It's because those segments weere too long for what your workers were rated on (overness, menace, charisma the one that i remember), in those cases just make the angle last for max 4 minutes.
Thank you for the quick response!
-
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I keep getting a lot of "lack of anything interesting happening" penalties for angles, even when they're things such as post-match attacks that are already coded into the game rather than Freestyle Angles. Is there something in particular I need to do to avoid these penalties or are they completely random?

Hoping Naomi gets the win over Nia!

I could see either Omega or Moxley walking away with the championship on this one, although realistically I think the only person who isn't in with a shot of winning is Mizanin - he seemed like he was being set up as an easy first defense for Danielson.
-
Well, this sucks. I give Danielson the belt and he decides to leave wrestling for a while to pursue politics.
Ooof, that's rough buddy.

The NWL Tag Team Championship Match certainly had some interesting results! Both teams were blessed with impressive physiques and visages, but I was relieved to see Leben & Ostlund come out victorious. Thank goodness that Greene didn't fall for Cook's trap and instead went immediately on the offensive. It was a joy to watch the veteran get his socks rocked by a formidable opponent for once!
The Watkins and Graham fight was certainly an interesting match. They were both great, but it wasn't a shock to see Watkins come through with yet another win against an opponent he already defeated. In terms of the Browne fight, I'm quite relieved to see that he was able to outmaneuver his larger opponent (all while looking good doing it). That's MY NWL United States Championship winner!
With the Battle x Reilly match, it was an infuriating yet amusing situation. Battle is such a petulant child, but that tantrum makes for quality entertainment at least! I'm glad the Reilly Bros were able to teach him a lesson.
Thanks man, I really appreciate the feedback and enthusiasm! There was actually some backstage reasons for why the Battle x Reilly match went down how it did, but I'll leave those for my PPV wrap-up post once I've finished with the remaining matches.

The National Wrestling League Presents...
NWL TOUCHDOWN
"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to another explosive night on the National Wrestling League calendar... this is NWL TOUCHDOWN!"
The third PPV of the calendar year opens with the commentary team of Michael Madden and Ronald Quincy, the regular hosts of the NWL's Friday Night Wrestling programme. They give a lowdown of the nine matches we'll be seeing tonight, including several grudge matches and three title matches, the first of which kicks off the show right now!
Jeff Leben & Luke Ostlund © vs. The Vikings [Judd Brennan & Roland Carr] (NWL Tag Team Championship Match)
Roland Carr and Jeff Leben are the ones to start off this championship match that opens the show, and Leben’s frustration from losing a singles match to Carr two weeks prior is on full display. Leben’s strikes come hard and fast, although Carr gets in several good shots of his own before ending up backed into the babyfaces’ corner. Leben tags in Luke Ostlund, who gets Carr draped along the middle rope and delivers a tiger feint kick for a two count.
Judd Brennan attempts to get in the ring, causing enough of a momentary distraction for Carr to roll Ostlund up with a schoolboy pin. The tag champ escapes at one but Carr quickly knocks him down with a kick to the side of the head. He drags Ostlund back towards his corner and tags in Brennan. The Vikings deliver a tag team suplex to Ostlund, before Brennan drops an elbow on his opponent and goes for the cover. Ostlund escapes at one yet again, so Brennan decides to get him into the corner and stamp on his chest several times before tagging in Carr to do the same. The Vikings’ showboating (to the dislike of the crowd) allows for Ostlund to slip out under the bottom rope and when Brennan jumps down to apprehend him, Ostlund performs a drop toe hold that bounces his opponent’s head off of the commentary table!
As Carr and Ostlund brawl at ringside, Leben ascends to the top turnbuckle and dives onto his opponents and tag partner, wiping everybody out! Both teams finally scramble back into the ring when the referee’s count is up to nine, saving the match from an unsatisfying count out ending. Leben is able to tag himself in and brings the fight right back to Carr, eventually working him down and locking in a crossface submission. Brennan once again distracts the ref, allowing Carr to prod at Leben’s eyes. With his grip broken, Leben ends up getting his head slammed down into the mat and Carr follows up with a lionsault that it appears would have scored a full three count if it wasn’t for Ostlund diving in at the last moment to break up the pin!
While the referee gets Ostlund back to his corner, Carr tags Brennan back in, who stops Leben from tagging himself out. Brennan takes his time performing some joint manipulation, particularly focusing on Leben’s arms, but the tag champ refuses to give up. He’s eventually able to outmuscle Brennan and creates separation, then drops him with a lariat! Leben drags Brennan back towards his corner and tags in Ostlund, then hits Carr with a dropkick as he attempts to get into the ring! While Leben is eliminating the threat of Carr, Ostlund ascends to the top rope, lands a picture perfect senton on Brennan and goes for the cover...
Jeff Leben & Luke Ostlund def. The Vikings to retain the NWL Tag Team Championships when Ostlund pins Brennan in 11:48 [70]
A brief video package recaps the feud between Alden Greene and Isiah Cook, leading into the next match:
Alden Greene vs. Isiah Cook
The veteran Isiah Cook offers up his hand in a supposed show of gamesmanship but by this point Alden Greene has wised up the other’s devious nature and instead rocks him with a solid forearm! This match is heavy on the strikes, with Cook getting rocked by a series of uppercuts early on, and Greene getting tied up in the corner for a trio of knife-edge chops before he’s able to kick his opponent away. Cook then lures Greene to the outside and attempts to drive him into the steps, only to have his momentum used against him and end up crashing back-first into the steel! Greene follows up by whipping Cook into the barrier and then rolls him back into the ring for a two count.
With his target identified, Greene spends the second half of the match continuing to work on softening up Cook’s back for his finisher. Cook finds a target of his own in Greene’s shoulder, putting pressure on it with a series of arm drags and then stretching it out in a nasty hold for several long seconds before Greene is able to break free. Cook then attempts to throw Greene shoulder-first into the turnbuckle, only for the most to be reversed and end up bouncing face-first off of the top turnbuckle. From there, he stumbles into the perfect position to get rocked by a backbreaker and Greene scrambles into the cover--
Alden Greene def. Isiah Cook by pinfall in 8:42 [59]
A video package recaps Cain Watkins' dominant wins over Alexander Brennan, Brant Dudley and Riley Daniel in previous weeks, as well as defeating his opponent tonight in a tag match on the go-home show.
Cain Watkins vs. Reed Graham
This David vs. Goliath style match gets started with Reed Graham relying on his speed and athleticism to bring Cain Watkins down to his knees. He drops Watkins down to the mat with a dropkick to the back of the neck, but only gets a one-count for his trouble. After that early onslaught, Watkins quickly gains the advantage and whips Graham from corner to corner, then beating him down in the middle of the ring with a series of heavy clubs. Watkins shows off his incredible strength by lifting Graham up from the mat to deliver a hellacious powerbomb, but Graham is able to kick out milliseconds before the three count!
Bewildered by the last second kick out, Watkins is temporarily unfocused for long enough that Graham can create some separation. He ascends to the top rope and rocks Watkins with a missile dropkick, but the big man doesn’t go down. As Graham attempts to repeat his attack, Watkins grabs him off of the turnbuckles and locks him into a sleeper hold. Graham struggles to escape but is unable to do so after being dragged into the middle of the ring, leaving the referee with no choice but to call for the match to end!
Cain Watkins def. Reed Graham by referee’s decision in 6:32 [49]
Madden and Quincy recap how the next title match came to be, with Emmett Solomon winning a #1 Contenders match in dominant fashion against Tye Woodhams, then getting disqualified in a tag match the following week after refusing to stop beating up the champion! They emphasise how much of a challenge this will be for Jason Browne as he seeks to keep his reign as NWL United States Champion going!
Jason Browne © vs. Emmett Solomon (NWL United States Championship Match)
Emmett Solomon has a clear size and strength advantage over the NWL United States Champion, but Jason Browne has proven himself to be anything but a quitter and steels himself against the initial onslaught brought against him. All it takes is for Browne to dodge a corner splash and he’s able to turn the tables on Solomon, staggering the big man with a series of quick strikes before getting him in the perfect position for a tornado DDT. Although impressive, Browne only gets a one count - Solomon still has much more left to give!
The tides turn once again, with the challenger getting the better of the champion and even drawing awe from the crowds with a stalling suplex. He takes a moment too long to drop into the cover, allowing Browne to get close enough to the ropes to reach out with his hand and cause a rope break. A furious Solomon pulls Browne up to his feet, only to get rocked with a step-up enziguri! With his opponent staggered again, Browne ascends to the top rope and delivers his second tornado DDT of the match. Rather than going for the cover though, he climbs up to the top of the opposite corner and hits Solomon with a diving elbow before finally throwing himself on top of the big man--
Jason Browne def. Emmett Solomon by pinfall to retain the NWL United States Championship in 7:38 [64]
Once The Reilly Brothers are in the ring, David Battle enters with a microphone and announces that he's got his confidence back and doesn't need a tag partner, but since NWL's management insists that he has to have one for his agreed match, he's picked someone who won't get in the way...
NWL referee Donovan Marks?!
The Reilly Brothers [Theo & Tommy Reilly] vs. David Battle & Donovan Marks
As soon as the match starts, David Battle orders his tag partner to stay on the apron and not get involved. Donovan Marks tries to protest that he can help, but Battle doesn’t want to hear it! Tommy Reilly, starting for The Reilly Brothers, appears to be amused by the exchange but quickly takes advantage of Battle’s distracted start by rocking him with a massive big boot! The following pinfall attempt only gets a two count, but it does the job in rattling Battle, who is forced to go on the defensive as Tommy continues to build on his early momentum. After several strikes, he whips Battle into the corner and tags in Theo, before whipping his brother towards Battle to deliver a corner splash!
Theo’s advantage doesn’t last for long however, as Battle is able to turn the tides with a shoulder check that knocks the Reilly brother to the mat. From there, Battle begins wearing him down by transitioning through a number of holds and when it appears like Theo is about to fight out, Battle sends him through the ropes and crashing to the outside. While Battle gloats to the crowd, Tommy jumps back in the ring - only for Donovan to join them and attempt to intercept him! Donovan is quickly dispatched through the ropes, but he’s distracted Tommy long enough for Battle to sneak up behind him and send him sailing over the top rope too, landing on both Theo and Donovan for good measure!
After pulling Theo back in the ring, Battle is irate at his inability to get an easy three-count and rains down stomps on the other man until the ref pulls him back. At this point Donovan jumps back on the apron and distracts Battle by requesting a tag into the match. The unintentional distraction allows Theo to get back to his corner and tag in Tommy. The tag team delivers a double flapjack to Battle and Tommy goes for a pin, but Donovan dives in to break it up! Theo dispatches of the ref-turned-wrestler while Battle rolls Tommy up with a schoolboy pin, only for Tommy to escape after a two-count!
While the ref gets Theo out of the ring, Battle sends Tommy off of the ropes and goes for a big boot. The move is dodged and Tommy comes off the opposite rope to deliver a SPEAR that downs the former NWL Champion. He scrambles into the cover, hooking both legs, while Theo holds Donovan back on the outside...
The Reilly Brothers def. David Battle & Donovan Marks when Tommy pins Battle in 8:10 [53]
The Reilly Brothers celebrate on their way up the ramp, leaving a furious David Battle behind. Donovan Marks slides back into the ring to comfort his tag partner, only to get rocked by an elbow and sent through the ropes! Battle follows and clears the announce desk, before getting Donovan up onto his shoulders and POWERBOMBING him through the table! As the crowd jeer him for his despicable actions against a non-wrestler, Battle grabs a microphone and shrieks out a hysterical statement: "I QUIT!" [61]

The overall rating for this edition of Friday Night Wrestling was [69]
Keaton Casey put in a really great performance on this show to elevate his match with Dhorian Greene. Carr and Leben also put on a good match, although I was hoping they'd score a little higher. The Stark and Colesworth segment went great - their storyline is currently the hottest out of everything running. Decided to add in more detail to the finishes as well, so hopefully it adds to the understanding of the characters. Overall not a bad show!

Clyde Goddman & Jonathan Stark def. Danilo Rasussen & Brett Colesworth when Goddman pins Rasussen after a belly-to-back suplex in 11:43 [74]
The overall rating for this edition of Friday Night Wrestling was [72]
Very rough start to this show but it bounced back and the main event delivered with one of the best matches the promotion has had so far, which I'm rather pleased about. Lots of squash matches to try and get over some midcard talent and it didn't completely work, but you live and you learn. Judd Brennan is definitely the weak link in The Vikings too, as his match with Ostlund was disappointing and Ostund's a top tier talent in this promotion.
The stories going into NWL Touchdown...
The new NWL Champion Danilo Rasussen gets his first challenge from a multi-time former champ in Clyde Goddman, who won a #1 Contenders match against Zach Kyler, Riley Daniel and Keaton Csey. In the previous weeks Rasussen has defeated Clyde's brothers Clayton and Clinton, but in the go-home show the champ found himself on the losing side of a tag match where the challenger pinned him ater a belly-to-back suplex. Will Rasussen's reign make it past his first defense, or is Goddman about to become a four-time NWL Champion?
The reigning NWL Tag Team Champions Jeff Leben and Luke Ostlund have found their next challengers in Judd Brennan and Roland Carr, also known as The Vikings. Brennan stoked the flames by labeling the champs as "false idols" and The Vikings have picked up a number of tag team victories since the last PPV. In singles competitions the two teams find themselves equally matched, as Carr has a win over Leben and Ostlund has a win over Brennan. Will the newly emboldened Vikings finally win championship gold for the first time?
Former tag team partners (and champions) become competitors as Tad Underwood goes one-on-one with Wyatt Randolph for the very first time. Their time as a tag team began its journey towards its destructive end during Underwood's feud with Zach Kyler, with Randolph disapproving of his partner's heelish methods. Although the team held strong for several more weeks after Underwood's loss to Kyler, he eventually turned on Randolph after they lost to The Panthers in May Week Four. Underwood holds a win over Randolph in tag team competition after partnering with Cain Watkins, but Randolph is the much more seasoned competitor - who will come out on top after this grudge match?
Multi-time champion Brett Colesworth began making disparging comments about Jonathan Stark after the latter lost the NWL Champion to Danilo Rasussen at the previous PPV, even labelling Stark as a weak champion and poor representative for NWL. Incensed by the comments, Stark stood up to Colesworth and challenged him to a singles match at the PPV to prove himself. Stark even holds a win over Colesworth in tag team competition thanks to the go-home show, but going one-on-one with a legendary performer like Colesworth is a whole other ball game...
Gareth Arryn and Ramon Cole are veterans of the NWL locker room but that's earned them absolutely no respect from the tag team of Kade Briggs and M.J. Barton (The Chiefs) who have continually mocked them in interviews over the past month. Arryn came to Cole's defense during a backstage attack on the go-home show and now these veterans will team up for the very first time to take on one of NWL's emerging tag teams at the PPV!
Since arriving in NWL Cain Watkins has gone undefeated and put everybody he's faced to sleep with terrifying submission holds. Reed Graham came to the defense of one of Watkins' victims and now looks to be the first person to score a win over the intimidating powerhouse.
Insecure after a loss at the last PPV against The Goddman Trio, the usually carefree David Battle began a feud with Theo and Tommy Reilly out of suspicion that they were mocking him. While he beat both brothers in single competition, Battle's cockiness got the better of him as he believe he could defeat them in a handicap match, only to receive a loss. In the weeks since then Battle has lost singles matches against Theo and Tommy and is growing increasingly irate. He will team up with a Mystery Partner on the PPV to take the brothers on in a tag team match!
The final NWL Touchdown card is as follows...

The overall rating for this edition of Friday Night Wrestling was [65]
It actually turns out that Massey & Ryan have great tag team chemistry, so they'll be partnering up more often under the name of Brute Force. Zach Kyler meanwhile massively elevated his match, with his performance of 78 outclassing the other three performers who were between 47 and 51. Storylines are continuing to be built here, and the main event was used to tease further tension between Underwood and Randolph, with some miscommunication almost costing them the match.

Something I forgot to mention previously was that despite being created as a tag team, I actually forgot to give The Underdogs a preset chemistry level and it turns out they make terrible tag partners, hence them being featured in singles matches here. Cain Watkins continue to impress just a few weeks after his debut and scored really well for a simple squash match. Underwood and Randolph finally imploded to set up the next stage of their storyline, and it seemed fitting for it to occur after one final match with Kyler and Woodhams who were responsible for driving a wedge between them in the first place. The Reilly Brothers finally get a win over David Battle, albeit in a handicap match, meanwhile the storylines between the tag champs and The Vikings and Stark and Colesworth are really heating up to lead into the PPV.
Speaking of the PPV, here are the current matches confirmed for NWL Touchdown which takes place in June, Week Two:
