Gods, I can't wait. The anticipation is driving me insane.

If you like Ring of Honor, Total Championship Wrestling is probably the equal to that as it is a more in-ring based type of federation. They'll likely have fallen to Cult level (and hopefully alive), so unless they've changed that would be a way to go. For an ECW type of federation probably Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling (PSW) is the way to go. Though in 2016, hardcore wrestling sort of fell to the wayside in the US in CornellVerse, so if you want a true Hardcore federation, you'd probably need to go over to Scottish National Promotions (SNP) in the British Isles to get exactly ECW style. 4C in Canada or ACPW (if alive) would probably be good promotions to work with. I would probably say 4C likely has a chance of still being alive in TEW2020. Japan has Warrior Engine XXV (WEXXV) is definitely the ECW hardcore type of fed, though that leans more heavily into the brawling hardcore than having technical matches, so it might not be for you. As for something RoH like in Japan, it probably is probably Pro Wrestling SAISHO (SAISHO). You'd think it would be Pride Glory Honor Wrestling (PGHW), but SAISHO actually is quite more Modern than PGHW. Hopefully Mito managed to keep it alive to start 2020. Over in Europe, the European League of Fighters actually would fit the hard and fast pace matches you want in RoH. Though they are a singles only company, so that could turn you off. Although someone mentioned OLLIE for Mexico, I'd say Extreme Modern Lucha Libre actually more fits the bill of being closer to the fast paced, technical wrestling that RoH does. Again like ELF, it is a singles only company. There isn't really a company in Australia that matches the RoH style. Revolution Australia Wrestling (RAW) needs to boot their Modern style up as it currently has none, but would be easier. Whereas ZEN: Art of Wrestling (ZEN) is a lucha libre company that is quite Modern, so you just need to be a little more zany to make it fit. As for a company that has Strong Style, Hardcore, High Flying and Technical, I'm afraid there really isn't a company that matches that (at least going by 2016). Though I will say, I'm tempted to make that in 2016 and see how it would work out.

I don't happen to have TEW16 opened at the moment, but considering they almost died but were kept alive by Kickstarter in I wanna say 2014, I'm betting that either a) something happens that keeps them alive or b) they get bought out by someone. If I had to guess what happened to them, I would think what might happen is that Australian Pro Wrestling buys out Zen: Art of Wrestling and they go on to become Australian Zen Pro: Art of Wrestling. This then allows them to compete with RAW as a direct #2, instead of being the distant #2 that they are at the start of TEW16. I know a bet and a guess mean the same thing, but my bet is more confident that it'll happen. My guess is more just what I would wish would happen.

I more was meaning that we're probably starting at a Global Recession when we start the game or it'll hit within a few months of the game starting. The Covid comment was that I don't see it being Covid itself, as you can't possibly do that (hence the 2021 comment) but like a world wide shortage of say wheat or something.

Honestly just amazed at how today has become. WWE didn't even needed to do this and so many people are without jobs now. Gods, I feel so bad for everyone. Also Drake Maverick's twitter post was so damn sad.

After what just happened today IRL, I think we might see something similar now happen in TEW. Maybe not COVID itself (which no live events might not happen until next year, I hadn't heard that until today), but the entire global economy and stuff crashing and burning right at the start of the game. Causing a lot of companies to have to do what they can until it revives. If that happens (just spitballing), probably means USPW has to get rid of contracts ASAP. If TCW is in Cult now, will they survive. I could see any UK promotion that started up after 21CW bought up everyone, they are going to struggle. Women promotions are going to be probably hardest hit other than the two majors, since they are new. Even if TEW doesn't do this, I might make this a scenario right out of the gate.

Gods, I started up a female federation in the UK, local, 4 women to start with, so I have a roster of 10 (as there's only 6 people, 7 but I ain't signing Shiori). It expanded to 13 thanks to 1 new Europe person, and 2 Japanese stars being available. Worked through a whole year already and boy... That female talent pool just isn't getting any bigger. Yeesh. I want to run weekly shows, but I have to stick to monthly because I don't have enough talent even if I do manage to make it to small. T_T I knew it was gonna be a bad time, but I didn't think it would be this bad.

I would say that if you were to include women's wrestling it would be promotions that are local or small and that the talent is pretty lackluster and that the few standouts carry each federation. So a person like Joanna Rodriguez carries the division in CZCW, but the rest of the talent is pretty poor or needs to be built up. The division then just becomes a place to showcase the one worker and that's all the division is thought of. That's pretty much what back then was like in real life's 97 as well. When Joanna leaves, the division pretty much dies. I also think that a lot of women's companies probably don't survive the 90s thanks to talent droughts except 5SSW and AAA. And those companies either a) don't happen to have them or b) where all the actual talent does end up going because pay cheques are stable. That last one is key too. Most of the talent probably wants to head to 5SSW and AAA because they are the big names in women's wrestling at the time. While CZCW is a place that has a division, AAA would likely be seen as a better place to work because you are battling for the top prize, not a side piece. CZCW's division is probably treated like an unwanted child, which is probably why Joanna left to AAA. Hell, USPW's own women's division is basically just there for Alicia Strong and that was recent. Actually, let me use WWE's 97 women's roster to illustrate the point of how poor the rosters probably are: Debra Chyna Luna Terri Runnels Jacqueline Sable Ivory That's not a very strong division and if you think about it, was more T&A than actual wrestling. When Chyna was on top of it, it was pretty much Chyna and everyone else is an after thought. Actually in the UK, women's wrestling was banned until 1987 (something I didn't know). Which would mean that the earliest you would get a crop of UK (and by extension Europe) female wrestlers that are great is around right now (like in real life). As those in 1987 would be horrible, 97 would be okay at best, 2007 would be good, and 2017 would be great. As it would take time to bring in talent abroad, teach talent to be better, and get places to showcase their skills. And that's in real life. In the Cornellverse for the UK, remember 21CW bought out everyone else when TEW 2016 comes around. They also didn't make a women's division. Imagine how many female wrestlers or stars they probably made fed up and just walk away from the business. That probably set that scene back years of where it should be. Honestly, I could see it being like that as well. Hell, USPW probably did the same thing with the US side of things, just went under the radar because none of the companies would be big enough and it would only be women's wrestling company/ies, so not many would care. So while it is bleak, it is similar to real life. That's the main reason why when I was working on my own mod (before my lappy needed repairs) and set all the companies as just starting in 2016 and working together. Women's wrestling is still trying to catch up to the men. Eye opening, isn't it? Was to me when I was doing up my mod and thinking "oh, I can just make this like real life" and then realizing real life is so damned depressing. The Cornellverse is probably just likely the same. The only difference with a 97 mod is that you'd be in charge of one of the many new (local or small) women's federations that probably start up then but will be dead when TEW 2012 hits and definitely dead by 2016. You'd have to nurture the ailing talent you've got and try changing the company's fate that you've chosen in 97. Well, except the UK, where you'll have to start over from scratch after 21CW buys everyone up (and the entire women's UK scene leaves) whenever it is that they do it. What I'd recommend doing specifically with CZCW is having the division as a child company of CZCW. That way you can have it have a proper life of 97 until say 07. Probably the only way to have it function in TEW16 and/or TEW20, I think. I'd also recommend that any good women wrestlers that you add, have US, Japan and Mexico checked as available to wrestle. OLLIE, 5SSW and AAA are where talented women are going to want to wrestler. Not for the local or small companies. That's only my opinion on the matter and what I learned while trying to do up my own mod of adding in more women's wrestling.

Honestly just reading all the different ones is rewarding enough for me. So many stand out wrestling moments!

<p>Building a Federation in TEW16 (almost done), playing many games...</p><p> </p><p> Basically everything before Covid. Now, more of that really.</p>

From the older stuff for me, it was the Supermart beatdown by Austin and Booker T. I can still watch it and enjoy the ever loving hell for zany stuff. Of the newer stuff, probably CM Punk's pipebomb because it was so damn true at the time and place.

As a former tester, I honestly wish we'd scrap the phrase "playable". As you can test it, but you don't actually really play it. Testing is just "did this work, did that work, did I break this". It isn't actually like sitting there and thinking "oh man, I can't wait to take my new 0/0/0/0 company to #1". Okay, little extreme with the thinking, but I just mean, it is more checking to see if the light switch works, than actually doing anything in the room itself. To keep my post more 2020 discussion based, I wanted to get an idea of how India is going to be and realized there were quite a few federations from 2015 to now IRL. However, there's only two still going. One is Wrestling Square which is the first India wrestling company. The other is Continental Wrestling Entertainment, which originally opened up as India's first Academy by The Great Khali. Wonder if we're going to have it be sort of similar for how India starts. Wouldn't be surprised if we actually had it be Singh (I think he's from India, right?) starts up the first company, but the first Academy opens up and then creates its own company. To be sort of similar to real life, yet playing with it.

Riley McManus - I honestly see him being in USPW in 2020, but not being utilized to his full potential and either a) wanting out or b) being part of the youth push that USPW is probably going to need to be in. Eve Grunge - She'll be the owner of now started CWWF which when the game starts is probably at Cult status in Canada. I'd see her starting it up to give more women a chance in Canada at a place to earn a solid job. She'll also sign Elsa Calvo, Winter Break (Claire Winters/Ariel Breaks), Eri Sato, Laura Flame and Thea Davis (PPA). Thea Davis - Probably the most over women's wrestler outside of AAA, which is why she isn't with a bigger company because she makes way too much to be signed by a single company (USPW has too many old stars hogging up the resources). The American Cobras - I believe they probably have gotten dinged for drugs (they almost always do when I've done any type of testing and signed them) and had to get clean before returning to the sport. Get dinged in 2016 when USPW sign them, go for rehab in 2017, come back and rebuild themselves up in 2018-2020 again in CZCW. Marc DuBois - I believe good old Marc will be like the Cobras and have gotten clean and work his way to a main event position over in surprisingly, SWF. I say that, just because you know, SWF is probably flagging quite a bit. Acid II - After his partner, Stuntman, had to retire due to another concussion suffered in 2016, dude's been striking it out on his own as one of top guys on the indies. He's in CZCW, he's in BCG, he's in Mexico's OLLIE. It is just no big company has signed him. Yet. Logan Wolfsbaine - Got released by PSW like he does in 2016, but TCW has signed them and after four years of being being built up, is finally ready to ascend to the main event roster. Assuming someone doesn't try signing him out from TCW as contract is now coming up. Motoyuki Miyake, Gidayu Katou, Eikichi Itou and MUSCLE (can't think of his full name) - If I recall correctly (been awhile since I did Japan only) whenever I put Miyake (who I call POWER) and MUSCLE together, put them against the team Katou and Itou, it normally resulted in them having good chemistry against each other and with their respective team mates. I'd honestly say they probably signed up with a company that needs a boost in the tag division. Actually bet they end up in BCG and are guys that JCW or WLW are looking to nab. Okay, why JCW and not BHOTWG or PGHW? I wouldn't be surprised if we start up Japan and the two top companies are the 'new' JCW (which is basically the parts and pieces of BHOTWG and PGHW) and WLW but at Cult. Before you ask, that tidal wave that killed Japan's economy is going to knock everyone down a notch or two. Though that's me spitballing. Americana II - Before you ask who this is, Americana is American Elemental's name in Japan, so American Elemental II is in Japan. I think both Americanas are in WLW, where most of the masked juniors went after BHOTWG's closed shop, but before BHOTWG and PGHW could form JCW. Like both closed up shop in 2017, JCW opened in 2019. I'd say that Americana II is probably now the hottest prospect and contract is coming up in 2020, so everyone's after him. Hitomaro Suzuki, Morimasa Kato and Razan Okamoto - I honestly think that these guys are all in BCG, tearing it up as main eventers and pushing BCG to be the 3rd company in Japan (along with the aforementioned taggers). Matthew Keith and Greg Gauge - Left Japan in 2018 for USPW and have been both working in USPW for 2 years. Part of the "youth" movement that's stalled in USPW. I don't think they are tagging, but still using their 2016 wrestling names. Are hugely over with the fans, but are still not main eventers (to give a fans vs push dynamic issue). El Mitico Jr - Here's a twist for everyone. He's working as one of the top guys of CZCW and only now, in 2020, is anyone from Mexico trying to sign him. Why that is, no one knows, because dude's like the best of characters. Like just a weird "why is he not working anywhere else" type of issues. Dude's as popular as the most popular indies wrestler (Acid II). El Neutron II - His American name and a top star of CZCW, though this guy only reached it in 2019 and I think he's also probably working over in OLLIE. Amazing Fire Fly and Rapido - Is now the best tag team in all of Mexico if not the world, but not with SOTBPW. Again one of those cases that they make more money on the indies than they do if they sign with any one company. Can I think of anyone else to write about? Not really... Oh wait. Ray Snow is probably like a main eventer for JCW and the top Gaijin in Japan. That's about it.

<p>Glad my answer provided some help. I will say though, that's just my experience with trying to conquer Europe. I didn't, but that's my best try at it.</p><p> </p><p> Oh. I'd really recommend creating your own dojo and putting the most money you can into it (and trainer). Just to create a way for more talent to show up in Europe. As I said before, the talent pool is small, so you need to increase it any way possible.</p><p> </p><p> And one more thing. Be on the watch for any UK stars that join the business. A lot of the UK guys will also access to Europe, so you can import some stars from there. I'm not saying all of them will though, as there are some who will just be strictly UK only, but many of them will have it. Though, that's the same with Europe stars as well. They'll also have the UK as well. This won't be a huge deal with as SNP is small and 21C has its roster set up, but it does mean that should another company show up, they will grab whoever fits and so steal away the precious talents from Europe if need be.</p><p> </p><p> Oh, one more thing. ...I feel like Jackie Chan's uncle from that cartoon of his when I say that. Anyways, while I did female wrestling federation for Europe, I also was building an entire mod for more women's wrestling for 2016. There aren't enough female stars in Europe (or the UK for that matter) to pull off and to pull in stars you might have to add more regions to the female talents to get enough people if you want to do that.</p><p> </p><p> But yeah. Glad to help out, sorry I forgot to add these two pieces of information originally, and I hope your 2016 game goes well. Can't wait to see how Europe transforms in 2020.</p>

<p>Just change the name from ITEWnes to I-TEW-IN. Simply and effective.</p><p> </p><p> Honestly, I'm really hyped up for all the announcements. Sounds like this version is going to such a huge blast.</p>

<p>When I was working on a female women's federation update (eventually life and well 2020 made me halt it) and had a federation built in Europe, one of the things I did was just make it entirely in-ring only based. There's a different language depending on a single region there, so it is a very good idea just to ignore it.</p><p> </p><p> Also went full on athletically real, without going full blown MMA. If you have to do almost full matches anyways, buy into the concept at go hard on it.</p><p> </p><p> I will admit though, I did put it at 90% though in case I could happen to run a segment or something in a particular region or had a star from a region who could happen to speak in that spot. Kept it to interviews only. The AI did about the same thing.</p><p> </p><p> I managed to actually get myself and watch the AI build the federation up to regional and the #1 federation in Europe. However, trying to get above regional with that is harder, because you do start having to bring in more talent to keep things fresh (AI doesn't, you do). I did get to see the AI make it to Cult, before falling back to regional (thank you 21C for that).</p><p> </p><p> I'd really also recommend to harm 21C as much as you can, because they can and will harm you. Now in the type of federation I mentioned above they can't really do too much harm, normally. I gave them a female division because I could, so they naturally went after my talents. The AI, unlike us, will actually usually expand to Europe before the US, and once they do, they go on a hiring spree. It will hurt and hurt bad.</p><p> </p><p> Before you ask, when I got to regional they still hadn't started raiding Europe of talent. It only began after they go into Europe. Well, unless there was a talented prospect that was UK/Europe and they had a need. Then they would go in on that.</p><p> </p><p> If you are looking for talent, go after anyone who's remotely good in the ring for your product and has an ability to play in Europe. You'll likely need to bring in stars from outside rather than anything European. Maybe steal like who I'll suggest for a women's divison, but you won't be making your own stars for a while.</p><p> </p><p> If it is a female wrestler, Thea Davis is pretty much the star to be had, so go steal her away from the other fed who's name I can't remember. I'm not on the proper PC at the moment for better advice here.</p><p> </p><p> Someone like Rob Snow (I think, I might be wrong on the name) is a good option for a veteran presence if you require that for the male division. Only problem with someone like Snow (or who it is I'm thinking of), is they have Japan as a thing and when (not if) they get popular in Japan, BHOTWG usually snags him up (always happens in my Japan feds) and he will eventually get a shot with a smaller fed there.</p><p> </p><p> That's about all I can think of right now. It is rough, but a fun type of challenge.</p>

Biggest flop would be the time I got, I think it was Alicia Strong, and tried making her the central figure of my women's division of TCW. Because USPW usually let's her go. Now I set this up so that the Men's Division is treated as one division, the Women's Division is treated as another and made the promotion intergendered so that both divisions can function properly. So I tried raising her and the division up. For whatever reason, I could never get her over Uppercard. Now that wouldn't be bad, except when you are trying to have her have World title reigns and trying to keep the true main eventers away from her to have those. It wasn't like she was in decline either. Just she never got popular enough. Everyone who feuded with her usually though, ended up in the main event. Still, she never was my go-to women's champ that I wanted her to be. My biggest success is probably taking my jobber to the stars, created dojo wrestler Alex Stevens, and somehow getting him to the Main Event scene. He wasn't very good, hence the jobbing, but with a lot of love (and people jobbing to him), I got him to be a good wrestler. I think he got at least 3 World title reigns. Which is 3 more than I thought he would get. He might've even had a fourth, but he broke a vertebrae and retired from the business entirely. He was only 30 too, which sucked. Also sucked because my main event scene at the time, wasn't very good (damn USPW stealing my guys), so I ended up losing a lot of momentum.

<p>Depends on how the CornellVerse shapes up in 2020. I've got a few things I want to try.</p><p> </p><p> 1) Japanese US Expansion Federation - If this isn't in the game, I might make this and have it be the Avatar I'm playing is the only member of the roster, meaning I need to sign a bunch of wrestlers right away.</p><p> </p><p> Probably will end up being a part of Burning Hammer, if it is still as massive as it is in 2016.</p><p> </p><p> 2) Female federation - I figure there's probably going to be more of these in the database, so I might as well. I'd probably still guess that AAA is the largest organization, so </p><p> </p><p> 3) Indian federation - New area, new things to try out. I'm sort of hoping that there is just like one federation and only small, so that the market is bare and ripe for creating something fantastic.</p><p> </p><p> 4) A ground zero federation - I haven't done a federation from nothing before and I think maybe this time in 2020, I'll be able to accomplish it. Not sure of the product yet, but I'll think of something.</p><p> </p><p> 5) Create a federation with some history - Something that I haven't been able to do very well. Might as well attempt to do this one.</p><p> </p><p> These are some of the things I was thinking of doing when 2020 hits.</p>

I like running with TCW in 2016, simply to challenge the big two again.

For Brock Lesnar like people there's the following. Not all of them will have MMA as well though. I just picked guys who can fill what you are looking or. Bedlam - 21CW Brute Kikuchi - PGHW Bulldozer Brandon Smith - MAW/BCG Ekuma - SWF/RIPW Haranobu Kobayashi - PGHW Jack Avatar (I call him Jack Jackson) - User Matthew Keith - BHOTWG Viktor Beskov - 21CW War Machine - 21CW Yoshinaku Taka - BCG There isn't really a good comparison to Brock. These are probably the closest you'll get to him, though at varying parts of his career. If I was betting man and you wanted the version of him at his peak abilities, probably Beskov or War Machine would be the best bets. Probably Jack Jackson though, is the Brock Lesnar comparison. There is the problem of unless you de-age him a bit (which I do), he's a bit older than when Brock got into the game. You can just tag on MMA onto him and away you go. Plus he's available everywhere, so he can suit whichever company you sign him up with.

Even more on the biggest stage. Bonus to match quality.</p><p> </p><p> Please Go - This person just never seems to perform to his bests abilities for whatever reason. Worse on the biggest stages. Negative to match quality.</p>

<p>Been doing a Burning Hammer Of America game (inspired by my thoughts in the changes for the CornellVerse for 2020), in which I started from scratch with only the company, some money from the Japan side, and that's it (regional as well, sorry).</p><p> </p><p> Currently into June of 2017 and things have sort of been going good. Been abusing the alliance; pumping up all my production to amazing levels and just letting the game do its thing.</p><p> </p><p> Been using Ross Henry as my Burning America Champion (main title), who's managed to go an impressive 32 wins since winning the belt (I run weekly). He's only won the title once, but he's been a sturdy champion ever since. I say that because when I started the company, titles were passed around from everyone stealing my champions.</p><p> </p><p> The Burning America Tag Team Champions have been Devil May Care (Acid II and Stuntman) who have also been stalworth guys, defending it 22 times.</p><p> </p><p> My momentum right now is A*, and I think I've been making real progress towards hitting Cult (I set it up as a Regional and taking forever to get to Cult). The Top 5 guys in my company are Ross Henry, Brandon Smith, Earnest Youngman, California Love Machine and Knuckles.</p><p> </p><p> My top tag teams are Devil May Care (Acid II & Stuntman), Dynamite Express (Cameron Jones & Syd Collier), The Night Terrors (Babau & Moroi), Notorious (Carlos Barrera & Miguel Riviera) and The Rock City Stars (Ryan Turner & Stan Manna).</p><p> </p><p> Been quite a fun ride. Every company hates my company because I'm making everyone else look terrible. Which is funny because I haven't gone out to sign anyone that someone else has. Just been picking new wrestlers up and using those should I lose someone. Which also surprisingly hasn't been very many people yet. Though I wonder why in that case.</p><p> </p><p> Been thinking that perhaps I should bring in the Burning American Junior title for the mid card to scrap over. Yet at the same time, I kind of like having the main title be the only title right now (for singles, tag titles is its own thing). Also Americana II joined the game, so I signed him up and he's going to be working with Hurakan in my tag division for the next while.</p>

<p>Wrestling In Style - This wrestler is able to use his current wrestling style and adapt it to the style of the company. His attributes are treated as if he's wrestling the style of the company. If he's wrestling IN the style of the company, he treated as even better than his stats.</p><p> </p><p> No Wrestling Fashion - This wrestler is a complete and utter train wreck with his current style. It doesn't suit him, he's out of place and just drags matches down. If he's wrestling in the style of the company, he takes negative bonuses. If he's wrestling out of the company style, he's just downright awful and will drag matches into oblivion.</p><p> </p><p> These two would be like a 1% to 5% chance of someone having these.</p><p> </p><p> He's Got The Whole World - It doesn't matter what gimmick, angle or promo he is in, it just works. If he's great at it, it even does better - instant pop boost(s).</p><p> </p><p> Have You Bored With The World - This guy just has no luck currently and instantly bores, dulls and downright upsets the audience. If he's not great at what he's doing - instant pop decrease(s).</p><p> </p><p> Again, another 1% to 5% chance of having these two. Basically the Yes Movement and the X-Pac Heat stuff.</p>

<p>I think the following stuff will probably happen. Before you read further, I'll treat it as if "this is happening". I have no actually idea, it is just easier for me to write it out in that fashion.</p><p> </p><p> - Canada -</p><p> I'm Canadian, so, I'll start here. I could honestly see CGC riding into the sunset or transforming into the development league of NOTBPW. I would probably guess they'll fall from grace pretty hard during this phase. A far cry from their previous stuff.</p><p> </p><p> NOTBPW will be struggling. Also probably be second only to the also struggling USPW. NOTBPW will be struggling because they won't have anyone to carry on the legacy of the previous stars that have retired or become back stage hands. They've got some promising guys though.</p><p> </p><p> 4C becomes the defacto #2 for Canadian promotion. They'll be riding a huge way, with Huge de Aske as their top star, who still amazingly hasn't left the company (has loyalty with them). He gets booked elsewhere so much that he doesn't feel the need to leave his position with 4C.</p><p> </p><p> All Canada Pro is still the #4 spot, but in terms of male only, it is #3. They'll be a solid company that has managed to secure a lot of young and talented guys that everyone can raid on.</p><p> </p><p> As you can guess, I'm suggesting another company for #3, and that would be the four year old Canadian Women's Federation. They'll be the top pick of the country and with their wealth of amazing talent, with their leading star being someone brand new (or just Kate Avatar).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> - USA -</p><p> I could run down all of the US, but I'll just stick to the particulars. BTW, women companies are probably the same. With AAA being the best, though I would say they probably have a minor TV deal now.</p><p> </p><p> USPW - Still #1, but all the backstage stuff has finally reared their ugly heads and whoever takes control needs to deal with that mess. It will be downright nasty to deal with. They have probably fallen back down to National from being International all this time.</p><p> </p><p> TCW - Formerly the #3, they have risen to #2. This is because the Toy Company (forget its name), has managed to make it a place where it is all about the action in the ring. They won't be a National level #2, but a Cult level #2.</p><p> </p><p> SWF - They are reeling from the IRS scandal that will likely see Eric Eisen in charge of the company and doing a pretty poor job of it. After his dad and brother are in jail. It will be a struggle for any booker to deal with Eric's dumb ideas and instance of being the person on top. And yes, this means, they've also dropped to Cult.</p><p> </p><p> CZCW - A solid #4, they are on the cusp of being the #3 in the US of A, but like in every game that you start in 2016, lost all of their top talents. In the four years since, they've built up they've managed to prop up their company by having the best tag division in the world (led by Malloy & Storm who are now clean). You'll find the best tag teams in CZCW.</p><p> </p><p> Burning Hammer Of America - Even after the tsunami that damaged Japan's economy and the embezzlement that destroyed their finances, Burning Hammer still is so bloody successful in Japan that it branches out with their Burning Hammer of America. Burning Hammer of America will just be starting and a regional company. I'd even have it be left as a blank slate so that a person can pick it as the starting company. However, if you don't pick it, it quickly fills it up with all the people that would work best in that company.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> - Mexico -</p><p> We're probably going to see SOTBPW have a retirement of Champagne Lover that halts the progress of them making it to the International stage and OLLIE managing to drag them back down to within striking distance.</p><p> </p><p> OLLIE meanwhile has managed to pick up the slack thanks to the signing of El Mitico Jr and El Hijo del Neutron. The two's tag team and subsequent break up has been the hottest thing in wrestling and has catapulted OLLIE to the main stream. </p><p> </p><p> CILL is in a heated battle with EMLL for 3rd. EMLL has been raided time and time again (OLLIE says thanks), but EMLL just continually manages to restock to CILL's utter disbelief. I'd honestly have EMLL have the best dojo in the world for how they manage to continually restock the company.</p><p> </p><p> As for the first female only company in Mexico, I would probably make it full of unknowns and still struggling to find its place in the landscape.</p><p> </p><p> - Japan -</p><p> Burning Hammer of Japan - As mentioned earlier, Burning Hammer Of The Wrestling Gods has been hit hard thanks to both the tsunami and the embezzlement scandal. Though PGHW is closer and gone to a less intense (but still not modern system) after Burning Hammer's Kaneko was outed (17 or 18), his successor (whatever genius is there) has managed to pull them out of financial disarray. The biggest problem with the Japanese division is the bloat. Heavyweights (new), Juniors, Heavyweight Tag Team (new), Junior Tag Team, Openweight, World (now umbrella title), World Tag Team (now umbrella title), Joshi, Joshi Tag Team. There's just so much going on that you are drowning in the bloat.</p><p> </p><p> *As an aside. Yes, I did in fact make Burning Hammer run into problem the WWE has right now instead of USPW*</p><p> </p><p> PGHW - as was said earlier, they made things less intense, leading to less injuries and have gotten really lucky with some high quality youngster out of their dojo to get back to being the solid #2 to BHOTWG.</p><p> </p><p> WLW - Has arrived as the #3 of Japan and is in a dead heat with the other two, while still promoting their own brand that has suddenly become widely popular in Japan.</p><p> </p><p> BCG - I have bad news for GCG fans, BCG bought it out. That's literally all I got for an entry here. Kudo wasn't able to bring GCG back out into a new era, and eventually dragged the company so far down that BCG has managed to take it over and I'm just not sure whether or not to think if the company has </p><p> </p><p> 5SSW - To the dismay of of 5SSW, with Burning Hammer opening up a Joshi division, quite a few talents left them to go to the bigger stage. They still have a solid following and haven't fallen much, but they aren't where they were before. Also WILLOW opened up and have started becoming a competition to them.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> - British Isles/Europe -</p><p> 21CW has branched out and now not only dominates the UK, but also dominates all of Europe as well. They are currently securing their place. Fighting a war on both fronts has 21CW actually losing to both sides #2s, but if they stopped and took care of one, they'd turn around and wipe out the other pretty easily.</p><p> </p><p> SNP - Hey, remember these guys? They've actually become the #2 company in the UK and are actually slowly chipping away at 21CW. They've gained such a following in the UK, it is honestly hard to see anyone else taking the #2 from them.</p><p> </p><p> EWA - They've made a partnership with SNP (for the time being) as the #2 in Europe to chip away from 21CW over in Europe and have 21CW fight a two front war and losing on both side. Just like with SNP, there's just no way EWA ever leaves the scene because of how rabid their fan base is for them.</p><p> </p><p> I ain't writing about Australia, because I'll be honest, I've never played one of the feds there.</p><p> </p><p> TL;DR - This is just my thoughts on what I think might happen. I just think we're in for some interesting times with 2020.</p>
