El Horse

In 2016 it was always Anders Thunder. Never once did I get him over, also never stopped me. I still will book Annhilus and still get a big chuckle over the God Butcher team in Burning Hammer. They both stink in ring but they look scary as hell and both have star power to spare. Loved booking them in the CGC days, tons of mileage against the DeColts and Triple I.

Wasn't Davis Wayne Newton one?

I've gotten Marvin up to 20 pop but that's mostly on Texas Justice being great in ring. I've kept them strong by having them win all multi man matches but Marvin never takes the pin. I had Marvin win the March tournament over two members of Texas Justice. Zap is totally gonna be stalled at 17/18 until he gets better in the ring and while he's improving there is no way he'll be ready for anything until next year at best. I added a weekly show in June. Only ran two weekly shows so far and I'm enjoying using Deever, Good, LaRoux, and Jewett boost up some of the other workers on the roster. Totally thinking of using the idea of hiring a couple of jobbers and a couple of veterans to help boost the roster.

I'm about 5 shows in and while I wish I read this thread first I can say that there is nothing wrong with giving Zap and Marvin the mic every show. It didn't take long for me to get this guys up there in pop fairly quickly. But I really do have to mix in a weekly show or something because the one monthly show is not allowing me to increase pop fast enough.

<p>So in trying to even out the technico/rudo divide I've signed Velvet Suarez, Christy Higgins, and Catalina Velasquez. Depending how that all works I might also bring in DupliKate and Joanna Silver based on nothing other than both of these two characters being favorites of mine.</p><p> </p><p> The male side has a way bigger divide. Since I have to bring in Chess Maniac(I mean seriously you should have to), I've also decided to turn Mr. Lucha III back to a technico. I've also signed all of the Phoenix graduates, Doctor Technico, and Kid Fantastic. I'm also thinking about Felipe Caballero but don't really want to waste the gains I've been making on the technico side.</p>

Personally I'm a little annoyed at where SUKI is in comparison to where he was with GCG last game. So I plan on bringing in Ryobe Uno and Danjuro Kikuchi(GCG alum's who are also good technical wrestlers, which with the technical masterclass requirement is helpful) to team with SUKI and the 2 young lions from GCG and have me my own Golden Army. I'm thinking SUKI winning the grand prix would make sense and I'd have him beat the defending champ Matsushita in the finals. Don't think I'm gonna crown him though. I like the idea of him being a guy who feels like a mega star but for whatever reason doesn't quite make it to the top, kinda like Minoru Suzuki in NJPW. Guy was/is a mega star but he never quite got the big title win. Also feels like a fun future feud with SUKI and Furusawa in that Furusawa never joins the GCG stable and he already had a title run so he fits in and the bitter SUKI is still looked at as an outsider. I've also always had a soft spot for Goto and Matsushita. I'm going to try a monster push with both guys and see what I can get out of them. Might try a tag team with those guys as well. Overall though I find BCG is in such an interesting spot in this game and I can't wait for a long term save.

I'm so happy this company is still active and also apparently thriving with a Dojo even!! I'm a big fan of the GCG workers they added in Furusawa and SUKI and the last of the GCG dojo workers appear to have some potential. Have only booked one show but another thing that's noticeable is it feels like some of these guys have improved. Kinda shocking the ratings I was getting from guys like Giant Brody and Naozane Goto! I'm probably not going to do much booking until the full game comes out as all I did was spend four hours yesterday going over the rosters and new workers and I'll probably just read the handbook over the weekend. But I'm so psyched that I'll get to continue playing as BCG!

Starting to get slightly worried that BCG isn't gonna make it. It just makes too much sense with the owner and his number 2 both being in their 60's and with the tsunami it being easy to call it quits. I'd be sad if they were gone but that's a bunch of interesting characters that would be out there in Japan. Getting excited!!!

My game plan is to start 3 games, one Japan save(hoping and praying that BCG will still be alive), one US lower level save(MAW or NYCW depending on what I'm feeling), and one cult or high promotion(Would really like that to be CGC). Take turns on all three one month at a time and see the differences between them. Pretty excited!

I swear Electric Dreamer is the only person I've ever gotten that notice with

I'll try my best with some of these. Chris Jericho - Jack Bruce Jake Hager - Primus Allen Cody Rhodes - Greg Gauge Dustin Rhodes - Matthew Keith (totally not right but....) Kenny Omega - Frankie Perez Hangman Adam Page - Young Bucks - The Amazing Bumfoles MJF - Hollywood Brett Starr Christopher Daniels - Steve Flash Frankie Kazarian - Donnie J Scorpio Sky - Thrill Seeker Lucha Bros. - Los Monteros (sans the mask gimmicks) Dark Order - The Swarm (or now Silver Tiger and Cosmic Rider) Trent - Nelson Callum Chuck Taylor - Ash Campbell Orange Cassidy - Garry The Entertainer Angelico - Craig Phoenix Jack Evans - Remmy Skye Brandon Cutler - Regular Joe Darby Allin - Australian Devil Joey Janela - Private Party - OMG (Reynaud and Kamikaze) Jimmy Havoc - Jon Moxley - Jurassic Express - Kip Sabian - Princeton Pryce Pac - Peter Avalon The Librarian - Shawn Spears - Clark Alexander Sonny Kiss - Notorious F.R.E.A.K. Butcher - Roly Muckletruck or Cerberus Blade - Rayne Man Marty Scurll - Ash Campbell Flip Gordon - Kid Fantastic Awesome Kong - Gorgon Aja Kong - Also Gorgon Brandi Rhodes - Brittney Hollywood Leva Bates - Joanna Silver Riho - Yuma Maruya Bea Priestley - Laura Flame Britt Baker - Christy Higgins (feels like they should be good but they aren't) Hikaru Shida - Megumi Nakajima Nyla Rose - Unstoppable Tai or Killer Kass Penelope Ford - Charity Sweet Sadie Gibbs - Kris Statlander - Kinda all over the place with some of these but this is actually pretty hard.

It's not just the borrowing talent, it's that the MJM groups don't do a touring schedule. Before MJM every Japanese group had a touring schedule. This more than anything created BCG(my favorite company).

I believe it's The Lion's Roar. It's whatever the last big event of the Aug-Oct tour

For an L2G game Australia seem to have the most interesting variety. I mean there is enough talent without jobs for 2/3 regional companies being added to the region.

I see all the "big name" MAW guys being gone, predictions go: Gauge: PGHW - Kinda following his brothers footsteps who went to BHOTWG. Wolfe: CGC - His dad has legacy in Canada, it just kinda makes sense Remus: TCW - The work rate promotion seems like a good fit. The Dynamite Express: NOTBPW - Really solid workers seem like a good fit to replace Robinson & Bennett. Miller Fforde: CZCW - Once his consistency problem is worked out it feels like he's a better fit for this company than he ever was for MAW. The Architect: PSW - One of the overlooked things about The Architect is that he's a liberal, which makes him open to death matches! Always felt like he'd be an awesome fit there. Another prediction is that MAW isn't a feeder fed necessarily for a bigger company but is one for COTT. Roster I'd see for them would probably look something along the lines of: ME: DeMarcus, Blaze, Deadline UM: Copperhead, Phoenix IV, Pilgrim, Riley McManus M: Gray, Triumph, Liotta, Needham, Garry The Entertainer LM: Robin DaLay, Simon Waves, Hawkeye Calhoun, Jules Night O: 3 or MAW Graduates
