WC.W: Yes,the period belongs there.

Best take these in order. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44186" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Absolutely loving this dynasty, not sure if you intend it to be funny, but it is.</div></blockquote> Interesting thing. The stuff I intend to be funny rarely gets mentioned. Off the cuff comments I write on the spot like the stuff Dar enjoys seem to go over best. So I guess I'm funny when I'm not trying to be. Not sure what to make of that, but I'll take it. I have no pride. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44186" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Can't believe some of your matches don't get a better rating.</div></blockquote> Oh that's easy. I'm awful at booking. Well, it's a combination of hiring for entertainment and not in ring skills. Plus a great chunk of my roster isn't particularly popular, which makes it worse in a pop > performance style like mine. I also picked up half my 'talent' from cool names, pictures, or favorites of mine without even glancing at their stats. It's almost realistic in it's way, as it's probably what I would do with unlimited money and a wrestling promotion. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44186" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Definitely going to be keeping an eye on this one. </div></blockquote> I'll try to keep it watchable. With more New Jack segments, likely. <div style="text-align:center;">------------------------------------------</div> You may be wondering what PWG is. Me too, never heard of them. I could Google the answer, but I'm far too lazy for that. Let's see what the game says. 22nd ranked promotion. Pfft. Owned by Super Dragon. Wait, the Botchamania meme? HA! Pretty much equal to me in US popularity. A check on their history shows me D ratings, so no worries there. Scott Steiner alone beats their whole show. So, yeah, not sure what the deal is. Wait a sec...I checked on Super Dragon himself, and he has a strong dislike for me. But why? He's not buds with anyone else I've pissed off lately. Impressive, since I piss people off as a hobby. He just doesn't like me. Well I double don't like you, buddy! You've brought this on yourself. Time to do something I've never done before. I head over to relationships and upgrade this relationship to flat out war. Have to wait a day for a response though. Tick tock. Alright, off we go. So who's the champ over there? Zach Sabre Junior. Send him a contract, ASAP. We also share Mike Tenay as an announcer, so I'm shipping him an exclusive PPA deal now. Oh yeah, dirty tricks are available now. Let's do that. Start with messing with their sponsor's heads. Crap, I should have had my announcers bad mouth them. Mike Tenay working for them while mocking them on my show would have been double sweet. Maybe next time. Mike's not going exclusive. Jerk. Hm, let's see if they have any buddies I can mess with. They are hostile to Ring of Honor as well. So apparently Super Dragon's just a big meanie head to all his superiors in the indy biz. Makes me feel better about laying waste to him and all he holds dear. Hey, a decision. Wonder if Zach called back. No, it's Colby, wanting a pay raise. This kid, I tell you. To be fair, it would bring his pay up to his partner's rate. FINE. This better be it though. WC.W Live Incident time 'tween Kraken and VADER. Oh God I hope it's a fight. No, she's in wrestler's court for being cocky. So she's sentenced to being quiet and buying drinks for everyone. HA, way to go, VADER! My locker room has gotten crap enough to use the hardline stance, and considering we're now at war, it seems a good time to use it. I'm probably wrong. Teddy Hart and Cody Rhodes took me up on it. And nothing of value was lost. My locker room rocketed right back up. I'm the king, baby. 1007 people never heard of PWG. Preshow battle royal to keep busy. Animal won. Rating: D- Kevin Nash, long may he reign, is out for the usual. He thinks Jack Swagger and Matt Morgan are great talents who need to sort out their differences tonight in the main event. Rating: B Colby Corino vs Aja Kong A little warm up before their tag match, featuring the weak links. They don't click. Why am I not surprised? Colby wins and the thumping sound you hear is my head against my desk. Rating: E+. Way to earn that extra pay, kiddo. Shaul Guerrero is out to talk about her match against Shelton Benjamin tonight. Moving up in the world quickly, she is. Rating: D-. Matt Morgan's vouch will do that around here. Tyrus and Lisa Marie Varon vs Devastation Corporation This long strange story continues as Tyrus struggles against our new powerhouses, until Lisa takes over and wipes the floor with them. Rating: D-. Yes, I'm having Tyrus do face-in-peril, I'm freaky like that. Shelton is out to talk about Shaul. And also their match. Rating: E+. Way to disappoint. Shaul Guerrero vs Shelton Benjamin In a rarity in this promotion, the match exceeds the promos leading up to it. I think Matt might be on to something with this girl. Doesn't stop Shelton from winning, though. Rating: D Velvet Sky is here tonight for a one off match. New Jack swings by to say hi, wish her luck, and ask she wants to get hig...I mean, go out on a date. She declines. Awww. Poor guy. Rating: D. Who can resist that scarred forehead? North Dakota Kraken vs VADER And as the underline for the lesson learned earlier, Kraken gets squashed and eats a pin. Not surprisingly, VADER get better at his gimmick, which I assume is being VADER. Rating: E-. Hey, she wasn't high! Chris Masters is here, along with Shane Douglas, to talk about his upcoming match with Moose. In the battle of guys I keep forgetting to book. Rating: D+. Hey, not bad. Moose vs Chris Masters Masters was off his game, probably because I actually made him wrestle for once. Moose wins this one, because even I get tired of pushing guys via squash all the time. Rating: D Shy High and Jake are backstage just hanging out. Rating: C-. Yeah, that's it. Look at that rating though! Low-Ki's cutting a promo. Not a sentence one hears very often. This is just to see how he does at it. Rating: D+. Decent enough. Velvet Sky apparently didn't like it though, and she wants to fight about it. Seems a bit excessive, but what do I know about wrestling?Rating: D Velvet Sky vs Low-Ki This was a rare show of restraint for me, kind of a trial balloon to see if I want Sky around rather than just hiring her 'cause I felt like it. She actually seems fairly good, so maybe? Low-Ki wins. Rating: D+. And yes, it was her picture that made me do it. Matt Morgan is out and goddamn it I'm sick of him constantly struggling with everything I give him. Oh, and his match is next. Yeah. Rating: D+ Matt Morgan vs Jack Swagger And Jack's sick of it too, as he puts Morgan away to seal his inevitable rise to a World title shot. At least Matt brought it in the ring. Rating: C- Final Show Rating: C TV Rating: 0.85 Let's get right to the bitching parade. Oh, it's just one. Sean Morley thinks Kraken has no charisma. Seemed alright to me, Val. Zach Sabre's over to work with us. And also PWG still. Huh, I though being at war meant one or the other. I can still job him, at least. So join us next time as Scott comes out to meet his new rival, I debut yet another new person, and continue sweeping out the dead weight around here. And by that I mean Super Dragon.

Oh well. I tried to change my product around so that pop = performance, but I couldn't seem to find a good mix, so whatever. I'm just having fun with my WCW 1991 dynasty, if I end up getting knocked down in size, so be it. Keep up the good work though.

Darin Walker · October 20, 2017

I have all the settings on, and I'm still bad, so I don't know that it makes that much of a difference. Fun is all we're here for, so you keep doing you. Part of the fun of this game is no real game over, so failing is it's own fun. Good thing for me.

Keep up the good work though.

No promises on quality, but I'm going to keep posting anyway, so enjoy if that's what you're into.

-------------------------------------

Good God, IWA: Mid South and Smoky Mountain Wrestling have gone hostile too. It's like an indy feeding frenzy down here. Well, I'm down for that boyos, except with some extra hostile action. WAR FOR ALL!

Seth Rollins's contract is up, so I tried to send an offer just for fun. He says we're too small for him. Yeah well, you're too small for a main eventer. As my boy Nash would say, vanilla midget.

Ring of Honor, not you too? They're actually above me in the size department, too. Not that I'm bothered my such a thing. WAR FOR YOU TOO!

I must be doing something right if everyone wants to fight me. They'll regret it when Big Poppa Pump gets back on camera.

WC.W Live

No incidents. Sad face. I tried to meddle and make something happen with Scott Steiner and Kraken, but no go. Sadder face.

1178 people think all those other promotions are just jealous.

Preshow

Vader and North Dakota Kraken beat Perry Saturn and Shaul Guerrero. Rating: E

Shaul Guerrero claims she's awesome anyway. Rating: E+

Main show starts with Kevin Nash, who tells us about our main event, Jack Swagger and Matt Morgan against the Steiner Brothers. But in even bigger news, he announces an upcoming event, WC.W Spring Cleaning Only It's in Fall. The losers of each and every match on the not yet announced card will be fired. I'm sure everyone's dying to get booked on there. Rating: B

Charlie Haas vs Stevie Richards

Now that I got that big blue anchor off of him, maybe it's time to see if Steve can move himself up the card to a real World title. Or at least ours. Chuck taps out to give Stevie the win. Rating: D-

Shark Boy vs Buff Bagwell

When he emailed me asking for more wins, I'm sure this is exactly what Buff had in mind. Shark Boy eats the pin for his monthly paycheck. Rating: E

Kevin Nash returns out to announce a new rookie, connected to an old friend of his. Ladies and gentleman, Kiera Hogan. Actually she's just a new worker with a coincidental name, but when I saw that name with the picture of a black chick, I decided to make her Hulk's bastard daughter. Because he's all about interracial relationships. Rating: D+. Glad her gimmick sucks and she underperformed. It's almost a rite of passage around here.

Shannon Moore vs Kiera Hogan

Well, I can't use Justin Credible for every 'I need someone to stare at the lights for my new flavor of the month.' match. Kiera wins with an Atomic legdrop over that stupid mohawk of his. Rating: D-. Anyone notice the ladies delivering the goods more than most of the guys in the midcard?

Kiera heads backstage after her match to find New Jack waiting, to make a move on her too. Sadly with the same results. Will he ever find love? Rating: D-. Maybe with someone who's not old enough to be his daughter?

Scott Steiner gets a music video for him, because we all know who the crowd's here for. Rating: C

Sky High and Jake talk about their title match with Kong and Kong, which is coming up next. And I clearly haven't learned my lesson with this Corino idiot. Rating: D-. C'mon Jake, help me out here.

Kong Squared vs Sky High

for the WC.W Tag Team titles

The girls aren't eligible for the AWA version, sadly. Not that it much matters anyway, as Sky High goes over regardless. And Colby gained some performance skills. Good thing we're focused more on mic work, isn't it? Rating: D

Shelton is out to hit his catchphrase on Low-Ki, and hopefully his finisher in the upcoming match. Rating: D

Shelton Benjamin vs Low-Ki

OMG guys it finally happened! We had a match with good wrestling. I'm literally bouncing in my chair with excitment. I was thinking I should have saved this for a big event, but then I remembered Low-Ki would have been fired when Shelton beat him, so maybe not so much. Rating: C-. Match of the night, I imagine.

The Steiners are out to talk about their match, and oddly enough Rick did a better job freestyling it. Scott still looked good, because the game keeps telling me that. Kinda creepy, really. Rating: C-

Raven is out, making fun of Zach Sabre and the crappy company he works for. I seriously love this man. I tell him to be a dick and every time he brings me ratings. Rating: C

Zach Sabre the Second vs Raven

You already know how this ends. You just didn't know they have no chemistry. Me either. Zach is good in the ring, but who cares about that around here? Not me, for sure. DDT for 1-2-3. Rating: D+

Jack Swagger is not good at improv promos. This was apparently a surprise to me, since I booked it. Rating: C-. What are you talking about, game, looks fine to me.

Jack Swagger and Matt Morgan vs the Steiner Brothers

Rick Steiner was off his game, having blown his wad of being good for the year earlier. Matt and Jack were equally good, making me even more inclined to lean toward the change figurehead button. Regardless, Jack tapped Rick out. Rating: C-

The Steiner's get their heat back by beating the crap out of the two of them. Rick manages to be underwhelming at that too. Rating: D+. There's the high note to end the show on!

Final Show Rating: C. I used Kiera too much. No such thing, brother.

TV Rating: 0.92. That's almost a 1!

ZACH SABRE LEFT PWG. HAHAHAHAHA! I'm going to steal all their world champions, I swear to God.

E rating in the States finally. Mexico is, of course, ahead of the curve at E+. Muy bueno.

So join us next time as New Jack fails to find love, PWG fails to keep champions, and the entire world decides I'm worth fighting. And more firings!

Questlove · October 20, 2017

I love this so much.

Never knew I wanted to see Jake Roberts vs. New Jack for the AWA World title so badly.

apollyon · October 21, 2017

Im not a fan of real world stuff, yet here we are. This is awesome. Perfect comedic tone.

Darin Walker · October 22, 2017

This is awesome. Perfect comedic tone. </div></blockquote> Welcome to the party. New Jack and Kraken are happy to share a few lines with you. <div style="text-align:center;">-------------------------------</div> Global Force Wrestling and EVOLVE have apparently heard about the hostility brewing against me and they want in on it. Come at me then, I got enough WAR for everyone. Especially since Zach Sabre is the EVOLVE World champ. WC.W Live Incident tonight is Zach Sabre and Justin Credible....bonding over cars. Probably Justin wishing he could afford one. My relationship meddling continues to have no effect, probably because I keep trying positive ones. 1398 people think this war with everyone is just silly. Kevin Nash loves you. Whole big bunches. And because of that, he is giving us Jack Swagger and Scott Steiner for the World title TONIGHT. All hail Kevin Nash. Rating: B Dalip Singh and Moose vs Tyrus and Lisa Marie Varon How come spellchecker flags Dalip, but not Singh? Moose and Lisa managed to carry this match, much to my surprise. This Moose guy might be something to keep an eye one. Neither factored into the finish as Singh managed to pin Tyrus, who was off his game anyway, so to hell with him. Rating: D Raven is here, and he is awesome as always. He explains this to the crowd for five minutes. Rating: C Chris Masters vs Raven Raven was sucking wind in this brief match, which didn't stop him from winning. Now that I stopped amusing myself with his over elaborate entrance thing, I notice Chris has a funny shaped nose. Just thought I'd share. Rating: D. Shane Douglas is a decent manager for him, at least. Xia Brookside is backstage for no good reason, as I didn't bother giving her a match. New Jack comes up and asks her out. Oh, there's the reason. She respectfully declines. Rating: E+. Gregory Helms helped Xia during this segment. I can't imagine how. New Jack beats the crap out of her for rejecting him. Well, this was inevitable. Gregory Helms didn't help during this segment, which is too bad for Xia. Rating: E-. Stepping to New Jack probably wouldn't have helped anyway. Justin Credible cuts a promo about himself. I can't imagine what this even sounds like, since I never heard him speak, nor wanted to. Anyone got a good Justin promo out there? Rating: D-. Didn't think so. Justin Credible vs Charlie Haas In the match no one in the world ever wanted to see. Pretty sure ten people returned their tickets after I booked this. And twenty more after Justin won with whatever the hell Justin's finisher is. Rating: E+. Yeah, he seriously did win. Shaul Guerrero is out, talking about how she's going to beat Saraya Knight tonight. At least mark your spoilers, hon. Rating: D Saraya Knight vs Shaul Guerrero Not that anyone thought Saraya was going to win anyway, but maintain some bit of kayfabe. It's still real to someone, dammit. Rating: E+ Shelton Benjamin has a match tonight with Mr Anderson. The latter thinks the former is going to lose. Rating: C- Shelton Benjamin vs Mr. Anderson I keep putting a g at the end of Shelton's name. Not sure if I should break the habit or change his name to Sheltong. It does have an odd ring to it. Mr. Anderson proves prophetic, hitting the mic check on Mr. Benjaming. Rating: C- Matt Morgan wants to prove to me that he can do good work on the mic, hyping his match with Low-Ki tonight. The game says his performance was good. Rating: D. I have a slightly different opinion of the term good, it seems. Low-Ki vs Matt Morgan Good match, I will admit. Even better that Morgan gained a bit of Technical skill along with his win. I still think my decision to keep the belt around Scott was the right one though. Rating: C- Scott Steiner vs Jack Swagger And the game proves me immediately wrong when Scott gets hurt in this title defense. Apparently a healthy rotator cuff isn't needed to slap a Steiner Recliner on someone. In case you were curious. Rating: C-. And I know you were. And Mr. Anderson is there after the match, to tell Scott that he wants one more shot at him. And this time, he'll put his career on the line for a shot at the title. Scott was supposed to respond, but wisely kept quiet until we can figure out how bad the injury is. Rating: C. Because Scott is awesome. And so was this promo to end the show. Final Show Rating: D+. DAMMIT, how did I get too few angles? Probably Justin's fault. TV Rating: 0.91. Also his fault. And of course Scott's out for a couple months. Not that it's going to stop him from bitching about Saraya being too small. Never change, Scott. So join us next time, as I tear my plans for the big event into tiny little pieces, thanks to Scott's inflatable muscles popping. Thanks steroids!

Darin Walker · October 23, 2017

So I spent the week stealing champions, as you do. Cody Rhodes is the current ROH champ though, and for some reason doesn't want to jump ship. Probably because he's a loser. I didn't even bother with SMW's champ, he's barely jobber level over here. Lashey sadly doesn't want to leave GFW. That'll change in time, friend.

Despite the war with half the companies in the country, GFW and ROH are the only ones that approach our show quality, and with less consistancy, last show not withstanding. Concentrating on them will be high on the agenda, although taking cheap shots at the rest will of course be a thing, because it's me.

It's now November, and you know what that means. Email declaring victory in the regional wars. This also brings our momentum to an A+, probably the only A+ we'll see around here for some time. We've also risen to the 6th most popular company in the world. We deserve it.

WC.W Live

Jack Swagger is the incident today, apparently too high to work. That's a lot of pot, man. Not being as scary as New Jack, I actually confront him on this. Not that it did anything. Probably because he had no idea what I was talking about. More useless meddling as well.

1695 people miss Scott Steiner already.

Kevin Nash is here, to tell us about poor Scott's injury. The doctor's say it's serious, but Scott punched them out and went to voodoo priest for a second opinion. He'll let us know what results from it next week. In the meantime, he booked a bunch of tag matches. So enjoy. Rating: B. ENJOY DAMMIT

Shelton's out to talk about his match. Not one of those tag matches, a singles with Moose. Because putting him in a tag match would mean more Charlie Haas. Rating: D

Shelton Benjamin vs Moose

I didn't book a lot of winners in this show, just to see what happened. Not surprisingly here, Shelton won. Quite the opener, too. Probably going to overshadow my midcard a ton. Rating: C-

North Dakota Kraken and Shaul Guerrero are here, to argue poorly about which one is better. Neither, according to the notes. They fail to mention anything about their match tonight either. Well done, ladies. Rating: E+. Practice makes perfect, one hopes.

Perry Saturn and Buff Bagwell vs North Dakota Kraken and Shaul Guerrero

The girls win this one, with Kraken picking up some Performance skills too. Shaul got better at her gimmick too, so declare her the winner of the last promo as well. Rating: E

SKy High is out, to continue the trend of terrible promos. They're not wrestling tonight, just watching to scout their opponents in the future. Amazing that they manage to screw up that simple concept. Rating: D. Jake is at a loss with these two.

Tyrus vs Dalip Singh

After beating him in a tag match, Dalip disposes of Tyrus quickly in this single match. Not like I was going to give these two twenty minutes. Rating: D-

Kiera Hogan is out to remind us of her ancestry. Because I'm never going to get tired of this joke. Rating: E.

Saraya Knight and Rikishi vs Chris Masters and Justin Credible

I am really glad I didn't book a winner, because Saraya won by submitting Masters, and holy God is that a funny mental image. Justin sucked, because the game loves stating the obvious. Rating: D-. Boy, Masters fell hard fast, didn't he?

Matt Morgan talks to Zach Sabre about teaming up tonight. Zach is agreeable. High drama indeed. Rating: D+

The Kongs come out to face the Devastation Corporation. They stare each other down before the ref can seperate them. Menace is a good stat, abuse the crap out of it kids. Rating: C-

The match I just mentioned above

Awesome Kong lives up to the name, the obvious standout in the match. The game wisely booked her partner to lose, as Blaster blasts her with a Fallaway Slam. Which must have looked impressive as hell. Rating: D

Low-Ki is out next to join the I-can't-cut-a-promo-to-save-my-life club tonight. Ugh. Rating: E+

Michael Elgin vs Low-Ki

Elgin is the new PWG champion, so naturally he shows right up on my show. Hehehe. He takes out my frustration all over Ki and taps him out. Good debut, despite being a bit off his game. Rating: D+

He continues beating the crap out of Ki post match. Remember what I said about menace. Rating: D+

Mr. Anderson is out with Raven, who does his usual saving the show with a single promo. They're facing Matt and Zach right about next segment. Rating: C. I don't know what I'm going to do if he retires.

Raven and Mr. Anderson vs Zach Sabre Jr. and Matt Morgan the not Jr.

Yeah, I just shoved the whole main event scene in here until I figure the Scott Steiner thing out. Good idea, too, as they are putting up Scott-like ratings up. I might survive this yet. Matt beat Raven to win this one. Rating: C-

Final Show Rating: C. Maybe more Nash promos will bump that up.

TV Rating: 1.04. WHOOOOOOOOO

Raven thinks Jesus is awful, Rikishi disagrees. Jesus Rodriguez, not of Nazareth. I think.

Join us next time as I might set some matches up for that special event I mentioned a few posts ago. Also, 5th most popular promotion after that last show. Good job, me.

Darin Walker · October 24, 2017

Alright, so I finally pulled the trigger and kicked Matt off the figurehead position. He was only annoyed at it, so I don't know why I got so worried. Maybe he knew he was disappointing me too. We're just going to go without for a while.

Michael Elgin has completed his transfer over to us. I sent an email to Super Dragon that just consisted of a smiley face. I also didn't notice that House of Hardcore joined the pitchfork carrying mob outside my door, so add them to THE LIST.

WC.W Live

Scott Steiner brought some of his freaks backstage, despite me telling people to keep the marks out of the back. I dismissed them and politely asked him to stop.

North Dakota Kraken was apparently at Jack Swagger's place, as she showed up too stoned to work. So I chewed her out too and sent her off.

2003 people think pot's great, but not before a wrestling match.

We start off the show with Raven whining about everything to an uncaring crowd. Because we're in Puerto Rico, apparently. Madre de Dios, this is going to be a long night. Anyway, he wants a match with Jake Roberts. Rating: E. The wrestling matches shouldn't be any more crap than usual, at least.

Kevin Nash is out to talk about the matches tonight, but who cares, no one understands him but us anyway. Rating: E. I can't believe I made this rookie mistake. Well, maybe I kinda can.

Michael Elgin is out for round three of incomprehensibility. He's facing Shelton up next. Rating: E+. That's oddly better.

Micheal Elgin vs Shelton Benjamin

It's a damn good thing I've been picking up actual wrestlers lately. They put on a good match, Shelton wins, and I ask Swagger if he brought anything smokable with him so I can get through this show. Rating: C-. The answer was yes, of course.

Sky High and Jake are out to discuss the upcoming title defense. The boys are concerned and offer to watch his back, but Jake's not worried. Rating: E-. Sigh.

Justin Credible and Buff Bagwell vs Devastation Corporation

Justin and Buff have no chemistry. Just keep digging that splinter deeper under my fingernail, game. The big guys won, but I didn't see it because I locked myself in a smoke filled bathroom to cry for the rest of the show. Rating: E+

Kiera Hogan and Shaul Guerrero are out to talk about their match with the Twin Kongs. They aren't worried about the size disadvantage. Rating: F+. Of course Guerrero doesn't speak Spanish.

Kong and Kong vs Guerrero and Hogan

Maybe they should have been more worried. The Kongs beat the hell out of them until Aja gets bored of it and pins Shaul. Rating: D-

The Kongs are backstage after the match with Jesus, who can at least translate, God bless him. New Jack is here to congratulate them, and mack on Amazing Kong. She's not interested, but she says Aja's available. Jack and Aja death glare for a moment, then Jack just shrugs and agrees to a date. Thankfully not tonight. Rating: E+

Jake Roberts is here, and proves his worth by cutting the best promo of the night despite not knowing the language. Rating: D-. Wow.

Raven vs Jake Roberts

for the AWA World title

In the second pleasant surprise of the night, they put on a better match than I had guessed they would. Neither of these guys lights the world on fire between the ropes, but I'll take it. Raven wins, and takes Jake's vanity title. Rating: D-

Raven beats the hell out of him post match, and Sky High chases him off for the save.Rating: E+. Can't blame that on the language barrier. But I will.

A video of Scott Steiner plays. Big Poppa Pump is universal, and needs no translation. Rating: C-. Not like you can understand him in English half the time.

Mr. Anderson is out to mushmouth to the crowd, as far as they can tell. Pretty good though, considering. Rating: D-

Jack Swagger vs Mr. Anderson

After smoking himself into a no-show, you can guess how this went. Anderson wins, and I have a faint hope the matches might keep this out of a D rating. Rating: C-

Matt Morgan is out to hype his match with Zach Sabre. You know how this goes by now. Rating: D-

Matt Morgan vs Zach Sabre the Second

Matt keeps getting better at technical skills. Was he that crap, or are these guys that good? Regardless, Zach wins as I begin migrating Matt out of the main event scene for a while. Rating: C

Scott's out to congratulate him on beating Matt, but isn't impressed, since he beats him all the time. He says if he wants a shot at a real world title, he has to try harder. Imagine how good that could have been. Sigh. Rating: E+. Oh c'mon, Scott, Matt did better than that.

I really don't want to push the end show button.

Final Show Rating: D+. I'm going to go get drunk now.

TV Rating: 1.02

I check my email hungover the next morning. Chris Masters complains about Aja being unsafe. No one cares. Scott thinks Blastmaster can't work WC.W style. Shut up Scott, you can't even work right now. Zach wants time off to heal. I tell him to stop working those other companies then.

Well, join us next time as we head to the go-home show in an area where English is spoken, Matt learns how t....wait.

You gotta be kidding.

Hehe.

Although if we make it to cult, you'll know Satan has a hand in it. If he ever returns my phone calls. <div style="text-align:center;">--------------------------------------------</div> Such excitement I feel, now that we made it into the not-so-small leagues. Especially on the backs of those jerks who keep being all hostile and stuff. I celebrate by hiring some more people for my overstuffed roster. To be fair, I'm doing it with slightly more forward thinking, as soon we will be within striking distance of assaulting the real big leagues around here. Still a lot of people who think we're too small for them. Yeah, but we know how to use it, buddies. Time to go to the go-home show! WC.W Live Hey, Kraken's too stoned to work. Good start. Some more ineffectual yelling should do the trick. Kevin Nash also got into a fight with one of the new hires. I calmly explained that just because he has a punchable face doesn't mean you should punch it. He remained unconvinced. At least he didn't blow a quad leaving the office. 1982 people are not the two thousand I was hoping for. Big Kev's out to announce our super special main event. Tonight, we will have a battle royal, the winner gaining themselves a free pass out of WC.W Spring Cleaning Except It's Damn Near Winter. Because who wouldn't want a match to opt out of a big event. He will also announce the card at the end of the show. Rating: C+ VADER vs Moose In the battle of the five letter names, experience trumps youth. VADER beats Moose, who I swear to God I will find some use for besides jobber to the stars. Rating: D- New Jack is out on his date with Aja. New Jack talks about the rather long list of people he hates and the longer list of chemicals he enjoys. Aja just stares the whole time. He also makes some insinuation about making a move for the title if Scott ever comes back. More staring. Rating: D+. Truly growing love is a beautiful thing. Perry Saturn vs Kiera Hogan Perry autopushes to midcard rather than occasional, so I guess I should get him some more matches. So he beats Kiera to hopefully get her better at wrestling. Although she gave the better performance, so maybe she's teaching him. Rating: E Jake Roberts is out, and he wants a rematch with Raven for his title. He's getting it too. Rating: D Raven vs Jake Roberts for Jake's goddamned title They took each other to the limit, which was about six minutes or so. But then the Kongs came in and started beating on Jake. Then Sky High came in and started beating on them. Rating: E And everyone just kept beating on everyone. Can't we all just get along? Rating: D-. No, no we can't. Velvet Sky debuts and talks about who gives a crap look at that rating! Rating: B-. Someone's getting a contract extension. Velvet Sky vs Tamina I may have forgot to book a winner here. If I had known she was going to cut a promo like that, Tamina sure as hell would have eaten a pin. Alas, Tamina and her average gimmick take it here. Rating: D- Scott Steiner is here and there is no way you are grateful enough for that. He wishes everyone luck in the battle royale, mostly because he doesn't care who wins because none of them can beat him anyway. Rating: A+. I LOVE THIS MAN. Battle Royale with cheese for the honor of not fighting on Friday Everyone not booked was in this, including the following debuts: Dana Brooke, who was off her game. Nice start. Jay Lethal, good gimmick, most eliminations. Rene Dupree, who couldn't fend off a geriatric Kevin Nash before the show. Way to live that badass gimmick. And finally, Stu Bennett, the former Wade Barrett, who did well as a tough guy. But the winner was Shelton Benjamin, who I had no intention of firing, obviously. The rest of you are on notice though. Rating: C- Kev's back out to congratulate the winner, and announce the card for WC.W Spring Cleaning of your lazy asses out. But I'll save the card posting for the end of the post. It's really good though! Rating: B-. Even without Scott Steiner. The credits start to roll, and suddenly out of the crowd comes Ryan Reeves, who assaults the hell out of Big Kev before being pulled off by security. He fights them off and escapes into the crowd, being chased by the black shirts. And the show ends on that note. Rating: C+ Final Show Rating: B- YEAH BABY SUCK THAT DOWN SUPER DRAGON. TV Rating: 1.22 ------------------------------ So now it comes to this. The biggest show in WC.W history. Without our champion, of course. But it probably won't suck too bad. And if it does, hey at least you know half of the people will be fired anyway! Prediction contest returns. As always, the winner will get a random prize from Darin's bag of holding. Let's get right to it then. WC.W Spring Cleaning, because I don't know when spring is Michael Elgin vs Mr. Anderson One of the hotter new faces in our growing company faces Scott Steiner's favorite punching bag. Will Anderson's promo abilities be enough to save him from leaving WC.W forever? Matt Morgan vs VADER Once the supposed centerpiece of the company, Matt Morgan's star has fallen due to a very inconsistant run near the top. And so he faces the man named VADER for his very life. Lisa Marie Varon vs Dalip Signh In her run through the big men of WC.W, Lisa now faces the biggest one of them all, and one of the most shockly stable main eventers in the company. Will she scale this mountain, or will I finally end this stupid story? Justin Credible vs Buff Bagwell In what will likely be the hardest match to predict, two of my least favorite wrestlers will come to blows. Only one can be fired, which one do I hate most? New Jack vs Rick Steiner Yep, New Jack is getting the champ's attention in a big way. Is my love for New Jack enough to piss off the best worker in my company, or have I finally tired of his antics and give Rick the win he's been whining about? Sky High and Jake Roberts vs Raven and the Kongs In the longest running fued in WC.W, it finally ends now. Raven will cease talking about the kids, or they will shut his mouth up for good. I know which one my email folder is voting for, how about you? Join us next time. I know I will.

Darin Walker · July 26, 2018

Hey, look what I remembered to update.

I've been getting the itch to do some more dynasty stuff, and I remembered this goofy little project. So rather than start all over again anew, I decided to jump right back into this. The details are spotty in my memory, but the way I usually work, there probably won't be much of a difference in the booking. But feel free to read the backstory while I get to the show. I probably won't.

We'll start off with a bang, as Michael Elgin ruptures a lumbar. I'm guessing he's not going to work through that injury. Time to change the card already.

WC.W Spring Cleaning, in fall in game, in summer irl

Incidents! My favorite.

Charlie Haas is doing some BBQ. That'll keep him busy and me fat.

3280 people waited far too long for this

DDP is out, due to the attack on usual hype machine Kevin Nash. No word on recovery from his triple quad tear the attack gave him. But in the meantime, Page hypes up the warriors tonight, half of which will never work here again. Kind of a grim start, really. Rating: C

Speaking of grim, check out the rating from this Buff promo. He's fighting for his career against Justin Credible tonight, in the match no one wants to see. Rating: E+. Say goodbye to one of my favorite punching bags.

Justin Credible vs Buff Bagwell

It's just wonderful that what's likely to be the worst match of the night has the most meaning to me personally, as I only hire these guys to make fun of them constantly. Not wishing to disappoint me, they put on a terrible match. I never doubted you, boys. But only one can win, and Buff sends Justin back to the retail industry. Rating: E-

Jack Swagger is here, to replace the injured Michael Elgin. He's tells us he's not real happy about getting shoved into a career match, but not about to lose to the likes of Anderson. Rating: D. He even stayed sober for this one! You know he's serious.

New Jack is out next, and he's much happier to be here, as he's looking forward to ruining one Steiner on the path to the next one. NICE promo here. Rating: C-. Woefully underrated on the mic in this database, sadly.

Rick Steiner vs New Jack

Good chemistry between these guys. Of course, one's getting canned after this. I could drag it out for drama, but c'mon, you know how this ends. I hope Scott will forgive me, as New Jack sends Rick on his way from our glorious company. Rating: E. Got the crowd buzzing. Yeah, hanging around New Jack will do that.

Dalip Singh makes a long grand entrance, complete with his own band playing him down to the ring. Awe inspiring. Rating: C

Lisa Marie Varon vs Dalip Singh

And the entrance was about ten times longer than the match. Lisa charges with a clothesline, and Singh is down. The referee calls for the bell as Singh is DOA. Rating: D

Jake Roberts and Sky High are out, talking about all the boys have endured since joining WC.W, and how the time to prove themselves has finally arrived tonight, when they put Raven and the Kongs away for good. Rating: D

Matt Morgan is facing VADER, and he's here to tell us all about it. Matt, I mean. VADER is more of the staredown sort, really. Rating: D+. Better, I guess.

Matt Morgan vs VADER

No chemistry. Every friggin' time, Matt. It's always something with this guy. Despite my desperate desire to hurt Matt for his constant disappointments, he does take VADER out, killing one of my old favorites along with my desire to make Matt the man around here. Rating: D

Raven is here to rebut the statement by Jake and the boys, and does so in his usual fashion. Way, way better. Rating: B-

Raven and the Kongs vs Jake Roberts and Sky High

I am, as I'm sure you noticed, a bit of a dick. Mostly for amusement, my reader's as well as mine own. But there's no way, despite my love for Raven, I could possibly put him over the boys after the story I setup. He's been crapping on them for months, both in show and all over my email box. So as much as it saddens me, for the good of the show...sigh....

I put Raven over, of course.

HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Rating: D-

Mr Anderson is about as happy as Jack Swagger tonight, as a switch of opponents at the last minute leaves him little time to prepare. But he's ready to prove himself worthy to challenge for the title, and he'll do it tonight. Rating: D+

Jack Swagger vs Mr. Anderson

Mr. Anderson is only spared the title of most disappointing main eventer due to the existence of Mr. Morgan. Still better than Justin Credible, granted, but that ain't going to make him any luckier. The Swag snaps his ankle, and any hope of revenge against Steiner. Rating: C-

Final Show Rating: C. Yeah, buddy I'll take it.

TV Rating 1.23

Post show I complimented Swagger, told Raven he was awesome, and told Justin he was worthless as I fired him. Because I'm classy like that.

Lot of pissed off people after the firings, especially Scott Steiner. Nobody likes watching their brother get sacked. A hundred grand shut him right up though. You can buy a new brother with that money! We're still down a good seven points in backstage, so that's fun too.

And with that, we begin a new era here at W:C.W-~! Mostly because I barely remember the old one. See ya soon.

Darin Walker · July 29, 2018

The Matt Morgan figurehead thing might not have been just a drunken impulse, hard as that might be to believe. It seems he is just about ready, except for not being near as over as other canadates. The problem there, of course, is that every time I give him promos and matches, he underdelivers, so I'm not sure if I want to invest the time or energy, especially since I might forget what the hell I'm even doing.

But never mind that, let's get to the favorite part of the show, incidents preshow.

Shane Douglas apparently beat up Chris Masters after being a dick to him. What does Shane even do around here? Whatever it is, I told him to stop being a dick. Not surprisingly, Shane has trouble with the non-dickness. On top of that, Masters says I was too soft about it. That's rich, coming from the guy who just got his ass kicked.

Ryan Reeves got dragged to wrestler's court for his own dickishness by DDP. He was sentanced to shutting up and buying drinks.

I tried to mend fences with Awesome Kong and Scott Steiner, who didn't like each other. So now they hate each other. Apparently the way to jerk these guys around is do the opposite of what I actually want. That makes sense to me.

Long story short, they're all dicks.

WC.W LIve, now with extra penis-like behavior

2,228 came for the genital humor

A wheelchair bound Kevin Nash rolls on out to the stage to open the show. He also has both legs and an arm casted, a collar around his neck, his ribs taped, and a face guard on. He may be hurt, is what I'm trying to get across. He's order extra security to prevent extra dastardly deeds being performed today. Because that always works when security shows up in wrestling events. He also runs down the card, as usual. Rating: C+

Let me tell ya something, Mene Gene, Keira Hogan comes out, and just goes all in on the name, cutting Hulkster style promo, brother. She takes on Low-Ki tonight. Rating: E. Somewhat lacking her ancestor's charisma.

Keira Hogan vs Low-Ki

This match was entirely Keira performing Hulk's finishing sequence for the win. Low-Ki was somewhat unhappy about the booking. Chalk it up to misogyny. Rating: D

Raven is out, to talk about how awesome it is being right all the time. He's also a fighting champion, and he'll prove it by defending his AWA title, unlike some overinflated champions he won't mention. Rating: C+

Raven vs Shark Boy

for the AWA World Championship

A truly worthy contender. Raven jumps the Shark quickly and ends this with my second favorite Pearl Jam song DDT. Rating: E+

Matt Morgan comes out, stops about halfway down the ramp, then starts scream how he needs scissors and 61. Then he charges into the crowd and disappears. Rating: B-. And no, I don't know what that was about either.

Chris Masters and Buff Bagwell vs Xia Brookside and Anthony Bennett

Shane Douglas manages Masters, that's right. Wait, what? He got beat up by his manager? HAHAHAHAHAHA. Makes me double glad I gave the youngsters the win. Only wish I didn't book Buff to eat the pin now. Rating: E+

Kong Squared vs The World's Greatest Tag Team

for the vacant WC.W Tag Team Championship

Not like there was any other real contenders to speak of. Working on that. Shelton, to the surprise of absolutely no one, was the stand out wrestler in the match. Since wrestling barely matters around here, though, The Kong's take the match anyway, along with the titles. Rating: D+

After the match, Ryan Reevesback comes over the security barrier, easily disposing of the security as he smacks Shelton away, grabs Charlie Haas, and kidnaps him right back through the crowd. Haas manages to perform that task poorly somehow. Rating: D. Ryan looked excellent though.

Dana Brooke and Velvet Sky are out next. They have a match coming up, but more importantly they wish to discuss how great they are. This is somewhat undercut by Dana being crap without a script. Rating: D+

Moose and Rene Dupree vs Dana Brooke and Velvet Sky

In my continued testing of possible tag teams today. This was a throwaway match, and as such I didn't bother booking a winner. Rene got the pin, which is ok by me. Consider it an apology that I forgot I hired you. Rating: D+

Raven and New Jack are backstage. New Jack is upset because he has a tag match today, when he wanted to smack more Steiners around. Raven tells him he's teaming up with North Dakota Kraken, and suggests maybe he could use this chance to try to make a move on her again. Suddenly New Jack is ok with this. Rating: C-. New Jack romance, bringing the ratings.

Devastation Corporation vs New Jack and North Dakota Kraken

This match was trash, of course, but it's just here to further our hero's tale. New Jack even tags NDK in to let her get the pin like a gentleman. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? Rating: E+. Usual bitching about New Jack being messed up

Stu Bennett is out to talk about his match with Jack Swagger. I can't imagine what he says, since they have no beef and this is a holding pattern until Scott gets healed, but he manages. Rating: B-. Noice.

Stu Bennett vs Jack Swagger

Good chemistry, good match, and they got better at their gimmicks. I'm a freaking genius. Jack Swagger wins, because Jack Swagger. Rating: C. But Bennett's definitely main event level now. Swagger's high again. Yay.

Jay Lethal is out to hype his match with Zack Sabre Junior. Not quite as impressive with nothing to work with as Stu. Rating: C-

Zach LightSabre Jr vs Jay Lethal

Funny how I enjoy the hell out of my midcard stories and do throwaway main events. But who cares, because it works! Jay Lethal picks up the win, so at least he's better in matches than Stu, if not promos. Rating: C+. Someday, maybe he'll lose to Scott Steiner too.

Final Show Rating: C+

TV Rating: 1.41

Everybody's annoyed at the druggies, of course. Matt Morgan wants Jesus Rodriguez to get some promo time. Moose has an opinion I don't bother to read, and Ryan Reeves thinks Low-Ki doesn't connect with the fans. Amazing how they continue to think their opinions matter to me. I continue to ignore New Jack's drug use and tell Swagger to stop it very nicely.

Join us next time, as I enable drug use in the workplace, integrate actual wrestlers into my roster, and continue to push senior citizens as legitimate threats. Who wouldn't want to see that?

Frenchy_Tweest · July 30, 2018

I'm giving this thread five stars. It's just plain fun.

Darin Walker · August 4, 2018

Anyone who has been reading any of my stuff at all will no doubt have noticed that long term planning isn't really a thing for me. Long time readers of this particular dynasty will no doubt remember my accidental choice of Matt Morgan for figurehead. While it made for a funny read for some and a funny write for me, it keeps popping up in my head for some reason. It makes for a better option than chronically injured Scott Steiner, for sure. On the other hand, SCOTT STEINER. So many of life's choices are difficult. With the new hiring wave, Big Poppa Pump's kind of slid down the list of really over wrestlers. And it's only going to get worse when I hit cult and start throwing money and literally anyone in the WWE.

What I'm saying is, I have no idea what to do. Which is no surprise to anyone, I'm sure. In the meantime, I will plod on with my vaguely defined plans.

End of month comes, and we win all the regional battles, because we're awesome. A couple WWE guys come up for grabs, one of which is out of reach due to size, the other however....

Never mind that, incident time as we head into the next show. And it's New Jack and Matt Morgan. Oh no. New Jack was an ass, and Matt knocked him the f out. OMG that decides it, Matt Morgan is the best now. Oh yeah, and I pointed and laughed at New Jack, which was a dumb move, both in game and for my life.

Road Warrior Animal did much the same to Ron Simmons, who works backstage for me. Same result too, as Simmons laid him out. Who in God's name looks at Ron Simmons and says 'Yeah, I can take him.'. I fired him, because he's not New Jack and I have no use for him. And my backstage is diving down at record rates. God I love this game.

I also publicly fired Dan Maloney, because he was irritated with me, I have no idea who he was, and it seemed funny at the time. Nobody really cared, least of all me.

WC.W Live!

2309 people think Matt Morgan is ready.

Preshow: Low-Ki beats Anonymous, Jesus Rodriguez beats Buff Bagwell.

Kevin Nash is out, in a full body cast wheeled in on a handtruck. Someone holds the mic up to his mouth as he hypes the show, which will include a tag team title match and more filler until Scott Steiner gets back. I didn't mean for him to say that last part literally. Rating: C

DDP is confronted backstage by Shelton Benjamin, who would like to know what's being done about his partner being abducted last week. DDP says it's being looked in to, but in the meantime he has a match tonight. I mean, how important is kidnapping really? Rating: C-

Velvet Sky is awesome, just ask her. I gave her five minutes to tell you so. Rating: D+

Paige vs Velvet Sky

Hey,a match. I gave Paige a drug addict gimmick, because I'm sensitive like that. She manages to beat up Ms. Sky for the crime of not signing a longer contract than me. Rating: D. Is it bad that I'm the WWE unemployment office?

Tyrus is out next along with Lisa Marie Varon to talk about his upcoming match with Kiera Hogan. He is fully confident he will win. After all, huge guys facing people named Hogan has never failed in the past. Rating: C+. Wow, he might be an asset in the promo department. If I remember to book him.

Tyrus vs Kiera Hogan

Kiera wins this one, of course. She might not of if I knew Tyrus could do a promo like that. Too late to worry about it now. Not like he's not used to losing to women by now. Rating: D-

New Jack, Raven, and North Dakota Kraken vs Devastation Corporation and KENTA

Two matches in a row, what are the odds? KENTA was the best ring performer, to no one's surprise. I put NDK over him anyway, to the same amount of surprise. Rating: D-. No better than Tyrus and Kiera? Ouch. Also Kraken was high, but not New Jack. That is the only surprise of the match.

KENTA, a true sportsman, goes to shake Kraken's hand post match. New Jack, somewhat less so, beats him down. Kraken jumps in to, because of course she does. Rating: E. Oh, c'mon, who wouldn't want to see that?

Tamina vs Jay Lethal

This is just to keep Jay Lethal winning, as he is my back-up Matt Morgan. Rating: C-. That was better than I expected.

Jay is going to give an interview after, but Scott Steiner come out and beats the hell out of him. If you're going to be my back-up Matt Morgan, get used to losing to Scotty. Rating: C-. Jay was underwhelming. Well, he got beat up, what do you want?

Rikishi and Stu Bennett vs The Kongs

for the WC.W Tag Team Championship

You think this is what Stu had in mind when he signed on? The Kongs win here, with Stu the clear best wrestler in the ring. Not like I needed the game to tell me that. Rating: D+

Afterwords, Stu and Rikishi dance. Why else is Rikishi here? Rating: D-. I bet Stu didn't see the show before I hired him.

Rene is out to hype his match with Zach Sabre Junior. He made up a new catchphrase too, which will likely get him no where around here. Rating: D. Yeah, real impressive.

Rene Dupree vs Zach Sabre Volume Two

I like to imagine this is mostly Rene trying to say his catchphrase while Zach beats the snot out of him. Funny how good things happen to people I book to lose. Rating: C-

Ryan Reeves is live on tape delivering a promo about how he is going to destroy everything in the WC.W for fun. Hey, that's my job. Rating: C

Matt Morgan has a music video. I played it here. Rating: D+. Of course it is.

Shelton Benjamin vs Matt Morgan

Matt won, and was the better performer of the two. Not that it makes me feel any better, since this was no better than a Tyrus promo. I will get this guy over, I swear to God. Rating: C-

Final Show Rating: C. Thank you Tyrus and Ryback.

TV Rating : 1.48

Everyone involved complains about the Kraken match, except New Jack. I'm calling it a victory. Backstage is down only one point anyway.

West central Mexico loves us, as well as the Kyushu region. Shame we're in the states, or we'd have made cult by now.

Join us next time, the third best promotion according to the game. But first in our hearts!

Darin Walker · August 12, 2018

Nothing in the news this week, so let's jump right into backstage incidents.

DDP had Shannon Moore in wrestler's court for being late. DDP makes him pay for his partner's travel for the next three shows. Moore's behavior improved, along with the locker room rating. DDP's better at this than I am. Can't have that. So I pulled an elaborate rib on him. Let's pretend I paid Undertaker's wife to go to the locker room and tell him that she's booked to go over him tonight. This went over well too. Ok, DDP's way better at this than I am.

W.CW Live

2536 people had nothing more important to do this evening.

DDP comes out for the usual pre game chat, but Shelton Benjamin is out to ask again about the abduction of Charlie Haas. DDP has some info, but before he can give it, Ryan Reeves comes out of nowhere, clobbers Shelton from behind, and throws DDP over his shoulder before booking it out of the arena through the crowd. Rating: C-. Amatuer kidnapper Ryback is best Ryback.

Dana Brooke vs KENTA

I didn't book an ending to this, so blame the game for Brooke beating KENTA. Although she did learn from the experience. Rating:. The crowd got hotter. I bet they did.

The Devastation Corporation have a promo here, because I don't remember if they're any good or not. Game says they improvise well. Rating: E+. Good for them, I suppose.

Devastation Corporation vs Perry Saturn and Jesus Rodriguez

I really need a deep tag division. DC take the win, as it's not like I was doing anything with these other two anyway except a steady paycheck. Rating: E+

Buff Bagwell is out to tell us he's ready to fight anyone. Rating: E+. I'm ready to give up on his promos.

Stephen King vs Buff Bagwell

Sadly, not the noted writer. So I made him pretend to be the other Stephen King as a gimmick. Buff is apparently not a fan of his prose, and destroys him quickly. Rating: E. Or maybe he saw Maximum Overdrive and exacted revenge for the two hours of his life he lost.

Awesome Kong vs Rene Dupree

Even Jesus outside the ring didn't help, as these two didn't click. I'm beginning to wonder why I keep booking Rene. Awesome Kong wins, though she was off her game too. Great Job, guys. Rating: D-

New Jack is out, on behalf of us all, to congratulate North Dakota Kraken on her recent success. What success, you ask? She's gotten a brand new referee's license. And guess what her first match as official is?

New Jack vs Aja Kong

Special Guest Referee: North Dakota Kraken

There is in all of us a voice. It is a loud voice to some, softer to others. But it always says the same thing, "What happens if I do this?". When this voice is compelling enough, great things can happen. Great good, or great evil. It's this voice that spoke to me as I booked this match, and saw it again. I knew it was there for a long time now. I never really saw any reason to do it though. Except for that voice. The same voice that told me to hire New Jack in the first. So it's fitting that he trigger this moment.

North Dakota Kraken is the referee because she was the only one willing to referee this screwjob match. New Jack wins via fast count in very first screwjob I ever booked. Rating: E+. In a midcard match, no less. And of course they have good chemistry!

The road agent informs me that New Jack was messed up again. So here he rambles through the promo taunting Aja about his stunning victory. Just to rub the salt in a bit deeper. Rating: D. Can't half-ass being a jerk, can I?

Shaul Guerrero vs Steven Richards

But no one was paying attention to this after all those shenanigans. Stevie won, for the record. Rating: E+

Scott Steiner is about to have an interview, when Jay Lethal comes out and beats the crap out him. The rare sighting of a vulnerable Scotty, treasure these moments. Rating: C-

Low-ki vs North Dakota Kraken

More chemistry, of the bad kind. New Jack's tired of it too, and beats up Low-ki, ending the match by DQ. Rating: E+.

A Matt Morgan hype video plays, as I'm going to begin the push in full now. Rating: D+

Matt is with me all the way, as he brings a good promo on. Rating: C+

Tamina vs Matt Morgan

My upper midcard is flooded with females. Tamina had the best momentum of the bunch, so she gets to sacrifice it for the greater good. Matt wins, and gets better at his badass gimmick. Rating: C-. Tamina totally carried him.

Jack Swagger staggers through a promo. This day is full of ups and downs. Rating: C-. Swagger Stagger is fun to say.

Jack Swagger vs Zach Sabre of the Second Kind

You know, for a guy who always loses, Zach keeps bringing the main event quality. Hope it's a trend that continues, because he's losing again. Rating: C-

Final Show Rating: C

Final TV Rating: 1.3

Bet this is going to be a stimulating set of emails.

Aja Kong walked out, of course. She hates the three of us and is also is annoyed at New Jack for being on drugs. No friends around here apparently, as no one else seems to care, except Scott Steiner, who says she can't work a crowd, because we're all jerks around here. Backstage drops sharply to a 36, easily negating all the good work DDP's doing.

So join us next time, and see what else I'm going to blow up next.

Darin Walker · March 18, 2019

I only vaguely remember much about this dynasty and company, but long time followers of mine will likely notice little difference in my booking style anyway. In other news, I booked half this show before coming back to it a short time before, and have no idea what I was even doing here. So let's find out together!

W.C.W. L.i.v.e

I couldn't remember where the period went.

1674 imaginary friends viewed this

One thing I never forget. Start the show with Kevin Nash. He tells us all about the exciting events coming up today that I booked months ago. His memory is clearer than mine. Rating: C

Zach Sabre hypes a match against Awesome Kong. Expect a lot of this while I scramble for some thin storylines to play with next time. Rating: D-. Not good off script. Me neither.

Zach Rapier the Fourth vs Awesome Kong

I got a lot of notes about dangerous spots and intense physicality. Uh-oh. Knowing me, I changed something and forgot about it. Zach won. Rating: D-

Saraya Knight is out here for some contrived reason, and she's jumped by The Boogeyman and dumps a bunch of water one her. That explains the white t-shirt she wore. What in God's name was I up to? Rating: E. Can't imagine why this didn't work.

Stu Bennett's out to discuss his match with Rene Dupree. I'm thinking my roster's too bloated if Dupree's getting work around here. Rating: D

Stu Bennett vs Rene Dupree

I keep wanting to put three Es in Dupreee. And yeah, I must have messed with the product settings; the dangerous spots and physicality notes are back. This is going to be a bad one, folks. Stu won. Rating: D-. Eeeeeeeeeee!

A music video about Scott Steiner. He sings his famous cover of "Take On Me" by Aha. He has a lovely tenor. Rating: C-. Taaaaaaake Meeeeee OOOOOOOOn!

Ryan Reeves is taking on Shelton Benjamin. This is exactly as exciting as Scott Steiner doing eighties songs. Rating: C-. THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE

Shelton Benjamin vs Ryan Reeves

Third e in his last name too, maybe? This is also a weapons match, it seems. Ryan wins, and the match ratings are consistant anyway. Rating: D-. At least I can copy/paste the D- all night.

Kiera Hogan gets into an arguement with KENTA. She decides to win it by putting him through a table. Imagine politics would be more fun if debates ended like that more often. Rating: F+. Hm. Maybe not.

Buff Bagwell is hosting a bikini contest. The contestants are Tamina and Jesus Rodriguez. Because I was apparently drunk and booking again. Tamina wins, shockingly. Rating: E+. Maybe Jesus should have won. Also, this got the crowd hotter. TMI, guys.

Paige is out here to discuss her match with Perry Saturn. I think, anyway, she was kind of awful. Rating: E+. Maybe it was the accent?

Paige vs Perry Saturn

Seventeen minutes later, this finally ends. Paige won, which makes sense since she was the best performer in the match. I find that a bit odd. Rating: E. Not as odd as half this show, though.

Jay Lethal's talking, and I'm wondering if I'm going to pull an E rating for this show. This is what I get for not having New Jack, Raven and the Kraken booked. Rating: D+

Jay Lethal Injection vs Matt Morgan

Three guesses what this was rated? The kind of comeback booking only I can provide, folks. Jay won this one. Rating: D-. And here comes the end show button. Deep breath now...

Final Show Rating: D-

TV Rating: 0.94

YEAH! In other news, I had no storylines at all. Oops #423 this show.

Well, now I can take some time and figure out what in God's name I'm even doing here. A quick check of the product settings shows a strong hardcore influence in the show these days. New Jack and Raven did it, I'm guessing. I also have way to many wrestlers, so I'm firing a bunch. This and general mismanagement brings my backstage to 15%! Probably an increase from my usual.

Join us next time as, uh, stuff happens? I'll get back to you on that when I'm done rereading this again. Thanks for reading!

Good to see this alive again!

One of the things I don't like about this game is the way it doesn't tell you how much you should be changing your Match Intensity and/or Danger level when you adjust your product. What I do whenever I encounter penalties like this (which will hit you in your very first match o the show) is do immediately click the "back" button to go back to the booking screen, adjust the levels, and then restart the show, and keep repeating until I get the levels right. Logically, one should be able to adjust the levels between matches until one finds the right balance that will please the crowd, and since the option isn't available, I don't feel guilty about this "cheating".

The new "on-the-fly booking" function in TEW2020 should help to fix this somewhat, but I do hope that they will give a clearer definition in the Products screen to warn you whether your Intensity/Danger is too high or low before you run your show as well!

Anyway, looking forward for more of this diary. Please don't let this die!

I never got any prompt about needing to change my Intensity or Danger levels when I hit analyse or check product, but I've also never tried resetting the levels to zero. Thank you very much for the tip! EDIT: Do you know whether there is also a to check the levels for a second/third brand to which you assign a specific focus?

The crowd definitely reacts differently to your Intensity/Danger levels (I've tried). And content risk expectations are affected too, at least by certain types of focus (from experiment Risque and Modern focus both drive content risk expectations higher). But at the same time, your match aim requirements don't change at all from your default product. I've yet to find any complete reliable information on how a brand focus changes your show requirements. Either way, thanks for help. And my apologies to Darin Walker for derailing his awesome diary with my personal game questions/complaints. <img alt=":o" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I'll stop now.

I'm shameless. <div style="text-align:center;">-----------</div> I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but we're going to default to my favorite lazy booking method: TOURNAMENT. 16 peeps fighting for the chance to face Scott Steiner for his title. This will give Big Poppa Pump time to recover from his injury, and also let me get a feel for the roster working again. WC.W Live 749 peeps peeped the show Kevin Nash is out to announce the tournament I made mention of before. Except with some actual charisma and stuff. Rating: D+. Maybe not much charisma though. Raven is here to tell us he's going to win his match against Jesus. Thanks there Captain Obvious. Rating: C Raven vs Jesus Rodriguez Also for the AWA Heavyweight title I forgot he had that thing. Raven already told you who's going to win this one, so let's not draw out the match. Evenflow about ninety seconds in. I got a lot of matches, so there's going to be a lot of more squashes than usual. Even for me. Rating: D- Buff Bagwell is out to discuss his match with Jack Swagger. What kind of name is Bagwell anyway? Did his ancestors stack groceries better than most or something? Rating: D-. Paper or plastic? Buff Bagwell vs Jack Swagger I'm not sure how you have bad chemistry in a thirty second squash, but here we are. Swagger lock puts us all out of Buff's misery. Rating: E+ Scott Steiner's out to remind us that Buff Bagwell sucks. As if we needed that after the last match. Rating: C. Never mind, I guess we did need that. North Dakota Kraken is out, and she's not a Jay Lethal fan. In a happy accident, she's facing him next. It's like it was planned that way. Rating: D. Heh, like I plan. Jay Lethal vs North Dakota Kraken Jay Lethal was not happy when I suggested Kraken should win this one. Jay Lethal is clearly not aware how little his happiness matters to me. Or any one's happiness. Except New Jack's of course. Anyway, NDK gets the w-i-n. Rating: D Stu Bennett's turn to complain about Tamina not being worthy of him. Big talk for a guy who puts up a Rating: D-. The Kraken put up a better promo. Stu Bennett vs Tamina I figure if all these chicks have such good momentum, might as well use it for something. Stu wins it, for the aforementioned reasons. Well, not that promo. Rating: D Ryan Reeves is out to tell us about his match with Keira Hogan. He's nervous about it, especially after how I booked that Jay Lethal match. Rating: C-. Well he has a point. Ryan Reeves vs Kiera Hogan I before E in that name. I should have remembered that last paragraph. Ryan wins this one, because too many obvious pushes would be obvious. Obviously. Rating: D Velvet Sky is taking on Zach Swordjokename next, and she talks about it here because I remember her being a decent interview. Rating: D-. I remember wrong. Velvet Sky vs Zach Claymore version 2.1 The match was decent anyway. Maybe I should have given him the promo segment. I'll give him the win instead. Rating: D Kiera Hogan beats up Sheltong Benjaming because I forgot to book him in the tournament, and I need more practice spelling her name. Rating: E-. Oof that rating needs work. New Jack beats up KENTA backstage, because interviews are for sissies. Rating: E-. So are good ratings, it seems. New Jack vs KENTA Hardcore match Match is a bit better, thank God. KENTA is surprisingly cool with being a jobber 'round here. Take lessons, Jay Lethal. New Jack wins, but you knew that. Rating: E KENTA doesn't like being booked in hardcore matches, so New Jack beats him up some more for backtalking me. Rating: E-. That'll learn 'em. Matt Morgan is facing Perry Saturn to wrap up the first round of the tourney. His enjoyment of unscripted promos is less than the crowd's. Rating: E+. THIS IS WHY RAVEN GETS WORK HERE, MATT Matt Morgan vs Perry Saturn Matt wins, and gave Perry a brachial plexopathy. I'm going to pretend I know what that means and hate Matt for doing it. Rating: D. BAD MATT Scott Steiner comes out to remind us that Matt Morgan can't beat him, no matter how many plexes he brachials. That actually sounds like something Scotty would say. Rating: B-. SHOW FRIGGIN SAVED AGAIN Show Rating: C-. I am having Scott's babies, I swear to you. TV Rating: 0.74 The storylines are crap, but that's to be expected in the setup phase. More Scott and Raven will salvage it. Next time: More tournament, featuring... Reeves vs NDK Matt Morgan vs Jack Swagger Stu Bennett vs Raven New Jack vs Velvet Sky Plus all the Scott Steiner I can cram in there. And I cram HARD. See ya then.

This diary is fantastic. I have laughed my arse off.

Quick question, who is your user character? I think I may have missed it.
