Okay, so I just finished 2020 and I got "The Real Rock N' Rolla" but the game won't let you pick MMA, Movies and Music, so I'm just going with the most recent two and I do Movies & Music. I now have 99 SQ and 91 Charisma. I'm still with my starting company, I'm set up as my Figurehead, just waiting 8 more months to see how I do. (Should do fine with 91 Charisma, 99 SQ and 100 Babyface skill...) Just for the fun of it, I'm gonna list all the National and Cult companies in my game and also how each area of the world looks for National Battles. I will also list their Figurehead if they have one. I am currently in February 2021 NATIONAL COMPANIES USPW #1 - Figurehead is Rocky Golden SWF #2 - Figurehead is Wolf Hawkins SOTBPW #3 - Figurehead is Champagne Lover PGHW #6 - No Figurehead WLW #7 - Figurehead is Emerald Angel CULT COMPANIES TCW #4 - No Figurehead 21CW #5 - No Figurehead GCG #8 - Figurehead is Hiroyasu Gakusha BHOTWG #9 - No Figurehead CGC #10 - No Figurehead 5SSW #11 - No Figurehead RAW #13 - Figurehead is Swoop McCarthy Honorable mention to OLLIE, who are ranked 12 beating RAW, but they're Regional. NATIONAL BATTLE USA SOTBPW (4,434) USPW (4,112) SWF (4,110) NATIONAL BATTLE CANADA USPW (4,112) SWF (4,099) NATIONAL BATTLE MEXICO SOTBPW (4,434) SWF (4,091) NATIONAL BATTLE JAPAN WLW (3,764) PGHW (3,738) NATIONAL BATTLE EUROPE USPW (3,788)

I could have worked for EX2010, but I think the whole Obese Heavyweight thing would have held me back with their product, I mean I wouldn't be eligible to win any titles there. LOL EDIT: Just finished 2019, and I got casting call, so I now do MMA and Movies and have 99 Star Quality.... guess I'm gonna turn face and become the Figurehead.... lol Also I just noticed my character went from Obese to Bulky. Good to know your User Character is able to change Body Type on their own. I was wondering how my Menace went up by 3 and Sex Appeal by 5, guess going from Obese to Bulky makes you more intimidating and attractive. lol

Coming up on the end of 2018 and I just rolled ..... 33. “Makeover Time” You get yourself an image makeover. Your sex appeal, star quality and menace EACH randomly change by anything between -5 and +15. (roll once for each stat) I just lost 2 sex appeal, gained 11 star quality and gained 15 menace. I say makeover SUCCESSFUL. I have 89 Star Quality now, and 40 menace and my Sex Appeal dropped from 58 to 56. I hope I can get the makeover again, and gain enough Star Quality to bring me to 100. LOL I started off with 100 Babyface and 0 Heel skill. I've got my Heel skill up to 54. EDIT: Shane Sneer passed away in May 2019. So I created a Shane Sneer Memorial Cup and inducted him into my company's Hall Of Fame for his contributions to the Wrestling industry.

Not sure on coming back from retirement, but on the Alliances thing, the Alliance screen specifically says "Do not affect other members in regional/national battles." so I would assume they would stay in, unless they chose to leave. Also, at the end of year 2, I rolled +20% Steroids. That's a great thing for my MMA career... I'm sure I'll test positive for steroids if user chars even leave for MMA fights. LOL

Yeah, it's very weird. Because Japan is currently a four-way battle for supremacy between BHOTWG, GCG, PGHW and WLW (All four are at Cult). I wonder if WLW and GCG will end up on top, because they don't affect each other in Regional AND National Battles, so if they both reach National, they won't hurt each other (if they both remain in the modern movement). Also, Steve DeColt was with NOTBPW until the very end and then he remained unemployed until he retired three months later. (He is still unemployed, and can be hired to be a Colour guy) Sad too, because he was the #1 Wrestler for the half-year awards in 2017. I think he didn't go anywhere else, because he only has A Pop in Canada and E- in USA, and it's in the F's everywhere else and his Family Feud relationship with Alex probably prevented him from going to CGC (If he would even work for a Cult company when his pop is A) It's a sad affair, because he walked away from his family's business, only to have his new job ripped away by the SWF (albiet 8 years later), and he is an outsider to his own family. He had to retire at the age of 43, I wonder if it was partially because there were no jobs left for him to take, he was not popular enough to sign with company's that he would even consider elsewhere, lol EDIT: In other news, Steve Flash is still going strong at 51 years old. I wish I could sign him (owner goals, can't sign anyone over 35 yrs old) because he would make for a great Tag partner for my user char, to teach him Basics and Psychology faster, lol

No idea, wasn't paying attention to the rest of the world, I was curious on how the National Battles were going, and noticed NOTBPW wasn't on the list, and thought they had fallen to Cult, but it was much worse than that. SWF, USPW and SOTBPW are the only National companies in the entire world right now.

I am in April 2017 and NOTBPW has just been bought out by SWF and PSW just made Remmy Skye their Figurehead. Cobra botched a move and injured Roger Monteiro causing them to hate eachother, but with my positive meddling it went to Shimmering tension and then now they have no relationship at all, HALLELUJAH! My secondary goal is to become a Ripped Middleweight before I retire!

I just rolled 54, I guess my Obese Heavyweight guy is now an MMA fighter? I added 10 to toughness to bring it to 85. My menace is only at 25, so I figure 85 toughness means I can at least get beat up good. In bad news, Gidayu Katou who was my Champion broke his neck while on tour with PGHW, there goes my $250 PPA Main Eventer.

Just started my Road to Glory game... Gordon Rush is going to take the Wrestling world by storm. I forgot to give myself a starting Owner, but Michael Bull who is now the owner is gonna work for free until we are in a healthier financial position apparently, is that new to 2016? EDIT: Can I say, that I LOVE the new auto booker feature?

Oh god, imagine saving money to build your own Network, then you just lose it all randomly.

In-ring performance is determined by your product, if your product is based more on Popularity than Performance, then of course Cena would get way better ratings than Reigns and Styles. Regardless Cena is one of the best in-ring performers.

Still made more sense than the Mania we got IRL.

Resilience doesn't cost any of the stat points, it starts at 100. Looks like you got 75 points to work with?

USPW has the money, and the big TV deal, but they don't have the star power to win the National Battle.

Have you finished the month? You should be making a profit by the end of the month, if you aren't paying too much for your workers and/or backstage perks. You definitely shouldn't just sign all $1000+ PPA workers, at that level your profits will generally come primarily from sponsors. You gotta play more conservatively. Remember the lower your company's popularity, the worse your show grade can be and still gain popularity. You don't need to spend the money to pump out C shows if your popularity in the Region you're in is only E+ for example. A good trick is to have your workers be Road Agents when you're smaller, instead of having a dedicated Road Agent. Just use the guys with the best psychology and respect, and use the 2nd best, 3rd best, etc. if the guy you would normally use as the Road Agent is a competitor in the match. If you want to save even more and your User Character isn't a wrestler, you can use one of the Referee User chars and have a free Ref, too.

Does the 75 limit apply to your Face/Heel and Gimmick skills? Or can I start with 100% face skill and 0% heel skill? I am starting as an Obese Big Heavyweight, my goal is to become a Ripped Light Heavyweight by the time I complete the challenge, if I ever complete it....

I just finished booking my second show for my Regional US company, and my main event scored 46 ... not bad for Clark Alexander vs a drunk Texas Pete, right? (Yes, he was drunk AGAIN. At least this time he wasn't both drunk AND high.) I don't know if it's worth the risk even jobbing him out at this point, does being drunk increase botch chance?

I made my own regional promotion and joined COTT. I was tempted to have Clark Alexander win the COTT title right away, but I decided against it and instead had Nicolas Lopez intentionally get himself DQ'd to retain the title, then post-match angle celebrate in the crowd for retaining. Also, don't sign Texas Pete guys, he was not only drunk during his match he was also high. He is my first ever champion in my promotion, he did send me an email after my show and said to push El Mitico Jr hard, so I guess that is who is going to bury Pete after Pete drops the title to Clark Alexander at my next show. EDIT: Yeah, seriously, don't sign Texas Pete... or anyone with drugs or alcohol issues, because everyone involved in the match with them will email you annoyed and get a morale hit... and OLLIE just took Texas Pete on loan, I just hope he doesn't make me look bad...

Star-making performance from Owens, he's the real deal. </em><em><strong>LOL @ Cena taking the pop-up powerbomb on his arse.</strong></em><em> It's a shame this had Cena's fingerprints all over it, right down to finisher kick-outs; it sucks for Owens that somebody kicked out of his finisher on his PPV debut, even if it was Cena.</em> <strong>****1/2</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I think he was taking the pop-up powerbomb like that, because when he took it on RAW during Owens debut, it looked like his head hit the mat pretty hard. But that could just be me, but that was the first thought that came to mind.</p>

I'd imagine the kayfabe reason Kofi is in as a favour from Kane for helping on SmackDown, which is the reason all three were in the EC match also. Non-kayfabe reason is... Kofi is always fun in MITB matches.

<p>I am more excited for Elimination Chamber than I was for WrestleMania. Though, WrestleMania turned out great.</p><p> </p><p> Part of it is that, I love Elimination Chamber matches, they're always great fun for me. I'm especially interested to see the tag team EC match, because it's bound to be a giant confusing mess, but that's what will make it great. I hope The New Day somehow sneaks in all three of them, maybe when a team gets eliminated and they have to open the main door, Xavier Woods just jumps in. The match is no DQ so they couldn't really stop him.</p><p> </p><p> The match I am looking forward to the most is Owens vs Cena though, and that's because I'm curious on how they handle it. I don't know if they will have Owens win clean, and I don't think he should lose clean in his debut match. I have a feeling Cena wins, by disqualification. The match isn't for a championship, so Owens doesn't necessarily have to care about winning, and just showing Cena that he can end him at any time would suffice, and also allow the feud to continue.</p><p> </p><p> I have a feeling that something big and unexpected may happen at Elimination Chamber, because it was kind of put in at the last minute, and during a free month for the Network, and they might try to do something big to entice people to continue on the subscription after the free period ends.</p><p> </p><p> I am looking forward to all the matches at the event, the IC title looks like a big deal, as the EC matches are always plugged as "Dangerous, Career changing, never the same again, etc." type of match, and if someone is willing to put themselves through that for the IC title, it makes it look like a big deal. Same with the tag titles. It also makes sense the World title wouldn't be in a Chamber match, as the authority is protecting Rollins.</p><p> </p><p> The Tag division is as strong as it's been in years. Some teams (The Ascension and Los Matadore) could be built up stronger, but if they have a good showing in the Chamber, they could win people over. </p><p> </p><p> Bo Dallas vs Neville should be a fun match, because they have a history from when they both were in NXT. I like that on commentary they mentioned Neville was the one to defeat Dallas for the NXT Championship.</p><p> </p><p> The Divas triple threat could be good, but unfortunately I fully expect it to go less than ten minutes and be just another throwaway divas match. I really hope they can start taking the main roster women as serious as the NXT women soon. The potential for the match is good as the three women in this match are more than capable, they just need to be given the opportunity.</p><p> </p><p> Seth Rollins vs Ambrose should be good, the crowd is really into Ambrose again, and it seems like he's finally being booked to be as strong as the other two former Shield members. I'm not expecting it to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if Reigns turned on Ambrose here. The more likely thing to happen would be standard J&J and Kane shenanigans. I can't help but feel Reigns will have some sort of involvement here, as he doesn't have a match on the card. </p><p> </p><p> Speaking of Reigns not having a match, where has Orton been?</p>

Sasha vs Becky last night is how you book Women. Is it selfish of me to hope they never get demoted to the Main Roster?

I think we need to acknowledge the fact that King of the Ring is returning.

The interesting thing about Mania tonight was that every match except for Sting vs HHH had at least one NXT alumni in it. Every single one. There wasn't anything wrong with the divas match. Though, if you wanna see what the future divas can do, just watch NXT, it's really depressing knowing for them, getting called up is really a demotion.
