How badly can announcing drag my main event down? Since I hit Cult I haven't got higher than a B for a main event when at regional I was regularly hitting A's. The only negative on the dirt sheet is the announcing (the best announcers available in the UK have 65 for announcing)

I'm out of competition. I have all the big stars. Too many even. This is easily the most successful run at the Road to Glory challenge I've ever had but because of that I'm now unsure of where to go or what to do so early in my career.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Did you complete the RtG challenge by getting an A* match in a national fed?

<p>I started a new game using Derek B's 1997 C-verse mod.

The start game is so different to TEW13 and it was really odd to be running nine shows a month in the first year.

Well done Soxfan, I inducted Samayel into the RTG Hall of immortals

Mine went from 28k to 4.5k and show costs from 4.3k to 1.7k.

Adam's announced changes for the next patch: Changes for next patch: - Sponsorship has been raised a little - Local companies no longer have a minimum roster size - Show costs are much lower for all companies below cult, especially local

End of Year 2: A good year for Arutha Hawke, he is now the figurehead of BWF and has defended his title in classic matches against JOJI and Merle O'Curle (both C-'s). Hugh DeAske is up next at the start of 2018. Rolls so far: 19. “Feet of Fury” You have devoted your holiday season to training in the ring +5 to your Puroresu skill 3. "Trusted Companion" You gain the Loyalty of one of your roster (random roll from the list of your current roster). Bryant Ramirez is now loyal to me. He is Bruiser's regen and he is obviously now getting a push.

Thanks to the new patch I managed to claw back the $75k debt I had and the British Wrestling Federation survived. I now have everything I need to be the figurehead except Merle O'Curle is more over than me. That will be rectified when I take my BWF title back at the next show. I'm looking forward to getting deep into a save at last. If you post an update in this format (or similar) i'll update the front page with your ongoing challenge: Arutha Hawke (British Wrestling Federation - Small) Game date: August 2017 Best UC Match so far: D vs Merle O'Curle (April 2017)

Maybe because, like me, you imagined him facing midgets at every show

The new patch increased my sponsorship from $7k to $28k. Thanks Adam. Time to take advantage and get this $75k debt cleared..

<p>I'm up to June 2016 after booking 20 hour long weekly shows. I'm still losing $8k a month but at least if I go bust this time I'll have 75 matches under my belt.

Make sure the wrestling industry and economy are in decent shape. I just went bust again, fifth time lucky I guess.
