This may be the worst show of all time.

I've just gotten CZCW to Medium size and I seem to have hit the cap of WrestleWorld's reach. I have less than a year on both deals (6 months for TV; 10 for events) but should I prioritize one over the other?

Having done this, I agree with the others. A round robin gets you more potential for stories down the road. But what I do is four groups of four -- two groups wrestle on one tour show, the other two the next show, and so on. The group winners meet in an elimination semifinal and finals at the BOTSJ, and the final is always the main event. I also give the junior tag champs a defense and fill out the rest of the card with whatever.

The NEO split in Burning Hammer ended and things went absolutely nuts afterwards: NEO-X Heihachiro Sakai (leader), Atsumori Takemura (deputy), Sensational Dragon (deputy), Rebel Run X (Jin Miyamoto & Hijo del Relampago), Michio Gensai, Ryushi Sato, Yasuhiko Taira (support) Most of the original group is back under the NEO-X banner. Taira was the leader until his in-ring skills fell off a cliff, and he was taken down by his old partner Masuno at Night of the Burning Hammer 2023. Sakai ascended to the leadership (and is world champion as of February 2025), with Takemura and SenDrag as his seconds. But there's been some bubbling tension between leader and chief deputy. Those familiar with the NEO split in TEW 2016 will notice quite a few names missing: American Revolt Matthew Keith (leader), KC Glenn (Deputy), William Hayes (deputy), The Ring Generals (Dean Waldorf & Marv Statler), Reaver, Giant Brody (currently in rehab), Rob Reynolds, Leftie Wilkes, Andre Jones, Duke Freeman (both pending) Keith blamed his former partner Tatsuya Toshitara for being left out of the NEO reunification. So he turned on him and formed an all-American group, which eventually propelled him to the world title. Glenn dropped the "Helikaon" moniker and won two more Junior titles under his real name before getting injured at The Burning Path 2025. GuiltyKill Toshitara (leader), Brute Kikuchi, Taro Shionoya, Black Iron Corps (Fujio Narahasi & Azumamaro Kita), Chomei Sugiyama After being betrayed by NEO-X and Keith, Toshitara tried to form an alliance with Hiroaki Nakasawa, but it never got off the ground because of his bitterness and anger. So after fighting Nakasawa, he assembled his own group of tough, underutilized, technically-oriented men. (That is their contrast to Senmatsu-gun, who are mostly outsider, rule-breaking brawlers) There's something missing here, IMO -- the group's been mostly an afterthought. Line in the Sand Elemental III (leader), MYSTIC Dragon, Tanyu Toshusai, TomoYuno (Tomonaga & Yunokawa) Seeing all of this, Nakasawa and Elemental III gathered some of Burning Hammer's true born and banded together to deal with the new threats. Nakasawa left the company in some disgrace after a social media scandal, leaving the others scouting for like-minded loyalists to aid their cause. Though Toshusai isn't a true "true born", he is the nephew of an all-time Burning Hammer great. Nakasawa became a backstage mentor to Takemura, and even tried to recruit him to the group, perhaps knowing that he would chafe if Sakai was named the new leader. That situation will resolve with Takemura eventually leaving NEO-X and taking over the leadership here. Slaughterhouse Kinnojo Horri (leader), Yasunobu Masuno (leader), Hirokumi Saito, Marihito Masuko, Avalanche Takano, Haranobu Kobayashi, Prometheus Described as "a bit of a bust", that changed when Horri, who was part of the now-defunct NEO Prime, joined in 2023 during his sixth and final world title reign. Being co-leaders with Masuno has been surprisingly harmonious so far. Takano and Kobayashi were brought in for some much-needed youth. Senmatsu-gun Munemitsu Senmatsu (leader), Ieyoshi Shimakage (deputy), Gonkuro Kamioka, Kazunori Yamura, Toju Munkata, Chaos Khan, Eikichi Itou Not a lot about Senmatsu-gun's methods has changed. They have ruled over both tag divisions in the past (Senmatsu and Shimakage are the current heavyweight tag champs), but Yamura missed a year due to injury and came back as a middleweight, bringing PUNK Nasty Club to an unexpected end, or at least an extended hiatus. Itou is another former WEXXV wrestler. The New Golden Army SUKI (leader), Lion & Eagle (Lion Genji & Eagle Kawasawa), Namboku Makuda, Mabuchi Furusawa, Ichiro Mitsukuri, Koyo Kinoshita, Ryobe Uno Was revived in mid-2023 under SUKI's leadership. Makuda is the only member of the original group here. They continue to bring in the last of the GCG wrestlers. Furusawa and Toshusai had a legendary tag team run before splitting to join their respective stables. Potential future stables: ROYALE: Planning to base this one around Shogun Watoga and Big Boss Emperor. Unnamed SATO/Kiyotaka group, since the auto-booker likes pairing these two and Murai Enomoto together. A lot of the juniors remain unaffiliated, which is something I have to fix. There are also a lot of young heavyweights coming that need homes and people to affiliate and train with. But it's not the easiest thing to put people in the right group.

February 2025 CZCW: Coastal Zone Championship: Juliet Balconi (defeated Jay Becker at Christmas Cage Chaos for the vacant title after Jonnie Perez was injured; is also QAW World champion) Coastal Zone Tag Team: The Heartbreak Express (defeated American Flash & Roger Monteiro at Revolution 2025) Coastal Zone Xtreme: Disturbed (defeated Becker, Balconi, and Simon Waves at Showdown at Sundown. Becker was the previous champion, and his title gimmick was always defending in multi-man matches, since he won the title in one) COTT: COTT World Heavyweight: Guerrero Muerto (defeated Jonnie Perez at OLLIE El Dia Nacional de Lucha) COTT World Tag Team: Duece Deadline & Copperhead (defeated The Beach Boys at MAW The Night of the Champions) COTT Women's: Katya Kornishkova (2) (defeated Emma May at ACPW Classic Wrestling Showcase, November Week 2) BHOTWG: Burning World Championship: Heihachiro Sakai (defeated Matthew Keith at Night of the Burning Hammer) Burning Junior Championship: Vacant (KC Glenn was injured during his defense against Mercury at The Burning Path) Burning World Tag Team Championship: Munemitsu Senmatsu & Ieyoshi Shimakage (defeated Lion Genji & Eagle Kawasawa at Sword of Destiny) Burning Junior Tag Team Championship: Akio & Emerald Angel (defeated Rebel Run X at Silencing Dragons) BHOTWG Japan: Tanyu Toshusai (defeated Avalanche Takano at Inferno of Purity) Best of the Super Juniors 2024: KC Glenn (2) (defeated MYSTIC Dragon in the final) King of Fighters 2025: Senmatsu (defeated Keith in the final)

If you click on "NEWS" on the right-hand sidebar, you get that display. Then you can filter stories by type, worker, company, etc.

Well, that's an interesting random name.

I just looked again and no, you can't do it.

You mean the in-game editor? Not that I can see, no.

That feels like a "Get out of my courtroom, all of you" settlement.

One of the greatest COTT World Heavyweight Championship reigns has come to an end... You wouldn't have thought that to be the case when Jonnie Perez beat Cali Slick for the title on an October 2023 episode of CZCW Coast To Coast. The show was taped back then, and Slick hadn't defended the title in three months. After Jonnie won it, he went to New York to defend it two weeks later. That should have been a sign. Perez defended the title three times in October alone. He racked up a record 25 defenses over his 11 month reign. He was in the main event on seven occasions (five in MAW including the 2024 RCI, once in ACPW, and once in IPW) His most frequent challengers were Kenny Callaway and Guerrero Muerto, both of whom he defended against three times. He had one four-way match in ACPW and two three-way matches, both in IPW. Guerrero Muerto was the one who would eventually end Perez's reign, defeating him at OLLIE's El Dia Nacional de Lucha show. That match was also the best one of his run, scoring a 77 rating. And for the last four months of his reign he was also (and still is) the Coastal Zone Champion, winning it from a departing El Jaguar at Surf Slam in June.

@eayragt I mostly agree with the others. 11's unreadable on the dark theme. I can see 5 and 24 but I wouldn't use either one. 4 and 10 are fine, but 4 is the better of those two.

I see you've started. The closest I can come up with is maybe the early days of TBS when it was just in the Southeast, but it's its own channel, not affiliated with a network.

-Pop! felt like an even younger-skewing Spike TV (now Paramount Network), but that wouldn't really fit it now. Maybe the CW or Freeform? -America Sports 1: Either TBS or TNT -USA Sports 1 is likely ESPN, yes. -Maple Leaf Sports is TSN

Did the random draw for the 2024 BHOTWG Best of the Super Juniors, which consisted of me rolling a four-sided die a bunch of times. Here's what we've got: Block A: Elemental III, Sensational Dragon, Marihito Masuko, Toju Munkata The "Legends" group. EIII (4), SenDrag (7) and Masuko (3) have won this tournament a combined 14 times. Munkata's been running solo for most of the past year since his PUNK Nasty Club partner, Kazunori Yamura, has been out with a spinal injury. Block B: Totoya Munakata, Hijo del Relampago (Junior Tag Team Champion), Reijiro Hiraki, Little Dragon The "I never rolled a 2 during this entire exercise and these guys were all left after the other groups had been filled" group. Munakata and Hachigoro Maeda just lost the Junior Tag titles to Rebel Run X. I think I might like the idea of a complete dark horse making the final four. Block C: MYSTIC Dragon (Junior Champion), Kaoru Shibasawa, Mercury, Rob Reynolds The "tougher than you might think" group. MYSTIC won last year, ending SenDrag's run of four straight. I picked Reynolds instead of Reaver to represent American Revolt because the latter is 45 and probably needs to start getting phased out. Block D: Akio, Akihiro Hisato, Chomei Sugiyama, KC Glenn The "All Wildcards" group. Akio is Almost There. Hisato's kid, the youngest entrant at 22, has his dad's skills and smoothness (and thankfully not his attitude). Sugiyama's a talented dude who I'm struggling to get over. But the big story here is Glenn's "surprising" return. After doing some research and realizing that he was going to die on the vine in CWA because he's not over in Canada and would never be booked as a result, I edited his contract to get him back. If you're thinking, "Someone big is missing," it's Emerald Angel, who is also injured. I will be much less hands-on in booking winners than I was for King of Fighters, since there were specific things I needed to happen (and not happen) in that tourney.
