I'm going to go against the grain here and predict Jack Pryde will win the tournament.

It's actually kind of sad that you're wrong because it means in canon such a terrible worker has held the title

My personal pick for match of the night is going to have to go to Miller Fforde vs Trix Triumph. Fforde is one of the most reliable guys on the indies and Trix has been working twice as hard since the end of last year to make a real name for himself in MAW.</p><p> </p><p> It is interesting to see a lack of names from the new developmental signings on the show although it is possible that they will be saved and given more staggered debuts throughout the year. </p><p> </p><p> And as reported previously Brad Blaze will not be appearing on the show in any capacity. He has said on social media that he is back in Texas taking care of his sick father, but did lay down a challenge for any champion in a Confederation company to challenge him for his Mid Atlantic Championship at Americana. It's always good to see a fighting champ!

Melvin Danzig is about to become the Cverse version of Zandig and I'm very ready for it.

TopRopeElbow.com Report: New Mid Atlantic Wrestling Signings Well folks it appears that a number of new signings are coming to MAW in March, both in and out of the ring. This comes as a result of Total Championship Wrestling’s annual class graduating from their dojo, with MAW confirming that they would be taking three of the men on developmental deals following their graduation. The first of which is Kyle Diamond a 6-foot 3-inch tall wonder from Connecticut is said to have impressed with his amazing grasp of fundamentals for a rookie, however at 23 he finds himself as the oldest graduate of the class and with something of an ego if sources from within the camp are to be believed, it will be interesting to see how he fits in amongst the humble MAW setting. The second graduate to report on is Marvin Gallagher. The young man from New Jersey is descendant from Vietnamese immigrants who came to America following the Vietnam War and finds himself in unique company joining the ever growing community of LGBT workers in the industry. The mountain of a man at 6-foot 10-inches and tipping the scales at over 300lbs seems to have all of the tools necessary to become a massive star in the industry, if looks are to be believed. Last but not least from the graduates moving to MAW is Paris Burnett, a man who somehow manages to edge Marvin Gallagher in terms of size coming in at 6-foot 10-inches and weighting a whopping 328lbs. He appears to lack the impressive physique of the other graduates moving to MAW but the man who has been described as “a born heel” will surely find no end of success within the industry. MAW have also signed a non-wrestler to a permanent contract, welcoming the young DeAnna Desire to their ranks. It is unclear at the moment what the young woman from Texas will be doing in MAW but apparently Sam Keith is quite high on her following a recommendation from none other than Mid Atlantic Champion Bradley Blaze. Could an on-screen relationship between the two be in the offing? The final piece of news is that the company’s Twitter has confirmed that newly crowned Confederation of the Territories World Heavyweight Champion Ant-Man will be appearing at their Super Showdown event. The “Pintsize Powerhouse” won the title from former champion Pablo Rodriguez in a well-received match and he has already defended it once in OLLIE. The news behind this move is that the loan from ACPW was organised well in advance of the decision to have Ant-Man take the COTT title off Rodriguez. Does this mean he won’t be defending the title on the show? Perhaps, but only time will tell with the Super Showdown card being revealed tomorrow, for now all we can do is speculate.

Hell hath no fury like a Keith scorned. I can see Pablo Rodriguez going out on his back next time he shows his face in Baltimore.

Enter Sandman “It’s called a work Dave, you should look it up some time.” “Is it really wise to go off on Twitter about the TCW guys quote, stealing all of our spots, end quote without telling them that what you’re doing is definitely just a work and there isn’t any animosity there?” Henry “Sandman” Winks, looked back into the eyes of his tag team partner, and now roommate David Barker. The two had been going back and forth for weeks over Henry’s social media use and whether or not it was best to be spontaneous on the platform, or to talk things through with people to ensure they didn’t get the wrong idea. David fell on the side of caution, which was easy for him given his lack of any social media presence with the exception of an old Facebook account he used to keep in contact with his parents since moving from the family home. Henry however, was vehement in his opposition. “What would you know about going off on Twitter, mister Myspace? Without me this team would have no online presence whatsoever!” David scoffed and walked into the tiny kitchen of the pair’s tiny apartment. His large frame alone was cramped within its four, mildew-stained walls. “Do you want coffee while I’m making some man?” He asked. “Hey! Wait a second!” Henry exclaimed, springing up from his seat. “Don’t dodge the question. What would you know about Twitter?” David scoffed again and gently barged past the slightly larger man in the room and placed two cups of coffee down on their, admittedly reasonably sized table. “What I know is that nothing good ever comes from these little Twitter feuds. Eventually somebody is going to take things too far and then the feud will be real.” Henry took a slow sip of his coffee and closed his eyes gently. He stayed like that for a few moments, finally letting out a long, slow breath before speaking again. “David you’re an old-school guy, and I respect that...” Henry trailed off at the end of his sentence, but was forced to continue by his friend’s very pointed and inquisitive “but?” “… But it’s the twenty-first century man. I wrestle old-school but I know there’s a new dimension to wrestling now. Did Rip Chord and Sam Strong have to tell each other privately that they weren’t really mad at each other?” “Well, no. You could never have the biggest face and heel in a company talk to each other like that back in the day, it would be a disaster if they were seen to be friends outside the ring.” Henry smiled, “Exactly, this is just the work for the modern day. Do you think we would have been on that Wrestling Classic card, in that tag team match, if I hadn’t gotten some buzz around a feud between Jaylon and I?” David paused and sipped at his coffee. Henry could tell from the way he pulled his shoulders in that his roommate was trying to find a way out of admitting that they may not have been booked otherwise. Henry chugged back the rest of his coffee and stood up. He patted his partner on the shoulder as he walked past on the way to their front door. “Anyway I’ve gotta go to work man, Mister Timmson isn’t going to train himself, or else I’d be out of a job. I’ll make sure not to piss off anybody on twitter while I’m gone.” He jibed. Henry could hear some kind of threat from the other side of the door once he got into the hallway, knowing his roommate it probably involved Henry buying take out. But he shrugged and continued on his way to the gym, the door gave him enough plausible deniability to pretend he heard nothing.

I mean, I guess it wasn't? Because I cant be playing on an earlier patch since TCW only get their graduates in March and the only way I could play in March is being on the current patch. So yknow something's gone wrong there

I just got a run-time error crash (I've reported it in tech support dw), but its for something as simple as rejecting a developmental deal from TCW and its once again just one of those "how did this get through any amount of play testing" problems

As of patch 15 I think the default Contant schedule is now even better again than the default Touring schedule

I'm extremely in

I've gotta say never did I think The Rock City Stars would be my favourites to win a tournament in 2020 but so far they've gotta be my pick

FOR THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE: Quentin Queen vs. The Silencer You have more interesting challengers on the face side at the minute Wild Red Stallion vs. Remmy Honeyman Stallion will be one of them some day Tavon Blake Jr. vs. Lobo Blanco The Sioux Warriors vs. The Hot Taggs Possible manager shenanigans James Diaz vs. Jules Night vs. Jerry Pepper vs. The Masked Mauler VII The only guy you've singled out Jason Patterson vs. Romeo Romaro Job boy

Extraordinario Jr vs. Marcos Flores (#1 Contenders Final) Clown shenanigans lose Flores this one MATCH 4 Coulrophobia vs. The Freedom Family (w/ Agueda Alonso) MATCH 3 El Critico & Space Invaders vs. Nicolas Lopez, Captain Lucha & North Star Jr MATCH 2 La Hija del Diablo vs. Ursula Saez MATCH 1 Mr. Lucha III vs. Phoenix IV

I personally don't think worker health will be too much of an issue because even if say on constant compared to tour a worker's health deteriorates 1.5* faster, that means it'll go from 10 years of peak work to say 6.66 years of peak work. Which is still far longer than the average TEW save seems to go and still long enough to build other stars effectively in the meantime.

Actually neither of those things you've said are true. We need to be working off the data we have and not in hypothetical "well this COULD happen". The data we have suggests that injuries are no more or less likely to occur on constant as opposed to touring, and also that injuries are no more severe on constant. It also isnt true that touring is better for young talent. The point was that touring shows mean you could have more spots for your young workers, but I find that to be misleading. On constant there are actually MORE shows being held according to the data which means even if your young guys on average are getting 1 less match per show, the fact there were more shows held will in the long run outweigh that. Plus the fact that the constant normal events will cause bigger and faster increases in pop for your young guys as opposed to tour shows which correspond to little or no pop growth. So I really don't see how touring could be better for growing young talent outside of the already debunked "well you could put more of them on a tour show" argument

Tbf though how often in real life has a massive event or scandal caused a 'name' company to shut down? The way 2016 went most saves of mine that went a few years ended with PGHW and 5SSW being bought out so I think it'll be interesting to have a game where they end up more financially viable.

I would go so far as to say she's the best wrestler of the 4 horsewomen when she's on her game, but as I said it's a low consistency that lets her down not an innate lack in her in-ring skills.</p>

The fans are more accepting of developing talents -- so you can feature your young lions and unknown wrestlers a little bit more. You also don't have the negative morale complaints of wrestlers who might get left off a tour show -- so if you don't want to feature Funakoshi on several tour shows straight, he won't get upset -- but if he misses a three or four events in a row, he's not going to be happy.</p><p> </p><p> You also highlighted the injuries -- which on the surface doesn't seem like a major deal, but factor in that you if you are using your top talent more, you're risking them more. So let's say you're BCG. Over three months of running a constant schedule, you lose Funakoshi, Torri, Okamoto in a short span to major injuries from the physical wear and tear that adds up -- you'll be up the creek because this game factors in the stars on a show more readily and if you don't have the star power on a show, you will see dwindling returns.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> The problem with this though is you are working under the assumption that people are booking bad shows. If the constant schedule is resulting in better finances AND pop growth then there isn't a reason to use the touring schedule unless you want total realism. The core of your argument here I feel relies on the player being bad at the game, which is paper thin reasoning I feel.</p><p> </p><p> This does however lead to one pretty glaring issue with the data and that is the fact this was a watcher game. The AI inherently has an advantage as it does not have to deal with penalties like negative chemistry and repetitive booking. Which means if there is only 1 combination of workers on a roster that could provide a 100 match then the AI can spam it no matter what and we can't (This can be turned off but I am working under the premise that the hypothetical player is using default settings.)</p><p> </p><p> Another issue with your argument as well Historian is that very few of the product set ups will consider the matches with your unknowns as main events receive so much weight, and I also don't believe the game is nuanced enough to provide more learning in a 10-minute match vs a 6-minute match, and rather that skill increase is based on the quality of opponent moreso. On top of that your young lions and unknowns will receive far small popularity boosts for being on tour shows, so while you can use them more often the actual effectiveness of that is much lower as a win on a tour show is worth much less than a win at a normal event.</p>
