    <span class="showinfo">Is Your Body Ready? \\ Reseda, CA \\ 2013.06.15</span>

     

    <div class="resultbackground"><span class="show">

    1. Making their first appearance as a team in PWG, the Forever Hooligans would've preferred to leave with a victory against the Unbreakable F'N Machines, but the powerhouse duo of
    Brian Cage
    and
    Michael Elgin
    would prove to be too much for the New Japan junior heavyweights.
    Alex Koslov
    even received a warm welcome from the Reseda crowd as they chanted "RUSSIA" during his introduction alongside
    Rocky Romero
    . While the Hooligans were the more refined tag team, their speed and experience wouldn't be enough to overcome the Unbreakable F'N Machines as a brutal finishing sequence including multiple deadlift German suplexes and a wheelbarrow neckbreaker to Koslov set up Cage's Weapon X for the three count.

     

    2. The fans were treated to a technical masterpiece and hard-hitting affair as
    Kyle O'Reilly
    put
    Davey Richards
    away for a huge victory. Anyone who knows anything about wrestling knows just who O'Reilly and Richards are and what they're capable of. So it didn't come as a surprise as these two gave one another seemingly everything they had. At one point, Richards hit a diving double foot stomp that even convinced the timekeeper that O'Reilly was down for the count, but the young Canadian would kick out just before referee Rick Knox's hand hit the mat. A series of holds, counters, and pin attempts set up the end as Richards attempted a double leg only to eat an O'Reilly knee to the face to transition into a brainbuster to end this one.

     

    3. There's no underselling just how valuable the Pro Wrestling NOAH tours have been for
    Eddie Edwards
    and
    Roderick Strong
    as they put what they learned to good use. And unfortunately for the chest of
    Chuck Taylor
    , that meant a hell of a lot of chops as
    Johnny Gargano
    winced with every one delivered to Taylor. The old F.I.S.T. stablemates showed some great instinct and Gargano in particular really stood out, taking it to the DojoBros. But after a nasty brainbuster on the apron from Edwards to Gargano put the Cleveland native out of commission long enough for the DojoBros to gang up on Taylor and a combo of vicious strikes would be capped off with Strong's End of Heartache for the three count.

     

    4. Things wouldn't exactly slow down either before intermission as
    Drake Younger
    pulled off an upset victory over
    Kevin Steen
    , but thanks in large part to interference from PWG World Champion Adam Cole. The fan favorites put on a hell of a back-and-forth match before Steen inadvertently took out referee Rick Knox, allowing Cole to slide in and drill Steen with the PWG World Championship title. Cole looked to do the same to Younger, but Younger would duck the shot and drop Cole with a Drake's Landing. The win was right there for Younger, but Steen had just enough fight to kick out at two. We'd get a brief exchange between the two, Steen trying to hit his package piledriver and Drake going for another Drake's Landing, but ultimately Younger would use Steen's momentum against him for a backslide pin to secure the shocking win.

     

    5. Coming back from intermission, the heat in the American Legion Post was getting unbearable, but that didn't stop the Young Bucks or
    AR Fox
    and
    Samuray del Sol
    from putting on a show-stealing performance. While the belts weren't on the line, these four men didn't get the memo as they put on a classic. On commentary, Chuck Taylor was blown away at del Sol's speed and his ability to withstand a combined attack from
    Matt
    and
    Nick Jackson
    to send them to the outside for stereo dives from him and Fox. However, a star-making performance wasn't enough for del Sol and Fox as the Bucks would isolate the young luchador (thanks to some underhanded tactics) to hit More Bang For Your Buck.

     

    6. Finally in the main event,
    Adam Cole
    would retain the PWG World Championship in an absolute war against
    Sami Callihan
    . A series of back-to-back roll-ups would see Cole find himself up 2-0 against Callihan and the champion did his best to drain as much of the 60-minute time period as possible. But his lead wouldn't last long as Callihan's Stretch Muffler would make it 2-1 and Callihan's continued work to wear Cole down would even things up 2-2. Fast forward later in the match and a stiff lariat from Callihan would give him his first lead of the night, up 2-3. Around the 30-minute mark, Cole would tie things up 3-3 after a body slam on the ring apron allowed him to get Callihan with a bridging German suplex back inside the ring.

     

    Frustration took over for Cole and he was willing to get himself DQ'd as he aimed his world title at Callihan's head, but he'd duck underneath it like Younger did earlier in the night and attempted another massive lariat just for Cole to counter it into a brainbuster right on his knee to make it 4-3 in favor of the champ. Things would only get worse for Callihan as Cole was able to use the exhaustion of both men to his advantage with an inside cradle where Callihan didn't have the energy to kick out, making it 5-3. But you don't earn the nickname "The Callihan Death Machine" unless that is exactly who you are. Turning a Panama Sunrise into a back body drop, Callihan followed up with his 64 Lariat on Cole to make it 5-4 with just 10 minutes to go. Sweat pouring off of everyone in the building, Cole struggled to keep Callihan down for good and in the final minute of the match, Callihan would get Cole into his seated Stretch Muffler once more. Despite what you may think of Cole, the determination of the champion was on full display as he held on for a full minute as the crowd counted down to the final seconds of the match.

     

    An emotional ending to an incredible night as even Adam Cole found himself clapping along with the Reseda fans for Sami Callihan's final night in the American Legion Post for one last standing ovation. Cole would leave the ring and the friends of Callihan would fill into the ring as the fans slapped their hands on the mat, chanting "WE WILL MISS YOU". Kevin Steen wished him the best before handing the microphone over to Callihan, who kept it short, but sweet and thanked the crowd one more time as the show came to a close.

  3. Just rewatched "Is Your Body Ready" highlights on Youtube, interested to see a modified card as I counted two potential rebookings according to the direction you mentioned. Should be fun :)

     

    Glad to have you on! And outside of the opener (Just because I don't believe RockNES Monsters are in the database), this first card remains untouched just because I didn't think about the two (Assuming we're thinking about the same guys) until the next show and that's when I started to phase them out. In general, BOLA is around the time I start to move the pieces, hitting some of the same beats, but changing the players occasionally.

    I am absurdly pumped for this.

     

    Also I appreciate the shout out! I didn't know you were a reader there :D

     

    It was actually your new (and old) AEW dynasty paired with Cabana making all of his Art of Wrestling episodes free and listening to the Steen/Bucks/Excalibur episodes that gave me this itch. Happy to see you in here and hopefully I can match your excitement!

     

    Card will be the next post and we'll officially officially be underway.

  5. Thanks all for the comments so far! I will do my best to try and deliver some quality PWG for y'all.

    Best of luck on this project. 2013 was a year I went to a crap-ton of PWG shows — as I was living in LA at the time. I have some really fond memories of that period of time and this should be a lot of fun.

     

    Oh wow! I'm extremely jealous. I always planned on making a trip out for a BOLA weekend back in the American Legion Post days, but I was in college when I really got into PWG and naturally, all my classes started usually the week of BOLA or the week before unfortunately. By the time I graduated, they're in the Globe Theater, which seems like a better venue, but I would've loved to have experienced the Post despite the heat and lack of space.

     

    The little recap for the first 3 shows of 2013 and card for Is Your Body Ready? should be up shortly!

  6. Mission Statement(?)/Thanks

     

    Been a while since I've done one of these, but I've had an itch lately to write and haven't really been able to find myself invested in TEW 2020, but I knew I was eventually going to do an ROH or PWG dynasty again and right now, PWG in 2013 jumped out to me out of nowhere. And, I've found myself invested in the game, having booked the rest of 2013. So before we start our journey, I figured I'd jot some notes down here ahead of time.

     

    If you're familiar with PWG during this time period, don't be too surprised with how some of these matches and stories play out as I want to reach their natural conclusions vs. just starting fresh, but I intend on taking a slightly different path for each one, so it won't necessarily be a straight up 1:1 mirror to the real world.

     

    As we've learned a lot about certain wrestlers over the past year or so, there will be a couple roster omissions between now and however long this dynasty goes for and in the case of some still on the shows, they'll be slowly phased out. You'll probably have a decent guess as to who these wrestlers are. Personally, I just don't feel right including some of them, even at the cost of some "realism".

     

    And speaking of realism, occasionally I will tamper with the universe occasionally to fit certain narratives. Something like WWE/TNA releasing wrestlers similar to when they were cut in real life, I don't intend on taking advantage of it and won't always do it, but just want to help make the world feel a bit more lively if the timeline matches up. So maybe AJ Styles will leave TNA in 2014 and become a star in Japan. Maybe not. Maybe a disgruntled CM Punk leaves WWE and wrestling altogether. Maybe not.

     

    On the flip side, I'll also take over WWE/TNA/NJPW/whoever to sign certain wrestlers. Mainly because while I haven't played much of 2020, I imagine the AI can still be a bit silly at times, my favorite case in 2016 being releasing '87 Hogan for fun and seeing him going unsigned for about two years straight. Also makes it a bit more exciting to lose guys due to a narrative on top of whoever randomly gets poached as well. So spoilers ahead: Sami Callihan will be heading to the WWE after the first show.

     

    Last bit because I'm rambling now, but don't expect PWG to grow in this dynasty. There will be no Guerrilla TV or selling out the Cow Palace. Not going to do monthly events, I plan on sticking to PWG's actual schedule, but might add a few extra shows a year here and there. Bigger names probably won't make regular appearances, but there will be some surprises I'm sure.

     

    And finally, just some thanks. The obvious one is huge, major, super props to Bigpapa42 for this mod. Tremendous effort by him and all those who chipped in. This dynasty literally wouldn't exist without his work. Also credit to dynasty writers like Body By THawk, CGN91, Dalton, dean, Historian, Hollywood, joemurphy, and Moontine to name a few in alphabetical order apparently; others I'm omitting because otherwise the list will be way too long, but still appreciated. I don't always comment, but I lurk a lot and have found a lot of enjoyment and inspiration from your work and formats.

     

    Okay, enough yapping, time for wrestling. Let's goooooooooo

  10. Can anyone explain to me how Japanese touring scheduling works.

     

    Googling has resulted in zero help.

     

    I understand the idea that there is a big show at the end but what would a "Generic tour show" be booked like.

     

    The best way I can think to explain this is using the NJPW method since I've always found that to be the easiest, but it is tedious, so be ready for potential burnout. Basically, you work backwards. You book your big show first and then that first tour show is where all the matches are set up. Also it's extremely helpful to have a couple of factions with a decent amount of members in each one too in my opinion.

     

    So let's say you're playing as NJPW and your main event for the big show is Kazuchika Okada vs. Jay White, right?

     

    Okada is in CHAOS and Jay White is in Bullet Club. On that first tour show, I'd have Jay White and Bullet Club defeat Okada and CHAOS in some kind of tag match (2v2, 3v3, 4v4, etc.). You can have Jay pin Okada straight up or a member of CHAOS, but regardless, post-match, Jay challenges Okada and the match is always accepted because, well, why not?

     

    So for later tour shows, I'd always make sure Jay and Okada are facing off in tag matches, trading wins back-and-forth, but also having Bullet Club vs. CHAOS matches underneath too since you've got two factions going at it. Same goes for other factions, maybe you book Naito vs. Suzuki, so you've got LiJ and Suzuki-gun facing off too.

     

    And opening the show, you'll sometimes have a rookie vs. rookie match or more likely the old vets/lower card guys teaming up with or against rookies to help the rookies get experience.

     

    Basically 98% of your Generic Tour Shows will be consisted of 2v2s, 3v3s, 4v4s, 5v5s and the occasional 1v1s with lower card guys/rookies. Outside of Night 1 and maybe Night 2, there's no real consequences on the rest of the tours, it's just about building momentum and getting guys ready for the big show at the end of the tour. Whatever your important matches are for the big show, those wrestlers will always be facing each other in various match-ups on the tour shows.

     

    Depending on your roster size and how many matches you've got booked for the finale, I'd say a normal tour show could have like 5 to 7 matches total.

     

    Hopefully this helps, I'm not entirely sure if what I wrote is all coherent, but I can do my best to help if not!

  11. Might not be an ideal 1-for-1 trade, but could just use 2nd or 3rd place instead. Like 2010, UFC won for best event, so you could go with second place, which was ROH's Death Before Dishonor.

     

    Women's Wrestler of the Year will be a pain though. I'd say go from Wrestler of the Year voting to Most Outstanding Wrestler of the Year and if there's no woman wrestler placed anywhere in the top 10 or honorable mentions, maybe use Most Improved as a last resort?

  12. Second... anyone doing any long-term soak tests or even running a longer-term game, please keep an eye on the debuting workers. For anyone who debuts notably overpowered or underpowered, develops too quickly or doesn't develop enough....

     

    Did a couple deep games (one in 2027, one in 2021, and one in 2020), hopefully this stuff will be a bit helpful. One thing I've noticed is that a handful of notable yet-to-debut North American male wrestlers on the indies don't really ever develop because they never get signed anywhere, like Donovan Dijak, Brody King, Darby Allin, Killer Kross, Ricky Starks to name a few. In the 2027 save, they all manage to become 40s/50s across the board, but that's only in 2027.

     

    Guys on the EU indie scene though usually end up somewhere to develop. Tyler Bate basically becomes Tyler Bate of irl. Damon Moser is solid. Can't think of anyone else at this moment for the EU. Same with the Oceania guys, Kyle Fletcher has turned into a pretty good wrestler.

     

    As is the case due to touring shows, the Japanese guys are a bit harder to gauge. In two saves, Shota Umino becomes really good before he even leaves for excursion, but I don't think that's too far off either.

     

    The non-WWE yet-to-debut women end up crushing it though, usually because they get swooped up by a joshi fed and develop into great wrestlers over the years, but no one really becomes stupid overpowered. A handful become good in the early 2020s and then become great late 2020s.

     

    Performance Center crew end up being pretty true to life. Sonya Deville and Carmella usually fare better than most skill wise. However, Lana is the only one who becomes a lot better than she is, but I guess her being allowed to start wrestling 3 years earlier in developmental vs. real life gives her that edge.

  13. As for Regal, someone else pointed out the matches he had in later 2013 but unfortunately, the AI won't care if he's set to be Occasional. If he's active as a worker, he will work and the AI will book him on NXT all the time. The AI isn't beholden to contract roles eithers so the WWE AI will book Brock and Trips all the time.

     

    Ugh, that was my fear, appreciate the explanation! Guess that'll just have to be something you can really only do if you play as NXT.

  14. Dang it. I've adjusted. If that doesn't work now, it may require requesting permission which I will give as soon as I can. Really hoping to avoid that as its a pain in the bum.

     

    Now it's showing up as Comment Only mode for me :p When you go to File -> Share -> Get Link, if you change the left drop down from "Restricted" to "Anyone with the link" and right drop down to "Editor", you should be good to go!

  15. I know this is probably a matter of preference, but when it comes to dynasties of touring promotions the shows that serve as "highlight shows" on TV - how do you guys present those?

     

    Yeah, like Dalton suggested, CGN91's is an excellent example. I was also fond of Body By THawk's AJPW dynasty, joemurphy's NJPW dynasties, and dean's NJPW dynasties for that style as some other examples.

  16. Even though it would be a pain in the ass to set up, I do think Google Sheets would be the way to go. Let everyone else see what others have reported (and spare you from getting the same feedback over & over again), allow the testers to input feedback whenever/as they work instead of sending multiple emails or making multiple posts, and you could go in and color code items that have been completed/work-in-progress.

     

    Only other thing I thought of was a Discord server maybe? set up feedback, missing bits, questions, whatever channels. Though if there are a lot of messages in a given night, it could be a pain to go back and go through them. So I guess Sheets would be the best overall imo, then posts, Discord, and email last in my opinion.
