS7t.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Top 20 events</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="VAL7DBb.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VAL7DBb.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Year End Skills</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="dkqDY57.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dkqDY57.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Year end Popularity</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="bdGQ2GK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bdGQ2GK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Company Growth</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> That was a lot!

I really like that skin. It's super nice!

I took over RAW in my Road to Glory challenge and have pissed off the Aussies there for sure. Completely overhauled the titles, added 2 developmental companies (including one for women...OH MY!) and pushed all foreign heels up the card. The four main roster title holders are members of the stable CHAOS, led by Mimic, and basically all three of the other guys are loyal to my user character, so we did this. Revolution Australian Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion: Mimic Australian Champion: Prime Time Jack Pryde Tag Team Champions: A Pair of Aces (Mitsuo Kikkawa and Calvin Murdoch (my user)) Universal Wrestling Corporation World Champion: Chuck Everlasting Television Champion: Massacre Tag Team Champions: D-Pod and Chuck Everlasting (I hate when they do this) Angel Athletic Association: Australia Femme Fatale Champion: Ashley Keith Television Champion: Sarah Rioli Tag Team Champions: Bonnie Bogan & Koala Mask Oh the Australian Wrestling scene must hate me (except that we're big and growing after being there for 7 months, pulling in top numbers with Tommy Cornell on our roster making over a million dollars a month.) And if you're wondering why Swoop isn't my champion...he tore his ACL and needs a year off.

I don't think so, especially not in this version of the game. Momentum is too important. It's possible, maybe, if you go into the editor before you start and set it up so that you have an announcer and colour commentator with excellent chemistry and full experience and 90+ in their stats, a 90+ referee, a perfect Road Agent (exp, psych, respect), excellent chemistry between the competitors, a hot storyline, and editing their momentum and gimmicks to be white hot and legendary. Even then you still have to build the card properly. I've gotten a couple of 100s in this edition of the game, and it takes a silly amount of work haha.

I didn't want to post these so immediately after one another, but that's how it goes sometimes. My entire game in year two was basically wondering when Ernest Youngman was going to get stolen from me. He has been my champion since week 2 of January 2020, our second ever event. In January 2021 we create the PWE Tag Team titles as well as holding the Daniel Bower Memorial Tag Tournament, for that fan who gave us all that money that one time. I said I'd do a tournament, and so I did. Calvin Murdoch and Mitsuo Kikkawa, aka "The Rising Sons" (Because Murdoch is the son of Fox Mask, and Kikkawa...obvious) would win the tournament and the titles. Murdoch was still not overly good, but his promos were pretty solid and Kikkawa was mostly carrying matches (if you're wondering where I got him, I use the future wrestlers mod). My prediction was that I'd hit small by the end of September. This was almost right. Youngman was my first wrestler to request a raise, and actually the only one from PWE to do so. I gave him the 60 dollar per show raise, because it was worth it and let him keep putting on hilariously good shows. I would sign Mimic at some point, adding to an interesting little thing that I didn't actually know how it worked. Prime Time Jack Pryde, Mitsuo Kikkawa and Mimic all ended up being loyal to my UC, having the loyalty relationship. I thought that was kind of cool, and I like all of those guys. I legit spend the next several months trying to get Youngman and Machine Gun Torii from BCG to be loyal to me as well, as they were my strongest performers. Torii would run through the ranks on his way to the top as my eventual chosen replacement for Youngman. In September I would get "True Alternative" For my roll I ended up getting a 9 "Keeping it in the Family" allowing me to create a younger sibling to join the wrestling world age 17 with the R2G stat spread. I'm quite excited for the idea of having two sons of Fox Mask and having them feud over who gets to take up the mantle of the mask. TCW signs Ernest Youngman the same night I hit small, which of course is another achievement (small, not losing Youngman...though it totally could be). I rolled a 37 "Snow to an Eskimo" giving me +5 to selling. Around the same time the booker of RAW had left the company or been fired or stepped down or whatever so I applied, not expecting much as I had just hit small. I signed up with WrestleWorld and was preparing for life after Ernest Youngman... And then I got the Job. Now this is where I made a new save. I saved directly before I took the job. I've never actually booked a Sports Entertainment company, and RAW is that to the extreme. So if this game falls through, I'll come back to this point and continue on as PWE...but that being said... Calvin Murdoch is the new booker of Revolution Australian Wrestling! This constitutes a roll for being Medium. I get a 50 "Grounded in Reality" so I get Tag Team Specialist and Plays Realistic Well. I have no popularity there, and so we're starting from the bottom with a 12 rated match reminds me. I have no idea what to do, but I know a few things. I hire on the three guys who are loyal to me, along with Jamie Atherton from ACPW, Xander DeColt (PWE) and a handful of other good talent. SWF decides to allow Danny DeColt to go free, and I nab him as well. The first thing I do with my sexy 6.5 million dollars is buy a cheap performance center and start training myself, Mitsuo, the DeColt boys, my brother Dylan, and Prime Time Jack Pryde. I create a brand split, making a developmental brand to help gain some popularity and just start feeding the Rising Sons some locals, which is fine because when they get mad I can throw a few thousand dollars at them and they're cool with it. My new owner goals are: Owner Goals RAW mustt have at least as much pop in Oceania as when the goal was set - 2y Swoop McCarthy must be kept above 71 overall in Oceania - 1y 6m No technician strikers - 1y 8m No MMA crossover - 1y 10m Easy enough (kind of). That first one is going to be tougher than I thought, but Swoop McCarthy is a mega stud and I don't see him falling. PWE names Bradford Peverell as my replacement and the world continues to turn as normal. I am going to keep checking in on them because they're now my baby. I created a b show, and got it onto the network that owns RAW (which sucks btw, I can't sign with anyone else who gets shown in Australia...). The B Show is given to the developmental brand, along with 2 titles. My booking is kind of bad, so I book some bad shows until like December when I figure out how to RAW and hit a pair of 84 shows, officially the highest rated shows I've done. By the end of the year I've pissed a lot of Aussies off and gotten Calvin to be recognizable, abolished the brand split, created an actual developmental company so I don't have to worry about it, realized I screwed up and can't get out of my tv deal and I have to keep the B Show, and now here we are. End of year awards we don't get anything. Not even Most Improved Company, that goes to NeoTokyo Joshi Futures (which before the game I gave 50mil to see how they'd do). I also do not make the power 500, but I feel like next year I might crack it. My year end roll is a 43 "Runaway Runway" which gives me +5 to star quality or sex appeal (I obviously chose Star Quality) and Modelling Experience. This all makes sense, as I'm also a TV actor and someone clearly saw me and was like "We want him to model our underwear." Going into year 3 optimistic now that I've kind of figured out what to do with RAW, but expecting I'm going to sink this ship somehow.

Okay, I posted this last night but took it down because I was pretty positive my save was dead. Sent it to Adam and he fixed it (apparently I had a location that was breaking my game...I just like the generic venues D=) Here we go. Having completed the Road to Glory challenge for TEW 2016 I felt I needed to take a crack at it this time as well, and apparently the way I was going to do that was by taking a completely different approach. I am playing as Calvin Murdoch. And I did the rolling thing (I forgot to get a screenshot of my original stats so I had to pop out of my save to nab this) He's a high flyer, obviously, because his flying stats are slightly less terrible than his other ones. Fortunately his performance stats aren't complete crap as we are basically making CZCW 2.0, a performance over popularity company. That is Pro Wrestling ETERNAL! We sign our first few wrestlers and get assigned our new owner who is none other than... Honest Frank! Frank is a decent colour commentator and road agent, and would run me around 250ish a show if I had money. He gave me three goals, one of which is the absolute worst. Financial Balance must not fall below $0 at any point - 2 y, 4m Can't hire less than 45 Toughness - 1 yr No Law problems allowed - 1yr, 8mn Fortunately I was smart and didn't check my owner goals and ran my first show instead because I was about to get fairly lucky. Like a smarty pants I hired Captain Mega Chad Ernest Youngman and paired him up with my UC in order to nail out a couple of achievements early on. Our first roll is one that I think was extremely useful off the hop. I rolled a 32 "Chance to Train" giving me +20 to split among my performance stats, which I dump completely into Psychology. The second roll is the only way this game lasted longer than 1 show, and man did I realize just how lucky I actually got. I rolled an 8, and I almost don't want to take it because the thought of it is just so silly. Our biggest fan died, which I assume means he loved our first show so much that he changed his will to leave us money and had a heart attack. I can either accept the money, or donate it to charity, which of course I will accept this 56,609 because at this point in the game it would be silly not too. Thank you random fan, I will create a tournament title in your honour. After this show and doing my rolls and whatnot, I went to sign some people, realizing I didn't know my goals when I couldn't hire someone. I went to check and was shocked to see the goals I had. Normally I'd have restarted my game seeing that first one, but this time I didn't and I feel like that's going to hopefully be a good sign. Now would be a good time to tell you about how I play this game. When I did the 2016 challenge I booked 10 matches per month, one every three days, running a japanese touring schedule 3 months on, 1 off. This would ensure I would hit regional by the end of basically my 9th month, and that I'd be out of debt (after going massively into debt) pretty quickly. This strategy doesn't quite work this time around thanks to the popularly cap, and so I instead ran 2 events per month. Being insignificant at least, the maximum pop I was able to get was 3 in a 2 month period, so tthis worked for me. It didn't get Mr Murdoch as strong as I'd normally have him, but it's okay. I'm in it for the long game. That money I got at the beginning of the save made this a very smooth year. I never fell below 40k, and by the end was making money and almost back where I had started. I ran free shows the entire year to ensure my popularity gains, but that wasn't hard because of the Performance over Pop product. July I made a profit for the first time, and that wouldn't change. I'm looking at my notes and they have a lot of fat to trim, so I'm keeping this as short as possible. We hit Tiny the second last show of the year, thus achieving "Hello World". My roll for this was a 38 "Casting Call" which adds +5 to either my charisma or acting, and gives me TV Actor. I, of course, took it in acting because I'm an actor now! I buffed up my roster and finished out the year, rolling a 54 "Internet Sensation". My company received +2 pop everywhere we had it, and a random wrestler on my roster (Mitsuo Kikkawa as it turned out) got +10 pop everywhere. A fairly smooth first year. I'm going to be writing the second up right away, because I forgot to repost this earlier, but yeah. Having fun so far. Finances Skills I actually started another one using the same company when I thought my save was dead, so I have a backup, and I also have a second backup that you'll all hear about soon enough...

I can't book sports entertainment. I can book Puro and I can do products like ACPW/CZCW's high impact prod over pop, but I'm awful at doing storyline popularity centric stuff.

Hi there! I love playing this mod, it's been my main time sink so far this edition of the game. I just wanted to let you know that one of the location files is broken. I had imported the locations from this into my default save game (because I like having all the extras) and when I got to june 2021 it started crashing me out with an error 94. Adam told me that it was the "Riga LVA" file, so you might want to remove it from the database (if you haven't already). Thanks for all your hard work <3

So far I have found that the most difficult thing about this is the hard cap on popularity raises. Running this the way I finished my challenge in the previous edition I just end up losing money because running 10 events a month means nothing when you're capped at 1 or 2 popularity gain. You could easily go from Local to Regional in 9 months using that method, it was 100% gaming the system. Now I'm trying to figure out what the sweet spot for events is to get my maximum 3 pop in 2 months so im not wasting extra money. This all being said, I'm still determined to do it. Might take a lot longer but I'm okay with that~

Super excited to see it. This is the mod I did my R2G in for 2016, and the mod I likely put the most hours into (a painful amount of hours haha). I am looking forward to it very much <3

The hype is real

<p>Sorry this has been a bit slower than most of my previous diaries. I am at the end of my work season and got sent out of town for a few days so I don't have my notes. I'll he posting tomorrow when I get home! Should be back to wvwry couple of days pretty soon. </p><p> </p><p> Thanks for your patience and understanding</p>
