If I have a guy like Vader, I find him far more difficult to book than he should be. For him to be booked as a dominant force, then seemingly by definition he needs to run through the roster facing little resistance along the way. In reality, him losing clean, especially by submission, would hurt the mystique of the character. Are there any game mechanics that makes him less valuable if he loses clean on occasion? If he taps out in a match, does it make him less effective in his role, or is this one of those scenarios where the game is just a string of numbers, and I'm overthinking everything again?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> You are overthinking things, which is good and bad. </p><p> </p><p> On the game side of things, unless your worker has as part of his gimmick variables that losses hurt him more, than in the game, it doesn't matter, aside from obviously hurting his momentum and everything else. </p><p> </p><p> On the other hand, in reality, look at how Vader was pushed in real life, pre-Hogan - even in matches he lost, he kicked the absolute crap out of people, and even The Guy like Ric Flair or Sting more accurately survived a match against Vader, than actually lost against him. </p><p> </p><p> In game, you can either do that by having him dominate a match if it's short, or put protect notes on his losses, or make sure the match is 'open' if he's losing. Also, angle wise, even if he does lose, he can always heat himself up by killing people again on the shows after that show. </p><p> </p><p> The biggest problem the WWE had during the SuperCena era, for example, wasn't that Cena won all the time. Hogan won all the time. Bruno won all the time. The problem is the WWE had no plans for heels after they lost to Cena, so they became directionless.</p>

I'm using Steve DeColt in my Youtube game as Bischoff during RAW - slightly heel biased, but far more interested in drawing ratings. Mostly because I'm burned out on heel authority figures. Also, for anybody else, I recently booked WrestleFestival and got an 85, have created a dev fed for my lower card young guys, and also created a 'B' show for the rest of my roster, because that's just realistic.

Also, as a bonus, here's some of the match graphics by themselves.

World Championship Wrestling '01/'02 - Show #64 - Starrcade Preview <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IAUxCMq1lhY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> A preview for Starrcade 2002, with hopefully information that even if you've never watched any of my previous videos in this series or you're behind, you can watch this, be caught up, ready for Starrcade '02, then the continuation of the series I'll be doing in TEW 2020. I've actually done a decent amount of work into this preview, including graphics for each individual match, which I'll include some examples of, so go ahead and give it a look and let me know what ya' think, either on here or on the video itself.

So, my two cents is - 1. Yeah, tape 4 shows per TV taping. It reduces costs, it allows you to tape when everybody is available, and maybe this is just me, it allows me to be structured in my booking. 2. The thing about booking beyond that is each territory did it slightly differently, based on the size of the territory and the type of booking the people were used too. For example, Memphis was a loop of big cities in that territory weekly, with the TV tape on a 'bicycle', which meant that TV taped on Week 1, would be seen in Memphis on that Saturday, in Knoxville that next week, Johnson City, the week after, and eventually someplace like Little Rock 6-8 weeks later. On the other hand, in a territory like Portland, it was also weekly, but they recorded the weekly show in Portland and all of it, except the main event was shown on TV. However, JCP booked someplace like Greenville, SC weekly, while Charlotte was a monthly show. On the other hand, each major city in the WWF territory got their monthly, before the expansion, then less often (outside of Boston, NYC, and Philly) as the company expanded. So, if I was doing JCP in 1985, what I would do, depending on how much work you want to do is this - Book your weekly TV at the start of the month, then book 2 or 3 'Lesser' shows on each weekend for places like Raleigh, Columbia, Greenville, leading up to a monthly big show in Charlotte. Of course, if you want, you could just book the TV and Charlotte, and just pretend the other shows are happening "off screen." Downside is you'll get no money, but the upside is you don't have to book those shows.

Local to Global #5: April 2020" - Southern Lights Wrestling <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T0YBlvfO_vY" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> The Local to Global quest continues, as we advance some angles, figure out who should actually be our top babyface, deal with some unhappy talent, and debut some new underneath workers, so our talented midcarders don't get jobbed out too much.

October 23rd, 2019 J*STAR Announces Full Native Roster by Candice Dawson At a press conference at their Tokyo office, J*STAR boss Saeko Hiroyuki officially announced much of the rest of the roster, along with a schedule, at least for the initial mini-tour in the New Year. At JoshiSpirit, we'll go over the announced names, sorted by how well known they are to the Western audiences. J*STAR also announced they'd have a full announcement of their gaijin roster in the coming weeks. Name: Emiko Miyoshi Age: 21 Height: 5' 3” Weight: 125 lbs. If you know anybody on the J*STAR roster among the native workers, it's likely Miyoshi, but it's also far more likely due to her Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter accounts, instead of her work in the ring. However, her ability to draw attention on social media already led to rumors she'd be picked up by Five Star, but it looks like J*STAR will get the overflow of her likes and retweets she creates in the social media world. Name: Angel Takudome Age: 39 Height: 5' 5” Weight: 146 lbs. A long-time wrestler, largely on the nascent independent circuit, who has competed in many of the short lived competitors to Five Star, including a somewhat famous tag match involving a young Joanne Rodriguez, that was part of her retirement DVD. Outside of that, Takudome in recent years has become an in-ring teacher, as she slowly heads toward retirement. Name: Chitose Ariwara Age: 33 Height: 5' 4” Weight: 145 lbs. Probably far more well known among hardcore joshi fans in the West than she currently is in Japan thanks to some wider circulation of mid-2000's Five Star during the Three Queens era, Ariwara has been bouncing around the various independents in Japan since she was released in 2014, finishing up a long run in O-DOJO, a small independent company in Osaka that focused on comedy and intergender matches, that shut down in the middle of 2019. In the ring, Ariwara is a great babyface and a solid worker, who will help quite a bit with the young wrestlers in J*STAR, assuming she can stay in the ring. Name: Kameo (Aki Kameo) Age: 20 Height: 5' 1” Weight: 118 lbs. Making the rest of the roster look impressive when it comes to stature , Kameo, who has dropped her first name, makes up for it by being quite skilled in aerial and flashiness only a couple of years into the business, along with being quite popular with the male fans for obvious reasons. In fact, she's only behind Miyoshi when it comes to Instagram and Twitter followers, even though her online presence is far more goofy. Of course, behind that goofy persona is someone who got quite the education from the legendary Kit Hatoyama. Asami Okubo Age: 22 Height: 5' 4” Weight: 150 lbs. A young former judo competitor, Okubo has a nascent social media following due to her side-job as a personal trainer, which may help her gain some fandom, among the Joshi faithful within the country of Japan. In the ring, Okubo's fairly green, but is already quite skilled when it comes to the technical end of things. Name: Spider Isako Age: 19 Height; 5' 5” Weight: 144 lbs. Perhaps the most impressive early graduate of the Hatoyama Dojo, it's considered a bit of a surprise that Isako already isn't on the Five Star roster, but there are also rumors that Five Star wanted her to work the indies to gain experience, and also so she's likely be pushed so that when she came to Five Star, they wouldn't have to treat her as a Young Lion. The reasons for that are obvious – Isako has an impressive looks, already looks solid in the ring dealing out strikes and kicks, and even is quite charismatic which is something that even young workers who look to be future stars lack at the beginning of their careers. The only reason why Isako probably isn't as well known as other young joshi stars in the United States is most of her early career has been on small independent shows that aren't even featured on shows like Last of the Independents on Japanese Cable TV, let alone channels that get wider exposure in the rest of the world. Name: Kaori Takenouchi Age: 24 Height: 5' 3” Weight: 161 lbs. A tank of a competitor, Takenouchi leans into her character by wearing military fatigues, before she batters opponents with punches, forearms, and other strikes, before hitting big throws or huge power moves, thanks to her low center of gravity. Thanks to that ability, she's been a successful heel on the independent circuit over the past couple of years, and even got a Five Star tryout in 2018. Name: Mio Takasu Age: 32 Height: 5' 8” Weight: 142 lbs. A lean strike, it's somewhat of a surprise that Takasu has never been picked up by Five Star, despite the fact she's a perfectly capable wrestler who could've been built up by the company in the earlier portions of the 2010's or used as a veteran midcarder training up the younger wrestlers over the past years. To those who want to give the benefit of the doubt to Five Star, the reason usually given is Takasu seems totally uninterested in interacting with fans, and is stiff even for joshi, with her Yazuka Kick largely being sold because she's actually kicking your head off. On the other hand, if you want to be less friendly to Five Star, the fact Takasu is of Chinese background is a big enough black mark in a country like Japan that's still dealing with racial issues. Name: Nami Genda Age: 23 Height: 5' 7” Weight: 143 lbs. The bubbly purple haired youngster is still green in the ring, but has become popular among hardcore joshi fans thanks to her willingness to hit big moves, even though she has quite a bit to figure out what to do between those big moves. As a result, her 'Purple Passion' team with Hoshiko Tagawa seems like a good spot to learn her trade, before possibly moving on to Five Star in the future. Name: Yayoki Kurmochi Age: 19 Height: 5' 6” Weight: 143 lbs. Kurmochi is another talented graduate of the Hatoyama Dojo, but a combination of a quieter personality combined with a simple lack of exposure has meant that she isn't quite as well known as the other graduates outside of Japan, even though her character of a high-flying sassy schoolgirl would seemingly be catknip to many Western joshi fans. With her new roster spot in J*STAR, it's likely she'll quickly become quite popular. Name: Rika Tsujimura Age: 24 Height: 6' Weight: 182 lbs. Tsujimura, being six feet tall, has one of the more impressive looks on the roster, and her running knee strike is already an impressive finisher, but other facts about her are why she's still likely on the indy scene six years after graduating from the Five Star academy. Even though she has a good look, and even does well selling pictures and such to fans despite being taller than a strong majority of the fans, she does lack a certain 'spark' to her persona and rumors she's quite self-centered don't help matters. Name: Kichi Mochizuki Age: 19 Height; 5' 6” Weight: 140 lbs. Another graduate of the Hatoyama Dojo, Mochizuki isn't quite the obvious star that some of the other graduates are, but her red hair and good looks give her some second looks from the crowd, and even though she's still quite inexperienced, she's already become quite the high flier, with an impressive swanton bomb finisher. Name: Hoshiko Tagawa Age: 21 Height: 5' 2” Weight: 129 lbs. A small spitfire, Tagawa was a strong high school wrestler who was just below the level of those who would fight to get on the Olympics, so she moved over to wrestling. As a former athlete, her intense way of dealing with the business can be off putting to some, but as somebody barely in her 20's, she's already a quite psychologically sound wrestler with strong technical skills, with even a bit of flashiness to her takedowns and submission holds. Tagawa's intense personality likely hurts her a bit when it comes to being a star, or selling posters, but she'll likely have a strong career as a wrestler. When it comes to a schedule, J*STAR is starting fairly slow, with only 5 shows in January, with two shows in Tokyo at Gunma Hall, before having two smaller tour shows in Miyagi and Nagano, before finishing up back in Tokyo at the end of the month.

In general, yes. Single matches outside of title matches are either only happen at the big shows for grudges and/or dream matches - (ie. you hire one of Burining Hammer's big stars, etc.). On your standard tour show in Hiroshima, it'd be all tags and six mans. So, the screwy finishes is interesting. Time for a mini history lesson. From the beginning of Japanese wrestling to basically the late 80's/early 90's, Japanese wrestling was booked like any US territory - lots of DQ's, DCO's between stars, etc. But, then Giant Baba (owner/booker of All Japan) decided to go with all clean finishes, and that started a boom for that company and even though New Japan never went as far as All Japan did with all clean finishes, they also became less likely to do a DCO or weird finish to end a show. Even putting that aside, outside of finishes, New Japan still did more entertainment-like angles including post-match brawls, attacks, etc. but since your average American tape trader in the late 90's was only watching top-tier All Japan matches that all had clean finishes and New Japan juniors which were all clean finishes, there became this myth that all Japanese feds were all clean finishes and 'respectful' wrestling. In the late 2000's/early 2010's, first the rise of CHAOS, then the Bullet Club started a return to interference matches, more post-match beatdown, etc. However, in recent years, with the changes to the Bullet Club, and a slight backlash from the Japanese fans, that's been scaled back. However, IRL, Naito won at the Tokyo Dome, the big angle was KENTA coming in, attacking him, and kicking the crap out of him. Which led to a sellout at the next major show, even though KENTA hasn't had the best run in New Japan prior to that. So, what I would do, is look at the products of the company and go from there. In general, you probably can't do DQ/CO finishes without fans getting upset, but if you can likely have a heel unit do a beatdown and it not get terrible ratings if it's short. Also remember, that 90/10 or 100/0 split for matches and angles has a 15% cushion, but no matter the percentage, they likely won't want any 10 minute long angles.

Does the champion essentially get to pick his next opponent? How many singles matches would a guy like Jimbo get inbetween title defenses? Is it all exclusively tags up until the actual defense?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> There's a slight difference between 'old school' NJPW/AJPW and the more recent New Japan and you've got to decide what you want to. In the past, winning the G-1 was just a big accomplishment and no guarantee you'd get the Tokyo Dome main event. </p><p> </p><p> In the past few years though, first unofficially, and now, officially, the G-1 is for the title shot at the Tokyo Dome, and whomever wins the Tokyo Dome title shot ends up defending it once or twice, either against either people that beat them during the G-1, past opponents, or stable mates of the champion. </p><p> </p><p> When it comes to who gets title shots, again, it's a mix of things - what usually happens now in NJPW is the champion wins their match, is celebrating, when somebodies music hits and they come out and challenge the champion for the next big show. Usually, that person has won a big-ish match earlier in the show, or maybe has done something during the tour to be in competition with the champion. </p><p> </p><p> So, again, to use the example, Kitoaji faces somebody who maybe only barely lost to him, or somebody who beat him earlier in the year for the title shot, or he has a tune-up tag match against stablemates of Jimbo. While at the same show Kozue goes over Ugaki. Then, after Kitoaji wins his match, Kozue comes out and challenges him, either officially or in a way where Kozue beats him, honor would dictate Kitoaji giving up his title shot. </p><p> </p><p> At the same time, you can have a short angle on the first post-G1 card where Kobe officially challenges Jimbo, then after that match, PRIDE Kosio comes out to challenge Jimbo next. </p><p> </p><p> Does that all make sense?</p>

One thing that I think people miss, even though it's right there in front of them is the assistant. For the most part, it'll let you know if anything truly big-time is happening - somebody contract running out, morale issues, a lack of wrestlers, a broadcast deal is running out, somebody needing a gimmick, a manager not having clients. On the other hand, if that's largely clear, before a show, I usually bring up my roster, just in case I forgot to start a turn/re-name/re-gimmick/re-picture somebody, check my storylines if I know I needed to add/drop/edit something about them, and maybe check my backstage. An important thing to remember is...not everything needs to be checked daily. The truth is, you don't need to check your Creative Meeting every show, unless you've done a big turn, signed somebody important, or if it's been a PPV cycle. Same thing w/ size - if anything, checking that every show will only make you more unhappy.

To use PGHW as an example, let's say you have 16 workers, with 8 workers in each block. Let's also say you still have Jimbo as the champ. In Block A, Jimbo goes 5-1-1, going to a 30 minute draw with PRIDE Kosio, while his only loss was somewhat shockingly to Magnum Kobe. Meanwhile, in Block B, Masaru Ugaki & Kozue Kawashima actually drawed on the final day, allowing Chojiro Kitoaji to get into the finals by a single point, as he only lost to Kozue. Then, in the finals, Kitoaji goes over. But, now you don't have to do Kitoaji vs. Jimbo right away. You can do Jimbo vs. Kobe, and Jimbo vs. Kosio as main events, while at the same time, in the build-up, Kozue & Ugaki can have a re-match, and Kitoaji can take on Kozue. After that, you can now have your big Jimbo vs. Kitoaji match and then go from there - will Jimbo get another big title defense, will Kitoaji prove he has Jimbo's number by beating him twice in a row, etc., etc. Now, at first, this may seem like standard 50/50 booking, but remember, for the most part, stuff like the Champion Carnival/G-1/etc. are the only times guys are doing multiple single matches in a short period, so kayfabe wise, it makes sense they can possibly lose.
