1935 report 100 years of (Wrestling) Solitude - 1935 Report El Espiritu wins again and the troubles mount up for VLL. Three new companies: United Womens Wrestling in California, Lucha Revolutionaria de Yucatan in Yucatan and Ring Warriors Wrestling Group in Sweden. Two major flashpoints appear to be forming: the East Coast Wars between SPW, CSW, CWB and FNP. All can now offer exclusive contracts, expect wages to rise as talent get snapped up. In Mexico, the Lucha War is imminent. Mister Peacock of SELL is spending like a drunken sailor on talent. And in sad news Queensland Wrestling owner Keith Laboy perishes driving his Italian sports car way too fast.

15 years in, some observations I love this game. If someone can point out a similar database based game with even close to this level of depth, immersion and adaptability I would buy it cold. However I do have some observations about the AI: I have stopped commenting about promotions finances because it is almost irrelevant, beyond going bust. Nearly every organisation is sitting on millions and doing nothing with it. IMO most of the medium level companies could benefit from better tv partnerships and a development strategy. At any one time 3-4 businesses are missing a head booker, should I intervene and open up dojos, performance centres and development companies? Small companies seem to pick radio stations at random, regardless of whether they will help them grow to medium. SPW in particular has been hamstrung by broadcasting for years on tristate radio which does not help them grow. The effganics mod is desperately short of road agents. I gather that to become a road agent ideally you need 65 psych, 70 experience and 70 respect alongside a stalwart or professional personality. These days i automatically change the personality of any veteran to professional or stalwart if they tick the psych and experience boxes, but how do you get respect above 50? I am going to take a more interventionist approach to help some of the mediums get up to big, by doing some more aggressive investments on their behalf. What's the point of $50 million in the bank if you dont actually use it? One final point: When do regional battles start? Or I have missed something?

1934 report 100 years of (Wrestling) Solitude - 1934 Report 1934 sees the start of the reign of El Espiritu. It seems likely that he will be the dominant wrestler for the rest of the decade. He is carrying both CSW and CWB to glory. He is nominally part of SPW but in name only, he hasn't wrestled for them at all. Frank Norris Promotions eclipses his mentor and overtakes SPW. There can be little doubt that Don Loomis is past it and Joe Boone wasn't that sharp to start with. However they had $15 million embezzled by their accountants.

1931 report 100 years of (Wrestling) Solitude - 1931 Report Scandal! It was a black friday indeed when El Espiritu, Emilio Suarez, was busted by the federales in a drug dealing operation. A combination of a great defence lawyer and a lenient judge left him with a fine rather than hard time but even so he is now officially TOXIC to the wrestling world for the foreseeable future. Viva La Lucha immediately fired El Espiritu and appointed Chairman X as the new head booker (a user generated low grade owner/booker who can work anywhere). Unfortunately Paco Acuna also left at the same time and without their stars VLL tumbled back down to small size. A disastrous year for VLL. Daniel Loiselle is now 41 and his body is letting him down. He can still turn out a 75 match against Savage Serge but his era of being the major star appears to be over. Sir Anthony Henry is now 43 but he is still putting in the effort.

1930 report 100 years of (Wrestling) Solitude - 1930 Report 1930 saw a great mystery solved and a new one develop. Queensland Wrestling Keith Laboy always seemed unconcerned about the viability of his promotion and in February we found out why. He inherited $25 million dollars ($10 million after taxes and miscellaneous) and QW and can now sputter along at their own tortoise like pace. The bigger mystery is why has Daniel Loiselle stopped wrestling? He only wrestled four indie matches all year and none at all for QCW. Rumours abound: he has fallen out of love with the business, he is in love, he has had a breakdown, he needs a break... no one seems to know. Indeed very few people in the QCW have actually seen him this year, they just receive schedules for each show pinned on the locker room door. I better investigate...

1927 diary "The Watchers" Diary, 1927 The birth of KINKI (6th) Saita Kuroki returned to the land of his birth to open the first promotion in Japan. Kinki operate a strong puroresu style and given the quality of worker available, a good strong start from KINKI was inevitable. I don't remember too much about my trip to the land of the rising sun other than the sake was wonderful. The birth of CWB (9th) The fourth American promotion and second based in the tri state area. it is really reaping the benefit of all the experienced pros with previous big promotion experience. Buffalo is not a great place to stay, i was so bored that i even pranked the guys that their fried chicken were tiny buffalo wings. Rest of the Promotions Another year of stagnation for SPW. VLL made it to Medium Size. It's only a matter of time now before they become number one. QCW increased Loiselle's pay to $620 per appearance and more importantly poached Savage Serge, Alf Moonin and Awesome Alan from SPW&FNP handshake deals. The squeeze will be on SPW's small squad. FNP radio show Featured Attraction lasted for only four episodes. Losing three stars to QCW slowed them down big time. They have stopped gaining popularity. Slow and steady improvement. Inside the AOW - Mateo Pastor's appointment as Head Booker has made a difference, as well as the product change to wrestling as a sport. AOW have gone past POG. They are looking good for medium size in a couple of years. POG is still improving but it is slowing right down. They need some star talent to kick on. QW is really struggling, no improvement and a 50k loss. Versace 1928 prediction contest Who will be the number one promotion at the end of 1928?

Diary 1926 "The Watchers" Diary, 1926 The Birth of Queensland Wrestling (8th) Arriving in Brisbane in the middle of a glorious aussie summer, I reflected that this place had developed quite a bit since my last visit. My last visit was as an officer on the first fleet in 1788 and the early colonists/prisoners had clearly done well. The convict genes are clearly quite strong: my suggestion that they start smuggling their excellent rum into the US was taken up with alacrity. Frank Laboy started up as owner of Queensland Wrestling but for some reason he didnt want a head booker. I stepped in for the first event and convinced him to hire cricketing legend Terry Aguirre whose 50 popularity throughout the Australia had to be worth his $900 a show pay packet. Unfortunately it wasn't. For some reason the aussies cannot produce more than one or two good shows a year. I quietly resolved to set up QW with a decent credit line until Frank hired a decent booker. A $100,000 injection of funds ought to help them stabilise themselves financially, all bets are off though if a second Oceanic promotion opens. QW have one major star, two stars and no head booker. They are the first promotion to have a womens division.They have a talented young squad, several of whom are potential ring generals, but they desperately need a head booker. They lost 50k last year, Terry Aguirre's wages pretty much account for that. Birth of CSW (5th) August saw me heading to Chicago to investigate wrestling's newest promotion, Chicago Style Wrestling. They are the first "Sports Entertainment" style promotion so they could be a natural home for the hordes of workers whose main strength is their entertainment skills. They too have a small womens division and Emerson Walden became the first female champion for any promotion in the world. CSW have no stars at all, so either need to develop some or buy them in. Starting with 25 popularity in the Great Lakes really helped. I met a prominent local businessman called Al Capone. He was utterly charming but i soon realised that his soul was lost to the other side. I made my excuses and left town very quickly, looks like Chicago is not a safe place for angels right now. Inside SPW (1st) It is a sad thing to say but SPW are waiting for Don Loomis to retire. Slow Joe Boone is not strong enough to carry the company and they have lost a succession of talented youngsters to other promotions because they got tired of waiting for their shot. The development of Beckett Byrd into a major star has been the one bright spot, when will the Don let Beckett challenge for the heavyweight crown? SPW have two major stars and three stars. More details have emerged about Jay Lutter leaving: the road agent wanted a piece of the company and Mr Loomis went ballistic. Lutter is still the worlds only legitimate road agent and now he works for QCW and FNP. I can see both of them going past SPW within a few years. Inside VLL (2nd) VLL now have two major stars (no stars): the improvement of Paco Acuna into a legitimate rival to El Espiritu has kickstarted VLL towards medium size. A year or two and they will be there. Inside QCW (3rd) A strategy of alternating between Quebec and Ontario paid off: By October they were the world's first medium sized company, more awards than you can shake a stick at and three of the four best wrestlers in the world. They also had tempted Jay Lutter into being their road agent. Yet the WWA rate them only the third biggest company? Don Loomis must have a lot of friends on that judging panel. Only one major star in Daniel Loiselle, can they raise the profile of others? Or will they start poaching talent? Inside FNP (4th) Four major stars and three stars. Being perceived as the junior company to SPW has its perks. Should increase to small size, indeed its long term future may be better than SPW, it certainlyhas more depth in its roster than SPW has. Inside the POG (6th) Two major stars and two stars. Another year of solid growth. They may only be sixth but they have a good squad, no local rivals and a clear media plan. Inside the AOW (7th) One major star and two stars. Sir Anthony Henry may not have wanted to be the owner but he is quite happy to be the superstar on this roster. The development of Joel Imes and Jimmy Horn into stars has been most pleasing. Similar to position to POG, a lot of positives to look forward to. Versace 1927 prediction contest Who will be the booker to the first Japanese promotion? Who will be the booker to the next American promotion? How many SPW champions are poached by a written contract from QCW?

The death of </p><p> his old partner and drinking buddy hit Don Loomis hard. He clearly started thinking about his own mortality.</p><p> </p><p> The funeral was held at the Loomis Plantation and Frank's Ashes were reverently placed under his plaque in the newly created SPW Hall of Fame.</p><p> Most of the originals of the SPW attended to pay their respects, and in many respects the wake was a defacto summit meeting for the heads of</p><p> the five wrestling promotions.</p><p> </p><p> Frank Norris Jnr turned up, a real chip off the old block but with more hair and less liver and brain damage. I could sense greatness in him, his</p><p> booking skill is world class. He also inherited Old Franks minority share holding in the SPW so he immediately became a major player in the </p><p> wrestling world.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Inside FNP</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Young Frank Norris wanted Don Loomis's blessing to open a promotion in Philadelphia in July.

Five others are stars working for both promotions.</p><p> </p><p> With such a talent base the company couldnt help but have a decent start, and the product is Respectful Wrestling, so as these guys can gain</p><p> experience it should grow nicely. It wouldn't be too much of a stretch to see FNP becoming a development promotion for SPW or allied to it.

A bit of a wild child but</p><p> getting a solid education on how to be a company guy, while spending the vacations in the front office of the SPW.

until you get the money rolling in might i suggest you stick to local wrestlers (travel costs really add up) and 4-5 singles matches maximum. You don't even need an announcing team, be mister skinflint

Always like to read an Aussie rtg, but aren’t you losing cash hand over fist with so many workers and matches?

1924 Diary "The Watchers" Diary, 1924 Notes from the QCW Montreal may be cold in the winter but it is undeniably beautiful. The beer is first class even if the whisky is a bit strange. It feels ironic that the border towns of goody two shoes Canada is making a killing exporting quality booze to the thirsty yanks. For the first six months of the year I witnessed the remarkable rise of QCW using a Wrestling as a Sport product. Daniel Loiselle had 33 singles matches in 1924, he won 33 of them. They ranked #1 - #33 in the top matches of QCW. He pretty much carried the entire promotion on his back from Insignificant to Small in under a year and the World Wrestling authority rated him the third best wrestler on the planet. Third. Apparently the ratings committee of the WWA met at the Loomis plantation where much top quality hooch was handed around, but even so.... To be fair he has some good young talent to back him up: Galtier Therien is the prototypical monster heel but he also can talk and he can properly wrestle. He was deservedly young wrestler of the year and the future looks very bright. Bryant Larcher, Constanzo Arbour and Alain Dedeaux all bring something to the table as well plus they have the second best commentary team in wrestling. Can they keep this forward progress next year? Notes from the AOW While I waited for AOW to open in Birmingham, I took a few weeks off to watch the Paris Olympics. There I met a remarkable young Scotsman called Eric Liddell. The earnestness of his faith cast a blazing aura around him for those with the sight to see it. His refusal to compete on a Sunday meant he was unable to compete in his preferred event but I persuaded him to run in the 400m. I also cast a small blessing which was magnified by his devotion. When I heard he won the gold medal even I was moved to prayer. He left to do missionary work in China, I have no doubt I will see him in heaven at the end of this assignment. The Owner/booker of the AOW, Dustin Youngblood, had established a catch wrestling product. He was hampered severely by the talent, some good athletes and talkers but there was nothing resembling a decent road agent or ring general around. However in a stroke of genius he signed up Anthony Henry and the worlds greatest wrestler (according to the WWA) returned from exile. Even more importantly he put over each of the three individual belt owners and these matches pushed the company up to Tiny Size. They still have a long way to go but with a young roster getting regular matches the capability to improve is there. Now the big mystery to solve is this: Henry was destined to be the Owner/Booker of All Out Wrestling, it was written to the stars. So why did he opt out? Notes from the SPW The gradual exodus of the starting seven is starting to hurt SPW. They cannot get any traction towards rising to Medium Size and they blow several hundred thousands running events in the Mid South in a vain attempt to get that all important second region up to scratch. They really need some of the new guard to step up but it doesn't help when some of the best jump ship. Mr Loomis's increasingly miserly ways are hurting this company now, whats the point of having six million in the bank if you dont use it? Three key workers left this year: Awesome Alan Baldwin and Vincent Hecht both had a ton of promise and losing the legend that is Saita Kuroki was a psychological blow if nothing else. Loomis needs to realise that keeping workers at $30 a show is a false economy. I had a strange premonition in December when they finally shut down the old 150 seater Plantation barn. Don Loomis is the 60 year old owner of a multi-million dollar business, pretty soon the likely heirs will be staking a claim... Notes from the VLL Like the QCW the VLL rely on one man to do the heavy lifting. Unfortunately the VLL has very little in the way of second string talent becoming Main Eventers. Felipe Soliz is the best of a mediocre bunch. The biggest problem is Jorge Allende, the boss and champion. One defence in two years is not acceptable. The VLL need El Espiritu feuding for a title, ideally with Allende. Somebody needs to step up and become the number two and fast. The product change to Classic Lucha Libre in July caused some disruption but hopefully the more modern product will help now. Notes from the POG Steady as she goes. The biggest story for European Wrestling comes from the popular press. Noted Greek superhero The Black Bee has expressed an interest in becoming a pro wrestler. His Popularity of 57 throughout Europe means he would be worth signing even if he cannot hit a move. Wonder what his match fee would be though? Finally it appears that 1925 will be the year of something called the Radio. Apparently sounds come out of thin air from many miles away. Pah humans, we learnt that trick millenia ago. There are tiny radio stations appearing in every wrestling area and the SPW, VLL and QCW are all starting a regular broadcast show to boost popularity. Watcher Versace 1925 Prediction Competition Which one of the SPW, VLL or QCW get their radio show cancelled in 1925? How many of these three radio shows are broadcast in an area that will help them grow to Medium Size? Predestined Frank Norris Promotions will open in Philadelphia in July. Which SPW founder will be the Head booker? The seventh company will open in a virgin territory at the end of 1925. Will it be in Queensland or Chubu? [Tiebreak: how much will it cost per appearance for POG to sign Black Bee?] If anybody wants to suggest a possible heir to the Loomis fortune feel free: so far I am contemplating some from the following: wife, trophy wife, long lost son, baptist minister nephew , sheriff son-in-law, overlooked daughter, illegitimate sprog, black sheep of the family, pushy nephew, harvard student grandson....as well as possible power plays from existing SPW workers. Any requests or suggestions gratefully received
