Eisen-verse

CLICK HERE TO READ SWF "RISE"

Yes!! Thank you, King!

You all know better than I do; so, I thought I would ask this here. Do you know if there is a new Charger Siaki render out there? He's set to get a push on SWF RISE in my game.

He has great ability/look but he is lacking due to the fact that he can't talk. The Cornellverse is severely lacking in legit managers; so, I don't have someone who can step in and speak for him. If I can find that, that may help in this process. </p><p> </p><p> As touched upon earlier, I do have a version of Lau that I do want to tell.

I'm not really good about balancing home & work; so, I find myself overworking at times. This can lead to burnout pretty quickly.

Now, I just need to write it (which won't take long at all -- as it is more of a recap-style). I'm still trying to decide if I want to keep Lucha Suprema as an active part of this diary or just book it for myself (and not really focus on it here). We'll see.</p>

Thank you!</p>

<p>Has anyone ever created a new render for <em><strong>Gary the Entertainer</strong></em>? I'm not a fan of the chimp sidekick scenario (in the render that I have). Instead, I want for him to look a little more normal. </p><p> </p><p> He's not menacing at all, and doesn't have an overly amazing 'star quality look.' That said, I want to play him as a comedy-based character; potentially playing a 'fans own' wrestler who doesn't look to really understand what he's doing (instead, getting lucky at times).</p>

This is our 9th ranking, so far! We've worked our way into a pretty strong top 3 (with a number of people just outside of that). You need to predict on 75% of the matches in which to be viable for the 'top 3' by the end of all of this (right now that would be around 38 matches predicted). I will work with those who do predict quite a bit but maybe miss the cut off %. You may not be able to have the same reward as others but we can work something out. <hr> Thank you to those of you who have taken the quick GDS/SWF Market Research Survey! You input is extremely valuable and I've already started to reflect upon what I've read thus far. While I will cover those thoughts just below, I first wanted to say "thank you" & ask others to take the survey (if you frequent this thread). All in all, your views are helping me shape my process going forward. Less Time to Write - Longer Wait Times for Shows Yea, I can't really get around this one. As a teacher, I am consistently busy to the level of extreme exhaustion. Whether it's lesson planning, developing assessments, emailing with parents, and/or inputting and analyzing data, my time is pretty dedicated to my process as a teacher. That said, I also really love writing stories. My shows will take longer to get onto your computer screens (versus other projects on the board) and that's something I have to live with. I'm no longer in my 20s, working a 9-5 with no work to do at home. I now have to evolve in which to still enjoy my hobbies (GDS/TEW) but also know that I'm an educator and a family man. I see my 'longer wait times' in the vein of a good comic book series. Sure, you may need to wait longer for the next installment but you know, once you get it, that it's going to be delivering top notch entertainment. I'm not saying that I'm some amazing creator of content. I'm more so saying that, whatever I put out there, I've done a lot of work to make sure it's a quality product (i.e. booking with overarching storylines, looking for character development over time, and creating a 'show' via Google Slides that 'pops'). Ultimately, if you can put up with the longer wait times, you'll ultimately get the same kind of production I've been doing up until now. Lucha Suprema Will Become One Page I know this may not be fun for everyone, as some have really enjoyed Lucha Suprema thus far, but I'm going to have to make LS a 'match/angle results' post. This will cut down on a little of the 'outside scenarios' that may slow down production. I've thought about cutting the show altogether from my results (still booking it in-game but not really showing it on here) but I thought some may not be happy about that. Not really sure. RISE Will Still Have the New Layout RISE is important, as it is the future of the SWF. With this in mind, the results will remain the same. It's shorter than SupremeTV but gives the show its own feel (and allows me to focus on the next crop of wrestlers coming up the ranks). Nobody Likes Eric Eisen Yea... I know. I get it. Thing is, if the Cornellverse was the 'real world', do you really think Eric Eisen would just walk into the background because the fans don't like him? Honestly, I see him as a permanent fixture of the company and the entertainment-side of what they produce. This new wrinkle (bringing Scythe to the SWF) gives him some new range but will also mean some more challenging times ahead (for whatever reason -- no spoilers). While I would love to appease everyone and 'kick Eric to the curb', I just don't see that happening in the long run. Short spurts where he's gone? Yea. A story that puts him off TV for a month or two? Sure. Completely gone and out of sight? Probably not going to happen. Undeniable is Popular I thought this would be the case - "Young, Fresh blood coming up the ranks." It doesn't really change my trajectory with them (as they were already ascending before all of this). Starr has the North American Championship now, Spencer Spade is getting a 'spotlight' moment with Z-Dub, and Mainstream Hernandez is butting-heads with Valiant. If anything, these three are going to continue to get their 'moments in the sun' for quite some time. Will they ALWAYS stand together? Who knows. That remains to be seen.

With my time limited due to teaching, I wanted to reach out to you and see what your overall thoughts about the entertainment value of this project. This will help guide me in whatever direction I go next; giving me more insight as to what you're interested in. The survey should take you no more than 5 minutes (if that). Thank you! "SWF: The Evolution of Supreme" Market Research Survey

Exactly. We don't need much more of a backstory between these two. At this point, ATOMIC is seen as the "People's Choice" (put into the position of being #1 contender last month and now bridging into this month). Meanwhile, Remo is the "Corporate Champion." From there, you have, as you said, the 'old school' vibe of two powerhouses slamming into one another; looking to see who the alpha male is. Super bummer. I was planning on having these two go at it throughout most of 2020. Now, I have to change those plans. I think, at this point, it's about convenience. He's not necessarily a "I walk alone" kind of figure. He's just a hardened veteran who is frustrated with everything going on in the industry today. With the Supremacists, he can keep his platform while also having an easier go at it (having the leaders of the company at his side). Ekuma as the champion is going to make for some great backstage moments... Working with Scythe is a theoretical game of Russian Roulette... as we'll find.

Thank you! Yea, I'm hoping to use RISE as a place for our RIPW wrestlers to get some quality TV time. I'm thinking about bringing them up to the main roster and creating a 3rd brand (along with SWF and Lucha Suprema); so, I can have more influence over their... well... rise.

True, I’ll fix that.

This is our 8th ranking, so far! We've worked our way into a pretty strong top 3 (with a number of people just outside of that). You need to predict on 75% of the matches in which to be viable for the 'top 3' by the end of all of this (right now that would be around 33 matches predicted). I will work with those who do predict quite a bit but maybe miss the cut off %. You may not be able to have the same reward as others but we can work something out. Totally understand! This time of the year is quite a process. ha I purposely moved Rocky Golden away from the WHC in which to A) put a focus on his obsession with Scythe and B) give Remo room to "breathe" as the champion. This, as you said, is the first time he's really addressed losing the title since he did so (a few months ago, in-game). This allows us to see that Rocky, while obsessed with Scythe, is starting to realize the reality of the situation as well. Will he be the hero that forces the Supremacists to fall apart? That remains to be seen. That said, you can BET that he and Eric/Emma will have some choice words over the next few months; leading into "Supreme Challenge." I could totally see those pairings. To me, Rocky Golden has more grit than John Cena. He's a rugged, Roadhouse-like brawler who screams "back road", All-American tough guy. That said, I could see your classifications as it pertains to where these guys are on the card (or where they could be going). Bret Starr was lagging before from an in-game pop perspective. It was the one thing holding him back. After beating Des Davids, he skyrocketed up and, knowing this, there is VERY little that will get in the way of his rise. Could we see a Remo vs. Golden vs. Starr main event at some point? I would not be shocked to see it. Plus, that would be one HELL of a story to write. I'm really excited to see how ATOMIC flourishes this month. Going toe-to-toe with Remo and the Supremacists should give ATOMIC the ability to grow from an in-game perspective (popularity) and character-wise (how he's written). If this goes right, we could have a legit #2 babyface (behind Rocky Golden) with the "Radioactive Wrecking Machine!"

Has anyone created a recent Akima Brave? The original render, while great for the time, leaves me wanting more.

I have been away for a few days and, in doing so, have not updated the thread. This was done on purpose as A) I wanted to have a 're-charge moment', B) I am a teacher and school is back in session, and C) I am re-designing SWF RISE. The latter is providing the greatest amount of 'time-off' as I want to pursue a new avenue with RISE. RISE will now provide more information about the shows (i.e. limited match write-ups, angle recaps, performances of each wrestler, and slight commentary). My reasoning for such is that I want to place an emphasis on the 'next wave' of Supreme Superstars -- ala NXT. I plan to pull competitors from RIPW and, in the next few weeks (game-wise), will bring them up and create a 3rd brand (opposite the SWF & Lucha Suprema). I really want to give RISE its own identity and I feel this is how best to do it. That said, it's going to take a little bit of time to formulate; so, I like the look & feel of it. Thank you, smw! You SHOULD... jk
