I am curious though on how you release wrestlers from contracts

[Hayabusatrash]

How do I even create my character? I'm searching for an hour now but can only select the ones already there.

So much so that I gave her a 2 year contract so no-one would poach her. Turns out the test run was misleading as she’s been poison ever since she arrived. Started 3 fights, bullied someone and has been basically how I remember her. On the plus side I managed to Jippensha and Heart Whatsername and they have excellent team chemistry, which is nice. Jippensha has finally end Quinzel’s year and a half title reign. So I’m fully expecting CWA to grab her.</p>

Thanks! Took me a moment to figure that out lol!!! But man already have over a million as a small company, feel like I’m doing great but I’m still shooting to put on a 75 show and have myself in a 75 match.

[TheEffect]

So I've realized that joining the COTT is amazing, you put yourself as a titleholder you gain massive amounts of overness and skills.

Did you join from the mystery box?

[TheBryanStinberg]

Cause I’ve wanted to join COTT as well but I believe you have to roll from a mystery box in order to have the chance to join an alliance, I might be wrong though...

[lr10540]

What user talents do I have to use?

 

You don't have to use any. The player's handbook (question mark in the top right of most screens) will tell you what each individual user talent does. Generally, you'll want to go big into motivating (if in ring work is important to match grades) and creativity (if your product uses gimmicks) while not neglecting negotiating as you'll have owner restrictions on how much you can offer.

Here goes my 1st attempt, hope I'm doing this right.

Where can I get some alternate render for my character and a logo for the promotion? I'm searching for hours and hours but can't even start.

[TheBryanStinberg]

So I'm onto Year Three, made it to medium size with about $2million in the bank. Things are going alright as I've been trying my best to fight with TCW to keep my top guys which is hurting me a bit having to sign them to huge contracts. Managed to become Most Improved Company of the Year for the second time, as well as earned my first 75 rated match with my wrestler. This year feels like it may be the toughest seeing as I'm pushing towards the big time now...running a weekly television show on both Los Deporte Hoy and OnDem as well as monthly events on those same two broadcasters. Los Deporte offered to give me 100% of revenue which is nice so hopefully I can continue to keep a good amount of income coming in. I'm going to need it when I have to sign more of my stars to written contracts.

I placed 302 in the Power 500 as a rookie. That's pretty sweet!

 

Finally pulled the trigger on a new face of my company. Ernest Youngman has lost 5 total times in my company, and was undefeated since April. 1 of those losses came to my UC at my Grand Prix in January. 2 losses came in triple threat matches in which the third guy took the pin. The other 2 losses came against Sayeed Ali when I debuted him and wanted him to get over big. Then came my season finale, The Warrior's Call. Fro Sure usurped Youngman and took the Ring Warriors Championship from him. Another 8 months and Fro will be my figurehead, and likely still champ as I love long reigns. To Youngman's credit, he took the title from 30 prestige to 37. Hopefully Fro can continue to raise it.

 

As for the company, we've been sitting in the black since May. At the end of December we profited 32.3k and we're matching the production levels of RIPW and CZCW, so I'm really proud of that. That looks like 47.5k per month on top of 9500 per show for production. All in all, we have just shy of 83k in the bank. I'm 1 week away from having a level 5 Merchandise, which should be a huge boon as I'll be making an extra 50 cents per fan, but doubling my mail order from 5 to 10 per fan, and thanks to WrestleWorld, I'm sitting pretty, popularity wise. Speaking of which, I'm boasting 48 pop in South East (home region) with 24/25 in my spillover regions of Mid Atlantic and Mid South. The rest of the continental US ranges from 7 to 12. All regions of Canada are either 13 or 14.

 

Now for our contractual situation. I've got Cali Slick, Davis Wayne Newton and Fro Sure all under written PPAs for 2 yrs, 8 months. Dreadnought and Yuta Isono under written PPAs for 1 year, 8 months, Nelson Callum for 3 yrs, 8 months and my star and true face of my company, Ernest Youngman under a written PPA for just under 8 years. All are exclusive and iron clad. I can see this becoming a problem once house shows come into the equation, but my primary goal was to keep my talent free of raids. Speaking of such, I've lost a couple refs, but in terms of talent, only Frankie Perez has gone to TCW. I lost Logan Wolfsbaine to PSW after an exclusive written PPA was turned down in favor of an exclusive handshake deal from them. So I'll have to wait until the cooldown period ends and I can re-offer him. Hopefully one of the major companies doesn't take him before I can do that.

 

In terms of 2021, the plan is to continue growth. Medium is the new Cult, so I'm concerned how much the monthly fees go up. If it's like before, I'll want to hold myself at small until I have the coffers full. I'd like to get to a bigger broadcaster if at all possible. Past that, just continue to improve and bring better talent onto the roster. I'll look to lock up a couple other talents. Frankie-Boy Fernandes has been pulling really good ratings, but I worry about fighting CZCW for a talent as I don't want to lose another great wrestler like I did with Wolfsbaine. If I can get a PPV deal, that would be incredible. We're getting close to where I may start to book storylines and go week to week instead of just trying to put on excellent cards.

[DirtyPandas]

So I almost immediately altered my plans for Lone Wolf Wrestling. While we're still running the preset monthly event schedule, I decided to add a one hour weekly show to get my growth up. Once I'm able to sign with WrestleWorld, though, I'm going to retire my weekly show and just run my events. I also changed our December event, "Hollyweird", to our season finale.

 

As for our "star", young JP Cope's best match was a 36 triple threat against Christopher Ball and Kirk Drury that he won while being the obvious weak link. With 12 matches under his belt, his average rating is a 27. He also fractured Taylor Kidd's jaw during a match and got heat for the botch. In his 6th match, he won our secondary title, the Wolf Cub championship, and has had a stranglehold on it. Meanwhile on the major title side of things, Acid has been our inaugural Lone Wolf champion, putting on mid-high 40 rated matches. The plan is to open our Season Finale with JP Cope dropping his belt to someone TBA and then defeating Acid in the main event to start his run as LWW's top guy. I find that I book myself a little more selfishly in RtG/LtG games but I guess that's to be expected. We should definitely hit Tiny before the end of this month, April 2020.

 

Currently 30k in debt. I've managed to cut 1k from our losses last month, hopefully that number keeps growing. I've been giving a lot of Hardline Stance speeches. No one has walked out, but I'm getting really close to unlocking Iron Fist already. I might be there already but I've been giving positive speeches at events. We have 4 positive chemestries and only 1 negative so far, which has definitely been a boon for us.

 

*EDIT* I hit Tiny after my very next show and rolled 49. "It's not the size of the dog, it's the size of the fight" You now like fighting from underneath, add "Plays Weasely/Underdog Well" and “Giving Performer” to your attributes.

 

I already had Plays Underdog Well but I suppose Giving Performer could help out. Also just signed to WrestleWorld for a 3 month deal, minimum quality of 20 and with 55% of revenue going to my company. Time to retire our weekly show and see if we can get in the black.

[Bad Collin]

Jeez, you guys are killing it in your first years. I don't think i'm even going to hit Tiny in 2020.

I ran tour shows until April or so. I've chronicled the journey throughout the thread. Immediately jumped to 4 events a month. After a month or two, upped production and got on wrestleworld and started blowing up. I'd also recommend signing your top talent to exclusive iron clads ASAP. Like the moment you start turning a profit, sign talent. There imperative to maintaining rapid growth. I was putting on shows in the low 60s with all my production lacking behind. Now that I'm on par with CZCW and RIPW, my shows are regularly high 60s to low 70s depending on if Fro Sure closes the show or Youngman. I'd also recommend putting main event spotlight for match focus. It makes your main event 90% of your cars rating. I don't need angles for events, so it's all matches with the main event pulling low to mid 70s every time.

[Bad Collin]

I'm in the UK so I don't have a Youngman or Fro to pull those big main events. I am also writing this up as a dynasty so I have been focusing on the storylines rather than just going for ratings.

 

Things are hotting up now though because Wrestleworld expanded to the UK and I need to get the 25 pop ASAP. I've started running weekly events again and I managed to persuade James Diaz to work in the UK so he is getting a mega push. I managed to pay off my debt and save up 10k so i'm hoping that I can make weekly events profitable before I run out of money again.

I haven't played around with trying to make people active in the US. I suppose Cabellero would be the only major one I'd want. Wasnt sure if that was allowed without a roll.

Workers can turn you down so I don't think it's overpowered enough to need to be exclusive to a roll. I just tried a few people and James Diaz is the only one who agreed.

Makes sense. I put 7 in silver tongue hoping I could get Buddy Garner to come out of retirement and work as an occasional wrestler. No dice there. I'm tempted to keep pumping it up to max it out, but despite offering Wolfsbaine 2160 per show for an exclusive written, he turned me down to stick with PSW on an exclusive handshake for a lot less. I wonder if I wouldnt have been better off getting negotiating to near max.
