New York City… Home of the brave and land of the free… Choosing to be the living embodiment of new broom sweeps clean, I looked at the roster of youngsters I’d signed to pre-show contracts. And then I panicked. It was a fair bit of money to be spending on workers who weren’t actively helping my initial growth. One-by-one I introduced myself to the boys (and girls) and then set about the New Year’s cleaning. I fired: Ron South & Rock Downpour – Me and Ernie would work the show microphones. Devastating Don – Bad wrestler, no momentum and a bad backstage presence. The only other small change I’d make was moving Super Massive Destroyer and Machine Gun Marino to the pre-show to allow them to experience wrestling with anyone else not on the main show. I doubted I’d miss them in the short term. And Larry set me my goals. Goals NYCW must improve on 17th NYCW must gain popularity No Technician Flyer No Daredevil No Brawler No f*k!ng brawlers. It’s not like that was some weird and wonderful brand of wrestlers. He was effectively telling me; don’t hire any standard US wrestlers. Utter nonsense. If nothing else that would further limit new signings and roster churn. So he really was intent on me creating magic from the scrub-tacular group I had. With the new-look logo in place, I then set about sorting the tired and predictable schedule. Everyone else was running a show a month, I was looking to build to 5 big shows a year: Rush Hour – January The King of New York – April Summer Smash – June Gang Wars – September Cage Clash – December In between these I would come up with some more themed regular shows as I toyed with any methods I could to get fans in and not bankrupt the company. *** Building towards our first show, I began going through the current storylines playing out. Most appeared to be heading to a conclusion, which meant I could play around soon, but they also gave me enough of a structure to launch the first few shows of the new era. On the evening of the Rush Hour, I tried to take my mind off the stress of it all by reading through the Dirt Sheets. I noticed that Miller Fforde had claimed the Rip Chord Invitational in MAW, which made sense. Tommy Cornell, arguably the biggest name in the universe of professional wrestling had broken his leg in a match with his brother Edward and was out for six months. He wasn’t alone in injury as Sean McFly from CWA had a badly herniated disc and was out for a year. Then I saw a small article with headline ‘Boastful Brutus’ – Apparently our top champion and face of the company has claimed to be the biggest star in NYCW and should be given the chance to carry the company. Hmmm. On the opposite side of the locker room I saw Hawkeye Calhoun telling road stories to the younger guys. While New York Doll (always a bit of friendly trouble) was being sentenced by wrestler’s court for making a mess. Larry banged his toy gavel and told him to buy drinks after the show. Doll laughed in response. The crowd started to enter. A mix of ages and genders. I tried to memorise as many faces as I could. It was always useful to know if we had any hardcore fans who turned up to all the shows. The pre-show youngsters looked nervous, so I gave a short speech to calm them down and then I noticed something… Denny King and Fern Hathaway looked very… cosy. And with that, it was time for the first show proper… NYCW Rush Hour 2020 Saturday, Week 4, January, 2020 Weston Gymnasium, New York City, New York Attendance: 300 (SOLD OUT!?!) SINGLES MATCH: Chuck Casey vs. Richie Riggins In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Richie Riggins defeated Chuck Casey in 8:05 by pinfall with a Body Bag. Rating: 26 And lo, the new era begins. Something of a hoss fight here between two guys with no storyline. I liked the upside of Chuck, but Richie is an established midcard guy and along with Cheerleader Nikki we need to keep him relatively sturdy for more important matches. I’ve effectively broken up The Casey Brothers for the time being, so that Tully can help with the younger performers. NYCW TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The LA Stars vs. The Boys from the Yukon © In a decent match, The Boys From The Yukon defeated The LA Stars in 9:52 when Howlin' Mad Mort pinned LA Star #1 with a Tiiiiiiiiiiimber. The Boys From The Yukon make defence number one of the NYCW Tag Team titles. Rating: 31 Not up for switching all titles straight away. The tag division is going to be something that I invest a lot in going forward in hopes that the titles might even become as prestigious as the Empire Title. Boys from the Yukon are a solid, if unspectacular team of big lads. The former champs would get another shot down the line, but not just yet. SINGLES MATCH: Crockett Tubbs vs. The New York Doll In a decent match, Crockett Tubbs defeated The New York Doll in 9:50 by submission with a Subway STF. Rating: 33 Two solid in-ring hands with little in the way of character. Crockett’s momentum was in the toilet, so he gets the win here in an unsurprisingly proficient match thanks to their chemistry. Perfectly Acceptable Wrestling. NYCW TRI-STATE TITLE MATCH: Denny King vs. Masked Stranger © In a decent match, Denny King defeated Masked Stranger in 9:41 by pinfall by using brass knuckles and the ropes for leverage. Denny King wins the NYCW Tri-State Regional title. Rating: 31 Gotta have some change on your first show. Stranger is a great performer, but his story with King was nearing a conclusion and I like to keep the titles on heels for the sake of ‘the chase.’ Now obviously this relies on having someone worthy to do the chasing. But that was step two. Title change as step one was complete. ANGLE: Sal DiMeo is out with his family (Luca and Vito) and a microphone. “Well, well, well, what we got here? A bunch of pencil-necked, New York phonys! Look at you all, sitting there in your fat boy clothes watching real men fight one another. It’s pathetic! Not as pathetic as the masked freaks who call themselves Brooklyn’s Finest, like their some kind of award-winning pastrami. Well, me and the boys are gonna make their lives a living Hell, because nobody messes with the Family!” Rating: 34 Was a thick Italian-American accent with undertones of mafiosa lifestyle a little xenophobic in 2020? Possibly. But hey this is wrestling, not the opera. Plus an effective heel believes the lie his telling. Now, having actually met Sweet Sal, I’m not actually sure it’s an act. But regardless, he can generate some low-level heat with his words, so I’d let him. All three at least look the part, which is half the battle. GANG WARS MATCH: Geoff Borne & Brooklyn’s Finest vs. The DiMeo Family In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The DiMeo Family (Sal DiMeo, Vito Pirelli and Luca Sacramoni) defeated Geoff Borne and Brooklyn's Finest in 10:03 when Vito Pirelli pinned Freedom Eagle, illegally using the ropes for leverage. Rating: 31 Yes, I know having multiple screwy finishes wasn’t ideal. But they are supposed to be cheaters. I had asked for Borne to take the fall in this one, but presumably they called an audible in the ring. I trusted Brooklyn’s Finest both as a team and individuals so it was fine. The DiMeo Family needed a boost to bring them into the same level as their opponents. So the story continues. SINGLES MATCH: ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus vs. Andrew Harper In a decent match, Andrew Harper defeated Riley McManus in 21:40 by pinfall with a Spike Slam. Rating: 33 I’d heard the nickname The Georgia Bulldog somewhere and I liked it. McManus might just be the best all-round, in-ring talent we have. But there was something alluring about Andrew Harper. Was it that he’s a hoss? Maybe. Was it that he put people through tables? Quite possibly. These two have been tearing it up for months and I have no reason to stop that for the time being. Plus we have limited upper-midcard heels, so it made sense to keep Harper strong. ANGLE: Tennessee William is out in his fake Elvis gear, and carrying a guitar which I’m pretty sure he doesn’t know how to play. He’s here to speak before the main event. “Alright, alright, alright. It’s me, it’s me, it’s your boy Tennessee. Back in the big city. Ready to reclaim the big gold belty. With my eyes to the future intentionally, without any sentimentality I will rule with authenticity, this place called New York City.” Rating: 63 Well that was weird. But the crowd love to boo this guy and have for years, so I’m still happy for him to go off-script. Even if that turns into a weird, medieval-style poem NYCW EMPIRE TITLE MATCH: Tennessee William vs. Brutus Milano © In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Brutus Milano defeated Tennessee William in 9:46 by submission with an Italian Backbreaker. Brutus Milano makes defence number two of the NYCW Empire title. Rating: 45 Larry loved Brutus. And because I planned on hiring some brawlers down the line, I wanted to keep the old man sweet. Plus there was something about someone who was obviously geared to appeal to a certain ethnic audience unique to New York City. Sure Brutus wasn’t the best in-ring worker, but he was over. There was no denying that. I guess what I’m saying is, I can see the appeal of a muscle-bound Italian-American who can make people submit with a backbreaker into a stretch. I wondered what his ceiling was in the company though. Could we redefine the entire main event to suit his limited skillset? It was an interesting thought-experiment at best. OVERALL RATING: 44 A good show to kick things off I think. We’d have bumps along the way, but for this night; everything went about as well as I could’ve hoped. Backstage I was met was some faces I wasn’t expecting. It seemed Larry had invited some old friends of his from wrestling’s recent past. A group of guys famous from long-defunct promotions. Chris Caulfield, The Nation of Filth, the towering McWade Brothers to name the most noticeable. “New kid,” he called over the shoulder of the behemoth-sized Java. “I want you to meet the old crew.” “The soon-to-be retired crew,” called out Tribal Warrior and the group laughed. Spending an evening with all these old could-have-beens and almost-weres. They knew how to spin yarns and drink beers. Even the younger guys got involved and we had something of an impromptu party. A few of them were sniffing around for one last pay day, which I gently ignored. Most though just look happy to be backstage again for the first time in a long time. For the first time, I sort of understood why Larry was so enamoured with old school wrestling. Next time on New York City Wrestling… We expand to two shows, and Brooklyn’s Finest go off-script again…

This is a Cornellverse dynasty, inspired by the original dynasty by BriFidelity all those years ago and by the irrepressible InfinityWPI’s Welcome to the Zone series. Finally Historian’s incredible No Ordinary Man. Seems wrong not to mention them all. Anyone whose followed my diaries before knows the usual approach; import the best workers from the independent scene. Bury the original roster to make new stars, switch to a modern style and then systematically destroy the Confederation of the Territories. This time however, will be different. First things first; the Confederation of the Territories. I was going to make it my mission to help the COTT flourish. As part of that, I wouldn’t be stealing workers who already performed for any of the companies in the confederation. Only loans and trades for one-off matches. On top of that, I would try and avoid moving all the titles onto my performers to the detriment of the other territories. Would it work? Who knows, but it’s there for a reason and variety is the spice of life. Secondly, I planned on running multiple matches with young unemployed wrestlers as pre-show events. This would be a way to give them experience, training and character work without exposing, (or over-exposing) them on the main shows. This means in theory I could have some of my best in-ring talent appearing on the pre-show rather than the main roster.

“A hundred times I have thought; New York is a catastrophe.” - Le Corbusier New York City doesn’t stop. It’s a living, breathing monument to chaos and beauty. And I won’t stop because despite the drama and anxiety; there is simply nowhere else I’d choose to be. We were destined to do this until one of us died. And let’s be serious, New York City will live forever. Weston Gymnasium. New Year's Day 2020. Yup, I was back. Nothing kept me away for too long. The stale smell of sweat, blood and tears permeated every surface. The familiar broom cupboard office. The white board in the main hall. The gruff owner steeped in old school wrestling history. And me, trying my best to understand what my role was this time. How do you make something old; new? More importantly, how do you do that and grow and succeed? How do you present something impossibly, yet unashamedly stuck in the past as urgent. And necessary. Wrestling fans were smart and they knew the deal. Give them what they want, even if they’re not sure what that is until you do it. The whole New York City Wrestling gig was more straight-forward before the impossible rise of United States Pro Wrestling. A kid-friendly promotion of big names and big personalities. They had hoovered up all the talent we’d normally utilise and offered a higher resolution version of it. Then there was still the original big two; SWF and TCW. They had cornered the market in Sports Entertainment and Technical showcases. There were plenty of lucha libre companies, while PSW did hardcore and CZCW did fast-paced, high-flying action. In a world where everyone was bigger, more polished and had every element of professional wrestling covered; what was the point of New York City Wrestling? That’s a question I needed to answer in order to become successful. Larry Vessey entered with the swagger of a man who was absolutely sure, in his soul, that there was nothing scarier than him in the entire city. He had a small notepad with a few words scribbled on the front and a loose spider diagram. “No time for pleasantries kid. We’ve got work to do.” He flashed the pad at me, and the centre of the diagram read ‘Confederate or Die.’ Who doesn’t love the drama? It seemed before we figured out what we were, we were going to secure our long-term status by way of the alliance. Confederation of the Territories Headquarters. Mid-Atlantic Region. Rich mahogany furniture, an enormous shiny, wooden table and around it a group of middle-aged men smoking cigars and telling stories of the golden age. If you removed the mobile phones from the scene, it could’ve come straight from the 1980s. Larry had wanted me to meet his fellow owners and understand the way things were run away from the bright lights of the big boys. Sam Keith, legendary wrestler-turned-owner was chair of the meeting. Along with the impresario of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, we also had Gil Thomas owner of IPW, looking pale and sweaty. Cliff Anderson, owner of CZCW with a broad smile on his face. And the legendary Phoenix I, wearing his orange mask as the owner and representative of OLLIE. These companies along with NYCW are the Founding Five. The original members of this insane, yet relatively successful alliance of territorial promotions. Keith ran down the orders for the meeting. Today was the day the Confederation inducted two new promotions to the ranks. Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling out of Pennsylvania and FREEDOM Caribbean Wrestling from Puerto Rico. Their owners; Mitch Naess; legend of former indy darling DAVE and the impossibly large Puerto Rican Power sat around the table in tailored suits, completely at odds with the casual gym attire of Larry. The meeting was professional and cordial, but the old regional mentalities can’t be easily shaken. The Founding Five all agreed, unanimously to the inclusion of the new blood. What followed was a brief introduction to the group for me. Silence fell on the room like a hammer made of feathers. The kind of silence where people coughed, looked around and then smiled vacantly. I took my opportunity and suggested that with more members, perhaps we should introduce a new title. A mid-range one, which wouldn’t take away from the prestige of the World Title. My suggestion was met with another awkward silence. This one was punctured by Sam Keith who said they’d take it under advisement and then glared at Larry. The old man, to his credit, ignored the obvious visual communication. The conversation moved on to Gil Thomas, owner of IPW who was furious with Grimm SoCal Wrestling and was going to start a small-scale media war against his rival. The board murmured in agreement instantly, clearly with zero interest in the rapper-turned promoter Brother Grimm. The final contribution came from Larry himself. He suggested greater use of the loan system, combined with a new unwritten rule about poaching. The group murmured and a mere half an hour later had rejected the suggestion. Larry, never one to be ignored, informed them that even if it hadn’t passed, he had no intention of signing any of their workers outside of loan deals, and he hoped they’d do the same. It was, the honourable way to behave. So that’s how we were going to do things.

KB bringing the thunder once again. All of these are perfect you hero.

They do indeed. Thank you so much.

I know this is a long shot. but has anyone rendered a pair who look like the Briscoe Brothers. Kind of wild, redneck hillbillies? I have a plan for the Taggs.

Yup, that was the thinking with the likes of Flair, Bockwinkel and Savage. If there are too many, or any you don't think should apply beyond Piper, let me know. Although I think through testing Piper normally ends up joining the WWF in 1984. I don't think there are any written contracts at start date. But the combo of Vince's business settings mean the WWF often offer Exclusive Written contracts to the stars they sign. Although I believe from last round of testing there's only a handful each year who are signed (barring retirements, deaths or leaving the business).

Well this is all great stuff. Keep it coming please. Happy to amend any and all errors, missteps etc. To answer a few; Experience was approached broadly based upon their ages. Obviously for someone like Gordy, that isn't the case. Will amend. Portland, Sugar Brown, Stagger Lee, Midnight Rider (genuinely thought this wasn't until later in the year, my mistake) will amend, as I will Beverley Shade. TV Title - I have no idea what happened there. Is the date at least correct from when he won it? Regardless, I'll correct. Thank you for your work looking through it though. It's really appreciated.

ALPHA RELEASE Having hit a slight wall with editing, I thought it best to send out an early version for people to look at. Any issues, problems, amends, thoughts and everything in between, please let me know: DATA PICS

Wonderful. I love the collaborative nature from the community of this game. I will credit you and start pilfering some of the stuff in there. Ooo Taker has some narratives for the 1980s too. I'm going to grab them too. Huzzah.

Question/Request 1. Does anyone have an updated Injuries Mod, preferably with the silly ones removed and more in-depth options? I can do this myself, but if someone already has I'd be keen to use it. 2. The Title Pics I have aren't great, and they're missing some. Does anyone have a relatively high-res title belt pack? Or, would any creative types want to recreate real-world titles like Cornellverse ones for me?

Hah. Bugger. Ok, I’ll have a look at that and remove any unnecessary titles.

**UPDATE 20/09/21** Total Workers: 1,774 Bios Written: 1,250/1,774 Worker Pictures: 1,250/1,774 Title Histories: Complete 1. I've added a few titles to smaller companies to stop the AI artificially creating weird sounding titles like 'No. 1 Contenders' etc. 2. Removed some of the tournaments which aren't set to begin within a year of kick-off. 3. Amended all titles prestige levels to match the rough popularity of each promotion and thus avoid any being discontinued unnecessarily. 4. Run multiple tests to make sure there are no over-the-top workers. Happy with the last 3 as MACW run with Race vs. Flair in the main event and some combination of Piper/Valentine next on the list. 5. Upgraded some WWF popularities to stop them signing up a dozen top free agents on day one. Only thing I'm struggling with is Andre the Giant not allowing himself to be jobbed out every week. But should find a decent balance. 6. Finished amending UK, Japan and Mexico popularity for main workers as they should be treated as important where they're based, but less so outside of that region in most cases. 7. Thanks to stat corrections the Top 500 is no longer dominated by luchadors and all Japanese workers, much more healthy balance in my opinion. 8. Added a couple of narratives for flavour, but which have no impact on gameplay. 9. Added starting storylines for companies which require them. In most cases its just a rough idea of what was happening and only those famous stories (Stagger Lee, Piper/Valentine) get a write-up. What's left is Bios and Pictures for all the new workers. I might pinch them from other mods where the writing is good to help speed me along to BETA release quicker. Then all I need to add is 'Agers' and we should be good for testing.

Listening to it is what inspired me to pick it back up. You’re absolutely right, it’s superb.

**UPDATE 05/09/21** Total Workers: 1,782 Bios Written: 1,187/1,782 Worker Pictures: 1,187/1,782 Logos (Company, TV, Event): Not complete Rookies As you can see I've added a further 600+ Yet-to-Debut workers. I have standardised their starting stats based on the awesome advice given by jbergey_2005. As part of the overall nerfing of the game world, their starting stats are lower than normal and allow a certain amount of chaos and RNG about who might become stars of the future. Titles Plan is to rewrite all title histories to match the format used when playing the game (e.g. Wk 1, January 1983) Still working my way through these one at a time. TV/Broadcasters Going to leave this now until the BETA and let you guys tell me how it plays. Obviously with games like this you'll never get it perfect, my hope is to just make it work within the confines of the game system (although there is plenty within TEW2020 to really help mods like this, notably... Narratives...) Narratives Added a number of narratives to enhance the feeling of actually being part of the territory system and being in the cut-and-thrust. This is good news for WWF and MACW games, less good for the likes of GCW, MSW and WCCW. Tidbits More tinkering for young workers stats so that people like Davey Boy Smith and Rick Rude don't immediately win the NWA World Heavyweight Title. Remaining Issues Mexico, Japan and UK are now better positioned not to run roughshod over the wrestling world. I've limited certain workers by region having initially unlocked all regions for all workers. Probably going to add narratives to simulate the complete death of the British area, thus making it a real challenge to run promotions like BTW and JPUK. I also need to increase the popularity of the older generation of workers otherwise the AI struggles to make new stars and remain at a big size.

Hey there, this would be super helpful please.

Just read the deal with Ole dropping the titles back after a brief soujourn to GCW. Have reverted them back to MACW ownership. Might bump the Mid-Atlantic tag team titles prestige down to allow the possibility of them being discontinued after a couple of years. I'm also struggling to find a way to recreate Black Saturday. I'm thinking best way might be in the Narratives section, although I've struggled to get them to work consistently (no doubt something I'm doing wrong). Hopefully it lives up to expectations.

If it works with you, I’ll send the data once I’m done with the basics and you can have a look and correct anything I’ve got wrong?

Excellent, cheers dude. As soon as I do I'll get it your way.

I've extracted the data from the database and have started working my way through to effectively make sure that the stats aren't horribly overblown or to correct things which don't quite add up. Almost every worker will see some change in some of their stats. Obviously with a database of this size, it's a mammoth job, but I'm hopeful. For the sake of ease I've changed every male wrestlers Sex Appeal to 8/100 and as I work my way through if there are any which are specifically considered 'sexy' at this time then I'll change it. I've also worked on nerfing the Japanese and Mexican workers both in terms of ability and popularity because in the old version CMLL, AJPW and NJPW would dominate the global game within a couple of years and have basically all the top 50 workers in the world. I think whoever worked on those areas before was a bit over the top. Finally I've reduced broad popularity as I don't think it's realistic to have promotions at this time putting on 85+ rated matches up and down the cards. Generally the big star for each promotion has decent popularity in their region and the rest are there to suppliment them. If there was anything in particular you think needs looking at, or changed I'm happy to do so though. Open to suggestions to anyone whose played the data a lot.
