Bigpapa42 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Any advice even still on hirings/firings and what to look for in talent? MHero nailed it - the company is an open slate at this point. The history of the AWF fascinates me. You have a company that was opened by a rich fanboy and was basically a pretty direct rip off of the WWWE. It took a few years before the AWF started creating its own stars. My perception is that the AWF never really moved away from that WWWE formula until the last few years. I always ran with the thought that Casey Skym added some layers when he had the book. Now, under the new ownership.... you could go any direction. stay with the full WWWE style Sports Entertainment. Go more performance based. Get rid of the Starlets. Look to hire great in ring talents. Dive deeper into an Attitude Era type product. Personally, in my current AWF game, I'm sticking with the Sports Entertainment approach, keeping the Starlets, having things with a bit of an edge but not too much. I don't love coming into a company and drastically changing it, even if this situation would make that completely logical and fit the situation. My thought is that Chief would like what the AWF is but see potential for more. So I will gradually get rid of some of the vets, especially those with negative personalities. They will slowly be replaced with newer signings, to form a second generation of AWF talent, now that the first generation has made it to the top.

Markw Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I'm really interested in trying out GILL right now. No experience with or knowledge of Lucha Libre, so I don't know the first thing about how to go about booking it, they've just grabbed my interest. The EEP invasion looks like it'd be a lot of fun to book. Anybody tried a game with them before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build Your Own Stars Part 1 - You can't steal anyone from a company that's cult or bigger.</p><p> </p><p> 2. Build Your Own Stars Part 2 - Somebody currently on the FAW roster must have won the World Championship by the end of 2017.</p><p> </p><p> 3. The AWF Way - All new signings (excluding staff members, semi-active workers and AWF alumni returning to the company) must spend at least six months in FAW before being called up to the main roster.</p><p> </p><p> 4. Rebuild The Tag Team Division Part 1 - The Tag Team Championships must Main Event an AWF PPV in 2016.</p><p> </p><p> 5. Rebuild The Tag Team Division Part 2 - Call up at least three of the five male tag teams in FAW by the end of 2017 and give at least one a tag team title reign.</p><p> </p><p> 6. Live And Let Live - AWW and AMAZON are struggling for talent as it is, you can't hire anybody currently contracted to either promotion.</p><p> </p><p> 7. So What If It's Petty - Drake Richards and Vincent I. Parker turned their back on the AWF, they aren't welcome back.</p><p> </p><p> 8. SUX SUX Part 1 - The AWF needs to move away from the violent influence of companies like PWSUX. No former PWSUX wrestler can hold the AWF World Championship.</p><p> </p><p> 9. SUX SUX Part 2 - You can't hire anyone who has PWSUX in their employment history.</p><p> </p><p> That the sort of thing you're after? Can come up with some Club rules if so. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigilistic Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 <p>Fired up a new game, running a promotion in the style of Lucha Underground. </p><p> </p><p> So far it's going like gangbusters. Having bought my own network, my plan is to run 22-episode seasons with each episode being an hour long. In addition, I've got an hour-long "After Dark" B-show to give my lower card more screen time. </p><p> </p><p> I'll run a season a year, with the remaining time serving as downtime. Only my top talent with be contracted to long-term written deals, the lesser talent is all hired to season-long written deals instead.</p><p> </p><p> My stars this season are Wilson Hancock, VIP, Shay Kinsella, Jack America, Hell Cat, Manu Samoa, Evan Kuja, Ghost Rider and Alex Pierce (American Warrior).</p><p> </p><p> Rudy Single is cast as Darius, my Dario Cueto analogue, while Casey Skym is a prominent non-wrestler basically hired by Darius to scour the world for top talent to bring into the company.</p><p> </p><p> I have to say it's been a hell of a lot of fun to book the show in the same format at Lucha Underground, with over-the-top and slickly produced angles and then solid wrestling.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
