According to Paige, the first test was clean but she didn't get it done in time because she was far from the testing site when it was ordered. Then the second one is related to pain killers, which makes sense because she's been injured for a while. I feel like if she takes time off, gets healthy but never gets her push back, it'll be WWE's loss is TNA's gain.

I absolutely don't know what to do with him. I do have Edd Stone but he's known as Edward Stone and is in a tag team with Richard DeColt known as Canadian Brothers. They're in a feud against The Real Americans (Running Wolf and Happy Elwood), and I think I'm going to go with the Americans to set up a feud with The Cold Warrior for the titles. I'm really stumped on what to do with Freddie Hugs. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Speaking of The Cold Warriors, they are going to beat Natural Storm for the tag titles soon so set up the storyline with Real Americans. I recently got into a huge bidding war over Eddie Howard and he's now paid too much to be a tag team wrestler. I plan to write him off in angle were the Warriors put him through a table and then repackage him as the fabulous heel, Mr. Amazing that is in his character section. I'm not saying he'll win the title but he'll get a shot! What gimmick should I use? How should I bring him back? </p><p> </p><p> The last guy is Jefferson Stardust, what do you guys think of putting him in a tag team with D.C Rayne? Or should I put him as a heel and have him go against Rayne on his way to a midcard title? </p><p> </p><p> Thanks for all help and suggestions</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I love getting Freddy Huggins when I can because I give him the catchphrase/nickname "Fearless & Peerless" and have him be a total prima donna, but one who the fans can get behind if I need him as a face because he's got a somewhat reckless (fearless) style.</p><p> </p><p> For Mr. Amazing, there are a number of gimmicks that could work, but the ones that come to mind are Fabulous Heel, Cocky Youth and Arrogant Heel. I could even see him come out interrupting D.C. Rayne to be a nuisance but that might be a little too on-the-nose to throw them right against each other.</p><p> </p><p> Is Jefferson Stardust a next big thing in your game? He usually is in ones I play, and if I can get him to bulk up to Middleweight, his SQ is really good. I'd push him hard if you can get him to bulk up, otherwise a slow burn push wouldn't be bad either. I don't see how a team with D.C. Rayne would work, but I wouldn't rule it out. The only issue with that is where is the team going?</p>

Starting out an SWF game, and looking to take some inspiration from Luke Cage. I'm thinking about just making Primus Allen a Luke Cage type character (Avenging Angel gimmick, righting wrongs and punching faces) but I'm not sure who to use as "villains" for him. I'm definitely thinking of John Greed as a Cottonmouth Stokes type character, but don't have the specifics. Any thoughts?

<p>Ran my own company for 2 years, was just starting to make decent progress when at the end of 2017, after some of my roster was grumpy about being left off my season finale (oops), I gave the whole roster $3,000 bonuses (major oops). Well I was too used to playing SWF and those bonuses left me about $65,000 in debt and I was out of business by March 2018. So I started a new company in May 2019, moving from Manitoba, Canada to Tri State, USA. Well it's a totally different ball game here in the Tri State, with me getting dinged for my production quality hard as FCW and NYCW are way higher. But I can't afford to compete with them so I'm just taking the dings every show. I edited my finances after 3 months as I tried to compete for a bit and lost $50k the first month and $25k each of the following 2. So I just removed the negative sign and have been staying afloat with that war chest, but still losing money every month. Here's the champs & roster at the end of 2019.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>AWL American Champion: Eddie Peak</strong> (also figurehead, not really sure what to do since he's 7 years into decline but by far the most over worker in the company. Probably shouldn't have made him figurehead, but oh well. For now, he's just beating people left and right, but mostly the lower card guys to look menacing.)</p><p> <strong>AWL Young Lion Champion: Donte Dunn</strong> (autopushes to midcard, #1 on NBT list. probably going to get a long run with the belt to get over and maybe challenge a heel-turned Peak & dethrone him? not sure but I want to push him over)</p><p> <strong>AWL Tag Team Titles: Vacant</strong> (haven't found any positive tag chemiostry on my roster except between 2 main eventers, so not rushing the tag belts onto anyone)</p><p> </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>The Rest of the Roster:</strong></span></p><p> </p><ul><li>Ant-Man (Lower Midcard, loses a lot right now but could get pushed eventually)<br /></li><li>Arnold Lashley (Opener, also loses a lot. 82 SQ, 99 Basics, 95 Safety, 100 Selling, so he's going to job for a while, then maybe get a push? depends if his top row ever develops)<br /></li><li>Bradford Peverell (Upper Midcard, just a good worker right now. keeping his momentum positive but no big plans for moving him higher)<br /></li><li>Bradley Blaze (Midcard, another good worker. right now he mostly loses to the upper midcard faces when they need momentum and goes even with anyone else)<br /></li><li>Bret Heartbreak (Opener, getting a slight push right now with back to back tainted wins over Ant-Man. Went up to Muscular and his SQ went up to 91, so I want to push him)<br /></li><li>Charger Siaki (Enhancement Talent, pure jobber. not bad stats after a few years in SWF development though)<br /></li><li>Ernest Youngman (Main Eventer, MVP of the company easily. If Peak would lose to him without walking out, Youngman would be champ right now)<br /></li><li>Fro Sure (Upper Midcard, I have no idea what to do with him, but I love his 100 SQ and if I get big, I'm gonna throw the company on his back and let him run.)<br /></li><li>George Wolfe (Midcard, a pet project in a past game, I gave him a shot and was disappointed, so he's drifting down the card)<br /></li><li>Gram Gorman (Lower Midcard, probably getting fired soon for his backstage antics, but he's so good that I don't want to. Every top row stat is over 60 and if his Psych would go up 1, all of his performance would be too which is great for my small company)<br /></li><li>Haranobu Kobayashi (Lower Midcard, great stats & SQ, but a negative influence in the locker room. haven't decided what to do with him yet, he's also the only other person on my NBT list)<br /></li><li>Lenny Brown (Midcard, got good in SWF developmental, came in to replace an aging American Machine when I was trying to cut costs and has out performed what Machine was doing)<br /></li><li>Logan Wolfsbaine (Upper Midcard, my second best ratings machine behind Youngman, still only 23. definitely a company anchor for years to come)<br /></li><li>Primus Allen (Main Event, 30 years old, stats probably not improving a ton, but he's pretty good. For a company my size, I love his work. Almost every stat except the non-brawling top rows is 70+)<br /></li></ul><p></p>

<p>Trying to build to TCW Total Mayhem XX. I'm really excited for this one because it feels like where the things I've been starting are finally going to come together. The card looks like this:</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Aaron Andrews © vs. Ricky Dale Johnson for the TCW World Heavyweight Title</em></strong></p><p> Andrews beat Rocky Golden at Malice when Chance Fortune turned heel and joined his former LA Connection partner. Afterward, Rocky got sidetracked by an attack from the debuting Marat Khoklov, so RDJ stepped in as the face of do-gooding, upset at how Aaron handled the belt. Aaron hasn't beaten RDJ clean yet, but did defeat him at War To Settle the Score. Aaron wins this one again as his stable, The Player's Club (Chance Fortune, Jay Chord and maybe one other) comes together.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Sammy Bach vs. Wolf Hawkins</em></strong></p><p> Literally just a ratings match for me. The story is that at the fatal fourway elimination match at Just Another Day? in March, Hawkins pinned Bach while Hawkins tapped out to the Bach On Your Back, eliminating both and retaining the title for Andrews. So they both feel screwed by the other. Pretty sure Wolf is going to win, but I'm not positive because I don't want to end up too heel heavy on the top end and with Sammy's 98 SQ, I have little qualms about pushing him to the moon.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Rocky Golden vs. Marat Khoklov</em></strong></p><p> I fully expect this to be the lowest rated match on the card, but oh well. Rocky lost to Marat at War to Settle the Score, and beat Eddie Peak last month to earn this chance at a rematch. Marat's just been clobbering whoever I feed him so far and hasn't lost in TCW. Rocky gets this one because he's still the figurehead and I want him on top. Marat's contract is up the following month as well, we'll see if I keep him around; I only brought him in for this feud.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Jay Chord © vs. Mighty Mo for the TCW International Championship</em></strong></p><p> The only starting storyline still going, Jay and Mo have both been slowly moving their way up the card. Jay won a Fatal Fourway at Just Another Day? to earn the title in a match also involving Mo, Giant Tana and former champion Marc Speed. Jay retains because he's a founding member of The Player's Club.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Benny Benson vs. Marc Speed</em></strong></p><p> Speed tries to submit Benson, who's been doing a great job of slipping out of Speed's holds over the past couple of months. A bit of a filler match, I originally wanted Joshua Taylor vs. Speed in a battle of holds, but USPW stole Taylor when his contract came up.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>The New Wave vs. The Canadian Animals</em></strong></p><p> Freddy & Edd have been pulling crazy ratings on my B-Show while The New Wave feuded with The Behemoths (still tag champs) and The Elite, so this will be the show opener to get the crowd hot. Pretty sure New Wave win, but Freddy has been so good that I kinda want to push him towards the main event.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>The Behemoths (Titan & Killer Shark) vs. The Raging Bulls (Bulldozer Brandon Smith & Lug Phelan) for the TCW Tag Team Titles</em></strong></p><p> This is the plan that I had brought Smith & Phelan in for, but they haven't gotten the overness I wanted, which probably means The Behemoths retain despite a good brawl.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Troy Tornado vs. Jefferson Stardust</em></strong></p><p> I stole Stardust from SWF and debuted him interfering in a Benson/Tornado feud. Since then, it's been about who is the bigger rock star. I think Stardust wins this to go up 2-0 in the feud and call it as well. Tornado has underwhelmed since the start of this game and I think I've soured on him a bit.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Some Sort of Battle Royal</em></strong></p><p> Gotta fit everyone on the show or they get mad, right? But seriously, this will probably be a combination of foreshadowing Bryan Vessey's face turn some more (going to have him join Human Arsenal & Buddy Garner and turn The Lethal Weapons into a stable), showing off Eddie Peak as a monstrous predator, and continuing the slow, casual Giant Tana half-push he got as Marc Speed's #1 contender for 3 months. And I'll probably slip a couple lower card guys in the final 4 to give them a bit of a rub. Davis Wayne Newton & Ernest Youngman, maybe, or Eddie Chandler, or Matt Hocking.</p>

He lost the title in September, due to injury, and was kicked out of the Horsemen for being unable to win the title back. Since then, he's been tearing through the Horsemen, 1 by 1, and winning the US title back on the side, culminating with an unsuccessful World Title shot against Ric Flair. The reasoning behind having him re-join the Horsemen is that after beating the rest, and almost beating Flair, he's proved he has what it takes to be a Horesman. This could also lead to a lengthy feud with His Friend Sting, leading to Sting vs Flair at next year's Starrcade.</p><p> </p><p> Curt Hennig - After the collapse of the AWA Hennig was brought in as The Perfect Competitor, defeating Bruiser Brody in his first match, and going on a win streak for the rest of the year, including a lengthy feud against Ted DeBiase and his Million Dollar Mercenaries. Hennig has both the skills, and personality, to make a good Horseman. The drawback, and the same drawback as Luger, is that there's a lack main event and upper-midcard faces in the company, and turning him, or Luger, would make things even more imbalanced.</p><p> </p><p> Jerry Lalwer - He currently works for CWA, but was brought in during the fall of 1988 to feud with Flair. While his run was intended to fill time between The Great American Bash and the buildup to Starrcade, Flair and Lawler ended up putting on the best match so far at Halloween Havoc. I could bring him in full time as a surprise new member.</p><p> </p><p> Eaton - Despite their skill and popularity, both The Midnight Express and The Rock And Roll Express have kind of gotten lost in the shuffle. Bobby Eaton has put on stand-out performances every time he gets in the ring, and it may be time to break him away from Stan Lane in a singles run.</p><p> </p><p> Johnny Ace - Johnny Ace has spent most of the past 2 years in a moderately successful tag team with The Barbarian. Ric Flair took him on as a protege and Ace has grown by leaps and bounds as a performer. He's currently slated for a singles push, and joining the Horsemen would be a strong move in making him a star.</p><p> </p><p> Shane Douglas - Another of Flair's proteges. He's currently working with Terry Taylor inn the totally radical tag team Dudes With Attitudes. He's actually a slightly better worker than Ace.</p><p> </p><p> Kendall - The third of Flair's proteges. He's not as skilled in the ring as Ace and Douglas, or as charismatic, and he doesn't have the star power... Y'know what? scratch this idea. Moving on.</p><p> </p><p> Dean Malenko - He may not be charismatic, but he's exceptionally skilled in the ring, which is the most important part of being a Horseman. He recently won a tournament to crown a new Junior Heavyweight champion. Malenko joining the Horsmen would not just do wonders for his popularity, but would help bring importance to the Junior Heavyweight division.</p><p> </p><p> Shawn Michaels - Initially brought in for the above mentioned Junior Heavyweight tournament, his exceptional performance has earned him a full-time contract. He's the opposite of Malenko, in what he lacks in the ring he makes up for in charisma and presence.</p><p> </p><p> Scott Hall - Scott has been queitly putting on great matches in the undercard and pre-show since early 1987, in between tours of Japan. Earlier in 1988 he was brought in full-time to be a part of The Million Dollar Mercenaries, though this has mostly amounted to being the 4th man in eight-man tag matches, and jobbing to other tag teams with fellow mercenary Ron Bass. He has everything it takes to be a Horseman, but he'd have to do something about the mustache, though.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Are all of those guys faces? I'd say leave the 4th spot vacant for a bit and build up a few guys with them all trying to get into that coveted 4th spot. Hopefully you'd elevate a few guys that whoever doesn't get the spot could turn face?</p>

<p>Do you guys stick with the AI booking instructions and keep The War To Settle The Score in February as all 1v1 matches? I'm trying to do it in my upcoming game, and I keep filling up Just Another Day in March with all of the multi-man matches I have to push back from February.</p><p> </p><p> I'm going the "cheap" route and bringing in the big outside star, Marat for 6 months to be built up and then taken out by Rocky at Total Mayhem. My biggest concern is that I'll have to keep him or he'll just go somewhere else in the States and win someone the National Battle for free.</p><p> </p><p> My other signings are Buddy Garner (probably to team with Human Arsenal as The Lethal Weapons), Ernest Youngman, Davis Wayne Newton, and Lug Phelan and Bulldozer Brandon Smith who will probably be a tag team to feud with the Behemoths in a good ol' hoss-off.</p>

<p>Just completed SWF Times of Trouble, about to start the final month building towards Supreme Challenge. I've had some plans change on me in the past months so I'm trying to come up with a few more matches to throw on the card to fill the 4 hour show. Here's the card right now:</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Remo © vs. Jack Bruce vs. Valiant - SWF World Championship</strong></p><p> -<em>Valiant took Remo to the limit twice but wasn't able to pick up the W. Jack got the next title shot, but he didn't get the win either. Remo has roughly been booked like early 2000's Brock Lesnar, not looking weak very often. It's probably going to be Valiant going over here and continuing his push.</em></p><p> <strong>The Crippler vs. Skull DeBones</strong></p><p> -<em>The Crippler took out Skull DeBones in a post-match attack at Awesome Impact in March, and since DeBones came back, he's been haunting Crippler, including costing him a #1 Contender's match at Times of Trouble.</em></p><p> <strong>The Awesomeness vs. The All-Americans © - SWF Tag Team Titles</strong></p><p> -<em>This is the Awesomeness's contractual rematch after The All-Americans dethroned the former champs in a 4-way tag match at Times of Trouble. Des Davids returned from his injury in May, and he's getting a lot of momentum built up.</em></p><p> <strong>Eric Eisen vs. Joey Morgan</strong></p><p> -<em>Sometime during this month, Eric is gonna cost Joey his North American Title against a midcard heel to intensify this feud. Eric's been doing a "You're not Supreme" thing and now he's turned his attention to Joey. Originally Eric was gonna take the NA title here, but he's too over for it now too.</em></p><p> <strong>Joe Sexy vs. Angry Gilmore</strong></p><p> -<em>Joe Sexy has been causing trouble for the female managers of SWF and after bothering Angry's wife Jessie last month, Gilmore's gonna get revenge since Jessie's client Marshall Dillon wasn't able to.</em></p><p> <strong>The Platinum Blondes vs. Hero Squad</strong></p><p> -<em>Hero Squad joined the tag title feud back in April and are gonna try to settle things with the other tag team not in the title match.</em></p><p> <strong>Hollywood Bret Starr vs. Jimmy Hernandez - SWF Uprising Title</strong></p><p> -<em>I immediately added Uprising as a B-Show on Saturdays, so this is 2 of the guys who have been stand-outs on Uprising fighting for the new title.</em></p><p> </p><p> I also know I'm going to give Brandon James a win, since he's getting the first title shot after Supreme Challenge, as well as give Squeeky McClean a win, as he's coming off losing to Remo at Times of Trouble and I don't want it to look like I just built him up to lose to Remo & then to someone else as well. Zimmy Bumfhole ran to USPW so I've got Randy going solo and would like to give him a win as well.</p>

<p>I've just been having Jimmy Hernandez cut promos on most shows talking about whatever has been going on lately (promos on big name workers) and picking up wins over jobbers on my B-Show and he's up to about 60 Overness in USA and a Midcarder.</p><p> </p><p> Hollywood Bret Starr has been going a little slower, but he's going to feud with Hernandez into Supreme Challenge, so that should help them both.</p><p> </p><p> Steven Parker formed a tag team with Spencer Spade and they've been jobbing, but with a few pick ups joining the roster, he's up to Lower Midcard just the same. Might just have them anchor the tag ranks for a while.</p><p> </p><p> Mikey Lau is toeing Upper Midcard. He generally beats people and I'm pushing him as "The Young Knockout Kid" (which I think I stole from Chris Hero, I know I heard it a long time ago on some random indy show I watched). He's got highly positive momentum and was almost going to get a shot at Remo as a placeholder for a month before a test tag match bombed hard (68 Supreme TV Main Event with Jack Bruce & Mikey vs. Remo & Brandon James).</p><p> </p><p> After Des Davids' surgery, he's due back pretty in late May, so he's going to be joining with American Machine, who has had a pretty positive solo run picking up wins on the B-Show.</p>

<p>Playing as SWF in early May 2016 and I've run into a pair of conundrums due to bidding wars.</p><p> </p><p> First, I'm about to lose Zimmy Bumfhole (bidding war to USPW, didn't expect them to go for him), but I had my tag division pretty firmly planned out into Supreme Challenge in July. After just coming out of a triple threat tag feud also with The Awesomeness and Platinum Blondes that started at the beginning of the year, The Bumfholes were going to continue to feud with the Blondes for 2 months, then combine that feud with the new tag title feud (Awesomeness vs. Hero Squad) for a fatal four way at Supreme Challenge. My options for this one, as I see them, are:</p><p> </p><p> 1. Give Randy Bumfhole a new tag team partner that he builds up as a replacement for Zimmy.</p><p> 2. Randy feuds with the Blondes for a month, who then insert themselves into the tag title picture and Randy is directionless for a month before entering into the "use most of my guys" Battle Royal at Supreme Challenge.</p><p> 3. Randy feuds with the Blondes for 2 months as revenge for them taking out Zimmy, and uses that to look like a huge singles star. I'm just not sure how to book this one, but he has been having some of the better performances in the ring.</p><p> </p><p> The second issue is kinda the opposite. I didn't put Brandon James into my booking plans after this month because I expected to lose him to USPW after losing Paul Huntingdon and Zimmy. However, USPW randomly dropped to Cult during the bidding war and now James signed with me for 5 years. The biggest issue I have now is I signed a few potential replacements and I have no idea what to do with them. I gave Christian Price (as Chris Ca$h) the same manager as Brandon to help him get over, and also brought in Sayeed Ali, who hasn't debuted yet. Both are auto-pushing to Enhancement Talent right now, so I'd need to get them over. Here's the options I'm looking at:</p><p> </p><p> 1. Make Ca$h and Ali a tag team running interference for James.</p><p> 2. Just make Ca$h an interference runner/fall taker, pair Ali with Monty Trescarde as the new bodyguard/enforcer for my group, The Enterprise.</p><p> 3. Turn Ali face and feud Ca$h and Ali as they work their way up the card.</p><p> </p><p> Any other ideas or thoughts, or opinions on which routes to take?</p>

<p>Just ran SWF Awesome Impact 2016, and it was my second best show so far in the file, following the go home Supreme TV episode for said event. I think I'm really starting to grasp how to book SWF; in previous games I would have probably fallen to Cult by now. The results:</p><p> </p><p> (83) Jack Bruce d. The Crippler in a Last Man Standing Match (Match of the Night)</p><p> (76) Jimmy Hernandez Promo About The Show</p><p> (81) Paul Huntingdon d. Angry Gilmore (Tainted Victory)</p><p> (70) Hollywood Bret Starr Promo About Skull DeBones</p><p> (82) Skull DeBones d. Hollywood Bret Starr</p><p> (90) The Crippler Post-Match Attack on Skull DeBones (Skull DeBones sent on vacation for 2 months after to sell)</p><p> (80) Eric Eisen d. American Machine</p><p> (91) Eric Eisen Promo About American Machine</p><p> (81) Joey Morgan d. Brandon James to retain the North American Title</p><p> (78) Rogue Promo About Not Having a Match</p><p> (81) The Awesomeness d. The Amazing Bumfholes & The Platinum Blondes to retain the Tag Titles</p><p> (100) Valiant Promo About Remo</p><p> (81) Remo d. Valiant to retain the SWF Title</p><p> </p><p> From here, Jack is going to feud with Eric Eisen, who is going through the company claiming he knows "what it takes to be Supreme" and showing up people who don't meet his standards. The Crippler put DeBones on the shelf, but they're going to face off at Supreme Challenge. I'm going to extend the Valiant/Remo feud at least 1 more month because the ratings are so good, usually high 90s for the angles, and Valiant has gained about 6 Overness across the US in the feud. Right now, here's what I've got booked (mentally) for Supreme Challenge:</p><p> </p><p> Jack Bruce vs. Remo (World Title)</p><p> Joey Morgan vs. Eric Eisen (North American Title)</p><p> Skull DeBones vs. The Crippler</p>

If need be, I usually change the Bumfhole's last name to Wolfe and call them The Wolves, but I don't do it in SWF.

Playing as SWF, I was building up Joey Morgan to be my new big deal, then in late February, on my B-Show, Valiant goes and pulls off a 100 rated promo about World Champ Remo in their time filler feud as I build towards Bruce/Remo at Supreme Challenge. Well now it might be a triple threat, because I'm starting to think Valiant is money. Trying to decide whether Valiant or Joey Morgan is going to be my new figurehead after Jack gets the boot for picking a fight with Richard Eisen. Tentative Card for SWF's March Event (name escapes me) Remo © vs. Valiant - SWF World Title -Remo probably wins, but this feud has serious legs. Jack Bruce vs. The Crippler - Last Man Standing -Jack's promos are so money and I love this feud. This probably has to be the last meeting though because repetitive booking penalty. Joey Morgan © vs. Brandon James - SWF North American Title -After losing his feud to Valiant, Brandon wanted money and money comes with gold. Joey goes over. American Machine vs. Eric Eisen -Eisen ended Machine's undefeated streak to start the year by interfering and costing him a match against Rogue. Eisen probably wins here, but Machine might get a boost. The Amazing Bumfholes vs. The Platinum Blondes vs. The Awesomeness - SWF Tag Team Titles -Platinum Blondes have been cutting promos in the 70's where I just had them talk about the tag division, so they get inserted into the title feud. Probably will be a 4 team match at Supreme Challenge also including either Hero Squad, The Enterprise (Monty Trescarde & Sammy Smoke) or Spencer Spade & Steven Parker. Also featured somehow: Skull DeBones, Rogue, Angry Gilmore, Jimmy Hernandez, Paul Huntingdon, Mikey Lau. -Jimmy & Mikey are both undefeated so far this year. Hernandez promos in the 70's, so I usually have him talk on every show about something or another. Huntingdon is in my owner goals (get him to 71 Overness), so he'll probably either go after Gilmore to try to elevate him, or squash some midcarder. DeBones might face Rogue, or just cut a promo. I'm know I'm not doing Rogue/Gilmore, but I'm not positive who they're going to face.

No flips, just fists. And double leg takedowns and amateur wrestling and submissino holds.

Here's hoping Tagan goes full FBI and arrests Scott for assault.

Threw together a mostly empty database to watch it get populated. Tentative start date is 1920 based on the old effganic data from I think TEW 2010. Because they need to be there to start with, the data has 2 workers (1 user character, 1 non) and 1 company. At the beginning of 1925, there are 9 companies, 699 eligible workers, and for the first time, a Wrestler of the Year was crowned. Some interesting notes: The trending product in Europe is Lucha Libre. Modern and Realism are Unpopular. Lucha Libre is also trending in Canada, where only 1 company has opened. They don't use Lucha Libre. Of the 9 promotions in the world, 3 are in the USA (all in New England), 4 are in Japan (all in different regions), 1 is in Canada and 1 is in Australia. Europe, Mexico and the British Isles are still lacking wrestling. No companies have gone under yet. In the first test, the starting company went under after a few years, but with 1.05 they're doing fine. Since coming into existence in August 1920, the one Canadian company, GCPW has won Company of the Year every year that there has been a winner.

A little disappointed about Riley. He looked alright when he split from Miz and then never went anywhere. And then was just starting to show a character down in NXT.

Jack Bruce got into a fight with Richard Eisen. I fined him and Richard wasn't happy, so I'm going with it and saying Jack has to be done as figurehead. So I'm planning my year and a half long push for Joey Morgan to take over as figurehead by Supreme Challenge 2017.
