CornellVerse 2020

[WalterSobchak]

Cornell politics and leverages his star power with Nova to get his hands on the 21CW book and a freshly signed contract for Wolf Hawkins. Tommy pushes Edward to the moon...having him spend most of 2017-2018 feuding over the 21st Century World Championship with Wolf.

[Chisoku]

<p>CGC will likely be closed, or on their last legs. More people will leave them for NOTBPW. ACPW will likely have a very different roster with Atherton, Duvak and potentially the Vipers being picked by bigger companies. BCG should be looking pretty good with their fantastic crop of young talent, Razan will be preparing for his run as the face of the company. I'd like to see WINNOW finally debut, but it'll be tough with Fuyuko Higa lighting up the wrestling world when she becomes one of the best wrestlers (men or women) in the world. Her loyalty to 5SSW could see them really stand a chance at rising to cult, since the insanely talented loyal roster will look to really show what they can do, provided the tsunami didn't hurt them too badly.</p><p> </p><p>

Australia might surprise people, they currently have quite the crop of young talent, tons of insane high flyers and if a company like ACPW were to open up (YWwhatever it's called) they would likely do very well fairly quickly.</p><p> </p><p>

Unfortunately I don't know much about the rest of the world. I generally only play in Canada and Japan!</p>

MAW needs to look very different.

 

Greg Gauge and the Dynamite Express, three of their four best guys in TEW16, should be long gone. Roderick Remus (4) and George Wolfe (5) could also have moved on by then. Wolfe can easily go home to Canada. Remus could have a few options. I could even see SWF snapping up Nate DeMarcus and sending him to RIPW to learn to talk.

 

Other than that, who on that roster do you love? MAW needs some blue-chippers again. We could be looking at Bradley Blaze as the top guy at the start of 2020.

 

Greg Gauge should certainly be gone. In my saves, he always gets picked up between July 2016 and September 2016, usually by a Japanese promotion. The promotions I most envision him in would be either TCW or BHOTWG. If GCG somehow gets to cult, they might sign him up to a written deal right away. Wolfe seems like he's gonna spend a few more years in MAW to improve, but he'll certainly be gone by 2021.

 

Also, I don't really see many people on the current roster being main eventers in MAW once Gauge and Remus leave. Aside from Wolfe, I see perhaps The Architect, Copperhead, and Cameron Jones on top. I have a feeling a number of brand new wrestlers will be a part of MAW, similar to how VWA's entire roster was originally comprised of new characters.

Greg Gauge shouldn't have been there to begin with, it was a total step down for the kid, but made some sense because of storyline. As always with MAW their entire ME should be gone pretty much every release. Their Upper and Mid card is quite young and ready to step in though. Wolfe should be just about ready to go to what's left of CGC or go to BHOTWGs.

[Matt_Black]

I'd like to see WINNOW finally debut, but it'll be tough with Fuyuko Higa lighting up the wrestling world when she becomes one of the best wrestlers (men or women) in the world. Her loyalty to 5SSW could see them really stand a chance at rising to cult, since the insanely talented loyal roster will look to really show what they can do, provided the tsunami didn't hurt them too badly.

 

 

Higa isn't loyal to 5SSW. While it doesn't happen frequently, she will absolutely jump at written offers from USPW or NOTBPW.

 

Anyway, WINNOW will be fine. Remember, both companies are part of the Modern Japan Movement, so WINNOW can just borrow whatever talent they need. (Though if they have the same starting funds they do in 2016, that will get very expensive very quickly.)

[shawn michaels]

I'd like to see more family members. New ones. Everyone knows wrestling is full of nepotism and there should be more important juniors other than Cornell (even more less important ones) set to debut or already debuted. A lot of these wrestlers' sons/daughters would definitely try their hand in the business if this universe was real life. And cousins, and so on. It would also be a way to keep, in some form, some of the iconic figures we played for years through their descendants.

[LoganRodzen]

I want to see what happens with "Operation Lullaby" - if any of the three FBI/IRS agents made it into the SWF roster and if Richard Eisen landed himself in prison. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Jerry inherits SWF. Eric and Jerry have a family feud over the direction of the company. Eric leaves and starts his own company, using money his dad hid away, and running the company much like his dad would (leading many to believe Rich Eisen is calling the shots for the new company in jail). <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

If it happened, I could see Eric tending to go towards a more smark/attitude sports entertainment program, while Jerry would try to sort of change the SWF to save face. He'd probably tone down the risque elements of it and try to put for family friendly stuff in it, but it'd still be sports entertainment (basically, like the PG Sports Entertainment of WWE today). I can imagine Eric running his company into the ground due to his ego and poor business skills, while Jerry runs SWF well, but perhaps further scandals continue to rock the company until it dies.</p>

And TCW as the wrestling product that is the third wheel, but has found its floor with its traditional wrestling product a full ranking system, and some new action figure-centric characters.</p>

[Gtact420]

With the new scheduling mechanic, I hope the MJM blows up. It would be nice to have more touring company. In terms of story, it might be because maybe BHOTWG took one step too far and now fans have jumped ship to more traditional companies like PGHW and BCG. Or maybe a group of athlete/MMA stars joins PGHW pushing them over their style over the moon and the smaller companies follow. Or simply because the companies realise that the MJM was designed to push WLW and has nothing to do develop them. And now they have lost their fans to WLW.

[Sons of Kohral]

Here are my big predictions:

 

MAW is thriving and is the first stop for the majority of above average wrestlers. I see them intentionally remaining small.

 

PSW has either completed the revolution and has a TV deal or they're completely gone. I think that they're going to have a small TV deal but struggling.

 

USPW is basically current WWE, SWF is Ruthless Aggression/ Attitude WWE and TCW is ROH. I think TCW will be solidly Cult, but will have lost almost all of it's stars. SWF will be on an upswing and USPW will still be the #1 promotion but they'll be in trouble and dropping fast.

 

SOTBPW will be gone and Mexico will basically be a power vacuum.

 

BHOTWG will still be number 1. GCG and BCG will either merge or BCG will overtake GCG and GCG will close. I think PGHW dies after the tsunami, but I know it's Adam's favorite company so I'm not sure. WEXXV stays alive defying the odds but is small. WLW takes the slot PGHW was in and is the company that can potentially overtake BHOTWG.

 

Europe and England I don't care about usually.

 

One thing to remember is that, while the CVerse is a reflection of the real world, it has to be crafted to allow people to do different challenges and goals. It's why WEXXV has stuck around (allowing people to play a promotion where they can run japanese death matches), why you had BCG and PGHW resist the Modern Japan Movement (so you can continue running touring promotions), COTT was created (DOTT was so popular and it's fun running an NWA-type alliance), etc.

Which is why I think TCW won't be in as bad of shape. I think they will lose some talent but they will be okay.

 

SWF might be the company in danger. With the FBI-IRS investigation, Eric Eisen going on a power trip, bad booking decisions with Jerry Eisen, under-utilized talent leaving, Jack Bruce retiring to focus on music, and just general instability. They may be the company at cult and losing a lot of resources.

 

USPW will probably be at the cusp of WCW 96-98 levels and possibly gone through a rebranding under Allen Packer.

 

It would be interesting if SWF and TCW are both at cult and the challenge is for one of them to get out of cult. Especially with USPW being a juggernaut and SOTBPW rising or has risen to their level in the US.

Why does it seem like everyone thinks TCW will die? Did people believe that back before TEW 2016? I don't see how they'd die, considering they were just bought out by a large toy company.

 

Also, I don't think all of that would happen. It seems like Adam wouldn't drastically change the Cornellverse in the period of just 4 years. The only area I think might change dramatically would be Japan, considering they suffered badly by that tsunami, and in one of my saves in May 2018 (2 years after the tsunami), they've only gotten back to 63/64 in their industry and economy. Perhaps by 2020 it'll be recovering, but it probably won't be strong.

Yeah, I don't see that either. Even if Champagne Lover goes full time movie making, SOTBPW has plenty of talented guys with Star Quality to pick up the slack (Velocidad immediately comes to mind).

It will certainly be interesting, to one day be running smoothly with lots of money, then losing a ton of it and seeing Richard Eisen go to jail, forcing you to take over the company and try to pull it out of this scandal. If it occurs, I think SWF would be like WWE was in the 90s following the steroid scandal. In real life, WWE started pushing younger and leaner stars.

If so, then I wouldn't be surprised if they quickly put the world title on Spade and pushed him to the moon to try and get him over quickly. Would be interesting if this backfired, like how WWE pushed Roman Reigns down everyone's throats and they started hating him, except it's SWF pushing Spade down our throats as the "New Jack Bruce".</p>

[Dorian]

<p>USPW - Probably going to become the juggernaut of the industry, but also falling into the same trappings as WWE. The product has gotten stale, misused talents and just some really dumb booking decisions. However, I don't think we'll be at the WWE levels of stupid, we'll be just as this all starts happening so that you can turn around and correct it.</p><p> </p><p>

BHOTWG - This is going to be the company that gets everyone interested in Japanese wrestling, but not before the company gets hit with a huge cash of embezzlement/fraud that rocks the company's finances.</p><p> </p><p>

21CW - Cornell's company is just hitting the prime time stage and is looking to make a run on other companies at this stage. The new wrestlers have all made impacts and are must watch TV for 21CW because of it. In terms of firepower, 21CW has the most. Does not have a TV deal outside of the UK/a part of Europe (not sure which part), so continued growth will be hard.</p><p> </p><p>

SOTBPW - They've finally secured a great TV deal in all of NA, however, Champagne Lover has retired leaving a massive hole at the top of the company. You might be able to convince him to come back, but you better be prepared to deal with life without your Lover.</p><p> </p><p>

NOTBPW - Still looking to snag a better TV deal outside of Canada, but after swallowing up CGC, there isn't another major company in Canada who can contend with them right now.</p><p> </p><p>

CZCW - This company is moving on up. It has stolen away some prime stars from other competitors, snagged a prime time US TV deal and is looking on pushing up to the top of the world.</p><p> </p><p>

SWF - Probably split apart by the two sons. One going for the more attitude, one going for the more friendly. Both in a working agreement with the other unless or until something goes wrong. Still with a TV deal, though can either company keep it up is the question (both are on the same channel, one on Monday, one on Thursday).</p><p> </p><p>

TCW - Having fallen and lost quite a bit of talent, TCW continues to thrive as the workrate darlings of the indies and probably is actually more financially successful for doing so than having the big audiences. Does not have a TV deal anymore.</p><p> </p><p>

That's for the guesses from companies I've regularly played.</p><p> </p><p>

I would say though that we're probably going to end up with a lot more new companies as we're probably going to have a wrestling boom right now. I'd probably say each country will have 3 smalls, 1 regional added to the game. I'd also guess that on top of those we'll likely see about 9 female only federations open up (2 in Canada, 2 in US, 2 in Japan, 1 in Mexico, 1 in UK/Europe, 1 in Australia). Just so that you can get in any flavor of female wrestling you'd like in.</p><p> </p><p>

I have no idea how India will play out, so I'm not going to speculate on that. Will say though, it'll be interesting to see how that works out.</p>

[HiPlus]

So I have a general question. I have heard the Operation Lullaby thing a few times but thought it was a joke. Is it an actual thing and whose bios mention it?
