His only memorable spot was the elbow at the start. Otherwise his presence made no difference. The jury is still out, losing to Roode and being just a guy in a eight-person tag isn't going to do him any favours. - This being Ruby Riot's in ring debut was senseless. Her offence isn't remotely established yet but her tangles with Nikki Storm seemed placed so as to try and blow the roof off the building. That was over-ambitious on their part and it couldn't have fallen flatter. - Strong performances from Roddy and Tye, both deserve better than losing to a Sanity act that's come right out of the TNA 2013 playbook. Commenators shill 'the numbers game' because that's definitely cutting edge wrestling booking in 2017. <img alt=":rolleyes:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> - Tommy End looked decent but probably should have faced a proper enhancement talent, not a spectacular luchadore that went out there and out-performed him. Andrade Almas is, for my money, the best singles wrestler in NXT. - Asuka vs. Ember Moon started fantastic, then started to lack in quality more and more as it went on. Ember still seems hardly the finished article, it doesn't seem like her key moves are over yet and her character motivations are still vague and tropey. The character development of Asuka is something else though, it's been a long-term story and I'm glad to see all the little nuances are adding up now. - I'm not watching Roode vs. Nakamura because I don't care. I haven't cared about the NXT title since Kevin Owens dropped it and the by the numbers build to this did nothing for me. I can do far more productive things with thirty minutes than to watch this rubbish (ie. new Rick and Morty, watch the New Japan Cup, continue watching Attack on Titan, play a few games of FIFA). I'm sure it was probably an OK wrestling match.</div></blockquote> I figured Jose had to be hurt if they took him out of the opener. Ohno got me excited when I saw him as the replacement, but he's really fallen flat since he came back to me. Ruby Riot and Nikki Cross/Storm were fine, but it was basically blind brawling that they did which didn't really need to be part of the match. I haven't been made to care about Sanity, but Roddy looked amazing and Tye's comeback performance was great too. I really hope Tye comes up soon, and Roddy would look so good against some of the guys they have in the Cruiserweight division (they announce him at 200 lbs, so here's hoping). I was unimpressed by Tommy End/Aleister Black. I like the character bits, and it was obvious he was going to win, but Andrade has been exceptional since he became a heel. Black seems like the kind of guy who debuts as a face because everyone knows him, then oh wait he's actually a heel, which I'd anticipate by the next Takeover. Asuka vs Ember Moon was alright. Didn't really care about this one, but the finish was "worth it" in a manner of speaking. I think it was good for Asuka's character. I see her coming up to the main roster soon, but I wouldn't be surprised if they give her more time in NXT because I think she can still improve on the mic, and that's where the women spend a lot of their time on the main roster. Barely watched the main event. I love Roode, but I haven't cared about Nakamura since he was done with Balor, and I don't enjoy his ring style. I really hope that Roode moves from here to another challenger, but I don't see another face who has been built up for him to fight right now. There's Tye, Roddy, Ohno and Jose, but 3 of the above are coming off losses and Jose didn't even get his Takeover match, so who knows? <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Mootinie" data-cite="Mootinie" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="25169" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>- I have nothing to say about the tag match apart from that it was fantastic. I have no idea how a NXT Tag Team Title match hasn't headlined a TakeOver yet. Maybe it's because there isn't a tag team revolution in sports right now? It does seem like this division's best days may well be behind it and we'll go back to matches of similar quality to the old Lucha Dragons vs. Ascension matches now.</div></blockquote> And to this one specifically, it's not a tag team revolution, it's a tag team Revivial. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> But yeah, MOTN with ease. If these teams would stay down there, I think it's reasonable they'd ME a Takeover in the next year, but they're probably coming up.

I've been doing what I thought was a good job keeping my roster size down but now two years into a save, I've called up a bunch of developmental guys and a lot of my main roster is on long term contracts. I'm currently at 50 active wrestlers with two on hiatus and the next contract that comes up is in 270 days <img alt=":(" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />. 50 doesn't seem like enough for a brand split though. Should I keep signing guys to build a second brand or just let my enhancement talents and openers sit in the preshow for awhile?</div></blockquote> I either send people down to development "To work there" if I don't have anything coming up for them, or do a brand split. I feel like 50 is reasonable for a brand split, but it depends on tag teams. I feel like having a bunch of guys who are specifically "tag guys" can quickly increase your roster size.

I didn't recognize all the guys in the videos which would have made it better, and I thought some of the SRW stuff was overdone. I would've liked a bigger variety of guys, especially given it was supposed to be a 12 man battle royal at Lethal Leap Year. Cena was worse than I thought he'd be, which is one of the first times I've ever said that. Jericho, Slater, Rusev and Karl Anderson were great though.

I'm a little sad about the end of Jeri-KO because the angles were gold, but on the other hand, the angles in the feud are gonna be gold. Also, Graves saying so matter of factly "Stop it Kevin" when he starts attacking Jericho was the best.

I was clicking too fast and accidentally cancelled my big event. I'm on the next day. Is there a way I can go back and undo that?

Whitehead is wrestling as Havok, which I like, but right now Smith is "Hazard" using CVFP_MaskedMale048 for a picture. Originally, it was supposed to be Whitehead & Stuntman as a tag team and they were The Vile Few, only for Stuntman to be injured in his second match and go down for a year. Right now, Havok & Hazard are "Malice" but I don't like that, or the Hazard name. Any ideas?

I've seen and enjoyed Marseglia's work on prior episodes of RoH TV. So I am glad to see him get more to do. But the third guy in the group is pretty much a stranger to me. He seems to fit well in the stable based on the little I saw in this week's episode. But it bugs me that's all I have to go on. Oh and personal taste here. Could someone please tell Taven he and Marseglia look too much alike with the look he has going right now? Might be nice if he had some garish old gold hair or a big crown tattoo on his chest. Something to really set him apart as the leader when everyone's buzzing about.</div></blockquote> From what I saw, the Decade of Excellence tournament, I'm not sure on "why now" but it's 10 guys who were with the company 10 years ago. I think it's just kinda a veteran's showcase sort of thing, and most of them are near the top of the card as well?

Looking to rename Danny Fonzarelli in my TCW game. He's turning heel and switching to an Arch Competitor gimmick, stating that he's 40 and doesn't have time anymore to have fun and play with the fans if he wants to be champion. If it makes a difference, I'm also planning on turning Mighty Mo and having him go by simply Mo Barrett. I've been watching too much Monday Night Wars on WWE Network and the less realistic gimmicks aren't doing it for me.

Playing around with data with all starting contracts removed. I'm SWF, and I think me and USPW took all of the big stars in the first month because TCW doesn't look so good.

So I had a mass talent exodus (to bigger and brighter things) the same month that I gave the tag titles to then midcard pairing Jamie Atherton & Jayson Van Pelt, The Canadian Outlaws. After the exodus, Atherton autopushes to Main Event and with his star quality and mic skills, I kinda want to give him the belt, especially since I want to get it off of now flabby face champ Harry Allen, who is probably done after this "season" of my company. (12 month seasons)

Now, what I want to do with Atherton is have him throw down the tag titles, declare them beneath him, and move on to title contention. The question is, this leaves Van Pelt in the lurch. He is still midcard, though not far from Upper Mid.

I'm looking at the following choices, but would also accept a better one if it showed up:

*Turn Van Pelt face, have him feel offended and keep Atherton busy for a bit (allows Allen to finish his feud with the Rudos stable and Devious Doctor Fang)

*Leave Van Pelt heel but have him find a new tag team partner (perhaps NBT Drake Young) and keep the belts

*Leave Van Pelt heel and have him also go solo and after the midcard title held by also heel Sonny Wildside

*Other?

My regional level promotion is about to undergo a facelift as 3 of my 5 main eventers are signing written deals with other promotions. Kirk Jameson went to BHOTWG, Greg Gauge to WLW and Dagger just got approached by TCW. I still have some guys who can have great matches, but I planned a lot of this year around Jameson and Dagger so it's a bummer. Also TCW is taking upper midcarder Davis Wayne Newton. If they grab El Mitico Jr, that'll be all of the guys who have put on 80+ rated performances that I still have left.

Also, on my last show, I had my first audible call in a match when Topher Smith gave Elliot Thomas a Herniated Spinal Disc, keeping him out 9 months post surgery (originally 11).

The one positive of this is that all of the guys who were signed away were heels, so the heel-heaviness I was feeling is gone now.

Playing a game as Peter Michaels, who decided to start up his own Cult level promotion focussing on high-flying cruiserweight action, and scantily-clad eye candy nonsense. Both of which I've found as being fairly cheap ways of getting good grades with cheap workers, using High Spots/Eye Candy match aims.

My cruiserweight division has been headlined by Kamikaze (punk) Devyn Reynaud (black power) & Sonny Wildside (adult star) all of which have developed greatly as workers, and would find themselves at least Lower Midcarders in any of the other US promotions. Donnie J came in for a while (as suave ladies man DJ Savage) to prop up the division, but Kamikaze stood out from the pack to take the belt at the end of 2016. I've just snagged Jefferson Stardust from SWF (first of many big signings now money is looking good). He'll be repackaged as something risky, to match my fanbase's preferences.

My Stargirl division was originally to be headlined by Alina America (now Alina Cruz, degenerate) but she just kept getting into trouble. First fights with Lily Snyder (nun) got the latter one fired. Then she seriously injured Millie the minx (cute nerd 'Knoble Price'). Then she got seriously injured herself. Her role is likely to be taken over by Teresa Perez (slut 'Cinnamon Angel') whose team with Houston Handley ('Winchester Rose') has been a surprise hit.

One year in an I'm having tons of fun. I'd run these products before, but never together, and never with a television schedule. Money has been tough, but the fanbase has grown, and securing a bigger network for our 4 annual PPV's has been great.

P.S. Devious Doctor Fang is my new favourite worker. So devious...

This sounds like a ton of fun. I did a similar game without the women's wrestling aspect and had a lot of fun with it. I would be very interested to hear more.

December 10, 2016

Just watched Aaron Andrews, Nicky Champion and Rich Money's contracts all come up within a week of each other in early 2017. I'm only regional, so I just get to sit back and watch the big dogs fight each other.

UPDATE: USPW signed all 3. A little bit of a disappointing result, I was hoping at least 1 of the 3 would go to a different company than the rest.

I was considering a comedy tag team with Ray Snow (Heel, No Gimmick Needed) and Drake Young (Heel, Comedian) and in the first test, turns out they have excellent chemistry, so I'm going for it. Any thoughts on a name?

I'd be shocked if Goldberg didn't face Brock twice somewhere in this deal, once to tie it up 1-1 and once to decide it one way or another.

October 13, 2016

Started up an SWF game and just ran When Hell Freezes over, the first big event, which pulled a 91, with a 95 Main Event, which has me super pumped to continue.

To kick off the show, Jack Bruce cut a promo, kicking off the show with a 100 rated angle, then defeated The Crippler to get his revenge for the injury.

Following that, Hero Squad knocked off The Platinum Blondes. The match was just to get both on the show, but Hero Squad is also going to move into a feud with The Awesomeness now since they won. I have owner goals to get both Stardust & Zimmy over, so I'd rather KO that sooner than later by separating the two pairs.

Mikey Lau defeated Joe Sexy, breaking Sexy's promise to ruin Mikey's pretty face. Sexy isn't done though, and these two will probably feud for a while. Depends on how the ratings go; this match got a 78, the lowest rating on the card.

Next, Hollywood Bret Starr came to the ring and called out Skull DeBones for their match, but when DeBones appeared, Bear Bekowski & Kurt Laramee jumped him from behind (it would have been The Pain Alliance, but I suspended BSS). This was the lowest rated segment on the show with a 70, but I should've had Bear and/or Laramee rated on Menace. Next month, pretty sure Skull is gonna win either a 2v1 or 3v1 handicap match while Bret looks on. With some luck, I can string this along until Supreme Challenge. DeBones is tops on the Time Decline list, so at some point I'm gonna retire him, but I'm not sure Starr is the guy to do it. Depends on how the development goes.

Following that, noted buzzkill Squeeky McClean knocked off fun-loving Jimmy Hernandez. I always like Hernandez, and there’s a great alt I’m looking forward to using for a future heel turn, but for now, he’s in the midcard.

Subsequently, Joey Morgan successfully defended his North American title against Paul Huntingdon. Morgan has to get pretty over due to owner goals, so he’s probably going to drop the belt sooner than later, but given the storyline, I don’t think that Huntingdon is going to be the guy that does it.

Next, Steven Parker came to the ring for his match against Eric Eisen, but Eisen declared that Parker was too far beneath him and refused to compete. The two exchanged words but didn’t come to blows.

The next match was The Awesomeness successfully defending the tag titles against The Amazing Bumfholes. I really like The Awesomeness as a tag team and the Bumfholes might be nearing the point where they split up and go into singles action.

In the semi-main event, Brandon James defeated Valiant to become #1 Contender to the North American title. I had planned to put Valiant over here, but James didn’t want to lose with Creative Control, so I’m just rolling with it. Brandon was already going to move to feud with Joey Morgan, so I’m alright with this development.

And in the main event, Remo successfully defended the SWF World Title against Angry Gilmore and Rogue in the match of the night, scoring a 95, which blew me away by score.

Overall, the show pulled in a 91, which feels really high and has me really hyped for the rest of the game.
