I just finished simming 2011 to 2012.

 

Surprisingly few promotion deaths with only EX2010 and MoSC keeling over.

 

USPW, WLW and CGC staying a cult despite being close to national the year before.

 

A 5SSW that doesnt even try to reach cult puts on a B+ rated match between Karube and Higa.

 

Canadian Womens Wrestling Federation owned by Mammoth of all people in the world.

 

Zimmy Bumfhole pissing off too many people at SWF and leaves for PSW who went through three bookers in 2011 despite pulling out C- minus shows. Robbie Retro also had a brief spell in PSW but reconciled and now hang out in RIPW.

 

NOTBPW reaching international, on the way to hit global so they can join TCW and SWF who fight at the top. Runaway Train and Koshiro Ino their respective world champions.

 

GCG, BHOTWG and PGHW all stable and national.

 

Everything very boring actually.

I posted this yesterday in the what's going on in your game thread:

 

I simmed through 5 years in one save and off the top of my head...

 

Fumihiro Ota owns NYCW (with Eric Tyler as his head booker) & Belle Bryden now owns USPW.

 

TCW has been #1 for the last two years and the Tommy Cornell/Joel Bryant creative team has risen to legendary status.

 

SWF fell to cult status and #2 overall (and down to #11 in influence), Eisen fired Peter Michaels in September 2014 and replaced him with Marv Earnest.

 

NOTBPW is #3 and USPW is #4.

 

 

Also started a second watcher sim to compare results, by the end of the second year SWF has already dropped to cult. Tonight I'll be able to catch this one up to the first.

In my game Belle Bryden took over USPW and Dan Stone Jr took over NOTBPW. EX2010, MOSC and 21CW all went bankrupt....which is surprising! I mean, ROF is now #1 in the UK! SOTBPW went up to National and raped my (CZCW) roster of my most talented luchadores. Of course, they where boosted by the likes of Soul Taker and Mayan Idol walking out of their respective promotions because they where too small. In essence SOTBPW became the most talented promotion in Mexico.

 

In Australia ZEN is still last after 3 years, with RAW at #1, APW at #2 and DIW at #3. None of them are higher than regional yet.

I've got the second sim through five years. Much more active world than the first five-year sim. Current game date is Week 1, January 2015.

 

News & Notes

October 2011 Eisaku Kunomasu was killed after falling into the shark tank of the local aquarium. He was 40.

December 2011 Kalu Owusu died after being struck by a car. He was 34.

July 2012 Britney Hollywood died after being struck by lightning. Twice. In quick succession. She was 30.

August 2013 Super Aprendiz died after falling through an open window. On the twentieth floor of a building. He was 21.

 

EXODUS2010 was founded in May 2010 and went out of business in November 2010.

 

MOSC closed in February 2011.

 

21CW gave it a good run but went of of business in April 2012.

 

SWF fell to cult size in October 2011, were back up to global by September 2012, but almost immediately fell back to cult in January 2013. They've been on a see-saw like that ever since, their last drop to cult being in August of 2014.

 

Promotion of the Year: SWF (2010), NOTBPW (2011 & 2014), TCW (2012-2013)

 

Wrestler of the Year: Steve DeColt (2010-2011), Johnny Bloodstone (2012-2013), Jeremy Stone (2014)

 

Veteran Wrestler of the Year: Jeremy Stone (2010-2013) Christian Faith (2014)

 

Young Wrestler of the Year: Wolf Hawkins (2010), Davis Wayne Newton (2011), Extraordinario Jr (2012), KC Glenn (2013), SATO (2014)

 

Female Wrestler of the Year: Fuyuko Higa (2010 & 2012-2014), Megumi Nakajima (2011)

 

Most Improved Promotion: TCW (2010), Hinote Dojo (2011), SWF (2012), HIW (2013), ACPW (2014)

 

Card of the Year: It's been a NOTBPW event every time.

 

In addition to their core stars, TCW's current roster boasts a ton of ex-SWF stars and other highly rated workers such as Antonio Maxi Marquez, Christian Faith, Eric Eisen, James Justice, James Hernandez, Marc DuBois, Officer McFly, Ricky DeColt, Owen Love, Randy Bumfhole, and Remo.

 

Johnny Bloodstone has spent the last five years in NOTBPW, leading it to the #2 promotion in the world behind TCW in terms of importance.

 

Steve Frehley left SWF in October 2011 and worked jointly for CGC and USPW until September of 2014 when he joined NOTBPW exclusively.

 

In late 2013 Guide broke up one of the most successful tag teams of all time when he left his New Wave partner Scout behind in TCW to join up with BHOTWG. Scout immediately formed a new championship winning team with Sam Keith called Full Force who are the current champs and held the titles for the entire calendar year of 2014, while Guide has been forced to split time between BHOTWG (to tour) and Hinote Dojo (for training).

 

Jack Giedroyc left SWF for BHOTWG in August 2012.

Becuase i could, another sim game. This time from 2010 to April 2013.

 

Most important thing: TCW, SWF and NOTBPW being locked in a threeway struggle for world domination that ended with SWF biting the bullet, losing the tv slot for its other A show, having Runaway Train run the SWF World Heavyweight down to B- prestige and ultimately see SWF hit cult. Maybe they will be back one day. Maybe USPW will grab their feet and drag them down.

 

BHOTWG first repelled PGHW when they national so they fell right back down, then shoved GCG out of the picture again. They now wait for either of them to come back around. Or maybe for WLW to finally reach national.

 

21CW and MoSC both dead. 21CW despite putting on great shows that in US would had made them national eventually.

 

Jeremy Stone defeated Davis Wayne Newton at Super Slam to win 2012 Match of the Year.

 

And finally, Madman Boone recovering from coma induced parasite to become SWF North American champion.

I am doing some self testing for the 1999 real world mod that was released so I have simmed a year out.

 

ECW started with 500K in the bank and cult status. They got really, really hot over a four month stretch, cranking out some amazing shows (for a Cult fed) lead by their new signee Marty Jennetty. At the end of the year they had 3,000,000 in the bank and were International. That was some amazing growth in a short time frame.

So I decided to run a 1993 watcher game while I wait for MA97. I have been doing a 99 game too but I got bored keeping up with it. I just finished year 2 in 1993.

 

So far going into 1995 every major promotion is a Cult promotion. Those include WWF, WCW, NJPW, AJPW, AAA, UWA and EMLL.

 

SMW, UWF, ECW, GWF and USWA are all Regional.

 

Eddie Gilbert and Dynamite Kid both have died because of drugs.

 

Bret Hart was back to back Wrestler of the Year.

 

Hulk Hogan retired.

 

Iron Shiek opened a Dojo.

 

There has yet to be one A* match anywhere in the world.

 

Meanwhile looking at champions:

 

WWF World Champion: Ric Flair. He ended Bret Hart's 13 month reign in an A match at WM X.

 

WCW World Champion: Road Warrior Hawk. He ended Cactus Jack's 6 month reign in a B- match at Fall brawl.

purple cowboy very cool. can you look up how some of my favorite people have done? dusty bin, angry gilmore, & champagne lover?

 

Sure:

 

Dusty Bin (unemployed) - Big Dust is now 35, and has never been hired. He has become a bit infamous on the Canadian Independent scene for his tag team with Biff the Bruiser called Biff and Bin. His highest rated tag match was "E" and it came in 2015 when Biff and Bin lost to K-Squared and Canadian Crusher. His best singles match was way back in 2013 when he lost to Cal Sanders in an epic E+ thriller.

 

Overall in his match history he's 19 wins, 3 draws, 23 losses

E- Average Rating

E+ Highest Rating

 

 

Angry Gilmore (NOTBPW) - I actually messed up Gilmore above, he's most recently been in NOTBPW. He was in BHOTWG earlier in the decade and I mistyped.

 

After spending most of 2010-2012 putting over the likes of Gregory Black, Jack Giedroyc, Captain Atomic, Marat Khoklov, Jack Griffith, Rich Money, Big Smack Scott, the Pain Alliance, Eric Eisen, and whoever else Peter Michaels felt appropriate, Gilmore had enough and signed a non-exclusive pact with SWF in March 2013 which opened up his options. Shortly thereafter in the early summer Gilmore inked deals with CGC and USPW and left SWF altogether when his deal expired in July.

 

But in October 2013, Gilmore shocked everyone by signing an exclusive development contract with Hinote Dojo. In April 2014 he was called up to the main BHOTWG roster and remained there until his contract expired in March 2016.

 

In March 2016 Gilmore rejoined CGC as The Billion Dollar Man on a PPA deal, but he would end up screwing them again as just a month later he took an exclusive deal to wrestle in NOTBPW under his real name Tom Gilmore.

 

Not a lot of titles... USPW National Champion from September to October 2013 when he ditched them; King of Fighters Champion in BHOTWG from June 2015-March 2016 making 10 defenses; in NOTBPW Gilmore was in a fairly successful tag team with Steve Frehley before moving on to a championship pairing with Jack DeColt. Gilmore & DeColt held the NOTBPW Tag Team belts from February 2017 until May 2018, making 15 defenses.

 

He won Wrestler of the Year in 2018, and was #2 in 2019. By comparison, when he left SWF in 2013 after jobbing so much he was #86 in the world, after dropping off the top 100 altogether in 2011 and 2012.

 

Overall in his match history he's 154 wins, 10 draws, 123 losses. He's 41 years old now so he may have have peaked during his outstanding last two years.

B+ Average Rating

A* Highest Rating

 

 

Champagne Lover: (SOTBPW) - Champagne Lover has spent the majority of the last decade wrestling in TCW as Antonio Maxi Marquez.

 

Champagne Lover signed deals with USPW and CGC in 2011 while still wrestling for SOTBPW. But in December 2011 he turned his back on them all to sign an exclusive deal with TCW.

 

Lover's debut in TCW was memorable as he took the TCW All Action title from Acid at TCW Saturday Night Showcase. Experts were predicting big things for Marquez on the basis of such a win, and Lover did become a core member of the upper midcard in a decade that saw TCW become the top promotion in the world.

 

But the famed Cornell/Bryant creative team didn't really seem to know what to do with him after he dropped the All Action title to Harry Allen in June 2012. Marquez would get long win streaks against top opponents and then seem to fizzle out and be kept off camera for a few weeks, unable to capitalize on or sustain his momentum for very long.

 

As his contract with TCW was coming near an end, the management threw him a bone by pairing him up with Joshua Taylor as "The Posse" who ended the Freedom Fighters (Joey Minnesota & Ricky Dale Johnson) record 26-month reign as TCW World Tag Team Champions in September 2018. TCW also brought in Greg Black and reformed High Concept to give The Posse a high profile feud, and despite successfully defending the belts for the entire year in 2019 Marquez decided to leave TCW at the end of his contract in December and rejoin SOTBPW.

 

Overall in his match history he's 245 wins, 10 draws, 86 losses. He's 38 years old. His highest Top 100 ranking for the 2010-2019 decade was #28 in 2018.

wow thanks for all the info. seems pretty disappointing overall, even with gilmore getting #1 he's still never been a world champion and now he's in his 40s. interesting that they both seemed to use CGC & USPW as quick fallback stops before moving on to bigger and better.

how do you do a watcher game? do you just skip all the days, let your pc load and come back? or is there a way to skip to a certain date?

 

Start up a game and set it up so you don't control a promotion. Then go to your options and set multi advance on full. Hit advance next day and it'll ask how far to go. You can go up to one year at a time.

Here's Wolf:

 

Wolf Hawkins (TCW) – Wolf, now 33, has been one of the best wrestlers of the decade and has been unwavering in his loyalty to TCW despite his lack of championship gold. Given the bad injury he suffered in 2008, it might be surprising to know that he’s been an extremely reliable workhorse for the fed and appeared in no less than 534 matches over the last 10 years.

 

Wolf’s fans have been extremely frustrated for a long, long time. Perhaps as punishment for his injury ruining the Syndicate storyline, Wolf has gone 0-16 in TCW World Heavyweight title matches, and 0-2 in TCW World Tag Team title shots. To make matters worse, all of his world title opportunities came in the early part of the decade when he was involved in a number of high-profile feuds against the reigning champ at the time – Rocky Golden (2010), Officer McFly (2011), Troy Tornado (2012), Bryan Vessey (2013), John Anderson (2014) – and he’s had little else to do since.

 

Wolf did win the TCW International belt for the second time in his career in July 2017 when he beat Ricky Dale Johnson for the strap. But it was hardly enough for his supporters as he ended up dropping the belt less then six months later in January 2018 to Remo.

 

In terms of Wrestler of the Year he was in the Top 10 five times, and in the Top 20 nine times, falling to a career low of #29 last year in 2019. He hadn’t done anything of note in 2019 until the latter part of the year when his tag team with enemy-turned-friend Remo lost to Aaron Andrews & Ricky Dale Johnson in December in the finals of the tournament to crown new TCW World Tag Team champions after Antonio Maxi Marquez left the organization to go back to SOTBPW.

 

Overall match history: 295 wins, 15 draws, 224 losses

Can I get an updat e on Mainstream Hernandez, Cowboy?

 

No problem I'll check him out after I finish up Jacob Jett for Pete.

 

Here's Gargantuan:

 

Gargantuan (CGC & PSW) – The 34-year old Canadian giant has bounced around quite a bit in the last decade. His most successful stint was the four years he spent being exclusive to CGC between 2010-2013. Gargantuan twice won the CGC World Tag Team titles, once with Shooter Sean Deeley (as The Creatures from March 2010-July 2011), and then an epic reign with Bobby Thomas (as Team Awesome from October 2011-November 2013).

 

2012 was an especially good year, as he defeated Shane Nelson for the CGC Canadian title in March and held it all the way until the end of the year when he lost to Joey Poison.

 

Gargantuan left CGC in January 2014 for a shot at a developmental deal with RIPW. He made it to SWF in August 2014 and had a debut win at Welcome to the Jungle against Joss Thompson, but that would be his only match for SWF at the time, leaving them for (drumroll please) CGC and USPW! Nothing of note in USPW but this time around he was getting CGC World title shots and did the best he could in multiple losing efforts against Alex DeColt.

 

In April 2018 he let his USPW contract expire and immediately signed a PPA deal with SWF (in addition to his CGC duties). In June of 2018 he signed on with another company, this time PSW. In July 2019, after primarily being used by SWF as the personal jobber for Flying Jimmy Foxx & Nelson Callum, Gargantuan left SWF with a career record there of 7 wins, 0 draws, 22 losses.

 

In 2019 he continued to be a contender in the CGC Canadian title scene, and has a new tag team in PSW with Citizen X which is currently pushing hard for the belts.

 

Despite his early success with CGC, he's never been included in The Power 100.

 

Overall match history: 159 wins, 2 draws, 174 losses
