I guess it's a matter of wait and see then. Not like I can use him at the moment anyway. Thanks for the help everybody!

Hi all, so I have a question: Has your user character ever suffered an effectively career-ending injury? Five months into my RTG game, my character suffered a badly herniated spinal disc and is out for around a year and a half. I'm wondering what this is going to mean for them going forward in terms of physical effects and if they will have to retire from in ring competition. Has anybody else ever found themselves in this situation?

So after running APW for just under four years, I built them to cult. I quickly realized that I was beginning to lose too much money and I didn't really have any new things to do with the promotion, so I moved on and opened a new lucha promotion in Mexico. This lasted for nearly two years, which included my champion (and COTT champion) Blue Phantom dying in a freak gardening accident after about a year, which was quite a blow for me as he was my most popular guy and was putting on the best matches. After that company eventually going bankrupt (I was only about two months away from getting us back in the black) I'm taking this as a hint to start a new game. Still, over five years is definitely the longest I've played in game time.

<p>A little over two years (February 2018) into my APW game now, and things have really started to get interesting.</p><p> </p><p> After being frugal with a terrible economy for my entire game, the economy and industry have started improving in a big way. For the first time, my popularity has really started to improve, thus increasing my crowds with it. As I was about to renegotiate my commercial TV deal for events (on demand sure beats graveyard), I noticed that I can finally get a PPV deal. Didn't make much from the first show (only about $5,000) but hopefully that starts improving relatively quickly. I used my old deal to start a TV show with the old timeslot. I'm losing a fair bit of money per month at this point, but right now I think the potential popularity growth will be worth it.</p><p> </p><p> Right now I'm in an East Coast battle with DIW, and relative newcomers YEPW. I'm not sure how much longer this will last though, as while YEPW are putting on some excellent shows with such a small company, both companies are well into debt. This is great news for me, as a big reason for my inability to grow as much as I'd like is because of YEPW's shows which often end up with higher ratings than my own. Although I'd rather not have some of their better workers, because they're toxic backstage.</p><p> </p><p> Things have been relatively stable in my company. Sean Quartermainne died fairly early on and a couple of my better workers moved up to RAW, but nothing I couldn't handle. I've now got Nighthawk out for a year with a torn quad, which while it is a big pain in the butt for me as I was giving him a decent push, the timing was kinda lucky as I'd just taken the tag belts off him and Lone Shark about a week before.</p><p> </p><p> Things around the world have been pretty interesting. Both MAW and ACPW have closed over the course of 2017. TCW have been in a spot of decline, especially since a scandal erupted and their CEO was fired about a month ago. Only time will tell if they can recover. PGHW are also in massive debt so I don't know if they're gonna be around much longer. Although, they've just been bought out by Yoshimi Mushashibo who seems to have a good amount of money and skill so that could be something to keep an eye on. It's now become a comfortable two-horse race between SWF and USPW.</p>

Three days into a new game and Axxis Jr is out for a year with a herniated spinal disc... Yay.

Well after playing this game successfully for many years, I've totally underestimated the new production system. I started my first new game yesterday with MAW and only managed to last a few months. Got too worried about what my competitors were doing and spent far too much money trying to outdo them. On the plus side, I've now got my head around the new booking system.
