Definitely a stacked lineup here. For the Kunomasu Block the three I see potentially taking it are Kozue Kawashima, Masaru Ugaki, and Magnum Kobe. I don't see Kawashima winning the series, and while he could make it to the final I think he can just fail to make it. I love Magnum Kobe and think he'd be an excellent champion, but he had a title shot pretty recently and Ugaki has a bit more momentom having finally defeated Yasunobu Masuno so I think he takes this block Block Diaz is a bit trickier with Kitoaji and Jimbo seeming the most likely, but I I could see Bussho Makaguchi being the dark horse to win and prove he can be a top level singles guy just like his partner. I think Kitaji falls short to Jimbo one more time here though, and perhaps a failure here can sort of shape his direction going forward now that he's split from the Tigers. ELITE SERIES PREDICTION CONTEST 2022 Elite Series Winner: Masaru Ugaki 2022 Elite Series Runner-Up: Seiji Jimbo Most Points (Group Stage): Seiji Jimbo Will any wrestler end up with zero points?: (Bonus point: If so, who?). I'll go with Hirobumi Takimoto, he's an up and comer but he's yet to really impress in a singles match. The only likely win I can see for him is Hirotsugu Satou, but Satou at least has had af few good singles matches. I'd love to see him prove me wrong and put in a good showing here though. Biggest Surprise Package: I'll say SATO goes from no points in the last Elite Series to being a contender here. Biggest Upset: Michio Gensai beats Kozue Kawashima. Is it likely? No, but it's hard to get a bigger upset.

Hendrix Hughes vs D.O.A. Hughes has the higher upside and would be a solid Australian, or maybe even DIW title challenger. I like D.O.A., and given what happened with Switchblade I'd love to see him do well but I'm not sure he really has the skills to be much more then a decent hand in the undercard as a singles guy. Feels like he would be best off as a supporting player in a team or stable, but then again it's not like everyone on a roster needs to be a star. For ever Rob Edwards or Benchmark you need a Pat Rigsby or Saracens, and at least he's a step above those guys on the totem pole. AUSTRALIAN: Kobra Khan vs Con McReady (c) I like Kobra and I think this title has the highest odds of changing hands, but at the same time I think Jonn Lions is right about this being the night the Pros stand tall. I think Seth Wish is the difference maker and gets involved here. Rob Edwards vs Seth Wish It seems like we're slow building a Seth Wish-Pros split, so I think after Seth Wish helps them in the prior match they fail to do the same for him here. Not to mention Rob Edwards is Rob Edwards. Bryant Hall vs Wrecker Part of me thinks it would be an interesting way to build up Wrecker as the big homegrown hero to have a big name outsider come in, tease that they'll be a big part of your company, only to have Wrecker flatten him and send him packing before transitioning back to dealing with another oursider group in the form of The Pros. Of course that would only work if you had no long term plans for Hall, and since you've made him the crown jewel of the new Ares Death Cult it would basically make the group DOA for him not to win here. TAG: The Barracudas vs The Benchmark (c) I think individually either one of the Benchmark could be solid DIW champions, but their even better as a team. I expect some shenanigans here because the Barracudas are undoubtedly going to challenge again before too long given the depth of the tag division, but ultimately I think the Benchmark are in for a long reign. Right now the only team I see beating them for the titles is Two Badass MFers once Shaw is healthy again and that's quite a ways away. DIW: Milton Hittlespitz vs Dexter Mattell (c) Crazy Blue winning would be a cool swerve to send the crowd home happy, and there's perhaps some justification in taking the belt off of Dex given the reservations about whether he's able to deliver at the highest level. That being said I've really enjoyed Dex's weaselly manipulator character, and I don't see his title reign ending this soon.

Great show! Shame a couple of the matches underwhelmed, but the main event certainly made up for that. As for a signing I think you have plenty of talented rookies, but could maybe use a veteran with a bit more left in the tank, so why not pick up Armando Guerrero? His bio mentions him as the head trainer of the WWA: Australia Dojo, so there's definitely some storyling opportunities with him and New Zealand Pitbull.

Dizzy G vs Michael Rheur From a storyline perspecttive Dizzy G going against either his mentor or the person who defeated his mentor in the finals seems like the most compelling outcome here. Brown Snake vs New Zealand Pit Bull Brown Snake won their prior matchup, and I don't see this one going any differently. Wild Youth vs Two-Faced Bombers vs The Devoted Souls vs The Runway I'm probably way overthinking things, but I think the Devoted Souls have almost been booked too dominantly for them to win here. They've already beaten every team here one on one, and seem to have gotten pretty cocky by suggesting the match to begin with, so I think they get some comeupance. Of the other three teams the Runway seem the most likely picks for champions just based on how good Michel Bernard has been looking. The Devoted Souls could then chase for the titles since they already beat them one on one and can claim the title match as a fluke loss. The Drifters vs Saul Rubennick & Trehawke Phillips Having veterans on the roster to help coach your younger talent certainly makes sense in theory, but I'm not sure the Drifters have much to teach other than perhaps some cautionary tales. Dizzy G vs Brown Snake Dizzy G does what his mentor couldn't and wins a championship. Adgee Cross vs Lone Rider vs The Kipper I think it's time for the Nepotism to finally win out.

If you want to undo something like that you could use the recovery feature when you load the save to bring it back to the previous sunday of game time. Though this won't work if you've already advanced past the next sunday in your save as the recovery file only saves the most recent one.

I liked the attention to continuity with Milton not being willing to partner up Rob Edwards after getting screwed by him twice before. Says a lot that he'd turn down a former champion to instead team up with a brand new signing who he's seen wrestle all of one time. It's cool to see your new signings getting involved in prominent roles so quickly with Horn getting a main event in his second match and Psych Ward joining up with Lloyd Banks as a tag team partner. I'm not sure what exactly to make of the new Ares Death Cult lineup, but it'll be interesting to see how that all plays out over the nest few shows.

January Week One Pick’em Chess Maniac VS Dragon Americano Comments: Both are talented, but not really well known in the US. Chess Maniac seems a step ahead though. Martyr VS Local Chump (I mean local talent) Comments: Martyr is an interesting prospect, so I doubt you'd chump him out week 1. World Tag Team Tournament Round 1 The Wrecking Crew VS The War Chiefs Comments: In a way both teams kind of feel like throwbacks, but War Cheifs seem to be the one more likely to be featured early on. Hardcore Rules Match Animal Harker VS Waylon Walls Comments: Animal is better, but Walls isn't that far behind and I could see the hardcore rules letting him get one over here. The Canadian Blondes VS Ben Williams & Bob Casey Comments:: Hard to pick the only two guys not to get a logo or entrance music. World Title Tournament Round 1 The Texas Hangman VS Deacon Darkhold Comments: He has Texas in his name, he has to win. World Title Tournament Round 1 Primetime Jack Pryde VS Conner Threepwood Comments: Pryde has a lot of potential, but needs a lot more seasoning and exposure before he's ready.

The logos for each wrestler/tag team is a really nice touch. Your presentation here is just top notch and I'm looking forward to the first show.

@Arlie Rahn could I be added as well? It's been a while since I did a forum dynasty, but I'm considering getting back into it.

WrestleX Presents: Memorial For The Victims Of Lobster Warrior Radioactive Bonka Stick On A Pole Match Behemoth vs Pinatadon It's only fitting for the Pinatadon to be hit with the Bonka Stick; though maybe not so hard that he breaks open and candy spills out. Power Beetle Magma vs King Kongor King Kongor is too strong to fight one on one. Power Beetle Rose vs The Nightmare From The Lagoon I think TNFTL's obsession over Rose costs him the match. I'll pick Lagoon Might Mutant Power Beetles (Aqua, Earth, Ghost) vs Aquasaur, Militant Centipede, & Nautilus I think the Martian Queens absence will cause some dissention amongst the invaders and the Power Beetles superior teamwork will win them the match. The Venusian in a LAZER SHARK CAGE @ Ringside Big Al & The Visitor vs The Cosmic Cartel While I'm not hesitant to vote against the power of the LAZER SHARK CAGE, I still think the Cosmic Cartel will find a way to steal this. Boxing Exhibition Power Beetle Grass vs Yukito Poor Yukito, Grass wins but at what cost? Air Chief Marshal Westminster vs Lobster Warrior Lobster Claws can't cut Steel Cybernetic Arms, at least I hope they can't for the sake of humanity.

I hope Dexter can step it up a level now that he's champion. He hasn't been bad exactly, but Quartermainne has a point in his assestment that Rob Edwards was always going to be a tough act to follow and in a way being part of the Pros stable is a double edged sword because the Benchmark are damn good and there's a definite risk of him being overshadowed if he can't match their speed. Honestly this upcoming title match between Dexter and Wrecker seems pretty important, not so much for the result of the match itself but for whether each guy can rise to that next level. The tag title picture is a problem of a different sort with the Benchmark being fantastic champions, but the tag team scene being so decimated that there's a real lack of credible challengers. The Barracudas are the only real established team available right now, but with Blitz gone and the others showing their age it's not quite the clear big money feud it would have been if they were in their prime. At the very least the Pros being such a solid squad means that you can probably count on any combination of the group to deliver in multiman tags if you want to put on a good match for your weekly shows if you want to save your premier matches for the big events.

Farewell Cesar, shame we didn't get more of a chance to see how he'd fare as a solo star but those are the breaks in the wrestling business. It certainly makes sense for CEW to go after him since not only is he friends and tag team partners with Gyula Laktos, but he also has a friendship with Blitz Simpson so he's got two guys to talk him up to management there. On the plus side Cesar is on the wrong side of 40, so this saves some potential awkwardness once age starts catching up to him and Lori has to balance her friendship with him versus what's best for the company. Biggest issue is what this means for the remaining members of the group since a bit too much has happened to just have Death Ref start counting pins again. With the Pros as the big new dominant heel faction I'm not really sure where they fit into DIW right now. If the raids from continue than perhaps Lori will have to go back and add a women's division out of necessity, though I wouldn't put it passed CEW to add their own just so they can keep poaching your workers.

Just wanted to mention that you're doing a great job with this dynasty. Focusing on individual wrestlers storylines/progress over the months between major shows is a really unique and interesting way to highlight the most important stuff going on in your company. Night of PRIDE, 1998 Predictions SEMI FINAL 1: Eisaku Hoshino vs. Hito Ichihara Ichihara is on such a high level that it's hard to see Hoshino beating him here. SEMI FINAL 2: Mito Miwa vs. Nobuatsu Tatsuko Nobuatsu's had a lot of focus as the one being ignored and disrespected by the champion, so I think he makes it through to the finals. Chuichi Sanda and Rebel Cell (Harumi Okazawaya & Sotatsu Sarumara) vs. Go Matsunaga, Hayate Hasegawa & Mamoru Nagahama Not a lot of starpower in this match, but Nagahama is the one with the closest thing to a push here. Lee Wright vs. Luis Figo Manico © for the Historical Japan title I'd be surprised if Manico lost his title before defending vs Danger Kumasaka. Danger Kumasaka, Yodo Nakane and Team Dynasty (Shuji Inukai & Yoshimi Mushashibo) vs. Eisaku Kunomasu, Koryusai Kitoaji, Raymond Diaz & Shimi Komatsuzaki When in doubt pick the champions team. Hito Ichihara vs Nobuatsu Tatsuko I think it's time to elevate a next generation star and Nobuatsu Tatsuko is the one to do it.

Fun start! Australia's always been my favorite corner of the C-Verse (I started with TEW 2010 and my first ever game was with ZEN) so a dynasty focusing on a small Aussie startup company sounds fun. Nice ecclectic mix of talent on your roster, interested to see how the Lone Rider mega push goes.

Oof, the concussion would be bad enough news, but having one of your guys die is another thing completely. I've been playing since TEW 2010 and can't remember having that happen to anyone on my roster, so that's certainly some rough luck. I'm very interested to see what direction you go with things on your next show to salvage the booking you've set up while also giving a proper sendoff to Switchblade.

Looks like a great card, really has that biggest show of the year feel with these matchups. GLORY CROWN
 Kozue Kawashima (c) vs. Magnum Kobe I love Magnum Kobe and think he definitely has what it takes to be champion, but at the same time Kozue Kawashima is the ace and I don't think he loses here. CHAMPIONS VS. CHAMPIONS - GLORY TAG CROWN ON THE LINE
 Kazushige Matsuki & Tetsunori Yasuda (c) vs. KITA & SATO At first I was going to go with the challengers here because after they won the elite series Matsuki & Yasuda are running out of legitimate challengers. However, the best tag team in PGHW wasn't in the tournament. I think the champions retain here, continuing riding high after their elite series and we build to a big match with KitoGuchi down the road. STABLE WARFARE - SIX-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
 Crimson Tigers (Bussho Makiguchi, Chojiro Kitoaji & Hirobumi Takimoto) vs. RONIN VII (Akinori Kwakami, Noriyori Sanda & Seiji Jimbo) At first glance Takimoto taking the pin seems the obvious result, but I think Kitoaji has enough fire in his return to get a big win. CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION - HISTORICAL JAPAN TITLE & INTERNATIONAL TITLE ON THE LINE
 Avalanche Takano (c) vs. Joshua Taylor (c) Avalanche seems to be someone you've been building, and I think it's time for him to capatilize to beat Taylor and push himself into the upper eschelon of talent in PGHW. SINGLES MATCH - ULTIMATE GRUDGE RE-MATCH
 Masaru Ugaki vs. Yasunobu Masuno The Masuno experiment seems to have mixed results at best so far. To me he feels very good rather than great, and someone who is best used as a sort of gate keeper, a challenge overcome only by the biggest stars. Ugaki is undoubtedly one of those stars, and I'd be stunned if you had him fail at getting his revenge on the biggest stage. EIGHT-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
 Coyote Club (BISON Yano, Brute Kikuchi & Hirokazu Yamanoue) & Gonnohyoe Kada vs. The American Cobras (Marvel Molloy & Storm Spillane), Canadian Dragon & Hitomaro Suzuki Not much to say here with one side having an obvious advantage. EIGHT-MAN TAG TEAM MATCH
 AKIMA, Tsurayuki Kamachi & The Ivanoff Brothers (Igor Ivanoff & Ivan Ivanoff) vs. The Front (Michio Gensai & Mutant) & The Lions of Japan (Shinji Mihara & Shozo Furata) If this was pre-elite series I would have picked the other way since the Lions of Japan beat the Ivanoff brothers on their re-debut, but I think the "Russian" duos unexpected promotion to the elite series has elevated them to the point where the Lions are the weak point in this match; even with Gensai & Mutant on their side. TAG TEAM MATCH
 REBEL (Hirotsugu Satou & Motoyuke Miyake) vs. Goro Sakamoto & Sanjiro Sasaki Young lions paying their dues. It is a bit funny that Magnum Kobe would pick two very no frills type wrestlers to be a part of his unit, but I suppose it makes sense since part of his friction was SATO was insecurity over someone potentially upstagging him. SINGLES MATCH - LOSER LEAVES RONIN VII
 Haranobu Kobayashi vs. Suguru Emoto This is tricky because Emoto has been the one losing almost every match, and going by their initial stats in 2020 Kobayashi is definitely much more developed while Emoto needs a lot more work. The final match in the elite series against delibrately pointed out that Kobayashi almost won the match against the champions while Emoto was the one who lost in the end. The real question here is what's the purpose behind booking the match. If it's simply to get rid of dead weight than Emoto is the obvious choice, but if it's to have one of them rebound in a new unit it makes far more sense for Kobayashi to get kicked out since he's far more capable of standing on his own and perhaps even getting some measure of revenge on Ronin VII while Emoto can continue to refine his skills as the bottom rung of Ronin VII. I'll gamble and go with the second option.

Just wanted to chime in and say that I'm enjoying this dynasty and the way you keep it moving while still giving the highlights (and occassional lowlights) of each tour. ELITE TAG SERIES PREDICTION CONTEST 2021 Elite Tag Series Winner: Bison Yano & Brute Kikuchi 2021 Elite Tag Series Runner-Up: Hirotsugu Satou & Magnum Kobe Most Points (Group Stage): Bison Yano & Brute Kikuchi Will any team end up with zero points?: (Bonus point: If so, who?). Yes, the Ivanoff Brothers. Biggest Upset: Haranobu Kobayashi & Suguru Emoto defeat Hirokazu Yamanoue & Masaru Ugaki

Just got caught up with this and I really enjoy how you've brought your characters and world to life. Prediction KeyNirvana Moon vs Victoria Labelle I don't think we've seen Labellle before, but you seem to be booking your graduates in a bit of a young lion method where they aren't really going to be getting many wins early on aside from when they face each other. Team 720 vs Hiroko Mori & Hotaru Goda I was tempted to pick team 720 scoring a big upset, but I think Mori and Goda are just too tall of a task for a team that's only recently started winning matches. The Pillars of Joshi take another step to a rematch with the tag team champions. Qualifier For Next-Gen Championship Ladder MatchDallas Fox vs Lexi Scott Reading things over I've noticed Dallas Fox quietly racking up a very solid win-loss record, having a pretty respectable stay in the battle bowl, and decisively winning her last feud. Qualifier For Next-Gen Championship Ladder MatchMischa Brooks vs Black Sheep I could see an upset if Michaela Duggin gets involved and Black Sheep takes her eyes off the prize, but I don't think Mischa is ready to compete for a championship. I'm a bit surprised Lottie isn't in this tournament since a ladder match seems like it would be her place to shine. Qualifier For Next-Gen Championship Ladder MatchWhiskey Black vs Ella Frost Interesting choices here since this makes Whiskey a part of every inaugral title tournament while Frost has been around for a bit, but after her first couple wins has mostly been on the losing side of matches. I was tempted to pick Ella to win due to outside shenanigans with DeathGrip to set up her facing off with Fox once more in ladder match, but reading that over I feel like that feud had a pretty decisive ending and maybe it's time for Whiskey to finally win some gold. Kelly Kanzaki & Krissy Kanzaki vs Dana Lynn & Deonna Deen Dana & Deonna have a pretty poor win-loss record, but with their recent heel turn I think they've got something to prove here. I feel like the on-going drama between the Kanzaki sisters and DeathGrip rears it's head here and costs them the match. The Damned vs BlackThorn It's hard to pick against a new team that's been hyped up quite a bit, but I really like BlackThorn. I'm going to take a big gamble and guess that this match will get messy and end in some sort of doule dq or countout to build to a 2nd match between the teams. Starlet Grand ChampionshipLiberty Austin (c) vs Akikio Ishizaki Liberty losing her title so quickly would be a bit of a shocker.

Just got caught up with this diary and I think you're doing a fantastic job with this. Losing top guys hurts, but it might be a blessing in disguise since it opens the door for new guys to step up and create some fresh matchups. With your new TV deal I'm guessing you might end up wanting to bolster your undercard a bit since frankly there are probably only so many Saracens matches that fans will really want to tune in for. I'm sure you don't need my advice for suggestions, and I don't even know if these guys are still unemployed two years in, but if you're looking for fresh blood Rick Horn seems like a guy made for DIW, and while Brown Snake isn't a deathmatch guy he seems like someone who could follow the Rob Edwards path of winning over the fans through toughness, in ring talent, and charisma. Okay I mainly picked him because he has Snake in his name and Kobra Khan is on your roster, it just writes itself.

Really enjoying this diary. Can't imagine Milton was thrilled to have the new booker's first move be to make him drop the title to a guy who seriously injured him in the past, but life isn't always kind to Australian hardcore workers. I haven't played the mod too much, but the roster looks interesting if a bit rough in terms of talent; especially with so many of them with poor starting momentum. Feel like God of War should probably be the next one on the chopping block; maybe OLD will pick him up.

I agree APW is one of the worst. I think it's mainly due to the fact that their product is Sports Entertainment, so it really just comes across as watered down RAW; if it were a more balanced or work rate oriented promotion I could see it having a niche, but as is it might as well be RAW's Developmental. With DIW and ZEN they have their own niche identities and money issues, but with APW It feels like they should have the money/contacts to at least attempt to get a TV deal or do something to compete, but they've just been in the exact same spot since TEW 2010.

PGHW Glory Tag Crown KitoGuchi vs Muruyama & Ugaki © It feels like KitoGuchi are bound for singles careers sooner than later. Death From Above vs Kozue Kawashima & Rebel Run X I'll probably regret betting against the new heel stable, but Dark Wing just seems like a glaring weak link. PGHW Historical Japan Championship Greg Gauge © vs War Machine I don't think Gauge will lose the title so quickly. Hirotsugu Satou vs William Hayes Hayes was great, but he's over 40 and I'm not sure how much he has left in the tank. The Ring Generals and Jack Marlowe vs Toshusai & Nagahama and SATO Toshusai and SATO could be two key guys for your future, but Nagahama is clearly the most expendable guy here. FUTURE Six Man Tag Team Championship Tournament semi-final Gonnohyoe Kada and Dojo Breakers vs Azumamaro Kita and Yano & Kikuchi I'd love to see a Dojo Breakers push, but I think they'll need a better partner than Kada. FUTURE Six Man Tag Team Championship Tournament semi-final Omezo Shikietei and Kwakami & Sanda vs Shingen Miyazaki and Stone Avalanche Poor Kamachi, dude was clearly having the best year of his career in PGHW and WLW and then gets hit by a bad injury. The People's Team vs Daigo Goya and Seiji Jimbo Would be a bit of a burial of your entire tag division if the Elite Tag Series winners lost to a Makeshift pairing of your Ace and a young boy. Yasuda gets the win here to build up interest in his title challenge.
