WrestleLyfe: Year 5 (May 2024 - January 2025) Ozfest 18 (XVIII) is complete, and I've finally starting to have alot of fun on this save idea without the crappy Faux-MMA gimmick. APW is now bigger then RAW (atleast in the world view), we've gone from seating 5,000 on PPV to 30,000 with good booking and broadcasting deals. I've had an overarching plan with my bookings as to keep focus, and it's paid dividends as we've had our most successful PPV, I'll go over the big story highlights. The New Children of Sports Stable: White Wasp, Lothar Prellinger, & The Great Sora (The Great Avatar) beat Lone Shark, Felix Harding, & JT Ace, with an assist from both new signings Pumpkin Jack and The Goddess Nike (Vicki Company. This story is so silly I love it, the basic premise is the cult like stable is just one giant middle finger at RAW's Sports Entertainment, so immature, so fun to do. Killer B beat Buckminster Snark to retain the Australian Championship. No much going on here, originally Massacre was going to hold the title for a long, long time, but eventually his pop gain hasn't offset his time decline enough, its not bad as some others, but I decided I'd give him one last big match before cutting the cord (so to speak). The 5K Alliance (Jack Avatar & Yuta Isono) won a four man tag team match to win the tag titles, their first in the company. These guys man, obviously with Avatar is more to the game wanting him to get over, but him and Yuta have just gotten so over, their pushing to the main event so fast, the plan is clearly working for what comes next. Lynx beat SubUrban Legend and Christopher Gerard beat Pookie Possum to showcase what the Main Event can do. Nothing really of note here besides Legend and Lynx are some great signings/steals, really will be part of the future. Brisbane Devil beats Dingo Devil in a last man standing match. Dingo started out the champ, with some good ratings for sure, but those ratings haven't moved an inch, he's started to stagnate, so he'll be moving down the card to make way for the others rising on the card. Finally, In the Main Event, Wil Beaumont finally beat Monday Next for the APW Commonwealth Title. Its not the first title run for Will, but Next spent the entire months of May 2024 to now ducking Will at all cost, even handing out title shots just to avoid the match. Finally Next has been bested, and Will takes us into a new and bigger APW then ever before. In the rest of the world, Tommy Cornell retired at the beginning of the year. truly an end of an era. USPW continue to sign nearly everyone, while SWF continue to hold onto their stars, leaving TCW up in nearly flames, they are good pop and money wise, but they'll really need to focus with Chord, Andrews, AND NOW Hawkins gone. CZCW is a solid #3 in the world view of wrestling, solid overall, with their new trainees from the costal resort doing REALLY good after a few years. The only other big news story is CWA shut their doors, leaving Canada on the same level as India, with only 1 promotion (Sighn opened DSPW in September of 2024) I guess The Force wasn't that good of a booker as he thought he was. ACPW is doing good, getting PPVs On OnDem, they look replace CWA in only a year (in terms of Starts, Attendance, and Ratings) if they go unnoticed by USPW and SWF. Alot of talented people are now unemployed, but I assume not for too much longer. In the end of the year/hit medium rolls I got to get a working agreement with ELPF and even found true love! don't say wrestling never did anything for you!

I was gonna say a end of the year feud for TEW would be cool but the AI would probably book the stupidest feuds of all time, but I then realized that wasn't a bad thing, it would make me laugh, so I know want that so bad. Less of one story and more of an archetype I usually fall into because for some reason I find it funny. I love over the top cartoony stables, like the Dungeon of Doom, or the Wyatt Family (more over the top then cartoony), or just a group that pushes Kayfabe with actual magic or mind control or something like that, and then have a Kurt Angle or Brock Lesnar type character come in and just beat the crap out of them. I have no idea why I think this is so funny to book, but I've done it so many times. I think its just the nature of wrestling where you have a guy like the undertaker talk about death and Armageddon and then have an Olympic gold medalist say: "Ok lol" and put said mysterious figure in a leg lock. A recent version of this trope is the Children Of The Sport in APW, a group consisting of White Wasp, Lothar Prellinger, & The Great Sora (The Great Avatar), and Pumpkin Jack, who worship The Goddess Nike (Vicki Company) the protector of Sports (Entertainment). She promises to rid Australia and the World of Hardcore & Professional (Wrestling) filth. It's literally just one (Bad) joke at RAW's expense. The title reigns will be moderate, the success moderate, but the ending angle where a new signing kills everyone in a one on one match with 4 run ins will be worth the wait.

Thats true as well, in terms of the game I've been playing, I think too many of the American indies are "safe", or atleast rise too quickly.

I think a big thing I've seen in the long term games I've played when it comes to small players is both amount of events, product, and broadcasters. Now this is all just speculation and/or just random thoughts as I've dabbled in modding, everyone here is WAY better then me lol, but if you take the vanilla game, Most little companies I've seen have a good head on the shoulders when it comes to getting a deal with WrestleWorld, but usually once they hit tiny, they ramp up production values and sometimes they just can't afford it, sometimes they can make a good money, especially if they have a good sponsor friendly profit to keep afloat, but they occasionally lose the TV and then its always a matter of getting it back for the AI to course correct. I think a bit think would be to offshoot this by limiting production value requirements or making the size requirement larger, I would also make the product focus more on events then on TV. In a long term save I have done, CZCW have done wonders by first going on Wrestleworld, then switching to OnDem (as have I), but CWW spent too much on production values and didn't get enough pop to stabilize the costs, and as such eventually went under. Just a suggestion from someone who only kinda sorta knows what he's talking about.

You ever regret not posting enough to get a request... In all seriousness, this and the Iron Heart Logo are just so awesome! Also I know the Acronym company names get get old, but I the only one that likes one letter ones like EEE or AAA? IDK whats wrong with me either lol.

Now this? This is Epic...

I have so many, I was actually about to start a similar thread lol, but regardless, I think the one I want to post right away is my all time favorite TEW moment; THE RISE OF YABO THE CLOWN BACKSTORY: To set the stage, were in TEW 2016, December 2019 IRL, and I always would have these Local To Global 0/0/0/0 (0 money, 0 prestige, 0 popularity, 0 momentum) saves but I would barley get into them before losing my attention, so this was the last Current RW data to do it in, I was ready to go! I founded The TRI-STAR WRESTLING CIRCUIT (TWC) in my hometown, and much of the save was played in discord calls with my friends, specifically non-wrestling friends, this is relevant I swear. The big thing that I did with this save was have big characters and would ask my friends either "Pick a random number" type of moments or have them pick gimmicks for the signings. I'm legit proud of a lot of the stuff in here, both for good booking & just because its funny, such as Allie Kat becoming the most over wrestler on the planet (Male or Female) Eric BugenHagen's Twitch Themed Stable "The Gamer House", Communists Orange Cassidy (Red Cassidy), and of course I got my own personal nWo stable (complete with The Rock hitting me with the rock bottom, gotta get me over brother), but Yabo is just another level. Yabo The Clown (Indy out of Illinois, home town hero of course) was hired soley because one of my friends thought it was a funny idea, and as Joker has just come out, he got a lame joker parody gimmick, but by the end of the save (Dec 2019 - Jan 2023) He would become the biggest success story, even comparable to Allie Kat. 2020: Yabo The Clown would debut at *MYIRLNAME* Birthday Bash, in a losing effort against Navy Blue. He would spend the rest of the first half of 2020 building to a losing effort against TWC Circuit Champ Stephen Wolf, he would redeem himself by winning the first ever Pro Circuit Invitational! Unfortunately the rematch with Wolf would also be unsuccessful at October's Lamia's Curse Event. To end out the year, to our WrestleMania Triversary I, Yabo entered a long feud with Cody Hall. Yabo would entertain the paying audiences children by doing bad clown gimmicks and telling them life sucks, THIS seemed to get on Mr. Hall's nerves, and he beat him up in front of the kids! He even put him through the part favor table! This lead to him getting revenge by putting Cody Hall into a table of his own in a table match. 2021:A huge leap for us as we went 88 fans to 600 by the end of the year, immediately Yabo would find a similar suffering soul to his own in Colby Corino, after a quick time convincing Corino to form "The Society Rejected" and after finalizing Yabo's feud with Hall, they went on a quest to become the first ever TWC Tag Team Circuit Champions! Standing in their way? Catch Point (Hot Sauce Tracy Williams, Fred Yehi, & Chris Dickinson) and in the first ladder match ever (for the new titles no less) ALMOST get the titles, but came just short after Yehi interferes after winning the main title, they got all the gold! Catch Point would cheat and duck them over the rest of the year, with the only other note being Yabo just barley losing the chance to win the Pro Circuit back to back, getting merc'd by the debuting Tommy End (Who would beat Yehi the following month). Finally, at Triversary II, The Society Rejected FINALLY won the titles after winning a 2/3 falls match, ending the big show with the titles raised in front out of a sellout crowd. 2022 (The Sad Year): The Society Rejected would go on to hold the gold for a solid 5 months before being completely blind sided by the Gentlemen's Club (Johnny Gargano & Jack Gallagher (Pre-Cancellation, please take this into account for other of a similar nature as again, it was played in December 2019)), and even worse for Yabo, Colby Corino seemed to be completely done with the team, and despite a pleading Yabo, Corino claimed he "Just needed time alone". Yabo cared about his friend however, and gave him that space, going onto another solo run, however he experienced some real post-WM 28 John Cena luck, losing in the first round of the Pro Circuit, and losing a majority of his matches and not even receiving any title opportunities, not the APEX Alliance Titles, not the new Television Title, and definitely not the (now) World Championship. As long as Colby got in a right head space and returned to the team, everything was worth it, right? WRONG! Colby returned to Yabo at Do You Remember? 2022 (September, wacka wacka!) only to beat him down, saying he found a new tag partner, who might that be? CODY HALL, who would continue his feud with the local hero of TWC and Colby would agree to wrestle him at TWC Lamia's Curse the following month. That match would see Yabo again denied as Colby Corino got the much needed assist from BOBBY LASHLEY, officially joining Todd Pettengill's Cuck Club (don't ask). Lashley would challenge Yabo to a match at Triversary III, a no DQ match to be specific, with the loser being FIRED! Obviously the PCC seemed to think this would be the easiest match of their lives, but an aging Bobby and the unstoppable fighting spirit of Yabo would see him finally win a big match that year. Not only that but Yabo managed to stop Miley Cyrus, (in the house to sing the national anthem) from singing a forced rendition of American Males, and backstage talked our "Special Guest Host" of the night "Actress' Janice Griffith to join him on a celebratory night on the town. (Remember when I said I used friend suggestion for things, yeah this who that came to be.) 2023 (The Clowning Achievement): At Triversary III, we had a huge heel turn that would defy the next year of booking, ME! A Triple Threat Main Event World Title match between Matt Riddle, Champion El Nuevo Rey (Kalisto), and CHAD Betts (CHAD Gable, can you tell what storyline he was in at the time?) was going just fine, Riddle even had the match one, I swear I just wanted a closer view! I didn't mean to hit him with a chair, then giving one to Chad as well , after costing the #1 Bro, The Mega Stable had been created, The Republic (ME, CHAD, The Miz, Samoa Joe, Heath Miller (Slater) "Righteous Robert Roode (they formed the team of Country Money), and KANA) had been formed. I took this company to the top, not with Allie Kat and Yabo, but with all the talent I stole, it was all me dammit! New signing AJ Styles seemed to think this a problem, coming to El Nuevo Rey's aid after his rematch at the next months PPV, but he shook my hand! swerve! take that marks! I know what your think, what's this got to do with Yabo? Yabo would be leading a whole contingency of TWC originals against The Republic, saying after driving out Lashley, he would rid TWC of these invaders that didn't take the company to heights it was at now (Cult, soon to be National). The problem was Yabo was ruthlessly beaten down at every TV show, at was forced into a month long feud with Catch Point from the evil booker man (me). At the *MYIRLNAME* Birthday Bash (The main event is a MITB gimmick), Yabo had barley earned a spot in the six man Full Metal Mayhem match, and the best part, he had denied Heath Miller his spot, and much of the Republic was either too busy, or were taken out over the previous weeks, both by Yabo and a mysterious figure. This was the moment he was waiting for, it was all clear for Yabo The Clown to earn that coveted title match! Then Jon Moxley Happened... Yabo and the rest of the group was taken completely off-guard as Moxley made his TWC debut, revealing himself as having taken out Samoa Joe and Miz, and HE would be the won to win the Ultimate Birthday Wish. Moxley would go on to win the Television Title (Just because he could) the following night, and set out to aim for the Republic full sail, except Yabo didn't take kindly to that idea. Yabo told Moxley he was a fake, a weak projection that was a joke, and most importantly, just another reject that wanted some time in the sun here in TWC, Yabo The Clown's house HE helped build. Thus began a 4 month long war between the two, first blood match, lights out match, teaming together against The Republic, he was vicious, and in the end...Moxley won, keeping his title shot, but he had earned the "respect" if you can call it that, of Mr. Moxley. Finally June, The Pro Circut Invitational, Yabo NEEDED to win if he could ever call himself a true wrestler, and he proved that with a win over Heath, a win over Miz, win over Nuevo Rey, and finally, AJ Styles stood in his way, the match was one of Yabo's best, this match in game really pushed him to become a main event star, but he still lost, but something interesting happened that had HUGE ramifications down the line. AJ HAD TO CHEAT, he nearly lost to the clown, THE CLOWN, and CHAD (still the champ) was not happy, Yabo The Clown had created a crack in The Republic, and he didn't even know it yet. Yabo would assert that the tournament was stolen from him, that he needed to face CHAD, and eventually at Do You Remember? 2023, he finally did get that match, you know who else got that match? Jon Moxley. You know who managed to walk out of the match champion? Jon Moxley. After all that, Yabo could have become like his former friend, Colby Corino (who urged him to do so) but he chose a different path, no more did he blame society, or The Republic, or even Moxley, he began the real path to greatness, beating all that had wronged him on his path to the rematch with Moxley. He beat Colby, beat Hall, beat Tommy End who beat him all those years ag, he finally beat AJ to avenge the injustice in June, and even beat CHAD to earn himself a title match at TWC Triversary IV. Sold Out Crowd, the Legendary Wrigley Field (This is in December btw, I don't care if your cold sit down and buy the merch mark), and he went one on one with World Heavyweight Champion, Jon Moxley! No Republic (A massive split had happened with Camp CHAD and Camp AJ, who formed T.O.P with Samoa Joe and Miz), not outside interference, no jokes, no excuses. And with the Tight Rope Leg Drop, right in the center of the ring... Yabo The Clown, FINALLY, won the TWC World Heavyweight Championship (96, so close to MOTY). and such the save came to an end, we hit Global the same week the show aired. Best natural end to a save that has ever been crafted. Also the friend that choose to sign Yabo? He got a good chuckle out of it, mission accomplished.

WrestleLyfe: Year 4 (August 2022 - May 2024) Long update since it includes a year of wrestling and about six months of waiting. The biggest news is In August 2023, I resigned from ELPF. I had hard-capped myself with 3 years in the promotion, and while I really wanted to get out earlier, but I stuck with it all the way to Anniversary III. While it was nice to be able to use the Autobooker for TV where nothing but matches happen, Faux MMA is still probably my least favorite type of product, especially to "RP" for. Looking back I could have just done a Japanese style promotion, but not like that matters now. Overall the ELPF is now in direct competition with EWA for the dominate promotion in Europe. I could legit put myself on TV and cut the "I made that organization a monster" part of the Hulk Hogan heel turn promo, just as I left they started averaging around $80,000 a month. This is a big trend for other companies as well, WrestleWorld has made many of the Independent Wrestling companies into large companies, a new wrestling boom indeed (If they can keep it.) I've never been far enough to see it, but only a few companies are really doing "bad", mostly the smaller indie feds like YEPW or Sumatra Championship Wrestling (I added some companies with logos from either C97, other promotion add ons, or just random logos I liked the look of. After I left, the only real opening I had was CWA, who are currently $6 million in debt, but they sold CEO to The Force, and he wanted the book too brother. They have no broadcasting deals, and simply refuse to get more, Force hasn't helped matters, even gave himself a raise! TEW's Ryan Alvarez has a great book ahead of him "Death of CWA". CZCW blew past TCW for the #3 world position, still #4 in the USA, but their OnDem deal is giving them great exposure across the entire world! SWF is gaining on USPW, a real war between the former #1 slowly but surely gaining ground internationally, having back to back Wrestler of the Year Mainstream Hernandez certainly helps SWF (especially with him resigning him). After a whole lot of nothing, I finally got a gig with APW, when longtime booker Sean Quartermaine stepped down (not sure as to why), and my application was approved, I'm heading down under! PG Sports Entertainment, gotta get those kids outta here brother, I'm being creative! The roster is a mixed bag, not really in terms of talent or overness, but alot of jobber fodder and some old age, reminds me of pre new gen WWF. Fortunately I got Will Beaumont, Pookie Possum, Monday Next, Christopher Gerard, Gregory Grace, & Dingo Devine to hold the main event scene. In order to keep things up to speed with how fast I was going with ELPF (won't be as fast since I want to actually book but thats besides the point.) so I created a list of overarching stories to carry us into the season finale, Ozfest in January. Dingo Devine dropped the Commonwealth title to Monday Next, and will feud with Possum, Gerard, & Beaumont for the rest of the year , Beaumont will probably get that coveted 1v1 at Ozfest, with Next ducking him all the way. The Midcard is currently (and will be for the future) dominated by Goliath Global (The Duo (tag champs) & Massacre(Australian)), with some new faces being built to face off with them. I have some ideas of who it could be but still in the infancy stages of the build. Lone Shark will be feuding with White Wasp in a 95'DOD style feud with the addition of some new allies for Wasp, including The Great Sora (The Great Avatar). I feel its gotta be luck I get to book Avatars (the only real standout acts for them are EL Avatar (OLLIE) and The Masked Avatar (USPW)), I renamed him for one good reason, my LARGEST storyline to date. Sean Quartermaine wouldn't be taking this yankee takeover of his commentary table lightly. He openly said he had two hot new signings on the way to APW, and after a Possum & Gerard match, debuted "The 5K Alliance" of Jack Avatar and Yuta Isono, his team which will come to dominate EVERY Division of APW. It'll be a hard struggle to get these guys to the top of the card in the span that I have, but I hope to do it so the full vision I have for the story comes to pass, it might be my favorite one I've come up with in a long time, simple but sweet. For now they'll be working on getting to Tag Team gold, but I think with the booking plans that should be coming in short order. Of course this is all with the assumption I don't get to land a bigger role with a bigger company, we'll have to see...

I usually do a similar gimmick with TV titles, although I have it at a large # of defenses like 15, I like the idea of 4 cause it can buios up to a lot of different PPV encounters in a short time (which I need as ai run up a bunch of diffeent matches then get wroters block lol)

just popping in to say these absolutely rock, I think 90% of my replaced logos in TEW are from you

Personally, I would do that tournament, not that anyone would be against a little save scumming (you know you've done it), I like when the "real world" throws a wrench into the booking plans, as a "replacement" (Not that you could every replace Keith, except maybe with the other keith ) Unrelated, but I personally recommend Logan Wolfsbaine as a hire (if available). You could have him go a pretty long way in the tournament or even win it, I'm doing a BCG save and the guy is a beast if booked correctly, which usually just consists of standard Young Boy matches until at recognizable. WrestleLyfe: Year 3 (Late 2022) Not much as happened in my quest for being the greatest Booker of all time, only company to have a booking shakeup was RIPW, who gave the book to Giant Redwood. I will never forget that email, and I plan on crushing the SWF into nothingness someday, for now I'm content to dominate Europe. EWA are the only company infront of us, with VWA in third, UEW in forth, and the newly opened Modern Viking Wrestling in last. Europe basically is having a boom period, rising economy, wrestling industry, its really cool to see, as usually I don't get this far in a c-verse game and/or notice. I guess some good has come out of my European Vacation afterall. Inside The European League of Professional Fighters, not much is going on, growth is good, the little storylines I've done (basic build a guy up and have him win, I like to think its a good test for a random booker in kayfabe speak) have all worked out great, we've just had a refreshing of the roster, giving younger talent a time to shine with some oldies out the way, mostly from the heavyweight division. Irwin Gutmann (Middleweight Champ), Welsh Dragon (Former Openweight), Lone Wolf(current and x2 Heavyweight Champ), and Michael Gregory (Former and Longest Reigning Heavyweight Champ) have all come onto their own, and add to the well established names like Edison Silva, Quake, Doomsday, Jasper January, and Andriy Boronin. I gave a last hurrah to Manuel Dias, winning the lightweight title from dominating champ Boronin. He then got Loyalty with me, so wholesome . Boris Kriyakin and Annihilus Strongly dislike me, not wholesome, not sure how that happened lol, I figure drugs and fighting, oh well, this business aint ballet after all. Some new names I'm looking to build is Wes Stryker, Fabian Schwarz, World's Finest, Aleksander Knyazev, and Cub Balowicz. This is all ignoring the idea that a big company comes a calling, I 'll probably even leave the company after Anniversary III (late 2023). Outside Europe, mostly everything is the same, although some crazy stuff happened. SWF launched the SWF Network, CZCW is coming up to become the #4 US promotion with murder in their eyes & money in there pockets. FCW went out of business (rip) and 21CW have really struggled with BOTH Cornells and Leigh Burton leaving for America (To USPW and SWF respectfully). Overall an interesting world is slowly coming about, and I intend to lead one company to the top of the card.

Depends on the context of how you are pushing the TV title, when I do a WCW save at this time I usually also go for a battle royal with just guys who I figure out will be challenging for it, midcarders or lower midcarders for old push red sake. last we saw of the tv title it was literally in the trash so either you see it as tainted or no where to go but up. The flip side of the TV title is its flexibility, no one is expecting huge 2012 CM punk reigns, but it just makes those suprisingly long reigns mean even more. A good starting point is asking WHO you want to be the first Champion, is it a well established vet, or a random new talent you want to give a reign to. If its a established name, maybe a small tournament with a mix of those categories will mean more, but a young gun winning in a battle royal overcoming the odds is a good establishing moment for them.

Good Booking as well, although I notice a distinct lack of Greg Gauge on the card, did he get injuried?

In September of 2021, so a little more then a year ingame since my journey REALLY started, still in ELPF, still suffering. I've grown to the pop available to Have Events & TV WrestleWorld Europe, which as many might now, is a huge double edge sword, on one hand, especially in Europe, it will take YEARS IN GAME to get on any broadcaster so not only is it an opportunity to expand, but it also helps getting those other bigger deals down the line, but on the other hand, WrestleWorld bleeds money. I'm barley scarping by, but I'm hoping a blitzkrieg method of having TV and a few events to gain as much pop as possible. Not a smart idea but what can be done. I'm absolutley salty that RAW, 21CW, AND EILL all had bookers leave and rejected my application! Don't they know who I am! regardless for now my wrestling journey has me stuck in Europe, but I will become the greatest booker of all time, eventually... Not much has changed over in ELPF, I did add a Middleweight Division, with Antonio Arias and Irwin Gutmann being massive standouts. New Heavyweight Champ Michael Gregory has kicked all kinds of butt, getting massive ratings in an otherwise meh division. Lightweight division is still really stacked, with new champ Andriy Boronin might be one of the first ELPF born and raised we've had. And the last real title I have, the Openweight title, was being held by 2 time champ (Sheik) Al-Ali Avatar, because thats funny, and he gets decent ratings. Unfortunately 21CW alum Lone Wolf ran him over and claimed the belt for himself. I do TV now, but its all autobooked cause I don't care enough to really try with that, also with the product its more for show then anything else. I still run multiple shows, but have gone from 3 to 2. Outside of my company, USPW are still #1, cementing the position with Tommy Cornell joining early late last year, TCW are going strong with a strong main event scene, SWF are doing okay, they signed 21CW wrestler Leigh Burton away (???), EILL and CWA are still okay, everything is okay, no crazy things have happened....yet.

I agree with everyone sentiments here, personally I had two different paths for running into the Cverse, these were the first time I did it and honestly it got me to the point I just don't like booking any RW anymore, its just not creative enough for me to do wacky stuff. 1. A big name company (In 2016 I did SWF, they should work in 2020 but you have 5 big options to chose from based on your style) but the bonus of just as a sandbox, no owner goals (being owner is probably the safest bet) just booking and taking talent that you want from the AI, I even used the editor in a few cases. Its a fun way to blow off steam and learn the database, I even went as far as going all the way to 2022 and having some "Interesting" booking ideas. 2.A really small company that won't get raided too much, and book them in a more "serious" manner. 2020 has a good amount of them, my go to ones in 2016 were AAA and 5SSW, Japan in touring is both a mix and a curse, if you don't like the touring thing you could use auto booker, but 2020 America has a large amount of nice indies that suit most styles/preferences. I also recommend Europe as crazy as it might sound, they have some interesting characters (most have retired in 2020 but the young talent is starting to intrige as well), I had a good 2 year save with EWA that helped me establish familiarity to the area and C-verse as a whole. Also ZEN, ZEN is the best, plain and simple.

In a 2004 WWE brand split save with a friend, I had Shawn Michaels and Scott Steiner as the semi main event, my first 100 in TEW 2020. Scott got a 69 (lol) and Shawn a 90ish, which I think is really cool that you can have a great match with a great wrestler and a not so great one (no disrespect to big papa irl of course) The best part about this was in my opening angle, Triple H DEMANDED the main event of that show to show he was a better wrestler then Shawn, he wrestled Christian (I think) and got a 80. Comedy writes itself sometimes...

Doing a concept save called WrestleLyfe, going for the long haul, added some to debut companies and workers (various mods) and looking to get booking positions higher and higher, although I have a fixed time frame before I can leave (unless its a stupid idea, like USPW needs a new booker). My User Character is custom made, a slightly decent booking and owner rep, not sure if that has to do anything with getting jobs but not that it matters too much, can work as com or a manager if be. I left all other Avatar characters on for maximum lols. Didn't have to wait too long, in September of 2020 one Robert Montgomery Sr, flys over to France to establish The European League of Professional Fighters., of course it had to be them. Not only do I hate the Faux-MMA product, but Europe is a hard egg to crack, I may be staying around for a few years but I want to GROW dammit! I send in my app and of course I get the job. Owner goals on but of course I get "No Brawlers" perfect for my European based Heavyweight Division, truly a divine comedy. I segment the roster into Light and Heavyweight divisions, with titles for them respectively. Third title is the Openweight title, anyone can get it, I have this for 2 reasons. 1: It was on a pic pack I found, and 2: MMA Wrestling is like an oxymoron, so if I'm going to suffer I'm atleast going to have some fun. As much as I poo poo it, the product does make for a really quick schedule, and I've flew thru it in one day, starting in September, I'm already nearing March of 2021. I do a ELPF "Main" event (UFC like) and two cheap ticket ones with ELPF Paris and ELPF Amsterdam, they usually have some simple matches, I might start autobooking them except for the title match headline of each one (I swap heavyweight and lightweight with one per minor show) Heavyweight star Doomsday at first almost lost the belt by being a baby after I won't give him a huge raise, but after the lockeroom got better (I was averaging 2 fights a night) he's finally started to pay dividends as champ, but I might have him drop the belt soon for variety sake. Edison Silva was a great get and even better first champion for the lightweight division, I may have only signed him for the last name meme and 21CW status, but with the right opponent (and my lightweights are pretty good overall) he easily either steals or seals the show if he's on semi or main event respectively, he's had great matches with Andriy Boronin and Manuel Dias especially, they might be one of those magic moments to get the belt off him, but we'll see. The Openweight champion Jasper January is another potential beater of Silva, he's beat back most if not all credible threats from the Heavyweight division (I've tried to have the opposite weight class try to beat the champ, I might change this up after a bit), so his time shall be coming very soon, Quake, Otto Hammerschmidt, or World's Finest are all great champs, but I might give Ali Al-Avatar a rub just because I think that's funny. I don't have a huge concept since I think that might slow me down, but I might do a G1 like round robin cause why not. All in the name of trying (in vain) to get a PPV or TV deal, but never say never. Outside of my little hobble, USPW continues to be #1 by ruthlessly signing up others talents, SWF has most of their talent in check, Valiant was a loss tho. TCW lost Mighty Mo and Sammy Bach but Jay Chord, Greg Gauge, Aaron Andrews, and Wolf Hawkins have been holding the line quite well (In Fanbases in the USA alone, TCW are #1). T-Bone Bright yelled at Minors on twitter (lol). CWA and EILL are doing well, but CWA did just losing Cameron Vessey and Sean McFly are big losses (Vessey especially) and 21CW have nearly swept the end year awards but Tommy Cornell might jump ship and a blow that big could easily end their ambitions of world domination if they aren't careful. Australia and India are boring right now and Japan is just BHOTWG settling into a great grove while PGHW are struggling to keep up, but not as bad as they could be.

Doing a concept save called WrestleLyfe, going for the long haul, added some to debut companies and workers (various mods) and looking to get booking positions higher and higher, although I have a fixed time frame before I can leave (unless its a stupid idea, like USPW needs a new booker) Currently I'm booking for Robert Montgomery Sr's European League of Professional Fighters. A great start for sure....
