Booking CZCW

[TEWFan]

Man, I am having a blast booking CZCW, especially after all the freaking curve balls it keeps throwing at me. Let's just say that the great majority of the "chore" of the promotion is gone and I always end up scrambling to find replacements.

 

James Prudence was the first to go, but it was expected. I was not really pushing him at the time. I put the belt on Remmy Skye because I was about to negotiate an extension with Fox Mask and I did not know if he was going or not. Fox Mask stays, but I lost Remmy to RIPW on a dev. deal. I put the belt on KID TOMA after he was let go from the SWF since I needed more main event talents. That same day Mikey James gets signed by the SWF to a dev. deal too.

 

I bring in Fuhimiro Ohta and Teddy Powell, who wins my secondary belt. Then BAM! TCW takes Fox Mask and Kid Toma too, forcing me to put the belt on Donnie J. Al Coleman proceeds to walk out after I refused to give him a Main Event title run (during negotiations). Then Frankie Perez (who was set to be my next champ) gets signed by the SWF to a dev. deal.

 

Now I have brought in a ton of new talent to try and work them into the big spots: Akima Brave, Bart Biggz, Mainstream Hernandez, Kirk Jameson, Jacob Jett, Matt Hocking and Hugh De Aske are getting over. The Amazing Firefly, Dragon del Arco Iris Jr, Tigre Salvaje Jr and a couple of prospects that where let go from their promotions are the rest of the undercard with the CZCW regulars.

 

I have a couple of questions: When can I start running more than one show a month? Progress has been slooooooow in spite of C- shows all the time. What type of matches work better on this promotion? I have noticed that standard bouts get (-) because of lack of risk. But most of the roster is not suited to the hardcore bouts.

Your going to have to make a few matches the only matches that are "regular" and have a decent risk factor are Table, Last Man Standing and Cage matches. You can use Ladder Matches as most of your talent is fliers and that is flying based.

 

Usually when you get up to D= or C- overness in your region you can move on to weekly shows and not eat too much on expenses.

Ladders matches aren't flying based. Never have been. CZCW starts with 100,000 and they have 1,000 - 2,000 fans for each show (Medium sized) so there's no need to watch finances closely. Just keep putting on great promos from your entertaining workers and good matches from the good wrestlers, easy.

With RIPW I think I was only at E+ popularity but because I was raking in like $20k from sponsorships I started 2 shows a month, an 'A' show that was 2 hours and a 'B' show only an hour long.

 

You can expand when you feel you've got the cash for it. Just be prepared for the "regional -> cult" jump if you start growing fast.
