Grfcboy95 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 <p>I finally came back to my first love SWF. I enjoyed booking USPW (and still will actually) but i had to start an SWF save. More challenging this time around money and talent wise. Ageing main event, Bruce, The Crippler (finally!!!) and Garcia are in decline, Brandon James still can't actually get great match ratings without positive chemistry so not much has changed there. I decided to keep all of the first storylines running for a while. I decided to play with owner goals on and got 2 annoying ones to push Squeeky McClean and Joe Sexy to 77 overness US wide in the next 18 months. Both are past 40 so needless to say i wasnt too impressed with those goals at all. Not really sure what to do with that situation, maybe a tag team? </p><p> </p><p> The other 2 storylines i added were Mikey Lau Vs The Pain Alliance, to get Lau over, (he's my likely next figurehead, because i may skip over Valiant for that job) and Scott is in decline so he can give some of his pop to Lau.</p><p> </p><p> The other storyline is actually becoming a focal point for the promotion going forward. Eric Eisen attacked Jimmy Hernandez on the first show of the year, causing him to lose his match with Joe Sexy. He then taunted him from the ring as he was being helped to the back, telling him he should never be put in the same ring as himself. This continued into the next week with a backstage attack on Hernandez by Khoklov, who debuted with Shane Sneer and the Stable SnEisen Corporation was born. Their goal is to wipe out the so called next generation, laying out Marshall Dillon in the same show. Eisen and Hernandez had a match at the first PPV, it scored 81 which was surprisingly good because i gave it only 14 mins and put it on third. Eisen won thanks to his cronies Sneer and Khoklov, but as they were beating down Hernandez, Skull DeBones cleared the ring. The plan is for DeBones, Dillion and Hernandez to form a loose alliance to beat the corporation, while building overness for both Hernandez and Dillon in matches with DeBones. At some point I plan on bringing in Hollywood Bret Star to become to one acceptable future star, according to Eisen, and run with some 3v3 matches, ultimately building up all the young guys a bit. DeBones only wrestling on PPV isn't too much of a problem because he can feature in angles on TV, so his presence is felt anyway.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Kohral Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 What are your average show ratings starting out? I'm struggling puling above 80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lr10540 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 <p>So I've been gone over a month (feels like it at least) playing a lot of 2k and Pokemon Go and had to revert my laptop back to factory because it became bogged down. So lost my old SWF that I started a dynasty on. Kinda frustrating!</p><p> </p><p> Anyways! With the draft at WWE just happening, I've decided to start a game on that premise. I've made Champagne Lover my user character so I don't have to deal with the frustration of USPW or SOTBPW ending my game or making it stressful. I've got Shane Sneer and Phil Vibert as GMs. Also I've signed a lot of talent so that each roster can have 35 to 40 workers. One brand will have the Tag/SWF belts and the other will have the midcard/junior heavyweight belts. </p><p> </p><p> I've called up a lot of RIPW talents. Primus, Lassana, Spade, Scythe amongst others. The depth isn't there immediately but there's so many great prospects for the brands to build into stars. It'll help keep the big shows special as well.</p><p> </p><p> Has anyone else gone the brand split route with SWF? If so, how did you distinguish the brands and what did you as far as titles go?</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tywood2022 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 <p>I try to build toward a brand split over the first two in-game years. IMO SWF does not start with enough top tier talent to carry two separate brands, but that's just me. I can usually get my A-shows to 90+ ratings after a few months, so I wait until I know I can consistently hit these ratings with half my roster. </p><p> </p><p> Anyways, I always have the Supreme brand on Supreme TV and the Elite brand on Elite TV. Anyone can appear on Uprising, so unless they are not contracted for B-shows, any worker can still face any other worker. Supreme brand had the SWF WHC and the Television title, a midcard belt frequently defended on TV. Elite brand had the SWF Supreme title as its main title and the NA title as its upper midcard belt. Tag titles, Vixxen title, and Uprising title can move between shows. I booked them mostly the same, but tried to keep Elite TV focused more on the wrestling with Supreme TV more entertainment focused.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millsybeast Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 <p>I just started a Brand Split recently, and it's going pretty well. Although I brought in alot of big people I guess. Remo left to SOTBPW after a massive 3 way fight between us, so he lost the title to Rocky Golden before he could leave.</p><p> </p><p> I also have Supreme & Elite brands, and I might try get a B Show too sometime down the line, since the roster is massive.</p><p> </p><p> Main Eventers as of now are:</p><p> </p><p> Supreme:</p><p> Bryan Vessey, Des Davids, Edward Cornell, Hollywood Bret Starr, The Crippler, Trent Shaffer & Valiant.</p><p> </p><p> Elite:</p><p> Aaron Andrews, Eric Eisen, Jack Bruce, Joss Thompson, Rocky Golden & Rogue.</p><p> </p><p> Supreme have the likes of Marc DuBois, Paul Huntingdon, Greg Gauge, Primus Allen & Ricky Storm in the midcard, while Elite have The Awesomeness, The Bumfholes, The Sword, Edd Stone & Steven Parker among others.</p><p> </p><p> The Sword are my Shield ripoff, featuring Bulldozer Smith, Spencer Spade & William Hayes. I might bring Emma Chase back as a manager to manage them sometime down the line, as the first two are definitely going to be big deals in the future.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setalight Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Do you guys use any the PPVs as gimmick ones? (i.e. like royal rumble) I'm planning my first year and just interested if there are any gimmicks that SWF use or if any of you have turned any ppvs into specific gimmick ones.

Lionhart Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 <p>I'm a player since TEW 2005 (way more regular since TEW 2013), but I just launched my first game with SWF ever !</p><p> </p><p> I'm still in the first month and my first A-Show didn't do well (79 - popularity loss), but my second show gave me back some confidence (84 - no popularity loss and some gain).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> In term of roster, Jack Bruce is not on time decline and still has 3 years in his contract, so I guess, he'll stay as my Figurehead for a long time.</p><p> </p><p> Most of my younger up-carders/ME still got some times on their contract, with the notable exception of Remo. </p><p> Guess I'll have to fight with USPW around him in a short time.</p><p> </p><p> I also brought in some other workers :</p><p> - Marat Khoklov is going back home. A feud with the aging Skull DeBones is my trick card, and Khoklov in menace angles may be the ultimate weapon at the beginning of a new game.</p><p> - I brought in Donnie J (alongside his manager/girlfriend Britney Hollywood), former partner of James Prudence. While they'll definitely feud in the not-so-distant future, I'm thinking of reforming the team since Antonio Garcia, Prudence's partner is deeply in declining phase.</p><p> - Talking about former partners, I contracted Frankie Perez to reform his team with Mickey Lau/James known as 'The Cali Dragons'.</p><p> - I also brought in Greg Gauge/Keith (renamed Gregory Keith) and Ricky DeColt to form a second generation tag team managed by Lisa Bowen. But bigger things surely await them.</p><p> </p><p> I also contracted some guys to RIPW in order to replace workers that I'll call to the main roster soon enough : Austin Smooth, Cobra, Joffy Lane, Quentin Queen, Seth Whitehead and Xavi Ferrera.</p><p> While they're all far from the finished article (and under 25 for most of them) those guys never let me down when I signed them in smaller companies, but with SWF's roster (TCW really look like dirt in TEW 2016), I still got time before me. </p><p> Unless all my top stars are poached by USPW in a close future, of course.</p><p> </p><p> I guess that's it for now.</p><p> I just moved every PPV to the 4th week (I hate to have only two TV shows before my first PPV), signed a TV contract in Mexico and launched Uprising as a B-Show.</p><p> </p><p> Let's see all that can do.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Gilmore Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I was thinking how people talk about the "WWE Mount Rushmore" a lot these days, so what would be the SWF Mount Rushmore? Sam Strong, Christian Faith, probably Jack Bruce. Not sure about fourth. I guess Micky Starr, but maybe Rip Chord too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobzUnite Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Mount Rushmore of the SWF? That's pretty darn hard to do, but I do have a list of the tope stars of the SWF. This list is in no special order it's just the top guys of the SWF's history in my opinion. Guys who were definitely stars in the company. 1. Micky Starr - This man is the single most important figure in the history of the SWF and the database doesn't reflect the true significance of Micky Starr. Without Micky Starr there would be no Same Strong. He starts off the list at number one and is truly that. He has the single longest reign in SWF history with a world title reign of 6yrs and 4 months. He is the man that put SWF on the map and gave them the star power to survive when the SWF was conceived. No Mount Rushmore of any kind can be built without his face. 2. Sam Strong 3. Rip Chord 4. Sam Keith 5. Christian Faith 6. Bruce The Giant 7. Runaway Train 8. Jack Bruce 9. Sean McFly 10. Vengeance Honorable Mentions Corporal Doom - First man to defeat Micky Starr for the world title ending a 6yr reign and going on a two year reign of his own. Also, he holds the honor of being one of the youngest if not the youngest SWF world champion in the companies history. Dread - Although only worked for the SWF for about 3yrs, Dread was a powerhouse and a SWF world champion crushing the 4yr reign of Sam Strong in 1984.
