I was thinking of merging the two and having a "brand-split" between the competing east and west coast groups. Of the two, the scenario that makes the most sense is to have Thomas buy out a troubled PSW, and the two work together against GSW.

 

I would probably change both the PSW and the Californian Championship to Floating Titles -- I'd retire the PSW National Title, and have the IPW Champion represent both brands. Both Brands would have their own tag champions.

 

Each Brand would have 5 unique PPVs, and there would be two PPVs where both teams participate. I would give the company a PPV deal but not a TV Deal to start -- this would put them in a better position.

 

Any thoughts on this plan?

 

I like this a lot. I think having them at exactly the importance for cult size (47 in Tri-State, 47 in South West) or just below (say, 40-45 in TS and SW) with 10-15 pop in other regions and a Very Small PPV deal would be perfect. The brand and PPV layout you described would be excellent. One worker I'd like to nominate for this PSW/IPW hybrid is Kill Switch (Frankie Perez)--he's been the guy for me in my own IPW game and carried us to regional.

[K-Nection]

You could leave the title situation up to the player....depends on how much game time you are placing between the merger and start. I say it would be cool to attempt to play out the unification of the title.

As many of the Japanese wrestlers aren't very over in the states, it adds to my in-game challenge for TCW (lack of over workers). Eisaku Hoshino has been suggested. I plan on bringing in Samoan Destruction Inc. from GCG as the Gajin talent is likely to jump ship a few months before GCG falls under.

I think that Greg Black and Art Reed would be an good signing, giving TCW a solid tag team that has some experience. Black gets another chance in a big promotion, while Reed does the same as many others and leaves the more physical PGHW for TCW. PGHW probably brings in some younger gaijin talents and start to rebuilding. I think that Mabuchi Furasawa should go to BHOTWG, they have a tradition of stealing stars and established workers from GCG. But i could see a worker like Tadakuni Toshusai deciding to traveling the world, like Ino and Kudo has done. I'll agree on Acid.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="KnowYourEnemy" data-cite="KnowYourEnemy" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="39653" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I am thinking of having a couple of NOTBPW Wrestlers jump to stateside. <p> Bloodstone is my first thought, possibly with Harrison Hash as a "package deal".

Otherwise i think that he should stay in NOTBPW.</p><p> </p><p> Jared Johnson might fit in TCW, but if they are bringing in lots of other talents i could see him stay longer in NOTBPW and develope there instead. I'm not a fan of the other workers, especially not Mountie Mann. If he leaves i think that he should choose a entertainment promotion. Since NOTBPW has a bunch of workers with high legitimate gimmick ratings maybe one or few of them grows tired of being stuck in the midcard/lower midcard and goes to TIER 1 using their real names.</p>

For TIER 1 Gyokusho "Fujizilla" Fujimoto is probably your best option, you also have a few former sumos. There are not many option because of the time line difference between the two game series. If you download the demo, filter on age and select heavweights or super heavyweights. The rest are probably way too small for TEW, because of the difference in the weight systems (you will find this out when using the weight table in the TEW FAQ). In WMMA4 you also have new workers like Shing Lai and Sorai Yoshizaki.

Actually I think the unmasked idea sounds good. He'd be heading into an exclusively heavyweight company and likely right near the top with the big names which would be a huge step in his career. Sort of like Misawa unmasking https://i.imgur.com/9P7ZIdw.gifv

6/22/2015 Update:

SWF has moved to Global, up to (Low) National in Japan and (High) National in Canada. They are rated as the #1 Promotion in the US, #1 Promotion in Canada and the #3 Promotion in Japan. I plan to alter SWF's "challenge" accordingly with a few workers departing/joining. Notably, Marat Khoklov will remain in SWF, and Gargantuan will be headed somewhere else.

I've added Kudo and Komine to PGHW to explain Ino joining PGHW over SWF. I want to "change the sphere" of the National Battle to Japan. I intend to "shift down" several of the Japanese promotions in the rankings.

I've moved SOTBPW to #4 overall in the states (Low Cult) behind USPW. I'm considering adding a working agreement with TCW. SOTBPW has added a third brand (similar to AAA's Lucha Underground) Gold that has a US-Exclusive TV Show.

[KnowYourEnemy]

6/27/2015 Update:

 

I've had TCW add a women's division to build off the comparably high popularity of QAW wrestlers in TCW's home Southwest Region -- it becomes disproportionate comparable to the rest of the United States within a year. The division will employ Gorgon, Bryden, Nightfall and Melody from USPW's Women's Division.

[mezomi]

Remember to stay aware of traditional C-Verse trends. Workers tend to rarely jump to different companies and Richard Eisen, and Tommy Cornell really never steal stars and prefer to build their own. USPW has been the main promotion that always steals stars and never builds their own. I guess you are going in a different direction but now I will get to my main point.

 

Take star progression into mind. If you look at Marshall Dillon, who I consider to be very mediocre an look at him back in 2010, his is significantly worse. This shows he is improving and probably will continue to do so so adjust his stats to be better, and not just by a few points in this case and in many similar. MAW is a good example as guys like Cameron Vessey and The Awesomes have gotten so much better over the three years in the Cornellverse. Roderick Remus is another more recent example who went to MAW and his stats rose tremendously whereas guys like Remmy Skye seem to never change. Christian Price also got significantly better. Basically, don't be stingy with buffs to lower workers. Usually if you don't want to buff them, just release them like Rayne Man or the 2005 tag teams.

 

Also, don't overdo the retirements. A lot of people tend to stay wrestling until a lot older in the C-Verse. Even Christian Faith might be a semi active wrestler in 2015. Very few big time wrestlers tend to retire until their 50s or at least late 40s.

 

Obviously, if you make any major changes to any worker, make sure to update the description.

 

One of your goals with this mod seems to be providing various options and challenges to play so don't be scared of upgrading promotions like PSW or even something like L-Ring or another yet to debut promotion.

[KnowYourEnemy]

7/23 Update: My computer crashed about a month back. I am determined to complete this project, but I no longer have my original mod to work from. I expect to have a Beta in December of 2016 depending on my amount of Free Time -- the in-game data is for May 2017, and I expect to have that be the full "release date".

 

USPW has been "re-branded" under new ownership. The major personnel change is the loss of the Women's Division. The company, in its entirety, has fallen from "The Strong Family" to a "Media Conglomerate" consisting of the "SL Corporation", TCW Star Liberty and Booker Ricky Dale Johnson. As a result, WWA is introduced as the "official" dojo of the USPW promotion (WWA:US to be exact). I intend to add a few "names" to the list of trained athletes there.

 

WWA will sponsor a DEV similar to the "Power Plant" for USPW.

 

Shane Sneer will leave the company in a "huff" and Goldworthy is his "replacement".

 

I think that GCG survives atleast until 2016, since they have preset dojo graduates until then.

 

Maybe CGC do lose the war, since they don't seem to produce any new talent any moore. Maybe SWF, WWA and NOTBPW have picked all the cherries from CGC

 

The goal of this particular Mod is to create an alternate universe of plausible outcomes not reflected in future data. Therefore, when a mod is announced/completed, this will still exist as a stand-alone mod. GCG is "merged" into BCG with a few exceptions heading for PGHW or Burning Hammer.

 

UDCG will "inherit" the Roaring Lion Tradition, including the Golden Dojo, but the Trainer will have left for PGHW... so several "future talents" starting in 2015 may show up as part of the PGHW dojo class.

[K-Nection]

Are you talking about December 2016 in the game or not have the beta ready until December 2016?

[KnowYourEnemy]

Are you talking about December 2016 in the game or not have the beta ready until December 2016?

 

November/December 2016 was the planned drop date all along. I wanted to "plan out" the mod before I actually started editing data in.

 

The game file is tenably going to start in May 2017, (or) after the conclusion of Total Mayhem.
