I always think approaching social issues is important and possible in every mode of writing, even in the diary format. Coming from a minority group myself I try to make the characters in my diary as diverse as possible, I've avoided approaching things head-on but I definitely think there's space for these topics in dynasties so long as you keep to the rules

Yeah, I'll be looking to expand on that partnership going forward, but one thing I like in wrestling is groups of people who are aligned without necessarily being a stable. I mean are we supposed to believe these people aren't friends unless they're tag team partners? I think now that I'm beyond the first year I can really start fleshing out personalities with what's established, and on the topic of Blaze and Fforde, that is one born out of necessity I think, I wasn't loving the prospect of two milquetoast goody goodies in the main event scene together.

Main Event Singles Match Sixty Minute Time Limit COTT Mid American Championship "The East Side Assassin" Sayeed Ali versus "The Indiana Strangler" Conner Threepwood © If he loses to Conner here, Conner is just the better man, Ali needs to prove he can beat him and a short title reign for Ali as a transitional champ could allow you to work another babyface into a top position on the card Eight-Man Tag Thirty Minute Time Limit Elimination Match The Dog Soldiers and ??? versus Genesis w/ Andrew Gibson I'm doing a 180 on my original thoughts on this purely because Dreadnought hasn't left his feet or taken a bump yet, and we've already established he can single handedly take out the DS. PJ Strong won't be enough to turn things around. Singles Match Thirty Minute Time Limit Nate "The Great" DeMarcus versus "Pretty Boy" Ozzie Goldstein Nate beat Phillipe, I doubt you'll have him lose to the tag guy Singles Match Thirty Minute Time Limit Felicia Luck versus Black Diamond Like always you seem high on Luck, but I think Diamond has taken one too many pins for it to make sense for War Maidens to keep her around. And she's better as a heel so I don't sense a turn. Tag Team Match Thirty Minute Time Limit American Gold versus The Wolf Pack WrestleWorld existing by this point means The Wolf Pack could be the more over duo here, but American Gold could reasonably challenge for the tag belts with a big win here. Tag Team Match Thirty Minute Time Limit The Rock City Stars versus The Player's Club w/ Lucinda Lush This is an awkward one, because the stars shouldn't be near the tag titles any time soon, but with heel champs you won't want heel challengers. I'll say keep the Stars strong so they're in touching distance of the COTT belts. But could go either way. Opening Match Singles Match Thirty Minute The Hangman Challenge Bowden Snoop versus The Hangman Another win for The American Hard Ass, although it would be nice to see him do something other than the same old squash at this stage. Bonus Point: Who is the mystery partner for the Dog Soldiers? Oh Hey There PJ Strong

MAW Brawltimore 2021 Fri, Wk 2, Feb 2020 Attendance: 751 Viewers: 28,396 Opening Match 1v2 Handicap Match 15-Minute Time Limit vs& • Ho Tinh appeared in the ring after the lights went out, likely to avoid an attack from The Past Masters before the match began. • The match began with a two on one attack by Sandman Winks and The Historian who charged straight for “The Nine-Tailed Fox” and hit him with hard strikes in the corner. • The referee managed to take control of the match, and once The Past Masters were split up Ho Tinh took control with his martial arts inspired offence. • The Past Masters struggled to take the big man off his feet, however while Sandman Winks distracted the referee, Dreadnought ran into the ring and clobbered Ho Tinh from behind, then nailed him with a Dread Bomb. • By the time the referee turned back around he witnessed The Historian the Blast From The Past on Ho Tinh and cover him for the three count. • In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, The Past Masters defeated Ho Tinh in a Handicap match in 11:40 when The Historian pinned Ho Tinh with a Blast From The Past following interference from Dreadnought. Rating: 40 Tag Team Match 15-Minute Time Limit &vs& • The new team of Lionhearts showed themselves to be a good pairing with the strength of Kyle Diamond meshing well with the high-flying offence of Gordon Shearer. • The two got to shine for the opening portion of the match, but they were quickly shut down by the Mid Atlantic Tag Team champions. • The two teams went through a standard formula which resulted in Sean Noggin hitting Searer with the Hangman’s Neckbreaker. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Wolf Pack defeated Lionhearts in 7:40 when Sean Noggin pinned Gordon Shearer with a Hangman's Neckbreaker. Rating: 30 Singles Match 15-Minute Time Limit vsw/ • Two veterans of MAW went head-to-head in a match that would provide good momentum at this early stage of the year. • Needham was accompanied to the ring by Lisa Bowen who didn’t show any particular interest in the action going on in the ring, instead spending much of its eight-minute run time filing her nails. • Needham and Deadline went back and forth in a relatively even affair that ended when Needham found himself on the receiving end of the Deadliner. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Deuce Deadline defeated Johnny Needham in 7:54 by pinfall with a Deadliner. Rating: 33 Singles Match 15-Minute Time Limit vs • The masked rookie War Piece was making his debut here against the young Samoan who has struggled for form since last year. • War Piece got some heat in early, catching Fili off guard. • This wouldn’t last long as Fili hit a big Samoan drop and took control of the match. • He then dropped War Piece with a Spinning Back Fist to pick up the win. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but terrible wrestling, Joey Fili defeated War Piece in 4:27 by pinfall with a Spinning Back Fist. Rating: 10 COTT World Tag Team Championship match Tag Team Match 30-Minute Time Limit &vs& © • The veteran tag team representing OLLIE were making a rare appearance this far north in the United States to take on the former Mid Atlantic Tag Team champions. • Evil Intent lived up to their name, showing no hesitation to bend the rules to take the lead in the match. • The two teams went hell for leather, laying into each other hard, with Nate DeMarcus made to look especially good as he threw Hellspawn and Slayyer around the ring. • DeMarcus & Gray hit the Rocket Launcher on Hellspawn 666 and things looked all over until what originally appeared to be a fan jumped over the ringside barricade and pulled the referee out of the ring. • Another supposed fan threw white powder into the face of Nate DeMarcus who turned directly into The Pit of Hell from Evil Intent, after the two attackers, who removed Evil Intent masks to reveal themselves to be Two Man Riot threw Tyron Gray into the ring steps. • In a decent match, Evil Intent defeated DeMarcus & Gray in 10:22 when Hellspawn 666 pinned Nate DeMarcus with The Pit Of Hell following interference from Trix Triumph. Evil Intent make defence number ten of the COTT World Tag Team titles. Rating: 36 Main Event Tag Team Match 30-Minute Time Limit &vs& • The Greatness came out alone for this match, without the rest of Alphaville, although Fforde and Blaze made it clear to their opponents that they were ready to take on the whole group. • The Greatness were clearly the more cohesive team, putting together good strings of double team moves and cutting the ring off, allowing them to wear down Miller Fforde while Blaze was stuck on the ring apron. • At one point Harvey Robbinfield hit Fforde with what looked like a version of Blaze’s Dallas Drop which drew the former Mid Atlantic Champion into the ring, however the referee stepped in to stop him and the distraction allowed Robbinfield and Whitehead to choke Fforde in their corner. • Fforde hit a springboard moonsault on Seth Whitehead and made the tag to Bradley Blaze who came into the ring and cleaned house, hitting big punches and clotheslines on both members of The Greatness. • He tagged in Fforde and the two seemed to be setting up for some kind of double team finishing move on Seth Whitehead, however he ducked out of the way and Bradley Blaze levelled Miller Fforde with a big clothesline that turned him inside-out. • Harvey Robbinfield then took Blaze out of the ring, which allowed Whitehead to lock Fforde in the Minnesota Stretch, and forced the man he will be facing one-on-one at the next show to tap out. • In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Greatness defeated Bradley Blaze and Miller Fforde in 22:05 when Seth Whitehead submitted Miller Fforde with a Minnesota Stretch after Bradley Blaze accidentally struck Miller Fforde. • Harvey Robbinfield was the weak link, struggling to keep up with everyone else's in-ring performance.

Oh jeez I'm really sorry to hear that, I was enjoying your work and would look forward to whatever you decide to do in the future

I think it would be very interesting if Menace, like Sex appeal and Star Quality and such worked differently depending on how over somebody is. If you have 0 popularity maybe the split is the old 60/40 menace to pop ratio, then once you hit say 15 or 20 overness it drops to 40/60 and then at maybe 35 or 40 overness it takes that 25/75 or maybe 30/70 split. So somebody can get over on these kinds of passive skills but if they ever want to be at the top of even a Medium sized company they're going to need strong booking or to bring something new to the table

TopRopeElbow.com: First New Event On Mid Atlantic Wrestling Calendar Following the success of the two-night Rip Chord Invitational the Mid Atlantic Wrestling Twitter has revealed an event taking place in early February titled: Brawltimore. The card has been released and is quite the statement of intent from the company that these shows will be worth the fans' time as this one features a COTT championship match AND a blockbuster main event.

Gotta go with Ontario, both for the fact the company is technically based there, and also since NXT, AEW, MLW and NWA are all companies around IMPACT's size already based in the South East I feel like that area could just get very congested

MAW The Rip Chord Invitational XVI Night 2 Sat, Wk 4, Jan 2021 Attendance: 721 Viewers: 26,709 Opening Match Rip Chord Invitational Quarter-Final Match 1 15-Minute Time Limit vs • Both men receive big ovations from a Baltimore Crowd who seem very happy to have two fan favourites go one-on-one for the first and possibly last time in their careers. • Miller Fforde gets the better of the early exchanges between the two with his superior speed and technical ability, but soon found himself on the receiving end of suplexes and hard strikes from the former SWF legend. • Jungle Lord went for an early Jungle Jack-Hammer but Fforde had it well scouted and countered with a small package for a close two-count. The two squared off in the middle of the ring and shook hands as a sign of respect before laying into each other again. • Jungle Lord whipped Miller Fforde into the ropes but found himself on the receiving end of a springboard moonsault, which allowed Fforde to hit the Fforde Flip Face Crusher and pick up possibly the biggest win of his career. • In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Miller Fforde defeated Jungle Lord in 11:41 by pinfall with a Fforde Flip Face Crusher. Rating: 56 Rip Chord Invitational Quarter-Final Match 2 15-Minute Time Limit vs • Jacobs and Blaze know each other very well, having shared a ring many times over the past six years, and it showed in how fluidly the two wrestled and their ability to counter one another. • Jacobs went for an early Baltimore Backdrop, but Blaze managed to land on his feet and turn Jacobs inside-out with a clothesline. • Blaze then went straight for the Dallas Drop but Jacobs countered into a destroyer which hit with enough force, Blaze’s momentum carried him out of the ring. • Jacobs dragged Blaze back into the ring and then lined him up for a running knee strike, but Blaze dodged at the last second, sending Jacobs crashing knee-first into the turnbuckle. • Jacobs in pain, turned straight into the waiting Blaze who hit the Dallas Drop to advance to the next round to take on Miller Fforde. • In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Bradley Blaze defeated Josh Jacobs in 7:47 by pinfall with a Dallas Drop. Rating: 43 Rip Chord Invitational Quarter-Final Match 3 15-Minute Time Limit vs • Frankie Perez came out for this match heavily taped, with a large bandage covering his head where he was busted open the night before. • Guillotine started the match fast, hitting a big running boot as soon as the bell rang. • The result was a foregone conclusion from there, as Perez valiantly mounted brief flurries of offence but was overwhelmed by the power of his opponent. • In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Guillotine defeated Frankie Perez in 8:22 by pinfall with a Sideswipe Knee. Rating: 49 Singles Match 15-Minute Time Limit vs • Ho Tinh appeared in the ring after the lights went out, avoiding walking down the entrance ramp. • Deuce Deadline mounted more offence in this encounter than many would have expected due to his opponents weakened condition, and “The Nine-Tailed Fox” was on the backfoot for the opening few minutes. • Ho Tinh landed the Dam Lao backfist to turn things around, then peppered Deadline with a series of strikes before hitting the Strong Blockbuster for the win. • In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Ho Tinh defeated Deuce Deadline in 6:03 by pinfall with a Strong Blockbuster. Rating: 30 Rip Chord Invitational Semi-Final Match 1 15-Minute Time Limit vs • The two rivals shook hands before the bell rang and engaged in a traditional collar and elbow tie-up, which allowed Bradley Blaze to take an early advantage thanks to his superior strength. • Fforde fought back into the match with the help of a crowd who were invested in the underdog story of Fforde battling back against the overwhelming offence of Blaze. • Fforde and Blaze kept things clean for the most part, however on the 10-minute mark Blaze caught Fforde with a closed fist and the underdog dropped to the ground clutching his face. After referee intervention it became clear that a gash had opened up above the eye of Fforde. • When the referee had determined Fforde was fit to continue, Blaze went after the head of Fforde, smashing him into the turnbuckles and nailing him with a vicious DDT. • Blaze lifted Fforde onto his shoulders to deliver the Dallas Drop, things appeared to be all over, but Fforde wriggled free from Blaze’s grasp, rolled through and caught Blaze with the rollup for the pinfall and to move to the tournament final. • In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, Miller Fforde defeated Bradley Blaze in 14:04 by pinfall with a quick cradle. Rating: 45 Rip Chord Invitational Semi-Final Match 2 15-Minute Time Limit vs • Cheetah Boy came out fresh for this match having gotten a bye into this round of the tournament, but Guillotine had a handy time with Frankie Perez after the beating delivered by Alphaville on Friday night. • Cheetah Boy tried to weasel his way out of facing Guillotine one-on-one, sliding out of the ring at numerous points and making frequent use of rope breaks. • Once Guillotine got his hands on the veteran, things were very one-sided. Guillotine battered Cheetah Boy around the ring, finishing him off with the Sideswipe Knee. • In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Guillotine defeated Cheetah Boy in 8:08 by pinfall with a Sideswipe Knee. Rating: 34 Tag Team Match 15-Minute Time Limit &vs& • Two Man Riot and Devil May Care stood across from each other as two counterculture pairings looking to become champions in an industry that typically doesn’t revere men like them. • Two Man Riot attacked before the bell and took control for the early portions of the match, working down Acid II with hard strikes and fluid double-team moves. • Acid II managed to fight out of the corner, hitting a big shotgun dropkick on Copperhead and tagged Simon Ice in. • Simon Ice came in and ran riot on their opponents, hitting massive springboard attack on both members of Two Man Riot, then finished things off with the Body Breaker on Trix Triumph. • In a decent match, Devil May Care defeated Two Man Riot in 10:01 when Simon Ice pinned Trix Triumph with a Body Breaker. Rating: 43 Main Event Rip Chord Invitational Final Singles Match No Time Limit vs • Fforde stood across the ring from Guillotine, a man who barely broke a sweat in his first two matches of the night, while Fforde battled hard against one of the biggest names to ever walk into MAW, and the former Mid Atlantic Champion. Fforde’s head was bandaged, and he looked diminutive standing across the ring from Guillotine, but he showed now fear when the bell rang. • Guillotine ran straight through Fforde with a big boot, and ripped the bandage off his head and laid into him with forearm shots to the top of Fforde’s head, and even threw in a closed fist punch to the disdain of the record-breaking 721 people in attendance. • The referee threatened to disqualify Guillotine if he continued with his rule bending so the rest of the match was low on cheating, but the damage done to Fforde left him defenceless for much of the early portions of the match. • Fforde did fight back in, feeding off the crowd he hit his springboard moonsault on the standing Guillotine and then dropped an elbow on the chest of the big man but only got a two-count. • Fforde lifted Guillotine to his feet and went for another springboard moonsault, but Guillotine caught him and hit a powerslam on the smaller man. • Guillotine worked down Fforde with suplexes and boots, even dragging him out of the ring and slamming him into the guard rail, while Fforde’s blood ran down his face, into his eyes, and onto his chest. • Guillotine hit the Sideswipe Knee and things looked to be over, but Fforde had a foot under the rope, showing inexperience from Guillotine, but the nearfall only angered him and made his assault more vicious. • Fforde managed to escape Guillotine’s clutches and drilled him into the mat with a DDT, and then managed to hit the Fforde Flip Face Crusher to win the match and the tournament. • In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Miller Fforde defeated Guillotine in 21:35 by pinfall with a Fforde Flip Face Crusher. Miller Fforde wins the Rip Chord Invitational Challenge. • Guillotine was visibly tiring towards the end. Rating: 46 Show Rating: 45

Semantic “Hey Greg, where are you from?” “New Haven, Connecticut. Why?” “Well, it’s just you wrote down here, on this form where it says “region of residence” that you live in the Tri-state area. But it also says on the reference sheet for this form that the Tri-state area is New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.” Greg sighed and slouched in his chair, filing papers and submitting forms to the government was not how he wanted to spend his Saturday afternoon, especially knowing he had a match the next night, but it wasn’t like he planned to go to the gym. But there was a pint of ice-cream in the freezer calling his name. “Because,” he began, “That form Is wrong. Where exactly would you say Connecticut is again?” Christopher McGrath, the unfortunate soul that offered to help his friend a place to stay between the Friday and Sunday shows, and the only person in the world dumb enough to have offered to help fill out the forms didn’t have an answer. “Exactly! ‘New England’ who do they think they are calling Connecticut a part of New England. You know what they call the Tri-state area? The greater New York area. Do you think Pennsylvania makes up the greater New York area Chris?” “I guess not,” Chris sighed. “You know I really wish you left Deuce Deadline in the ring sometimes, dude” “And I wish you brought Copperhead home! And where’s Brad? I thought he spent time here for shows?” “He’s locked himself up in an AirBNB somewhere. He said he didn’t want to be seen staying in a house with a ‘a coupla heels’.” Greg threw a pile of papers down no Christopher’s coffee table, stood up and walked to the fridge. “You got any of that Texas sweet tea in here?” he asked, head already in the fridge. “Second shelf, near the back. But really Greg you’ve gotta stop drinking that stuff and start hitting the gym, didn’t Jay ask you to shape up a little? You’re not the biggest guy on the roster anymore, and they look better than you. Have you seen the physique on Nate? Now that’s a man.” “Yeah, and I said no.” Greg’s voice came from the back of the fridge. “I’m 28 years old. I’ve been doing this for literally a quarter of my life, I think I’m beyond the stage where I should be ‘shaping up’. Packer isn’t going to come calling, the Eisen’s aren’t coming calling. Solid in the ring, that’s my thing. You want larger than life, call Ho Tinh.” “Okay well, stop stealing my sweet tea and come fill out this paperwork.” “That’s a no-go on the tea little buddy.”

I'm not arguing that women dont retire younger typically in wrestling. And as Derek has now clarified, the issue is systemic, rather than coded into the game "because they're women" which is what I initially thought but was worried was the case. Theres really no point to continuing arguing this because I'm not disagreeing necessarily, but speaking as a woman, the argument "women retire earlier because they're women and it's just what they do" doesnt sit right with me and I would have voiced a lot of unhappiness with the game if it was the case. I feel like theres no point discussing at this stage because my initial suggestion has been dealt with and my suggestion going forward for Adam would be to make the womens wrestling scene in the default database a bit more alive so all of the unemployed veterans dont retire instantly and maybe expand the joshi scene so theres more than 1 company in Japan using women and more than like 15 free agents

Apart from the frankly, nonsensical point you're making here (I dont know any countries with a retirement age that has a particularly big difference between men and women in really any field? Especially under capitalism people of all genders are working later and later into their lives.) This isnt real life. It's a video game. The fact that this video game could allow me to buck a match between Lola Bunny and Batman should maybe reveal that it doesnt have to be true to every minute detail of the social conditions of different retirement ages in wrestling based on gender. Especially given the fact that I dont think having children actually effects anybody's decision to retire in the game.

So what you're saying is the fact that women retire earlier is systemic rather than just a matter of them being women? Good to know my original suspicion is correct, although it does feel weird knowing this is the case and seeing how the womens scene in the cverse has shaped up in 2020

I would always argue gameplay over flavour if you can't make turn the flavour into good gameplay. All three c-verse saves I've started and played through a few months in has seen all of the unemployed AAA veterans retire within 3-6 months, maybe a few stragglers last 12.

I'm going to argue though that women retiring earlier in wrestling is more of a systemic thing than just "women retire earlier". Like Madison Rayne retired at 37 in this save (and Nyla Rose at 40) which is one of the youngest somebody can even begin decline. The game should base retirement on decline and work rather than the "women retire earlier" argument, especially as women's work in the industry becomes more respected in the industry we'll be seeing many more veterans working into their 40s.

This seems pretty interesting, one minor thing is that Jay Fair is referee and Booker for MAW, Marvin Earnest is the play-by-play guy
