Better known as Mr. Supreme or Mr. Hollywood. Terrific performer, raging alcoholic, 100% pain the ass. Although after his second trip to rehab, I haven't had another drunk incident. So maybe that's a thing now, who knows. He's in the 97 database and one of the top tier workers SWF has. Probably 4th behind Keith, McFly and Faith. Maybe Cornell but I think Supreme is slightly better at the very beginning.</p>

I feel like Tex needs a toothpick.

Anyways, I would go with A. You can add many more layers to the character with a redemption storyline and play up that Hike is her only kryptonite. Give the other gals a shot at the title and have her take on the other women for fresh match ups and to build her back up.</p>

I've got Razan bulking now. I signed a couple guys including Tanyu. Roster is good at the moment. I'll shortlist those guys and nag then when BCG offer them an extension.

I'm 2 months in and hit cult early. I've got Okamoto as well and slowly pushing him. I say slowly but he's gained so,where around 10 pop already. I'm also putting him in angles with Kudo and recently acquired Ryu Kajahara to work on charisma to make him a top notch figurehead. Speaking of which, is he your figurehead and if so when did you make that change?</p>

Has Kikkawa gotten any love this year or in 2013?

I just started a new save in Japan. We're touring all but 3 months with 3 shows per week plus a special event the last day of the month. I was using the light rules with fog of war off and numbered grades. Want to see how I do with the harder version in a country with a lot of good promotions.

I can tell you auto booker is amazing early on when doing so many shows.

Well your early shows are going to gain you pop no matter what. You get like 3 other workers that cost about 200. Get you the cheapest ref you can. My owner was a road agent that worked for free. Otherwise, one of the wrestlers will be the road agent. You can dgrownvery quickly just by doing that on weekly shows to the point where you turn a very small profit pretty quick. Then when you start making a couple grand a month, hire slightly better workers. Rinse and repeat. Gotta run weekly or twice a week though if you want to grow pop really quick. Using the super cheap workers you really don't lose much money at all so when you start turning the small profits you'll be outta debt really quick.

If you don't mind going a little unrealistic, I did weekly shows and was comfortably in the black with equal production values as rival promotions and some solid guys at the top of the card inside a year. There was a point I even did 8 shows a month.

Shame I let Hubtress' contract expire and released Raku. These are fantastic!

How did BHOTWG screw themselves that badly in your game? Sounds like you're about to strike pay dirt honestly.</div></blockquote><p> I'm not really sure. I remember looking at their roster after they took like 4 guys from me and counted 90+ workers and was thinking to myself I'm going to own this promotion in a few months because there's no way they could afford all of those guys. They had super over guys on huge deals. Sam Keith was there even and he got cut. Dread as well. They kept their Japanese main eventers which is great so that if and when I buy them out I can raid them. They haven't really gone on a hiring spree since that and it's been a few months so I'm clueless as to why they signed so much talent in the first place.</p>

What does it mean when a company is in debt and when you go to buy them out it says the company is not interested in selling up? I even ran a test where I moved all their pop to 0 and I got the same message, so I don't think it's a size thing.

<p>So after having nearly almost 100 workers and stealing a lot of my roster, BHOTWG released 50 workers in the first day of December, and are currently in debt. Among those released were WCW alums Duane Stone & Joel Kovach, so they have since returned home. Also picked up Koshiro Ino and Craig Prince off of them. The rest were guys I wasn't interested in or were not active in my area. I tried to buy them out but it said they weren't interested in selling up. Not quite sure what that means.</p><p> </p><p> Also, PGHW is in debt as well, but they are not in bad enough financial situation to sell. They've been in debt for a few months. Hopefully I can buy them out soon.</p>

<p>I seriously forgot how exciting it was to steal a great talent from a rival promotion when you're Cult and below them in the promotion rankings. Presenting to you the newest member of my RTG promotion...</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/7Tw0aq9.png</span><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/FFZx2Zz.png</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> I'm finding it's possible to take main eventers, but I'm really hoping it doens't come back to bite me down the road with these creative control contracts. Him vs Mr. (insert promotion he works for here) would be money to match ratings if they'll lose to one another. And if Mr. World Class can put down the booze.</p><p> </p><p> Really excited to have my user to work with McFly, too.</p>

I've got 6 matches out of him in 5 and a half months. He's on his second rehab trip now. If nothing else, I took a star from HGC.

Yes. My rtg character went up to muscular. Idk if it matters, but I was working a ton of matches. Sometimes 2 a card doing like 8 shows a month at the time.

How many trips to rehab does it take to get over an alcohol addiction? Is there a general rule like every trip lowers the issue by say 5% and at the end it goes to reformed?

So I signed Robert Oxford to a PPA deal to see if he was in time decline (41 years old,) and not only was he not in time decline, he also took Scout under his wing as a protege. Then just now, he took Guide under his wing. I love this guy! The New Wave is gonna be even better workers in a years time.

That would be awesome. I've grown very attached to these 4 ladies in my RTG save <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

<p>So since I've finally made Cult I can, of course, offer written contracts. I've already missed out on a few guys, as is usually the case when you play as the booker. I offered Super Joshuya of Burning Hammer fame a deal, and after offering the whole nine, it was an offer he'd consider. Unfortunately, he chose to remain with Burning Hammer. However! On the same day, another gentleman accepted my contract offer. So I present to you, the newest member of World Class Wrestling...</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/irNTYvS.png</span><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/0IbR00e.png</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> MR SUPREME/MR HOLLYWOOD/MR GOLDEN/MR NORTH/MR WORLD CLASS!</p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> Obviously, I had to offer a ridiculous contract. The way I look at it, he's never going to want to lose to anybody on my roster (his pop is 82 across US & Canada) for a number of years, likely until I get a TV deal that covers all of America, as well as a PPV deal to allow me to build up stars. So that's why I did creative control. Hiring Veto I've never had to come back and bite me. If he gets any negative relationships, I'll meddle like crazy to get them back to normal. Lastly the wage matching, I seriously doubt I'll have a realistic opportunity to get another star of his overness, so I seriously doubt that'll ever kick up his salary a massive amount. </p><p> </p><p> My only concern is I'll have to send him to rehab for his alcohol addiction. He's got the note that he's known to have use alcohol. I'd really rather not pay that contract while he's away at this stage in the game.</p>
