Booking USPW

Should I develop his current one against Bulldozer Smith? Turn Justice and build a huge never-seen-before clash? Have another go at Nicky vs Baine? Or anyone else on the roster? Bear in mind his chemistry against big men. It’s time to bring back the Sneer Corporation. Who should be in it? Primus? Bear Bekowski and Finlay? Gorgon and Killer Kass? T-rex? The Cold Warriors? The women’s division is a bit stalled. How do I get it going? I’d like Swoop to be a focus this year. Do I keep him feuding with Enygma? How could this be expanded? Who else would be a good opponent?</div></blockquote> I love roster posts like this one, as I´m always interted to hear who other people use and how. As for the questions, you likely know by now that I´m not particularly creative person but here´s my take. Since you plan to put Sneer Corporation together, wouldn´t Nicky be good foil for them, espesially if he had some run-ins with them with their earlier version, which giving the starting position in USPW, is pretty likely. There obviously plenty of ways, how to build Sneer Corporation, but here´s my take. Please note that I´m not completely sure about pushes etc. so this one might not work all too well in reality. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <div style="margin-left:25px;">- First of all I would have Parker Stevens (I assume he´s Steven Parker, right?) being the main guy assuming he has the overness to do so, since you said he´s struggling a bit on his own. You could either run this one as equal partnership of two masterminds trying to take control or simply have one hiring the other. I would go with equal partnership, unless you have plans to turn Parker, in which case I would have Parker hire Sneer as he´s manager, only for Sneer to eventually take control of the group and throwing Parker out. </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> - Next on the line would be the enforcer and I would go with Primus as I see him as perfect bodyguard type for the masterminds like Sneer/Parker. He would also be a big guy who should work well with Champion.</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> - Then all there is needed is a tag team to add a bit manpower and I would go Bulldozer Smith and Nash (and whoever is in their group). They would play the role of hired thugs (though Bulldozer could also be ally instead of hired gun if you want to give him role equal to Sneer/Parker) who help the main guys via assaults and beatdowns and Bulldozer could well take the top spot on the group if Parker fails to deliver (Or if Parker isn´t over enough to be the top in-ring guy).</div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div> - I´m no good at booking women division so I don´t have much help on that one other than the generic idea of either turning one of the top girls or bringing some new face in. - As for Swoop, I would keep him feuding with Enygma for little while longer. Other than that, well you likely need multiple faces to fight against Sneer Corporation regardless of who´s in it, so maybe Swoop could take a top face spot in that feud, if you don´t choose to use Nicky in that feud. Then there´s also Baine so maybe Swoop could be the one who finally stops the monster?

Alright, Now for the what should be the finale,unless I list my stables and tag teams, of my USPW roster overview. First things first the major changes since the last post. Nothing terribly major this time.

RELEASED:

Comrade Red-Red face painted random gen that had a star quality of 90 that initially caught my eye but hasn't really developed like I had hoped, let him go and hopefully he can improve and be brought in later.

UP FROM DEVELOPMENT:

Cyber Cat(random gen) - tired of the complaining, he's average to good skillwise, so we'll slap him in a jobber tag team with Bradley Blaze for a while and see how they both develop from there.

Bradley Blaze - see Cyber Cat

Krudge the Executioner - A European import and menacing guy, I may toss him into a team with T-Rex as Rexie isn't doing much of anything lately and it may help Krudge a bit.

US Storm - American masked random gen that I grabbed and lapped into Development. Not a horrible worker, but not top teir far either. Currently in a tag team with a recently hired Masked Patriot. Tempted to rename him Captain USA II.

That done, now it's time to delve into the women's division of USPW. I maaaaaay have gone ever so slightly overboard in my hiring for this division and will cut back some. That said, Forward!

Agent 69 - alter ego of Zoe Ammis, Zoe here holds down dual work as the Soviet stable's resident women's wrestler and acts as ringside distraction/manager/valet for some of the others that have bad chemistry with Comrade Ivan their 'leader'/manager.

Alicia Strong - Has taken a slight step to the side and out of the spotlight to a degree thanks to some of the other ladies I have brought in. A heel turn to coincide with Nicky's is looking highly likely in the future. Currently in a team with Simony Sentinel.

Ariel Breaks - Great Psychology and Flashiness means Ariel here will be someone I hold onto long term. Protege of Melody. At only 20 years old she'll be here a long while if I'm lucky.

Belle Bryden - a USPW standard, Belle has kinda spun her wheels a bit outside of her tag team with Tiffany Jade, but I'd be crazy to let this lady go.

Brooke Tyler - Brooke here is a slight disappointment for me so far as her rather low Psychology hasn't budged since I took over and hired her, this with regular matches as well. It's limited my outlook on an otherwise talented worker. Disappointing.

Carol Russell- A worker from our training ground and development, has outstanding athleticism (94) and great Star Quality(84), but unless she shows me something I might have to let her walk when Negotiations come around. On the bubble.

Charity Sweet - one of the first workers I hired. Sweet has been steadily climbing in her stats since being acquired, though Like Brook Tyler her Psychology score is worryingly low (40) and has yet to budge. I still have highish hopes for Ms. Sweet.

Chere Martin - a European import, this french lady is here to help the others get better in there performance stats having some great basics (94) Selling (92), and Safety(97). Low Psy (50) and horribly Consistency (32) means she's more a trainer/jobber than anything else.

Cherry Bomb - quite possibly my favorite C-verse Women's wrestler. Cherry here is on time decline which saddens me greatly, but her high entertainment skills mean she can easily transition to a manager role when her career is over.

Eve Grunge - Solid performance stats and good technical skills means Ms. Grunge was another hire of mine. Kind of gotten lost in the shuffle somewhat, unfortunately.

Frost - AKA Nadia Snow , Frost is currently feuding with J-ro for the women's strap and I can hope this feud only sends her popularity to even footing with the likes of our most popular ladies: Raven, Alicia, and J-Ro. Another favorite of mine due to the alt picture with the ice blue highlights in her hair.

Grace Harper - In the same boat as Eve Grunge, brought in because of her good to great performance stats and tech skills only to get lost in the shuffle of other things. I really need to correct that.. grrr..

Jamie Quine - currently a low women on the division totem pole, as a more recent hire, I can see Jamie as one of our mainstays eventually. She'll get there, it's just a matter of time and me not forgetting.

J-Ro - currently our women's champ and our most popular women's wrestler (66-67). She's been solid for me since I hired her. A feud with Alicia is an obvious one and it may be on the horizon soon.

Maria Guest - random Gen (I think) with overall solid stats but nothing that makes me say 'wow', solid and reliable.

Melody - another one who's kind of gotten lost in the shuffle, Teams with Maria in a tag team due to chemistry.

Miss Sara - SMY is someone that if I have a women's division I always hire, she's just that good and I fully intend to keep her around.

Raku Makuda - import from Japan, good skills and currently doing an off and on 'stalker with a crush' thing with Steven Parker.

Raven Nightfall - our second most popular women's worker and leader of the stable Darkness Rising with Damien and Grimm. Normally Raven is one I typically don't know what to do with, but this stable has given her new life in my eyes and she is becoming one of my favorites because of it. Her matches with J-Ro typically scored in the 80s as well.

Rita Combs - a more recent USPW dojo graduate with great basics (90), Selling (87), and Safety(80) currently treading water, but there may be plans in the works for her due to her skills.

Simony Sentinel - I will always hire this woman, why? Because of an alternate picture that makes her look like a purple haired Molly Holly and I was and still am a HUUUUUUUGE Molly Holly fan. Skill wise she is good in most areas but she's also only 20, so she's got room to improve a lot.

Tiffany Jade - despite her good skills, TJ here just hasn't grabbed me as anything special. On her way out soon as her contract has a month left.

And now we look at those in Development! Yay!

DEVELOPMENT WORKERS

Angel Aroma - 19 years old - Helen Earth regen. Decent to good Technical skills, average everything else. If she doesn't show steady improvement, she'll be let go.

Annihilus - Menacing Big man, Not great when it comes to skills, put him in here to see what becomes of him. You need more than menace in my USPW, dude.

Bill Whitehead - another high Menace worker (92) more talented than the previous guy, okayish skill wise for a super-heavyweight. Still needs work though.

Buddy Garner - the original developmental trainer along with Steve Flash.

Charlie Thatcher - I don't like CT, never have. He's here working on his Technical skills until his contract expires.

Clinton Scott - newest developmental arrival basics, safety, and Selling in the 90s already with 84 athletics and an 82 star quality. high hopes for this guy. Sucks as a face sadly.

Comissioner Doom - Doom is here supposedly as a trainer, in reality he's here until I have something better for him to do or his contract is up, whatever's first.

Domingo Molina - a 19 year old monster (98 menace), I have hopes he'll be something special but his averageish star quality (55) may end up limiting his growth. Nicely consistent for a newbie (90).

Heather Mitchell - another worker with good basics,selling,and safety. Good entertainment skills too, but not much else. 21 years old.

Hellion - Here's my prospect to eventually either replace Baine as USPW's top demon or join up with Darkness Rising to add to their dangerousness. Menacing (96),but so far only average in most everything else. High hopes here.

Lobster Warrior - it's a true shame that Lobby is on such time decline else he'd be on the main roster. As is he's sadly relegated to training our young guns.

Nighthawk - Australian import. I am SORELY tempted to name him 'James Force' and bill him as The Force's little brother. (The Force, btw runs the New Babes of Sin City promotion along with Giant Redwood.*boggle*)

Philip Roberts - Enforcer Roberts. Let go by SWF, brought in to USPW to train our guys. Also our Dojo head.

Regular Joe - Brought down here to freshen up his skills a bit. Was a jobber on the main roster before this.

Ronald Tufnel - Red face painted brawler with exceptional phyisical skills.

Samantha Martinez - excellent brawler (72) but not much else, here to see if she improves enough. Otherwise she's gone.

Shadow Mask - black masked worker that's rather average in just about all areas. Complaining to be brought up to main roster. I don't see much for this guy. Doubt he'll be retained.

Steve Flash - an always hire for me. This time he's a trainer.

That's the women and development workers of my USPW, now we take a look at the rest! Here are the non workers of the USPW World.

MANAGERS:

Brittany Hollywood - manager for CV2, was brought in for her charisma (83) but her mic skills have sadly topped out at 67-68. When her contract comes up, we'll say goodbye.

Comrade Ivan - once known as Randall Hopkirk. Was brought in as the 'leader' of the Soviet stable, annoyingly has horrible chemistry with half of them. Grrr.

Dharma Gregg - another always hire for me, though annoyingly she also has had her mic skills top out at around 68 or so. Though she has loyalty to me due to a soft drug issue which means she's here for life. I reward loyalty. :-p

Seduction - if she wasn't engaged to Darryl Devine, she'd be gone already. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Managing Mark Griffin

Shane Sneer - leader of The Sneer Corp and currently running a Napoleon gimmick as a majority of his stable are men much more intimidating and bigger than him. Big plans for the Sneer Corp in the future.

Sweet Tabitha - somewhat of a project of mine as her Star quality(87) and charisma(75) made me take a chance on her. Managing Natural Storm.

Mostly I want to see how high I can get her Mic skills before they top out.

Sister Beth Mercy - managing The Night Terrors, another one I'm rolling the dice on to see how high I can get her mic skills.

ANNOUNCERS

Duane Fry -swiped from SWF and has never looked back. The current voice of the USPW World

Jerry Wilkes - random gen with great skills (87ish) that is currently my B show announcer. Also works a three person desk with Duane during our PPVs.

COLOR COMMENTATOR

Sara Silver - hired after I made a tweak to the editor shifting her from out of the business to on hiatus. Another Favorite of mine since TEW 2010.

Emily McQueen - our B show Color commentator. Normally I'm a fan of Emily, but for this game she's not really needed. Most likely out the door when renegotiation time hits. Bruce the Giant also has a hate on for her for whatever reason.

QUESTIONS FOR THE CREATIVE TEAM:

1) I have a general idea on whom I'm going to let go, while I have have no problems waiting for their contracts to expire, my monthly income is ever so slightly in the negatives with an industry at 4 and an economy at 50. Do I go ahead and eat the contract costs and fire the targeted people, or wait?

2) At the last PPV The Rock Adams and Tyson Baine match scored a 72. below what I expected yet better than the abysmal 69 of their first meeting. Would you keep it going as it's not really a major feud focus or nix it and move others to different feuds?

3) Out of curiosity, how do you usually deal with a worker being very upset if he/she is to drop their title or tag titles(in my case) to someone else? Typically I use money to nullify the anger, though I hear post PPV speech hugs and lessen anger as well.

4) Right now Raven Nightfall(leader), Damien, and Grimm make up the Darkness Rising stable. I could add a few more members to the group such as Cobra, Donovan Grave, and Krudge, but am somewhat worried that said other members may end up forgotten when it comes to being part of said group. Would you add more or keep it a close knit 3 person group?

5)As of this moment Remo is scheduled to dethrone Valiant as champion. Would you feed Remo a few upper mid carders or lower main eventers to help build up his reign as champ or would you move him right away into another major feud. He is eventually to lose it to Tom Gilmore.

demondragonking · October 22, 2013

Update time! Huzzah!

We are in week 1 of December of 2015 and closing in on the second year of me at the helm of USPW. We remain at #1 in both importance and influence. we have 11 Million in the bank and at 100 Prestige and 88 momentum.

I have pulled the trigger on the Nicky Champion and Alicia Strong heel turns. Nicky will take on Valiant and Alicia will face J-Ro. New USPW vs Old USPW. I'm thinking that I may put a few others in Nicky and Alicia's way before finally facing Valiant and J-Ro. Possibly a time declining Enygma for Nicky to go over, and Melody for Alicia to go over.

Remo remains our Champion(100 prestige) and is currently without a solid storyline. I'm debating on weather to feed Remo a few lower card guys or just move him onto his feud with Tom Gilmore. I'm thinking the former at the moment. Ace Andrews,Frankie Perez, and Mikey James are the likely victims if so.

J-Ro is our Women's champion and has 12 defenses under her belt. I'm thinking currently that she drops it to Strong and someone else moves up to challenge for the belt afterwards, probably Sara Marie York who I'm a fan of.

The Sneer Corp member Jumbo Jackson and Ernest Youngman are our tag champs having taken the belts from The West Coast Dragons. Currently The team of Hit and Run, KC Glenn and Davis Wayne Newton both sporting cowboy gimmicks, are challenging for the belts. If they end up moving up some in popularity from this feud a title run is not out of the question.

The Swooping Fros, Swoop McCarthy and Fro Sure, are having difficulty with Damien,Grimm, and Raven Nightfall of Darkness Rising. However the feud has slowly helped move the Fros into the midcard. I'm hoping by the end of this one everyone has improved in popularity as I see all of these guys as future top workers for me.

I discovered the reason for the Rock Adams/Tyson Baine horrid match from previous posts. It seems when I wasn't looking Baine has hit time decline. Sad as I like the guy, but I'm now in the process of relegating him to 'The Enygma push' AKA moving him down the card slowly while he builds others. He is currently fighting American Patriot over the US Title which, I am hoping, will boost the title prestige and help Am Pat get more over. Both are upper midcarders at the moment.

Jack Bruce continues to be 'The Villian' of my USPW having beaten Bruce the Giant he has moved on to tormenting Rock Adams. I'm honestly at a loss as to who goes over in this one. I'm leaning towards Adams because with Bruce and his Entertainment stats he can make up any losses there.

I am mightily pleased in the fact that both Steven Parker and Mathew Keith are now in the main event scene. Parker is more solidly established so I need someone to help establish Keith in his position as a main event guy. I AM surprised that Zim(my bumfhole) is solidly in the main event as well. My next goals include getting Roger Cage into the main event(currently Upper mid) and moving Beast Bantom into the upper reaches of the card as well.

The following is the current skills of one Petr Novak. While nothing to write home about, I am pleased he is one of the better menecing big men on my roster. I may see about a push for the big guy.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y72/DemonDragonKing/notsobigofaflop.jpg

My project, Matty Faith continues to sloooooooowly improve. I don't expect anything other than average skills from Matty but by this point I'm curious to see how far we can grow the lump. Heaven forbid we make an actual worker out of him. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Logan Wolfsbaine is complaining about wanting out of development, so he looks to debut with us soon on the main roster. There are a few solid workers developing in out feeder league. Most of which are random gens.

Tiffany Jade's contract is almost up (6 days) so she's almost outta here. Next up are Karloff and Muscles, both of whom aren't going to see renewed contracts and are slowly being milked of their popularity. After that the next people to walk out our doors will probably be Happy Elwood who was hired to keep Nicky happy when we were fighting other feds and Bruce the Giant who now gets extremely winded after a 6+ minute match. Brandon James's contract is up for SWF and I put in a bid for him but at 39 and wanting a good chunk of cash, I'm not going fight too hard for the guy.

at our last PPV I got a incident involving Jack Bruce and Swoop McCarthy doing a karaoke duet. The image of that still tickles me. The combined charisma of the two belting out tunes would have been something to see.

Now a few questions for my USPW Creative staff, AKA you guys.

1) Remo and his world title: Do I feed him some upper midcard guys for a few months or do I move him right into the fight with Tom Gilmore. Currently he's had 4 defenses and hasn't held the belt for more than a month or so.

2) Do I feed some 'old guard' USPW alumni to the now heel Nicky and Alicia before the big fights with Valiant and J-ro?

3)I currently have 22 Women's workers with a few more asking to be called up from development. I am pondering a women's tag title to give some of these ladies something to do. Good idea? Y/N?

Rebooted my USPW game and got a favorable draw on contract lengths (well, good for the unwanted ones at least) and time decline...

Thinking of getting rid of the National Title and keeping the TV Title. Or would you guys recommend doing the opposite? They both have equal prestige, and EVERYONE seems to gravitate towards wanting shots at the TV title as opposed to the National title in the morale screen.

Plus the National title is Peter Valentine's personal belt so screw him.

demondragonking · October 23, 2013

quick update time. It seems I did a good thing when I paired up Mikey James/Remo and Frankie Perez/Claufield into fueds if the picture below is any clue. Perez and James are Uppermidcarders, by the way.

Quick question:

In preparation for a possible dynasty, I have booked almost 3 full months, but just now starting to flesh out the results/storylines on the page.

While the default product looks like WWF circa 1980s, the starting storyline that has Tyson Baine using a fireball to the face of Nicky Champion seems to go against that perception. What do you guys see as an "acceptable" level of violence in USPW (to use as a guide when fleshing out the angles)?

Tyson Baine in USPW, and for a lot of his career, is a demon. Gimmickly speaking, a fireball is the perfect attack for him. It would be on purpose a shocking moment for the audience, because it's unexpected & against the USPW perception of your viewers. At max you could raise the hardcore level to low, but your product will not change. At low, personally as a fan I would accept a little more of edge when necessary.

Based on the TEW default angles, I would use the Monster Unleashed Ver1. I used this angle in a test game just a few minutes ago, with Baine attacker & Champion attacked, 6 minutes time, and I got a 93/A grade. With that angle the storyline grades from the initial 76/B- to 91/A.

If you are planning a diary, I would use this Nicky Champion alt when he will return to live TV (credit to J Silver for the rerender & Iceisle for the alt).

P.S. In the 80's Jerry Lawler used to attack enemies with fireballs.

What is the best way to replicate a screwjob ending in the game? With some big contracts coming up on the horizon, Enygma and his "Wage Matching" is not something I wish to deal with.

demondragonking · November 19, 2013

Believe me I feel your pain dealing with that. It's one of the two items I NEVER offer in a contract no matter who it is. Creative Control being the other one. As for your question, short of jobbing him out (which would be hard considering he has CC, I think) to everyone on the roster or just getting him so angry he asks for his release...There's really not much you can do short of opening up the editor and 'adjusting' his contract. At least to my knowledge.

CQI13 · November 19, 2013

Well, I'm not against using the editor. I may double his salary but take away the Wage Matching. But I wouldn't mind losing him to TCW (since he's unlikely to go back to SWF), if only to make things a little more interesting.

In the meantime, I'm in a bidding war for Mighty Cavanagh with NOTBPW. I doubt I will get him, but it will likely hurt their finances.

Sternum · November 20, 2013

I feel like renaming the Television and National titles to something more in-line with the patriotic theme, but I can't think of anything other than "All-American Championship." Anyone have any great ideas?

CQI13 · November 20, 2013

There's the "United States Title" or they also have the "Military Title" in the database.

CQI13 · November 23, 2013

Looking to start a storyline in my game where several factions begin to pop up in USPW, creating a "Gang Warfare" atmosphere. Aside from The Sneer Corporation, which will undergo some drastic changes, I picture:

Team America (Capt USA [manager], Chris Caulfield, Freddie Datsun, American Patriot, Sara Marie York)

The Iron Curtain (Col. Natasha [Nadia] Snow, Petr Novak, Krusher Karloff, Igor & Ivan Ivanoff)

Darkness Rising (blatantly ripped off from this thread, though I only have Raven Robinson and Baine on the roster currently)

An as of yet unnamed Native American stable (Nicky Champion, Running Wolf, maybe one other male and a female member)

An as of yet unnamed Black Power stable (Andre Jones, [Frantic] Ali X, Lil Henry...maybe a female worker)

The Future (Steven Parker, Matthew Keith, Greg Gauge, and Mainstream Hernandez)

An as of yet unnamed Superhero stable (El Mitico Jr, Mr Lucha III, Masked Stranger)

I may also add a military/mercenary stable led by General [Commissioner] Doom.

Is there a way (once in game) to make sure a worker doesn't retire prematurely? I'm guessing not. I already have a few of these beginning to form, so I can take it a few ways.

IF Strong retires prematurely, one of the heel factions would attack him on the way out. Or I may run a storyline where his retirement (if it goes smoothly) creates a vacuum of power in USPW, prompting several factions to try to gain control. A third option would be if I'm able to get all the factions up and running, the Board of Directors puts pressure on Strong due to his apparent loss of the locker room, with the factions popping up.

Also, names for the unnamed stables?

One more thing I would have Wanda Fish leading The Future. A hot cougar leading a bunch of athletic young men is just money. (Not Rich he's too good for USPW)

Hokay, after restarting (see the what's going on in your game post) we return to this thread for more in depth updates.

We are number 1 in the world, with 87 Prestige and 92 Momentum, we have 16 mil in the bank, and our Popularity across America is 86. We have two shows our A show USPW: Made For Battle on Tuesday Evenings on USA Sports 1 and USPW American Wrestling which was made a B show Wednesday Evening on American Sports.

we were badly heel heavy and no one worth their salt was able to go face to balance it out so I hired a few workers to do so. So we Welcome Frantic Ali, Fro Sure, Kirk Jameson, and Mikey James.

The biggest signings however have been Marat Khoklov, Killer Shark as Megalodon, and Gargantuan. All under the guidance of Eric Tyler and his Tyler Enterprises. Currently Megalodon and Gargantuan are threatening the lower card in order to bolster their popularity while Marat is involved elsewhere.

Nicky Champion is currently being harassed by Miss Chase's only monster Grimm (Scythe -upper mid). This storyline is to give Nicky something to do and bolster Grimm's popularity to solidify him in the upper cards.

Wolf (Hawkins) got jumped by Paul Huntingdon earlier in the month and hasn't been able to shake the man's pursuit after Wolf's entrance into USPW. A feud to bolster Huntingdon slightly (he waffles between ME and upper mid a lot) and set up Wolf, the eventual victor, for a world title run.

Valiant has been determined to deal with USPW's resident Giant in Bruce the Giant and has been largely successful. Then Marat Khoklov involved himself into the fight on no one's side but his own. Their first three way Match had Valiant pick up the win as Bruce and Marat mainly got into one another's way in trying to take out Valiant. Post match had a Bruce/Marat nose to nose staredown, hinting at a future conflict.

Tony (troy) Tornado is our champion, taking the belt off of Enygma who I had acting like Golumn from Lord of the Rings in that he was being VERY obsessive about 'his' belt and did everything he could to hold onto it. Eventually Troy beat him and in steps Rich Money and his group, The Made Men. I'm thinking of running this one for a while, but eventually Rich will take it I think to eventually feud with Wolf, who together achieved our only 99 match so far.

We're on a march to international thanks to TV on USA Sports 1 (My new favorite TV station). Once we hit International I've got my eye on the International guys below:

The Elimination agents - They remind me of Demolition so I'll pick them up and repackage them, so they'll come in repackaged as Wrecker and Breaker of Obliteration to shore up our tag ranks.

Loxley Robbins and Kerry Wayne - two guys I picked up in the previous save and who I'll nab again. Probably team them up with Dawn (The Cheerleader) provided no bad chemistry to help them gain pop in the USA.

Questions for the creative team:

1) With the eventual Bruce/Marat matchup upcoming, do I involve Bruce in having to go through the other members of Tyler enterprises in Megalodon and Gargantuan first or do I just go with the giant vs giant match up?

2) Brooke Tyler has seriously disapointed me as it seems her Psychology stat has topped out at a whopping.....48-49 despite the great workers we have in our women's division. when her contract comes due would you keep her despite that horrid Psy? Especially when I have seemingly other young women that are learning more quickly (Simoney Sentinal and Charity Sweet)?

3) Primus Allen is currently a face and I'm tempted to build him up as something of a Giant slayer as a majority of our giant big men are heels. Good idea or should I wait and train his skills up more before going forward with the idea?

Grfcboy95 · November 25, 2013

For number 1, I'm guessing Bruce is getting a face turn? I think keep it as giant v giant, it's avoids khoklovs lackeys from being buried, they have no business with Bruce just yet. Build them up, then see what happens. <img alt="

Congratulating Valiant on his victory against two people that should have smushed him, looking conflicted as Marat obliterates Valiant post match as Bruce walks back up the ramp, etc. That sorta thing.

Hashasheen · November 28, 2013

Been playing around with USPW in the demo as I make up my mind as to whether or not I want to make a final jump to TEW 2013 or not, and I was hoping someone could give me prototypical cards for television and PPV. You know, how much to feature on main eventers, how much to feature on mid-carders, best angles to use (both for ratings gain and story-telling, etc...), in order to get the ratings necessary to remain at National.

CQI13 · November 28, 2013

I switched the match ratio to 40% - the angles are what bring the people in.

I always run a Sam Strong Promo (switched him to Authority Figure) to open the show, or near the opening. If you get Nadia Snow, use her as the mouthpiece to The Cold Warriors and run the Valet Promo angle (rated on Sex Appeal for her, Menace for Novak & Krusher).

The two angles generally net me high 80/low 90 for Strong's promo, and high 70s for the menace angle with The Cold Warriors. Those two angles determine the majority of your Angle grade for the final rating.

Multiple man main events work well early on. You won't get great ratings on the matches, but Nicky Champion is probably the best on the roster. You have some great women, who can get you good ratings as well. At 40% matches, you are looking at a starting point of 36 mins (out of 90 minutes on American Wrestling).

My first few cards saw a TV Title match, the Main Event, and a Women's match, with the match that changed from week to week was the Women's (sometimes it'd be a Tag match featuring Natural Storm, or a match that set up a PPV encounter).

The rest of the show is promos and stuff to hype the first PPV. I use the pre-show to get other people on the show, and if it's an angle or a match that has storyline implications, I say it's a Web exclusive or something along those lines.

A working agreement/alliance with TCW can help bring in some good talent. But depending on which you choose, TCW won't take damage from you in the National Battle. And I've seen a few different things happen in my playthroughs:

1. TCW wins the battle, with SWF crapping the bed and finishing 3rd, falling to cult.

2. SWF wins the battle, with TCW crapping the bed and finishing 3rd, falling to cult.

3. SWF wins the battle, TCW edges me out and we all stay at National. That was my most recent playthrough, but in a touch of irony the Southwest's importance dropped, dropping TCW to cult.

So in short, winning the battle is extremely difficult, but you can survive it.

Focus on the strengths - sex appeal, menace, Strong's overness, and the people who can go in the ring (typically Champion, Justice and Enygma, with some occasional departures from that).

Hashasheen · November 28, 2013

Cheers, mate. Some further questions:

I've been considering adding B-Shows for USPW, SWF & TCW, with USPW's being heavily wrestling focused. Will the 40% wrestling ratio affect the B-Show as well?
