D-Lyrium Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 My first show should be up tomorrow, hopefully. I came down with a UTI today. They're not fun. May or may not be feeling better tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Celt Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 So, what did all the other members make of Wallbanger essentially stringing up the entire women's talent pool in North America for himself on day one? It certainly must have put foolinc on the back foot somewhat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Personally I was a little bummed to see such my rivals making such big movements into the women's ranks. While I had no plans to launch a women's division, I do enjoy a character-based show, and women add a fun variety of characters. Plus, there are some talented girls out there, who I hoped would remain free and available in case I wanted to go in that direction. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that my opponents also saw the positives to using women. I don't think Wallbanger has quite the monopoly of North American when it comes to the women, however. Alliance or not, a PPA is just a PPA, and many of the old favourites of the C-verse are just that; Old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolinc Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 So, what did all the other members make of Wallbanger essentially stringing up the entire women's talent pool in North America for himself on day one? It certainly must have put foolinc on the back foot somewhat. I'm not really that concerned and was really into the idea of joining the alliance at the beginning (in fact the argument that Strong and Sneer had week 1 was initially about joining the alliance until I decided not to join). USPW only has so much TV and is a popularity based company. I already have the most over women in the US and they are pretty damn good wrestlers to boot. I really just need a couple more women to develop in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Honestly, the alliance doesn't do anything other that give the AI companies a vehicle to trade with each other. Now, let's say that TCW and USPW both joined the alliance; a side benefit to being able to trade with each other and any of the other members is that they couldn't hurt each other in their current National Battle. They're not being constrained at all, really; they're #2 and #3 in the game; if they want to hire for their women's division, they're going to. I wanted to build the alliance as an alternative to pillaging AAA and QAW. I was lobbying behind the scenes pretty strongly to get Blake and foolinc to join for that same reason; Blake, of course, had to hire some women for his initial division, but that necessarily created opportunities for other women to step into larger roles. I just want more women working and developing instead of being an afterthought in this iteration of the Cornellverse, and the alliance was an attempt to do that. It's not working out quite the way I had hoped it would, but it is also not hurting anyone. Self, if you create a women's division and use them in an in-ring capacity, apply for membership in the alliance and I'll approve you. And since the game doesn't artificially limit the alliance to trading women, it can also be a de facto working agreement between us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 FIN, BHOTWG's shows will always be on the Monday... I know they technically aren't results but the results of my touring events will be included in them so it would probably be best to add links to my shows in there for people to find what I'm writing, otherwise I'm not sure what you're going to link to except my PPV events.

Blake Trask Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 So, what did all the other members make of Wallbanger essentially stringing up the entire women's talent pool in North America for himself on day one? It certainly must have put foolinc on the back foot somewhat. Those that I didn't steal, anyway. I wanted to build the alliance as an alternative to pillaging AAA and QAW. I was lobbying behind the scenes pretty strongly to get Blake and foolinc to join for that same reason; Blake, of course, had to hire some women for his initial division, but that necessarily created opportunities for other women to step into larger roles. *Her, but yes, I was going to join the alliance, then wavered a bit, and now am sort've flirting with the prospect. xD. Basically it's wound up being a bit of a pillage job but I guess it'll put more workers in circulation for AAA and QAW to have had some of their rosters lifted away to bigger things, and I already have some pretty fun ideas for my division. ...Which won't bear fruit immediately, I have no intention of just introducing the division right off the bat.

Self Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'd be stunned if it's not SWF. Just looking at how they're set up at the beginning of the game, and working under the assumption that Astil isn't going to completely tank them, it looks likely to me. SWF have a formidable setup. Television negotiations in February will be interesting. Who will make those strides to expand out of their area? A Women's division isn't part of my plans. Not for the first few months at least. Just sad to see that potential door (sort of) close. I stand by my 'old' comment. The Grace Harpers of the world are in their late 30's now. I wouldn't trust them as long-term commitments. Unless being hired by a big company in TEW13 helps stave off retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless being hired by a big company in TEW13 helps stave off retirement. It might stave off retirement, but it won't stave off decline, and if they are 45 and older, possible relevance decline. If a Worker is hit with Physical Decline, that generally hastens their decision to retire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yeah, SWF seem destined to hit International first unless they somehow fall to Cult. Even then, they're likely to bounce back up to Cult before anyone else is close enough to get there anyways, so I'd put my money on the SWF. BHOTWG (Burning Lariat of The Lariat Gods) actually do have a PPV deal across USA/Canada now thanks to a deal inked with Public Access Select. I've got no TV to support it though, so Burning Hammer are probably a lifetime away from ever growing beyond National. Which suits me fine, I'm going to rule Japan forever more and if my prestige holds up, I'm going to pillage the ever loving awesomeness out of North America any time a big name has their contract come up. I'd love to get Steve Frehley or Remo, they'd be a lot of fun to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
