I'll bump this as I'm into early 2021 with a save. We have just moved into weekly tv on WrestleWorld at a great cost, but I feel that it will pay off soon enough. I run at 43 pop in the Mid South and feel pretty good about getting it to a place where I can begin to offer competitive written offers before too long. I eagerly await signing Lucy in September. I decided to put my eggs in the Alina America basket and she's now established as my Figurehead, despite Foxxy being a better all-around talent. Still, there are bonuses and I have her constantly working with Commissioner Bomb in unscripted post show talking segments. She currently cuts scripted promos at a 70, and so I feel like it's not too long before she breaks through and begins to gain enough popularity to move lots of merchandise. QAW haven't suffered from any notable poaching from USPW or CWA, and have an agreement with 5SSW to send each other workers on excursion. Black Diamond should be excellent when she returns...two and a half years from now. Honey Badger is over there for a year, as I don't want to give up on the avatar and name despite her being a bit of a headache everywhere else. The stables are helpful and I've been pushing a AAA themed brotherhood faction of Lilly & Rose, Christy Higgins and Sabrina Wells, but what I'm really looking forward to is when I finally program Foxxy against Alina. I think that I'm going to move the belt back over to Foxxy after 400+ days of Alina. Danielle Sweetheart is my favorite and most dependable wrestler on the roster and I'm open to suggestions on what exactly I should do with her. She's certainly getting the crown over the summer. I know this for certain.

This is the big takeaway for me. If you can get away with it, I would cancel the prebooking, run an injury and title forfeiture angle, and then let Wolf recover fully. If this is a strained rotator cuff, I'd put him on the couch (and he may not mind you sending him away on paid vacation and could be more likely to not have his morale tank if you need him to put someone over later). Too often have I worked guys through that injury in older iterations of TEW and wound up with them suffering from painkiller addictions.

ULTRA Power Wrestling - October 2020 ULTRA Power - Java (Inaugural Champion with 7 Defenses) ULTRA Tag Team - .50 Cal (Inaugural Champions with 4 Defenses) ULTRA Women's - Jenny Ignition (2 Defenses) I'm using a mod that beefs up the CV with unemployed workers in different regions of the U.S. It's a great addition for my save where I'm looking for a roster of people tied to either Chicago or The Great Lakes. Jenny Ignition is from the Mid West, but I had to treat myself to a merchandise mover with high star quality.

I've been frustrated recently with; I suppose, waiting for the patches to become less frequent and less disruptive before I can commit to a long save. This is entirely a personal preference. But it seems that critical errors haven't been much of an issue, so going back to 1.16 may be a happy medium going forward.

I'm just beginning a game with CWA, and I'd release 15-20 wrestlers if it wouldn't cost me so much money. However, I should release as many long term bad contracts as I can in order to save the money in the long-term. Who in their right mind would pay Marc Raisin over 100k per year, anyway? I'll just let ACPW sign them and go the way of 4C.

These are incredible and now I have added fuel for a TCW save. I will also sign Ernest Youngman and immediately rename him The Southside Hitman in your honor.

CZCW and QAW are carving out their rosters. In my game, I had been waiting on this. CZCW and QAW are both medium sized and share quite a few workers. Alina America had left QAW several months before, and finally signed on for 40,000 per month over four years for CZCW. This seems to have opened the floodgates and both companies are signing each other's workers left and right. It's quite the sight to see the game world change from day to day. Of course, this is going to end badly for the women's division that I've made for myself. Soon, it will be my UC (J-Ro) wrestling my awful dojo graduates, but that's the game that I've decided for myself. But Rajah moved to the Great Lakes and is ok with passing the torch after his vacation with USPW.

In my current game, Paul Steadyfast retired in January 2021. He immediately opened up his own dojo. Apparently, no one wanted to train under Paul Steadyfast and he left the business in the fall. Poor, poor, Paul Steadyfast.

About two years in, and it's become apparent that Steve DeColt was a Trojan Horse all along. All DeColts remain on the roster, while David Stone is the only member of the Stone family remaining. The very final blow to the Stone family legacy is the product changing from a balanced product and to a classic sports entertainment product. It's pretty immersive stuff, honestly.

I'm a C-Verse player. It's been somewhat harder in 2020 due to all of the talent finally retiring that debuted in the first TEW.

I've had better results raising my popularity, I've found, when I have a decent amount of momentum on my side. I'm not sure if that's why I begin to pick up more popularity or if a 60 show is that much better than a 55.

<p>WrestleWorld feels like it's a blessing and a curse for poaching. It helps companies grow, but it also gets attention from the big companies since WrestleWorld is acting as developmental for them.</p><p> </p><p> My thinking is to stay away from talent trading and alliances until you have enough cash saved up to sign a handful of integral workers to written deals at the same time that you're moving to broadcasting. </p><p> </p><p> There's going to be a bloodbath by the end of the second year in my game. CZCW is going to hit medium first. They share a main event scene with QAW and I think that they'll sign those workers away. QAW gets to medium size after them and should start signing aggressively. After them, it's either PSW or NYCW to medium. Someone is going to have to break their "No Stealing" pact before the merciless Big 3 come to harvest again.</p><p> </p><p> Meanwhile, FCW is in deep trouble due to their uppercard being raided as well as raises given out due to the WW exposure, and this is on top of being in a tiny market. OLLIE could go under or they could make it to mountains of cash, but their roster is just full of panicked signings and it's quite the sight.</p>

<p>I have started a Chicago based indie with my UC of Joanne Rodriguez (she's based in The Great Lakes and I can head canon her being a hip podcasting mom on the north side of the city.). The product is a modern throwback on rock hard settings. And there are a few rules I'm attempting to play by.</p><p> </p><p> 1. All talent must either be based in The Great Lakes region or be from Chicago based on their biography. I've temporarily allowed certain people to be on the roster (I've brought in Sayeed Ali, changed his last name to Starks because he's invading from New York). Java, for instance, was my champion. He did very well for me before TCW panic hired him just two months before his in-ring retirement. Running with him versus Ernest Youngman was a good start. </p><p> </p><p> 2. All shows will take place in Chicago.</p><p> </p><p> 3. All graduates of the wrestling school will be featured and will displace all talent not based in the area.</p><p> </p><p> 4. I can hire unemployed international talent, but if they don't move to the region within six months of hiring, they must be let go. I will no longer hire continental talent outside of my region.</p><p> </p><p> 5. All profits go into the training facility.</p><p> </p><p> And so what I'm looking to do is to build a region of talent reminiscent of that era in Minnesota with The Road Warriors, Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, The Koloffs, etc.</p>

It's been a hell of a ride to release. For over three weeks, there has been a new version of TEW2020 every day. Everyone is entitled to and encouraged to share their constructive criticism about the game, but I think that people today should take a second to appreciate "The Streak" that Adam and the team have been on.

I see that at the start of the game, PGHW still holds rights to their footage despite having broadcasting partners. Would it be worth the trouble of setting up a Small subscription service with the limited funds that PGHW possesses? I'm also curious how viewership would break down with events and tv airing in two different places. I've just begun and I'm currently going on a signing spree. I'm especially looking forward to developing Dreadnought and giving a rocket push to Ernest Youngman. Curiously, I've convinced Will Beaumont to work in Japan and have made a written offer to him. It's a terrible idea, but it should be fun to see what happens in a couple of years of game time. At maximum, his toughness is 25. OK, I may pull the offer.

I look forward to continuing my CZCW save after the retail version becomes available. I've enjoyed my time tinkering with company relationships and while I can no longer pay for workers in talent trades, I've enjoyed being able to send workers away gain experience. I've struck up a deal with 5SSW to accept talent on excursion. I did make a mistake in sending certain talent to Japan for three years, but I enjoy the option. I'm considering dropping out of the COTT in order to get pen to paper on people like Aldous Blackfriar, Amazing Fire Fly, and The American Cobras, as well as to protect my talent from injury. Air Raid Syren would be on excursion, but she began dating Vortex and as it turns out, has great tag team chemistry with him.

This is one I enjoy from the SWF of the C-Verse. The Pirates - Faction - Rocky Golden (Leader), Paul Huntington (Deputy), Lenny Brown (Member), Spencer Spade (Member), Ranger (Muscle)

TCW isn't re-signing the 40 year-old Benny Benson and so I'm doling out 2k per appearance to have him come into "pass the torch". He fits into my requirements of being a good worker, not being a jerk, and being less than middleweight. I won't be able to use him until after the full release, but I look forward to finding out who he can put over. Hopefully, he can make Frankie Perez or Frankie-Boy for me. Both will be on written iron clads. Other signings I recommend for others to make are Vortex, Amazing Firefly and Mystery Pink. Firefly got a 74 rating on his first match where he went all-out and even took a crazy bump (he's open to those).

The Zone: A CZCW (small) Subscription Channel I made a subscription service for CZCW that broadcasts my weekly tv show and events, as well. I can sort of fathom that the thirty year-old company can have 100,000 subscribers at launch and have it be profitable.

Oh, I apologize. It's $6,000 every month. As for the ad sales, after two shows, I've made $44,000 in advertising revenue. It seemed to increase further after my audience increased from 92k for the first show, to 100k for the second. I'm running a weekly two-hour show from here on. The uptick in the advertising monies perhaps could have been caused by going from 90 minutes to two hours.

I'm starting to enjoy the game quite a bit and I'm about to start up a new save, as I've hit my two months with CZCW (a company I've fallen in love with again). Balancing issues aside, the game world feels quite alive and the workers so much more human. I also recommend trying the "Simplified" skin, as I've found it quite easy on the eyes and is helping me dive in. However, after starting a nationwide internet subscription network for a mere $135k, I started with 90k viewing my show and make $15,000+ per show through advertisements. That is enough money to match RIPW's production and give out iron clad $6,000p/m, three-year deals to Frankie Perez, Masked Cougar, and Alina America. As it stands, CZCW will make it a Big Four within two years and I feel confident in leaving the COTT and giving ironclad deals to the rest of the important players. I'm not certain if this is too easy, or if the #12 promotion in the game should be able to take the next step. I'm also getting serviceable road agent work for $100 a show out of Rumble Roper and Tamara McFly. This feels like an exploit and that there's something of a sweet spot in their attributes that I can't put a finger on.
