  1. That's actually a graphical mod that replaces the number icons with ones that have the grades too.

His ring name is a big of an ironic nod to his father's size, as Tana Jr is still a pretty big guy, wearing a lot of muscle on his 270 lb frame. He trained at the War Camp, graduating in 2020, and seems to have a lot of potential. In particular he has inherited his dad's charisma whilst simultaneously being a far better athlete than his father could ever hope to be.</div></blockquote>
  5. With starting injuries, does the permanent damage apply when they return or immediately? I don't wanna double whammy someone.
  6. Has anyone come out as LGBT in 2016 (or 2013 I suppose) who wasn't denoted as such previously? It's an absolute pain to check unless it's been spelled out in their biographies.
  7. Year three is in the books, and a heck of a year it was. As shown above, OLLIE's owner died midyear, and was succeeded by Joaquin Soler. I'd been intermittently taking punts on each job that came up, and genuinely wasn't expecting anything to come of it, but apparently bookers in Mexico are few and far between at the moment... In any case, we headed to OLLIE and things took off. Tons of talent available, and we were in a position to get TV immediately. Of course, it wasn't all sunshine and roses, because I inherited that unholy hell of a locker room I showed before. Manny proceeded to go on a spree of both hirings and firings. By the time the dust settled, the two worst influences had been sacked, and two more negatives had quit out of anger (Manny's relationship panel is kind of carnage right now). Maximo Energia got canned for showing up high. Arturo Ramirez managed to survive by being adopted by Oceano. We're up to 84% now, and that's with some people getting into fights and Manny and Tom Gilmore being mad at each other. Of course as the diplomat he is, Manuia's response has been to rib everyone (including an elaborate scheme on El Guerro Atomico which everyone except him thought was hilarious). OLLIE's been really fun to book; I've got next to no experience of Mexico so it was a heck of a learning experience. Soler let me add a women's division right away, then proceeded to remove all the mainstream from the product so we've wound up becoming Perf >> Pop all of a sudden. El Bandido is our marquee guy right now but the roster is loaded with talent. We have (but are not limited to) Luis Montero, Marcos Flores, Phoenix, Soul Taker, El Demonio, Superfly and Nicolas Lopez. Bonus; women's wrestler of the year was Miyuki Miharu, a CV97 joshi worker who only worked for me all year, so that was a pretty cool result. A huge chunk of our workers are on the power 500 too;52 wrestlers finished the year in OLLIE and were on the list. We peak at 51 with El Bandido. Manny was #134. - On a personal level it's been a really really good year. Working more dates with more talented workers has done wonders for Manny's abilities, and he's even started to get the 'carried the match' note from the road agent on occasion. He's been allied with the Phoenix boys, resulting in a pretty formidable chemistry setup, as II has chemistry with Manny and I, whilst Manny has chemistry managing I. The top rows have shot up like absolute crazy as a result, and the performance row isn't looking too shabby either. So that's 13-14 points in every top row except brawling, about the same in the entertainment row, and 5+ in most of the performance stats. (reputation took a dink for inflicting a small injury on Gilmore) And finally, drumroll... 1997 34. “Healing Hands” Over the holiday season you book yourself in for several massages and physio appointments. +7.5 to all Physical Condition. 1998 31. “Solid? Liquid? Gas?” You have devoted your holiday season to training in the ring +5 to your Consistency skill 1999 50. "Keeping It In The Family" Create a younger sibling wrestler aged 17 (same 750 skill point split). If you are over 32 treat this as a son/daughter. Which means introducing Manuia's kid brother, Afa! -- Looking forward to the new millennium and what it'll have in store for the Kaulu brothers and OLLIE...

  18. I'm pretty impressed by that method honestly. I'm vanishingly cautious so I don't like spamming shows that way, but perhaps that's just me being old school with it. My classic 0/0/0/0 took 9 years to hit National. Not finished another year yet but Eddie Peak is managing A grade menace angles with E overness. I am a little terrified.

  20. <p>Started making money in Year Two with the industry and economy peaking. Might move to two shows a month to start really pushing the growth.</p><p> </p><p> NOTBPW, 5SSW and GCG all died, which is both alarming and kind of disappointing. HGC picked up Alex and Steve DeColt and Dan Stone prior to this so they'd be having a great time if they hadn't randomly put their title on Larry Vessey then Teddy Flame. Sam Strong finally won the big one in 1998 and then immediately suffered a sternum injury.</p><p> </p><p> Roster's stayed similar but having money means I might bring in a few more dudes. Teddy Powell has been on the unemployment list but my fans don't like cruisers so not sure if he'd be worthwhile.

We've had a couple D+ shows which has been awesome for our size. Eddie Peak picked up our Soul of Texas tourney title (as Tom Gilmore, the holder, got injured), but then lost the Lone Star main title in October to my user character, mostly to freshen up the main event since Eddie has bad chemistry with literally every face except Gilmore. don't anticipate holding it too deeply into 1999.</p><p> </p><p> Cherry Bomb took the Ladies' title off Sonia Lopez. They might trade it back and forth, haven't decided; they're head and shoulders my best women's wrestlers and arguably two of our best wrestlers full stop.</p><p> </p><p> Brought a declined and unemployed Rick Horn in on a oneshot to lose to Eddie Peak. He got mad but hey, oneshot deal and probably a cool moment for the Texan fans. Also had JD Morgan for a oneshot first title defence but it wasn't as good as it could have been because he turned up steaming drunk. Manu got annoyed.</p><p> </p><p> Went up a weight class to lightweight towards the end of the year, which went through on January 1st. Bumped me up 6 points in star quality and a fair bit of the physical stats too.</p><p> </p><p> Henry Bennett is annoyed with me for not increasing his pay and so is Doug.

  21. That is good to know. I've seen some of the news stories about workers getting shredded or gaining weight, but I was hoping to simulate my RTG worker getting bigger as he physically matured. (since he started as skinny small)
