<p>Started up a 2017 ROH save with Cody Rhodes as my avatar, and man it has been fun. First and foremost, let’s talk about the figurehead of my company, the guy who sells out the buildings, the ace, Colt Cabana. Guy must have hit the random stat roll lottery. He’s up to low 90s across the US, Canada and Mexico and he’s in the mid 80s in Japan. He even got himself in shape and has his SQ in the high 80s. He can do no wrong right now. Another surprise has been Frankie Kazarian, Christopher Daniels was in deep time decline so I split them up and he has become my top heel very quickly. </p><p> </p><p> Hangman Adam Page enjoyed a nice run with the TV title which saw him successfully defend it 15 times until he finally lost to Tim Donst. Page is now chasing the 6 man titles with the Bucks. He’s also teaming with the two newest members of the Bullet Club, Flip Gordon and Jay White.</p><p> </p><p> The tag scene has been dominated by Chuckie T and Trent?, they have been absolute gold on the mic and put out some great matches. They just finished their fued with the Bucks and are now set to take on Marty Scurll and Zack Sabre Jr.</p><p> </p><p> I’m about to run War of the Worlds and the card is shaping up nicely.</p><p> </p><p> Cabana vs Okada (Colt will pin him clean)</p><p> Kenny vs Cody (Cody isn’t in Bullet Club, giving Kenny the win)</p><p> Rey Mysterio vs Kazarian (Frankie can take a loss here and be fine)</p><p> ROH Tag Title ladder match: © Best Friends vs Briscoes (IWGP Tag) vs Bucks (IWGP JR Tag) vs Angelico and Jack Evans (AAA Tag)</p><p> ROH 6 man titles: MCMG and Garagno vs Naito, Evil and Takahasi</p>

<p>This could end up being a long post but this is probably the biggest story line I have ever planned for a save and I want to get some input. </p><p> </p><p> It's July 2017 and I just finished booking Supreme Challenge 37 and I need to transition into having 3 brands. I bought out MAW early this year and have been running them as my B show, while keeping their titles. My plan is to do a full blown MAW invasion angle which eventually leads to MAW becoming its own brand. I just need ideas on how to book it to make it work.</p><p> </p><p> Do I start out with a small group and or go straight into full on company war? There are a few guys I want to turn before I get too far deep, but I have an abundance of former MAW workers (it's always been my favorite C-Verse promotion)</p><p> </p><p> Steven Parker, Hollywood Brett Starr, Findlay O'Farraday, Matthew Keith, Jay Chord, KC Glenn are all heels and have been on the roster for at least few months. Along with a good bit of my mid card. I could realistically field a 20-30 man MAW roster immediately.</p><p> </p><p> I somewhat started the angle before the PPV by referencing Casey Valentine and Cameron Vessey in angles with Parker and the team of Matthew Keith and Jay Chord. They made their debut at SC37 to kick start the angle. </p><p> </p><p> I also have Jimmy (Mainstream) Hernadez, Greg Gauge, Sam Keith, Des Davids and Jefferson Stardust as faces. Keith will turn because I already edited Rip Chord back in to the game world and will have the two be the masterminds of the invasion. Might have Hernadez stay face, not sure. Greg is still a big toss up, but I'm also leaning face for him. Davids can turn, he's not doing anything else. </p><p> </p><p> Jack Bruce is on a vacation after losing to Remo at SC37. He will be back in 2 months to make a big save for the SWF. This will all ultimately build up to the return of Spencer Spade who is off filming a movie for another 3 months. The SWF guys being involved consists of Angry Gilmore, a recently turned Crippler, Kirk Jameson, and pretty much a whole host of other guys. It will also feature a reunion of the Bumfholes, who haven't teamed in over 2 years. </p><p> </p><p> I plan on still having my 2nd brand operate almost entirely outside of this story. It's filled with other guys that do not really fit either side. </p><p> </p><p> So my options are: </p><p> </p><p> A) Start with a small group and grow gradually like the original plan for the nWo</p><p> </p><p> B) Go with a big Invasion off the bat. Have them take over one of my A shows, and go SWF vs MAW</p><p> </p><p> C) Have them take over my MAW B show, make it a main show and span the story over 2 shows a week</p><p> </p><p> Any ideas or feedback is welcomed. Thanks guys</p>

<p>Finally got around to booking SummerSlam in my WWE Save, my first 99 rated event in this save, boosted SummerSlam to Legendary Importance. It was an absolutely stacked card. My two lowest matches were Roman vs The Miz and Ambrose vs Brock, which both scored 78.</p><p> </p><p> Here are the more noteworthy matchups</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Kenny Omega vs AJ Styles</strong></p><p> Great opening match, Omega picks up the win so both guys can move on. Omega will move on to a program with Rollins that should produce some great matches. More on Styles later.</p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">86</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>IC Title: Daniel Bryan vs Bray Wyatt</strong></p><p> Bryan retains to end this fued, Bray will get a solid streak going and Harper should be returning soon to solidify The Wyatt Family again. Bryan vs Angle in a dream fued is up next. </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">93</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Raw Tag: Young Bucks beat New Day</strong></p><p> Nick Jackson puts up an 100 individual performance, The Bucks have been simply fantastic since I signed them, pumping out 80+ rated matches every week. New Day will be splitting on the following RAW. Bucks will be facing Midnight Riders (Rhodes and Joey Ryan) next.</p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">84</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>US: Adam Cole vs Curtis Axel</strong></p><p> Cole wins the blowoff match after taking the title at the last PPV. Not sure what's next for Axel, but he's been solid the entire save. Cole vs Balor will keep The ELITE vs Bullet Club story going. </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">80</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>LHW: Zach Sabre Jr. vs Tyson Kidd</strong></p><p> Sabre wins, Tyson will move up to the main SD show, waiting for Sabre to drop the PWG title and then I'll sign him to a written deal. Sabre will battle Bobby Fish next, he needs something to do until O'Reilly comes back from injury.</p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">79</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Women's: AJ Lee vs Charlotte</strong></p><p> Charlotte retains after a returning Beth Phoenix attacks AJ, probably will move AJ away from the title until Mania, where she will get her big win. Natalya will fill in as challenger until then. </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">84</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>WWE: CM Punk vs Seth Rollins Cage Match</strong></p><p> Punk wins after being screwed out of the title by HHH and Vince over the last few PPVs. His celebration is short lived as AJ Styles cashes in his MitB contract after the match and picks up the pin and the belt. If AJ can put together some solid performances and increase his pop, he will hold it until Mania, where he will drop it to Punk. </p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">93</span></p><p> </p><p> Four days before the show, word gets out that Randy Orton has had an affair with Naomi while Jimmy Uso has been away at rehab for painkillers. Now a quarter of my roster hates him. Naturally I signed The Rock on for a short deal and had him and the Guerillas of Destiny put him through a table off the stage to write him off for two months. I've never been a fan of Randy, so having a reason to punish is great, Roman will be getting a Mania win off of him now.</p>

<p>Well Joey Ryan's plans for the next two years are set in stone now.</p><p> </p><p> Small update too, Hideo Itami tears his MCL in a 3 way match a day after his first segment with Nakamura gets a 95 rating. He's out two months, just signed Ibushi and was planning on giving them the first reign as my Light Heavyweight Trios Champions.</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestions guys. Was just about to jump back into this save. </p><p> </p><p> Think I'm going with:</p><p> Midnight Riders for Ryan and Rhodes, put them in with Miz and Maryse and just have random members of the women's roster with them in angles, they are a lot of fun to book</p><p> </p><p> Million Dollar Bulldogs for Smith and Dibiase, they are about to get the tag titles since Kyle O'Reilly got injured causing reDDragon to have to drop the belts</p><p> </p><p> Kings of Swag Style is actually a great gimmick for them, was struggling for something to do with them since I had Nakamura debut with the bullet club but now that he turned I wanted to distance him for a while. Should be fun booking them for a while</p><p> </p><p> Thanks again guys. All the suggestions were great</p>

<p>Need a few names for some new teams in my WWE save</p><p> </p><p> Face Hideo Itami and Shinsuke Nakamura</p><p> Heel Harry Smith and Ted Dibiase Jr </p><p> Heel Cody Rhodes and Joey Ryan</p>

<p>WWE Save</p><p> </p><p> Been on and off with my WWE save using 2016 data. Finally built up to the brand split and planning tag expansions to the Cruiserweight and Women's Division. </p><p> </p><p> I went crazy and signed a bunch of people I wanted to use but have been doing a ton of stable wars to help keep my bloated roster involved. </p><p> </p><p> Right now:</p><p> <strong>UNITED</strong> (Cesaro, Kidd, Swagger, Galloway)</p><p> <strong>League of Nations</strong> </p><p> <strong>The Club</strong> (AJ, Balor, Gallows, Anderson, soon to be turned Nakamura)</p><p> <strong>The Elite</strong> (Omega, Bucks, Cole)</p><p> <strong>Alpha Squad</strong> (Angle, American Alpha, Shelton)</p><p> <strong>We Got Kids</strong> (Slater, Revival)</p><p> <strong>The Authority</strong> (Trips, Rollins, EC3, Joe)</p><p> <strong>The Heyman Group</strong> (Brock, Axel, Sabre, Scurll, Charlotte)</p><p> And my personal favorite</p><p> <strong>World's Cutest Stable</strong> (Bayley, Emma, Becky, Candice Larae)</p><p> </p><p> Signed up quite a few veteran tag teams in as well. </p><p> </p><p> As for main fueds</p><p> <strong>WWE Title</strong> Seth is fighting with Roman, going to have Seth keep the belt and move Roman away. Seth will get a returning CM Punk for the next few </p><p> months. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>IC Title</strong> Bryan vs Miz, going to make this the main belt on Smackdown and bring back the European title. Might even rebrand as Smackdown Worldwide and use a lot of foreign wrestlers. Bryan wins to boost title prestige. May revisit Bryan vs the Wyatt Family. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>US Title</strong> Axel is calling out Ambrose. This is a setup for a Brock return for a fued with Ambrose. Axel gets a cheap win and keeps the belt. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Tag Titles</strong> New Day holds on until Bucks are over. Another month or two. New Day splits after. Bucks hold the titles maybe forever. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Women's</strong> Charlotte will fight Sasha at the PPV then immediately move into a fued with AJ, who will then take the belt and help the Division get over. I'm debating on making a 3rd Brand for the Women. </p><p> </p><p> About to book King of The Ring with two 8 person tournaments. Men and Women. Cesaro will beat Omega for the men and Candice Larae will beat Paige in the women's.</p><p> </p><p> Haven't truly began my Cruiserweight Division, but I have the talent in place. They will get a few matches on Smackdown and an extra hour and a half on Superstars.</p>

Quick update on my SWF save. I am down four Main Eventers in a month and may lose my National Battle in Mexico to SOTBPW. Mikey Lau- Given time off after injuring Steven Parker, might give him more time off when he comes back Steven Parker- injured for about another month but will be back in time for Supreme Challenge Spencer Spade- Currently filming a movie, he's the most popular wrestler in the world now, Champagne Lover has been out with a concussion for about 6 months now and he's most likely going to be my next figurehead Skull DeBones- He wasn't really being used and didn't fit my plans moving forward for the direction of the company. NOTBPW offered him a huge deal, so I let him walk. SOTBPW stole Nicky Champion and Valiant from USPW and myself, and they just declared war on me.

<p>Jumped back into my SWF save in the default data. Finished up the booking for the first ever SWF Network Presents the Rip Chord Invitational.</p><p> </p><p> Final 4 was a collection of some of the best MAW talents of all time:</p><p> Steven Parker</p><p> Jimmy "Mainstream" Hernandez</p><p> Greg Gauge</p><p> Hollywood Bret Starr</p><p> </p><p> Steven Parker took home the tournament win and now has earned a title shot of his choice. The final show also saw the first appearance of Jay Chord, who came out to present the trophy and then joined Matthew Keith in beating up the runner up, Greg Gauge, continuing their storyline.</p><p> </p><p> In the Quarterfinal round we saw the best match in the tournament, a 95 match between Steven Parker and Mikey Lau. Given that Mikey Lau is the ELITE brand champion and has been North American Champion for almost a year at this point, I decide to go ahead with a fued between the two. The build up to their match was electric. Each week Parker would come to the ring with an increasingly bigger trophy for winning the RCI. The two were absolute gold on the mic with each other and I was getting myself hyped for their match, hoping it would be my first 100 in this save.</p><p> </p><p> After Joey Morgan vs Aaron Andrews and Angry Gilmore vs Joshua Taylor both delivered 93 rated matches, I was all set for our Main Event. I got a disappointing 88 and Lau gave Parker a back injury which will knock him out of action for two months. On the following episode of ELITE, Lau issued a formal apology and will be taking time off to clear his head.</p><p> </p><p> Originally not the plans I had for this story, but it might work out better. Gives me the chance to give Mikey a nice break and have him come back as a heel down the road. I can also play the sympathy card for Parker and give him his first chance as the top babyface. First he will have a fued with the Interim North American Champion Angry Gilmore.</p>

If I give someone a year vacation, will their pop decline over time? I'm trying to turn Mikey James heel, but he doesn't want due to merchandise money. If I send him away for 6 months/a year will his pop have dropped enough for me to be able to make the turn? Thanks.

The Crippler and Spencer Spade seem perfect for this idea due to Crippler being pissed off about his former gimmick and Spade being stuck so long in developmental. I'm not certain who else would be good for it though, since obviously it's going to need more then two guys.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I don't know if you figured out who to use yet, but I have a few ideas. If you have already split or are planning to split either the Bumfholes or the Awesomeness, you can use who one of the them as being upset with being stuck in the tag ranks for forever. You could bring up Primus Allen from developmental to be the muscle, he has high menace, which will help in angles. You could also turn Robbie Retro or Captain Atomic and give them a new name and gimmick, citing their old gimmicks were holding them back.</p>

<p>Started a save in the 97 C Verse with a reopened California Pro Wrestling, I got through the first year tonight and what a year it was. I formed an alliance with CZCW, CGC, and OLLIE. Signed a core group of guys and will be using talent trades and loans to fill out my roster. </p><p> </p><p> My Main Event as of Jan 98:</p><p> Steve Flash (First Champ)</p><p> Brent Hill (Won the belt after Flash missed two straight shows due to injury)</p><p> Duane Stone (Won the belt at the last event after having the best match every event, he also won independent wrestler of the year)</p><p> Tom Gilmore (Current CZCW Champ, reiging King of the Indy's Tournament winner, already finished a tour with BHOTWG, all at age 19)</p><p> Sammy Bach (CPW and CZCW tag champ)</p><p> Troy Tornado (CPW and CZCW tag champ)</p><p> </p><p> So far in year one:</p><p> May- Sam Strong OD's and Dread goes down for 6 months on the same day. Shane Sneer is the new booker at HGC.</p><p> July- Bring in Jack Bruce for a one off in a 6 man match for the belt and he almost kills Human Arsenal. Out for over a year.</p><p> December- SWF fall to cult, HGC is right behind them.</p>

Can I get some rules for a MAW game in the default C-Verse. Thanks in advance.

<p>SWF Jan 2017 </p><p> World Heavyweight: Remo</p><p> North American: Mikey Lau</p><p> Shooting Star: Joey Morgan (have to remember to not book PPVs at 4 AM)</p><p> TV: Steven Parker</p><p> Tag: John Greed and Justin Sensitive</p><p> Uprising: Ernest Youngman</p><p> Uprising Tag: Cali Slick and Fro Sure</p>

Sadly, that means the company has to go out of business.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> Thanks for the quick reply man. Sucks that they have to go out of business, maybe I'll change my current Uprising/nXt type brand into a MAW brand and use their titles for it. That way I can keep MAW "alive" but still get their titles.</p>

<p>Finally found some time away from Division and Overwatch to play my SWF save and finally booked Supreme Challenge 36.</p><p> </p><p> Held my first ever Money in the Bank ladder match between, Mikey Lau, Brandon James, Valiant, Paul Huntingdon, Rogue, and Randy Bumfhole. Valiant picked up the win because I didn't want to put Lau in the World Title Picture just yet.</p><p> </p><p> Jimmy Hernandez and Steven Parker retained the tag titles also in a ladder match against The Eliminators (Greg Gauge and my UC) and Technically Flawless (John Greed and Justin Sensitive)</p><p> </p><p> Skull Debones lost to Remo in a cage match</p><p> </p><p> Jack Bruce and Marat faced off with Jack taking the win</p><p> </p><p> And the Main Event was a 30 minute classic between Angry Gilmore and The Crippler, in which The Crippler retained his title. He didn't get to celebrate long as Rocky Golden emerged on stage to stare down The Crippler.</p><p> </p><p> My first ever A rated event. It was awesome.</p><p> </p><p> Decided to pull the trigger on a brand split right after SC36 and made the Elite brand to go along with SWFTV and Uprising. Was able to call up a bunch of guys from development to fill out the rosters. SWFTV will have the World Heavyweight Title, TV title, while Elite gets the North American and Shooting Star Titles. The Tag Titles will float between brands until I can get more teams in the mix. Uprising also has a World and Tag title of their own.</p><p> </p><p> Biggest fueds moving forward</p><p> SWFTV:</p><p> Crippler vs Golden- Will most likely give Golden a run with the Strap and build towards a huge Remo vs Golden SC37 match</p><p> </p><p> Eisen vs Spade and Scythe- been running this fued for a good 6 months or so now, originally was going to turn Eisen, but now I'm planning on turning Spade and then having him jump to the Elite Brand</p><p> </p><p> Tag Fued- I eventually want to take the Titles off Parker and Hernandez so they can start their singles runs. Just need to pull the trigger. Slowly buidling up the teams of Fin O'Farrady and Marshall Dillon as big tough rednecks, The Ring Generals, The All-Americans and The Firm which is James Prudence and his protege Logan Wolfsbaine.</p><p> </p><p> Elite:</p><p> Lau vs Randy Bumfhole- Didn't have much for Randy after I split him from his brother, which was part of my motivation for the brand split. Gave him and Lau a throwaway match on TV a while back and they had great chemistry so here we are</p><p> </p><p> Joey Morgan vs Rogue- I'm going to have Rogue play mind games on Morgan which will eventually lead to a heel turn and title shot for him after Randy gets his shot.</p><p> </p><p> Kirk Jameson vs Hollywood Brett Starr- Excellent Chemistry as partners and Great Chemistry as opponents. After failing to capture the tag titles, these two will face off to prove who is the better wrestler. Probably my favorite fued right now.</p>

MAW is about to go out of business in my SWF save, I'm thinking about buying them since I would hate to lose MAW. I really want to be able to take the Rip Cord Invitational and Sam Keith Classic and run them similar to the WWE is doing the Cruiserweight Classic whenever I start my own network. If I buy them out will I be able to take the titles for myself or would they have to close for me to be able to buy them?

I could use some names for the following teams in SWF. Hollywood Bret Start and Kirk Jameson Steven Parker and Jimmie (Mainstream) Herandez El Mitico Jr and American Patriot (El Mitico just relocated to the tri state area)

<p>Finally got around to booking The World is Watching in my SWF save, and I overbooked the crap out of it and got a B-, not terrible but I really wanted an A. I got indecisive on which storylines to end and ended up keeping most of them.</p><p> </p><p> Biggest news came two days after the PPV. Two contracts came up for renewal. Mikey Lau who after the PPV is a bonafide main eventer and NICKY CHAMPION!!</p><p> </p><p> SWF, TCW, NOTBPW, and USPW engaged in a huge bidding war for Champion and Eisen even let me open up the checkbook to try to sign him. In the end we lost out to a 72k a month contract from SOTBPW, who came in with huge money at the end just as it seemed that I had him wrapped up. He could have been a huge hire, but in the end he's out of USPW, who has been stuck at cult since Feb.</p><p> </p><p> I had to go crazy to re-sign Lau but he's a big part of my company plans for the next few years so I made sure I kept him. He's going to have a very similar run to Daniel Bryan in real life. May even wait until Supreme Challenge 40 to give him his big win. </p><p> </p><p> Decided to do a lite roster split to call up some of my dev guys. Once I get my midcard built up, I may look at a full 3 way brand split, think 02-04 Raw and Smackdown, stars on raw, workers on smackdown. And will use Uprising as my NXT that I can book.</p><p> </p><p> Everest won his lawsuit against us and we had to pay him $303,000. Worth it.</p>

For the last year of TEW I've mostly played in the C-Verse, but as smaller companies such as CZCW or MAW, or I've used a created company. Well for 2016 I decided to give SWF a try as I've never really given them a shot. I let the Auto Booker handle the first month, including PPV. I took over whenever the storylines started to suffer. Currently finishing the lead up to The World is Watching The AI put the title back on Gilmore at the first PPV, which given the lack of faces at the top of the card I was ok with. I let him retain over Remo and Rogue at the next PPV, allowing for Marat to come in and destory him after the main event. Their first match went to DQ after Marat snapped not being able to put Gilmore away. Gilmore will retain at TWiW, cementing his place at the top of the mountain. Remo is locked into a fued with DeBones, although they haven't actually faced off yet, might ride it out until Supreme Challenge before they actually wrestle. Remo is still pretty young so I'll keep him away from the belt for a little while. The Bruce and Crippler storyline is still going on. My plan right now is for Cirppler to injure Bruce so I can see how we do with Bruce on a 2 month vacation. He'll come back for the build up to Supreme Challenge where he will most likely face Marat. Crippler will move into a title fued with Glimore. Joey Morgan is now a main eventer and is currently fueding with Rogue. I also have Mikey Lau fueding with Brandon James. Will probably do a 4 way at TWiW and have Lau take the title off of Morgan. Both fueds will last at least for one more month. Pulled the trigger on a Randy Bumfhole turn out of necessity. I completely butchered his gimmick, so I had to turn him. Still in the middle of his fued with Zimmy, which may last a while. Had Jefferson Stardust turn up in my NBT list, and with the emergence of two new tag teams, I was able to turn him face and allow him to move up the card. Quick throwaway fued with Huey before he moves on to bigger things. Got insanely lucky and got good chemistry with the teams of Jimmy Hernandez and Steven Parker and Brett Starr and Kirk Jameson. Gave them a throwaway match on my B show when they were all Midcard/Lower Mid and they pulled a B-. Found the cornerstones of my tag division for the next year which will most likely give me 2-4 sure fire Main Eventers in 2 years. Trying to build up the team of my UC and Greg Gauge so I can do a 3 team ladder match for the titles at Supreme Challenge. Else where Spencer Spade is slowing moving up the card. Eric Eisen is doing open challenges against local talent every week, not sure who will be the one to take him out. And Valiant is fueding with Hudington because I have nothing else for them to do. A freshly turned Sammy Smoke is one storyline away from the Main Event. Everest threw a punch at Eisen, so I fired him and now he's suing me. I never thought I would enjoy SWF, but this game has been awesome.
