mjdgoldeneye Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I decided to set up a Cult sized promotion in the US called UCW. I am eventually going to see what I can do with it myself, but just out of boredom, I set up the company, gave it 3 titles (Main, Midcard, and "High Flying" ones), 3 workers (the owner/Franchise Player, Mark Wellz, a lower, but still awesome, Jack Lightning, and a midcard level guy named Gene Wilder - obviously no relation), a PPV deal and a weekly medium sized show. I don't remember ALL of the product details, but I know Daredevil is the Key Feature, Cult and Modern are on Heavy, and Traditional, Hardcore, and Lucha Libre are on Medium. (Intensity is 85%, Danger is 80%, Women are Integrated - albeit not being used - T&A is low, and the Face/Heel divide is medium). The company started with only these things. It had $5 million, prestige a decent bit below TCW, and was ranked as the 4th promotion in the world behind the 2 big American companies and the 2 big Japanese companies. With this I let is run for a year... At the end, the company now has A* prestige, is Global, is #2 behind SWF, has a massive roster, a weekly TV show, and - ready - guess who is champ... Guess who is the UCW World champ... Holder of one of the most prestigious titles in all of this modified CVerse? THE CANNONBALL KID! He went from a barely known Mexican worker to top of the world in a year... Jack Lightning and Mark Wellz are still in the Main Event, while Gene hopped over to SWF. Other Notable Roster Members: Alex Braun Brett Biggz (Main Event!) Ricky Dale Johnson Frankie Perez (Main Event!) Puerto Rican Power Jay Chord I just felt like sharing this insanity... P.S. THE CANNONBALL KID! BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD! HE WON! HE WON!
Derek B Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Zoinks!! Not sure if I'm outdoing you, but I'm 10 months into my USPW game and my best match is a 1 vs 1 match between James Justice and Peter Valentine (B+)... so is my second mbest match.... (B) I just don't know what I'm doing wrong, but USPW is STILL growing even as I write this and James Justice is still champ.
mjdgoldeneye Posted December 20, 2008 Author Posted December 20, 2008 Isn't USPW basically "Guys 6'5"+ and guys 40 years old+ get in free" land, though? I bet you can get Gargantuan into the Main Event in a month... UCW was a talent based and action-packed company... Imagine if AJ Styles was magically switched with the guy who played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite. That = Cannonball Kid as UCW World Champ.
Bigpapa42 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 UCW was a talent based and action-packed company... Imagine if AJ Styles was magically switched with the guy who played Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite. That = Cannonball Kid as UCW World Champ. Cannonball Kid is not terrible. He's usable right off the start. He's not going to be a top worker in a major promotion, but he'd decent. Whether its TCW, SWF, or even with SOTBPW, he's a usable guy. Its a bit odd that he was chosen as champion over more deserving workers, but the game does that sometimes. I've seen TCW book Wolf Hawkins lose the belt to Charlie Thatcher pretty early into the game. Now if the game had chosen Dusty Bin to be the champ....
FINisher Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Talk about "more deserving workers" not given the World championship. In my Cornellverse '97 game: BHOTWG: Sessue Kawate (That white haired snowman with a drug habit) as World Champion when other Main eventers are Elemental, Kudo, Okazaki, Arakida, Optimus and Toshusai. Kawate really stunk up the place with his lackluster matches: The card before the main event rated constantly from B to A, but his matches ranged from C- to B-. BHOTWG soon dropped to Cult size and haven't come back since. GCG: Saionji Omura (that 50 year old Psychopath) the GCG World Heavyweight champion when other Main eventers are Sanda, Yoshizawa, Roberts and Maeda. The same thing happened here, the champion wrestled the worst matches in the card.
pepper2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 The Last 4 USPW World champions of USPW after Bruce the Giant's 6 month reign, lost due to severe injury(12 months spine). T-Rex Dec. 2009-July 2009 Kurt Laramee July 2009-July 2009 (transitional champion) Peter Valentine July 2009-March 2010 Big Smack Scott March 2010-current (April 2010 so far) Guess they dont want to grow to much. SWF after Jack Bruce's reign: Eric Eisen Sept. 2008-June 2009 Joe Sexy June 2009-Jan. 2010 Enygma Jan 2010-current Guess they want to stay at Cult. I know popularity is rated more in both promotions, but performance is also rated.
Astil Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 I had a year of WTF in my supersim I'm doing w/ Tommy's 1991 mod. Year: 1994 WTF: ECCW is a Global company, with the champion ... Rey Mystereo Jr.
Vladamire Dracos Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 Well, the ECCW thing at least makes sense (despite the name, ECCW isn't all hardcore wrestling). Once in the MNS data, CarnEvil (DOA's current tag team champions) who typically lose the titles at the first show, didn't. Three years later they were still DOA tag team champions over teams like the MSMG and the Dudley Boys, and had performed over 36 successful defenses of the titles despite being completely wrong styles of wrestler for the promotion.
