Zergon Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Warning long post ahead! It´s little bit early to start this one with just the beta out (It will likely take a 2 - 3 weeks from now before the first show come out) but since I need your help to get started I figured I post this one early so that I have better idea about what I´m working with. This will be another one of my diary attempts and this time I´m planning to do something that I have wanted to do ever since I got TEW but have never succeeded. Namely start with local company and bring it all the way to global. Now frankly I doubt I will ever get there (getting to cult would already be considered as success) but since I have hard time keeping none diary games going I figured that this is my best chance to get it done. Now, this won´t be proper 0/0/0/0 game simply because I plan to give myself 1 million on starting money but popularity etc. will start at 0. The reason why I plan to give myself that much starting money is partly to give me little bit more freedom to book at local, partly to hopefully lessen the time I have to spend before I can get to cult or above (assuming I get that far) and partly to help me in the (very likely) case that I screw up at some point. However the main reason for that starting cash it´s because I plan to let you pick not only my starting roster but every active wrestler that I can sign during this diary (more on that a little bit later). The main reason for this is that I like working with limited pool as it forces me to use guys that I wouldn´t normally use and hopefully that would make this diary more interesting to read as well since there would be decent chance to see guys who seldom gets time in other diaries. This approach might eventually conflict with my main goal of getting global (depends about who will be picked) so I reserve a right to change this approach if it proves necessarily but hopefully that won´t be needed. The company that I will play will be Eternal Studios of Entertainment (No doubt familiar name for those who had followed some of my earlier diaries). The promotion and its logo and two of the belts I will be using are from GDSVerse (Kamchatka has made the logo while ReapeR have made two of the belts, both logo and the belts can be found in TEW 2008 mods area) and the third belt (Prince Of Studios) is made by Belton. The promotion will be equal popularity/performance since that´s the type of promotion I like to play with and it will be based in USA. I will be using Grand Avatar with every skill set to 5 at the start. And all preferences etc. are default with the exception of Kenny Death´s that are turned off. I will likely choose Great Lakes as my starting area since there isn´t another promotion in that area at the start. My hope is to avoid regional battles early on but since I still have no idea which region would be best for this while also offer decent change to grown I pretty much choose this one as random and hope for the best. If any of you have better idea about where I should start then feel free to suggest those and I might still change this one (needs to be in USA though). Here are the promotion production definitions: Mainstream and Traditional are Key Features Modern is Medium Hardcore, Lucha Libre and Comedy are Low Everything else are None 80 % match percentage, no Women division or T&A but face/heel divide is on. Match intensity is 20% and Match Danger is 40% Right, now that we got that out of the way, we can move to the main reason why I´m posting this now instead of later date and that´s the starting roster. I have actually wanted to try something similar earlier but figured that I wouldn´t have enough regular readers to make it work. I plan to have 16 active wrestlers and so I ask you all to pick two guys that you would like me to sign. Whoever posts here first gets the first dip so first eight posters will get the make their picks. I chose two for each since getting 16 persons to post here before the first show would be quite unlikely (8 is stretching the limits already but if I can´t get eight then I either pick the rest of the guys myself or let those who have already picked guys pick a third or even fourth guy ) but also because it´s allows people to pick tag teams too as I fear that I wouldn´t get any otherwise. Each wrestler picked will get a 1 year contract and I will try my best to keep them for that period. After the first year, I can do whatever I want with them, some will be staying but some will be out, it depends on circumstances. That takes care of the starting roster but I also need to get new blood during this diary so let´s tackle that one next. I plan to include a pool of wrestler were I will be picking all my future signings. The pool is empty at start and it will be filled via prediction competition. Also every active wrestler that leaves from ESE (for whatever reason) will automatically go back to the pool so that I can sign them again later on if it suits me. There will be prediction competition like in my earlier diaries and it´s mostly the same than before. The competition will go for one year in the game time (at the start of the diary this will mean 13 shows since I run special show in December alongside the regular one). The winner of the contest will get to pick a guy that I must try to sign. I try to keep the guy that is picked this way for 2 years, after that time he´s just like any other guy in my roster and can be let go if I choose to do so. 2nd and 3rd place predictors are able to pick two guys that go into the wrestler pool were I can sign them if I want to. Now, please notice that I won´t be using all the guys that go into pool so it´s entirely possible that you pick two guys and I never use either one during this diary. Of course it´s also possible that I will be using both guys that you picked so it´s little bit more of the high risk, high reward situation while 1st place guy will be sure that he´s pick is used for certain amount of time. 2nd and 3rd place guys can also pick guys who are currently unavailable to me (have written contracts etc.). This is because those guys could become available later on. Winner has to pick guy that is available at the time simply because I like to get the guy in question signed as soon as possible. Also to avoid the similar situation that happened in my last diary, if one guy wins prediction contest two years on a row then on second time first and second place prizes swap places (so winner pick two guys for the pool, while 2nd best gets to pick one guy that I must sign). I will give a list of wrestlers that are available for me (see below), but basically any active male wrestler that is counted as An Unknown (in USA, seems to be somewhere between F- to E- overness) will be available from the start, once I get to small, everyone up to Regional Level will be available, at regional everyone up to Regional Star will be available. Not sure how to continue from there but at national, likely everyone will be available so the only question is who are available at the cult (I try to get it around B- overness but I haven’t had time to check were that limit goes). Please note that this only includes active or semi-active male wrestlers as I don´t like intergraded division idea and there is no women division (that might change at some point though). Also just because someone is on the list I provide doesn´t automatically mean that he will be signed. That depends on his demands as I won´t be giving title run promises easily and I´m not willing to throw huge amounts of cash to single guy either simply because that would eventually push everyone´s pay demands up. That said I try my best to sign whoever you want me to sign so hopefully there won´t be too many situations like this, just something I felt I should point out to avoid confusion later on. Oh, and you can give me a list of more than two guys if you want (either if you can´t narrow it down to just two or want to have back-up plan if you are unsure about whatever guy that you want is actually willing to sign a contract with local company), in that case I will pick whoever fits best to my plans unless there is a specified order given. I think that covers everything for now, here is a shorter version of the rules I stated above: - Everyone (first 8 who post here) pick two guys from the list below. I will sign them for a 1 year contract. - Prediction contest will run for 1 year in game time (13 shows). - Winner of the prediction contest can pick a guy from the list I gave that I must try to sign and keep for at least two years. - 2nd and 3rd places guys can pick two wrestlers that go to wrestler pool. - I cannot sign any wrestlers outside of the ones you picked. - If one person wins the prediction contest twice on a row then in second time first and second place prizes swap places. - If you want you can give me more than 2 guys on your list, if so I will be picking who I see as best option for me unless there is a specific order given at the same post. - 1 Million starting cash. Popularity, momentum and prestige will be 0. - My main goal is to reach global and I reserve the right to change the rules if it proves necessarily. If anyone has any successions about the rules, prediction prizes etc. feel free to state them up and I will take them into consideration. List of available wrestlers (I include the promotions that the guys are currently working. In future I will also add if the guy in question has written or development contract but this time I just leave them out from the list as that obviously means that they can´t be signed on starting roster): Unknowns: Ace Youngblood (MAW) Aces High (GSW) Acid II Alan Parent Alistair Shufflebottom (ACPW) Amazing Firefly American Elemental (WLW) Amo Del Gato (OLLIE) Anders Thunder Andrew Harper (NYCW) Angel Del Mexico (MPFW) Animal Harper (NYCW) Ant-Man (ACPW) Aprendiz Jr. (EMLL) Arthur Dexter Bradley Babau (IPW) Barry Kingman (GCG) Ben Williams Blockbuster (CGC) Bob Casey Bradley Blaze Brendan Idol Brimstone Brutus Milano (RIPW) Buck Graham Bull Wrecker (WEXXV) Busta Capp (GSW) Buzz Reid Cal Sanders Cali Slick (GSW) Cameron Jones (MAW) Canadian Crusher Carlos Barrera (CZCW) Carlos Gonzalez (FCW) Cerberus Cheech Kong (GSW) Cheetah Boy Chess Maniac (MPFW) Chris Flynn (4C) Chucky Dorrance Cip Conduit Clutch McKane (4C) Copperhead (MAW) Cowboy Buck Winchester (RIPW) Crash Lewis Crusher Von Steinberg Curtis Jenkins Dagger (ACPW) Daredevil Aero (EMLL) Davie Renluenn Davis Wayne Newton (4C) Deathly Deadshot (IPW) Deaf Touch (GSW) DeCipher (EMLL) Dermot O´Logical Dermot Ayres (ACPW) Devastating Don Devyn Retribution (GSW) Diamante Negro (CILL) Dirty Frank Disturbed (OLLIE) Donte Dunn (CGC) Dragon Americano (OLLIE) Dragon Del Arco Iris Jr. (CILL) Drop Kix (GSW) Edward Cornell (21CW) El Diablo (ACPW) El Ladron El Medico El Mitico Jr. El Sultan (CILL) Elijah Harris Eric Blackley (4C) Ernest Youngman E-Soteric (IPW) Evil Spirit Extraordinario Jr. (OLLIE) Extreme Deluxe E-Z (GSW) Fearless Blue Frankie Dee (4C) Frankie-Boy Hernandez (CZCW) Geoff Bourne (NYCW) George Wolfe (MAW) Giant Brody Gram Gorman Gravedigga (GSW) Greg Gauge (GCG) Grimm Quibble (ACPW) Happy Elwood Hardcore Killah Hell Monkey (WLW) Hellech (IPW) High Flying Hawaiian Hijo Del Aguila Americana (EMLL) Howlin’ Mad Mort (NYCW) Hudson Drake (4C) Hugh De Aske (4C) Hustle Muvva (IPW) Irwin Gutmann Island Boy Apollo (FCW) Jacob Jett (4C) Jamie Atherton (ACPW) Jason Thunder (4C) Jay Becker (ACPW) Jayson Van Pelt (ACPW) Jazz Funk Jebediah (RIPW) Jerry Martin Jesse Gilbert (4C) Joe Gilbert (4C) Joffy Laine JOJI Jon Jetson Josh Jones Joss Thompson (21CW) Kamikaze (ACPW) KC Glenn Keith Vegas (MAW) Kentucky Bill (RIPW) Kid San Juan (FCW) Kip Keenan (IPW) Kirk Drury K-Squared La Sombra Jr. (OLLIE) LatiNoFear (GSW) Leftie Wilkes (4C) Leo Davis Leopard King Lightning Lomas (4C) Lion Heart Lug Phelan (IPW) Mad Dog Mortimer Magwitch Malik Cash (ACPW) Marc Raisin (ACPW) Mario Da Silva (ACPW) Mark Smart Marvel Malloy Melvin Otto Mercutio Sleep Mercy Michaels MexiCain (GSW) Miguel Rivera (CZCW) Miller Fforte (MAW) Mimic (ACPW) Mobstar (GSW) Monty Trescarde (NYCW) Morgan Malone (4C) Moroi (IPW) Mr. Lucha III (OLLIE) Murderous Mickey Nathaniel Ca$ino (4C) New York Red Nigel Svensson Nomad Oscar Ozymandias (RIPW) Outlaw Wes Revell Panda Mask II (WLW) Paradigm Paradox Paranoia Penfold Perdition Philippe LaGrenier Phobia Pierrot (IPW) Powerful Man Prometheus (CGC) Pyromaniac (EMLL) Quentin Queen Rafael Ruiz (OLLIE) Rajah (4C) Raphael (RIPW) Ray Snow (IPW) Reggie Bishop Regular Joe Remmy Honeyman Rex Reeves Rhino Umaga (GCG) Richie Riggins (RIPW) Ricky Turner Ricochet Ramone Riley McManus Rob Reynolds (FCW) Robbie Wright (MAW) Rockin’ Ryan Turner (RIPW) Roger Monteiro Rolling Johnny Stones (21UK) Romeo Romaro Ron Greenhorn Samoan Machine (GCG) Sanchez Villano (GSW) Sayeed Ali (4C) Silver Tiger (OLLIE) Simon Ice Skip Beau (CGC) Sky King (ACPW) Slayyer (MPWF) Slim V Solar II (EX2010) Sozen Ishinomori (GCG) Spanish Superfly (MPWF) Spike (NYCW) Stan Manna (RIPW) Stanley Axis (IPW) Steel Sterling Whitlock Storm Spillane Strongman (SOTBPW) Stuart Ferdinand (GCG) Syd Collier (MAW) Taylor Kidd Tempest Appleby Tennessee Williams (NYCW) Tex Tagan The Architect (MAW) The Pilgrim The Silencer The Tic (WLW) Thomas Morgan Tigre Salvaje Jr. (CILL) TJ Bailey (4C) Too Hot (4C) Top Dolla (GSW) Topher Smith (ACPW) Toronto Zombie Trauma UK Dragon (WLW) Waylon Walls (CZCW) Weird Waldo Odlaw Vendetta (PSW) Whisky Jack Whitehorse Whittaker (NYCW) Vikki Victoria Vincente Romero Xavier Reckless (PSW) Zachary Inc.

Zergon Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 I made a test signings (rock hard settings though so I had better popularity than I will have for the real one) and everyone expect Amo Del Gato was willing to sign a contract. Gato turned me down instantly saying that I wasn´t big enough for him so <strong>BHK1978</strong>, you might want to have insuarence guy picked so that I can sigh him instead in case that Gato turns me down in the real game too.

Zergon Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 How about Jayson Van Pelt. Van Pelt is willing to sign so he will be the back-up plan if/when Gato rejects me in the actual game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergon Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Roster Rewiew: At first look I seem to have pretty good roster for a local company. An interesting one too especially since it includes guys like DWN, Jacob Jett and KC Glenn who are all really talented but who are also in danger to leave me pretty quickly since one of the bigger companies will likely sign at least one of them on written at some point. This also sets an interesting dilemma to me. Should I push those three on top and milk good ratings as long as I can or should I build my other guys like Ant-Man, Brendal Idol, Jayson Van Pelt and Regular Joe in order to have decent main event scene if the worst happen? Likely I will have a mix of those two approaches as Glenn, DWN and Jett are just too talented not to be used in the main event scene but on the same time I don´t plan to build my entire promotion around those three. Naturally most of the guys in my roster are unknowns which makes it harder to evaluate anyone thanks to fog of war but then again, I have always been lazy when it comes about checking stats so I don´t mind finding out how good they are by actually booking the guys and besides I know most of them from TEW 2010 anyway so I have some idea about their skills. Overness is pretty none existent right now with Brendal Idol (E-), Regular Joe (F+) and Mad Dog Mortimer (F) being the only guys above F-. Because of this the current push levels doesn´t mean much so just because you see Mad Dog or Paranoia on the main event list doesn´t mean they actually are there. I just decided to list them on the order of their current pushes since that´s the way I will be using in the future. Main Event: http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4683/antmanz.jpg Ant-Man Age: 23 Heel, Raging Bull Ant-Man never fully convinced me in my FCW diary but he gets another change here and at least for now I consider him as one of my main event guys. He only has average in-ring and performance skills according to current scouting level but Physical and Entertainment abilities should be strong and especially the entertainment skills will be valuable since most other guys from my roster are average at best on that. http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/2306/brendanidol.jpg Brendal Idol Age: 32 Face, Fan Favorite Idol is one of the few guys who´s skills I can actually mostly see and though it´s little hard to compere, he looks like one of the better guys with Good Performance and Aerial skills combined with average mic skills. Overall I expect Idol to be one of my top stars and hopefully he will stay for some time. http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/3851/maddogmortimer.jpg Mad Dog Mortimer Age: 35 Face, Hillbilly No, he´s not a main eventer despite currently auto-pushing to that position. Mortimer has poor in-ring skills combined with less than brilliant microphone work and weak stamina are likely going to keep him at the lower end of the roster. http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/2516/paranoiay.jpg Paranoia Age: 21 Face, Fan´s Own This will pretty much be the last time you see Paranoia anywhere close to main event scene or that at least is my initial impression. That said he does seem to be average in everything but I will wait for further scouting information before making any decisions based on his current stats. At the start Paranoia will be a jobber as he is little bit bland and I have quite many guys on that category with Remmy Honeyman, Regular Joe and Josh Jones all fitting to bland guy image (and all of them should be more skilled too although this opinion is based more on TEW2010 than the current game). http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/8885/regularjoe.jpg Regular Joe Age: 25 Face, Blue Collar Joe has F+ overness and that does kind of make him as main eventer at least for now. Most likely Joe will slightly drop in standings once the diary progress as right now I have midcard tag team spot on my mind with Joe. I have plans to team Joe up with Josh Jones as they both little bit bland guys who have good/decent in-ring skills. Joe´s future will likely depend on how long I´m able to keep DWN, Jett and Glenn in my roster. If they leave early then I need to find other guys to fill their spot and Joe would be the first choice (remember that I cannot hire any new guys until end of the year and even then only those that you pick so any replacement has to come with-in the company or via prediction contest). If those three stay then I believe that Joe will be slightly outside the main event scene but even if that happens, Joe could still play important part as one of the backbones on my tag division. Upper Midcard: http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/3696/cerberusx.jpg Cerberus Age: 26 Heel, Biker Meet my newest monster heel. I have read that menace + brute aren´t nearly as effective in TEW2013 than what it was in TEW2010 so Cerberus also gets the “honor” of being my test subject on that matter. Regardless, Cerberus won´t be the nearly unstable monster type guy. Instead he´s more of a midcard monster heel who likely will have about equal number of wins and losses during a year. I do have storyline planned for him so he does get a chance in the spotlight early but most likely he will be midcard guy until he develops or until I get better idea about his ratings and skills. http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/1629/benwilliamsalt3.jpg Cowboy Ben Williams Age: 26 Heel, Cowboy Sorry Fox but I decided not to use that scarecrow alt as it really only fits to comedy character and I don´t really use those. Ben will be a jobber since that´s where he is good at but he will also be part of one of my two initial tag teams as I decided to pair him up with Outlaw Wes Revell and if that pairing stays together they might eventually rise to midcard role, but that remains to be seen. Ben would be better as face but I wanted him as heel so that I can have one heel tag team too. http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6573/daviswaynenewton2.jpg David Wayne Newton Age: 25 Heel, Cocky Youth Obviously one of my better guys and will be a star. The main question is will he be a star here or will some bigger company steal him soon? Those of you that have read my previous diaries have likely noted that I tend to be rather skeptical when it comes to top talents and I frequently under use them simply because I´m too scared to push them in fear of losing them just after I invested on them. That said Newton will have a big role to play and will be in the main event scene from the start. http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/4003/evilspirit.jpg Evil Spirit Age: 28 Heel, Evil Doer Spirit has strong overall performance skills with decent ratings everywhere else and that would make him a solid addition to my roster. However he´s also double negative for my backstage atmosphere since he only speaks Japanese (and no one else doesn´t) and has negative presence too so if my backstage ratings starts to fall he would be the first cut and that might restrict his push eventually. Right now I rate Spirit as midcard guy but if he manages to avoid getting cut because he´s negative backstage attitude he might eventually rise higher too as he´s character would be quite easy to write. http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/5565/outlawwesrevell.jpg Outlaw Wes Revell Age: 21 Heel, Cowboy Unlike most of the other guys in my starting roster Revell is totally new guy (at least for me not sure if he actually was in TEW 2010 or not) and because of that I have no real idea about his skills. The current scouting tells me that he´s average everywhere and with guys like Paranoia getting same rating I´m not expecting much. Still, I hope that Revell will prove useful in some form and on that end I put him into team with Ben so that they can at least be a jobber team until I figure out if Revell has skills to be higher or not. Midcard: http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/8796/jacobjett.jpg Jacob Jett Age: 26 Heel, Big League Star Jett is absolutely one of the most talented guys in my roster and he is considered one of the main guys as well. However you already know what is the problem I have with him so I won´t repeat it here. Expect Jett to be in the main event scene from the start but he won´t be getting any special treatment and thus will likely have his share of losses during the year. http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/7710/kcglenn.jpg KC Glenn Age: 21 Face, Old School Face Everything I have said about Jett and DWN goes for Glenn too so he will have main event spot as long as he stays. http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/2738/joshjones.jpg Josh Jones Age: 24 Face, Blue Collar Josh Jones is another guy who I used in my last diary and thus I know him better than most of the other guys in my roster. Looking at his stats he only has average in-ring and performance skills and that makes me question if he´s stats has been lowered since TEW2010. Only time will tell but I expect Josh to be midcard mainstay and hopefully his tag team with Joe will one day be the backbone of my tag division. http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6958/remmyhoneyman.jpg Remmy Honeyman Age: 25 Face, Man On A Mission Remmy seems to have strong in-ring skills but weak entertainment skills so he is little bit of a mixed-pack. I would have liked to have Remmy as heel instead of face since on the face side there already is Regular Joe and Josh Jones who both are similar to Remmy but in the end I needed to move one of my heels to face side in order to have parity and Remmy was the most logical choice. Overall Remmy should be solid addition to my roster but right now he´s likely going to stay at the midcard without much hope on getting further up on the card. http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/267/zacharyinc.jpg Zachary Inc. Age: 26 Heel, Bad Ass Current scouting says that Zachary is average anywhere but I know based on the bio (and TEW2010) that he has horrible stamina and while I might accept that on heavyweight guys, Zachary is lightweight and on my books that just won´t do especially since he isn´t anything special anywhere else either. Expect Zachary to be a jobber for now and one of the more likely guys to let go once roster shake-ups start to happen. Lower Midcard: http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/3930/jaysonvanpelthhj.jpg Jayson Van Pelt Age: 24 Face, Rebel Amo Del Gato did turn me down so Van Pelt gets the job instead. Van Pelt looks like a solid guy and despite his current position he is considered as one my main eventers and alongside Idol and Ant-Man he´s the one who I´m looking to carry my company if/when the more talented trio of DWN, Glenn and Jett leaves. Tag Teams: Blue Collars (Regular Joe & Josh Jones) Modern Day Outlaws (Cowboy Ben Williams & Outlaw Wes Revell) Non-wrestlers: announcer: http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2902/haran.jpg Dane O´Hara Age: 38 O´Hara is another one of those who I used in my FCW diary and that´s pretty much why I picked him here too as I knew he would be good enough to handle announcing duties. Like everyone else on this none wrestler section he´s unemployed at the start and that´s another reason to signing him instead of someone with slightly better skills (I don´t want any schedule conflicts for my none-wrestler). referee: http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/5034/davidpoker.jpg David Poker Age: 33 For none wrestlers I wanted to find guys that I know can get the job done but who would still work for reasonable cheap prize. Fog of War made this lots harder than in earlier games and on referees I eventually decided to pick Poker as he has quite high referee skills © but isn´t particularly popular and is somewhat cheap to sign because of that. Overall I find out that the payment that none-wrestlers ask has gone slightly up as I couldn´t find anyone who would be decent enough to not get penalties and still have been willing to sign with less than 500$ per show. Color Commentator: http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2508/macsmith.jpg Mac Smith Age: 25 I just said that I wanted to pick guys who I know can get the job done so obviously my next pick is going to be guy who I know absolutely nothing about and who´s ratings are a mystery too . To be honest I´m not entire sure what makes good color commentator anyway (Charisma played a part if I remember right) so I figured I might as well make a less sure pick here. Smith was mainly picked because of he is positive backstage influence and you can never have too many of those. Time will tell if he´s actually any good in his actual job. road agend/ authority figure http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/673/rogerrogers.jpg Roger Rogers Age: 55 Rogers wasn´t my first pick on road agent job but everyone else that I tried to sign wanted over 1000$ per appearance and that´s simply too much for a local promotion so I picked Rogers instead. He will also combine as authority figure at least for now. Titles: (There will be just one title at the start but I plan to include at least tag titles and midcard singles belt later on). http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/7738/esekingofthenetwork.jpg Current Holder: Vacant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergon Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Note: ESE Eternal Battle will be monthly show. This is mainly because I suck at naming events so trying to figure twelve different event names just wasn´t appealing to me. There will be special show in December (more on that little bit alter) so the number of the shows in one year will be 13. Like I already had said, there will be a prediction contest and three best predictors get a prize at the end of the year. You can check the prizes in my first post. http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/5061/ese1.jpg In the first ever ESE Eternal Battle show we will kick of King of the Network tournament that will determinate our fist King of the Network champion. This month´s show features half of the first round matches. The pairings are Cerberus versus KC Glenn, Davis Wayne Newton versus Remmy Honeyman, Evil Spirit versus Paranoia and Jayson Van Pelt versus Zachary Inc. Winners will advance on the second round of the tournament while losers will be eliminated from tournament. Who will become the first ever Network champion? Predictions: 1 vs. 1 King of Network tournament 1st round Jayson Van Pelt vs. Zachary Inc 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round Evil Spirit vs. Paranoia 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round Davis Wayne Newton vs. Remmy Honeyman 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round Cerberus vs. KC Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 1 vs. 1 King of Network tournament 1st round Jayson Van Pelt vs. Zachary Inc - Van Pelt rocks, Inc sucks. 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round Evil Spirit vs. Paranoia - You can either push the guy with a great gimmick who's lousy backstage and doesn't fit in because of the language barrier, or you can get on board the Paratrooper Express. "Let's Go NOIA!" 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round Davis Wayne Newton vs. Remmy Honeyman - Two great guys. Remmy will last longer with you. 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round Cerberus vs. KC Glenn - If you're trying to build a monster heel, he needs to get to at least the semis.

Evil Spirit edges it for now. 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round Davis Wayne Newton vs. Remmy Honeyman Both are pretty boring ...

I never have to think again True, I totally forgot that Suggest a Name button existed. Still, I keep the same name for every show, if nothing else it saves me time since I don´t need to check what the next show was called again and again like I had to do in my FCW diary.

Basically tournament will be single elimination tournament where winners advance to next round. First round matches will be run tonight and in February´s show, second round matches will happen in March and semi-final matches will be the main events in April´s and May´s show while the finals will be seen in June. (Roger Rogers was supposed to be here but for some reason I couldn´t pick him on angles despite the fact that he´s available. I guess that kills the idea of him being my authority figure).

Still once the match progress Paranoia gets more and more into it and for a little while it looked like he could get the win but then Evil Spirit took control again and hit Paranoia via Death Calm Drop II to pick up the victory and advancing to second round where he will be facing Jayson Van Pelt.</p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">WINNER: Evil Spirit by pinfall in 6:24 F+</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> 1 vs. 1 King of the Network tournament 1st round</strong></p><p> <span>http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6573/daviswaynenewton2.jpg</span> vs. <span>http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/6958/remmyhoneyman.jpg</span></p><p> Davis Wayne Newton vs. Remmy Honeyman</p><p> </p><p> Easily the best match of a night here as Newton played the cocky heel who doesn´t take his opponent seriously and Remmy quickly capitalized on that taking control of the early portion of the match. Still Newton did get more into game once he started to take Remmy seriously but it still took him over twelve minutes before he finally managed to put Remmy down via Fisherman´s Suplex.</p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">WINNER: Davis Wayne Newton by pinfall in 12:18 D-</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> ANGLE:</p><p> <span>http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/6573/daviswaynenewton2.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> DWN didn´t seem to be worried about the tough opposition that he just got from Honeyman as after the match he arrogantly declares that audience has just seen the best wrestler that ESE has and that there is no way that anyone else than him could win the King of the Network tournament.

It seemed to be only a matter of time until Cerberus picked the victory but then out of the blue Glenn managed to make a flash pin and keep his opponents shoulders down for a three count before quickly bailing out of the ring to celebrate his victory.</p><p> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">WINNER: KC Glenn by pinfall in 8:29 E-</span></p><p> </p><p> Show Rating: E</p><p> </p><p> Comments: Hmm, quite a mixed bag. Roger Rogers did poorly as a road agent so I need to find a new one. Main event bombed as I was expecting more from Glenn but Rogers has some blame to take on that too. Newton and Honeyman had great match and I made sure to compliment them on my past show speech, too bad that I didn´t pick it as the main event like I should had. Still I did get good enough rating for my popularity to rise and both tag teams that I wanted to have had neutral chemistry so it could have been worse. Rogers being bad road agent sucks though as I´m paying him 530$ per appearance for two years. Of course I could just kick him out but I don´t like to do that. Perhaps I can use him as manager or maybe put him as authority figure and let someone else do the road agent job. Also domination note clearly doesn´t work the same way as before. I used two domination notes and Idol actually lost two points of overness while Van Pelt didn´t get any overness in his match. Guess I won´t be using that note much. Remmy didn´t gain any overness either despite his great match so it seems it will be little harder to gather overness in this game compered to TEW 2010. KC Glenn signed a touring contract with BHOTWG but luckily they don´t hold shows in Sundays so I should be able to book him normally.</p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zergon Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 <p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p>Predictions: <em>First few rounds in any diary are usually hard to predict because readers don´t yet have a good idea who is getting pushed and that proved to be the case here as everyone expect Zachary Inc got some support. DWN and Glenn are simply so talented that they had to get into second round. Honeyman is talented too but he´s poor microphone skills put him step below top guys in my mind. I have to admit that his great match with DWN did rise Remmy´s stock in my eyes though. Jaded make a good point about Cerberus needing to get into second round but I have storyline in mind with him and that required him to lose early in the tournament since I wanted to get at least one storyline running ASAP. Jayson Van Pelt is another talented guy and I´m currently looking him as one of my top guys while Zachary is seen as a jobber so Van Pelt advanced from that pair. Finally Evil Spirit got the fourth spot on second round simplyh since I needed another heel to advance and while I´m unsure about keeping him long terms because his poor backstage influence he´s still skilled enough to warrant a win here and there. Unfortunately for Paranoia, he´s going to be a jobber for a while at least since I have other guys I want to push more. </em></p><p> </p><p> Jingo 3/4</p><p> BHK1978 2/4</p><p> Jaded 1/4</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/5061/ese1.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> This month´s Eternal Battle show offers the second patch of first round matches when Outlaw Wes Revell faces Brendal Idol, Mad Dog Mortimer will face off with Ant-Man, Cowboy Ben Williams will go one-on-one against Regular Joe and in our main event Jacob Jett and Josh Jones will clash with each other´s to determinate the last man that gets into second round.
