Cro Cop Rules

<p>Historian, I've been lurking on this thread for a very long time, but I don't think I've gotten the chance to ever post comments in here. I just wanted to say that this is my favorite dynasty on the forum. You make so many characters come to life that usually don't have a part in CVerse dynasties. Jebediah would be proud <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> The Rick Law signing is exciting! How does his overness relate to the top guys in the company? It's cool that you can add a star from elsewhere to the main event scene of guys that you personally built up. He's a natural opponent for Torment as well. </p><p> </p><p> Also, I love the latest RDJ update. It reminds me of an excerpt from Bret Hart's book. Good stuff. It would be interesting to see some narratives from people we haven't heard from before, someone like Pearl Flanders or Leon Pena. The dojo graduates are definitely intriguing to me. Keep up the good work!</p>

Does anyone have a bulletproof strategy on how to keep TCW at national? I would rather not sign Marat or change the product to Pop > Performance. I know investing in young talent is key, and moving to USA Sports 1 is a move that has its benefits. I've seen a ton of people who have had no difficulty keeping TCW afloat, while others struggle. I'm just curious to see what strategies are out there!
