<p>NJPW 2018</p><p> </p><p> IWGP Heavyweight: Kazuchika Okada </p><p> IWGP Intercontinental: Hiroshi Tanahashi</p><p> IWGP United States: Kenny Omega</p><p> IWGP: Mexican: Alberto El Patron</p><p> IWGP Junior Heavyweight: Tyler Black</p><p> IWGP Womens: Davina Rose</p><p> IWGP Tag Team: The Young Bucks</p>

<p>Just done the first PPV since stopping the brand split and have to say, it went pretty well!</p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/c8cdf66f5c7128db065de473f9e6ef49" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/c8cdf66f5c7128db065de473f9e6ef49</a></p><p> </p><p> - Strowman/Wyatt aren't feuding, but something tells me that maybe I should have the feud to eventually turn Bray face.</p><p> </p><p> - The Bullet Club is led by Styles/Omega, so while AJ is feuding with Balor over the MITB Contract, Omega will be feuding with Cena, because dream match I guess. I might have Balor turn before he cashes the MITB Contract in and have him lead BC though.</p><p> </p><p> - Big E turned on kofi and christened himself Edward Langston. Meanwhile Xavier Woods only just returned after the sex scandal, went in NXT for a while and came out as a heel, revealing that he was the person that made Edward turn on his friend Kofi, leading to this match.</p><p> </p><p> - Perfect Tens are Dillinger/Hennig, and they work well together so it's really useful. Wrestling Kings might be unstoppable!</p><p> </p><p> - Since leaving the Cruiserweight Division, Neville set his sights on Jeff Hardy and the Intercontinental Title. He won it from him and then that was his first defence. Looking for a good long reign for the King of the....IC scene?</p><p> </p><p> - Looking to start a CM Punk v Jeff Hardy storyline going into Summerslam. It's pretty much going to be a rehash of their old feud, straight edge etc etc, but they have had good chemistry in the past so it might be good.</p><p> </p><p> - King Rusev can't be stopped! I have a feeling a new WWE Champion will be crowned at Summerslam, but who could it be!</p><p> </p><p> - King Of The Ring is coming up next and whoever wins it will face Rusev at Summerslam</p>

<p>So I was just casually checking my roster just before booking wrestlemania and I saw this:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/0f3ddad1e8011313614a00ea475cc800" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/0f3ddad1e8011313614a00ea475cc800</a></p><p> </p><p> I did not realise he was this over! My plan for him is to either lose the title or vacate it as he thinks he's too good for it. I'd also like him to be drafted to Raw so I can have Neville v Jeff Hardy for the IC Title <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Edit:</p><p> I got this for my Wrestlemania Hype Special, which is kinda like a house show, hyping for the next days Mania</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/e8a48b3374455def6fa981cb71f8c534" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/e8a48b3374455def6fa981cb71f8c534</a></p><p> </p><p> Edit 2:</p><p> Wrestlemania 34!</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/bfc280ad99dbb230983235d524050626" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/bfc280ad99dbb230983235d524050626</a></p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/b1dc584817f3ecee4ba6c40bdacb447c" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/b1dc584817f3ecee4ba6c40bdacb447c</a></p><p> </p><p> Really disappointed with the Main Event, although maybe the entrance video stuff shouldn't be spammed.</p><p> The Mexican Sensations are Alberto Del Rio and Arturo Gonzalez (Rush). </p><p> Really happy with the 90 matches, Sasha/Rousey & Neville/Aries I honestly didn't expect to be THAT good.</p>

I have no idea what to do with him though. He's currently on Smackdown and issuing 'BOpen Challenges' each week, then getting beaten up by Upper Mids/Main Eventers. Any idea what I should do with him? I'd like for him to be a solid top guy in a few years.</p>

<p>Stephanie McMahon is the Authority in a new WWE Womens Show on Wednesday called... Womens Wednesday xD. She just formed a stable with Charlotte & Natalya, soon to be Tessa Blanchard too. They're just wrestling royalty believing that they should be the top people in the division. Sort of like a female version of Legacy in a way. </p><p> </p><p> I'm not very good with naming teams/stables so I'd like some suggestions for the stable name and maybe even the womens show please xD Right now it's just 'The Queendom' but I'm not sure if that sounds good or not <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Thats a really good storyline plan! I'm looking to get Stu Bennett back in too, so he could somehow be linked into it. As for cruiserweights on Raw, Aries was doing an open challenge for a few months, because he's been unbeaten on Raw, while the other cruiserweight, Kalisto, wasn't doing much of note. I also had Rich Swann and Mistico (Original) in a team because they had excellent chemistry, but Mistico kept on doing stupid shit backstage so eventually I fired him and Rich Swann moved to Smackdown. </p><p> </p><p> As for people I'd like to build the Cruiserweight title around, there's a few. Aries and Neville are the top 2 right now, but people like Gargano, Ospreay & Ricochet can be leading stars there too. Maybe Kota Ibushi even too. Aries and Neville I also want to be Main Eventers in the future and get a Smackdown World Title run sometime down the line.</p>

<p>I'm at a bit of a tricky situation when it comes to Neville and the Cruiserweight Title. So far Neville has pretty much defended it against everyone on the Smackdown roster (It's a SD Only Title, just like the Womens Title on Raw) and has 17 defences going into 2018. Now, I have a Cruiserweight Classic PPV coming up in February and the winner gets a shot at the Cruiserweight title at Wrestlemania, but I was originally only having it be Smackdown guys. I have a few good cruisers on Raw, including Austin Aries/Kalisto. </p><p> </p><p> I think I might have Aries win the Cruiserweight Classic 2018, and then face Neville for the title, but apart from Aries no-one else is on the 'Neville Level' so to speak. Do you think I should have the CC open to both brands? That way I guess Aries could win it and then maybe if the Raw Superstar wins the title, they will be drafted to Smackdown. I'm still not entirely sure though.</p>

<p>I've just gotten to December, Survivor Series was probably the biggest Event so far!</p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/4c30ce5fb3cdbb6e65aae23ee25cbe83" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/4c30ce5fb3cdbb6e65aae23ee25cbe83</a></p><p> </p><p> Dean Ambrose costed Team Smackdown the Survivor Series Match by turning on John, if that wasn't clear enough. I finally ended the Punk v Nakamura feud, and started one between Cena and Ambrose, which might end at Royal Rumble, or Wrestlemania. Bray didn't defend his title because he was in the match, but he will defend it twice this month, once at Smackdown Only PPV Judgement Day and the next is in the Elimination Chamber match at Elimination Chamber, the event that airs on the last sunday of 2017. Not sure about the opponents, but right now it's looking like it'll be Wyatt v Strowman at JD and Wyatt v Strowman v Cena v Ambrose v Punk v Nakamura at EC.</p><p> </p><p> In other Smackdown News, Derrick Bateman, fresh from Impact Wrestling, will be coming to Smackdown Live. He's going to start an 'World Against Me' storyline where he thinks everyone hates him because he left WWE, when really they don't care. The first person will be Sami Zayn because he's ok with putting people over that are decently over. Colin Cassady also turned heel, and now has Eric Bischoff as his mouthpiece. Not long until he targets the top guys. Neville is still going strong as the cruiserweight champion, and the plan is for him to lose it at Mania, either to Ricochet or Austin Aries (If Aries moves to Smackdown). </p><p> </p><p> On the Raw side of things, I have a great womens division, so much so that I decided next year there will be a Womens Tag Team Title Tournament that ends at Mania. Asuka debuted and it will be Banks v Asuka at Raw Only PPV TLC, then the winner will defend it inside the Elimination Chamber. That match will feature some of (Recently returning) Paige, Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte, Alexa Bliss, Bayley, Peyton Royce, Billie Kay, Emma, Natalya, Ember Moon, Ashley Lane, Dana Brooke, Mickie James, Talia Madison, Melissa or Havok.</p><p> </p><p> Dash Wilder was injured, thats why the Raw Tag match wasn't for any title. He'll be back for TLC though, so it's The Revival v The New Day at TLC....or it was until Kofi Kingston got injured for 27 days. This means I might have to leave the Revival/New Day until Rumble and have them against American Alpha instead. A new Mexican Star, going by the name of Arturo Gonzalez, is coming to Raw. He's Rush, but I thought I might use a better WWE Name than Rush, it doesn't sound very Main Eventerish to me, and I plan on him being a big part of the future. </p><p> </p><p> Next year the Cruiserweight Classic comes to WWE, in February, and will feature two days of qualifying before the Finals in February. The winner will face Neville for the Cruiserweight Title at Mania, so it is a big deal for the Cruiserweights. Not sure how well it will do in ratings though, but the same can be said for the WWE Tag Team Classic, the WWE King Of The Ring and the WWE Womens Invitational. </p><p> </p><p> This is pretty fun right now! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Just done Smackdown-Only PPV No Mercy in my WWE Save and I have to say it's going well and I'm having fun too!</p><p> </p><p> Highlights of the show include:</p><p> </p><p> The Tag Opener:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/e99c5d54cdba7b6d55da05c76213ba6b" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/e99c5d54cdba7b6d55da05c76213ba6b</a></p><p> </p><p> - The match was carried by Cesaro as he's easily the best out of them all, but it was a far better match than I expected.</p><p> </p><p> Punk v Nakamura:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/daafa2f3dc970e38a745834680d671a4" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/daafa2f3dc970e38a745834680d671a4</a></p><p> </p><p> - Punk v Nakamura was always going to be good, I knew that, but it was Punks first match back, so it was pretty good.</p><p> </p><p> Roode v Zayn:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/621fee9bd3ee046c892f8a95322cbf14" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/621fee9bd3ee046c892f8a95322cbf14</a></p><p> </p><p> - Slightly dissapointing compared to the other two, but a good match nonetheless. Roodes second PPV win as his hot streak is continuing.</p><p> </p><p> Joe v Balor:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/eae9870bcff2c0dca2b770a07fe6091e" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/eae9870bcff2c0dca2b770a07fe6091e</a></p><p> </p><p> - The Feud is doing well. Balor won the opener, Joe got pissed and beat him up afterward. Joe then wins this match to set up next months feud ender at HIAC.</p><p> </p><p> Lesnar v Ambrose:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/3b58ac8c103cc13a06f6e2231cb02b03" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/3b58ac8c103cc13a06f6e2231cb02b03</a></p><p> </p><p> - Lesnar debuts on his first Smackdown PPV since losing the Universal title. He had an open challenge which was accepted by Ambrose. I might make a return match at HIAC because it seems like a goods match for the Smackdown side of things.</p><p> </p><p> WWE Title Match:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/01646096a27fe1965e05a12fa4cbd7bd" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/01646096a27fe1965e05a12fa4cbd7bd</a></p><p> </p><p> - Thank God this feud is ending! Wyatt does well in promos but never really steps it up in the ring, same can be said for Cena. It's going to be a bloody battle at HIAC to end the feud, not sure which way it'll go though.</p><p> </p><p> Full Show:</p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/86ca9bf01cd2cfb013db2e6e978fbe1a" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/86ca9bf01cd2cfb013db2e6e978fbe1a</a></p><p> </p><p> - The Rock is the Smackdown General Manager, Shane made him the GM after Bryan announced that he's getting ready to return to the ring in 2018, plus to compete with Raw and Kurt Angle.</p><p> </p><p> Hell In A Cell should be a good show, with a few repeat matches to end feuds, plus the RAW side of things too!</p>

So I was wondering how much having good road agents effects developments. As an example, would hiring lots if legends with good Psychology/Mic Skills etc help workers training there get better in them aspects faster, or doesn't it really help?

Zayn became a two time champion after defeating Kevin Owens at Fast Lane, defeating the man who ended his first reign in minutes due to Money in the Bank. It wasn't without controversy as both KO's running partner Chris Jericho and his ally Triple H stuck their nose where they shouldn't have, but RAW General Manager Mick Foley made things right, help Zayn leave with the Universal title. Due to this, tension between Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and Foley are at an all time high. The following night on RAW, Steph was with Mr McMahon and Triple about to fire Foley when Director of Talent Initiatives and Brand Expansion, Eric Bischoff, suggested a 5 vs 5 Winner Take All Match at Wrestlemania. Triple H will lead Team Steph with Jericho, Ethan Carter III, Batista and Samoa, while the likes of Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Katsuyori Shibata, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns volunteered for Team Foley. <em>Who will leave Wrestlemania with control of RAW?</em></p><p> </p><p> Two truely deserving contenders faced off at Fast Lane for the #1 contendership, where Finn Balor defeated Adam Cole. With the controversy at Fast Lane, Balor will join Zayn and Owens in a fatal three way for the WWE Universal Title at Wrestlemania! The year prior, Balor defended the same title and defeated Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura. <em>Will history repeat itself?</em></p><p> </p><p> AJPW Triple Crown champion Shinsuke Nakamura is now feuding with then-WWE Cruiserweight champion Kenny Omega who claimed Nakamura left Japan to avoid Omega. Nakamura defeated Omega at Fast Lane by DQ due to interference from Smackdown's AJ Styles, but the next night on RAW, Nakamura cost Omega his Cruiserweight title to Cedric Alexander, who will now be the face of the division. <em>Will Nakamura be able to continue to fend off Bullet Club as he defends his title?</em></p><p> </p><p> Ricochet & Will Ospreay remain Tag Team champions, fending off Gallows & Anderson at Fast Lane, but now face the challenge of the latter team, Motor City Machine Guns and Sheamus & Rusev heading into Wrestlemania. <em>Can the duo retain the titles on the biggest stage of them all?</em></p><p> </p><p> Big E regained his US Title off The Miz despite Miz's efforts to retain the title on numerous occassions thanks to Maryse and his new alliance with The Prime Time Players. <em>Will they settle it for good at Wrestlemania?</em></p><p> </p><p> Nia Jax continues her dominant Women's title reign but will face Sasha Banks, Bayley, Candice LeRae, Paige and Alexa Bliss at the Show of Shows. <em>Will her run continue?</em></p><p> </p><p> CHAMPIONS: Universal - Sami Zayn (2); United States - Big E (2); Tag Team - Ricochet & Will Ospreay; Women's - Nia Jax; Cruiserweight - Cedric Alexander; AJPW Triple Crown - Shinsuke Nakamura (3).</p><p> </p><p> <span style="color:#00BFFF;"><strong>SMACKDOWN</strong></span></p><p> After a successful inaugural Lethal Lottery, the team of John Cena and Kazuchika Okada won the tournament, defeating Dolph Ziggler & Jeff Hardy in the final. Cena made it known to Okada that he was opting for the WWE World title shot, so the two faced off to open Fast Lane with Okada pulling off an upset. Okada would go on to a 99 rated match with Bray Wyatt later in the night but come up short. Bray Wyatt now goes to Wrestlemania's main event to defend against Royal Rumble winner, The Rock! <em>Can Wyatt overcome The Rock once again or will he fall on the grandest stage?</em></p><p> </p><p> Cena, looking to redeem himself, will now challenge Okada for both the GHC Heavyweight and W-1 Heavyweight titles at Wrestlemania, the latter of which he previously held, however former 2 and 3 time holder of each belt respectively, AJ Styles, made it known he wants both titles back. <em>Who will walk out of Wrestlemania a double champion, Styles, Okada or Cena?</em></p><p> </p><p> The drama between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk continues. After weeks of being denied his "rightful" WWE World title shot, Punk took it out on members of the Smackdown roster and eventually challenge Daniel Bryan to a match for his title shot. Knowing full well Daniel Bryan can't complete, Shane McMahon stepped in and accepted the challenge and faced Punk at Fast Lane. Punk would overcome McMahon but post-match lay a beat down on McMahon until Daniel Bryan finally accepted for a match at Wrestlemania! Bryan's uncertainty over his condition even saw Daniel try to orchestra a trade with RAW at the recent King of Trios tournament but Foley didn't want that trouble on his brand (not sure if Steph felt the same way, who could have fleeced Punk off Smackdown for cents on the dollar, despite her feelings towards Punk). <em>Will Bryan gear up for Wrestlemania or will Punk expose Bryan for what he has become?</em></p><p> </p><p> After a successful defense of the Intercontinental title by Cody Rhodes against his Lethal Lottery partner Dean Ambrose, Rhodes heads into Wrestlemania and will look forward to a ladder match with Ambrose, Jeff Hardy, Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Drew McIntyre. <em>Can Cody keep the defenses going or will Bullet Club step in and help him out?</em></p><p> </p><p> After avoiding a challenge from Lethal Lottery winners Cena and Okada, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan walk into Wrestlemania Smackdown Tag Team champs but will be faced with more than suitable challengers. American Alpha finally rid themselves of The Young Bucks in a 99 rated show stopper and will now challenge for the titles. However, two more teams lay claim to the titles in Beer Money Inc and Cesaro & Kassius Ohno. Bobby Roode & Ohno were teamed together in the Lethal Lottery, falling short to Cena & Okada in the final four, but both have gathered their normal partners and look to build on that success when they challenge the Wyatts at Wrestlemania.</p><p> </p><p> Tyson Kidd is your new GHC Junior Heavyweight champion, defeating former champ Caristico and now-former-WWE United Kingdom champion Neville at Fast Lane. <em>Will Caristico challenge for the title at Wrestlemania or will a new challenger step up?</em> In other news, Charlotte remains Smackdown Women's champ but the likes of Asuka and Becky Lynch are nipping at her heels.</p><p> </p><p> CHAMPIONS: World Heavyweight - Bray Wyatt; Intercontinental - Cody Rhodes (3); Smackdown Tag Team - Erick Rowan & Luke Harper; Smackdown Women's - Charlotte (2); GHC Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; W-1 Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; GHC Junior Heavyweight - Tyson Kidd.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>OTHER WWE UNIVERSE HAPPENINGS</strong></p><p> In events out of my control, Killian Dain defeated Neville for the WWE United Kingdom title at WPL Attack 18 (The monthly event of my Japanese developmental brand). The former Big Damo had just dropped the WWE PROGRESS Intercommonwealth title in PROGRESS (Another WWE brand), to non-WWE contracted talent James Davis, and was moved to WPL with a new name in preparation of his eventual move to the main roster post-Wrestlemania. Dain now looks like he'll be coming to the main roster with some gold over his shoulder.</p><p> </p><p> A three night tournament has just taken place to crown the first-ever WWE Six Man Tag Team Champions! The tournament was held in conjunction with the former CHIKARA promotion, which was taken over by WWE, and saw 16 three-man teams compete to add to the legacy of the King of Trios tournament! Teams were permitted to be inter-brand, so stars from RAW, Smackdown and developmental were able to make a team and enter. Day 3 saw the semi finals of The Shield (Ambrose, Reigns, Rollins) defeated by The Club (Styles, Gallows, Anderson) thanks to members of Team Steph interferring. The other semi final saw the team of CHAOS (Nakamura, Okada, Ospreay) defeat The Dream Team (Omega, Matt Jackson, and Adam Cole replacing an Nick Jackson, who was injured at Fast Lane) to prevent an all-Bullet Club final. That didn't stop the Biz Cliz claiming the titles as The Club defeated CHAOS thanks to an attack from Omega on Nakamura, and preventing CHAOS from adding to their collection of gold.</p><p> </p><p> WWE have severed ties with developmental brand Florida Championship Wrestling and created a new touring brand, Power of Wrestling. FCW have greatly benefited from their airing on the WWE Network but must now go it alone with a new roster but still with Cary Silkin in charge and Rikishi booking. The new POW brand will start very small in local markets, booked by Shane Douglas, but will see them bring in talent from other promotions to tour with the brand, along with those in the lower rungs of WWE's developmental system.</p><p> </p><p> WWE have also announced the acquisition of both EVOLVE and PWG, which both will cease operations immediately. Like with CHIKARA, WWE will present one-off WWE Network specials as a final goodbye to both promotions' fans and to honour their legacy that lives on in WWE. One of the main driving forces behind the PWG purchase was the acquisition of the Battle of Los Angeles tournament and history, which will still be held yearly in September.</p><p> </p><p> In other developmental news, Taurus aka Gran Guerrero has left CMLL and joined the ASTROS promotion (my Mexican developmental brand) and has joined up with Ultimo Guerrero, who just dropped the WWE Super Astros World title to Gran Metallik. Other signings to the WWE Universe include Shane Strickland and Jonathan Gresham, who will join the main NXT developmental brand, and a number of female Japanese stars to help strengthen the WPL's Joshi division. WPL are also happy to announce that Milano Collection AT has signed with WWE and will join Steve Corino at the announce booth for WPL in the coming weeks.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> This sounds like a really interesting save!

If I were changing a company from a Pop > Perf to a Perf > Pop, what differences are there? Like, how does a performance company find the Main Eventers, upper mids etc of the roster? Is it still mainly based off of pop or will the best wrestlers be the ones that get the top spots etc?

<p>I think I might have to start 'trimming the fat' too as WWE. I stopped the brand split in 2018 due to getting 'bored' I guess of it. But I have a plethora of talent that I really don't use, but either keep around because I like them IRL or they are a mentor to someone etc.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/a1ee6ec8e74bca166d82832635b2911f" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/a1ee6ec8e74bca166d82832635b2911f</a></p><p> </p><p> That's my main event scene, and I really do struggle to get them all on even a 3 hour Raw every week. I have no clue who I should get rid of though.

I just finished Wrestlemania 35, and there were a few surprise matches that I thought did better than I expected! https://gyazo.com/0cd0f036f58ed7dc3707186e881048c8 Not that these women can't go, but I thought the more there were, the worse the match might be. Also yeah Rousey in pretty much our top Woman right now! https://gyazo.com/a01d8449d5e0f3102956b6ae4b2505ce Now they are both GREAT Wrestlers, but I never expected this to be our best match Ever! The Full show was good too! https://gyazo.com/507c1633dfa5830b7aae4a6bd2ed6340 https://gyazo.com/f0e932c2f14f552fa7fb6f83b8f47f28

<p>Been playing a game as ROH in 2017, and so far its been pretty fun. Marty Scurll has just destroyed the TV Title, all because of the fans loving him with it. Sabre Jr came in to try and stop him, but was unsuccessful. </p><p> </p><p> I hired Kurt Angle, mainly to start as a Road Agent, but then he ended up being the On-Screen Mentor of Matt Riddle. Talking of Riddle, he's progressing nicely and has become the International Champion (Think the IC Title of ROH) after beating the first IT Champ Dalton Castle. Angle has been putting on good matches against the likes of Cody Rhodes, Mike Bennett and Adam Cole himself, eventually Riddle will turn on him and set up for a Riddle v Angle 60 minute Ironman match.</p><p> </p><p> Adam Cole is the ROH Heavyweight Champion, beating Kyle O'Reilly in January and is still the champ (it's may right now). Eventually I'll have him lose the title, although to who I don't know. There's always a possibility of Angle v Cole II being for the title, but other newcomers EC3, Bobby Roode and Ryan Reeves could get title shots. There's also people like Jay Lethal, Chris Hero and Christopher Daniels too. </p><p> </p><p> In the Tag Division, The Young Bucks started the game as champs, and haven't lost their titles yet. The Hardyz recently left, so up next will be The Briscoe Brothers. The Tag Division is pretty solid, with RPG Vice, Beer Money, reDRagon, The Bravado Brothers, Sydal & Ricochet, War Machine, The Juicy Product, Catchpoint, Addiction, Pretty Boy Killers, American Wolves</p><p> and All-Night Xpress making the division the best in the world (atleast IMO).</p><p> </p><p> In terms of Protoges, Kevin Sullivan took both Colby Corino & Trevor LEe under his wings, Kurt Angle decided to mentor David Starr and Christopher Daniels is helping Brandon Tate, one of Daltons Boys.</p><p> </p><p> This will be interesting!</p>

<p>Just got my best current match rating... at a throwaway Smackdown show.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://gyazo.com/5351ae7d73f7c44257cb84eaa1ae7c8b" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/5351ae7d73f7c44257cb84eaa1ae7c8b</a></p>

Should be a good time for matches in NJPW</p>

<p>I have two ideas for The Authors Of Pain, but not sure which one to go with, so what sounds better to you? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Basically, they both involve them being part of a sort-of mini-stable. </p><p> </p><p> Option One: Team them with Punk/Heyman and have them be the bad ass enforcers for both Punk and Heyman (Although Heyman already has Lesnar for that anyway). Punk isn't doing that much right now in 2018, and having him 'Tutour' these young people might help.</p><p> </p><p> Option Two: Team them with Bully Ray. Ray recently came back, and after a feud with Ziggler, he won the 2018 Money In The Bank match. I aim to give him a WWE Title run and they can be the enforcers to help him.</p><p> </p><p> I really like both ideas, leaning slightly towards number two. I just wanted your opinion on it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I have WrestleMania coming up in two weeks and I feel like I'm not completely satisfied with the card that I've set up for it. Mainly because currently it looks like many (and I do mean MANY) big names are going to miss it because there's just simply no room for them other than Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, which I wouldn't want to fill with main event names necessarily. So my question to you, fellow bookers is what you think is the ideal number of matches for a 4 hour PPV? I currently have 11 + 2 pre-show matches, last year's Mania had 10 and I think it still wasn't too much and I had room for a lot of filler segments as well. What I've done so far is that I actually made one title match go from a singles match to a Fatal 4 Way to get a couple of more guys in but I don't feel like doing that to many matches since it would seem like too many multi-man matches.<p> </p><p> And just so you could get a grasp of what I'm dealing with, here's a list of some of the names that have yet not been booked:</p><p> Roman Reigns</p><p> Dean Ambrose</p><p> Seth Rollins</p><p> Drew McIntyre</p><p> Randy Orton</p><p> Bray Wyatt</p><p> Shinsuke Namakura</p><p> Samoa Joe</p><p> The Miz</p><p> Sami Zayn</p><p> Bobby Roode</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I always feel the same going into Mania, and personally I don't think it matters how many matches are on the card since it's the biggest show. If you still don't have anything for people, then I tend to stick a few of them in a 4v4 or 5v5 match with the winning team getting title shots sometime this year etc, or maybe just the person who gets the pinfall. I'd do a Shield reunion too, depending on what disposition they're all at. Just a few ideas <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>I just resigned Edge & Christian, among others, to new deals in 2017. It's about to head into 2018 with the WWE and I don't really know what I want them both to do, but I just knew I'd like them around. Christian makes a good road agent, and he's the best road agent on the ECW brand right now (I went back to a 3-way brand split because there are way too many good top guys for two brands imo). I would be open to other ideas with him though, and with Edge. Right now I'm thinking he could become Raw GM and make John Cenas life a living hell, but right now anything can happen really. </p><p> </p><p> Thanks for any input <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
