Now I'm eight and a half years in. Same game from the demo (so it's been 19 months in real time for me.) I've become the number one company in the world. I finally passed USPW at the end of 2027. Company has almost one billion dollars (not kidding). Just a lot of putting on good shows, investing in my own broadcaster and slowly growing it, making screwed signings and then occasionally going for big free agents (I admittedly changed Rhodes' preference to flashy once we were making hand over fist in cash). Got my Merchandise to the highest (again it helps to build a lot of stars because you get a big boost in merch). I would say now I'm on my fifth generation of TCW in mine. First Gen: Andrews, Wolf Second Gen: Chord, Gino Montero, Might Mo Third: Gen: Kirk Jameson, Dreadnought, Flynn Fourth Gen: James Adams (High Flying Hawaiian), Ranger, Frankie-Boy Fernandez, Fifth (Current): Jack Jackson, Jaylon Martins, Cooper Christie, Turk, Bryan Jewett with Papa Swoll, Spencer Edmund and David Stone I still find the game engaging because one of the good problems to have is balancing your roster (I tend to have a big one) and then deciding who you elevate. For example, for the current gen, I've spent the last two years building around Martins, Christie and Jack Jackson. In the game, those three were proteges of Mighty Mo, Wolf & Aaron Andrews respectively. But yet, there's a flaw in all of them. Cooper has gotten to 81 Psych and can generally have great matches with whoever. He's only just turned 30 years old. But Charisma is at 70 and Mic toggles between 40 and 41. Jackson has 86 Mic and 78 Charisma. But Pysch has capped out at 73 and his highest wrestling skill, Brawling at 66, is capped. Martins has 84 Charisma, 62 Mic, 72 Brawling. But his Pysch is at 79. So it's been interesting having to make judgement calls and at times scrap my plans and adjust. Like Turk just quietly becoming an elite worker (consistently scores 90 in ring rating regardless of match, 84 Pysch, 77 Charisma) and pushing through all three of said guys.

The accept, deny, negotiate option sounds great. Didn't even think of that.

I have no idea if this has been suggested and if so, I'm sorry. But I've been thinking about this for a bit and I'm curious to know what people think about this. So obviously when you have relationships with other companies (or if you're in an alliance) you can use their wrestlers and they can loan out yours. However, one thing I notice is one of my top guys going to a promotion (let's say Wolf Hawkins gets loaned out to ZEN) and he drops a fall on that show. In my mind, I feel like TCW would be protection over how Wolf is used and honestly, vice versa. Perhaps a better example would be if I'm CWA and I'm loaning Seiji Jimbo from PGHW. I would like to think PGHW wouldn't want their guy losing or at least if they do, to a top guy. So basically, what I was thinking is perhaps throwing a wrinkle where you can kinda "control" how your guys are going to be used when they're loaned out. And when you use someone else's wrestlings, that company could mention "we don't want this guy to take a clean pinfall" or something like that. Maybe there could be a system where both companies can negotiate how said talent can be used. Don't know if that made sense but that's what I was thinking about.

Yeah I'm now officially five years into my TCW game. I'm still playing the first save I've had from the demo. And yes, Chord is incredible and you can definitely argue that he's the best wrestler in the game. He's a guarantee 90 if the matches goes longer than 10 minutes.

Just like TEW2016, with TCW, depending on destiny rolls, people are going to get snatched up. I'm on Year 4 of my TCW save that I've mentioned on here(which I've still been keeping up with since the demo came out) and I'm still getting people snatched by UPSW. They took T-Bone, Danielle Sweetheart and Foxxy LaRue from me and almost took Higa, Andrews and Edd. That's even after now making 15 mil a month and editing Kyle Rhodes to not be cheap. Although with that said, I can afford to let these guys get poached because I have a lot of people with good SQ stocked up. Which is very, very, very important for TCW. Always look for people with high SQ and sign them long term. Prioritize the people you would actually want to fight to keep. As I found in TEW2016, there's found money going after the SWF and UPSW young prospects. Cooper Christie, Jack Jackson, Roderick Flack, Zeke, Hellion, Rocky Weatherford, Stevie Stanley, Whole Lotta Marvin, etc. You can scoop them up easily if you add more years and merch cut and develop them into guys that can be useful. It takes time in this game but when you get them going, you'll benefit greatly from it.

Can't help but have a massive roster. In my TCW game where I'm in November of 2023, I have 108 people on the main roster. Plus, I have two development companies, people I send on excursion or NYCW. So I find it hard to trim my roster when it gets really big. I think I also struggle with gradually fazing people down as I elevate people, if that makes sense. I get really worried about workers complaining about losing to someone of lower popularity that I end up with at least 20 people who are at star level popularity. Which is a good problem, but a problem regardless.

Need a team name for HalloWarped & Commander Kawagishi. They're an occasion junior heavyweight team in the main heel unit in BHOTWG.

T-Bone had a cap at 70 for a year but I saw that he's starting to rise in popularity. Mo had a cap of 76 and is now up by 1 as of last month. Curious to see if anyone playing long saves are starting to see some of these caps rise.

Katya is awesome. I definitely vouch for that. I like Spencer Edmund is an intriguing prospect with good SQ. Shout to Cooper Christie in UPSW. He's someone if you're TCW or SWF is worth bidding for as he's young, great SQ and you can probably get him.

I should mention in my game, for a full year Greg Gauge was stuck on 70 in pop and I was resigned to just pushing him as a second tier guy. Up until about three months ago (I'm currently in July 2022.) His pop in the last three months has gone up to 82. So, like the editor says, it is possible that eventually, the cap will rise as I'me seeing currently.

I had signed Samoan Pit Bulls and same thing happened to me. Toma got popped twice, so I released him. Akima, however, has produced solid mid card grades and I've kept him. Solid, underrated plug and play guy.

I started with 10 women; 5 faces and 5 heels. And I just put them on the A-show. I took penalties for the crowd not knowing them but I just went with it. I also paired some of the women with stables; Becca Barton in Sinner society and Higa in the Syndicate. This helped a lot in building their popularity. Barton was the first to reach Recognizable level around August of 2020 and after that, I've been good ever seen. I'm now in March of 2022 and Higa, now leader of the former Syndicate, is 80 across the board popularity. It took a while and a lot of trial an error but this game does reward you for putting in a lot of work early on with building momentum, putting them in segs, etc, etc.

Recently I ascribe to the idea that you would want all your titles to make money. It was one of the reasons after Total Mayhem I gave the Tag titles to Doc and Wolf. I don't want to burn through World title matches every PPV and the Tag Team titles are a good way to cycle my top guys out of the World title picture while giving them something to do. With the TV title, as I mentioned previously, I've used it as the T-Bone belt and he's risen in popularity. 18 combined defenses and was champion for nine of the twelve months. I actually like the idea of the TV title. For me, it's defended on TV every two weeks. 20 minute time limit. Can be defended on PPVs depending on feuds. Can cycle through lower end, mid card or even top tier guys depending on the champion. I also don't have an authority figure but a "competition committee." Which is really TCW management but they determine who gets title shots, explain why certain people got title shots. Having Jason Azaria be the person who relays information and what not (it's a good use for him as he has good microphone skills and if he's getting phased out of announcing, he still has a use being an interviewer, etc).
