I've simmed through two years with no job offers in the UK. To make things worse Pit Bull Brown has taken my roster and done incredible things with it, they are getting close to National

 

21CW went bust finally in March 2022.

 

Can't you take an offer outside the UK?

[Bad Collin]

I don't feel like starting over from 0 pop in another region

Do you mean for your characters pop or for a company. Cause a massive winning streak and your characters pop can jump pretty quickly. Hell with losses to big name characters I've seen jumps from 0 to 15 after 5 shows in a month. If you put yourself on a win streak in a touring promotion doing two shows a week I bet you could meet or exceed your current pop in the UK pretty easily.

[SeanMcFly]

First Year done, rolled number 29: +5 to consistency which I'm happy about.

I applied for a job with L-Ring when it opened up and I'm still awaiting a response. I'll keep updating as the game goes on!

[KnowYourEnemy]

Ugh, my second RTG file corrupted. Well, I'm going to try Canadia again.

True, it's really more to do with wanting to complete the challenge in the UK. I've got really bored of grinding up to cult and with 21CW bust the only cult promotion in the UK is ROF and I don't think they will be taking me back.

 

I started an AWA game in Genadi's 1987 mod now and i'm hooked. I might come back to this game as some point but for now i'm deep into my Bret Hart v Ted DiBiase v Curt Hennig feud.

[SeanMcFly]

Second Year done, rolled number 36: +20 to heel performance.

 

Still with QUEST, despite all my best efforts to move up to a different promotion, nobody seems to be taking me. Not L-Ring, not SAW, not even Kanzen.

 

SWF have flip-flopped back and forth between National & International, and now National & Cult. Peter Michaels was just ejected from his role at the helm and no new booker has been chosen. I'd love to jump up but I'm still far away from that opportunity.

 

QUEST is now considered a small sized promotion and as such, we actually have a budget to hire some new talent that has some decent skill.

I added token points to Sex Appeal, Reffing, and Announcing. Sex appeal more because I didn't want to put like 5 in while having 75 SQ.

 

First yearly roll was the +5 Chain Wrestling one. Helpful, but still lookign for something better.

 

Overall, character is doing great, although I suspect a botch happened while divvying up the stat points. Had I known selling was slow going, maybe I would've done it differently, lowered safety and basics a bit. My character is doing colour commentary, thus explaining the progression. Its justified because hes a suckup to owner and first colour guy Carl Batch. Any opinions on this level of progression? Good sign? Bad sign?

 

The company my character's working for? Hoo boy.

 

...........So Carl Batch took over early, and within 3 months the dumbass changed my perfect Key Modern/Heavy Mainstream and Cult/Medium Traditional and Comedy product into a weird mess. I've got Risque and Daredevil at Heavy on a roster with only a female ref and no one willing to take Sick Bumps for any show. Also, the sponsorship money was cut by three grand a month, meaning I have to rely on RNG to break even or better. I saved up 12 grand and blew half of it on a two show month in a desperate bid to get to Small before the end of the year, but I'll have to wait until February.

 

My roster has Glenn, Youngman, Honeyman, Regular Joe, El Mitico Jr and a generated guy with 90+ Basics and Selling and 60 Psych for the top end of the scene. He also has 71 Menace, but is a Cruiserweight, so I put him under a scary mask as Greed Knight. So far, I've only gotten a single D+ match, a Cage match between Honeyman and Glenn. I suspect my product is screwing certain people over, but it could be Momentum. I blame Batch though.

 

Low-end of my roster consists of dirt-cheap guys like Melvin Otto, Phobia, Simon Ice, Alan Parent(!) and Sterling Whitlock. I've got some slightly more expensive not crap guys in the rotation such as Boriken Love Machine Jr, Bradley Blaze and Felipe Caballero. Anders Thunder is doing the monstering, although its not working too well. I suspect its because of the product and the matches being too long for dominating victories.

 

Once I get to Small, I intend to get Spencer Spade, who was canned by the SWF and is midcardin in PSW. I may hire Haley Buck because Carl Batch has not progressed a single point at the commentary desk. But then, he has experience with Harvey Manners built up. We'll see how it goes.

 

Any thoughts?

[Bad Collin]

So tempted to start another one of these, as soon as I get to National in a game I start thinking about my next.

RTG: Fabrice "Frosty" Winston, 2014-2019

Current Year: 2019

Main Event:

Faces: Nigel Svennson, Sterling Whitlock, Steven Parker

Heels: Funakoshi, Logan Wolfsbaine

Provincial Champion (A* Prestige): Funakoshi (3rd Title Reign)

Royale Tag Team (D+ Prestige): Nigel Svennson & Fabrice "Frosty" Wilson (1st Title Reign)

 

The first five years of Quebec Pro Wrestling were marked by sustained excellence. The workers were interchangable, yet the product was consisently good, winning three straight years of regional battles in the Ontario region, besting upstart UCW and 4C consistently.

 

The defining two performers of early QPW were "The Supreme Star" Spencer Spade and "The Architect of Your Destruction" The Architect. The two bitter rivals warred over the belt for two years ecompassing two title reigns and thirty-six defenses. The two performers complimented excellent technical skill with great charisma. Spade, who washed out of the SWF, was chosen as the 2016 "best young prospect in wrestling" in an online survey.

 

Spencer Spade left the company for guarenteed money with USPW in November of 2018. The Supreme Star would come to regret this short sighted decision. Spade stated "when I joined USPW, I was promised a big push, but under Belle Bryden it hasn't materialized. I learned you can't put a price on an excited, engaged base of fans" stated The Supreme Star in the Where Are They Now? edition of PWInsider. The Architect was unable to recapture his success during his feud with Spade, and fell down the card.

 

There were many insiders who speculated Spade's depature marked the end for QPW. The company lost reliable road agent Pistol Pete Hall, who left to book NOTBPW, and Brent Hill, who books CGC. Fabrice Winston brought in a replacement in "The Embodiment of Poruesu" Funakoshi. The Japanese wrestler had been mired as a midcarder in Japan's Hinote Dojo. "I couldn't believe he was availible. I was scouring Japan for talent. I saw one match and said 'alright, this guy is a lifer'. He was champ within a month and it was the best booking decision I ever made" stated Winston in an interview with PWInsider.

 

QPW is inching closer to competing with stalwarts CGC and NOTBPW as the twenty-ten decade draws to a close. The same insiders who doubted the company's future now think QPW will rise atop Canadian Wrestling within five years. "They've built a solid foundation" stated one unnamed analyst "all they need to do is utilize the talent". The future is bright for the regional promotion from Montreal, Canada.

[Bad Collin]

I did restart my UK RTG challenge. I burned through three years in the last week. I just hit regional, Merle O'Curle has been my champion the whole time and as things stand he can get a B- rating out of anyone on the roster.

 

Starting Stats:

Current Stats (Jan 2017):

 

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k253/Badcollin/HawkeROFJan2017_zpsac012343.png

 

I have developed much faster than last time, I'm already up there as a 'great' brawler.

 

Top matches so far:

 

1. Aug 2016 - Merle O'Curle over Arutha Hawke - B-

2. Oct 2016 - Merle O'Curle over Jonny Highspot - B-

3. Sep 2016 - Merle O'Curle over Jonny Lowlife - B-

 

End of year rolls:

 

37. “Eeeehhhhhhhhhhh” Henry Winkler has given you the thumbs up. You can choose to add 20 points to your Cool Performance rating OR use a random number generator to score between 0 and 50, adding the number to your Cool Performance rating.

45. “Say Your Prayers, Drink Your Milk And Take Your Vitamins” You can choose to add 20 points to your Wholesome Performance rating OR use a random number generator to score between 0 and 50, adding the number to your Wholesome Performance rating.

26. “A Bumpy Ride” You have devoted your holiday season to training in the ring +5 to your Basics skill

[K-Nection]

I am curious if anyone has tried doing a multi-player RTG yet and if they had I would like to hear how it went.

[Bad Collin]

End of Year Five

 

I've never got a roll like this before:

 

http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k253/Badcollin/HawkeNewROF2019_zpsbd054f8f.png

 

I one of the world's elite workers after five years, the challenge is going to be getting to national when the importance of the British region is quite low and finding another world class worker to have my A* match with - I'm the only 'great' brawler who can work in the UK.

 

The New ROF are now a very solid regional promotion. We have a million in the bank, D- importance in Central UK and E in Southern UK. There is someway to go yet but pulling off B grade events is possible at the moment.

 

Merle O'Curle was finally dethroned after 36 defences by Luke Cool. Cool held the title for 10 months but lost it back to O'Curle at the end of year Sole Survivor event. 2019 is going to be the year that Hawke finally beats his mentor and takes the big prize. We should also be closing in on cult by the time 2020 rolls around.

 

Top five matches:

 

1. Merle O'Curle over Luke Cool (Sole Survivor 2018) B+

2. Luke Cool over Merle O'Curle (Global Warfare 2018) B+

3. Luke Cool over Merle O'Curle (High Stakes 2018) B

4. Luke Cool over Merle O'Curle (King of Kings 2018) B

5. Merle O'Curle over Don Henderson (No Holds Barred 2017) B

 

Gotta love Merle.

 

last two rolls:

 

48. "Christmas Pudding" You have been piling on the pounds, go up one level of weight class. If you are now middleweight or higher, you can no longer be a Cruiserweight, Spot Monkey or Japanese junior and must be reclassified as a Regular Wrestler.

32. “Puntastic Punditry” You realise you’re better at commentating than you thought, +15 to Announcing

RTG: Fabrice "Frosty" Winston, 2014-2024

Current Year: 2024

"The Road To Redemption"

Published July 4th, 2024 in Wrestling Independent Edition,

Sometimes, change is where you least expect it. New York City's NYCW Promotion celebrated its 25th anniversary in September 2023. Going into the new year, the COTT member had a steady future. And then, there is a world-shifting event. NYCW Owner Larry Vessey passed away unexpectedly in 2024, ushering in a new era of NYCW. Retired Legend Jack "The Mayor of New York" Bruce took over the promotion, and hired an unexpected former wrestler for a shot at redemption.

http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/BrucieBonus_zps9ecb2344.png

Fabrice "Frosty" Wilson, who is better known by his stage name "Ice Man Quebecois", was picked to book NYCW in the new era. "The key is to stay positive" stated Fabrice, who we interviewed at the posh NYCW Headquarters. "I spend four years working house shows and independents. It would always surprise promoters just how good I was technically, but I could never land steady employment." Fabrice was considered three times for the NOTBPW Head Booker Position, but was turned down for Steve Flash, Bryan Holmes and "Pistol Pete" Hall. "If those guys couldn't fix it, I knew I didn't stand a chance."

http://i1316.photobucket.com/albums/t602/SoulshineSeeker/NYCW_zps9864a736.png

Fabrice was one of the industry's brightest stars heading into 2019. He built the third largest promotion, Quebec Pro Wrestling, from the ground up. The cult-sized company won Pro Wrestling Hit's 2019 award for Most Improved Promotion. However, a poor TV Deal combined with a lucrative offer to superstar Sonny Wildside left the promotion strained for cash in 2020, and in October 2020 Neil Kernahan gave Fabrice Winston the axe. "I was burnt out. the promotion was always broke, the stars were leaving for the states or NOTBPW, and I had been an enhancement talent for so long I was unable to improve myself as a star." Insiders thought a Japanese company would take a chance on Fabrice, but the two promotions had no opening for the Canadian.

Neil Kernahan hired renowned Road Agent, former DAVE Champion, and well-regarded booker Eric Tyler to replace Fabrice. We caught up with Kernhan at the headquarters of his road-sweeping office. "I hired Eric to be fiscally responsible. We weren't in a huge hole, but I had to cancel that Television Deal, and it seemed like we could dig ourselves out." Neil Kernahan said Tyler had other plans. "Eric Tyler hired the best, and the promotion wasn't going to last. Fabrice had limited the undercard to unsigned, young but raw talent. Eric Tyler's first transaction was to sign Alex DeColt and Ricky DeColt of the recently folded CGC promotion." QPW's bankruptcy in March of 2021 spelt the end of the second-largest promotion in Canada for the second time in five years. "I should've given Fabrice Winston one more month. He could've turned it around. We were making headway throughout Canada, and could have really challenged NOTBPW."

We'll be sure to keep our eyes on Fabrice Winston as he continues down the Road To Glory. Fabrice made headlines recently in cutting all ties NYCW had with the COTT, including the working agreement with FCW. "We want to be a big fish, and we couldn't abide by the COTT's rules. We needed to work in Ontario." NYCW has made headway into the Canadian markets, and is looking for a place to air its own Television Program. "That is the next logical step. This time, I know I have the financial backing to run a TV program."

[Winter8905]

Just started my game.. set up my company World Wrestling Elite based in American. Forgotthe exact nameof the product but somthing like. North American Sports Entertainment.

 

Pop over Performance.

 

its my first try and having a couple problems, although im making a good profit of 4k in the first month. im assuming thats due to the Sports entertainment sponsorship.

 

my end of shows the first two months have been 23/24 rating.which i feel is decent for a local company. my problem seems to be that my angles and match are no higher than 25. which means. my storyline heat requirement of 35 never gets met.

 

is this just somthing ill have putupwith untill i grow.

 

 

Any tips on how to start strong? any good people to sign.

 

im on signing kirk jameson to add some talent and pop to main event.

[Giel M]

Menace and Sex Appeal angles. There's plenty of affordable people with really high scores in those two. And even with no popularity they should easily be able to score way over 25 in angles emphasising their strong points.

[Bad Collin]

Yeah menace works in every fed I have ever booked. Book loads of brawls, beatdowns, stare downs and menacing promos.

[Winter8905]

I tried monster unleased menace angle with Anders.... forgot his last name and it barly broke 20. his menace is decent too.

 

what kind of scores and profits are good for the first year?

[Bad Collin]

Anything that is higher than your popularity. As long as you get the golden 'this show increased our popularity in x area(s)' at the end you are moving in the right direction.

 

Profits don't usually bother me until regional. Once there you want to make sure you have at least a million before hitting cult.

 

Momentum is going to be key. Hire some workers just to lose to your main guys.

[nebradska]

Momentum is going to be key. Hire some workers just to lose to your main guys.

 

Pretty sure Adam has said that momentum doesn't make a difference for your workers until you hit Cult.

[The Nickman]

I tried monster unleased menace angle with Anders.... forgot his last name and it barly broke 20. his menace is decent too.

 

what kind of scores and profits are good for the first year?

 

Your problem is the guy(s) he beat down was rated on overness and had none.

[Irish Wolf]

So time to start a new one of these. As AWE, Action Wrestling Experience set in the Tri-State Area in the Cverse '97. Yes I know that means I'll get sucked into the east coast wars and have horrible regional battles but I'm a glutton for punishment.

Starting Stats

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i312/Apupunchau/LoboJan97_zpsba804aa1.jpg

 

Year one saw AWE put on some great shows. The first five months was a tournament with each worker facing every other worker. The two workers with the most wins would go on to face each other again for the AWE Inspired (main event title). With 15 workers to face each worker saw three matches a show in those five months. Also yes this was just an excuse to test singles chemistry. The second five months was (you guessed it) an excuse to test tag chemistry as every worker teamed with every other worker. Before each show was also a meet and greet sessions. A few minutes for the workers to mingle with the crowd and get their bearings dealing with the audience (an angle set with everyone on screen and rated on entertainment).

 

The final call on tag teams ended up being

 

No Nonsense Harrison Hash and Tom Gilmore

The Predators Lobo Solitario and Snap Dragon

Psychedelic Psychos Joey Poison and Whippy the Clown

The Mat Warriors Deano Machino and Henry Bennet

The Upstarts Konrad Muldoon and Troy Tornado

Revolution X Canadian Superstar II and Lucas Hale (Great Chemistry)

Lobo Solitario and Tom Gilmore were the top two workers set to meet at The King of Queens in November to determine the first AWE Inspired champion. Also on that show the 1st Annual King of Queens tournament where the winner would get a shot in the new year at the AWE Inspired title. The tournament Finalists Snap Dragon and Harrison Hash put on a 58 rated match up with Snap Dragon becoming the King of Queens and number one contender. Tom Gilmore and Lobo Solitario met up in a ladder match for the AWE Inspired title. Gilmore was the winner and first ever champion, match rating 75.

1998 Roll: "Making Movies" You are unavailable for events for one month due to a role in a small movie (within the next 3 months you must pick 28 days during which you make no appearances for your company.). Gain +5 Star Quality.

 

And Lobo Solitario's popularity skyrocketed from 0 to 46.

[Irish Wolf]

Was gonna wait for the yearly write up but oh man first show of 1998 pushed me up to small sized and into regional battles. I got a 70 show on the back of a 79 rated Tom Gilmore vs Snap Dragon draw. I beat RPW, PPPW, XFW and NYCW in the regional battle.

[Bad Collin]

Pretty sure Adam has said that momentum doesn't make a difference for your workers until you hit Cult.

 

How sure are you about that? It seems to make a big difference at Regional.
