NYCW declared their dislike for me in a formal letter which was very nice of them. Followed soon by FCW who said they were only acknowledging my hostility toward them, problem is I don't remember being hostile with them. Oh well seems they're hostile with all the other feds the show in the Tri-State area, altough oddly they have a working agreement with CGC.

 

Ace McQueen (Quentin Queen) resigned with ELITE where he is now being pushed as a Lower Midcard

Sterling Whitlock did two tours with PGHW and although he’s mostly lost he’s becoming increasingly popular in the land of the rising sun.

Ace Reed signed for both NYCW and CZCW, his signing for NYCW was a bit awkward in the locker room as tey had just recently declared hostilities on AWE.

 

XWA went out of business setting Outlaw Wes Revell free to work only for me

 

Zak Johnson has been getting on very well with Josh Jones

Ace Reed has claimed his loyalty to Paradigm

Outlaw Wes Revell has claimed his loyalty to Taylor Kidd

This makes me INCREDIBLY happy. :)

 

Just finished Year 1, dice roll was 54, giving me a younger sibling who I'll create tonight. I'll update properly then.

Ok, I finished my first year as Christian Long, booker of Glory Road Wrestling and things went pretty well.

 

Just a few highlights, because I think before I go any further with this I'm going to go turn this into a dynasty.

 

Profit! GRW made $10,049 in 2013.

 

Quality! Our lowest rated show was an E, our highest was a D and the rest were 7 D-s and 3 E+s. Our best match was a D+ and we managed 10 Ds and 7 D-s.

Popularity! Our lowest attendance was a 9 but we ended the year with 78 people at GRW Fallout. We're still local, but at F+ popularity we're very very close to crossing over to small.

 

Look for more in the dynasty section soon.

Just finished my third year of the Road to Glory Challenge, forgot to update after year two so all stat increases encompass two years of progression. I seem to have stalled a little bit on skills for my user character, but popularity is strong (E+ in home region, good enough for main event and a justified title run). Meanwhile NCW is at E- popularity in home region, increased in size to Small, and is making enough of a profit to be able to afford a larger and more talented roster. I've enjoyed five D rated events, two D+ matches (Don Henderson over Nigel Svensson, and Russell T. Glory over Nigel Svensson), and my last two events have sold out the 300-capacity venue.

 

Bonus rolls:

2013 (26): +5 basics for Russell T. Glory

2014 (47): +10 popularity for Brilliant White (no longer with promotion), +2 popularity for NCW in Northern England

2015 (4): Strong friendship with Hiroyasu Gakusha, Gakusha active in British Isles, job offer

 

In-ring:

Brawling 8 (+6 in two years) -- Hardcore 8 (+6) -- Puroresu 7 (+5) -- Chain Wrestling 8 (+6) -- Mat Wrestling 8 (+6) -- Submissions 8 (+6) -- Aerial 61 (+4) -- Flashiness 32 (+5)

 

Performance:

Basics 67 (+5) -- Psychology 61 (+4) -- Consistency 61 (+4) -- Selling 61 (+4) -- Safety 63 (+6)

 

Physical:

Athleticism 62 (+8) -- Toughness 32 (+5) -- Stamina 63 (+9) -- Power 44 (+5) -- Resilience 100 (=)

 

Entertainment:

Microphone 67 (+1) -- Charisma 66 (+8) -- Acting 34 (+5) -- Star Quality 81 (+4) -- Sex Appeal 20 (+3) -- Menace 10 (=)

 

Other:

Announcing 0 (=) -- Refereeing 0 (=) -- Respect 14 (+10) -- Reputation 74 (+19)

 

Active wrestlers: Billy Robinson, Don Henderson (former champion), Hugh de Aske, Russell T. Glory (NCW champion), Nigel Svensson (former champion), Davey Celtic, Davey London, Genocide Agent (former champion), Suicide Agent, Beast Bantom, Johnny Highspot, Jonni Lowlife, Jon Michael Sharp, Martin Heath, Alton Vicious, Riddick Jordan, Mark Adonis, Mass Hulk, Michael Gregory, Gyula Lakatos

 

(I went a bit tag team mad once I made the jump to Small. I currently have seven established tag teams of whom five had already held either ROF or 21CW tag titles. )

 

Non-wrestlers: Simona Cox (face manager), Manny Morhan (announcer), Humphrey Woolsey (referee), Mike Peterson (road agent), Dunton Hall (owner, on-screen authority, part-time announcer)

What is your product? You seem to be doing quite well!

So this is my first version of TEW and played around a little bit before seeing this thread and decided to jump in head first. I'm sure it will end in massive failure since I really have no idea how the game works, but I seem to have actually gotten off to a good start.

 

I stole a lot of ideas from this thread on how to start, in terms of what product and which workers, but been playing pretty blind ever since.

 

I will update when I get home with some real info but in Feb 2014 I actually jumped up to small, and then bounced right back down again after coming in last place(out of 5) in the regional battle. Same thing happened in April. I'm guessing I have to splurge a little on talent to start putting on better shows so when I do bump up I can actually compete with the other feds in the regional battle?

Overness:

I've reached F popularity in the Great Lakes despite running a product which favours popularity over performance.

 

Profit:

I've got a huge roster, with five managers, but am losing only about a hundred bucks a month (after making massive money for a few months with a smaller roster) because I'm hiring people who are cheap and good backstage rather than caring about whether they're talented. (90% backstage rating!) I made an overall profit of $12,108.

 

Relationships:

Chloe Dean is dating Nigel Svensson, Ant Man is loyal to Mallory Landry, Kid San Juan is friendly with Mercutio Sleep, and Mallory Landry is friendly with Paradigm.

Best matches:

Ernest Youngman vs Nigel Svensson (4 times - 3 D's, 1 D-)

Ernest Youngman over Remmy Honeyman (2 times - 1 D, 1 D-)

Island Boy Apollo over Ernest Youngman (D-)

Ernest Youngman over Mercutio Sleep (D-)

 

Yes, I have an MVP.

 

Inaugural Big Gold Champion: Ernest Youngman (Surprised?!)

 

Positive chemistry so far:

Tags include Buzz Reid/Austin Smooth, Bradley Blaze/Ant-Man, Mallory Landry/Mercutio Sleep, Paranoia/Zak Attack. Zak Attack and Ant-Man also have pretty good chemistry with their managers, Haley Buck and Isabella Encanta respectively.

 

Dice roll at end of 2012:

Create a sibling - stats shown below. He's called El Principe.

What is your product? You seem to be doing quite well!

 

My product is:

 

Key: Traditional, Heavy: Realism, Medium: Mainstream

Low: Modern, Hardcore

 

Match Ratio is 80%, T&A is Low, Face/Heel Divide is On

Intensity is 60% and Danger is 15%

 

I think it helps that I'm based in Canada and these settings are "Medium Positive" for the trends in Canada at the start of the game (though I didn't know that until after I had started).

Year 1 - #37 and rolled for a +24 in Cool.</p><p> </p><p>

Things of note:</p><p>

Mainly got Malloy and Spillane for their tag experience and of course they have awful chemistry.</p><p>

Spillane also got caught with steroids...so he's been just swell.</p><p>

The Gambler is having some morale issues because I don't use him since I don't want to pay his appearance fee.</p><p> </p><p>

Since the beginning I have added Philipe Lagrenier, Matt Hocking, and most notably Spencer Spade. Spade is currently gaining momentum and will be my champion going forward, which our current champion Daredevil Aero does not like one bit!</p>

<p>I'm in November 2014 and haven't gone negative once either. It's not really that hard as long as you make smart signings and don't sign people you won't use on each show.</p><p> </p><p>

Almost 2 years in and XFW has $45k in the bank and turns about an $4k profit each month. We're also small, finally.</p>

Year 4 in the history books and it's definitely the year of Beast Bantom. Undefeated in 14 matches including a tournament victory at Ring Kings III, two of the matches of the year with Hiroshi Gakusha (both graded C-), and ends the year with possession of the NCW Championship. Beast's accomplishments have helped NCW to impressive growth both financially and in terms of popularity (on the edge of E+ in home region). Meanwhile, user character Russell T. Glory seems to have stalled in performance and entertainment skills, though exposure to a wider variety of workers during his title reign has given his in-ring ability a bit more depth.
