The HGC Thread

[TheAwesomeZero101]

Since I can't seem to find a HGC thread, I decided to create one so we could discuss HGC in general and any tips, strategies or just general stories about the company.

<p>I love the idea that Peter Michaels starts this company up with the backing of JK Stallings Jr. It gives you a good announcer and ties to the original HGC. After that I do tend to bring in guys like Madman Boon, Genghis Rahn, and if I can Troy Tornado, Donnie J., James Prudence, Rich and Famous, The Ring Generals, Marat, Bulldozer Brandon Smith, and a lot of menacing guys for angles. I also start a women's division giving it one match a show typically until the division is good enough to put on decent matches. </p><p> </p><p>

Then I re-open Babes of Sin City as a female development company and even use the Thunderverse HCG logos for my all male development company.</p><p> </p><p>

Titles include...</p><p>

HGC World Heavyweight</p><p>

HGC Hollywood</p><p>

HGC Cruiserweight</p><p>

HGC Hardcore</p><p>

HGC World Heavyweight Tag Team</p><p>

HGC Cruiserweight Tag Team</p><p> </p><p>

CZCW is a good company to poach for workers to fill out the cruiserweight ranks.</p>
