<p>In my 21CW game, I let Pit Bull Brown end his contract after I reached a point where I didn't really have a use for him. I've now decided to bring him back as a Developmental Trainer for my new child company. Then this happens:</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i.imgur.com/6xn8krg.png</span></p><p> </p><p>

I mean, that's fine. Rival offers happen. But... UKWE (UK Wrestling Evolved) is literally my child company that I just set up. That I was hiring Pit Bull Brown to be a trainer at. Which means either my assigned head booker or owner just counter offered my offer to hire someone for them.</p><p> </p><p>

What do.</p>

<p>I'm biding my time for a third attempt at National level with 4C. </p><p> </p><p>

Even though I somehow acquired Rocky Golden, and signed Jack Bruce on an event-only deal purely to boost our points, we're still 200 points behind USPW which is the only other National-level company in Canada. I want to do it before Golden and Bruce get too old, but it's so damn hard to build up workers to 800+ points.</p><p> </p><p>

Another dilemma - BHOTWG is in big debt, and I have the option of buying them out. However, I can't see them being much value as a development company (since they have no Canadian TV deal) and their workers are mostly old and have no Canadian popularity so there's little value in pillaging them aside from the company popularity boost.</p>

Only two people on their roster are under 31! My product has performance and pop equal, since most are pop 70+.

 

I've had Kozue Kawashima for seven months after PHGW went bust (ironically taken over by BHOTWG), and he isn't getting over at all.

 

I wish I could get some talent and use BHOTWG as a development territory, swapping people back and forth, but that's not an option.

 

Decisions, decisions!

 

Well,then i'd just wait for them to close and buy out their titles as trophies in the investments section.Don't they even have a good Road Agent or something?

I have Sam Keith, Pistol Pete Hall and Dan Stone Jr, so pretty set in that respect!

 

You may be right; might be simplest to just let them die and pick off the few people who are of any interest.

I've just finished writing one of my favourite PPV of the year in Money In The Bank 2020 including 3 Money In The Bank Ladder matches and speaking of which our first match was for the Raw Money In The Bank briefcase.

 

The opening match as I just said was for the Raw MITB briefcase and it saw Zack Ryder take on Neville, Noam Dar, Adam Cole, Finn Balor (former MITB winner) and Cole Galloway in a 90 A. The match had some great spots with Zack Ryder taking out Noam Dar with a Rough Ryder off the ladder, Finn Balor putting Ryder through the announce table with a Coupe De Grace and Neville putting Adam Cole through a regular table with a Red Arrow from the top rope. This left just 3 men to fight it out for the briefcase and while Galloway took out Finn with a Claymore Kick, he turned around into a superkick from Neville who quickly set up the ladder, ran to the top rope and as he was unbuckling the briefcase Cole Galloway tried to get back into the ring but his legs were pulled back by Neville's manager William Regal and Neville walks out with the Raw Money In The Bank briefcase.

 

The second match was a triple threat match for the European Championship between Alberto Del Rio © vs Jey Uso vs Jimmy Uso in an 83 B+. For most of the match it was The Usos who double teamed on Del Rio before he rolled out of the ring leaving the two Usos in the ring wondering who was going to become the champion, they argued about this until Jey lies down for Jimmy but as Jimmy goes for the pin he is hit with a backstabber from ADR which Jey doesn't see so when Del Rio pins him he doesn't kick out because he thinks it's Jimmy and Del Rio retains his European Championship.

 

Post match Jey Uso doesn't quite know what just happened until he sees Del Rio walking up the ramp with his European Championship and smiling as the fans chant 'Si Si Si'. Jimmy looks furious as he slides into the ring but he hugs Jimmy. However that hug soon becomes more serious as Jimmy gets in Jey's face and as Jey is about to go to the back he is hit with a superkick from Jimmy completing the face turn of Jey Uso.

 

Our third match of the night turned out to be one of the best of the night as in a 97 A* Xavier Woods defended his United States Championship against Roderick James. This match really surprised me as while Xavier is really over, he hasn't really put any great matches on so far apart from against Ziggler but anyone could put on a good match against Dolph Ziggler. It would Xavier who picked up the victory and retained his title as he hit Roderick with the Lost In The Woods but it made both men look like great talents and both came out looking better than they ever have before in the WWE.

 

At Over The Limit, Luke Harper teamed with Moose to take on The Price Is Right but when they lost Harper took out Moose and turned heel and for the weeks following he would sneak attack him until Moose got furious and challenged him to a No Holds Barred match at Money In The Bank and that is what would happen now. Their first contest would get a 77 B as when Moose went for his Game Breaker he was hit with a discus clothesline from Luke Harper who would then pick up the victory. However post match he wasn't done as he put Moose through a table with a powerbomb and walked off laughing.

 

Next up was the second of three Money In The Bank ladder matches and this time it was for the Women's MITB briefcase and it saw three women from Raw (Bayley, Becky Lynch and Noelle Foley) and three women from Smackdown (Liv Morgan, Charlotte and Paige) fight it out to become the second ever Women's MITB holder. It was Becky Lynch who was the first ever holder but she was taken out pretty early when Liv Morgan hit the Liv or Die on her and she never really recovered. One big spot in this one where Charlotte locks in the Figure Four on a ladder on Noelle taking her out of this match. At the end it was just Bayley and Liv Morgan at the top of the ladder and it came down to them just punching each other in the face until Liv fell of the ladder and Bayley became the second ever WMITB winner. 88 B+. Charlotte was scheduled to pick up the victory here and I had everything planned out but 4 days before the event I got the announcement that she was pregnant and would leaving on maternity leave in 3 months...

 

That was followed by a terrible Light Heavyweight Championship match as Jack Gallagher challenged for Tyler Breeze's title but as they didn't click at all it got a 68 C+ which is dreadful for one of my main shows. Breeze retains with the Beauty Shot.

 

After that Billie kay stepped up to challenge for Sasha Banks Women's United States title. Sasha had been pretty dominant so far defeating everyone who has stepped up to challenge her and it would be the same this time as she defeated Billie Kay with the Banks Statement in an 84 B+ to retain her title and the BFF's celebrate once again on another defense.

 

The next one may be a bit odd but I released Fandango in 2017 never thinking I would need him on my roster and in that time he went to Lucha Underground known as Johnny Curtis where he became a Trios Champion and just last year the Lucha Underground Champion so when his contract came to an end, I saw he had 82 Pop in America and I decided to bring him back in and give him a try out. Anyway I decided to stick with this Johnny Curtis gimmick I've given him which is a rich snob and on his return he came out, declared himself the greatest man in wrestling and challenged Sami Zayn for the Global Championship. Their match got a 93 A and Johnny Curtis took the Global Championship off of Sami and celebrated by hitting Sami in the face with it and just smiling before walking off with the title over his shoulder.

 

The only 100 A* of the show would follow this as The Wyatt's (Bray and Taylor Rotunda) cashed in their tag team title opportunity from winning the Tag Team Classic against Dashing and Perfect for the Intercontinental Tag Team Championships. This match was lower down the card as it was a face on face match which somehow managed to create another match of the year contender. This was also the Story telling match as the story coming into this was that Bray was damaged massively. That hell In A Cell loss to Enzo Amore had not only left him in great pain but he was also damaged physcologically as he felt that he no longer put fear into the opponents that he goes up against. However he felt that winning these titles would change that but however much he tried it wasn't enough as his body just gave up on him in the end and he was pinned by the Cross Rhodes from Cody Rhodes and they retain their tag titles.

 

If Sasha Banks' reign has been dominant then Queen Nia's must have no words to describe it because no one has even come close to defeating her since she won her third women's championship. However the next to take her on and try to end her dominance was Emma who came into the match selling an injury caused by Nia just a week before this match. This would come into play a lot in this match and at the end she went to run at Nia but her leg gave out and Nia quickly got her into the Bear Hug and Emma passed out as Nia retains her title in an 88 B+.

 

Another 88 B+ would follow this when Austin Aries had his rematch for the Cruiserweight Championship against Cedric Alexander. Cedric put on another great match here like he has been doing recently and he would pick up the victory over Aries here to retain the title with a quick roll up in a reverse of the Bully Choke.

 

The third and final Money In The Bank match was for the Smackdown MITB briefcase between Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Seth Rollins, Vilhelm Berg, Kalisto and the Alliance Champion Rusev who would all fight it out. Kalisto was taken out by a triple powerbomb through the Spanish announce table from The Shield before Rusev took out Seth Rollins with a Savate Kick to the back of his head. Later on in the match Roman was the only one left in the ring but as he started to climb into the ring Berg was there but he was only there until Roman took him out with a spear off the ladder. He was the first to get to his feet, he climbed to the top of the ladder and unhooked the briefcase. Roman Reigns is the SD MITB Winner.

 

The next match will take a lot to explain as we saw Prospect (Triple H, Big E, Enzo Amore and Jerry Bowman) take on Bulletproof (Sean Finlay, Kevin Owens, Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows) in a 4 on 4 elimination match. On Smackdown Kevin Owens took on Enzo Amore for the WWE Championship on SD when he was cost the match by Prospect but when they were beating down on him the rest of Bulletproof came down to make the save. This lead to WWE Kayfabe Owner Shane McMahon making the match official for MITB and he made it elimination. The order of elimination was Sean Finlay who was taken out by Big E with the Big Ending, Triple H was eliminated by Kevin Owens after he was taken out by Bray Wyatt with a Sister Abigail when the referee went down, Enzo Amore eliminated Doc Gallows with a Frog Splash only to turn around and be hit with a pop up powerbomb. He wasn't eliminated there however as he kicked out at 2 and then Big E came in and hit the Big Ending on Owens before Enzo climbed to the top rope hit the frog splash and eliminated KO. This left just Bulletproof leader Karl Anderson who managed to get rid of Big E and Jerry Bowman before being rolled up by the WWE Champion Enzo Amore.

 

Post match we cut backstage to where Triple H is furious and he finds Bray Wyatt sitting on top of a box backstage hurt but he's still laughing after he cost Triple H. He says "This all started with you Hunter, all this pain was because of you, I want you at Summerslam so I can finally end this all". Triple H charges at Bray but the lights go out and when they come back on Triple H has been laid out with a Sister Abigail.

 

The semi main event was for the Raw Tag Team Championships as Sabre and Ospreay defended their championships against The Hardy Boys and the newest tag team of Katsuyori Shibata and Apollo Crews who I found out have great chemistry just after I signed Shibata a couple of months ago. It would be Shibata and Apollo who picked up the victory here as Apollo hit a standing moonsault on Matt Hardy and Shibata hit him with the PK straight after and they won the Tag Titles. The match got a 99 A* as two more members of The Assassins lost their titles leaving Xavier as the only one still with a title for now.

 

The main event saw CM Punk get his rematch for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against the new champion Damien Sandow who won the title in a 4 way elimination match on Raw's last exclsuive PPV. This match got a 99 A* and it finished when Punk went for the GTS, lifted up Sandow who managed to escape and hit the Terminus for the second time in this match to retain his World Heavyweight Championship as Punk once again looks on in shock after Sandow once again shocked the world by winning a match where he is the underdog.

<p>Playing on the CV97 mod as CZCW</p><p> </p><p>

Got to say first off, this this mod is amazing and is set at the perfect point where many of the stars of the future are young, some rookies and sme to debut in the coming years and it's possible to create their histories or rewrite CV history.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

I'm using as many rookie future stars as I can so that it the future when they become national/international stars for the top promotions my company's history and title legacy has some serious weight and lineage behind it.</p><p> </p><p>

A few of the guys get snapped up semi often but tat is fine a there is a lot of talent in the game world. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Only 4 months and allready having to reconsider my booking after things like Steve Decolt inuring Sammy Bache, Alex/Steve were supposed to be feuding with Sammy and Troy over the tag titles but after this it looks like the plans will have to be scrapped. </p><p> </p><p>

Also had news report of one of my Top star and champion Fumi Ota and my new comer and part of the team that I wanted to develop into being the top team in my company Koji (of Koji and Koki) have began disliking each other.</p><p> </p><p>

Without WLW and USPW I should at least be able to keep my guys for a little bit longer before they get snapped up, also mostly dealing with lighter weights should keep them being snapped up a lot by SWF</p><p> </p><p>

I'm small sized but should be at regional or close too it by the end of the year, which is where the hard work starts of starting to grow to cult.</p><p> </p><p>

Year 2 will see a second monthly show in m secondary region whilst year 3 will see a 3rd monthly show that will tour the other reasons, giving each other reason a little pop boost, doing this for a decade should mean that i'm popular enough with enough revenue coming in to support a rise to cult. </p><p> </p><p>

Thanks to so many indie companies being around, larger companies like Dave who also book some of my guys are helping me by making some guys like Monty walker big stars for my company. </p><p> </p><p>

Monty went from midcarder of like 17 pop in my area to 56 pop and my second most over guy after 3 months of DAVE and CZCW shows. probably going to try tie him down to a lengthy deal o he doesn't outgrow me.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

My top strap has been on numerous people due to people being poached and injured.</p><p> </p><p>

Ota starts as champion, he lost it to Alex Braun that I wanted to build as my main threat, he got poached a week later and lost the title to Duane Stone. I signed Golden Fox to replace Braun.. Stone got injured and missed the show so Golden Fox got the title, had 1 defence and got injured.. meaning I had to yet again have a new champion on my lat show. 4 Man ladder match for the vacant title, Ota v Duane v Human Arsenal v Brent Hill.. Ota and Duane are feuding, Arsenal is main event job guy to take the pins whilst he develops his skills. Ota wins the title back, Arsenal Eats the pin, Duane looking to capture the title from his rival in the future and Brent Hill swearin to capture the title by any means necessary.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

My plan for Sammy/Troy v Decolts was for the Decolts to be these straight wrestling guys for a legendary wrestling family who are highly skilled but out of there element in gimmick matches... however the teg champions are lesser skilled but know how to use gimmicks to their advantage. Plan was for Decolts to be build up beating lesser teams in straight matches only to lose their title matches due to being in gimmick matches until they eventually embrace the Tables, Ladders and Chairs and capture the title.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

The Underdog rises? </p><p> </p><p>

Chris Perkins (The future Insane Machine) has been in CZCW for two years since his debut and has yet to win and rumors were starting to form that he may never break but of that rut and be cast aside eventually. a point that local party animals and bullies The 24 Hour Party People ( Monty Walker and Donnie J) took pleasure in reminding him and beating on his every chance they got. Things changed however when he was part of the winning team on 3v3 match on a recent event where it clearly meant the world to him, to pick up his first victory, only for Monty and Donnie to come down and rag the poor lad around until My user (Chri "Flash" Hart) comes down to back up him, My user being a rookie as well he gets over powered but it gives Perkins a chance to get up and start a fight back as well.. pushing Donni and Monty out to retreating to the back. They shake hands and agree to watch each others back and work on becoming a tag team. Whilst my was finising off his business losing his feud to Main Eventer Silver Shark , Chris Perkins managed to pick up another win in a multi man match which has seen his momentum pick up from the floor a little and gain some confidence, The 24 Hour Party People are still circling waiting for there chance to show up Perkins and Flash. This is used to develop Donnie J's skills and build up Perkins. This is the start of a multi year progression that will lead to Perkins become the crazed Insane Machine. </p><p> </p><p>

Rough plan is for Flash and perkins to become a tag team, become established and become multi time Tag champions, as the years go on Flash will show more heelish and brutal characteristic eventually turning heel on Perkin after they lose their tag titles... distraught at being backstabbed this will lead to Perkins becoming the Insane Machine that will, from then on, be a thorn in Flash's side and be a regular off again- on again rivals for titles.</p>

<p>I'm playing as ROH, I'm in January of 2019. 74 for prestige, 87 for momentum.</p><p> </p><p>

My top guys (that I signed for 6 years, at around 20k $ per month each) are Chris Sabin, Go Shiozaki, Jay Lethal, Kofi Kingston, Adam Cole (faces); Marty Scurll, Cody Rhodes, Yujiro Takahashi, Roderick Strong, and David Hart Smith.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm struggling financially since I lost a lawsuit against Batista that cost me 780.000 dollars and since my "In Demand" PPV deal ended and Sinclair Group won't let me negociate a new deal, but my shows are consistantly good (I'm always around a 90 rating), so it's getting there.</p><p> </p><p>

Here's my best show so far.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>April 1992 in my 91 WCW game;</p><p> </p><p>

Sting/Luger/Flair is really starting to get good now. Flair won the title back from Sting at Starrcade and recently has announced he is reforming the Horseman with AA and Rick Rude (who had won the World Title last summer from Sting before losing it back to him) with another yet to be named. Sting turned to best friend Luger to help him combat the numbers which worked well for a while, but in a match where Sting had to beat Flair for the title or never get a shot at Flair again whilst he's champion, Luger's botched interference cost him the title. There will be a Luger/Sting vs. Flair/AA tag match at The Clash and at the next PPV it'll be War Games where the 4th member of The Horsemen will be revealed. The Steiners will probably team with Luger & Sting.</p><p> </p><p>

Scott Hall continues his rise. He's held the US Title since Starrcade after defeating Luger. He's in a program with Ron Simmons which he is winning quite easily. It's actually building Simmons better than I thought but not enough to have me give him the title. Hall will be turned face soonish.</p><p> </p><p>

Owen Hart had an on-off feud with Pillman for the cruiserweight title for most of 91. The night after Starrcade The British Bulldogg debuted taking the TV Title and a couple of months later Bret Hart joined him, also winning a title in his debut match (Tag Titles with Owen from The Steiners) The long term plan is to either bring in Neidhart or turn Pillman for a Hart Foundation vs. Horsemen feud next year. Before that Bret will get a US Title run. </p><p> </p><p>

Injuries have been an issue since the start of the game. Steamboat was brought in to be one of my stars but got a year long tendonitis injury which meant he could work but not to a full level. I ended up having him mentor Dustin Rhodes during this time, rarely working in-ring. His contract was up and I chose not to renew. Kevin Nash went down with a knee injury keeping him out for 9 months and is close to return now. Flair and Sting both had similar injuries a year apart right in the middle of two different feuds between them. I used Flair's to push Sid Vicious who Flair wanted to take Sting's title to give to him (Very Andre/DiBiase like)...with Windham off to rehab, the Horsemen came to an end when Flair and Arn turned on Sid for not getting the job done. This resulted in Sid getting a clean victory over Flair and his pop shooting up to the 90s...I never really did capitalise on this though which may be an error on my part. </p><p> </p><p>

There's a Japanese angle I'm running with Misawa and Mutoh the two main combatants. It all started when Misawa's hot streak caught the attention of the incoming Orient Express who constantly attacked him. It led to a 2v2 with a mystery partner (Mutoh) who ended up turning on Misawa to join the Orient Express in a Yakuza-style stable. I'm likely going to bring in Sonny Ono to manage the group. </p><p> </p><p>

My latest show;</p><p> </p><p>

<p>Have enjoyed booking my AWA save but now I'm enjoying it even more in the year 1994 when I'm booking these three as a hostile heel group. Already have huge plans for them <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> this is only my B-show but they make appearances on all my shows.</p><p> </p><p>

Kanyon is currently the one holding them back but not by much and that's just because he has only just joined the company after ECW closed down at the end of 1993.</p>

<p>When is it a good idea to just let someone go?</p><p> </p><p>

I'm really torn with Mr. Perfect. he's got high 90's in popularity. He's a positive influence backstage but I can't trust him. He's got a score of 60 out of 100 in his soft drug addiction and has no-showed events due to it. One pay per view and two TV shows. His world title reign and winning streak came to an abrupt end when he didn't attend a pay per view while he was meant to be the defending champion. He was meant to face Hogan at Wrestlemania but instead lost it at a supercard.</p><p> </p><p>

I've sent him to rehab four times and he's still at 60. I can't really trust him enough to book him but I'd love if he was somehow redeemable.</p>

<p>[Obviously, spoiler alert if you've been following my Dynasty thread]</p><p> </p><p>

I'm playing CVerse as GSW and just hit the halfway mark into my first year. Still cutting losses and trying to make a profit, but my shows have gone from E to D+ already. With an owner goal of not (re)hiring people who have issues with the law and a starting roster that features too many of those, it's been interesting to say the least. Here are some of the things that went down in just 6 months</p><p> </p><p>

- Mexico's Finest had a short contract, so he was used to put Raheem Stash over before leaving the company. Won't be missing his attitude or problems with the law.</p><p> </p><p>

- Mobstar also started off with a short contract. Since he and his tag partner Gravedigga have problems with the law, they didn't last long in the company.</p><p> </p><p>

- Aces High was blessed with a long contract and started out pretty reliable, but after two shows in a row where he showed up stoned out of his mind, I made him drop the West Coast (midcard) title to Raheem Stash and kicked him out</p><p> </p><p>

- Rumble Roper's contract expired and he was replaced by Vixxen as the Road Agent. Better results for the same money, more bang for my buck.</p><p> </p><p>

- Since Vixxen is also a locker room leader, CJ Weston was also released to cut expenses</p><p> </p><p>

- I asked Cali Slick and Busta Capp to go from Middleweight to Light HW. Cali put on muscle, Busta put on fat.</p><p> </p><p>

- Kandii didn't hit the Sex Appeal benchmark and neither did Cheyenne, both of which were quickly fired. The promotion's ladies are now Kali Fornia, Osiris and Claire South.</p><p> </p><p>

- Claire South debuted under a Censor gimmick to a good reaction. Next show I brought the Good Ol' Boys in and put her as their manager. They are now the redneck-y heels running wild.</p><p> </p><p>

- Claire South also began dating Top Dolla about a month before his contract expired. He may have trouble with the law as well, but I need the backstage bonus and I need Claire, so I'll take a hit to my relationship with the boss to re-sign the kid. If nothing else, he's always willing to take Crazy Bumps.</p><p> </p><p>

- MC Motormouth just won an internet poll as the best color commentator. Color me impressed!</p><p> </p><p>

- Best of all, FCW decided not to renew Mutant's contract. I gave him a deal and he's getting involved in the tag team storyline, since he's got the mohawk, popularity, size and skin color of BB Colossus but he's younger, way cheaper, more skilled and more ripped.</p>

<p>Really happy with how SuperClash 10 turned out <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><a href="https://gyazo.com/a720a1273077c85a3a4a6aa7c5148de4" rel="external nofollow">https://gyazo.com/a720a1273077c85a3a4a6aa7c5148de4</a></p><p> </p><p>

SuperClash 9 last year got a 100 rating but still I'm happy with 96. Pillman will now be feuding with Shawn Michaels for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship making this the third title they have feuded for against each other (Had long feuds for the AWA Light Heavyweight Championship and also the AWA International Championship) </p><p> </p><p>

The Ebony Experience who are now 3x tag team champions will soon be feuding with The Misfit Krew members Raven & Kanyon. The Misfit Krew will win the annual June Tag team tournament to earn a tag team title shot and will eventually take the belts off The Ebony Experience making all three members of the Misfit Krew now title holders. (Pillman is the other Misfit Krew member) </p><p> </p><p>

Steve Austin will continue to feud with Lou Albano's two man army of Sid and Diesel. Sid Vicious was planned to take the title from Steve Austin at SuperClash X but two weeks prior to the PPV I had to suspend him meaning I decided to place Austin against Diesel but when Sid Vicious is back he will take the title from Steve Austin.</p><p> </p><p>

Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho have always cracked 78-81 in their matches together so it's a shame that the SuperClash X match was a disappointment but that's now the end of that feud so Eddie Guerrero will now go back to feuding with Rey Misterio Jr. who has unfinished business with Guerrero. Jericho will go back to teaming with Malenko as the men of 2001 holds and feud with Chavo and Edge.</p><p> </p><p>

Sting since joining AWA has made a real impact. After being used on WWF for years as enhancement talent I swooped in when his contract was up and saved his career. Sting is now a 2x AWA Television Champion and he is quickly moving up the card. He will now feud with Yuji Nagata who is currently on a monster heel run in the AWA.</p><p> </p><p>

Lastly, Ric Flairs matches have been dropping in ratings quite a bit recently but he will begin feuding with Jeff Jarrett now in a 'hair vs. hair' feud. Then after this feud is over Ric Flair will be taken off TV for 6 months before coming back to set-up a feud against Sting.</p>

Playing the Risky Business mod, as the WWF. Currently in March of 1989.

 

JCP had one hell of a year in 1988, having the Wrestler of the Year (Tito Santana), the tag team of the year (The Road Warriors), Veteran Wrestler of the Year (Dusty Rhodes), Match of the Year, and Company of the Year. But, it just didn't feel right playing against JCP instead of WCW. Plus, with them in the NWA, they did have a World title.

 

So, when Ted Turned formed WCW in December of 1988, I used Eric Bischoff to take over the booker spot, dropped JCP down to local in the editor, and bought them out. I also released a few wrestlers I had in development with the WWF, and sign them a pretty good roster. Set up their events, their belts, ect, before leaving them in the computers hands.

 

They made their first blow against me when they signed Four Horsemen member Alexander Summers away from me. Not too big a deal, he's pretty young, could use the improvement and I'm sure I'll be able to resign him down the road. Plus, it lets Arn Anderson get into the singles ranks and away from the tag team ranks. They tried to sign Rick Martel away but I managed to keep him. 5 year deal, over $42,000 a month.

 

But than, on the day of Wrestlemania 5, Hulk Hogan agrees to a contract with them!!! He's been my figure head since day one, held the World title four times, always at the top of the card. I believe I made the mistake of not giving him creative control and that's what lost him.

 

In other news, Ric Flair has held the World title since June of 1988. The feud between his Horsemen and Bret Hart's Hart Foundation was intense, both in the ring and outside of it. Backstage fights, epic matches, Hart being upset with Flair for botching a move and almost injuring him. Best and most fun feud I've ever booked in any EWR/TEW game.

 

Rick Rude and Jake Roberts took advantage of the Horsemen/Hart feud by winning the tag titles and Rude winning the Intercontinental title. They're defending the tag titles against The Rock and Roll Express at Wrestlemania and Rude will also defend the IC title against Magnum T.A.

 

Shawn Michaels split away from Marty Jannetty, and joined the Four Horsemen after Chris Benoit was kicked out. Looking forward to the feud between those two when Benoit's injury is healed.

 

Jerry Lawler joined the WWF in July 1988. However, he's been a bit of a letdown. His feuds with Big John Studd, Kerry Von Erich, and Paul Orndorff have yet to produce anything good at all.

 

Scott Hall finally came back from filming a movie. I forgot to switch him over to Razor Ramon and am currently looking for a way to get him off TV again and make the switch. His feud with Andre the Giant is ending with a career match at Wrestlemania and I'm thinking that Andre's career isn't over yet.

 

The Undertaker debuted a few years earlier than in real life, but in the same way, with Ted DiBiase bringing him out at Survivor Series. He's been undefeated since then, going 17-0, putting the majority of his victims in bodybags. He has his sights set on the legend Harley Race, going as far as showing Race the special body bag he has ready for him.

 

Still having tons of fun with this save. Four years, 432 shows. Hogan being signed by WCW is going to be a challenge but with the way I've been booking the WWF, going more towards pure wrestling rather than whatever they had going on in the late 80s/early 90s is a change and should mean that losing Hogan hopefully won't hurt too bad.

 

Plus, I'm pissed he signed with them on the day of Wrestlemania!

I decided to fire up TEW again while I have some time at home away from the road. I went with The Mod Squad's excellent WCW Lives mod set in May 2001. This was not only a really exciting time in wrestling when a lot of great matches were taking place around the world but a lot of young talent were starting to debut. People whose history has already been written, so we know what they're capable of. In that regard I've been signing a lot of guys to NWA: Wildside to hopefully bring in a youth movement within the next year to a very aging WCW roster.

 

I was able to bring The Macho Man in to work mostly promo's and work an occasional match here and there. I'm using him very much like WWE used Undertaker (special attraction). I had to push the first PPV event back a few weeks in order for Booker T to be healthy enough to defend the World Heavyweight title. I don't like having the top champion off of a PPV, it doesn't feel right.

 

I really like the tag team division WCW has going on: Mysterio / Kidman, Jindrak / Stasiak, Brian Adams / Bryan Clark (when they come back from injury), Palumbo / O'Haire, Eli Skipper / Kid Romeo, Big Vito / Johnny the Bull and Lance Storm / Chris Candido.

 

Storm and Candido just recently won the titles from Palumbo and O'Haire at WCW The Big Bang. Buff Bagwell won the vacant (I vacated it as Booker T was champion) United States championship in the finals of a tournament against Hugh Morrus. Chavo Guerrero Jr. beat Shane Helms for the Cruiserwieght title. Booker T retained his championship against Scott Steiner.

 

I'm trying to use Sting, Flair, and Nash as guys who are bringing up younger workers. I've been booking a lot of tag matches and 3v3 matches. Nitro is being ran live on Tuesday's unopposed to any WWF programming. We have coverage in every area besides Canada for TV and Events.

 

I lost $98k in May but I think it was because I was still trying to figure out the roster (which I made cuts to) and our production values were a bit high for a Cult promotion. We should see a small gain in June and every month from now on.

<p>On the Default data continuing my CZCW save. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Background</span></strong></span></p><p>

A lot has changed over the past 2 and a half years, CZCW is at Cult and on it's new owners network. (I wanted to create my self a new scenario and use up stars that were becoming available before they get too old the next time around/ or retire. After the first year I noticed a story that could be made. </p><p> </p><p>

TCW were losing pop, losing stars.. I was able to get a relationship with them to loan their talent in year 1, they continued to go down and unable to resign there guys to writtens.. so from that I decide that my user who is the owner, set up his own network that covered multiple areas to a medium level. Needing to fill up air time he give CZCW some air time in the male dominated days and time. Not long after that GSW and MAW were going out of buisness, I bought them as devs, unable to use for a while until i found a reasonable point to make CZCW cult. Figured the network deal showing CZCW events on commercial TV would make us Cult.</p><p> </p><p>

With CZCW at cult we needed to pull off the biggest risk in the companies history, a risk that if not handled perfectly could spell the end of the company, making the ump to cult meant a lot more star power was needed, however done in a way that didn't annoy the loyal fans by bringing in all new stars and relegating the old favourites.</p><p> </p><p>

We done the next logical step in that regard and signed as many top TCW guys as we could to PPA, a couple to Writtens, whilst rewarding the originals with written deals. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Development</span></span></strong></p><p>

year 2 was bringing in the TCW guys.. Year 3 was looking to the future and looking solidify the Cult status for the future. The devs were filled with a mix of young workers who could become great in ring, as well as young workers with very good to Great SQ potential to develop into future stars. </p><p> </p><p>

This year, after the success and growth of CZCW on the network, its viewers growing and create a real demand for wrestling with the male demographic both GSW an MAW were granted network shows for it's events. The aim that the CZCW crowd will follow over the other shows. It will also allow the youngster and foreign stars to gain exposure before coming to the main roster.</p><p> </p><p>

Canadian and Japanese stars coming up for contract were signed, most were send down to developmental to get some higher US pop, help train the youngster and wait until I start their debuts on the main roster.</p><p> </p><p>

Spencer Spade has been my most recent signing, his size fits decently well, he was underutilised by SWF stuck in the midcard not doing anything, and with 92 SQ he was too good to let slip past. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:18px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Current Roster Plans</span></strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

The roster still has the Daredevil lightweights at it's core however with the move up to cult, and quick expansion, a lot of people were signed to take the company to the next level, a bloated roster is to be trimmed and the heavier weights will be let go over the next year. </p><p> </p><p>

More heavyweights were introduced, most of which are name guys brought in to make stars out of my lighter weights and young guys.</p><p> </p><p>

Eventually we hope to see a company where 90 percent o the roster are Middleweight or below. 50 percent of the roster at least are Lightweights.</p><p> </p><p>

I want to have a couple of heavyweight guys to be the monsters and to overall keep a little diversity in the roster. maybe rotating in a big/super heavyweight every couple of months.</p><p> </p><p>

We believe that you need heavyweights in there to contrast with the lightweights to make it very obvious how talented the lightweights are.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:18px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Main Storyline</strong></span></span></p><p> </p><p>

The Mian story we are using to bridge the changes between old school regional CZCW and new Cult CZCW is the TCW guys. The TCW guys signed have formed together to reveal there plan of taking over CZCW, they blame us as one of the reason why TCW is dieing a slow death and want to take over CZCW or Kill it trying. </p><p> </p><p>

We have TCW guys v CZCW v The guys in the middle. </p><p> </p><p>

TCW top guy Jay Chord and his allies showed their hand after they hospitalised the owner and champion the time Chris "Flash" Hart. Chord winning the title and taking out the owner i nte process. after a couple of months where The NEW Wave took the Tag title and Chord asserted his dominance, Flash managed to get the originals like Cali Love Machine, Storm Spillane, Marvel Mallow, Fox Mask and Remmy Sky to band together to save the company. </p><p> </p><p>

We have Cali Love Machine taking the role o the top CZCW guy being managed by former rival Chris Flash Hart to realise his dream and help CZCW by defeating Chord for the CZCW Championship </p><p> </p><p>

Cali Love Machine has been my project taking him from midcard to Main event level and the Jerry Lawler of the South West. Taking the Extreme title, and the COTT title from my Owner and now on the road to being th CZCW World Champion. His SQ isn't there to Figurehead but he's good enough to have a run or two, his performances are good enough to remain in or around the Main event scene. </p><p> </p><p>

Fox Mask and Flying Jimmy Fox are feuding to try and take the Extreme title for their side from guy in the middle of everything Jacob Jett (Jet is rising as one of my most over guys) </p><p> </p><p>

Remmy Sky v Nate Johnson- Nate Johnson is one of my most over guys, hes old and here purely to hold up the star power and give the rub and his pop to Remmy, make Remmy one of my top 5 guys.</p><p> </p><p>

American Cobra (Storm and Marvel) v The New Wave- The New Wave are bullying the rest of the roster and hold the title, putting in some high quality performances too. They will be used to get Cobra mega over Marvel is putting on some great performances. </p><p> </p><p>

..........</p><p> </p><p>

Other Notes</p><p> </p><p>

My plan is to take TCWs spot as the number 3 promotion in the US, TCW is dieing and look like to go down to regional eventually. </p><p> </p><p>

Usually editing to get to this point would feel cheap and would ruin the save for me, but on this rare occasion it made sense to a point and was better then not going back to the save. Also fun to try and make CZCW a true alternative. I'm pushing guys I wouldn't usually, most of a roster full of guy that I wouldn't push or push as hard if I start with USPW/SWF/ TCW etc.</p>

<p>Thanks for calling the WCW Wrestling Hotline! For the Ross Report, Press 1. For Jim Cornette's Insults of The Week, Press 2. For Paul E. Dangerously's Pay-Per-View Recap For Cheapskates, Press 3. And for a Special Message from Sting, Press 4.</p><p> </p><p>

*Deet*</p><p> </p><p>

Welcome to the Ross Report. This is the day alot of you fans have been waiting for. If you read any of the magazines, fanzines, or have recently called in to any of the other wrestling hotlines out there, you've no doubt heard rumors surrounding the recent departures of some of our athletes. Specifically, Johnny Ace, Big Boss Rogers, Shane Douglas, and The Freebirds. Some say we're 'hemorrhaging talent', that there are morale problems in the locker room, or that we can't afford to match the rival offers from up north.</p><p> </p><p>

He's the truth behind the situation. Wrestling is a business. When the contracts of Ace, Rogers, and Douglas came up for renewal, Head of Talent Relations Paul Jones made them an offer for what he and the WCW Executive Committee thought they were worth. The competition gave them better offers. Paul Jones went to the higher-ups to match or beat these offers, and the Executive Committee refused. It's not that we couldn't beat New York's offers, it's that, well, as one unnamed member of the Committee said 'They need them more than we do.' Again, their words, not mine. Now, as far as rumors of poor morale, well, Johnny Ace brought pizza for the whole lockeroom on his last night.</p><p> </p><p>

As talented as these men are, WCW has what I would say is the most talented top-to-bottom roster in the history of the sport. We'll miss these men, but this just gives more opportunity for some of our younger talent, like Jerry Lynn, Dustin Rhodes, Cactus Jack, not to mention the fresh talent developing in our farm league down in Georgia.</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks for listening. Call back next week and I'll tell you about a Stunning young man from Texas that just signed up to our Development Program.</p><p> </p><p>

*Doot*</p><p>

Allright, you recording? I'm only gonna do this once.</p><p>

Paul E Dangerously was so ugly as a baby, his mother breastfed him through a straw.</p><p> </p><p>

When Sting was a kid, his parents gave him a radio and a toaster for bath toys.</p><p> </p><p>

Lex Luger is so fat, last time we were in New York him and Sting went to the top of the Empire State Building, planes started to attack 'im.</p><p> </p><p>

When Paul E Dangerously was born, the doctor took a look at 'im, turned 'im over and said "Look, twins!"</p><p> </p><p>

Ric Flair is so old, his insurance company only sends him half a calendar.</p><p> </p><p>

Paul E Dangerously's so ugly, when he opens the door on Halloween, kids hand him candy.</p><p> </p><p>

Lex Luger is so fat, last time he went to the beach, people tried to roll 'im back into the water.</p><p> </p><p>

OK, last one, Paul E Dangerously is so stupid, I told 'im "Next time you call me, if I don't pick up, leave a voicemail." 2 days later I catch 'im yellin' into my mailbox.</p><p> </p><p>

*Beep*</p><p> </p><p>

So, you're too cheap to buy a Pay-Per-View, but you're too impatient to wait for WCW Magazine? We'll you're in the right place! This is Paul E. Dangerously's Pay-Per-View Recaps For Cheapskates!</p><p>

Here's what you missed on WCW Vs The World:</p><p> </p><p>

17,000 Japanese fans packed into the Fukuoka Kokusai Center for a show featuring not just WCW superstars, but some of the top talent from both major wrestling companies in Japan.</p><p> </p><p>

In the opening bout, Jushin Thunder Liger defeated Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, and the defending champion The Ultimate Dragon for the NWA Junior Heavyweight title. It may not seem like it for US Fans, but this match was a big deal for the Japanese wrestling audience. It was the only match with representatives from both New Japan Pro Wrestling, and All Japan Pro Wrestling, with Dean Malenko representing All Japan, Liger and Benoit representing New Japan, and The Ultimate Dragon being the hottest lightweight free-agent in Japan.</p><p> </p><p>

Next, Tiger Mask and Toshiaki Kawada of All Japan defeated Scott Hall and Shawn Michaels by disqualification. This up-and-coming duo were simply too much for Hall and Michaels to handle. They weren't prepared for the stiff kicks and devastating chops common to the Japanese style of wrestling, and got themselves disqualified by flagrant interference from their manager Mike Rotundo.</p><p> </p><p>

Chigusa Nagayo defended the NWA World Women's Title from Wendi Richter. Wendi may be the most popular female wrestler in the States, but Nagayo is even more popular here in her homeland. The Japanese crowd was happy to see her defend her title.</p><p> </p><p>

Then, we had Lex Luger defeat New Japan's Masahiro Chono. Chono-san has been pegged as one of Japan's future superstars. Only in the business for 5 years, he's already won three prestigious tournaments and a variety of singles and tag titles. Even with all this, The Torture Rack was still too much for him.</p><p> </p><p>

After that, The Road Warriors defeated Terry Funk and Akira Maeda. US fans may not know it, but both The Road Warriors and Terry Funk have a long history in Japan, All Japan specifically, and the fans in Fukuoka were excited to see them again. This was a wild, bloody match that ended with Terry Funk on the wrong end of a Doomsday Device.</p><p> </p><p>

Following that was the even wilder, even bloodier, Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody vs. The Steiner Brothers for the NWA World Tag Team Titles. Man, Hansen and Brody's entrance was a sight to see, Brody waving an All Japan flag, Hansen swinging a bullrope around, going through the crowd, terrorizing the fans. Our lawyers won't let 'em do that here in the states. Anyhow, a great match that ended with the adopted local heroes winning the championships with a King Kong Knee Drop.</p><p> </p><p>

And then we had Curt Hennig take on Yoshiaki Yatsu in a technical showcase. Yoshiaki Yatsu is arguably the best mat technician in Japan, being both a former Olympic Athlete, and holding New Japan's Grand Prix Heavyweight Championship for most of this year. He and The Perfect Athlete put on a mat-based masterclass for the attentive Japanese crowd.</p><p> </p><p>

Next up, we had another Olympic Athlete and a champion across 3 companies and 2 countries, Riki Choshu take on the Human Stampede that is Vader. This match was my pick for the hardest-hitting match of the night with both competitors throwing stiff shots and seemingly trying to break the ring with their power bombs and powerslams. The end came when Vader couldn't recover from an extended Sasori-Gatame, that's a Scorpion Deathlock to you, and was counted out.</p><p> </p><p>

Then we had a big match for the Japanese crowd, with Ted DiBiase facing All Japan's Genichiro Tenryu. For Japanese fans, these two men have a long history. Tenryu made his debut against a young DeBiase in 1976 after being sent to train in Texas. They more recently feuded a few years ago, ending with Tenryu successfully defending the NWA United National Championship against DeBiase. On any other show, this would've been the match of the night, an overall masterpiece of an athletic competition that came to an end with DiBiase using a smartly concealed and expertly applied pair of bass knuckles to get his win back.</p><p> </p><p>

In the Semi-Main-Event, Sting defended the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Hiroshi Hase. Hase has a lot in common with Sting- Both have been in the sport for about the same amount of time, both are naturally likeable, charismatic, and have become exceptionally popular with their respective audiences during their short careers. Though while Sting comes from a body building background, Hiroshi Hase is an Olympic wrestler, 10th best in the world in 1984, and while Sting has spent most of his career in WCW, Hase has travelled the globe, spending time in both major Japanese companies, as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. If I'm honest, and I always am, this match was a little underwhelming. I mean, it was good, but sandwiched between two masterpieces like it was, kind of highlighted their inexperience. </p><p> </p><p>

And finally, in the main event, The Nature Boy Ric Flair vs Tatsumi Fujinami. This. THIS was an all-time, for the highlight reels, fans will be going back and re-watching this again and again for decades, absolute pinnacle of the sport. It had mat-wizardry, it had blood, it had near-falls, near-submissions, it had everything you could possibly want in a wrestling match. One of the best matches I've ever seen in my life and if you don't put down $19.95 for the home video release, you can turn off WCW forever and go watch Hulk Hogan flex for 10 minutes and hug his opponent for the other 2 minutes of every match because you're not a real wrestling fan.</p><p> </p><p>

That wraps it up for WCW vs The World. Call back in a month or so for all the news from Starrcade 89 that you were too cheap to see live!</p><p> </p><p>

Hey kids, it's your old pal, The Stinger. It's winter time again, while that may mean great times playing in the snow, always be careful around frozen ponds, lakes, or rivers. They may not be as sturdy as they look. If one of your friends does fall in, don't go on the ice, that'll just make it worse. Find a branch or something to help pull them to safety. Remember kids, be careful around frozen bodies of water, you might just be skating on thin ice.</p>

Due to Pillman currently being busy in a feud already with Shawn Michaels he won't be challenging for the tag team titles with Raven so instead the third member of the Misfit Krew stable, Kanyon will be the man to do so. Once I eventually give the belts to The Misfit Krew they will feud with some of my top face tag teams such as The Bodydonnas and Stars & Stripes.</p>
