Plan of having Steve Frehley debuting at Night of PRIDE 2021 and shockingly defeat Seji Jimbo (sending him on a spiral that leads to him defeating every member of the roster in singles action before he can challenge for the Glory Crown again). This will catapult him into the title picture and spend the summer warring with the champions stable. I want him to set up the long term gaijin stable for PGHW, a name that isnt to specific to him or the members that I want in it to begin with (Brisbane Devil, King Malietoa, Danny Cavanagh, Yuri Iliakov).

*this was longer then I thought but I am enjoying this a lot* Night of HONOUR 2020 was my best show as of yet with PGHW, scoring an 86 in front of 42,158 fans in the New Shiga Stadium The main event was Seji Jimbo retaining his Glory Crown against leader of disHONOR, Kozue Kawashima in my best match yet an 89. Jimbo redeemed himself from his draw with Kozue in the Elite Series by making him tap out to the Seji Ocean Lock at the 59 min 47 second mark. Jimbo started the year defending the title against Akinori Kwakami (79) before a challenge from long time rival Chojiro Kitoaji. Jimbo retained his title (83) and had his eyes set on the Elite Series, looking to be the first man to win 3 in a row. He came up short in Block B scoring 15 points with Kozue getting 16. A loss against a returning Eisaku Kunomasu combined with a time limit draw against Kozue saw him end up in second place. The eventual winner was Chojiro Kitoaji, setting up a rematch at Night of Glory. Jimbo would yet again retain (87) in what was the companies best match right until the Night of HONOUR main event. Following this, he beat mentor Kunomasu (81) before beggining his rivalry with disHONOR. BISON Yano got his first ever Glory Crown oppurtunity and came up short (82). Kozue year started with betrayal when at Night of RESPECT Magnum Kobe, Tetsunori Yasuda and Hirobumi Takimoto turned on him forming KURO-GUN. This became Kozue's focus for the first half of the year, taking on the group that formed in spite of him. At Night of DESTINY he defeated Takimoto (73) and looked forward to the Elite Series where in Block B he would take on Magnum Kobe. The two couldn't settle their differences and had a time limit draw (81). Kozue topped his block with 7 wins and 2 draws, but would lose to Block A winner Kitoaji (83). Kozue went on to defeat the former WLW star in the co-main of Night of GLORY (84). After this show, Kozue formed disHONOR, a group that believe they are the best in the world and will stop at nothing to prove it. This then put them in direct opposition against the Glory Crown holder Jimbo and the rest of the home army. The build up till Night of HONOUR saw disHONOR face off against the home army in high quality trios and eight-man tag matches as well as BISON Yano failing to win the Glory Crown. The co-main of Night of HONOUR was another amazing match as Muruyama & Ugaki defeated the KURO-GUN team of Magnum Kobe and Tetsuunori Yasuda to retain their Glory Tag Crowns (86) Coming into 2020, Yano & Kikuchi were the Glory Tag Crown champions and the violent duo had a strong run of defences, defeating Kobayashi & Kamachi (63), Beast & West (65) and The Ring Generals (70). Muruyama & Ugaki hadn't done much for the first half of the year, Ugaki got second in Block A with 14 pts and Muruyama managing . Both members however had a win over the reigning tag champs in the Elite Series, leading to an amazing match at Night of Glory which saw the challenges become 4-time champions (77). Ugaki decided to form Blue Justice to combat the changing landscape of PGHW, this came in handy when KURO-GUN made it their mission to win the Glory Tag Crown. KURO-GUN came up short against Kozue and decided that taking down a different member of the "new gen big 3" in Ugaki would establish them as a threat. The first challengers were the SAISHO team of Black Iron Corps who joined KURO-GUN upon their arrival in PGHW. THe duo put up a fight but lost against the champions (79). Yasuda & Takimoto were the next KURO-GUN members to step up and lost in a valiant effort (82). This led to Magnum Kobe choosing Yasuda to be by his side at Night of HONOUR. The International title is in the process of becoming something more then just midcard filler. The champion SATO retained against Dean Waldorf (71) in perhaps the most under rated match of the night. Experienced gaijin Reaver began the year as champion defeating Hitomaru Suzuki (62) and Stone Yoshikawa (63). The champion however had a horrible Elite Series, managing only one win in Block A against BISON Yano. One of the men who beat him was SATO, the two-time Historical Japan champion had an impressive 10 points in the tournament and a win over Reaver, leading to a match between them at Night of FORTITUDE which saw SATO become champion (67). His first defense at Night of GLORY had him beat Kazushige Matsuki in an underwhelming affair (62) followed by Akinori Kwakami (68). SATO then found himself involved with the home army's battle with disHONOR, defeating Brute Kikuchi in the best match of his career (76). His opponent at Night of HONOUR was Dean Waldorf, very experienced in the PGHW tag ranks but it was yet to be tested in singles. His Elite Series campaign saw only two wins. A failed Glory Tag Crown challenge at Night of PRIDE followed him and soon he was one of the 3 men responsible for establishing disHONOR (his tag team partner Marv Statler and Kozue were the other two). Dean was chosen to take on SATO at Night of HONOUR but ultimately came up short The last of the matches to write about was the Historical Japan title match. The great run of Avalanche Takano, beginning back at September 2019, finally came to an end at the hands of Haranobu Kobayashi (64) Avalance Takano had the best year of his career so far, being a founding member of KURO-GUN after they helped him retain against Eien Miyamoto at Night of RESPECT (56). It seemed like every challenger he faced was beneath him, deafeating Totoya Munakata (62), Simon Flemmingway (63) and William Hayes (66) before another rising star in the form of one of Ugaki's protege Hirotsugu Satou stepped up to face him. Takano had the best match of his career and the hardest challenger to that point but retained (68). He was then roped into the KURO-GUN vs Blue Jusstice feud defeating members Stone Yoshikawa (59) and Tsurayuki Kamachi (65) before getting stopped by Kobayashi. Kobayashi was in the tag ranks alongside Kamachi most of the year, challenging for the Glory Tag Crown together at Night of RESPECT. The only singles action he really got was his run in the Elite Serie, an impressive 8 points in Block A. The rest of the year was spent in big multi-man tag matches with his team mate Kamachi and later on his stable mates in Blue Justice. Kobayashi was always seen as the number 3 behind the Muruyama & Ugaki, and he proved it at Night of HONOUR So that was ALOT longer then I expected but those were the four big matches from Night of HONOUR I wanted to cover. Eisaku Kunomasu came out of retirement to work alongside the man he helped train in Jimbo. Kitoaji had an amazing run in the first half of the year but he is currently cooling down in matches alongside Makiguchi and the rest of the home army.I like the state of the roster right now and probably won't add to many people unless they fit the stables. disHONOR Kozue Kawashima (leader), BISON Yano, Brute Kikuchi, Dean Waldorf, Hitomaro Suzuki, Marv Statler, Reaver Blue Justice Masaru Ugaki (leader), Ryoma Muruyama (deputy), Haranobu Kobayashi, Hirotsugu Satou, Nobuyo Hikichi, Stone Yoshikawa, Tsurayuki Kamachi KURO-GUN Magnum Kobe (leader), Tetsunori Yasuda (deputy), Avalance Takano, Azumamaro Kita, Fujio Narahashi, Hirobumi Takimoto, Taheji Konoe, Tatsuya Toshitara The young lions have also been interesting, Hikichi didn't end up going on excursion and has slowly been working his way up the card under his mentor Ugaki. Matt Blackburn has formed Team Freedom alongside James Diaz, who is crazy good. Goro Hatamato was brang in and has been improving steadily. Shuga Amano was also a young lion added to the roster but he is currently out on excursion in TCW. I would say alongside Masotochi Kamimura, who was doing great things on excurion in TCW including winning his first match there on television against Human Arsenal, but after 3 months he walked out on them. Luckily he was signed by MAW and made the finals of the Sam Keith Classic with Copperhead in a losing effort. Daigo Goyo was sent to OLLIE for a year but isn't receiving as many matches as I first thought considering they signed a national tv deal (3 matches in 3 and a half months). The boys that began the game on excursion have had mixed fates. The VWA trio Minoru Nakahata, Shinji Mihara and Shozo Furuta are putting on solid performances and slowly improving, however the likelyhood of all 3 appearing is low. Yuri Yoshihara on the other hand has had 25 matches for TCW, including 4 with Aaron Andrews, 3 with Edd Stone, 3 with Joshua Taylor and 7 with Sammy Bach. Safe to say he is doing great. Three dojo graduates came through (Bunrakuken Iseki, Rokuemon Shidehara, Yoshitake Asahara). Asahara is the best of them so far, but being a lightweight technician flyer most likely won't see much success in PGHW. Shidehara has potential but his base stats are very low and there is a long road ahaead. Iseki is a lower midcard hand at best, very low star quality and in-ring stats rivaling Shidehara means that the 2020 graduates won't be the next to lead the company. One final thing, the blocks of the Elite Series as well as our two big shows Night of GLORY and Night of HONOUR are below.

My EX2010 save is still going on but it is a bit of a grind due to adding an American division and booking RISE (developmental) myself so not much has really happened. In the mean time I did start up a ROH 2005 save and I love this time period for independent wrestling. Austin Aries starts as champion in 2005 but I didn't really like him as my champ considering the mod had him as well know. To combat this GenNext set war on AJ Styles ad AJ eventually overcame the numbers disadvantage and won the title at the 3rd anniversary show. AJ then held the bet having successful title defences but there wasn't really a story. This changed when CM Punk defeated him and started the Summer of Punk. It has been similar to the real-life Summer of Punk with his main enemies being a returning Christopher Daniels, James Gibson and Samoa Joe. In this save Samoa Joe has been the MVP of ROH, he won a best of 7 series against Danielson, kicking him out of ROH and consistently putting on the best ratings. KENTA, Roderick Strong and Ricky Reyes have all also been putting on good matches with KENTA winning the Pure title and Roderick Strong winning Tag Wars and later the Tag Team titles from Ricky Reyes. The future of ROH looks strong as Tyler Black (19), Jay Lethal and Roderick Strong (22), KENTA, Claudio Castagnoli and Fergal Devitt (24) are all rising up to World title contention.

Love all the work and effort going into the mod so far, even with just USA, Canada and Mexico it is really enjoyable. Playing as Burning Pro, MAW and OLLIE have all been fun and intriguing in different ways. Made a video giving a quick run down of the mod as it is so far, hope that is ok.

Been playing EX2010 in the Cverse and loving it, becoming my favourite save ever. Just finished the Grand Prix for 2022 and this post ended up longer than I thought it would, sorry for the rant, EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight The title starts on Masao Tsubouchi, one of the companies big three to build around. Tsubouchi started off feuding against Order of the Dragon and beat both Commander Kawagishi and Shimpei Hirose before facing against Orange Tsuchie. The story was that Tsubouchi couldn't beat Tsuchie without help, having a time limit draw and losing to him in the Tag Grand Prix going into Wrestle Kingdom. Right before Wrestle Kingdom I Subarashi was formed as the main heel threat in EXODUS. Tschie lost in the main event but would go on to win the Grand Prix, overcome Subarashi and win the world title. Tsuchi's reign saw he become the true ace of the company, being able to put on great matches against anyone (92 against Hyotaru at Zero Hour 2020 is still in our top 5 best ever matches). He gave rising stars like Motoyuki Miyake and Frankie Perez title opportunities. His reign ended when he lost to Subarashi member Tsuneyo Yanagimoto in the main event of Wrestle Kingdom II. Yanagimoto is the third of the EXODUS big three and has set the record for longest ever title reign. Winning the first ever Eiko no Torofi in 2021 (New Japan Cup style but with the G1 briefcase thing) Yanagimoto earnt a Wrestle Kingdom main event and won the title. His first few months were underwhelming against Mercury, X-Calibre and Art of War. 2022 so far has been the year of Yanagimoto, he kicked out Tsubouchi to become the leader of Subarashi, found a great deputy in Greg Gauge, beat Orange Tsuchie in a rematch and even retained his title in a 98 rated match against 2021 Grand Prix and 2022 Eiko no Torofi winner Tsubouchi. The future looks good for Yanagimoto however the roster is improving greatly, and he failed to beat his deputy Greg Gauge, coming away with a 60-minute time limit draw in a champion vs champion match. EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight Tag Team The tag team division has been a strong element of the company however due to this the belts have changed hands quite frequently. Hyotaru and X-Calibre (H-X) start as champions and reigned until June that year when they had to vacate the titles due to an injury to X-Calibre. The rest of 2020 saw Hustle-X, Kimyama & Kogo, Tsubouchi & Caballero all have reigns before H-X regained their titles. This lasted until The Legion defeated them at Thunder so H-X could split into solo action. The belts continued to change hands often with Perez & Smooth and The Canadian Daredevils becoming champions. Now in 2022 the Galaxy Surfers have held the titles since March and look strong. EXODUS All-Asia Junior Heavyweight Possibly the most overlooked title in the company, the All-Asia title has had few major storylines associated to it and has just been something for mid carders to win further propel themselves. 2020 saw Tobei Sugimura, Jotaro Tanaka and Frankie Perez holding the title, with Perez having it from Wrestle Kingdom I in May to the start of 2021. Edo Phoenix IV is a cult hero of EXODUS, having the best Wrestle Kingdom II match in his defence against Pretty Okakura getting an 88. Edo left to BHOTWG so he dropped the title to Kaoru Shibasawa. Felipe Cabellero won the title at the end of 2021 right before being kicked out from Subarashi with Tsubouchi. Gauge defeated Cabellero at Wrestle Kingdom III due to the Tsubouchi, Tsuchie and friend's vs Subarashi story. GCG World Takayuki 2000 left BHOTWG so I signed him up and had him debut at Wrestle Kingdom I proclaiming himself as the "real" world champion with the GCG belt. He beat EXODUS legend Burning EXILE and had the title until October that year when Commander Kawagishi won it. 2021 saw the debut of Noriyori Sanda and SANDA-GUN, resulting in Sanda winning the title. The build to Wrestle Kingdom II saw SANDA-GUN brutalising Subarashi members, so leader at the Tsubouchi challenged and defeated Sanda. Tsubouchi had the title all the way till New Years Dash 2022 when he lost to X-Calibre and then got kicked from his own stable. X-Calibre had the title for over half the year but lost at Invasion Attack Los Angeles when Yuta Isono beat him. ACPW Junior Heavyweight As of right now the last singles title in EXODUS, the ACPW Junior Heavyweight title arrived with Maple Terror Unit when they invaded the company. The real reason was EXODUS buying out ACPW to improve their popularity in Canada. Ant-Man had the title from the end of 2020 to Wrestle Kingdom II when he lost to Takayuki 2000. Since then the title has been the definition of mid card, Shimpei Hirose won it at Invasion Attack Los Angeles in 2021, Perez then became champion at Pacific Battle 2020 (Hawaii show). David Stone finally graduated form his Young Lion stage and defeated Perez for the title at Thunder 2022 and vows to honour Canada with this title. EXODUS Six-Man Everyone loves some trios titles when booked correctly so EXODUS implemented them to. The inaugural champions were crowned at Wrestle Kingdom II when Art of War (Musashi, Jotaro Tanaka and Japanese Phoenix) won a triple threat match against Order of the Dragon and a Subarashi trio. They then lost to SANDA-GUN (Noriyori Sanda, Motoyuki Miyake and Americana Jr). They lost the titles before 2021 was over to Frankie Perez and The Legion on a tour show. New Years Dash 2022 was a crazy event for Subarashi as Yuta Isono and Hustle-X won the trios title for the stable. They were finally beaten at Wrestle Kingdom III by the trio of Orange Tsuchie and DISCO Boys. EXODUS Grand Prix 2020 saw the Grand Prix become a round robin tournament (in canon every tournament in the Cverse is elimination, idk why) with two blocks of 10 men competing over 18 nights to decide who makes t to the final. Takayuki 2000 drew Block A with Jotaro Tanaka with 15 points, however due to Takayuki having a win against the former he moved on. Block B had Orange Tsuchie win with 14 points after defeating Yanagimoto on the last night who also had 12 points. Tsuchie then defeated Takayuki in the finals to win his 2nd GP. The 2021 addition had the same structure, this time Block A was won by Masao Tsubouchi on 14 points thanks to Yanagimoto drawing his last match with Mercury. Block B was the reigning Grand Prix winner and constant enemy of Subarashi, Orange Tsuchie (15 points). Tsubouchi bested his rival in the finals to win his 3rd GP, his second win in three years. The 2022 edition saw the field doubling in size with the addition of C and D Block. Block A saw former BCG World Champion Razan Okamoto come out on top with 15 points. The B Block saw the ace of Exodus win his Block for the third year in a row, this time with a record 17 points, his only draw coming against Kaiii Hanari. C Block saw the champion struggle as stablemate Pretty Okakura won with 14 points. The final Block was an upset as Motoyuki Miyake was tied on 16 points with Greg Gauge however Miyake already defeat Guage. The semifinals saw A Block winner Razan Okamoto defeat the C Block winner Pretty Okakura and Motoyuki Miyake pull of a miracle win against Orange Tsuchie. The miracle run ended their as the heir to SANDA-GUN lost to Razan Okamoto. EXODUS Tag Grand Prix The tag team version of the main Grand Prix, it originally started two Blocks of 6 teams. Massive Thunder went undefeated the whole tournament winning all 5 Block matches and the final against Kimiyama & Kogo. 2021 saw the new format of 8 team blocks and in the final Block A winner DREAM (Tetsuji Nishimoto and Kiyotaka) lost to the Galaxy Surfers of Block B. 2022 was the best edition of the Tag Grand Prix so far, Block A winner The Revengers defeated The Canadian Daredevils of Block B. All 3 winners of the tournament went on to lose at Wrestle Kingdom, will a team break the curse in 2023? EXODUS Eiko no Torofi The annual 32-man elimination tournament began in 2021 and saw Tsuneyo Yanagimoto defeat Tetsuji Nishimoto in the finals. The 2022 edition had Masao Tsubouchi facing off against the newest signing at the time Greg Gauge in the finals, the Gaijin star couldn't quite get it done. EXODUS Young Lions Cup A tournament designed to showcase the future stars of EXODUS, the Young Lions Cup was originally to Blocks of six competitors. It will soon become the RISE F-1 Festival, the round robin tournament of RISE (more on that later). The first edition in 2020 saw Yuta Isono defeat Dial K for Kotani in the final, with 2021 seeing David Stone beat Nakayama. Both former winners have gone on to great things and time will tell if this tournament will continue to make stars RISE and the American title were announced at the post show press conference. RISE will be a developmental company based up in Hokkaido in order for the dojo graduates of EXODUS and other young stars from around the world to get experience and improve before hitting the main roster. This also means the EXODUS Project will expand, currently there are the Tokyo (January 2021), Los Angeles (January 2021) and Montreal (January 2022) branches. Soon the Auckland (June 2023) and Sapporo (September 2023) will produce graduates for the company. As for the American title, Invasion Attack will become a weekly TV show to improve the popularity of EXODUS in the United States. The show will have a distinct brand and roster to it, mixing in independent talent from America and current wrestlers in EXODUS. Again, sorry this post is so long
