Extreme Rules was the best thing.

Extreme Rules is shaping up to be a fun show.

The Swamp match is interesting and I love all things Bray Wyatt.

Eye for an Eye should be fun.

MVP has just been awesome since he came back (The new US title is gorgeous)

And Randy Orton has just been amazing all year.

Some things aren't doing it for me (Sheamus/Harry, The Tag Scene) but I'm looking forward to the show.

July 9, 2020

Is Twitch not a broadcaster in this mod?

I think it was removed due to it leading to egregious and unrealistic pop growth.

July 2, 2020

I'm going to outright say it, I despise the new storyline heat requirements. SWF for example requires 5 storyline at 75 heat. That's just insane to me and not only does it discourage the use of midcarders, it's also not realistic. At the moment there is no reward for having that one big storyline everyone is interested in, because they are all measured equally. So what I propose is a cumulative heat meter for storylines. Say it's 1998 and you're WWF and the cumulative heat requirement is 210. You'll have Austin/McMahon at 100 heat which would be a massive cut into that requirement. Not only does it reward you for having a superhot storyline, it's also realistic and doesn't weigh Too Hot/Al Snow on that same level.

ADDENDUM: To avoid someone exploiting the system with 21 awful storylines include a condition that 2 feuds need to be interesting so 70/60.

June 16, 2020

I've always viewed championship as a prop. In the way that they affect the storylines and the characters. They're my "Infinty Stones" in the sense that the characters need motivation to want them and having them affects their character, losing them affects their character, and chasing them affects their character. In SWF for example, does Skull DeBones need the belt to add to his character? If so, why? It's also why I rarely have the big championship on my #1 guy. He's bigger than the belt and his character doesn't need it to get popular, so if HD fued will draw anyway why give him the title? Lengths of reigns depend on story too. That's why I may have 7 different World Champions in a year, sometimes only 1, sometimes 3. It all depends on what stories are being told.

In my current game, SWF got kicked off of their TV broadcaster (Instead of moving to a different time slot). This wouldn't be a problem, except now they're unable to sign with ANY broadcasters for a whole year. Why is that a thing? When IMPACT got kicked off of their broadcasters, they immediately signed with a new one. They were signed with Destination America, before they were officially kicked off of POP. It doesn't seem realistic and just feels like an unnecessary game mechanic that's just their for "simulated difficulty". The only time I can remember this being a thing, was WCW not getting a TV deal, but WCW was a known money dump and replacing WWF with WCW would see a ratings drop. So my suggestion is removing the year limit entirely.

VENUE: STANLEY HALL

ATTENDANCE: 177

ANNOUNCERS:

Marv Earnest and Duke Hazzard

[Rip Chord makes his way down Stanley Hall as the crowd lose their mind at the sight of the legend.]

[Rip is handed a microphone by Marv Earnest as he shakes hands with the commentary team and enters the ring.]

[Rip stands in the center of the ring as the crowd serenade him with a "Ravishing Rip" chant as he fails to hide his smile.]

[RIP:] Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the third annual Rip Chord Invitational Tournament. This tournament is the embodiment of Mid Atlantic Wrestling. This tournament has provided the platform for the stars of tomorrow to make their impact today. And I am proud of what MAW and the Invitational has become. And none of this could be done without all of you here tonight, so to that I say "thank you".

[The crowd cheers at Rip's show of gratitude before returning the favor with "Thank You Rip" and "MAW" chants. Rip seems ready to continue before he is interrupted by--]

[Antonio walks out and grabs a microphone from Marv Earnest at the desk. He walks into the ring and squares up to Rip. Rip looks ready to fight before Antonio raises his hand in front of Rip's face and begins to speak.]

ANTONIO: Calm down, Chord. I'm not going to beat the crap out of an old man. That would be bad for my image. And what's bad for my image, is bad for my wallet. And you should know, Chord. My wallet is everything. Now what's good for my wallet is winning the Invitational. So get your old ass out of Antonio's ring and let Antonio get to work.

[Rip raises his hands in an "I Understand" way and gets out of the ring. He hands the microphone back to Marv as Antonio throws his microphone at Marv. He begins to stretch as Rip makes his way to the back.]

Antonio and Riley McManus square off in a first round match of the Rip Chord Invitational Tournament. Antonio controls the entirety of the match toying with McManus. Sadly Riley never gets in to second gear as Antonio puts him away with the "Italian DDT" in 5:46.

Antonio defeats Riley McManus by pinfall following an Italian DDT in 5:46

Former NCAA Champion and All-American, Jack Jericho makes his debut in the Invitational tonight against Curtis Jenkins. Jericho offers to have a straight wrestling match with Jenkins who replies by slapping Jack across the face and punching him in the corner. Curtis starts the match in high gear as he's running around the ring keeping the match at a fast pace. Unfortunately for him, Jericho is able to take him to the ground and has complete control from then on. He hits a flurry of suplexes before hitting an "All American Slam" for the victory.

Jack Jericho defeats Curtis Jenkins via pinfall following an All American Slam in 7:32

Nirvana Prins makes his debut tonight as the crowd are hot for the former HGC/TCW wrestler. His opponent Jefferson Stardust comes out accompanied by Kristen Pearce who is holding a clipboard that she shows to Stardust ahead of the match. Prins starts the match by targeting Jefferson's right arm. He continues to work the arm with ground moves and slams. Pearce gets on the rope and distracts him allowing Stardust to go after Prins' knee. Stardust works the knee, repeatedly getting instruction from Pearce. Stardust keeps Prins' down and goes up top for a "Stage Dive", however Prins moves out of the way. He grabs Stardust's leg and locks in an Ankle Lock. He then transitions into a Boston Crab, before again transitioning into a Crossface. Stardust quickly taps out, however Pearce is distracting the referee. Prins gets in here face and Stardust attempts a School Boy, however Prins rolls through and hits Stardust with a massive forearm across the face. He then lifts him up and hits a "Falcon Arrow" for the victory.

Nirvana Prins defeats Jefferson Stardust via pinfall following a Falcon Arrow in 9:57

The match starts with both men immediately throwing heavy fists in what can be described as nothing other than a wild brawl. Patriot and Findlay aren't pulling any punches as they lay into each other. Findlay is able to get Patriot down and runs the ropes setting up a massive Lariat, however Masked Patriot counters and hits a "Backdrop Driver" for the victory.

The Masked Patriot defeats Findlay O'Farraday via pinfall following a Backdrop Driver in 4:44

[Marv Earnest is standing at the interview podium with a microphone in hand.]

MARV: Ladies and Gentleman, please welcome my guests at this time: The Firm.

[The Firm make their way out behind the curtain and "Machine" Jean Cattley leads his associates to the interview podium. Cattley is greeted by Marv as they share a handshake. Casey and Cameron both offer and then pull back handshakes from Marv as they stand behind Jean hyping themselves up. Douglas stands to the wayside as he looks all business, neither smiling nor frowning.]

[MARV:]Welcome back fellas. Jean you have been in impressive form recently with six wins in six since June. Tonight not only will the rest of The Firm seek Tag Team Championship opportunities, but you will compete with Citizen X and MAW Champion Erik Strong for the Championship. How important is tonight for The Firm?

[CATTLEY:] Marv, tonight is a very important night for The Firm. It was this night two years ago when I, alongside Steven Parker, Al Coleman and this man right here, Ricky Douglas, first joined forces to form the greatest collection of talent in Professional Wrestling history at that point. I say at that point, because with Casey and Cameron right here, The Firm as only gotten stronger. You see Marvin, The Firm was formed with one singular purpose. To consolidate all the best talent in MAW, to consolidate all the championships in MAW and to control MAW. Because he who holds the gold, is the one with the power. And right now the most powerful man in Charlotte is not Rip Chord, hell it's not Pat McRory. It's Erik Strong. And tonight, when I plant him down with a Mood Swing, I will be the most powerful man in Charlotte. And when they squash those Canadian bugs, they become one step closer to the Tag Team Championships. You see Marv, this is a very important night for The Firm. For it is Step 1 in gaining complete control of Mid Atlantic Wrestling.

[MARV:] Ladies and Gentleman, The Firm.

[Cattley gives Douglas and C-V-2 a quick pep talk before walking to the back as they enter the ring ahead of their Six Man Tag Team match.]

The Firm and The Canadian Blondes have a contrast of styles as the high-flying Blondes are up against the technical and hard-hitting Firm. Oscar and Flash have seamless teamwork and amazing chemistry as they have control for the majority of the time either of them are in the ring. Unfortunately whenever Huey is in the ring, it all falls apart. Casey, Cameron and Ricky are able to keep him in their half of the ring. The Blondes get back into the match as the two teams get into a massive brawl in the ring. Oscar and Flash take out Casey and Ricky as Huey is brawling with Cameron. Flash and Golden hit stereo dives on Casey and Ricky, however Vessey pushes Cannonball into Oscar, which makes him miss his dive on Casey. Huey is able to counter a suplex attempt into a DDT. He sets up Vessey in the corner for a "Cannonball Run", however he is intercepted and takes a "Shot Of Valentine" from Casey. This allows Vessey to hit a "Vessey Driver 2.0" for the victory.

The Firm defeat The Canadian Blondes after Cameron Vessey pinned Huey Cannonball following a Vessey Driver 2.0 in 11.10

[Oscar and Flash are helping each other back up outside of the ring. Huey is staggering in the ring as Oscar and Flash get back into the ring. They start yelling at Huey and start berating him. He fetches their Tag Team Championship Belts and hands it to them. Oscar and Flash walk ahead of Huey leaving him in the ring as they exit behind the curtain. He then slowly makes his way to the back.]

[Marv Earnest is once again at the interview podium.]

[MARV:] Ladies and Gentlemen, Citizen X.

[Citizen X makes his way out behind the curtain as the crowd vehemently boo "The Anarchist".]

[MARV:] Mr. X, you have repeatedly stated your disdain for Mid Atlantic Wrestling as an organization. Why throw your hat in the ring for a Championship match?

[X hesitates before answering the question as the crowd begin to boo him again. An older portion of the audience start a "Commie Bastard" chant at him. X's smile grows and grows as he revels in the hatred the Mid Atlantic fanbase throw at him.]

[CITIZEN X:] Mid Atlantic Wrestling is a breeding ground for organised control. Barbarism for the sake of entertainment for people who give their money to corporations who control them. And then they attack me for trying to open their eyes to the corruption that holds them down. They attack their saviors.

[MARV:] I'm sorry, I hate to interrupt my guests. But they don't hate you for opening their eyes, you repeatedly insult these people.

[CITIZEN X:] They hate me, for I tell them the truth. They have been brainwashed by the true elite. By the New World Order, by the --

[MARV:] Give me a damn bre--

[CITIZEN X:] The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth. These people grovel at the feet of a flag. The flag of a nation built on valleys of blood. Then they have the audacity to celebrate the lives of those who bloodied those valleys. Your inability to understand this, shows your blindness to the truth and proves that you are just as brainwashed as all of them. This interview is over.

[X tosses the microphone at Marv before going to the bleachers. He starts jawjacking with the audience before leaving through the curtain.]

Jericho seems to have learnt from his mistake earlier in the night and immediately rushes Antonio taking him to the mat and working him over. Antonio is crafty however and his training from Rip Chord shows as he's spacial awareness allows him to escape Jericho's grasp and hook the bottom rope. Jericho's attempt at more mat wrestling is countered as Antonio gets in a swift eye poke and turns the match into a brawl. Jericho is able to get in the lead again and starts driving Antonio into the corner. He gets a head of steam and goes for a diving spear in the corner, but Antonio rolls out of the ring. He grabs Jericho in a school boy and has his feet on the ropes for the win.

Antonio defeats Jack Jericho via pinfall following School Boy with his feet on the ropes in 7:44

Prins and Patriot lock horns in a clash of styles. The monstrous Masked Patriot uses his size advantage to take the early lead of this match. He throws Prins around like a ragdoll and impressively presses him over his head before dumping him in the centre of the ring. Patriot attempts to splash Prins in the corner, however Prins moves out of the ring and dropkicks Patriot's leg. He stomps his knees which keeps him down. He begins working the arm and keeps Patriot down. They start trading momentum, until Prins hits a massive knee to Patriot's jaw. He goes up top for a Frog Splash, however Patriot moves out of the way. Patriot raises Prins for a "Backdrop Driver", however Prins wriggles himself out and chop blocks Patriots knee. He swiftly wraps his leg around Patriot's arm and locks in the Crossface for the win.

Nirvana Prins defeats The Masked Patriot via submission with a Crossface in 15:20

[Marv invites Prins down to the interview podium. He looks like he's about to interview him before--]

[Antonio interrupts them. Antonio walks up to Prins and they square up. Prins is smiling cockily while Antonio has a look of confidence, but also focus. He walks down to the ring and invites Prins to join him. Which he does.]

Prins and Antonio start the match staring down at each other before Prins offers a fist bump to Antonio, which he decline. Prins attempts a German Suplex, but Antonio goes after Prins' hurt leg. He methodically works the leg as he brings the match down to a snail's pace. Antonio wraps his leg around the bottom rope and starts stomping it. Antonio's "Italian DDT" is countered into a flurry of German Suplexes. Prins' 4th Suplex attempt results in his knee buckling and Antonio takes control again. Antonio begins to get cocky and stands on Prins' knee as he poses. He climbs the middle rope and hits a Diving Knee Drop on Prins' knee. He begins slapping Prins before hitting a Back Suplex. He then lifts Prins' up for an "Italian DDT", however Prins counters into a Dropkick. He attempts a "Falcon Arrow", but his knee buckles and he is hit with an "Italian DDT". Antonio pins him, but Prins kicks out at 2. Antonio gets frustrated and tries to lock in a Figure-Four Leglock, but Prins rolls it into a small package. Antonio kicks out at 2. Antonio rushes Prins, who counters with a Belly-To-Belly Suplex. Antonio get's up and Prins goes for a "Falcon Arrow" again and Antonio slips out. Antonio goes for an "Italian DDT", but Prins counters and locks in the Crossface and Antonio finally taps.

Nirvana Prins defeats Antonio via submission with a Crossface in 18:27

[Prins can barely stand as Jay Fair raises his hand. He looks down at Antonio and slowly kicks him out of the ring. He hobbles towards the middle of the ring as raises his hands in the air as the crowd cheer. Unfortunately he collapses down to one knee as he celebrates. Rip Chord enters the arena and has the Rip Chord Invitational Trophy in his hand. He enters the ring and helps Prins up. He hands him the trophy and he and Prins embrace in the center of the ring. The crowd cheer as the two are in the ring. Rip leaves and allows Prins his moment with the Trophy. He raises it above his head, but once again buckles under the pressure. Fair helps him up as he hobbles out of the ring with the trophy in hand.]

Strong begins the match working together with X to take down Cattley. The two highfliers then begin to work a high flying match. Cattley rushes back into the ring and all three men start brawling. X and Cattley both grab ahold of Strong and launch him out of the ring. X is then attacked by Cattley as he takes him to the ground and begins to outwrestle him. He hits a massive Powerbomb on X. He lifts him for a second Powerbomb, but it is countered into a Frankensteiner. X begins stomping away at Cattley in the corner, before hitting a Tornado DDT on him. Strong pulls X out of the ring and drives his face into the turnbuckle. Strong gets into the ring but is rolled up by Cattley. Strong is able to kick out at 2 but is grabbed in a Fisherman's Suplex, that is rolled into a regular Suplex. He goes for the cover, but Citizen X launches from the top rope and hits an "X Marks The Spot" on Cattley. He pins Cattley, but Strong makes the save. X begins stomping on Strong and Cattley grabs him from behind with an O'Connor Roll, but X kicks out. He and X start brawling and Strong goes for a Diving Crossbody, but is caught. The hit him with a Double Powerbomb. X goes for a reverse DDT, but Cattley counters it into a Bodyslam. He grabs X and goes for a mood swing, but X counters it into a Swinging Neckbreaker. He goes to the top rope and attempts an "X Marks The Spot", but Jean rolls out of the way. X runs at him, but is caught with a "Mood Swing". Cattley drapes himself over X...1... 2... "Strong Sault". Erik lands on Cattley and X and rolls Cattley off. He pins X for the victory to retain the Championship.

Erik Strong defeats Citizen X and "Machine" Jean Cattley when he pinned Citizen X following a Strong Sault in 17:32. Erik Strong successfully defend the Mid Atlantic Championship.

In terms of Hogan, he draws the way he's needed to. TV numbers, like I said 500k tuned in to see him and Flair and immediately tuned out. If that's not being a draw, then what is? A draw brings eyes to the product and that's what Hogan does.

May 31, 2020

To give my personal thoughts i would say outside of jericho and the other people in aew that have worked wwe I would have nobody higher than 50.. hearing someone say peter avalon is a 40 shocked me as I'd have him 25 at best...at the top end the special case of aew the elite i would have kenny at 60..cody at about 60-65.. bucks 55 as they are still very much niche.
There is a reason aew compete with the 3rd brand neck and neck and not with the raw or smackdown.. they are not over enough

As already mentioned though popularity is subjective to a person although these days wwe has no competition in USA and are way ahead popularity wise and their stars should reflect this.

On the topic of older guys they do move the needle for me evidence is goldberg recently etc

100% Agree

May 31, 2020

In terms of TEW the best way to scale popularity is to take WWE as a base, and think about were a wrestler would be placed on the card if WWE were to sign them, most indy guys come in at midcard/lower midcard and work their way up.

If you scaled popularity on viewership, anybody wwe signed end up as jobbers.

Is that not the point of NXT? Put these guys in the public eye, so that when they are called up, people actually know who they are? Ciampa, Gargano, Almas etc. would be jobbers to the audience,without NXT, and then be booked strongly to gain overness.It's an inherent problem with TEW and how it can't simulate actually popularity, because of how the CV has changed that perception.

May 31, 2020

In regards to popularity, how pop is scaled needs to be based on viewership. Take for example Nick Aldis and Seth Rollins. They are both main eventers and are booked strongly on their shows. However Aldis is seen by 200k people and Rollins by 2 million. Using scaling, there's about 3,5 million US viewers for wrestling. And just being very generous, let's say all 200k who have seen Aldis wrestle in the NWA are American. Aldis is still seen by 10% of the audience that sees Rollins wrestle every week. So in no way should he be near Rollins in terms of pop. Let's take Okada for example, in Japan he'd be about 80 pop. In America, going off of New Japan's numbers in America, he'd be at about 40 to 50. And that's being generous.

EDIT: On the Hogan debate, he is absolutely a draw. Just last year 500k tuned in for his segment with Flair, then immediately tuned out when it was over. If that isn't a draw, I don't know what is.

I think it's cool. Especially if say Eugene or a comedy character won it via fluke. Or an egomaniac character won the titles. There is weeks worth of segments of people "courting" the champions and trying to convince them to pick them as their partner.

May 29, 2020

With only one week to go to the RCI, I was finally able to watch the boys work out their matches in the ring. Rip and I had put together the matches with them and now I'm finally able to see them in action. I felt an odd sense of pride watching Riley McManus lock up with Antonio. This feeling of bliss was interrupted by one of the boys coming up to me with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

???: Hey boss, can we talk?

NT: Sure, what is it?

??? Can.... we talk in your office? I got something to show you.

I got up and started moving towards my office. It was surprisingly tense as we walked past Oscar and Zoe, trying desperately to keep their new relationship a secret and failing. I just chalked it up to the fight that happened last month between the two. We made it to my office and I was handed a very official looking document. It wasn't long before I understood the tension.

NT: FU*&!

Atop the paper read "SUPREME SPORTS INC." and I dropped it down on the desk. I rubbed my hand through my hair as I didn't know how exactly to process what was happening.

NT: So.... SWF huh?

???: Yes. Mr. Eisen... Richard called me directly. He sees money in my gimmick and thinks I can connect with their core audience. I know Ozzie and Flash declined their offers last week, but this... I can't pass this up.

NT: Yeah... This.... It's the chance of a lifetime. I'm not gonna ask you to pass this up. Did you talk to Rip about this?

???: ....

I cracked an awkward smile to try to ease the tension, to no avail. I slowly nodded my head as I realised why he came to me. If this was TCW or USPW, he'd have gone straight to Rip. But this is SWF, this is Eisen... This is very different.

NT: You didn't talk to Rip.

???: You know how he feels about Eisen. I was hoping you could talk to him.

NT: I see... What about...

???: The RCI? I know you were going to "coronate" me. But this is big money, money I can't turn down. I did talk to Jerry and Eric though, they convinced Mr. Eisen to let me work the show.

NT: Rip is gonna be pissed. But you have my blessing at least. I'll talk to the guys and we'll rework things.

???: Glad you understand.

NT: Yeah, I understand. Call them in. We have work to do.
