Can I create a brand split where all my workers are on one show and some of my workers are the only ones that work on another show? Basically like how WWE treats cruiserweights (they can be on Raw with the whole roster but are the only ones on 205 live)

<p>Fair enough. My first SWF save I had him insert himself in the Bruce/Crippler feud because that felt like it needed to have the blow off at Supreme Challenge and Marat provided a nice roadblock for Bruce on that road. Working with Bruce that much probably help push his ratings a fair amount as well.</p><p> </p><p> Having Remo leave for SOTBPW made Marat worth a lot more since I had no one that was ready to take the place of dominant heel. Allen and Bekowski will get there but neither is ready yet and Marat/Valiant at my next Supreme Challenge 2017 is going to be pretty huge with Marat's name value and Valiant's first World title. Replacing Marat with someone like Allen or Bear wouldn't have the same oomph for a huge main event/story.</p>

Bear Bekowski and Primus Allen (and Scythe, though he's taking a little longer) have grown into perfectly fine upper card monsters with way better match ratings then I'd ever get out of Marat.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Primus Allen is great but I can't see any reason a user controlled big three company wouldn't sign Marat just for the push in National Battles. Even if you put him on an events only contract or literally do nothing with him, the value in National Battles immediately moves any of them to #1 in the US.</p>

I made the seemingly mandatory Khoklov hire and was excited about him, but I've yet to get a single good match out of the guy. Is that common?<p> </p><p> I started him with a long fued with Skull DeBones and the feud was pretty hot after a month of dueling Menace promos. I decided to try out the Epic agent note and the match bombed. I chalked it up the note and continued the fued. they blew off the feud with a standard singles match and only got a 74 rating despite it being a hot feud. </p><p> </p><p> I thought it might have been DeBones not having much in way of momentum and not being the best worker, so I moved Khoklov into a fued with valiant that I expected would be what catapulted Valiant into the main event and the title scene. That turned out pretty well after they feuded for two months and stacked up a huge array of 100 rated angles. Both had very positive momentum going into the blowoff, Khoklov's popularity was 90 and Valiant's was 82, but the match ended up with like a 75 rating. I'm able to do better than that with upper midcarders in a random tag match. </p><p> </p><p> I did bump up modern to medium to get rid of the penalty to high flying, my product is still Pop > perf but now a little less so. Is that hurting my match ratings? My workers are all getting over but I've only pulled a few 90+ rated matches.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> At the beginning I got the same out of him. He puts on great angles but his matches were pretty meh. I added him to the Crippler/Bruce feud to extend it to Supreme Challenge but his matches tagging with Crippler were in the 80's with Bruce carrying the performance.</p><p> </p><p> I'm in November now and he's gained more than 10 points in basics/psych/consistency in that short time. I put the SWF title on him and he's feuding with Rogue and they're putting on matches in the 90's even with dirty finishes. I've had Khoklov working with tons of different guys and he pretty much only does great with guys that are going to carry high ratings against anyone. His best match was a fatal four way with Gilmore, James and Crippler.</p><p> </p><p> He's great for national battles and he's great for angles while he improves letting someone else carry him. I wanted to have a monster heel have a good run since Remo got stolen by SOTBPW so that's why he's got the title. Title prestige is definitely bumping up his stock right now.</p>

SWF November 2016 I've made way too many tag teams to the point were basically everyone midcard and under is in a tag team so I'm running out of gimmicks. I ended up giving the Platinum Blondes multiple segments where they make an open challenge and no one answers so they throw a temper tantrum in the ring. Not sure where this will lead though.

I just wondered what the consensus was. I like him and all, like he's fine. But I really don't see him as anything other than "a good hand". I'm in the first couple months of my SWF save and he still has my North American Championship and he's been a fine champ, even main eventing episodes of Supreme TV in his defences, but I don't see him ever progressing beyond that.</p><p> </p><p> He has some of the best top row stats in the company and his in-ring work is great but his promos aren't exactly setting the world on fire and to say he doesn't work house shows and earns double what everyone bar Jack Bruce earns it just feels like the SWF reached when they signed this one.</p><p> </p><p> He hasn't helped his cause by having a falling out with me backstage my first night on the job, either</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> The thing with Morgan is that he is young enough to keep improving for a little while. There are plenty of guys who can carry an entertainment segment for Morgan. I've always found that growing Entertainment skills is easier than growing top row so I would prefer guys like Morgan who can grow into better entertainment skills by working with the guys at the top of the SWF card.</p>

Had the same thing happen but Champion's contract just came up. It looks like I'll be getting him as TCW doesn't have the money and SOTBPW (which is 3rd in national battles in the US) isn't making a bid. It's perfect timing too since Marat Khoklov just took the belt off Rogue and Champion would start his contract shortly before their feud ends at the next PPV. But really I just want to get Champion close enough to the Hall of Immortals that he and Bruce have a once in a lifetime match to close out a Supreme Challenge. Probably in 2018.

I would suggest you find him a tag partner called The Sexual Funkasaurus that's a cross between Brodus Clay and Sexual Chocolate Mark Henry

I've got a lot of ideas moving forward and I might even turn this into a diary (only 1 month in so not much catch-up to do)<p> </p><p> I've seen a few guys on here decry the starting SWF storylines as difficult to maintain the heat but I'm having no issues. The only kicker is that The Crippler and Jack Bruce have turned out to have poor chemistry together (didn't stop them turning in a B+ performance at When Hell Freezes Over)</p><p> </p><p> I previously had no real plans to use Valiant in any meaningful way but his performances through the first month have seen him become established as a proper main event calibre talent and I'm now thinking he could be one of the major players, as my long term goal is to revitalise the SWF's ageing main event scene over the next couple of years</p><p> </p><p> My biggest headache early on has been finding a role for Eric Eisen. He's undoubtedly one of the most useful talents at my disposal but I'm afraid creative just had nothing for him! I've begun a programme with he and Jerry Eisen but I'm only just now figuring out some cool ways to have that translate into actual matches</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Eisen is always a good mini faction leader too. Spencer Spade as a heel protege when he comes up is a good way to have Spade move up the card.</p>

<p>September 2016 - Still on my first SWF Save heading into Under Control. My current feuds.</p><p> </p><p> Dazzling Dave Diamond vs. Jungle Lord</p><p> </p><p> Hero Squad broke up and then Atomic was poached by USPW right after Supreme Challenge. I had planned for the feud to continue after Supreme Challenge. The feud revolved around Haley Buck being a "reporter" for the Hero Squad and eventually finding out that Jungle Lord planned to turn on Atomic. Their Supreme Challenge match was over Haley Buck's services as a personal reporter and Jungle Lord won, forcing Haley Buck to give him favorable interviews and becoming more aggressive as Buck becomes increasingly uncomfortable and beings making many mistakes during the interviews. At Welcome To The Jungle, Diamond debuted and attacked Jungle Lord. Not sure if Diamond will rescue Buck or if Buck will turn heel and get some Stockholm Syndrome with Jungle Lord</p><p> </p><p> American Machine vs. John Greed (North American Title)</p><p> </p><p> John Greed won the #1 Contender's match to face off for the North American title. After losing at Welcome to the Jungle, Greed continued to provoke Machine to get another title shot. Machine and Greed are both sitting fairly reliably in the middle of the card so depending on who my next rising star is will determine who wins this mini feud.</p><p> </p><p> Jack Bruce vs. Spencer Spade/Bear Bekowski/Greg Gauge/Hailama Hua (High Flyin Hawaiian)/Sammy Smoke </p><p> </p><p> Spencer Spade recruited Bear Bekowski and they became "Double BS". Spade's recruitment didn't end there and now he and his cohorts have become known as Double Trouble. A debuting Gauge and Hua joined shortly after Supreme Challenge and the group set its sights on Jack Bruce who finally came out of his feud with The Crippler with a victory at Supreme Challenge. The group attacked Bruce and is now antagonizing Bruce and costing him title shots every chance they get. The feud will keep Bruce occupied and set these up with good angles and matches to move them up the card. Sammy Smoke will probably find himself turned on by the group and put over the guys that are stalling on momentum. Hua isn't a good heel and is fresh onto the roster so he's got a ways to go before he's moving up the card but with his SQ of 93, once he gets to about midcard pop I'll be having him face turn and set up a match with Spade that will hopefully propel them both toward the top of the card. Spade will be with Bekowski as his enforcer and Gauge as his lackey for as long as possible. The other big stable is The Supremacy (A racist group of Eric Eisen, Squeeky McClean, and Robbie Retro) so Double Trouble could eventually turn face and hype up a huge feud but my plan for Supremacy was to have them be gatekeepers so I'm not sure if they'll last long enough for that.</p><p> </p><p> Jefferson Stardust vs. Brandon James</p><p> </p><p> The Awesomeness had an amicable breakup but eventually Huey Cannonball attacked Jefferson and they had a Loser Leaves Town match which Stardust won. Now looking to make his way up the card, Brandon James sees the potential and offers to help Jefferson out. When Jefferson refuses, James attacks him in frustration. James and Jefferson will have a couple of PPV matches to see how Jefferson responds to moving up the card.</p><p> </p><p> Mikey Lau vs. Primus Allen</p><p> </p><p> Mikey Lau upset Primus Allen putting an end to his win streak on Supreme TV. This drove Allen crazy and he has been hunting down Lau but Lau always seems to get the best of him. Lau is in negotiations right now and I'm afraid I might lose him (I play as booker so Richard Eisen usually limits me enough where I'm starting to lose bidding wars). If I keep Lau, he'll go over and get a main event feud to see if he's ready for the top of the card. If I lose the Lau sweepstakes, Davids will dominate and soak up some popularity to hopefully move him above the midcard.</p><p> </p><p> Marat Khoklov vs. Rogue (World Title)</p><p> </p><p> Rogue finally beat Remo at The World is Watching and has held the title for almost five months. After defending successfully against Brandon James, a new contender was crowned when Khoklov won a fatal four way to get a match against Rogue at Under Control. Khoklov is going to get the title and hold it for awhile. Crippler got Khoklov to join him in his feud against Jack Bruce but once Khoklov has the title, he's going to turn on Crippler and become an unstoppable monster. Khoklov will likely hold the title for a long time before he puts over either Valiant or Joey Morgan at Supreme Challenge 37.</p><p> </p><p> Bumfholes vs. Pain Alliance</p><p> </p><p> The Pain Alliance have been monsters in the tag team division (and not monsters backstage even though Laramee has a poor relationship with my user character). For the Bumfholes this is likely their last shot at the belts before a new contender goes after the belt. I don't see the Bumfholes being broken up and will likely be feuding with one of the young groups I have.</p><p> </p><p> Hollywood Sex (Bret Starr and Joe Sexy) vs. Bigger in Texas (Brett Biggins and Marshall Dillon) vs. Hollywood Blondes vs. Mystery Men (El Mitico Jr and Masked Patriot)</p><p> </p><p> Good chemistry tag teams moving up the card for a title shot. Not entirely sure where I'm going with this one but I think Bigger in Texas is going to be getting their title shot soon and Hollywood Sex is going after the Bumfholes (the jokes write themselves there). Mystery Men are nowhere near a place to make a big impact and will likely be putting over the Blondes going forward and hopefully building pop in angles with them.</p><p> </p><p> Supremacy (Robbie Retro/Eric Eisen/Squeeky McClean) vs. Indy Scum (Remmy Skye/Frankie Perez/Sonny Wildside)</p><p> </p><p> Supremacy is going to go over these new signees. Skye got busted for soft drugs again and got his suspension. He's going to put people over until his next offense and then he's going to rehab. Perez and Wildside will probably find themselves working in developmental after this until there's something for them to do. I don't even know why I signed Wildside to be honest...</p><p> </p><p> Valiant vs. Vengeance</p><p> </p><p> Valiant found himself on a losing streak where he couldn't seem to break through to finally get a title shot. Adding to that, Vengeance started taunting him and costing him matches but whenever Valiant would try to challenge Vengeance, there were more mind games. This feud is looking to keep going until the end of the year when Valiant finally gets the upper hand and then goes after the belt. It is insane that Valiant has never held the belt so I plan to have him finally go over at Supreme Challenge (I would've done it at the past SC but Remo got stolen by SOTBPW and I ended up having to put in Rogue as champ and didn't want to build Valiant up only to have him beat a short term champ at the biggest show, putting him over Khoklov at SC after a long reign should have the impact I want). </p><p> </p><p> Joey Morgan vs. Angry Gilmore</p><p> </p><p> Morgan lost the North American title in a fatal four way then lost his rematch in a triple threat match. Morgan was fed up with Gilmore putting his nose in the title matches and attacked him after the triple threat in one of the biggest heel turns of 2016. Gilmore and Morgan have been battling with Morgan getting the best of Gilmore at Supreme Challenge and winning the Jungle Rumble giving him a MITB style contract for a title match. Gilmore and Morgan will have the blowoff match inside the Control Cage (Hell in a Cell) at Under Control with Morgan going over once more. Morgan will be holding his contract for awhile and will likely end up losing when he does cash in either at Supreme Challenge in a Triple Threat or at Welcome to the Jungle after. I had big plans for Morgan when he won but now I think Khoklov is going to be my top heel for the near future.</p>

<p>SWF Save August 2016. I decided to write out the Jungle Rumble match to figure out what I was going to do in it. Jungle Rumble is a Royal Rumble style match.</p><p> The winner of the Jungle Rumble wins a contract that allows them to challenge the SWF World Heavyweight Championship to a title match any time before the next Supreme Challenge. The challenger must give at least a 24-hour advance notice of his intentions of challenging for the title.</p><p> </p><p> 1. Valiant</p><p> 2. Squeeky McClean</p><p> </p><p> Valiant has been on a losing streak that has continued when he lost to The Crippler in a 1 vs. 30 match to determine the first and last entrant in the Jungle Rumble. Valiant’s pre match interview showed his usual confidence in the face of the adversity. Squeeky McClean got the unlucky draw of number two in the Jungle Rumble. The two faced off for the first two minutes without either coming close to eliminating the other.</p><p> </p><p> 3. Eric Eisen</p><p> </p><p> Eric Eisen has teamed up with Squeeky McClean as part of the Supremacy, a group focused on making SWF great again. Eisen hits the ring and the double team against Valiant is on. Valiant starts to make a comeback but as the countdown for the next participant hits zero, the Eisen and McClean are dangerously close to pushing Valiant over the top.</p><p> </p><p> 4. Mikey Lau</p><p> </p><p> Lau and McClean have been battled for over six months now and while it looked like Lau had closed the door on the feud with a victory at Supreme Challenge, that didn’t stop Lau from going immediately after McClean to break up the elimination attempt of Valiant. After taking McClean to the opposite corner, Valiant manages to get the upper hand on Eisen and eliminate him.</p><p> </p><p> Eric Eisen eliminated by Valiant </p><p> </p><p> After eliminating Eisen, Valiant took a breather in the corner as McClean and Lau continued to brawl in the opposite corner during the countdown.</p><p> </p><p> 5. Spencer Spade</p><p> </p><p> Spade enters and goes immediately after Valiant resting in the corner. The fresh Spade easily gets the upper hand and has Valiant down in the corner taking stomps. Spade leaves the corner and turns around into a super kick from Lau who has McClean down in the opposite corner. As the countdown begins, Lau is the only one up as everyone is laid out.</p><p> </p><p> 6. Robbie Retro</p><p> </p><p> The third member of Supremacy hits the ring… and is almost immediately thrown over the top by Mikey Lau</p><p> </p><p> Robbie Retro eliminated by Mikey Lau </p><p> </p><p> As Lau and Retro were yelling at each other, McClean got to his feet and tossed Lau over the top from the behind</p><p> </p><p> Mikey Lau eliminated by Squeeky McClean</p><p> </p><p> McClean turned back towards Valiant and starts to attack him in the corner. Spade gets back to his feet and pulls McClean out of the way to get some stomps in on Valiant. Spade and McClean start to get into a pushing match over who gets to attack Valiant allowing Valiant to get to his feet and start to attack both men. Valiant has the upper hand as the countdown begins.</p><p> </p><p> 7. Ekuma</p><p> </p><p> The rookie Ekuma debuted at the Supreme TV after Supreme Challenge and hit the ring immediately going after Valiant and knocking him down in the center of the ring. Ekuma and Valiant continued to brawl when suddenly Vengeance’s music hits. There’s still plenty of time before the next entrant but Vengeance was making his way down to the ring. Valiant notices after a takedown on Ekuma and begins yelling for Vengeance to come get some. As Valiant is distracted, Spencer Spade makes his way to his feet and tosses Valiant over the top rope and eliminates him.</p><p> </p><p> Valiant eliminated by Spencer Spade</p><p> </p><p> As Valiant hits the floor, Vengeance stands over him and begins to laugh. Valiant makes his way to his feet and the brawl between Vengeance and Valiant starts to spill into the crowd. The competitors in the ring continue the match as the countdown starts but the focus is definitely on the brawl in the crowd.</p><p> </p><p> 8. Huey Cannonball</p><p> </p><p> Cannonball makes his way to the ring but the Vengeance and Valiant brawl has made its way towards a production area. Vengeance gets a hold of Valiant’s throat and teases a choke slam through a production table but Valiant reverses it and puts Vengeance through the table with a snap DDT. Valiant stands over Vengeance and gets a huge pop from the crowd. As the camera goes back to the ring, Cannonball and Ekuma are being beatdown by McClean and Spade respectively when the countdown for the next entrant starts.</p><p> </p><p> 9. Hailama Hua (High Flyin Hawaiian)</p><p> Hua debuted as a lackey for Spencer Spade’s Double Trouble stable and comes down to the ring and immediately helps Spade beatdown on Ekuma. The heels (Spade, McClean and Hua) keep the faces (Cannonball, Ekuma) down for the two minutes as the next entrant makes his way to the ring.</p><p> </p><p> 10. Marat Khoklov</p><p> The monster Marat Khoklov comes to the ring and attacks anyone that moves. Hailama Hua is the last one standing and is easily tossed out of the ring by Khoklov</p><p> </p><p> Hailama Hua eliminated by Marat Khoklov</p><p> </p><p> Ekuma is the next competitor to get to his feet but quickly regrets it as Khoklov grabs him around the neck for a two handed choke slam. Khoklov then picks Ekuma up and throws him over the top</p><p> </p><p> Ekuma eliminated by Marat Khoklov</p><p> </p><p> McClean and Spade gather themselves and try to team up on Khoklov but Khoklov shrugs them off and has McClean against the ropes as the countdown for the next entrant expires</p><p> </p><p> 11. Jefferson Stardust</p><p> </p><p> The other half of the Awesomeness makes his way to the ring. Stardust and Cannonball mutually agreed to start pursuing individual goals but Stardust goes immediately to help Cannonball up and encouraging him to help him go after Khoklov. As they’re preparing, Khoklov finishes off McClean and dumps him over the top rope</p><p> </p><p> Squeeky McClean eliminated by Marat Khoklov</p><p> </p><p> Khoklov turns around and Cannonball and Stardust go on the attack. Spade stumbles to his feet and gets a few shots in but it’s clear that Khoklov is just shrugging the attack off. Khoklov quickly gets the three off of him and begins to go after Stardust when everyone else is down. He gets Stardust into the corner as the buzzer goes off for the next entrant</p><p> </p><p> 12. Matty Faith</p><p> </p><p> The RIPW Champion Matty Faith makes his entrance and gets a huge pop from the Christian Faith loyalists in the crowd. Faith slowly walks down to the ring as Marat Khoklov starts laughing and waiting for Faith to make his way to the ring. Faith slowly gets up the steps and is very tentative about coming through the ropes. Khoklov continues laughing and telling Faith to bring it. As Faith is about to come through the ropes the Awesomeness gets back to their feet and makes another run at Khoklov. Faith finally comes through the ropes and tries to get a few shots in but is intercepted by Spencer Spade who drags him into the corner. Khoklov brushes off the Awesomeness again and starts towards the corner to get his hands on Matty Faith</p><p> </p><p> 13. Jack Bruce</p><p> Jack Bruce sprints down to the ring and goes after Khoklov immediately. Bruce pulls Khoklov off Faith and starts to hit him from behind. Khoklov gains his senses and pushes Bruce into the corner then turns around into an Awesomeness super kick that leaves him staggering. Bruce finally gets Khoklov down to the ground with a DDT. The Awesomeness turns their attention to Spade and start the double team on him in the corner and everyone except Bruce ends up laid out. Bruce goes over to the corner and helps Matty Faith to his feet to a big pop. The camera zooms in on Bruce and Faith as they stare each other down. Bruce and Faith both begin to grin but Khoklov and Spade get back to their feet and go after Faith and Bruce from behind. As the countdown starts, Khoklov tosses Faith out of the ring and then heads to the corner for some rest.</p><p> </p><p> Matty Faith eliminated by Marat Khoklov</p><p> </p><p> 14. Bryan Holmes</p><p> </p><p> As Holmes made his way to the ring, The Awesomeness and Khoklov are all in their own corners while Bruce is beating on Spade in the final corner. Holmes heads to Cannonball’s corner and picks him up and starts getting shots in to the midsection. Holmes tosses Cannonball into the ropes but Stardust gets to his feet and dropkicks Holmes as Cannonball holds onto the ropes. Stardust grabs Holmes and throws him towards the ropes and Cannonball pulls the top rope down to send Holmes crashing to the floor</p><p> </p><p> Bryan Holmes eliminated by Huey Cannonball</p><p> </p><p> As Cannonball watches Holmes go to the floor, Stardust gets to his feet and flips Cannonball over the top rope and onto the floor</p><p> </p><p> Huey Cannonball eliminated by Jefferson Stardust</p><p> </p><p> Cannonball hits the floor and looks up to Stardust who has a grin on his face and shrugs. Cannonball is beside himself as he begins screaming at Stardust from the floor. While distracted, Khoklov goes over to Stardust and lifts him high above his head and tosses him over the top rope into Cannonball</p><p> </p><p> Jefferson Stardust eliminated by Marat Khoklov</p><p> </p><p> Stardust and Cannonball both stumble to their feet and begin to argue on the floor and it turns into a shoving match. The referees separate them as the countdown begins again.</p><p> </p><p> 15. Jungle Lord</p><p> </p><p> Jungle Lord comes out and he’s got his “personal reporter” Haley Buck with him. He stops on the stage and forces Buck to begin an interview. Spade, Marat and Bruce are grappling in the ring as Jungle Lord tells everyone that there’s no way that the Lord of the Jungle could lose in the Jungle Rumble. As Lord continues on and pressures Buck into interviewing him better she beings to stumble over her words making Lord increasingly angry. As the countdown begins, Lord is getting in Buck’s face and screaming at her.</p><p> </p><p> 16. Dazzling Dave Diamond</p><p> </p><p> Diamond’s music hits and he rushes at Jungle Lord and starts attacking him down the ramp to the ring. Lord stumbles down the ramp and holds himself up against the ring and Diamond unloads on him from behind. Diamond finally tosses Jungle Lord into the ring and as Lord gets up to run from Diamond he runs into a clothesline from Jack Bruce. Diamond pushes Bruce away and gets on top of Lord and starts punching him in the face. Diamond gets off of Lord and starts to grandstand to the crowd but runs into a huge chop by Khoklov. Khoklov brings Diamond to the corner but Bruce goes on the attack and Diamond and Bruce start to get the upper hand on Khoklov in the corner. Spade comes in and instead of attacking Bruce, starts helping with Khoklov. The three get Khoklov tied up on the ropes further from the entrance when the countdown ends</p><p> </p><p> 17. Bear Bekowski</p><p> </p><p> Another one of Spade’s Double Trouble members, Bekowski rumbles down to the ring and shoves everyone off of Khoklov. After a short staredown, Bear attacks Khoklov and attempts to put him over the top himself. Khoklov gets shots in on the upper back and turns it around, getting Bekowski against the ropes and pushing him over</p><p> </p><p> Bear Bekowski eliminated by Marat Khoklov</p><p> </p><p> As Khoklov gets Bekowski over the ropes, the rest of the participants rush in and attempt to toss Khoklov over the top. Khoklov fights off Spade and Diamond but Jungle Lord and Jack Bruce finally manage to get him over the top rope after a little bit of time</p><p> </p><p> Marat Khoklov eliminated by Jungle Lord and Jack Bruce</p><p> </p><p> Lord and Bruce go back to Diamond and Spade respectively and the countdown brings the next competitor</p><p> </p><p> 18. Marshall Dillon</p><p> </p><p> The big Texan Marshall Dillon rumbles down to the ring and goes after Jack Bruce, knocking him aside.

I wanted to do some kind of a highlight package with quick highlights of the previous weeks show, but I didn't see anything like that in angle lists. I thought about creating it in the angle writer, but not sure how that would work. Aside from that, and the pre match interviews, an occasional pre match special entrance, post match handshake, little stuff like that, what other special angles could I include to fill time? Most of the angles are based around storylines it seems, so I am looking for any ideas. Thanks.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> For video packages, you could just create a few with different numbers or workers or use the freestyle angle every time and name it "Video Recap featuring ___". Rate them on overness.</p><p> </p><p> Honestly, I use the freestyle angle option pretty much exclusively and it's probably what you would use. It seems like a lot of your angles are going to be based on overness since they won't be too storyline driven so you can just put the workers you want in, choose overness and then title it whatever (Handshake between X and X after match, Big entrance for match between X and X) instead of creating an angle for each one.</p>

<p>The World Is Watching 2016 is about to happen and on the same day right before the event, I lose a bidding war for Remo to SOTBPW. I had Remo and face Rogue doing a filler feud while Valiant gained the #1 contender's spot to go over Remo at Supreme Challenge. This is one of those times I wish I could actually talk to the worker because the long term plan was to have Remo go over Jack Bruce clean in his next long feud and I feel like that would've been enough to keep him.</p><p> </p><p> So now my World Title picture is a mess. I'm about to put the belt on a transitional face champion and both my other main event heels (Crippler and Marat Khoklov) are locked into the Jack Bruce story that is the only one I have planned further than this year's Supreme Challenge. I don't want to add the title to that story because getting it off Bruce would be far too much of a pain. I have a contract offer out for Rich Money (Which doesn't make since according to his bio but whatever) and might slot him in a feud leading up to SC.</p><p> </p><p> So anyone got any ideas? Valiant/Rogue is a feud that sounds like its been done but maybe having it over the world title is a new wrinkle. Rogue turned face fairly recently so the turn back might not go well.</p>

Is there a way to sign guys for a one of Royal Rumble type appearance? Or to get a retired wrestler to appear in the match?

<p>I just finished Awesome Impact with Bruce/DeBones vs. Crippler/Khoklov to "guarantee" Bruce gets Crippler one on one at The World Is Watching. DeBones is going to turn back into Vengeance during a beatdown on Jack Bruce before the match and set up a 1 vs. 3 at Master of Puppets (I'm planning on having Vengeance retire right before Supreme Challenge in a career vs. career match with Bruce)</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, since I got a little off track. I'm wondering if anyone has tips about how to book the 1 vs. 3. My plan for the match flow is</p><p> </p><p> Beatdown of Bruce.</p><p> Bruce starts to get on a roll and clears out everyone</p><p> Bruce and Crippler face off in the ring before Khoklov and Vengeance start to beat down Bruce and the ref calls for the bell as he loses control</p><p> </p><p> Keeping Bruce strong doesn't make sense but making the three "dominate" doesn't either. What kind of road agent notes should I be going for other than DQ Finish?</p>

<p>Just finished SWF Nothing To Lose 2016, most of my key stories are booked up until Supreme Challenge.</p><p> </p><p> Spencer Spade just got called up and he will become Valiant's protege on screen. They're going to do a short program with The Platinum Blondes but the plan for Valiant is to have him headline with Remo at SC.</p><p> </p><p> Squeeky McClean and Robbie Retro are running a "Supremacy" stable with racist undertones. At Nothing To Lose they beatdown Mikey Lau and he'll be out for two months before making a big return. Lau and McClean will have a first round match in the Master of Puppets tournament where Des Davids will make his return. Lau and Davids will tag for a little while and Eric Eisen will join the Supremacy stable. Supreme Challenge will see Davids over Eisen and Lau over McClean.</p><p> </p><p> Joey Morgan has been dealing with Eric Eisen and Paul Huntingdon in his struggle for the NA Title. Eisen will leave the story when he joins Supremacy and Angry Gilmore will jump into the story for a Triple Threat that sees Huntingdon likely retain at SC.</p><p> </p><p> Skull DeBones saved Jack Bruce from a Crippler/Khoklov beatdown and they've been tagging against them in the "Jack Is Back" story. At Awesome Impact, they'll win and set up Bruce vs. Crippler. Bruce and Crippler will be interrupted by a Khoklov interference and DeBones will clear the ring before turning on Bruce and going back to Vengeance. Bruce vs. Vengance in a career vs. career match will headline Times of Trouble and then Vengance's contract expires shortly after that so I think I'm letting him go. Bruce vs. Crippler will finally conclude at Under Control inside a cell.</p><p> </p><p> Rogue made a face turn in the World Title story and set up a Triple Threat Match for Awesome Impact, Remo will pin Gilmore and take him out of the story. Rogue and Remo will have a few matches up until Supreme Challenge when Valiant will win the #1 Contender slot for SC.</p><p> </p><p> With most of the stories ending at Supreme Challenge, The Welcome To The Jungle battle royal will probably start a lot of new rivalries.</p>

Good tips but I would give one tweak. Not having an announcer doesn't affect your shows until you have television so I'd get an owner that can be a ref as they can be your most expensive roster member at the beginning. Your other wrestlers can be road agents to because all you need is F+ shows at the beginning.

Will continually borrowing from development stop a guy from complaining about being stuck in developmental? Right now, Spencer Spade is the RIPW champion and I don't really have a plan for him so I'd like to keep him there until the AI takes the title off him but he just started complaining about it.

<p>So while I was signing up managers for my "Master of Puppets" Tournament (#1 Contender's Tournament where managers represent all clients to get them a spot in the tournament, winner goes to Supreme Challenge Main Event) I found a couple interesting stories to start.</p><p> </p><p> I picked up Haley Buck and have her using her Journalist gimmick to report on the Hero Squad. As she's covering them she finds out that Captain Atomic has some evil intentions for ending the group. Jungle Lord doesn't believe her and Buck struggles to come up with any proof. At Master of Puppets, Buck picks Jungle Lord as her tournament representative which infuriates Atomic. Atomic ends up costing Jungle Lord his first round setting up a heel turn and a breakup.</p><p> </p><p> Also signed Nicole Kiss and have her and Steven Parker reconnect without officially getting back together. When Master of Puppets gets near, Kiss picks someone other than Parker (right now Joey Morgan or Jimmy Hernandez are the top picks) and Parker gets jealous. He and Kiss start arguing and then eventually Parker threatens her and Hernandez/Morgan makes the save while Parker turns heel.</p>

I took a page from recent WWE booking of Undertaker for DeBones, lots of Remo standing around screaming at DeBones, the occasional flickering lights, eerie music and spooky effects, and once or twice a mysterious "Lights go out then on again and we see Remo down and out" angle. Obviously, you can only do that for so long, maybe two PPVs, but I'm trying to decide who I want to send at Remo next. My plan is for him to be a dominant, Brock Lesnar-esque champion so he won't be dropping the belt any time soon. That leaves out Valiant, who won't be pushed for the title until he's a bit more seasoned.</p><p> </p><p> The Eric Eisen "Make SWF Great Again" storyline is going like gangbusters. He does a Donald Trump routine while Bear Bekowski and the Pain Alliance stand around looking menacing. Occasionally, he attacks a face and claims that face was keeping SWF from being great again. After a few weeks of this, including a high-profile PPV interference of a Valiant-Brandon James match, I had on-screen authority Jerry Eisen confront Eric. He can't suspend his brother, but he can suspend his thugs, so he does. The plan is for Jerry to be "mysteriously attacked," leading to him and Richard Eisen taking an on-screen hiatus. Richard will cut an emotional promo, saying he's leaving to help Jerry on the road to recovery but thank God there's another able-bodied Eisen in SWF to run things while he's away. Eric Eisen will then transition into an abusive authority figure role, which will keep him FAR away from the belt while still giving him the screen time his name (and promo ability) requires.</p><p> </p><p> After 10 years of tagging, I've decided it's time for the Bumfholes to split up. Randy, the younger Bumfhole, grows resentful of living in his big brother's shadow. After all, Zimmy has a singles title to his name while Randy does not. When Randy's solo outings cost the tag team some title opportunities, and leaves him conveniently tied up when Zimmy is getting double-teamed by rival tag team The Awesomeness, tension boils to a head between the Bumfholes. My plan is to split them and push them both, ala The Shield. The question is, should they immediately feud with one another or should I keep them as far away from each other as possible until a Supreme Challenge program opens up?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Love the Eric Eisen storyline. I have him doing a similar thing but I'm setting up for him to put over Des Davids at The Supreme Challenge and keeping him in the stable after that to put over the developmental guys as they come in. </p><p> </p><p> I feel like I'm the only one who's not breaking up the Bumfholes. They're just putting on matches with my lower level heel teams to get them ready to face the Awesomeness for the belts...</p>
