I'll start from the beginning! We've pried away a few talents from The Big 3 American promotions. First, Casey Valentine from USPW in February. Floyd Goldworthy from TCW in March. Devious Doctor Fang from EILL in March. Angry Gilmore from SWF in April, although he was non-tendered and is in time decline, so I've signed him to a 1 year deal to put younger talent over. Edd Stone from TCW in June which is now a lot bigger deal than it was then. Followed by Matt Hocking less than a week later, also from TCW. D.C. Rayne in July, signed with a hope Eddie Howard would eventually join him, more on that later. Dominic DeSousa from SWF, which I'm quite disappointed in a couple weeks in. MAGNUM KOBE from PGHW, which I'm thrilled about as I love him. Hollywood Bret Starr, but he's sadly recovering from a broken freakin' neck, so he'll be out 8 more months. Couldn't pass on Bret, he'll likely team with CV when he returns. Sadly I missed out on Cameron Vessey and Jay Chord is putting on 5 star matches in back to back PPVs for TCW, so The Succession will likely be reincarnated, but with different 2nd generation stars. Eddie Howard came up 3 weeks after I signed Rayne, and I had to pay a lot to get him, mostly with the bonus money and years, but I was able to snag him. Natural Storm just won the tag belts in their first match together in RW. And for the grand finale, MYSTIC effing Dragon is leaving Burning Hammer for America, and he's joining me!</p><p> </p><p> I would definitely say Silver Tongue is no longer worthless. Once you hit medium, I have yet to fail in convincing international talent to become active in America when their contract is up.</p><p> </p><p> Fro Sure is established as figure head. I had him go over the couple guys that were giving him dings prior to geting established, so attendance is up 4% and merchandise is up 10% when he appears.</p><p> </p><p> Now for the major news. With the acquisition of CWA, I took everything but their talents under the hope I could sign them as free agents to new deals, better structured for me, as almost every contract they had included 20% per event bonuses while also having large guarantees. Since they didn't have an American television deal, most of their roster is useless initially in USA. But nobody else bid on them. So I got everyone I was remotely interested in. </p><p> </p><p> Now I'm facing the major roster bloat problem, but I've got a plan to attack it. I tried signing The Ring Generals, and lost both of them. I released my broadcasting team as they were replaced with CWA's broadcasting team. Floyd Goldworthy was released, Jay Fair was released. In terms of in ring talent, I cut Bryan Vessey, Remmy Skye, Nigel Svensson and Findlay O'Farraday. I'll likely be releasing Angry Gilmore, as he's 24th in merchandising sales despite being the highest paid member of my roster (63.4k) by 20% over Casey Valentine, who's making 50k. Past that, I'd like to get out of this debt and work on opening a Performance Center/dev company to send my young talent down that can't call in the ring. Giant Brody is my last PPA deal, but he's turned into a damn good worker, and I'd like to keep him. Good workers at his size are unicorns - they don't exist. I have 11 tag teams, and 10 women. I signed 24 talents formerly from CWA. Amber Allen, Brooke Tyler got 10 years. Aaron Knight, David Stone, Princeton Pryce, Robby Griffin and Sonny Wildside got 10 year deals from the men's side. Adrian Garcia and Tom Townsend got 10 year deals from the out of ring side of things. 34 year old Lauren Easter was Becky Lynch'n and won't be back for a few months, but I love her and signed her to a 9 year deal. My biggest issue is road agents. I have 9 road agents. Acid, Angry Gilmore, Buddy Garner (Owner), Jack Bruce and Johnny Bloodstone are all on Written PPA's, with all but Bruce doubling as occasional wrestlers. Duane Stone, Jack DeColt, Jeremy Stone and Steve DeColt are all on writtens, so between them and Buddy, I have 5 that are staying for sure. Bloodstone is gonna job to the lower CWA talent to get their pop around 25-30 without complaints before I release him. Bruce is going nowhere, as I'm making over 100k profit off his merch. Acid I'd like to keep because Acid II is his protege and Acid II is one of my top guys. So realistically, Gilmore and Bloodstone can go, but I'm stuck with the rest. </p><p> </p><p> I'm at a fever pitch for this save right now. I lost out of Duane Fry, and 2 of USPW Colour Commentators, although Garcia and Townsend make the CC's irrelevant now. Also lost Wolfsbaine to USPW 4 days before I was gonna be able to re-engage contract talks. I feel like my roster is so nice now. I'm likely going to change my company name to CWA, Carnage Wrestling Association. I'll keep CWA's title renders and probably make new belts so I can have a fresh title history. Just so much moving around my head now. I'm more popular in every region of Canada than I am in my home region. Debating if it would be worth it to move to Canada, although I think I'll make more money in the long haul by being a 4 major American promotion.</p>

The Owner Goals this year from what I've seen are a lot better. No Psychopaths, no one over 35, no one with less than 60 respect. All seems pretty simple to follow. The hardest part is not being able to compete for top talent. I'm genuinely scared for my main event scene when all my guys come due in a couple years.

Jay Chord vs Doc Hammond rematch a month later scored a 100 as well. Back to back classics for TCW! All in all, feels like a lot less 5 star matches. NOTBPW and PGHW studs all getting old and decrepit will make that happen though, I suppose. SOTBPW losing Marquez and their main event scene aging and additional 4 years with the likes of El Leon and The Ironman, Axxis doesn't help things either. Although El Leon is on pace for Wrestler of the Year in 2021 in my RTG, he's not with SWF, so that's interesting.

If you're just playing to essentially fantasy book, go as the owner. Being the booker brings with it a whole new set of challenges. You'll have to deal with owner goals while could be financial stuff or limits on who you can hire/extend based off skill or attributes. You also have limits on contract offers, so you'll find yourself unable to simply outbid every other promotion for a talent. You have to give perks, bonuses etc and even then a lot of times for the top tier guys it leaves it up to chance as they'll consider your offer along with others. All things considered, as much as I love Road to Glory games, I much prefer being the owner when I'm playing an RtG game.

I've been running Lucharesu with my RtG promotion and it's really nice. Events are 90% matches so I don't have to run any angles. I believe television is 70% or 80% which is perfect for me. Style is easy on workers, mask v mask matches give heat to a segment. Workers rated on ring performance over pop. It's really nice as a Booker instead of owner. As an owner in a normal game, I prefer sports entertainment. It's what I grew up with and ultimately the fun part for me of a booking simulator is the booking part. I can get my stories out in a way that they would ne in reality

Got a match to add to this list. The main event of Total Mayhem in 2021, Jay Chord vs either Guide or Scout's new persona got a 100.

YEAR 2 We Are The Moment - Work for a Medium company 34. “So, Tell Me About Your Mother…” You have devoted your holiday season to training in the ring +5 to your Psychology skill Psychology: 70 --> 75 Once we hit medium, I went on another signing spree. Bryan Vessey, Angry Gilmore are both signed. Vessey came out of retirement. Also was finally able to convince Buddy Garner to come out of retirement! May of 2021, finally stole a worker (Edd Stone, from TCW) and it's nice to finally have a solid worker with popularity not in time decline! I got Matt Hocking immediately after as well! Koshiro Ino came up and I was able to convince him to come to America and had an offer to take him from BHOTWG but at his high age, I decided against trying to beat their 2nd bid. We're in June 1st and I just made my first million dollar profit month. Pulling in just shy of 600k in merchandising revenue, with Jack Bruce being the highest at 171k with 120k of that being profit for us. For comparison sake, he's on an exclusive written PPA as a Road Agent/Manager making 4k per show (20k a month) so we're getting 100k just for having him on the roster. I've got 47 active workers on my roster, so I'm gonna begin trimming some fat pretty soon. Pretty much everybody that's Unrecognizable or Unimportant except for Giant Brody and Buddy Garner are some form of cold, mostly really cold. I'd like to get down to 30 to 36 guys. As it currently stands, I'm booking a lot of multiman tag matches just to get everyone on the card. Once I get a TV deal I plan to transition this thing more towards a dynasty type playthrough. I'm also gonna reset my titles since their prestige is so low, presumably due to being created when I was insignificant.

Basics, safety, psychology, technical/aerial. Anything that makes me believe they're a good in ring worker. Past that, the look of the render and bio. If something inspires me to make a story for a particular character, then I'll pick them up, regardless of skill. If they suck, ill keep the story out of the main event. The only match I care about is my main event since I usually run ME Spotlight. The rest I look for stuff I can get invested in.

I personally hate the idea of them. I much prefer matches be in the ring. The whole cinematic thing makes me feel like I'm watching a bad movie fight scene. That being said, I think for the spookier characters like an Undertaker, it's actually pretty cool. The characters have unrealistic elements that we all believe in because the character work is so done so well and it's established. In term's of C-Verse, Scythe is tailor made for a graveyard match. I could see Vengeance/Skull DeBones having a scrapyard match with tons of destroyed cars around. I picture Vengeance as carrying a biker chain as his weapon of choice, and swinging the hell out of that thing and shattering a car window while his opponent narrowly escapes could be pretty sweet. I could see Atom Smasher in a superhero type world. Would probably cost more money than it would be worth. I would hate it, but if you're running PG Sports Entertainment, it would work. Perhaps against Xtinction? Okay, I might like that... Rick Law in a prison type area. That's all I can really think of for top tier guys. I wouldn't do a cinematic match for non top guys.

Almost 16 months in... Edward Cornell def. Tommy Cornell (21CW Best of British Wrestling, Feb 20) 4 other matches in 21CW rated 99 BHOTWG has 0 matches of 100 rating, but 3 with a 99 rating Gino Montero & Capitao Brasil Jr def. Soul Taker & El Leon (EILL Television, Dec 20) 4 other matches in EILL rated 99 SWF has 0 matches of 100 rating, and only 1 match with a 99 rating TCW has 0 matches of 100 rating, but 4 matches with a 99 rating So in 16 months, there's been exactly 2 matches with a 100 rating. A handful of 99's and 98's. Mostly from 21CW, BHOTWG, TCW and EILL. USPW's best match in 16 months has been a 95. Looking at this, it would appear as if Entertainment companies have a better chance to get high ratings for matches. Tommy and Edward were 1 and 2, respectively. Both are excellent in ring, and superstars in their region. Meanwhile, BHOTWG and even PGHW I would expect to have high ratings. Pride was really disappointing while Burning Hammer's best matches were super juniors.

The beginning of the challenge has always been about building pop in your home region as fast possible. It allows you to make money off ticket sales which is where you start to get out of debt. The touring shows make it substantially easier this year because you max pop gains at around 24 pop for a show above your pop in that region AND your talent takes 25% of their salary AND they don't complain when left off shows. The sponsorship money isn't as big of a deal unless you're only running once a month. The free shows are important because they give you additional popularity as you generate good will with the fans. You're not gonna make money off the first few shows regardless, so why not make them free?

If I can take a rival company's figurehead, I will do it. Every. Single. Time. They take a huge hit financially, not that USPW will ever go out of business. They lose a guy that is strong in the ring. And he's super over. The only issue I could see is how you book your company now. You can't have either Golden or Nicky lose a ton, as their both figurehead level guys. But only 1 can be champ. Or you could always build up a mega heel and have him beat both in the same reign. It's a real Austin/Rock conundrum. Bloating is a constant issue. I'm over 40 now in RtG game. I can only imagine how bad it's gonna be when I'm playing as owner and the only thing preventing me from signing everybody is a desire to have them on my roster. It seems like a B Show would be a must have just to have all the non-stars get TV time without becoming disgruntled.

Say it louder for the people in the back. It's not just issues either. He's changed the create a broadcaster thing twice now in response to it being too cheap, then too expensive. Regardless of what Adam thinks is right, he listens to his customer base/fans of the game. If there's a majority that would like something changed, he'll often change it, and notate something along the lines of per user request to signify something he changed at the behest of those of us playing the game. Behest might be a bit strong, but I hope the point of the statement is not lost. You read the patch notes to see this is a factual statement. At the end of the day, the game isn't competitive in any aspect. How I play my game doesn't effect how you play your game. So if it's something that can be changed to help those who would like it changed, then it's a good discussion to have. As others have said, you don't have to use that particular feature should it be added into the game.

I'm unsure why that feature would be removed. You could still make dojos in 16, they just wouldn't produce new workers until the game allowed them to. That's unfortunate. EDIT: If you have specific workers set to debut from a particular dojo, does that take up part of the graduating class? Like say 4 people are supposed to graduate per year, The Bumfholes both graduate the same year, does this mean there's only 2 out of 4 slots that would be filled by random gens? If this is the case, we could have workers join the game world through a particular dojo that's not tied to the companies. It would ding immersion slightly as you'll have grads from schools that weren't ever students, but the help of keeping the real C-Verse characters in the game would help immersion more than them graduating from a dojo would hurt it. We'd need a different solution for Japanese games. Could dojos be set to open for a narrative?

You can't set up new workers to be turned off until certain year like past versions?

I love how every company takes talent now. In the past, SOTBPW and either SWF or USPW took all the talent. Just in the past couple months, SWF stole Frehley back and got El Leon. TCW stole Valiant. USPW stole others earlier in my save. I normally advance to next show so only see them when my shortlist stops the advance. It's nice though. All American companies 16 months in are still big. TCW has bounced between medium and big, but normally one would be perpetually medium and bleeding talent. I love this game.

It's an average of 22 pop across 18 different regions where I have WrestleWorld coverage. 393 pop if you add everything up. I've never understood exactly how subscription broadcaster revenue works, but I'm assuming it's based off of average pop across the regions. I feel like it's a specific dollar amount per viewer like it would be in reality, but I could be dead wrong.</p>

There's a match note for late addition that could be used to simulate a cash in. You could also book an angle with a title change.

I wonder if it's because y'all are running non North American regions. I can't see a problem arising as the game currently stands from running 4 to 5 shows a month in America. Between tickets, merch and broadcast revenue, you're rolling in dough before too long. As a side note, I decided against my restart. Mainly because I will absolutely be restarting when 97 is done and don't want to do so many restarts. I lost Kip Keenan to USPW. I'm slightly heartbroken at that. Didn't realize I hadn't locked him up. He's one of my best in ring performers. Still can't steal any workers. Lost out on David Stone, Huey Cannonball and Kirk Jameson. March 2021 saw me make a profit of 386k. That's with the majority of my roster on written deals. 407k expenses on talent. But ticket sales for 5 shows got me just south of 1 mil (943k) and merchandise brought me 223k. Broadcast was negligible at 56k. I cannot express enough how valuable constantly upgrading your merch is. You make so much money for basically free just by having guys on your roster that have some sort of popularity. Rogue was non-tendered by SWF. At 44 years old, and appearing to be in decline for a couple months, I'm debating signing him to PPA just to see what his merchandising potential is for me. He's wanting 70k+ a month on a written, and not being a stud in the ring, I'm gonna have to pass on that unless his merch sales warrant such a huge deal. Fro Sure will be locked in as figurehead in 4 months. Really excited to see what that does for our business. We'll be hitting Medium within a couple shows. Mid south is 1 popularity away from getting us there, Mid Atlantic 2 popularity. So it's a near lock we will end April at Medium. Our home region is 60 pop and we're pulling around 12k fans now per show at 60 pop with cheap tickets. Wrestling industry is 19 and falling, while economy is 30 and falling. I really hope as we hit medium, those 2 begin to rise. All my talent is under control that I care about, but I'm still curious if there's a massive rise in monthly expenses once I hit that "cult" size.

How do I assign someone a manager? I just signed Floyd Goldworthy and I don't see anywhere to assign him to manage someone or to assign a manager to an individual worker.

If you want to change it prior to your game start, there's an attribute that doesn't allows workers to come out of retirement to work a match. You could put that on whichever workers, like a Champagne Lover, or Jack Bruce or Christian Faith etc and change their status to retired. Then at some point, if you have a story you really feel would draw someone of their status out of retirement (or you just want to book them again) then you can remove the attribute and attempt to talk them out of retirement for 1 more run. This game is incredibly malleable. You can change damn near everything to make it work for you within your game.

As a side note, the broadcast revenue is small because your pop is essentially only in your home area. It grows quickly once the rest of the region catches up. Obviously Austrailia is smaller than the USA/Camada split for NA companies, but the revenue should still increase rather quickly.
