The match serves as a decent start to the show, but – based on their recent fortunes – there is little suspense as to who will win. In the end, it is Huggins who pins Biggins to get the win for his team. Winner: The Hybrid Two and Maverick via pinfall in 14:59 with Huggins pinning Biggins for the win 71</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> STONE HAS FOUND HIS MOJO We go backstage where a visibly elated Edd Stone – accompanied by his valet Vita – is standing by. Stone: Two weeks ago I finally managed to snap my losing streak, and I did it against one of the true veterans of this company. I couldn't be more happy, yet I'm far from content. I can guarantee you, the fans, that this is only the beginning of the road to redemption for the new old Edd Stone. Embracing my true self has given me a sense of inner strength I haven't felt in a long time. I've put in the work, so now is the time to party. Youngman, good luck tonight! 77</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Edd Stone vs Ernest Youngman Let's see how Stone fares against the hot new commodity that is "The Assassin of the Squared Circle" Ernest Youngman. We have Vita in Stone's corner and Venus Angeletti in Youngman's corner, so it'll be interesting to see whether there will be any shenanigans. The match starts slow, with Youngman trying to prevent Stone from using his fast-paced moves by taking him to the mat. It's a battle of styles, as Stone's radical style of high flying clashes with Youngman's hard-hitting blend of strikes and mat wrestling. Youngman looks strong throughout the match but has to accept defeat after Stone hits him with the Party's Over. Winner: Edd Stone via pinfall in 14:03 68</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> TANA ACCEPTS PEAK'S CHALLENGE Tana is sitting in the back, flanked by his stablemates Mighty Mo and Mighty Allen. Tana: You're in for a rude awakening, Eddie Peak, if you believe that I've lost my might. It's true that I am no longer able to compete physically with my two friends here, the mighty Mo and Allen, but I'm still far more dangerous than my generally friendly demeanor let's on. You say that you want to face me this Sunday, to which I say YOU'RE ON! I see you then. 70</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Chance Fortune vs Matthew DeVille Guest Commentary: Darryl Devine Next up is a match between Chance Fortune and Matthew DeVille. Darryl Devine is on commentary and wastes no time ripping into Fortune, saying that his former partner was holding him back and is a no good, washed up loser. In the ring, Fortune tries his best to prove Devine wrong, and – after some great early offense from DeVille – is able to get a victory before their big match on Sunday. Fortune walks up to the commentary booth and talks some smack at Devine, but security is able to separate the two before they come to blows. Winner: Chance Fortune via pinfall in 9:42 50</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> BACH PROMISES TO BEAT CHORD AGAIN Next up, we have a message from Sammy Bach popping up on the big screen. Bach: Jay Chord! You should be more careful what you wish for. Beating a bunch of midcarders does not make you a future legend. You may believe that you are destined for greatness, but may I remind you that you've choked the second you had to go up against a true main eventer? I have nothing to prove to you, young man, but after your attack last week the temptation to shut you up again is too big. I will see you this Sunday, but this time I'm going to submit you. 92</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Dave Newton vs Troy Tornado The next match pits veteran Troy Tornado against Dave Newton, who's yet to make a big impression in TCW. Newton is hungry for his first big win and comes out swinging, but Tornado is too experienced to get caught early. Newton still finds some success early and looks good out there, but Tornado weathers the storm and takes over as his experience comes into play After some more back and forth action, Tornado manages to hit the Star Maker for the win. Winner: Troy Tornado via pinfall in 10:24 61</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> THE MIGHTY AND THE BEHEMOTHS BRAWL The cameras pick up The Mighty and The Behemoths brawling in the back. It's a sight to behold as the four muscle mountains clock each other as hard as they can. Half the locker room is standing by, but no one has the courage to break up the fight. It takes the whole security personnel to stop the fighting. 74</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Danny Fonzarelli and Human Arsenal vs The Elite It's time for the co-main event. "Dr. Love" Danny Fonzarelli and his unlikely partner Human Arsenal go up against The Elite. The Elite have been going strong for the last couple of months, but they were beaten by The Mighty last week. Fonzarelli and Arsenal have had varying success lately, and they'll look to gain some momentum tonight. The Elite start off strong and show some great teamwork, but Fonzarelli and Arsenal manage to get in some great offense of their own. The match remains fairly competitive throughout, but an Ammo Dump from Arsenal is enough to win it for the unlikely duo. Winner: Danny Fonzarelli and Human Arsenal via pinfall in 14:24 with Arsenal pinning Chandler for the win 55</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> RDJ ANNOUNCES SUNDAY'S CARD We go backstage to Ricky Dale Johnson's office. It's time for the commissioner to announce the card for TCW's The War To Settle The Score. RDJ: This Sunday is going to be wild, folks. We'll see The Behemoths defend their titles against the team of Mighty Mo and Mighty Allen, and we'll also see Tana go one on one with Eddie Peak. Darryl Devine and Chance Fortune will hopefully settle their differences in the ring, as will Greg Gauge and One Man Army. After what I heard tonight I went ahead and booked Sammy Bach and Jay Chord in another match. And, of course, we'll see The Ace defend his belt against Joshua Taylor. Last but not least, we may even throw in another match. But now it's time for our main event! 86</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Aaron Andrews and One Man Army vs Joshua Taylor and Greg Gauge And what a main event it is. Two of this month's biggest feuds collide as Aaron Andrews and One Man Army face off against Joshua Taylor and Greg Gauge. We start things off with One Man Army and Greg Gauge, who'll try to hurt each other ahead of their match on Sunday. There is no feeling out process tonight, as both men come out swinging. OMA gets the upper hand early and – after a few hard hits – Gauge tags in Taylor. Taylor puts the pressure on OMA and gets him in the corner, where he hits him with some disturbingly loud chops. OMA wants no part of it and tags in Andrews. The match continues with a lot of hard-hitting action, and after a while Taylor and Gauge manage to wear down OMA. Taylor catches OMA with a Butterfly Lock and Gauge manages to stop Andrews from making the save. OMA has to tap. The bell is rung, but the action continues with Andrews going after Taylor and Gauge continuing to beat down OMA. This Sunday will be wild. Winner: Joshua Taylor and Greg Gauge via submission in 18:24 with Taylor submitting OMA for the win 80</div> SHOW RATING 80</div>

Thank you for the nomination for DOTM! I really wonder who goes through all the diarys and gives them one star ratings, though, haha. I'll have the show up in a couple of hours, so place your predictions if you haven't already.

I wouldn't worry too much after only a couple of months. It's pretty hard improving worker's popularity above 80 in general, especially as a medium company (if you are still at medium size). Plus, with 80 pop he should still be one of the ten most over wrestlers in the US. You could put Human Arsenal and One Man Army in an army themed tag team, for example. TCW can use a couple more teams at the start of the game. In my diary game, both are pretty deep into time decline, unfortunately, so I started pushing them down the card.

It's a nice touch that you are able to toggle which shows are displayed when lookin at "Show History". However, as someone who puts a lot of effort into booking A shows, but none at all into B shows (autobook everything, just to keep my lower card entertained), I'd like to be able to filter them out, as they are not "canon" in my mind.

Yeah, if the problem is just with the mod it's definitely nothing to do with your OS

That's strange. Do you have the same problems with the Cornellverse data? If so, could you list some of the errors (like ea£tm instead of ' )

It doesn't sound like a language problem in the narrower sense, but more like a character encoding problem (UTF-8, ISO...). What operating system are you using and what is your native language setting?

RDJ: Before I returned to TCW as its commissioner this January, I was known to fans as RDJ, the Fist Fighter from Texas. I've wrestled for this company for more than 20 years, and I've got to know the roster intimately. Many of the boys in the back have become like brothers to me, and they were the reason that I've committed myself to help this company in any way I could when I returned. This never meant that I would play favorites, of course. Nothing will be handed out for free, and all opportunities will be earned as long as I'm the sheriff around here. This is my promise to you, the fans. "RDJ" chants drown out the arena. RDJ: Unfortunately, some people in the back seem to have forgotten that booking decisions in this company were always meant to be based on merit. Since The Syndicate's return in 2018, Hawkins and his cronies have tried to bully themselves into the title picture. This culminated in last week's attack, when Hawkins tried to bully me into giving him a title shot. Unfortunately for him, I've never been known to back down from a fight. So let's settle this right now. Wolf! Get your ass down here! After a moment of suspense, Hawkins' music hits and he walks down the ramp among a chorus of jeers and boos. With a mic in hand, he enters the ring. Hawkins: The security guards behind you seem to contradict your tough guy act, Ricky. I'm here all by myself, so why don't we handle this like we used to. I'd love to retire your ass a second time. RDJ: You know, Wolf, for someone who prides himself on being a "businessman" you don't seem to be very business savvy. I'm not about to come out of retirement for you, and I also don't need to. As the commissioner of TCW, I'm here to tell you that, as of right now, you are suspended for the remainder of the month. Before Hawkins can reply he's being restrained by the security guards. He's shouting and kicking, but to no avail. The numbers are stacked against him. To the delight of the fans, Hawkins is escorted out of the arena. RDJ: As for the rest of The Syndicate: The Elite will have to go up against the newly formed team of Mighty Mo and Mighty Allen and Doc Hammond will have to go one on one with my good old pal Triple D. Any interference from the other members of The Syndicate will result in an immediate suspension. 97</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> The Mighty vs The Elite First up is the match between The Elite and The Mighty. The Elite come out visibly upset about what just happened. Mo and Allen come out to a big ovation from the crowd. From the opening bell, The Mighty look like the more dominant force. They are calm and collected and their teamwork looks like they've been teaming for years. Chandler and Johnson struggle to get any offense going and, while their teamwork gets better throughout the match, they have to focus on survival. A Running Powerslam from Allen on Johnson seals The Elite's fate. Winner: The Mighty via pinfall in 14:03 with Allen pinning Johnson for the win 71</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> TANA GETS DESTROYED While The Mighty are still celebrating in the ring, we see Killer Shark, Titan and Nick Booth from the Sinner Society beating down Tana The Mighty on the big screen. Allen and Mo run to the back, but when they arrive the attackers are already gone. 58</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Dazzling Dave Diamond vs Doc Hammond In the second match of the evening, Doc Hammond has to prove himself against "Triple D" Dazzling Dave Diamond. The Syndicate is banned from ringside. The match starts off with Diamond looking strong. His style of "bar room" fighting has made him a big favorite with the fans, and they're firmly in his corner. Hammond gets booed every time he gets in some offense. The fans seem to really hope that this night will continue to be a disaster for The Syndicate. Just as it looks like Triple D will be able to get a second straight win for the first time in a while, Hammond manages to apply the Texas Cloverleaf out of the blue. Winner: Doc Hammond via submission in 9:50 70</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> DEVINE AND FORTUNE BRAWL The camera cuts to the backstage area, where Darryl Devine and Chance Fortune are brawling. It looks like Devine Fortune is a thing of the past. 46</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Benny Benson vs Roderick Remus vs Marc Speed vs Ernest Youngman The third match of the night is a four-way tie between Benny Benson, Roderick Remus, Marc Speed and Ernest Youngman. Youngman has impressed in his first couple of weeks in TCW, but he's still looking for his first win since his debut. Speed, Remus and Benson have all been very inconsistent so far in 2020. They will be looking to get some momentum tonight. The match is very fast-paced and it looks like anyone could win at any moment. In the end it is Speed who manages to submit Remus for the win. Winner: Marc Speed via pinfall in 9:27 65</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> PEAK PERFORMANCE AT THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE? Backstage, Eddie Peak is standing by with a big grin. He's flanked by his stablemates who look as menacing as ever. Peak: So… The Mighty, huh? I shouldn't be surprised that you had to bring in outside help, Tana. You couldn't beat any one of us at this point, even on your best day. It's funny, really, you calling yourself The Mighty, when you lost your might years ago. How about you and me go one on one next Sunday? I can't wait to show you what true might looks like. 67</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> T-Bone Bright vs Joshua Taylor Next up, we have T-Bone Bright go one on one with the next man to challenge for the World title, Joshua Taylor. T-Bone has been pretty successful throughout the last months, and he'll be looking for his biggest win yet. The match is very entertaining, with a lot of back and forth action. It's evident that T-Bone has improved a lot. However, Taylor is one of the fiercest competitors in TCW, and he's a little too much too soon for T-Bone. Taylor submits T-Bone with a Butterfly Lock. Winner: Joshua Taylor via submission in 16:16 76</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> ANDREWS IS NOT IMPRESSED Taylor walks up the ramp when Aaron Andrews appears. The two men exchange some heated words, not all of which is picked up by the mics. We can clearly hear, though, that Andrews is not too impressed with Taylor's performance, and he seems to wish Taylor good luck in their upcoming match. 96</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> Sammy Bach vs Freddy Huggins It's time for the main event of the evening. Sammy Bach, who has yet to accept Chord's challenge for a rematch, goes up against Freddy Huggins. Both men have a lot of momentum on their sides, and it will be interesting to see whether Huggins will be able to prevail against a bonafide main eventer. The match is great, with a lot of action and some flashy moves. Both men look to be close to victory on several occasions. In the end, Sammy Bach manages to overcome his opponents' offense. He wins the match by submission. Winner: Sammy Bach via submission in 15:58 79</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #e5e5e5; max-width:100%;box-shadow: 0 3px 12px ";"> CHORD LAYS OUT BACH While still celebrating, Bach is blindsided by Jay Chord, who somehow snuck into the ring without anyone noticing. No one is surprised to see Chord, of course, as this feud is far from over. Chord lets his fists fly and hits Bach with a Super DDT. He stands tall as the camera goes to black. 85</div> SHOW RATING 85</div>

Seeing more and more workers with weird skills pop up in the game world.

It's very counterintuitive that broadcasters will offer you the same time slot for an A and a B show but expect wildly different ratings. Trying to negotiate with ACE, they would require a minimum show rating of 88 for a Late Evening slot (which sound prohibitively high), but only a 22 for a B show (also Late Evening). That's quite strange. It would be much more intuitive if expected quality is only influenced by time slot, and you'd therefore wouldn't get a good time slot on a big network for a B show (or you'd struggle meeting the expectations).

show will be up later tonight :-)

This post deserves an award. Seriously, thank you so much for your well laid out and sensible thoughts. This would solve a lot of problems, some of which I haven't even thought of until now. The three biggest takeaways that I *really* hope can be fixed in this iteration of the game: - Have show ratings be contextual: As has been said, it's very unrealistic that workers who have no pop in a foreign region can still produce a match that is an instant classic in said region. - Stop companies from dominating foreign countries: The EILL/SOTBPW problem has been around for a while and I wholeheartedly agree that it is very annoying. Looking at the cultural differences, there is just no way that AAA/CMLL would ever be bigger than the WWE in the States. No way. Ever. - Have pop decay at least for regions where a company is very popular: I think it's very easy IRL for a big company to gain *some* popularity throughout the world (I live in Europe and am very aware of all the big companies in the US and Japan), but there is no way that any company will ever become a cultural phenomenon in regions where they ae not present.

Man, this is completely bonkers. I hope that this gets a MAJOR overhaul.

Agreeing with everything except point 5. No need to have a game reflect the worst of society.

I've bought the game, but still hold out hope for the following: - More difficult finances for C-Verse companies - Less absurd stats for generated workers - Bigger ratings, better skill view, easier to see improvements - more independent shows

It's never too late ;-)

You can't compare the two. In WMMA a show would take much more time (if you didn't circumvent the play-by-play). Also, there was nothing to be learned from the actual show output (e.g., no road agent notes).

Look around in the diary section of the boards for some inspiration. I had Wolf and Aaron go to a draw at Malice, after which Wolf snapped and got roadblock after roadblock thrown at him before he could get back into the title picture.

Stuff like this is almost always a mod problem
