Sudo_Nym Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Speculating... The only Giant in the database besides Bruce is Marat Khoklov, except that he's a pretty good brawler, and you said this guy needs development. If we go down to Super Heavyweights, it would seem T-Rex is the only one who's likely to have enough popularity to main event. So is that it? Are we getting T-Rex in the main event scene?

It also said he was young enough to improve. T-Rex is probably past that point.. Y'know, I actually signed a very young and pretty talented hoss of my own to develop recently - Beast Bantom. Is that the giant mentioned, by any chance? If not, you might wanna give him a look - he's not great, but he's good for a guy his size. C- level at brawling, A level at menace, and at just 21 years of age, there's plenty of room for improvement. Year or so in development, he could be a great prospect, if only for the sake of having a talented young monster heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, check out Khoklov's stats some time. Especially his third row. Then compare it to, say, Tommy Cornell, Sam Keith, Troy Tornado, Wolf Hawkins, Johnny Bloodstone, etc., etc. If it is Khoklov, then he's definitely in need of dev.

Martyn Haddon is someone I've used in European games often enough to... well, often enough to remember offhand that his name is Martyn Haddon. I do have a soft spot for him, but he's not the one. Gargantuan? Primus Allen? We can only hope Gargantuan is in dev for a laugh/curiosity about whether, by the time I get bored and release him back into free agent territory, he'll be worth a smaller company using him as a monster. He's not the guy. Primus Allen is one of those 'diary regulars' who doesn't have any story-related selling point to make me sign them. As yet, he's also not with the SWF but appears to be having fun in NYCW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Allen is an Entertainer anyway, I believe. I can't see him thriving in TCW when he tanked in MAW for me, and has been pretty redundant for Tigerkinney in FCW. Phantom, do you have Brandon Smith on your roster? I know he's not your giant, but I'm wondering if he was someone you'd looked at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I've a real fondness for the guy for the same reason as Bantom (he was an absolute stalwart of my 07 Ring of Fire game, racking up something like eight tag title reigns alongside Black Eagle over the course of about six years).

Phantom Stranger Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/totalwrestlingbanner.jpg We've got some major first-time match ups on the show tonight, and to go with them, plenty of other excellent contests. Take a look at the first match scheduled for the night; reigning World Heavyweight Champion Troy Tornado has accepted Mr Cornell's challenge and will be taking on the Syndicate's biggest man, Tyson Baine, in what may be an unwise decision given his already-announced gruelling three-way-dance for the title at Destructive Energy. Hell Monkey, Brooklyn sensation, will also see action against the Canadian sensation Johnny Bloodstone. Rocky Golden, who's come under heavy fire from a number of quarters recently, faces off with Sammy Bach to follow, begging the question 'what of Teddy Powell?' The New Wave have been ordered by Mr Cornell to face off with the Keith Brothers in what looks like more trial-by-fire for the young twins. Guide has let us know that this match will be the first of two title matches, as they consider the Keiths to be worthy contenders for their titles. And immediately following that, Greg and Matthew's father Sam puts his own title on the line against the always-dangerous Chris Rockwell. We're told that he informed Midden that this was 'to guarantee PPV matches' when he demanded the contest. Midden's response? 'Glad you've got your head out your ass, Chris. Sounds like a good match.' And in the main event, for the first time ever, the Machines will take on Tommy Cornell and Wolf Hawkins. We're told that Mayhem Midden has waived the TV time limit on this one.

Bigpapa42 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 It also said he was young enough to improve. T-Rex is probably past that point.. Kholov is 32 years old, same as T-Rex. I've hired Rex and sent him to development in more than one game, and he developed to some degree in each of them. He developed a great deal in a couple of them. On to the picks...

Beeker Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Prediction Key: Troy Tornado vs. Tyson Baine (non-title) - Non-title shenanigans assisted win for the Head of Corporate Sales. "YOU WILL BUY THIS MANY PENCILS FROM US! WON'T YOU!" It also sets up a PPV Main Event later on for these two. Hell Monkey vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell -Is this match in Brooklyn? I dunno. I don't care. I'm not a fan of the Monkey, never have been and Bloodstone's scar looks badass. Rocky Golden vs. Sammy Bach - "Oh, hey Teddy what are you doing at ringside with that chair? Oh, you want to wrap it around Bach's skull? Sure, go ahead, I need to talk to the ref as it is." TCW Tag Team Championships The New Wave © vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell - The Keiths come close, close enough so that Guide appears to have been reading ahead in the dynasty but they still come up short. TCW Hard-Hitting Championship (No Holds Barred) Sam Keith © w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Chris Rockwell - I suspect Keith holds onto the title as Rockwell continues to pay his dues as hubris (and Midden) come back to teach him some respect. The Machines vs. Tommy Cornell & Wolf Hawkins - Those shenanigans from earlier were likely in the form of Cornell and Hawkins, so when Baine shambles out to make a difference, Tornado or Keith neutralize him and that allows the Machines (one of whom holds a single's belt) manages to topple the Syndicate Training Buddies. *** When does Bear Bekowski debut? Hmmm I'm thinking someone the size of Land Mass with a slightly better upside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregano Jensen Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Hell's Bouncer is 21... he doesn't have much going for him but size, menace and decent name recognition, and he's not exactly Syndicate material. (The Syndicate are evil businessmen, not evil hell men!) A team with Hell Monkey seems natural on the "these guys have similar names" level, but less natural on the "one of these guys is Hell Monkey, and the other one was a bodyguard in DAVE" level. Or maybe it's someone else. Who knows? Troy Tornado vs. Tyson Baine (non-title) No-contest? Hell Monkey vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell This may change someday, but I suspect that at this point, Hell Monkey is mostly there to lose to stars and make them look good. Not that Johnny Bloodstone needs much help to look good. Rocky Golden vs. Sammy Bach Golden just won a fight. He doesn't need to win two in a row. Be careful... too many wins, and this could start to look like a push, and a push is the last thing Rocky needs. TCW Tag Team Championships The New Wave © vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell As they say, the Keiths aren't quite ready. We all know it's coming, but probably on a PPV... and maybe not against the New Wave, who seem like basically decent guys? TCW Hard-Hitting Championship (No Holds Barred) Sam Keith © w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Chris Rockwell There's no reason to believe this is a title change. The Machines vs. Tommy Cornell & Wolf Hawkins Sowing the seeds for a Machines break-up, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudo_Nym Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Troy Tornado vs. Tyson Baine (non-title) Tyson's been on a roll lately, and a non-title match means that roll continues Hell Monkey vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell Hell Monkey should be getting his time in the sun, too, eventually. Rocky Golden vs. Sammy Bach Bach has the better upside, and has actually been doing stuff. I foresee a dq win with Powell's interference. TCW Tag Team Championships The New Wave © vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell Not quite, but they're getting there. TCW Hard-Hitting Championship (No Holds Barred) Sam Keith © w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Chris Rockwell Rockwell losing seems to be turning into a storyline of its own. The Machines vs. Tommy Cornell & Wolf Hawkins The boss wins here, probably by cheating. Edge The Machines into giving up the independent thing and team up with Troy and Sam.

Remianen Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 3. Would you be interested in seeing TCW create and introduce a women's division? Absolutely not. I'd suggest actually looking at "the new world" before even considering this. Besides, TCW (in your hands) has enough talent now that isn't being showcased or used regularly. Do you really see yourself developing women to the talent level required to justify on-air time over the folks you already have? Besides, the "big names" are all in the retirement age bracket with only a few exceptions (at least one of which isn't available to you). So you'd have to build the division off the third tier of workers and that's not something you do at Global, in my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regis Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Prediction Key: Troy Tornado vs. Tyson Baine (non-title) A draw, to keep Baine strong while protecting Tornado.

TCW Tag Team Championships The New Wave © vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell No, seriously.

Tigerkinney Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Troy Tornado vs. Tyson Baine (non-title) I agree with Regis on this one, a no contest draw to keep both of them looking strong and to possibly set up a title match between these two sometime down the line. Hell Monkey vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell Bloodstone is getting a considerably bigger push right now, Rocky Golden vs. Sammy Bach A loss for Bach, possibly caused by a Powell distraction (I think distraction, rather than actual interference) would make sense here, whilst Golden begins to get some traction going with a mini winning streak TCW Tag Team Championships The New Wave © vs. The Keith Brothers w/ Blonde Bombshell Perhaps a little early for Keith's to get a shot at the belts, but this should be a good match, so not too many complaints. I'd be shocked to see them win the belts though. TCW Hard-Hitting Championship (No Holds Barred) Sam Keith © w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. Chris Rockwell I see you keeping this belt on Keith until he starts bringing up the R word. The Machines vs. Tommy Cornell & Wolf Hawkins Syndicate > ex Syndicate...for sure The Machines having the greater experience tagging together but I just think The Syndicate leader and his butt-kissing protege should stay strong here.

Tornado plays mouse to Baine's giant cat, but this is a mouse who can fight back – he gets clobbered a few times, once hit so hard he flies out of the ring – but he manages to score a few fast moves, and builds, and builds... It takes three consecutive Star Makers to get Baine off his feet, and Tornado rolls out of the ring moments after making the three-count.

Baine hurts... and I know you want your title match to get a little easier. “But...” A pause, as he recovers his breath. “If you aren't careful, all that will happen is Johnny walks away with it – because I saw you last week. I know you're still hurting from Hotter Than Hell. “So let's just try playing nice, Tommy. Because believe me, I'll hit back – and if we both just give it away, that's not going to be a satisfying story for Johnny Bloodstone to tell his grandkids, is it?” http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/totalbanner.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/HellMonkey.jpg vs. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/JohnnyBloodstone_alt2.jpg w/ http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/BlondeBombshell.jpg Hell Monkey vs. Johnny Bloodstone w/ Blonde Bombshell A very nice, solid back-and-forth; not as good as Bloodstone is capable of bringing out, but Hell Monkey looks as good as he has in quite some time.

Sammy Bach leans against the turnbuckles, bathed in monochrome, and watches the camera swing down to his angle. “Nice thinking, Rocky,” he smiles. “And hi there, Teddy. “I'm sure I'll see you during the match. You and your buddy have your issues. And Rocky... well, maybe I'm giving you too much credit. Maybe you didn't think of it. “You could be as dumb as you look, right?” He smirks. “So here's the thing – Teddy, come on down.

Golden swings a punch; nothing. Infuriated, he unleashes a second; Bach falls back a step, but doesn't otherwise move. Golden hits the ropes and comes back hard. Bach tumbles, and when he sits up, he's bleeding. He touches his forehead, sees the blood and – as Rocky yanks him back up to his feet – smiles. And explodes into a dropsault. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/TeddyPowell.jpg Golden is suddenly on the ropes when Teddy Powell arrives, delivering the Motion Censor to the back of Bach's head. Sam Sparrow dithers, but accedes to Bach's earlier request. Sammy promptly ignores Rocky and brawls with Powell, but – after a few moments of watching – Golden shakes his head and yanks Bach up into the Rack. Powell promptly collects a chair from ringside, springboarding from the top rope to deliver a chairshot to Sammy as he's held there – and then another, and another...

You remember exactly how I reacted. Everyone does. Everywhere I go people talk to me, but this last month they've been talking to me as much as a father as a wrestler. “Some things... Some things they expect us to just take, Tommy. Injuries. Beatdowns. Match after match. Punishment matches. Handicap bouts. “Chairs to the head. All the stuff you brought me in to arrange for your rivals. “And, you know... it's been this past month, hearing people talk to me as a father... I've realised why I was OK doing that. “Because they're not the only ones who expect us to take it. Hell, at Hotter Than Hell I know damn well I dislocated your shoulder. Two days later you and me were in the ring again. “We're wrestlers. They teach you to take pain before they teach you to give it. We go through things... All my career, I've had people come to me and say 'How did you get back into the ring after that?' “It's not just them who expect us to be able to take it, Tommy. To my eyes, when I was working for you, I was still playing by the rules. “My boys' career is well outside those rules, Tommy – it took people talking to me to really help me realise that, to help me express it. “And now, tonight, they go for their fourth match in four shows. You're putting them through this to get at me – and the thing is, Tommy, Matt and Greg are my boys. They can take it. “Hell, tonight you might've just made them tag champions.” A grin. “And wouldn't that be something, Tommy?

It seems, a little, like Greg and Guide were both dogging it – but the two teams still have the kind of instinctive understanding of their partners that keeps things fascinating. At one point, Guide launches himself for Greg in the Guided Missile. Out of nowhere, Matthew Keith swings in, catching Guide around the waist and hurling him backward in an abrupt German suplex. At the same time, the ultimate result gets locked down when Scout counters for his own team dropping an elbow on Matt before DDTing Greg.

Rockwell seems to get into this game of one-upsmanship early on, and arguably, it takes his eye off the prize – but the end result is that, twenty minutes in, both men are still active – and the bell rings for the TV time limit Sam Keith drew with Chris Rockwell Rating: A http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/totalbanner.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/BrentHill.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/HumanArsenal.jpg vs. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/TommyCornell_alt5.jpghttp://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/WolfHawkins_alt3.jpg The Machines vs. Tommy Cornell & Wolf Hawkins The contest goes twenty-eight minutes, thanks to Midden's waived time limit. Azaria is, once again, unable to keep up with the pace that these four men maintain. That said, they work through it and rise above, pulling their way to a great match regardless. Hill and Cornell, head to head, is a hell of a thing – but it's never there for long; frequent tags make sure of that, especially as Cornell is still nursing his shoulder slightly. It's fast, it flies, it shifts to a brawl, it goes to the mat – toward the close, Anderson finds himself in there with Tommy Cornell, and Eugene Williams' attention is drawn by a new arrival. http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/TysonBaine_nachtfalter16.jpg Tyson Baine arrives at ringside, and while Williams looks at him, Cornell boots Anderson in the nuts, taking him to the mat with the Guilt Trip locked in. Williams turns back to call the submission, and Baine yanks Hill off the apron, into his arms, and down to the floor with a Hades Bomb. Without rescue, Anderson taps out.

Eddie Peak blindsides Baine from behind, coming through the crowd to do it. As he does so, Tornado and Bloodstone sprint down to the ring from the entrance ramp. There's a hell of a brawl. Peak clotheslines Baine out of the ring, grabs Hawkins, and scores with a Peak of Perfection, and the tide turns – Cornell bolts as the announce team wrap up the program.

This diary is amazing and I love what you have done with TCW. Thank you kindly, sir - although we're not finished yet; for one thing, I just signed the final member of the revamped Syndicate. ... As a side note, for all those who steer clear of main event tags due to rating issues - the Machines/Cornell & Hawkins match was the best single match booked in this save.

Bigpapa42 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Looking forward to who's joining the Syndicate. Good show. As always. Keep up the good work. Regarding tags, it was possible in 2008. Just tough. The one A* tag match I had in my SWF game - McFly and Tornado (good chemistry together but low experience) over DuBois and Parker (exact same) - took four very talented workers and two sets of good chemistry. I'm very happy that tag matches get penalized less on 2010, because I always hesitated with those main event tag matches. No more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Allen is an Entertainer anyway, I believe. I can't see him thriving in TCW when he tanked in MAW for me, and has been pretty redundant for Tigerkinney in FCW. On the other hand, in my 2-year TCW game, he's my third biggest heel after Tommy and Rocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Stranger Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/bookbanner.jpg http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/book_open-2.jpg Wednesday 10th September 2008 Go on to the internet, as I've done periodically since Adrian showed me some websites not filled with 100% bile, and you see that the usual assumption is that the SWF is the 'entertainment' show, TCW is the 'wrestling' show. Which... is the illusion Tommy and Joel, and these days Tommy and I, spend a lot of our time fostering. Does that mean I don't think there's a difference between the two shows? No – but at the core, the reason Richard Eisen's programs aren't doing as well as they were is because the best talents he has aren't being showcased to their fullest. (I just know that people are going to read this and assume I'm talking about my sons, who I think are actually doing well. Sure, they're losing a lot – but in mid-range title matches on big shows, with decent build. The stuff they're doing with the Bumfholes is very good. (No, I'm talking about guys like Tom Gilmore, who would take virtually nothing to raise to a headliner; Vengeance, who has thus far assaulted the champion on every PPV through 2008 – and I predict will do so tomorrow at Under Control – but who has not received a title shot or had any other program with either Jack Bruce or Steve Frehley, Remo and a few others.) At the same time, we also don't rely entirely on wrestling. Sam Keith has been blowing me personally away with his microphone work recently. I don't tell any of my boys more than the basic points I want them to get across, and Sam seems... just rejuvenated on the microphone. My theory is that it's one or both of two things; first, Sam doesn't spend the majority of his creative ability here on angles for everyone, and second, Sam is, for the first time, talking about his family, talking about the entirety of his history in the business, just filtered through the prism of his feud. Either way, I'm very happy about it; I'm all too aware that he's near retirement, and we've got a long contract – and he is, too, Sam Keith. I want to be able to use him once he leaves the ring – and it's because we are not just wrestling that I can. Thursday, 11th September 2008 So, at Under Control, Vengeance assaulted Steve Frehley. Instead of following up on that, he actually wrestled Chris Caulfield – and lost. Frehley is busy with Runaway Train. What are they up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Stranger Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm75/trenchcoatbrigand/TCW/badgebanner.jpg An unusual singles outing for two tag specialists will open the show tonight, as Harry Allen goes one on one with Joel Bryant. We're also promised a tag championship match, and the New Wave, reigning champions and still regularly called the BEST TAG TEAM IN THE WORLD TODAY by many, will be defending against the Enforcers - the name apparently given by Mr Cornell to the Syndicate's new tag team, Jack Marlowe and Julian Watson. The Easy Riders have requested a more brutal kind of a match; Mayhem Midden, accordingly, matched them up against the Disrespected, whose vicious streak is becoming more and more pronounced. Frankie Perez will also be in action this week, taking on Clark Alexander. What role, if any, will Alexander's new manager play? And will Perez' recent streak of dirty tactics rear its head? More of the war between Rick Law and the School of Tradition follows, as Law tags up with Hell Monkey to oppose Eric Tyler and Acid. It's hard to say who really has the upper hand in this whole conflict, right now... But it's the Syndicate that seems set to cast a shadow over the main event. Tommy Cornell has made a match for a mystery man against Art Reed, with a submissions stipulation - and has gone on to say that this should be considered a warm-up for a Hard-Hitting Championship #1 Contender. We've seen a lot of newcomers to TCW lately - is this another of them, or has the Syndicate recruited from within TCW's ranks for this? Prediction Key: Harry Allen vs. Joel Bryant w/ Laura Huggins TCW Tag Team Championships The New Wave © vs. The Enforcers The Disrespected vs. Easy Riders w/ Karen Killer Clark Alexander w/ Alanis Springsteen vs. Frankie Perez Eric Tyler & Acid w/ Laura Huggins vs. Rick Law & Hell Monkey SUBMISSION MATCH Art Reed w/ Blonde Bombshell vs. ????
