christmas_ape Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Didn't see one of these made so as it's the first company I'm playing with thought I'd make one and post my thoughts. They seem to be in as good a position as ever, still dominating the Australian scene and with Swoop signed to a written deal with 5 years left and many promising prospects it's hard to see that changing anytime soon. Will post a bit of a rundown with the roster but one thing that stands out is Swoop's insane contract, keeping in mind the 2nd highest paid wrestler (Maurice Jackson) earns 2700 a show. Swoop is on a staggering 118,300 a month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all about Will Beaumont now though... Oh nice. You just can't get away from those 3 initials can you?! I actually read the endings to your WWE one other night so will definitely be following your future endeavors. Will does look great... but I don't like to reward boyband members who think they're too big for the group. The LiberTeens will prove no one boy is bigger than the band before I'm done with them!

The Nickman Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Since TEW2010 I've always played a game as RAW for my first dive into the game to try and get the hang of any new features, and TEW2020 is no different. From there I always head to Real World mods once I understand how the game plays. Just booked my first show, went ok. Set-up two title matches for next week: Swoop vs Frogue for the TV Title and the RAW Giants vs God's Gift for the Tag Team Titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 So are there any RAW regular bookers out there? What are you thoughts on a TV show only vs a TV show plus a monthly event? In the past I’ve always booked a monthly event at the end of each month, but I think I’m warming to just a weekly tv show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lloyd Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Area Battle is with USPW though right? It's tight after almost two months. There's just one point in it in my save... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really increasing my enjoyment of booking from show to show, whereas with most WWF-type promotions I'm usually just trying to rush through TV to get to the next PPV. This is a nice change, every episode feels like it counts and I try to make each one interesting. That's great! I've gone a slightly different route, and made certain TV episodes special. I think I'll try and make each one special if I can. Maybe give it a 'theme'? I'm not very good at telling one story throughout a show. I prefer to spread a story over a few weeks to build anticipation. But it might be a route I go down too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaded Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Thanks Nickman! Yup, would def be interested in the other 2 shows if you want to share. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 <p>Ok great! For those that are interested, here's my Week 1.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="RAW-Week-1-Jan-2020.png" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/xMHkmBv/RAW-Week-1-Jan-2020.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 <p>Here's Week 2. Not as good as Week 1 score-wise, but still good enough compared to our pop.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="RAW-Week-2-Jan-2020.png" data-src="https://i.ibb.co/pbyvG5D/RAW-Week-2-Jan-2020.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> I'll post the other two in a few minutes. Just at work trying to get a few things done. </p><p> </p><p> EDIT: I've just realised that it's a bit annoying that the game doesn't announce tournament matches, but Jackson vs Wayne and Loxley vs Blake were the first two matches of the 8-man tournament.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Ok, here's Week 3... see if you can pick the mistake I made booking this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 And here's Week 4... we're all up to date! That's my first month done and dusted, and I must say, that was really enjoyable to book. My only major criticism of this card was that I forgot to add an angle where Pinn says Jackson has progressed directly through to the final of the No 1 Contender tournament due to Loxley's accident.
