  1. Steven Parker is always my guy if it's a C-Verse save he is active in. I actually just started up a Alternate 2022 save and am bringing him to TCW to give him one last mega push to the top.
  2. My shows follow a very predictable outline, opening show promo with one of the top 2/3 storylines, followed up by matches that are followed by promos building their associated storyline. Makes booking weekly TV shows quick and easy, just make sure all my storylines get advanced. Also need to have a solid backstage interviewer to help build skills and boost angles with my mid-carders who can't quite carry the angles on their own yet. I'm also huge on stables and freestyle angles. My shows almost always have 3 or 4 angles with 8 people in them.
  3. Just ran Master of Puppets, Remo vs Golden scored a 98 with a interference finish and Spade vs Parker scored an 88 for the NA title. Really hopping the SC40 Main Event of Remo vs Golden in a cage match with Jack Bruce as special guest ref can score 100.
  4. Decided to take a look due to your post, only one that seems to have capped right now is Scythe at 74, which SUCKS.
  5. That is what I figured, don't want to tank the main event of my biggest PPV due to using a guest ref. I'll give him a boost before the show. Thanks
  6. Will it tank the match rating if I use someone who has no ref skill? Wanting to use Jack Bruce as a special guest ref for a PPV match.
  7. I am pretty sure the answer to this is no, but is there a way to do a special guest referee?
  8. I have a deep love for Steven Parker, he can be built up quickly to a main event player with the right fueds. But his star quality and mic skills aren't quite top star level. Another indy suggestion I have would be Logan Wolfsbaine, his entertainment skills are much much better than they were in 16 and he's still really young if you're planning on doing a long term save.
  9. If you don't get hung up on this character being a certain size, I would suggest Spencer Spade. He's only Middleweight but has excellent Star Quality, he can talk and he's solid in the ring while still being young. He's always been considered as the homegrown figurehead in waiting for SWF.
  10. <p>Finally got around to booking another month in my save after a busy holiday weekend. Spencer Spade is now number 3 on my list of Franchise Players right behind Rocky and Remo. Planning on doing a 3 month build of Spade vs Parker (who is up to Star perception) to SC and pulling the double turn at the event. Remo's contract came up and I had to shell out big bucks to keep him away from USPW. I also ended up stealing both Greg Gauge and Edd Stone from TCW, just waiting on their contracts to start. Brought back Jack Bruce on a handshake deal, but not sure exactly what my plan is for him just yet. Ekuma and High Flying Hawaiian still have the tag belts and are currently fueding with the Awesomeness and Brandon James/John Greed. Currently planning on kicking Monty and Justin Sensitive out of the Rat Pack and replacing them with Dominic DeSousa and Sammy Smoke as a tag team and giving Paul a single's push. </p><p> </p><p> Weird to see everyone having such great success with Smasher, maybe he just got a bad roll in my game, but he hasn't been anything special.</p>
  11. Has anyone played around with starting a Women's division yet? I decided to sign a few to work in RIPW to see how they would do and they are putting up grades that would be right up with my B show immediately. I was going to wait to introduce them after Supreme Challenge, but now I'm thinking of running a title tournament that ends at SC40.
  12. I made Eric Eisen his mouthpiece when Eric was given the evil GM role. Also added Rogue in there due to some injuries. Greed is kind of in no man's land as I don't have a current plan for him. Playing around with the idea of having him and Brandon James as a tag team, but I don't really have room for another top heel team right now.

I never even looked. <p> </p><p> Anyway I think Mainstream Hernandez can be a star but I'm not feeling the name or gimmick. In 2016 I had him as Lance Joy. He was a Fallon style entertainer who would do segments with Sam Strong (I unretired and signed him, oops). When that went meh I turned him into a cult leader with the "House of Joy" (Huntington, Sexy and McClean were the "Deacons of Joy", Scythe was the judgment for those who didn't embrace Joy). </p><p> </p><p> Maybe I'll go that way but Scythe obviously won't be mere muscle though. I'm open to something else. Instagram influencer gimmick came to mind but that locks me into heel territory (wrestling fans cheering for an influencer, nah).</p><p> </p><p> Anyway any suggestions appreciated.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I usually change his name to Jimmy/James Hernandez, as I also can't stand the Mainstream name and pick a render that doesn't have a puka shell necklace. I also turned him face early on to help balance things out. In 2016 he turned into a real star in my SWF save. I usually book him as a mix of Matt Riddle subtle stoner mannerisms mixed with pretty boy face character. I guess somewhat close to NXT Tyler Breeze in that respect, but not full blown "I'm a model" territory.</p><p> </p><p> John Greed is always my go-to guy when any cultish heel stable is formed, either as the leader, mouthpiece, or just a member. If you're looking for muscle that isn't Scythe, there are a lot of good monster heels that could benefit from a gimmick change near the bottom of the card like Avalanche, Chill or Bear or in development like Son of Vengeance. Could also being in a free agent like Dreadnought.</p>
  14. That is what I thought as well, but I hired all these guys right at the start of the game and they have been featured multiple times on my B show and a few appearances on the A show. The only one on the main roster that has managed to crack the 20's across the board is Ant-Man who is getting some rub in angles on the main show right now and he just hit 21 pop. I've had Ernest Youngman and Davis Wayne Newton get clean wins over Jungle Lord and American Machine and their pop has gone up maybe 10 points from where it started. Meanwhile Logan Wolfsbaine has gone 6-2 in development and is 37 across the world. If it's working as intended, that's great, I have no issue doing the NXT route of throwing guys in development for a few months to introduce them and then call them up. Just doesn't feel like it's working correctly.
  15. Just finished up March in my first SWF save and it's going well. Have managed to elevate Parker, Spade, Hernandez, and Primus firmly into Star territory. Stole Rick Law from USPW to give myself another upper card babyface and have won the last 2 area battles against them. Slowly building to a Spade vs Parker NA Championship fued to really push them to the next level, debating if I want to try to pull a double turn. Despite what their attributes might say, I've always seen Parker as the heel and Spade as the face.

At this point I'm just going to call up the guys that are over and send the others down to development to get their pop up quickly.</p>
  17. Not sure if anyone else has posted this or if I should put in the Tech Support forum, but has anyone else noticed that Developmental workers gain pop a lot quicker than main roster guys? I'm playing as SWF and gave myself a network and gave RIPW air time on the network, I now have 4 guys (Logan Wolfsbaine, Austin Smooth and two others I can't remember) who went from single digit pop to 25-40 across the board in 3 months. Meanwhile guys that were on the main roster (Ernest Youngman, Davis Wayne Newton) have gone up about maybe 10 points in the same time frame, while constantly getting wins and a few wins over guys with 40-55 pop.
  18. I understand completely what you are saying here, but this is something I just experienced in my SWF that doesn't make sense. At the start of the save Scythe has White Hot momentum and is considered a major star. The main event of my first Supreme TV was Scythe and Randy defeating Rocky Golden and Angry Gilmore in an 82 ranked tag match followed by an 81 rated angle with him being successful. After that 1 show he dropped down to Star and now has Warm momentum. I don't get how he drops a level and has his momentum have such a drastic drop after a win and a successful angle, which are both rated higher than his overall and the pop of the company.
  19. <p>SWF was the first fed I got invested in when I started getting into the C-Verse in 2016. I actually like the position they are in at the start of 2020, although it feels very similar to where they were in 2016. You have quite a few aging stars to use to help put over the up and comers. Spade, Parker, Starr, and Hernandez should only need a few storylines with the aging vets to get over the hump and make it firmly to the upper end of the card. I did a test save to get used to some of the new mechanics without much structure, but I have some solid plans for a more focused save. I think I'll milk a Golden vs Remo program one more time for SC and build up Scythe with Eric Eisen as his mouthpiece to be the true Monster Heel for the following year. One thing I did change was to switch Match Focus from Three Ring to Main Event. I was really struggling to get the minimum score of 81 for CANN with Three Ring focus. </p><p> </p><p> I also got to experience one of the new mechanics that is really cool, with stars coming to me offering to put over younger talent. Randy and Mikey offered to put over High Flying Hawaiian and Valiant offering to put over Ranger.</p>
  20. <p>First thing is to load up a default save to check out the changes to C-Verse. In previous years I was a RW player only, but something about then C-Verse clicked with me in 2016 and its pretty much all I play now. Secondly, I will take a look at how much work it will be to edit the data to bring some of my 2016 saves into 2020. I know the converter doesn't exist, but I have two saves I would really like to bring to 2020, so I'll be checking out the feasibility of doing that. </p><p> </p><p> The one gameplay change I think I'm most looking forward to is going to being able to run a child/developmental company. So that will probably be my first save.</p>
  21. My SWF save where I bought out MAW, hosted a 128 man Rip Chord Invitational won by Steven Parker, which turned him into a megastar and led directly into a MAW Invasion angle that I never finished booking. Would have eventually led to a Christian Faith return and Spencer Spade hot off finishing a movie to be the savior of the SWF.
  22. I recently started a new save with I think the 2005 data where I added the COTT as its own company that I control and gave myself a small network to broadcast a weekly show and events. Brought in the champs from the other promotions on PPA contracts. It's been a really fun save so far. James Prudence is currently the champ, but Mean Jean is going to follow up his Rip Chord Invitational win with a COTT Title reign here shortly.

  24. I've always heard of this mod, but I don't think I've ever seen it. Does anyone have a link to it? Interested in checking it out.
  25. <p>Was looking for a save to kill some time in last night and ended up jumping into my watcher save from the Risky Business mod which was currently in the year 1998. I started simming to the end of the year and the advance was stopped and I saw that Ted Turner had died and the ownership of WCW was up for grabs. Without even looking at the roster I immediately took over and boy did I inherit a dumpster fire of a company, yet somehow still number 2 in the world. My Main Event consists of Sgt. Slaughter, Ted DiBiase, Stan Lane, Paul Roma, Larry Zybszko and Fuerza Guerrera, who are all in time decline in one form or another. The rest of the roster has some notables like Liger, La Parka and Sting, and is full of random Japanese and Mexican workers.</p><p> </p><p> Luckily Scott Hall appears to be clean and was just barely outside of the Main Event and DiBiase was willing to drop the title to him without any fuss at the first PPV. William Regal, Rick Steiner, and David Schultz will all get programs Hall while I leach pop off the old timers and build up some under card guys. Brought in a way past his prime Flair to be the mouthpiece of a new Horseman stable to help some younger guys out. I've been signing as many of the up and coming guys as I can get my hands on including Edge and Christian, Dwayne Johnson, Christoper Daniels, Rey Misterio Jr, and Eddie and Chavo Guerrero since Chavo Sr is already on the roster. Going to be interesting to see how this roster looks a year from now. One of the first things I did was disable the Dirty Doctor and implemented drug testing, because I just have to get rid of some guys I'll never use. In 2 weeks, I've sent 5 workers to rehab already. </p><p> </p><p> Also an interesting tidbit I found when scouting people to sign: Jeff Jarrett was #3 in the previous top 500 and is an absolute cancer in the locker room.</p>
