Do you just use paint or photoshop for your articles? I love this style and would like to use this when I begin a diary.

[Michael Wayne]

haha, good luck doing that in MS Paint.

[Richyg]

hehe got to love MS Paint lol No, its photoshop. I was gna do it in Adobe inDesign but Photoshop is easier as I'm alot more familiar. The newsletter will begin to become more flashy as i add features to it :)

[KaiserJoe]

I've decided to play as 21CW so I'll be keeping an eye on this.

[Marcel Fromage]

Best of luck, Richy. Have started to play around with 21CW in the demo...not easy!! A cult promotion with one wrestler at D overness and another at D- overness and the rest struggling below that. Very hard to get ratings at first. Hopefully you'll do well with this though. :)

I love Stevie Stoat. Hopefully he gets a push in this diary.

[Regis]

The best thing to do, from everything I've seen and heard: any of your stars who can get good ratings off angles, milk them for all they're worth. You only have to pay them once per show, so get three, maybe four long segments out of them? And get Jeff Nova on-screen. Get him talking, because the crowd like him!

I think I may add a little segment called Nova's Natter or something where he interviews other highly rated stars.

Well, I wish you definite success with the diary and it's been a good start but it's also somehow good to see that I'm not the only one struggling for ratings with 21CW!! My shows so far have been D- or D, so we're in pretty much the same boat. Oh, and boooo for Patterson winning the MOSC belt off Jones. And it looks like you're going hardcore with your potential signings!

Chuck Frisby was the first to go, he was nailed by a DJ Reason dropkick over the top rope. …Chuck Frisby Eliminated… Psycho and The Ripper were trying to push Larry Wood over the rope in the corner, soon after Mister King tried to help too, seeing the monster as a major threat. Wood managed to grab both King and Psycho by the throats and launch them over the rope behind him. … Mister King and Psycho Eliminated… The Ripper face up the giant but he was floored by a big boot by Wood. Wood literally rolled him out by kicking him. … The Ripper Eliminated… Wood was at the edge of the ropes when Harry Wilson took advantage and beat Wood from behind before hitting a wonderful superkick which sent him over the ropes. …Larry Wood Eliminated… Five men remained, Cooper and DJ Reason were separated. Morgan was left standing in the middle of the ring wondering what to do and began shrugging to the crowd. Ward and Wilson seemed to turn their attentions towards Morgan at the same time, but Morgan broke free and it left Wilson and Ward facing each other in the centre of the ring. The three other men let them stare each down. They went at it hammer and tong will Wilson finally getting the other hand, he whipped Ward towards the rope and Morgan simply lowered the top rope so Ward crashed to the floor! … Glen Ward eliminated… Wilson wasted no time and turned to attack Cooper, Cooper seemed really tired by this point and Wilson pushed Cooper further and further towards the corner, they both leant against the ropes until DJ Reason came along and clothesline them both. … Harry Wilson and Phillip Cooper Elminated… It left DJ Reason and the ROF guest, Walter Morgan, to try and complete the match. An even contest between two very skilled competitors end up with Morgan forming some kind of modified Wigan Wrench against the tope onto Reason. Reason was riding in agony and went limp. Morgan proceeded to clothesline Reason overt the ropes to score the win and become the 2008 Jeff Nova Invitational Battleground champion.

He left Price reeling for most of the match but in the end he had to finish Price off with a Dog House Piledriver.

Celtic became the focus of countless double team maneuvers and was begging for a tag. Celtic managed to wriggle free and made a tag to Lodnon who laid into the two challengers but it was to be in vein as London was almost behind by an Ivan clothesline! Celtic was wasted at ringside by London had to tag him in… Celtic wandered gingerly into the ring as was caught out when Igor hit him with a Soviet Missile and sent him crashing to the floor, London was on the floor at ringside and let Celtic be pinned for an Ivanoff Win!

He had total control over the champion and looked the favourite but his ****iness came back to bite him as DBF landed some good moves. Stoat seemed to slip something out of his pocket and nailed DBF. He covered DBF with just a foot on the chest… 1… 2… Kick Out! Stoat looked angry… he aggressively applied a variated Figure Four Leg Lock to DBF but DBF countered it and turned it into an agonizing Rasta Lock… … Stoat tried to hang on but couldn’t and had to tap out… [B]Winner:[/B] Daniel Black Francis, Still 21CW UK Champion [B][COLOR="#0000ff"]Grade: D-[/COLOR][/B] [I]Jeff Nova and Steve Smith round up the match and hype the upcoming main event.

Joss Thompson claimed the first fall after 7 minutes. He clean took out Matravers with a Clean Cutter and covered him for the first fall. He tried to quickly cover Matravers again but Matravers fought back and pushed Thompson away. Thompson was all over his English counterpart for another 10 minutes but could get another fall. It was Matravers that then leveled the scores. He managed to drop Joss to the mat long enough to climb the top rope. He then landed a flying Huracanrana that took the American clean out long enough for Matravers to cover him and score a pin fall. It was pretty tentative towards the end of the match… 29minutes clocked up and crowd were on edge. Matravers managed a burst of energy and took it to Thompson and got him floored after a devastating DDT. He climbed the rope and set up a Mile High Moonsault, it was enough and the pinfall was scored with 5 seconds on the clock. Matravers gestured to the crowd for the final 3 seconds as he won the match! [B]Winner:[/B] Adam Matravers, will meet Jonathan Faust for the 21CW World Title at the next PPV. [B][COLOR="#0000ff"]Grade: C-[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR="Blue"]OVERALL RATING: D+[/COLOR][/B] [/CENTER] [B]OOC:[/B] I’m not displaeased with this result. Its another step in the right direction and maybe an indication of how the next PPV will pan out. Morgan winning the invitational title wasn’t really planned as I wanted Larry Wood to win it but he had creative control that I didn’t check for! The main event had awesome chemisty and its going to make for a good fued!

Dragon and Matravers didn’t combine well and Dragon was kinda out of place in a main event match-up… The midcard didn’t help towards the grades either leading to a weak overall grade…

I got fired from 21CW on Thursday Week 2, March 2008 becuase I failed an owner Goal, dropping from Cult to Regional. I'm currently skipping through to 2009, If I can't get a job with a promotion by then I'm gna edit in my own promotion with a backstory to co-incide with it.

I've given up on the idea of running them myself for now while I figure out how to play the game properly first. They must be one of the hardest promotions in the game for a first go. Hope you come back strong again in future, Richy.

Not once did I reach an Overall Grade worthy of matching the level needed to remain steady at Cult... A very tought task indeed... turns out the night before I lost my job that Adam Matravers was quitting 21CW too :( probably my biggest show stopper!
