<p>I'm going to go off-book a bit here, but what about Lethal Ring?</p><p> </p><p>
The canon fits, with old versions of the game starting them with, I think, $5 mil in the bank, and I believe the style is close enough. It would make sense for Pee Wee to hop in when he hears about a subsidy being paid to a wrestling start-up, and kicking in his own cash too.</p><p> </p><p>
As a play option, it would be flexible enough even if you don't kick up the popularity or momentum at all, letting you invest in the GDL Sports Network (the network name I used in an old MAW game when he took over after Sam Keith died), or if you just want to rest on a nest egg and weather some losses.</p><p> </p><p>
As far as why Hawaii would be interested in investing in a potentially touring company, just add a monthly minor event (L-Ring House Party, perhaps) with a fixed location in Hawaii. "You can go out and do what you want, but you need to run at least once a month in the islands".</p><p> </p><p>
He doesn't really fit as the Cody analogue, but what about Clark Alexander as a hybrid Cody/Jericho/Mox? He's at the upper end of what L-Ring can hire when they form in the game, and it would fit that he wants to come back home to bring a local company to national status. Edit his sister back into the business, and you even have a store-brand Brandi, though obviously with a different relationship to him.</p><p> </p><p>
Just a couple of shower thoughts on it.</p>
