The standard thing for male wrestlers is a pay dispute or similar argument. Promoters in TEW are basically Ian Rotten but sleazier.

jeez uspw went all in on khoklov. 4 years into my local to global save.

 

[WynterWarm12]

 

Well then...

 

There's always a home for you at good ol' WWE though, Okada Please rage quit NJPW so I can sign you lol

 

Didn't expect to see that in my newsfeed. I think this may have been the first time this has happened in one of my saves. Unless I've just missed the other times.

Kikkawa, who didn't re-sign with BHOTWG in 2017 (and signed with me in July), got the head booker job from his buddy Tetsuzan. Likewise, we have ceased our hostility with BHOTWG thanks to Komine's friendship with Kudo (I'm playing the head booker Dread). Kudo won't let me do a working agreement with them, but it doesn't really matter because BHOTWG hasn't touched a single one of my workers since Komine returned to power. </p><p> </p><p> If you're interested, I'll make a post on the "What is going on in your game" thread, there is so much to talk about in this playthrough tbh.</p>

Not good, but TCW doesn't have a very popular roster at all (a lot of dojo grads). If anyone can work their way up, it'd be him. MAW gave him a final swansong, him main eventing against Harvey Robbinfield in a losing effort for the MAW title.</p>

<p>So Keneko is really running PGHW down into the ground. This happened 3 months after he took over</p><p> </p><p>

Previously, he signed a bunch of journeymen to the roster on writtens (always dumb if you're bleeding money) so this is what post-cut PGHW looks like:</p><p> </p><p>

Cool part is, Golden Kingdom is next month for me, and the card just got 300% times beefier, especially after poaching Greg Gauge back from Burning Hammer.</p>

This should be interesting to follow. Michaels trained at the WCW Power Plant with his friend David Young, and had a few dark matches on WCW TV shows before moving to ECWA. ECWA and PWA is pretty much the places to be for the indy darlings. In march he also signed a short PPV contract as an jobber for WWF and now this happens. I'll guess that his skills will skyrocket, when having Ricky Steamboat as a mentor.</p>

Raven Robinson and Jim Force have just started dating in my TCW game...<img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>2.5 years into my indy split. Just for some interesting news for this save. Rip Chord went Toxic and has been unemployed since. Jack Bruce suffered a career ending injury and is currently a manager in HGC. Sam Keith left SWF for HGC within the last 2 months. HGC has purchased and owns their own maxed out broadcaster. Enormous EVERYTHING. They are head and shoulders killing everyone. But I see this Indy show pop up March 1999. Main Event is the shamed HGC legend Rip Chord vs HGC Midcarder Larry Wood. But the co-main event... Current HGC Main Eventers Sam Keith and Bryan Vessey vs the greatest duo in wrestling history. The figureheads of SWF and HGC Sam Strong and Christian Faith. Meanwhile The Hype has become an indy Tri State monster taking the Dave Extreme title for a few months before losing is to Nemesis.</p><p> </p><p>

NOTBPW also closed down after being purchased by SWF. Burning Hammer took out most if not all Japanese companies including PGHW. Crazy thing is the original Burning Hammer owner was fired and replaced with the forrm PGHW owner.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

That's the head referee of the No. 1 company in the world spilling the beans on the drug culture backstage. The <em><strong>12</strong></em> "fallout" headlines following it are him developing negative relationships with the wrestlers he named... and they're some of the company's biggest stars.</p>

Ok so this happened. A zero rated grade. So maybe Ludvig Borga was right that Americans is strange and that they doesn't appreciate international style wrestling. Hence the rating. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>
