KnowYourEnemy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 XDW, Year 2 http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/PromotionNews2_zps643c2e94.png 2009 looked promising for XDW. We were nearing small, we had momentum, and our bank account was booming. However, when I rolled a (13) for my yearly roll, I should have known bad things were on the horizon. '08: 13. “I Fought The Law And The Law Won” +20% to your Law Problems, also tick the “Known” checkbox. It started out unassuming enough. SWF Head Booker Sky King brought in an excellent new champion, and North America had a National Promotion to start the year. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/Squeeky_zpsf16b2d21.png Squeeky defended it eight times during the year, and SWF got along swimmingly. Tommy Cornell spared no expense to bring the brainpower necessary to take down the supreme juggernaut. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/BryantLosesBook_zps3adbf2a1.png He hired a man with an IQ of 164, one hardcore icon Larry Wood, to run the promotion. Results this year were mixed for Larry, but I am firmly behind him because he's over six feet tall and weighs in a trim 300 pounds. Yep, go get em' Larry. The calm before the storm saw us in good financial shape. So good, that when the perpetual Jobber Mark Smart was released, I compensated his close friend Velocidad with a handsome $2000 bonus, who responded by still hating my guts until I could hire his best buddy back, and losing virtually all of his overness in two months. The storm arrived soon enough. We soon got hit with a runaway train of promotions in regional wars, starting with three promotions who scored at least a C each month: BSC, AAA, and CZCW. They were soon joined by PWMAX, who consistently scored slightly above us each month. The notably grumpy Super Sonic didn't respond well to the change in fortunes. First, he started rumors with another member of the roster, getting fined for his actions. Then... he feuded openly with another original member of XDW.... http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/SuperSonicSlashBambino_zps7aafffcb.png As for icing on the cake, Super Sonic pulled a mean-spirited prank on the only XDW original that was having any success, #1 Contender... http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/Prank_zps6d92f0ca.png ..Daredevil Aero. Super Sonic was fired. Daredevil Aero got remarkably over, and he capped off his excellent run when he won the title in July. He'd go on to feud with Jacob Jett, who got to send packing as we were hemorrhaging money. He tried to feud with a repackaged Cheetah Boy, but bad chemistry brought the feud to a merciful end. We lost nearly 2,000 dollars in September, and we reluctantly decided to not renew the contracts of our top two stars. Jacob Jett and his unwillingness to work high-risk matches and Ash Campbell the perpetual underachiever were let go, and with Campbell's departure the horrid feeling of copying LordJaguar left as well. Unfortunately, the cutbacks meant that we had to release dead weight Extreme Deluxe, whose $350 price tag was simply too expensive for us to carry. Cheetah Boy's contract is not going to be renewed, as he wanted a $100 raise and that is simply too expensive for us. He will be missed, and perpetual jobber Mark Smart is out the door [again] as well, until we can job him out under a new gimmick in a few months. In 2009, we had our seven best shows and nine of our ten best matches. Two of the top three are pure eye candy fests involving our *hand quotes* 'Women's Division' *hand quotes*, so you can debate how much of an accomplishment it is. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/Top100Matches_zpsed2639e6.png My user character is on the hot seat as we've fallen to #41 in the company rankings all the way from 2008's #34 due to getting whupped in regional battles. I'll fail the critical goal this year, so I have to start earning dough so I can get my critical goal next year. If Mr. Reckless doesn't fire my character by then. I got to tell you, I'm getting sick of catering to fans who would rather see T&A than an actual match. I've been applying to every opening, with no luck so far, but I'm hoping to jump ship ASAP. 69th Street Belt: Daredevil Aero, Won July 2009 Defenses: 3 Title Lineage: Jamie Atherton, 5 Defenses: July 2008-July 2009 Ring Rat Belt: Amy Galaxy, Won November 2008 Defenses: 2 Title Lineage: Hellcat Hernandez, 2 Defenses: September 2008-November 2009 69th Street Tag Titles: The Odd Couple (Christian Price & Weird Waldo Odlaw), Won January 2009 Defenses: 5 Roster as of JAN 2010: Main Event (Heels,Faces) The Tic Velocidad Daredevil Aero Upper Midcard Cheetah Boy as The Outrageous Arona Jamie Atherton Mark Smart Midcard Weird Waldo Odlaw Christian Price Xavier Reckless Lower Midcard Fearless Blue Enhancement Talent The Secret Weapon Women's Division: Hellcat Hernandez Amy Galaxy Staff Announcer: Lee Bambino Color: Vinny Cruz Road Agent: Reese Paige Ref: Erin Lawrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is hope, as Mexican Hardcore Wrestling is opening south of the border. And us luck would have it, owner El Rey decided that my character was the man for the job, and we move to book small MHW in Mexico. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/MexicanHardcoreWrestling_zps4490a21b.png http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/MHWProduct_zps4716b853.png Talk about an offer I couldn't refuse. El Rey had hired most of the wrestlers and staff, but I chose to tweak it to bring in my own guys.

Irish Wolf Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 SO I jumped my user character from my started fed after it had reached regional to BCG which was cult at the time. it took me year and a half but I got us up to national and I had just pushed at main event and had started to put on some super high 80s matches. Suddenly I fell back down to cult. Damn importance dropped in my lowest region. The worst was because it dropped to like 64.94 it still said 65 in the size section and I was scratching my head as too why I dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowYourEnemy Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 MHW, Year 1 http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/PromotionNews3_zps523e193d.png 2010 was a promising year for Pablo Sanchez, or as his masked counterpart over the border is known, El Arma Secreta. '08: 13. “I Fought The Law And The Law Won” +20% to your Law Problems, also tick the “Known” checkbox. '09. 32. “Puntastic Punditry” You realise you’re better at commentating than you thought, +15 to Announcing With a warchest near 100 grand, a young, talented hardcore brawler named El Rey as head booker, and the LEGEN-DARY! Luis Montero as head booker, things looked good for the young company. MHW had a scorcher of a year in scorching hot Northern Mexico. We started out signing several American Talents, notably Hard-1, whose great psychology and terrific hardcore ability led to him getting the 'ol super-push, and landed him in a Championship Match with the Mexican Beast. Speaking of which, Beast was the absolute face of the promotion, and one of the few guys able to work a hardcore match. All good things come to an end, as Hard-1 left the match shelved for the rest of the year with a broken leg. In other parts of the world, SWF made a solid push towards international, and Sky King used his newfound position to make things better for himself. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/SkyKing_zps5469747a.png And the man behind Idaho's horrible fortunes was revealed. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/IdahosPunishment_zpsd6af6beb.png He'd been punishing them for a quarter of a decade. What a scumbag. And to the surprise of no-one... http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/EndofXDW_zpsa097b344.png Xavier went on a reckless spending spree in January, hiring the Guru as head booker and signing several expensive wrestlers including California Love Machine. El Rey had the funds to buy out the promotion, and I poached a few of my favorites: The Odd Couple (Price & Waldo Odlaw), Jamie Atherton and Velocidad. Velocidad was C- across Mexico, and wouldn't sign for our small promotion, so getting his contract for a meager $250/yr by raiding XDW was an absolute coup. In December 2010, my booking strategy paid off, as MHW reached regional in its first year, and we had our best show. However, all good things come to an end, as our "star" wrestler chose to leave for domino-shaped pastures.... http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/MexicanBeast_zps29a0b674.png To boot, Mexican Beast is our primary champion, which I almost scheduled him to drop to Velocidad at the end of season.

Bad Collin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 After completing this challenge in the US I have started again as a UK promotion. The idea this time is to complete the challenge purely in the UK. I'm on the full challenge this time, booking without a dirt sheet is hard work. I have started as Three Lions Wrestling based in the South with this product: Key feature: Cult + Modern Heavy: None Medium: Traditional, Mainstream, Comedy, Hardcore, Daredevil It's pop over performance and the crowd hate bad workers, this is going to be a challenge. End of year one and i'm still at local. I have made $27,000 This is my guy after one year: http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k253/Badcollin/HawkeYear1_zps50f80169.png I have Genocide Agent as my champion feuding with Barry Griffin and Trance. I think in the long run i'll have some fun running this promotion then 'sell out' at some point and go to 21CW if they are still going. Year One Roll: 7. “That Loving Feeling…” Your love life has something happen. Move along the scale from left to right, starting a new relationship with someone appropriate (according to their own preferences) on your roster. Dating->Engaged->Married->Separated->Dating->… (use your own discretion if you need to work out if they are the parent of any children you may have. IF you are separated you may choose to start dating someone else, or start over again with them) I am now dating Melanie Florence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Collin Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I just burnt through a whole year. We are now up to small with $175,000 in the bank. Year two roll: 5. "Lean On Me" Gain Strong Friendship with random wrestler in your promotion. -15 to both your character's and the random wrestler's Bad Personal Extras (Smoking, Drinking etc), and set to Reformed. I am now best buds with Peter 'Strife' Michaels. He is one of the jobbers that the fans hate because he can't wrestle. Still, I suppose it is always useful to have the extra backstage positivity.

MHW had a banner year. The promotion made tons of money, drew throughout Mexico, and made record profits.

Velocidad proved up to the task of Champion, putting on terrific matches with his top challengers, The Chaos Connection, early in the year. His victory over Hijo Del Mephisto in May garnered a B rating – and the promotion flourished. However, all good things come to an end… http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/Velocidad_zps9feb7af0.png Velocidad was snatched away by newly-national SOTBPW in August, prompting him to drop the title to his greatest enemy, Hijo Del Mephisto. SOTBPW took Hard-1 and whatever chances we had to grow our hardcore audience soon after. The Chaos Connection, Hijo Del Mephisto and Guerrero Muerto, were split, and the two headlined with several great matches in the ongoing feud. The rest of the wrestling world was in a somber mood. Two great minds were snatched before their time by the clutches of death. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/RollingStone_zps574fe4a0.png http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/LastFourChords_zpsdfde33ef.png THREE New promotions popped up in Mexico during the summer of 2011. WAM!, FEW and CILL were born. The three provided surprisingly solid opposition to MHW regularly producing C+ shows. MHW won two regional battles, lost one, and drew one, which is not a bad record when your opponent is booked by Luis Montero. And then… in December Week 3 on a Tuesday, I gave El Rey my notice. I was given the one offer I couldn’t refuse. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/RTG%20-%20For%20The%20Forum/BlackCanvasGrappling_zps3762a6d1.png Roster as of DEC 2012: Main Event (Heels,Faces) Cirque Jr. El Mitico, Jr. Guerrero Muerto Demon Seed Hijo Del Mephisto Reaper Cicero Upper Midcard Anarchist Asesino Del Hacha Asesino De La Spada Decipher Zebra Man Midcard Jesus Chavez Rudy Velaquez El Bestia Purpura El Jefe Militar El Rey Jamie Atherton Pablo Sanchez as El Arma Secreta Lower Midcard Babau Hector Galindo High Flyin’ Hawaiian Ray Snow Openers Matt Hocking Derek Frost Kamikaze Christian Vars Enhancement Moroi Staff Announcer: Alfonso Garcia Color: Vinny Cruz Road Agent: Luis Montero Ref:Esteban Ferrer Current Champions: Mexican Champion: Hijo Del Mephisto Defenses: 5 World Champion: Demon Seed Defenses: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Casey Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Thread needs another James Casey update Hey, it's only been 18 months... * End of year 6 - WPL is still regional, but now with something like $1.2 million in the bank. - We're involved in regional battles in the Mid South (CZCW, XWA, QAW, IPW), South West (QAW, PWMAX, ELITE, GSW, AAA) and Mid West (XWA, QAW) now, which is fun. - Matthew Keith held the WPL title from May 2017 until January 2018, losing to Mainstream Hernandez (2nd reign), who dropped the belt to Kirk Jameson (3rd reign). Kirk, very over but probably not in my top 8 workers, held onto the belt for 6 long months. I don't, by and large, pick winners for my matches and Kirk drew B-/C+ match ratings that didn't do much to keep our momentum up - With USPW on a raiding spree, Foxxy LaRue got yoinked. With WPL in a bitter mood, Wanda Fish got picked up and given the title over Kirk because the head booker has always wanted to book Wanda. Wanda, alas, can't carry a main event-length match any more... - As then, so now. The same four teams (American Dragons, Paradox & Revell, Blaze & Young, Paradigm & Paranoia) continued to feud over the tag team titles. Raphael and Quentin Queen somehow got in the mix, winning a random match over the Cobras before dropping the belts back in their next match. The Cobras otherwise reigned all year long. - WPL gained a new title, the Rising Star title booked as an 8 person tournament in our season finale. So, that was 7 matches, 3 of which had chemistry issues, all of them between midcard talent, 2 of whom came out with morale issues... Oh, and the main event was one of the bad chemistry matches, scoring a 35. Sigh... At least in Danielle Sweetheart we have a strong champion, right? - What with all the regional battles, we've only gained 5 points in overness in 2018. Previously it's been 7-8 points. December saw us drop a point, as our show only pulled a C-, our worst result in 4 years. - Champagne Lover won WOTY, SOTBPW got COTY, Avalanche Takano YWOTY and Most Improved COTY (twice our award) goes to the Mammoth-owned, Tamara McFly-booked Ultimate Championship Wrestling, a hardcore company run in Ontario. Yeah. - My year end bonus was #22, giving me 5 points in Aerial. As for the rest of my skills, Pyschology's jumped by a useful 6 points while the other skills have moved along by 1-2 points in the main. - After pretty much ignoring storylines, I've decided to pay more attention to them in 2019. It may not make much difference, but I'm adding a recurring monthly show to try and keep the popularity going, and it seems like having some focus on storylines where some of the workers involved actually get a bonus from them might help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 End of year 7 - Wanda Fish's experimental run in WPL ran its course in August, the veteran showing a surprising lack of professionalism by complaining about 2 of the 3 jobs she was told to do on her way out, and tanking the match results in all 3 - Steve Flash set a new round of owner goals across the summer, including a requirement to hit $3,000,000 in the bank come mid-2021. Fortunately, show attendance picks up (to 5,000 sellouts by November, not bad considering we were only just selling out 2,000 seat arena in November last year) shortly afterwards as we jump 5 points in popularity in between May and August alone - Welcome the jabronis: In a bid to beef up the midcard's win-loss records, David Stone, Talia Quinzel, Syd Collier and newgen Vernon Ward are brought in to join myself, Hugh De Aske, Outlaw Wes Revell and Aston "Paradox" Barnaby as the resident light starers. Stone promptly scuttles the plan by being awesome and leaping into the midcard, pulling in match ratings the equal of my established main event. As for the others, Collyer pulls better ratings than half my roster and Ward and Quinzel show excellent chemistry during their debut defeat to Mo & Viper. WPL – where even those booked to fail still succeed... - Also debuting this year was Fro Zone, but nothing jabroni-ish about him. Straight to the main event, and straight into the high ratings - The tag belts remained in orbit around the American Cobras, but (Mighty) Mo & (Purple) Viper benefited from chemistry and a desire to turn Mo's frown upside down by enjoying a run with the titles in mid year before dropping them back, only for an October rematch to see the unlikely pair walk out two-time champions. Then Mo decided to leave, so come December the belts went back to the Cobras for their 4th reign. - Frankie Perez entered the year as WPL champion before losing to Ernest Youngman (2nd reign) in March and regaining the belt in June. Youngman somehow missed defending his title in April, but the prestige of the belt doesn't noticeably suffer. - The Rising Star title goes from Danielle Sweetheart to Davis Wayne Newton, before the booker realises that having Newton hold a midcard belt is doing the 32 year old no favours, and he drops the belt to Raphael to begin his pursuit of the big gold belt. Sweetheart then regains the belt in a spot of sloppy booking – Millie The Minx was supposed to be in the match, but the two look so similar in their pictures... - 10 of the 13 WPL originals remain on the roster; Amy Galaxy and Mark Smart walked over money, while Steve Flash has retired. 6 of the 10 are in tag teams (Paranoia/Paradigm, Deborah Young/Bradley Blaze, Revell Barnaby), my UC is an Opener, Quentin Queen and The Pilgrim are midcarders (and occasional tag partners) and Ernest Youngman is in the main event. - Our shows typically pull an average of around a B-, sometimes dipping into the Cs. The monthly WPL generally pulls marginally lower ratings, as I tend to book a tag match in the main to build towards the 'named' show later in the month. - Steve Flash thrives on ridiculously petty rivalries; In addition to our being hostile to CZCW (22nd in the rankings) he's decided that we're to be hostile to Farrah Hesketh's QAW (24th in the rankings) as well. We, incidentally, are 23rd in the rankings – the most prestigious indy fed in the US (4th most influential in the US) but behind CZCW, PSW and NYCW in terms of popularity. - Not WPL specific, but while searching for a replacement for Mighty Mo, who was still angry at a loss in December last year, I noted that Justin Sensitive is still on a developmental contract in RIPW... after 13 years. Take a hint, Justin. Cameron Jones, incidentally, will be Mo's replacement as he recreates the Dynamite Express in WPL with Syd Collier. The matches between them and the American Cobras should be something to see. Purple Viper, sadly for her, will become the designated midcard loser. - It slowly dawned on me that expanding our roster without also expanding our show length was a bit daft, really. I use every worker on every show and we're closing in on a $100,000 profit each month. Longer shows don't cost any more to run, so the 'name' events are going up from 90 minutes to 2 hours, and our December season finale, The Final Whistle, goes from 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes. WPL Live stays at 90 minutes, and may well go to all-tag matches. - WotY: Champagne Lover, sixth time. CotY: SOTBPW, fifth time; MICotY... goes to BPW, a Scottish Company who went from 30 to 35 popularity in Scotland last year. WPL went from 46 to 64 popularity in the Mid South last year, winning a slew of regional battles, putting on a string of great shows and capping the year off with our best show ever and joint best match ever too. Sorry, rant over... - My destiny roll was 52. "Charity Event" , so I'll get a boost in popularity and no ticket sales for the first WPL Live of the year. I can live with that. Kinda bummed that the 'promotion alliance' option was second on the list, though - I miss being able to trade workers around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Wallbanger Jones, End of Year 1 http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s59/Wallbanger1071/RTG/Year1UserStats_zps2e759b10.png (Yes, that is an 18 year old Wallbanger, with a slightly behind the times perm and no facial hair. Can you feel the nostalgia? CAN YOU FEEL IT?!?!?) As mentioned, I used the nerfed Heidenrieich build for my point distribution. First year progress in a local fed falls along the expected curve (i.e. SLOWLY). http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s59/Wallbanger1071/RTG/Year1Skills_zpsde0cf975.png My created fed, Dakota Pro Wrestling, is based in the Mid West. I used the Fun for the Whole Family product template. Based on that I was getting right around 10k/month in sponsorship, so that gave me a budget to work with. With the roster I assembled I could use the whole roster each show and still make ~1k/month, depending on the actual sponsorship income. Ended the year with $17,543, then rolled "Where There's a Will" and took the cash, so now have $74,152 in the bank (now I don't have to panic if the sponsorship money dries up, yay!). http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s59/Wallbanger1071/RTG/Year1Roster_zpscd46cf2f.png At the outset, Al Madril and Brad Rheingans were my top franchise players, but they ended up with bad chemistry. The other two main eventers at the outset were Phi Delta Slam, who I really didn't WANT in the ME, so I feuded them with Harlem Heat in order to leach some pop off of them. Booker T took off really well and now he's the #2 Franchise Player, underneath Raven, using his entertainment skills to push him up. Raven also got to be the opponent for Tommy Gilbert's retirement match (he is still my referee/road agent). After that Raven won the DPW Title from Rheingans, who won it initially, in October. Discovered good chemistry between Madril and The Godfather, and used that to help bring Godfather up. This allows me to set up 1992 pitting the trio of Raven (using his Johnny Polo alter ego) & Phi Delta Slam against The Godfather and Harlem Heat, then use the old guys (both Madril and Rheingans are on Time Decline) as gatekeepers. My two biggest headaches backstage are Raven (my #1 Franchise Player) and Steve Austin (my #1 Next Big Thing). I ended up hiring Jeannie Clark to manage Austin (in the ring and backstage). Some of the more interesting world events: Company openings: SEWA (Feb 91), RINGS (May 91), GWF (June 91), SMW (Sep 91) Out of business: SEWA (May 91), PWF (June 91), PFWG (July 91), W*ING (July 91) Ownership Moves: Jim Crockett Jr. takes over PNW following Don Owen's retirement, hires Bill Watts to book Notable In Ring Retirements: Butch Miller, Cocoa Samoa, Austin Idol, Mongolian Stomper, Tommy Gilbert, Bob Brown, Iron Sheik, Afa, Invader #1, Ivan Koloff Notable Full Retirements: Bobo Brazil, Wally Karbo, Bill Mercer, Don Owen, Lance Russell, Francisco Flores, Lou Thesz Deaths: Nick Bockwinkel, Les Thornton, Gypsy Joe Random Incidents: Ultimate Warrior is cast for a movie in April 91, and his popularity skyrockets (100 across the board in US/Canada), is then inexplicably released by WWF in October, and has been unemployed since. Current Major Title Holders: WWF Heavyweight - Big Bossman (defeated Ultimate Warrior at Royal Rumble) WWF Intercontinental - Tito Santana (defeated The Barbarian on Superstars - Wk 2 Oct 91) IGWP World Heavyweight - Tatsumi Fujinami (16 defenses in 1991) IGWP Junior Heavyweight - Koji Kanemoto (defeated El Samurai on tour - Wk 2 Oct 91) NWA World Heavyweight - Rick Steiner (defeated Sting at The Great American Bash) NWA US Heavyweight - Lex Luger (10 defenses in 1991) AJPW Triple Crown - Abdullah the Butcher (defeated Mitsuharu Misawa in May 91 after Stan Hansen abdicated title signing written deal for WCW) The top end of the 1991 PWI 500: http://i149.photobucket.com/albums/s59/Wallbanger1071/RTG/Year1P500_zps08a6b995.png http://s149.photobucket.com/user/Wallbanger1071/media/RTG/Year1UserStats_zps2e759b10.png.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowYourEnemy Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 After my old file crashed, good ol' James Casey seems to have got me back in this. I'll have my RTG up tonight, going again with the hardcore fed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnowYourEnemy Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Road To Glory, Year 4.1 It's been three years with the hardcore fed Scottish Highland Wrestling, under (who else) Highland Warrior. Fittingly, for my first roll, I got "war is good for the business" so when I remembered to apply my roll in late February, and we went to war with 21CW. The Highland Warrior joined the commentary team with Des Graves. Nick Adams was hired for our first show, and Ripper Le Stat beat Ultra Violence for the innaugural championship. After a poor showing, "Hardcore" Ultra Violence saw his star drastically fall, and would find himself putting people over for four years. Menace was brought in from UEW, and removed the title from LeStat after a few months. Menace reigned for half a year as the lead babyface, before the introduction of foreigner Greg Gauge gave him a challenge he couldn't defeat. The Gauge Era continued for 18 months, dominating faces including Bruiser, Menace, Beast Bantom. I rolled an addition to Weird (+20) for the year-end roll. User Character "Krugh" eventually stole the title from Gauge, cementing a babyface turn and has held it for the last six months. Year end roll produced +5 selling. The Heavyweight Entertainer has done well for himself so far, and the matches with Gauge have improved his varied skillset. End of Year Three Stats: http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/EndofYearFour_zps008a6d6a.png Scottish Highland Wrestling is close to Regional at this point, hopefully "Krugh" can jump to one of many unstable Cult promotions. Japan is nice this time of year. Blood, Sweat and Beers Champion: "Krugh" (12 Defenses) Bloody Good Mates Titles: "The Surge" (Justin Kowalski [Geordie Jim Morris Regen] & Willie Serrano [Thug Regen]) (2 Defenses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Collin Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just reached the end of 2020. I'm up to Cult and amazingly 21CW are still going. My roster is stacked with talent now, I have Nigel Svensson, Darin Flynn, War Machine, Beast Bantom, Seb Koller etc. My favourite moment of this save just happened when CGC released Greg Gauge just as I was able to offer written contracts, he is getting a mega push. End of year roll: 31. "You're a Natural" After a booking error you are forced to step into the role of referee for a match and discover a yet unknown skill in that area. +15 to Refereeing. Pointless.

KnowYourEnemy Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Road To Glory, Year 5.1 With a steady profit margin, Year 4 saw significant return on investment. Greg Gauge won the championship for a short spell in the Summer, before deciding to take his big-shot attitude to a bigger promotion (ie not here). We did ride his in-ring skills to Regional, and proceeded to sign everyone and their mother available on the 21CW roster to Exclusive PPA contracts. Ivan Ivonoff and Buff Martinez, with loud-mouth manager Jackie Goldstein, became a rival NWO-style faction in an angle blatantly ripped from Raven (not the wrestler, mind you), and SHW rose up the ranks NWO style with similar payoffs, resulting in a multi hundred thousand dollar warchest. Of course, I put myself at the top, aligning myself with the gold in the "New Kilt Order" brother. And SHW brought home the gold, er.. most improved award, for our shareholders. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/MostImprovedCompany_zps82572341.png Phil Vilbert, whose surging CGC hit a snag, received an ax for christmas. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/VilbertLosingPower_zps3777147a.png I wouldn't call it a "flop", say, to be the #4 Company in the world out of Vancouver, Canada. I would've kept Vilbert at least until the day after you fell to cult... http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/AFlop_zps47b0866e.png He will be a tough act to follow. Fortunately, the head booker for the Most Improved Company in the World is taking calls, and would gladly take credit for Vil... I mean "clean up the mess". "Krugh", executioner and user avatar, has shaped up into a real wrestler. http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/SkillsFourYearMark_zps446cb620.png But will "Krugh" get his dream job in Canadia the Land of Enchantment? SHW Titles as of Jan 2018: Blood, Sweat and Beers: 2 Time Champion Krugh, The Executioner, 7 Defenses Bloody Good Mates Titles: Notorious F.R.E.A.K & Michael Aldana [Random Gen] as the Shredding Alliance, 5 Defenses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Collin Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 <p>Well, I just got sacked from ROF. Highland Warrior set me some very stiff momentum goals and I missed a couple and got canned. </p><p> </p><p> I left them rapidly catching up with 21CW and on the verge of qualifying for a TV deal. I had also signed up the best young workers in the country, they are going to be tough to overhaul.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
