Mickey Robson says hi.

We are putting on some third-class shows, and the industry IS A TWO. And by "third-class" I mean not the grand epics of the larger companies, and not their best efforts, but akin to SWF on an eh day. We're pulling some 80-plus rated shows, and the industry IS A TWO

OH COME ON MORE. I rejected. He is now merely "happy", and I better keep on his post-match conversations.

Oh, new animal guy. Teams neutrally with Astonish Beetle. Ooooo Devilfish is a fish! OH COME ON

I need to increase our India coverage; I think that's what's limiting our India growth. I think. Economy's 26 and rising; Industry is 4 AND FALLING so maybe that's the issue.

Mah girlfriend is filming an extended cameo on tv for a couple of months.

Part two of wrong names:

So, Tight Focus is broken. Only two angles contribute to the angle rating. 2. Which is, for me, 30-40 minutes. WHICH ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF AT LEAST ON TV. BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Genuine. Literal. Spit-take.

Given that you get a bonus for having a strong start, matches like this (Dragon's still a bit inexperienced!) are why Main Event Focus is trash. I'm switching mid-show to three-ring, as I tend to have two great matches and at least one okay one. Ensemble might do better with the 40/40 split (instead of 33/33/33), but that last 20 % includes the Comedy match. I could run the numbers, but given that I don't know what the Ensemble bonus is, and that I don't care that much, idc. Main Event was 75. And I can do 20 minute entertainments yay

Switched to Tight Focus on angles; while that should lower my show grade, it allows me to use unpopular workers. Also, I'm trying to do a 30-minute Entertainment angle woooo I have what, 85 microphone? 20 minutes it is! (73-rated show)

Multiple broken records here. Best show, best match...I might need to add 30 minutes to my shows. 29. “Golden boy” You can’t put a foot wrong in the ring at the moment, add “Midas Touch” to your attributes 30. “Casting Call" You have been cast in a small TV show, next stop Hollywood! +10 points to spend across Charisma and Acting. Also add TV Actor to Misc for your character. If previously your character had "TV Actor" add "Movie Star" I'll pass due to Acting not mattering, but it's tempting. 47. "It's not the size of the dog, it's the size of the fight" You now like fighting from underneath, add "Plays Weasely/Underdog Well" and “Giving Performer” to your attributes Giving performer isn't bad, and this moves me closer to "Amazing Babyface". That said, nu. 26. “If you smeeeeeeeeeeelll!!” That new catchphrase of yours has really caught on, you heard someone in the street say it! Add “Hot New Catchphrase” to your attributes I literally have this right now, baka ("baka" is my catchphrase) 34. “Pain is weakness leaving the body” Your match performance is not affected as much by injury because you are a tough SOB. Add ‘High Pain Threshold to you character. Add +10 points across Resilience and Toughness I don't want to work while injured. 16. “Hit The Bricks” You live in the gym. +20 to spend on physical skills. (Athleticism, Toughness, Stamina, Power) Not only is Stamina the only thing I would care about, I can't have a penalty-less match more than 15 minutes anyway. 23. “Quick Learner” You suddenly have an eureka moment in the ring +10 to Experience Skill Irrelevant (aside from me getting Prodigy from when I got this last time. 11. “Nose To The Grindstone” You have devoted yourself to training in the ring +10 any Primary skill of your choice FINALLY MORE TECHNICAL MAYBE I CAN SLOW BUILD NOW

Oh, the last show before we change styles. Well. Nothing of value was lost. Osprey broke his neck or something early in the save, and he's fine. I gave him a hug post-show. He seemed pleased.

f Like. She's not any good as a wrestler she's burying you tonight, idiot aw he doesn't want to be buried Anyway Anyway, Anyway there we go. Anyway, you can do something that I don't know what happens if you make a 1v1 matchup a Once in a Lifetime match before choosing the participants. It let's you save it. WHY

Ah. It only shows those that could be hired in that region, but yes, that works...decently. It's still annoying that I can search the game world for it without that screen (incidentally, Mr. Vibert was not active in Japan).

No. I was looking to hire someone to then be a booker for developmental. It doesn't seem like I can sort by that skill.

I didn't injure him-oh. I didn't injure him, BUT How? I bet 15-minute main event would have been 65. Dang. Also, he cracked his ribs, which hilariously prevented any other injuries, I guess.

1. Wolf Hawkins vs. PETR NOVAK got a 100. In a Cage. wut 2. Wrestleworld India exists. TOO BAD IT SUCKS. Double developmental lul Shooter Sean Deeley wanted a raise. From $30 to LIKE $2,000. So I'm injuring him (ha ha NYCW) on the way to him quitting.

Admittedly, could go into Small Questions, but: I'm 30 pop in North India. Got Very Small coverage there (and Tiny the world over). Four yearly events each month, and a tv show. So 8 shows/month. They're anywhere from 50-60 rating. Yet sometimes I only improve in 53 regions, not the full 56. I don't get a note about the size of coverage post show. I'm just confused why my popularity seems stunted, and why it wouldn't apply to every region, given that I'm seen everywhere. I know there's Organic Growth, but that seems to be related to the maximum popularity gain for a show for any specific region; I'm not getting any growth, so that shouldn't be relevant. I know that there's the monthly limit to growth, which I guess is what I'm running into, which has to do with the fact that I'm Tiny, right? So if I can only get...1 popularity per region per month, say, then once I'm Small I could get 2 popularity a month (arbitrary numbers)? Which still doesn't explain why I get popular everywhere else...unless...I'm getting more people to watch in India and thus I'm hitting the monthly cap faster, I guess? ish? Still, not getting any red text post-show is weird.

Ultra Spark Jr's description mentions an "opportunityin" wrestling.

I have a go-to catchphrase on the mike now. That is hilarious. ex. I get from ~mid-80s to 100 on any solo segment. Maybe 75-100? Point is. lul

MWGP is Medium. Aug 2020-Feb 2024 is how long it took. So...yeah. I'm annoyed.

Bit of an annoyance with the Organic Growth thingy. I can't hit Small earlier than like...5, maybe 6 months. Can't happen. And MEDIUM? 24 more points, probably a year and...most of one. At least. It's...then BIG is 83 pop? Another 2 years! It's just...more shows doesn't help. Meh. MEH I SAY

btw Joffy Laine is Loyal to me. /sigh And he's Hugh Ancrie's friend, so I'm going to job him out the "not getting me murdered outside the arena" way. Valiant won, I believe dominantly, over me. I then had another match with Double J Jeff Jarnderson and like 8 angles. No pop loss for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
