Personally i'm with you on not liking simply changing the name of the Title but like a lot of people have said it depends on your level of immersion and if the Rock is Face or Heel. If face: I'd have a heel lay him out and destroy the belt on the last episode on TNT leading to the tournament where the heel who trashed the belt wins and faces The Rock in a grudge match to crown the first Champion of the new Title. If Heel: I'd have Rock talk smack about how dominant a Champion he has been before claiming he is done playing with the "small fish", he trashes the Belt and makes his move on to the World Title scene leading to the creation of the new Title and a tournament to crown a new Champion and potentially make a new star or two in the process.

Like most I tend to overload my roster with talent to the point where I have a lot of guys sitting around doing a whole lot of nothing aside from the dark matches to keep them active. A plus side to the bloated roster leads to having a big and diverse Tag Team division. Admittedly i'm a sucker for Tag Team wrestling so every game I start I always tend to build a deep Tag division. I struggle with lengthy babyface Title runs as well and instead focus way too much on the face chasing the Title and have heel Champions rack up the lengthy reigns.

I learnt this the hard way. Monday Next was my biggest merchandise mover making over 10k a month for me, my next highest was Nighthawk who was only pulling in a little over 2k. Long term booking plans to get the Title on Next got altered when current Champion Blake Belushi signed an exclusive deal with RAW to become their booker, so the Title got hot shotted to Next who promptly got signed by one of the Japanese Companies (Can't remember which off the top of my head.) So yeah, going forward I push who I want based on storylines and characters but i'm always mindful of having those pushes under exclusive deals.

The Australian wrestling scene went crazy in September 2024. Playing as my own company, MCW, I had just hit Medium size, joining RAW, APW and ZEN. Well everyone kind of went crazy with written contracts, myself included and while I managed to hold a few key players I did end up coming out the worst in the mass talent lockdown. Blaze Maximum, Monday Next, Blake Belushi, Hack Greer, Reggie Tate, Dazzler and Pink Spider are just some of the big names I had used to build my company up and they all fled for greener pastures. As of now my two biggest talents are Nighthawk (Babyface Champion) and Maelstrom (My primary heel) followed by The Affliction, The Apocalypse, Rob Edwards, Surfer Dude Lucas and Jesse Tasman. In all honesty it kind of is a blessing in disguise as I was getting bored with the save and now I have a new challenge in building up a ton of unknown talent to try and be competitive again. The plan over the next few months is to try and get Jesse Tasman out of his Surfer Dude tag team with Lucas and over enough to be my figurehead as he has all the tools to be successful with the exception of being a touch overshadowed in the overness department.

Had a few in various saves I'm running but the notable ones are Tommy Cornell signing for SWF, while not major in game mechanics sense it's interesting to see from a lore perspective that the guy who ran a company head to head against Eisen and the SWF would join them. Two separate instances with Jaime Quine, on one save she got praised for spreading positive vibes about body image, and on a different save one where she got heat for taking shots at "out of shape wrestlers" that got her into a negative relationship with Gorgon. Again not too exciting but cool to see how each save can be different. Finally got one on my RIPW save where Vicki Company announced her pregnancy in May, gave birth in November and then got busted cheating on Mark Misery, leading to a divorce, with Phillip Cooper. Immediately made me question if who the father of the newborn was.

I've done this with a few workers over the last few games in the TEW Series. Mainstream Hernandez - The Mainstream (Similar how Rocky Miavia became The Rock) Larry Wood - Manslaughter (Used an alt picture for him that had a Kane like mask.) Kaori Takenouchi - WAR Takenouchi (playing off the military gimmick) Toku Kijmuta - Bam Bam Kijmuta (Simply using her nickname instead of the first name) Regular Joe - Joe Benning (Never liked the Regular Joe name so just went with his natural name) High Flying Hawiian - Dante Kai I'm sure there are others but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Jack Griffith for me, in pretty much any Cverse game I've played I usually hire him assuming i'm not using him as my avatar (He is my go to when I open my own company.) Kind of like a once great prospect who didn't hit the mark people thought he would is making one last ditch effort to leave a positive legacy in the business. Always found his backstory one of those interesting "what if" deals where you wonder where he could have ended up if his demons didn't halt his progress.
