<div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="color:#FF0000;">TopRopeElbow.com Quarterly Report: Q3 2020</span></span></strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> USPW made a few extra additions to their roster as Marc DuBois signed from CWA, and in a fairly shocking turn of events Edward Cornell, cousin on the legendary Tommy Cornell has signed with USPW and will be plying his trade in the Unites States for the foreseeable future. However in bad news for the promotion, they have found themselves slide down the Global Company Rankings and are now ranked at being Medium Size, following in the footsteps of the struggling SWF. In on screen news, Nicky Champion has once again won the USPW World title, and the massive Gods of Thunder (Titan & Atlas) have won the USPW World Tag Team titles.</p><p> </p><p> No high-profile incoming workers to SWF this quarter as both James Prudence and Brandon James have found themselves unemployed following contract expiry. On top of that 7 people have graduated from SWF’s wrestling school and will be plying their trade in RIPW for the next year at least. And finally, SWF have begun airing a new ‘A’ level show SWF Breakdown which will likely lead to either a brand split or an influx of wrestlers between now and the end of the year. </p><p> </p><p> It may be a bad time to be a fan of Total Championship Wrestling as the company has found itself totally stagnant this quarter with no incoming or outgoing wrestlers and no title changes as the company continues to thread water in this harsh climate for the wrestling industry. </p><p> </p><p> Down in Mexico the only newcomer to EILL is Spanish Superfly while two stars left in the form of Campeon Jr. and Pharaoh King. Three of the companies changed hands this quarter as Magnifico won the Campeonato de México EILL title, Dutch Wilkes won the Campeonato del Mundo EILL title, and El Leon, Xtinction and Huracán Sandoval Jr. won the Campeonatos de Tríos EILL titles.</p><p> </p><p> Canadian giants CWA may soon find themselves out of business as serious financial trouble has plagued the company for the entirety of 2020. The joint Stone-DeColt venture is currently over one million dollars in debt and the sharks are said to be circling as the ship of dreams does indeed appear to be sinking. The on-screen product remains strong however, with a handful of title changes taking place this month including Rivera winning the CWA Television title, Lauren Easter winning the CWA Women’s title, and The Montral Mafia (Marc Raisin & Dermott Ayres) winning the CWA World Tag Team titles.</p><p> </p><p> For the third quarter in a row we are reporting a plethora of signings from Japanese giants BHOTWG who seem hell bent on killing any semblance of independent wrestling in the country which still has not fully recovered from the tsunami of 2016. Solar II, Blade Kimiyama, Tsuneyo and Toshimichi Tsurimi all signed from EX2010. They are joined by Akio, Ken Shimedzu, SATO, Findlay O’Farraday, Kokey Shoda, Avalanche Takano, Tosuke Narita and Haranobu Kobayashi. These signings were accompanied by a handful of older roster members being let go as Ninja Shunji, Optimus and Nissho Yuasa were allowed to leave the company. To top off a very strong corner from the promotion BHOTWG have also risen up the Global Company Rankings and now sit at Big size rather than their previous classification of Medium. In kayfabe news, Emerald Angel won Best of the Super Juniors, Munemitsu Senmatsu won the BHOTWG Japan title, Reijro Hiraki and Masakazu Kaima won the BHOTWG Junior Heavyweight Tag Team titles, and Yasunobu Masuno won the BHOTWG World Championship, </p><p> </p><p> In contrast to BHOTWG, Pride Glory have had a relatively quiet quarter as Doppo Ibu left the company after his contract expired, and Kazushige Matsuki won the PGHW Glory Crown title.</p><p> </p><p> 21CW continue their domination of the British and European wrestling scene with a handful of releases in the form of Grave Digger, Edison Silva and Colin Chalke. Meanwhile they have only made one signing this quarter, that being Leo Price. Otherwise the only news worth reporting is the fact that Absolutely Flawless (Kelly & Lance Martin) won the 21st Century Tag Team titles.</p><p> </p><p> No new signings for the Australian powerhouse that is RAW while Brodie Lachlan and Manhunter now find themselves unemployed. Two titles changed hands as Nicky Gilbert won the RAW Quest title, and Maurice Jackson won the RAW Television title</p><p> </p><p> In Confederation news Matt Sparrow won the newly minted COTT Junior Heavyweight title, while Pinky Perez won the COTT Women’s title, and the COTT Trios title remains vacant. Perhaps the Confederation were overeager in establishing a title with no real ideas on how to book it.</p><p> </p><p> In other news, the industry said goodbye to Chief Two Eagles, El Águila Americana and Harley Principal. Principal’s death has been seen as particularly tragic as they were gunned down in the crossfire of a SWAT team. </p><p> </p><p> In retirement news a number of high profile wrestlers retired this quarter, notably a number of AAA veterans who have been unable to find stable work since the closure of the company a few years ago. The list in full includes: Nate Johnson, Devil’s Daughter, Haru Kurofuji, Mary Beth Chase, Lady Liberty, Serena Star, Suzanne Brazzle, Candy Floss, Java, Jumbo Jackson, Yoko Ikina, Golden Delicious, Viper McKenna, Connie Morris, Melody, Tsuki Kawamata, Geena The Warrior Princess, Chris Caulfield, Nathan Coleman, Butcher Bartez, and Dallas McWade. On top of that Sanetomo Shirashi left the business. In promising news however Nathan Coleman has opened a wrestling school of his own to train the next generation of stars. </p><p> </p><p> The list of injuries suffered this quarter with an expected length of one year or more reads: Naoji Azumi, Shiori Jippensha, Greg Black, Tanyu Toshusai, Hugh de Aske and Chance Fortune. </p><p> </p><p> To finish up this quarterly report we are delighted to announce that WINNOW a joshi promotion dedicated to raising the next generation of Japanese women was founded by Saiko Hiroyuki.</p>

Frankie-Boy looked at Blaze’s title. Blaze looked at his title. And like a shot the two start brawling themselves, realising that from this point on, they were adversaries.

Last call for predictions as the show will be posted later on today

Jeez AJ just isn't pulling in the ratings anymore is he? Sad to see father time do him like that.

Its based on match quality. So if your low card people are putting on better matches than your tertiary people the prestige will go above. So I guess make them have worse matches on purpose?

I'm All In for this one

Honestly just want to give Abbi a hug, I've been there girl, it's okay

TopeRopeElbow.com presents MAW The Clash card The march towards Where It All Begins Again continues for Mid Atlantic Wrestling and this month we have what many see as the go-home show for the biggest event on the MAW calendar. The four men in the main event of that show find themselves in the main event of this one as Frankie-Boy Fernandes and Bradley Blaze take on Cheetah Boy and The Architect. On top of that we have a Mid Atlantic Tag Team championship match as DeMarcus & Gray take on The Heartbreak, with the winners going on to defend the titles against The Wolf Pack in October. Elsewhere on the card two young guys are going head-to-head as the towering behemoths of “The Nine-Tailed Fox” Ho Tinh is taking on “Burn It Down” Paris Burnett!

The floating title exists to fill this niche. Plus either way the classification only seems to effect starting prestige and how the AI book the titles, since there isn't prestige ceiling/floor anymore you can do whatever you want with whatever title.

Good show, excited to see how Brutus vs Williams goes down!

The Rough In a video posted to the Mid Atlantic Wrestling twitter account, the camera fades in to reveal Kyle Diamond sitting in front of John Hopkins University. It is a bright day, but a light breeze carried autumn leaves across the background of the video. “Hi there, Baltimore.” Diamond began. “We haven’t spoken much, you and me. You’re probably wondering what I’m all about. Where I come from, what I stand for. That sort of thing. Well, there’s a reason I’m here at John Hopkins University. That was a man who didn’t give up. Didn’t give in and fought for what he believed in. No doubt if you’re watching this you saw me lose my first ever match in Mid Atlantic Wrestling, Josh Jacobs was the better man and he got me. Do I wish Ho Tinh was there to help me out when I needed it? Sure, I am, but I know he had his own problems. He’s a good guy really.” Diamond stood and began to jog, the camera following him through the streets of Baltimore while he continued to speak. “I won’t be at The Clash. I have some business to attend to, but don’t worry everyone I’ll be back and better than ever at Where It All Begins Again, and I’m laying down an open challenge right now to anybody out there who thinks they have what it takes to take me down at my best. Anybody in the Confederation can accept and I’ll beat them.” The video ends as Diamond reaches his apartment block and goes in, fading to black as he enters the building.

Part of me thinks it could be Crockett Tubbs in the "bitter former partner left behind" role, but that's not really a smark-y story to tell. So I'm going to go for Acid, since he trained Conner, and that relationship hasn't really been addressed in Kayfabe, it would give those in the know a little tip of the cap, while also bringing in a fairly big name guy to face the champ. Plus you seem to be on a run of putting Conner over aging guys. (Honorary mention to Acid II in a kind of who is the true successor story, but I think that deserves more than a one time match).</em></p>

Rating: 32 3-Way Singles Match 15-Minute Time Limit vsvsw/ • The Architect challenged both TCW graduates to this match on Twitter, after claiming that he could beat any one of them with one hand behind his back. • After delivering some comeuppance to Architect and Jonah Pilgrim, the realisation that they were competing with each other dawned on Jaylon Martins and Joey Fili. • The TCW graduates teed off on each other, hitting many high impact moves in a strong showcase of their abilities while The Architect collected himself outside the ring. • After Martins had dropped Fili, The Architect slid in behind him, smacked him in the back of the head with a big boot and then locked in The Blueprint in the middle of the ring. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Architect defeated Joey Fili and Jaylon Martins in 10:30 when The Architect submitted Jaylon Martins with a Blueprint. • The Architect carried the match in terms of in-ring performance. Rating: 34 Tag Team Match 15-Minute Time Limit &vs& • Kyle Diamond was all smiles as he came down to the ring to make his in-ring debut alongside the enigmatic “Nine-Tailed Fox”. • Ho Tinh stood on the apron from the opening bell and each time Diamond reached to tag him in Ho Tinh did not reciprocate, but he entered the ring illegally several times to intimidate Josh Jacobs. • Ade Nelson took a cup of beer from a fan in the front row and threw it over Ho Tinh. Ho Tinh jumped down off the ring apron to attack Nelson, which allowed Josh Jacobs to nail Diamond with the Canadian Backdrop. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Jacobs & Nelson defeated Ho Tinh and Kyle Diamond in 6:04 when Josh Jacobs pinned Kyle Diamond with a Canadian Backdrop. Rating: 27 Tag Team Match 15-Minute Time Limit &vs& • The thrown together tandem of Copperhead and Trix Triumph were each looking to build some momentum going into Where It All Begins Again against the tag team champions. • The duo took it to DeMarcus & Gray and worked hard to show their worth, and had a clear affinity as a team. The worked over Tyrone Gray after taking control, cutting off the ring and hitting some good double team offence. • Gray fought out of the corner and made the hot tag to Nate DeMarcus who ran wild on his opponents, clobbering both with stiff forearms and a series of belly-to-belly suplexes, including throwing Copperhead clear over the top rope. • The match was as good as over from that point on, with Tyrone Gray re-joining the match and helping DeMarcus hit the Rocket Launcher for the pin. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, DeMarcus & Gray defeated Copperhead and Trix Triumph in 10:18 when Nate DeMarcus pinned Trix Triumph with a Rocket Launcher. Rating: 32 Chris Caulfield Retirement Match Singles Match 30-Minute Time Limit vs • Guillotine came out for what has been dubbed as Chris Caulfield’s retirement match wearing a DAVE t-shirt. When he stood across from “The Hardcore American” he pointed at the DAVE logo on the shirt and said “It’s dead, just like your career”. • This fired up Caulfield who went right for his bigger opponent from the opening bell and the two quickly found themselves brawling on the outside. • The referee threatened to disqualify Caulfield as he grabbed a chair from ringside, Caulfield grinned at him and said “What? You’re going to DQ me in my retirement match?” To this the referee threw his hands up and allowed Caulfield one chair shot on the big man. • Unfortunately for him the brief distraction was enough for Guillotine to get his wits about him, and he booted the chair right into Caulfield’s face. The big man then threw Caulfield into the ringside barricade and booted him again in the face. • Caulfield fought back into the match once more when Guillotine rolled him back into the ring, but he quickly found himself on the receiving end of a chokeslam and finally the big man’s Sideswipe Knee, to bring the match and his career to an end. • In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Guillotine defeated Chris Caulfield in 7:50 by pinfall with a Sideswipe Knee. Rating: 47 Main Event Singles Match 20-Minute Time Limit vs • Miller Fforde coming off his grudge match win with Josh Jacobs looked to insert himself into the title picture here with a win over the crafty veteran Cheetah Boy. • This match was worked at a slow, methodical pace, with each man finding innovative ways of countering the other. Cheetah Boy reversed an arm wringer via a rope-assisted somersault while Fforde escaped a headscissors on the canvas through a handstand. • Things picked up after a half dozen minutes and the match fell into a nice groove and benefitted greatly from a hot crowd after the brawl between Guillotine and Caulfield, and Miller Fforde received more support than usual from a crowd that were desperate for a good guy to win. • Both men fell at one point after hitting each other with simultaneous superkicks, and neither rose to their feet until the referee reached a count of 9. • With 10 seconds remaining in the match, Fforde nailed Cheetah Boy with the Fforde Flip Face Crusher, however he was unable to make the cover due to exhaustion and the match went to a time limit draw. • In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Cheetah Boy drew with Miller Fforde in 20:00 when the time limit expired.

Lisa Bowen understood that well. She was well aware of the futility of life. Of how little of it she controlled, and the extend to which she was at the mercy of others. Her father, Barry Bowen, was owed a favour, so she got a job in Mid Atlantic Wrestling. Days lead to weeks, lead to months where a person has no real say in their circumstances. On a warm night in August, Lisa Bowen reclaimed a little bit of her narrative.</p><p> </p><p> The two had been friends for years, insofar as two people who never interacted outside of a work function could be friends. They saw each other, several times a month every month for seven years. Always on the periphery of the other’s vision, but never the centre of attention. Never close. So, it was much to her surprise when Nate texted her one night to see how she was. It was a surreal experience, Nate was an handsome man, a gifted athlete and was in the prime of his life having just turned 26-years-old. But he made the first move.</p><p> </p><p> Lisa sent screenshots of every message to her best friend Kelly-Anne Stuart. She wanted – needed – a second opinion on every reply she sent to Nate. She hadn’t dated since she broke off her engagement to her fiancé in 2018. She was rusty, but she remembered the game. The careful dance performed by people in order to reveal those parts of themselves deemed lovable, while hiding those other parts. Those dark pieces of yourself that comes attached to the good stuff. Two sides of the same coin.</p><p> </p><p> Lisa knew Nate well enough to know the game wasn’t even in his mind. He had probably never thought about it once in his life. Lisa would never consider him a stupid man, but he was a quiet man, who kept to himself and didn’t concern himself with the socio-cultural implications of his every interaction. At least Lisa hoped that was the case, and she hadn’t psychoanalysed the man accidentally. She needed to work on that desperately, getting to know people rather than observing them and deciding who they were. “I’m really observant and see the little things in people”, she says rather than “I make a psychosexual model of any potential boyfriend.”</p><p> </p><p> Although she didn’t do it much outside of planning for matches and segments, Nate was easy to talk to. He never seemed interested in anything other than wrestling, in a good way. He dedicated all of his attention to the task at hand. And when Lisa checked the time and realised she had absentmindedly been texting until three o’clock in the morning, she decided to make an unauthorised move, an aggressive turn that she knew would see her scolded when Kelly-Anne woke up and heard what she had done. She held her breath and took her shot.</p><p> </p><p> “Hey, do you want to grab a drink some time?”</p>

Boycott until Don gets his job back! The man has kids to feed!

(Can be made hidden in the database)</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> It's an organic mod made of computer generated workers. But the fact that the game is so bad at balancing it's own role ratios is concerning. As I said before it makes an unsustainable environment</p>

<p>It's mostly just flavour text based on worker personalities and skills.</p><p> </p><p> For future reference you should post questions like these in the question threads pinned at the top so as to avoid the board filling up with a lot of threads asking the same question</p>

I've simulated from 1920 to the end of 1946 in Effganic's organic mod and I have noticed that every single retired wrestler has become either a manager, or gone on to have no role at all. This has left the game world with only 5 road agents in total and they were workers that are in the database from the beginning. Auto Fix Imbalance in the setting also doesn't generate road agents. I haven't tested this in the cverse or a real world mod but if this problem is consistent across datebases then it will severely impact the viability of long term saves. I understand that a player can talk to workers, but not all will want to become road agents, and it hurts the quality of matches and shows the AI can put together.

Skull DeBones, Jack Bruce and Rick Law all graced the prestigious facility at once point and as time goes on, more and more of what will become legendary workers have graduated. In 2010, Jonah Pilgrim found his way on to the independent circuit, with the top-class credentials of the Piledriver School. Unfortunately for Jonah, he looked more like a fan than a wrestler. He was big. But kind of pudgy. Tall. But kind of lanky. He was a funny guy who looked more suited to stand-up comedy than professional wrestling.</p><p> </p><p> Fortunately for Jonah, he was resourceful, quick-witted, and able to use his appearance to his advantage. He spent a number of years working some of the most highly acclaimed comedy bouts on the independent circuit all across the Eastern United States before Sam Keith spotted him and set him up with a job in Mid Atlantic Wrestling. Indie pop-up shows were good fun, but if he wanted to make a name for himself in the business, Jonah knew he had to find a real place to ply his trade, and none were better than MAW. </p><p> </p><p> The day he signed for MAW he was told he’d be paired up with Hal Harvard, real name Benjamin Cardillo, as a kind of frat boy team. Jonah had no issues with that, it was a good use of his talents. Ben was a weird guy. Very secretive, kept to himself and whenever he and Jonah needed to talk about a match or an angle they always did it in Jonah’s place, which was weird for him considering he still lived with his mother and sisters at the time. There was even a time when Jonah could have sworn, he heard Benjamin say “affirmative” to his mother over the phone, but he assumed they were just one of those military families.</p><p> </p><p> The night before Ben left to go to SWF after signing a big money contract, Jonah took him out for a drink. There, in a dark bar with the smell of old whiskey hanging in the air Benjamin told Jonah “Listen buddy, I’m going to do something big when I get to SWF, just you watch.”</p><p> </p><p> Jonah, happy for and proud of his friend clinked a glass against his and said “Of course you will buddy, and with some luck, I’ll be joining you soon. Maybe we can get the Pack back together what do you say?”</p><p> </p><p> Ben smiled to himself and said, “You don’t get it Jonah, I’m going to change the world.”</p><p> </p><p> Another weird one in a long line of weird ones, Jonah shrugged his shoulders and continued his celebrations with his friend. When the truth behind Operation Lullaby came out, and Jonah discovered why Ben had really gotten into wrestling, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride for his friend. The two talk occasionally, and Jonah even got to meet Ben’s wife and daughter that he couldn’t talk about while the two worked together.</p>

Simulating until August 1940 (1332 active wrestlers) this is what I got, leaving out gimmick stuff, basic personalities, future staff and attributes a worker can gain and lose and doesn't debut with. Keeping in mind that some workers have more than one attribute that only appears once, I think there should be a bit of a boost to attributes appearing. Highly Moral - 3 (1 worker has highly moral and deathmatch wrestler) Prudish - 0 Horndog - 2 Unfaithful - 1 Creative Dynamo - 1 Very Creative - 0 Creative - 2 Chequered Past - 0 Often in Trouble - 6 Most Wanted - 2 Passes on knowledge - >10 Unaproachable - 1 Highly Strung - 4 Positive Outlook - 7 Thin skinned - 8 Notorious Ribber - 3 Anti-Hardcore - 1 Keeps Kayfabe - 0 (In 1940?) Extremely Old School - 0 Money motivated - 4 Loves the business - 3 Fame Hungry - 7 Has a temper - 1 Born fighter - 4 Bad ass rep - 0 Motormouth - 2 Story Teller - >10 Apolitical - 1 Easy to do business with - 2 Business minded - 4 Political plater - 1 Comedy Match worker - 2 Daredevil - 5 Fearless - 0 Risk Taker - 4 Stuntman - 5 No Stunts - 0 Deathmatch wrestler - >10 Will Risk injury - >10 High pain threshold - 7 Canny Operator - 8 Dynamo - 3 Tag team specialist - 1 Selfish performer - 5 Giving performer - 4 Explosive Ring style - 0 Slow and steady - 0 Squash master - 0 Scatterbrained - 0 Straight Edge - 1 Marketing nightmare - 0 Unmarketable - 0 Easily marketable - 0 Marketing dream - 0 Stud Athlete - 0 Gymnastic background - 1 Natural trainer - 4 Desperado - 4 Healing Factor - 0 Career woman - 0 No pregnancies - 0 Prodigy - 1 Not a natural - 0 Age just a number - 0 Can't fight time - 0 Ahead of their time - 0 Homebody - 0 world traveller - 0 Deep roots - 0 fitness fanatic - 0 Bodybuilder - 0 Skinny genes - 0 fat genes - 0 Masked for life - 0 Troublesome bodyparts - 0 (Grouped for ease) History of concussions - >10 Loyal - 0 Itchy feet - 0 Wrestling in blood - 0 Outside interests - 0 Modelling experience - 0

Most people, myself included, use imgur. Especially since imgur allows you to copy/paste the bbcode from your images so you dont have to fiddle with typing out the [ img] tag yourself

I think this reveals another issue with the attribute system which is that certain attributes shouldn't be able to be hidden. Why would a worker have a secret modeling career, or how would they even? How could somebody be secretly "easily marketable"? When marketability is usually based around looks and general demeanour which are, like star quality, fairly obvious at a glance

More data on this is always good! Again important to note the facilities in the effverse mod are pretty poop to start and I'm sure that effects attribute generation but as I've said before this seems <strong>extremely</strong> low even with that in mind
