http://i.imgur.com/JiBrtvZ.png?1 End of Year Six - Regional is close, I can taste it - I can't wait any longer. More sponsorship and more importantly, better workers to bring in. - Matty Faith was a godsend. He's just been tearing it up for me, his last few matches have been over 90 (he rivals my UC for popularity). - RIPW and NYCW are both hostile towards me - Industry and Economy look to be reaching the highest they've ever been, a nice change. - I'm now able to hold two shows a month a still make a profit. UC as figurehead since El Mitico left is working well. Attendances up 8% and Merch up by 30% Year 7 Goals - REGIONAL. So close yet so far, I've missed too many opportunities at booking jobs that would help Marc immensely (looking at you TCW and BHOTPW). - Bring in a couple of talented workers to help improve my UC. Rolled 53, which isn't a bad role except that my UC already had 99 SQ and the extra 1 won't help terribly. 9 to Acting is nice but it's incredibly easy to train up (I'm going up by 8-12 per year as it is). Really could do with a Top Row stat increase though End of Year Rolls 1. (15) "+20 to your steroid use checkbox" 2. (44) "Go up one level of weight class or body type. 3.

<p>Just had NYCW declare hostility towards me. No idea why since I'm still small and run out of Great Lakes but I'm guess it's due to the Regional Battles that I'm drawn into? (Importance spilled over into the Tri-State is now over 11, which I guessing draws me into that mess?).</p><p> </p><p> Doesn't matter since my shows are better than anything they can put out despite them being regional.</p>

<p><span>http://i.imgur.com/gto5556.png?1</span></p><p> </p><p> Trudging through towards Regional and managed to top Marc's best match. UC's pulling his weight too <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> .

http://i.imgur.com/PxzpUxB.png?1 End of Year Five - It finally happened, lost El Mitico Jr. TCW came in and swooped him, looking to rebound in the National Battles. Worse yet is that they also stole Sunny Wildside - who I had picked up years ago and built up as the replacement for when El Mitico would inevitably be taken. He actually got to 90 pop in Great Lakes and was primed for a World Title feud. That one hurt the most. - Only managed to run 7 shows this year, the Economy and Industry was so bad that the only way I would break even is if I sold the show out (which I did last 4 months) or I pissed off 80% of the roster. Economy and Industry are on the rebound now so hopefully I can get to Regional finally. - Picked up Matty Faith who was released from SWF (became an incredible worker). WCCW needs a little bit of faith atm. - UC didn't even make it onto the Power 500. Shows how little events we held. Year 6 Goals - Get to Regional, please. Rolled 26, which is ok-ish. Added all 10 to Power since I don't need more stamina. End of Year Rolls 1. (15) "+20 to your steroid use checkbox" 2. (44) "Go up one level of weight class or body type. 3.

http://i.imgur.com/QEsAHCj.png?1 End of Year Five - Crashing Economy and Industry hit it's full swing, so I had to drop a few shows to avoid going into red - which wouldn't be a bad thing if it wasn't against my Owner's Goals. My Owner's Critical Goal. (Noted that I had failed one earlier so I couldn't afford to risk it). - UC grew leaps and bounds... as an entertainer. Literally any angle he's in will be 94/95 minimum. Sitting at mid 80's Pop and 91 charisma is just ratings. Decent enough to carry matches but still needs alot of work. - UC landed 372 on the Power 500 (down from 318 year prior). - I'm certain my Face Performance is capped at 80, and my Heel is capped at 96. So it's even more certain that I won't be a figurehead anytime soon, despite my SQ and Charisma. Year 6 Goals - Get to Regional - Get to 70 in Mic + Acting - Start running several shows per month when the Economy rebounds. Rolled 7, which is useless seeming that I only had 2 women on the roster. Hailey Buck who's been there for 3 years doing mic training and Marina Del Ray, who after being ignored initially due to her being a cancer backstage, but hired eventually due to seeing "X is tipped for success ect" about her a few times - she ended up with Awesome Chemistry when managing Amazing Firefly. Who's UC has two thumbs and now stuck to a backstage cancer I really wish I could roll a 16, 29 or 30. Just hammer it into my UC's Selling and Psychology. Maybe next year. End of Year Rolls 1.

Great worker, below average entertainment - the perfect foil for my UC. He'll train my UC's top (he's roughly got 70 in each) and help his Psych + Selling and I'll improve his Entertainment skills. He's already agreed to go to Light Heavyweight so it'll buff his SQ to 70. Edit 2: After 2 shows, "Vardon Martel" (Chill) has gone from 39 to 64 pop in Great Lakes and his One Percent gimmick is almost Legendary.

Gimmick ratings don't improve organically, that's why sadly

Congrats Using the 97 verse? How did you manage to get to a Nation in 6 years? Keep jumping promotions?. Anyway I'm impressed?

http://i.imgur.com/5ESKYPe.png?1 End of Year Four - Started getting raided by SWF. I lost 3 future Main Eventers in Xavi Ferrar, Logan Wolfsbane and Ernest Youngman to development deals. - Dragon Takano finally left to go back to Japan - I've had to rely more and more on my UC, which is scary since while is is popular he's still pretty dire in the ring. - I fear that both Austin Smooth and El Mitico have reached their Pop Caps (68 & 76 respectively) - Had a bit of luck with Tag Team chemistry this year, found 3 excellent/great teams. - Money has fluctuated this year with the patches. Patch 1.04 was ok, patch 1.05 was ridiculous and patch 1.06 is crushing. I've gone from 38k to just 2k in the last 2 months which hurts but it's manageable. Just got to get to Regional. - Industry and Economy mid-crash again :/ Year 5 Goals - Hammer towards Regional - Keep El Mitico - Avoid hemorrhaging money Rolled 44, again Size increase doesn't do much for me. Not that I hate the roll it's just I rather increase later on in my career. Really need to get those skill increase rolls soon or else my UC's going to struggle (especially if El Mitico is taken).

Marc Roberts (World Class Championship Wrestling - Small) Game date: May 2019 Best UC Match so far: A with Austin Smooth vs Boriken Love Machine Jr * El Mitico Jr (September 2018)

http://i.imgur.com/CYTyzwy.png?1 End of Year Three - Finally got to Small, no small part due my my ME pumping out mid 80's to 90+ angles. - We won the "Most Improved Company Of The Year", which is a great platform for our biggest year ahead. - PGHW is gone - leaving a massive amount of talent in Japan for BHOTWG and WLW to inherit - Champagne Lover is gone, Scandal has him labelled toxic and out of SOTBPW. Luckily the them they had a ready figurehead in Nicky Champion, whom they stole earlier in the year. - Rich Money finally took the USPW title off Steve Frehley, who had a 3 year, 28 defence reign. They also feature the oddly awesome tag champions of Jim Force and a declining Sean McFly - Troy Tornado is the TCW Champion and is presumingly keeping it warm for the returning Sammy Bach. - SWF currently headlined by two feuds: Golden vs Bruce and SWF Champion Angry Gilmore vs Frederique Antonio Garcia. Garcia, having a career year (2018 Veteran of the Year too) was surprising. We had a bunch of our guys in the Top 500: (197) El Mitico Jr (216) Logan Wolfsbane (244) Austin Smooth (245) Gidayu Katou (259) Boriken Love Machine Jr (329) Xavi Ferrara (356) Ernest Youngman (365) Marc Roberts (426 year before) (414) Dragon Takano (449) American Elemental II Some of these guys I can't take credit for, couple being with PGHW before it folded. Year 4 Goals - Hammer towards Regional, hopefully be popular enough to lure Champagne Lover (I can dream ) - Keep El Mitico at all costs - No Steroid scandals Rolled 33, "Make Over Time". Usually I like this reward but considering how dire UC's ring skills I would of preferred a Top Row skill increase or Performance instead. SQ is nice but the difference won't do alot since it was high already. Also found my first capped stat. Athleticism capped at 41 is disappointing, but not deal breaking. Nearly had a heart attack when my Selling was stuck at 65 for 6 months, just ticking over in November. (Only gone up 6pts in 3 years ) End of Year Rolls 1. (15) "+20 to your steroid use checkbox" 2.

Have all the intentions to. He's one of my Next Big Things, good in the ring, paired up with the hottest act in the company and got friends in the right places. Just got to take it slow since I don't want him to get lost in the shuffle or worse turn the locker room against me

http://i.imgur.com/JfWat7D.png?1 3 Parts Meddling, 8 Parts Clique building. Being friends with 75% of the roster is concerning (especially since it includes my 4 ME's). Just hoping it doesn't turn against me.

First a 97 for the opening promo, and a 91 in the main event. (Even the weak link counts <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> )</p><p> </p><p> Both storylines involved are running white hot, the industry is booming so I can afford all of my Main Events on one card at a time and having both Mitico Jr (my figurehead) and Austin Smooth with legendary gimmicks helps. Austin's been a monster in angles, he's well and truly over-preforming what his stats suggest and El Mitico is by far the best wrestler on my roster (even in a workrate promotion).</p><p> </p><p> Just got to do this at National now...</p>

http://i.imgur.com/Env2ezs.png?1 Something weird, I've hired Avalanche Takano aware that in a 1 or 2 years he would be finishing his excursion and heading back to Japan. Time comes and I offer a contract, naturally he declines (I figured) so I prepare everything for when he leaves and this happens.... My Owner personally extends his contract, seeming overriding his decision leave and head to Japan. Not sure if that's a glitch or just an awesome boss stepping in

http://i.imgur.com/Add24Ik.png?1 End of Year Two - Rough Year, money issues limited my growth, still Local :/ - TCW's been completely devastated. No Hawkins, Golden, AA, Chord and Bach out for the year with a shattered elbow. - SWF's back on top - lead by Bruce, Golden, Hawkins and a heel Angry Gilmore champion. Then Richard Eisen died, leaving Eric to inherit but is also out with a shattered elbow (common injury ) - UC's up to 61 pop in his home area and is starting a main event Heel run. - Rolled 44 for the yearly roll, so he bulks up to Middleweight. Good for his entertainment, awful for his average skills. Year 3 Goals - Get to Small! - Don't get caught for steroids, always. - Try get a top row skill to 55-60. End of Year Rolls 1. (15) "+20 to your steroid use checkbox" 2. (44) "Go up one level of weight class or body type."

If your guy gets ripped, you're not Cena - you're Hogan brother. He'll have the personality down too.

1. You don't have to assign someone, since someone will eventually become the owner within a week. Best thing is that in most cases they'll work for free (despie their contract, it'll say on your personal assistant) until your company is more financially healthy. 2. As K-Nection said, you may need to have a larger roster but you don't have to use them. Think like it's a sports team - you have your stars that make up your team and that everyone knows, but they'll command more $$$. You'll have a few role players/prospects that fill a spot or speciality and the rest are bench sitters, there'll there for the spot and are interchangeable. 3+4. Your company's first year has a 1 year grace period where they can't go bankrupt. Some players hammer out 2-4 shows per month to try hammer it to small but relies on the Economy and Industry to be good/decent. Don't be afraid of taking a month or two off to recoup money 5. There's no "wrong" way in product. Your analyst will tell you what your fans expect from your product. More mainstream? Gimmicks and Popularity. Purist? Workrate and limited angles away from the ring. Underground? Violence and Risque ect. Each style has its advantages and disadvantages but it's your experience, so book around how you want

Picked up a few tricks from MMA Jk, look at it as a kickstart to your 2nd goal, you'll be ripped in no time.

I think you're forced to leave alliances when you hit National? I'll have to check but I'm sure that was a feature. As for DeColt, kind of a sad ending but at least he could come back as a Personality? Would be phemonial with his skills and pop. Another point, is it possible to coax someone back from retirement? Pressuming they're in good condition and not out of the business.
