What's going on in your game?

[neslo024]

Well apparently in my CZCW game the same workers I booked in January and February, where I was making a profit, are now to expensive and I'm magically losing money in March and April and no I didn't book any differently in the last two months then I did in the previous two. Booked the same guys I always book but now suddenly I'm magically losing money.

 

What is the game world like? If the economy or buisness is in decline you could be getting lower show attendance.

That could be it, though I'd have gotten a message regarding any major downturns in North America wouldn't I? It would've been mentioned in the news ticker wouldn't it?

As we head into July, and the PGHW stars return from a month-long break, with it we come to the second iteration of the G1 Climax.

</span><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">A Block Preview:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">

Magnum Kobe is the obvious favourite. The current PGHW Glory Crown Champion and the reigning G1 Climax winner, he's the top guy in the company. PRIDE Koiso always has a chance but seems to be losing a step and slowing down in the ring. The decline is hitting him hard but don't rule him out. Gakusha is a phenomenal talent who has put on excellent matches but hasn't truly shone yet. This could be his chance. Masaru Ugaki is currently the hottest talent in the company and he may be the best pure athlete in the business. A loss to Mushashibo at WrestleKingdom and a loss in the final of the Elite Series won't deter him. He's due a big win. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">

Aaron Andrews is also the top Gaijin in the company and, as one half of the current PGHW Glory Crown Tag Champs, is no stranger to victory. Funakoshi is the current International champion and is a phenomenal talent. It truly is a stacked block with the potential for upsets aswell.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">

Another stacked block with a few stand out competitors. Mushashibo finished 3rd in his block last year as Magnum Kobe topped it but he bounced back with a brilliant victory over Ugaki at WrestleKingdom. He recently lost in the last 8 of the Elite Series to Aaron Andrews so this is his chance to prove that he's still the true ace of the company.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">

Kawashima lost the Glory Crown title to Kobe at WrestleKingdom and hasn't been the same since. Losing the final of the G1 Climax to Kobe last year, he'll be sure to make amends and get back to challenge for the title again. Emerald Angel had an excellent G1 last year and is always a threat. As is Matthew Keith despite being a tag-team specialist. Eisaku Kunomasu, reigning Historical champion and Elite Series winner, could beat them all despite being 47 years old. Spectacular in one-off bouts, some question whether he has the stamina to compete in another G1 despite a strong showing last year. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">

The most exciting element of the block though definitely looks to be Tommy Gilmore. The former Angry Gilmore in SWF, Tommy has come to PGHW with a renewed sense of fire and passion! His only singles action so far is a victory over Hiroyasu Gakusha and a DQ loss to Masaru Ugaki, both coming in the Elite Series. A man as fired up and unpredictable as Gilmore is sure to make this a must-see tournament!</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Palatino Linotype';">

Ryback requested a release for being made to lose to the following people over the span of 1 Year

Colt Cabana (Had same/slightly more pop then him, also ratings were either the same or in Cabana's favor)

Rey Mysterio (Literally once)

THE UNDERTAKER, AT WRESTLEMANIA.

 

So yeah first time anyone asked for a release and fastest time I ever clicked the accept option as well.

[merrykieran2]

MAW Where it all begins again 2024 is in the books and I truly believe this is the best show we have ever done with our main event being the joint best match in the history of the save with a 78 B.

 

The opening match was a fatal 4 way for the MAW Tag Team Titles as the champions The Caballeros (Jose and Marcos) defeated Blaze and Collier, Dennis York and Reilly Patton and Smooth Heartbreak (Austin Smooth and Bret Heartbreak) to make the 6th successful defence of their titles and to continue their now year plus reign with the belts. Initially the plan here was to put the titles on Smooth Heartbreak who won the Sam Keith Classic but I thought that I would have the reign just go a bit longer. Great opener. 62 C

 

Our 2nd match was a good match and the biggest win in Xavi Ferrara's MAW career as he picked up a huge scalp over former MAW Champion Acid II. This didn't have much build to it but did it's purpose well. 58 C-

 

Next up after two longer matches we had a shorter, cooldown match as former MAW American champion Nate DeMarcus defeated Mutant in what will turn out be Mutant's last match in the company. He's been solid for the most part and always puts out decent ratings but with some new talent starting to get real good from the dojo, I felt it was the right time to move him on and allow someone else to move up. 60 C

 

After this we had the debut of a well hyped up wrestler Hurakan as he debuted against one of the bigger stars in the company and a former Rip Chord Invitational winner Johnny Helmsley. A big win here for Hurakan albeit by roll-up immediately portrays Hurakan as a big player here and shows that he will be a star for us. 43 D

 

Next up is what I imagine to be our mid-show main event before an interval as two former friends, tag partners and tag champions turned bitter rivals Travis Funk and Fro Sure went to war inside of a steel cage. The two share a victory apiece so far after the turn back in January with Travis Funk picking up the first win with his new vicious submission finisher The Funk Lock before Fro Sure got one back at The Battle of the Mid Atlantic. Now this time it was the decider, one the biggest stage and it ended up being their best match and the best match of the night so far as Travis Funk picked up the victory with a moonsault from the top of the cage to establish himself as a star. Funk is one of the dojo graduates who has been around for a long time but hasn't been in the main event picture. With a few people stepping aside this is his and a few others time to really step up and show how good they are. I don't think he will be MAW Champion over the next year or so but he will definitely be in and around the main event scene. As for Fro Sure, like with Mutant he has been good for us but will step aside for the next guys to step up. 63 C

 

Coming back from the break we had our second of three title matches on the night and an absolute banger of a match as "The Destroyer" Beneteau (A regen) retained his MAW American Title against Cameron Jones in just a brutal hoss fight. Ever since Beneteau won the title from Nate DeMarcus earlier this year he has been improving massively and put up a 72 in ring performance here tonight which was only bettered by our MAW Champion himself. Cameron Jones is a former MAW Champion and is great for putting over the new upcoming talent like Benetau and the two delivered a great match here. It's fair to say that Beneteau is definitely a future MAW Champion and it could definitely be this time next year that he holds the main title because he is that damn good. There's a few, including him, that until this point I had not seen in ring performances from outside of El Mitico Jr and now we have multiple people at that level which is great. 72 B-

 

Following on from this we had a great showcase match as TCW alumn Danny Goodridge, who has been having a good year and put up some great performances, defeated former MAW Champion The Architect. This wasn't intended to be a farewell for The Architect but about a week after this I got an email saying that he had been given an offer by SWF which I was delighted to see. He has been fantastic for us and while he was one of the last MAW originals, he has done everything possible with the company and has only been used sparingly for a while. I am really happy to see him finally get signed as in my last MAW save he was one of the few guys that I loved to never get an offer from a big company and that is what MAW is for. 68 C+

 

Our semi main event saw 4 of the biggest stars in the company facing off in tag team action as the heel team of Ernesto Diez and Felipe Caballero defeated the older face duo of Bradford Peverell and George Wolfe. This match had very little build and was just a way of getting 4 main eventers on the card but it delivered the joint second best match of the night and served a purpose in the end anyway. Diez is something that I have been high on for a while and was runner up in both the Rip Chord Invitational and the Sam Keith Classic tournaments this year. I have already decided that he will be the next MAW Champion but I have yet to decide when this will happen. His performances right now remind me so much of El Mitico Jr at the start of the save. 72 B-

 

As I said earlier the main event was the joint best match ever in the save and I expected it to do really well because it's a match I have been waiting to do now for about two years. James Diaz walks in the Mid Atlantic champion with still only one defeat in his entire MAW career and having been champion for an entire year by this point with some great wins over Austin Smooth, George Wolfe and Bradford Peverell solidifying his incredible reign. His opponent is a Mid Atlantic Boot Camp Dojo graduate, a man who came into the industry in the end of 2016 and has been steadily improving ever since then and has been a fantastic face for us. At the start of this year he won the Rip Chord Invitational, beating Ernesto Diez in the final and decided to take his title shot here on the biggest stage in the best match possible. It was a long 20 minute war between the two but in the end it ended up being the Dojo graduate that walked out as MAW Champion giving Diaz his second loss and completing his journey to the top. This was huge for me because never before have I had a dojo graduate become so good that he can be the main champion on my show and this whole story, his whole run just felt so good for me. Incredible story, incredible main event and an incredible end to what was an incredible show. 78 B

 

Moving forward it is all about building up the next generation again. We have a few faces moving on with a few to go in the next year and we have some graduates and some signings that are really starting to build themselves up well and will be big in a couple of years. Next year will be a big one for the company.

<p>I'm doing a Road to Glory inspired game (though since I always go bankrupt when I try I've just ignored the financial element altogether) in TheWho's real world mod, and started a local federation in the tri-state area. Jim Cornette took over, and what transpired from that point was quite the shitshow. I hired a lot of wrestlers who were free agents from WWE - Ryback, Eric Anthony, and Bill Morrissey, and the whole crew turned backstage into a toxic nightmare.</p><p> </p><p>

The first year was nothing but backstage fights, people showing up to work late or on drugs, and bullying the other wrestlers. I didn't want to fire them because continuity of the storylines and whatnot matters to me, so I tried to deal with it with scoldings and fines as needed.</p><p> </p><p>

This worked in a way, because eventually all three of them got angry and left one after another and since then there's been a huge turnaround and things have gotten to a good place.</p><p> </p><p>

Our current singles Champion is John Hennigan. I'm working on developing some tag teams but probably won't make too much progress until we're a small federation.</p><p> </p><p>

My avatar is an upper midcarder currently running a gimmick as a dark cultist, but the random event I rolled just increased his Brute performance by a significant amount so I'm probably going to be transitioning him into some type of Kane-like supernatural monster.</p>

<p>Just finished Saturday Nights Main Event (Feb 1986) WWF</p><p> </p><p>

Dusty Rhodes ( c ) def Hulk Hogan to retain the WWF Championship in a match that had Andre the Giant (#1 contender at Wrestlemania) as the special guest ref/ring enforcer to ensure a fair match since Dusty had won 2 with "dusty" finishes. It didn't turn out to be fair as when Hogan went for the big boot, he accidentally clobbered Andre who crashed through the middle rope and onto the outside. Hogan tried to help his friend back to but Dusty hit Hogan with a chair. Earl Hebner raced down to the ring not long after and Dusty got the 3 count. He will go on to face Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania while Hogan is seemingly left with nothing. (Bruno Sammartino is going to have a one off "once in a lifetime" match with Hogan at Wrestlemania)</p><p> </p><p>

Ricky Steamboat def Jake Robert's by DQ after he went into a rage. Jake has been quite the loose cannon since joining WWF. Tito came to Ricky's defense this time after Ricky came to Titos at Royal Rumble. Gorilla Monsoon has officially had enough and announced that Jake will have 2 opponents at Wrestlemania in a 2 on 1 match, Steamboat and Santana will finally be able to get a "fair" piece of The Snake. </p><p> </p><p>

British Bulldogs def Road Warriors to retain the Tag Team Championships in a respectful face vs face story/feud. Bob Backlund and King Kong Bundy are going to be challenging the Bulldogs at Wrestlemania after being knocked out of the title WWF Championship title race.</p><p> </p><p>

I held a 32 man tournament over the course of a month for the Intercontinental Championship which was vacated by Monsoon after The Snake started acting crazy. The final 4 went into Saturday Nights Main Event with DiBiase beating Savage after Piper cost him the match. In turn, Savage cost Piper his match with Terry Funk. A brawl broke out as the once dominant tag team has completely imploded and now are sworn enemies. DiBiase defeated Funk in the finals and is the new Intercontinental champion! </p><p> </p><p>

Bruiser Brody debuted and targeted Jimmy Snuka with a bloody beatdown, making one of the most memorable WWF debuts to date. </p><p> </p><p>

Other top stars currently not in storylines:</p><p>

AA & Tully Blanchard (h)</p><p>

Hart Foundation (f)</p><p>

Superstar Billy Graham (f)</p><p>

Sgt Slaughter (f)</p><p>

Butch Reed (f)</p><p>

Nikita Koloff (h)</p><p>

Harley Race (h)</p><p>

Jerry Lawler (h)</p><p>

Greg Valentine (h)</p><p> </p><p>

Mr T returned to the wrestling world and was given contracts by me, AWA and JCP. After intense negotiations he signed a 41k 4 year deal with JCP. I dropped out at the end as hed be making top 5 salary with only 80 pop and no skills.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm only a few points in a 2 regions from becoming national. I'm really hoping Wrestlemania puts it over the top but it might be a couple more months. I'm excited that Hogan, Dusty and Andre all have near 100 pop from good booking. Piper, Savage, Steamboat and Roberts are all around 90. DiBiase is also getting over extremely fast.</p>

<p>I'm up to cult with CZCW and everything's going pretty smooth.</p><p> </p><p>

Problem is, Frantic Ali has turned into a weird asshole. First, he turned my entire locker room against Miller Fforde of all people. That worked out since Fforde didn't have great top row skills and I could afford to release him for a morale boost to like half my locker room.</p><p> </p><p>

But now, he's turned the locker room against Marvel Malloy, who in addition to being part of one of the best tag teams in the world has turned into a massively talented singles guy too. And now because Frantic got weird and wants to stir things up backstage I have to worry about face of the company and all around nice guy having a strong dislike relationship with Malloy because I tried to meddle in their relationship and it backfired.</p>

<p>Made it through the second year of my game. I ended up taking a job at a small Australian promotion as a booker which was rough. It took a while for the federation to build some momentum and for the wrestlers to get popular with the crowds (in part because of my own error in not checking all their dispositions so we debuted with almost all faces, lol) but by the end of year 2 things are finally shaking out.</p><p> </p><p>

Bishop Sommers is our reigning Global Champion and Spaceman Dacey holds the Arena Championship. Tag team champs are Einar Ironside and Luke Santamaria. I'm just working as a midcarder after a brief stint as a main eventer, though that was a fluke because I was the only working heel in the fed. I keep applying for jobs in Japanese regional feds as they open up but no luck so far.</p><p> </p><p>

Last years random event was a total misfire. I took a bonus to my Brute performance stat but I lack any of the other stat requirements for Brute gimmicks. Whoops.</p><p> </p><p>

For this year's random event, one of my wrestlers Josh Page became an internet sensation which gives the company, and him, a boost.</p>

<p>AWA July 1990</p><p> </p><p>

We are on track to advance from Cult to National by/before the end of the year. Just need to inch up "Size" score in NW and SW.</p><p> </p><p>

After 7 months as World Champion, Sting dropped the World Title to Curt Hennig.</p><p>

Sting was a good enough champion, but in an effort to differentiate from the WWF I wanted to move away from high profile "characters".</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Adrian Adonis continues to reign as TV Champion (he defeated Shane Douglas in April). Adonis started a gimmick where he only faces low level competition...but that idea was twarted when he was tricked into facing Scott Steiner. Adonis keeps managing to keep the belt from Scott in very close matches.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

The World Tag Titles are still owned by Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson. They've gotten thru everyone they face, yet Barry Windham keeps returning with partners to try to pry the titles off of them.</p><p> </p><p>

Hennig, Blanchard and Anderson are in a stable called The Family, along w/Scott Hall as the muscle and JJ Dillon the manager. The goal was to next get the TV title on Scott so they had "all" the titles...but Hall was injured 2 weeks ago and is out for a month.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

The months of July and August will see several face/heel turns in order to freshen up the roster to create new feuds. I've also formed relationships with all 3 MEX companies so I can import new challenges for Sting and Hennig periodically.</p><p> </p><p>

I lost Ted DiBiase and Big Van Wader to the WWF when their contracts came up for renewal. I could have afforded to match the offers, but it was SO high that I worried my other Main Eventers would start looking for higher pay, also.</p><p>

Terry Gordy left when his freelance contact ended.</p><p> </p><p>

Ray Traylor, despite a huge push, has asked for his release. Given the amount of effort I've put behind his push (and the fact that WWF or WCW would snatch him up in minutes) I denied him his release.</p><p> </p><p>

Other top stars in the AWA include Michael Hayes, Punnisher Marc Callous, Brian Pillman, Dick Slater, Jimmy Garvin and Jerry Lawler.</p>

WWF July 1997

 

I finally got a new computer and everything moves so fast right now. Can forward through a week in no time. Perfect time to get my one last save going again before it is time to move on to new game.

 

It is all about Eddie Guerrero at the minute. One of those things you don't really plan ahead for.

 

Anyway, he was full on villain from 1993. His greatest moment was defeating Rey Mysterio Jr for the cruiserweight title at Wrestlemania 12. He had a year + long reign with average rating of 88. During the run he was starting to show compassion you don't expect to see from the bad guys. Fans are falling in love with him.

 

Jeff Hardy defeats Eddie for the title at Canadian Stampede with a 90 in a 14 minute match. (April 1997) Sacrificed a few points rating but they did me proud. Jeff is now on fire because of how hot Eddie is. In real life, Eddie would have lost 7/10 times and then Jeff Hardy winning the title would be like another day at the office. I know how to book.

 

Bret is in full anti-USA mode, along with Owen, Anvil and Teddy Hart. Chris Jericho was kicked out.

 

British Bulldog is using a gladiator gimmick. (think Spartacus tv show) I've called him Gannicus even though he behaves and looks more like Crixus. Yeah, this is my universe. He wants no part of the Hart Foundation. Doesn't believe in things like that, or something. Different woman with him each week and they all love him.

 

Eddie's momentum is strong again after losing the cruiserweight title. He wins the king of the ring, defeating The Rock in the final. One of those times when I don't really make much use for the king gimmick apart form the fact that it wins you a WWF title shot.

 

Bret has been watching on. He asks Eddie to join him. Owen gets the trumpet out and starts playing mariachi music with Teddy. Eddie is blown away by the performance, before the obvious refusal.

 

Vince Russo has this aliens are here style gimmick. He has been spreading the word that Bret Hart fears Eddie Guerrero. They have only had 1 1v1 match for me before. No negative chemistry hits or anything. It should be awesome. One of the rare times I'm still trying to figure out what to do. Eddie feels so hot that maybe it has to be done right now.

 

The other part of me is keep it on Bret until Wrestlemania. Austin finally gets him again. Austin vacated the WWF title in late 1996 after winning at Wrestlemania 12. The injury and vacated title was caused by long term enemy Randy Savage. They finally settled up at Wrestlemania 13.

 

Austin got a shot a month later and would have defeated Bret, but a masked man interfered and hit Austin with Chair after ref had been knocked down. Bret was not amused with this. He said he did not want to win the American way.

 

Just ask any Canadian at all, any real Canadian. They will tell you that I am not capable of such a disgusting move. Austin might be a low-class piece of American scum but I have full respect for his wrestling ability. The ring is sacred ground.

 

You guessed it. It is eventually revealed that Chris Jericho was the man wearing the mask. He lost the plot after losing a 100 rated WWF title match to Austin. Has been plotting his revenge for a long time. Bret is furious at this but there is no attack or drama. Jericho says that he fully understands.

 

Austin and Jericho just have it together. They had another 100 match. I've had less than 10 100 matches in this whole save so that is pretty amazing from them. Jericho is finally going to have his moment at Summerslam. Gonna do some sort of recreation of Wrestlemania 13 and Summerslam 1997. Jericho will do a middle top tombstone style move, Austin will be prepared for it. Jericho then locks Austin in the walls for long time baby. Of course, Austin would never tap out. He eventually goes unconscious and Jericho gets his win. ( and IC title. Austin won the IC title from Jericho in their previous match.)

 

Other Summerslam plans.

 

Road Warriors defend tag team titles vs Dudleyz in a tables match. I've booked the Warriors stronger than any team I've done before. Proud to win a tag team of the year with them and that just doesn't happen for me. It's usually A team from Japan. But nothing lasts forever. This is their third reign with 12 successful defenses. The time could be now for the Dudleyz.

The Rock vs Hulk Hogan

I don't have this game lined up with real life. Certain events happening years before. Hogan defeated The Rock at Wrestlemania 13 and then went off to do a movie. He will return just in time for Summerslam and I believe the time is now for The Rock. He has the nation with him this time. (Harlem Heat and D'lo.)

 

Hogan left for WCW in early1992 and has been back since September 1995. Came back as a heel but that didn't last long. Rock was part of the heel group as Hogan's protege.

 

Jeff Hardy defends cruiserweight in 4 man elimination match. Rey Mysterio Jr, Juventud Guerrera and The Gambler.

 

Kurt Angle recently made his debut. The Owner character is JR Ewing. He's full on fanboy of Kurt. He asks Angle what he would like at Summerslam.

If it is not crispy then it is not bacon. I don't think I have ever seen anything as crisp as a Ricky Steamboat arm-drag. Oh, it's damn true.

http://www.oocities.org/wrestling60/KurtAngle/angle4.jpg

 

We're going to do Angle vs Steamboat. Steamboat is on time decline and thinking the time is now to move him to road agent. Kurt will be pushed.

Kane vs Brian Pillman

 

This all started because of Pillman asking some questions he shouldn't have on his talk show. Mocking Paul Bearer wasn't a wise move either.

 

The Undertaker is going off with his music band before Summerslam. Kane will be part of his exit. Just not sure on the details yet. The Undertaker has been using the Jedi gimmick for a long time. Mankind is a fellow Jedi. Why not? Going to change him into ministry style look and music when he returns as a SITH!

 

I've been thinking ahead for this one. Undertaker will come out and say that Paul Bearer was right etc. Of course, he doesn't forgive or forget. Kane then chokeslams Bearer as Undertaker gives us a creepy laugh.

 

Harlem Heat vs Tojo Clan (Hayabusa and Kiryu Kizawa.) Yeah, you know the drill. I play the Yakuza games and just have to get Kiryu involved in my TEW game.

 

 

Other stuff to get organized on next Raw.

<p>Coming up on year 3 of my real world, easy mode (infinite money) RTG inspired playthrough. I'm still working at a small Australian, daredevil focused promotion. The last year was rough. The high daredevil meant that every show has two people out with injuries from the last show. I've had to expand the roster to make sure that we have coverage when there's injuries which I avoided for a while, but it had to be done.</p><p> </p><p>

Last year's viral internet sensation, Josh Page, has become the big draw of the fed. He's our top star, but due to a tendency to botch moves has injured nearly every other wrestler in the federation and now everyone hates him. He's feeling really isolated from the rest of the roster, and he might not stick around for much longer. But in the meantime he's become our most prestigious Global title holder, hanging on to the strap for 41 defences.</p><p> </p><p>

My character is still working as a midcarder. His skills are improving and he puts on D- performances which are the best the fed can manage really.</p><p> </p><p>

Currently Gabriel Wolfe holds both my Global (main event) and Arena (midcard) straps, and Einar Ironside and Luke Santamaria are my tag team champions (with some title changes since last year.)</p><p> </p><p>

This year's random event gives my character a +5 to psychology from his training.</p>

It's fair to say that 2025 is the year that MAW became the best promotion in the world led by the insane performances of James Diaz, Ernesto Diez and Anthony smith. This time last year I was celebrating us equalling our best ever match with a 78 B and then this year we went and smashed it out the park by beating it 8 times and equalling it once. This is the year James Diaz went mad as he started getting 100 A* ratings for all his entertainment angles and over the course of the year he went for C- minus popularity to 86 B+ pop despite the fact we are still not a Cult company. If he doesn't get signed very soon it would be really unrealistic as in the Mid Atlantic region he is one of the most over in the world. As well as him going insane, January saw the debut into the world of 18 year old Tommy Cornell Jr. and I did something I don't do very often and edited it so that he would not go to 21CW as his dad had left their in controversial circumstances and I don't see his son going there because of that. Also, I just really wanted to use him.

 

So in January there was only one option to win the Rip Chord Invitational and that was Tommy Cornell Jr. who beat Travis Funk, Jose Cruz (New signing), Ricky Muscles and then Japanese legend Eien Miyamoto in the final to be my 9th winner of the tourney. The ratings weren't great but right from the start Cornell Jr came in as one of my top guys.

 

At the Wrestling Classic our main event saw the tag team titles change for the first time in nearly two years as Smooth Heartbreak defeated The Caballeros to become MAW Tag Team Champions for the first time in their careers.

 

Super Showdown was a huge show for us as the main event was a Super Showdown indeed. Anthony Smith would put his MAW Title on the line against the former champion James Diaz and the man who had won number one contendership at Night of the champions, Ernesto Diez. In an 82 B and what was at that point the best match in MAW History, Ernesto Diez would shock the world and become MAW Champion ending Smiths reign before it really got the chance to take off. Also, on this show we had a 77 B as Tommy Cornell Jr. defeated Ricky Muscles.

 

Next up was Americana and we would have another sensational match as the two losers from the triple threat last month, James Diaz and Anthony Smith, battled for the number one contendership to that MAW Title. In a fantastic 81 B James Diaz would get revenge on Smith for Where it all begins again and get himself a future rematch for the MAW Title.

 

Old School Rules was main evented by two of our biggest stars facing off as Tommy Cornell Jr defeated Bradford Peverell in a great 77 B.

 

Another B rated match came next month as Ernesto Diez picked up a huge victory over James Diaz to retain his MAW Title for the first time in an 81 B. And then following the match Danny Goodridge confronted Ernesto Diez wanting to be the next challenger for the title only for James Diaz to start beating him down. However, Diaz' long time rival Nate DeMarcus came down to make the save only for DeMarcus to make a shocking heel turn and ally himself with James Diaz. This was what Nate needed as since he lost his American Title he has been pretty lost but since the heel turn he has been becoming really good and I am considering putting the MAW Title on him next year although there are a lot of heels that I want to put that title on at this point.

 

The next shois one of my least favourite shows of the year if I'm going to be completely honest: The Sam Keith Classic. However, I really enjoyed this years show as this year I have focused on revitalizing our pretty meh tag team division. The winner of the tournament this year ended up being the team of Danny Goodridge and Tommy Cornell Jr. as they defeated James Diaz and Nate DeMarcus in the finals.

 

The main event of the Battle of the Middle Atlantic was a MAW Championship match and another 78 B as Ernesto Diez retained his title against Danny Goodridge following interference from Nate DeMarcus. Also on this show Quentin Queen defeated the first ever 2 time Mid Atlantic American title Beneteau to take the title away from him. Last year him and Cameron Jones traded the title back and forth but since then he had been dominant and Queen came in and rolled him up to take that title.

 

Our final show before Where it all begins again was The Clash and we had a great show that began with an 80 B as James Diaz defeated Danny Goodridge closely followed by a 72 B- as Tommy Cornell Jr. defeated Nate DeMarcus. Then, in the semi main event we had a 78 B as Anthony Smith defeated Bradford Peverell to let him go to the Where it all begins again main event for the 2nd year in a row. The main event ended up only being a 76 B- as Ernesto Diez retained his MAW Title against Hurakan meaning next month's Where it all begins again main event is Ernesto Diez vs Anthony Smith for the MAW Title.

 

I'll post about Where it all begins again tomorrow or this would be far too long

[Pseudo]

Year 3, still working as a midcarder in a small Australian federation. We're starting to hit D- shows and I'm really hoping to hit regional at some point in the next year or two.

 

Current champions:

Global - Kai Drake

Arena - Josh Haze

Tag - still Luke Santamaria and Einar Ironside. It changes now and then but always comes home to them.

 

Random event - war is good for business, so we're declaring war on another small Australian fed. That should be interesting.

[MightyDavidson]

Well I'm playing NYCW and I'm discovering that the mere presence of Chance Fortune on my card is capable of undoing all the carefully laid booking I'd been doing the entire year in game.

 

KP Avatar and Jack, an upper midcarder and a midcarder respectively, suddenly drop to the lower midcarder as soon as Chance appears on the card. Phillipe LeGrenier, who'd just begun climbing out of the Lower Midcard is dropped down to Opener status. The Silencer who was gearing up to be top heel is dropped to the midcard and the friggin Old School Principals, who I was starting to phase out have their old top of the card push again for some reason.

[Pseudo]

Year 4 - finally hit regional! The war with the other Australian federation hasn't amounted to much since we blew past them in size (we're currently the largest Australian federation). I've tried to engage with it some by hiring their talent when the opportunity arises but usually that means passing up on better talent so I'm trying to strike a balance.

 

We're starting to hit D shows which is cool. I should probably clear some cruft from my roster and hire some better talent but I'm always really reluctant to do that and try to fill spots as they open up organically.

 

I'm still working as a midcarder. I think my mistake was starting with a 0 star power. It grows so slowly compared to everything else and seems to be a major consideration in who should be a main eventer.

 

Current title holders:

Global - Leigh Sampson

Arena - Spaceman Dacey

Tag Team - my character and Rhys Youngblood

 

My random event - "The Real Rock n' Rolla". I gain some microphone and charisma and I'm now a musician.

[Vinsmoker]

In my RW playthrough with WWE 2019 Randy Orton just failed the steroid test for a fourth time, so I fired him, while he was in my WWE Championship feud with Braun Strowman. My plans are completely messed up now, but hey. A policy is a policy -_-

 

Jinder Mahal and the Singh brothers failed it at the same time, btw.

So they're gone to, but I wasn't renewing their contracts anyway

[johndango]

I've been playing a very heavily modified game that is a blend of fiction and non-fiction. When I started my save a couple of years ago I had just returned to wrestling fandom after paying zero attention for a lot of years. So I took a real-life mod (can't remember which one) and then took over from there and now the world is more non-fiction than fiction after only 4 in-game years. Example: I started as a re-born WCW in 2005 (since WCW was the last thing I watched as a fan) but now my company has been re-branded into a fictional ACW (a not so subtle allusion to my NEW fandom: AEW).

 

I'm playing with essentially infinite money and no owner goals, so I'm playing on easy but I didn't want my creativity to be stifled by these restraints. One by one I turn on more advanced features as I get more comfortable with TEW.

 

Right now I'm in the business of using the old stars I have (Goldberg, Sting, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker, etc) in tag teams or to put over a younger generation. Edge and Christian have had a good long run as the best tag team in the world winning my titles 5 times over the course of 3 years so now I'm using them to build up the next set of tag team super stars as well. I'd list names, but they're all fictional workers or real-workers (that i didnt recognize when i started my game) with fictional names and gimmicks (some of which DEFINITELY did not match the person, now that I know them haha). I only have one A show, because I wanted to hand-book everything while still having time pass at a decent rate. I'm at like 600 hand-booked shows or something now (I USED to have more than one show a week).

 

I've also created or bought child promotions in all areas of the world and put them in an alliance, started my own 24 wrestling TV channel, and put all of those child promotions on TV. I've got an affiliated hardcore division in America, an affiliated Candian promotion, luchador promotion, and woman's promotion. I need to open a European one eventually. No other areas of the world are active in my game.

 

I'm having a ton of fun and am really into my extremely customized world, even if it's not realistic or anything like that.

[Zeel1]

Okay so I'm running this custom-made fed in an early 2000s real world mod. It sorta uses a sports presentation, it's called the Wrestling Premier League. Admittedly just an unused C-Verse promotion name that I'm really fond of and like to go with.

 

After a few in-game years, I've recently grown to the point where I was comfortable making a developmental promotion. In going with the theme, I just named it Wrestling Minor League. Not super fond of WML as an acronym, I ended up just having 'Minors' as the shortened name.

 

And that's why this screencap exists.

 

[Vinsmoker]

Well...I would say your company is in Danger, but seems that Ziggler was quicker with that

[RatedRKO16]

Should change his name to Dolph Danger

[merrykieran2]

I DID IT. The year is 2027 and MAW is Cult. It was taking so long building up my pop in the Great Lakes that it would have took me another 5 years to reach it so I started doing a weekly show there which I auto-booked and now at the first week of February, I am a Cult promotion. I am expecting to struggle here for a bit because TCW is also Cult but even reaching this point is insane to me. Being Cult also means that if I wanted to, I could tie down my top stars like James Diaz and Anthony Smith to written deals but to me this isn't how MAW should be. I really enjoy being the company that builds up the future and then lets them go to other companies so I have capped our size growth at Cult and I will not be making a TV show as personally this is not how I would enjoy MAW.

 

Speaking of James Diaz and Anthony Smith, 2026 was another banger of a year for them. Last year James Diaz became World Champion at night of the champions while Anthony Smith won the main event of Where it all begins again to become a 2 time MAW Champion. Both men are giving out 100 A* promos every time and by the end of the year Anthony Smith had a 95 in ring performance which is bloody insane. Another man who had a great year was Acid II who for a long time has been the main eventer that puts over the future but as it was 10 years since he won my first ever rip chord invitational, I decided to do a redemption story with him and it ended up being one of my favourite stories I've done yet. He won the RCI for the 2nd time, 10 years after the last, by defeating the really promising youngster Ricky Muscles in the final and then went on to defeat James Diaz for the World Title at Fan Festival. However, in his first defense against the former champion he would lose that title back to Diaz following interference from James Diaz's friend Nate DeMarcus and later in the show DeMarcus would shock the world as with the help of James Diaz, he defeated Anthony Smith to become MAW Champion. This is something that I am really proud of as in my last save DeMarcus was one of the guys released within a year but this time around I have built him into a star and his alliance with Diaz just shot him to that next level which allowed him to become MAW Champion.

 

The outcomes of this show led to our two Where it all begins again main events. The first of which saw the MAW Title on the line as Nate DeMarcus defended against the legendary Acid II while our main event of our biggest show of the year for the 2nd time in 3 years saw James Diaz defending his COTT World title against Anthony Smith. The first main event saw Acid II overcome the size disadvantage and cap off a great year by becoming MAW Champion for the 2nd time in his career while in the main event, Anthony Smith would defeat James Diaz once more and for the first time in his career he was a World Heavyweight champion.

 

 

The plans right now aren't set in stone as to what will happen but with the MAW Title I am planning on Acid II losing it to 'The Destroyer' Beneteau and then losing a rematch and when he wants one more shot, Beneteau wants something put on the line as well so Acid II puts up his mask. I have yet to decide if he will lose his mask or win back the title for a 3rd time but either way it is sure to be emotional. As for the World Title, currently the plans are for them to main event Where it all begins again for the 3rd time once more but this time the roles will be reversed. After years of being the valiant underdog and fan favourite, Anthony Smith will turn heel on James Diaz and turn Diaz face in the process and they will have their final ever match against each other at Where it all begins again 2027, ending their insane rivalry with a James Diaz win.

 

 

Honestly though, I just love this save so much and it's probably my favourite TEW save I've ever done
