DirigoJoe Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 (Click Banner To Read Opener!) Hello all! Apologies, I had kind of a start/stop a little bit ago, but I fixed things up and I think I really improved my formatting for shows. I've got a couple in the bag and I'm ready to actually give this a go. (Though I'm still waiting for HTML access! 😅) I love USPW, have since I started playing on TEW 2010. They were the little engine that could, and now they're on their way to being a juggernaut! I've got my sights set on Titanic! Bruce the Giant, Enygma, Tyson Baine and James Justice built this company up, handed Nicky Champion the ball. Now USPW is taking over the world! My user character is Robbie Sanchez. I think he did get treated unfairly in 2018, when he lost the book and it's time to come back. Money has kept the business afloat, and is a decent booker, but he's in a bit over his head as head of USPW creative. Special thanks to @angeldelayette, @christmas_ape, @Eisen-verse and others for inspiring me to write, and try to make the best presentation possible. I may not be an art expert, but teaching taught me a little about how to use Google Slides 😂. ----- I don't know as though I have a strict set of rules for this dynasty but I do want to be as true to USPW as possible. I plan to keep the product family friendly and that extends to signings. I won't hire drug users or locker room problems. I'll only hire guys I think work well for the USPW style. (Death Row might work as a tag team, but their image isn't keeping with the product. Joanna Silver is a solid young worker, but "The pirate of men's pants" isn't gonna fly when grandpa is taking his grandson to a USPW show!) I also don't want to hire anyone who would overshadow Nicky Champion. He's the Figurehead and I need to protect him. Frehley was the perfect addition because he's equal in star quality but not as charismatic or as good a worker. Money too because he's lower in SQ and is older. Four FA signings changed the course of USPW forever, so I shouldn't be too quick to go out and make a ton of signings. I want to build up who I have and who I get from my new performance center! First prediction card will post soon! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling Machine Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Outlaw Wes Revell vs. Julius Moor way higher in the card Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Casey Valentine American Gold vs. Hot Stuff Jillian Jarvis vs. Pariah Kirk Jameson vs. Joss Thompson The Business (Rich Money and Sterling Whitlock) vs. Nicky Champion and Rick Law challengers need a W more, maybe? What do you want to see in this dynasty? I'm curious to see your booking, good luck with this diary! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've basically never played as USPW and so plenty of my favourites (Rich Money, Rick Law for example) I know from their time in other promotions. Maybe Alicia Strong What do you think so far? Looking good, layout is easy to read. I liked the first post about the product, I think often people view family friendly or in general sports entertainment style products to be less exciting but there's a reason USPW are on top and I think that post explained their strengths well. What do you want to see in this dynasty? I really don't know, whatever you find interesting I suppose! Good luck with it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I'd originally written a dialog between Packer and Sanchez, and it kind of sucked. 😂 I decided instead to write my thoughts from Robbie's POV. One of my big problems with modern wrestling is how it can be a spot fest. I hate Strong Style. I don't need to see a guy get kicked in the head for real. It's pro wrestling! Suicide dives never look like they hurt the guy taking it and a not insignificant number of times, the diver's foot catches the ropes and they eat it anyway. A body slam in USPW is a high spot. When Nicky Champion slams you, it drives the air out of your lungs and de-aligns your spine. When Ace Andrews slams you, it is a temporary inconvenience.

DirigoJoe Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 Looking to post the first show on Wednesday (like when American wrestling is supposed to air!) so if you have predictions to make, lmk!

angeldelayette Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Outlaw Wes Revell vs. Julius Moor The Wild One gets the first victory of 2022. The Outlaw still needs some build. Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Casey Valentine This one could go either way depending on if you're going with the starting storylines or not. I got to go with the Cool Hand. American Gold vs. Hot Stuff American Gold are tabbed to win several USPW World Tag Team titles. They get the win here against the guys from 21CW. Jillian Jarvis vs. Pariah Pariah may not have friends, but she has wins. Kirk Jameson vs. Joss Thompson Again, this could go either way depending on if you're going with the starting storylines. But The Complete Package is higher up on the card. The Business (Rich Money and Sterling Whitlock) vs. Nicky Champion and Rick Law Either Whitlock or Law takes the fall. I am guessing Law after interference from Anthony Trask. BONUS: Favorite USPW Worker of All Time? This is a tough one as USPW has been my baby. It's like choosing between my children. Maybe The Force or Bruce The Giant or James Justice? What do you think so far? I think you're doing an excellent job so far. The graphics are better than anything I've ever done. I've never been a huge fan of the whole flipbook thing. But it can be done really well, just like what you're doing. What do you want to see in this dynasty? Rocky Golden signing at the end of the year? Some more tag teams, as USPW doesn't have many tag teams right now, especially in the men's division. I can say that I've looked around the world for more tag teams for USPW. Not a lot of them have popularity in the USA. By the way, thanks for the shoutout. I appreciate it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I will never sign Rocky Golden. (At least I'm pretty sure.) I am going to be careful not to overshadow Nicky Champion, and Golden has more SQ and charisma. Astute on the tag teams. I have a developmental territory with some, but yes, there need to be more. One will be introduced soon. I'll be on the lookout for more. I will say, The Ring Generals are my favorite non USPW team and they're signed for a while! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I can understand not wanting to overshadow Nicky Champion. Though, who knows where he will be at the end of the year. You just never know, right? And I can understand liking the Ring Generals. They are a good, solid tag team. I will give you one tag team I looked at throughout the world. That's the team known as the Nigerian Hit Squad. They're a Permanent Unit and 100 experience. Another signing you might look at would be Antonio Del Veccio. He would be a great addition to the booking team, considering his booking skill is 91. He is who I use as my user character. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharDeeMacDennis Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Outlaw Wes Revell vs. Julius Moor - I think Julius is the bigger name at this point Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Casey Valentine - AI USPW has given Casey the world title in April of 2022 in my SWF save so I'll back him to have a similar trajectory here American Gold vs. Hot Stuff - Their bio suggests big things are in store for them Jillian Jarvis vs. Pariah - I'll go with the bigger name Kirk Jameson vs. Joss Thompson - I'll do the same here The Business (Rich Money and Sterling Whitlock) vs. Nicky Champion and Rick Law - Really could go either way here but I'll go with Champion pinning Whitlock BONUS: Favorite USPW Worker of All Time? - I'm very new to the C-Verse so I don't have one yet but looking forward to discovering my favourite through this diary! What do you think so far? - Liked the opener and just about to check out the starting storylines What do you want to see in this dynasty? - I can't really pinpoint a specific thing but looking forward to seeing how things play out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christmas_ape Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Strong first show, I liked you setting up Frehley as a future threat without having him involved in Nicky's ongoing storyline. Keeping Champion interesting/his threats believable will be the biggest challenge I imagine. I don't know how long his reign has been so far? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping Champion interesting/his threats believable will be the biggest challenge I imagine. I don't know how long his reign has been so far? He beat Frehley for the belt in September, and The Dark Destroyer got sidetracked on chasing it back down in November. USPW's roster is a little thin with Champion and Frehley and then a bunch of upper midcarders. I guess it's like when Randy Orton and John Cena were the only top guys for a while. The good news is, hungry guys like Running Wolf, Julius Moor, Casey Valentine etc are close and Jack Jackson, Roger Cage and maybe a couple others could be built up quick if you wanted to. Maybe some others, but they'd need a lot longer. Plus Joss Thompson and Rich Money are always threats to be title contenders. I want to avoid a "SuperCena" type of deal with Champion, but he's the undisputed top guy right now. It'll be fun to book some chases for the belt.

DirigoJoe Posted September 2 Author Share Posted September 2 Thanks for the kind words about my slideshow format everyone! Also, did anyone follow the hyperlink to American Wrestling's theme song? I'm a sucker for these rock versions of classic patriotic songs 😅 I imagine every PLE (ew, I hate that term, but what else do I call them, they're not PPVs!) has one. Stars, Stripes and Slams has Stars and Stripes Forever etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angeldelayette Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Cheat Sheet: Regular Joe vs. Steve Frehley The Dark Destroyer rolls over Joe. Olympus Order vs. Moor, Jett and Rayne Moor's team is the easy choice. I am going with the non-easy choice. The Olympus Order picks up a cheating win and Zeus makes Moor bend the knee. USPW National Championship Match Funky Fedora vs. Rick Law (C) This one could go either way, but the champ retains. USPW Women's Championship Match Jaime Quine vs. Alina America (C) Another one that could go either way. The Triumverate, though, gets involved and accidentally distracts Quine to give America the victory. Anthony Trask vs. Casey Valentine This one could go either way. Both men are looking for a shot at the USPW National title. I am going with the draw here. The Business (Texas Express and Rich Money) vs. Nicky Champion and American Gold Champion and Gold get the win by disqualification. The Business stand tall at the end of the show. BONUS Thoughts on the presentation? If I am being honest, I've never been a fan of the flipbook presentation. I will continue reading, of course, as you are a great writer. The presentation, overall, though, is excellent and much better than what my own will be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
