After looking through your first card, I'll weigh in with a few thoughts:Good to see you got Mauro Ranallo doing play-by-play in your commentary team (and I'm not just saying this because I'm familiar with his work from ECCW and Top Ranked Wrestling in my neck of the woods from the mid-2000s). Ranallo's just one of the best play-by-play men currently in the wrestling biz, period.
I don't know who Danhausen is since I haven't followed his career, but he appear to combine elements of Sting, Vampiro (and according to Wikipedia, Conan O'Brien mixed with Mark Hamill's Joker from Batman: TAS) and he does sound like an interesting character.
Even though Rick Rude's been gone for over two decades now IRL, having him team with Robert Roode as the Roode Brothers in this diary sounds compelling and they ought to get a push for tag team gold.
Remaking Matt Hardy as "Dr. Von Hardy" and Jeff Hardy as a modified version of his original ring persona Willow the Wisp? Hmmm...
I remember Brian Pillman from his Stampede and WCW days and his late run in the WWF as part of the expanded Hart Foundation, and his son Brian Jr. has real potential to follow the success of his dad, especially with Chris Jericho mentoring him. Brian Sr. would be proud.
Nice to see Taz mentoring his son Hook as the latter makes his way into the wrestling biz.
Bringing together three of the more recent wrestling icons (Edge, Johnny Nitro/Mundo/Morrison and the Miz) just might be an attention-getter here.
And finally, Brock Lesnar remade with a Viking gimmick as Bjørn Larsen? I'd sure like to see where this goes (kind of like a modern day version of '70s wrestler Eric the Red, but in better shape and with more skills).
All in all, a good first event.
Thank you for the thoughts!
I'm ready to rock with Boogs! Looking forward to the Boog-Tacular for sure.It is always a good time with the Boogs!

This is a complete slobberknocker.
Hard hitting move after hard hitting move.

The match ends in controversial style,
when Reigns and Larsen are fighting on the outside.
They completely ignore the count out and are only hellbent on beating the hell out of eachother.

Fun first show to book, excited for where its heading!
Here's some fun questions!
Which character(s) are you most interested in?
Who should Hook's first opponent be? (Could be anyone!)
Obviously something is "cursing" professional wrestling and there's something strange going on with Dr. Von Hardy. What could it be?

The Boog's Wacky World of Wrestling
Alternate Universe... March 2022... Only one man can save professional wrestling as we know it...
Eric "Rick 'The Stick' Del Hagen" Bugenhagen
How did we get here? No one knows. All we know is that "The Stick" has opened his own company to build his vision. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, The Boog's Wacky World of Wrestling will change the way professional wrestling is perceived.
Who is signed to his company? You'll have to wait and see when the first show airs in your living room. The First Annual Wrestling Boog-tacular!!!
My problem with TEW saves has always been once I'm booking, there's always someone or something I want to book that is in either another company or era. So my way of fixing that is creating an alternate universe where I can do whatever I want and just have fun.
I have been a fan of Bugenhagen since before he ever stepped foot in a wrestling ring, so I'm excited to tell a story with him.
So get ready, because ANYTHING can happen in The Boog's Wacky World of Wrestling

The NY Pimps by his side.

His partner, Kalo, his right behind him. He is a monk from South Africa who now resides somewhere in the Himalayan Mountains.

Clearly shocked after what just happened, the commentators try to get APEX back on track for the next match.
Already in the ring, Dasher is billed as the greatest athlete you've never heard of. He starts to get on the fans good side with some taunts, but is quickly interrupted.
Machine Gunka and his bodyguard DOC make their entrance into the ring. They are clearly on a mission. Gunka demands the referee start the match.

After a commercial break, we see backstage a locker room door with smoke coming out from the cracks. A theme song plays with loud drums and horns blares across the small venue. A fake crowd noise is played, chanting "Lo-lo, lo-lo, lo-lo." The door busts open with a large Hawaiian exiting, coughing. He shows off with some punches. Pakalolo makes his way out for his match.
After he finally makes it into the ring,
a monster, announced as Kongo, enters. He is directed by handlers into the ring.
APEX Singles Match
Pakalolo vs. Kongo
The two big men put on a good performance, with Pakalolo seemingly being the better of the two. He seems a little paranoid at points in the match, getting distracted by heckles from the fans. Eventually, he is able to pin Kongo after he hits him with a huge Superplex that almost breaks the ring.

Pakalolo makes it to his feet, realizing he won and celebrates. That doesn't last long.

Tonight's main event couldn't have came sooner. *I mean seriously, what was that last segment.*
The first competitor enters, his name is Thor Bjerk. Billed from somewhere in Scandinavia, a giant Viking-looking man stares out the crowd with a blank look on his face.
His opponent, Brett Cardona, comes out with his friend, BJ Myers. Both men are dressed in all purple velvet suits and fancy canes. The fans cheer loudly for some reason unknown to the broadcasters. Cardona looks physically frighted by Thor, but is ready to begin the match anyway.
APEX Singles Match
Brett Cardona vs. Thor Bjerk
Bjerk clearly overpowers the velvet-clad Cardona. Brett is able to get some offense in during the match, but only because Bjerk gets distracted by Myers and destroys him outside the ring. The match ends after a big Chokeslam Thor hits in the middle of the ring.
Thor Bjerk defeats Brett Cardona in 11:44 by pinfall after a Chokeslam

The two loveable boys from New York try to plead with Thor, trying to offer them "services" for him to leave them alone.

The fans boo as he leaves the ring, ending the second episode of APEX Wrestling.

April 2020
Brian Quinn, comedian and Impractical Jokers star, approaches a group of investors about an idea. With not being able to work on his television shows or do comedy because of COVID, he turns to one of his other passions. Professional wrestling. His idea is an episodic wrestling show, (think Lucha Underground) with original characters and great wrestling. The investors love the idea, but with a few stipulations. He must bring in advisors with experience in the pro wrestling world, and he must have medical staff for COVID safety.
Brian, with his unnamed advisors, start searching for the roster. Unbeknownst to Brian, one of his investors has stake in NBC. A one hour, graveyard slot on SYFY has been secured for one season of programming, with an opportunity to get renewal with a better time slot if the show succeeds.
June 2020
COVID was suppressed by June and the first taping was set for the end of the month in Staten Island, New York. No roster is announced before hand. Fans will go in blind to find out what APEX will really be.
*So I've started and gave up on about 3 diaries in my time playing TEW. That's TEW for you. I think those failed because I tried doing something too big. This is a smaller save with a more focused idea. Just booking 1 hour shows I can get a lot more done and not get burned out. Yes, I know the APEX logo is from a UK company, but I couldn't think of a good idea for a company name and logo, and this logo inspired me with a lot of ideas.*

The WWF is 90 pop in some areas and high 80's in other areas. Do you think you can run 90 rated shows with squashes for WWF Superstars? I'd love to see it Jamhead. I'm not being a jerk I'm honestly saying that I run things like Warrior/Savage and come out with like a 91 with Hulk, Warrior, Savage and The Million Dollar man all cutting nearly 100 rated promos So if someone else can run a "card" of Superstars from 91 have it be realistic to the time and still get that rating I'd love to see it so I can duplicate it.
Yes, you can do it. Match focus and angle focus in your product is very important. Set the match focus to Main Event Spotlight and set angle focus to Tight Focus. You will enjoy the game a lot more that way without really changing anything.

Roster mock-ups are complete. Now I am going to begin work on creating all companies and their logos. Haven't got as much time as I've wanted to work on this as I have started back up with work and do not have a whole lot a free time. My original plan at doing whole companies at a time and completing them will take way too long with the time that I have available.

ECW Homecoming Qualifying Match
Shelton Benjamin vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.
This match was a great showing by the two men. Both of them showed their experience in the ring. One big moment in the match was when Shelton ducked a clothesline from Chavo and turned him around into a T-Bone Suplex into the middle turnbuckle. The match ended when Chavo set Shelton up for the Three Amigos. He hit one... then two... and when he picked him up for the third, Shelton flipped out of it and as soon as Chavo turned around, he hit him with the Paydirt for the 1. 2. 3.
Shelton Benjamin defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. in 12:10 by pinfall with a Paydirt.

When ECW returns from commercial break, Tony Atlas is standing at the top of the ramp with a microphone stand.
Tony: "It's The Abraham Washington Show! Starring: Abraham Washington! Tonight, Abraham welcomes his guest, The Hurricane! And now, heeeeeeeeres Abe!"

Abe comes out to a very indifferent crowd, but he acts like its the biggest ovation he has ever seen. He talks up his show and an applause sign comes up on the screen. The crowd boos, but he acts like they are cheering. He then goes on to talk bad about the city they are in Brooklyn.
He cracks some jokes and Tony starts laughing.

Abe: "But now I'd like to welcome my guest, the Heart and Soul of ECW, The Hurricane!"
Tony laughs.
Hurricane comes out to cheers from the fans. He is handed a mic by Abe and he immediately goes into his Hurricane shtick. Abe claims that the Hurricane isn't a real superhero, and needs to stop lying to the ECW fans. Hurricane gets upset by this, and stands up to defend himself. Abe continues to talk, but Hurricane slaps him across the face. The fans begin to cheer as Abe is almost crying in pain. Through all of this... Tony is still laughing.

ECW comes back from commercial break and it is time for the main event of the evening, CM Punk vs. Mark Henry.
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2tdioaQliQI?start=1" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Mark Henry comes out to make his entrance. He makes his way down the ramp, but as he is about to get into the ring, Luke Gallows jumps over the barricade and attacks him.
CM Punk quickly runs down the ramp to join him.
They continue to beat up Henry, slamming him into the barricade and steel steps. Eventually, referees and agents rush down to the ring to break up the mess. Henry is unable to compete, so Punk wins the match on a forfeit.
Punk walks over and grabs a mic from the timekeepers area. He goes on about how last night he saw Henry at a hotel bar drinking. He says that he would not step into a ring with a possibly intoxicated person and risk injury.
Punk: "I am trying to show Mark Henry, and the rest of you people watching, that Straight Edge means that I am better than you."
Before Punk can finish up and leave, the General Manager of ECW, Tiffany, comes out to the top of the ramp.
She says that she will not allow this to happen, and in the opening match of next week, Punk will have to beat a mystery opponent in order to get in the ECW Homecoming main event. Punk and Gallows are furious and ECW ends with the camera on their upset faces.

Overall Show Rating: 61
Going to look at maybe a product change to get better show ratings, but I will test some things out before doing anything. Overall I am happy with the show. I broke off from real life a significant bit here because I had some ideas pop up. Testing out different kind of write up here that takes less time and will be easier to do more often. I will still definitely do the longer write ups on main shows, but let me know on opinions of these write ups.
Here is the poll from wwe.com. So now we know Shelton is advancing and you can replace Mark Henry with Punk's mystery opponent. Feel free to answer the poll as it gives me a feeling of what direction you all think I am going to go. Whoever gets the most polls correct within a certain time period will get a reward. I am thinking maybe give me a challenge of some sort, haven't quite figured out what I want to do with that yet.
Any feedback is always welcomed!

<p>Also, while I'm thinking about it, since some places just don't have any well known referees or announcers, what would be the best plan of action?</p><p> </p><p>
I had two thoughts about this:</p><p> </p><p>
1. Scrounge around the internet and just get some relatively unknown people.</p><p> </p><p>
or 2. Use well know people that aren't associated with professional wrestling or professional wrestling internet personalities if there are any from the area.</p><p> </p><p>
If I went with option two, I wouldn't be making any of them super popular or "overpowered" they would just be used for the name and picture and people could use them however they would like.</p><p> </p><p>
Any suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.</p>

Still slowly working on it. Been taking some time to actually play the full game. Almost have every roster planned out as I figured that would be the best thing to get done first. Also been running sims with the companies that I have done to make sure they run how intended. Will post some screenshots within the next few days.
-
Schedule
So for a rough schedule: I'm going to at least get a few shows up a week. I'm not going to try and force myself to do a show everyday because I will get burnt out fast. Taking my time on shows and also playing some other saves will allow me to do my best work on the storylines.

He slowly makes his way out to the ring, taking in the response from the crowd. Once in the ring, he grabs a mic and waits for the crowd to settle down.
Bret: "Well I guess Hell froze over."
The crowd continues to cheer for the five time WWE Champion.
Bret talks about how long its been since he's been in the WWE and how it feels to be back. He tells the fans that he has been trying to come back but Mr. McMahon wouldn't allow it.
The fans boo loudly at this and then burst out into a "welcome back" chant.

HBK slowly walks down to the ring with an angry look on his face.
The two men stare down each other face to face.
Bret: "Shawn Michaels. I'll just call you Shawn. I think I'd like to take this opportunity right now to bury the hatchet with you, and call for a truce.
HBK: "First of all Hitman, before you come out here and get your closure, there's something I've been waiting twelve years to say to you. The fact is, you deserved what happened twelve years ago in Montreal."
The fans boo in disagreement and begin chanting "You screwed Bret!"
Shawn goes on to explain himself and how he has changed as a person. He says how he couldn't stand the sight of Bret back in the day. He changes his tone and begins praising Bret for their iron-man match in Anaheim, California and how good of a "sports entertainer" he is.
Shawn then says that he is also ready to bury the hatchet and move on.
HBK: "I guess all I have to say is: Are you sure? and Are you ready?"
Bret then explains that he is ready, and offers his hand out to HBK. After some deliberation, Shawn agrees and shakes his hand.
HBK begins to leave the ring, teases a Sweet Chin Music, but turns around and gives Bret a hug before leaving the ring.
As Shawn leaves, Bret has more to say.
Bret: "There's one more thing I want to ask, and I want one more person to come down. Vince McMahon, I know you're back there, and I want you to come down here and see me face to face too!"
He never comes out and the camera cuts away.

The three in the ring take turns having control of the match until Mark Henry reenters and takes out all three competitors. Henry attempts a Bear Hug submission on Carlito, but Swagger breaks it up before Carlito is forced to tap. Henry turns on Swagger and locks him in a submission also, but this time MVP returns from being thrown out of the ring and breaks up the attempt with a huge dropkick. Swagger and Henry are taken out of the equation which gives MVP the opportunity to set Carlito up for the Playmaker and hits it. He covers him and hooks the leg. 1. 2. 3.

McMahon wishes everyone a Happy New Year. He then says that there is no reason to call Bret Hart out tonight. Claims that Bret and Shawn pretty much handled everything already. Mike Tyson is announced as next weeks guest host. While McMahon is talking about Tyson, Bret Hart comes out with no music and makes his way to the ring.
McMahon says that he knows that the fans want Bret to put the Sharpshooter on him. He begs him to be the better man tonight and will let him say what he needs to say. Before that, McMahon says that he really believes that Bret screwed Bret. Mr. McMahon says that he hopes Bret will tell him that he's sorry.
Bret walks over and gets a microphone. He says that he will not apologize to him. Bret tells McMahon that this is his chance to make peace with him. He wants McMahon to apologize to him.

McMahon says that he was like a father figure to Bret. He then announces that Stu Hart will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Bret thanks him. McMahon thanks him for being the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be. They shake hands. Bret's music hits and McMahon raises his arm in the air.
McMahon turns and kicks Bret beneath the belt. McMahon leaves the ring to a cacophony of boos as RAW goes off the air. (and of course Bret no sells it and is on his feet 30 seconds later)
Segment Rating: 63
Overall Show Rating: 65
Obviously not a great rating, but the mod doesn't start with storylines with any heat and I couldn't generate enough storylines with heat before the end of the show, so that hurt the rating a lot. Next weeks RAW will definitely branch off from real life and start some new storylines. Hopefully I can pull these ratings back because with our popularity so high and the product restrictions it is going to be very hard to not lose popularity.

So if someone else can run a "card" of Superstars from 91 have it be realistic to the time and still get that rating I'd love to see it so I can duplicate it.
