Jacob Jett

 

Jacob Jett (CGC & ACPW) – Jett may be better known for his 8-year engagement to Katie Cameron than anything he’s accomplished in the ring. The wedding engagement, announced in November of 2011, has yet to be realized in the full bonds of matrimony.

 

Jett has split most of his in-ring career between Canada and Japan, and his absurd travel schedule is part of the reason why his engagement has dragged on into its ninth year. In 2010 Jett signed PPA deals with CGC and CZCW in addition to his 4C duties. He left CZCW in July 2011 for a PPA contract with WLW. A year later, Jett left WLW for WEEXV. He also let his CGC contract expire so he could sign with ACPW. All the while he remained under contract with 4C.

 

In May of 2013 he left 4C, WEEXV, and ACPW for an exclusive deal with GCG. When his written contact was up in February 2015, he signed a non-exclusive extension with GCG which permitted him to return to CGC, in addition to a new deal with FSW.

 

In April 2017 he left both GCG and FCW to concentrate solely on CGC. In October 2019, he agreed to return to ACPW.

 

Jett has been given a couple of pushes to be a credible transitional champion, winning the ACPW Canadian Regional title in November 2012 and his third 4C Championship in March 2013. But he lost both of those belts in his first title defense. He also held the GCG Openweight Championship for three weeks in May/June 2014. He’s never been ranked in The Power 100.

Mainstream Hernandez

 

Mainstream Hernandez (USPW) – The 33-year old Canadian lightweight has had a couple of peaks and valleys in his career, and he’s currently back on the upswing holding both the USPW National title (began October 2019) and the USPW World Tag Team title (with Freddie Datsun, began August 2018).

 

His career began very well, leaving FCW and CZCW in March 2010 when RIPW came around with an exclusive developmental contract. He performed at a high level and captured the RIPW Championship title twice between 2011-2013, with an RIPW Tag Team Championship thrown in for good measure (with Earnest Youngman, October 2011-March 2012).

 

After a couple of successful years in RIPW resulted in absolutely no interest from SWF, a confused Hernandez was able to negotiate a non-exclusive contract for himself and like many stars on the cusp of hitting it big with one of the big feds, he spent some time in CGC and USPW.

 

In the end SWF never called him up, so a slightly embittered Mainstream left for TCW in February 2013 where he debuted as James Hernandez in a memorable double count out brawl with American Buffalo. In his three years with TCW he put up a respectable record of 70 wins, 5 draws, 54 losses, but he was only ever given one title shot - a loss against Rocky Golden for the TCW International title in 2014 at Destructive Energy.

 

He mostly was used as an ally and irregular tag partner for such TCW stars as Brent Hill, Sammy Bach, and Aaron Andrews. Without any solid plan for him he ended up leaving TCW in December 2016. After a brief six month return to CGC in the first half of 2017, Hernandez signed a written deal with USPW at the end of June and has been there ever since to good results.

 

In 2019 he was #88 in The Power 100.

Purple Cowboy how's Ben Williams and Stretch The Chicken boy two of the biggest jobbers ever

 

About how you'd expect! :)

 

"Bump Machine" Ben Williams (unemployed) - Ben Williams is a 33-year old virtual unknown who is technically still "in the business" even though he's never been employed and hasn't appeared at an American Independent show since 2015.

 

He didn't fare too well in the few matches he was in, but he does have the memories of singles victories over Buzz Reid and Xavier Reckless (and a tag win with Crash Lewis over Daredevil Aero & Rex Reeves) to cherish forever.

 

Despite the poor quality of most of his matches, he did get a D- match in a loss with Jack Griffith in early 2010. After being booked spottily at independent shows from 2010-2012, he got one show per year from 2013-2015 before being ignored outright.

 

Overall match history: 3 wins, 1 draws, 13 losses

E- Average Rating

D- Highest Rating

 

Stretch the Chicken Boy (unemployed) - While also never being hired, Stretch has at least appeared a bit more regularly on the independent scene, and appeared at 5 Canadian Independent shows in 2019.

 

He doesn't really have any signature moments as most of the performances have been underwhelming, but the list of wrestlers he's beaten includes: Eric Blackley, Ricochet Ramone, Clutch McKane, Hudson Drake, Mosher, Jerry Martin, Marc Raisin, and Dusty Bin. He does boast an undefeated (through one match) tag team with partner Dusty Bin, who thrashed Alistair Shufflebottom and Topher Smith in December 2015.

 

Overall match history: 18 wins, 3 draws, 18 losses

How about someone like Robbie Retro?

 

Robbie Retro (USPW) – Robbie Retro is in the process of rebuilding his career in USPW after 8+ years spent with SWF. When he left SWF for USPW in February 2018 he would probably have been looked at as damaged goods by many in the industry. He had been there all throughout SWF’s historic fall from the #1 promotion in the world down to #3, and had stayed there for years after. On top of that, he didn’t show any marked improvement in any skill area other than raising Ariel to D- (from F+) and Puroresu to D (from F).

 

SWF only ever booked him 10-15 times per year so he was never able to build huge amounts of momentum or popularity. Retro seems to have primarily been comic relief and put over whomever was the reigning SWF North American champion during his years with the company.

 

In January 2017 he was given his only two SWF World Heavyweight title shots against Kurt Laramee (including the main event of When Hell Freezes Over) before becoming Laramee’s occasional tag team partner for the rest of that year. Still, his mini-push led nowhere except out of the company in 2018.

 

Since joining USPW Retro has been a regular weekly fixture on both Countdown and American Wrestling and in just two years is already closing in on as many wins (52) as he had in eight years with SWF (75). In his second match with the company at USPW Liberty and Justice! his brand new tag team with Mikey James called the Nightime Knights took the USPW World Tag Team titles from Freddie Datsun and Ross Henry. They would hold the belts until August when Datsun’s new team with James Hernandez defeated them for the straps. The Nightime Knights have been battling their way back to the top of the tag division since, feuding with Public Enemy (Joffy Laine & Spencer Spade) and A Pair of Aces (Chris Caulfield & Lenny Brown).

 

Overall match history: 127 wins, 4 draws, 107 losses

-Based off this one I'm interested to see how Laramee's career has turned out. I'll check him out. :)

Wow cool stuff. Nice to see him getting some success too, and he fits really well to USPW in my opinion. Thanks mate :)

No problem. Here's Laramee. Tons of stuff about him. I had to stop myself from writing more. I think tonight I'm going to try to advance another 5 years.

 

Kurt Laramee (SWF) – 43-year old Laramee has had two separate year-long reigns as SWF World Heavyweight Champion and yet has never been ranked in The Power 100.

 

When the decade began there was no indication that Laramee would grow into a future singles star. He pretty much spent all of 2010 putting over SWF World Tag Team Champions Jack Giedroyc & Valiant, with random singles victories over Knuckles and Shady K thrown in.

 

In April of 2011 on the third episode of the new SWF show Uprising, Laramee came from out of nowhere to defeat James Prudence for the SWF North American title in a bland match that suffered from absolutely no build-up. Laramee though would go on to make 21 defenses of the title until dropping the belt to Zimmy Bumfhole on an episode of Supreme TV in late November. Laramee’s reign happened at the exact same time that SWF fell from the #1 promotion in the world.

 

Maybe in response to that he wasn’t booked much in 2012 and it led to some problems between the wrestler and SWF that would see Laramee out of the company to USPW by December. When he was booked for SWF his Pain Alliance tag team was feuding with Decimation (Fox Mask & Roger Cage). He also got some big-time singles wins over opponents like Eric Eisen, Runaway Train, and Remo, but failed in his three SWF World Heavyweight title shots against Marat Khoklov.

 

His time in USPW was okay in terms of getting over but he lost more than he won, especially to Enygma (0-12 against Enygma). He would only end up staying until June 2014, when he returned to SWF after just 18 months. He exited USPW as the reigning USPW Television Champion, having taken the belt from Nicky Champion in March.

 

SWF did it well – Laramee’s first match back was a win against Brandon James, the man who had beaten him in his last match with the fed in 2012. He really hit stride in 2015 with a headlining feud against reigning SWF World Heavyweight Champion Joe Money which spilled into 2016 where Laramee finally bested J. Money for the belt at Nothing to Lose in February. The King of the Streets would make 20 defenses and get ready to celebrate a year as champion, but Captain Atomic took the belt from him at Nothing to Lose 2017.

 

The inevitable Big Smack Scott feud chewed up the rest of 2017 when he was then thrown into a quick feud with Everest over the SWF World Heavyweight Championship vacated by Des Davids when he shockingly walked out on the promotion to join TCW. Laramee would beat Everest for his second world title at Nothing to Lose 2018 and he held it until the following February when he lost to Jay Chord on Supreme TV. He spent the rest of 2019 back in a tag team with Big Smack Scott this time just called Laramee & Scott.

Actually Everest never had the belt. When Davids vacated, Laramee & Everest battled for the then vacant title.

 

Love this thread. Could you please let me know how my new fave worker Leigh Burton has got on?

 

Thanks, no problem will check him out before I advance anything.

 

As opposed to in-depth worker history, how about some promotions? In particular VWA? :)

 

Sure. Should be fun. :)

 

I'd personally like an over view of all of Europe, not JUST VWA.

 

Heck, I want to know what Bam Bam's career has been like.

 

Nice, I'll check them out. An overview of Europe might be essay-length. I'll try to keep it reasonable. :)

 

Should I put this into a thread in the dynasty forum? Wouldn't mind doing fed or region overviews, but they'll likely be focused on the major title storylines and not so much a general discussion-type post.

I'm going to do a new 10-year sim now that the official patch has come out and start up a watcher dynasty based from those results. I'll keep the save I had been reporting on though in this thread to use as a comp, and will report some differences or similarities noticed here.

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)

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.
