  2. It's definitely Lesnar, Taker, Cena. Reigns is nowhere near touching those three in terms of drawing power
  3. I understand the system comes from WMMA so this probably wasn't considered by would it be possible to set it up so that if I pre-book a winner in a tournament match, the tournament bracket updates in real-time? As it is I find the tournament system to be unusable when booking a one-night tournament, or any tournament that has more than semi-final and finals on the one night.

  5. Number 8 was the match of the night bonus prediction which you left blank. I only noticed when I was tallying up the predictions to make the post so I couldn't warn you about it I'm sorry
  6. I have nothing really to add to your point I just really appreciate your username, 5SSW are great
  7. MAW Super Showdown Sat, Wk4, Mar 2020 Attendance: 156 Opening Match Singles Match 15-Minute Time Limit vs • Guillotine dominated the local talent Mad Dog Mortimer from bell-to-bell. • The match went slightly long and the crowd began to lose some interest in a simple squash running for over five minutes, however they did pop for Guillotine’s Sideswipe Knee finisher. • Unfortunately Mortimer was just too old and broken down to make Guillotine look as good as he needed. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Guillotine defeated Mad Dog Mortimer in 5:59 by pinfall with a Sideswipe Knee. Rating: 21 Tag Team Match 15-Minute Time Limit & w/ vs & • This was a decent back-and-forth affair from two teams who have unfortunately found themselves lost in the shuffle since losing the tag titles. • Lisa Bowen worked well at ringside and did a good job of engaging the crowd for her boys’ comeback, but her interactions with Ralph Liotta looked off, she seemed to overwhelm him slightly. • The Express showed great fire throughout especially in when Johnny Needham made the tag to Liotta but his offence was cut off by Seth Whitehead, who locked in his Minnesota stretch while Harvey Robbinfield kept Needham on the outside of the ring. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, The Greatness defeated The Heartbreak Express in 7:58 when Seth Whitehead submitted Johnny Needham with a Minnesota Stretch. Rating: 25 Singles Match 15-Minute Time Limit vs • Trix Triumph brought the fight to Miller Fforde in a heated match in which Fforde was constantly checking his back for Josh Jacobs. • His lack of focus allowed Trix to take control several times throughout the match and looked in danger of losing once or twice. • However despite his strong showing he couldn’t get the job done as Trix found himself on the receiving end of the Fforde Flip Face Crusher and the defeat. • In a decent match, Miller Fforde defeated Trix Triumph in 7:59 by pinfall with a Fforde Flip Face Crusher. Rating: 35 Tag Team Match 15-Minute Time Limit & vs & • The duo of Copperhead and Duke Freeman showed their lack of experience in this match as they failed to cooperate the same way the current Mid Atlantic Tag Team Champions did. • They did however show their tenacity in the match, with some hard brawling to strike back against the champs. • Unfortunately it wouldn’t be enough as DeMarcus & Gray hit Freeman with the Rocket Launcher, which followed by a dive to the outside by Gray onto Copperhead was enough to earn the victory for the champions. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, DeMarcus & Gray defeated Copperhead and Duke Freeman in 9:32 when Nate DeMarcus pinned Duke Freeman with a Rocket Launcher. Rating: 30 Singles Match 15-Minute Time Limit vs w/ • The Architect stood at ringside during this match and made his presence known at every given opportunity, even going so far as to thrown Frankie-Boy into the ring steps while Jonah Pilgrim distracted the referee. • Frakie-Boy fought back well with his patented high impact offence, hitting a handspring back elbow and a slingblade on Pilgrim. • In the closing stretch of the match Frankie-Boy nailed The Architect with a baseball slide dropkick to the outside before hitting Pilgrim with his Dirt Nap finisher. • In a decent match, Frankie-Boy Fernandes defeated Jonah Pilgrim in 11:37 by pinfall with a Dirt Nap. Rating: 36 Mid Atlantic American Championship Match Singles Match 30-Minute Time Limit vs © • This match saw a clash of two very different styles, as the high octane and explosive Jaylon Martins came up against the cerebral Sandman Winks. • Martins started off the match hot, going straight for his opponent in an attempt to neutralise him as quickly as possible. • Things did end up mirroring last month’s tag team match however, as as soon as Martins ran out of steam and Winks took control the result was a foregone conclusion as Martins found himself once again passing out in the Deep Sleep sleeper hold. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Sandman Winks defeated Jaylon Martins in 9:56 by submission with a Deep Sleep. Sandman Winks wins the Mid Atlantic American title. Rating: 23 Main Event Singles Match 30-Minute Time Limit vs • Josh Jacobs tried to turn this match into a technical masterclass, however the strength of the COTT World Champion Ant-Man allowed him to power out of many of Jacobs holds. • Jacobs shifted to using stiff strikes to wear down Ant-Man who utilised an impressive array of throws and suplexes from the opening bell. • Jacobs eventually showed his frustration by poking the eyes of Ant-Man to take control of the match. • Things finally ended when Ant-Man early bumped into the referee, allowing Jacobs to roll him up and grab a handful of tights where the referee couldn’t see it to get the win. • In a decent match, Josh Jacobs defeated Ant-Man in 20:17 by pinfall with a handful of tights.

  11. Maybe if it could be coded so that touring companies offer handshake deals for the length of the tour? I think that would be a nice simulation of what happened previously
  12. I think this is one of those features where you have to put gameplay ahead of realism for sure. Being able to advance storylines on pre-shows will be very useful for some people and doesn't at all impact people who don't want to book like that.
  13. Ursula K. Le Guin once wrote “We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?” This was a philosophy which Jay Fair lived by. He ensured to always be kind, gentle, brave even in the face of adversity. He found himself becoming a locker room leader long before he was handed the book in Mid Atlantic Wrestling, and he always believed in part that he was put in charge of booking because he was well-liked rather than a good booker. Jay fed Sam Keith and Mean Jean plenty of ideas prior to Jean leaving in 2014, but he never changed the game. In a sense, Jay felt he was less of a booker and more of a page turner. Sure he put the shows together but most guys went above him to Sam when they had a question. Sam would always tell them “Go ask Jay, I don’t book the shows”. He respected Jay’s authority, but everybody knew he had the real final say on everything. Tamara McFly was everything Jay wasn’t. She came from a wrestling family, she was a former wrestler and champion, she knew how to put a match together, she was well travelled, and she had connections in the industry. Jay knew he had to get her in to help with producing the shows and as much as she tried to present herself as a hard-ass, there was always a hint of a smile on her face when she thought nobody was looking. Jay didn’t have fears of being usurped. He could hand over booking duties to Tamara or anybody Sam brought in without much fuss. He knew he would be refereeing for Sam Keith until the day they both keeled over. And until that day Jay swore to himself he was going to continue to hold his hand out in the dark. Every worker had his number, in case they ever needed him for anything. Marvin would occasionally call to ask about Susan. Some of the younger guys would ask him about potential indie bookings, the very young guys would warn him of impending deadlines and finals. Those circumstances in which one of America’s bright-eyed youths would be unable to successfully work a wrestling card. And of course Tamara McFly continued to text him at least a half-dozen times throughout the day. Storyline ideas, business ventures, marketing ploys. For a woman who insisted she wouldn’t show up at every show she managed to put in exactly as much work as Jay in putting them together. Jay Fair. Happily married. Booking one of the most well-renowned companies on the American independent scene. Content with his lot in life.
  14. Main Event Captain Lucha Don't see him losing here and he's facing a jobber to the stars Match 4 American Cobras Established team get a solid defence of their titles Match 3 Dragon Americano If Blue Phantom has handed in his notice I don't see him going over for the next month Match 2 Queen Amazon The queen needs to bounce back from the PPV loss Match 1 Mario Heroic I don't see him losing his debut match against a guy you don't seem to have any plans for
  15. I'm going to go against the grain here and predict Jack Pryde will win the tournament.
  16. It's actually kind of sad that you're wrong because it means in canon such a terrible worker has held the title

  18. <p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>TopRopeElbow.com presents Mid Atlantic Wrestling Super Showdown 2020 Card!</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Hello all, Ricky Gibbons here to give you the rundown on this month's Super Showdown card. 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!

  20. Melvin Danzig is about to become the Cverse version of Zandig and I'm very ready for it.
  21. There is no limit to the balance of workers under the new system. So it is possible to have an entire roster of well-know or an entire roster of major stars. Since it's based on popularity and overness and how they relate to the company it means your booking is what effects perceptions. So 2001 Billy Gunn can be a Star in perception without being as over as say Mick Foley (who I wouldn't consider a Major Star by 2001) because Billy Gunn has so much momentum
  22. 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.
