dnmt Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 My NJPW diary was boringly predictable because I already did a lengthy NJ diary. I never played as AJPW, so I should be sticking with this for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnmt Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 [b][color=red]Full cards for "HOLD OUT TOUR 2008"![/color][/b] by [b][color=blue]Dean[/color][/b] - [i]3/9/08[/i] The Jr. Tag League spreads its course over the entire tour. Interestingly enough, Satoshi Kojima is only on the first and last shows. His injury suffered at the hands of Kensuke Sasaki on 3/1 may be more serious than expected, and he may be pulled from the 3/23 card if his status is too poor. We should also keep an eye out for the last Champion's Carnival spot, which is still up for grabs and may go to Kojima if he is able to participate.

dnmt Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 The horrible match ratings can be explained. My Product was very off, and I needed severe adjustments to both Match Intensity and other stuff. I thought this would be the only problem, but the announcers were also bringing matches down. I fixed those problems, and ran my second show with results not [i]too[/i] much better. Then, I looked at the individual stats and my God they were ****ing horrid. Keiji Mutoh had a Selling of 12.4%. That's ridiculous. Tons of people had stats that were very bad, and not even bad solely in my opinion, but bad in comparison to other wrestlers. Mutoh shouldn't have a selling of [b]12%[/b]. So now that that is all fixed, things should be alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnmt Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 [b][color=red]3/21 Results[/color][/b] by [b][color=blue]Dean[/color][/b] - [i]3/21/08[/i] Today's show was the final event before the tour ender, and there have been some interesting developments in the Junior Tag League as well as other issues. For starters, Nobutaka Araya has had an impressive tour, with a record of 4 wins and 2 losses in total. Araya was asked bu Masanobu Fuchi to revert to his serious side for this tour, and Araya seems to have done so...topping it off today with a win against TOKYO GURENTAI's TAKEMURA. The Jr. Tag League will come to an interesting culmination tomorrow. Based on the current score (shown below) the final is already set, and will pit the team of Kaz Hayashi & El Samurai against Ryuji Hijikata & Katsuhiko Nakajima, barring any extreme circumstances. There are still 3 tournament matches on tomorrow's show, but both teams have substantial leads at the moment. Also, in a repeat of yesterday's event, TARU called out Minoru Suzuki to replace ZODIAC in a tag match...but this time, Minoru Suzuki could not pull the win out for his team, as AJPW World Tag Team Champion Joe Doering scored the pinfall over TARU. [b]AJPW, 3/21/08 Kyoto KBS Hall 1,700 Fans[/b] 1. Nobutaka Araya beat TAKEMURA [b](12:57)[/b] with a Moonsault.
