MWGP has a new booker. I don't know why, but they deffo didn't have an owner change. #Shouldn'tHaveLeft Oh! And the Massive/Stones engagement is now a marriage!

Well, the Too Cool Royal Rumble was in 2000, so like...

By the way, a rough guide to how much popularity gain to increase a match rating for that wrestler? It's...well, I overcomplicated it, but assuming that matches are graded...30% pop, 70% match rating. If I want to increase someone's contribution (their match grade) by...5 points? 5 * (100/30) = 50/3 ~= 17 popularity. Or, for me at 40%, it's 5 * (100/40) = 50/4 ~= 12 popularity (12.5 but whatevs). So yeah, that's...cute. It also means that we know what a person's floor is, ignoring stuff like inconsistency, given 100 popularity. It's the popularity ratio for matches. So, in my product that's 40-60%, at max popularity it should be impossible to score under a 60. Woo!

Goth Rikishi:

I'm editing YEPW down $1,000, as the trick worked, but it did nothing. Also also, why has it been months since a non-regen debuted? wait wait wait Does the database already know the rangens it will generate? What even is that move? And he's Goth? HE'S BASED IN THE MID SOUTH? I believe Tommy Cornell Jr. is the last pre-generated person in the database. That's in March of 2025. That seems really lazy imo.

I think that the sponsorship dirty trick only works near the end of the month, as YEPW didn't noticeably dip.

by the dubs:

What are you when ya gotta judge your peer? Injury

APW coming for Jared Johnson. I'm keeping him for ~$19,000/month, 10% event bonus, as an icon. Or, y'know, just send him to developmental idk. 44-year-old Double J is gonna not be good, though. On the plus side, NYCW won't get to have him either SO NYAH Edit: APW and CZCW are offering him $45,310/month. I'm $19,840, and as an icon, for 10 years. lul.

WHY

Wait WHAT WHY How the WHY DID I NOT CHOOSE A WINNER They're not even an official team!

I can't hire Psychopaths now.

So, I failed to sabotage YEPW. Reroll time. What's this in my emails: Oh no Edit: After savescumming, there are different people they're grabbing, but all the contracts are handshakes. So that's awesome for me and their popularity. oh right oh no what happen

Mutant is not rusty anymore. BUT HE DOES HAVE CHRONIC UPPER BACK PAIN THANKS PARIS MONSON also the main event was only a 79 ._.

btw, that's the prediction challenge; I'm not going to set a winner for that 4-way.

MAN IT'S COOL THAT DEVILFISH HAS A HOT NEW MOVE GOD DA I mean, kewl main event

So Hugh's also Written, $35,400/month. And YEPW should be in debt in like 2 months. So things aren't going well-well, but well. I'm also kicking out Joshua Taylor and Miss American Pie after this month to save a few thousand. Yoyoyo Storm Badger just broke his wrist after two shows coming off of another injury lol usuk

fffffffWAIT THAT'S THE WRONG COMPANY OH COME ON nevermind

A bit of a Written Update: Usually, Written contracts are not worth it. I have 12 shows/month, so if the Written asked-for is less than 12-times their per-event, then Written is a great idea. Assuming that I don't do a Written per-show deal, which...you can? And assuming that I want to use someone on each show. I've lost a few developmental people to other companies; I tend to be okay with that, as 1: They're developmental 2: Are going to improve, but not on my dime! Howevre [sic][#French], APW wanted to get Cam Jones for 3 YEARS. So I am overpaying him like $40k/month for 10 years to stay. Now, I know what you're thinking: WHY THE HECK 10 YEARS HE'S GOING TO BE 45 AND TERRIBLE! And my answer is: Do I have balls or no? DO I GOT BALLS OR NO? That's what I thought. To be clear, this means that the smarter thing would be to give as short as possible a contract to guarantee he chooses me, or maybe 5 years if I'm generous. But don't let toxic masculinity me hear I said that. Anyway, iirc Sterling Whitlock was financially smart to lock down (not for 10 years tho) and Seung Sun was not, but mah boi was mad at 2 refusals of a pay raise so

So, bit of an update on ye olde Written Contracts front: As I've pointed out possibly in my head oh shoot D&D is starting gotta go.

Y'know, I could get Ryan GIbson and Lee Richard in, call them "Nighttime Express" aka "Sleepytime Junction" thanks Dan Avidan and have them feud with Evening Express and The Dynamite Express

What's your name? Starts to speak IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR Winters ...It doesn't matter what your Alyx Winters yoyoyo! welp

As opposed to Maniac Wrestling Grand Prix, MWGP. It is my goal to kill this company (also, CWW is small!) Also, Gino Montero's in the movies lul good figurehead lul

I think Epics are like Tech Masterclasses. Spectacle might have to be built to?

I can't savescum around this. Incidentally, he was going to have a promo next. I... HE HAD AN 80 RING PERFORMANCE. OF COURSE I MISTIMED! New rule: 2 segments between comedy and main event. Not three. woooo yay i don't care
