April 2020, Week Four Riley Daniel was injured in his match with the Holt Twins and will unfortunately be missing the weekend's PPV to heal. After a few weeks of scoring 70+ for the shows this was something of a disappointing step back. It was nice to finally see a decent match come from Jonathan Stark, this was his first singles match to score above 70. The stories going into NWL Interception... Jonathan Stark's second challenger as NWL Champion is Danilo Rasussen, who came off his win over Ramon Cole at the last PPV to deliver a statement by attacking the champ from behind in the fallout show. After winning a triple threat against Wyatt Randolph and Clyde Goddman, Rasussen was named as the official number one contender. Since then he Since then he'd had a 2-1 record against the champ in tag team matches and has bested him in a backstage brawl. Is Stark's reign doomed to be a brief run, or has Rasussen gotten a little too cocky? Jason Browne won the NWL United States Champion at the last PPV and defended it against the former champ two weeks later. His next defense was against locker room veteran Lamarcus Davenport, but the match ended in a DQ thanks to the involvement of another disgruntled veteran, Isiah Cook. When more challengers stepped up to argue they deserved title shots against Browne, Cook and Kahlil Jefferson won the right to join the match, making it the second PPV in a row that the NWL United States Championship will be defended in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match! The NWL Tag Team Championships also changed hands at the last PPV, being won by the team of Jeff Leben and Luke Ostlund to start their third reign with the belts. After defeating The Holt Twins in their first title defence, they began feuding with a newly formed tag team in The Chiefs, consisting of former NWL United States Champion Kade Briggs and M.J. Barton. Barton has a singles win over Leben and Ostlund has a singles win over Briggs, but in a ten-man tag team match on the go-home show, it was The Chiefs on the winning side. Can they repeat the process and become tag team champions so soon after their inception? Spinning out the events of the last PPV, Clyde Goddman has teamed up with his brothers Clayton and Clinton (collectively known as The Goddman Trio) to take on a group who have coined themselves as The MVPs of NWL. Three-time NWL Champion Brett Colesworth leads a team of fellow former champions in David Battle and Gareth Arryn, all of whom have banded together with a simple message: Clyde Goddman, nor his brothers, will ever be on the same level as them. In recent weeks Clyde has beat both Arryn and Colesworth, and Clayton scored a win over Battle, but Clinton lost his bout to Arryn and the three brothers were on the losing side of a ten-man tag match on the go-home show. Will the Goddmans be able to prove that Arryn, Battle and Colesworth aren't quite the MVPs they believe themselves to be? The issues between Keaton Casey and Ramon Cole began after the former lost to the latter and then blamed the fans for failing to support him. In a discussion with another member of the roster, Cole suggested that Casey's reaction to his string of losses was the wrong way to deal with things, which prompted Casey to challenge him to a rematch. They exchanged wins in a further two singles matches and Cole teamed up with the NWL Champ Jonathan Stark to beat Casey and Stark's challenger Danilo Rasussen in a tag team match. Casey will get one final chance to prove that his lone win against Cole wasn't a fluke when they go head-to-head for the final time at the PPV, but is he just setting himself up for another loss against the veteran, or will Cole take back-to-back PPV losses? Tad Underwood began stirring up trouble when he suggested in an interview that Zach Kyler was undeserving of the hype and praise he was receiving. After The Panthers lost a tag team match to The Chiefs, it was Underwood suggesting that Kyler would do better by ditching his tag partner Tye Woodhams that finally riled Kyler up enough to confront the other. Underwood beat Woodhams in a singles match and then interfered to give his own tag partner Wyatt Randolph a win over Kyler. This interference caused issues between Underwood and Randolph, and a rematch between Randolph and Kyler took place in a Steel Cage, with Kyler scoring a big win over the veteran. Kyler & Woodhams defeated Randolph & Underwood in a tag team match on the go-home show and at the PPV Underwood will finally have to put his money where his mouth is when he faces off with Kyler for the first time ever! The final NWL Interception card is as follows... Jonathan Stark © vs. Danilo Rasussen (NWL Championship Match) Jason Browne © vs. Kahlil Jefferson vs. Isiah Cook vs. Lamarcus Davenport (NWL United States Championship Elimination Match) Jeff Leben & Luke Ostlund © vs. The Chiefs (NWL Tag Team Championship Match) The Goddman Trio (Clyde, Clayton & Clinton Goddman) vs. The MVPs of NWL (Gareth Arryn, David Battle & Brett Colesworth) Keaton Casey vs. Ramon Cole Tad Underwood [w/ Wyatt Randolph] vs. Zach Kyler [w/ Tye Underwood] Alden Greene & The Reilly Brothers vs. The Holt Twins & Roland Carr [w/ Judd Brennan] Ten Man Battle Royal Please do feel free to join in with your predictions if you would like! The PPV will be posted in two parts again later in the week.

April 2020, Week Two Overall this was a strong edition of Friday Night Wrestling, thanks in part to Colesworth delivering a spectacular promo, and the in-ring bouts between the Champs and their Challengers, as well as the rematch between Ramon Cole and Keaton Casey. Clayton vs. Battle was something of a disappointment, scoring only one point higher than last week's Clinton vs. Arryn, but that storyline isn't flagging too terribly. A hanful of midcarders have continued to get built in the background (Reed Graham, Riley Daniel and Rontay Wheeler) to try and populate that part of the card a little more. Zach Kyler continues to perform wonders, this time outdoing the veteran Wyatt Randolph. His storyline with Tad Underwood is the hottest thing on the show right now. April 2020, Week Three Another fairly decent episode of the show, although I'm disappointed that the main event didn't score higher. Then again, I think that's down to me misbooking Brett Colesworth - the match should have been a minimum of fifteen minutes in order to avoid being penalised for his Slow & Steady trait, I just forgot. That said, the Kyler vs Randolph rematch and Ostlund vs Briggs both impressed which I was really happy to see. The championship scene has been flailing recently... this Stark vs. Rasussen feud isn't doing all I want it to do. Overall though most storylines seem to be picking up steam and the show ratings have been improving so things seem good right now! The next post will cover the last edition of Friday Night Wrestling before NWL Interception and then give a run-down on the storylines heading into the PPV!

March 2020, Week Four By this point, the Goddmans vs. MVPs is the hottest storyline I have going, hence the decision to have the numerous segments and main event over the championship title. Stark and Rasussen are doing okay but they both lack star power compared to the likes of Colesworth, Battle and Clyde Goddman, which has negatively affected Stark's championship run so far. The Underwood vs. Kyler feud is coming along nicely, although there was some credit to Tad's promo in the previous episode, as Kyler's tag partner Woodhams is the one dragging down the scores for these segments which is a shame. Hopefully having him in there with experienced veterans like the other three in this storyline will help him start catching up. April 2020, Week One Off the bat, while I wasn't expecting an incredibly score from Bain vs. Marsh, I'm surprised to see them score as low as 29. On the flipside, the Chiefs angle and the match between Leben & Barton were up in the 70s so that's gonna be kept in mind for the future. Some definite stars to build up in both Barton and Briggs. Browne and Davenport put on a good main event title match to keep building up the former's title run. Again, a little disappointed by the angles for the NWL Championship so that will have to heat up before the PPV. Clinton and Arryn are the weakest workers for their respective sides in the Goddmans vs. MVPs feud which hurt the heat of the feud a little, but I think future match-ups between the remaining four will come in a little stronger. There's still another three Friday Night Wrestling episodes before the next PPV, NWL Interception, but the card is starting to shape up. Here are the confirmed matches so far: Jonathan Stark © vs. Danilo Rasussen (NWL Championship Match) Jeff Leben & Luke Ostlund © vs. The Chiefs (NWL Tag Team Championship Match) The Goddman Trio vs. The MVPs of NWL Battle Royal

March 2020, Week Two I'll be honest, looking back at it, I'm fairly disappointed in my booking for this show. There are far too many lower card matches and not enough story progression, which I think is a result of me spinning my wheels in getting storylines started with the next PPV event still so far away. I'm also a little disappointed in the main event considering it involves four workers who are either Major Stars or Stars for the promotion. I think it's a case of Battle not being suited to longer matches whereas that's where Colesworth excels, making them a poor fit as a tag team. March 2020, Week Three Another relatively disappointing episode, to tell the truth. Once again I'd had higher hopes for the main event match, as well as Arryn/Goddman and the Casey/Cole rematch. Compared to previous weeks, Tad Underwood's promo on Zach Kyler was also a disappointment. I had The Vikings turn heel to try and balance out the relatively lacking face/heel divide in tag teams and paired up Barton & Briggs as The Chiefs for the same reason. Hopefully you can start to see the stories forming in the lead up to the next PPV though. See you next time for another two editions of Friday Night Wrestling leading up to NWL Interception.

February 2020, Week Four March 2020, Week One It was around this time that I remembered that Luca McNeil has the Scatterbrained trait, so having him in scripted matches was what was bringing the grades massively down. Oops! It's also clear that I've got a number of talents who really excel at promo-work but don't necessarily always translate it to in-ring performance, like Colesworth and Briggs. I was also very impressed with Browne's promo on the second show here, as well as obviously the angle between the MVPs and the Goddmans. See you next time for another two editions of Friday Night Wrestling leading up to NWL Interception.

Thanks to anybody following along!

The National Wrestling League Presents... FINAL SHOWDOWN IV "Ladies and gentleman, thank you for sticking with us after that brief intermission and welcome back to NWL FINAL SHOWDOWN! Up next, we'll be seeing multi-time world champ Brett Colesworth taking on the rookie that's been tormenting him with pranks for these past few months: Benson Trevino. Is Trevino about to pull off the biggest upset in NWL history? Let's find out and get straight to the action!" With Benson still down on the mat, Brett angrily demands that the pranks stop, or next time he won't let the submission hold go until he hears bones break! Afterwards, he storms out of the ring to the intense booing of the crowds. Backstage, the newly crowned NWL Tag Team Champions Jeff Leben & Luke Ostlund put over the previous champions, The Panthers. "They've both got incredible careers ahead of them. They're both young... it won't be long until they're challenging for these titles again!" They're then joined by the team in question, Tye Woodhams and Zach Kyler, who congratulate them on the win. Kyler offers his hand for the new champs to shake and, after a slight moment of hesitation, Woodhams does too. They then part ways to allow the new champs to continue celebrating. [61] Backstage, Benson Trevino is having his leg seen to by the NWL medical team, when the company's chief operator Derrick Headley joins him. He claps the young wrestler on the back and praises him for putting up "one hell of a fight" against a tough opponent in his first major PPV match. Although evidently still in pain, Benson seems encouraged by the show of support. [54] While Jason celebrates his title win in the ring, Kade rages and pushes a cameraman out of his way as he returns to the locker room. The titantron then comes to the life as Gareth Arryn makes a hurried entrance, grabs a microphone from the commentary desk and demands Jonathan Stark come out to face him right now - there's already been two title changes tonight and he's not prepared to wait for the third, he wants to be crowned NWL Champion right now! Jonathan Stark emerges and agrees to the early challenge, but promises that Arryn will wish he'd taken the extra time to prepare! Stark staggers back up the ring, holding his retained title high and grinning at the furious Arryn. The commentators spectate that while Stark certainly proved himself as the champion to the fans in attendance, it seemed unlikely that Arryn would cease chasing the title so easily. After Arryn finally leaves the ring, the commentary team then turn their attention to the final match remaining on the card and the new main event, recapping the events that led to David Battle and Clyde Goddman to lock horns. Clyde and the referee roll out of the ring as Battle is left to rage. The ref raises Clyde's hand in victory as the show comes to a close. NWL FINAL SHOWDOWN IV received an overall grade of: 67!

After kicking out at one, Clayton initiates a back-and-forth with Tommy until he ends up backed into The Reilly Brother’s corner. Tommy tags in his brother <strong>Theo</strong>, who delivers a running elbow to the rocked Clayton. As he attempts the pin though, Theo is pulled out of the ring by Dacquan and sent into the steel steps!

While Travone is distracted, Theo returns to the ring to hit him with a neckbreaker but the pin that follows is broken up at two by the now recovered Clayton. While Travone rolls out of the ring, Theo and Clayton exchange strikes before Clayton is able to get Theo into his corner and tag in Clinton.

One half of the tag team champions, <strong>Zach Kyler</strong>, starts off along with <strong>Roland Carr</strong> of The Vikings. They exchange a few holds before getting close enough to the corner for <strong>Tad Underwood</strong> of Offensive Unit to tag himself in off of Kyler. He and Carr trade stiff blows before Underwood turns and knocks Carr’s partner, <strong>Judd Brennan</strong>, off of the apron. Underwood’s cockiness is met by ferocity from Carr, but Underwood eventually escapes to tag in <strong>Luke Ostlund</strong>.</p><p> </p><p> Ostlund and Carr’s exchange is quick and creative but neither are able to lock in a pin before <strong>Tye Woodhams</strong> of The Panthers tags Carr out. Unfortunately his confidence is misplaced as he walks right into a clothesline. When Ostlund then tries to go off the ropes, Woodhams successfully trips him up and the rookie begins raining down blows on the veteran! The ref forces Woodhams off and Kyler beckons him over for a tag. With Kyler back in the ring across from Ostlund, the action once again heats up until Ostlund gets a little too close to the ropes and is hit with a kick to the back of the head by Underwood. Unwilling to take advantage of a dirty hit, Kyler confronts Underwood while Ostlund crawls to his corner and tags in <strong>Jeff Leben</strong>.</p><p> </p><p> When Underwood motions to get in the ring, Kyler kicks him off of the apron. Underwood’s partner, <strong>Wyatt Randolph</strong>, forces a tag with a sharp slap to Kyler’s back and then barrels into Leben, using his larger size to his advantage. On the outside, Underwood and Kyler begin brawling until Woodhamds interferes by leaping off of the apron to deliver a double knees to Underwood. Meanwhile in the ring Randolph shut down Leben’s attempt at a comeback with a spinebuster followed by a pin, only for both members of The Vikings to make the save. Randolph quickly dispatches them, but while he’s distracted Leben is able to gather himself and connect with a Hurricanrana! Despite the impressive move, he only gets a two count as Randolph powers out!</p><p> </p><p> Leben gets Randolph over to his corner to tag Ostlund in, but before they can attempt their tag team finisher, The Vikings rush the ring to put a stop to it. After Ostlund rolls out of the ring, Carr sends Leben into Kyler to knock him off the apron and Brennan hits Woodhams with an elbow to do the same. They then drag Randolph to their corner but argue over who will tag themselves in. Underwood pulls Carr off of the apron with a hard blow, allowing Brennan to remain the legal man. As Underwood attempts to enter the ring, Brennan keeps him out with a knee to the side of the head. Unfortunately the distraction means that he turns right into Ostlund who rocks him with an uppercut and then swipes the legs out from under him. He rushes up to the top rope and delivers a senton to score the three count and make Leben and himself three time NWL Tag Team Champions!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Leben & Ostlund def.

Back again with a rundown of the last two Friday Night Wrestling shows before NWL Final Showdown 2020, and a lowdown on the stories going into the PPV! February 2020, Week Two February 2020, Week Three A preview of the key stories going into the PPV: The recently crowned NWL Champion Jonathan Stark is set to take on his first challenge of his reign from former champion Gareth Arryn, who has continually insinuated that Stark will crumble under the pressure of being the face of NWL. After Danilo Rassusen suggested that Ramon Cole's weekly open challenge was a waste of screentime, the two athletes have struck up hostilities and will face each other in the ring at the PPV to determine who is more worthy of the screentime and spotlight! Multi-time world champion Brett Colesworth discovered that Benson Trevino was the individual that had been pranking him for over a month, but is yet to get the opportunity to dish out any real measure of revenge outside of a single post-match attempt. The rookie meanwhile looks to pull off the biggest upset in NWL history by pinning Colesworth and humiliating him on the PPV stage! David Battle has had a habit of aggravating folks in the locker room with his loud personality, and Clyde Goddman is the latest to step up to him, especiall after Battle's brutal beatdown of Isiah Cook. These two former champions promise to have a very physical match! NWL United States Champion Kade Briggs has traded a number of win and losses with the trio of Jason Browne, Keaton Casey and M.J. Barton over the past several weeks. Now the four of them will meet at the PPV under Elimination Rules - will Briggs' dominant eight month reign as the US Champion continue, or will one of the three upcoming stars of NWL pry the title from his hands? NWL Tag Team Champions The Panthers (Zach Kyler & Tye Woodhams) will face an uphill battle when they not only take on the team of Jeff Leben & Luke Ostlund, but also The Vikings (Judd Brennan & Roland Carr) and Offensive Unit (Tad Underwood & Wyatt Randolph). Will the young champions escape with their titles intact? What started as a friendly competition between three sets of brothers has devolved into a bitter rivalry, as The Holt Twins, The Goddman Brothers and The Reilly Brothers all aim to win their tag team triple threat man to determine not only who the better tag team is, but which pair of brothers has the strongest familial bond! The match card for NWL Final Showdown 2020 is as follows: Jonathan Stark © vs. Gareth Arryn (NWL Championship Match) Clyde Goddman vs. David Battle Kade Briggs © vs. Jason Browne vs. Keaton Casey vs. M.J. Barton (NWL United States Championship Elimination Match) Danilo Rasussen vs. Ramon Cole Brett Colesworth vs. Benson Trevino The Panthers © vs. Leben & Ostlund vs. The Vikings vs. Offensive Unit (NWL Tag Team Championship Match) Reed Graham vs. Thaddeus Ryan Alden Greene vs. Lamarcus Davenport The Holt Twins vs. The Goddman Brothers vs. The Reilly Brothers Please feel free to play along with guesses if you'd like!

I ultimately played fourteen months of this save before deciding to wrap it up and reboot with new additions I had made to the mod over the past several months. I am proud of some of the storytelling I did during this save though, so I've decided I'm going to continue this diary in shortened form, posting the results for the weekly shows and then writing out the PPV shows in full, including passages describing the story progression of the feuds up to the PPV. So, to start, the next three weeks: January 2020, Week Three January 2020, Week Four February 2020, Week One Next time we'll cover the final two Friday Night Wrestling entries before NWL Final Showdown 2020, the first PPV of the year and the highlight of the company calendar!

January 2020, Week Two "Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Friday Night Wrestling with the National Wrestling League..." The second 2020 edition Friday Night Wrestling begins with announcers Michael Madden and Ronald Quincy giving the lowdown on what to expect in tonight's episode: Thaddeus Ryan has a message for Reed Graham, the NWL Champion Jonathan Stark is in action and the main event will be a triple threat between three of NWL's brightest young stars! "But first, we have the NWL Tag Team Champions in action, live on Friday Night Wrestling!" Thaddeus Ryan makes his first appearance on NWL screens since being suspended for his heinous attack on Reed Graham after the other confronted him about bullying behaviour. Unfortunately for Ryan his delivery leaves something to be desired and what is supposed to be a menacing promo in which he warns Graham that their issues aren't over instead ends up as something of an awkward mess. [28] David Battle fares much better than Ryan when broadcaster Jordan Khan catches up with him backstage to ask about the moment between Battle and Isiah Cook in the locker room the previous week. After a brief moment of hesitation, Battle appears to laugh it off: "We're chill, you know. It's all chill. That locker room's always a party, right? They love me - I'm the life of the party! It's all chill, bro. Nothing to see here." As Battle walks away, Khan looks unconvinced... [62] From the commentary booth, announcers Michael Madden and Ronald Quincy announce that Ramon Cole's weekly open challenge is up next! Former tag champions Jeff Leben and Luke Ostlund are in the backstage area when they're confronted by Rakeem Blake and Mac Simmons. Blake explains that they're looking to make names for themselves as the next big tag team in NWL and what better way than to knock off a pair of former champions? The always game Leben and Ostlund agree to the match and decide that they should have it immediately, welcoming the new team to follow them to the ring! [48] The Holt Twins, The Goddman Brothers and The Reilly Brothers are all gathered in the catering area backstage, once again hotly debating which of them are not only the best tag team but the superior pair of brothers. The Holt Twins insist they have the advantage due to being twins, something that The Goddman Brothers immediately dispute. Travone Holt welcomes them to prove him and his brother wrong in a match and the Goddmans agree to meet them in the ring later tonight! [51] Clyde Goddman is alone in the locker room - or so he thinks until he hears rattling from nearby. His investigation reveals Benson Trevino stood at Brett Colesworth's locker with a pair of the other's ring gear in one hand and scissors in the other. Trevino freezes up at being caught in the act but Goddman grins and slaps the younger man on the shoulder. "Keep up the good work, kid!" he praises, "Word of advice though? Try not to get caught. His fists are like damn rocks." He massages his jaw, reflecting on the match from the previous week. As Goddman leaves, Trevino chuckles: "I ain't afraid of no old man..." [58] Isiah Cook confronts David Battle backstage, making it clear that things are not "all cool" as he'd told Khan earlier on in the show. When Cook refers to Battle's behaviour as obnoxious though, the larger man snaps and delivers a wicked elbow to the side of Cook's face! A brawl breaks out between the two that has them colliding with several storage boxes before referees swarm in to pull them apart. Even as they're separated, Battle declares that Cook has no idea who he's messing with! [54] A furious Brett Colesworth marches down to the ring in his ring gear and demands a microphone. "Whoever it is that's messing with me and my stuff, I demand you come out right now and face me!" he tirades, angrily pacing the ring all while the fans cycle between booing him and laughing at his distress. After several minutes when nobody shows their face and the announcers hotly debate about whether or not to tell him about Trevino (Quincy is all for it, delighted at the thought of Trevino getting his ass kicked by a former world champ, while Madden disapproves of Colesworth's arrogance and wants to hear Trevino's motives first), Colesworth leaves with a promise to reign hell upon whoever is response. [87] This edition of Friday Night Wrestling received an overall score of: 69!

Thanks man, I hope you enjoy the read! Next episode coming tonight/tomorrow depending on how quickly I finish writing things up. As for Madden, it's hard to beat a good 'stache!

When he attempts to deliver a cannonball though, Cole escapes and turns the tables on his opponent.

Barton and Keaton Casey aren't exactly the best of friends either. Both teams argue about which wrestler will start the match with Briggs and Casey finally getting things started with a lock-up. The larger Briggs outpowers Casey and gets him into a corner for a few shots to the gut and has to be pulled back by the referee. Casey is quick to bounce back, landing a kick to the side of Briggs' face as the champion rushes back in. Casey's next move is to run the ropes and deliver a jumping clothesline to Briggs, but Barton tags himself in while Casey is near the ropes, and is the one to make the cover. </p><p> </p><p> After escaping with a two-count, Briggs forcefully tags in Browne. Barton and Browne have an electric back-and-forth with Barton pulling out a hurricanrana and Browne working the knee in an attempt to ground his high-flying opponent. The exchange is ended when Briggs tags himself into the much and the much smaller Barton wisely tags Casey in to take another beating. </p><p> </p><p> As the match reaches its climax, Briggs knocks Barton off the apron and lays Casey out with a massive pop-up powerbomb. He's caught off guard when Browne tags himself back in and makes the cover for the three count while Barton attempts to scramble back into the ring! Once the bell has rung, Briggs storms away while Browne celebrates.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Jason Browne & Kade Briggs def. M.J.

It isn't to last for long though as Arryn turns the tide by baiting Strickland into charging at him in the corner and dodges, sending the other crashing shoulder-first into the post.

Ostlund and Randolph start off the affair by showing why they are two of the most respected workers in the NWL locker room, exchanging moves with a fluidity that only comes from years of experience. Randolph and Underwood are the first to make use of tag team maneuvers as Underwood tags in to join Randolph in delivering a double suplex to Ostlund. The cover only gets him a two count but Underwood quickly follows it up by raining down blows upon Ostlund and attempting another cover!</p><p> </p><p> This time Ostlund kicks out with authority at one and pulls Underwood down for a crucifix pin for another two count, forcing the other to roll out and create separation between the two. Ostlund tags in Leben to begin a strike-off with Underwood that ends with the latter rolling out of the ring to escape. Leben gives chase but is driven back-first into the barricade! Ostlund delivers a meteora off the apron to Underwood and is then knocked to the ground himself by a lariat from Randolph.</p><p> </p><p> Both Leben and Underwood beat the referee's count back into the ring and Underwood is quick on the offensive once again. With Randolph back on the apron, Underwood tags in his partner then delivers a backbreaker to Leben. He ensures that Leben is in the perfect position for Randolph to land an elbow drop from the top rope! While Underwood makes sure Ostlund cannot get back into the ring, Randolph pins Leben for the three count!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Offensive Unit def.

For the first few minutes of the bout neither is able to get the upper hand, at least not until Colesworth rakes Goddman's eyes out of the view of the referee and brings Goddman to the ground by sweeping his legs out from underneath him. Knowing he's outmatched when it comes to strength, Colesworth instead relies on his submission game and works Goddman's right leg with a number of stomps before locking in a knee bar. Goddman is able to work his way to the bottom rope to break the hold but is noticeably unsteady as he gets back up to his feet.</p><p> </p><p> Colesworth continues to target his opponent's leg and brings him back down to his knees with a chop block. Following a running knee to the side of Goddman's face, Colesworth is stunned when his longtime rival kicks out of the cover at two! Instead he turns to more devious means, rolling out of the ring and then slamming Goddman's right leg into the post three times until the referee forces him away. Goddman uses the ropes to pull himself back up and successfully uses Colesworth's own momentum against him as the other charges in and ends up getting driven face-first into the turnbuckle as a result. Much to Goddman's frustration though, his cover results in only a two count as well.</p><p> </p><p> Unsurprisingly its Colesworth back on his feet first and he quickly wraps up Goddman's injured leg in the ropes to use the referee's full five count. With Goddman still trapped in the ropes, Colesworth delivers a neckbreaker followed by a leg drop. He takes a moment to savour the jeering of the crowds before locking Goddman into a Cloverleaf with the injured leg taking much of the pressure, and after Goddman struggles and fails to reach the ropes, he is forced to tap out!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Brett Colesworth def.

"It wasn't me," Goddman insists through gritted teeth, "But whoever it is, they're a goddamn hero and I hope they never stop!" The defiant remark prompts Colesworth to repeatedly stamp down on Goddman's injured knee until he's forced out of the ring by referees, ending the show.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>This edition of Friday Night Wrestling received an overall score of: </strong><strong><span style="color:#98FB98;">59</span></strong><strong>!</strong></p></div><p></p>

Hey folks, welcome to my first diary in TEW 2020! This originally started as simple a beta test for my LanceVerse mod but I began getting so involved with the storylines I was putting together that before I knew I had I had flown through four months of content and was eager to share it in the form of a dynasty. You can find out more about the alternate reality the mod takes place in from the linked thread and this post in particular covers more about the NWL promotion. The National Wrestling League was opened at the start of 2016 by industry veteran Derrick Headley and is an all-male promotion offering a sports entertainment product. Now entering its fifth year of operation, it boasts a number of stars as well as up and coming elite athletes. This diary picks up right in the middle of a number of stories: the new NWL Champion Jonathan Stark faces his first challenger; somebody is pranking the increasingly irate Brett Colesworth; notorious party boy David Battle continues making enemies in the locker room; a smaller midcarder stands up to a gargantuan bully; the competition around the NWL United States Championship scene heats up. The NWL Roster NWL Champion: Jonathan Stark NWL United States Champion: Kade Briggs NWL Tag Team Champions: The Panthers (Zach Kyler & Tye Woodhams) Brett Colesworth - Clyde Goddman - Gareth Arryn - David Battle Ramon Cole - Jason Browne - M.J. Barton - Keaton Casey Luke Ostlund - Jeff Leben - Offensive Unit (Tad Underwood & Wyatt Randolph) Lamarcus Davenport - Isiah Cook - Reed Graham - Danilo Rasussen The Goddman Brothers (Clinton & Clayton) - The Reilly Brothers (Theo & Tommy) Alden Greene - Thaddeus Ryan - Benson Trevino - Dalton Strickland The Holt Twins (Dacquan & Travone) - The Vikings (Judd Brennan & Roland Carr) Riley Daniel - Taylen Hines - Kalem Bain - Emmett Solomon Dhorian Green - Stewart Bates - Blake & Mac (Rakeem Blake & Mac Simmons) Also Including: Adrian Hensley - Alexander Brennan - Brant Dudley - Coleton Ray Craig Massey - Greg Campos - Hayden Puckett - Jakobe Lewis Luca McNeil - Rontay Wheeler - Tyler Marsh - William Beckett

They currently have twenty-eight active wrestlers signed to their roster.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="b7b9d9d360fdda62e82ccd1bccae6e06dcef828b.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/8c6d3e1e8967af03ad2ec7a417534975/79a31dd217e68d34-5b/s250x400/b7b9d9d360fdda62e82ccd1bccae6e06dcef828b.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bdcb9c6dc6d60b198b171c752de5058b6916d6a0.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/90bf6d3d7084647f7dbbe17eb93047d0/79a31dd217e68d34-2d/s250x400/bdcb9c6dc6d60b198b171c752de5058b6916d6a0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> After Sloan's passing, management of WWA fell to fellow women's wrestling legend <strong>Margaret Purley</strong>, who appointed <strong>Lois Grey</strong> as the company's new head booker.

Ginny herself is a recent hire to WWA, looking to make a comeback after several years away from the wrestling industry. Turner was a five-time champion in HEW and captured WWA's <strong>Women's World Championship</strong> in 2017. </p><p> </p><p> The current Women's World Champion is <strong>April Savage</strong>, who enjoyed two championship reigns in TBW before signing with WWA in 2017. A rare veteran main eventer without a history in either HEW or TBW is <strong>Josephine Hamilton</strong>, who plays heel just about better than anybody else on the WWA roster and has played the role of the detestable champion twice since being one of the promotion's very first signings. She is currently one of only two women to hold the world title more than once, a fact she is quick to remind her many enemies.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="1efd12b39a2e0e1a3593b2ce0cf142502cd2afc4.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/5acde32314eb2354380b4fc3d9a922c7/79a31dd217e68d34-ca/s250x400/1efd12b39a2e0e1a3593b2ce0cf142502cd2afc4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="c283dceafd93fe3fd245778267d2495b2bccf03d.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/47e95ecc5e55d9150094329093d2c4e9/72c088c7be6d62fc-81/s250x400/c283dceafd93fe3fd245778267d2495b2bccf03d.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="e4d07a47dfbb26ff26f24487e82b82c4ca23caf5.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/c428274c715b4d9499a77dfe405a8392/79a31dd217e68d34-79/s250x400/e4d07a47dfbb26ff26f24487e82b82c4ca23caf5.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="8ab357eb72970f01eab8fbe8f078b7ee80388f36.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/6bb173f27cd53cfdedfa9bb2a0fdc1f6/79a31dd217e68d34-6f/s250x400/8ab357eb72970f01eab8fbe8f078b7ee80388f36.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> WWA also has a burgeoning women's tag team division, including the current Women's World Tag Team Champions <strong>Dora Milaje</strong> (Prisher Bowers & Kadisha Moriri) who are among the promotion's biggest stars.

Thank you so much, man! Rather than another promotion preview, I thought I would instead share some Event graphics that I cooked up and added to the mod this morning. Graphic making is definitely not my strong point, but I had some fun putting them together so here they are, oragnised by promotion: I'm yet to show off the Austin Championship Wrestling (ACW) promotion but they run a pretty basic PPV schedule by holding an event every last Sunday of a month, with appropriately titled names for said events. Fight Club Wrestling currently runs six PPV events per year, all of which feature suitably violent names and a consistent icon style. The National Wrestling League has been my personal favourite promotion to play as so far and make sure is well balanced. They currently run eight PPV events a year and, given the promotion's inspiration, I think you'll all agree that they're suitably named too! To mimic the real life football season, the events are scheduled more frequently during the fall and the winter months, with a lighter schedule throughout the rest of the year.

<p>Time for the next preview! This time it's for one of the larger promotions in the mod, in fact it trumps NWL as the second largest in the game world, which explains why this is a pretty hefty update in comparison to the previous posts!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="b66143a56edbacaa86507022780002125273236f.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/0e87db83813233fa398cfbfb7b8c91cf/7f8c85858e1ad36e-f0/s250x400/b66143a56edbacaa86507022780002125273236f.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="23be64444e9de2e39a80b5b3f399ccf05303db78.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/2ebb2b94d2ed0530b89f1329561ba161/7f8c85858e1ad36e-6c/s250x400/23be64444e9de2e39a80b5b3f399ccf05303db78.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7c6b4ff2605c3c37149bae5abc803fe1867a32ab.jpg" data-src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/0c8aafbb541f88a4c6a8270dfd9423f8/7f8c85858e1ad36e-54/s250x400/7c6b4ff2605c3c37149bae5abc803fe1867a32ab.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> <strong>Tea & Biscuits Wrestling</strong> is a promotion based in South England that is currently owned by CEO Mark Reed.

Thank you so much! Here's another preview of one of the starting promotions in this mod... Fight Club Wrestling is a Canadian-based promotion offering an Anti-Establishment Hardcore product. They have one television show currently on air, Fight Club Weekly. They offer an integrated product with both male and female workers, although the roster is primarily dominated by men. It is currently the smallest promotion in the mod and has thirty active wrestlers on its roster. FCW was founded by hardcore legend Abraham Royce in early 2013 and he was even the first Hardcore Champion in the promotion. The head booker is Royce's former rival Sergei Roma who, like Royce, enjoyed success as a champion in Hollywood Elite Wrestling during the nineties. Their selfish and sleazy attitudes respectively are known to make the backstage area at FCW turbulent from time to time. Seemingly duelling for the position of company figurehead are Erik Bradbury and Ambrose Perry. Bradbury is a former MMA fighter who transitioned into professional wrestling in 2018 and captured the Hardcore Championship in May 2019. Perry is a former two-time United Kingdom Champion from his time on with Tea & Biscuits Wrestling, and is a three time Hardcore Champion, enjoying a fourteen month reign from November 2013 to January 2015, the longest uninterrupted reign by anyone in FCW history. Other notable wrestlers on the FCW roster include Kenneth York, who left HEW to escape the shadow of his older brother. He has since gone on to enjoy a reign with the Hardcore Championship from August 2017 to April 2018. The person he beat for the championship was none other than Taya Delacruz, the only woman to ever hold the Hardcore Championship since its inception in 2013. She also works for the only other promotion based out of Canada, WWA, where she is a former Women's World Champion and Women's Tag Team Champion. Rick Koscheck was the arrogant champion who thought there was no chance of him ever losing his title to a woman, only to be humbled by Delacruz after she forced him to submit in the eventual title match. Since then he has been on a mission to get revenge, and even captured the Hardcore Championship for a second time by beating York, although he only held it for three months before being defeated by Perry. There are plenty more faces on the FCW roster to enjoy but I want to leave some room for surprises. I'll be back next time with a look into one of the more family-friendly promotions in the mod!

<p>Over the past four months I've been working away at this mod and while it's nowhere near done, I wanted to share some more details with you.

Hey folks, I've been in two minds about posting about this so early on in crafting this mod (although I've probablt put at least twenty hours into it so far) but I figured that 'going public' would be good encouragement for me to see it through. I thrive under added pressure, apparently. This was a mod I started for TEW 2016 but never quite finished so I decided to re-tool and update it or 2020. What is the LanceVerse? Basically, the LanceVerse is an alternate reality of the real world, only all of those actors, musicians, models and even online personalities you see on a daily basis are instead involved in the professional wrestling industry. It's not the most unique concept in the world, no, but I've always connected better to games when I can connect faces I recognise to characters and I thought this would, at the very least, be a bit of fun and perhaps worth sharing. Right now the workers I'm including (currently got two-hundred and forty loaded up, although some are missing bios and pictures) are all based on my own interests but the hope is that once I have my initial database finished I'll expand to include areas I'm not as invested in. As such, the starting world will be much more limited than most other mods out there but for a first-time database maker I wanted to keep things small and achieveable! Currently there are six promotions: three operating out of the USA, two from Canada and one from the UK. One of those promotion is all-male, another is all-female, one features integrated wrestling and the other three feature women's division of varying importance. The goal is for each promotion to offer something different in terms of product and playstyle. The Promotions The Workers Anything else? As I'm still working from home (teacher life, yo!), my level of progress each day varies and I won't be setting myself a deadline. Knowing that I've shared this much publically will be enough to keep my head in the game because I don't like not seeing through things I've announced. I will be updating this thread with progress posts as well as some information on both the companies and the workers. Some of it reflects the real life backstories of those individuals - with a wrestling twist, of course! - while some are a little more out there and should hopefully be fun for folks to discover in the future.

Really excited to see where this goes!

The more I play around with the editor to set up my database the more I enjoy the new layout of it. Makes a lot of things quicker in my experience!

<p>I'll be giving NOTBPW a go as they're the only CVerse company I've actually played with in 2016 (I mostly play mods) so I'm interested to see what the shake-up has been there, provided they're still around.</p><p> </p><p> I'm also working on my own alternate reality mod which I'll doubtlessly be playing numerous test runs for over the first few months!</p>
