Jon The GOAT

Strongly leaning towards doing a The Club game. Feel like in 2020 with the new products, The Club will really feel like its living up to its identity. I mean, IRL, this would be the perfect time for a The Club/LU style company too, though that probably doesnt apply to TVERSE. Doesn't matter, cant wait to run those cinematic club matches!

Im jealous of your game. Can we get a screenshot of how Dreadnought turned out. I think he might be the only character in CV20 I wanna see become a headliner tbh so I think its pretty sweet youve turned him into such a stud.

<p>Hey guys, Im looking for gimmick ideas for these three TCW graduates:</p><p> </p><p> Angel Hunt has a fun name. He is a "Bully" & cant do Weasel/Underdog gimmicks.</p><p> <img alt="9b8fb6741090dc4da750f218e3472645.png" data-src="https://i.gyazo.com/9b8fb6741090dc4da750f218e3472645.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Jeremy Reichsteiner's a fun one. Hes Hispanic American but obviously his name doesnt exactly scream that. Hes a Bulky Middleweight but is more Technician/High Flyer than Brawler. I love it. I was thinking of just ripping off Steiner.</p><p> <img alt="02ed7cecc05f2bf40cc07914457c484a.png" data-src="https://i.gyazo.com/02ed7cecc05f2bf40cc07914457c484a.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Eric Backlund. Nothing crazy interesting about him besides the fact that hes a Skinny Light Heavyweight wrestler.</p><p> <img alt="77cf5b3c55893c2500399cdc711159be.png" data-src="https://i.gyazo.com/77cf5b3c55893c2500399cdc711159be.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> --</p><p> </p><p> Aside from this. Im running MAW, I obviously grabbed a 1hr show on WrestleWorld. Miller Fforde won my RCI. I cut Ade/Cheetah/Josh for being over 30. Anyone over 30 can only wrestle one more event for us then they are cut. We will also not invite COTT challengers if they are over 30. We are adamantly U30. I turned off alignments, of course. My only other big change I want to do is add a womens division but theres no room or need for that just yet. I'd also like to open back up a MAW school with fluid classes and slowly upgrade it over time. It'll give us a steady supply of homegrown workers.</p>

In fact, the adherence to alignments bothers me more than the opposite in a product.</p>

This is the issue, isn't it? It's the only choice. We're not logging 100hrs into it because its the best game of its kind. We're not logging 100hrs into it because it's a must play game above others. We're playing it because its the only choice. Because we like wrestling. And we like booking. I also have logged quite a bit of hrs into TEW and previous versions, but I've never not thought to myself... man I wish there was another option.

I definitely agree with this. I wish most products took a real solid nudge towards being more wrestling based than pop based.

Good suggestion but PWI hustled & signed him to a written before I could nab the boy. Though partially the reason why I didn't grab him is because he has an exclusive handshake & I wanted to be cooperative with DRAGON. I ended up moving Ambassadors Club into a match with Staffordshire Saints since I couldnt think of anything better and they both came across as accomplished teams. I did consider MachZ & Steel Buffalo from DIASPORA too but decided to go with a team I'm more confident in. I'd like to bring them in later though. I think I'll probably have to put a decent bit of effort into making an AEW tier tag division. There's a lot of cool theoretical combinations though. The Lotharios, Lejosne, Mackenzie/Storm, Kosmo & Jarid. Some other hiccoughs happened along the way. Jack America got poached so Adam Massey is taking his place. Wilson Hancock & Shay Kinsella both got signed away so I've borrowed Jung Dragon (loaned them VIP) & outbid both PWI & AWF to grab Yokai Dragon as my Penta. They'll face each other as my second big singles match. I brought in SHIMIZU & Horiuchi Inokuma to team with Kosmo Supreme as representatives for Zodiac Dragon in the semi-main 3 v 3. ThunderVerse is very fun.

Yeah. I see the value in teams like those but this is meant to be a #tagteamsmatter kinda thing which means trotting out the best possible teams I can find. This feels more like if I went The Good Brothers vs. Butcher & Blade. Appreciate the recommend, I'm guessing there just arent immediate options like IRL in terms of indy tag teams. I'll keep them in mind for the regular TV show though because there's definitely going to be value for them there.

I'm working on AEW-type company in the TV 2016 conversion & was wondering if any of you guys had a good suggestion for a top tier tag team match for my first card. While I'd like to have Staffordshire Saints & Storm Warning on my roster once Im settled in, I'm in favor of having a more Lucha Bros vs. Young Bucks tier match (whatever your feelings on either of them, you can acknowledge their viewed as two of the biggest teams in the world). Would love some suggestions outside of the guys I currently have booked for the card. If they are talented, I'm willing to look past pop. Also if you have any other future roster member suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="yuanshu" data-cite="yuanshu" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="47647" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I've always had a hard time getting into C-Verse booking, but right now I'm trying my hand at PGHW and having a blast. I've been going through this thread and taking a ton of inspiration from everybody for my game, so thank you all very much for all the PGHW discussion!<p> </p><p> A quick question: is it normal to have an injury every other week or so? Most of the ones I've been getting are pretty minor, but I've always refrained from booking people with minor injuries unless it's crucial to finish up a storyline. I've been keeping an eye on everybody's fatigue but I haven't seen anybody rise above "None" yet. I haven't really booked much puro before, so I'm assuming some injuries here and there are a natural consequence of the ultra-physical style. I've just finished my first Night of DESTINY and this is what my medical list is looking like:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=7547&stc=1&d=1595639845</span></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> A natural byproduct of the hard-hitting style I imagine. What you should look at aside from fatigue is their physical stats (in the skills page, on the right, bottomish). I dont think you can do much to help those physical stats go back up, but obviously if they arent working as often, that will certainly help. Realistically, having that many wrestlers injured isn't that off putting. WWE's got like 2 dozen injured workers at any point.</p>

Ideally the way indy should work is that you should be pre-booking contract appearances for guys and indy stars should be going out of their way to be filling up their schedules with pre-booking appearances (as much as their body can handle). It would be delightful to see guys perhaps lowering their prices or advertizing they're available on certain dates the way I see often on twitter. And obviously the more unknown/newer the guy is, the less they're able to fill their schedule up meanwhile Ernest Youngman is popping up in the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, etc and indies are fighting over the opportunity to get them on their card. Furthermore, you'd also have indy guys actually striving to make it onto your cards if you're a more prestigeous indy or maybe if you've done a good job establishing a popular tournament. Of course, there's nearly a whole wormhole of things you could add related to this. Playing as an indy company could have a great deal more exciting layers. -- Ultimately, I'm obviously pro this suggestion though. It would be even better if the AI was smart enough to pre-book normal intent events to cover themselves for this too.

Looking forward to seeing how you get on with 20 and what sort of changes happen. Hopefully the new schedule will help with the progression which is easily one of the toughest parts about playing a touring company.

I just finished my first year with CWW and I've been enjoying it quite a bit. I use a simple ranking system. We have a ladder for singles & tag team with each win affording 2pts & each draw giving 1pt. The exception is the Summer Sizzler series which is a two block tournament where wins give 3pts. The ones with the most points are generally the ones who challenge for the title. At first I wasnt having the tag or singles champs compete in their divisions without the title on the line but I've changed that mindset & they will now do non-title matches with 5pts on the line. Champions: CWW Championship: Lenny Mochin -> JK Lee -> Martin Heath CWW Tag Team: Taypen/Buzzard -> Heath/Sharp -> Lee/O'Hearne CWW Submission: Warburton -> Retired KOTN: JK Lee (defeated Heath) Summer Sizzler: Martin Heath (defeated Sharp) Summer Sizzler is a two block tournament. The top 6 wrestlers in singles minus the champ face off in Block A & the next 6 face off in Block B. The winners face each other in the finals on Day 6 for a shot at the big gold. It's also a great way to rapidly climb up the rankings thanks to the extra points. It was a tight race between Heath, Lee & O'Hearne in Block A but Sharp walked away with Block B. The year ended with our best match ever: Heath & Sharp lost the tag titles to Lee/O'Hearne in a 77 rated match. Heath is obviously a monster but Lee, O'Hearne, Sharp, Jenkins & Mochin are all solid. I got tag chem out of Mochin & Jenkins which was great. The way the year works out is there's a heavy focus on singles then the year ends with more focus on tags as there are better title opportunities then with singles more out of reach. I'm considering turning the Winter War into a Summer Sizzler-esque tournament for tag. Signings were kept very sparring: Daniel Delgado & Tomas Reyes are Mexican regen imports. We brought in Bryn Archer for one match at one point. We signed an English regen called JP Penn. And we brought in Danjuro Kikuchi for Vernon George's soiree in MMA. We're mostly focused on signing great brawlers & technical wrestlers. Currently Tiny-size. Hard to tell if I'll hit Small or not in 2021. No rush. I've only added two events which were KOTN Day 1 & Day 2 for the first two rounds. Submission title was retired because I just wasnt making use of it. I'm somewhat satisfied with just having two belts tbh. At most, I may grab a trios title one day. Winter War was our show of the year with a 69 (nice) just one point above Competitive Spirit. Singles MOTY: Heath vs. Lee at Competitive Spirit for CWW Championship - 73 Tag MOTY: Lee & O'Hearne vs. Heath & Sharp at Winter War for CWW Tag Team - 78 Rankings: Singles CHAMPION: Martin Heath - 26pts JK Lee - 26pts Padraig O’Hearne - 21pts Jon Michael Sharp - 19pts Gavin Owens - 14pts Glen Ward - 11pts Jonni Leyland - 9pts Neil Warburton - 9pts Curtis Jenkins - 9pts Grant Taypen - 9pts Pinfall Peters - 8pts Lenny Mochin - 6pts Leighton Buzzard - 4pts Jermaine Granger - 4pts Tomas Reyes - 4pts Lynton Minehead - 4pts Vernon George - 2pts Daniel Delgado - 2pts Tag Team CHAMPIONS: Lee & O’Hearne - 10pts Sharp & Heath - 14pts Jenkins & Leyland - 8pts Mochin & Warburton - 7pts Taypen & Buzzard - 7pts Ward & Owen - 4pts Cross & Granger - 4pts Mochin & Minehead - 2pts Ward & Buzzard - 2pts Delgado & Mochin - 2pts Reyes & Warburton - 2pts Reyes & Minehead - 2pts Penn & Reyes - 2pts Peters & Granger - 2pts Granger & George - 2pts Buzzard & Owens - 2pts Jenkins & Mochin - 2pts The end of the year saw kayfabe me testing out for tag chem for people who were out of contention. Storyline wise, I bill it as guys trying to see if they can find new partner they mesh with ahead of the 2021 season. I think it's a reasonable enough justification so I dont mind fishing for chem that way. And anyways, we struck gold with Mochin & Jenkins which gives us another powerhouse team to heat up our tag division. CWW Singles MVP: 1. Martin Heath (Summer Sizzler, KOTN Finalist, CWW Champ, 26pts) 2. JK Lee (KOTN, CWW Champ, 26pts), 3. Jon Michael Sharp (Summer Sizzler Finalist, 19pts) CWW Tag MVP: 1. Sharp & Heath (CWW Tag Team, 14 pts), 2. Lee & O'Hearne (CWW Tag Team, 10pts), 3. Taypen & Buzzard (CWW Tag Team, 7pts) That's it for me. Getting read for 2021 which will see us start with Championship Showdown. Last year the concept was tag champs vs. single champs. With only one singles champ, I'll have to re-evaluate what to do. I may simply go for title defenses for both divisions but Im not sure. Anyways fun company!

<p>Haven't given NYCW a try yet but I've considered it. </p><p> </p><p> Two pathways seem to be:</p><p> </p><p> 1. Have fun with Larry Vessey being old school minded & cheap and force yourself to book around that. Better yet would be to play Vessey & really work the gimmick.</p><p> </p><p> 2. NYCW gets bought out & finally grows. A rando guy I thought about doing this with is Remo. Obviously NYCW are tiny af and Remo is a homegrown guy but I like the idea that he's willing to fully bet on himself & that he would shock the world by showing he's more than just the bad ass headliner over at SWF who never really feels like the face of the company. Though I've also been intrigued by Remo at GSW too, so. He is based in Tri-State and I would love to book Remo so that was my thought process.</p>

<p>Young Lion system in MAW Would be pretty cool. I've always dug the idea of implementing it in any wrestling-focused company I'm in since it's an excuse not to rush push my young guys and have them losing while working regularly.</p><p> </p><p> I dig your roster. Would love to see you turn Dreadnought in particular into a star. Also loved Syd Collier back in '16 MAW so happy to see he's back. Hopefulyl he can push himself into a main event spot at some point.</p><p> </p><p> Has Seth Whitehead developped into anything worthwhile?</p>

No it hasn't. I want super realism. There is absolutely nothing realistic about TEW. People need to stop calling TEW challenging or realistic just because it isn't straight up fantasy the way they want it to be. This game isn't, hasn't, and will never be for the realistic or hardcore gamers and people need to stop pretending that's the case just because the game isn't for them.

June 2020 Funny thing happened here. I have no concept of time so I made a Canada Day show on the first day of June xD. I'm retroactively pretending it has a different name now & I'll be hosting a real Canada Day Special on the day it should be on. New news: Robin Newman has signed a deal with ACPW so he'll be making appearances there. Lady Liberty, Saneatsu Shigemitsu, Utamuro Nishimuraya & Eve Grunge have all officially hung their boots. Hope they enjoyed their final matches in the game. Retirement signings: Devil's Daughter spent most of her career in AAA where she had a successful pairing with Vixxen that resulted in 4 tag title reigns. Tank Bradley got most of his success paired up with Alex Braun where they won 3 DAVE Tag Team titles, he's also spent time at PSW & got his start off at SCCW. Big shock, that's it. I guess May was just an insane retirement month. We'll hope we can go the rest of the year without signing 20 wrestlers in 1 month. Finally Quentin Queen was signed to our 5 Feature Special deal. Canadian Chaos Retirement Tour: Derrick Merrick, Aud Valkyrie, Yatsuhiro Atsushi, Candy Floss & Connie Morris def.

Ant-Man is starting to show up big which is great. And I've decided to stop unnecessarily protecting guys that are going to retire in 3 months. Unfortunately, this show does not get us over the Insignificant size hill but hopefully July will be the month where we grow.

May 2020 Though I'm still uncertain about the future of this game with my retiree predicament, I believe my best option is to just push on ahead & see if I'll get lucky (less retirees or a boost in my financials). So we have an extremely lengthy list of retirees this time, in no particular order: Yusuke Takahama is a Japanese wrestler who has spent most of his career on the indies. Tribal Warrior is a 5X USPW World Tag Team champion and a 2x USPW Television champion. Nathan Coleman spent most of his career at the late GCG where he was a 4X GCG World Heavyweight Tag Team Champ and had a reign as an Openweight champ. Suzanne Brazzle held the Top Contender belt twice and had a reign as Femme Fatale at the late AAA. The Kipper is best known for flopping for RAW. Masa Yasujiro is best known for helping out both at WLW & Hinote Dojo before stalling in the indies. Alexis Lee Littlefeather broke in with BSC and also found some success with QAW, winning belts in both companies. Gareth Wayne is a journeyman who spent some time in SCCW, USPW, and WEXXV among other companies, winning numerous belts along the way. Dallas McWade is best known for his iconic tag team with twin brother Dean McWade. They've won belts all over Canada and in Japan as well. Paragraph break. Jakub Kawczyk spent most of his career in Europe and has a few UCR tag title reigns to his name. Jake Panic has spent sometime at both MOSC & UCR throughout his 30 years but never did anything worthwhile. Willie York is best known for his time in the INSPIRE midcard. He's also an ex-MMA fighter. Jeremy Allen is best known for his time at MOSC and his history as a tag wrestler on the English scene. Strong STyle Yoemon spent most of his career on the indies though he had a four year soiree with SAISHO where he had a pair of Destiny reigns. Connie Morris is best known for her run in 5SSW during the 2000s. Candy Floss broke in with AAA though had her best success with BSC. Aud Valkyriehas spent most of her career on the European scene, especially Germany recently. Golden Delicious spent a good deal of time at AAA, though hasn't worked much in the past 5 years, spending time raising her son. Chris Caulfield has quite the reputation being a notable DAVE alumni and having 3 USPW Television title reigns during the past decade. Paragraph break! Yatsuhiro Atsushi's biggest moment came 18 years ago when Tadiyuki Kikkawa beat the shit out of him. Aside from his time at Hinote Dojo, he's mostly been on the indies. Katherine Goodlooks has a good reputation as a tag team wrestler for the dissolved AAA which featured 4 tag titles reigns with Jessica Bunny. The Darkness Warrior's career mostly went downhill when Danny Fonzarelli broke out without him in TCW. He's mostly wrestled the Puerto Rico scene since. Amane Shunsen spent a lot of his time between WLW & Hinote Dojo. Aside from a Hinote Dojo title reign, he doesn't have much to show for his 30 years in the ring. Power Girl broke out with BSC but has spent over a decade mostly working the indy scene. May Day I (56 w/ 97 fans) 4 of 5 Feature Special: "Mighty Meaty" Murray Firth def.

We had signed Cal Sanders but turns out he had already retired and we missed it so we let him go. Acid, Keita Fukao, and Yoko Ikina all wrestled their last matches for us & the wrestling world. We wish them well in the second part of their lives. Erin Grey & Eric LaMonica are now dating. Good for them! We are very close to hitting Tiny (I started at 10 local pop since I created the company in-game as Rock Hard). Next month is June so we will only be having one show. This works out since we are currently in the red by $3K. On the upside: 991 shows to go!

I've got May booked & ready to write up but Im at someone of an awkward spot at the moment. I really dug hiring people who were retiring to give them an out but the # of people retiring has ballooned to an absurd proportion. There's currently 28 workers in my company on the retirement contracts. The biggest issue is obviously that I cannot afford that many, and the 2nd issue is its hard to stuff them all in the card. The first is a lot more of an issue than the latter. I'd be fine with a bunch of 10-wrestler tags at the start of the show. I perhaps was overly ambitious in my goal to have all the retirees coming in. Just looking for general thoughts. Do I just abandon signing old people, get rid of all of them & accept it as a failed experiment? It does give me ideas for doing an eventual retiree only company though.

Some minor requests for touring shows: - Remove match aims. House shows have similar values to pop as B-shows & are essentially glorified house shows. I've been told they're not meant for companies to gain pop & grow through. Touring shows are pretty tiresome to book. Please remove match aims like they are removed from B-shows so we can get through house shows faster. - Remove Unimportant workers pen for Touring shows. Again, this is a glorified B-tier show. Everyone is already holding back. The fans do expect a young lion match in the opening, they arent going to shit on it for not knowing who is wrestling. Its touring show. To counter this: - Wrestlers do not currently consider the fact that when they say "I only want to work events" thats basically every single show for a puro company. Workers should treat touring show events like B-shows & not want to be on it, especially if they're beat up.

Dagger (56) - MOTN!!!</p><p> </p><p> Some bittersweet news came in after this show. CWA has decided to aggressively expand its women's division and both Maria Guest and Simony Sentinel have been signed. They're both terrific talents so we aren't surprised. ACPW has also grown and expanded their roster so Eric LaMonica & Clutch McKane will now be doing extra duties over in Quebec.</p><p> </p><p> Zachary Inc hurt himself in the opener of Egg (Head) Hunt I but will be fine by next show.</p><p> </p><p> Retirement Tour signings:</p><p> </p><p> Geena The Warrior Princess is American but spent most of her career in Europe for UCR & EWA where she had 3 women's title reigns. Derrick Merrick spent most of his career on the independents aside from a 2 year spell with VWA. Mary Beth Chase has spent her entire career wrestling on the independents but will be wrapping it up with us. They'll all be here for the next three months.</p><p> </p><p> Our roster is currently divided essentially into: Canadian Locals, Retirees, 5 Feat Specials, and Booker Favorites. There's a lot of guys who've parted with their companies that I've got in my short list but there's not quite enough room yet. I'd like to use more multi-man matches when we start turning a profit so we can use everyone more regularly. I'm envisioning cards with multi-mans in the first half and big singles/tags in the latter half. For now we have to hold back on our more ambitious signings though. As it is, we're already running up costs with our big foreign signings. We have a steady supply of retirees at the moment so unless someone really stand out becomes available, there's no need to actively expand.</p>

Thanks <3 The only enemy is my ability to commit! Got it. Once Ben's deal is up, QQ will be next in line. I tried him with TCW & he's pretty solid. March 2020 This is our light month so only one event this time around. We've got a few more signings done. Tatsuya Toshitara who is known as Matthew Keith's partner in BHOTWG and has two BHOTWG World Tag Team title reigns to his name was let go. We've brought him on a handshake deal to see what he's got to offer. Retirement Tour signings: Lady Liberty who is a 1X AAA Tag Team Champion and 3X CILL World Women's Champion. Saneatsu Shigemitsu who had a brief run with WEXXV in '05/'06 and has mostly loitered on the independents. On a sad note, I tragically forgot to book one of our retirees Yoko Ikina in a match this show. March Madness I (50 w/ 88 fans) Eric LaMonica def. "Staggering" Spencer Edmund (35) "The French-Canadian MVP" Marcel LeFleur def. "The Red Queen" Katya Kornishkova (27) Dagger def. Robin Newman (35) "Hell Cat" Kate Avatar def. Dreadnought (33) "Double T" Tatsuya Toshitara def. "Son of the Monster" James Diaz (58) - MOTN!!! Retirement Tour: Virgil "The Boss" Voss def. Keita Fukao (28) Retirement Tour: "Glorious" Logan Wolfsbaine def. Saneatsu Shigemitsu (47) Retirement Tour: Eve Grunge def. Lady Liberty (34) Retirement Tour: Maria Guest def. Acid (43) Ant-Man def. Zachary Inc (46) Katya botched against LeFleur & LeFleur had a temporary injury that's healed by the end of the month. Toshitara was brilliant, Wolfsbaine stood out as well. Both had nice performances. Eve Grunge announced her retirement. We'll be letting her go once she officially hangs up the boots after the three months are up. No comment on the fact that our March Madness show ended up being nearly half retirement tour matches. Zachary Inc also gets his first loss after winning the Undefeated Series. That's all we got. April Fool's themed event early next month + an Easter Weekend themed event. As always, want to see a wrestler (ANY wrestler) in the company, just let me know the name and I'll add it to my list to check. Every time someone's 5 Appearance deal ends, I'll go through the list and bring the next one in line that's available. You can suggest more than one person as well. Anyone suggested stays on the list till they're retired or picked. 995 shows left!
