By that I mean the small tours such as LuchaMania and The Clove that probably result in your match ratings taking a hit due to most of the new dudes aren't over in Japan. And having title feuds involving less over talent like Yamashita.<p> </p><p> Keep it up and let us know what happens next!</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> The match ratings definitely aren't as high as they could be, but I've tried my best to keep them all in the first half of the card as best as I can. Up to this point, I actually haven't lost any popularity from my shows because my Main Events have been hitting the mark I need to them to scratch by with a B- rating show to show. That was heavily reliant, of course, on Kinjo and Deguchi in the United Throne/RENEGADES clashes. The Cup Tour will be Ito-gun's turn to prove they can carry Road To Shows. Thankfully, Harada and Eda are not in time decline and so they're not getting dinged yet.</p><p> </p><p> Glad you've enjoyed it thus far; it definitely been one of favorite Puro runs on TEW thus far</p>
  2. Booked up through to the start of my UPJ Cup in the fourth week of February, starting with my version of the New Beginning Tour. The first set of road to shows built towards Ascension in Hokkaido, which was to be headlined by Kozue/Furosato with the International Tag team match in the semi-main. Takanori Sakurai had been battling Openweight Champion Tiger Singh all tour in multi-mans, calling out in post-show interviews that he wanted first crack at the Ito-gun lieutenant, and he was finally able to pin him in Hokkaido to earn that title shot. Brusier Cassidy and Koji Yamada faced in in a hoss fight, stemming for Cassidy's frustration that he could not pin the big man during their clashes on the LuchaMania tour. In another special match, Kinjo and Deguchi teamed up to face the team of Rijn and Farrell representing RENEGADES; Deguchi would tap Farrell out with the Triangle Choke, the same finishing move that Rijn had been using all tour to choke out members of the United Throne. It was obvious that if he wanted to be Juro next week in Kanto, he'd have to find something else. Ignite Zero retains against the big gaijin, who just aren't as good as they used to be, and Kozue beats Furosuto in the first canonical junior main event since Furosuto retired Silver Beetle in November 2015, and this is was the second best match of the save thus far, just behind the Main Event of New Year Sprint. Rijn versus Deguchi would top that score a week later at Ascension in Kanto, despite Juro getting injured on the last road to show before the match. Tiger Singh would retain against Sakurai earlier in the show and the team of Harada/Eda would also best former tag team champions Oda Yamawaki & TOKI INK, raising the question in those men might challenge Goto and Kato for their tag team championships. Of course, Ebi Kadivar and Paul Crowley also hinted at wanting an opportunity against Ignite Zero, especially after winning in a multi-man against them on the show. Overall, Ascension in Kanto was a success for RENEGADES and Ito-gun, while less so for the United Throne, FEARLESS, and HACHIMAN, which is what the trio of Iglesias, Girven, and Jordan began calling themselves in ode to the three-headed god of war. They suffered their first pinfall loss on the entire tour in a multi-man tag in the midcard. UPJ got a slightly lighter schedule over the next two weeks as they hosted only three shows. The second week of February was dedicated to honoring Takehide Harada's 30th anniversary in the business. On this show, Mr. Yamashita pinned the newly debuted Jesus Rio, former Openweight Champion in COBRA and the assumed next challenger for Singh, thus shifting the focus onto him. A second swerve happened later in the night after Ayden Farrell pinned Kozue, slotting him ahead of Furosuto in challenging the Junior Heavyweight champion. At the time, Furosuto endorsed his RENEGADE stable mate, but it was obvious there was some tension in the air. Then, in the main event, forty-six year old Harada submitted the Heavyweight Champion with his signature Cloverleaf before challenging for the championship on the final night of the UPJ Cup. Since all the champions were not permitted in competing in the tournament, which would guarantee a title shot at Procession of Champion on the next tour, Rijn could not make any excuses and the match was set. Finally, UPJ hosted a two-day event the next weekend titled The Clove, which is in reference to the first English ship that docked in Japan in the 17th century. These were cross-promotional events with GBWF that showcased the UK talent to the Japanese audience for the first time, in most of their cases. Similar to Black Panther at LuchaMania, Anders Vanderburg immediately aligned himself with RENEGADES for the shows, while the rest of the talent remained unaligned. Highlights from the two shows included a rather entertaining singles match between Kintaro Kinjo and Graham McKenzie, the official challenge of Mr. Yamashita for Tiger Singh's Openweight championship, and the shock debut of former HONOUR heavyweights Nobuhisa Yasutake and Ukon Kajahara, who would shun the invitation from Dagger Ito to join Ito-gun and instead align with Yamawaki's FEARLESS. This is certain to incite new hostilities between the two factions, especially since its predicted that Yamawaki and Waotaka Eda will clash on their side of the UPJ Cup Brackets.

  4. I had had a feeling that you were building to Glenn/Vasquez, but I wasn't expecting a time limit draw. Never quite connected with The Butcher, but it does make him look strong against someone as established as Glenn.

  6. By exclusive, do you mean you're at Cult level and have signed written contracts? If so, then good for WCG to make such a step up
  7. Seems like he got fired from USPW too quickly, before Reverie expanded into the Japanese market. At least then he would've come in with pop in the D range instead of the F-E you probably picked him up at. Though in a performance fed it probably means less than in my pop focused WEXXV. Finally caught up to this thread also and have really enjoyed it. One of the more interesting puro threads I've read on this forum
  8. Motivated by a newfound interest in NJPW and the updates by several people in this thread, I've sat down in the last few days and started up a UPJ save of my own. I'm unabashedly modeling myself after New Japan with the scheduling, and I've pushed the Ozeki Summit back to the summer like someone mentioned they did already in their own save. I like the idea of my tournament winners getting their title shots at Hall of Immortals, so I needed to get the tournaments as close to November as I could. I've also booked two weeks, but its already been a blast. The biggest news out of New Years Sprint (like I said, unabashed) was the return of Dagger Ito after being unceremoniously fired a few years prior and the formation of Ito-gun, a stable headed by Dagger and veterans Harada and Eda, along with Tiger Singh and Dustin LeFever (who sort of just fell into the group because he uses Tiger as his translator backstage). They attacked members of both United Throne and RENEGADES following Sprint's Main Event, so its hard to say whether they're good guys as of yet or not. Ito swears they have positive motives, though its hard to say whether the veteran still holds a grudge or not. A few more members of this faction debut over the next couple shows. I poached Morita and Gono from HONOUR, with the latter providing much needed microphone skills to the stable, as well as the Ambassador's Club from DRAGON. Junior heavy at the moment, but that might change down the road. After Sprint, I held a four-show mini-tour titled LuchaMania to put a spotlight on a few members of our new partners, GILL (ILL and CLLM weren't interested in partnerships). I brought over El Segador, Black Panther, El Rebelde Rojo and Jaguar del Oro for the first year. Panther quickly aligned with RENEGADE for the tour, wrestling against combinations of Thunder Iesada, Rojo, and other openers. Oro teamed with Captain UPJ and Kinjo for the whole tour as they fought in a series of six-man tags against the four factions in the company, while Segador competed in the eight-man elimination tournament to crown the first COBRA Openweight championship (Tiger Singh would ultimately win the title against Ram Diablo in the finals). Hope to bring over even more competitors next year, and I got a feeling Panther and Oro will come back even sooner on a touring contract. Building towards my two big shows at the end of January and start of February with the following marquee match-ups. Juro Deguchi vs Erik van Rijn Kozue vs Furosato Goto & Kato vs Pain & Torture Tiger Singh vs TBD As for the rest of my hires, I've tried to limit myself. Gao Xi and the Harris guy were brought in as extra Young Lions to eat pinfalls, while the trio of friends were signed as well. Working relationships were established with PWI and GBWF as well, so their talent will likely be seen on shows before too long too.
  9. Enjoying this so far. The Iron Maiden match is a very cool concept that will no doubt make an appearance in my WEXXV save at some point in the near future. Are you sticking to the touring schedule in this save or have you shifted to a regular schedule?
  10. You might diss Riki Toda, but I've watched the AI make him the BHOTWG Junior Champion even when they had some of the greatest Juniors in the game.
  11. Plan is to have this show posted on Tuesday, so predictions will be open up until then.
  12. When it comes to a wrestlers physical percentage in a limb, when should I be worried about it getting too low? After four years of intense matches in my PGHW save and I've got guys hovering in the 50-60 range. My second question is whether or not these percentages will go back up if the wrestler is allowed time off or during non-touring months
  13. Invincible Pro Wrestling will be returning to Los Angeles in the first week of February with Hardcore Havoc. Many fans were expecting Frantic Ali to be defending his championship against any one of the company’s newest signees, but after Hardcore Icon Madman Boone released the following vignette via PSW’s social media accounts, Nemesis proudly announced this championship bout. It’ll be Boone’s first appearance on the West Coast in over a decade, and he’s looking to beat Frantic Ali at his own game in IPW’s signature Street Fight stipulation. Our more bloodthirsty fans will not be disappointed with Nemesis’ second announcement in the interim between shows: The Tournament of Death. Nine competitors will compete in a trio of triple threat matches in the first half of the show before the respective winners clash in the Main Event to crown the Tournament winner. Besides a trophy and bragging rights, the winner will also compete in March for the IPW Championship. PSW and FCW have both announced that they will be sending a representative to IPW, but it will not be revealed who they are until the tournament begins. All of that and more, so come on out to Hardcore Havoc. The owners of the Snake Pit believed this kind of show to be too violent to be held in their venue, but Gil Thomas was able to negotiate with an abandoned property downtown whose owner won’t mind the bloodstains that we will no doubt leave.
