I mean you already are going to have my stable in the draft diary. Granted my group will be less traditionalistic and more work hard/play hard, but everyone but Rosa Misteriosa has mat skills of 50+.

 

Fair but I think there is more to Catch Point & Ringkampf than just technical workers. I like to take the shape & spirit of it. Catch Point would just have to be a loose unit of guys who do everything to win but don't care about being exciting. So it'd be about making sure you have guys embodying that.

 

In my continuous TVerse explorations: what would be a good name for a pseudo-Shield in Alejandro Iglesias, Nathan Jordan & Sean Girven?

<p>I generally like to take over a start-up promotion rather than diving into an already established promotion. The one that interests me the most is WWB. I was curious if anyone else had taken on this promotion and how you handled it. I did notice that you have to do a show in mexico in late January to keep from having your pop drop because dec 1 to april 4 is too long. </p><p> </p><p>

I've been running with one roster, but split titles. So my US, TV, Southern Tag belts only defended in US, Mexican, Mexican Tag, Trios titles only defended in Mexico.</p>

Mostly everything has been kept the same aside from re-ordering the schedule and adding a ton of titles. The schedule is the same and I haven't rushed to overload signings like I tend to do.</p><p> </p><p> But at the rate of injures I'll have to anyways. Not sure if Juro Deguchi is on time decline but at least for now he isn't top five. I moved Hall of Immortals to the start of the year so it pretty much started my file. Results weren't as outstanding as I hoped but I probably overestimate how they would do.</p><p> </p><p> Also I started playing with all the rules on. I don't usually do but I feel like it lets me book things without getting super mechanical/robotic about it which I usually have a tendency to do. Keeping things to grades, using fog of war and all that stuff does prevent me from too many signings and from just pushing guys who have the numbers for it. Also lets me focus a bit more on stories.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Hall of Immortals</strong></p><p> <strong>UPJ International Heavyweight: </strong>Kintaro Kinjo beats Erick Van Rjin - B: This was a 45 minute match I hoped would do amazing. Didn't do that great and Kinjo got annoyed by Rjin nearly botching and injuring him. Rjin got some time to do. </p><p> <strong>UPJ Japan Heavyweight: </strong>Oda Yamawaki beats Juro Deguchi - B: About 30 minutes. Oda finally gets to cement himself as a main event. Slight regrets. I want to get Deguchi a real last hurrah in the main event to get him to the Hall of Immortal (he is at 60%). </p><p> <strong>Blue Rhino Openweight: </strong>Waotaka Eda beats Takehide Harada - C+: Takehide Harada is 11 years on time decline. Sucks for him. He's only 15% to Immortal and won't make it. He took on Daijiro Otsuka as a prodigy so expect them to team. Harada will slowly get demoted to the Six-Man and veteran-centric shows.</p><p> <strong>UPJ Junior Heavyweight: </strong>Furosuto draws with Kozue - B: Originally booked for Furosuto to beat Kozue but must've forgotten to put it in so it ended up as referee stoppage and I'm not mad. I think I'll have Kozue take the title back.</p><p> <strong>UPJ International Tag Team: </strong>Goto & Kato beats Pain & Torture, Strength Ogawa & Honour Katsumoto - B-: Pain & Strength are both in time decline sadly. Kato is a star. I know the story teases you to giving him that singles run but I don't think so. I prefer the idea of making him elevate the Tag Team title into main event status. </p><p> <strong>Blue Rhino Openweight Six-Man:</strong> Aydan Farrell, Bruiser Cassidy & Des Miller beats Avalanche Miyagi , Captain UPJ & Dustin LeFever - C: Dustin LeFever was replacing injured Koji Yamada. Captain UPJ got injured. Renegades win it over the Hall of the United Throne + Dustin team. I want Dustin to win a singles title one day.</p><p> <strong>UPJ Junior Heavyweight Tag Team: </strong>Shingo Hashi & Jin Fujiwara beats Akito Nakada & Haruko Yamada - C: If only Jin Fujiwara could fly this would've done better. In any case Shingo & Jin are probably gonna face Akito & Haruko a ton. </p><p> <strong>CWT World Heavyweight: </strong>Jesse Mills beats Big Bubba - D-: Except you can't borrow titles so this was just a regular singles match lol. </p><p> <strong>Special Singles Challenge:</strong> Ram Diablo beats TOKI Ink - B-: Surprise really good match. TOKI is young lion so Ram gets the win by default. Think I made this a wild brawl but don't 100% remember. </p><p> <strong>Special Singles Challenge:</strong> Tiger Singh beats Thunder Iesada - C+: Iesada going down time decline hill. Tiger was good.</p><p> <strong>Battle Royal: </strong>Takanori Sakurai wins feat. TEMPEST Masato, Seiken Nagano and The Anomaly - C-: Seiken and TEMPEST were really mad. Would've let TEMPEST win if he wasn't a negative influence. Signed The Anomaly because of MHero. I actually wanted to bring in Graham Mackenzie to win it but forgot to grab him. Oh well.</p>

Don't you love when this happens ;( </p><p> </p><p>

I should've put my Survival of the Fittest Six-Way Match in the Main Event. I'm stupid. </p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="1bbbbdb9f4f6e3403fa7ee5a4317ab14.png" data-src="https://i.gyazo.com/1bbbbdb9f4f6e3403fa7ee5a4317ab14.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

The first PPV I did with them. Getting over the B hump for grades is hard. Sebastien Curtis was the best wrestler of the night too -_- I was afraid he'd be in too steep of a time decline so I was cautious. Turns out he was great and now I need to use him at Night of Glory. </p><p> </p><p>

Wonder if I can arrange a Once in a Lifetime match with Sebastien Curtis.</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: Tyler Mercury just got caught for roids. He is suspended and officially stripped of the PWI International title. Great stuff! Mike botched and hurt Marco so that he'd miss Night of Glory but surgery will bring him back just in time. He's probably one of my top four guys so I'm glad. I might need him for that PWI International title match.</p>

[Skywalker1976]

<p>It is so funny, PWI in real life would be by far my favorite company. Great characters and superior wrestling, but not Indy. Kind of like a Western NJPW. But in TEW it just does not click for me, I habe tried several times but never enjoyed playing then. </p><p> </p><p>

Energized through your post I will give them one last try...</p>

From NJPW I've grabbed the 16-man cup, and obviously the G1 Climax/Tag League.

After approaching Jerry King, my on-air authority figure, for a 3rd match King refused stating that he needed to earn the shot. Hollywood boasted that he is the greatest Hollywood champion in history. King then told him to prove it by beating every former Hollywood champion still on the roster.

(Booking wise, I have Hollywood winning the title off James in about half a year. He needs to beat 5 or 6 guys who have held the title to get his shot at James. Should create some fresh matchups.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Herculez and Calderon brutal war</strong></p><p>

Herculez and Calderon were part of the Fatal 4-way elimination match to crown the #1 contender for the Hollywood Title. After Herculez pinned El Estandar (not sure on spelling because away from computer), Calderon rolled up Herculez for the 1,2,3.

It was 4 months ago that Anicetti took a chair to the arm of Riley, and taking the HCG Hollywood Title. Now Riley is back after having surgery on his arm. Anicetti no longer has the title, but for Riley, it's more than just titles. It's revenge.</p><p> </p><p>

How deep into time decline are Buff, Tuff and Drake Richards lol? I mean they can still pass on knowledge and still have solid enough popularity I suppose. Though they might have bad personalities iirc. Vincent I. Parker and Wilson Hancock are also good alternatives to Buff/Tuff without the tag team experience.

 

HCG is a cool company to try as well as CWT. I actually like Caleb Adonis and usually bring him in to AWF to pair him up with Adrienne. It helps that he's a decent performer, on the verge of becoming a solid angle hand, and has the SQ. Definitely a future champion for an HCG or AWF type company.

 

HCG Glamour Bowl is the big event of the year. A good tip to check is either look at the most important events or click each event to see if they're the Season Finale.

 

EDIT: What's the NWO end goal?

But honestly, the WWF/E in a lot of time periods had a monstrous roster, and WCW as well through most of its history. So its nothing too abnormal lol</p><p> </p><p> Right now, Hawk is just carrying on with the Hawk'ing. Since the in-game canon doesn't really specify when his affair with Kellie went public, I'm running with the idea that it came to light fairly recently and Hawk has been talking about it in promos. Asking for privacy and the like. I don't want to go too far with the Cena-ism, having a completely split fan-base, the cheer-boo stuff, etc. But with his personal life shenanigans turning some fans against him, and he takes exception to that, it sets the stage for a potential heel turn at some point in the future. Not settled on doing it as he makes a great figurehead and will do so for a long time. But it creates a reason for it happening that can be leveraged at any time. </p><p> </p><p> The monstrous babyface is always a bit lame to me, compared to the monster heel. Especially a monster heel in a mask. My intent is to drag out Core-Cross for a bit, but build it around the idea that Cross has Core's old mask as he uses it an object of power. Not quite to the level of Paul Bearer and the Undertaker's urn. More like the mask allowed Core to unleash his most vile violent urges without restraint. Putting it back on pushes him back to those old ways, so we get one last run of old school Core. More than anything else, it sets up Cross as a manipulative and possibly insane magnificent bastard character. Taking more than a bit from The Joker, he's really just helping bring back the old Core to "unleash some chaos".... and possibly help take out some top babyfaces to help him move closer to the top. Cross is someone I would have so much fun with to write if I ever did an AWF diary project. Shades of Jimmy Havoc too.</p>

But yeah, its Fleisch's. Dug a bit and it got added back in July. And by "wrestling name", I mean ones that deviate from normal names. Those extra names get you names like some of what I posted, and quite a few other very entertaining names that the standard name file alone doesn't. Nothing wrong with the names generated by the standard file but I just find these additions fun and entertaining.</p><p> </p><p> Some that people posted: </p><p> War Thunder </p><p> Blue Sprinkles</p><p> The Popular Ibis</p><p> Stretch Danzig</p><p> Pitch Wall</p><p> Western Oklahoma</p><p> Chop Swoop</p><p> Sunset Shout</p><p> Spring Hoot</p><p> East Slap</p><p> Practice Taunt</p><p> Pretty Spartan</p><p> </p><p> Ones with The <something> show up quite a bit, and quite often doubled so you end up with The <something> The <something>. Like The Popular The Smashing. So yeah, not all will make sense.</p>

Derek helped out with Fleisch's mod at the time and included the names. The CV mods were released before he helped RWC which is why they've not got the wacky names add-on pack.
