  1. I've finally created a Cverse 1977 save that I find interesting enough to follow through until the present day (as is my current plan). I started a company on Easy with a bit of extra finances and have been keeping to some strict rules. Only wrestlers with >50 experience can be a part of my main roster, any with less have to start in dev until they reach 50. Also I am only allowed to hire (male) wrestlers with 85+ in one of the primary skills (other than hardcore), athleticism, star quality or charisma for the main roster, and 80+ for dev (this was previously 80 and 75 but that got too crowded), with the numbers being 75+ and 60+ for women. I have done this to make sure that I am only using the true cream of the crop, but also to limit me from hiring all my favourite wrestlers (RIP Cazador, Los Caballeros de Santiago, Gilgamesh, Loano, Pantera and The Perfect Storm) as I always seem to end up with pretty much the same roster in CV77. I have just booked my fifth anniversary show in January 1982, and this is how it went: LWF Anniversary V (Pre-Show) Chiba Chiba and Jennifer Patrick defeated Christy Sunshine and Riley Escobar (62) No story to this one, just making sure two of the women I'm pushing go over on(ish) our biggest show of the year (Pre-Show) Kumiko Hasegawa defeated Sachio Sugiyama (52) Kumiko Hasegawa just came back to the company after a couple of years away (I fired her as her stamina was too low, but it has now improved) and she will be moving into a storyline in the coming weeks. Limb-Snappers (Chandler Baker, Jimmy Power and Mike Barstow) defeated Cruel Japan (Dragon Agakawa, Kyoshiro Kanashi and Yasunari Koga) and Outer Space (Banzai Yoshiharu, Red Falcon and El Payaso) to win the LWF Men's Trios titles (80) Outer Space have been a fixture in LWF since very early in the company's history, also featuring Extraordinario and Quasar (who we shall come to later). This was the inception of the LWF Trios titles and almost the culmination of a three way battle between these groups, started because Cruel Japan and Limb-Snappers couldn't agree on which of them gets to bring down Extraordinario. Limb-Snappers is a group of extremely gifted technical wrestlers and Cruel Japan (obviously) is a heel Japanese group, named such as they are rivals of Cool Japan (who we shall also come to later). Dragon Agakawa and Tasuku Nandaba just won the LWF Men's Tag Team titles from Vertigo (Yoshiharu & Falcon) on the last episode of TV, hence why they are not being defended at this show. Matthew McAllister defeated Andre (Powerhouse) Patterson (62) No story here just trying to depush Patterson until his wrestling skills can improve in our training facility. Carrie Hitchens and The Flying Angels defeated China (Lady) Kitozaki and WoMonsters (Bertha Mayle and Mongol Yamamura) (77) I bought out JWW in 1979 and so their wrestlers comprise the bulk of my women's division (as they are most of the best female wrestlers in the world!) The Flying Angels have been feuding with the WoMonsters for years and I am trying to push them up to a point where it is feasible to create Women's tag titles (we do not even have a women's singles title yet as the pushes have been taking a while!) Sam Strong defeated (Mighty) Thor (68) Sam Strong finally reached 50 experience last month so he is the highest priority to push, and Thor's skills are simply not up to snuff at all yet. Bishima and Mephisto defeated Cherokee Hawk and Will Roberts (81) Hawk and Roberts are jobbers here to two members of the Nero's Disciples stable who are both moving up the card. Shinigami (Gnasher Udo) defeated Brick Fantana (82) Another member of Nero's Disciples, who has also only recently come up from dev. Brick Fantana is the last of the three (all ex-SWF, huh) wrestlers that I am rapidly de-pushing. Mike Kinsey is also present in LWF so Gone Hollywood shall be a jobber tag team for a while. Shinigami got an 84 rating for this match while pushing as unimportant so I am very excited for his rise. Samira (The) White defeated Sadako Red, Melissa Monroe and Mariselle LeFebvre (82) Melissa Monroe had been separately feuding with Mariselle LeFebvre and Red Army (Sadako Red, Dina Li (in rehab) and Kuni Ginoru) over the true owner of the colour red in women's wrestling (given Monroe's and LeFebvre's hair colours are both red). Samira came up from dev during this feud and began a rivalry with Sadako Red, which brought her into conflict with the other two as well. I did not choose a winner for this but Samira winning is very exciting as her match ratings are outstanding. El Jefe (Border Patrol) defeated Dead Silence and Edo Phoenix in an Elimination match (82) Silence and Phoenix are a tag team as Team Ninja, and El Jefe is sick of their ninja nonsense and wants to drill into them some sort of true regimental discipline (El Jefe's character is somewhere between a sheriff and a drill instructor). Jefe wins the feud here and will move on to bigger and better things. Heidi Brooks and Nakamura Miharu defeated Team Destruction (Brenda Martinez and Yumi Yoshikuni) (87) Heidi Brooks is the only woman pushing at above Well Known and so this feud has been an attempt to help raise the other three (and Chiba Chiba, the other member of Team Destruction) up to a point where I can feasibly create a Women's World title. The feud ends here but I plan on having it bubble under the surface for many years to come. Quasar defeated Puma (Top Cat Aguila) (96) Potential teaser of an Outer Space vs Nero's Disciples feud that may come in the next couple of months, Quasar may be moved up to the main event shortly and contend for the World title. Puma has not usually performed this well but this may be a sign of a turnaround. I am so glad I thought of the name Puma as I loathe his regular name. Chief Two Eagles defeated George DeColt (98) George DeColt has only just joined LWF and is still finding his feet but wow this match rating suggests he should shoot straight to the top (great chemistry definitely helped). This was simply a match to get both men on the card as both are faces (though my split is only loosely enforced). Fred Jenkins defeated Jean-Pierre Baptiste (91) This feud went sour very early on. I initially had the Straight Shooters (Fred Jenkins, Matthew McAllister and Lewis Brocksfield) against the French Legion (Jean-Jacques LeBlanc, Jean-Luc Lemans and Jean-Pierre Baptiste) with the intention of pushing all three of the 'French'men, but unfortunately BOTH LeBlanc and Lemans started their physical declines during the feud, leaving me with only Baptiste that I wanted to push, thankfully he was already the best worker of the three. Robbie Gordon defeated Yodo Nakane, Kenji Fukamura, Ryusei Kanai, Tetsuya Najahara and Yoshinaka Toshusai in an Elimination match (83) Robbie Gordon aggravated the entire Cool Japan stable when he insisted that he was better at the Japanese style of wrestling than any of them, and he was slowly facing them each in 1v1 matches to determine if this was true. In the end Gordon comes out on top but Nakane, Fukamura and Kanai have all been raised out of being considered Unimportant so I'm calling this a huge success. Tibor Szakacs defeated Joey Flame (89) I listened to his bio! Szakacs is a major player in LWF having been there since the beginning, joining up with his fellow Wild Men in Wild Man Sullivan, Dick the Devastator (I managed to buy out AAFW in 1977 so his loyalty is not a factor) and Saionji Omura. Joey Flame is missing his brother Teddy (fired a couple years ago when I upgraded my minimum skill level requirement, but he has now surpassed it in SWF and will be back when his contract comes up in a year) but is now a part of Team Lionheart (a Team Supreme ripoff featuring Micky Starr, Chief Two Eagles and Andre Patterson). This match suffered from both a lack of selling AND a lack of psychology (despite both having 84 psych) so the high rating just shows how good Szakacs truly is. Extraordinario defeated Jackson Andrews and Tasuku Nandaba (97) This is the true final battle in the story between Outer Space, the Limb-Snappers and Cruel Japan. Jackson Andrews is someone I always want to sign but this time around CWF offered him a written contract rather than handshake and so his loyalty meant I couldn't sign him...until he became embroiled in a scandal in 1978 and was released from the company. The scandal lasted nearly two and a half years but I snapped him up as soon as I could and this was the first feud he has been a part of. Both Andrews and Nandaba are getting on in age so they were the ones most pushed of their respective stables in this feud, but Extraordinario wins in the end. Extraordinario may well be one of the next, if not THE next, Men's World champion. McCloud & Mason defeated Dick The Devastator and Wild Man Sullivan (99) Angus McCloud and Ernest Mason had been a loose unit for a while until I decided to have them tag and realised they have great chem. McCloud has been feuding with the Wild Men on and off for years and this may finally put it to bed as Sullivan, Dick and Szakacs are all getting old. However Ernest Mason has great chemistry with BOTH Dick and Szakacs so he may simply take over the feud. Micky Starr defeated Professor Nero (98) Starr formed his stable of Team Lionheart with the express purpose of taking down Nero's Disciples. Unfortunately he tore his meniscus at a house show in May and was ONLY JUST able to come back in time for this show. He shall move on to be the next challenger for the Men's World title, while Nero and his Disciples shall continue running roughshod over LWF for the foreseeable future. Rip Chord defeated Ray Kingman in a Cage match to retain the LWF Men's World title (95) Rip Chord. Sigh. A year ago he was at 100 pop across the US with 90 star quality, and now his star qual is down to 81 and his pop cap is reducing because of it. He simply refuses to stop his heavy drinking, despite already having been to rehab once for it. He can still put on fantastic matches don't get me wrong, this was only limited due to negative chemistry. Chord won the title from Kingman back in March after returning from the aforementioned stint in rehab that had previously caused him to vacate the title. Unfortunately I had not realised the two of them had negative chem until Kingman had won the vacant title and I didn't feel as though I could screw Chord out of regaining it. But now Chord, age 32, is probably on the outs in LWF. He will probably drop the title next month to Starr and then slowly move down the card before his stamina reaches terrible levels (it has reduced from 95 to 89 this year so he probably has a good three or four more years in him thankfully).
  2. Just a quick one, I believe I've done something to the language settings on my laptop to cause this to happen but I've changed things around a lot and cannot for the life of me figure out what I changed. All the accented letters in the game are replaced by a mishmash of accents and punctuation (as shown on El Héroe Mexicano here). Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
  3. Does anyone have a working download link for either version of this mod?
  4. The team of She Devil and Mecha Yukiko won my female development company's tag team title belts, in a match that ended with BOTH of them being injured. Devil has a broken wrist and Yukiko a broken toe.
  5. This should work to download all the saves! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j4GkPYr-8abGXsimWpj5CoWykZIlLb3g/view?usp=sharing Feel free to share any interesting info you find that I may have missed
  6. Actually Tommy Cornell was kinda handed everything. He debuted in July 1996 and by the end of the month he was working for two American indies and PGHW, and then a week into August he was hired to a developmental deal by SWF. He was called up in 2002, then poached by CPW (who were about equal to SWF at the time) in 2004, selected as their figurehead in 2008, and then poached BACK by SWF in 2014. He's won both CPW and SWF's World titles three times. In terms of the top ten most popular wrestlers from Oceania in the default data: Swoop McCarthy: Melbourne Wrestling Federation (Well Known) - Has always stayed in Oceania Maurice Jackson: Unemployed since debut Loxley Robbins: Worked for RAW for 8 years then quit Luke Steele: Unemployed since debut Blake Belushi: European Wrestling Federation (Unimportant) - Moved from Oceania to Europe in 2024 Frogue Element: Melbourne Wrestling Federation (Major Star) - Stayed in Oceania Kerry Wayne: Melbourne Wrestling Federation (Recognisable) - Stayed in Oceania and was unemployed until 2021 Rahmel Goode: Unemployed since debut and now retired Captain Wrestling II: Melbourne Wrestling Federation AND Revolution Australian Wrestling (Major Star in both) Montgomery Croft: Stayed in Oceania, unemployed now but worked for RAW from 2009 until 2025 I'm pretty sure the Oceania scene NEEDED more companies in it but all the ones set to random that debuted before 1997 were screwed and were dead within three years. Had one of them stayed open and then perhaps two Oceania companies were Medium by the end it may have been a different story
  7. I've got saves every 2/3 years (77, 80, 82, 85, 87, 90, 92, 95, 97, 00, 02, 05, 07, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 25, 27) and there's obviously lots of other information available so feel free to ask for any information about anything at all
  8. Some info about the biggest companies in the world: AAFW: Major Stars: Davis Wayne Newton, Dominic DeSousa, El Mitico Jr, Ernest Youngman, Extraordinario Jr, Panda Mask II, Valiant Best Match last year: Dominic DeSousa and Panda Mask II defeated Chucky Dorrance and Davis Wayne Newton in a Strap Match (100) Champions: World: El Mitico Jr #1 Contender: Ricky DeColt Tag Team: Milton Marone and Sammy Smoke BHOTWG: Major Stars: Bussho Makiguchi, Elemental III, Seiji Jimbo, Tsuneyo Yanagimoto Best Match last year: Bussho Makiguchi defeated Seiji Jimbo (99) Champions: Universal: Elemental III World Junior: Jotaro Tanaka Tag Team: Danjuro Kikuchi and Funakoshi BHOTWG Summit Champion holder: Mokuami Maita BHOTWG Best of the Super Juniors holder: VENOM Note that the World Heavyweight title does not exist anymore. This was an issue that kept happening as BHOTWG were often left with no star or major star heavyweights, leading to them abandoning the Heavyweight title and creating one to suit all weight classes. The problem is that if this belt is held by a junior wrestler, given the weight class system, no heavyweights can challenge for it, and so Makiguchi and Jimbo are left without a title to contend for as the AI doesn't want to create a second primary belt. CWL: Major Stars: Gargantuan, Jet Stream Best Match last year: Gargantuan defeated James Hernandez (100) Champions: Triple Crown: Cameron Vessey Intercontinental: Jayson Van Pelt Tag Team: Hugh Ancrie and Lightning Lomas GCG: Major Stars: JOJI, SUKI Best Match last year: Mabuchi Furusawa defeated SUKI (95) Champions: International Heavyweight: Mabuchi Furusawa National: Morimasa Kato Tag Team: Emerald Angel and Shiba Mizoguchi Parade of Champions holder: JOJI National Tag Team Grand Prix holders: BISON Yano and Tatsuya Toshitara Osaka Sports Junior Cup holder: Marihito Masuko OLLIE: Major Stars: Blue Phantom, Chess Maniac Best Match last year: Gino Montero defeated Chess Maniac (100) Champions: Campeonato del Mundo: Gino Montero Campeón de Mexico: Matthew Keith Campeónes de Parejas: El Hijo del Neutron and Máscara Delfín Campeóatos de Trios: Lunatic, Kill Switch (Frankie Perez) and Guerrero Muerto SWF: Major Stars: Antonio Maxi Marquez, Aztec Prince, Captain Atomic, Damien, El Demonio, Hollywood Brett Starr, Matt Sparrow, Primus Allen, Scythe, Spencer Spade, Tommy Cornell, William Hayes Best Match last year: Aztec Prince and El Demonio defeated Lenny Brown and Matt Sparrow Champions: World Heavyweight: William Hayes United States Heavyweight: Antix Tag Team: Running Wolf and Donte Dunn

  10. Welp it's that time again, after some time away from the game I've come back, embarked on, and completed my classic simulating adventure, with a couple of twists. This uses the That 70s Mod Updated by The Blonde Bomber, I believe from version 1.5 given the wrestlers that are around/not around but I am unsure as I downloaded the database quite a while ago. I also added a few mods of yet to debut workers for CV2020 and potentially some other federations but I cannot remember which. IMPORTANT: This is NOT an accurate simulation of the true Cverse 1977 data. After experimenting with many sims I got so annoyed at the booking decisions and owner decisions that I chose to make a couple of across-the-board edits to the data. Firstly, all potential bookers start the game with 100 in Booking Skill. This was mainly done to prevent huge companies like SWF hiring terrible bookers (like The Big Easy, who I believe had 21 Booking Skill in one sim) and then causing their own downfall by refusing to sack them. Secondly, all potential owners AND bookers who started the game as active wrestlers were set to only be able to become owners or bookers AFTER the age of 40. This was to prevent instances that I'd had in previous simulations where truly world class wrestlers like Jeremy Stone/Sam Keith would be stuck owning various insignificant-small promotions instead of wrestling at their true levels. Another minor edit was spreading out the opening dates of the three Indian promotions so that they had more chance of survival (set to 1982, 1992 and 2002) As of 2027 there are 48 active companies. USA: Tiny: Philly Power Pro Wrestling Small: New York City Wrestling, United States Pro Wrestling Medium: American Pro Wrestling, California Pro Wrestling, Chicago Championship Wrestling, Island Pro Wrestling (Owned by SWF as a development company), Texas Wrestling League Big: All-American Federation Wrestling, Supreme Wrestling Federation Canada: Small: Association De Lutte Quebec, Canadian Pride Wrestling, Canadian Women's Wrestling Federation, Toronto Pro Wrestling Medium: Canadian Golden Combat, Canadian Sports Association, Canadian Wrestling Federation Big: Capital Wrestling League Mexico: Small: Comité Internacional de Lucha Libre Medium: Fantastic Entertainment Wrestling (maybe not for much longer, as they're $22 million in debt), Mexico Premier Wrestling Federation Big: OLLIE British Isles: Small: 21st Century Wrestling, Men of Steel Combat, Super Wrestling Federation Medium: British Professional Wrestling, National Wrestling Federation, World of Wrestling Japan: Small: Japanese Championship Wrestling Medium: 5 Star Sensational Wrestling, Japanese Women's Wrestling, Tokyo City Championship Combat Big: Burning Hammer Of The Wrestling Gods, Golden Canvas Grappling Europe: Insignificant: European World Class Wrestling (no owner and haven't put on a show since 2021) Small: French Pro Wrestling, Wrestling Premier League Medium: European Wrestling Federation Oceania: Small: Revolution Australian Wrestling, Southern Hemisphere Wrestling Medium: Melbourne Wrestling Federation India: Medium(!): Mumbai Grand Prix Wrestling More info coming shortly
  11. Just created a parallel save to check this. He can only handle up to a 6 minute match of any kind, but with limited involvement he seems able to do any length of match, including 90 minutes? I hadn't realised limited involvement could be so powerful.
  12. Unfortunately you've misread as that actually reads ZERO Athleticism. What a guy. At least it shows why you should always dump some points into Silver Tongue when starting a playthrough. Poor man has been utterly devastated by heavy smoking, heavy drinking and heavy soft drug use that he could have talked out of if I didn't enjoy watching movie tie-in wrestlers suffer. He hasn't even hit time decline yet as his selling and consistency are still improving. At least he'll make a good manager someday, but for the moment having 18 rated performances in losses to Rocco the Plumber on Sunday Slamfest isn't the greatest way to spend that money.
  13. I love you SWF but what the hell are you doing paying over $700k per month to a wrestler with 1 stamina.
  14. Might as well have, thankfully nothing negative has come of it and it may actually turn out to be a positive as the two of them may now actually upgrade their production by themselves
  15. I have two separate development territories, one for men (Double Dragon Men's Wrestling) and one for women (Double Dragon Women's Wrestling). Just casually checking the news between my weekly shows and I see this. Brilliant
  16. In a copied save I tried 1mil per month with 100% merch and event and still nothing :/ but I made a database from the save and found his hiatus is only another three months so I think I'll just wait ahaha
  17. I'm currently having an issue with this. I'm trying to coax Bryan Holmes off of hiatus in late 2011 of the Cverse 2005 mod. I'm a Big company with Big broadcasting across USA, Medium across Canada and Big across Mexico. My prestige is at 81% and momentum at 91%. I've offered him a contract of 350k per month WITH wage matching when the suggested value is 46k per month and he still refuses. Do you have any idea what else I would need to change?

It would be difficult to give accurate stats for wrestlers who haven't wrestled for a while, so that's why they're not in the mod presumably</p>
  19. Will there be another after Double or Nothing but before you do the July data? I'm willing to make the necessary changes myself if not
  20. I feel as though people wanting more promotions to be at risk of going bust are too used to old TEWs where it was normal for promotions to open and then close six months later. The smaller promotions are doing better in this game because independent wrestling as a whole is on the rise in the Cverse (mainly thanks to WrestleWorld and young talent that hasn't yet been poached). But promotions DO still fail. In a two year watcher game both FCW and CWW have already gone bust, and GSW appears to be next. It's just for the first year and a half the game is pretty stable, but I assure you that does change, and I definitely feel like that's much more true-to-life than prior versions.
  21. I'm currently in mid-2023 with SWF and I WISH I'd been doing this from the start, definitely using this idea in my next game, if you don't mind. Also glad to see someone else signing Raymond Diaz as Ray to TCW as I always seem to do. For myself, I'm having quite a problem in my aforementioned SWF game. Tommy Cornell is finally on time decline since the end of 2022 and I've been trying to depush him to about upper midcard before he starts stinking up the main event. The only problem is any time I put someone over him the match rating is either 99 or 100, so he barely loses any pop, even against an upper midcarder. Granted this is a fantastic problem to have as it means anyone I put over him will go up hugely in pop but his stamina is almost below the minimum 70 I require for non-tag roster members so I need him to hurry up and reduce his pop!

  23. I finally did it. I finally managed a 99 rated show in TEW, with no cheating bs at all. And I am so proud of how I did it. Relatively long post incoming. Results of Supreme Challenge 40 Jefferson Stardust defeated Freddy Huggins and Jacob Jett in a Ladder Match to retain the SWF North American title (81) Currently have the North American title as a high-flying one, regularly defended in multi-man ladder matches. Jacob Jett has just joined and has rather low pop so this should get a better rating if done next year. Plan is to build Jett up to be the mainstay of the North American title picture El Leon defeated Masaru Ugaki (100) I was actually extremely shocked this got a 100 rating. El Leon has been my best wrestler for getting them in this save but Ugaki isn't even autopushing at main event yet. This was the blowoff match in a feud between the Heroes of Mexico (El Leon, El Mexicano (El Heroe del Mexicano) and Heroe) and The Legion (Masaru Ugaki, Funakoshi, Haranobu Kobayashi and Tobei Sugimura). Ugaki will reach main event soon but it wasn't worth depushing El Leon for that Natural Storm defeated the Diaz Boys to retain the SWF World Tag Team titles (82) Part of a feud I will get onto a bit later. Logan Diaz (Logan Wolfsbaine) and James Diaz have just been brought up from dev and this was their first appearance as a team on the main roster so no way I was going to let them win. Spencer Spade defeated Steve Frehley (93) Match suffered from a lack of selling, which is why Frehley lost. He returned in November last year and set out attacking the new faces that had risen since he left, most obviously Spencer Spade. Spade is likely to be the one that I replace in the main event with Masaru Ugaki. Jay Chord defeated Swoop McCarthy (99) The culmination of the aforementioned feud between Legacy (Jay Chord, James & Logan Diaz, Edward Cornell, Cameron Vessey and Casey Valentine) and The Saviours (New Day style team of Swoop McCarthy, Donte Dunn, DC Rayne and Eddie Howard). Swoop is heading into the main event soon as well to replace a Jack Bruce who is well into time decline. Money Gilmore defeated Nicky Champion (100) Another 100 I was surprised by, though not as much as Leon vs Ugaki. Money Gilmore is part of the Corporation stable (Money Gilmore, Remo Richardson, Ernest Youngman, William Hayes (Ray Diaz was here but I just sent him to train workers in RIPW as he was 5 years past his prime)). The Corporation attacked Nicky Champion out of frustration after losing a half-year long feud to The Saviours. KC Glenn defeated Antonio Maxi Marquez (100) Okay this one was ALWAYS going to be 100 rated, and to think I almost had Glenn fighting his mentor Joey Morgan here (that will be saved for the next few PPVs). Glenn, Marquez and Matthew Keith have been feuding over the title for a few months ever since Marquez and Keith's match for the title was thrown out thanks to Glenn and his manager Emma Chase interfering. Glenn beat Keith clean two months ago and now Marquez got his shot. Wasn't going to take the title off of Glenn before he gets his match with his mentor and MAYBE turns face. Overall review Wow. I had hoped for one 100 rated match but THREE was insane. The only problem is it's now hard to want to continue this game as I know I won't beat this and with TEW2020 round the corner it may not be worth it, but the following are some more plans if I do continue: Plans going forward Pushes are going to Swoop McCarthy, Masaru Ugaki, Razan Okamoto and the newly arriving Gino Montero. De-pushes to Jack Bruce, Spencer Spade, Steve Frehley and one of Jimmy Hernandez, Rocky Golden or Nicky Champion. Only a few more steals I want to make before I'm basically fully content with my roster; Captain Wrestling II (whose contract annoyingly came up recently during a period at national), Extraordinario Jr, Maurice Jackson, Nicky Gilbert, The Red Devils and Tommy Cornell (if he's not in decline by the time his contract comes around). Of course I want to sign up Tommy Cornell Jr when he debuts but that's five years away yet.
  24. <p>Just finished Supreme Challenge 38 (July 2018) with SWF in the Default Cverse and I must say I don't think I've ever had this much fun with a game of TEW and I think that must be because I'm finally using storylines properly.</p><p> </p><p> Here are the results from Supreme Challenge 38, with the backstory for each match including storylines.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Joey Morgan and Wolf Hawkins defeated The Hero Squad (81)</strong></p><p> It may seem like a thrown-together match but Morgan and Hawkins have been a loose team since January after coming up against Angry Gilmore and Rocky Golden (as somehow ALL COMBINATIONS OF GILMORE/GOLDEN VS HAWKINS/MORGAN IN SINGLES ACTION HAD BAD CHEMISTRY:mad: so I had to roll two feuds into one). After this match Hawkins turned on Morgan, but nobody can quite tell why considering they won the match. Morgan is now a Face (he turned heel on Jack Bruce in 2016) and the two will feud for the coming months.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Jay Chord defeated Rocky Golden (96)</strong></p><p> The main storyline of the past two years of SWF has been the rise of Legacy (yes sorry WWE I stole that name), which is the stable of CV-2 (Cameron Vessey and Casey Valentine), The Keith Brothers (who have bad chem while teaming <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />), Edd Stone, Jay Chord and Bret Starr. This feud is an attempt to push Jay Chord to the main event and replace Bret Starr (whose performance skills are the worst of the main event), and is explained by Chord losing two title shots at Jack Bruce and deciding if he can't take the gold he'll take out Golden.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>KC Glenn defeated Edd Stone and Spencer Spade for the SWF North American title (83)</strong></p><p> Glenn is a heel here as he is the protege of Joey Morgan on-screen as well as in kayfabe, but I won't be turning him with Morgan and eventually lead to a match between the two hopefully at Supreme Challenge 40 to keep the build slow. I'm currently treating the North American title as a high-flying title, and these three are going back and forth over it in a storyline that may continue for a while to elevate all three.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Nicky Champion defeated Bret Starr (94)</strong></p><p> Champion needs to regain some pop after a couple of big losses on PPV recently, and so I chose him to be the one to push Starr back down to upper midcard. This feud will continue though as after the match Starr beat down Champion which (un)fortunately Starr brought up in pop alongside Champion so he may have to stay around until a face reaches the upper midcard that I would put over him. This feud also has the basis of being equivalent to Sam Strong vs. Micky Starr as Champion is the closest Strong has to a male heir.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Amazing Bumfholes defeated CV-2 for the SWF World Tag Team titles (90)</strong></p><p> Another title lost by Legacy as this PPV which could be seen as the stable finally disintegrating, but it won't just yet. The Amazing Bumfholes will probably just be used to hotshot the titles over to El Sindicato (Xavi Ferrara and Felipe Caballero) but this high match rating might make me keep the titles on them tbh, which will give me time to build up El Sindicato more.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Angry Gilmore defeated Matthew Keith (99)</strong></p><p> These two are going to go through a best of five series I have decided, although they don't have positive chem it just seems like the right thing to do. So far they have drawn once and Gilmore has won once. Keith will win the next meeting, then another draw and then it will come down to a 60 minute Iron Man match to decide who wins the feud. Who goes over will depend the disposition of the champion at the time of that match, as the winner of this feud will go on to hold the World Heavyweight title after them.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>El Leon defeated Remo Richardson in a Steel Cell match (100)</strong></p><p> My second 100 on this save and my second involving these two. They have been feuding since January, and after it seemed El Leon had finally toppled the monster Remo returned wearing a suit and shades and with multiple new lackies; forming The Corporation (Remo Richardson, William Hayes, Ray Diaz, Ernest Youngman). The steel cell gimmick was used to avoid any outside interference by The Corporation, and after the match El Leon celebrated, having finally vanquished his foe. Now he goes on to a match for the SWF World Heavyweight title at the next PPV (maybe in a triple threat).</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Antonio Maxi Marquez defeated Jack Bruce for the SWF World Heavyweight title (99)</strong></p><p> I am so disappointed this wasn't an 100 rated match instead of the above, as it was my first opportunity to use the 'Once in a Lifetime' road agent note and I thought it could be a guaranteed 100, but yet again Jack Bruce's lack of selling screws me over. I've been building very slowly to this match since stealing Marquez in May 2016, involving a stable called the Rock Boys (also including Trent Schaffer and Rocky Golden). Marquez finally turned last month and went straight for the title.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Plans going forward</strong></p><p> Next month will see Gilmore vs. Keith III, Marquez vs. Bruce vs. Leon, Champion vs. Starr II, Glenn vs. Ross Henry (he needs depushing), Chord vs. Golden II (this time he will win clean), Morgan vs. Hawkins, The Amazing Bumfholes vs. El Sindicato, and Spencer Spade vs. Sammy Bach (Spade needs to regain momentum and Bach is in time decline), and finally the royal rumble equivalent King of the Jungle battle royal (Unsure on a winner yet).</p><p> </p><p> The main people receiving pushes are Jay Chord, Spencer Spade, KC Glenn, Sonny Wildside and Ernest Youngman. The main people receiving de-pushes are Bret Starr, Sammy Bach, Ross Henry, Rocky Golden (needs to develop selling before returning to main event), The Hero Squad (no plans for Captain Atomic and Jungle Lord is in decline).</p><p> </p><p> I'm hoping to replace Edd Stone with David Stone once he debuts (March 2019) as long as NOTBPW don't sign him straight to a Written.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Current stables:</strong></p><p> <strong>El Sindicato</strong> - Curtis Shaw and Miguel Rivera (Las Barracudas), Xavi Ferrara and Felipe Caballero (El Sindicato), Antonio Maxi Marquez</p><p> <strong>Legacy</strong> - Cameron Vessey and Casey Valentine (CV-2), Bret Starr and Edd Stone (Legacy), Greg Keith, Matthew Keith, Jay Chord</p><p> <strong>The Corporation</strong> - Ray Diaz and William Hayes (The Corporation), Ernest Youngman, Remo Richardson</p><p> <strong>Unaffiliated Tag Teams:</strong></p><p> Ball & Brown (Christopher Ball and Lenny Brown)</p><p> Hero Squad</p><p> Sonny & Spade (Sonny Wildside and Spencer Spade)</p><p> The Amazing Bumfholes</p><p> The Natives (Roger Monteiro and Running Wolf)</p><p> </p><p> Finally <strong>here is a list of previous champions</strong></p><p> SWF North American:</p><p> KC Glenn (current)</p><p> Edd Stone (1 defence)</p><p> Vacant</p><p> Nicky Champion (0 defences)</p><p> Matthew Keith (7 defences)</p><p> Trent Shaffer (3 defences)</p><p> Bret Starr (3 defences)</p><p> Vacant</p><p> Joey Morgan (7 defences)</p><p> </p><p> SWF World Tag Team:</p><p> The Amazing Bumfholes (current)</p><p> CV-2 (7 defences)</p><p> Sonny Wildside & Spencer Spade (4 defences)</p><p> The Platinum Blondes (6 defences)</p><p> The Hero Squad (5 defences)</p><p> The Awesomeness (6 defences)</p><p> </p><p> SWF World Heavyweight:</p><p> Antonio Maxi Marquez (current)</p><p> Jack Bruce (3 defences)</p><p> Remo (5 defences)</p><p> Antonio Maxi Marquez (3 defences)</p><p> Joey Morgan (3 defences)</p><p> Angry Gilmore (7 defences)</p><p> Remo (2 defences)</p><p> </p><p> SWF/PGHW Elite Series (bought them out mid-2017 for the Japan pop and kept the tournaments and events that host them)</p><p> 2018: Matthew Keith</p><p> </p><p> SWF/PGHW Elite Tag Series</p><p> 2017: The Amazing Bumfholes</p><p> </p><p> SWF: King of the Jungle (Winner of Battle royal at Welcome to the Jungle)</p><p> 2017: Nicky Champion</p><p> 2016: Jack Bruce</p>
  25. <p>I'm currently trying to run another sim using Cverse 77 into the present day, but its proving to be practically impossible.</p><p> I have just reached January of 1982 and in the past five years 22 promotions have closed down, leaving only three promotions at Cult and none at National or higher. SWF, GCG, BHOTWG, OLLIE, CWF etc are all gone.</p><p> If anyone has any idea how I could make this sim actually runnable (as in make sure that these promotions do not close, or at least don't close so early and not all at the same time)</p><p> I already had the idea of using the evenplayingfield cheat every so often but that would mean no closures at all, is there any way to have a balance?</p>
