This is about 97% tag matches. He and Andre Jones have the belts right now.</p>

Primus's push is going well, and he's poised to take the National title soon.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Well, Marat re-signed. I gave him three years even though I didn't really want to, but he did agree to Special Attraction status. </p><p> </p><p> We're in February 2017 now. We bought out MAW last month to save it from bankruptcy (I imagine Peter Michaels sold Packer on it.)</p>

I never played CGC in previous iterations...but I just started a new game as new head booker Peter Michaels.
I am curious how others book the DeColt WrestleFesitval. Do you have some sort of 2-day tourny? Do you create an event night 1 that the winner gets a title shot on night 2?
I can't seem to wrap my head around how you promote 2 night's of Pay Per View back to back. It would seem to me that everything would get blown off night 1 leaving nothing for night 2 or any thing that happens on night 1 that would create a match on night 2 wouldn't leave any time for promotion....
I think it being in March/April and it being the flagship event hurts you a little in planning for that first year, for starters. I know when I played them in 2013, I felt a lot better about my second WrestleFestival because I had more long-term stories ready to resolve.
That said, you can pretty much do whatever you want. You have a few starting storylines you can end on either night if you want. You can do a contender's match on Day 1 and have the title match on Day 2. And you can always have guys cut promos on Day 2 for stuff that night.

<p>Well, looks like the Hardys are gone:</p><p> </p><p>
<a href="http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/809957-breaking-news-the-hardys-not-re-signing-with-tna-backstage-news-on-matt-and-jeff-feeling-disrespected-by-tna-officials-their-tv-future-and-more" rel="external nofollow">http://www.wrestlezone.com/news/809957-breaking-news-the-hardys-not-re-signing-with-tna-backstage-news-on-matt-and-jeff-feeling-disrespected-by-tna-officials-their-tv-future-and-more</a></p><p> </p><p>
"Sources are reporting The Hardys agreed to terms on a new TNA deal back in December, but requested a few minor changes, and were simply waiting for the finalized offer.</p><p> </p><p>
The deal was supposed to be for 1-year, but weeks and weeks passed, with Matt constantly checking in, but they were consistently given the run around.</p><p> </p><p>
Eventually Matt and Jeff’s lawyer informed Impact Wrestling officials that they wanted a creative control clause written into their new deals, but that was shot down immediately. One source claims the Hardy’s lawyer told Ed Nordholm of Anthem Sports & Entertainment there was interest from other companies and he responded by saying, “Well, tell them to go to WWE then.”</p><p> </p><p>
This set Jeff Hardy off, who at that point said he was no longer interested in re-signing. Matt continued talks, but when they sent a new contract last week it was now a 2-year deal and terms had been snuck in which stated they’d receive 10% of all his profits outside of Impact.</p><p> </p><p>
Matt’s lawyer said he’d be a fool to sign, so he informed the company he wasn’t interested in doing so, but would still come to the tapings to write off his characters. However, he was told he was crazy to think they’d want him on TV without a contact.</p><p> </p><p>
Impact Wrestling officials are reportedly trying to get their tag titles back."</p><p> </p><p>
And Matt just sent a series of tweets confirming his departure. Their hottest act in years, gone. Someone pull the plug.</p>

USPW, October 2016:
Born In The USA! has just ended, and we're on our way to Thanksgiving Thunder and the impending brand split.
World champion Steve Frehley saw off the second challenge from Rick Law for his title. Their first match ended in controversy after Danny Jillefski turned heel and cost Law the win. Jillefski's erratic decisions as USPW Commissioner had been called out by Dawn Gemmell, Law's former manager (she resigned that post so Law wouldn't be directly affected by her questioning Jillefski's authority -- how'd that work out, Dawn?), and their dispute will end with Dawn getting her own brand and show. This particular part of the program was setting Law up as the No. 1 face for what will become Dawn's "National" brand (Unnamed show on Monday nights. The "American" brand is USPW American Wrestling, the Wednesday show.)
At TT, Frehley will defend against Nicky Champion and Marat Khoklov, who fought to a double countout at Born In The USA. Khoklov arrived in late February, joined forces with the Cold Warriors, and targeted Champion immediately. After getting backup from Law for a while, Champion and Khoklov finally faced off 1-on-1 at Independence Day Slam, with Champion winning. Khoklov spent the next few months chasing a rematch and got it.
As far as the split goes, I'm planning a 5v5 Survivor Series-style match with Jillefski and Dawn picking teams, and the winning team will get the first overall draft pick. There will also be a women's 5v5 match, and the entire women's division will go to the winning captain's show.
Nadia Snow returned to USPW and immediately targeted Alicia Strong, blaming Alicia for her departure the first time. Melody got pulled into the fray and lost and regained the Women's title (to/from Alicia) before Nadia won a four-way for the belt at Born In The USA that also included Raquel Alvarado. Nadia has a clean win over Alicia at IDS, and Alicia got it back a couple of weeks ago on TV. They'll break the tie in a 2/3 falls match at TT.
Joss Thompson is my current TV champ, but that wasn't the plan. A match notes mistake caused Krusher Karloff to lose the belt to James Justice (?) on TV. So I had Joss win it in a Triple Threat match against Justice and Tyson Baine. Thompson's storyline has been him targeting all of USPW's longtime veterans, who he calls "talentless" and blames for him having to go to Britain for more than a decade "where my skills are actually appreciated."
Thompson's push is one of my owner goals, along with pushes for Casey Valentine and Jumbo Jackson. For this to work, someone had to turn face and I picked Jumbo because so many of USPW's hosses are heels. He won the National title before he turned, and he's my second-longest reigning champion after Frehley. I've slowed down Casey's push for now, but both of these guys are going to be major players on the National brand.
SWF outbid us for Rocky Golden, but not for Sammy Bach. (They also just lost Remo to SOTBPW and have added Eddie Peak.) Bach's impending arrival ticked off Trent Shaffer, who hates sharing the spotlight. Bach beat Shaffer in his in-ring debut at United States of Pain!, but this feud isn't settled, either.
The tag division's gotten an overhaul and the belts have been moving. I've signed American Demolition (Bulldozer Brandon Smith & Findlay O'Farraday), The Rock City Stars, The Ring Generals and The Dirty White Boys, and created The Money Players (Andre Jones & Julius Moor) and All-American Perfection (Nelson Callum & Kip Keenan). Petr Novak got popped for roids (because of course he did) on my first show, so The Cold Warriors dropped the belts to Natural Storm a week later. American Demolition won the titles in April, but lost to The Towers of Power at IDS, who only held them for a month before losing them to the Dirty White Boys, who just successfully defended in a return match.
Opened a development fed, Legacy Pro Wrestling. Notable names include Ross Henry, Philippe LaGrenier, Logan Wolfsbaine and inaugural champion Hustle Muvva (renamed Jamal Byrnes.)

Two signings I would suggest are Seth Whitehead and Gidayu Kitou. Both are cheap, very much in line with MAW's product, and are relatively talented enough to be built into something.
Ha! I just signed both of these guys yesterday. (TCW finally came for Greg in October.) Note that Kitou doesn't speak English, only Japanese.

I tried to make the show 4 hours that they run but it ends up being like 4 matches and that's it which seems weird for a 4 hour show. I was thinking about just doing a brand split and having the development guys have their own B show so its basically a development brand but they will have an actual TV show and I would just use the auto booker for the development brand. Do you guys think that's a good idea or no?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Your developmental show was 4 hours? <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> As for your question, I'm not sure you necessarily need to do a brand split for what you want to do. (And unless you signed 20 guys from the indies/street, TCW's roster's not really big enough to do it.) I think your best bet is to just run a B-show with the younger/newer guys and a few veterans around for them to learn from.</p>

Anyone else think this MAW roster just... isn't up to its own standards?
The four best guys, I think, are Gauge, Remus, Jones and Collier. And only Gauge seems like he can get to the level of a Jay Chord or even Vessey or Valentine. There's a lot of guys that don't fit what they seem to want to do in the ring. I feel like it was inevitable, but MAW seems to have a lot more "projects" than "prospects" this time around.
+1 to adding Wolfsbaine, who's already getting props from my own roster.

Just to add on to the WTFness of all this - and reading some of the feedback on the Observer site reminded me - isn't Jeff Hardy still facing some fairly serious legal issues?
