Official "Booking Committee" Thread

[Winter8905]

<p>Guys learn quicker under 30 years old past 30 years old, however they can still gain after 30 up untill they hit time decline.</p><p> </p><p>

He must have been on a good destiny roll and had matches with great opponants.</p>

[sabataged]

<p>I have decided my favorite booking result comment is when two random guys thrown together have excellent chemistry tagging together. Almost my while tag division is built on this. </p><p> </p><p>

Steven Parker and Des David</p><p>

David Wayne Newton and Spencer Spade</p><p>

El Mitico Jr and Hugh Amerie</p><p>

AntMan and Joe Sexy</p><p>

And my personal favorite</p><p> </p><p>

Ernest Youngman Logan Wolfsman....two enhancement talent youngsters I teamed in a squash match. A year later they are Midcarders with a high tag rating</p>

[Rayelek]

<p>So I had a mass talent exodus (to bigger and brighter things) the same month that I gave the tag titles to then midcard pairing Jamie Atherton & Jayson Van Pelt, The Canadian Outlaws. After the exodus, Atherton autopushes to Main Event and with his star quality and mic skills, I kinda want to give him the belt, especially since I want to get it off of now flabby face champ Harry Allen, who is probably done after this "season" of my company. (12 month seasons)</p><p> </p><p>

Now, what I want to do with Atherton is have him throw down the tag titles, declare them beneath him, and move on to title contention. The question is, this leaves Van Pelt in the lurch. He is still midcard, though not far from Upper Mid.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm looking at the following choices, but would also accept a better one if it showed up:</p><p>

*Turn Van Pelt face, have him feel offended and keep Atherton busy for a bit (allows Allen to finish his feud with the Rudos stable and Devious Doctor Fang)</p><p>

*Leave Van Pelt heel but have him find a new tag team partner (perhaps NBT Drake Young) and keep the belts</p><p>

*Leave Van Pelt heel and have him also go solo and after the midcard title held by also heel Sonny Wildside</p><p>

*Other?</p>

Have Van Pelt team up with Wildside, and then try to prove to Atherton that he was real power behind the team all along.</p>

[c-bu]

<p>Curious, does anyone here scheduled a kickoff TV show? For example, I have Summerslam coming up and I have a feeling not all the matches will fit, so I was considering putting on a 1 or 2 hour "B Show" Summerslam Kickoff TV Show, so the contract with the chosen network would be for 1 episode only. Depending on how it fairs, I was going to do it on the big 4 events then maybe the rest.</p><p> </p><p>

Was wondering if anybody has tried this already and what the results were?</p><p> </p><p>

NB: I would put the pre-show on the WWE Network as I usually put my big 4 events on PPV, and other events on WWE Network only.</p>

[pantaloons]

<p>I run my PPVs on the last Saturday of the month. I also run my b show on Saturday, and the 4th Saturday the show is basically my pre-show for my PPV.</p><p> </p><p>

The only real issue I ran into is that appearing on the "pre-show" doesn't count as an appearance on the PPV, and some workers may be upset if they are left off of the PPV. I usually combat this by having interviews on the PPV for anyone who may have morale problems from that.</p><p> </p><p>

Other than that it's pretty cool to to have a b show in front of 50,000 people.</p>

I think it would be a matter of managing expectations based on push.</p>

Could Van Pelt turn paradoxical face? You know face with heelish tendencies in sort of the Latino Heat vein. Where Eddie lied, cheated and stole but the crowd loved him for it anyway. Except overlooking his dishonesty, it's his arrogance the crowd loves him for anyway because it ain't bragging if you can do it.</p><p> </p><p> Essentially what I'm thinking is Van Pelt attempts that Atherton distraction program. But after the next true face is ready to take up that mantle, Van Pelt decides he really shouldn't bother. He's wasting his energy and he's tired of it. Just as Atherton has demonstrated his mastery of the singles game, he should demonstrate his dominance in what he does best. That being tags. So he brags how he can take anybody and make them champion. So one of the heels offers Van Pelt a bet. If he loses, he'll team with Van Pelt. If Van Pelt loses, the heel picks his next partner. Van Pelt loses and the heel introduces this "relative" of his. The most lime green, talent devoid lump you can find to sign and Van Pelt has to put his money where his mouth is. Can he do it? Can he really win the tag belts with this albatross around his neck or is he unworthy of the crowd's respect because he was just a blowhard after all?</p>

Simply because Allen will be gone, and he should put over the Rudos stable. </p><p> </p><p> Expanded answer: A lot depends on what you want to do with Atherton. What is his SQ and where does he rank? If Atherton can be your company face, turn him after winning the title (and rematch) and have Van Pelt interfere later. As the two are no "longer on speaking terms", vacate the belts -- and have a tournament. </p><p> </p><p> Add in some "random pairings" with similar skills/size and hope for positive chemistry. </p><p> </p><p> Either way: have Allen burn his rematch clause on the way out before he moves on. Wait until at least then to turn Atherton. I'd have Van Pelt interfere in the next defense -- leading to either a DQ or count-out decision with the challenger (Fang?) and leading to a stip match (ladder or steel cage) to prevent interference. Van Pelt would earn a shot at the title, and be built into a "legitimate contender" -- I'd try to get a non-decision or draw in the first match-- I sometimes use the Last Man Standing Match to get the desired "draw" result, but an Ironman or Ultimate Submission match works too. I'm not sure a double fall (scaffold) or double cage escape (cage classic, cage escape) will work in ACPW (I think you need sports ent. finish) but they are also options. </p><p> </p><p> If you want Pelt to take the title, wait until six months have passed since the first encounter, and have Van Pelt win the fifth match between the two -- so Jamie can burn his rematch clause in the sixth match. I'd have Van Pelt fail in his fourth or fifth defense in their seventh encounter, and have Jamie run with the belt for a year+ after that.</p>

<p>Got a fun problem to have.</p><p> </p><p>

In my current CornellVerse game (just started my second year), I've got Ernest Youngman, Greg Gauge, and Kirk Jameson in a faction called The Uprising. The goal was to gradually get them over, and it's worked. They're all at about 60 popularity across the US.</p><p> </p><p>

At some point this year, though, I'm probably going to want to split them up. Since they can all play faces, I'm thinking about turning one of them face to set up a triple threat match. My question: Which one do I turn? Here's some quick background.</p><p> </p><p>

Youngman: Tremendous worker, time very much on his side (he's 23), decent talker. Bad news: No flashiness at all.</p><p> </p><p>

Gauge: Very solid worker who can also work with lighter guys, decent talker, not quite as young as Youngman but still plenty of career left. Bad news: Everything he does well, Youngman probably does a hair better.</p><p> </p><p>

Jameson: Narrowly the best babyface gimmick rating, can work a good match with pretty much everyone. Bad news: He's not much of a talker.</p>

[Koholos]

<p>Jameson, and get him a good valet. He's the pretty boy type, so a bubbly face manager turning him into a good guy would be believable. Talking is a lot easier to balance for than bad wrestling.</p><p> </p><p>

Youngman has always just looked like a heel to me. And Greg's father is still one of the best heels of all time, so he should really only turn face off of some major loss after being beaten down for a Main Event title.</p>

Every match Jameson is in has some screwy crap involved, but he keeps getting the win. Meanwhile Greg storms through the tournament no problem (Youngman either shouldn't be in the tournament or go 1-1, he's too young, man). The last show is the final, Jameson comes to the ring looking like crap, then Gauge comes out with Youngman, Ernie states that he's going to bet on the obvious choice (Gauge) which causes the split (and another split later if you want). Ernie stays at ringside and interferes. Greg either wins which sets up a cage match where Jameson completes the turn, or Boston Kirk wins the final and completes the turn right there. That's what I'd do, bro. Ratings.</p>

<p>Booking my own fed.</p><p> </p><p>

So i have a small respect for wrestling fed and i control the great avatar as an active wrestler. My champion is Brendan Idol and he already went through and beat Rocking Ryan Turner. His next opponent is Max Mayhem. My question is since my company has yet to have a stipulation match. What stip should i use for Max Mayhem to beat Brendan Idol or should i just let them go 30 minutes and let them tell the story?</p>

I'm doing a good old fashioned WWE save which is around a year in. Currently trying to push 205 as a show and I've decided i'm going to do an inter-brand style feud. Essentially a "network executive" is going to turn up on 205 to announce that the show is being cancelled and being replaced with the weekly British Wrestling show. I'm mainly doing this as a way to introduce an influx of British talent to 205 without just lumping them all on with no cause. It's going to eventually be resolved in a 2 hour network special pitting the Cruiserweight's against some of Britain's finest to determine what show gets the slot. </p><p> </p><p> The two things I need help for are essentially; a name for the network executive(being played by Truth Martini), i'm wanting something that essentially sounds quite high society, business esq and I also need a general manager figure for 205 live, ideally someone who was featured heavily in the Cruiserweight division. Was leaning towards Mysterio but I just couldn't imagine it.</p>

Looking to rename Danny Fonzarelli in my TCW game. He's turning heel and switching to an Arch Competitor gimmick, stating that he's 40 and doesn't have time anymore to have fun and play with the fans if he wants to be champion. If it makes a difference, I'm also planning on turning Mighty Mo and having him go by simply Mo Barrett. I've been watching too much Monday Night Wars on WWE Network and the less realistic gimmicks aren't doing it for me.

[Winter8905]

<p>Looking for alternative ideas of how to book I have gotten a lot of guys over the past 3 and half years in game but overwhelmed at who to push for the strap.</p><p> </p><p>

CZCW into October 2019 , at Cult. </p><p> </p><p>

My Main Eventers .</p><p> </p><p>

Tommy Cornell: been with the company under a year, held the title once for story pruposes and has just won The CZCW Best in the World Tournament. Idea is to have him finally disobay my user that hired him back to degrade him after my user ran out Tommy and the TCW invasion a few months ago. Winning this gets him a CZCW title shot in a match and event of his chosing. Flash ordered him to give up his shot, but will he?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Chris Flash Hart: My User , active worker and the boss. Current CZCW Champion, easily enough to slot him in and out of the picture. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Cali Love Machine- got him over, and developed him to be a proper Main eventer, proud of him, the first two years was the story of his rise from midcarder to top champion, losing to my user at every shot he earned untill he got his win and the title at Welcome to the coastal Zone. He's allways there or there abouts. </p><p> </p><p>

Jay Chord- was the intial leader of the invasion untill tommy appeared, a former CZCW champion and always been in the main event. Gottne him outof the title main event scene by bringing him back after being fired due to his role in the invasion, he came back as the Black Cougar, the new arch enemy of Masked Cougar. </p><p> </p><p>

These top 4 have been in the main events of the top shows for pretty much the past 2 years. </p><p> </p><p>

These following guys are guys who have had shots but only at the filler PPV's to give the champ title defences, but have been pushed well outside of it and guys I'd liek to give shots too..</p><p> </p><p>

Main event </p><p> </p><p>

Fox Mask and Remmy Sky: Haven't held the top strap since i've booked, they were used in filler PPV main events. However they had a massive 2 year tag title reign that shot the prestige up to 100. Flaoting around at the moment. </p><p> </p><p>

Jacob Jett, has him about 18 month/ 2 years. he was aimless for the first couple of months in the midcard untill i noticed he was bloody awesome. He got a push towards the Extreme title (My IC titleP) held that a while , lost it and recaptured it. He's currently feuding with American Elemental II to get him up to Jetts level. Jett could easily hold the CZCW championship. </p><p> </p><p>

American Elemental II low Main eventer, feuding with Jett for the Extreme title, next step is for him to capture the title, but he's good enough at 23 to perhaps go for the top strap. </p><p> </p><p>

Fro Sure: Had him since the start: Flaoting around the estreme title at the start and was going to be pushed hard early untill he broke Super Ninja's neck, I halted the push and he's been floating, winning against midcarders, losing against the champion, but the past year putting on some top class matches. He may be due a big push for the top strap. He's in a stable with Ross Henry and Swoop. </p><p> </p><p>

Ross Henry: I pushed this guy hard as soon as he was available, winning my rumble and capture the title, winning a couple of things pretty early but then realised he has a limit on his performances and as I was growing other guys were out performing him, he kept his overness but has disappointing in the his recent matches jobbing to the champion in filler PPV's. Not considering pushing him for the title again and running outof ideas once he's finished being the leader of his stable. </p><p> </p><p>

El Hijo Del Zonk- I got him for my Extreme title division but he's impressed and got naturally over to low main event, he'd be an odd guy to book but he would be fresh as the CZCW champion.</p><p> </p><p>

Scout: This guy, i signed him as a solo guy first, he captured the top strap as a transitional champ as he was putting on great maches, feuded with my user, then with his partner guide ended the 2 year run of Zoned out for the tag titlesand held them for the better part of the year. was seriously considering Scout getting another reign, as he's 41 and not in time decline... untill he caused 3 fights in 4 months.... he could still be a top champion ..but I dunno. </p><p> </p><p>

Mainstream Hernandez: was signed a couple months ago and built up to main event and now one of the franchise workers, he's flrited with taking the title but just came short. he could easily be a champion and one of the forerunners to be the next champion. </p><p> </p><p>

Shooter Shaun Deeley: He was signed to the gatekeeper at uppermidcard where you beat him to get a good win towards your title match. however he got over naturally to main event and has picked up a handful of 90's the past few months, could easily be a top champion, liking this guy more and more</p><p> </p><p>

Spencer Spade: recently signed, my efforts of keeping him no higher then uppermid for the next year didn't work when he got naturally over. Is the current tag champions with Matt Hocking. With a small push he could take the top strap.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Upper Midcarder: </p><p> </p><p>

These guys who are just a win or two away for being main event and could easily be involved in holding the title: </p><p> </p><p>

GLORY: Nelson Callum, Casey Valentine and Kirk Jameson were all signed at the same time from USPW, i've put them in a stable to feud with Ross Henry's stable. to keep 6 guys busy. but these 3 could easily make the step up .</p><p> </p><p>

Swoop McCarthy: signed a year or so ago and slow built him up from midcard, I see him as a key guy in the future but haven't found the right way to and feud to push him tot he top yet. </p><p> </p><p>

El Mitico Jr: Was originally one of the forerunners for a push at the top strap when he signed him but there was allready one person ahead of him or slightly doing better than him, then i put him in Extreme title feuds and again, he never quite got it, still great but others are just that bit better than him. He would be solid top champion.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

The other Upp midcarders are either not quite there or pretty much tag team guys for life</p>

You could eventually hire a new worker and give him a lawyer gimmick or use someone already on your roster and rebrand him. Could be a diva, a manager or an active worker. </p><p> </p><p> During the legal proceedings Cornell is feuding with another Main Eventer or Upper Midcarder that you want to push. This guy thinks Tommy is poisoning the atmosphere in the promotion and he wants to get rid of Cornell sooner than later. Of course he takes sides with your user. </p><p> </p><p> After a month or two the lawyer wants to mediate the situation, He tells your user that he is not prepared to give up his title shot but he is prepared to challenge for the title in a triple threat match with the third contestant being the choice of Flash. </p><p> </p><p> Flash choses someone who hates Cornell and who he can trust so he picks the guy that has been feuding with Cornell as is written above, </p><p> </p><p> Cornell faces two guys who hate him in a triple threat No DQ match but at the end of the match the third guy lays out Flash with a chair and lets Cornell pin him. The ultimate betrayal is there. The third guy whoever you pick, turns heel and forms a stable with Cornell and maybe you can add the guy with the lawyer gimmick to it as well. </p><p> </p><p> You can have Cornell lose the title quickly if you want and let the other guy in the stable get it back and push him for a while. </p><p> </p><p> Just my idea.</p>

I think he'd slot in very nicely in the William Regal-like slot of a 205 show.</p>

Nice idea, think i'll take most of that and use it. </p><p> </p><p>

Originally, Chord looked to be the leader of the TCW invasion, Tommy was signed by Flash with it looking like Tommy wanted to stop the TCW guys from using his name and TCW's name when trying to take over CZCW.</p><p> </p><p>

Tommy turned on CZCW, joined TCW and announced he was the true leader.</p><p> </p><p>

Tommy lost a loser leaves CZCW match. But he was still under the contract he signed originally. Flash brought him back by force, and was using him as a lacky to teach him a lesson. </p><p> </p><p>

There no face/heel divide but Flash has been a heel before the invasion but was booked more like a face during the invasion but is now booked to his old heelish ways. Tommy will be looked at as the face in this situation, at least by the end he will be.</p><p> </p><p>

In your idea, I may have Cali Love Machine as the third man. Cali and Flash have a love/ hate relationship. Cali hated Flash for trying to keep him down the first couple years but was his ally in the invasion. Flash thinks he can use that to keep cali on side and help him against Tommy with the promise of a future title shot. </p><p> </p><p>

Title from Flash to Tommy to Flash to Cali then onwards to other guys. Mainstream/ Jacob Jett</p>

<p>Don't know if this is the thread for general mechanics questions, but here goes:</p><p> </p><p>

So I'm playing a game where I'm a large, pop-focused fed with a developmental territory. Right now my main roster is very top-heavy to the point where I can't optimally book more than one high-card singles feud (which is to say, ensure that the principals lose as little as possible) at a time. There are a lot of big names at the top and a lot of guys at the very bottom, with a small handful of midcarders who will be doing most of the jobbing to the big names.</p><p> </p><p>

Restrictions on this collaborative game prevent us from hiring on new workers who would fill out the midcard (even so, there aren't many available - with just one national fed on the continent, the only guys who are over enough to break into the midcard already work for us). So we have to build our midcard essentially from scratch. </p><p> </p><p>

I know a bit about how the game worked with regard to pushes in TEW13, but it may have changed, so I thought I'd ask. Pushes and overness are my concerns. Pushing a guy straight out of developmental seems to be a non-starter - having him go over more established stars obviously hurts them more than it benefits the rookie. </p><p> </p><p>

So - is it true that a worker pushed as an opener or enhancement talent will rise in overness up to a certain threshold even if booked to lose? I thought it might be the case but I could be confusing it with the hidden "jobber meter" the 2013 tracked for everyone above "opener". Is it true that being in a poorly rated segment hurts UM and main event workers far more than it does midcard and below?</p><p> </p><p>

Basically, is it even possible to build up a no-name worker in a pop-focused fed without using the old trick of having them unrated appearances alongside main event talent in angles? Can I create a foothold for a team of raw recruit openers by jobbing them to midcarders until people know who they are? Or is winning the only way to make it work for them?</p>

<p>I would create a B show. </p><p> </p><p>

Have the guys you want to get from opener to Midcard lose to the main eventers in open matches then have the open win on the B show. maybe hire in some guys soley to job so your not tanking every lower guys momentum. use the hire local for 1 show or bring up developmental guys for 1 show to job to the lower card guys to get there momentum up full then have them beat the proper lower card guys and perhaps an upper guy on his way out. some guys will creep up to midcard by being in good matches that they lose to the main eventers but being an open match. some guys need a few wins on the way up.</p><p> </p><p>

Talent trading is your friend big style try and get a relationship with as many companies as you can, bigger, similar level or the next level below you, hire a couple of there guys to job to your guys. Some loanee main eventer may refuse to lose to your no name opener but say... getting their midcarder to job to your opener should be manageable and it gets your guy free momentum and a bit of a pop boost without using any of your own roster. </p><p> </p><p>

I done that exact thing as CZCW to TCW. Loaned out there guys to lose to my top guys to get there pop to the next level , boost my show ratings and help my company grow a bit quicker.</p>

Created a TEW promotion in th Great Lakes area and I'm planning on having a tournament but having trouble coming up with a name. I'm thinking Chicago so something maybe the Windy City Summit. Anyone have any suggestions?
