Jaded

As ever, so many great renders here - loving your AI stuff, @EdJames! Valiant is definitely one of my favourites so far; also really loved Monty Trescarde, Edd Stone and Dazzling Dave Diamond. John Greed turned out looking fantastic, too!

Sorry, haven't been around for ages - @Mammoth, thanks for the heads up on how to fix the links! Should be done now.

If I can get a request, would be awesome! Company: Marvelous Maryland Mayhem Style: Tiny fed with stunt show product, basically think (barely) glorified backyard wrestling and a bunch of guys and girls just throwing themselves at each other with no regard for the safety of anyone involved. Logo - thinking something with three Ms, a big one, a smaller one inside it, and an even smaller one inside that. Black and silver as the colors. Kinda sleek/futuristic looking, probably more so than you'd expect from a fed this tiny. (I'm really bad at explaining what I'm picturing, so if that doesn't make sense or you think it'll look terrible, totally happy for a different spin!) Banner - Whatever you think goes well with the logo. Titles - MMM Maryland title - The company's biggest belt. MMM Tag titles MMM Anywhere title - defended solely in falls-count-anywhere matches. Thanks in advance!

Was doing really well but screwed up my finances and went bust after 18 months or so. New attempt sees me try with NYK as a telenovela-based fed. I'll upload pictures when I get a chance, but highlights of first couple of years. First year is based around my user character, Glamorous Gianna, and Suki Flash (daughter of Steve) feuding with Miss Havana and Gallant Sugawara, on excursion from Japan. It should have been Gianna and Lacey Montgomery, who had great chemistry together, but Kaylie Vegas managed to injure Lacey, giving her a semi-severed spinal column, and botched surgery only made it worse. Got my first 50+ show right at the end of the year, Flash's promo carrying me to a 52, and that and the year-end roll gave me Flavor of the Month and Hot New Catchphrase. The plan for 2023 was meant to be job out Havana and Sugawara, who were getting increasingly obnoxious backstage, and focus around Gianna, Flash, and the newly-signed Blaze, but Havana kept pulling out better matches than ever expected, while Sinda Sarai - signed to be a jobber for a few cards - won over the fans and absolutely exploded in popularity. October saw Sarai win the NYK Queen of New York title, just a month after Miss Havana had become the inaugural champion in a tournament. The card in which Sarai won got us up to Tiny, but also saw a huge change, as the friendship/rivalry between Flash and Gianna finally exploded. Lacey - now retired from in-ring competition due to the injury - had just returned as Gianna's manager, and Flash's jealousy led to her swearing she'd wipe out Gianna, Lacey, and the other NYK originals. To do this, she enlisted Jewel Diamond, Talia 'Pharaoh' Neema, and a rotating cast of hypnotized henchwomen, controlled by Talia, as we leaned heavily into the sillier side of telenovelas. Oh, and tiny roll got me +17 athleticism and +3 toughness. However, after just two months of this, it was time for a new challenge for Gianna. While - inexplicably - Giant Redwood was seen as a better fit for Zen: Boston than my user character, Warrior Queens 2020 saw her worth, and she headed off to start 2024 in Japan. A staggeringly unsafe, inexperienced worker, who only speaks English, in a Japanese fed where the fans appear to think that if blood is covering less than half your face, you're not even trying. What could go wrong?! (Year end roll gave Hot New Move, btw.)

Okay, messed that up. Starting again, but this time doing the 750 point split for the character. Same name and background, but have changed her to be good at comedy gimmicks now. Glamorous Gianna v2.

Haven't played for months, but I'm going to give the RTG Challenge a go as I explore lavelleuk's awesome Alt-Cverse2022 mod! UC is Glamorous Gianna, head booker of Pee-Wee Germaine's New York Knockouts fed, which is based on GLOW. She was created via the second, quick create, method.

Oh, awesome that this is out - I remember being blown away by the amazing work you did for the 2018 version! Can't wait to give this a try.

WHOA will return, and take over the world again after slipping a tiny bit last time.

FINALLY, the defending champ has come back to the DMC!! (Yes, I'm in)

Cody’s promo was the worst 5 minutes of a wrestling show I’ve seen in ages, and soured me massively on the show as a whole. I really hope this is building up to Ogogo putting him out for a while and him taking 6 months off as paternity leave/to sell the injury because he’s absolutely the thing I get the most bored by in a fed I usually really like.

Yeah, Eddie saved that angle and I'm not sure more than a couple of people could have done that - just an incredible promo. Some cool stuff on Dark/Elevation this week - really enjoyed Acclaimed vs Sonny/Joey, Mox and Eddie had a quick squash win, loved Eddie's promo, and always fun to see Pretty Picture get a backstage segment. Plus, Julia Hart added to the Varsity Blonds is a nice grouping, always fun to see Britt, Leyla and Tay in action, and I actually thought the Ethan/Scorpio promo was pretty decent. Elevation's backstage stuff was good overall - Thunder and Britt always deliver, and I liked the Danny Limelight sit-down with Paul Wight, as well. Are Danny and Madi All Elite now? I'm assuming the sit-down is a good sign, and she's got an entrance video now which I don't think that many of the non-roster people on Dark/Elevation have? (Or maybe a bunch do and I'm just bad at noticing it!) Super-excited for tonight, really hoping we're going for OC/Omega at the PPV, but PAC/Omega and presumably Orange against maybe Penta is a hell of a good 'worst case' scenario.

<p>Really enjoyed that - I don't think Hangman was really hurt by the loss, given he was jumped pre-match, and hopefully that means they're holding off him vs Omega for a little longer. Miro looked awesome destroying Kip, main event was great, Orange/Penta ruled, and that Pinnacle/Inner Circle parley was fantastic. (Well, except for Shawn Spears, but you can't have EVERYTHING, I guess.) And Mox/Kingston threatening to destroy Kenny's ankle was superb, even if it does lead to a match involving Nakazawa.</p><p> </p><p> 10 giving the show of respect to Darby after him trying to claw his mask off was a little weird, but I think it's partly recognition that the title is something people really want. Darby will do whatever it takes to keep it - he's been wrestling fairly heelishly recently - while Preston looked confused about what happened when Page attacked Darby, but seemed to find out from the Dark Order and then try to take advantage of that. I guess they're both willing to push for any advantage, but then show respect post-match.</p>

Last night's Elevation was really to my tastes - great profile on Leyla, tag match for her and Ryo, matches for 3/4 of Best Friends, and a fun backstage segment for JD Drake and the rest of his crew. Definitely feels like they're moving away from being quite so heavily-focused and letting people show their character outside of the ring more (there were also Reynolds/Five and Scorpio/Ethan Page promos as well.)

Ahhhh thank you!

<p>Finally started a game after running a bunch of tests for the draft challenge. Looks awesome, and I know from the tests that things sim out really well! Excited to properly get to grips with it.</p><p> </p><p> One thing I noticed - AEW's first 3 PPVs of the year are all set as season finales, pretty sure having more than 1 in the space of 12 months will penalize the second and third.</p><p> </p><p> Other AEW stuff, since they're the promotion I watch most - as someone else said, JD Drake could do with a PPA, and maybe add Cezar Bononi/JD Drake/Peter Avalon/Ryan Nemeth as a stable? They're doing a fair amount of stuff together, although mostly on Dark/Elevation. (Avalon is injured so it's been just the other three in recent weeks, but judging from his tweets he's likely to be back with them when he recovers, I think?) Not 100% sure this is accurate as I've been watching about 5 months and don't think I've seen her on TV, but Wiki says Leva Bates slapped Avalon at some point and turned face.</p><p> </p><p> Not sure if this is intentional but you've got QT managing 2 of the Marshall Factory but not Aaron Solow. </p><p> </p><p> Anna Jay should have a starting injury to her shoulder, they said in February she was likely to be out for 6-12 months.</p><p> </p><p> Potentially worth giving KiLynn King a contract and adding a stable with her, Red Velvet and Big Swole, they seem to be becoming an established trio on Dark, either wrestling in 3 vs 3s or tag matches with the other person accompanying them.</p><p> </p><p> Penta/PAC/Rey Fenix are set as babyfaces with Alex Abrahantes as a heel. Recent weeks definitely seem to have Death Triangle in a heel role, and Alex should be managing Penta. </p><p> </p><p> Red Velvet should possibly be out of Nightmare Family; don't think she's done anything with them since the Shaq/Jade tag - seems more associated with Swole and King now.</p><p> </p><p> I wasn't going to mention stats/overness because they're so subjective, but Tay Conti's had enough of a spotlight recently - teaming with Shida and then the women's title match - that she should probably be higher for June.</p><p> </p><p> Is Veda Scott still around? I don't think I've seen her since I started watching, and Twitter search doesn't suggest she's done anything in AEW in 2021. That said, it could be pandemic-related, so maybe she'll reappear.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, like I said, awesome job, just figured I'd share those thoughts.</p>

Is there a way to make it more likely that an owner of an AI fed will keep the book themselves than hiring someone else? I seem to remember seeing someone work out how, but can't remember details and my search skills are failing me.

Yeah, I'm really liking Kilynn too! Red Velvet's great and Swole isn't as good, but she's not as bad as some people seem to think.

I assumed that, but it would have made significantly more sense if they'd jumped them. And also, they'd had to have known exactly when to honk the horn... On the plus side, thought that was generally a really good show and the Tay/Shida stuff - not just the match, but the promos leading up to it and the recent storyline with them tagging together - has been absolutely fantastic. Women's division, with Britt about to challenge, Jade looking phenomenal, and some fun stuff on Dark (Ryo/Leyla teaming!) is superb atm.

No, but you could do 2013 to 2016, then to 2020. Good luck with this!

Same for me on iPhone.

<p>CZCW Apr - June 200</p><p> </p><p> The 64 man King of the Indies tournament got off to an explosive start as <strong>Eden Layman</strong> dumped out his nemesis <strong>Rich Money</strong>, the SoCal champion, in the very first match! Layman's run would be ended in the next round, though, as Money's bodyguard<strong> Genghis Rahn</strong> pulled off a shock win over him. While nothing touched the incredible<strong> Larry Vessey/Nemesis</strong> match from last year, the tournament brought a host of great matches, even in the early stages. <strong>JD Morgan </strong>defeating <strong>Barry Kingman</strong>, <strong>Silver Shark</strong> beating <strong>Alex Braun</strong> and Morgan over <strong>The Moving Target</strong> were all outstanding bouts. We also saw a couple of very strong first round performances which really boosted people's status - <strong>Rolling Johnny Stones</strong> took <strong>Johnny Martin</strong> to the limit, <strong>Fox Mask</strong> put in a great showing against <strong>Acid</strong>, and <strong>Donnie J </strong>got a couple of really close nearfalls against <strong>Silver Shark</strong>. The second round saw a high-flying spectacular as <strong>Electrico </strong>beat <strong>Fumihiro Ota</strong>, a technical classic in which Martin defeated<strong> Black Hat Bailey</strong>, <strong>Electrofly </strong>get a shock victory over the legendary Teddy Flame (Teddy having defeated his brother Joey in round 1), and <strong>Flex </strong>defeat<strong> Dark EAGLE</strong>, after picking up another big scalp in the first round going over<strong> Hollywood Mike Kinsey</strong>.</p><p> </p><p> Highlights of the final 16 saw Flex's great run continue as he beat <strong>Human Arsenal</strong>, Silver Shark go over <strong>Richie Pangrazzio</strong>, Alex Braun beat <strong>Philip Roberts</strong>, Electrico defeat <strong>Monty Walker</strong>, and Johnny Martin be pushed to the limit by<strong> Craig Dugal</strong> but eventually get the win. </p><p> </p><p> Down to 8, then, with the quarter-finals happening a week before the event, 2 matches on TV and 1 at each tour event. Flex beat Electrico, Johnny Martin beat JD Morgan, Silver Shark beat Alex Braun and<strong> Snap Dragon</strong>, a major underdog at the start of the tourney, beat former tag champion <strong>Tom Gilmore</strong> to book his place in the semis.</p><p> </p><p> All four losers faced off in a four-way match, with the winner getting the title shot at Rich Money at the big event; JD Morgan forced Electrico to tap out to grab the win.</p><p> </p><p> The event itself saw several outstanding matches, with three huge stories. Morgan forced Money to submit, ending his 19 month title reign, while Flex defeated first Shark then Martin to cement his place as a true main-eventer with the tourney win. Layman and<strong> Raven Nightfall </strong>also pulled off a massive victory - due to take on <strong>Grace Harper </strong>and Larry Vessey in a "losers leave town for at least 12 months" match, Team Domination leader Rich Money announced that due to Grace's travel problems the match would be cancelled. The popular pair of Eden and Raven challenged<strong> Rumble Roper </strong>to take Harper's place, and Raven's Nightfaller DDT proved too much for Vessey, chasing half of Team Domination out of the fed. With Money losing allies fast, he's now firmly in Layman's sights. </p><p> </p><p> In the show's other main match, Fumihiro Ota retained his CZCW Xtreme title with an incredible victory in a ladder match against Donnie J. The fifth time in just a few months these two have collided for the belt, they have a respectful rivalry which keeps getting better and better. The title changes proved less frequent than in the first quarter; The Moving Target held it for 10 defences - with great wins over<strong> Seth Storm </strong>and<strong> Kid Tiger Heart</strong> - before losing it to Ota in one of our best ever matches; Ota dropped to Donnie J a few weeks later. Donnie's 8 defences included a sensational victory over JD Morgan, a huge win over Eden Layman, and a great match with Cherry Bomb, the first woman to try and win the title. It was another woman who'd end his reign, though, Raven Nightfall beating him, only to drop it to Ota a couple of weeks later.</p><p> </p><p> Speaking of women, Nightfall will pair with Eden and Cherry will team with Craig Dugal as they become the first female competitors to enter an expanded tag grand prix, which will have 10 teams in each block! We'll see Money team up with Rahn, RJS and KTH repeat their pairing from last year, and Monty Walker pair up with Fox Mask. Then there's the return of the <strong>Royal Canadian Air Force, Calvin Dark </strong>and <strong>Ron Greenhorn</strong>, and <strong>JJ Coles/Tim Tantrum</strong>. And, of course, all our top teams - Arsenal/Gilmore, <strong>the Ghosts, Sammy Bach</strong>/Target, Flex/<strong><strong>Barry Kingman </strong></strong>and the rest, will be liking their chances. Should be another great three months!</p>

Unless they have the Dynamo attribute, most wrestlers will hold back in less important matches. (So if you’re running PPVs they’ll hold back on TV shows, for example.)
