Just like any company they will need road agents for their shows, but normally they will hire some themselves if you call them up. If the quality difference is significant the match ratings could drop somewhat.
If you own the developmental company they will not hire anyone themselves.

TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
The show started with Emma Chase announcing that she stayed away from last week’s Main Event, and still Jay Chord remains World Heavyweight Champion, but now he has another man by his side – her man, Spencer Spade. This brought out an incredulous Queen Emily, asking if she had heard correctly that Spade was “her man”. This was confirmed with lingering kiss, and when Bright and Huggins were out Emily was happy to put them in the Main Event – which ended up as my fourth best match ever. Like last week the finish was not clean, with Dazzling Dave Diamond attacking T-Bone Bright to end the match in DQ, before a post-match beatdown.
Mighty Mo showed that he picked the better partner as Human Arsenal well outperformed Del Neutron as the heels took this tag match, although Aaron Andrews obviously way not involved in the pin. Marc DuBois joined commentary for the opener and… he sucked. His mouth did put off Enygma who left Masked Cougar exposed to a Butterfly Lock from Joshua Taylor. After the match Wolf Hawkins declared that Taylor and Ranger would be representing The Syndicate in a match against the Tag Champions, Hammond & Brown, at Excessive Force. He also challenged Mainstream Hernandez and Roderick Remus to a match with himself and Ernest Youngman, which was accepted later in the night after both Youngman and Hernandez pulled out singles victories (Hernandez in a great match against Davis Wayne Newton).
It was also announced that there would be a four-way match at Excessive Force for the vacant TCW TV Title, following Edd Stone's injury. Chris Flynn and Matthew Keith qualified for this match with singles victories, David Stone unable to get revenge for his uncles injury against Flynn after interference from Nick Booth. The crowd struggled to get into the Akima Brave / Matthew Keith match, and this wasn’t helped by an eye socket injury to Brave after he crashed into the ring post.
Joshua Taylor and Ranger defeated Enygma and Masked Cougar in 10:41 (73)
Ernest Youngman defeated Bart Biggins in 7:02 (75)
Mainstream Hernandez defeated Davis Wayne Newton in 9:04 (86)
Chris Flynn defeated David Stone in 7:16 (64)

Yes, Emma Chase is still married to Eric Eisen, but I made it clear to her when offering her massive contact that she may be required to “date” a TCW wrestler, and it didn’t stop her taking the money.
On Saturday Night Showcase High Flying Hawaiian and Findlay O’Farraday also qualified for the TCW TV Title match at Excessive Force, both showing good chemistry with their opponents.

Elsewhere, Extraordinario Jr joined EILL full time, vacating the COTT World Heavyweight Title that he won off Frankie Perez 9 months earlier. Seth Whitehead and Guillotine finally drop the HGC Tag Titles that they barely defended this year – James Diaz and Texas Hangman are the new champions. Elliot Thomas finds a better suited home, joining CZCW, who also welcome back Marc Speed.
Meanwhile, I noticed that Plague, who I appointed as HGC CEO when it opened, was a terrible business man. I brought in Dread, who it turns out is almost as bad. We’ll see if he can influence Tamara McFly (booker) to push Dreadnought harder (11-12 this year).

I've had Joshua Taylor join The Syndicate as Wolf's second, where he had a decent Tag Title run with Eddie Chandler before focussing on singles wrestling. He's the cleanest wrestler in the group, and always seems to be on the verge of a face turn due to Wolf blocking his path to a World Title shot. He's still heel though...
-
ah yes, that good ol' classic "20-match losing streak" build to the title. that's just good booking right there.
Well, it's how WWE used to book some Money in the Bank winners...
-
As a season finale that was fantastic.

How can I avoid or minimalize the announcer penalty? I'm TCW & no matter who between Jason Azaria, Shawn Doakes, Kyle Rhodes, & Jasmine I get a penalty for it.
Get better announcers.

TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
Despite the World Heavyweight Title match, the big news was Edd Stone breaking his ankle in his TV Title defence against Chris Flynn. The two men quickly finished the match, but didn’t realise the seriousness of the injury to hotshot the title. Nick Booth and Chris Flynn did have an argument after the match, but it was a little half hearted as Edd Stone was being stretchered out during it.
The main event was fantastic, garnering a 99 rating despite us restricting the moves that both men could use and the DQ finish after Spencer Spade attacked Freddy Huggins. Spade and Chord lay into Huggins after the match, pushing Laura Huggins away and only stopping when T-Bone Bright made the save.
Earlier in the night Spencer Spade defeated Enygma after Marc DuBois tripped the masked man, Shockura and Roderick Remus picked up regulation wins, Ranger defeated Doc Hammond to indicate that The Syndicate may get another Tag Title shot in some form, and Killer Shark defeated Bart Biggins. After Shark's match Findlay O’Farraday came out to shrug at his success, pointing out that he had done the same last week. The two slammed Biggins a couple of times, before seeming to mutually accept one another. Finally Aaron Andrews and Mighty Mo agreed to find a partner and meet in the ring next week.

It’s my second best show and second best match, but it’s tinged with a little bit of sadness with Edd Stone’s broken ankle is set to keep him out for three months. He was going to be helping Freddy Huggins our in the Main Event, which would have had to see him drop the TV Title soon. I hadn’t decided who would be given the honour, but this does give me a little bit more flexibility.
On Saturday Night Showcase we ran what we feared could be our worst match this year… and it turned out even worse due to poor chemistry. Titan has five months left on his deal – can I find something for him in that time? The segments were all about Aaron Andrews and Mighty Mo picking partners for their tag match on Tuesday – El Hijo Del Neutron will join Andrews, with Human Arsenal joining Mighty Mo.

Rocky Golden takes his second SWF World Heavyweight Title after defeating Scythe at Times of Trouble, in a match where both men were 100 rated, but unfortunately the commentary let the match down at it ended with an 88 rating. Meanwhile Alicia Strong has started dating Kirk Jameson, and CZCW grow to Medium led by Frankie Perez and Frankie Boy Fernandez.

TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
Anyone expecting some post-Total Mayhem debuts just got to see Kathleen Lee join my increasing numbers of female managers. She was dissed by Angelle backstage, which was a little risk from the heel considering she hasn’t found her home yet. Elsewhere some storylines from Total Mayhem look set to continue. Freddy Huggins gets his World Heavyweight Title rematch and he warmed up woth victory over Ranger in the Main Event. Mighty Mo and Killer Shark teamed to take out High Flyin Hawaiian and Flying Jimmy Foxx, and after his victory against Matt Hocking Aaron Andrew turned his attention to Mighty Mo.
The best match of the night saw Mainstream Hernandez and Roderick Remus take a victory over Human Arsenal and Benny Benson is a superb match, carrying on their momentum on from Total Mayhem. Troy Tornado hyped up Marc DuBois but Enygma wasn’t impressed, and Nick Booth failed in a TV Title match after botched Chris Flynn interference. Matthew Keith also blamed his father for his PPV loss against Steven Parker, but Sam Keith dressed down his son telling him that he had to take responsibilities for his own actions. Finally Findlay O'Farraday despatched Bart Biggins.
Killer Shark and Mighty Mo defeated High Flyin Hawaiian and Flying Jimmy Foxx in 7:21 (78)
Matthew Keith defeated Marc Speed in 6:30 (76)

At Saturday Night Showcase Marc Speed left after begrudgingly putting over Matthew Keith and Davis Wayne Newton in consecutive shows. Steven Parker and Joffy Laine also teamed up in the Main Event, in an experiment that may continue.

Elsewhere in the world of wrestling SWF signed Joanne Rodrigues to replace Emma Chase, which isn’t a bad replacement. Samoan Machine has taken being L-Ring Champion too seriously by dissing Alex Braun’s PSW booking, despite him being one half of the Tag Team Champions there. Unwise, perhaps?

That’s it – The Sinner Society are no more
That State of Wrestling:
This is where things begin to get interesting. The biggest promotion in the world is USPW, but after losing the National Battle they have just shrunk to medium size. They had been on a hiring spree, bringing in Greg Gauge, Sammy Bach, El Leon, Rock God Álvarez and Pablo Rodriguez, but are suffering with Tyson Baine as World Champion, who ended Nicky Champion’s close to year long reign in December. Champion has been unsuccessful at regaining the title, so personally I would get Baine to drop the title to Steve Frehley before transitioning it to Greg Gauge.
Their other titles also aren’t going too well – the Tag Titles are vacant after an injury to Petr Novak, and Raven Robinson has only defended the Women’s Title three times in six months. Hopefully the National Title is where things are looking up – Rock God Álvarez having recently taken the title off Dusty Ducont. With the money behind USPW the drop to medium shouldn’t hurt, but perhaps they won’t bid for my top stars over the next few months. Edward Cornell is stuck in the midcard.
The other company to falter in the National Battle is CWA, at the hands of USPW. They have been left largely unscathed by North American poaching (Sean McFly’s in USPW, David Stone, Johnny Bloodstone and now Marc DuBois are in TCW), and currently have Shooter Sean Deeley as World Champion, who defeated Donte Dunn to win the title recently. However, Canada for years has been the place in North America for pure wrestling, and TCW are now chipping away at that crown. They don’t have USPW’s money to fall back on, and with some of their top women’s contracts coming up they may be concerned for their renewal.
SWF have lost several wrestlers to TCW (Mainstream Hernandez, Lenny Brown, Steven Parker, Spencer Spade and High Flyin Hawaiian), Rogue to USPW as well losing non-wrestlers Emma Chase, Krissey Angelle, Hannah Potter and Kurt Laramee. Their biggest signing has probably been Eddie Chandler, with Casey Valentine, Chance Fortune, Grandmaster Phunk and Atlas also joining. Their most interesting signing is yet to start his contract – Sebastian Koller is coming over from 21CW, where he was had a long, successful World Title reign. Will he be able to succeed where Edward Cornell has so far failed? We shall see, but with Rocky Golden at the top of the card SWF have one of the world’s best.
21CW have lost stars Edward Cornell and Sebastian Koller, but also surprisingly released Sifu and Darin Flynn (who currently work for HGC - I only signed them after it was announced they were leaving!). This has released Ricky Storm for a World Title reign, and hopefully it will be a success.
EILL has lost Pablo Rodriguez, Rock God Alavarez and El Leon to USPW – however as the latter had a public falling out with fans they may be better shot of him. He has dropped the title to El Mitico Jr, with Gino Montero currently out of action. The next biggest company in the world is BHOTWG who put in consistently good shows, led by World Champion Kinnojo Hirro. Smaller organisations have benefitted from Wrestleword exposure, CZCW leading the group with Frankie Perez and Frankie-Boy Fernandes driving them forwards. Over at COTT Extraordinario Jr has been champion since last August, making successful defences across the US.

Bad time to only post two shows in a month - I should go weekly now, but if anyone can remember what was happening we're at the biggest event of the year, Total Mayhem!
TCW Total Mayhem:
Dark matches:
Dazzling Dave Diamond defeated Bart Biggins, Danny Darkness and Yuri Yoshihara in 7:23 (59)
Marc Speed and Jaylon Martins defeated Ground and Pound in 5:53 (54)
Human Arsenal and Benny Benson defeated Two Man Army, Maverick & Nate Johnson and Masked Cougar & Akima Brave in 9:51 (60)
The show started with Mainstream Hernandez and Roderick Remus getting revenge on The New Syndicate for costing them their tag titles, with a great, clean opener. O’Farraday and Enygma had a half decent brawl, with Enygma falling to a hard looking Piledriver. Troy Tornado and El Hijo Del Neutron didn’t grab the crowd’s attention, but it did see Marc DuBois debut to assist Troy Tornado, before officially joining Camp Tornado. Edd Stone was selling injuries from Tuesday night, but nephew David Stone stepped up to the plate, earning Total Stone the victory in the "throw lots of tag teams together match"… and then the night started to hot up.
First up, as Aaron Andrews and Killer Shark were about to start their match Mighty Mo came out to declare that Emma Chase had added him to the match. As Andrews and Shark brawled Mo was always there to try and take the pin opportunity, until his opponents teamed up to drop him viscously on the crowd barriers. Killer Shark didn’t let up and hit a Shark Bite on Andrews onto the barrier, before dragging him to the ring for the two count. A mini-Andrews resurgence failed, and a Shark Bite onto a trash can earned Shark the huge victory.
Next up and Tag Tournament winners Hammond & Brown took the Tag Team Titles off Wolf Hawkins and Joshua Taylor, in a match that had great work in the ring and Hannah Potter and Angelle arguing on the outside. Hawkins did get distracted by Angelle, and as he argued with her Brown hit the Star Treatment on Taylor to take the titles.
After Jason Azaria was inducted into the TCW Hall of Fame, Steven Parker and Matthew Keith went hard at it in a great little match, considering the crowd still aren’t sure about Matthew Keith. Special Referee Sam Keith called the match down the middle, which upset his son who Sam was particularly strict with, and Sam do not pause for even a moment when making the three count after a Future Shock from Parker.
In the battle between the men with superb recent records, T-Bone Bright inflicted Spencer Spade’s first singles defeat in TCW in a great match, in which Bright became the first man to kick out after a Supreme Stunner. That just left the Main Event…
And what a Main of the Event. Match of the Night, Match of the Year, Match of the Decade? It’s too early to say that, but it was almost 25 minutes of frankly superb action. King of Kings Jay Chord used everything he could to get an advantage, and that included targeting Laura Huggins, which just seemed to make Freddy Huggins madder. The champion showed a focus that he hasn’t seen, nor needed, since turning face. With Jay Chord spread over the announce table Freddy Huggins took to the air, but Emma Chase pulled Chord away so the champion crashed through the announce table. From that moment the momentum swung Chord’s way, and once back in the ring he almost got the pin with a rollup, a Cradle Piledriver earned Jay Chord the World Heavyweight Title, which he celebrated with Emma Chase in the ring.

That’s my first 100 rated match ever playing TEW (I’ve hit A* before, but can’t claim that they definitely hit 100). It was a mix of the supremely talented Jay Chord, the hot Freddy Huggins, a hot build to the Main Event, Sam Keith’s perfect Road Agenting and Emma Chase improving the commentary team. For it to come in the Main Event at Total Mayhem is fantastic – it’s how you plan for things to come together, but you don’t ever expect it to pay off so well.
A 97 rated show was also my highest ever, with 2 more matches cracking the 90s and another 2 just missing out on 89. I had completely forgotten that Aaron Andrews and Killer Shark had awful chemistry, but as Mighty Mo was meant to attack Andrews during the match it made sense to simply insert him into the match, which improved it immeasurably. In my head Bright and Spade over-performed, but I did book them in prime position so I must have had some faith. Elsewhere Hammond & Brown took the Tag Team Titles, making them the fourth champions in the last six months, which may upset some TCW purists. Marc Dubois debuted to join Camp Tornado, and it looked like Enygma was going to moan about putting Findlay O’Farraday over, but O’Farraday had a stern word and Enygma did the job.
After his induction Jason Azaria joined USPW – his stats have deteriorated, and I let him know that his contract wouldn’t be renewed before they came anyway near him. He earned his induction into the TCW Hall of Fame over many years of loyal service.

Just popped on to cheer you on. This is one of the main diaries that I look forward to reading. I wouldn't worry about the presentation, personally I enjoy it quite a lot. There's something to be said for ease of reading sometimes. Good job and keep it up! :-)
Thank you, should slightly speed up posting now...
TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
Most of the show had relatively one-sided matches, but there were two exceptions – Killer Shark defeating Steven Parker and the Main Event, where Edd Stone did superbly against Jay Chord. The King of Kings did eventually take the upper hand on Edd Stone and proceeded to do everything on the borders of legality to hurt his opponent, which eventually brought Freddy Huggins out to attack the man who would be his opponent on Sunday (causing the DQ). The two brawled around the ring to end the show, with participants in Edd Stone’s tag match also rushing out so the show ended with bodies everywhere.
Parker and Shark went at it in and around the ring, and Matthew Keith made a decisive impact with a low blow on Parker which allowed Killer Shark to hit the Big Bite and take victory. After the match we got a huge surprise as Sam Keith made his first TCW in appearance, announcing that he was going to be the Special Guest Referee in the Parker / Keith match. Although a huge name, Queen Emily had a bigger announcement later when she brought out the guest commentator for Total Mayhem – Emma Chase!
Elsewhere Killer Shark came out after Aaron Andrews defeated Danny Darkness and… took out Danny Darkness and Titan? Commentators stated that Killer Shark was looking more dangerous than he ever had in his career, and Aaron Andrews would be up against it at Total Mayhem. After T-Bone Bright defeated Benny Benson he and Spencer Spade try to outdo one another performances in TCW – Spade has yet to lose a singles match, while Bright hasn’t lost any match at all since losing to current champion Freddy Huggins in November. Something has to give this Sunday! After Enygma and Del Neutron won their match Findlay O’Farraday tried to attack Enygma, but the wily veteran avoided the big man’s attacks and said that he would be ready for him in the ring on Sunday. Finally, High Flying Hawaiian took victory over Chris Flynn when Nick Booth tried to help his tag partner but caused the distraction that allowed HFH to get the roll up for the victory.
T-Bone Bright defeated Benny Benson in 7:37 (75)
Killer Shark defeated Steven Parker in 8:38 (76)
High Flyin Hawaiian defeated Chris Flynn in 7:42 (77)
Enygma and El Hijo Del Neutron defeated Davis Wayne Newton and Marc Speed in 7:41 (65)

What a main event – I was relying on it being so as the previous matches weren’t too interesting, but it was great. Edd Stone showed that he can step up with the big boys, but can he do it consistently?
Two big names get added, unusually just before the main PPV of the year. However, with Matthew Keith criticising his brother since he left, his father, Sam Keith, will be an interesting addition to his feud with Steven Parker. Emma Chase’s colour skills make her impossible to leave off a show where I am after ratings, and she joins Queen Emily as having plied her trade in USPW, SWF and TCW.
Plenty of opinions after the show – Robert Oxford trying to get me to do something with Elliot Thomas probably won’t happen, but Dazzling Dave Diamond and High Flying Hawaiian both telling me to strap a rocket on David Stone seems much more likely. Ernest Youngman also showed off his new ripped look, which has given him a nice boost in Star Quality.

On Saturday Night Showcase Xavi Ferrera debuted in a tag team with his mentor, One Man Army. The deal is PPA, so he will continue to work with FCW and PSW. The good news is that One Man Army immediately started passing on tips to his protegee – the bad news is Ferrera’s gimmick of him trying to be cool and overdoing any instructions his mentor gave him really didn’t work with the crowd at all. The event was referee Charles Hapstander’s last in TCW, as he’s really not that great, and surplus to requirements since Fast Navarro joined last year.
Oh – it appears it was also Elliot Thomas’ last TCW match. I guess I was umming and erring over giving him a new contract, and then forgot it was running out. Will he be back one day? We shall see – he went 10-58 under my booking.
Meanwhile at USPW Tyson Baine continues his title run while Greg Gauge and Joss Thompson pull out MOTN. The Chill Warriors take the Tag Titles off Natural Storm, but have to immediately vacate due to Petr Novak tearing his quad.
And we've reached the big one, Total Mayhem. There's a couple of good matches with The Syndicate members, with a few spicy looking singles matches, none more so than the Main Event where Jay Chord will be looking to turn his King of Kings victory into a World Heavyweight Title reign.

Sorry, got a little caught up in things and didn't post for a while. It's still alive!
TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
The Canadian Animals teamed up for the first time in four years to take on Jay Chord and Mighty Mo, and they made up for lost time with a polished performance that eventually ended with Freddy Huggins pinning Mighty Mo. It wasn’t quite Match of the Night – that honour fell to Lenny Brown upsetting Joshua Taylor after Wolf Hawkins tried to take Brown out with a title belt but ended up striking his Syndicate colleague.
There wasn’t much to shout about the rest of the show – Aaron Andrews and Steven Parker formed an awkward team, and they looked on confused as Killer Shark came out after that match to hit the Big Bite on the defeated Chris Flynn and Nick Booth one after another. Mainstream Hernandez had to keep The New Syndicate at bay while earning a victory over Marc Speed, while O’Farraday teamed with Team Tornado in defeat to Enygma, El Hijo Del Neutron and Masked Cougar, with Davis Wayne Newton taking the pin. Matthew Keith joined Shockura in victory against the trio of High Flyin Hawaiian, Flying Jimmy Foxx and Joffy Laine, while in the opener Spencer Spade defeated Bart Biggins. The big stars in TCW are being kept apart in the ring as we near Total Mayhem, but the main events still ensured a high rating. Hannah Potter will firmly be in Hammond & Brown’s corner at Total Mayhem, and Angelle has been trying to join Wolf Hawkins and Joshua Taylor’s corner, but Hawkins has been reluctant so far.
Spencer Spade defeated Bart Biggins in 7:32 (75)
Aaron Andrews and Steven Parker defeated Chris Flynn and Nick Booth in 6:42 (76)

Just one episode of Total Wrestling left until Total Mayhem, and the card is almost set. Couple more matches to be set next week, and then it’s the big one. We also learnt that Jason Azaria would be inducted into the TCW Hall of Fame. He doesn’t commentate any more for us, as his skills have deteriorated too much, but he’s earned his induction.
For those counting, the 68 rated match Enygma just pulled out was his highest rating in a match not involving Jay Chord or Freddy Huggins since he joined TCW. He has been golden on the mic, and gave Jay Chord a focus during the build up to his title shot at Total Mayhem, but man, he really can’t do it in the ring anymore. However, I was expecting it in some way – I hoped for a little more, but looking back at the end of his USPW career he was matched with other Main Eventers constantly to hide how much he had slowed down.

TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
The highlight of the show, like so many this year, was the Tag Team Title match, with Wolf Hawkins and Joshua Taylor defeating Mainstream Hernandez and Roderick Remus with an assist from The New Syndicate. After the match Wolf Hawkins demanded that The Syndicate finish off the former MAW workers, but Doc Hammond and Lenny Brown were out for the save to set up their title shot at Total Mayhem.
The first match of the show saw Jay Chord defeat David Stone, and as usual he was trusted to make his opponent look a threat. After taking victory with a Cradle Pildedriver he set up for another one, which brought Uncle Edd Stone into the ring, but Jay Chord’s sneer showed that this was all part of the plan. A low blow put Edd Stone on the mat, and Chord removed his belt and used it around Edd Stone’s neck. Eventually he dropped Stone before taking a mic and calling Freddy Huggins out, asking him where he was – his was meant to be a friend of Edd Stone, but was too worried about keeping out of trouble that he felt Edd Stone wasn’t worthy of being saved. Freddy Huggins came out to deny this, saying that he was always ready to support his colleague, but Chord was just showing what a lousy piece of work he was, targeting other to get to him. Chord told Huggins that he wasn’t using them to get to him – he was using them to show Huggins what would happen to him when they faced one another.
Killer Shark defeated Dean Daniels, before Andrews accepted his challenge to a match at Total Mayhem which would be No Holds Barred. El Hijo Del Neutron took a victory over Marc Speed, but as he celebrated in the ring with Enygma Findlay O’Farraday charged in to destroy both men. T-Bone Bright was attacked by Spencer Spade during his match with DDD and… there was too much interference in this event, wasn’t there? The New Syndicate and Hammond & Brown tag victories were clean, and Steven Parker agreed to meet Matthew Keith at Total Mayhem, telling Keith that he wasn’t as big a name as he thought he was.

With the new T-Bone Bright / Spencer Spade storyline hotting up there was no storyline penalty, and so, with the help of the fantastic Tag Team Title match, I delivered one of the best matches seen on TCW TV. I proved I can run a Tag Title division when throwing Main Eventers into it, lets see if we can make a division out of it.
A couple of injuries – Johnny Bloodstone damaged knee ligaments in a dark match, but he should be back after Total Mayhem. Danny Darkness broke his nose in a tag match – he was actually going to book him in a TV match next week, but that will be shelved now. Probably what I’m most impressed about from the show was Matthew Keith holding his own on the mic despite the audience only just becoming aware that Greg Gauge had a brother.

TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
Mighty Mo talked his way into a rematch with Freddy Huggins in the Main Event, and it was sensational. A little lack of psychology was barely noticeable as the two battled backwards and forwards. Unusually Mo went to the top rope, and that was his downfall, missing his dive before falling to the Huggins Kiss.
There were quality matches all over the place, with Mainstream Hernandez and Roderick Remus warming up for their tag title rematch with victory over Chris Flynn and Nick Booth. Edd Stone retained his TV Title over Ernest Youngman, who pushed him all the way, and Jay Chord took victory over One Man Army before coming down to the ring after the Main Event to inform Huggins that his reign would be over by the end of the month. Storyline-wise it would have meant sense for Jay Chord to defeat Mystery Man in the Mexican’s last match in TCW, but instead he proved a decent foil for Matthew Keith to take a debut victory. After the match he told Steven Parker that Greg Gauge had disrespected his father by taking the name “Gauge”, and Parker had added to that disrespect by being on his side. Only slightly better was Aaron Andrews defeating Dazzling Dave Diamond, who honestly just could not keep up with Andrews and was gassed after just six minutes. After the match Eddie Peak brought out Killer Shark and challenged Andrews to face the monster at Total Mayhem. Elsewhere T-Bone Bright set up a match with Dazzling Dave Diamond next week, while Troy Tornado tried to attack El Hijo Del Neutron but had to get away when Enygma intervened. Finally, Lenny Brown and Doc Hammond celebrated becoming the first winners of the TCW Tag Tournament, but were told by Matt Hocking that they weren’t true champions as Shockura were competing for the Tag Titles, and they’ll meet in the ring next week.

Tributes flood in for Dinny Rantall
Amazingly, that 85 overall rating had a massive storyline penalty due to ongoing storylines, as I rearranged my storylines and I need to get a third up to a 70 rating (it’s stuck on 69 at the moment). It would have been one of my top rated shows ever without that, but I’m happy that I can get a penalty and still score in the mid-80’s. We’re on the build to Total Mayhem, and it looks like Huggins vs Chord and Andrews vs Killer Shark are two of the big matches set up.
Mystery Man leaves TCW, having only joined to offer a little support to Enygma in his feud with Jay Chord. It was meant to include a 1:1 match, but Chord’s injury but paid to that, and he was of far more value putting Matthew Keith over in his last match.
I did explore Sebastian Koller coming over to the US, but SWF swooped in and offered a larger contract than Stalling would consider. Koller has had two 99 rated matches, and was #2 on the Power 100, so the signing could be considered quite a coup. However, Edward Cornell has struggled in USPW (14-11 with an unsuccessful National Title Shot and no successful main show PPV bouts), so it will be interesting to see if he can push on.

As for Kate, besides the storyline disappointment with Jaime turning on her, there is a backstage story reason why she is absent as well.
Oh, colour me intrigued... A successful first prediction, but I'm doubting my tournament winner now - Jamie Quinn doesn't need it, Avatar won't let have have it, surely?

TCW Where Angels Fear to Tread
The show kicked off with the semi-finals of the Tag Team Tournament. First off The New Syndicate defeated Total Stones in a technical contest where Youngman pinned David Stone, before Hammond & Brown took on Dazzling Dave Diamond and Spencer Spade in much more of a brawl. Hannah Potter and Angelle were ringside arguing with one another and those in the ring, and in Lenny Brown looked extremely frustrated as Angelle's shrieks got louder and louder. The two argued on the apron, and Dazzling Dave Diamond charged in to try and take advantage of the distraction, but Brown moved out of the way, leading to DDD knocking Angelle off the apron, before eating a Star Treatment from Brown to take the pin. Steven Parker against Findlay O’Farraday was the highest rated 1 vs 1 match on the card and was an even contest. Parker did hit the Future Shock on Findlay O’Farraday, and as it looked like Findlay might suffer his first pinfall defeat in TCW Parker was attacked by… Greg Gauge with an evil beard? As the ref called the disqualification “Greg Gauge” continued the attack, applying the Proton Lock to a weary Parker.
El Hijo Del Neutron teamed with Masked Cougar to take revenge over Camp Tornado, making the pin on his former leader, Troy Tornado, before T-Bone Bright squashed Danny Darkness in a throwaway match. Then we finally got to see Enygma vs Jay Chord, in the feud that seems to have lasted forever without Chord being able to wrestle. Originally I was hoping this was going to be a potential classic, but after the last few weeks I was happy for it to be a decent return to wrestling for Jay Chord. No interest in continuing this feud any longer, Chord winning with a Cradle Piledriver.
Before the final of the Tag Team Tournament we had the three-way for the Tag Titles, which was match of the night. I ignored my road agent telling me I was over-using Pretty Okakura, although he was the man that took the decisive pinfall from Wolf Hawkins. These men can brawl, fly and work technically, and all six men mixed up their moves wonderfully. Every single man hit a finisher, but as Okakura tried to capitalise by going to the top rope Joshua Taylor knocked him off, allowing Hawkins to hit the Full Moon Rising to become Tag Champions with Taylor for the first time.
With it being announced that the winners of the Tag Team Tournament would earn a title shot next month at Total Mayhem, it threw up the interesting prospect of an all-Syndicate Tag match, but it was not to be as Lenny Brown pinned Ernest Youngman after a Star Treatment - Hannah Potter was at ringside, but Angelle was not. That just left the World Heavyweight Title match, which did suffer from a lack of selling (from the heels), and Killer Shark being allowed to go on a little rampage. He hit a Shark Bite on both Mighty Mo and Aaron Andrews, before he was thrown from the ring by Freddy Huggins who stole the pin on Mo, despite the ref missing Mo managing to get his foot on the bottom rope.

Firstly, that wasn’t Greg Gauge, it was Matthew Keith. Their contracts came up at the same time, and I had to get creative with Keith’s contract. Stallings capped the salary I could offer and, with Keith being fairly unknown in America, this was far less than what he was being offered to renew with BHOTWG. I offered a 100% event bonus, 55% of merchandise sales and creative control, and the day after Greg Gauge told me he was leaving his brother told me that he would sign for me. Whether or not his brother had spoken to him first I’m not sure.
MOTN was the Tag Title match (again), with Hernandez and Remus losing to Wolf Hawkins and Joshua Taylor. Unless anything changes, they are set to take on Hammond & Brown, who took the inaugural TCW Tag Tournament with victories over Dazzling Dave Diamond & Spencer Spade and The New Syndicate. Steven Parker and Findlay O’Farraday outperformed their far more over colleagues Jay Chord and Enygma…

TCW Presents Total Wrestling:
After feuding for all year, Killer Shark shocked Aaron Andrews by finally getting a pinfall victory on the former champion, after the ref missed a tag between him and Huggins that confused the face team. After hitting the Shark Bite on Andrews and making the pin, he followed it up with a Shark Bite on Freddy Huggins, as Mighty Mo backed away looking concerned.
In the TCW Tag Tournament The New Syndicate made relatively short work of HGC Tag Champions The Modern Dragons, with Ranger putting away Guillotine. Guillotine and Whitehead were only on the roster temporarily and will remain with HGC, but will be hopeful of a call up after Total Mayhem. Later in the show Dazzling Dave Diamond and Spencer Spade joined The New Syndicate in the semi-finals with victory over Flying Jimmy Foxx and Joffy Laine.
Elsewhere Steven Parker signed up for a match with Findlay O’Farraday at Where Angels Fear to Tread in a quest to avenge Greg Gauge – Parker and Human Arsenal pulling out a great match, before Findlay squashed Mystery Man (who was originally planned to be his PPV opponent before Greg Gauge left). Ed & David Stone teamed again in victory over Chris Flynn and Nick Booth, while Enygma was involved in another terrible multi-man match, where we learned that Masked Cougar would be teaming with El Hijo Del Neutron against Camp Tornado at the PPV. Finally, after last week’s triple threat match between members competing for the titles on Sunday their partners had their turn – Wolf Hawkins taking victory in a fantastic match (3rd best TV match ever).
Hannah Potter and Angelle continued to argue about who would lead a team to Tag Team victory – and Lenny Brown is really front and centre in this one, negotiating with both ladies and trying to make it about the teams involved, not them bickering. We also found out that T-Bone Bright would take on Danny Darkness at the PPV at a match better suited for TV.

Great things you like to see pop up in a computer game – Freddy Huggins, long time former tag partner of Edd Stone, has taken Edd’s nephew, new tag partner and fellow Canadian, David Stone, under his wing as a protegee. Having run an International Challenge in a couple of previous diaries I have plenty of Americans and Canadians, but my handful of Islanders, Mexicans and Japanese wrestlers mean I just don’t have the wresters to pull that off… yet.

I would give the Lite option ago. A summary and match results will keep us quiet readers going. It'll be less engaging and you'll get less predictions, but it's the model I've gone for and allows me to game more than write.
I personally also need to write to make sure I have a meaning for a feud, rather than just bunging wrestlers together, even if the reasons don't come out in the write ups so well. I fear of I didn't my bookings would become more mechanical, and I would lose interest quicker.
If it's not for you, it's easily ditched.
