My fed is Heavy Traditional, medium (mainstream, realism, modern) which makes sponsorship favorable, and performance>pop. I started turning a profit in May. Got out of the red by August. Only thing I changed to CVerse is I made importance 100% in most regions in world. Just to make things more sensical to me. I got Michael Bull as owner, and he worked for free for first year. My UC had good chemistry facing Logan Wolfsbaine, and found he has great chemistry teaming with Cobra.

 

My roster is usual cheap suspects. Gidayu signed to tour with PGWH and his pop in Japan went up to 35. MHW opened up, but I didn't get hired. The owner(active wrestler) had 61 pop in mexico and they had 100k in bank, would've been nice to get hired there. I would've teamed with owner to build my popularity and skill. Lucas Danger was high wrestling Logan, so I fired him immediately. Logan was released than rehired by PSW within 6-7 months. Christopher Ball accepted MMA Fight at end of year, hopefully he wins. PSW signed Garry the Entertainer, and Seth Whitehead signed with FCW.

 

USPW is taking over US. Signed Roger Cage, Nelson Callum, Hells Bouncer, Kirk Jameson, Greg Black, Remmy Skye, Hells Bouncer, Skull DeBones, Eddie Peak, Troy Tornado, Wolf Hawkins, Sara Maria York, Joanne Rodriguez, Nadia Snow, Aaron Andrews, and Sean McFly.

 

TCW turned Rocky heel, Jay Chord face, and Greg Gauge is climbing the ranks. Primus Allen joined them as well They are still national at #3 with 75 pop, but If Rocky gets taken from them they'll be desperate for star power. Valiant was picked up from SWF and is their world champion. He and Joshua Taylor are lighting world on fire facing eachother.

 

SWF biggest departure is Remo going to SOTBW. Valiant and Skull DeBones leaving as well are surprises.

 

Yoshimi Mushashibo won wrestler of the year. 95 average rating. PGWH won company of the year. The Tsunami didn't really take much effect this save.

 

I am located in Great Lakes, so I may move up to small by end of the year. Reputation goes up 0.1 a show, so it may take awhile to find a new place to book for. Running 1 show a month, I am making 1k-2k a month profit, and economy/world is rising so I get like 0.5 pop per show. When I am making 2k-4k profit I'll start running two shows.

 

I rolled 36, which was boost 20 to face/heel skills. I started 50/50 at start now 65/80 with running heel all year.

 

Goals for 2017:

Rise to Small

Build performance skills teaming w/ Cobra

Get stamina higher so I can work long single matches.

 

One of my complaints of TEW 2016 is when buying companies size shouldn't matter to a degree. I understand it may prevent cheating or sorts. I am ranked 36 in financial dependence, which means 5 companies have less than 10k.

So I am halfway through June 2017. Big changes occurred fast!

 

Throughout the year I have been getting emails complaining about momentum from faces on my roster. I have been using them to face Cobra & UC to build that chem, and get decent ratings. Garry The Entertainer sustained a concussion from Cobra during one of the matches. Christopher Ball won his mma fight! Gidayu and Logan completed their tours with PGHW, and they're pretty popular in Japan about 50 each. Logan complimented Katoh Freak saying he has lot of upside.

 

I reached small on Thursday, Week 1, June of 2017. In May of 2017 I got email saying WEXXV needs new owner, knowing they're regional I ran an extra show at end of May to try to get to small quickly. Friday, Week 1, June 17 I got an email saying WEXXV has booking position available. I applied and GOT THE JOB. I went from local company turning 2k profit a month, to small, to regional company in Japan over 10 days. Pretty crazy. WEXXV runs hardcore style company, which I am not much of a fan, but now I am at least regional.

 

I haven't played in Japan that much either, but economy and wrestling is rising so I hope to gain POP fast. First singee Logan Wolfsbaine and then Gidayu Katou. American Elemental II is in my original company and I may try to get him down the road. Very excited

Haha thanks man! It takes just way too long to get to regional, and than the jump from Regional to Cult takes awhile. I just want to get to Cult asap. I normally a US only player so its a totally new experience for me in Japan. That plus its hardcore orientated has me nervous. Probably find a tag partner with chemistry while I'm here, and avoid the deathmatches.

WEXXV has been interesting to say the least. I bought BCG and brought in a handful of their workers. Most of the guys I brought over were signed away by BHOTWG. I had great chemistry tagging with Bulldozer Brandon Smith and we were teaming together til he got signed by TCW in December. I didn't push myself as hard as I should've, but my performance skills are getting a lot better. After buying BCG my pop in Kinki went up to 53, and has been steady there since. Tohoku my home region (one of regions I didn't change importance to 100% to) Went from 38, down to 20. I have been losing regional battles to 5 Star. Theyre putting up 80 ratings, and I am in 50s. But we are in alliance together where regional battles shouldn't hurt. I run one show a month since my product is so hardcore.

 

I am debating to either slowly change product into something I think can grow (modern, realism, traditional), try to find any company that isn't hardcore (Too many in C-verse IMO) and go there, or just double down on hardcore aspect. I don't know if I have talent accessible to grow. I have been stagnant in pop since buying BCG. I made Daredevil from heavy to medium, and added realism to medium. Next is either lower hardcore, or add traditional.

 

I got to pick a mentor and made it Takayuki 2000. Might make him figurehead of company. My starter company is going out of business, and I am not shocked they tripled roster after I left and haven't gained any pop.

 

As regards to Cverse-TCW is going to drop to Cult relatively soon. 3 companies are cult and 8 are National. 2 national in Japan and 2 cult, which makes talent hard to keep.

End of Year 3

UC's Performance Skills are looking fantastic, Top Row's still climbing slowly, Charisma's skyrocketed - it's been a good year, though there's a concern that his Babyface performance has capped at 83, continues to drop back to it from 84. Biggest thing is that his popularity has also just erupted, currently 81 in the Great Lakes. Covers any match that his lack of skills would hurt and is just 80/90's in most angles.

 

 

 

CLASH Championship Wrestling

 

- Based In: Great Lakes, USA

- Size: Small

- Owned By: Michael Bull

- Style: Old School Wrestling (Pop = Performance)

- Ranking: 26/40

- Money: $49,462 - 36/40 in the World

- Awards: N/A

 

 

 

Owner Goals

 

Critical: CLASH must not fall below Small at any point (Expires: Jan 2020)

Critical: CLASH must not fall below Small when the time expires (Expires: Jan 2020)

Average: Can't hire or extend anyone with less than 35 Selling(Expires: June 2019)

Average: Can't hire any Cruiserweights (Expires: May 2019)

Average: Can't hire any Luchadors (Expires: July 2020)

 

 

Nothing terrible. The double "don't fall below Small" Critical goals is easy enough.

 

 

 

 

Notes:

  • Both Wrestling Industry and Economy still in freefall, both mid 20's
     
     
  • Attendence for shows is at an all time hit, constantly hitting 700 - 1000 per show
     
     
  • Even with running Two shows per month, with Production Quality on par with my rivals we're making +$4,000 monthly at worst.
     
     
  • Forgot to mention last updated both PSW & NYCW declared war just after we grew to Small. Cutthroat business I tell you.
     
     
  • Ian DeColt is THE Guy for CLASH right now. Passable in the ring but incredible in entertainment angles and the most popular guy right now. 100's and mid 90's for any angle he's in so naturally he's the champion right now, building up any challenger to his level of pop.
     
     
  • Created the CLASH World Tag Titles, inaugual champions being Fyre & Liberty. Gives them something to do plus helps the mid/uppercard develop and get over. Other notable teams include Lug Phelan and former World Champ Steel as the Legion of Death (Great chemistry tag with Lug AND fighting Fyre has saved Steel for now, that and he's fantastic backstage) and Fearless Blue with Kid Fantastic and the Thrill Seekers, your generic bumping face team.
     
     
  • We've picked up our biggest signing yet and the key to our Regional expansion - Spencer Spade.

 

 

 

 

 

End of Year Roll

 

 

2017: #49 "Where There’s A Will" One of your die hard fans has passed on bequeathing their worldly possessions to your promotion. Do you accept it or donate it to charity? Gain EITHER $56,609 or +5 Prestige.

 

 

2018: #33 “Makeover Time” You get yourself an image makeover. Your sex appeal, star quality and menace EACH randomly change by anything between -5 and +15. (roll once for each stat)

 

 

2019: #6. “Master And Disciple” You can become the protégé of anyone 10 years or more older than you are (they must be on your roster) OR you can become the mentor of anyone 10 years or more younger than you (they must be on your roster). Randomly roll from anyone who is eligble.

 

 

Only 3 guys on the roster viable - Bulldozer Brandon Smith, Michael Bull and Steel. Thankfully the RNG gods were on my side, rolled a 1 and Bulldozer is now UC's mentor.

Episode 3 consists of us crowning the first ever SUMMIT North American Champion. Kyler Adams has been improving immensely as I have decided to run 9 shows a month. I know its not exactly realistic but it will give us the best chance at completing the challenge down the line.

 

If you enjoy the video make sure you drop a like on the video to show your support. Also don't forget to subscribe to the channel if you haven't already!

I started watching your series because you showed up in my recommended feed on youtube. Your series has made me want to retry this challenge which I've failed twice before.

 

I don't have a lot of hope for making it this time honestly just because of I'mnot good enough at companies smaller then cult to finish this challenge and TEW 2020 comes out pretty soon but I'm going to try.

 

I really want to finish this challenge but I always fail at it. It's the grind that kills me. I'll get a year or two in and then I realize just how long it takes to complete this challenge.

<p>Start Of Year 1:</p><p>

The biggest moment to happen during this run has been that I had to fire Felipe Caballero because he would not stop preaching about his religion in the locker room. He did it three times in a month and I fired him because he was tanking my backstage rating. It kind of sucks because he's a good wrestler and he was a decent performer but he was an absolute backstage cancer in this save.</p><p> </p><p>

The other thing you might have noticed is that my user character changed names. That's because I named him Eddy Strong without realizing that Sam Strong was one of the most famous wrestlers in the CVerse. I changed it to avoid any confusion.</p><p> </p><p>

For the end of year roll, I rolled a 41 so I go up to Middleweight. That doesn't do a whole lot for me, either way, other then I think it ups my star quality but my SQ was already pretty high so it's not going to make a huge difference.</p>

I got four years in and made it to the Cult but I think have to restart. I started my company in the midwest which was a mistake because there is no TV here and going to National with no tv doesn't seem like fun

 

Regional to Cult was a grind. Cult to National seems like a nightmare.

 

 

I think I'm going to restart in the Tverse because I know that it's much easier to get TV in an RTG in the Tverse then the CVerse.

Just try switching promotions. Since you can pick Cult & National now, you shouldn't need to reset to continue^^

Thinking of giving this a go, but quick question. Does anyone have a suggestion for a real world mod that would work well with this challenge? I tried doing a small promotion before with a few real world mods and its just not possible because you can't hire anyone cheap enough to not just go into debt instantly. Any help is much appreciated!

I have to be the unluckiest RTG player ever. I had a freak wind storm in my state earlier today that knocked out my power for nine hours and apparently corrupted both of my saves when it happened. So I now have to restart anyways.

 

 

This has to be the worst failure in TEW history. My saved got destroyed by wind. That's just unbelievable.

Did you try the recovery option. Thats not its actual name but I can't remember it off the top of my head. It would move you back a week but better than having to start over.

I personally use the 2001 Death of WCW mod. There are enough cheap people to hire early on (200 PPA and lower) and there are alot of rookies coming through each month

I took a week off and now I'm back at it. This run had a very interesting start because Michelle Brendon came in as an owner.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm not gonna lie, She's pretty terrible stats-wise but she is a locker room leader so I guess I'll take what I get.</p><p> </p><p>

I wish I had gotten an active wrestler instead or someone with better psychology to act as a road agent but I guess she'll do for now.</p>
