It's Late 2001 and former top-WCW talents are starting to come off of their previous Time Warner contracts. The first signing? Disco Inferno, who would win the WWF Light Heavyweight title on his first night with the company. The WWF has not shown any interest in Rey Misterio Jr, who's Time Warner contract ran out that same week.

It's near the end of 2017 in my save and I was against splitting up the Bumfholes but I finally got to the point where it doesn't make sense to keep them together. The Awesomeness and half of the Platinum Blondes and Pain Alliance have left the company and the Bumfholes last feud with the Blondes pushed them into the main event. All my other tag teams are midcard or lower so they're not serious threats at this point.

 

So I had Zimmy turn on Randy and now he goes by Z-Ender (As in Z Ender of the Bumfholes.. is it worse than Bumfhole? Probably). It was before a title match and Z ran off with both the titles. We're coming up on Christmas Clash so Team Z and Team Randy will face off over control of the tag titles. I will probably slow roll the feud with Z holding the titles (possibly bringing up someone as a third "brother" to join a side) for a few months. He'll defend it in handicap matches where he finds ways to get DQ'd until finally a team beats him for the titles and Randy and Z have their final match at Supreme Challenge.

<p>TIL I had one of my opening jobbers turn into a lights out performer. Kentucky Bill or Oliver Knobb was already petty good but I just looked at him and have noticed his performance stats are through the roof.</p><p> </p><p>

North Of The Boarder Pro Wrestling

 

Just completed the year 2019 in my NOTBPW save and it things are still looking pretty good. I am currently on the first day of 2020 and I have held a total of 427 shows.

 

Steve DeColt is the current reigning and defending NOTBPW World Champion after defeating former champion Wolf Hawkins for the title back in May of 2019. Wolf Hawkins held the title for eight months prior to losing it and managed seven successful defenses. Wolf lost the title to Steve DeColt in a triple threat match at Grappling Glory in May of 2019, which also involved Shooter Sean Deeley. As of this writing Steve DeColt has managed nine defenses of the title in his current reign, which is probably going to end up a lot shorter than I originally was planning due to him hitting the early stages of time decline. He’s not in terrible physical condition as of yet so I could keep him as champion longer but I’ll probably take the title off of him at the Ed Henson Memorial Tag Team Cup.

 

The current NOTBPW Television Champion is Christian Price, he has held the title since November 2019 after defeating former champion Matthew Keith. Keith managed seven defenses of the title prior to losing it while Price has only managed two defenses of the title so far.

 

The current NOTBPW Tag Team Champions are Ricky and Jack DeColt, they have held the titles since defeating Blood Money (Johnny Bloodstone and Rich Money) for the titles back in April of 2019. Blood Money held the tag team titles for two years prior to losing them and racked up a total of seventeen defenses of the titles prior to dropping them to Jack and Ricky who have made nine defenses of the titles since winning them.

 

The current NOTBPW Women’s Champion is Melody, she has held the title since April of 2017 after defeating Tamara McFly for the title. Melody has now made a total of 42 title defenses since winning the title. She has one year to go before I’m going to have her drop the title to Lucy Stone-McFly.

 

I won a couple awards this time around for show of the year which was Summer Smash that was held in August the show got a rating of 97 and is my best overall show for the save so far. David Stone was also named Young Wrestler Of The Year, which is cool because I’ve been working on him since he made his debut in January of 2019.

 

New Signings: Matthew Keith, David Stone, Joey Minnesota, Steve Frehley

 

Released: Rocky Golden, Owen Love, Tim Westybrook, The Natural

 

I’m happy with how the year turned out for NOTBPW overall although I’m still getting my butt kicked in the National Battles. I hope that stealing Steve Frehley from USPW helps gain ground on USPW. Unfortunately for me I sent Steve DeColt on vacation before the end of the year so he wasn’t included in the tallying for the National Battle for December, which is probably why I finished last this month. Hopefully once Steve DeColt comes back and his points are added I’ll be able to at least surpass USPW in the National Battle and I’m hoping I’ll be able to pull ahead of SWF but that will remain to be seen.

<p>Just started my first ever "rock hard" save with a tiny English outfit to keep me going between diary entries.</p><p> </p><p>

On my first show I have Cobra going over Strife decisively and I got my first instance of the notification for Strife about to complain but then he changes his mind when he sees Cobra cracking his knuckles. I should have screen shotted that. Really cool stuff. </p><p> </p><p>

Elsewhere on the show Ripper LeStat will win the battle royale to crown my inaugural champion</p>

I just did a brand split after Shane McMahon gained control of WWE. Daniel Bryan became the GM of Raw and Edge became the GM of SmackDown. All of the titles went to Raw because AJ Styles was the first draft pick and he then announced that wherever he goes, the whole Bullet Club goes (and they have all the titles). This will lead to SmackDown trying to get some of those titles but failing and after Raw wins the Money in the Bank as well, Edge has no choice but to introduce his own titles.

<p>Still running WWF in 1995. I created a new alliance called "WWF Universal", which includes SMW, NOW (from Japan), UWFi, and a few other groups. Bret Hart holds the WWF Universal Championship, which is used sparingly.</p><p> </p><p>

The hilarious thing is the NWA still exists as an alliance, and Honky Tonk Man just became their champ at an indy show.</p><p> </p><p>

Diesel beat Owen Hart for the WWF Championship at Wrestlemania. He is now feuding with the Undertaker, who is leading a Ministry which includes Chris Candido, Cactus Jack, and Shane Douglas.</p><p> </p><p>

Newcomer Steve Austin has aligned with Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart, in their war with Barry Windham and the Smoking Gunns. Vince insists I push Bart Gunn, so the Smoking Gunns keep racking up some big wins.</p><p> </p><p>

Other feuds include Vader vs Sid, and Ricky Steamboat vs Bam Bam Bigelow (for the IC Title). </p><p> </p><p>

The Natural Disasters are the current WWF Tag Team Champions. Typhoon was doing a good job in the midcard, so I re-signed Earthquake, and they have gotten over. They just finished a feud with Demolition 2000 (Crush and Adam Bomb). A young Shane McMahon is managing the champions.</p>

<p>I'm playing as MAW with the 2014 database. I originally had a year long storyline with Findlay O'Farraday chasing Hollywood Bret Starr's COTT World Title after beating him for the MAW Title. Unfortunately, Starr lost the title right before I was going to have Findlay win and it kind of messed up my plans. So I scrapped a planned World Title match and had Findlay snap because of it, attacking Sam Keith in the process of turning heel. This caused Keith to bring in Matthew Keith who went on to beat Findlay and send him packing from the area in a Loser Leaves Town cage match.</p><p> </p><p>

Matthew is the top face of the promotion for the next whole year and I'm kind of stagnating in storylines for him. The COTT World Chamion is Rudy Valazquez and I didn't feel like doing a repeat World Title chase so I had Dazzling Dave Diamond come in as "The King of Southern Strong Style" for a 3 month feud with Matthew. During this time, Spencer Spade became available and I was able to sign him. On the undercard, he's winning matches and challenges Keith for the MAW Title at Night of Champions.</p><p> </p><p>

At Night of Champions, earlier in the show, I run an angle that old school fans will know as the Memphis "Diamante Negro" angle (They also ran this in Florida with Dusty and The Assassin posing as El Santo). I have Sam Keith welcome the Luchador Diamante Negro to the show and he reveals that a few of the smaller Mexican territories voted Matthew Keith as "Outstanding Wrestling of 2015". When Matt comes out to accept the award, Negro blasts him with the plaque and is revealed to be....Greg Gauge! Greg is upset that he never received any phone calls to come in and help out and rants that Matthew is the favored son, etc.</p><p> </p><p>

Spade demands that the MAW Title be forfeited to him but an injured and bloodied Matthew comes out to defend it, losing gallantly. This will cause Greg Gauge ("I refuse to use the name Keith!") and Spencer Spade to run roughshod over the territory.</p><p> </p><p>

So things ended up working out pretty well. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

If you want to see the actual Diamante Negro angle (It's not copywritten or owned by WWE or anything. No one has any idea who owns Memphis footage) just go to Youtube and search for "Diamante Negro Memphis"</p>

Previous Update

 

Summerslam 2017 is in the books, and tied with the Global League 2017 finale, and it is the highest rated show in my 14 months in charge of WWE.

 

a597cd982f17220ea60fca020d54fae0.png

 

The show opened with A-Double Austin Aries defending his Crusierweight Title against the legendary Jushin Liger. Aries had run roughshot on the division since it's formation, becoming the inaugral champion, losing it a day later due to a drug suspension but regaining it at his first PPV back. He demanded new competition and Regal gave him his request, bringing Jushin Liger to Brooklyn. This was a clear rehash of the same angle with Breeze, but I loved that so I wanted to do it again :p

 

Admittedly, I don't do a lot with my tag division, I never have storylines and characters for them. This was the case with the Smackdown Live Tag Team match. Kassius Ohno made his long awaited Main Roster debuting on the Smackdown Live match, he quickly aligned himself with former tag team partner Cesaro, dubbing themself the Heroes of Wrestling. The duo went on a good run together earning a chance at The Revival's Championships at The Global League Finale, which didn't end up taking place due to Scott Dawson fracturing his sternum in one on one action with Ohno. It was touch and go whether Dawson would be able to compete at Summerslam, and he was eventually cleared a day before the event. The tag team match tore the house down, with The Heroes of Wrestling walking out new champs, picking up an 81 rating, something completely unexepected since Cesaro has the highest pop in the match with 87, and the rest are in the 60s.

 

I found out three days before the PPV that RAW Womens Champion Charlotte had poor chemistry with #1 Contender, the recently returning AJ Lee. It was too late to drop out now, so I took the low rating and AJ and Charlotte managed a measly 59 rating, AJ walked out winner.

 

One thing I like to do with this save is Interpromotional stuff, imagine a WWE/NJPW relationship similar to the ROH deal, and I decided to bring in LIJ from New Japan. DIY were chosen to face EVIL and BUSHI, but it was new WWE signing Takahashi who made the biggest signing after returning from his excursion in CMLL, costing DIY the match.

 

Next up was the Smackdown Womens Title Match and Becky Lynch retained not only her title but also remained the longest reigning champ in the company, beating AJ Styles by a whole five days. He submitted Alexa Bliss in 10 minutes getting a 78 rating. Starting to get the Women over nicely.

 

Next up was the other LIJ match, as Shinsuke Nakamura defended his Intercontiental Championship against former IWGP Intercontinental and former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Tetsuya Naito. It wasn't without controversy though, as recent RAW debutants Pete Dunne and Marty Scurll attacked Shinsuke Nakamura during his entrance, claiming they are purely making a name for themselves. Naito walked away with the title with the duo picking up an 82 rating. Nakamura will get his rematch in Saitama, as WWE host the second annual "WWE Takes Over: New Japan Pro Wrestling" from the Saitama Super Dome.

 

Zack Sabre Jr debuted and immediately set his eyes on the United States Champion Austin (Adam) Cole, earning a title shot at the Payback PPV, which Sabre Jr won, but by countout. This time Cole had no backup as if he lost via DQ or Count Out he would lose his title. Sabre Jr overcame Cole at Summerslam with a rating of 80.

 

Roman Reigns and John Cena had previously linked up to fight fight the common enemy of Bulletproof BC (AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and Finn Balor) and despite a quick start things descended into madness very quickly with various bits of miscommunication and clashes of ego, the relationship turned sour quickly, and after three consecutive loses Roman Reigns turned heel hitting Cena with a Spear. The two would finally clash at Summerslam and it turned out to be the biggest disappointment on the show only drawing a 76 rating.

 

The Rock made his return to WWE at the Smackdown Exclusive PPV, Exile, but was interuppted by The Miz and Maryse. The two traded barbs and assaults for weeks until The Rock finally challenged The Miz to a match at Summerslam, which he'd eventually regret, Maryse spraying perfume into the eyes of Rocky allowing The Miz to hit a SCF and defeat The People's Champ.

 

Onto the dual Main-Event. Sami Zayn vs Dean Ambrose may be the biggest feud of 2017 for the WWE, with Ambrose cashing in Money in the Bank on Sami Zayn, a day removed from Zayn finally winning the big one in a Six Man Hell in a Cell match, Zayn won the rumble and the two clashed in the Main Event of Wrestlemania, admittedly disappointing in a 76 rated match. The two would clash again on the RAW after No Mercy where Sami barely defended his title against Wyatt. Zayn admitted he had a slight injury but was a fighting champion before he was confronted by Ambrose. Ambrose called Zayn a coward and challenged Zayn to put his title on the line that night. Zayn agreed and Ambrose capitalized on this opportunity, walking away new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. The rematch was set for Co-Main Event of Summerslam and the two men went to war, but Ambrose walked out still champion after hitting a Butterfly Brainbuster after 26 minutes. A 100 Rated Match. A second consecutive 100 Rated Match for Ambrose. Not bad.

Time for the Main Event, and the peak of my favourite angle I've ever booked. Balor joined the main roster in July of 2016, as a member of Bulletproof BC and was quickly established as a Main Eventer, winning the United States Championship in his debut match. Balor and Styles were considered dual leaders of the stable, but both gained massive ego's after their instant success and first butt heads in the 2017 Royal Rumble, as the final three consisted of AJ, Finn and Zayn. AJ and Finn argued taking their eyes off Zayn, who eliminated both of them. The two eventually reconciled, and they went off without a hitch for a few weeks. Until Wrestlemania 33 in fact, where both AJ and Finn came out on the losing end of their matches and again egos clashed. Once again they were convinced by ̶C̶h̶a̶d̶d̶ ̶2̶B̶a̶d̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶T̶e̶x̶ ̶F̶e̶r̶g̶u̶s̶o̶n̶ Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows to put their issues behind them. The permanent damage occured on Day 6 of the Global League as Finn had a 100% record and AJ warned Balor to drop the tournament. Finn refused to AJ's annoyance. Sensing tension, Bryan booked AJ and Finn to tag with eachother, but after Finn hit an 1916, AJ tagged himself in to grab the pinfall. Finn and AJ went face to face before they were pulled apart by ̶T̶e̶x̶ ̶F̶e̶r̶g̶u̶s̶o̶n̶ who threw up a Too Sweet, both men eventually threw it up before AJ nailed Finn turning Finn face and Gallows hit a Gallows Bomb to Finn Balor. The odds turned against Balor even more after it was announced that Karl Anderson was traided to RAW in exchange for Hideo Itami and a large undisclosed fee, and Anderson ended up making the save for Finn, before swerving him and hitting a Gun Stun. Balor ended up defeating Bulletproof BC members Austin Cole and Dean Ambrose in the finals of the Global League. Onto the Summerslam match and both men battled for 39 minutes for the Universal Title, with Balor barely, barely topping AJ Styles in a 99 rated match. My favourite angle I've ever booked will come to an end in Saitama, Japan, after AJ requested his rematch clause take place in the Main Event of the New Japan SuperShow.

 

http://i.imgur.com/DenHRpk.png

 

The Final Show drew 35,000 fans and recieved a 96 rating. I reckon if Roman vs Cena and AJ vs Charlotte hadn't have bombed, we'd be looking at a 100 rated show.

They also won the 1990 WWF Tag Team Classic, beating Bret and Owen Hart in the finals. Speaking of the Bulldogs, they are no more. I suspended Dynamite Kid for not showing up to a media appearance. The same day, Davey Boy and Bret Hart decided to piss off Chris Benoit. I didn't want to suspend Bret, my IC champion, so they only got a fine. But it pissed off Davey Boy to the point that he wanted a release, which I granted him. Dynamite seems to be OK with his suspension, as he's not upset at all. We'll see how he behaves when he returns. Maybe Davey Boy was the instigator all these years?</p><p> </p><p> After not being used very much for some of the year, Magnum T.A. would turn heel, yelling at and punching out the WWF President, Gorilla Monsoon. He would demand a title shot and after Monsoon put him through hell, got a IC title shot against Bret Hart. The problem for Magnum? Bret's brother, Owen, was named the special guest referee. After losing that match, Magnum promised that he would quit if he lost a rematch against Monsoon, and he wanted it in a cage. After a grueling match, Magnum regained the IC title for the second time in his WWF career.</p><p> </p><p> Shawn Michaels has continued his raise up the card, enlisting the big man, Diesel to be his bodyguard. It's only a matter of time before Michaels has gold around his waist.</p><p> </p><p> The Undertaker is currently sitting at 80-0 in his WWF career. An amazing run, but it has given him a massive ego. He's provoked two fights this year, getting his butt kicked both times. Once against locker room leader Danny Hodge. The second against noted tough man, Haku. He has also become toxic after making a bunch of religious slurs. I've invested so much in this Undertaker God-push that I couldn't just release him. I've chosen to ride out the storm and just take the hits from it. What could possibly go wrong?</p>

Previous Update

 

As mentioned in my previous update, we were quickly approaching the second annual 'WWE Takes Over: New Japan' event, and two weeks after Summerslam, a mixture of RAW and Smackdown Live superstars flew over to Saitama to compete in front of a hot crowd of 30,000 (since we're WWE we'll push it to a sold out 36,000) people. Would've liked a sell out, but the Japanese Wrestling industry isn't in the best place right now, despite NJPW routinely pulling A* shows, and DGUSA recently being taken over, investing a lot of money (outbidding me and NJPW for Kenny Omega, and stealing Katsuyori Shibata from the grasps of NJPW).

 

Irregardless, the show opened up with a non-title tag team match as the former tag team champions, The Revival stole a victory from under the nose of the men who dethroned them, the Heroes of Wrestling (Kassius Ohno and Cesaro), as Scott Dawson raked the eyes of Ohno and rolled him up for the win. These two teams competed for the titles at Summerslam, drawing an 81 rating, The Revival then invoked their rematch clause on the Smackdown Live after Summerslam, drawing an 82 rating. This time they drew a 75, I'm quite happy with this rating given the fact neither team are as over in Japan as they are in America.

 

The next contest was The Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe facing off against the Stone Pitbull, Tomohiro Ishii. I went with this match because I felt it would be a great matchup stylistically, and with a 10 minute brawl, Ishii came out on top, this match once again drawing a 75.

 

Austin Aries made defence number four of his Cruiserweight Championship in Saitama, defeating The Golden Star, Kota Ibushi. The two warriors battled it out for just short of 20 minutes but Aries locked in the Last Chancery forcing Ibushi to tap. An 82 rating was awarded and I'm delighted.

 

Hideo Itami defeated Roderick Strong in a short match designed to calm the fans down and ahead of the last four matches on the show.

 

Next up Hiroshi Tanahashi faced off against Roman Reigns, and they got a 79 rating. Quite disappointed in the grand scheme of things, but I feel Roman Reigns is pretty underrated in this mod. Next up the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada battled former United States Champion, and Bulletproof BC member Austin Cole (BAYBAY), this was the biggest disappointment of the night, only drawing a 76 rating after finding out the two had poor chemsitry. Cole seems to have poor chemsitry with every major worker we throw him with, Zayn, Balor, Nakamura, leaving me in a shitty situation where I don't want to push him, despite him getting massively over very quickly, being fantastic in-ring and Adam Cole being one of my favourite workers IRL. The post-match angle drew a solid 87 rating though, as Okada offered a handshake to Austin Cole, but Cole simply stuck his middle finger up to Okada and walked off.

 

Then it was time for the double main-event, first up was Shinsuke Nakamura aiming to regain his title from Tetsuya Naito after he was first attacked by MI5 (Dunne, Sabre Jr, Scurll, Neville and Barrett), and then pinned in the middle of the ring. The two men went just over half an hour before Nakamura put Naito to rest with a Kinshasa, drawing a very solid 87 rating, marking Shinsuke Nakamura's third title run. I've been disappointed in the way I have booked his title run(s), he's lost the title via cheating before regaining it after the match was restarted, he's had to wrestle shit midcarders, he lost his title to someone who doesn't even work for the company, and he's the fall guy whenever he's teaming with Balor and they need to lose. That being said, his next two PPV matches are going to be very special.

Then it was time for the Main Event. Since Triple H (my UC) took over WWE, we have enforced a soft time limi of one hour. This limit has never been met, but AJ Styles and Finn Balor made history becoming the first ever match to reach a time limit draw under my booking. Both men went to war during this match and it paid off with a 96 rated match, and leaving the option for one more match between them, since AJ lost so narrowly at Summerslam and drew with Finn in Japan, as well as this, it protects both Finn and AJ. The rubber match will take place at the Smackdown exclusive PPV event Capital Punishment 2017, and will be a stipulation match, most likely a ladder or a cage match, although the idea of an Iron Man Match has been thrown around a couple of times too.

Overall, an 84 rating which is extremely disappointing and comes down to me not progressing enough storylines. Oh well, it is what it is.

Smackdown went 3-0 against RAW winning the Men's, Women's and cruiserweight vs junior heavyweight matches after questionable actions by Nia Jax and Jay Lethal. Bullet Club went down to a combined RAW/Smackdown team in the opener and the match of the night, and The Wyatt's stood tall over a team led by The Rock and Undertaker.<p> </p><p> Orton defeated CM Punk to capture the title after some botched interference from Kassius Ohno. Team Smackdown won their Survivor Series match and the team will now enter Elimination Chamber to face Orton for the WWE World title. Punk will look to get into the match but will be turned away, and will ultimately take it out on Ohno, signalling Ohno's face turn and potentially a tag team run with Cesaro down the track.</p><p> </p><p> Despite being the first man eliminated in the RAW vs Smackdown Survivor Series match, Owens cashed in his Money in the Bank as soon as Sami Zayn completed the fairy tale and won the Universal title CLEAN, only to be attacked by Jeri-KO post match. Rollins and Zayn will both claim a title shot and Mick Foley will book a triple threat WWE Universal match for the next night on RAW. That match we will see Triple H turn on Rollins and side with Owens after months of KO in his ear. This will start Seth's face run and hopefully see, as a result, anyone of Adam Cole, The Miz, Sheamus or EC3 step up and fill in that heel opening in the main event.</p><p> </p><p> In other happenings, Ricochet & Will Ospreay won the World's Strongest Tag Team League and defeated Motor City Machine Guns for the WWE Tag Team Titles at Survivor Series. The same night as the WSTT final, MCMG turned hell attacking NXT Tag Team Champions The Von Erichs are an exhibition match. The Von Erichs withdrew from the WSTT due to injury to Marshall, and MCMG were upset about being overlooked for WSTT, so something in them switched and they cheap shot the Von Erichs post match, despite winning.</p><p> </p><p> The only other title change - Okada became a 3x Intercontinental champion, reclaiming the title off Ziggler after a distraction by Dean Ambrose in the lead up to Survivor Series.</p><p> </p><p> In other news, we are close to signing Kenny Omega and I expect him to move straight to the main roster. He will either go to RAW and join Bullet Club there, and potentially have the dream match we all have been waiting for with Kota Ibushi, or he will go to Smackdown and join Bullet Club there, more specifically The Young Bucks, so we could see The Elite in WWE.</p><p> </p><p> One odd thing, Jeff Hardy is rated at 90 pop, holds the GHC Heavyweight and W-1 Heavyweight titles, and his recommended push is Midcarder? <img alt=":confused:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/confused.png.d4a8e6b6eab0c67698b911fb041c0ed1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Lot of guys in the high 80's are recommended as Upper Midcarder, so I'm putting it down to his Spot Monkey style and the fact he just turned 40.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> 2017 is done and dusted and the awards are in... Sami Zayn is wrestler of the year, ranking #1 in the Power 500 with former WWE World Champion Dolph Ziggler at #2 and The Rock (!) at #3. WWE Universal champ Kevin Owens comes in at #4, Finn Balor #5, Seth Rollins #7, John Cena #8, Shinsuke Nakamura #9 and Karl Anderson rounds out the top 10. Mondai Ryu of DGPW came in at #6 to prevent a WWE top 10 clean sweep. Roppongi Vice won Tag Team of the Year, which may earn them a call up to WWE soon. Wrestlemania 33 was event of the year.</p><p> </p><p> 2018 will kick off with not only the Royal Rumble at the end of January, but the first ever United Kingdom Championship tournament! The two day tournament will be run as a B show on Day 1, then A show on Day 2, and will crown the first UK Champion, which will operate as an alliance title, and therefore defended throughout the WWE Universe. Competitors pencilled in include: Zack Sabre Jr, Neville, Sheamus, Wade Barrett, Noam Dar, Will Ospreay, Big Damo, Drew McIntyre, Marty Scurll, Rampage Brown, Mark Haskins and Jimmy Havoc. Finn Balor is tentative at this point as I don't want him to dominate the division.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>RAW:</strong></p><p> Owens walked out of TLC still Universal champ after Y2J cost Zayn the title. Rollins beat HHH at TLC as well to end their quick feud after HHH turned on Rollins on the RAW after Survivor Series. Rollins will move into a Universal title feud with Owens and Zayn, as it was Zayn who beat Rollins clean for the title before Owens cashed in. The new alliance of Owens, Jericho and Triple H will dominate RAW for the foreseeable future, potentially leading to the dismissal of Mick Foley as general manager and an increase in their stable ranks.</p><p> </p><p> Kenny Omega made his WWE debut, costing Kota Ibushi his WWE Cruiserweight title match with Jay Lethal. Omega quickly links back up with Bullet Club, who are dominating both brands. Finn Balor defeated Karl Anderson at TLC in a 93 rated match, while Shinsuke Nakamura defended the AJPW Triple Crown against Adam Cole in a 97 rated match <em>(Cole, Gallows and Anderson are all main eventers)</em>. Anderson will now challenge Nakamura while Balor continues to fend of the advances to join Bullet Club. Omega will slot into the Cruiserweight division initially but then move into the US Title picture.</p><p> </p><p> Katsuyori Shibata was called up to RAW and was challenged by Brock Lesnar to a match at TLC, with Lesnar coming out victorious. Lesnar will be looking for challenges from the best competition in WWE rather than chase titles. He's out to prove he is truely a beast.</p><p> </p><p> In other TLC news, Miz defeated Big E for the US title thanks to Maryse, while Nia Jax retained her Women's title against a recently called up Candice LeRae, who is the biggest babyface female on RAW already. With all 3 members of The New Day main eventers, Big E may get another shot at the Universal title, while Kofi slots into E's position in the US title scene, while Woods... not sure, possibly job him out to Baron Corbin and EC3 who I'm trying to build up, or Jack Swagger who just turned heel and I'm trying to give one more run.</p><p> </p><p><em> CHAMPIONS: </em>Universal - Kevin Owens; United States - The Miz; Tag Team - Ricochet & Will Ospreay; Cruiserweight - Jay Lethal; Women's - Nia Jax; AJPW Triple Crown - Shinsuke Nakamura.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>SMACKDOWN:</strong></p><p> Randy Orton retained the WWE World title in the Elimination Chamber match and now faces Bray Wyatt, who defeated The Rock in the main event of the Elimination Chamber PPV.</p><p> </p><p> Young Bucks reclaimed the Tag Team titles from American Alpha in a 99 rated match <em>(Jason Jordan is now a main eventer, while both Jacksons and Gable are Upper Midcarders)</em>, but now Beer Money and The Wyatts (Harper / Rowan) lay claim to their titles. In other Bullet Club related news, AJ Styles reclaimed both the GHC Heavyweight and W-1 Heavyweight titles off Jeff Hardy, and Cody Rhodes defeated Kazuchika Okada for the Intercontinental title thanks to AJ. Okada now chases both of AJ's titles, while Jeff will challenge Cody after Cody cost him his rematch on the next Smackdown.</p><p> </p><p> Kassius Ohno has turned face after CM Punk turned on his friend, after Ohno accidently cost Punk his World title Randy Orton. Ohno quickly found an ally in Cesaro, but don't expect Punk to not find some allies of his own soon...</p><p> </p><p> In other Smackdown news, Charlotte regained the Women's title off Asuka, and Caristico continues to hold the GHC Junior Heavyweight title due to the lack of faces in the division. The Undertaker challenged any member of the Wyatts to a casket match at Elimination Chamber, and Mesias (fka Ricky Banderas) stepped forward. Taker won and the Wyatts took the casket and lit it on fire, signalling that Mesias is no more. He has been sent back to developmental and will work his Mil Muertes gimmick from now on.</p><p> </p><p> <em>CHAMPIONS:</em> World - Randy Orton; Intercontinental - Cody Rhodes; Tag Team: Young Bucks; Women's - Charlotte; GHC Junior Heavyweight - Caristico; GHC Heavyweight - AJ Styles; W-1 Heavyweight - AJ Styles.</p>

Wow, I am so bad at organizing a tournament. I'm having my third Cruiserweight Classic and I started hiring people for it about a week before it needed to start (and I only realized it needs to start NOW, like two days before) and then when I finally had everyone and was putting them in the bracket.... I realized I had two extra guys. I don't know how that happened but basically it meant two guys had to be cut from the tournament which sucks because I really didn't want to get rid of anyone.

Put them in an "alternate" match where the winner gets to be a potential replacement for an injured worker (be it kayfabe or real).

You know that doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. Last time I had a potential semi-finalist get injured and didn't have a replacement so I just gave one of the already eliminated guys his spot.

<p>WWE Save</p><p> </p><p>

Been on and off with my WWE save using 2016 data. Finally built up to the brand split and planning tag expansions to the Cruiserweight and Women's Division. </p><p> </p><p>

I went crazy and signed a bunch of people I wanted to use but have been doing a ton of stable wars to help keep my bloated roster involved. </p><p> </p><p>

Right now:</p><p>

<strong>UNITED</strong> (Cesaro, Kidd, Swagger, Galloway)</p><p>

<strong>League of Nations</strong> </p><p>

<strong>The Club</strong> (AJ, Balor, Gallows, Anderson, soon to be turned Nakamura)</p><p>

<strong>The Elite</strong> (Omega, Bucks, Cole)</p><p>

<strong>Alpha Squad</strong> (Angle, American Alpha, Shelton)</p><p>

<strong>We Got Kids</strong> (Slater, Revival)</p><p>

<strong>The Authority</strong> (Trips, Rollins, EC3, Joe)</p><p>

<strong>The Heyman Group</strong> (Brock, Axel, Sabre, Scurll, Charlotte)</p><p>

And my personal favorite</p><p>

<strong>World's Cutest Stable</strong> (Bayley, Emma, Becky, Candice Larae)</p><p> </p><p>

Signed up quite a few veteran tag teams in as well. </p><p> </p><p>

As for main fueds</p><p>

<strong>WWE Title</strong> Seth is fighting with Roman, going to have Seth keep the belt and move Roman away. Seth will get a returning CM Punk for the next few </p><p>

months. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>IC Title</strong> Bryan vs Miz, going to make this the main belt on Smackdown and bring back the European title. Might even rebrand as Smackdown Worldwide and use a lot of foreign wrestlers. Bryan wins to boost title prestige. May revisit Bryan vs the Wyatt Family. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>US Title</strong> Axel is calling out Ambrose. This is a setup for a Brock return for a fued with Ambrose. Axel gets a cheap win and keeps the belt. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Tag Titles</strong> New Day holds on until Bucks are over. Another month or two. New Day splits after. Bucks hold the titles maybe forever. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Women's</strong> Charlotte will fight Sasha at the PPV then immediately move into a fued with AJ, who will then take the belt and help the Division get over. I'm debating on making a 3rd Brand for the Women. </p><p> </p><p>

About to book King of The Ring with two 8 person tournaments. Men and Women. Cesaro will beat Omega for the men and Candice Larae will beat Paige in the women's.</p><p> </p><p>

Haven't truly began my Cruiserweight Division, but I have the talent in place. They will get a few matches on Smackdown and an extra hour and a half on Superstars.</p>

<p>After only running some test run games with the C-Verse last year to get myself familiar with the new game mechanics and features, I decided recently to start up a full-on save with the C-Verse. Mind you this is my first full blown save with it. I am putting my own spin on things by tweaking things here and there. Anywho...</p><p> </p><p>

Running TCW and on a recent edition of Total Wrestling, I ran a segment where Jasmine Saunders interviews Marc Speed. Just days later, a news story breaks that says they are now dating. <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I'm tempted to up Jasmine's heel performance and turn her heel down the road to play off of this news item.</p><p> </p><p>

My first time booking Total Wrestling, I turned Giant Tana heel as he attacked Rocky Golden, aligning himself with Aaron Andrews. The next week, I have them cut a promo explaining why the change in attitude for Tana. Surprisingly, Tana did great without a script, while Aaron Andrews struggled. I picture it as Tana finally being given the chance to let loose on the microphone and rants about Rocky Golden always holding him back (in kayfabe).</p><p> </p><p>

Floyd Goldworthy can now add the Behemoths to his list of clients as I look to get them over as TCW Tag Team Champions. This came after they lost a non-title match to Flying Jimmy Foxx and Benny Benson, who I have dubbed the Flying Bennys. In response, the next week the Behemoths came out and destroyed Jeremie Courtney and Elliot Thomas to kick off the show, with Floyd Goldworthy coming out to declare that the Behemoths realized that they needed guidance after losing in a non-title match to the Flying Bennys. The Behemoths are set to defend the titles at Malice In Wonderland against Flying Jimmy Foxx and Benny Benson.</p><p> </p><p>

I've also started up a women's division. The roster includes: Alexis Lee Littlefeather (renamed Alexis Lee); Charity Sweet; Eve Grunge; Jaime Quine; Kate Avatar; Paige Croft; Sara Marie York; and Tracy Brendon. I also forged working agreements with 5SSW and AAA, so I plan on borrowing some of their workers to flesh out a women's title tournament. Haven't decided on a name for my women's title in TCW yet.</p>

<p>Took time off my WCW 1998 game and recently started it up. Now in March 1999 and a bunch of things have happened. Backstage was in shambles when the game started. Resulted in Nash, Hart, Luger, Elizabeth, Piper and a few others walking out on me. That forced me to change up some plans.</p><p> </p><p>

Goldberg straight off feuded with Hogan. This also began tension within the NWO. Hogan got sick of people losing and gave them the ultimatum to win or they're kicked out. Slowly the numbers dwindled. Goldberg beat Hogan at Road Wild for the title.</p><p> </p><p>

Tension boiled over which started a feud between Hogan and Savage because Savage "accidentally" caused Hogan to lose his title. In an effort to avoid a match with Savage, Hogan kept throwing other NWO people at him. They would lose to Savage and subsequently get kicked out of the NWO for their failure. Scott Hall became the last one left and also couldn't beat Savage at WW3 (A rated match). Savage finally got his match against Hogan at Starrcade where he won in a cage. This was supposed to completely end the NWO, but I wanted to pull as much out of it as I could (typical WCW??) and continued with a Hall/Hogan feud from here. Savage became ultra popular and I gave him some deserved time off. Also because I didn't have a clue what to do with him after this.</p><p> </p><p>

I took the opportunity to also elevate some other guys and trying to rebuild the tag division. Malenko/Benoit have been on a good role and are my current tag champions. They defeated the Faces of Fear who also had a nice run with the titles and got over really nicely. Raven/Saturn are becoming a really good team and have been feuding with the Filthy Animals (Rey & Kidman).</p><p> </p><p>

Scott Steiner defeated Goldberg at Starrcade for the world title after Goldberg passed out in the Steiner Recliner. After Booker T won the WW3 battle royal, he feuded with Steiner. I didn't have Booker win just yet as his popularity's stopped at B+. I'm really hoping that isn't his cap. Instead, I had Steiner defend the title at SuperBrawl against Booker and Goldberg, since neither guy had yet gotten their title (re) match. Goldberg won the title back and is again in a mini feud with Hogan.</p><p> </p><p>

DDP became bitter and turned on Sting. They are now feuding. DDP has gotten over a lot and he may get rewarded with a title run eventually. I'm trying to keep Sting busy until Rick Rude comes back from injury. I plan on having Rude return to the ring and feud with Sting, on the basis that he's getting revenge on Sting for permanently injuring him and ending his career. We'll see how good Rude is in the ring for how long he stays after that, but I'm hoping he isn't too bad. In real life before his death, Rude was training for a return. I'm also on the fence about feuding Sting with Goldberg and having Sting be the one to finally cleanly defeat Goldberg.</p><p> </p><p>

I was going to reform the 4 Horsemen until Flair walked out on me also. The Giant also didn't renew his contract and went to the WWF where he has been their World champion for awhile. I'm just waiting until I can re-sign Flair and get the Horsemen going again. I signed Vader after he didn't stay with the WWF and wanted to give him a better run than he got. He's a freelancer though and only signed short term. He's feuding with Wrath now.</p><p> </p><p>

I was able to get Hart and Luger back, which I'm happy about. People forget just how massively over Luger was and I'm working on getting him back to that. Hart was thrown into a feud with Chris Jericho, who has become hugely popular. Turns out though, they have horrible chemistry in the ring. I found this out after starting their feud, so I had to come up with some alternative for matches. So Hart, who's recruited newcomer Lance Storm, told Jericho ty try and find a partner for their match at Uncensored (which I'm promptly dropping the feud there). To everyone's surprise, Macho Man returned from his hiatus to announce his teaming with Jericho. I was tossing up using either Macho or Scott Hall. I went with Macho after figuring he could give a better match. Hall's been dynamite for me but is still battling drug issues. If I could get him past that, I'd have no issue giving him a solid run.</p><p> </p><p>

Jericho was the US champion until he was out with an injury. He was also too over to drop the title to anyone, so I used the storyline of Bischoff stripping him. This started a big tournament and since Meng was doing so awesome, I rewarded him with winning the tournament.</p>
