<p>Started a new save with SWF, and the worst case scenario has happened. Jack Bruce is well into time decline, and 8 years past his prime. I am sticking with the initial storyline with The Crippler, probably through the first 2 PPVs. Hoping that by the second match I will have The Crippler's popularity up enough to have him win the blow off. After that, I am hoping to have him pass the torch at Supreme Challenge in a retirement match to a new figurehead.</p><p> </p><p> Any ideas for something for him to do in the mean time? Afterwards I may move him to commentary, as he has some skill in that regard.</p>

I was playing around with Thunderverse Diamond and ran into something I haven't had happen before. During the 3rd match of the best of five series, that's already tied up at 1 a piece in the data, between Garrett South and Derrick Rollins, South botched a move. Rollins can still work, but his performance will be hurt by the injury (herniated disk) for over a year. So I decided I was goina end the series at the PPV with South winning and then put Rollins on vacation for awhile. South and Rollins dislike each other now, but will still work together. Well, in match 4, Rollins botched a move right back and now South has Achilles tendonitis and will also have his work effected for over a year. The two now hate each other. Was this a revenge botch? Is that even a possibility?

Then at the first event VIP debuted by becoming a late entrant into the match between Johansen and Hurculez and won. Next week they debuted the stable and went after Cloud James because he wasn't "star material", VIP won the title, lots of potential for further storylines.</p>

Not sure if it did anything to TV or not.</p>

Sabre and Perkins are in the Cruiserweight classic under those names already too, so changing them would bother me, but if it doesn;t bother you I understand.</p>

<p>I am currently building a heel stable in SWF with the intent of introducing Spencer Spade and pushing Paul Huntingdon because he needs to have atleast 78 overness according to my owner goals and I never push him ever. </p><p> </p><p> Right now the Stable is going to include Huntingdon, Spade and The Awesomeness. But, sadly, I am struggling with a name. Any suggestions for name or additional members?</p>

Are there any rerenders or alts of KC Glenn out there? I've just signed him to TCW and I plan to tag him with Kirk Jameson for awhile before breaking him off solo as "The Giant Killer" and having him takedown the likes of Titan, Killer Shark, American Buffalo, Eddie Peak and eventually Marat Khoklov as part of a huge push. Sadly, I am not a huge fan of the picture included in the data, and I can't seem to find much else to work with.

Still, he is someone I wouldn't have to establish and he is only just entering decline, so it shouldn't be much of a killer just yet. Plus that alt is The Slam.</p>

<p>I am starting a save with SWF using the default database, and I am looking for someone to use a televangelist gimmick (definitely as a heel). Basically they don't have to be great in the ring, but they need to have good mic skills. I plan to use them to bring in The Mission a little later on and eventually have them i tag title contention. I am seriously considering Drake Young, but he almost feels a little to comedic for what I am looking for. </p><p> </p><p> Any suggestions on a worker who would fit my purpose? Most work (mostly promos, initially) would likely be done on a B-show.</p>

I want to push Dynamic Duo (Matt Hocking and Kirk Jameson) and maybe another tag team (though in reality I'm just trying to find a way to push Nelson Callum up the card a bit) but I already have some good utility guys who are on Negative momentum and upset. Should I sacrifice those guys to get the people I want over?

They are Dean Waldorf and Marv Statler in NYCW. American Cobras in Costal Zone and Syd Collier/Cameron Jones in MAW are also awesome. I also like to agree pair up Fox Mask and Masked Cougar because their schticks pair naturally and can have really good matches barring bad chemistry. Good fit in TCW too.</p><p> </p><p> But my favorite tag team available this year is Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Findlay O'Farraday, who are working in Japan as American Demolition. Two big guys who have some get up and go.</p>

<p>The CGC roster has always bored me, but a game with them with Steve DeColt as the user (either as Booker or owner) could he fun. Steve comes back and saves the day. That sort of thing. Doesn't hurt that he is my favorite character in the C-verse, probably. </p><p> </p><p> Booking him as a heel against Alex and the established faces could be fun as well. Maybe bring some young guys with him to form a stable and rebuild some of the mid-card.</p>

I called Finn Balor up, and he has been working with his protege Becky Lynch on Psychology during his first 3 shows. Raised her from 72-78 psych in 4 days! I already like pushing Lynch, but now I absolutely have to, right?

I know Valiant and Rogue used to be a team, but does anyone know what they were called? I have vague plans on a face turn for Rogue, and re-teaming them for the eventual big "redeeming" moment seems natural. I am thinking maybe afew months where Rogue cuts promos apologizing to Valiant, maybe saving him from a few unfair attacks, sacrificing himself to save him, etc, before a heel authority figure (Eric Eisen?? Any other ideas??) books the two to face off against each other at SC. Then, in the match they refuse to fight each other, so the Authority Figure sends Marat down as a mid or late entry and Rogue completes his turn by sacrificing himself to take out Marat allowing Valiant to get the pin. This would start a new fued between Valiant/Rogue and Authority/Marat that would hopefully elevate Valiant to huge popularity and give me another legit main event face in Rogue. Any thoughts? Normally I would love RDJ for the heel authority role, but he is 45 now and I don't like editing contracts down for signings. Something about the big Texan just screams killer heel authority figure to me though.
