<p>Current save:</p><p> </p><p> C'mon, hire someone we've heard of!: Well, I may have some money but I'm trying to get this promotion off the ground and I don't want to go bankrupt too quickly.</p><p> </p><p> Why did you hire women? Our promotion doesn't want to see women's matches: Missed that when I chose the type of promotion this was going to be. Plus, I do kind of need women to keep from being penalized...</p><p> </p><p> Push Nick Brubaker, not Ali!: Started those storylines in the first month. I can't help that you changed your mind on top villain after only two months. I'm trying for continuity here; I don't want to be WWE.</p><p> </p><p> Find a monster heel!: Working on it. Problem is that most of the people that are free agents are all these skinny types. Placing one of them as a monster would be like hiring DJ Qualls to scare Dwayne Johnson.</p>

Becky Lynch must decide whether she'll take the Raw Women's Title or the Smackdown one. If she ends up on Raw, Smackdown gains a women's wrestler and a tournament decides the new champ. If she keeps the Smackdown one, then Raw has the tournament.</p><p> </p><p> 2. Corey Graves can only commentate for Raw or Smackdown. Which means whoever doesn't get his services must find another color commentator.</p><p> </p><p> 3. Since the cruiserweights are being split between the two brands, each one must decide whether it needs a title or not.</p><p> </p><p> 4. Although you're under no obligation to do so, if you decide Raw is only two hours, then the split must be right down the middle. If it remains three, then Raw is allowed about 55 percent of the roster.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Team Raw:</strong></p><p> </p><p> 5. Protect the champs:</p><p> Each champion must hang onto their titles for at least 6 months, barring injury or extenuating circumstances.</p><p> </p><p> 6. Roman Rules</p><p> Roman Reigns must remain face for two years; after that point, feel free to do what you like with his character.</p><p> </p><p> 7. Brock Lock</p><p> Brock Lesnar, if he remains with Raw, must have a six months feud with Bobby Lashley culminating in a Lions Den Match.</p><p> </p><p> 8. Next Superstars</p><p> Curt Hawkins, having recently won the tag title with Zach Ryder, and Ember Moon are the wrestlers you'll need to push to the moon.</p><p> </p><p> 9. Next Big Thing</p><p> Paul Heyman names one wrestler from Raw as the next big thing he'll manage and lead to a world championship. This needs to happen within 12 months.</p><p> </p><p> 10. Tough Choice</p><p> Between Drew McIntyre, Jinder Mahal, and Dolph Ziggler: One becomes top challenger to the world title, one becomes a top challenger to the Intercontinental title, and the third becomes a contender for the tag titles.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Team Smackdown:</strong></p><p> </p><p> 11. Kofi-Mania</p><p> Kofi Kingston must remain world champion for at least six months, including the obligatory rematch with Daniel Bryan.</p><p> </p><p> 12. Evolving the New Day</p><p> During a celebration shortly after winning the title, Kofi must be attacked by the New Day much like how Evolution threw out Randy Orton. The New Day will pick a wrestler in number 15 to make their third member.</p><p> </p><p> 13. Tag Team Turmoil</p><p> The Hardy Boys want this final run with the tag titles to count. Have them lose the titles to an up and coming tag team (actual team, not two individuals in a temporary team).</p><p> </p><p> 14. Next Superstars</p><p> Mandy Rose and Andrade are the wrestlers that you should push as high on the card as they will go.</p><p> </p><p> 15. Speaking of New Day</p><p> Aiden English, Ali, and Eric Young: One becomes the third member of New Day. One becomes top contender for the Smackdown cruiserweight title (if that doesn't exist, then this one gets a push to the midcard). And the third will get a push for the US title.</p><p> </p><p> 16. Tough Calls</p><p> AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Randy Orton: One becomes a top contender for the world title, one becomes Samoa Joe's top contender for the US title, the third jobs out until the end of his contract.</p><p> </p><p> I hope these rules are suitable.</p>

Are we looking at the same champs as in real life WrestleMania 2019?

<p>I think SWF will have taken a step or two back.

<p>I'm curious to learn more about the various stable types. I suspect Adam will reveal more later on.</p><p> </p><p> I do welcome the changes made to stables for TEW 2020, particularly for AI. It will increase immersion and add another tool to the playbook.</p>

Rough and Ready. It's the nickname of President Zachary Taylor as well as town names in California, Georgia, New York and Pennsylvania.

Maybe it's one of those features that are being worked on for 2020 and it hadn't been announced yet? Certainly a possibility.

I'm trying (and failing) to come up with a name for a women's division. Want to keep it original and let people know they're serious wrestlers and not just eye candy. Any ideas?

You are only limited by your own imagination!</p>

For the CZW TV show, perhaps take a page from WWF and call it Action Zone?

<p>Today was a bit of a mixed bag.</p><p> </p><p> I'm fine with the addition of India (wouldn't have minded Brazil either). The idea of expanding Mexico was fine in spirit, but not necessarily sold on the names.

So I guess you could replicate house shows under this new feature (Lesser intent) and something like Tribute to the Troops (Throwaway Intent) as well? Neat!

<p>Alright, I've changed my mind.</p><p> </p><p> I want to play NYCW using Jack Avatar as a Owner/Booker. Looking to make the product more modern while freshening up the main event.</p><p> </p><p> Got some rules for me?</p>

That's actually a great first feature. Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve for TEW2020.

Alright, getting ready to build my own local promotion in the May 2001 mod. Haven't picked up anybody yet, but I feel some rules might give me some structure for this game (and may allow me to stick around for a while).
