Icebound

So far I've had 3 backstage incidents, 2 were people taking on proteges and one was a locker room leader incident with someone being to cocky. Maybe I'll regret saying this when the full game comes out but so far, it doesn't seem all that much diffrent from 2016 in terms of incidents and regularity

For the first match i took some creative license and had Bach goading Chord into a match after he squirmed his way out of a match in December, then like i said previously I booked King of kings in february with the two meeting in the final

One thing I noticed (possibly a game issue rather than the excel) is that some workers are showing up on their contracts with the company I'm playing as whilst others are showing their remaining contracts with other companies. For example I'm playing TCW and have signed Youngman & Wolfsbaine. Both signed on the same day and are yet to debut but Wolfsbaine is showing his TCW contract & perception whilst Youngman is showing his PSW handshake contract and Major Star perception. That aside I really like the look of this & hope to be able to get some good use out of it once the full game comes out. Keep up the good work. Edit: Also just noticed that when comparing workers the Body section of Absence & physical is matching to whatever the 2nd workers body stat is.

Enjoying TCW so far, started with a Wolf & Andrews draw in a (purposely) over booked title match in Jan, RDJ came in as the new 'sheriff' making a cage match with Wolf giving up his Mayhem main event & booking King Of Kings in Feb (Going to move it to Jan in future years) Ended up getting a 99 rated main event and moving up to big in February (not sure if pop gains are a bit overpowered?) Also had Wolf destroy DOC to send a message to Andrews and now in March the Syndicate 'anniversary' will see him kick out The Elite & reform with some young stars. Also had Bach beat Chord, with them meeting & booking ANOTHER!! draw in the King Of Kings final creating a triple threat main event for Mayhem with Andrews, he'll probably maintain but Chord & Bach can have a blow off with Chord finally getting the win over Bach. Long winded, my apologies. What is your best rated match with TCW so far?

Always love playing TCW and as much as they are looking down the barrel, to be honest the fact they survived is good enough for me. I'm really looking forward to both the challenge of survival and building a new pool of stars. I'm not sure what I'm doing with the product so far though. The only thing I've really made concrete so far is signing Ernest Youngman, The American Cobras & Logan Wolfsbaine to be part of the syndicate with Wolf still leading after discarding the others when he failed to regain the title. (Also use Lars-Gunnar Ekberg pic from WMMA5 for Wolfsbaine so now he's my new favourite)

Yeah in the two month demo period I lost 4 grand and 3 grand in jan and feb respectively and thats mainly because I have a expensive road agent way above the level needed for the company size (1'200 per show). 18 months is as stated the minimum as you have a 6 month minimum period before a company can sucumb to debt plus a 12 month grace period...so long as you set the company as created at the start of the game world as that 12 months is based on new companys having 12 months where the bank will over look the debt.

I will be trying this for the first time this year and I gotta say there is something more liberating to tying a career around a in-ring talent rather than an owner. I always played with a user created character as an announcer most often but always with a non in-ring roll. Maybe now I can finally get myself to abandon a company and jump around and just experience a lot of different company situations in one game rather than restarting so as "Not to abandon my home team". Definitely want to play this with the Thunderverse too. Great challenge people, keep the awesome coming.

The intimidating Mikey James. That's new, was Mikey his opponent or...

Just booked TCWs first PPV of the year and holy cow were there alot of people who were not too happy about being left off the show. If i didn't need such a big roster I'd fire them all, complain about being left off shows with no paycheck. No I'm not bitter.

Well right now I'm watching my figure head Rocky Golden effectiveness slowly deteriorate attendances were 10% up, then 8% and now 6%. Merch was 30% then 15% and now 10%. Not sure if I'm booking him awful or if he just doesn't have enough to maintain the level he was initially at...either way it's not looking good. Edit: Also Laurel Wreath just quit SNP after being sexually harassed by Mark Carnie....Oh Boy.
