NYCW: Life In The Big City

[Bye1918]

My story isn't really worth telling at all. But seeing as you're here, I guess I'll spill a little, eh? The only reason you guys are here is that my walk took me down the wrong part of town. You know the places. Fifth Avenue, Broadway, those kinds of places. So I was walking down Fifth Avenue, looking up at all the pretty colors and all the screens, when I stop for a hot dog. Love them hot dogs neh? I eat my dog, and keep on going. But there's this homeless guy on the street. Now, the residence impaired usually stay off of the big streets. but not this time. This guy had a sign out that said "Look behind you." And me, I'm a gullible son-of-a, so I did. And whack, I went down for the dammned count. And for some reason, no one f***ing stirred. No screams, no cries for help, just quiet. I woke up, I dunno how much later. It was pitch black, and I mean PITCH black. I couldn't see s***. But then, neither could my abducta, ya know? So, I woke up, and this guys fumbling around looking for something. I don't know what, but he's definitely lost. He keeps looking for a light, but keeps running into the damn wall. That makes me feel so damn good about the situation. Not only do I have to get kidnapped by a crazy, he's a dumb one too. Finally he finds it, and I get my first look at 'em. He's huge. And I don't mean normal huge, I mean DAMN huge. He walks around the room, and stands in front of me. By the way, I'm f***ing tied to a chair. One of those hardback motherf***ers. He stands there a while, grinning, which just makes me more worried. Finally, he opens his mouth and says: [COLOR="Magenta"]"What do you know about wrestling?"[/COLOR] Wrestling? [I]Wrestling?[/I] Dammnit, this is one crazy son-of-a b****! I mean, I know a little something, I've watched some SWF in my day, and once or twice I've gone down for a DAVE show, but It's not the focus of my damn life. And I tell that to the crazy. [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"It's not the center of my damn life."[/COLOR] He just smiles wider. This can't be a good thing in any sense of the word. [COLOR="Magenta"]"Well, It's about to be. My name's The Stomper, and you're the new head booker of New York City Wrestling.[/COLOR] Dammnit, I was right. This was not good, in [I]any[/i] sense of the damn word. NYCW was the wrestling promotion I had tried to avoid like the plague. Not easy to do when you live right in their home base, but I did my best. Because NYCW was the slowest, oldest, stupidest wrestling alive today. They were worse then USPW! It's like they were designed like "Hey, I like the 70's! Let's wrestle like we were there!" And so they go, preying on the golden oldies of the industry, and managing to build a little reputation. Due to what, I don't know. [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"Not if I've got anything to do with it motherf***er. NYCW is the worst promotion in the city, let alone the world."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Then you change it. I'm sick of losing money, I'm sick of not going anywhere. Bailey's out as booker, you're in. End of Story."[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"You want a change, so you go kidnap some poor shmuck off the street?!"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Who else's gonna work for NYCW?"[/COLOR] He had a point. [COLOR="Magenta"]"I'll give you free room and board. Cable, utilities, the works."[/COLOR] In New York City, that's nothing to sneeze at. I was currently between engagements, so it sounded like a good idea. Plus, he said I could change the promotion. [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"You said I could change the promotion up?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Within reason. I've only got four rules. We've gotta have more money in two years then we do know. We've gotta be more popular then we are know. No steriod machines, they tear up my s***. And fer christ's sake, Don't go into debt at any time. [/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"Done, Mister Crazy Stomper guy. I'll take the job."[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Good for you, you start tommorrow. Show up."[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"Done."[/COLOR] And I was off on my journey of magic and wonder. Wait, magic and wonder? More like fighting to make the worst promotion in the dammned world, the dammned best!

[Bye1918]

I got to the office at Nine O'Clock A.M. sharp. And there was no one there. Every door in the place was locked, and there was absolutley no one in the area. So I sat down and waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, around Noon, a cab pulled up, and dumped The Stomper on the pavement. The cab then squealed away, pulling out as fast as it could. [COLOR="Magenta"]"Oh....my head. What time is it?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="DarkOliveGreen"]"Stomper! It's Twelve O'Clock! Where the hell were you? You said nine o'clock sharp!"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]Oh, I had a bit of a late night last night mate, lemme regain a bit of me strength. Go to ya office, should be a roster list in that whereabouts..[/COLOR] [COLOR="#556b2f"]"The doors are locked!"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Ah. I'll get ye a key before the day is over."[/COLOR] [COLOR="#556b2f"]"Where'd you get an accent overnight, anyway?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"I was drinking a wee bit of Guiness."[/COLOR] [COLOR="#556b2f"]"Oh, my... Can you just open the door?"[/COLOR] He opened the doors, and I walked up the stairs to my office. Except there was no office. There was a bathroom. With my name on it. I opened the door, and there was a desk there, with the normal office things. This is just turning out spectacularly. There was a pile of papers on the desk. The first was a week's notice from Roger the Dodger, who was leaving for RIPW. Wunderbar. Then there was a roster page, with the following on it. I've added my own commentary, for a bit o'fun. Main Event: Black Hat Bailey: Brooklyn Crap. Grandmaster Phunk: Pimp Crap. Whistler : American Crap. Upper Card Honest Frank: Honest Crap. Rick Sanders: Veteran Crap. American Machine : Patriot Crap. Mid card Steve Flash: Talented Crap. Coyote Dyanmite and Wiley Steinway: Tag Team Crap. Lee Wright: Old But Good Crap. Land Mass: Fat Crap. Lower Mid Masked Mauler: Scary Crap. New York Doll: Young Crap. Sammy the Shark: Young Crap 2. Rodger Dodger: Leaving Crap. Manager\Staff Herb Stately: Manager Crap. Marv Earnest and Rock Downpour: Announcer Crap. Fern Hathaway: Eye Candy Crap. [COLOR="Magenta"]"Oh, I've been struggling a little to pay those big salaries, so some of 'em may have to leave. Like that Steve Flash."[/COLOR] [COLOR="#556b2f"]"Perfect, the most talented worker on the roster. I think you have to let me sign some talent." [/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Whatever mate, I have to go sleep this off."[/COLOR] One more piece of paper: New York City Wrestling Empire Title Date Of Victory Champion October 2006 Grandmaster Phunk March 2006 Joey Minnesota (2) August 2005 American Buffalo (3) February 2005 Whistler (2) May 2004 Joey Minnesota January 2004 Whistler March 2003 American Buffalo (2) November 2002 Paul Steadyfast June 2002 The Stomper (2) January 2002 American Buffalo August 2001 The Stomper (unifies NYCW World and NYCW United States championships) NYCW Regional Title History September 2006 Steve Flash May 2006 Grandmaster Phunk February 2006 Nevada Nuclear October 2005 Travis Century The Stomper finally struggled through the door. There was a website on the computer that said "Other Workers" above it. Lovely, a beautiful list of all the available talent in the world of wrestling. I called up a few of the workers, and sat back, waiting for the responses. They came back. Damn fast. Do these people have anything else to do in their lives then to sit by the computer? Eh... Here's the rundown on the signings. Frankie Perez Des Davids Kashmir Signh Thomas Morgan Cal Sanders William Hayes Yays, guys who can wrestle! But who aren't over! Oh well, I'm getting there. It was five o'clock. Woo! I love fast days. Stomper stomped by. [COLOR="Magenta"]"See you tommorow, then?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="#556b2f"]"Sure. How many days till our first event, anyway?"[/COLOR] [COLOR="Magenta"]"Now? Eleven days until NYCW Rush Hour."[/COLOR] Gulp. Eleven days to think of some kind of a plot, some kind of a story. [COLOR="Magenta"]"You can meet the boys tommorow."[/COLOR] Oh boy.

Good luck. NYCW is a personal favorite of mine. Lets see if someone else can take her out over 5 years in a dynasty like I did. It would be nice to compare where they ended up. :D

[Bye1918]

I stepped into the office the next day with a bit of apprehension. Meeting the wrestlers. The men whose lives I now controlled. I decided their fates, glory, or despair. Triumph, or anguish. MUHUHAHAHAHA! Sorry about that. Anyway, I walk into the room, with the "talent" standing before me. Old guys, fat guys, young guys, big guys. Anyway, just a few pleasantries here. We didn't do anything much, just said "Hey, I'm the new booker, so, there you go." But that's not the point here. As I walked back to my office, I was jumped by Black Hat Bailey. He pressed me up against the wall and said: "[COLOR="DimGray"]"Don't f*** it up son. This may not be the biggest promotion, but it's our lives. Do it right, or I'll make you pay for it, eh?"[/COLOR] Ooooh, scary. But I really do intend to do my best. I'm gonna do this company right, as well as I can. Now, on to what I was going to do.

[juggaloninjalee]

Ok I will start by saying at first I didnt like the backstory but now that I have read through this again I like it. This may make me start an NYCW game.

[MrOnu]

No chemistry between Flash and Hayes... wow that sucks ! A okay first show, now let's see where you're going next.

Trying to turn the company around, especially in the early days, is difficult. Trying not to hemmorage money and die, even more difficult. [QUOTE=MrOnu;231242]No chemistry between Flash and Hayes... wow that sucks ! A okay first show, now let's see where you're going next.[/QUOTE] First show's always the hardest!

[Irish Wolf]

No dont't get rid of flash he is the saving grace of NYCW just don't use him as often. *Holds up his "Steve Flash For Life" Sign*

[juggaloninjalee]

KEEP FLASH and like Apu said just use him bimonthly or something... make him your world champ and use him sparringly!

[Irish Wolf]

Also when you renegotiate his contract he won't ask for a downside (usuall) so you won't have to pay if you don't use him. and there's no such thing as "it's not worth keeping" when some one has an A Psych and an A respect he's really the only thing worth keeping.

[Dragonmack]

the only problem is since he starts at 1500 and won't take a paycut, Stomper never lets you re-sign him as he won't allow you to spend more than 1100-1200 for his contract. Believe me, I have tried to keep him as he is the only one who can get a good match out of the starting roster.

[MrOnu]

I hate that Stomper guy. In my game, Flash was fine with taking a pay cut, but Stomper said it was not enough. Mind you, I was 100-150$ away from retaining him. Damn you Stomper !

[Dragonmack]

The Really annoying thing is that when you are playing another promotion, the AI can re-sign Flash indefinitely. Talk about some hidden advantages for the AI :mad:

[Bye1918]

That's one of the main things I'm afraid of. The other will come to pass sooner or later, and I have a sneaking suspicion it'll be sooner.

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]"Last time we faced off Grandmaster Phunk, you beat me. I admit that. But tonight, I would like to challenge you to a non-title matchup, here in The Weston Gymnasium. I don't deserve another title match right now, but if I beat you tonight, I deserve one more. Oh, and Phunk? This isn't asking, this is warning. The match's been signed by The Stomper, and is happening TONIGHT."[/COLOR] (C) [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/bsumystic/WilliamHayes.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d76/JuggaloNinjaLee/TEW%20Game/ODW/FrankiePerez.jpg[/IMG] Frankie Perez d.

Listen Freddie, dawg, I'm so hip I can't see over my pelvis. So man, there is no way I'm losing to you tonight. After you're all bruised and broken, maybe you'd like to invest in the services of one of my fine escorts? That's the only thing you'll take from me tonight!"[/COLOR] (B-) [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/bsumystic/wrestlers%202007%20A%20-%20N/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg[/IMG] and [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/bsumystic/wrestlers%202007%20A%20-%20N/DesDavids.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/bsumystic/wrestlers%202007%20A%20-%20N/wrestlers%202007%20O%20-%20Z/WileySteinway.jpg[/IMG] and [IMG]http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j231/bsumystic/wrestlers%202007%20A%20-%20N/CoyoteDynamite.jpg[/IMG] Lost Yardage (Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Des Davids) defeated Wiley Coyote in 7:46 with a Quarterback Sack.

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]"Get outta here girlie, I've got know quarrel with you. My issue's with Jesse Christain. Last month, I lost my Championship to him, but it wasn't fair.

If I win, you leave NYCW until I lose this belt!"[/COLOR] (C) He savagely kicks the groaning Datsun several times, as the show ends. [B]Show Rating: C[/B] NOTES: WOW! Look at that rating!!! I didn't expect to hit "C" for some time, but so I did. But the show cost too much [I]AGAIN.[/I] I'm going to have to shake-up the roster. I didn't want too, I wanted it to retain the NYCW feel, but I can't afford it. So expect to see a new kind of New York City Wrestling in the weeks to come.

If money is a huge issue I would probably stop running dark matches unless it included some guys already on the card... that way you are getting double duty out of them.
