With this I think I will call this save done for now. I essentially played this save non stop for the last month as I had a three week break before my next semester of classes. Work + Masters program does not leave much time for TEW unfortunately. Maybe I'll do a couple more months to try and get the 100, but it feels more like I'm just hoping for a good dice roll at this point. Somehow 99s feel incredibly common in TEW while the stars must all be in alignment to get a 100.
This was my first RTG so I don't want to try and offer a complete overhaul of the achievements, but I do feel that there could be some tweaking with the rewards, maybe even two levels of minor & major rewards. I gave myself three positive and three negative gimmick attributes not noticing that most of the rewards from 41-51 are all about gimmick attributes. I did take some rerolls as I rolled 41 a couple of times and one of my attributes was already that I don't play dominant well. It also seems that rewards tend to come in waves with long delays between the next roll. Only 5/17 of my rolls occurred outside of year end. Not counting the year end roll, each year I got to roll:
- 2022: 0 rolls
- 2023: 0 rolls
- 2024: 1 rolls
- 2025: 0 rolls
- 2026: 3 rolls (2 rolls were breaking into the top 250 & 500 of the top 500)
- 2027: 0 rolls
- 2028: 1 rolls
- 2029: 4 rolls (2 rolls were breaking into the top 50 & 100 of the top 500)
There are a couple rewards that may need to be updated. Unless I missed it, there is no longer 'loyalty' between workers. When I rolled 3, instead I picked 'like family'. 7 is also a strange one, with how rare rolls are, I would be pretty disappointed to roll it even once. I assume that is the closest relationship level to loyalty. The gimmick rewards that add Musician, TV/Movie star are also kinda pointless (except the stat boosts) as your UC will never take a break to go on tour / film. I guess it is just a little flavor, but still a bit odd. Hard to believe that my UC at only 25 is a famous wrestler, a musician, and a TV star. He must never sleep.
I can't comment on booking rep/skill as I only had one size change with the new update, so I don't know how much booking rep you get from moving up in size. I ended with 52 rep and 86 booking skill. I believe I gave myself +5 booking one of the years my company received the 'most improved' award.
Hopefully by the time I'm able to do another long save the CV 1977 mod will be available. Such a good mod, I did my second longest save in 2020 on it. I will probably also try a more difficult product next time. British Sportsmanship felt like easy mode.
Thanks for the update. It is a feature of the challenge that getting a 100 is very hard. It is common to get 5-10 99's before finally getting 100.
Some of the rolls are definitely there for flavour, you start with a blank slate character so I find it interesting to see what kind of gimmick types and second jobs come up.

I'll probably keep the +5 skill +5 reputation. I'm kind of banking on being able to move promotions at some point, so the reputation is slightly more valuable to me than most of the random bonuses on offer. I'm already the second best worker on the roster (and Tommy Jr aka Mary Sue Easymode really shouldn't count). I should probably be focussing on getting myself over more. Beating people, instead of working fun little Mixed Tag matches in the midcard.
You can keep the booking rep since that is now in the game. It is only the booking skill you would be giving up.

Jeez - I just made it to March 2025 and got a look at TCJ. His stats feel a little ridiculous to me. He's instantly the most well-rounded worker in the game world (no one betters his combination of top line stats). I can't decide if it's fun to have this wunderkind running around or if I want to nerf him.
Big Rougey made a great point on the Discord; TCJ used to be a reward for booking ten years in the game but his debut has got closer and closer to the game start and now he can just be grabbed almost straight away. In hindsight is does feel like Adam should have nerfed him.

Huge Debuts!
Rating: 79
The show opened with Ian Rosa and Melanie Florence at the announce desk. They were very agitated about a rumour of a big name debut to start the show. We went to the ring but no one appeared at first. Then music! Wait is that…
Jeff Nova's music!
And he's not alone…
Apollo Prince is here too!
The crowd popped huge for the former 21CW owner and the two time 21CW champion! Nova took a mic and started laying into the British wrestling fans! He said that the demise of 21CW was not his fault and instead reflected the bad taste of the fans. Nova insulted 3LW’s tournament structure and said that a system with defendable titles is the only reasonable way to run a wrestling promotion. Jeff Nova then pulled the 21CW World Title out of a bag! By now The Pride had gathered around the ring, they were shocked and just waited to see what Nova and Prince did next. Prince said that the 21CW World Title is the only title that matters in British Wrestling. If everything was as it should be, Prince continued, he should be fighting Luke Cool in the main event for this belt but since Luke had run off to Berlin (he signed a two year written deal with VWA) he will fight whoever Leo Price picks, right now!
21st Century World Title
Apollo Prince defeated Bali Daljit
Rating: 68
Leo Price was stunned into inaction and Bali Daljit picked himself for the match. Price nodded assent and the three time Grand Slam winner stepped into the ring with the 21CW champ! Daljit was up for this and went at Prince with dives and aerial strikes. Prince was shocked and took some time on the outside of the ring to strategise with Nova. Prince got back into the ring and settled into a rhythm and we started to see some of the highly athletic spots that made him a national star. Daljit continued to fight hard and looked to be in control when he ascended the top turnbuckle ready to hit his famed Shooting Star Press. Instead Nova pushed some of the watching Pride members over, causing a distraction allowing Prince to recover and hit a low blow on Daljit! Prince threw Daljit off the top rope and hit the Apollogy (Reverse Snap Inverted DDT). Prince covered and Nova directed the referee towards the ring and he counted the three. Prince had retained the title, although it is not an official 3LW title, this would be for Price and Bruce to sort out.
3LW Lightweight Tag titles
The Dublin Gals (Blair Kerrigan and Cassie O’Peter) defeated Jon Michael Sharp and Martin Heath
Rating: 63
Sharp and Heath had been saying that their loss in the first match for these belts was a complete fluke but Blair and Cassie proved them wrong for good this time. The match was close with lots of near falls around the ten minute mark but Blair won a clean victory for the Gals when she pinned Martin Heath after a top rope legdrop.
3LW Lightweight title
Welsh Dragon defeated Thea Davis
Rating: 73
Thea Davis had been involved with 3LW since day one back in 2022 but this was only her second shot at the Lightweight Title. She probably thought she had won it too when she overpowered Dragon with strikes and then hit her Flying Elbow Drop finisher. She covered but Dragon got his foot on the rope at two. Thea tried to follow up but Dragon was reinvigorated by the close call and took control with his deadly kicks. One clean Dragon Kick was enough to topple The Red Queen and Dragon made the 7th successful defence of his title.
Backstage Segment; Jaspers Squires welcomed Tommy Cornell Jr. back to 3LW. Squires said, "I've been waiting" and then walked off.

Tommy Cornell Jr defeated Aurelian Bradley
Rating: 63
Cornell Jr. did not lose in his first stint on 3LW and he went 3-0 in his second stint with this routine victory over ‘The Censor’. Bradley lasted 14 minutes but in the end was forced to tap out to the Guilt Trip.
Sifu defeated Forrest Charmer
Rating: 77
The Yankee Poodle was very aware of Sifu’s dangerous strikes and so he spent most of the match outside the ring or hiding behind the referee. Charmer did manage to get some offence in after an eye poke but when Sifu got back in control he resorted to running away again. Eventually Sifu cornered Charmer and he was forced to fight, he actually held his own for a while until Sifu hit the Roaring Back Fist from nowhere and pinned Charmer for the victory.
Beasts of the Atlantic defeated Roving Eagles (Fro Sure & Whole Lotta Marvin)
Rating: 69
This bout was violent, bad tempered and turned bloody towards the end. Squires and Donovan saw this match as a chance to finally prove to the Eagles that they needed help in 3LW, the Eagles saw this as a chance to prove they could make it on their own. In the end, the action was so brutal and the match was so close that Sure and Marvin proved their point even in defeat. This whole feud started with Sure refusing to take Squires’ orders and Jasper must have left this match with much more respect for Sure than he started with. The finish saw Donovan take Marvin out with a spectacular over the top rope lariat leaving Sure and Squires one on one. Both men were bleeding heavily as they slugged it out in the middle of the ring. Sure took control and looked for the Sure Thing but Squires rolled through with a victory roll and got the three!
Bruce brought out the Godiva Tag Classic Trophies and the Cornell Cup

3LW Godiva Tag Classic
Cornell Cup
The Red Devils (Viktor Beskov and Yuri Illiakov) defeated The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan)
Rating: 88
It was finally time; Lights v Devlls with victory in the two biggest tag tournaments in Britain at stake. Alton Vicious entered the match with taped ribs from his match with Iliakov and he looked in a bad way at the start of the match as the Devils worked his midriff with punches and kicks. Florence reminded us that Vicious did win that match against Iliakov despite the injury and he showed the same level of resolve here too. As the match went over fifteen minutes it was clear that we were seeing a level of skill and experience that 3LW fans had not seen before. These were seasoned pros in the prime of their lives and every near fall brought a reaction from the thirteen and a half thousand in attendance.
Things started to get messy as twenty minutes approached, brawling on the outside was more common and the ring steps, ring posts and barricades were all used as landing spots for the four men throwing each other around. Vicious took a hard landing on the ring steps from a Devil's Double Suplex and then The Devils hit Jordan with the Moscow Dynamite on the ramp. Vicious was rolled back in to the ring and Iliakov put the boots to his ribs as Beskov applied the Red Devil Lock! Leo Price was at ringside pleading with Vicious not to give up as Zofia Jankovic urged him to tap out and eventually Vicious did. The Red Devils were the Godiva Tag Classic and Cornell Cup winners and had proven that they were the best tag team in the country.

I rolled my booking achievements and got a load of promo related bonuses. So it seems that I unveiled my musical ability and took some improv classes and a video of my skills went viral giving me +5 worldwide pop and making me flavour of the month.
I could have done with some selling or psych but this will do.
-
Ok, I have updated the rules to allow a roll for booking achievements (or you can take the +5 skill and reputation).
If you are going to take the rolls retrospectively (I am), then keep your booking rep the same as the +5 should now be built into the game and reduce your booking skill by the 5 x the number of sizes you have gone up.

Thea Davis defeated Cain Carlile
Rating: 77
This match was a number one contendership match for the 3LW Lightweight Title. Captain Crash landed some good dives on Davis but the Red Queen won following her Flying Elbow Drop after nine minutes.
Tommy Cornell Jr and Travis Donovan defeated Pigeon Mask I and Pigeon Mask VII
Rating: 57
Cornell came to the ring carrying a large box, he put the box down at ringside and waited for his teammate. Cornell and Donovan were a seemingly random pairing but they worked excellently together. They cooked up a spectacular finish in their very first match as a team; Cornell performed a slingshot suplex as if he was going for the Rough Ride but instead of hitting a facebuster he expertly transferred Pigeon Mask I to Donovan who landed the Donobomb! Pigeon Mask I was finished and Mask VII didn’t break up the pin in case he got the same treatment!
Cornell Jr. hands the Cornell Cup to Bruce!
Rating: 73
After the match Tommy called Jack Bruce into the ring. Cornell said that as 3LW’s Tournament Director he should have this and he pulled the Cornell Cup out of the box he brought to ringside! Tommy said that this cup was initiated by his dad in 2018 and first won by his dad and his uncle. Since then it was fought for every year in 21CW, with some of the top stars in British Wrestling becoming Cornell Cup Holders. Now 21CW is gone and 3LW is the premier British Wrestling promotion. Cornell said you might disagree with this statement if your idea of good wrestling is fat Scottish men hitting each other with chairs but as far as the Cornell family is concerned 3LW is now the standard bearer for the cream of British Wrestling! Cornell’s suggestion to Bruce is that the final of the Godiva Tag Classic is now also for the Cornell Cup! Bruce agreed and the two men shook hands.

Bruce reads another proverb for Sifu
Rating: 77
Jack Bruce was called out to the ring again, this time by Sifu. Sifu handed cards to Bruce and once again Jack dutifully read them out. The proverb this time was Liángyào kǔ kǒu or ‘good medicine tastes bitter’. Bruce guessed that this meant Sifu was challenging Forrest Charmer next week! Sifu nodded and struck a martial pose.
Alton Vicious defeated Yuri lliakov
Rating: 67
This match seemed to hinge on a single moment about ten minutes in. Vicious charged at Iliakov in the corner but Yuri slipped away just in time and Vicious went crashing into the turnbuckle torso first. Vicious stayed where he was in clear pain and Iliakov followed up with a spear to the torso from behind! From here it should have been a case of Iliakov simply picking Vicious apart. However no one is as tenacious as Alton Vicious and The Bad Man battled back and pulled off a stunning victory after a Vicious snap from nowhere. Iliakov was furious and hit Vicious with another spear as Vicious celebrated his win!
Viktor Beskov defeated Riddick Jordan
Rating: 78
The difference in physiques on show in this match seemed to make a big difference. Riddick Jordan is 6’2” tall and weighed 241lbs but was not in the best shape of his career. Standing across from him was Yuri Iliakov who, at 6’3” and 261lbs looked muscular and lean. Jordan is a very good technical wrestler and the foundation of the match was Illiakov’s attempts to put Jordan in his Red Devil Lock (Kimura) and Jordan’s skillful counters and escapes. After one very nice escape from an attempted Red Devil Lock, Jordan hit Illiakov with a lariat and a scoop slam and went up top for his signature Flying Headbutt. However, whether it was Iliakov playing possum or whether Jordan’s extra weight slowed him down, he was too slow and Illiakov moved leaving Jordan to land face first on the canvas! Iliakov acted quickly and locked on the Red Devil Lock! Jordan was in the middle of the ring and hurt from his missed headbutt and he had no choice but to give his verbal submission.
Red Devils and Northern Lights brawl to end the show!
Rating: 75
The referee called for the bell but Iliakov did not release the hold! Alton Vicious came down to help clutching his ribs and he was closely followed by Viktor Beskov. Chaos reigned to end the show as the four men brawled uncontrollably all over the arena! Which of these teams will win the Godiva Tag Classic and the Cornell Cup?! Don’t miss the next show, on 29th May, as 3LW are live on OnDem for the first time!

Leo Price came to the ring to talk to Jack Bruce. Price admitted that the Pride had not been successful in recent years but the acquisition of Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan is game changing and The Pride are heading back to the top of 3LW. Price hyped up the Godiva Tag Classic Semi Finals tonight and said that the Northern Lights will prove that they are the top tag team in the world.

Tommy Cornell Jr is back!
Tommy Cornell Jr and Sifu defeated Aurelian Bradley and Forrest Charmer
Rating: 69
There was a decent pop for TCJ but it was noticeable that his reaction was nowhere near as loud as some of the ex 21CW guys; 3LW had grown a lot since he had left.
The match was excellent, Cornell Jr had got even better in his time away and dominated the match. It was Sifu who got the pinfall however, pinning Bradley following his lightning quick Roaring Back Fist.
Jon Michael Sharp defeated Blair Kerrigan
Rating: 53
Sharp and Heath considered their loss to the Dublin Gals at Lion’s Share to be a complete fluke and Sharp somewhat proved that point with an emphatic win over Kerrigan. Sharp skillfully and ruthlessly worked over Blair's back and made her tap out to the Sharpshooter. After the match he held Kerrigan's Lightweight Tag belt before handing it back to her as if to say, have this back - for now.
Eagles interrupt WWF promo to offer Travis a spot, he seems to be thinking about it!
Rating: 56
Squires, Donovan and Davis were in the ring to give their thoughts ahead of the Godiva Cup Semi Final match with the Northern Lights. Squires was just saying that this was the chance for the Beasts of the Atlantic to prove themselves and for him to complete the Grand Slam when he was interrupted by the Roving Eagles. Sure spoke for the Eagles and said that they were here to talk to Donovan. Marvin said that he was incredibly impressed with the ‘Absolute Unit’ during their recent matches. Callum added that he knows Donovan is a real American homeboy from Tuscon, Arizona. Callum said that he thinks Donovan would be better off leaving the WWF and joining the Eagles, it’s like a home away from home! Donovan seemed to be thinking about this while a furious Squires ranted at the Eagles.
Godiva Tag Classic - Semi Final
The Red Devils (Viktor Beskov and Yuri Illiakov) defeated JK Lee and Padraig O'Hearne
Rating: 69
Lee and O'Hearne were very keen to get revenge for their fallen faction leader but took a cautious approach. JK Lee was the smallest man in the match by some margin, he wrestles as a lightweight in singles competition, but he is also the most technically gifted and the story of the match was his battle to make one of the Devils tap out to the Crossface. He got close a few times but Beskov and Iliakov always managed to power out and they eventually hit the Moscow Dynamite on Lee to score the pinfall win. The Red Devils were through to the final but who would they face?

The Northern Lights (Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan) defeated Beasts of the Atlantic (Jasper Squires and Travis Donovan)
Rating: 76
Squires still seemed rattled by the Roving Eagles interruption and it cost him at the start of the match as Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan took control. Donovan got The Beasts back into the match with a series of lariats and powerslams and it was an even and engaging contest for 15 minutes. With exhaustion setting in for both teams the Lights started trying to set up the Lights Out, their Double Brainbuster Suplex finish, but Squires and Donovan still had the strength to power out of it. The Lights did not get to hit the Lights Out but in a veteran move, Jordan countered a Price Drop attempt into a backslide and got a three count! Squires was furious with himself as another chance to complete the Grand Slam slipped away.

Zofia holds a funeral for Stefan Raynor’s career

Zofia Jankovic came to the ring to start the show. She was dressed in full Black Widow attire with a big black hat on her head. Zofia read a eulogy for Raynor, she told us that he made a good decision in creating the New Assassins but made a fatal mistake in having her beaten up and removed from the group. Now he is gone; a four time Grand Slam winner reduced to dust by The Red Devils. Zofia ended with a warning; cross her and you will be next. Zofia said Vicious and Jordan will be crushed too.

Sifu stayed in the ring and beckoned Jack Bruce to join him. Sifu handed Bruce a card to read. Printed on the card was a Chinese Proverb which Bruce read surprisingly well! Du mu bù cheng lin, dan xian bu cheng yin. Sifu handed Bruce a card with the translation; A single tree does not make a forest; a single string can not make music. “Am I to understand that you will not be alone next time?” Bruce asked. Sifu nodded and held up two fingers on each hand, he was challenging Bradley and Forrest to a tag match at St George’s Day Bash!
Travis Donovan defeated Nelson Callum
Rating: 61
Nelson is a very skilled brawler but the 100lbs weight difference was too much for him in this bout. Everytime ‘The Natural’ got some momentum Travis stopped him in his tracks with a huge chop or a powerslam. Eventually Callum was exhausted and the ‘Absolute Unit’ delivered the Donobomb and got the three count.
Yuri lliakov defeated Padraig O'Hearne
Rating: 67
This was the first of two preview matches ahead of the Godiva Tag Classic Semi Finals at St George’s Day Bash. The match was just an unsophisticated all out brawl, neither man seemed interested in posing or showing off they just traded fists for 14 enthralling minutes. The finish was a thrilling series of finisher counters with Iliakov finally hitting his Suplex Powerslam to put O’Hearne down for the three count.
Alton Vicious defeated Jasper Squires
Rating: 81
This was another preview of the GTC Semi Finals and was widely regarded as the best 3LW match so far. Squires clearly relished a chance to wrestle a truly top talent and went at the task with gusto, hammering at the veteran’s arms and shoulders to try and take away the Vicious Snap, a rolling inverted DDT which had won many matches for ‘The Bad Man’. Vicious gave up two inches and 25lbs to the ambitious youngster but his experience told in the end as he paced himself better than Squires and had more in the tank as the match reached the twenty minute mark. Vicious scored with a brutal series of body punches and with Squires doubled over he delivered the Vicious Snap and got the three count. Vicious celebrated as the packed crowd cheered him on, Squires left after giving a short bow of respect to his opponent, he would go back to the gym and train harder.

Bradley; I know something you don't
Rating: 51
Sifu came to the ring for a promo. The thing is that he has taken a vow of silence so he handed Jack Bruce a card with his statement on. Bruce read that Sifu accepted Bradley’s challenge because people like ‘The Censor’ think they know everything. They don't and it might take a few lessons for this to sink in.
Bradley came to the ring smiling his malevolent smile. Bradley called Sifu “a stuck up, sanctimonious bell end.” Bradley added that he knew at least one thing that Sifu didn't and suddenly Forrest Charmer attacked Sifu from behind! Charmer hit Sifu with the Lucky Charm (Forward Russian Legsweep) and posed for the crowd as Bradley rained down punches on Sifu from the mount position. 3LW officials regained control of the situation and Sifu was helped to the back.

The Eagles strong words seemed a bit hollow when they actually got into the ring with the monstrous Travis Donovan. The ‘Absolute Unit’ threw Marvin and Callum around like rag dolls in a dominant start to the match. The Eagles made a bit of a comeback against Squires but when Donovan tagged back in he dominated again and pinned Marvin after a Donobomb. A hugely impressive performance from Donovan!

This was a big match for 3LW, not because of the contest itself but because of the impact of having stars like Vicious and Jordan in the promotion. Robson and Vedmore fought hard but the result was never in doubt; this was a night for the Lights to shine. Vicious pinned Robson after 14 minutes after the Lights had hit their renowned Lights Out double team move (Double Brainbuster Suplex). Price came into the ring to pose with the Lights after the match and the fans went home happy.

Jack Bruce came to the ring with the Lion’s Share trophy and called out the new champion; Bali Daljit. The mood was bleak between the two and Daljit didn’t even want to hold the trophy at first. Bruce addressed the debut of the Red Devils, he said that this was an exciting time for 3LW but an unpredictable and dangerous time. Bruce put a hand on Daljit’s shoulder consolingly and advised him to stay true to his principles.

Beskov delivered a piledriver as Iliakov jumped off the apron onto him! Raynor was completely motionless as terrified officials rushed to help him. ‘The Angel-Faced Assassin’ was stretchered out as The Red Devils posed in the ring. O'Hearne and Lee rushed out to confront them but Beskov and Iliakov fled through the crowd.
Travis Donovan defeated Whole Lotta Marvin
Rating: 63
The ‘Absolute Unit’ almost met his match in this big meaty men slapping meat match. The 6’10”, 340lbs Donovan going up against the 6’8”, 322 lbs Marvin was quite a spectacle. Donovan approached the match with intensity and focus, Marvin played to the crowd and got them rowdy with his charisma and positive vibes. The meat slapping lasted for 12 entertaining minutes until Donovan impressively got Marvin up for the Donobomb. The crash of Marvin being slammed against the canvas from seven feet seemed to shake the building's foundations! Donovan covered and got the three to earn an impressive victory.
Jasper Squires defeated Nelson Callum
Rating: 72
As the audience were recovering from the big boy battle they had just witnessed they were treated to a second WWF v Eagles matchup. This bout was even better as Squires won a highly tactical battle. Squires focussed his attack on Callum’s neck and shoulders, using his superior size to land shoulder breakers and suplexes to achieve this. Due to the punishment received, Callum was unable to apply the Honey Trap Guillotine Choke and succumbed to a pinfall loss after a Price Drop.

Granger held his own against the gargantuan Russian team but Barry was completely dominated and it was no surprise when he was pinned after 14 minutes. The Devils didn't even celebrate, they simply tossed Barry out of the ring and started beating up Granger.
Red Devils were about to piledrive Granger when a new team made the save!

The Devils worked over Granger and were about to give him the same treatment they gave Raynor when…
The Northern Lights are here!
Alton Vicious and Riddick Jordan ran to the ring and Yuri Iliakov and Viktor Beskov dropped Jermaine Granger and fled. Vicious and Jordan helped Granger and Barry up and posed in the ring. The Northern Lights were in 3LW!

OK, so now we know that booking skill is irrelevant except for getting CE (which we can get easily enough from our booking teams) and booking rep now goes up as we increase in size. Do we go back to getting a roll for the booking achievements?
My main concern is that creative finishes could make getting 100 too easy but we could always simply say you need to not use a creative finish to complete the challenge.
What are everyone's thoughts?

Season 22 Preview: Godiva Tag Classic 2027
Eight teams will compete in the single elimination tag tournament. None of the previous winners will be entering as a complete team so we will have first time winners. Stefan Raynor will be hoping to win his third GTC with a third different partner as he reforms the Assassin's Guild with Louie Peyton. The Guild face a tough Quarter Final draw against New Assassin's teammates Padraig O'Hearne and JK Lee.
Two teams will make their 3LW Grand Slam debuts in this tournament; The Red Devils (Yuri Iliakov and Viktor Beskov) and a team yet to be revealed.
Previous winners of the 3LW Godiva Tag Classic
2026 - Bali Daljit and Beast Bantom
2025 - Konrad Makinen and Stefan Raynor
2024 - Jon Michael Sharp and Martin Heath (2)
2023 - Zofia Jankovic and Stefan Raynor
2022 - Jon Michael Sharp and Martin Heath-

Godiva Tag Classic 2027 was wild and transformative, it might take a few days to write everything up and plan for King of the Jungle 2027 so in the meantime here is some pigeon related content:

Huh. I think that's the first time I've ever seen wide selection of angles as a bonus.
Really? I think you only need three different types. I normally try and have a cutting a promo, interview or staredown and a beatdown or brawl

Just one TV show, I don't like booking a second brand or B shows, and I did one year worth of 'PPV' events as well. Now I have deals with Premier Pay TV, Canada 1-Choice, and Seleccion Mexico for my PPVs.
I went doing two month events on WrestleWorld for ~2 years, to one TV show and one event per month on OnDem for one year, and now have the split OnDem for TV and PPV providers for events.
That's exactly the path I am taking, thanks.

I think I mistyped what I meant. If the end of month finances go back to the black for 1 month, that takes you out of debt, which I think resets the timer. I don't think it's as simple as a month of profit, I think you have to be completely out of debt for 1 calender month.
Ah yes, that makes sense. They had been in debt for years and years and losing millions more each year.

That is how I grew after buying out MAW. The money from OnDem has been huge and let me poach some workers from PSW / afford MAW's top talents. My production levels are at 5/5/5/7 and I'm bringing in ~300k per month in profit. The downside is that growth basically stops at 70. I'm now having to decide if I should switch to ACE when my contract expires, but there are no Canada or Mexico TV broadcasters who will sign me yet.
Sounds like you are ready for the owned broadcaster end game.
What shows did you have on OnDem?

Feels like i'm getting there now

Just hit Medium and my booking rep went up by five automatically 😁
The money is crazy now:
I noticed that CZCW got to number two in the world using OnDem so I am going to copy them. It is a huge increase in production costs but I should be able to cover it.

Basically, maybe some changes to their behavior once they are negative. Also, other companies should be more aggressive in hostile takeover's of historic (either 7 years old or Small size) companies. A certain wrestling business owner bought his competition (WCW/ECW), not just let them go into bankruptcy and do nothing.
Yeah, behaviour changes when going into debt would be great. If our owner can decide to work for free then surely Jeff Nova can decide to run show only in Southern England until they are back in the black.
I like the more aggresive AI purchasing idea too. In an ideal work owned broadcasting revenue would be affected by the number and quality of shows in the back catalogue and purchasing tape libraries would be a thing (like a certain former wrestling business owner).

From the 1.17 patch notes:
- Altered it so that a company rising or falling in size affects the booker's reputation, by request
Thanks Adam!

Congrats! I have added you to the Hall of Fame.
I know what you mean about the storylines, my owner just changed the product to Respectful Wrestling and it is so different to what I have been booking.
