What's going on in your game?

Big Mark Smark · December 24, 2016

Playing WCW lives, mostly as you'd expect.

Except that I just sent a young CM Punk to rehab for help with his soft drugs problem.

Both of which I've found as being fairly cheap ways of getting good grades with cheap workers, using High Spots/Eye Candy match aims. My cruiserweight division has been headlined by Kamikaze (punk) Devyn Reynaud (black power) & Sonny Wildside (adult star) all of which have developed greatly as workers, and would find themselves at least Lower Midcarders in any of the other US promotions. Donnie J came in for a while (as suave ladies man DJ Savage) to prop up the division, but Kamikaze stood out from the pack to take the belt at the end of 2016. I've just snagged Jefferson Stardust from SWF (first of many big signings now money is looking good). He'll be repackaged as something risky, to match my fanbase's preferences. My Stargirl division was originally to be headlined by Alina America (now Alina Cruz, degenerate) but she just kept getting into trouble. First fights with Lily Snyder (nun) got the latter one fired. Then she seriously injured Millie the minx (cute nerd 'Knoble Price'). Then she got seriously injured herself. Her role is likely to be taken over by Teresa Perez (slut 'Cinnamon Angel') whose team with Houston Handley ('Winchester Rose') has been a surprise hit. One year in an I'm having tons of fun. I'd run these products before, but never together, and never with a television schedule. Money has been tough, but the fanbase has grown, and securing a bigger network for our 4 annual PPV's has been great. P.S. Devious Doctor Fang is my new favourite worker. So devious...</div></blockquote> Christmas eve update! I've hit the 2 year point and stuff has occurred. We're now crazy profitable. Despite numerous pay rise requests, our roster is relatively cheap, allowing us to up production values to (almost) max. Eat your heart out USPW. I've decided to move television to NetStream, so we can move into Canada. Ratings are lower than they were, but I'm thinking it'll pay off once I can sell PPV's up there. In the women's division, I'm officially bored of Cinnamon Angel & Winchester Rose (QAW's Tex-Mex) but nothing I do to replace them on top seems to work. Sara Marie York refuses to do the risque matches & angles required of a Stargirl champion, so is stuck on the undercard. FoXXXy LaRue has bad chemistry with half the roster. Knoble Price returned from injury with a Jesus push... and a painkiller addiction. Alina Cruz is back in a few weeks. Fingers crossed she'll freshen things up. In the cruiserweight division, it's been the year of Jefferson Stardust (now vampiric 'Jackson Vale'). Great promo. Great worker. He's raised the game considerably. If I renew his contract, I'll likely figurehead him. I also picked up Edd Stone in a heated bidding war, although his feud with Vale hit a snag with their excellent tag team chemistry. The big problem I'm facing is egos. Who knew that pushing youngsters to the moon on National television would create egomaniacs? Sonny Wildside has already asked for his release, unhappy about losing a few times. Aldous Blackfriar will likely follow soon. I gotta do something, lest I lose Vars, Reynaud, and my beloved Devious Doctor Fang. I ended the year bringing in a few older, humble, cruiserweights like K-Squared (finally a promotion where Kenny Kuntz can use his real name) and Flying Jimmy Fox (now religious preacher James Fosworth IV). Looks like 2018 will be the year for the 30+ year olds.

Millsybeast · December 25, 2016

I've been struggling with staying with a game for some time, but I think I might have found a game that I will enjoy. Basically I am Paul Heyman and I'm the owner of a revived ECW. I brought in all the old ECW Regulars that I could, but alot of them are Occasional Wrestlers, so I figured I would save them for big time matches.

The only problem is that I'm not sure about PPV Names and am currently running only a PPV Show a month, as most of the talent is on PPA Deals (I'm Cult) bar a few which I'll mention later. I have a monthly PPV, ECW Hardcore Heaven which is going to go on each month and go up in Numerals. I still haven't figured out what my first PPV matches are, I signed a fair few indy wrestlers plus a few more. Eventually, after maybe a year in-game time, I'll look into ECW PPV Names, by then I'll know that I'm sticking with it.

In terms of Roster, I took a few liberties, being Heyman. I used my 'Influence' to get CM Punk and April Brooks out of retirement, while also getting in Ronda Rousey. Right now I have no Womens Division, so April is Punks Manager and Ronda will just made a few appearances from time to time. But should I decide to have a division, those two will be key. Other notable stars include Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr, RVD, The Dudleys, Tommy Dreamer, Adam Cole & Gangrel.

I have three titles right now, with the possibility to add another one for the Women if need be. The Heavyweight Title, Tag Titles and TV Title. Right now the tag Division consists of RVD & Sabu, Dudleys, The Addiction, The Hart Dynasty (Bruce Hart Jr/Matt Hart), Kai En tai, The Mexicools & Part-Timers The Steiner Brothers. I'll be looking to expand pretty soon though!

Hopefully it should be a fun game that gets me back into playing it. My aim right now is to sign people to PPA deals mainly and focus on making the younger wrestlers get noticed by top companies, maybe in a bit we can eventually challenge said companies, but who knows!

SWF Save August 2016. I decided to write out the Jungle Rumble match to figure out what I was going to do in it. Jungle Rumble is a Royal Rumble style match.

The winner of the Jungle Rumble wins a contract that allows them to challenge the SWF World Heavyweight Championship to a title match any time before the next Supreme Challenge. The challenger must give at least a 24-hour advance notice of his intentions of challenging for the title.

1. Valiant

2. Squeeky McClean

Valiant has been on a losing streak that has continued when he lost to The Crippler in a 1 vs. 30 match to determine the first and last entrant in the Jungle Rumble. Valiant’s pre match interview showed his usual confidence in the face of the adversity. Squeeky McClean got the unlucky draw of number two in the Jungle Rumble. The two faced off for the first two minutes without either coming close to eliminating the other.

3. Eric Eisen

Eric Eisen has teamed up with Squeeky McClean as part of the Supremacy, a group focused on making SWF great again. Eisen hits the ring and the double team against Valiant is on. Valiant starts to make a comeback but as the countdown for the next participant hits zero, the Eisen and McClean are dangerously close to pushing Valiant over the top.

4. Mikey Lau

Lau and McClean have been battled for over six months now and while it looked like Lau had closed the door on the feud with a victory at Supreme Challenge, that didn’t stop Lau from going immediately after McClean to break up the elimination attempt of Valiant. After taking McClean to the opposite corner, Valiant manages to get the upper hand on Eisen and eliminate him.

After eliminating Eisen, Valiant took a breather in the corner as McClean and Lau continued to brawl in the opposite corner during the countdown.

5. Spencer Spade

Spade enters and goes immediately after Valiant resting in the corner. The fresh Spade easily gets the upper hand and has Valiant down in the corner taking stomps. Spade leaves the corner and turns around into a super kick from Lau who has McClean down in the opposite corner. As the countdown begins, Lau is the only one up as everyone is laid out.

6. Robbie Retro

The third member of Supremacy hits the ring… and is almost immediately thrown over the top by Mikey Lau

As Lau and Retro were yelling at each other, McClean got to his feet and tossed Lau over the top from the behind

Spade and McClean start to get into a pushing match over who gets to attack Valiant allowing Valiant to get to his feet and start to attack both men. Valiant has the upper hand as the countdown begins.

7. Ekuma

The rookie Ekuma debuted at the Supreme TV after Supreme Challenge and hit the ring immediately going after Valiant and knocking him down in the center of the ring. Ekuma and Valiant continued to brawl when suddenly Vengeance’s music hits. There’s still plenty of time before the next entrant but Vengeance was making his way down to the ring. Valiant notices after a takedown on Ekuma and begins yelling for Vengeance to come get some. As Valiant is distracted, Spencer Spade makes his way to his feet and tosses Valiant over the top rope and eliminates him.

As Valiant hits the floor, Vengeance stands over him and begins to laugh. Valiant makes his way to his feet and the brawl between Vengeance and Valiant starts to spill into the crowd. The competitors in the ring continue the match as the countdown starts but the focus is definitely on the brawl in the crowd.

8. Huey Cannonball

Cannonball makes his way to the ring but the Vengeance and Valiant brawl has made its way towards a production area. Vengeance gets a hold of Valiant’s throat and teases a choke slam through a production table but Valiant reverses it and puts Vengeance through the table with a snap DDT. Valiant stands over Vengeance and gets a huge pop from the crowd. As the camera goes back to the ring, Cannonball and Ekuma are being beatdown by McClean and Spade respectively when the countdown for the next entrant starts.

9. Hailama Hua (High Flyin Hawaiian)

Hua debuted as a lackey for Spencer Spade’s Double Trouble stable and comes down to the ring and immediately helps Spade beatdown on Ekuma. The heels (Spade, McClean and Hua) keep the faces (Cannonball, Ekuma) down for the two minutes as the next entrant makes his way to the ring.

10. Marat Khoklov

The monster Marat Khoklov comes to the ring and attacks anyone that moves. Hailama Hua is the last one standing and is easily tossed out of the ring by Khoklov

12. Matty Faith

The RIPW Champion Matty Faith makes his entrance and gets a huge pop from the Christian Faith loyalists in the crowd. Faith slowly walks down to the ring as Marat Khoklov starts laughing and waiting for Faith to make his way to the ring. Faith slowly gets up the steps and is very tentative about coming through the ropes. Khoklov continues laughing and telling Faith to bring it. As Faith is about to come through the ropes the Awesomeness gets back to their feet and makes another run at Khoklov. Faith finally comes through the ropes and tries to get a few shots in but is intercepted by Spencer Spade who drags him into the corner. Khoklov brushes off the Awesomeness again and starts towards the corner to get his hands on Matty Faith

13. Jack Bruce

Jack Bruce sprints down to the ring and goes after Khoklov immediately. Bruce pulls Khoklov off Faith and starts to hit him from behind. Khoklov gains his senses and pushes Bruce into the corner then turns around into an Awesomeness super kick that leaves him staggering. Bruce finally gets Khoklov down to the ground with a DDT.

Jefferson Stardust eliminated by Marat Khoklov

Stardust and Cannonball both stumble to their feet and begin to argue on the floor and it turns into a shoving match. The referees separate them as the countdown begins again.

15. Jungle Lord

Jungle Lord comes out and he’s got his “personal reporter” Haley Buck with him. He stops on the stage and forces Buck to begin an interview. Spade, Marat and Bruce are grappling in the ring as Jungle Lord tells everyone that there’s no way that the Lord of the Jungle could lose in the Jungle Rumble. As Lord continues on and pressures Buck into interviewing him better she beings to stumble over her words making Lord increasingly angry. As the countdown begins, Lord is getting in Buck’s face and screaming at her.

Millsybeast · December 28, 2016

Just got into 2018 as the SWF, and I'm enjoying this game alot actually. I signed 90% of the talent that I could, which means I have a bloated main event scene, but most people have something to do

Aaron Andrews (Heel): Just won the SWF Title from Rocky Golden in Decembers PPV. He might have a shorter reign, but not sure who he'll lose it to yet.

Angry Gilmore (Face): Training up Midcarders in the midcard division, had a solid run as TV Champion when I had the title running.

Bryan Vessey (Heel): I got him in late last year, but he's teaming with Cameron vessey right now.

Christian Faith (Face): I resigned him out of retirement to help out, and now I'm looking for a Tag Team partner to put him in the Tag division. He mentors Ranger too, which is neat.

Duane Stone (Face): I literally signed him 2/3 months ago and have no idea what to do with him yet. Just been giving him wins on TV. Maybe could do something with Edd Stone eventually.

Eddie Peak (Heel): I treat him as a badass, he was undefeated for the longest time and set to possibly have a title run last year but then he got injured and Rocky became champion instead. In Time Decline so wont be anywhere near the title now unfortunately.

Eric Eisen (Heel): Eisen is my User Character. I plan on him winning the World Title at some point and having a decently long reign before retiring as a wrestler shortly after using it. I lead a stable called the Eisen Empire, which features Gargantuan, The Silencer, Hollywood Bret Starr & Gregory Keith.

Gargantuan (Heel): Talking of him, Gargantuan was my pet project because of his 100 Menace. I thought I could make him into a decent wrestler, but if not then I could use his menace in angles to my advantage. Surprisingly enough he hasn't improved that much, but other main eventers still manage to get good 80-90 ratings out of him. He is rather good on the Mic though.

Jack Bruce (Face): Surprisingly enough, he isn't on time decline yet, which is good. He is in the Tag Division though with Jack Avatar as the Jumping Jacks (Yeah I know it's stupid). Hopefully he can teach Jack Avatar the skills needed to be a main event star, because he looks like he could be good.

James Justice (Face): I brought him in in March, but honestly either keep forgetting about him or just don't know what to do with him. He was unbeaten until pretty recently, but he isn't a good wrestler anymore, so I'm going to be jobbing him down the card, because his 88 pop might be usefull for someone else.

Joey Morgan (Face): After his decent North American Title Run, he rose into the main event scene after a good feud, albeit on the losing end, against Vengeance. Since then though he hasn't really done much, with him usually being involved in a 3v3 match I usually put on the card.

Nicky Champion (Face): The Undefeated 'People Champion' has yet to win a title here, or even have a title shot. He has been looking out for the 'common people' or Midcarders/Lower Midcard guys, trying to help them. Eventually he will rise to the top and challenge the Champion though.

Remo (Heel): Remo had a bad 2017, spending a bit of it out injured, then returning but not doing much. This year he could be having a 'Big' match at Supreme Challenge against Gargantuan, depending on if I have his planned Face Turn go ahead. He also Mentors Scythe, which is cool.

Rocky Golden (Face): Just lost his title after 13 defences and a year long reign. Will face Andrews again in January but then will have feuds with Upper Midcarders to help them.

Rogue (Heel): Spent most of this year taking the fall in tag team matches. Should easily have a better 2018.

Sammy Bach (Face): I tried to get Bach into the title picture early on in the year, but he had bad chemistry with a few top guys so I stalled on that. Now he hosts his own Talk Show 'The Sammy Slammys'.

The Crippler (Heel): I had nothing for him to do after he had top feuds and went into time decline so I put him together with some random people in tag matches and him and Paul Huntingdon have excellent chemistry so they're teaming in the Tag Division. He also Mentors Jack Avatar, which is cool.

Valiant (Face): Valiant vanished off the face of the earth for alot of 2017, mainly showing up in the B Show, but yet still manages to have really high pop, so I need to start using him more, maybe in the Tag Division.

Vengeance (Heel): Teams with his 'Protege' Scythe as the Forces Of Darkness in the Tag Division. It's pretty much where he will stay, being on time decline.

Wolf Hawkins (Heel): Steadily gaining traction, undefeated after a short while in the company. I have no clue what to do with him yet, but since he's only 31 there is plenty of time for him. I might even let him have a North American title run too sometime.

So yeah, the Main Event scene is massive and eventually the older people will be retiring or pushed down the card. I also have a Shooting Star Division (Like Cruiserweights), Tag Team Division and plan on making a Womens Division this year too. This is looking to be a fun year!

sabataged · December 28, 2016

I just bought out 21CW as they were something like 21 Million in debt. Now I guess I am going to change my brand split into a 3 way brand split since I am taking on about 15 of their guys. I will call up about 10 more from some of the 5 or 6 developmental companies I have.

Eat your heart out USPW. I've decided to move television to NetStream, so we can move into Canada. Ratings are lower than they were, but I'm thinking it'll pay off once I can sell PPV's up there. In the women's division, I'm officially bored of Cinnamon Angel & Winchester Rose (QAW's Tex-Mex) but nothing I do to replace them on top seems to work. Sara Marie York refuses to do the risque matches & angles required of a Stargirl champion, so is stuck on the undercard. FoXXXy LaRue has bad chemistry with half the roster. Knoble Price returned from injury with a Jesus push... and a painkiller addiction. Alina Cruz is back in a few weeks. Fingers crossed she'll freshen things up. In the cruiserweight division, it's been the year of Jefferson Stardust (now vampiric 'Jackson Vale'). Great promo. Great worker. He's raised the game considerably. If I renew his contract, I'll likely figurehead him. I also picked up Edd Stone in a heated bidding war, although his feud with Vale hit a snag with their excellent tag team chemistry. The big problem I'm facing is egos. Who knew that pushing youngsters to the moon on National television would create egomaniacs? Sonny Wildside has already asked for his release, unhappy about losing a few times. Aldous Blackfriar will likely follow soon. I gotta do something, lest I lose Vars, Reynaud, and my beloved Devious Doctor Fang. I ended the year bringing in a few older, humble, cruiserweights like K-Squared (finally a promotion where Kenny Kuntz can use his real name) and Flying Jimmy Fox (now religious preacher James Fosworth IV). Looks like 2018 will be the year for the 30+ year olds.</div></blockquote> I love everything about this.

I just staged a kayfabe injury and guess what... I'm stuck with a real one. I was shooting for a bruised nose but got a frontal bone fracture. Yikes. <img alt="

Finally got all my storylines set up with my three way brand split

HRTVAndrew · December 28, 2016

Smark Friendly Wrestling rolls on, and I've just started the money feud that will headline the next six in-game months of my save. In one corner, current SFW World Champion Eddie Peak, coming off a successful title defense against Guide in a dog collar match. In the other corner, Marat Khoklov, who demolished Sean McFly at Season's Greetings (the big December show) and has not lost since signing with SFW several months ago. This is going to be a LOT of fun to play out, and I'm really excited to do that.

I've also just poached Joshua Taylor from TCW (boy, are THEY bleeding talent; on my roster alone, I've poached Peak, Taylor, Aaron Andrews, Guide, and Edd Stone!). It probably helped that I already had Tracy Brendon (his wife) on the roster. I've currently got him programmed with Aaron Andrews, and I envision him being a main-event mainstay since his ringwork fits my booking philosophy.

I changed both the Cruiserweight and Women's titles at the big show. First, El Mitico, Jr., regained the first belt from Greg Gauge in a cage match. This capped off a storyline between Mitico and The Uprising (Gauge, Ernest Youngman, and Kirk Jameson), and right now, all four guys have popularity hovering around 60. All four will be big pieces going forward, and with some of my core guys getting up there in age, developing new guys that can carry the ball when asked is a big priority.

Additionally, I pulled a bit of a shock in the women's ranks. I had Sara Marie York, who had not been pinned or made to submit in months, defend her title in a four-way match that also included Melody, Demelza Wade, and Nadia Snow. Wade pinned Snow in what I tried to represent as a plan between the two partners to ensure one won the title, and that finally caused York and Melody to join forces after the match (after bickering for weeks before it). I still plan on putting those two against one another at some point (maybe the big June show that'll also feature the Peak-Khoklov blow-off), but this was a fun story to run, so I did it.

As far as new signings are concerned, I picked up Roderick Remus and put him in a tag team with Aldous Blackfriar, simply because there weren't many heel tag teams besides my current champs (Super Ninja and Silver Tiger). I approached Remus early in my game about a developmental deal, but he wasn't interested, so I waited until he developed a bit to sign him. Both are decent prospects, so it made sense. I also made a play for Angry Gilmore, but SOTBPW, which desperately needs top talent after Champagne Lover left for a year to film a movie, signed him to a ridiculous deal (something like $40k a month). Meanwhile, I called up Jack Avatar and Tanyu Toshusai from developmental. Tanyu didn't develop nearly as much as I'd hoped, but I've got a working agreement with PGHW, and he's very valuable in talent trades since he's got some popularity in Japan.

We're into February 2017, and we've got a new SFW World Champion. Marat Khoklov beat Eddie Peak, clean as a sheet, at On Thin Ice (our early-February show). The match actually wasn't bad (82), as Khoklov has gained enough psychology to be useful in matches called in the ring. As mentioned, this storyline will continue to SFW Summer Festival, the biggest show of the year (which takes place in early-June), and for the moment, I've added Joshua Taylor to it, since he beat Aaron Andrews in a #1 contender match at On Thin Ice.

Other big news: Melody pinned Demelza Wade for the Women's title in a triple threat match that also included Sara Marie York. The two worked together (albeit uneasily) in that storyline, but now, the focus will shift to Summer Festival, where my two best female workers will go one-on-one for the title. Face vs. face storylines can be tricky, but I'm really looking forward to this one. Heck, Sara's popularity is around 70 nationwide, making her more over than about 85% of the male roster!

I also made a pretty noteworthy turn at On Thin Ice. Art Reed had been teaming with Clark Alexander, and they even won the tag titles together for a short time last year. However, with Alexander's contract up and him in a very steep decline, I had no use for the tag team anymore. Aldous Blackfriar and Roderick Remus beat them clean at On Thin Ice, and Reed snapped after the match, turning heel and setting him up to work good matches with my upper-midcard tier of faces (Edd Stone and Frankie Perez, specifically; those'll be really fun to watch!).

Also, I'm happy to report that Koshiro Ino is back healthy. He tore his rotator cuff weeks after signing with me last year, but thanks to surgery, his 12-month recovery time got cut to just under nine months (I WAS able to keep him on the air as my commissioner, where he contributed to some fun segments from time to time). He beat Guide at On Thin Ice (thankfully, I had nothing else for Guide to do!), and I've got Ino pegged as a top-tier babyface for a while to come. He's not Eddie Peak or Joshua Taylor-level popular, but he's not far off, either.

You may notice a lot of my guys are former TCW stars. If you've seen the TCW thread elsewhere on this forum, you'll know that I brought up their tricky economic situation. Since my last writing, it's only gotten worse. I signed Elmo Benson (probably for too much money), and will be reuniting High Concept, his tag team with Greg Black. Additionally, USPW signed both Human Arsenal and Danny Fonzarelli. As such, in the last year-plus, TCW has lost the following guys: Eddie Peak, Aaron Andrews, Joshua Taylor, Edd Stone, Guide, Elmo Benson, Human Arsenal, and Danny Fonzarelli. Yeah, they're, um...in BIG trouble.

While my top guys are long-term stalwarts of the industry, I'm also really happy about some of the younger guys that are breaking out. Gino Montero, for instance, is between 65-70 in popularity around the country, and when autopushing everyone (as I do from time to time), the game put him at the main event level, which stunned me. Yes, he's a terrific worker and a future star, but a main event-level guy after a bit more than a year? Wow. I've put him in a program with The Uprising (Ernest Youngman, Kirk Jameson, and Greg Gauge), who are just a hair below that in popularity and will all be key figures going forward as well.

I had to cull a few guys from developmental. Felipe Caballero and Marcel LeFleur got released; Caballero had a very low ceiling, while LeFleur just didn't develop nearly enough to where I'd ever use him. Christopher Gerard barely avoided the ax, and was instead called up to be a heel jobber for the time being. The next guy to make that decision about is The Masked Stranger, who's a solid all-around worker I'm not sure I have a spot for. It's not an awful problem to have, but this is where I could really use another TV show that I'll hopefully get moving from Cult to National at some point this year.

Bonafide_Bluffa · December 29, 2016

Started a game as WWE using the August T-Zone data, having a pretty fun time. Now heading into Survivor Series and my planned WM card is shaping up to be a banger.

WWE Championship

John Cena vs. AJ Styles ©

Cena wins his 16th here. Unsure whether to also give Cena a third Rumble win or have him get into the main event through a tournament/elimination chamber.

Universal Championship

Sami Zayn vs. Finn Balor ©

At Summerslam, Balor turned heel and formed the Balor Club w/ Anderson and Gallows when they helped him beat Rollins for the title. Zayn is my other option to win the Rumble here. Not sure who I would put over.

US Championship

Braun Strowman vs. Roman Reigns ©

Had Reigns win the US Title from Rusev just like IRL, but am having him do Cena's open challenge rather than put him into the Universal Title picture. Strowman will eventually answer one of his open challenges (thinking sometime in February), but just beat down Reigns instead of having a match.

Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens

Held off on the Owens push, but kept the JeriKO bit going. Jericho is going around telling people that he and Owens are the best of friends, challenging other teams to matches without consulting Owens first. KO will eventually grow tired of this and turn on him.

Triple H vs. Seth Rollins

HHH will interfere in a Steel Cage match at Survivor Series, where Gallows and Anderson are also banned from ringside, helping Balor retain the title. I'll likely have Rollins call out HHH over the next few months, only to be answered by Stephanie instead, until his return at the Rumble.

Bray Wyatt vs. Goldberg

Recently had Wyatt pin Orton clean and convert him into The Wyatt Family. This win over Goldberg will be the big win to catapult him into the title picture finally.

Dean Ambrose vs. Undertaker

Ambrose is definitely winning this after the debacle that was WM32. Finally gets his big WM win.

Only other big name missing a match is Lesnar. I think I want to give Cesaro the rub as the first man to beat him (Lesnar is going over Goldberg in my game) but I'm unsure how to work that into a story.

Four years into my save with injuries on "extreme", and it's a destruction derby. Several of my favorite Japanese workers like Kunomasu have already called it quits, and even "safe" companies deal with injuries on a bi-weekly basis.

With 5SSW unfortunately out of business, things are looking sweet in 2001:

http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd364/Marginal0/TEW/enter%20the%20golden%20age.jpg

The 9/11 in this world will be a LOT more awesome (luckily), as Quine will defend the title against Hesketh, who is not on the list and - ironically - is one of the "uninjured" workers right now.

Also I wouldn't have Cena win the Rumble because then he'd tie the record with Stone Cold and unless you want to go for Cena having a record breaking year then I don't think he should be the one to break Austin's record. And I know that it is booked a lot on TEW but Shinsuke Nakamura vs Brock Lesnar makes sense and you can build it as a rematch from their 2006 IWGP match and Shinsuke wants revenge on him. Cesaro could be annoyed that he never gets the opportunities he deserves so he wants to make an impact and calls out Brock Lesnar. Other than that Wrestlemania looks to be very good

The year, 2013. Not happy with the direction of the WWE, Ric Flair purchases the rights and Title Belts of the WCW from Vince. In a friendly wager, Flair vows that he can restart the promotion and give Vince a run for his money. A draft occurs (basically turning Smackdown into WCW NITRO). The only catch is that 95% of Flairs workers had to either work at one time for WCW or have made a name for themselves on the INDY scene. Any other worker has to be "Upper Midcard" or below on the current 2013 WWE Roster

These are the main storylines for WCW:

World Title Fued: Bryan Danielson vs Chris Jericho

Tag Title Fued: Mark and Jay Briscoe vs Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed (Xavier Woods)

Other Notables on the roster:

Ric Flair in the Vince Roll

Arn Anderson as Road Agent

J.R. and Booker T as announcers

The Giant (Big Show)

Antonio Cesaro

Kevin Steen

Tyler Black (Seth Rollins)

Jon Moxley (Dean Ambrose)

A very serious Ron Killings (R-Truth)

Joe Hennig (Curtis Axel)

Justin Gabriel

Matt Sydal

Bobby Lashley

The only other WWE regular drafted was the misused Dolf Zigglar, whom Flair will personally manage and set on the road to the Big Gold Belt. This will be a year or two away as his first title run will be with the WCW US Title. His fueding opponent will be Bobby Lashley.

Very excited about this save!!

In my Rising Storms mod game, I'm playing as the WWF. I'm about two months into the game.

Monday, Week 4, Feb. 1991, Taz dies. He was 23. It didn't effect me because he wasn't on my roster, but it was still pretty shocking.

Thursday, Week 4, Feb. 1991, Jim Neidhart dies. He was 34. This had a big impact on me. He was tag champs with Bret, and I was building to a big match at Mania for them. I was also planning on keeping the belts on them for at least another year. The same day he died, I dropped to Cult. I created the Jim Neidhart Memorial Tag Team Cup and held it that night for WWF Superstars. Bret and Owen Hart won the tournament. They're going to have a rematch against Shawn Michaels and Scott Hall at Mania (The Hart Foundation's planned opponents) for the vacant tag titles. I think I'm gonna put the belts on Michaels and Hall via cheating though.

About 14 months into the save a bunch of the top level workers came up for grabs so i found my roster so bloated I was forced into a Brand Split. Less than 2 months later game time I was done with this save. The tedious task of booking so many shows with little game progress grew on me and I quit that save. Now here and I am with SWF in the exact same situation. Sometime in my seconds year I had Rocky Golden, Champagne Lover, Rich Money and Nicky Champion all come up for contracts within a 2 month period. My roster started to get too bloated so I did a Brand Split betwen two shows. Then within the next 30 days game time I had atleast 10 possibly more developmental wrestlers request to be called up. I was looking at an even more bloated roster. I decided to do a three way Brand split as I have never done it before. So far I am going strong with it. I am very much a guy that likes to get everyone on every show. I might leave 2 or 3 off a show but I like to get everyone involved. The brand split is working great so far as I have not got burnt out yet. Sometimes it seems like a lot of shows but I am enjoying the story lines/feuds right now. As for the numbers it is purely organizational. All numbers that start with 100 are for Supreme TV Brand, 200 is Elite TV Brand, and 300 is Uprising TV Brand. It helps me be able to quickly organize the Storylines based on brand so I know what to focus each show. I have a Word Document pulled up to the side of my TEW window (sized down where it fits in the space) with these screen copy/pasted for quick reference. It saves me so much time.

The year is 2021. My company is on top. Jefferson Stardust is the best in the world

Winter8905 · January 1, 2017

Into August 2019 with CZCW at Cult.

My Dev company MAW is over taking me in pop gains. I gave them a weekly TV show in order to give the guys I sent down there more chances to work.

Despite being at Cult Stick to my two shows a month, I like progressing through the months at this speed, One show in the Main PPV, the second event is a B PPV that sets up stuff for the big PPV's and gives wins to the guys who lose at the big PPV's.

in 2020 I'll be setting up a 3rd Even. I'm considering theming it to something. Like 205 Live or something... not a cruiserweight show as that's most of my show anyway but something like that.

..................

At CZCW's Mania (Welcome to the Coastal Zone) in 2019 it finished the TCW invasion angle and everyone from TCW were fired. ( Jay Chord, Tommy Cornell and New Wave were kept but sent on vacation.

Tommy was brought back to do the bidding of my user that defeated him to send him packing, my user will keep him employed to selve him to rub his nose in it. This will provide sympathy to get people to want Tommy to go against my User.

Jay Chord. when he was forced to go, had the look in his eye that he wasn't finished. He was sent packing and hasn't been see n since. I have put him under a mask as the new Arch Nememsis of Masked Cougar... Black Cougar... using Masked Cougars Black mask alt. Jay Chord as Black Cougar will feud with Masked Cougar for most of the rest of the year that will take both men around the California title (midcard), The Extreme title (IC title ) and reluctantly the tag titles. Until the Blow off where Black Cougar will unmask eventually.

Since Welcome to the Coastal Zone there has been an influx of big guys. Dusty Ducont and Hells Bouncer were signed to be the token Big man Hoss Tag Team in the division and the bodyguards for my user.

I looked at Ekuma and seen he could do a good job and would play the role as the face big man, going to test him out and see at what level he can remain at. If he's no higher than Extreme title he'll be Ekuma the Hardcore Hawaiian. A monster with a weapon beating the crap out of everyone would be a tough guy to beat but would require a heel turn. If he can turn out 90's rated matches when he reaches main event level he'll be the big babyface monster

Grave Digger from 21CW became available and with 98 menace and 100 SQ 76 Psyc, 76 Basics and 79 selling he could be a world class talent. Only problem being I didn't like his name.. very indie... and didn't like his picture. I changed his name to Tyne (The guy is from Newcastle) and found a great alt picture for Skull DeBones that's maskless that i'm using. He's a clean slate more or less and still young so he's squashing guys untill I can think of where he fits. May be worth sending him to work in MAW untill he reached Midcard/Uppermidcard pop, bring him back up and send him streight to uppercard matches.

Too many big men in CZCW takes away from the product... so i'm considering just letting Hells Bouncer, Dusty Ducont contracts run out in 6 month and use Tyne as the bodyguard Sid/Diesel to my User's HBK.

I brought up Devious Doctor Fang and Damien Dastardly from MAW after they both shinned brightly getting MAW to Cult. Idea was for them to be a tag team, However they have awefull chemistry... so I just had Doc Fang beating Masked Cougar for the Cali title with Damian doing the run ins for Fang.

I have Fro, Swoop and Ross Henry as a stable, considering putting gangland in with them (gangland are cali slick and Mobstar)

dbritton987 · January 1, 2017

Posted my champions on the other thread yesterday, but hey, I'm bored so here we go. Finished Year 1 in my TCW game. Business is thriving with 3 shows: Total Wrestling, a Cruiserweight show, and a Women's Wrestling show.

2016 went out with a bang, a huge December for sure, especially at the PPV Psycho Circus. It was all highlighted by Sammy Bach challenging Angry Gilmore for the World Heavyweight Title. Bach's twenty year career was the story, twenty years to get to the biggest match of his life. Meanwhile, the arrogant champion mocked Bach as a guy who can never win the "big one." Sadly, Bach came up short in an epic encounter (92 Score). Something tells me there is a rematch coming soon...

There was also a battle of behemoths, as for the first time ever Rocky Golden & Remo Richardson face off one on one. This war has been stewing for awhile, and finally the historic matchup took place. The match of the night at Psycho Circus with a 94, Referee Francis Long was forced to throw the match out when he lost control, and the locker room emptied as Golden & Richardson brawled for another ten minutes around the arena post-match! This war is far from over!

The feud of Rich Money & Wolf Hawkins came to a close in the only way possible. Inside a Steel Cell! With the crowd behind Money like never before in his career, Money survived Hawkins's endless assault on his knee, the same knee that Hawkins deliberately injured and put Rich on the shelf. Despite being hobbled, Money left the steel cell victorious. A former SWF & USPW World Heavyweight Champion, the 41-year-old Rich Money now has his eyes set on the one major US World Title he's never worn....

After being defeated decisively by International Champion Eddie Peak at A Little South of Sanity, Joshua Taylor was insistent that he received another chance. Neither Peak nor GM Ricky Dale Johnson would give it to him at first, RDJ himself saying that there were other challengers that deserve a shot first. Taylor would not stop in his attempts. Finally, Eddie Peak agreed to the rematch...IF...Taylor agreed to his terms. Peak's sick, personal choice, A Dog Collar Match! Taylor agreed...and pulled off the upset! In a brutal, bloody battle, Joshua Taylor defeated the dominant Peak and became 2 Time International Champion!

Here's a quick overview over the rest of Psycho Circus 2016 and TCW's All Star Special 2 (a Saturday PPV that highlights the Cruiserweights & Women's Division):

TCW Tag Team Champions The Ego Kings (Eddie Chandler & Mr. Lucha) defeat The Backseat Boyz (Roger Cage & Troy Tornado) & The Muscle Wrecking Krew (Joss Thompson & Atom Smasher) to retain their titles

The New Era (Davis Wayne Newton & Kirk Jameson) defeated Valiant & Mighty Mo

Aaron Andrews & Marc Speed defeated Jeremy Finch & Daniel Drake (aka KP Avatar)

TCW All Star Special 2

TCW Cruiserweight Champion Edd Stone defeated Masked Cougar & The Amazing Z (aka Zimmy Bumfhole) in a Triple Threat Match to retain his title

Joanne Rodriguez defeats Sara Marie York to become the NEW TCW Women's Champion! With help from her newly hired sports agent Phil Vibert, J-Rod ends SMY's six month reign as the first ever TCW Women's Champ.

TCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions High & Devine (Benny Benson & Darryl Devine) defeated Roderick Remus & Rudy Velasquez to retain their titles

TCW Women's Tag Team Champions A-List defeated The 1st Class Girls (Zoe Ammis & Steph Blake) to retain their titles. Originally a Triple Threat, The Rising Suns were removed due to Shiori Jippensha's injury.

Frankie Perez defeated Mikey James to earn a Cruiserweight Title Shot

Raven Nightfall defeated Alicia Strong

Jacob Jett defeated Demon Seed (aka Duberry Excess)

Purple Viper & Paige Croft defeated Blue Chip Grunge (Jaime Quine & Eve Grunge) in a Tornado Tag Match

Mimic & El Diablo defeat Fox Squad (Fox Mask & Jimmy Fox)

Out of the ring and in the office, it was also a big final month in 2016. I was forced to sign a bunch of veterans due to backstage issues. Most specifically the Women's Brand, as Fuyuko Higa & Shiro Jippensha had become quite the locker room cancer. As mentioned, Phil Vibert is now on-screen as Joanne Rodriguez's sport agent. Michelle Brendon also joined TCW to become her sister Tracy's manager/enforcer, just to name a couple. Pretty much, I just bolstered all three locker rooms with positive influences to avoid any more big dips in overall backstage rating.

Had two big suspensions, too. The previously mentioned Fuyuko Higa provoked a fight with Carmen Ruiz (aka Mystery Pink unmasked), leaving me no choice but to suspend her for 30 days. It also forced me to abruptly end her feud with Tracy Brendon, which she lost the rubber match.

Same case with Jay Chord, except he actually got knocked out by Mighty Mo in the fight he started! Unlike Higa, though, Chord's stats have stalled, so I have a tough decision about what to do with him and his extremely negative influence.

On the positive side, there were two huge in-ring signings. From NOTBW comes Steve DeColt. He's up there in age, though yet to show decline. I've never used him yet in TEW2016, so I'm giving him a shot. Helped also NOTBW just let him go without a fight.

From USPW, Rick Law is heading back to TCW. My plan is to team him up with Aaron Andrews as a nice heel tandem. Always a fan of Law, I have long term plans for the Boss Man errr Rick if I can get his psychology up (just like Andrews).

2017 is gonna be fun with a huge roster. It's to the point that I'm becoming stricter on who to push. It's not good enough to be good at one or two things anymore. A wrestler needs the triple threat: in-ring skills, entertainment skills, & star quality to even be considered past a tag team position. Wrestlers missing just one are starting to fall down the card, or not getting signed at all.

With the crowd behind Money like never before in his career, Money survived Hawkins's endless assault on his knee, the same knee that Hawkins deliberately injured and put Rich on the shelf. Despite being hobbled, Money left the steel cell victorious. A former SWF & USPW World Heavyweight Champion, the 41-year-old Rich Money now has his eyes set on the one major US World Title he's never worn.... After being defeated decisively by International Champion Eddie Peak at A Little South of Sanity, Joshua Taylor was insistent that he received another chance. Neither Peak nor GM Ricky Dale Johnson would give it to him at first, RDJ himself saying that there were other challengers that deserve a shot first. Taylor would not stop in his attempts. Finally, Eddie Peak agreed to the rematch...IF...Taylor agreed to his terms. Peak's sick, personal choice, A Dog Collar Match! Taylor agreed...and pulled off the upset! In a brutal, bloody battle, Joshua Taylor defeated the dominant Peak and became 2 Time International Champion! Here's a quick overview over the rest of Psycho Circus 2016 and TCW's All Star Special 2 (a Saturday PPV that highlights the Cruiserweights & Women's Division): TCW Tag Team Champions The Ego Kings (Eddie Chandler & Mr. Lucha) defeat The Backseat Boyz (Roger Cage & Troy Tornado) & The Muscle Wrecking Krew (Joss Thompson & Atom Smasher) to retain their titles The New Era (Davis Wayne Newton & Kirk Jameson) defeated Valiant & Mighty Mo Aaron Andrews & Marc Speed defeated Jeremy Finch & Daniel Drake (aka KP Avatar) TCW All Star Special 2 TCW Cruiserweight Champion Edd Stone defeated Masked Cougar & The Amazing Z (aka Zimmy Bumfhole) in a Triple Threat Match to retain his title Joanne Rodriguez defeats Sara Marie York to become the NEW TCW Women's Champion! With help from her newly hired sports agent Phil Vibert, J-Rod ends SMY's six month reign as the first ever TCW Women's Champ. TCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions High & Devine (Benny Benson & Darryl Devine) defeated Roderick Remus & Rudy Velasquez to retain their titles TCW Women's Tag Team Champions A-List defeated The 1st Class Girls (Zoe Ammis & Steph Blake) to retain their titles. Originally a Triple Threat, The Rising Suns were removed due to Shiori Jippensha's injury. Frankie Perez defeated Mikey James to earn a Cruiserweight Title Shot Raven Nightfall defeated Alicia Strong Jacob Jett defeated Demon Seed (aka Duberry Excess) Purple Viper & Paige Croft defeated Blue Chip Grunge (Jaime Quine & Eve Grunge) in a Tornado Tag Match Mimic & El Diablo defeat Fox Squad (Fox Mask & Jimmy Fox) Out of the ring and in the office, it was also a big final month in 2016. I was forced to sign a bunch of veterans due to backstage issues. Most specifically the Women's Brand, as Fuyuko Higa & Shiro Jippensha had become quite the locker room cancer. As mentioned, Phil Vibert is now on-screen as Joanne Rodriguez's sport agent. Michelle Brendon also joined TCW to become her sister Tracy's manager/enforcer, just to name a couple. Pretty much, I just bolstered all three locker rooms with positive influences to avoid any more big dips in overall backstage rating. Had two big suspensions, too. The previously mentioned Fuyuko Higa provoked a fight with Carmen Ruiz (aka Mystery Pink unmasked), leaving me no choice but to suspend her for 30 days. It also forced me to abruptly end her feud with Tracy Brendon, which she lost the rubber match. Same case with Jay Chord, except he actually got knocked out by Mighty Mo in the fight he started! Unlike Higa, though, Chord's stats have stalled, so I have a tough decision about what to do with him and his extremely negative influence. On the positive side, there were two huge in-ring signings. From NOTBW comes Steve DeColt. He's up there in age, though yet to show decline. I've never used him yet in TEW2016, so I'm giving him a shot. Helped also NOTBW just let him go without a fight. From USPW, Rick Law is heading back to TCW. My plan is to team him up with Aaron Andrews as a nice heel tandem. Always a fan of Law, I have long term plans for the Boss Man errr Rick if I can get his psychology up (just like Andrews). 2017 is gonna be fun with a huge roster. It's to the point that I'm becoming stricter on who to push. It's not good enough to be good at one or two things anymore. A wrestler needs the triple threat: in-ring skills, entertainment skills, & star quality to even be considered past a tag team position. Wrestlers missing just one are starting to fall down the card, or not getting signed at all.</div></blockquote> This game seems great! May I ask, how did you manage to steal so many wrestlers and get business to thrive in the first year? I have heard that TCW is extremely difficult to make competitive in 2016, due to the financial concerns and guys such as Rocky Golden jumping ship. I'm very interested to find out, as I want to start my own game with them, but I'm hesitant due to the aforementioned concerns. Also, fair warning. The addition of Steve DeColt may not be harmonious with the locker room. Nate Johnson's problems with the DeColts may result in clique building. Hopefully Steve's isolation from his brothers prevents this from happening.

It was much harder in TEW2013 getting TCW in gear. I just made sure I had good PPV Contracts, which is where the big money is made. Got my PPVs on North America Prime Select now (Huge level). In the end, I've been making $3 Million per month now. As far as stealing wrestlers, I just beat out the competition. I've got the money to waste now. I've become pretty stingy with signings though. With my roster, if the guy doesn't hit my criteria (an impressive mix of in-ring, entertainment, star quality), I don't have the need for them. I have a developmental farm that allows me to be stingy like that. Yeah, Rocky Golden was a nuisance with his *cough* golden *cough* contract. Had creative control and wage matching. Thankfully, he was up for renewal and took six figures and nothing else. I'm not the biggest Golden fan. He's not bad by any means, but his psychology is never at a level I prefer to be THE guy. Nate Johnson won't be a problem...he's in my developmental farm, winding out the final months of his contract. He was in decline from the start and now has sub par stats. As soon as his in-ring skills and stamina fell into the fifties, he wasn't even useful as a jobber. Maybe I got lucky with TCW. I mean the game currently has a solid wrestling industry and a excellent economy in the US. But yeah, pretty smooth sailing, nowhere as bad as TEW2013.

Marat Khoklov beat Eddie Peak, clean as a sheet, at On Thin Ice (our early-February show). The match actually wasn't bad (82), as Khoklov has gained enough psychology to be useful in matches called in the ring. As mentioned, this storyline will continue to SFW Summer Festival, the biggest show of the year (which takes place in early-June), and for the moment, I've added Joshua Taylor to it, since he beat Aaron Andrews in a #1 contender match at On Thin Ice. Other big news: Melody pinned Demelza Wade for the Women's title in a triple threat match that also included Sara Marie York. The two worked together (albeit uneasily) in that storyline, but now, the focus will shift to Summer Festival, where my two best female workers will go one-on-one for the title. Face vs. face storylines can be tricky, but I'm really looking forward to this one. Heck, Sara's popularity is around 70 nationwide, making her more over than about 85% of the male roster! I also made a pretty noteworthy turn at On Thin Ice. Art Reed had been teaming with Clark Alexander, and they even won the tag titles together for a short time last year. However, with Alexander's contract up and him in a very steep decline, I had no use for the tag team anymore. Aldous Blackfriar and Roderick Remus beat them clean at On Thin Ice, and Reed snapped after the match, turning heel and setting him up to work good matches with my upper-midcard tier of faces (Edd Stone and Frankie Perez, specifically; those'll be really fun to watch!). Also, I'm happy to report that Koshiro Ino is back healthy. He tore his rotator cuff weeks after signing with me last year, but thanks to surgery, his 12-month recovery time got cut to just under nine months (I WAS able to keep him on the air as my commissioner, where he contributed to some fun segments from time to time). He beat Guide at On Thin Ice (thankfully, I had nothing else for Guide to do!), and I've got Ino pegged as a top-tier babyface for a while to come. He's not Eddie Peak or Joshua Taylor-level popular, but he's not far off, either. You may notice a lot of my guys are former TCW stars. If you've seen the TCW thread elsewhere on this forum, you'll know that I brought up their tricky economic situation. Since my last writing, it's only gotten worse. I signed Elmo Benson (probably for too much money), and will be reuniting High Concept, his tag team with Greg Black. Additionally, USPW signed both Human Arsenal and Danny Fonzarelli. As such, in the last year-plus, TCW has lost the following guys: Eddie Peak, Aaron Andrews, Joshua Taylor, Edd Stone, Guide, Elmo Benson, Human Arsenal, and Danny Fonzarelli. Yeah, they're, um...in BIG trouble. <img alt=":rolleyes:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> While my top guys are long-term stalwarts of the industry, I'm also really happy about some of the younger guys that are breaking out. Gino Montero, for instance, is between 65-70 in popularity around the country, and when autopushing everyone (as I do from time to time), the game put him at the main event level, which stunned me. Yes, he's a terrific worker and a future star, but a main event-level guy after a bit more than a year? Wow. I've put him in a program with The Uprising (Ernest Youngman, Kirk Jameson, and Greg Gauge), who are just a hair below that in popularity and will all be key figures going forward as well. I had to cull a few guys from developmental. Felipe Caballero and Marcel LeFleur got released; Caballero had a very low ceiling, while LeFleur just didn't develop nearly enough to where I'd ever use him. Christopher Gerard barely avoided the ax, and was instead called up to be a heel jobber for the time being. The next guy to make that decision about is The Masked Stranger, who's a solid all-around worker I'm not sure I have a spot for. It's not an awful problem to have, but this is where I could really use another TV show that I'll hopefully get moving from Cult to National at some point this year.</div></blockquote> On to April 2017, and with it, the conclusion of SFW Spring Stampede. At the top of the show, Marat Khoklov retained his SFW World Championship cleanly over Joshua Taylor, setting up Khoklov-Peak 2 at SFW Summer Festival (my biggest show). Taylor got shoehorned in, but the dude's been on fire, producing some killer matches. He and Peak, in fact, teamed up for a 94-rated tag match with Kirk Jameson and Greg Gauge that's easily the best match I've had in this save so far. In fact, just for kicks, I brought Bruce the Giant in on a one-shot deal and had Taylor face him in a TV main event. Well, it turns out Taylor and Bruce have excellent chemistry, and despite Bruce being pretty much immobile and unable to work longer than eight minutes without getting gassed, the match got a respectable 78 rating. Joshua Taylor = miracle worker. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Other title feuds: Melody and Sara worked a 20-minute time limit draw at Spring Stampede, setting up a blowoff match at Summer Festival. Silver Tiger became my new Cruiserweight champion a few weeks before Spring Stampede, but he and Super Ninja lost the tag titles to High Concept (Elmo Benson and Greg Black) in a ladder match that night. I probably have to find a way to get the Cruiserweight title off Tiger, as I've got he and Ninja programmed with Edd Stone and Koshiro Ino (who I only recently found had excellent chemistry as partners) leading up to Summer Festival. My cruiserweight division is suddenly swimming with promising midcard guys (Aldous Blackfriar, Roderick Remus, Kip Keenan, and Fox Mask, to name four), so it shouldn't be too hard to pick one and see how they do when handed the ball. The latest TCW poaching report: Before Spring Stampede, I snagged Jay Chord, who became a logical fit in The Uprising with Jameson, Gauge, and Ernest Youngman. I gave him a six-year deal, and while he's a horrible influence backstage, he's got "future star" written all over him in big, bold letters (and I've got a ton of locker room leaders to keep him in line, too!). In lesser news, I've also poached Killer Shark and Floyd Goldworthy. I'm not quite sure if I'm going to put Goldworthy as Shark's manager, but the timing is perfect and the fit should be OK (since Shark can't talk). Meanwhile, SWF poached Rocky Golden and Eddie Chandler, leaving TCW with Wolf Hawkins, Sammy Bach, 47-year-old Ricky Dale Johnson, 45-year-old Bryan Vessey, and not much else. Someone sound the freaking alarms over there! <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Other signings/missed signings/notes: Alicia Strong is being allowed to leave USPW, which stuns me since she's one of the top female wrestlers in the world. Given my women's division, and the chances of matchups between her and Sara Marie York/Melody, I want her, and I want her badly. I also wanted Boom-Boom Jamaica, who would've been a perfect fit for my cruiserweight division and a strong long-term prospect, but he re-upped with SOTBPW for considerably less than I was offering. On the plus side, I did sign Lassana Makutsi and Scythe from SWF for very cheap, and given their levels of potential, they're low-risk, high-reward investments. Finally, Sean McFly turned down a VERY lucrative offer from USPW to stay with NOTBPW, and that's very good news for me. I've got a working agreement with NOTBPW, and the first thing I did after Spring Stampede was arrange a talent trade so McFly could come in for a program culminating in a Summer Festival match with Jay Chord!
