<p>Wrestling was nerfed overall because strikers are so much more dangerous in this version.</p><p> </p><p> In 4 if you weren’t Lamont Banner who has supercharged striking stats you weren’t winning on the feet until you go to the point where everyone was world class on the ground and you essentially had two grapplers in a boxing contest.</p><p> </p><p> In this game being on the feet is always dangerous for wrestlers because of the prevalence of one punch knockouts or how buffed TKOs after hurting guys are. </p><p> </p><p> Bassett’s stats were also on the lower end so he really shouldn’t have been that good outside of an exceptional destiny roll and generally favorable mechanics.</p>

He was a pariah around these parts . He understood why, he tried to keep himself looking young, but there was no doubts about the bits of grey stubble that appeared on his chin every other night. He was getting old, and married life had softened him, no... wizened him to the misdeeds of his previous life. There was a strong feeling of resentment in Akira, a world class athlete, big, powerful and technical, and yet his pro wrestling career had been nothing more than an afterthought. Even worse, he felt like he had missed his window, now a shell of himself athletically due to age and abuse of the body. He never dabbled with anything too heavy, but years of alcohol abuse and other "soft" drugs took it's toll. Even worse, Akira had been so hard to work with in the past he has alienated himself from the major wrestling promotions in Japan, he COULD go to a young upstart like QUEST or an even bigger longshot like TC3, but he wasn't interested in being a small cog in a wheel for accompany that would never get off the ground. Akira had made money in his lifetime, he had to maintain his party lifestyle somehow, he was popular and charismatic and tended to drive his price up more than perhaps he was even worth, he had a gift of gab and could sell himself better than most. But still, he felt empty and unfulfilled, he was rich, married and could settle down with a family and live a comfortable life, but the competiveness that drove him to the near tops of the Judo world still stuck with Akira, he was a very good judoka, one of the top judokas in Japan, and even competed internationally as a Japanese representative, but even then, Akira came up short, never truly becoming the best. He thought to himself how he was sober for almost 3 years now, no drinking to get drunk and even then it was every once in a while, no drugs, no pills. Japan was wide open to be taken... the World was wide open to be taken. He sees all of the talent out there floundering, all of the youngsters that scream star, all of the outcasts frustrated by the big two and looking for a home. It was time for Akira to finally realize his potential, it was time for Akira to be THE MAN, not as a performer, but as THE MAN behind the curtain. The man with real power, the sole owner and proprietor of the greatest professional wrestling company in the world.

Definitely didn't expect Torment to win clean. I must be missing the plot here, Summit is in 3 weeks and the NA Champion has no match or even conceivable match that isn't a random rematch with no build against a guy with minimal momentum. Puder vs Torment isn't really doable anymore since Puder just lost to the guy twice and now lost clean in not even 15 minutes. I feel like we're pigeonhold into a random Matty Faith match or even worse a random match with someone like Primus Allen who has been dead in the water all year. Guess I'll have to wait and see, maybe something big behind the scenes is brewing.

At this point in the play through, we've now move to phase 2, which is the mid game of the challenge, at this point we will be slowly building our stars up, managing their popularities to not be too high, then signing them to Written deals when Cult is achieved. After Cult is achieved and we continue to grow nationally, we will likely start to get picked up by PPV broadcasters in both the US and Mexico, at this point we can continue operating out of the Queendome until we make enough with PPV and Live Gate to make a GLOBAL broadcaster which covers the entire world. From here, it simply a matter of continuing to produce good shows, and the tricky part, which will be winning National Battles against the top male companies without access to established workers or a high pool of Star Quality. I will attempt to also mitigate this by creating a 100 reputation dojo as soon as possible with only female graduates. New gen is set to high so its possible I get lucky. I only need one or two women to generate with 90+ star quality as I can simply brute force them to the top regardless of what their other stats or even overness cap is so I can win the National Battle and not take the popularity hits. At very high level of popularity, particularly those required to hit Global(greater than 85 in the entire US) the types of hits you will get from National Battle defeats simply isn't sustainable, since rate of growth around 90 overness is basically slowed to a crawl, unless you can sustain 95 rated shows almost all of the time(unlikely unless you angle cheese).

February Acquisitions: Queendome (Venue), Zenith (Broadcaster) Shiori Jippensha, Sally Anne Christenson Departures: Charity Sweet (Fired), Zenith Arena(Sold and upgraded) Couple of things, Zenith Arena was sold for about 60 percent of what I paid for it, and then upgraded to a full 30k seater, it still sells out so its strictly more efficient. Jippensha and Christenson were hired just because they are good and I lost a bit of talent recently. Zenith broadcaster is ultimately the goal we were shooting for, selling out 15 shows of 30k seats netted me nearly 11 million dollars in a month, which I used at the very end of February to avoid the most amount of taxes and misc random embezzlement costs. Overall I spent 22 million dollars on a Free to Air Medium broadcaster in US and Very Small in Mexico. The reason for the Medium broadcaster is because I had extra money and I dumped it into the broadcaster rather than lose it to taxes anyway. The Charity Sweet situation is insanely sad, not only because she was an amazing worker due for an instant push as soon as TV came, not only because she was a feature in one of my best headline tag teams for the length of the save, but also because she has a very positive personality as well. She was essentially my prized prospect, and totally homegrown. Ultimately she ended up getting a 3 week or so injury with a Swollen Maritime Elbow early in February, by the time she came back she suddenly developed an insane crippling painkiller addiction so I am forced to release her and she will probably never work again despite being one of the best in the database. Unlike 2013 or any previous games, drug habits in 2016 are basically non-negotiable, they essentially function as de factor career ending injures, and reclamation projects are no longer possible. I've actually put in the tech support for this to be looked at as a bug, since it is so incredibly unintuitive of a feature especially how nicely this used to work, workers who have drug habits will never reform in this version of the game, and the rehab feature specifically designed for this game is completely worthless due to how inefficient it is. I took a look at the editor(without adjusting or saving anything) apparently Sweet developed a painkiller addiction of 84 within 3 weeks of a fairly minor injury. She has almost no negative personality markers that would cause this, its purely bad RNG. Now even if I had access to rehab, she'd essentially be gone about a year for some 4-5 percent improvement from what I've observed. Meaning it would probably take about 30 years for her to get even remotely clean. Meanwhile, what I have notice, and again, this is probably in line with how seemingly buggy this feature is as a whole, is that any slightest drug habit will spiral out of control extremely quickly, going up and up with no rhyme or reason. The last time I observed this was a long game where I tried to use the dirty doctor, only for half of my lockeroom (especially the females for some reason) to develop debilitating soft drug addiction. In 6 months like 7-8 people were near the 50 percent threshold for soft drug abuse, and I had about 4 people in rehab which did virtually nothing. Sigh. First show in the Queendome, sold out 30k immediately. Melody had taken the Shockwave title off Connie just to give her something to do. Foxxy is also working on a heel turn. Somewhat arbitrarily changed my show mainly so I didn't have to deal with the BS that comes with booking Legendary importance shows all the time. At this point I will sell out 30k even with a regular normal importance event so there is no need for the big event. The plan was originally to have Charity Sweet come back and help Kate in her feud with the newly turned Foxxy LaRue, who's heel turn was caused by Kate beating her in a swimsuit contest and being viewed as more attractive by the fans. Unfortunately Charity is now a junkie of some sort and will no longer be wresting, press F to pay respects. The 3x Tag Champions! As of March 1st, I now have a TV show called "QAW: Ladies Night" that will air every Monday. From there I will run 2 additional sub-shows + 1 annual event for a total of 13 shows a month. A little less than the 16 I had been running, but it's no longer necessary to run as many with the infrastructure we have set up.

January Acquisitions: None Departures: Ms Melanie Flyman(Golden Delicious)(Fired) Houston Handley (Fired) Playboy Jake Sawyer(Fired), Eve Runcord (Contract Expired) More downsizing, none of these workers were anything spectacular, Sawyer was fired after Flyman was because he was her manager. I actually didn't want to fire Melanie in particular, I had kept Houston around because Melanie and her were friends, but instead I just decided to fire them both and be done with it. Runcord will likely be brought back at some point, but she wasn't doing anything and I didn't feel like resigning her. Overall January I took the month off, let some skills settle down, let some contracts run out, and only ran 4 shows. Still made a ton of money. This also goes to show how useless running a "normal" schedule is in TEW, in TEW you don't get over by developing a ton of marketable stars, or running the best shows in the world, you do by running sheer quantity, thus any gameplay strategy that does not revolve around this is invalid.

Awards! We are literally the best, thus we deserve massive amounts of exposure and money. Authors side note, never managed company of the year my first year with company before, but this speaks to how ridiculous QAWs early game is, not to mention, and more importantly, I had access to the two ace womens workers in the entire database completely organically, something that is extremely untrue for pretty much any male company, even companies of National size due to contracts. The end result is you have disproportionate amounts of talent only focusing on womens workers than a similar size male companiy working off literally the scrapyard. Sure by the time you are National you can still get enough pure talent to replicate this, but rarely do you get them so immediately. You did it Connie! You showed them all! They said you were a washed up journy(wo)man at the end of her career, and you took home Tag Team of the Year after coming off the Unemployment line! As an aside this is what Connie (and several others) look like after a year of QAWs extreme schedule. Static Star Quality this is the last year I deal with you! J-Ro narrowly edges Strong, but I think only because she got here first. J-Ro finished 2nd In Power 500 and Strong finished 3rd. 1st was the late Sean McFly who took him his final Wrestler of the Year award posthumously, he actually died in May and only wrestled 18 matches. Next year assuming no one dies again, Alicia should have the award locked down as well as Female Wrestler of the Year. Obviously. I will also probably get this virtually every year except towards the very end. Company of the Year the same. Before I signed another ref she reffed basically all my matches for my shows and got super buffed, shes like a 98 refererring now. I ended up signing another ref worried she might die or something and Id be screwed, but shes the best ref in the world by far. I have no idea which show this was. Perhaps I should've numbered them. Honestly I really don't even care, they basically are all the same to me. They aren't even shown on television, after broadcast my shows will actually feel alive and I can care about giving them names. I did it! Never sleep on Grandma Ogiwara! I'm the best old-timer ever, the baddest woman in the nursing home. You whipper snappers! I'll put you in the feared Toe Hold! Oh wit that's just a regular move these days.... We cleaned up in general this award season. Also, this happened around this time. Hmm....you know Lauren your personal life is your own but uh.... yeah.

DECEMBER Signings : None Departures: Teresa Perez(Fired), Ginko Kuroda(Fired), Hellcat (Signed to NOTBW), Lora Washington (Signed to NOTBW) Perez and Kuroda should've never been signed in the first place, they just were signed because of why not reasons, this ultimately came back to bite me when actual assets became available later like Melody and Lauren Easter who are must haves for my company, this is also a good example and lesson on why not hiring workers just because you appear to have the space for them is important. Hiring workers forgoes opportunity costs for when truly valuable workers become available and leads to roster bloat, and roster bloat is not only a real problem at the booking screen, it's very much a save killer, coming from personal experience. Hellcat and Washington could've been saved, I simply didn't care to outbid NOTBW for them, they are actually on the lower end on the company hierarchy and likely would've been demoted to extra soon anyway. 21k is a company high! Woo! As you can see, even before they left the company, Hellcat and Lora weren't up to anything too remarkable. Just working general midcard fodder matches. Sweet And Sour have been promoted to having actual feuds for a while now, even though they usually end up losing. Baby steps. Ronins drop the title, mainly because I can't have two of my best heel singles workers tied up in a tag team too long, especially when Joanne is still essentially the companies top heel. Featured Attraction sort of get the rub here by default, as fairly standard and over babyface team, its there second title run in a year, so they are well on their way to being a pretty historically important tag team. The Tag Titles have changed hands quite often and probably will continue to do so as the nature of the division, but my World title has only changed hands twice this year in spite of my single months being closer to half a year for most companies. A 6 month reign in QAW is borderline 2 years in a normal company. So couple of things here, most important is the location here. The Zenith Arena is a custom venue I created using the investments tab. Any venue under 30k seats is ridiculously cheap especially relative to my income at this point. By using my own 25k seat venue I'm essentially paying a third of the normal hiring cost for the venue. Furthermore, once it's time to expand and move up to the next venue, I can sell this venue and recoup about 500k of the 750k I used to buy it in the first place, meaning it's just purely profitable at this point to do so, it also classifies as a "Hotbed" as all created venues are, and gives you a small attendance bonus. Our main event here has Alicia Strong taking her first QAW World title, and the setup is that Connie Morris was trying to cheat for Gorgon but Featured Attraction intervened, setting up a main event tag title feud between Featured Attraction and the Missouri Bruisers. The old tried and true. The New Day/Usos of QAW. We've also pivoted to using the new Ronin 3 team of Juana Hurrican and Jillian Jarvis, who again have chemistry together, which frees up company ace heel Joanne Rodrigruez to ace heel things. First sell out of the new arena! 25k strong and massive money lining our pockets. Hell Cat gets to leave QAW on her back, over and over. She jobs about 3-4 times straight to Perfect Higa, both grooming the young future star as well as jobbing her out on the way to Canada. Honestly the lost overness doesn't even matter, as it wont be used in Canada. Higa's overness is also locked currently and she didnt get any overness from any of the wins over Hellcat, so she'll likely need some heavy farming of recent fortunes and/or a turn. She was pretty mad about losing without any protection so much, but by the time she comes back to QAW, if ever, she'll have forgotten by then so I cant be bothered to care. Melody gets her first main event feud with Strong after a big setup, Melody has been pretty stagnant, as most of my workers have been. I am unsure what causes this weird overness lock where people don't gain overness the traditional way of beating more popular stars. It happens seemingly at random and for no reason in particular. That being said, we've worked around it by abusing angles, the old tried and true. This also marks Connie Morris as the first dual champion in the save, holding both the Tag and Shockwave titles. For when you really have nothing foor your workers, bust out the rare bikini contest! Hey QAW may be about womens wrestling and not sleezy T and A, but that doesn't mean the Queens arent body positive and sexy! Despite running the same amount of shows I've managed a whopping 7 overness points off the starting pace of 4 per show set in the original days. At this point, I sell Zenith Arena and create the Queendome, a 30k seater, as this is essentially where I'll be indefinitely barring and continued crazy rates of growth. Mind you, at high levels of overness that 5 percent better becomes increasingly difficult, and soon even low 90s won't cut it for pop advancements. The takeover is real! By this rate, we'll likely be nationally broadcasted by March, then the next phase of the journal starts as we approach the ever tricky mid game. QAW has a trickier mid game than most due to being a pop = perf company and having higher rates of organic pop growth. The main goal of the mid phase is to reach Cult with a good bankroll and with our workers just popular enough that they don't refuse to sign written deals with us due to being too popular, which most of our main event would currently fail if their mid south popularity mirrored their national popularity. Meaning, as it stands, if national pop caught up to pop in Midsouth for most of my main players, I'd lose the majority of my Main event by contract end, and even worse, wouldnt be able to bid on hem if NOTBW or USPW came knocking. For a lot of the regional male companies, especially those with Pop >> Perf or Pop > Perf , I work around this by only pushing old workers in decline, but for a company like QAW this is impossible, not only because its Perf = Pop but there aren't actually enough geriatric women workers in the database.

Updating this afternoon with Decemeber, end of year awards and January.

The idea of having non GDS diaries in the voting for GDS diary awards is like WWE including AEW/NJPW guys in their Slammy’s.

<p>Hmm, it still feels strange, because Jakob Yoder initially always seemed like he was going to be a big deal in RMW, but the 5 years in RIPW made him miss his window so to speak and now he’s relegated to tag team specialist duties as the new wave of RMW/CWL graduates and signings fill in the top of the card.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Also unrelated but would you mind including the GWC Title histories in the front page as well please?
