I'm currently playing WWF in 1995 and I just got to Wrestlemania XII. Everything was going alright (backstage morale wasn't that good but it wasn't bad either) and then... BOOM. HBK got upset and quit (despite strong booking, he was losing the promos and angles but winning matches), Sycho Sid AND Bob Backlund were scooped up by WCW TWO weeks before Wrestlemania. Sid wasn't really a blow; I didn't use him very much anyway but Backlund was in a huge stable based around him being "President". Then...! Diesel says the week before Wrestlemania that he will quit the WWF! I recently had him drop the title to Bret Hart at the Royal Rumble (in a fatal four way so he wasn't even pinned), and since he wasn't the best choice for Figurehead, I dropped him from that too. TO TOP IT ALL OFF, Scott Steiner was upset for some unknown reason and told me 2 DAYS before Wrestlemania that he was sitting out his contract. He and his brother were supposed to win the Tag-Team Titles... I had to rewrite my storylines and future angles about 4 times before Wrestlemania... it was a pain.

 

Here was my Wrestlemania Card:

- Rick Steiner and Steve Williams def. Owen Hart and Benoit to win the tag-team titles

Owen and Benoit was a happy accident. I brought Benoit in and wanted to get him over fast. Yokozuna was headed to WCW and I figured, I'll try Owen with Benoit and it worked as they have "great" chemistry! Had them run with the titles for a few months and planned to have them drop it to the Steiners but... Scott left. I was debuting Steve Williams at WM anyway so I figured, let's see how this team works. Going for sort of a "Varsity Club" feel with them. We'll see how they last.

 

- Duke Drose, X-Pac and Marty Janetty def. Backlund, HHH and Dean Douglas

I wanted to really push the "Backlund for President" thing and decided to make a stable around him. Triple H and Dean Douglas are part of his "cabinet" and they've been getting over well. HHH is actually getting more over than Backlund at this point, so it worked out that he's leaving. Going to push HHH and Douglas together now.

 

- Ken Shamrock def. Taz

I managed to get Taz from ECW and he's been on a tear, going from Opener to Midcard in about 2 months. Squash matches and a promo after each one does wonders. He was supposed to lose here to Steve Williams in an "open challenge" but... had to shuffle things around. Just signed Shamrock a few weeks before and figured this would be as good a time as ever to debut him.

 

- Billy Gunn def. Vader

I wanted to branch Billy out to a singles run, and I had nothing for Vader to do. So... had Billy lose and lose to Vader and kept coming back. Billy Gunn put his "career" on the line and, obviously won. We'll see how far I'll be going with Billy.

 

- Jerry Lawler def. Steve Austin

Sort of a placehold fued between the two. Going to start pushing Austin huge after this but I needed something for him to do.

 

- Goldust def. Barry Windham

Goldust has been tearing it up on the card recently. I tried to go with a whole "person from character's past comes out to help him" thing and Barry was available. The story was that Windham wants "Dustin" back and has been begging him ever since to stop with the Goldust gimmick. I was planning to actually have Goldust turn face and team with Windham but I kinda need him as a heel for a bit longer. Plus, Windham is working so far so I'm keeping him on longer than planned.

 

- British Bulldog def. Manabu Tanaka to retain IC Title

Tanaka is Manabu Nakanishi, who has good star ability and was a Japanese guy who looked good. Just trying to get his legs under him right now (has 0 promo skills so I had to find a manager for him) but, hopefully he turns out well.

 

- Bam Bam def. Sycho Sid

Just a typical "big men brawl all over" fued. Another placeholder fued, but Sid left after this so it works out.

 

- The Undertaker def. Diesel

Been doing the casket angles with Undertaker as the heel and they worked out well. I had big plans for this fued but then well... Diesel left. Oh well. I hope Undertaker never leaves or I'm out of luck.

 

- Bret Hart def. Razor Ramon in a Ladder Match to retain WWF Title

Razor won the Royal Rumble and the two have been fueding ever since. They brawled all over the ring, backstage and been attacking each others with the ladder, hence the stipulation. I didn't want Razor to be the champion (yet) but I figured they'd put on a good match, and it was the MoTN. Going to do an Iron Man match at the next PPV as a blowoff and then I'm not really sure.

 

 

There you have it, my WWF Wrestlemania XII. Anybody have any advice on how to get my lockeroom out of the gutter? I'm afraid that I'm going to lose one of my key players (Bret, Undertaker, Austin) and then I'll be losing the war for sure.

[CQI13]

Restarted my USPW game (again). Added Peter Michaels to my announce team, Marat to the roster.

 

Re-christened as EVOLVE Pro-Wrestling, and using the Lucha Underground product. Part of it is because I want to make some radical changes. And I don't want to see El Mitico and Mr. Lucha III just withering away. Also figured I'd add some other Luchadores/Cruiserweights.

 

The story behind it is that now that Alan Packer is in control, after having to raid SWF for the big names that put them over the top, they want to provide something no other promotion in the US can. And surprisingly, I get better ratings with that product than the default one. Belle Bryden is the Authority figure after a heel turn.

 

I like the idea of stables, so I will have Alicia Strong with a USA team, J-Ro with The Latin Kings, and I'm sure some others will emerge. I want to really change the landscape, and being SWF-lite wasn't too thrilling in my book.

With that, the main event for Independence Day Slam 2018 is set, as Steve Frehley will defend the USPW World Title against the man he took it from.</p><p> </p><p>

Sammy Bach won the first-ever Independence Rumble, a 40-man Royal Rumble match. He eliminated Marat Khoklov to win the match. Enygma and Jumbo Jackson (?) were the other members of the final four.</p><p> </p><p>

This also helps solidify some other matchups: Wolf Hawkins will transition into a feud with Rick Law before re-entering the title scene post-IDS. Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Findlay O'Farrady will end their program there, and a newly-heel Kirk Jameson will face former friend Bradford Peverell at the show as well.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm not sure who's taking the National title off of Primus. Moor beat him two weeks prior (his first singles pinfall loss) to earn the title shot.</p><p> </p><p>

Spencer Spade & Ekuma get All-American Perfection (Nelson Callum and Kip Keenan) next, but they're in a feud with the All-Americans, and I'm planning a match at IDS where the losing team breaks up.</p><p> </p><p>

Nadia beat Alicia clean, but now the entire women's division is coming after her.</p>

<p>Another six months are history in my first CGC game with TEW2016, as the calendar switches over to 2017. Things have done a complete 180 in one year. October and November actually showed some profit for the first time when ticket and PPV sales took a big bump. The company lost money in December, but that’s only because I bolstered the roster with more talent and improved production and merchandise. It should only be a month or two before I’m back in the green. Barring a drop in wrestling popularity in Canada, I’m projecting CGC to hit National by mid 2017, maybe earlier. The glory days are (almost) back!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Main Event</span></strong></p><p><strong>

CGC World Heavyweight Champion: Jay Chord</strong></p><p>

<em>1x, Reign Began June 2016, 8 Title Defenses</em></p><p>

Jack DeColt broke his leg in June 2016, forcing him to vacate the World Title. Forget about coaxing Chord into the World Title picture after signing him in April, Jay won the vacant title and has been the #1 guy ever since. Ricky DeColt replaced his brother in a lengthy feud with Jay, but could never take the gold away from Chord.</p><p> </p><p>

Chord leads his own stable known as the True Born, which includes Greg Gauge & Ash Campbell. Thinking they deserve everything due to their lineage, True Born has the talent to back up their claim. </p><p> </p><p>

After his finale with Ricky DeColt, in December, Chord was booked in the Chambers of Horrors Match, aka a better version of the Extreme Eliminator Chamber! It was revealed by CGC Owner Alex DeColt that one of the men vying for a spot in the Chamber would be his brother Jack, returned from injury! </p><p> </p><p>

Chord managed to sneak out of the chamber still as the champion (match included Chord, Jack & Ricky DeColt, Christian Price, Kirk Jameson, & Roger Cage). The Chamber match, however, was used only to propel the J DeColt – Chord feud that CGC fans have been waiting for. </p><p> </p><p>

Right now, I plan on having J DeColt regain the title, just to emphasize the idea that Chord never beat Jack for the gold originally. Chord will win the rematch, and then the rubber match as age forty is about the rear its head for DeColt. </p><p> </p><p>

Outside the title picture, I’ve been hoping to push Kirk Jameson as potential challenger, but he has hit a wall just about everywhere as far as talent improvement goes. While having 94 star quality, everything is else is good, not great. Even worse, his feud with Thom “Guide” Barrowman got dumped when Thom tore his Rotator Cuff (Barrowman was going to be in the CoH, and was replaced by Roger Cage the night of). I still have high hopes for Jameson, but for now I think I’m going to team him with my avatar, Daniel Drake, and allow the two to develop more together before pushing either as singles stars. My avatar is doing well, but still has a way to go. I need another solid face team anyway to challenge my tag champs, and potentially take the gold. </p><p> </p><p>

Ricky DeColt is kind of in “no man’s land” right now after failing to beat Jay Chord for the World Title. Eventually, I plan on doing the brotherly feud with Jack, but that won’t be for awhile.</p><p> </p><p>

Christian Price has been a mainstay in the main event throughout 2016, but his talents have also hit a wall, and he has only good star quality and entertainment skills. Now that I have a bunch of upcoming talent that are clearly going to be better if they keep improving, I’m going to slowly move him into the midcard and tag team division. Starting in January, he is going to be taking on a protégé by the name of Spencer Spade. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Midcard</span></strong></p><p>

<strong>CGC Canadian Champion: Roger Cage</strong></p><p>

<em>1x, Reign Began May 2016, 9 Title Defenses</em></p><p>

Cage has been the perfect midcard champion, putting over talents with foggy finishes, occasionally losing to the likes of Ricky DeColt, but always leaving with the gold. He just finished a lengthy feud with Buddy Garner, which included a MMA Cage Match where Cage tapped to the Garner Tendon Hold. Cage’s trusty lawyer, though, filed papers that forced Alex DeColt to make the special encounter a non-title match, due to it not being an “official” wrestling match! Cage would win their final encounter in December…in shady fashion! </p><p> </p><p>

Just like Jay Chord, though, Cage is due to drop the title after a lengthy reign. I’ve been undecided on who to reward with a title victory, but I think I’m leaning towards turning Mr. Lucha face and have him feud with Cage. Both have excellent entertainment skills, so it should be fun! Cage is pretty much my Miz at this point, he doesn’t have the star quality (right now) to be a top guy, but he is the perfect guy to always be vying for a Canadian Title shot. So, most likely, there will be another Canadian Title reign in his future! </p><p> </p><p>

The rest of my midcard is kinda foggy right now, but that’s a good thing because I’m in the process of building my own Cruiserweight Division! January 2017 will bring the start of a 16 man tournament to crown the first ever CGC Cruiserweight Champion! I even broke my rule of not battling top companies over talent, just to bring over Mikey James & Randy B (Bumfhole) to bolster the start of the division. For now, the Cruiserweights (Lightweights and lower) will only be separated as far as singles matches go. When CGC hits National and I can afford a larger roster, I’ll separate them all together, singles and tag teams. I haven’t officially decided on my first ever CW Champion, but its likely going to be Mikey James, Randy B, or Masked Cougar. Dark horse goes to Extraordinario Jr! </p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tag Team Division</span></strong></p><p>

<strong>CGC World Tag Team Champions: The Golden Gangstas (Zeus Maxmillion & Sayeed Ali)</strong></p><p>

<em>1x, Reign Began November 2016, 2 Title Defenses</em></p><p>

Maxmillion & Ali ended the 10 month reign of The Featured Attraction (Greg Black & Donte Dunn), their heated feud coming to an end in a well praised 2 out of 3 Falls match. Maxmillion & Ali were sinking as singles competitors as more talent came into CGC, so I decided to put the former rivals together. They rose to the top of the division fast. Together now, the Bronze God & East Side Assassin are the kings of the tag division.</p><p> </p><p>

As far as the former champs go, Greg Black is moving on to focus as a singles star in the Cruiserweight Division. Donte Dunn, meanwhile, will shortly find a new partner in Ross Henry, who is ready to be pushed after a year as a enhancement talent. </p><p> </p><p>

Right now, I’m mulling over the next top challenger. It will either be the beloved babyface team of Fro Sure & Extraordinario Jr., or the hard hitting team of Frankie Perez & Bradford Peverell, known as Excessive Contact. </p><p> </p><p>

In random 2016 news…</p><p> </p><p>

TCW fell to Cult Size for the second time in '16 after a sex scandal involving “office juniors” was revealed (yikes!). </p><p> </p><p>

Whippy The Clown died at age 41 due to a “gardening accident”. </p><p> </p><p>

Yoshimi Mushashibo was the Wrestler of the Year, SOTBPW was Company of the Year, Muruyama & Ugaki were Tag Team of the Year. </p><p> </p><p>

Finally, my own CGC won Show of the Year (CGC Battle of Beyond, where Jay Chord vs Ricky DeColt scored a 98!).</p>

Well, I Drug tested my locker room mostly because I was tempted to sign Jake Roberts and wanted to see if he was clean.

 

Now my locker room morale is at Twenty-Three Percent because approximately forty percent of my roster was on drugs. Not soft drugs, Hard Drugs and Steroids.

 

I also love that half of my main event scene is now mad at me because they were doing coke and speed. Sure that makes sense.

Just picked my OLLIE/RTG game back up after a layoff. Took a little bit of reorientation to remember what I was doing but I got back into it.

 

I booked probably my favourite main event of the save so far. After a tag match with Phoenix III & user character Manuia Kaulu losing to El Bandido and Neutron after being attacked by their rivals Torque, Mateo Iglesias and El Demonio, Luis Montero and Phoenix ran in to make the save. That set up a 5 vs. 5 the following week with Montero, all three Phoenixes and Manny going up against my current champ Bandido, Neutron, Torque, Iglesias and Demonio.

 

Montero picked up the win over Demonio (I wanted to have him pin Bandido, but Bandido didn't want to take the fall) to continue building towards their singles match.

 

I'm thinking Montero will probably take that one since Bandido has had the title for a long while now and Montero has entered time decline, so probably only has a couple more main event years left in him, but we'll see. I've developed a lot of love for Bandido during this save.

Ugh, I finally took the chance to steal The Rock from WWE in 2011. Shawn Michaels had beef with him but I figured it'd be worth it. 125,000$ huge battle between me and WWE, and I won. I was shocked tbh. I usually also trade people, I gave up Zack Ryder (who is actually 90s overness) and Cody Rhodes (90s as well) for the Rock, so I figured it'd be a pretty solid trade.

 

Anyways! I am building towards a safe The Giant vs. The Rock feud at my major show. I don't want the Rock to end Tanahashi's legendary reign right now (over a year long reign) so that's on hold. Alas, Michaels basically just turned 1/4th (20 or so people) of my roster against The Rock.

 

What the **** do I do? I can't get rid of either, Michaels is 46 and NOT in decline, shockingly enough. The Rock is a 125,000$ 5 year deal. I can't just get him and release him after 2 months.

 

What would you guys do?

[Irish Wolf]

the year is 2031 and this is my longest running save ever.

 

im very proud of this save, im playing as mpwf and have risen from regional to international now. ive just signed USPW,s number 1 star and have now been ahead in the national battle for the last 3 months.

 

these are the top stars in the game now:

I find it odd that you are a Mexican company and not a single one of your top five stars is Mexican.

Looks a bit like me booking New Japan.

Definitely doesn't look much like a Mexican company.

That went well, all things considered.

 

Andrews took the pinfall in the main. Nicky will finish Jay off at Hotter Than Hell in July, then move on to my Human Arsenal/Eric Tyler-led "real wrestlers" group that I haven't named or put together yet. Davis Wayne Newton is next for Andrews. Chord's next program is up in the air.

 

That's a good way to bring back the All-Action Title. Cougar is a former International Champion (!) so he's a great choice to be the first champ of this new era.

Jeremy Stone and The Stomper died in May; Stone at the beginning, Stomper at the end. Duane took over as NOTBPW owner and Joel Bryant got the book a week later.

 

High Impact Wrestling closed after less than two years, which was still long enough for Maxwell Bleak to become a Triple Crown champion (winning the TV, National Tag, and World titles.)

AAA January 2018

 

Got the company up to Cult status in October '17 and slowly but surely started signing folks to written deals. Unfortunately, I didn't move quite fast enough and lost Sara Marie York, Nadia Snow, Zoe Ammis, and Melody to USPW. The last one hurts, as I also have her protege Ariel Breaks on the roster. On the other hand, poking in the editor and looking at her skills, she's really solid overall for someone so young, so it's not a HUGE loss. Cherry Bomb got sent to rehab.

 

The plan now is to just focus in the North West and Mid West (the two areas that pushed me to Cult), with one weekly show and the monthly events. I'm cutting the second weekly show, which I had moved from the Mid West to the Great Lakes. The idea was to keep growing pop to get some kind of TV deal, but the better idea is just to focus on the core areas and build up that money to start my own broadcaster.

 

Amber Allen got released by NOTBPW. I could have had her around sooner, what with my cutting a Working Agreement with them, but I was focusing on my own roster. But, now that I can get her under a written, heck yes. Normally, I'm a bit gun shy on hiring NOTBPW talent, as they have very low pop in the U.S., and it often takes them a while to get that up to match their usually impressive skills. But Amber, in my experience, is generally good enough that even when she loses, she puts in better and better performances each time. And that's without Steffi Chee on the roster. Having her mentor around? Amber is a steam roller.

Well had to restart my previous game because I realized I made the main event title for a created fed, Dragon Kingdom Pro Wrestling's, main title require a tag team, while the tag team was actually singles. Whoops.

 

So after the restart, I've managed to work my way back to August 2018. Also kept the original intent of Pro Wrestling HONOUR from the Thunderverse and made it a woman's division again. I did modify my heavy title to be the only main and my junior title to be my mid card. Because why be the same as every other Japanese federation, right?

 

My 5 top stars right now via popularity are: BISON Yano, Greg Gauge (Heavy), Yu Hashimoto (Ladies), Thrill Seeker and Konrad Makinen.

 

I thankfully got to keep Greg Gauge when he was injured for a long time (missed nearly a year) so BHOTWG's didn't steal him from me before I reached Cult and then I signed him to a long term deal. Same with Konrad. While my intensity is 80%, my match danger is 10%, so I'm not too worry about him getting injured. Wasn't wrestling for me when he did.

 

My 5 franchise players are: Dian James, Konrad Makinen, Greg Gauge, PJ Strong, and BISON Yano.

 

I'm like jk in that the top part of my card has a lot of foreign talent in it, yet if you looked at the rest of my card, it is filled with talent from within the country. I'm particularly surprised that this time around I can't get Rikyu Kada (owner) out of midcard. Because he's so good, he usually just ascends easily.

 

Oh and hilarious fact this time around. I nearly got myself fired. Rikyu put up a goal during I think my second year (2017) of retaining so much money. I forgot that the timer was going to be up during when the tour ends. So I went under and if it wasn't for the other goal passing (do not allow popularity to fall), I was about to be fired.

 

Also, Kada continually has sabotaged all my attempts to sign great people. The original Acid is a free agent and VENOM too, but I can't sign either one. He keeps giving me "don't sign anyone over 35(or 40)". You have no idea how infuriating it is that I can't sign those two. WLW or PGHW will sign them, I bet. Yes, if I wasn't like half way to being fired, I would definitely break that goal.

 

The other thing he does is continually go "I'm only paying so much" any time a great star is available. Even with millions in the bank, I can't sign the likes of Matthew Keith, Azumaro Keita, Ant-Man, Orange Tsuchie, etc. because he keeps telling me that. INFURIATING. Frugal prude.

 

Dreading when people's contracts come up. If they aren't loyal, they going bye bye.

Playing a game with ASWUK, started in 1987 and now in 1988, and just had our first PPV.

 

Had been trying to play the long game and build up cash before going to Cult, but two things happened. First, the economy crashed, meaning where I'd been making a big profit before, I was now barely breaking even.

 

Second, numerous top talents began to get poached. Mick Foley and Vader just came out of a tag team feud with Owen Hart and Shinya Hashimoto, and Foley got poached, as well as contracts being offered to Shinya and Owen. My womens division has had its top stars stolen by AJW, and going to cult so I could get a PPV deal and written contracts was the only way to not lose my best stars.

 

Of course, Foley's last opponent was Vader. And of course, Vader gets injured, the same day he signs a three year contract. So now I've got an 8 month wait to start his singles push.

 

Fuji Yamada (Jushin Liger) is the figurehead, and whilst there's still different Main Event titles for weight divisions at the moment, he'll be unifying them as one world title soon enough.

 

Now in July 1988, about three months on, and about six months into pushing Fuji Yamada/Jushin Liger as the figurehead.

 

He is now 90 popularity or thereabouts across Britain, and the third most popular wrestler in the area, just behind Andre and Hogan.

 

I bought GLOW to fix my womens roster, and have also hired ex WWF stars Don Muraco and Dynamite Kid. Don has been feuding with Fuji for a few months, but their first match is this coming PPV.

<p>Booking a real world game post-Mania. I pushed the 'Superstar Shake-up' until after Backlash so I could use April to get things more where I wanted them before the draft.</p><p> </p><p>

Roman beat Brock at the Greatest Royal Rumble. It seemed more realistic and opens up more potential for stories going forward for me. I'm booking him as a whiny, entitled heel rather than being cool/cocky because that would risk (in real life) turning the crowd onto his side. Instead he demands adulation as a future Hall of Famer and the top guy in the company, then abuses the crowd for not cheering him, etc. He's moving on to face Braun, obviously. There was only a week between GRR and Backlash so they went on first at Backlash and brawled to a messy draw to kick off the feud. I'll keep the belt on Roman and have him duck Braun until Summerslam where Braun will dethrone him.</p><p> </p><p>

My first signing was Cody Rhodes, who inserted himself into the AJ/Nakamura feud on Smackdown. He ruined their match at GRR so the rematch at Backlash was made a cage match to keep him out, with Nakamura winning the belt. Instead he had three segments backstage, first with AJ, then with Finn, then with Anderson & Gallows. You can see where this is going. Cody is 'officially' joining Smackdown in the Shake-Up and Anderson & Gallows will be drafted across. Cody is going to win the MITB, and AJ will reclaim the belt from Nak in July to set-up a final, feud-ending Ironman match at Summerslam, which AJ will win and after which Cody will cash-in to become the new champion, with the help of the Bullet Club. I've already signed Omega, Young Bucks and Adam Page in anticipation for it. Not decided what I'm doing with them yet, maybe keep them off-screen/in the Performance Center. Also not decided on a name yet because I don't want to use 'Bullet Club' for realism sake (and yes, I realise this whole scenario is already taking huge liberties with realism...). I'm essentially going to re-run Cody/Omega but in WWE, which is probably exactly what they'd do, except I've got AJ and Finn to add to the mix. Once the whole thing is done, hopefully Cody, Omega & Finn will be firmly established Main Eventers along with AJ.</p><p> </p><p>

I went with the same basic principle as real life for the Smackdown Women's title, with Carmella cashing-in the Smackdown after Mania to win the belt. Charlotte won it back at GRR and won the rematch at Backlash. It was a very rushed feud after how long Carmella had the MITB build-up but I want the belt on Charlotte and I'm turning her heel. I have already turned Natalya face in preparation for Charlotte's heel run. I'm going to build her up to take the belt from Charlotte down the road because I'm a fan and think she deserves a good run. I'm thinking Survivor Series in Montreal but having her go over clean and not running a screwjob finish, because again, it seems like something WWE would do as a 'swerve'. In the meantime, two or three of Kairi Sane, Becky Lynch, Naomi and a face Lana can have their turns at trying to dethrone Charlotte. Probably Lana first because she's just turned face and is riding some momentum which I don't mind feeding to Charlotte. Becky & Naomi can be built up more because I see more long-term in-ring future for them. Kairi I might hold off on because I don't want to kill her off too early.</p><p> </p><p>

The Raw Women's title isn't doing much right now. I finished off the Alexa/Nia feud with Nia still having the belt. I've brought Kharma back and I'm toying with running that feud now or saving it a couple of months for Summerslam, the other option is Absolution. Although as I say that, I realise I haven't done the Shake-Up for the women so maybe one of the Smackdown heels. The big Women's feud on Raw is Ronda vs Steph. I used Ronda in a tag match to continue building her skills/hiding her flaws and put her with Bayley. Turns out they have excellent chemistry, and backstage Steph took Sasha on as a protege, so I've run with circumstance and had Steph bring Sasha and Bayley into the feud. At Backlash, Ronda tapped Steph out super-fast (as the Internet wanted all along <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />) so on the next Raw, Steph is bringing in her replacement: Asuka. That tag/fourway feud will run for as long as I can stretch it. Summerslam hopefully for two singles pay-offs. Then Ronda can go for the belt because she's already getting over very easily and improved pretty much across the board in her first month. If she keeps that up, she'll be my most over wrestler, male or female, by Summerslam.</p><p> </p><p>

Triple H and Kurt continued their side of the feud too but Triple H has said he's just an executive now so has brought in EC3 (or will be in the Shake-Up) to face-off with Kurt. I think I'll get a couple more matches out of Angle before letting him settle into retirement. With Triple H and Angle, EC3 should get over nicely.</p><p> </p><p>

Seth continued feuding with Finn and Miz after Mania, and Joe for GRR. I ran a tag match at Backlash, where Finn pinned Miz to retain the IC title for Seth. That is leading to tension, with Finn turning heel in the near future to feud one-on-one with Seth. Miz is off to Smackdown. Joe is the odd-man out.</p><p> </p><p>

The Bar are tag champions once again. I want to feud them with Lesnar/Batista because I found in a post-show tag match that they have great chemistry. Trying to reason the storyline to myself that takes Brock from losing to Roman, giving up his rematch clause, and focusing on The Bar instead. The Bar will win the feud, of course. Probably setting up Batista vs Lesnar for Summerslam with Batista going over and Lesnar leaving. Then have Batista as a part-timer until Mania 35, where he'll go into the HOF.</p><p> </p><p>

Rusev won the US title instead of Jinder in the only Mania retconning I did. In the rematch, Orton broke his Orbital Bone so is on the shelf. Rusev beat Jericho & Wade Barrett at Backlash, with Jericho now disappearing and Barrett moving to Raw. So Rusev is open for challengers, maybe The Miz, Ziggler, Owens or Zayn (the latter two rehired by new Smackdown GM Paige to the chagrin of Shane). I think I'll go with Daniel Bryan vs The Miz, and I want KO and Sami above the US title so probably a boring, reductive feud with Ziggler unless I can find anyone worthy in my NXT call-ups. I'm considering Adam Cole/Undisputed Era, but he's just won a belt down there so probably not. Also considering Killian Dain, or signing someone (Rey Mysterio, John Morrison, Alberto Del Rio, Austin Aries, Nick Aldis are all on my radar right now).</p><p> </p><p>

Smackdown tag belts are still on Bludgeon Brothers, with Usos going back to Raw. I don't want to feud them with New Day so my options are Slater & Rhyno, Rusev Day (possibly combine with a US title feud), or heel teams Primo & Epico, Anderson & Gallows, KO & Sami. Possibly short feud with Slater & Rhyno then turn them to open up opportunities.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm probably two-three months from being where I'd really want to be, roster-wise but things are starting to fall into place.</p>
