Just wondering if there's anything I can do about this issue rather than artificially reduce the heat and then increasing it to 96 or 97 by making sure i get my multiples right.
I'm currently having an issue with a major storyline in my save where the heat is stuck at 95 rated. This is regularly advanced by 100 rated angles but it cannot be increased past 95 (I'm presuming because this rating is too close to 95). However this causes a problem in that my matches within this storyline suffer from the storyline's lack of heat. This does not ever happen with storylines with 96 or above heat, but it does with 95 and I'm not sure how to fix this if angles with the maximum rating cannot raise the heat.

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).

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?
-
Does anyone have a working download link for either version of this mod?

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.

Hey any chance you can like upload this saves file on here & can download to explore? I wish that was more of a thing in this game. I think it would be interesting to see how other saves evolved.
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

I love that in an alternate reality, Tommy Cornell isn't just handed HGC and has to work his way up from the indies. The above match sounds amazing and something that default database Cornell would never do in a million years, especially not in 2012.
I have only really played in Oceania since 2013, so I'm curious who the biggest stars in the (second) most isolated area in TEW are doing. There's a ton of really great talent at the top end, so I'm surprised the biggest company is only Medium (though it is a pain to get to Big in Oceania as I'm learning right now...)
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 2025I'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

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

Tag Team: Danjuro Kikuchi and Funakoshi
BHOTWG Summit Champion holder: Mokuami Maita
BHOTWG Best of the Super Juniors holder: VENOMNote 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.

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: 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

What does 1 Stamina even look like in-game? I've seen someone with low Stamina but still 25+ start to struggle with 8 minute matches. Could he handle 2 minutes? Or a 5 minute tag match with limited involvement?
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.

"a good athlete"
1 Stamina and 8 Athleticism
Hmm...
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.

I love you SWF but what the hell are you doing paying over $700k per month to a wrestler with 1 stamina.

My brain forgot to fully function for a second because I thought that screenshot implied that a promotion just went hostile on itself.
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
-
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
-
Bonuses. Workers seem to value bonuses (per event as well as merch percentage) to a ridiculous level. Try offering 20% per event and 35% merch. Other than that, I have no idea.
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

You have to be medium sized at a minimum. They have to be available to work in your home area. And you have to have a minimum of Medium broadcasting coverage over said home area. I would guess prestige and momentum would factor in as well but that's not what I focused on.
Basically, no one's going to drop what they're doing to come work for your YouTube championship wrestling company.
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?

The're will be an update out tomorrow bud
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
-
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.

TCW revealed its 13th Pay-Per-View of the year, dubbed Wrestler of the Year. On the PPV, there would be an eight man tournament, the winning walking away with the WOTY trophy!
TCW General Manager Ricky Dale Johnson revealed the 2016 Points Rankings that would establish the tournament brackets. For every win in 2016, a wrestler received one point. But! There were bonus points issued for title victories and special gimmick matches (for example, The Total Mayhem Match). The top eight wrestlers in the rankings were issued a spot in the tournament!
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.
Continuing his (literal) monster push, Ray Diaz demolished Brent Hill to remain undefeated in TCW.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!

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.
What's Going on in Your Game?
in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 General Discussions

I have reached 1987 in my CV77 game and just completed my tenth anniversary show which garnered a full 100 rating with no add-ons used! This is the most proud of have been of any TEW save and I hope you enjoy my write up of the show.
LWF Anniversary X (100) in front of 102,000 fans in the Great Lakes (11.57 TV Rating)
(Pre-Show) Alice Fitz won a 20 Woman Battle Royal (65)
(Pre-Show) Motoichi Arakida won a 25 Man Battle Royal (77)
Both battle royals are only here so that nobody complains about being left off the show, and the numbers are made up with members of the development roster (including Arakida).
Xenos Papadopoulos defeated Wild Man Sullivan (82)
This is just a classic declining physical ability de-push, Sullivan can no longer go in the ring so I put a development worker over him, and after the show he was released as he is not up to snuff to be a road agent sadly.
Red Army (Reona Deguchi, Sachiko Morita and Yuzuka Oyama) defeated Ann Baker, Kalehiwa and Ninja Asuka (Spirit of Vengeance) (81)
Sadako Red's Red Army has expanded in the past few years and looks set to be a major part of the LWF women's division for many years to come. Here they are going over the newest members of the roster that are going to be pushed in the coming months (they have all just improved to a good enough level at our performance centre).
Meriam Hatem defeated Debbie Walsh, Genevieve Acklin, Lin Seo Kim and Zhi-Gong Ling (81)
These five women were feuding over the past year as they are all the sole representatives of their nationalities within LWF at the moment. Hatem was pushing at Well Known when this started while the other four were all Unimportant. They have now all been raised out of the bottom of the card and shall be parts of more interesting feuds going forward.
Panther Tanimoto defeated Tasuku Nandaba (86)
Another time decline de-push here, although it is slightly tied into the storyline involving all the other Japanese male wrestlers in the company having a free-for-all after the stables of Cool Japan, Strong Japan and Cruel Japan all fell apart last year. Nandaba will be staying with LWF as a Road Agent once his perception is down to Recognisable.
The Flying Angels defeated Red Devil Machines, Black Magic II (Candace Williams and Sheila Longstar) and Red Army V (Sadako Red and Ripper Takano) to retain the LWF Women's Tag Team titles (92)
Team Angel (The Flying Angels, Inoue Chiaki and Kumiko Hasegawa) and Red Army have been feuding on and off for many years. Now they are both looking for new recruits, with the teams of Black Magic II and the Red Devil Machines both being primary candidates. This match was The Flying Angels fifteenth(!) defence of their titles, and ended the storyline with both Magic and the Machines being left as their own groups separate from the two factions.
China (Lady) Kitozaki defeated Melissa Monroe and Sakurako Kagawa (93)
Intended to be a feud to catapult Kitozaki up the card quickly before her advancing age caught up with her this sadly fell by the wayside as her pop cap is too small to even reach Star in LWF. But these three women will be solid members of the midcard for now and can consistently have good matches.
Bishima & Shinigami (Gnasher Udo) defeated Kenji Fukamura and Mitsuo Kato to retain the LWF Men's Tag Team titles (91)
Bishima and Shinigami have become the tag team representatives of Nero's Disciples (also including Professor Nero and Mephisto) and recently regained the titles for a third time. They defend here against a loose Japanese pairing as many of our best tag teams have recently been split up or had members released.
Kazuo Mitsushi defeated Dead Silence (82)
The final time decline de-push as Dead Silence has finally reached that age, unfortunate too as he had a good tag team going with El Payaso (named Slapstick)
Jennifer Patrick defeated Anne Stardust and Samira (The) White (95)
This was intended to be the crowning of Stardust as the new number one contender for the Women's World title but unfortunately her pop cap is only 83 for the moment. Thus I just let these women have great matches for the preceding year.
Limb Snappers (Fred Jenkins, Lester McGuire and Mikel de Sota) defeated Don Hunt, Matthew McAllister and Mike Barstow for the LWF Men's Trios titles (100)
A very weird one here as I have absolutely NO idea why this reached 100. All six of these men are members of the Limb-Snappers stable (also involving two other men we shall reach later) but McAllister has just hit time decline so I had to get the title off him and remove him from the group. Ideally the champions should be Hunt, McGuire and Barstow so I shall do some finagling to get that right depending on who the stable's next feud is.
Ryusei Kanai defeated Oyori Kawajiri, Kyoshiro Kanashi, Yodo Nakane, Yoshinaka Toshusai and Yasunari Koga (99)
The six premier Japanese male wrestlers in LWF all going at it in a winner-take-all battle (I now realise this would have been the perfect match to crown an inaugural LWF Men's Intercontinental champion oops). Kanai has always been the best of this bunch but his pop cap keeps him at Star perception when I feel he should be a Major Star (I think because of his lacklustre primary skills outside of his excellent puroresu).
Kumiko Hasegawa defeated Inoue Chiaki to retain the LWF Women's World title (95)
A friendly competition here between two stable mates. Hasegawa is one of only two Major Star women in LWF who seem set to trade the Women's World title back and forth for a long time (or until I can find another woman with a pop cap high enough to take it off them!)
Yumi Yoshikuni defeated Heidi Brooks and Ashley Amazon (99)
The other Major Star is of course Yumi Yoshikuni, who is undoubtedly the final boss of the LWF women's division. She will probably regain the title from Hasegawa in the coming months. Brooks and Amazon are loosely aligned as the Badass Blondes but require a third member (probably Barbie once she increases her skills enough at our performance centre) before I want to make them a major part of programming.
Carlos Arroyo and Dusty Streets defeated Vertigo II (Red Falcon and El Huracán (Huracán Sandoval)) (100)
Another 100 I was surprised by as Arroyo's match ratings are extremely lacklustre (only 84 in this match compared to 96 for Streets). This is part of an extremely even feud that was ongoing between the Bad Boy Crew (Arroyo, Streets, Robbie Gordon and Richie Pangrazzio Jr, managed by Rip Chord) and Outer Space (Falcon, Huracán, Elemental and Quasar, managed by Extraordinario).
Angus McCloud defeated El Payaso (99)
Chief Two Eagles defeated Mephisto (99)
A couple of throwaway matches to get these men on the card. I'm considering turning Payaso heel and joining him up with Nero's Disciples and a tag match here would have been a great tease but unfortunately McCloud and the Chief have negative chem when tagging.
Elemental and Quasar defeated Richie Pangrazzio Jr and Robbie Gordon (99)
The finale of the feud between Bad Boy Crew and Outer Space. I bought out BHOTWG in April 1982 and have been rinsing Elemental ever since despite his low psych cap (only 75). Unfortunately in this match it was discovered that Quasar, one of our most reliable stars, has finally hit time decline, so the reins of Outer Space will be handed over to Elemental now.
Luis Montero defeated Jean-Pierre Baptiste and Ray Kingman (100)
At the start of the year Luis Montero was set upon by the Limb Snappers (Kingman and Baptiste are the two further members of the group I mentioned earlier) after winning the Men's World title. A series of fantastic matches ensued, including 100 rated matches between Montero and Jenkins, Montero and Kingman AND Montero and Baptiste. This finale was set up to be a fantastic match and it did NOT disappoint. Montero will be in and around the title scene in the coming months.
George DeColt defeated Professor Nero (99)
George DeColt was the latest victim of Nero's Disciples, but here he has truly overcome them once and for all. DeColt will also be moving into the World title picture as both he AND Montero have 100 pop across the US.
Sam Strong defeated Micky Starr for the LWF Men's World title (100)
Micky Starr turned on Sam Strong at LWF Anniversary IX, being jealous of Strong's rapid rise to the top of LWF. Originally Strong was a part of Starr's Team Lionheart but now they are sworn enemies. This is Strong's first major world title in ANY promotion and it seems as though it certainly won't be the first. I am so so glad this got a 100 rating as this makes me feel that I'm being true to canon in some way by having these two have a potential match of the year.
The only five wrestlers I have yet to get hold of that I wish I could have on my roster are Dan Stone, Pat Deacon, Preston Holt, Sadaharu Jimbo and Yoshifusa Maeda but all of these are either tied up with ownership/booking duties or loyalties in other companies. I am still holding out hope for more of the women's roster being able to reach Major Star status but I think this won't happen with any of our current main roster workers.
