CQI13

Super company meaning a very distant second?

I would be interested to see what the numbers for the PPV are. Did he add that many viewers (or as many as they thought he would)?

<p>But it's a brand that certainly didn't carry over. Who knows, maybe he would be more than a "special attraction" playing table tennis.</p><p> </p><p> **what I mean by "didn't carry over" - Of course, he has name value. No one is disputing that. But his name value won't get him past this first fight. With that performance, he should be done. But then again, with the loser's mentality of "just stepping in the cage is a win"...so wait, you're 1-1 now? He had a 'dream' of fighting and he completed it. Good for him. I have respect for him getting in there. But what now? With that performance, he's not going to add much to the ratings going forward. He's an old, skinny dude who has minimal training in this. Any fight in the UFC he takes next will likely be the same result, or worse.</p>

In this day and age you have to have outside shooting and apart from Mirotic and McBuckets, the Bulls have nobody. I love D-Wade though and I love that they replaced one hometown hero (Rose) with another. I just don't see them competing this season. They'll be around the 8th seed but that's it.<p> </p><p> I'm looking for good improvement from my Hornets. Their coach (Steve Clifford) is one of the more underrated coaches in the entire league and with a healthy Kidd-Gilchrist, we should realistically be pushing for a top 4 seed in the east, probably fourth though as I think Cleveland, Toronto and Boston are the elite in the east</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Well, it is the East, so Chicago might be higher than 8th. But I do agree they will be in the bottom half of the playoff teams.</p>

Although I see some benefit to running it throughout the month. Depending on the reward/payoff of the tournament it could help build into a storyline between a champion and contender. It also can allow you to mix things up a lot once a year during the culmination of the tournament.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Won't it show up in the game as KCW World Championship Title?</p>

When they bring the Cruiserweights over they don't devote an uninterrupted hour to them (would rather they mix it in) - that way you don't train an audience to skip an entire hour (or 2). Kind of like WCW did with the 3 hour shows where the unopposed hour was all nWo skits and no matches.

I will have to see if Chicago learns how to shoot between now and the beginning of the season. Looking forward to Golden State. There's no way they win 70+ games again this year though.

<p>Becky was the right winner there. But Carmella is just meh. Digging Bliss too - is this her new in ring gear? Or was it to match the Backlash color scheme?</p><p> Digging the Usos as heels. They've done a great job.</p><p> The Miz has been consistently really good lately - especially his angle with Bryan. I was half expecting Ziggler to win after the whole "the negotiations will be a lot harder AFTER I defend."</p><p> Bray bores me. The dirty dreads look does nothing to make him compelling to me.</p><p> Slater & Rhyno - SOOOO happy for Slater. He's more than put his time in. He's done what's been asked of him. And he's turned into a really good in-ring worker.</p><p> Ambrose is better than some people give him credit for, but he's not on the level of Styles. Glad for Styles getting the belt after all the work HE'S put in from TNA to Japan to the indies.</p>

What people seemed to forget during his 'showcase' is that no one said he would get a major league contract. But it's the cool thing to bash Tebow. People raised an eyebrow at Jordan playing baseball - and he really was atrocious.

The WWE relationship with Susan G Komen has always annoyed me. I feel bad for hating on a cancer charity, but when you look into Susan G Komen, the word "charity" is used very scarcely.

It feels wrong to be annoyed at charities though.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Well, SGK is a Foundation which lets them fudge on the numbers as to how much actually goes to research, etc.</p><p> </p><p> More on topic, looking forward to the PPV.</p>

For Haley Buck's name, maybe Natasha would work. Or find a "Russian" last name and use a Col. in front of it if she's from the Russian military.

Working on setting up a game as EVOLVE Pro Wrestling (a rebranded USPW to give me more freedom). I am creating an alliance which will include my two developmental companies, and maybe 3 or 4 other companies. I want to run an Alliance showcase show - should that be a separate show I run? Or should that be one of my regularly scheduled shows? Meaning - I can run my 12 PPVs and then have 4 Alliance shows OR I can have 12 PPVs with 1 (or more) of those being an Alliance show.

Have you considered doing 4 matches for each side and maybe alternate when certain feuds end (e.g. The WWE Championship should be defended every month, but maybe a secondary title goes on a 2 month feud before it hits PPV)?

<p>Really, though? I started watching NXT around the time of the Network (that Cesaro/Zayn feud was fantastic). I think by then they were already on their way to being the longest reigning tag team champions. </p><p> </p><p> Did they serve a purpose? Absolutely. Were they entertaining? Meh.</p><p> </p><p> That's not to say that they can't rebound on the main roster. Everyone was crapping on how Tyler Breeze was being used. And I was shocked to see Fandango was still employed. But put them together and they are awesome.</p><p> </p><p> But just because they were 'awesome' in NXT (The Ascension) it doesn't mean they are gonna do the same thing on the main roster. Maybe their schtick is better suited for there. Maybe they're too limited. They'll find their role eventually - not everyone is a home run hitter.</p>

Russo is funny. Is he just saying stuff to get a reaction?

Baw God!) - sorry, first thing that came to mind.</p>

<p>You are probably right. The only part of the tv shows I watch is what they show on the PPVs and the occasional NXT on the network. I just remember her NXT debut to the first time she spoke in ring. Even then I remember her being better suited as a heel. Stuff like Breaking Ground makes her seem like a face.</p><p> </p><p> Not sure I agree entirely on the talent being ruined. Tyler Breeze has found a niche. I wish Apollo Crews was doing better. But The Ascension and The Vaudevillains are where they should be. Corbin could be doing better. (Mind you, these are the first ones that come to mind. There may be examples you feel are more representative of ruined).</p><p> </p><p> But I feel like Corbin and Crews will eventually fill a role and go from there. Not everyone can be (or should) pushed to great heights.</p><p> </p><p> Breeze for example. Loved his work in NXT. But the character is suited to his current role on the roster. He's revived Fandango (forgot he was still employed).</p><p> </p><p> As for surprise debuts, some people have 'it' and some don't. I hadn't seen Zayn or Owens prior to their WWE/NXT run. Heard of them, never saw them.</p><p> </p><p> I saw Zayn and said "Meh. Guess it's cool." But I saw Owens and from the beginning I thought he was going to be a star in WWE. And I saythat based on first exposure only. Their promo work helps (I find Owens to be head and shoulders above Zayn in that department). But I am sure that comes down to personal preferences.</p>

But Carmella's annoying and much better suited to be a heel. Like it was mentioned before, Nikki loves playing to the crowd (even as a heel). I was personally surprised about her being on the heel team given the pop she got. It's probably best that they flipped alignments.

No need for a Gargano/Ciampa feud. I'd like to see them keep a team for a change. On that topic, just because a team breaks up doesn't mean they need to feud. That way they can come together from time to time. I originally cringed when I saw the bracket for the tournament and they were facing each other, but glad to see the result.

I liked the PPV, even if the pacing seemed off. Two stoppages/non-finishes in a row? That's like having two tag matches in a row, or a manager with clients in consecutive matches - you just don't. Also, for being on the heels, Nikki got a big pop. Found that odd. I can't stand Charlotte with the "Wooooo" and those ridiculous things above her eye.

If I can, that's not a bad idea.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Game options (where you set Kenny Deaths, etc) - select edit data and then Contracts.</p><p> </p><p> Then after signing him, do the same for Company to add money to them and and subtract from you.</p>

<p>I hope there is a payoff with Slater. Like he ends up on SD and Shane/Bryan still try to make his life miserable (despite being faces) and he somehow keeps overcoming.</p><p> </p><p> The pop he normally gets is incredible despite the role.</p>

<p>You could take some creative liberties:</p><p> </p><p> Go to the editor and switch Taz's contract to end in 1 day (so you can negotiate). When you sign him, just add some money to ECW and subtract the same from yours.</p>

What I usually do when I want to keep Champion away from the belt is to have him go back to his roots and join Running Wolf. RW has consistently been a Next Big Thing or Hot Prospect so it helps to pair them up.

<p>Rebranding USPW in my game as EVOLVE Pro-Wrestling to give me a brand new starting point. The top 3 titles are awarded automatically (World, Tag, Women's). However, the X-Division will be a unification match between the TV Title and National Title.</p><p> </p><p> With that in mind - would you guys just edit the title, change the picture/name and keep the lineage? Or is it better to retire the old titles and award the new ones (minus the X Division one as explained above)?</p>
