TLCJR4LIFE

Nah just a different style. Although I may or may not have a narrative diary planned after this using this same save game once Global is reached. Look out for it I’m mapping everything out in my head and it should be pretty fun.

Thank you, she's another one who obviously will permanently be a big part of QAW but one who I am in no big rush to push, at least until the next "stage" of the playthrough in a sense, where a lot of the old guard will be not so much pushed out but rotated in a sense, some will fall to be permanent midcard fixtures or tag team specialists. It's sad in a sense, this is LIKELY the avenue that a QAW legend like Jillian Jarvis is headed to, because she lacks star quality, charisma and overall big main event qualities that some of the workers on my roster lying dormant currently have (PERFECT Higa being the most obvious but also true for Kate Sour, Charity Sweet, Amber Allen and of course Lauren Easter herself). That being said, at least in QAW and generally how I book tag wrestling in accordance to how somewhat mechanically OP it is in TEW, there is no shame in being a tag specialist in TEW especially when you develop chemistry and experience these matches as you see are usually among the best matches on the card. It's definitely a space where the likes of the Missouri Bruisers, Ronin 2 and so on will reside and dominate for years(at least until the Bruisers) hit decline which probably will be towards the end of the playthrough, both Bruisers are quite old)

NOVEMBER Signings: None Releases: Vivian Howard (Fired) You may have noticed "Cousin Viv" hasn't appeared on a card in ages, I neglected to mention she broke her neck a few months ago and is out for a year. I've been holding onto her because she's well beyond her years in the ring, but she has no SQ and I tried to get her up in weight and she just got Flabby and lost what little SQ she had so I fired her. I may resign her like 3 years from now when she can lose the weight again, besides she's still out for almost another 9 months. It's official we're washed up. Ogiwara more out of touch than Vince McMahon. QAW is on the decline. Time to watch NXT. On a serious note, I had started getting a lot of weak show grades. The reason is Overuse Penalties . These may not look like much but through extensive testing I've seen as much as 5-6 points knocked off a show grade just because an Opener was used in too long of a match, this is essentially what happens here, as I had used my lower carders and jobbers in matches with upper carders to get them experience and good grades in their matches. This can be circumvented by booking these matches as 9 minute squash matches, as anything over 10 minutes will tank your show grade. Also please do not adjust your monitor, I actually used a manager for once. This isn't something I will be consistent with, I just did it, pretended I'd keep doing it, then didn't do it again. Maybe some day. There's a lot going on here, not only did I sign way too many new workers, a couple of injured ones including Amber Allen came back. Im in a decent pickle here, as ""QAW Live" is essentially one show, and due to my massive grades under this show name, it's now risen to Legendary show status. Now this is basically a double edged sword. On one hand, the fact that it is a Legendary event brings me often 2-5 thousand more fans than I should be getting per show, which is an insane amount of monthly revenue. On the other hand, because the event is so important, literally everyone including the managers and enhancement talents will be furious about not being on the show. Obviously, the lower the position on the card the less angry, Main Eventers will be outright furious while jobbers and managers will be annoyed. This adds basically a lot of pressure to use everyone every show, which normally wouldn't be a huge deal, but given it is one of my few house rules to book at least somewhat realistically, its a big problem with creativity and general booking fatigue. Obviously otherwise I'd just run a battle royale every show, instead of running it once a month or so as I do now. It's an even bigger problem now that my roster is bloated, but I would rather continue to gain the extra revenue than start at Normal again and have less strict booking, because ultimately the main goal here is to get the huge amount of cash I need to get the TV deal rather than be an awesome e-booker who makes compelling storylines and awesome e-cards. While the suspension of belief is already teetering on the edge when we are realistically looking at 15 thousand people coming to see a womens only promotion that never leaves the Mid South and isn't on TV almost 15 times a month, the general idea, again, is that you should be able to look at the numerous cards I've posted here and believe they could actually be real wrestling cards you'd pay to see. Meaning they have some semblance of coherence, consistency and booking logic. Moved on to the generic venue at this point since we are consistently selling out Clover Fields. Also of note, to solve the conundrum above I have started to integrate more usage of pre and post show since I find these to be realistic and logical place to have my myriad of throwaway matches without polluting the general vibe of the main card. Notable, Melody debuted fairly recently for my company and remains the only one on the roster who can take a win off Strong without her being obscenely angry, Strong dwarves almost everyone other than Melody in National popularity and is consistently among the most popular or the most popular in the Mid South. Melody is a mentor of Ariel Breaks, which gives me yet another backstage relationship, and more potential for game-y stat boosting via backstage incidents. Look at all those extra fans! Alas we see the benefits of having and abusing a legendary event, 19k in a generic venue which is almost +3000 what we are expecting. That's big money and will reflect in our monthly finances report. Alicia Strong wins the monthly obligatory battle royale, only this one is for a storyline number 1 contender spot. Alicia Strong vs Gorgon is set for early December... you can guess who's going over. Connie Morirs takes the strap off Lora Washington who no longer is going to be used to defile attractive midcarders, instead I'll likely be giving her an actual feud with a main eventer given shes been a consistent main eventer since she joined the company shes just been used more like a midcarder who wins a lot. Morris is solid and can make the most of throwaway matches, plus there's feud potential there to make the Shockwave title implications a little less boring and static. Connies essentially been consistently involved with feuds and storylines since joining the company. Ronin 2 is the team of Jillian Jarvis and Juana Hurrican who I was furious to find out had tag chemistry together. The reason this agitated me so much was because I had tried out Parisi and Jarvis in a match and never did Juana, I could've replaced Ronin 3 a long time ago and not waited until J-Ro came along, although it arguably makes more sense now with the current power structure, as Jarvis is essentially the second in command to J-Ro rather than the faction leader. I'm actually not sure why, but I'm gaining now a huge 6 overness per month now. Now I had, since I started the save updated to a more recent patch, which may have affected the growth rates for smaller companies or in general. It may also have to do with my usage of a legendary show so persistently, granted the entire run was not on shows of high importance, far from it. The first few months after getting the importance up I swapped it to my Crowning the Queen event, then the second time I swapped it to Sweet September Summit. Recently is the first time I've consistently run on this event, and it may be affecting pop gains, this isn't something I have thoroughly researched though and is just speculative. Either way, it's pretty insane now, as I probably will be selling out 30k arenas soon. Also I now realize I was representing my popularity incorrectly, me being stupid I forgot that in order to show your pop at the end of a given month you'd show the start of the next month's pop, not that current month's pop. At least I finally fixed it. And here we see one of TEWs quirks. Money comes in bunches, you are either making a little of it or a LOT of it very little in between. Once you start making money it snowballs to extreme heights, it's only going to get crazier from here. And this unknown miscellaneous cost will get crazier right with it.

OCTOBER Signings: Crusher Ichihara, Kuniko Matsura, Pee-Wee Germaine, Playboy Jake Sawyer, Lauren Easter, Vinny Cruz, Houston Handley, Teresa Perez, Melody, Ginko Kuroda Releases: Concepcion Gomez I... may have overdone it on the signing spree. I don't even know why I signed so many people, but I will try to explain most of them HERE GOES. Crusher Ichihara was brought in to mentor PSYCHO Hashimoto, I will eventually be bringing in Thunder Hike and have the full Magic 3 in backstage rolls when I get the chance. Now if you notice, her and Kuniko Matsura are both Japan only, but I went and did a local show in Kanto and hired them as local and used them on the show to bring them to the US. Matsura is an extremely positive backstage influence and should be a solid worker in time. Pee-Wee Germaine was brought in because I got tired of having only one referee, even if she is now some super referee with like 98 refereeing. It's not necessary or even efficient, but Lawrence could die or something, plus Pee Wee is a nice guy. Extremely positive influence and I'll about spamming backstage bonuses. Playboy Jake Sawyer is male valet im using to maybe develop another relationship backstage for more bonuses, plus he's a manager and managers are honestly pretty good in this game. They give bonuses to segments and matches without having to do anything "for having managerial help", even moreso if you find one with chemistry. Overall, charisma/mic and all that is just a bonus. Lauren Easter is very good. Not much to say about her. She isn't over at all yet but she'll get a push once I get on TV, shes one of the best workers in the world. Vinny Cruz gets a shot at redemption, Im going to try to put him on J-Ro so he can have a loose affiliation with Ronin 3 again. Tex-Mex gets rehired because I felt bad about canning them and need a heel tag team to replace the departing Vanguard. Melody is a main eventer in her prime whos contract expired. USPW literally didn't even bid for her so I got her on the cheap. Ginko Kuroda I don't know. I just signed her impulsively, don't judge me. Also this happened You may notice these are some pretty astronomical contracts, chalk that up to NOTBW attempting to raid me heavily. Of course, I simply rebuked them by trumping their offers with massive deals. Now you may think, wow those are some really high numbers for a regional company. Well here's the thing, I have like 2.5 million dollars in the bank, these three contracts don't even total 100k a month of my massive profits. Two, and most importantly, I'm running about 15 shows per month. Quick maffs on the Alicia Strong deal 2980 per appearance x 15 = 44,700. So basically I'm already paying all 3 workers more than what they are making on this downside to beat out NOTBWs offer, plus the extra perks I through in for Strongs contract (for some reason the AI was abnormally aggressive and persistent with her in particular) don't even matter because even in some world I was massively depushing Strong(lol) I'd just renegotiate her contract as she's on a PPA. Same for her having Creative Control. Which I don't care about either because she will never fail to be protected in a loss anyway. At this point we are literally the best company in the world. 96 show rating is ridiculous and I rarely hit this even in my other PSW game, mostly due to how OP Perf = Pop is. It allows you to abuse good stats better than almost every other company type. Main feuds at this point are Alicia Strong/Sensational Ogiwara and Featured Attraction feuding with Ronin 3. Foxxy and McFly and Lora Washington vs Sweet and Sour. Couple of things, regarding the Magnificent 3, I'm slowly getting them wins on lower carders, but don't expect a real push. I'm just slowly grinding stats, experience and keeping their recent fortunes and momentums high for their eventual push. I have big plans for all 3, but there is not advantage of pushing them early. I don't want them to be hugely popular in the Mid South and nowhere else, plus I would like to keep wages down for when I hit Cult and give everyone Writtens. Money will not matter for quite a bit in the mid game of this playthrough, however it will eventually be used to hit Global so it still very important. Short title run for Strong/Ogiwara. One because I(Sensational Ogiwara) am old, and two because Ronins (Jarvis and Rodrigues) have tag chemistry and I wanted to put them in a position of prominence on the cards. Plus Strong is more of a singles worker given shes the absolute top talent in the company by a decent margin. Granted at this point, Strong has like a 99 in Psychology due to artificial stat pumping by my avatar whos is her mentor, if I were to stop running shows completely for 2-3 months or she'd get hurt shed go all the way down, but until she gets injured she will maintain her superhero status even if I dramatically decreased my show output. Seriously I could switch right now to 5 shows month and it would take her a very long time to normalize. Money Inc is the team of Ms Melanie Flyman and Concepcion Gomez, managed by Playboy Jake Sawyer. No chemistry at all for the group, so overall pretty meh. I'd fire Concepcion for being mediocre and a bad influence later in the month so it was a short lived group. I'm flying through the venues here, as I'm gaining crazy pop per show based on my sky high show grades. Moved to another generic venue to maximize economy, as the 10k seater loses a few tickets. Alexis Lee Littlefeather is the new Shockwave champion, this was done for no reason other than to give me an excuse to prolong certain feuds. A scouting trip, rather than a genuine attempt at expanding. I likely will not bother trying to expand like this, as it is inefficient, extremely so. What I will do is either attach them on to my broadcaster eventually or I will buy out a company from those locations I wish to expand to and absorb their pop. In Japan its super easy, as a combination of the Tsunami and their weird obsession with inefficient touring schedules consistently bankrupts half the companies in glorious Nippon and you can just buy them out and take their beds. I booked this card like a fanservice special card where Ichihara attacks Ogiwara at the end of the show as a nod to olden times. I couldn't do an actual match as Ichihara is apparently totally shot unlike Ogiwara and Hike and no longer has wrestling stats. Probably one of my worst shows in a while, I took this as like a TV/setup event rather than having big matches here. Breaks the monotony up plus its convenient as it allows you to get your main eventers wins by booking them against people lower on the card. Ronins/Flower Power have had an excellent series of matches in there min-feud. Ultimately, this first venture into Clover Fields is almost marginally profitable vs a generic venue due to how many seats are still needed to sell out, but it's a good start and we are still making money. Very close to a sellout near the end of the month! This is Lauren Easters first big match in QAW and you can already see how good she is despite not being over at all, I think at the time she was in the 30s in pop in Mid South and still tore it down. Tex-Mex were brought in to job to my other better tag teams, and are doing the job at least decently, albeit they have very low relative stats due to not being in my crazy ecosystem very long. Ultimately another much slower show where main eventers aren't flying at each other in multi (wo) man matches, but the event was salvaged by yet another world class match between the Missouri Bruisers and Alicia Strong + random fill in. jk Tamara you are great. Continuation of the Strong/McFly Bruisers feud but in separate singles matches. Strong vs Morris was one of the worst matches of Strongs QAW career thus far, but it received a huge penalty for storyline heat for some reason. Yes I had poor Matsura shoot tshirts, shes not very good and is an enhancement talent and I had no match for her. Actually went through a run after being white hot for most of September in October with relatively mediocre shows, this min event is just another example of that. What's happening is the expectations due to the intersection of stats and overness is not meeting the match quality, generally due to limitations of the workers. What does that mean? It means an 80/80/80/80/70 as an example, Gorgon with 70 pop vs an 80/80/80/80/70 McFly with 60 pop is received much differently than the same stats on 90 and 80 pop workers. As popularity increases expectations do as well, which does make sense. They are graded and penalized more heavily for psychology and selling, neither of the two are exception in this regard although they are definitely good enough. The end result is they have worse graded matches than when they were less popular. This is yet another reason under most normal circumstances, it's very important to control and limit overness of sub National employed workers. As we're getting into the 90s with fair regularity, our jumps are getting even higher and we get 5 overness this month. On pace for near global levels of pop in the Midsouth by next year. We're also slowly getting pretty noticeable spillover into the other regions, which is nice as it will slightly speed up our progress to Cult. Random miscellaneous cost, I shake my fist at you!

Haven’t updated in a while so I’ll be doing two possibly three entires tonight.

This interests me. Starting roster is interesting, seems to really be lacking in stars in their prime, but obviously there’s talent there.

<p><span style="font-size:24px;">SEPTEMBER</span></p><p> </p><p> Signings: <strong>PERFECT Higa(Fuyiko Higa), HEART Saitoh, PSYCHO Hashimoto (Yu Hashimoto) aka the Magnificent 3</strong></p><p> </p><p> Releases: <strong>Dunton Hall, Ellie May Walton</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="hjNtMpM.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hjNtMpM.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> So I had mentioned before about a legitimate workaround tactic to utilize foreign talent, this is going to be the first time this tactic is used in this diary to strengthen my roster and build a mini dynasty for the future. As stated previously, all roads for womens wrestling go through Little Miss Perfection and I decided now was an opportune time to establish a connection with 5SSW before I pissed everyone off by expanding too much and that option became closed off to me. From here I simply exchanged about 5,000 cash for Yu Hashimoto and HEART Saitoh. Fuyiko Higa already is eligible to work in the US so I simply signed her to a regular pay per appearance deal.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="9HgpMgQ.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9HgpMgQ.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Now when you loan a worker, you <strong>MUST USE THEM ON THE SHOW.</strong> If the worker is not used, the new area will not become available. I used both Hashimoto and Saitoh on a Live show, and once the show was over, they became eligible to work in the USA where I signed them to long term deals.</p><p> </p><p> The Magnificent 3 are the 3 protegees of the Magic 3. PERFECT Higa the protegee of Thunder Hike, HEART Saitoh the protegee of me, Sensational Ogiwara, and PSYCHO Hashimoto the protegee of Crusher Ichihara.</p><p> </p><p> Not much to say about the releases, Dunton Hall was not useful and Ellie Marie Walton was released due to poor skills and her partner Jane Marie Bowen will be converted into a singles wrestler.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="5QXXzRJ.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5QXXzRJ.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Couple of notes here for the first show of the month, first of all mostly very generic stuff here, but Team RIOT is the new team of Hashimoto and Saitoh. They were thrown into a multi tag match with veterans so they wouldn't be too badly exposed. They also arrived before Higa did because Loans are instant and contracts are not.</p><p> </p><p> Joanne Rodriguez of course demanded protection to lose to Sweetheart, but the match was still amazing in spit of that. And from there we segue into a Ronin 3 feud with the new Strong + Ogiwara team and the champion Danielle Sweetheart being dragged along for the ride.</p><p> </p><p> In general, my booking of QAW this is really common, the shows revolve around the top stars because they grade the best, the champion may or may not be lucky enough to be featured in all of the big main events depending on logistics, but I don't build around my world title as much as the workers themselves because I don't need to, the title prestige has consistently stayed maxed anyway.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="O0W4oi8.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/O0W4oi8.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Finally selling out the Friedman Building!</p><p> </p><p> You may notice I occasionally do random mishmash tag matches, that's usually just me fishing for tag chemistry, that being said, I haven't found any in the midcard or blow since gamestart, so that's a little unlucky although I feel bad complaining when I already have 4 tag teams with good chemistry and now a 5th with Joanne + Jarvis.</p><p> </p><p> The "Alliance" angle is just a group promo, there's no default group promo for more than 2 people and I'm too lazy/It was faster to do this instead.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="1BCsati.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1BCsati.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The Magnificent 3 debut as a group and take down the legend. This is by the way, why I always pick a wrestling avatar, not necessarily an active one, but one that is CAPABLE of wrestling. You essentially become a giant overness farm, being able to job yourself out with impunity and then just get it all back again. At this point, my avatar Ogiwara is in the 80s in pop in the Mid South, so she can give any prospect I deem fit the rub without the normal morale hits associated with it.</p><p> </p><p> Other things of note, first time I've done a main event 5 v 5, but there has been a lot of shows in a short period of time and sometimes you just get low on ideas. Basic idea is constantly face the main eventers against each other with varying wins and losses and they will always grade top notch and keep their momentum. Just don't have them lose a bunch of matches in a row and occasionally have them beat midcarders.</p><p> </p><p> Also I'm back to charisma training Connie Morris because I had stopped doing that for a while and she's already in the 50s for all of her entertainment skills.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="jUn4r6b.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jUn4r6b.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Another named event, I switched to the Ranch because it's a hotbed and it actually ruined my streak of sellouts. Weird.</p><p> </p><p> I'm eventually planning to make this my season finale, but for now it probably wasn't booked like once since there is still continuity on this show. For the first year, Crowning the Queen starts as the Season finale by default so I just left it until I stopped liking the idea of having a tournament as my season finale.</p><p> </p><p> Gorgon ends the 6 or so month reign of Dannielle Sweetheart, and becomes a double champion in QAW.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Lora Washingtons strip gimmick is still going on, and she actually is driving some of the first midcard storylines I've used in this save, which is now much easier that everyone is fairly over and skilled.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="ZbOwW2f.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZbOwW2f.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Yet another one of my aborted storyline arcs, originally Lora Washington and Foxxy were supposed to be a tag team but then I realized if I did that I wouldn't have enough solo heels so this never took off running. ESPECIALLY since later in the show I turned Anderson and Snyder babyface after an emotional match with Sweet and Sour. </p><p> </p><p> Ultimately I ended up keeping Tamara in a feud with Foxxy and had Lora with a proper feud with Sweet and Sour as a solo entity.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="wcCkXom.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wcCkXom.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Still pumping away here at 4 pop per month, obviously in 11 more months we'll be 100 overness, because that's how that works.</p><p> It's not like it gets harder or anything.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="OWb5I9u.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OWb5I9u.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> So last month was basically almost literally the same as this month, except whoever embezzled 300k from us last month didn't this time. How nice of them!</p><p> </p><p> Making close to a million dollars per month is pretty insane, and we'll hit our goals sooner rather than later as we are only getting more popular and richer by the week.</p>

Maximizing this is important, as it saves us a lot of time on this run.</strong></p><p> </p><p> Also note, April Appleseed is doing pretty well here, her abrupt retirement was actually a bit of a downer as she was over enough and skilled enough to have good matches with the big stars.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The new Queen feuds with the new upgraded Ronin 3 and looks Strong while doing it.

The reason for this, quite humorously is I had just discovered her alternate picture and used it and because I thought it looked much more savage than her original I decided to morph her character into a more violent type that eventually turned heel but I quickly abandoned it. </p><p> </p><p> She was put into a feud with Foxxy LaRue briefly however, as the Tag Scene dominates the main event scene currently.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="IcJ6i8m.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IcJ6i8m.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="jVGAEmb.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jVGAEmb.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> We're pretty popular now, popular enough to sell out a 10k seater on a good day. Also we are making over 500k a month which is stellar, although we need to figure out who the hell is embezzling the company for 300k dollars in 'miscellaneous expenses" whatever that means.</p>

I wish they have gimmick names for non masked wrestlers as well. I never liked that every new gen enters as like Blaisdell Peverel or Percival Desjardins. Give them wrestler names. “Rocket Robertson” “Ace Silver” Something like this.

<p><span style="font-size:24px;">July</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Additions: <strong>Debbie Rose, Lora Washington</strong></p><p> Releases : <strong> Alina America (Leaving for USPW in Early August)</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Debbie Rose was singed in on a shared deal with AAA, one of the few I will do this save, simply because I wanted the tag team with Kate Lilly. Lilly was released outright and unemployed so I brought her in as a standalone, but really there is no reason for me not to sign Debbie Rose any longer, <strong>since I've surpassed AAA in popularity </strong> and now get show prioritization for shared workers. The possibility of injury is still annoying, but these companies typically run one show a month so it's really not much of a threat, compared to say, sharing with PGHW or something.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Lora Washington was similarly canned, and left to collect Unemployment as an "independent contractor" probably. Either way I rescue her from this inconvenience and sign her. Shes not very good in comparison to almost all of my non rookie workers but she's reasonably over.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> No one got fired or ragequit the company this month. However, at the very end of the month Alina America accepted a contract for USPW and put in her 7 days notice. Alina is an atrocious worker with limited charisma, she somehow had the worlds worst destiny roll and has insanely low caps in almost everything, but man does she LOOK good. Either way, I kinda need her back after a while, so I'll be monitoring her contract status and usurping her back from Peckerhead once I rise through the ranks.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="18uV3xg.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/18uV3xg.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Very little going on here and for good reason, <strong>CROWNING THE QUEEN is this month!</strong> . Holding off on storylines because of this and just running a bunch of generic matches. I don't want to builds storylines when most top workers will be featured in a giant tournament for the big show this month.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="hunJKkK.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hunJKkK.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Crowning the Queen was the best show QAW has ever done, and the hype behind it and prestige of the event moved up into the next building up. </p><p> </p><p> Here we also used a cheap little power gaming tactic, since we are running all our Live shows as one time specials, the prestige of the event rapidly increases to the max, something we'll be using much later on to basically guarantee max attendance for every event, with the downside being we HAVE to use every single worker in EVERY show or they will become furious at being left off of a Legendary event. Anyway, the trick is to simply switch the Special to your Annual event you want to be super duper important and it maintains the prestige. This is a lot more feasible than waiting for your company WrestleMania equivalent to be run 20 something times over as many years.</p><p> </p><p> After this I simply just made a new Live event with Normal Importance, after all of my "cornerstone annual events" are pumped-up in prestige, I won't bother resetting the Live event prestige until I hit Cult, then I'll switch to a less aggressive schedule in general.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway there are two cut off matches, one is Alicia Strong beating Ms Melanie in a 79 rated match and Danielle Sweetheart defeating Lora Washington in a 75 rated match. Now what I want to do next year is create a special match type so the 2nd round 4 v 4s are an elimination match, but what I'll like to is simply swap my Live event at Legendary Prestige into the second part of this event and make it a 2 day show so I can do all singles matches. This is also why I'm stripping this event of Season Finale and giving it to another 1 day event.</p><p> </p><p> Alicia Strong ends up winning the whole damn thing, not too surprising as she is both the companies best worker by far and also the most over, and she's also been getting artificially boosted to hell by Sensational Ogiwara backstage being her mentor.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="uXCNYl3.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uXCNYl3.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> The new girl on the block gets her first QAW title, the ever passed around Shockwave title. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> So pairing Cousin Viv and Foxxy LaRue isn't one of my proudest moments, I feel like I'm devolving into very stereotypical like for like booking here, but actually it's bit more layered than that. Cousin Viv despite being a very young rookie is actually a top tier brawler, and Foxxy needs more points into her brawling stat, plus there was no one else available that made sense to team with Foxxy, and because of the nature of the person she's feuding with she needed a tag partner as I'm not ready to separate Featured Attraction booking wise.</p><p> </p><p> Also, remember how creative had nothing for Jarvis? Apparently she has tag chemistry with Joanne Rodriguez, who by the way turned heel already(shortly after I realized Alicia Strong was available). So I decided to reform <strong>Ronin 3</strong> without the awful manager, and instead with another elite worker with Juana filling out as a solid hand, Juana has gotten quite good in the ring at minimum, so she wont be dead weight with the more dynamic duo.</p><p> </p><p> Ogiwara is now more involved in wrestling, because Alicia Strong is there so she's been tagging with her protegee to decent success.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Lu0KXHs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Lu0KXHs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> The Anti-Establishment are yet another off and on tag team, but they are back together now after a brief tiff and feuding with Sweet and Sour.</p><p> </p><p> I'll give 10 dollars to anyone who can figure out who <strong>Flower Power</strong> is.</p><p> Just kidding I don't like giving away free money, It's obviously Debbie Rose and Kate Lilly.</p><p> </p><p> Alicia "Looks: Strong saves her mentor from a beatdown from the now extremely prominently featured Ronin 3. While Featured Attraction finish up their feud with Foxxy and Viv in separate singles matches. At this point I'm hitting As with almost all of my big main event angles, and getting close to that also with my big main event matches as well, with J-Ro and Strong being one of the best matches in company history to date.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="wh6XCQs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wh6XCQs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> The extra point may have been from Crowning the Queen, but this is the most overness gained in one month in company history. At this point we are getting bonuses for truly exceptional shows, and are probably in contention for Company of the Year despite not even hitting Cult yet. Go figure.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="WGCrzbk.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WGCrzbk.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Of course, unfortunately we made very little ground financial, making even less than last month. This was mostly because we have yet to change buildings, being stuck in Irvine Hall caps out your ability to make money, and I need enough overness to either get consistently above 6000 in a generic venue or move to the Friedman building like Crowning the Queen did.</p><p> </p><p> On the Brightside, we are officially millionaires! Who would've thought it?</p>

Thank you. It gets a bit less tedious in the mid game where you don't have to book as many shows. Im thinking once that happens I can make it a bit more diary-ish. Not full blown show writeups, but post event cards and have magazine style recaps of events. The issue is really that regional in the US works oddly, as you have to book almost 750 shows across the country to reach a TV deal on a Cult company without using any shortcuts and adding broadcasters. This is assuming you don't utilize this more efficient method of money farming until you get a TV deal in this hilariously unrealistic way. Anyway, I enjoy writing and doing "climb" diaries because I think they are fun and also fun to follow. Historians Climb Diary is my favorite on the website, but it's much more narrative driven and as a result, features a bit of things which really aren't true to TEW as someone who would just pick it up and play, mostly in that it uses custom broadcasters as well as liberal usage of the editor to create narratives for new workers(something I do when I am playing purely for fun as well). Again, not a knock, this isn't unreasonable, Id argue the unreasonable thing is being so masochistic to not add them in, but essentially, these are done for the sake of the most authentic Default playing experience.

A precedent that was set decades ago.

Stafford Alois even though the aesthetic is different

Generally too difficult to get over in most feds. For me this thread isn’t really answerable due to Destiny roll really controlling who is good or not in any given save. For example in my recent QAW save Connie Morris is a goddess of a worker who can do everything and even cuts good promos, but this is highly YMMV and with crappier rolls(Say her Brawling caps at 55 and her stamina and entertainment are stuck below acceptable levels) she will be much less useful than the 63 Brawling 80/80/90/80 Perf 70/70/70 Entertainment beast I have now. What I will say is, there a number of workers, due to higher starting stats or special conditions which have higher chances of being stars than others. Lili Snyder and Ava Anderson for example are super young and start with guaranteed tag chemistry. Anders Thunders steroid habits can sometimes make him a top 10 worker in the US type of talent in terms of Star Quality and overness. I recently had a save where Anders reaches 94 Star Quality and was a World Champion. Jefferson Stardust usually can become one of the best guys in the world very quickly instead of a midcarder... Death Row tend to be very good for most feds due to tag chemistry, ditto for Los Assenios in Mexico and they also start unemployed.

She’s a real diva.

Hangman doesn’t need to be a main eventer, he will likely be a midcard Ace for them eventually. Probably some stupid idiot but AEW would be missing a HUGE opportunity if they didn’t turn this into an angle.

<p><span style="font-size:24px;">June</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Signings: <strong>Jana Marie Bowen</strong> ,<strong> Ellie May Walton, Kate Lilly, Dunton Hall</strong></p><p><strong> Amber Allen, Joanne Rodriguez, April Appleseed , Alicia Strong</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> Firings: Toni Parissi</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> First things first, Toni Parissi got into another incident with Ava Anderson, I resisted the urge to put her in the Scorpion Deathlock and just fined her. She proceeded to have yet another incident <strong><em>24 HOURS LATER</em></strong> . I fined her again. A week later she had another incident, I fired her. Enough is enough woman, you are an absolute blight to society.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> With the booking getting more tight and a lot of releases recently decided to go on a big signing splurge, JMB and EMW were brought in as a tag team, but JMB is versatile and can be used in a lot of different spots if the tag team doesn't work out. Kate Lilly was unceremoniously canned and left collecting unemployment, so I gave a her job as a singles worker because she's pretty good.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Dunton Hall</strong> I signed as a project to develop him into a killer authority figure type with is high charisma, then I realized he has no babyface or heel performance for some reason(this seems like a database error) and would receive penalties for every and also take insanely long to get over with his 0 star quality. So yeah this was kind of a wasted signing and thank the TEW gods I don't have access to writtens. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Amber Allen was also canned, but she's really, really good, some of these bookers are sillier than WCW under Kevin Nash.</p><p> </p><p> Joanne Rodriguez I'm sharing with AA because I needed another Main Eventer. I may have mentioned I'm running out of feuds for Danielle Sweetheart because the Missouri Bruisers holding the tag belts severely compromises my heel main event scene. So here we are, making moves.</p><p> </p><p> Note, Foxxy Larue, Alexis Lee Littlefeather, and Tamara McFly are all babyfaces at this point, so the only "QAW Original" heels I have left are Jarvis who is already a used feud. This is one of the few follies of QAWs starting roster, as they are completely loaded up on prospects who are extremely talented but pretty far off main eventing, and their drop off after their big 4 is pretty steep. Juana Hurracan and Toni Parissi for example aren't real main eventers, but the default database treats them as if they are company cornerstones when really they are both average.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Finally Alicia Strong got released for some reason, maybe hard feelings from Adam Pecker, releasing the former boss's daughter as a final F-U to the old regime. It certainly couldn't be for any business or practical reason. I signed her immediately.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="8eMqW2r.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8eMqW2r.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Featured Attraction vs the Missouri Bruisers is the best feud I can make right now given my roster limitations, and it pays immediate dividends with a stellar match to open June.</p><p> At this point, <strong>Anderson and Snyder</strong> who mostly were relegated to losing are actually getting a real push after the accidental title run. They got over big without winning very many matches and now are hitting big grades in the undercard.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="8eMqW2r.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8eMqW2r.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Title change, you may notice Tamara McFly the standard boring, safe midcarder get the Shockwave title. That's because Golden Delicious is now rebranded as <strong>Ms Melanie Flyman</strong>, utilizing a High Society, aristocrat gimmick managed by Dunton Hall. She's a stereotypical pompous heel, and is feuding with Foxxy LaRue, who interfered in her match to take the title off her so she can work bigger programs.</p><p> </p><p> The reason for this rebrand had nothing to do with any booking reasons, I just think a 36 year old woman with a stripper name like Golden Delicious is unbecoming.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Vanguard is the tag team of JMB and Ellie Marie Walton. They don't have chemistry and are totally otherwise unexciting in every way, they will mostly be losing to my other tag teams.</p><p> </p><p> Creative has nothing for Jillian Jarvis unfortunately as she toils away in random lower card matches.

Jillian Jarvis also gets involved for obvious reasons. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Ms. Melanie actually beats Foxxy, ending her feud in the upper card and although Featured Attraction was getting the better of the feud early, The Missouri Bruisers ended up retaining their tag titles in pretty good main event.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="ArSpHYO.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ArSpHYO.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Naturally, Sweetheart's feud with the Bruisers extended to singles, and she has a mini-feud with newly crowned champion Gorgon. She beats Gorgon at her own game, a brutal brawl Strap match, Sweetheart also being one of the best brawlers in the company. </p><p> </p><p> It wasn't the barnburner that some other main events have been, but it's good enough to raise my popularity significantly.</p><p> </p><p> The Ms Melanie Flyman push continues, and she is firmly, at least currently one of the top heels in the company outside of the main eventers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="GMJIEfh.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GMJIEfh.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> 4 pop, now at 43 in the Mid South and one of the biggest regional companies in the US.</p><p> Soon we'll be able to go to the next venue and make significantly more money per show.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="TBKm5Fx.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TBKm5Fx.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> If not for those pesky taxes we'd be millionaires!

But how are you seeing their destiny rolls?<p> </p><p> One question I have though is, are you playing with restricted areas on? I typically turn it off (or use the passport code so the starting workers can move around but newgens can't) since it's not really realistic in modern days. From Awesome Kong to Sumie Sakai, the Aussie girls (Madison Eagles, Jessie McKay/Billie Kay, KC Cassidy/Peyton Royce, Tenille Dashwood, Shazza McKenzie, Kellie Skater, Evie/Dakota Kai, etc), Nikki Cross, and several Joshi who have made US and UK appearances without being crazy over. TEW doesn't open up new areas for workers quickly enough (if at all) and it seems relatively random. That'll give you access to some really good workers (Laura McKenna, Karen Bilous, Zofia Jankovic, Queen Amazon, Otsune Tsumura, etc) and at least one firmly established team (Electric Blue). I know you want to avoid sharing workers but some of them are excellent gatekeepers in-ring wise.</p><p> </p><p> You always bring in Tamara McFly because she's awesome. She's that midcard lynchpin who can occasionally support a main event storyline and she's great backstage. She's kinda like The Miz in that way.</p><p> </p><p> I envy you. In my last 8 QAW saves, I've never gotten a shot at Gorgon or Raven Nightfall before time decline set in (unless I change the decline age in the database and fix it to something like 40 or 45).</p><p> </p><p> I commend you for using the default product since I never could. At a minimum, I always raise the Modern to Key Feature.</p><p> </p><p> Oh and I voted against integration. That makes growing way too easy and puts a strain on suspension of disbelief.</p><p> </p><p> Turning notifications on for this one. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Destiny roll is seen by pushing them as midcarder or less if they are less than 30, their potential becomes visible through Hot Prospects and NBT tabs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I always play with Restricted Areas on, later on in the save you will see that I pick up quite a few Japanese only workers using a legitimate workaround in the game.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Honestly, Raven Nightfall likely will be in delcline if she ever comes, Gorgon is unlikely to be depending on when she gets released, I’ve alwahs seen her get released in the first two years though, same with Strong. Could just be variance though. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Ultimately the reason I firmly believe in sticking to default products is because I’m going to do custom company saves at some point and if I do so there’s no point in changing every company to be the same..</p><p> The exceptions I will make are for example, adding a women’s division to a company that doesn’t have one.</p>

Becky Lynch promo skills are the equivalent of a small high school theatre lead. Amazing how smark momentum based booking blows up in their faces time after time. Sasha needs her spot back.

Undisputed Era are unbelievable, perfect proof just because you are small doesn't mean you need to do flips to get over.

Has your company momentum decreased in the past 6 months or so? I’m noticing a lot of your guys are getting much worse grades for solo promos than in the past.

<p><span style="font-size:24px;">April</span></p><p> </p><p> April saw the signings of the game's first new gen <strong>Vivian "Cousin Viv" Howard, </strong></p><p><strong> Gorgon and Persephone. </strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> "Cousin Viv" was given that name because I thought of Aunt Vivian from the Fresh Prince but she's only 19 and is too young to be an Aunt. She's a decent brawler with marginal upside.</p><p> </p><p> Gorgon is a true game changer, already over, she is a borderline elite talent who can do just about everything other than sell, and she brings a rare powerhouse to the QAW rankings outside of her now tag team partner Connie Morris. She will be a big threat in singles, but her partnership with Connie Morris as the <strong>Missouri Bruisers</strong> should see them as one of QAWs most dominant tag teams.</p><p> </p><p> Gorgon has been on the radar for a while, and adds even further potential with the earlier signing of Morris.</p><p> </p><p> Persephone was signed by default as an over female. She'll likely just sit there adding a small bonus to some worker she has good chemistry with, I rarely use managers as the main part of the show as most don't have the skill or overness to justify it.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="EtEEEak.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/EtEEEak.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> First show of April, and Crackdown has finally turned on Jillian Jarvis after months of her abuse and bullying. Jarvis recruited Connie Morris as a tag partner and faced off against her former Ronin 3 allies, while the Anti-Establishment feud rages on.</p><p> Featured Attraction are doing well with the Tag Belts, putting on ME quality matches with almost every tag team in the division.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="90No1VB.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/90No1VB.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> New Tag Champions! As you can see, I am about as original as Vince McMahon, and have yet another partner turn which costs Featured Attraction the Tag titles. The main reason for this was to push <strong>Danielle Sweetheart </strong>back into singles competition. The company was also getting heavy on heel uppercarders, especially with a lot of the talent organically getting over on that side and some new signings, so freeing up a babyface who also was a headliner would set up a lot of future feuds.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Crackdown</strong> to the babyface side also allowed me a tag team that would hopefully maintain the prestige of the title that Featured Attraction had set, at least until they were to drop it.</p><p> </p><p> The Tamara McFly/Cousin Viv grade was strange, and not replicated before or after. I wanted Foxxy to lose in the handicap match as part of the feud between her and Alina America but she refused, so I had to have some sort of hokey booking where the 3 sabotage themselves and Foxxy steals a win in a handicap match. Unlike the booking of Jarvis who won her handicap matches clean.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="f6Cn7iA.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/f6Cn7iA.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Well this was embarrassing, you ever go to the booking screen for a show, book a title match, then get the message that the holder isn't in the match, then you go back and realize your last show you accidentally booked the wrong winner with a misclick in a title match and didn't notice it before you ended the show? Yeah, well Crackdown wasn't supposed to drop here. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> Anyway, Anderson and Snyder have been doing well and get their first accidental title run. It's probably going to be brief.</p><p> </p><p> Gorgon has her first singles match in the company in a feud with Tamara McFly, Tamara made a lot of sense as she is essentially in that gatekeeper spot who is a solid hand who will make Gorgon look good but isn't too important to have winning feuds. The show closes with 3 amazing matches, with the Sweetheart/America feud producing a B, the Sweetheart/Littlefeather feud producing a B, and a title match between Jillian Jarvis and Rojo getting a B.</p><p> </p><p> I briefly stopped using a lot of my lowercarders to maximize show grades for a bit, I wouldn't recommend doing this that often though. They are just losing stats.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="fTCYMQB.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/fTCYMQB.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> April closes out with a filler event, almost nothing of note happens here, Gorgon has moved on to a feud with Foxxy LaRue and is continued to be booked as a dominant force. </p><p> </p><p> Danielle Sweetheart is being groomed for a headlining role, and continues her forward momentum winning big matches post her feud with Alexis Lee Littlefeather, which she won.</p><p> </p><p> Jillian Jarvis doesn't have a feud, and after title defenses against Crackdown in solo matches continues to have mini-skirmishes with them. This is obviously a setup for a second Jarvis/Sweetheart feud, but I need to stall for a few more weeks so the repetitive booking doesn't ruin big event.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Another month, another 4 pop! Overall another great month for QAW, with highly graded events, most of the roster developing into supremely skilled workers who are over big in the Mid South. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="6hAdRjs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6hAdRjs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Financially, another step in the right direction, but still a LONG LONG way to go before hitting our goals.</p><p> Still you can see we are making quite a bit of money here, and will have no problems affording basically anyone we want to keep.</p>
