Sigilistic Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 <p>Doesn't Drake start out making a movie though? Or is that just something that happened in my game that I didn't notice a news item about?</p><p> </p><p> Maybe VIP could give me a ratings bump? More upside than Richards, about the same price tag.</p><p> </p><p> Here's what I've got for storylines starting out:</p><p> </p><p> Cloud James vs Riley Johansen vs Michael Anicetti vs Herculez</p><p> Your bog standard four-way feud. Everybody's chasing James' title, but he'll hold on to it because I have plans for him at Glory Bowl.</p><p> </p><p> El Estandar vs Seven Brandt </p><p> Estandar's at the top of the Cruiserweight food chain, but some new talent has come in to offer a challenge. Iago de Brun's on the horizon but first up is Seven Brandt, who uses mind games to get inside Estandar's masked head and make him question his skill. Lots of Brandt speechifyin', and some quality workrate matches barring bad chemistry.</p><p> </p><p> Kris Phoenix vs Johnny Hollywood</p><p> Phoenix is in the company on a limited contract. He'll be dropping the AWC World Heavyweight title to Johnny Hollywood at the end of their brief feud, in order to set Hollywood up as our top heel and initiate a slow-burn feud with Cloud James that pays off in a title vs title match at Glory Bowl.</p><p> </p><p> The Furlong Brothers vs Too Famous</p><p> Not sure where I'm going to take this one yet. Too Famous basically run a reality show gimmick, with their antics intended to be as annoying as possible.</p><p> </p><p> Cordero Calderon vs Maxim Kozlov</p><p> Calderon became the first man in more than a decade to hold the AWC American Heavyweight title, and Kozlov will be his first opponent. Your standard American vs Ebul Furriner storyline.</p><p> </p><p> Shay Kinsella vs Mattias Taylor</p><p> Both men just debuted with the company, and Taylor crashed Kinsella's debut to call the veteran out. This is a low-key feud just intended to establish Kinsella as a top star and give Taylor some ring and screen time. </p><p> </p><p> I'm also running a series of videos hyping the debut of Jack America. I could have VIP be a surprise return and feud with good old Jack. Or maybe he could feud with Shay, playing up the Big League Star vs Indy Darling angle. Hmmm...</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigilistic Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 <p>Well, Jack America feuding with VIP is MONEY. Ratings are up and I am happy. Had to bring in some more women to appease the fans. Introduced a Nitro Girls-esque dance segment to provide a mid-show bathroom break. I feel a little dirty using extremely talented wrestlers for this, but I needed Sex Appeal.</p><p> </p><p> Ran into a tiny (TRANSLATION: A huge) problem. We're spending way too much on talent. We lost about a quarter of a million in January and most of that was talent. To rectify that, I cut a lot of PPA guys and signed some other PPAs to written deals, which saves me a little money and also prevents them from getting poached. Now, only Kris Phoenix is on a PPA agreement, since he's intended to just drop the belt to Hollywood, lose the rematch, then move on.</p><p> </p><p> We'll see how February shakes out. I might need to try and find a new source of revenue...</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chikbot Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 <p>I've been playing The Club with Casey Skym as my UC and we're doing fantastically oddly enough, I'd expect us to completely flop, but we're doing a show a month and I'm getting steady D rankings, which are what I usually get for a company of this size.</p><p> </p><p> I've signed Mickie Violent, Knuckles, Road Rage, The Nightmares and Tommy Clay so far in the past 3 months and they've all been great assets, with Clay in a team with Tyler Moon called Sky High.</p><p> </p><p> For the first two months, Sami Switchblade kept injuring himself with small injuries</p><p> </p><p> Also ECXW formed a hostile relationship with me. </p><p> WE'RE NEW COASTAL WARS NOW</p><p> </p><p> But overall, we're doing fantastically</p><p> Something weird I noticed though is how our popularity keeps going up, but we're losing people coming to the shows slowly</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigilistic Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 <p>Another month, another $300,000 loss. By far, talent is my biggest drain. But AWF dropping to Cult and becoming competition (meaning I have to up all my production values) means it's going to get even more expensive. And we aren't big enough to get a deal in Mexico or Canada.</p><p> </p><p> Would it be better to stay on our existing network (medium in the U.S.) or jump to the Danger Network (very small in the U.S. and Canada)? Would the extra viewership make up for the smaller size in terms of revenue?</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleazy Dojo Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 <p>Got a Q. </p><p> </p><p> Been having a great game with UPJ but my PPV buy rates seem incredibly low compared to what they were at the start. my last 5 PPVs have had buyrates of 0.12, but all the ones before that were 0.40 and above. I'm just wondering what could have caused this. Was it me finally deciding to update TEW 2016 to the current version? Am I not doing as good as I thought? Did rising to National do this?

Then at the first event VIP debuted by becoming a late entrant into the match between Johansen and Hurculez and won. Next week they debuted the stable and went after Cloud James because he wasn't "star material", VIP won the title, lots of potential for further storylines.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberious Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 <p><span>http://i.imgur.com/fRGGPyA.png</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Having fun in a DIASPORA game and pretty ecstatic with how my January PPV turned out; grade wise at least. Unfortunately it's not actually a PPV since I mistakenly didn't assign a broadcaster, and once you exit the broadcast screen you can't go back. Whoops.</p><p> </p><p> Sadly Zodiac turned 40 in February and entered the time decline list, but a 93 rated main event match is probably as good a way to begin the downswing of your career as any; though even in decline he should be a solid main event talent for another year or two.</p><p> </p><p> I've brought in a good amount of talent to both the main roster and developmental, but I wanted the main card of the PPV to be just the stars so only two made the main card. Kris Phoenix was brought in to be the 2nd in command for Christian Prophet's Crimson Denizen's faction, and Junichi Matsuo joined PULSE after forming a great-chemistry team with HUSTLE Umiro (named BreakOut) who have been having a friendly rivalry with New Solution; their stable-mates. New Solution and BreakOut are my two best Junior teams, aside from current champions Sairento & Zodiac, so their rivalry is unlikely to stay friendly in the long term; especially if one of the teams wins the titles.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
