I am sorry Rocky has been a pain in the a.s for you guys.

I am really satisfied with his performances. He never fails a match or promo in my save.

This is my last PPV. I turned heel Sammy and I really like how he's doing. At the moment I have Andrews with 84 pop, Wolf 86, Taylor 84, RDJ 86, Golden 92.

 

Bach is "only" 80 at the moment but I hope I can give him a title run before the end of the year. He really deserve it.

It's a shame RDJ is 46. He's a natural talker but he can't go for over 13/15 minutes in the ring.

[MrSelfDestruct]

Rocky has been golden for me, bdump tiss.. lol

 

I have Rocky at 95, Marat at 95, Wolf at 93(I think he is capped at 88 so he keeps droppping but he and Marat have excellent tag chem) , Sammy at 90, A Double is at like 93-100 depending on the region, Taylor is at 89, Jay Chord just reached 76, Human Arsenal is at 74. That Is my main event scene.

 

RDJ and Dazzling Dave are tag champs, feuding with The Elite (who are at 61-65 overness), with the tag division going well, a new team of Sayeed Ali and Tombstone (excellent chemistry) is rising very quickly and Ali got an 84 his last match, on the lookout for more teams, trying to find one for Marc Speed.

 

In term of midcard, Edd Stone is X-Division Champion and is at 66-70 overness and is feuding with Matt Hocking currently. Jefferson Stardust is International champion and is about the same overness as Edd, he is feuding with Avalanche Takano, both have NBT potential.

 

Overall having a great game. Current roster, Andrews is on a 2-week vacation as I'm having him travel the world to get better.

I decided to play with alliances a bit and got NOTBPW and PGHW to join with the idea that talent trades would help me expand.

 

The storyline centers around Marc Speed and the International title, where he decides to defend it around the world because no one in TCW is good enough to ever beat him. The TCW board doesn't sanction those defenses, so when Speed finally loses the midcard alliance title I created a new title lineage is born. It's a second-tier type storyline but he's getting over and hopefully that makes up for me never pushing Speed in CZCW.

 

So far PGHW has had Speed defend the title about every other week, but NOTBPW hasn't touched it yet.

My plan is to replace Rocky with Wolf as my figurehead down the road. Maye January 2017. Andrews is good but Wolf's better. Sammy's in decline for me so he's out. I told ya guys before though, Rocky has been a slaughterer of the maine vent scene for me. Nothing but killer grades.

[bshankly]

<p>Ive found TCW easy to book. With Marat its nearly a guarantee that you win the National Battles. </p><p> </p><p>

I've just signed Champagne Lover who is 84 pop in usa and 100 in mexico. 8 year deal at 125k a month. Sadly Rocky Golden has a match wage stip in his contract, so he's getting a wage bump too. So thats an extra 250k a month I'll be paying. Lucky I've 1 million a month profits.</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

I'm just glad that the Rocky Golden hate has finally gone away after years and years of me wondering why people would hate on a man with 100 star quality

[Bigjondalegend]

I used to hate Rocky but now I am a believer in the Golden one. But I refuse to make him the champion until the summer time. I've decided that my core four are Rocky, Wolf, Ace and Taylor. With Chord, Mighty Mo, Killer Shark and Gauge being the one's to push behind them.. .. My thinking is to use RDJ, Joel Bryant, and Bryan Vessey as my gate keeper while building the future.. Hoping to have a long save n see how it goes...

[QFresh]

Small update on my Rocky Golden troubles... He's super angry now... Has about 40 days left on his contract... Absolutely no way he's resigning, and to be honest, don't want him.

 

But I've found his replacement... Not as a figurehead per say, but as somebody who can fit right into that spot... And that mans name?

 

Valiant.

 

Nice.

Let him first dominate the midcard and undercard with some workers who have some good psychology. Then give him some losses against Mainers or Upper Carders, so that he has to look out for a tag team partner and then give him a run as a tag team. With a good partner (In-Ring-Skills; Bryant or one of the machines etc.) he will learn more over the time.</p>

[MrSelfDestruct]

X-Division is going well, the feud between Matt Hocking and Edd Stone is going amazing. Edd Stone is pulling 90 rated angles. The American Cobras are doing very well and are likely to feud with the new tag team of Shimpei Hirose & Darryl Devine (Commander got signed exclusively by EXODUS), and I'm thinking I may make and X-divison tag team title. May wait until I pull up a few luchadors and Kamikaze from develoment.

[Bigjondalegend]

<p>Took a big blow to a story line where RDJ would be the next opponent for the TCW title. During a fatal four way for the #1 contender it was RDj vs Wolf vs Bach vs Taylor with RDJ winning .... well RDj suffered a broken neck and is now out for 1yr 2 months and 2 weeks.. SO there goes that idea. Hopefully making a triple threat with Wolf, Taylor and Andrews can save the next ppv. 3 weeks to build to it. </p><p> </p><p>

Thanks for the ideas on the new guy i signed .. He definitely is going to be getting paid too much to be put in developmental. Since he is a former football star im thinking maybe a MVP type of gimmick. Actually might go look back at MVP's first storyline on Smackdown and copy that</p>

[Generic Heel 104]

Does anyone have any advice on getting good popularity increases for new workers in TCW? I've brought in Gino Montero, Davis Wayne Newton, Roger Cage, Frankie Perez and Kirk Jameson in all at the same time, and I'd like to get them up to at least viable midcarder popularity ASAP.

I'd also avoid trying to push all 5 of them - I'd suggest doing something like having DWN and an established heel with Cage as a mouthpiece feuding against one of the other guys and a higher popularity face you're not that bothered about, with the heels dominating the feud - that should at least raise Cage and DWN a bit. Then you could pair up one of the others with an upper midcarder and have them go after DWN and new partner.</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

<p>They need to win matches on PPV above all else. PPV gains are 4 times that of normal TV so winning good matches, and being in good promos matter a lot more on PPV if you want popularity bumps. </p><p> </p><p>

You can build a stable with a top guy and have them in the room when the main eventer is cutting promos, and if you do this on TV every week as well as the PPV in addition to them winning matches, they should gain overness like crazy.</p><p> </p><p>

Just make sure to autopush them higher (midcard or even UMC) to avoid the overuse penalty.</p>

Thought I'd give the C-Verse a try, and TCW was my promotion of choice. I've had one question since starting with them though: why such an aged/aging roster? There are only about five workers under thirty.

[Rateddc]

Coming off of Just Another Day which managed a B+ which is my highest pay per view rating so far.

 

The biggest news is Sammy Bach is the new TCW World Heavyweight Champion! I was split on whether to give him the strap or keep it on Andrews but Sammy has been pulling in great ratings and is shooting up in popularity, nearing the 90's at this point, so it just felt like the right time. Andrews is obviously going in for his rematch at Where Angels Fear to Tread which will be the rubber match as they're tied 1-1 right now.

 

The semi-main saw Golden go over Marat Khoklov by count out so that feud will continue. Rocky's been a pain so far though, originally this was meant to be a draw but he wasn't happy with that even if he was protected, not to mention he's not really pulling in the ratings. Still he's the figurehead and he's doing the business in that regards so I've got to keep him happy until I get a better footing in the National Battle which I'm only just winning of SWF (USPW fell to cult pretty quickly).

 

Joshua Taylor & Mighty Mo have been gunning for The New Syndicate (Wolf, Jay Chord & Greg Guage) since they formed in January but haven't had much luck so far. They're latest setback was when Brent Hill joined the group helping Wolf & Chord win a tag match at the PPV to continue the feud. Meanwhile RDJ beat "The Star" Ross Henry by DQ when Henry purposefully attacked RDJ with a chair. I expect I'll give RDJ the win in the rematch since Henry doesn't have the pop to go over yet and then transition Henry into a few upper midcard feuds he can win.

 

The undercard saw The Extreme Alliance (Peak & Tornado) go over High Concept in a tables match while The Behemoths retained the tag titles against The New Wave. By tag division is in pretty good shape right now with those four teams leading the way as well as Future Shock (Chord & Gauge), Devine Fortune, The American Cobras and Too Cool (Fonzarelli & Tana as a dancing comedy duo with Haley Buck as their manager) propping it up with some decent ratings.

 

The rest of the card has Human Arsenal win the International title from Marc Speed, who just hasn't been pulling in the ratings I'd want to keep the belt on him, and Edd Stone defeat Freddy Huggins. That feud's developing into a big personal blood feud as Laura Huggins chose her new boyfriend Edd over her brother. Vita's stuck with Freddy in the scorned woman role so they'll likely be going at it for a while yet. A lot of cool things happening but I really need to start developing some of my undercard guys in the next few months and especially after Total Mayhem.

Perhaps you should consider a second A-Show with a better Network.
