  1. I planned on doing a post about my involvement with this challenge far earlier but got so invested in my save that I looked up and I was suddenly a week away from Year 3 and I realized that I was going to have a lot to catch up on. My first attempt resulted in failure with the company going bust but it proved to be a great learning curve for me and a good tester for what worked with the company. My wrestler is called Johnny Twilight and while he's not the owner of the company (that is Marco Gonzales) the company is called Twilight Pro Wrestling. In my first run through I made the mistake of not getting my popularity up quick enough. I would take a month off between shows to regen money when I should've been doing weekly shows to get my sponsorship up before levelling things out. The 2nd mistake I made was thinking too small with the wrestlers. While I do want to build up young wrestlers around me, I was focusing too much on guys like Zippy DeVerell and The Silencer as my main talent when for the same price I could get Fro Sure, Davis Wayne Newton, Remmy Skye etc. Thus ensued attempt 2, same company and same wrestler. I took onboard my failures from last time and did weekly shows and with 3 matches a card I kept my roster fresh while building up my character and where I wanted to go. My main event scene from the off was immediately focused upon 3 people and that's the 3 I mentioned above: Fro Sure, Davis Wayne Newton and Remmy Skye. They drove the first year forward and once we started making profit I reached out for other guys to bring in such as the Puerto Rican Boys, The Italian Americans and La Estrella. Davis Wayne Newton was our first dastardly champion and he held that title for over a year and a half before he dropped it to Fro Sure who as of typing is still the champ. My midcard was built a lot around a slowly developing tag division, led forward by the team of Johnny Twilight and Marco Gonzales (yes the owner and booker are multi time champs lol, we carny here). Being in a tag team I think works for me for now to build my skills up and Gonzales works as a good partner to build up stats with as I've always wanted to use him well. They are currently in their 2nd reign as tag champs after winning them back from the Puerto Rican Boys at our first ever "Wrestlemania-Style show" in October. My first roll was for a 50 rated show as Fro Sure and Davis Wayne are money and I rolled a 20 which got me straight Edge and I was buzzed about, incredibly lucky roll to start with My 2nd roll was for a 50 rated match as a fatal 4 way TPW title match against Davis Wayne, Fro and Remmy Skye got us a 51 rating. For that roll I rolled 54 for Internet Sensation which was used on Tony DeWonderful, someone I consider a bit of a pet project in this save. My 3rd and final roll so far was for the 1st year rolling over and I rolled 35, you can dance if you wanna which was another really lucky roll. Idk if I need to post much more like company product or stuff but that's how we're looking as we head into the 3rd year and Im loving this so far

  4. For me it usually ends up being a member of a tag team that's not the one I end up pushing. So I'll bring in a tag team like The Puerto Rican Boys or Devil May Care and after a few years in the tag division I'll want to push my favourites (Acid II/Apollo). This leads to the split of the team in some way and them going their own ways and while one thrives, the other tends to middle out in the Midcard. Sometimes they end up in another team or sometimes they end up losing a bunch until they eventually leave. Stuntman was the worst for it in my current save as I split them up and he would get annoyed at every loss, even if it was to someone on an even popularity field. He ended up actually being useful in the end but he always finds some way to annoy me.

  7. I've had two saves go over 10 years so I have a few from both. Nate DeMarcus-Love the guy, both as a tag wrestler and as a dominating heel main champion. Really fits the MAW style and I love using him every time I do a C-Verse save Frankie Perez-With my first save being CZCW I developed a love for Frankie Perez and was gutted to lose him in that save to a written deal. So when I started a new save with MAW I knew at some point I needed to bring him in and while he's mostly been used as a gatekeeper over two spells for me (He signed with Burning Hammer for 2 years) he's such a great asset. Plus he loves taking wrestlers under his wing which is always useful. Matty Faith-Gutted I never got more time with Faith at MAW but the year and a half I was able to use him was fantastic. Probably the wrestler that left the biggest impression in such a short time for me. Motoyuki Miyake-He's simply a machine. Transitioned perfectly from a tag wrestler to a main event wrestler for me and his story was one of my favourites I did completely. Tigre Salvaje Jr-Pretty similar to Frankie, Tigre was the man I built CZCW off the back off and his four CZCW Title reigns and 2 COTT World Title reigns in 10 years solidified him as the most successful wrestler within that save. Sad I havent been able to use him at MAW but he was so perfect at CZCW I wouldnt want to ruin it
  8. I forgot to even mention the most important part of the year end. On the Night of the Champions show the main event was Christopher Ball retaining his MAW Title against Original Sinner. There was a running theme throughout the show with Commissioner Westybrook's opening promo being interrupted by a debuting Dawn Gemmell. She put the roster on notice and told everyone that this was the beginning of a new "Dawn" for MAW and that this show was where all the change began. She then proceeded to laud it around backstage, first confronting Emma Chase with D.I.B. and mocking them before later approaching Joyce Shearer and inviting her to join her. However, it was the end of the show that really shaped the new era. Following Chris Ball's victory he was joined in the ring by War Piece and Stuntman much in the similar vein to what happened at the end of Where it All Begins Again and they raised him up on their shoulders. However, the MAW Zone was shocked as the two quickly launched Ball across the ring and delivered a beatdown to the leader of their group. Dawn Gemmell made her way down to the ring to join them as the show went off air and the year ended in ultimate chaos...

I'm flying through this save literally faster than I keep updating which is cool because I love being this invested in the save 11 years in but also I love writing about the save and trying to concise an entire year into as short as possible an update proves fairly difficult. This is also my 2nd time writing this as I lost my earlier draft so if it's more rushed thats the issue. Here is the entirety of 2030 in review.</p><p> </p><p> The new decade kicked off in the same way that all Mid Atlantic years do with the Rip Chord Invitational and it very much centered around the two former allies in Bret Heartbreak and Original Sinner. The former MAW and COTT Tag team champions broke up at the Night of the Champions when Sinner hit his tag partner with a lariat. Starting on the opposite sides of the 16 man bracket they battled through everyone in their way to contest each other in the finals of the tournament. After Sinner dispatched of and Bret Heartbreak made it past the two met in the final and despite the best efforts of newfound fan favourite Bret Heartbreak, it was the dominant Original Sinner that won the first Rip Chord Invitational of the new decade.</p><p> </p><p> The main MAW Championship scene was an ever-changing one as the year progressed. As I made a rule that I could only keep Tommy Cornell Jr for the extent of his 3 year contract I had 10 months to tell the stories I wanted to tell with him and to use him to elevate my roster. After winning the title at Where it All Begins Again he once again found himself embroiled in a rivalry with Matt Blackburn, the former champion and a man he had met many times prior, and despite Blackburn having the edge in previous encounters he managed to retain the title at the Wrestling Classic. Now equal in times the two had won against each other Blackburn proposed that the next month the two have a final match once again for the title to which TCJ agreed. However this match would not take place as originally planned when the Rip Chord Invitational winner Original Sinner made his way to ringside before the match and announced he was cashing in his earned title opportunity to make it a triple threat match. In an incredible triple threat match it would be the Original Sinner that shocked the MAW World when he became the new champion. If many were worried that the dominant destroyer was going to run roughshod over the company they were surprisingly mistaken when in his 2nd defence (1st was against Stuntman) against Tommy Cornell Jr, Bret Heartbreak made his first appearance since the Rip Chord Invitational to distract sinner and TCJ took advantage to become a 2 time MAW Champion. Sinner made it his goal to end the career of Bret Heartbreak while TCJ walked into Where it All Begins Again as a departing MAW Champion.</p><p> </p><p> The main story this year revolved around one Christopher Ball. Following the departure of Motoyuki Miyake two years ago, Ball had taken on the leadership of The Knockout Project from his former tag partner but this year was the year that it all began to bubble over into almost a disaster. The year started with tension immediately as newest member War Piece clearly took umbrage to the leadership style of the former boxer. The two came to blows multiple times over the year starting at the Rip Chord Invitational when Ball tried to console War Piece following his loss to Original Sinner only for Piece to tell him that he didnt want to be part of his stupid group. He attempted to reconcile the next month and it looked to be working when the two defeated the Streetz Inc. duo of Paul DeVille and Scott "The Hammer" Hadley but after a tag title loss to The Masters of Money the duo got in a full on brawl and had to be seperated by the other members of The Knockout Project. In an attempt to blow off steam the two wrestled each other the next month with War Piece picking up the victory. It was around this time Chris Ball made it known that he and his wife Lucinda Lush were expecting and with him not getting any younger he was doing anything possible to secure the future for himself and his family. He also started doubting his own abilities and said he doesn't know if he fits with the younger attitude of MAW at the ripe age of 37. The month before the Sam Keith Classic, Chris Ball held a KO Project meeting and everyone laid out there issues and the group came together and all prior issues seemed to be resolved. However, the Sam Keith Classic blew everything up in the air once again. The KO Project entered two teams into the tournament (Edmund/Stuntman and Ball/Piece) and it just so happened that both teams made it too the finals and ended up facing off against each other with Edmund and Stuntman ending up victorious after Stuntman rolled up Chris Ball. Luckily all sides seemed to laugh it off together and raised the trophy as a unit but you could tell how much it hurt Ball. Also, this was Stuntman's third Sam Keith Classic win in 4 years and all with different tag partners (Kamikaze/Ball/Edmund). At the final show before Where it all begins again, there was a The Battle of the Mid Atlantic Battle Royal with the winner going to WIABA to face TCJ and after eliminating half the men in the 10 man match and eventually his alliance partner Stuntman it would be Christopher Ball that picked up the shocking win. At Where it all begins again it's fair to say we saw the cocky side of TCJ with him respecting Ball but saying that it was going to be a customary defence for him whereas Christopher was dedicating the match to his family and also to former Mid Atlantic Champion and his former tag partner Motoyuki Miyake. In further shocking fashion, Chris Ball put up one of the greatest performances in a MAW ring and defeated 'The Future King' to become the MAW Champion for the first time in his career.</p><p> </p><p> Luckily the situations with the American and Tag Team Titles is far less complex. We came into 2030 with Quentin Queen as the American Champion with Streetz as his manager and with Scott "The Hammer" Hadley and Paul DeVille as his bodyguards and he started the year off how he left the last: retaining his title by any means necessary. He defeated Spencer Edmund and Drew Danson in successful defences thanks to Streetz Inc. but Edmund was insistent on getting that title and after defeating Streetz Inc. in a tag match with Stuntman he had them banned from ringside for his rematch and The KO Artists youngest member became the new American Champion. Edmund quickly solidified his position as a future star for this company with the title reign which would continue throughout the entirety of 2030 and saw him successfully defend against the likes of Quentin Queen, Eureka LaBelle and Barron Royal. By the end of 2030 he had 5 successful defences and was heading into 2031 on a high. However, at Night of Champions he was laid out by a mystery assailant who wouldn't be revealed until the next month.</p><p> </p><p> The Tag Titles were in a similar situation where for the majority of the year there weren't any title changes with The Masters of Money (Eureka LaBelle and Nehemiah Loynes) coming into the year as champions and very nearly leaving it as well. They had a solid run throughout the year with defences against D.I.B., Chris Ball and War Piece and Stuntman/Spencer Edmund but their main storyline came against Notorious. Carlos Barrera and Miguel Rivera were released in the middle of the year by CZCW and turned out solid pickups for our tag division but they immediately gunned for the tag titles only for MoM to reject their challenges time and time again. First they asked Notorious to win the Sam Keith Classic before costing them the match with a DQ then they pulled them out of the ring for a number one contendership match until Comissioner Westybrook had to step in and make it official that at WIABA it would be Notorious vs Masters of Money for the titles but in surprising fashion it would be the tag champs that retained. On the same show, one Robin DaLay had a fantastic victory over Matt Blackburn after having a face turn a few months prior alongside his tag partner Ralph Liotta when The Wild West had enough of Blackburn's antics. Eureka LaBelle on the November show made the mistake of antagonizing the wrong man in Robin DaLay and on our final show of the year we would have new tag champions crowned and it would be The Wild West themselves.</p><p> </p><p> Finally, We established a women's division this year with the Breakout Tournament in March being used to introduce 8 women to the MAW Roster. That tournament was won by Talia Quinzel and the veteran proved her worth in the company with a dominant reign over all the lesser experienced women until she came face to face with the woman she met in the first final, Nami Genda, at Where it all begins again. Nami had been on a progression since the tournament with Streetz recruiting her and having her cheat to defeat the majority of the division before finally facing and defeating the champion. Now aligned with Streetz she is looking to rule over the women's division in a similar vein to how Talia Quinzel was able too. Building a womens division from scratch when 90% of the good talent is hard but I've dedicated myself too it now and I believe we'll get there.</p><p> </p><p> It was a pretty decent year for not losing half the roster tbf. The main losses were people we released ourselves (Nelson Callum, Fuego Fantastico and Jackpot Jordan) and we only lost a few names on written deals that I wasn't too annoyed to lose. Tommy Cornell Jr ended up in SWF with his dad and he was joined there by Taylor Norton. Bret Heartbreak signed with USPW and Quentin Queen left us to sign exclusively with NYCW. The only slight dissappointment was that a year ago I brought back Trix Triumph and was hoping to do something with him and make him a decent midcarder but as I started to push him he was signed by ACPW where he's mostly lost.</p>

  12. Right so I got a bit carried away since my last update on this save and it's been about 9 months as I am now in the middle of June in 2030 and an absolute ton has happened. This update will probably be split in two as I close out 2029 and then recap what's happened in 2030 so far. So last time out MAW had just devolved into a warzone with factions ruling the land and fighting for dominance in the company while Commissioner Westybrook could do nothing about it. Following the absolutely insane end to the Fan Festival PPV, faction warfare would be center stage to the Sam Keith Classic with all the 4 major stables in the company (Knockout Project, Rise of the Monsters, The Wild West and The Masters of Money) all throwing their best teams into the tournament to claim the first prize in this "war". The first surprise came in the opening match of the tournament as The Knockout Project (Stuntman and Chris Ball) were set to go head to head with Matt Blackburn and Fro Sure of The Rise of the Monsters. However, making his remarkable return from the movie industry, Austin Smooth would be reunited with his best friend Fro Sure and the Pure Vibes tag team were reunited. They would go on to continue Rise of the Monsters seeming dominance over the company by winning the tournament albeit provoking another team into engaging in the gang war when they cheated to win the final against The Wild West's duo of Ralph Liotta and Robin DaLay. The next month was The Battle of the Mid Atlantic and the show was dubbed the final Warzone as Commissioner Westybrook tried to end the ongoing chaos with a blockbuster 3vs3vs3 main event (If I could there would have been the 4th team of The Wild West in there as well). The main event saw The Knockout Project (represented by War Piece, Christopher Ball and Stuntman) face The Rise of the Monsters (Austin Smooth, Destroyer Logan Wolfsbaine and Bomber James Diaz) and also The Masters of Money (Nehemiah Loynes, Taylor Norton and Eureka LaBelle). So much of the focus on the match was on ROTM and KO Project with the two teams having three former MAW Champions between them and having been pivotal parts of the company for so long now so it came as an immense surprise when plucky youngster Nehemiah Loynes pinned Stuntman in the middle of the ring to win the "Faction Warfare match" following a chair shot to the head while Barron Royal had the referee distracted. The show also featured a bonanza tag match as The Wild West took on the remaining two members of The Rise of the Monsters in the COTT World Champion Fro Sure and the MAW Champion Matt Blackburn with ROTM being victorious. If Westybrook thought the Faction Warfare match would solve hostilities between the stables then he was sadly mistaken. The following month at The Clash the start of the show was once again tarnished by all the factions in the ring together resulting in a huge tag title match that saw Logan Wolfsbaine and James Diaz put their titles on the line against the Masters of Money, The Wild West and The KO Project in a fatal 4 way tag match. Once again much to the surprise of everyone it would be The Masters of Money who took advantage with Nehemiah Loynes once again proving himself an insanely talented deviant as this time he waited for James Diaz to hit his finisher on Ralph Liotta before throwing him out the ring and stealing the pin to claim the titles for himself and Eureka LaBelle. As you can probably tell, I'm high on this Nehemiah Loynes kid and he's delivering after giving him such a huge opportunity. Also on the card we had Fro Sure retain his COTT World Heavyweight Title against Ralph Liotta as well as a huge main event as Matt Blackburn defended his title successfully against the former champion War Piece inside a steel cage. This led in too one of the biggest and most chaotic Where it all begins again shows which was hyped with the tagline of "The Final Day..." as the Faction Warfare would either come to a culmination or it could ruin the company for good. The show started off with a faction rivalry match as longtime rivals Destroyer Logan Wolfsbaine and Christopher Ball went head-to-head one more time but unlike many of the previous encounters, it was Chris Ball who picked up the shock win as the leader of the KO Project got his group off to a fantastic start. Also on the card we had The Deadly Sinners become the new COTT Tag Team Champions (they lost them within a month), Quentin Queen defeated Garry the Entertainer to become the new American champion (Garry got signed one month later by NYCW) and Hans Piccard defeated Bryan Jewett in a strap match before his manager, Emma Chase, decided that he felt the two long time rivals could become a good team and order them to team up in the future. We had another fatal 4 way for the Tag Team Titles but this time the titles wouldnt change hands as Nehemiah and LaBelle successfully defended against James Diaz and Fro Sure, Kamikaze and Spencer Edmund and Ralph Liotta and Nelson Callum. Hollywood superstar had taken time out of his busy schedule to come down for the show again and he issued what he called the biggest open challenge in MAW history which was promptly answered by a fellow former MAW Champ in War Piece and the two had a banger of a match with War Piece prevailing. The shocking part came post match when Austin Smooth shook hands with War Piece, something he hadn't done since his face days over 4 years prior. The main event was a symphony of destruction and warfare as Matt Blackburn put his MAW Title on the line in a 5 way match against Robin DaLay, Stuntman, Taylor Norton and Tommy Cornell Jr. One representative of every faction was present in the main with the odd one out being TCJ who had history with Blackburn and maybe it was this lack of rivalry with the rest that saw him prevail and for the first time in his life reach the top of the mountain as he became the Mid Atlantic Champion. At The Proving Ground, Westybrook ensured that this warfare would go on no longer. He held a town hall meeting to start the show and told each and every one of the roster that if this behaviour were to continue then would fire everyone and build a new MAW Roster from scratch. This seemingly worked as the all out warfare did cool and everyone went back to their own unique rivalries. A few things of note on this show were Mr Lucha III debuting and accepting the open challenge of Fro Sure and taking his COTT World Title in shocking fashion, Quentin Queen retaining his American title against Garry the Entertainer thanks to the debut of Scott "The Hammer" Hadley and the debut of Hans Piccard and Bryan Jewett as a tag team, dubbed by Emma Chase as D.I.B (Do it better). The main thing of note on this show came in the semi main event as Rise of the Monsters (Diaz and Wolfsbaine) challenged to get their tag titles back against Nehemiah and Eureka LaBelle but were unsuccessful once again after Fro Sure seemingly distracted the referee at the wrong time and he missed an obvious three count from Diaz. Following the match the Monsters were fuming and they decided they'd had enough of this and beat the hell out of Fro Sure but quick to make the save for his best friend was Austin Smooth. He battled off his once long time allies and helped his friend back too his feet but it seems the faction of Rise of the Monsters was done! The final show of the year was a pretty monumental one with the main event being one of the most emotional matches in MAW History. Rise of the Monsters would take on their former friends and allies in Pure Vibes in a tag match that had years of history behind it. The main event was fantastic as you'd expect from the four but it was what followed the match (Pure Vibes won) that makes the moment so memorable. Following the match Wolfsbaine grabbed a microphone and said that for the last 10 years he and Diaz ran rough shot over everyone in MAW and held every title there was to hold but now their time was up and they were finally moving on. Austin Smooth then took the title and announced that this would also be the end of the road for Pure Vibes in MAW as the two were parting ways and heading on to pastures new as well. We then had our own curtain call as four pillars of Mid Atlantic Wrestling embraced in the ring before leaving together for the final time in MAW. The reality of the situation was that Wolfsbaine had signed to GSW 6 months earlier and James Diaz signed with Saisho just a few months after but I extended their contracts as I wanted to finish out their story my way. As for Pure Vibes, Austin was off to make movies again and I didn't see the need for him to come back again after as there was nothing more for him to achieve while Fro Sure didn't have the stamina to compete in matches longer than 15 minutes anymore so in MAW fashion he would be moving on to make way for the future of the company. I just love that I had these 4 for the past 10 years essentially and that they all were such incredible parts of what made this save so good. Final smaller things to take away from NOTC were that Robin DaLay and Stuntman did a Spanish Fly through a table following their match and also that The Deadly Sinners were no more after Original Sinner destroyed Bret Heartbreak after losing another tag title match. Both things would have major consequences for 2030...
