Road to Glory 2020

[Chisoku]

Year 2 incoming

 

Immediately started upgrading merchandise in year two, going to hopefully start making some profits with it because I forgot how good it actually is. My bad. Second show of 2021 we had an 81 rated main event between Shiva ©, Kawagishi and Youngman, which Youngman would win. Now to keep him away from Leftie.

 

Saw a death and had to see who has died since the beginning of the game. Ajax the Skullsplitter at 41, Go Amori at 62, Menace to Sobriety at 40, and Teruki Nakayama at 20 years old.

 

Leftie Wilkes poached by CWA, the first poaching in the company. Got Youngman to beat him and it was an 80. He was my most expensive wrestler so that's not the end of the world. Maybe I'll bring in a Flash Savage or Ozzie Golden to replace him. Mid April, Fro Sure and Ernest Youngman are now loyal to me. We're almost in the negatives again but we're also getting close to making money so that's exciting.

 

June 2021 we made 347 dollars which managed to keep us in the positive. Very exciting news.

 

Booked myself in a 78 rated tag team match with me and Kawagishi taking on Youngman and Fro Sure. Rolled a 32 "Chance to Train" allowing me to add +20 points to my fundimentals. I dumped it all into my Psychology

 

Half way through the year we have 14 pop in Ontario and 1001 in the bank.

 

End of September show we pulled off a 75 rated show! Youngman and Kawagishi getting an 88 in the main event and Fro Sure and Wolfsbaine before them, pulling a 79 probably helped a bit. Rolled a 47 "fight Anyone" So we get Plays Badass well and Dynamo.

 

First show of October we hit Tiny. Rolled a 24 "Aerial Assassin", added 5 to my flashiness. Now to see how we continue to grow.

 

Signed a few new wrestlers when we moved to Tiny, including a free agent KC Glenn (In decline at 30, but still pretty bloody good) and Kip Keenan. Also booked in a couple of extra events to try to test out and see how much pop we will be getting capped at now.

 

Mainstream Hernandez won wrestler of the year which I think is cool. I love ACPW and remember him being with them, how far he has come.

End of Year Roll - 6 "Master and Deciple", random roll on my list of people 10+ years on me for a mentor. I rolled a 4 and ended up with Commander Kawagishi.

 

We end the year with 20 pop, I can get 2 per month for sure so I'm going to keep running my 2 events. As soon as I can move to wrestleworld I'll do so. Pretty good second year all around, though now we're getting pay raise requests (although we can afford a few of them right now). Some interesting workers who really stepped it up, such as Shiva who has been great for us this year.

Just grinding forward, nothing really of note. Rolls haven't been the kindest to me. That soft drug user was highly unfortunate, as was the plays realistic well since I already had that from character creation. The end of year roll I think is rather useless as well. I don't think user characters can take MMA fights to get the popularity bonus from them.

[Chisoku]

Year 3 in the books.

 

Just took a look at Ernest Youngman. I know he's loyal to me, but he's not loyal to the company and I can't believe he hasn't been poached. Gonna be tough to keep him around.

 

First event of April we hit 25 pop in ontario and signed on with WrestleWorld for 9 months. Thinking on it now, i should have done 6 but oh well.

Checking in on Leftie Wilkes since he was fighting with a 12 year old fan on Social Media, he has gone 1 and 66 since going to CWA...worth it? Kikkawa at least is getting a lot of work over in Japan with SAISHO. Shiva has started causing issues backstage, and recently had a pay raise so we're going to be releasing him and replacing him with the slightly more expensive Davis Wayne Newton. I'd take this trade any day. Ryan Turner is causing rifts so he might be out too.

 

Dropped some expensive people I had picked up and now we're doing pretty good here in October, as well as being pretty close to hitting Small. It seems like the only real change was to being insignificant, because once I hit Tiny this felt a lot like how these used to feel to me. I know full well that finally getting a 100 rated match is still going to be crazy hard though.

 

Last show of the year we hit Small. We won Most Improved Company and our world champ KC Glenn won Indy Wrestler of the year after having a great 2022. UC also debued on the Power 500 at 418, making him 1 of 5 of my guys to be on there along with Kawagishi (365), Fro Sure (224), Ernest Youngman (207), and of course KC Glenn (173). 3 rolls incoming...

 

41) Runaway Runway - Add Modeling Experience and split 5 between Star Quality and Sex Appeal. All SQ

11) "Legen...wait for it...DAIRY" - Befriend someone in a suit on the roster or hire someone and befriend them and add drinker. I have a few options thanks to King Bison's sweet suit renders, but I've chosen KC Glenn.

39) "The Real Rock n' Rolla" Add Musician and +5 across Charisma and Microphone. I chose all charisma here

 

Pretty good third year. Very happy to hit small and to be in the positives for money at the end. I'm making quite a bit now and could afford to hire slightly more over people, but honestly I think I'm going to focus on who i have for now because we have a pretty good roster and I like who I'm working with. Need to be making a bit more so I can lock some of these guys down with written contracts though.

So couple questions. How are you getting that many people in Power 500 when Small? What product you using? Lastly, why do you do 3 rolls? Is it cause of being in year 3?

[Chisoku]

So couple questions. How are you getting that many people in Power 500 when Small? What product you using? Lastly, why do you do 3 rolls? Is it cause of being in year 3?

 

My product is pure performance, and all those guys are regularly putting on 80 rated matches, also KC Glenn was already popular thanks to being with BHOTWG and Youngman is wrestling for 3 different companies putting on banger matches at all of them. 3 rolls for Year End, Hitting Small, and breaking into the Power 500.

 

I learned how to min/max this challenge back in the 2016 version and at the beginning of this one (though it's still super hard to finish) and even put up a guide for how to do it at some point. I'm not booking anything past what I have too and I'm maximizing my popularity gains while also making sure that I can get the most out of a match with certain people. If you saw my roster it's full of people with high Psychology and all of the important stats (Basics, safety, etc). The rest of the roster is young people for the best potential of growth such as Zippy Deverell and Xander DeColt from the future workers mod.

 

Currently I'm about half way through my next year and now bigger names like Logan Wolfsbaine and Ernest Youngman are getting signed away by TCW. KC Glenn is technically in decline so he will probably be good to stay with me for a while fortunately, and I make sure my good young guys lose enough to keep their popularity low enough that bigger companies won't steal them. It's not super hard once you kind of figure out how momentum and match ratings can be effected and understand where good and bad ratings come from.

 

edit*

I also know this product super well because it's what I book in Japan generally and have completed this challenge with before in 2016 and always use to get it started. Knowing your product really helps!

 

Little small but you can see here what I mean

[Bad Collin]

Good progress Chisoku. I always start my games in the UK so miss out on Youngman etc, I think next time i'll start in the States.

 

I'm still deep into year seven and my owner Lisa Bowen keeps putting obstacles in my path. My owner goals mean that I can't hire anyone from a medium company or higher so I have to make my own stars. Now she just changed the product to classic wild west which seems to be tanking my match ratings.

 

I decided to gauge my progress by booking my UC in a main event on TV against my top guy, Aaron Knight, and the match got 89 even though my overness is 55.

[Tew101]

That’s wild KC Glenn in decline. About time Youngman and Wolfsbaine are signed away! Have there been opportunities to apply to other companies yet?

[Chisoku]

That’s wild KC Glenn in decline. About time Youngman and Wolfsbaine are signed away! Have there been opportunities to apply to other companies yet?

 

I applied to RAW. They said yes. I split my save because I'm enjoying PWE right now. Larry Vessey died and I tried to get in with NYCW when I was tiny but they said no. One of the Mexican companies just had their booker retire too. I'm staying put until I absolutely have to move. Going to a different company means having to regain all of the momentum you currently have as well as the popularity potentially. PWE is about to change product to the same one that CWA uses so we will have a more ideal product to hit that 100 mark.

[Tew101]

RAW would be a very ideal place to end up. A ton of superstars there. In my first save I opened company on India. Two people I brought over were Vortex and Loxley Robbins. They turned out to be amazing hires. I get attached to my user company too and get burnt out after leaving. So I know how you feel glad you saved that separate too.

In my first go at an R2G when the game launched I ended up in RAW and was putting on 99 rated matches consistently as a heel against Swoop and Frogue.

[Chisoku]

We've completed year 4Time to change the schedule. We're going to be doing monthly "PPV" esk events, and otherwise weeklys now that we're making money. Working more means more growth.

First week of February and TCW have finally come in for Ernest Youngman. I applied for the open position to become RAW booker and got it. They're medium. I got the job, I'm going to split the save now and see how it goes, this writeup will continue with PWE because I want to see this out. TCW also picked up a former PWE guy in Logan Wolfsbaine. Not surprising. He's really good.

 

Tommy Cornell left USPW last year, I tried to sign him and it started a bidding war between all the top companies. Same happened with Johnny Bloodstone, but I did manage to sign a few ridiculously good (old) people. Sean McFly, Omar Brown, Harlem Haynes to name a few.

 

Half way through the year I've decided it's time to start changing the product to be more like CWA's so that we can start getting bigger bonuses for gimmicks, this will maximise my chances of getting higher rated matches. Also while running storylines and having big promos we're able to boost match ratings even more.

 

Our first ever written contract has been given to KC Glenn. I'll slowly start locking down my younger stars as well while we continue to make more money. Xander DeColt and Dan Stone III have also ben locked down.

 

Start of October the product change is in effect. It'll be interesting to see how this effects us. It's looking like we're going to be pretty close to Medium when the year ends. I'm trying to see if I can push myself into the top 250 of the Power 500. I've had a good run as champion and a string of pretty good matches with different opponents. I think as soon as I hit Medium I'm going to make a Performance Center and start training myself and a handful of other guys there now that I have everyone I wantt to lock down locked in.

 

It's the end of the year and we did pretty good. In December we apparently made 125k which is great. KC Glenn once again got Indy Wrestler of the year. Apparently ZEN beat me out for most improved company, so good for them. Too many people cracking the Power 500 for me to list but I did come in at 260 which is painfully close to a second roll.

 

Year End Roll - 9 "Keeping it in the Family" Create a younger sibling wrestler

 

Year ends with 690k in the bank so that performance center isn't far out of reach. We have 53 pop in Ontario an, 37 in Quebec and 35 in Manitoba so we're pretty close to Medium as well. Very exciting time for PWE.

[Chisoku]

5th year in the books

 

Stole Diablo Duvak from CWA, this was not cheap but I"m hoping it was worth it. I'm keeping an eye on some of their lower pop youngsters too because if I can steal a Hank Gunn or Robin DaLay I definitly will. Sonny Wildside is also one of the big targets I have, but that's not as realistic.

 

Prime Time Jack Pryde and referee Kesie Lee Walker are having a baby. I'm going to create a wrestler who is that baby and if I play the game long enough, they're going to get to enter the game because that's a fun little thing. Considering opening a developmental territory, but at the same time I have very few people with low enough popularity to actually do so. A brand split might not be a bad idea though, making a developmental brand instead. I think what I'll do is wait until I hit Medium, which isn't far away to do this. I definitly need to open up a Performance Center for extra training.

 

We bought out QPW and moved them to Ontario and renamed them. They were only 3k in debt. Nice cheap child company. Also set up a broadcaster which is small in Canada. Down the line I can sell this if I want too but for now it'll be used until I can get onto something better. The 100% profit is very nice and I can use it for my dev company as well which is big.

 

We hit Medium week 2 of April. Roll inc

37) Snow to an Eskimo - Add 5 to Selling

In a bidding war for Sonny Wildside because apparently CWA doesn't want him but CZCW does. Apparently CWA signed Spencer Spade, that's insane. He was SWF's ace. David Stone is their champ. They're going to be tough when we end up competing against them in national battles. Should have checked to see why they were getting rid of him, Wildside is out for 4 months.

 

Got a 90 rated promo with my UC no script based on Mic with his manager. We're getting to the point where my announcers aren't good enough. KC Glenn has had 2 100 rated promos and I've failed to see how they were booked so I can't replicate them because I've just been autobooking. I did manage to get my first 90 rated match with my UC however in a tag match with All Out Assault (UC and Hank Gunn who have excellent chemistry) vs KC Glenn and Mimic. This results in a roll.

32 - Chance to Train - Add +20 between fundimentals. This is going mostly into my selling, since it's my worst stat. I end up doing 15 to selling and 5 to psychology.

I don't think we count as an indy promotion anymore, so the half year award predictions could be interesting. And nothing for us. Oh well. I was wondering if I could be young wrestler of the year but David Stone still counts so good luck with that. He's only a year older than me. We can almost afford our performance center. Very exciting.

 

Got my first 100 rated promo with my UC. Again I'm not sure how it was booked, but I'll take the roll. Also came super close to a 90 rated show.

 

40 - As Real As It Gets - +5 to menace or Toughness (I chose toughness) and add MMA Fighter, Boxer or Pro Martial Artist. So we are now a model/musician/pro martial artist with a mentor but none of those things matter because we're the user character and none of them effect us. Too bad.

 

At the end of August Kessie Lee Walker gave birth to a little Girl.

 

September week 2 me and KC Glenn put on a 94 rated match which would have been the best match in company history had Diablo Duvak and Mimic not also put on a 94 right before that. What we did get here was our first 90 rated show (with a 93). That's a roll.

39) The REal Rock n' Rolla" - I've already gotten this so I don't get musician again, but I do get +5 to Charisma or Microphone, so we'll take charisma. If I get this again I get to become a famous musician.

 

Beginning of October we open our Performance Center. Time for training. I'm hoping this will finally help my Striking and high flying etc stats, as well as my performance stats because without a mentor to help with those ones it's a giant pain.

 

Halfway through November now. It's 5:20am which is a bad time to be doing something like this because it's really easy to miss things. I really wanted to finish this year before bed but that might not happen. Simming is starting to take a lot of time thanks to all of the generated wrestlers and the new companies that have opened. First day of december in the news I see that I've apparently got a new catchphrase. I didn't actually know that the user character could get these random events so I'm pretty excited about that.

 

It's 6:05am and I managed to finish out the year. Gotta wait for the awards to load but I'm curious to see if I managed to pass David Stone for young wrestler of the year or not...We only got 1 award, manager of the year to 23 year old Lewis Chase, who is KC Glenn's manager and is pretty awesome. I did manage to pick up a few extra rolls though thanks to my current standings on the Power 500, which is 48. That's Going Places for 250, Turn of a Centenary for 100 and A Select Few for 50, plus my year end is 4 rolls, so here we go...

 

29) “The RTG Movement” - Add "Groundswell of Support"

54) Internet Sensation" - Random roll one wrestler in company. They get +10 pop everywhere, company gets +2 everywhere they already have popularity. Joey Fili was the winner of the roll.

34) “So, Tell Me About Your Mother…” +5 Psychology

23) "The Man of 1004 holds!" +5 Technical

 

Considering I already got a 97 rated match, groundswell of support makes it quite likely we're going to be able to get into that 99 spot. We ended the year with just over 9mil after doing upgrades to the broadcaster and performance center at various points. We're ranked 9th in the world apparently. Time for sleep!

[Chisoku]

Year 6 complete (in 2016 I had beat this by now!)

 

It's 2025. Tommy Cornell Jr debuts this year. I'm going to try to steal Ernest Youngman back when his contract comes up and bring him home where he belongs. Apparently I have to wait a couple of years for that...boo.

February week 1 UC and KC Glenn put on a 99 rated match.

53) Step Into The Light - +5 pop across home country

Did a big update to my broadcaster. Big coverage in Canada, Medium in the USA and Mexico, small everywhere else. We start moving to Middleweight from Lightweight. This will increase my Star Power even more, and will likely put it very close to 100.

Tommy Cornell is a free agent again. Time to bidding war and see if we can get him this time. You can tell he's in decline but having him on the roster is still a boon to younger wrestlers and he has the chance to shine up some of the future stars like Will Beaumont and, of course, Calvin King.

 

Hired some people for developmental to pad the numbers down there basically (though a few are young and promising), and Mighty Cavanagh off of free agency. I feel like this is going to be my year for young wrestler of the year. I need that award!

 

Broadcaster upgraded again, Canada is now Very Big and USA is Big. Tommy Cornell has agreed to be a Road Agent and Personality, when his stats begin to really suck he's going to become a General Manager for the company, as well as obviously a road agent because he's amazing at that.

 

TCW have fired Kyle Rhodes as their CEO. Former CZCW referee Pee-Wee Germaine took over as the owner. Bradford Peverell is the new booker. First order of business was to end their association with MAW. I didn't bother applying. We're both Medium and while they have more money, I'd rather stick it out here.

 

Going up to Middleweight made my Star Quality 98. If I become ripped it should hit 100.

 

Half way through the year and I am finally the front runner for Young Wrestler of the Year.

 

September week 1 we hit Big. I wasn't actually paying much attention and didn't realize we were even close to it, but it makes sense with our great shows and our massive broadcaster. Now the thing about this is that I've managed to put on several 99 rated matches with KC Glenn because we have good chemistry fighting one another, but the 100 has evaded us due to lack of storyline heat. I think I might be able to fix this by changing up the storyling and making one with specifically them and one or two other people.

4) Chance Encounter - Make a strong friendship with someone not from your region and make them active and hire them. Jonathan Faust was unemployed, so we've picked him. Hopefully we don't have to fight 21CW for him.

 

David Stone's contract is coming up so we're going to try to snatch him. Edd Stone is in the same boat. The CWA are having some money trouble as well, and we just forced them to jack up their production values. As soon as there's a chance we can buy them out, it's going to happen.

 

We stole Aaron Knight. Big blow to CWA since they already also lost David Stone. Knight vs King seems like it's going to be a great rivalry at the top of the card. Everything is coming together. We're also 1 point of popularity in Hawaii from hitting Large at the beginning of November. Subscription broadcasters are so broken. The snowball effect of money you're making and views to the cost to upgrade is hilarious.

 

I've never seen this happen before but we got a manager come through our Performance Center.

 

Considering creating a face/heel split for next year. EMLL is coming in for my brother for an exclusive written contract...I'm tempted to let him go there just to see how he progresses. It's 18 months, I'm going to let him go.

 

Little Stumble in my plan. King and Knight don't click in singles matches. My personal goal is to not have this finish with a Tag Team match because that's how I finished it last time.

 

There it is, one show into November we hit Large.

39) The Real Rock n' Rolla - This is actually the third time I've gotten this. +5 to Charisma or Mic and I get to become a Famous Musician.

Titanic will take a bit longer since I have only really been upgrading Canada and the USA recently.

 

Steve DeColt has been fired from CWA and obviously removed as CEO. I'm going in for him because he's an insanely good colour commentator. Duane Fry is also up for renewal and if I can get both of them and they end up with good chemistry that would be amazing.

Got them, very happy. They are both the best in the game at what they do, and that's huge when it comes to crafting a perfect match. They'll need to build up experience again, but I'm okay with that.

 

Jeremy Stone is the new Owner and Jack DeColt is the new Booker of CWA. Makes sense to me.

 

One more show to go. I'm predicting I'm now in the top 10 of the Power 500. I opened another child company for my graduates to go to and train, or other rookies I find who I want to sign.

 

End of Year is here. I won Young Wrestler of the Year but I didn't break into the top 10, sitting at 16 overall in the Power 500. One roll and I can go back to sleep!

 

28) I Lost My Smile - Add Personal Issues. Welp. Not getting that 100 any time soon! Hopefully it doesn't last long. Last time I had this I think it lasted a year.

[Bad Collin]

You are making insane progress!

 

Aaron Knight is my big star in my RTG too, I also have Tommy Cornell Jr.

 

How many shows are you booking a year and how do you book them so fast?

[Chisoku]

You are making insane progress!

 

Aaron Knight is my big star in my RTG too, I also have Tommy Cornell Jr.

 

How many shows are you booking a year and how do you book them so fast?

 

60 shows a year. My "tv show" is actually 4 separate monthly events because they're considered more important than weekly so you get full attendance and views instead of the significantly lower amount you'd get for a weekly event or TV show. As for booking I start with the autobooker and then go through and add matches for people left out while also personally making sure UCs match is set up nicely, as well as a few other people. I keep my main event strong, so KC Glenn, Will Beaumont, Mimic, Commander Kawagishi, Diablo Duvak and now Aaron Knight (Zippy Deverell and Prime Time Jack Pryde are also main eventerswho also happen to be the most decorated tag team in company history). I am also now experimenting with my storylines because I keep having the heat drop right before I go into my big matches.

 

I think the biggest reason its so hard to get a 100 rated match is the experience stat. I'm not entirely sure as I don't use the dirt sheet (which is hilarious because I know so much about the meta of this game without using the most useful tool) but I feel like it makes sense. In 2016 it wasn't hard to make a 100 rated match. In this one I've painstakingly found managers that have excellent chemistry with UC and KC Glenn because those two have excellent chemistry as opponents and as long as I can do it before the injuries catch him, im pretty sure I can squeeze a 100 rated match out of KC Glenn with that perfect storm of chemistry and experience.

 

Ultimately I find learning how to game the system easy enough, but I'm still stuck at the 99 wall. I'm not too upset about it though because besides the super long load times now I've been enjoying the challenge a lot more this edition than in 2016 when I would just play Puro and do yearly events every 2 or 3 days as a tour and completely blow through it.

[Bad Collin]

I think the uselessness of weekly shows is a big issue in this version of the game. There is no reason to run weekly shows unless you are role playing.

 

Interesting that you use autobooker too.

 

You might be right about experience but there is more too it as well. I am in my seventh year on my RTG save and there have only been 37 100 rated matches in total. BHOTWG have had 13 99's and no 100 rated match.

 

Keep it up, hopefully you will be the first to beat the challenge!

[merrykieran2]

I planned on doing a post about my involvement with this challenge far earlier but got so invested in my save that I looked up and I was suddenly a week away from Year 3 and I realized that I was going to have a lot to catch up on.

 

My first attempt resulted in failure with the company going bust but it proved to be a great learning curve for me and a good tester for what worked with the company. My wrestler is called Johnny Twilight and while he's not the owner of the company (that is Marco Gonzales) the company is called Twilight Pro Wrestling. In my first run through I made the mistake of not getting my popularity up quick enough. I would take a month off between shows to regen money when I should've been doing weekly shows to get my sponsorship up before levelling things out. The 2nd mistake I made was thinking too small with the wrestlers. While I do want to build up young wrestlers around me, I was focusing too much on guys like Zippy DeVerell and The Silencer as my main talent when for the same price I could get Fro Sure, Davis Wayne Newton, Remmy Skye etc.

 

Thus ensued attempt 2, same company and same wrestler. I took onboard my failures from last time and did weekly shows and with 3 matches a card I kept my roster fresh while building up my character and where I wanted to go. My main event scene from the off was immediately focused upon 3 people and that's the 3 I mentioned above: Fro Sure, Davis Wayne Newton and Remmy Skye. They drove the first year forward and once we started making profit I reached out for other guys to bring in such as the Puerto Rican Boys, The Italian Americans and La Estrella. Davis Wayne Newton was our first dastardly champion and he held that title for over a year and a half before he dropped it to Fro Sure who as of typing is still the champ.

 

My midcard was built a lot around a slowly developing tag division, led forward by the team of Johnny Twilight and Marco Gonzales (yes the owner and booker are multi time champs lol, we carny here). Being in a tag team I think works for me for now to build my skills up and Gonzales works as a good partner to build up stats with as I've always wanted to use him well. They are currently in their 2nd reign as tag champs after winning them back from the Puerto Rican Boys at our first ever "Wrestlemania-Style show" in October.

 

My first roll was for a 50 rated show as Fro Sure and Davis Wayne are money and I rolled a 20 which got me straight Edge and I was buzzed about, incredibly lucky roll to start with

 

My 2nd roll was for a 50 rated match as a fatal 4 way TPW title match against Davis Wayne, Fro and Remmy Skye got us a 51 rating. For that roll I rolled 54 for Internet Sensation which was used on Tony DeWonderful, someone I consider a bit of a pet project in this save.

 

My 3rd and final roll so far was for the 1st year rolling over and I rolled 35, you can dance if you wanna which was another really lucky roll.

 

Idk if I need to post much more like company product or stuff but that's how we're looking as we head into the 3rd year and Im loving this so far

So when starting out, do you make ticket prices free? How many shows you run in first year?

Ticket prices are under business. I haven't figured out the meta but it seems like you can now get 9 exp per year as an insignificant company, but j recommend running 2 shows a month as barebones cheap as you can. By the end of the second year you will be tiny and out of debt if you keep your roster super cheap.

As I mentioned before I have made a roll anmesty an official rule and used mine in September 2026. In October I got my first 90+ match teaming with Edward Cornell against Aaron Knight and Chris Flynn.

 

Here are the remaining achievements for my character after my roll anmesty:

Interesting roll but i'm not sure if the master/protegee relationship works with user characters. Anyway I have 27 eligible mentors on my roster and the pick was...Flying Jimmy Fox.

 

I rolled for legendary event too since most of the TCW PPVs have gone up to legendary status in the year and a half I have been booking them. The Psych boost is very useful.

[Rainmaker]

 

2025 was the year Gold Class Wrestling went BIG. I know I didn't do a re-cap but it was a boring year of grinding from medium to big. 2025 was a year of getting every achievement under the sun and well...

 

[ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED] A True Alternative - Produce an Event Card of 75

Roll - 31. “Hit The Bricks” You live in the gym. +10 to spend on physical skills. (Athleticism, Toughness, Stamina, Power)

Roll - 15. "Painkillers are mankind's way of saying 'just watch me'" Add "Pain Killer Abuser" to your character’s addictions. If you have this already then upgrade to "Heavy Pain Killer Abuser" or "Former Pain Killer Abuser" if previously a Heavy Pain Killer Abuser.

 

[ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED] The Road To Glory - Work for a Big company

Roll - 32. "Chance to Train" You have been offered the chance to train with a Wrestling Legend. Gain +20 points to spend on any Fundamental skill. (Basics, Selling, Consistency, Safety & Psychology)

 

And this is the point I decided that if it's cool with the challenge, that I will be abstaining from future rolls. I feel like Regal Ronald Sampson was already becoming a bit overpowered considering my maturity age seemed to kick in and my entertainment stats went up massively to the point where I'm the best promo in the country and every segment with me talking gets at least a 99. I wanted to take this slowly deliberately, which is why I chose to do a popularity over performance company and I feel like these rolls would more likely make RRS outgrow GCW rather than alongside it. I considered just going with the negative rolls only but I don't think it'd be fair that my reward for achieving stuff would be a punishment. I will still talk about achievements in the end of year recaps but I won't be rolling on them anymore if that's cool. Anyways, onto something more fun...

 

 

I decided to create this as a fun and quick way to sum up the year for the company. I have long considered making a diary with this save as this is the most invested I've been in one in my 9 years of playing. I was thinking of making this as an introduction graphic for the save and linking to this thread in the diary in the hopes of drawing a little traffic and eyes to the challenge other than myself, Colin and Chisoku

 

I would love to know what you guys think of that idea and please give me an update on your saves soon if you can, I do actually read them

2. Use the Quick Skill Creation tool

 

Where do I find it? I'm not seeing one anywhere. For a minute I thought you might mean quick fill but I don't see those options on that either.

 

Found them finally. I was looking on the main part of the character creation page. Possibly due to an excess of stress lately I didn't think to click on the big button labeled "skills".

[Bad Collin]

Best of luck Redwulf!

 

Based on my experience, I do think the quick skill creation method is detrimental to your chances though. It makes such a big difference to be able to put some stats (especially Psych, Selling and one top row stat) up to 75 to start.

[Bad Collin]

I have just finished 2027 and I am still a long way off completing this thing.

 

So far I have..

 

...booked 326 shows

...wrestled 312 matches (203 wins, 109 losses)

...got a highest match rating of 92 (Chris Flynn and Aaron Knight over Glorious George Green and Edward Cornell)

...reached #243 in the Power 500

 

2026 was a great success for TCW, we won company of the year and card of the year for the second year in a row. We are now the second biggest company in the world and are not too far away from hitting Titanic. I do have two big problems; firstly I just can't keep my top guys over, one loss sends their popularity crashing and no amount of great segments brings it back. Secondly my owner changed my product to Classic Wild West which I am finding hard to get great ratings with and I have so many injuries!

 

Here are the remaining achievements for my character after my roll anmesty:

 

Becoming Elite - Earn a Match Grade of 90 or More With Your Wrestler

Turn of A Centenary - Break into the Top 100

A Select Few- Break into the Top 50

Best of the Best- Break into the Top 10

Legendary Event - Have one of your events reach Legendary importance or win the main event of an already legendary show

[unlocked; rolled - 34. “So, Tell Me About Your Mother…” You have devoted your holiday season to training in the ring +5 to your Psychology skill]

Roll for 2027: 15. "Painkillers are mankind's way of saying 'just watch me'" Add "Pain Killer Abuser" to your character’s addictions. If you have this already then upgrade to "Heavy Pain Killer Abuser" or "Former Pain Killer Abuser" if previously a Heavy Pain Killer Abuser.

 

 

On the drugs again! This character is cursed.

 

The chance encounter one is interesting but obviously more powerful in the earlier years. Since I can sign anyone worldwide anyway I decided to pick a holiday destination and take the best worker I could find. I went on holiday to Tokyo and signed up a generated worker called Arata Iijima - he looks like he could be decent.

[Historian]

Starting my first ever real RNG game, with one twist. I'm labelling this as a 'tag team RNG' because I want to make it happen with a tag team. I will be playing as one member of the team with the added rule that I have to hire the other member of the team so they are coming up together. The only change to this would be if the other member of the team gets hired to an exclusive deal somewhere else. Both were created with the RTG rules.

 

User Character: "Precious" Pat Castle

 

Secondary Character/Teammate: "Pretty" Paul Torrence

 

 

As you can see, their team is also given 0 experience and is just formed. I did not give them any relationships with one another -- that will be something that is added through rolls in the course of doing RTG. I just wanted to recreate the team so that it would auto-name them The Midnight Connection when I signed Paul.

 

I'm starting with Southern Championship Wrestling, based in Nashville, Tennessee. The owner of SCW is: The Masked Mauler VI. He gave me the following owner goals:

 

 

I think all of those goals are doable. The only problem is -- I didn't assign an owner in the editor because I wanted the challenge of a random owner. I had signed one member of my starting roster before The Masked Mauler took over, so I have one high flying babyface on the roster.

 

My starting roster is:

 

 

Masked Mauler is a road agent, but I also had asked Ace Youngblood and Jack Griffith to be road agents and both agreed. That way, as we grow, I don't have to hire more road agents if Mauler gets over worked because Ace and Jack can do double duty. Kessie Lee Walker (who is from willr0ck's wonderful Women's expansion) is our only referee. We have no commentators of any kind because we don't have any broadcast deals so we don't need the extra expense. Haley Buck is our only manager -- she is set to manage The Hot Taggs but made add more clients.

 

Let's see how we do! We are starting with a monthly schedule to see how our finances do. I'm going to be booking SCW as close to a classic southern promotion as I can -- which means a lot of the roster will work multiple times on a night. All shows are currently set for 90 minutes.
