How Many People Here Play in the UK for C-Verse?

I've tried many many times to get a game going but they never last.

 

Hoping 2016 changes. HIW seem like my speed so I might shoot and aim for them as my first UK company in 2016 (unless something miraculous changes and the UK is the new hotspot for CVerse talent. )

I played in the UK on the demo version, but got into a 7 year UK save with a RW mod (road to glory promotion).

 

I prefer to create my own companies, unless I'm running an historical mod

I have never tried it. But it might be interesting to give it a try.

I am right now booking my English Pro Wrestling (created promotion in first day of the game) Weekly Action TV show in Week 2, January 2023... I am using 2008 CV database (in TEW 2013), so I am 15 years into the game right now and the only promotions that have went out of business are Championship Wrestling from Wigan and... 21st Century Wrestling which went bust a little bit less that a year ago in April of 2022! By the way my databse consists only from workers and promotions that are based in Europe and British Isles!

I played a few years of British Isles C-verse. It's really fun, here's what I did.

 

Created the Brittania Wrestling Alliance with a cap on Regional. I added a created company to the alliance from Ireland, South, Central, North UK, Scotland, Scandanavia and Central Europe. So a territory system with trading will allow you to bring in some European talents active in Scandanavia and Central EU to work for you.

 

Championship Wrestling from Wigan - North - Pure Wrestling

Edinburgh Championship Wrestling - Scotland - Wigan Style

Kingdom Pro Wrestling - Southern - Old School Rasslin'

New Age Pro Wrestling - Ireland - High Spot Spectacle

United Kingdom Wrestling Fed - Central - Attitude Entertainment

Deutscher Ringerbund - Central Europe - Pro Wrestling MMA

Championship Wrestling Scandinavia - Respect for Wrestling

 

This way you have small to regional wrestling companies covering the spectrum of workers. Also I make the finances a shared pot to keep these companies from going out of business within the first few months of the game.

 

Then I created a few who are not part of the alliance that could eventually rise to cult.

 

National Wrestling Federation - Southern England - Tradition Updated

Titan Pro Wrestling - North England - High Spot Spectacle

 

Finally, I created a wrestling company in Eastern Europe that is a Strongman USPW style regional promotion.

 

This helps to keep the U.K. world as fun and dynamic as the U.S. and Japan worlds. I use company photos I got from here and tried to make the owners people from the country/area where the promotion is based out of.

 

EDIT:

Oh and forgot to add that I added 2 tv networks and gave them specific coverage.

 

GWE Deutschland - Central Europe, Scandinavia, South and Central UK.

System K - Central and South UK, Central Europe, and Scandinavia

I usually use the UK as a starting point for my RTGs since I live there, and usually create my own promotion. The only time I haven't is when I was playing the 97 mod and went with MOSC which is amazing because of theme. I usually go with a MOSC-esk fed with my created companies, just balls to the walls stuff, but with a Welsh feel rather than Scottish and a British Lucha colorful flippy shit product rather than Old School Brawling.

[Capelli King]

The problem is depth, we do not really have that many companies there to make it interesting. I tried with 21CW 1 time but could not get into it. I usually end up with Japan/USA/Canada

[WrestleManiac]

I loved the UK in the older games. ROF fan. British Samurai, UK Dragon, and Merle O'Curle. Then, in 2013, they are dead. I cried. Very sad. Can't play UK now. Play in USA, but can't seem to find a replacement promotion I like.

[Midian]

I've tried to but because I like booking more sports entertainment style I find it hard due to not being many popular wrestlers.

[cappyboy]

I've tried on a couple occasions but never really gotten that far with it. I've never really gotten much of a fix on the British pool. Throw in 21CW becoming the lone wolf of the scene in TEW 13 and that just made things worse for me. Being American and only knowing the UK from afar may not be the biggest help for me in this regard either. Would certainly like to do more with Britian though.

[KnowYourEnemy]

I've played a few UK games and used some British workers abroad. There are several great debuts in Britain, but most are tied to 21CW -- usually I sign away talent with Exclusive PPAs though if you don't want to do that you can always wait for 21CW to go out of business -- in most games they won't last past 2020.

 

I've had success with both old-school Wigan/Catch promotions and hardcore promotions.

 

The biggest obstacle is that Britain (and Europe) have so low industry level % and little spillover it's nigh impossible to create a true "national" promotion.

[Lucas]

I usually set Region Importance to 90% minimum for all regions in the game so every promotion wherever they are have a chance at becoming National.

 

That said, even with that I had difficulty getting great grades in UK. Cult was a level I could get to, but didn't play long enough to stick it out for National as it just felt like a very difficult grind.

[Blackman]

I used to way back in TEW07. It was sort of a 'noob' area as it was the USA but on a much smaller scale. Easier to find your way without getting lost in the amount of workers. But the US is more interesting once you get the hang of the game (sorry Nova).
