And by the same token. which promotions are you finding challenging?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Still going strong with my AWF game but I have booked a couple of shows as a number of different promotions just to get a feel for how the mod plays as a whole.</p><p> </p><p> CWE - The AI seems to book shows at around the B- level, a few B shows and I have seen one B+ show, the matches seem to grade at the same level as well. So, I booked my first show and clicking on each segment I was scoring mainly B's a few B-, then I clicked on the main event (Mitchell Adorn vs . Ricky di Rosario) and that scored A*/96 for an overall show grade of A/90. The same roughly happened for the second show I booked though the tag team main event scored A/90 for an overall grade of B+/87.</p><p> The roster has very few people who scores amazingly high in menace, entertainment skills or even overness so booking good angles is hard and impacts the storyline grades but the show always seems to be saved by the quality main events that can be put on. The test with CWE is building people's skills and overness to match the undoubted wrestling skills that they have. </p><p> </p><p> CCW - I have booked two shows as this promotion and have really enjoyed booking as them. For the size of promotion they can score really good grades. The AI even books them really well. The shows I booked graded B/78 and B/80. The second shows main event scored a B+/85. The angles I booked scored very well also. The main thing with this promotion is keeping the five main eventers, they are crucial to the shows doing so well. Fortunately, in the two weeks I booked the only person that has signed a written contract elsewhere is Donald Michaels.</p><p> </p><p> NWA - Has the makings of being a fun promotion to book. The problem for me was the lockeroom morale. I had a number of incidents before the first show that brought the morale down to 68%. This affected all the segment ratings during the show. The second show, same thing happened. Even more lockeroom incidents and the morale dropped to 62%, that's after firing someone. Perhaps my game just had a few bad apples or perhaps the lockeroom morale is a problem in every game. If it is trying to book good shows while trying to improve the morale is a though challenge.</p><p> </p><p> HLG - If I hadn't started a game as AWF I would have started a game as HLG. Really fun promotion to play as. The AI regularly books them at high A shows with numerous A and A* matches. I have also seen one 100 rated match. Although they often book heavyweight main eventers against the main event cruiserweights. I have booked shows at the B+ level, with a number of B+ matches and a few A grades as well. Using the high skill ratings and overness of Giant Sequoia and Monster etc also enables good angle grades. The downside of HLG is a lot of the Main Eventers are getting on. My time decline features Shinigami, Giant Sequoia and Dr. Satsujin. So trying to push younger workers up the card is a long term objective, signing Shingo Wakitami is a must. </p><p> </p><p> CPW - I think you described them as a car crash earlier in the thread. That is certainly true. The hardest promotion I have played as to book. The starting storyline with the six main eventers gives you a number of different matches to book at the start. The problem is everyone is pretty average both in the ring and their skills outside it. In the two shows I booked the most useful worker was Adrian Hurst, a semi active wrestler in his fifties.</p><p> </p><p> I have really enjoyed playing as some of these promotions and could certainly see me playing long term games as a few of them. LLLL is constantly booked at A/A* shows by the AI with a number of 100 rated matches so I may try and book a few shows as them at some point.</p>

Flawless, Christian and Patriarch are getting good grades but Platinum is definitely the MVP at the moment and it is a great way to get higher show grades. </p><p> I will keep you updated on how the game is developing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="LoNdOn" data-cite="LoNdOn" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="42042" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Interesting. Me personally, I don't see the AJ Bennett appeal, but that is what makes reading everybody's comments on their booking.</div></blockquote><p> I agree, I have been trying to push his tag partner Lucian von Flue. Using the artist gimmick, I have him coming out with a gift for his opponent. The gift is a painting of his opponent (him with his foot on the chest of his defeated opponent, his opponent crying after he has beaten them, opponent tapping to a submission finisher). He then a la Jeff Jarrett and his guitar over the head proceeds to smash the painting over his defeated opponent.</p><p> He has won a few matches so far, mainly on the Thursday Night 'B' show but he has been performing quite well.</p>

<p>First month of gametime completed. Here is the January PPV:</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/KKpgsZo.jpg?1</span></p><p> </p><p> Really pleased with the final grade. I wasn't convinced the Main Event was going to grade too highly so it was a nice surprise to see that it graded so well. The high storyline ratings (A*/97) definitely helped that match grade and the Oblivion/Justice match as well. </p><p> The Flawless/Roxdale match was hampered by a steal the show match type and Mr. Flawless having low morale. Rich E. Platinum has spread rumours around the lockeroom regarding Mr. Flawless and he now has strong dislike or simmering tension relationships with about twenty workers.</p><p> Really enjoying the mod, just wish I had a bit more spare time to play the game.</p><p> </p><p> On a side note, there are two areas of Canada (off the top of my head - Manitoba and Saskatchewan(sp)) that do not have any venues available.</p>

Also, not sure about HLG's schedule. I thought in your promotion review you had said they were a promotion that ran a regular weekly schedule, yet they are setup with a touring schedule. In the schedule there is a PPV event set for every month. The two tournaments are set as historic events but they are set for months were the company does not tour. This may have been set up intentionally like this as it is quite easy for the player to adjust the schedule from a touring schedule to regular schedule.

Very true, it has been fun exploring. Took a look at the available luchadors and have signed Black Vortex, El Fuego and Escorpio, have also signed Pyromancer. Was taking a look at Dynamite USA this morning and noticed that the Chaise Future vs Jacob Harman storyline does not feature Jacob Harman. The description and workers involved has Mikey Adorn as the opponent for Future not Harman.

I see you brought C J Hunter into the company, who else have you brought in if anybody?</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yes, I have made a few signings. I brought CJ Hunter in as he is a good worker with decent overness and capable of having good matches as his match with Lawrence Christian showed. I also signed Eddie Van Courtlandt and Floyd Hart for the crusiserweight division. Both are solid workers and have good entertainment skills, which should help boost storyline heat for that divisions storylines.</p><p> I signed Bulldozer Brannigan and Grayson Royce as they are the most over free agents available in the US. They are also extremely good workers. It probably also didn't hurt that Grayson Royce was one of my competition submissions.</p><p> I finally signed Bobby Sweet. I plan on him starting a stable called The Sweet Factory. After approaching Packed With Flavour (who turn him down) he becomes the manager of A-List Pimping, starting a feud between the two teams. I also plan to add Leroy Snyde to the stable eventually leading to a feud between Snyde and Hollywood Monroe over one being a legitimate Hollywood star and one a fantasy Hollywood star.</p><p> I approached Kyle Barker, who wouldn't sign a written contract due to his loyalty to XFW, but he would sign a PPA contract. I haven't offered him the contract yet but think I probably will do.</p><p> Anyone else you think might be a good fit for the AWF?</p>

Thanks, London. The show certainly graded better than I expected. As you say closing with the top stars in angles is certainly the way to go. Heading into the January PPV I am running with the startup storylines, with Flawless/Roxdale and Christian/Big Ron as additional storylines. Rich E. Platinum is desperate not to face Lawrence Christian and sets Big Ron on him and uses Richard Sutherland to keep Christian from getting a title shot, he'll eventually get a shot at Showcase of The Immortals. I don't want to hold off to long as Lawrence Christian appears on the time decline list (early signs of time decline). I was torn between putting Danny Washington and Justin Roxdale in a feud with Mr. Flawless. I went with Roxdale as I am going to have Washington turn on Patriarch, (he eventually snaps as he never gets the opportunities that Patriarch gets). Mr. Flawless will hit on Sarah Bauer, telling her he's not just a flawless wrestler, he's a flawless lover as well. This draws the ire of Roxdale and we get the start of a feud. I am really enjoying the mod and will certainly keep you updated.

Decided to go with the AWF. Here is the results from my first show: http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/y537/IDGoodger/320f2236-a68f-44cb-b77f-15223d994831_zpszmftyv7d.jpg' alt='320f2236-a68f-44cb-b77f-15223d994831_zpszmftyv7d.jpg'>

Small bio issue in Zeke Garrett's bio. His tag partner is referred to as Reckless Youth not Savage Youth.

<p>Was just about to go to bed, when I thought I'll have a quick look at the GDS forums. What a fantastic surprise to find the Londonverse released. </p><p> Thank you London and Tiberious for all your hard work over the years.</p><p> Now the hard job of deciding which promotion to start as.</p>

Have just reached June 2016 of a USPW save. I have just managed to sign Tommy Cornell and Wolf Hawkins to contracts. They are going to debut at the July PPV, where they will interfere in the Frehley/Champion main event, thus starting an invasion type storyline. I plan on having Cornell and Hawkins interfering in matches and attacking workers until they face Champion and a babyface Frehley in a tag match at probably the September PPV. The invaders will pick up the win with the help of The New Wave who I picked up in April. The New Wave will then join the group and wrestle under their real names.
