Iceisle Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 In the three SWF games I've had so far, I've put Dawn with the Bumfholes, Lobster Warrior and The All-Americans. I also put Jessie with the Bumfholes in one of those games, and in the other two I paired her with debuting workers KC Glenn and Mainstream Hernandez.

Active Jerichoholic Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Who do you guys usually have Jessie / Dawn the Cheerleader manage? Can't think of anyone to take the roles of their clients. I've had Jessie with the Bumfholes in my game, and since Randy just turned on Zimmy she's caught between them. Dawn I have managing Des Davids even though he's good enough on his own, they have good chemistry. Also, unless you have her doing interview segments semi-regularly I'd give Ana Garcia some clients as well so she doesn't get upset over not being used. Or try to remember to have her take over for Emma when her stable has matches, but 1. It's just hard to remember every time and 2. If you keep pushing them close to the main event, Ana isn't nearly as good as Emma so the matches won't be as highly rated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I paired Jessie with Angry Gilmore for obvious reasons, and they had good chemistry, so I kept it there I have Dawn managing the Bumfholes which occasionally helps them into top stories to oppose the Chase Agency. Might think about one of them turning and joining Chase actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like booking that show because it is so different from the other shows I book. Matches tend to be rated a bit lower because of midcard guys, so I spent 1 million on a band and 1 million on a set and that helped.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novacain Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Out of curiosity, has anyone tried a Emma face turn? Everyone has her clients going face, but I think a client going too and her growing a conscious, and turning her attention to do what ever it takes to destroy her power obsessed former client would make an awesome. Anti-Hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is, until Zimmy was forced onto the Cruiserweight B-show. </p><p> </p><p> After a few months of moping (lots of looking out of windows in the rain) I promoted Emma to 'Commissioner' of the upcoming tag tournament, where she had the totally-not-self-serving idea of making it "random partners" and introduced a "new signing" to the 'A' show. His name is Zenith. He is clearly Zimmy Bumfhole in a mask (idea stolen from B-show cruiserweights) and a fat suit (to avoid that pesky weight class issue) pretending to be a happy Mexican babyface, while doing all the same moves and mannerisms and cheating like a maniac. He was paired with Angry Gilmore in the tournament, a man in no mood for shenanigans.</p><p> </p><p> So every week, Gilmore tries to unmask or otherwise prove to the people in charge than "Zenith" is Zimmy, and get him kicked off of the 'A' show and out of his life. Emma Chase plays innocent, helping keep Zimmy's identity secret, so they could sneak off to hold hands and go on picnics. Eventually I found them so much fun I just turned them.</p><p> </p><p> I don't know how much future there is once Gilmore & Zenith lose the tag belts (yeah... somehow they're tag champions) and/or Zenith is unmasked. Emma's too valuable to just be a valet for a high-flying babyface.</p><p> </p><p> ... and to answer the name issue, I TOTALLY going to do a wedding angle soon.

UkWrestleFan Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Y'know, reading some of these replies, maybe I will keep the Bumfhole name. It's not like either will get a solid Main Event push in the first year or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
