[QUOTE=mvargus;182188]That sounds like AAA in my current game. In 2.5 years they haven't signed a single wrestler, although there have been a few title changes. And with 5SSW and UCR closed for more than a year there are plenty of lady wrestlers looking for work anywhere they can get it.[/QUOTE] The problem with that is the fact that they CAN'T sign those workers. Most of the 'lady wrestlers' on 5SSW and UCR's rosters aren't available to work in the US (Anna Ki, Jeri Behr, Speedy Marie, Sensational Ogiwara, Thunder Hike, etc). Off the top of my head, only Geena the Warrior Princess and Miss Information from UCR and Otsune Tsumura, June Butler, and Connie Morris from 5SSW can work in the US unless they've 'expressed an interest in working in America' (via internet story). I'm sure if Ogiwara & Hike were available in the US, the big promotions would come knockin'. Besides, as an owner, Anne Stardust is horribly conservative (Roster Turnover: Low) so it's very believable that, unless they fell below their roster minimum, she wouldn't go for adding anyone. Interesting that there hasn't been a title change though (in Adam's game). Wanda Fish is usually a hot commodity, especially given her new booking skills.

At least thats how it ended up working in the game I'm currently playing. I could have hired Thunder Hike and Sensational Ogiwara in March 2009 if I had wanted to, so I'm sure AAA can as well. AAA just seems extremely conservative in hiring. they haven't even talked to Alicia Strong yet.

[QUOTE=D-Lyrium;182273]What's PRIDE been up to? Not one mention of him yet ¬_¬ Being held down by his tag partner I guess.[/QUOTE] Very little that's noteworthy. He's got a very good win\loss record, is an Upper Midcarder bordering on Main Event for PGHW, and has just signed a lengthy contract with them. However, he's also not really done a lot - he's lost every time he's faced someone better than him, and won whenever the person is lower than him. He's like the most blandly booked wrestler anywhere at the moment :p

[QUOTE=Remianen;182650]WHOA! I hope that applies to all unemployed workers.[/QUOTE] I beleive it does.. it's somewhere in the Dev Journal but I don't remember where so just take my word for it. WHat I wished happened though is that once a fed went International it's workers became available in other countries and once it becoems global it's workers were available everywhere.

[B]October 2007[/B] [I]Week 1[/I] - Arata Yasuhiro wins the vacant WLW Tap Out title. - Samoan Machine and Everest beat Ino & Toshusai to win the BHOTWG tag team titles. - Tasuku Iesada picks up a hernia, and so will miss the next two months of action. The upside is that that's only really one month of matches, as INSPIRE don't tour in December. - It's an eventful day for UCR. Byron gets his fourth UCR title, beating Captain Hero. In a shocker, the tag team titles go from Super Falcon and Wonder Boy to...Alpha Female and Anna Ki, who have been teaming as Team Greatness recently. To take the battle of the sexes further, Geena The Warrior Princess and Ali Bloxsome are also reported to be backstage enemies. - Over in MPWF, Atlantis Jr becomes a three time Lucha champion, beating Magnifico. - NYCW champion Whistler rejects a contract extension, and looks to be on his way out. DAVE are the most likely destination. [I]Week 2[/I] - NOTBPW seem to be the first promotion to book Davis Wayne Newton correctly; they seem to be feuding him with Frankie Perez, and they're pulling out some great matches which should help both men rise up the card. - Sgt. Bubba Lee West and Danny Rushmore take the USPW tag team titles, beating Mass Slaughter (Tom E Hawk and American Machine). They'll be known as Team Wrecker from now on. - 21CW sign UCR star Joey Beauchamp. - Marat Khoklov finally makes up his mind about where he's going, and it's to PGHW for a tour. This poses the ultimate question; can Mushashibo drag Marat to an A grade match? - Incidentally, over in GCG, world champion Pistol Pete Hall is having a great time on top, as he's having B and B+ grade matches against a variety of challengers. - Toby Juan Kanobi beats Ruud Van Anger to win the UCR European title. - Yoshimi Mushashibo says he'd like to come to America eventually. It'll take a momentous event to get him out of PGHW, but it'd be cool to see him head to SWF or TCW and have some dream events. - Ex-CZCW booker Shawn Gonzalez beats Dean McWade to win the DAVE Brass Knuckles title. That's his third title reign. - RK Hayes is the man to finally end Sean McFly's NOTBPW Canadian title reign. Sean had 15 successful defences, and multiple A grade matches. Hayes had had several matches against him in the past, but hadn't got about a B grade. - Fox Mask, whose career seems to have stalled in RIPW, chooses to sign an extension. He's obviously hoping that SWF will see his skills, but he may need a change in style to trigger that move. - Julian Watson is taking the opposite decision to Fox Mask; he's leaving SAISHO, wanting to work for bigger promotions again. [I]Week 3[/I] - Silver Shark gets his second WLW Show Stealer title, beating perennial champion The Incredible Koyama. - WLW's resident weirdo Eguchi The Amazing wins the Street Fighting title, beating Haru Kurofuji. - Bulldozer Smith finally gets his TCW debut, and it's a loss to Hell's Bouncer. He got a C- rating out the useless ex-DAVE employee though, which is impressive. - It's the now traditional SWF vs TCW TV plan; SWF do a double title change, TCW respond with an All Action title victory. Steve Gumble gets the latter, beating Freddy Huggins, starting his fourth reign. Over in SWF, Joe Sexy becomes a three-time North American champion, beating Groucho Bling. Joe seems to be stuck at that level though, never quite making it to the main event. The other title change sees Darryl Devine win his first SWF title, the Shooting Star belt, beating Akima Brave. - UK Dragon signs up for the next PGHW tour. - ELPF draw 99 fans to their latest show. Surprisingly, they are not yet in debt, possibly thanks to a strong European scene. Unfortunately that looks like it's about to hit a slump, which could spell bad news for them. - On an otherwise forgettable BHOTWG show, Hell Monkey and Sensational Dragon put on the match of the night. - Nobuhito Ogiwara doesn't seem to have gotten the memo; he's re-signed with WEXXV, where he was one of the original roster. Hopefully he wasn't desparately in need of the work, because I sense his time there may be a lot shorter than he is expecting. - TCW get their first A grade match, and it's Troy Tornado and Tommy Cornell. I think that's the first A grade match outside of NOTBPW and PGHW so far this year. - Bart Biggz career doesn't seem to be going to plan; his big run with DAVE has seen him lose most of his matches so far, including a singles defeat today to the forgotten man of the promotion, Teddy Powell. - Ash Campbell is struggling in USPW; he's 0-2 so far, and one was a loss to Al The Hillbilly of all people. On the plus side, the exposure is boosting his popularity a little. - Possibly because he'll be off to PGHW next month, ROF take their title off UK Dragon, with Petey Barnes being the one to beat him. On the same show, Jonni Dyslexic and K'Lee Hawkins beat Absolutely Flawless for the tag titles. - Rhino Umaga will also be on the next PGHW tour, alongside Marat and UK Dragon. [I]Week 4[/I] - Sayeed Ali drops his 4C Hardcore title to The Wizard Of Ottowa, the guy in the suit of armous, which will do wonders for Ali's image as a bad ass street thug. - Reason #501 why USPW suck; Giant Redwood gets yet another National title run, beating Warlord Pain. - It's a day of change for BHOTWG, as they have a massive three titles swapping hands. Yasonobu Masuno gets the biggest victory, defeating Kinnojo Horri for the BHOTWG title. The Great Hisato proves that his decision to take BHOTWG bookings over WEXXV was very smart, getting his second Junior title belt, beating Elemental II. For the record, it's been nearly nine years since he last held the belt. Finally, Nissho Yuasa seems to be surgically grafted to the Openweight title, as he regains it from Yoshii Shiomi. That's his third time with it. - Bulldozer gets his second TCW match, and it's a loss to Charlie Thatcher this time. Again it's a good match (for Thatcher). What's good is that TCW has such a large viewership for its TV shows that Smith is getting massively over just from getting his face on TV. All he needs is a little more to get from Enhancement Talent to Opener, then he can start getting more regular matches. - Team Greatness, UCR tag team champions who happen to both be women, lose on their first defence. It's to the Evil Henchmen of all people. - Wrestling Machine #2 follows in his partner's footsteps by beating Texas Pete to win the TCW International title. - ELPF bring in Inky The Squid Boy. Well, why not? - Bobby Thomas beats John Maverick to win the CGC Canadian title. The Specialists don't really have much tag team competition at the moment, and aren't the champions at the moment, so he seems as good a choice as any. - WEXXV are apparently the promotion that would not die; they've been given an extra month to come up with the money. That seems somewhat cruel given that they don't have any shows this month. - GCG end their latest tour, which was a big success thanks to Pistol Pete Hall's time as champion. - Tim Westybrook changes to a Brawler style. He's a guy whose hovering just below the main event scene in NOTBPW. - Kanishoki enters wrestling. He'd probably do well in any of the Japanese promotions, and would be a good steal if any of the low-level American feds like MAW could get him. [B]November 2007[/B] [I]Week 1[/I] - PGHW hold a relatively weak version of the annual Elite Tag Team Series, which sees Dread and Bryan Holmes get the victory, beating Eisaku Kunomasu and his surprise partner Sofu Ozawa in the finals. Quite why Kunomasu ended up with such a dreadful partner is anybody's guess, but somehow they managed to overcome Team Toronto and Team Energy (Tatsuko and Sanda), the former winners. - Double title change for NYCW; Black Hat Bailey wins the Empire title off of the departing Whistler, and Coyote Dynamite end their fourth title reign with a loss to Land Mass and The Masked Mauler (now called Decimation). - The freelancer Koshiro Ino, one of BHOTWG's main eventers, is not offered a new contract. He will presumably work solely for PGHW now. - Haru Kurofuji gets his WLW Street Fighting title back, beating Eguchi The Amazing. - In what could be an important time for DAVE, a contract extension has been offered to Big Cat Brandon, their champion. - The UCR tag titles have become hot potatoes; the Evil Henchmen take their turn to drop them, to Geoff Borne and Puffy The Sand Iron Player ("Double Shot"). - SWF announce a new TV show, Crash, is to debut. That takes them up to three, the first promotion to go for that level of exposure. - PGHW fill two titles that had been vacated due to touring wrestlers not returning; Ryoma Muruyama gets the International title, and Joshua Taylor and Masayuki Shiga get the International tag team titles. - WLW star Bairei Yasujiro is picked up by GCG on a verbal agreement. - GCG repeat the trick the next day, with WLW's Silver Shark also coming in. - DAVE get two big re-signings, as Big Cat Brandon and Travis Century both confirm that they are staying put. [I]Week 2[/I] - NOTBPW rise to International level. - Yoshimi Muashashibo, surely the man destined to be wrestling of the year, regains the PGHW Glory Crown from Eisaku Kunomasu, and it is yet another A grade match. That's a record breaking fourth reign for him. - BLZ Bubb's contract is up for renewal; will TCW take the gamble and release him? They have more than enough talent ready to take his place, and along with Texas Pete, he has been killing the main event ratings for months. - CGC are canning Dan DaLay, a former triple crown champion of theirs, as they have not offered him a new contract. Looks like the end for the Elite stable. - Joey Beauchamp and Anna Ki have split up, as have Black Eagle and Raven Nightfall. Not a good day for romance. - Coming toward the end of the year, but we have our first major upset world champion. Steve Frehley falls in defeat to 22 year old Randy Bumfhole. Amazingly, Randy has now captured all three of the biggest SWF titles in just under two years, and has gone from having an average of D American popularity in January 2007 to having A's across the board in November. The crazy thing? He's still improving as a worker! - Haru Kurofuji loses the Street Fighting title, again, this time to Magnum KOBE. - Former WLW champion Dark Eagle has shown up with GCG, with whom he'll be touring next month. - INSPIRE's King Of Fighters changes hands on an absolute stinker of a show, with Arjen Van Den Leyne unseating Billy Russell. It's an upset, as Arjen isn't even a main eventer in the company. - Remo Richardson is apparently looking to go to Japan. BHOTWG would probably love to have him. - So much for BLZ Bubb leaving; he's just beaten Wolf Hawkins for the TCW World title. That's his second time as champion, his first being way back in 1998\1999. - Art Reed is on his way back to Canada; NOTBPW, where he broke in to begin with, have signed him to a written deal. He's stalled in his role as DAVE midcarder, so this might help him get his career back on track. They also bring in two CGC midcarders to written deals, Zeus Maxmillion and Trent Shaffer. - Well that has to hurt; not content with stealing two of their midcarders, NOTBPW have really stuck it to CGC by also stealing one of their best workers, Eddie Chandler, who is also one half of the tag team champions. John Maverick is now the only member of the Elite stable, formerly CGC's big heel threat, to remain with the company. - NYCW apparently have seen that Sgt. Bubba Lee West has been a very good acquisition for USPW, as they sign him too. - As expected, given his world title win, BLZ Bubb signs a new contract with TCW. [I]Week 3[/I] - Koji Kojima becomes a three time champion of his own promotion, beating Awesome Thunder for the belt. - Just noticed something very odd indeed. Apparently I'd missed quite a significant title change back in August. That wasn't a typo earlier, BLZ Bubb did win the TCW title off Wolf Hawkins, apparently he beat Troy Tornado for the belt and I never noticed. That means that Wolf was actually a year younger than Randy Bumfhole in the "youngest world champion" stakes. - Toshinobu Taku beats Torajiro Sekozawa for the SAISHO Destiny title. - Hell Monkey gets a back injury that'll put him out of action for the remainder of the year. - Speedy Marie is now a three-time UCR Female champion, beating Miss Information. - NOTBPW continue their apparent campaign to destory CGC, they've now grabbed Shane Nelson of Youth Energy too. [I]Week 4[/I] - Masayuki Shiga gets a massive back injury that will rule him out of PGHW for eleven months. At 43 years of age and not in great condition to begin with, this may put him into retirement eventually. This also means that the PGHW International tag team titles are vacant yet again, it's getting to the point where PGHW may as well just ditch them entirely. - The former "Pecs", Mikel Alonso, beats Darryl Devine for the Shooting Star title. - Elemental II becomes a seven-time Junior champion in BHOTWG, beating The Great Hisato. He needs one more to tie with Optimus. - TCW re-sign Texas Pete, nobody knows why. - The Natural moves up one level in TCW, getting the International title off Wrestling Machine #2. The Natural is really having a good time in the promotion. - DAVE sign Black Eagle, who could be a mega-star for them if booked right. Although on the flip side, he could also do the same as Remmy Skye and become an inconsistent midcarder. - Yoshimi won't be happy; Bryan Vessey and Mito Miwa notch up an A grade match for PGHW, breaking Mushashibo's vice-like grip on that honour. - There's another A grade match on TCW's final pay-per-view of the month, and it's Ricky Dale Johnson's win over Tommy Cornell that gets it. - BHOTWG and INSPIRE both end their tours. - WEXXV finally go under, after clinging to life support for a seeming eternity. - The five XDW wrestlers enter the game world to begin "The Quest". - The new network schedules are released, and other than SWF's new show, nothing major has changed. [B]December 2007[/B] [I]Week 1[/I] - We're into the final month of the year. Mushashibo seems guaranteed to win wrestler of the year, but promotion of the year is much more open, with TCW, PGHW, NOTBPW and SWF all having fine years. Jeremy Stone and Sean McFly seem to have the match of the year in the bag, while show of the year is probably between one of NOTBPW and PGHW's many B+ efforts. Nobody has yet gotten the mythical A grade event. - The month begins with several title changes; UK Dragon and Joshua Taylor win the PGHW International tag team titles, Melody Cuthill beat Tamara McFly to reclaim the NOTBPW Women's title, and Calamari Kid becomes a three-time Shooting Star champion by defeating Mikel Alonso. - SWF debut their new TV show with a main event showcasing some of their younger talent; the Samoan Wildboyz beat The Amazing Bumfholes. Akima Brave has quietly worked his way up to the upper midcard, and is showing real signs of being a break out star. - OLLIE are about to lose Nicolas Lopez. Not being able to hold onto talent seems to be a lucha disease this year. - Add Marcos Flores to OLLIE's woes, he is off too. - Continuing the lucha theme, Champagne Lover is heading back to WLW for a tour. He's currently not employed in his homeland, and so is earning his money entirely in Japan. - Dean McWade gets a written contract extension with NOTBPW, just like his brother did, and so will be leaving DAVE soon. - The Great Hisato is a surprise signing for INSPIRE. Dark Eagle has been doing well for them recently, so perhaps they are now looking to invest in more high fliers. - Kazuma Narato follows Hisato to INSPIRE. - Jack Griffith, who has been a revelation this year since joining TCW, gets his second International title, beating The Natural. - Mainstream Hernandez and John Maverick win the vacant CGC tag titles. Maverick was one half of the previous champions too. [I]Week 2[/I] - Art Reed debuts for NOTBPW with a win over fellow ex-DAVE wrestler Dallas McWade. - There's an enormous shock on SWF's TV show. No, no title changes - Valiant actually gets a match. He loses to T-Rex. His last match was in July. - Stevie Grayson wins the NYCW Empire title, beating the head booker Black Hat Bailey. - Angry Gilmore gets a third North American title in SWF, beating his sometime tag team partner Joe Sexy. - Julian Watson heads to WLW, having left SAISHO. - Ash Campbell is up to the lower midcard of USPW, and is starting to pick up wins over people like Cheetah Boy. - Shotaro Ikina beats Takayuki 2000 for the GCG Openweight championship. - CGC are struggling after the NOTBPW raids, their cards are very poor at the moment. A lot of the guys who have been elevated to fill the gaps simply aren't good enough. - Acid will be on the next INSPIRE tour. He's had a bit of a poor year with DAVE, having spent a lot of time losing to Jack Giedroyc. [I]Week 3[/I] - Wow, slow down Valiant! He completes his second match in a month, an unheard of amount for him. - Eddie Chandler has settled into NOTBPW quickly, he's already beaten Dark Angel for the Unlimited Action title. The show also has another A grade main event, with Sean McFly and Duane Stone beating Dan and Jeremy Stone. - CGC bring in Joey Minnesota, who has stalled big time in DAVE. - Marat Khoklov is dominating in PGHW, including two wins over Nobuatsu Tatsuko already. His only defeats are in six man tag team action, and he's regularly getting B grades. - Matt Sparrow is on his way back to DAVE, having left them last year. - It's been an odd year for Squeeky McClean. Despite being a big name for SWF, and not being injured or fatigues, he's only completed about 25 matches all year. In comparison, fellow upper midcarder Lobster Warrior is coming up to his 50th bout. - Apparently GCG pair Barry Griffin and Kiminobu Kuroki have had a falling out. - Hidekazu is a name that hasn't been mentioned much. He began the year working the independent scene, and then had a short run with INSPIRE on tour. Since then, he's been working for GCG and is actually now a fully-fledged main eventer for the promotion, and is averaging a B grade per match. - Jin Miyamoto is coming in for a tour with WLW. [I]Week 4[/I] - We enter the final week of the year, after two relatively quiet weeks. - SWF are continuing with the Bumfholes vs Samoan Wildboyz feud, it has been main eventing a lot of shows. It's nice to see something fresh on top, after those dull early months of Runaway Train against Christian Faith. - Reckless Life (Johnny Martin and JD Morgan) beat the New Wave to win the DAVE tag team titles. A new team has been formed on the same show, perhaps setting up future challengers, as Mainstream Hernandez and Citizen X will be called the Sharp Shooters. Hernandez is one half of the CGC tag champions remember. - Crusher Ichihara ends an unusually dull few months for 5SSW by getting her seventh world title, beating Thunder Hike. She is now tied with Sensational Ogiwara for most world title reigns in the company. - Donnie J beats Citizen X in the main event of CZCW's last show of the year to defend his title. He's gone the entire year as champion, and will take it into 2008 now. At 89.4% prestige, he's turned the title into one of the best in wrestling right now. - Hiroaki Nakasawa gets a contract extension from BHOTWG. He's still on course to return in April, assuming the injury doesn't turn out to be retirement-worthy. - Things aren't looking too healthy for ELPF, they're in debt at the moment. As predicted earlier, the slump in Europe is killing them. - GCG are doing a good job of building new stars. As well as Hidekazu, who was mentioned last week, former NOTBPW wrestler Shingen Miyazaki is also now a full main eventer too. The other three men in that position are Pistol Pete, Gakusha and Hyobanshi. - Ikuko Temko of 5SSW's Seek & Destroy team has taken a massive concussion, and is out until the beginning of 2009. Unluckily, that was on the very final show of the year for 5SSW. - Finally someone pulls the trigger; Cameron Vessey is heading to NYCW after a ridiculous twelve months on the independent scene. Given how awful the rest of the roster is, he should have no problem flying up the ranks. - The Lady Killers, Aaron Andrews and Wolf Hawkins, won't be holding the TCW tag team titles into 2008; they drop them to Painful Procedure, who are now three time tag champs. It's probably for the best, as both Wolf and Aaron have bigger fish to fry in the coming year, as both are in contention to unseat BLZ Bubb for the world title. - One last A grade for Mushashibo before New Years, again with Nobuatsu Tatsuko as his opponent. - Dread ends Raymond Diaz's run of twenty successful defences to take the PGHW Historical Japan title off him. Dread's had a pretty fine year in 2007, and will probably take the veteran of the year award. - The final day of the year, and it's far from uneventful. - First, Kuniyoshi Chishu is removed from his position as 5SSW head booker. Although they've gained a small amount of popularity in the past twelve months, it's been far from a banner year for the company. - PGHW end their latest tour, and so Marat Khoklov becomes a free agent again. He had a great run though, and will likely be back. - ELPF get the expected bank warning. - In a shock though, so do Golden Canvas Grappling. They're over $100,000 in debt, and in deep trouble. They have one hope though - Japan is coming out of its slump, which will help attendances. - El Fuerza enters wrestling. - Black Hat Bailey has apparently walked out on NYCW, and that means we have a second booking position available. - Amy Galaxy has found religion.

[QUOTE=Scapino1974;182694]I may have missed this, but who are the five XDW wrestlers and what's "The Quest"?[/QUOTE] Cant recall the wrestlers off hand, but they are in the new workers database (the ones who come into the game down the line). From what I understand from some of their profiles, they were a part of XDW until it collapsed. From there, they have been embarking on a "quest" against each other to be the first signed to a major fed (Could be that they are all just trying to get into a fed or competeing against each other. Can't recall.).

They're a bunch of future workers who decide to move from backyard wrestling into real wrestling. The Quest is basically a race to see who can get a job first. :) It's awesome to see some of the folks who are doing well, like Aaron, Wolf and Randy. But I'm intrigued to see how Marc DuBois done this year. He's got so much talent and yet we've heard nothing about him. Ditto with SUKI over in Japan.

[QUOTE=juggaloninjalee;182688]That is very awesome to see! I wonder if NOTBPW would do as good without Sean McFly.[/QUOTE] I don't think so. While he's not quite as huge an asset (since the Stone boys are pretty dang good themselves, 'cept Edd), I think Sean is to NOTBPW what Thunder Hike is to 5SSW or what an Eddie Peak is to DAVE. I've only played NOTBPW a handful of times but each time I did, Sean had 'pretty good' to 'excellent' chemistry with at least one of the Stone siblings, which made it a lot easier to put on high quality matches (except of course when he had chemistry with Edd but none of the others). I had one game where he pulled off a B rated match......WITH HIS WIFE. :p

[QUOTE=Remianen;182650]WHOA! I hope that applies to all unemployed workers.[/QUOTE] It does. It's not that they choose to work elsewhere merely because their fed closed down, it's just part of the mechanics, and has been since TEW05 (probably in 04 too, actually), that a worker who's been unemployed for ages (including Independant shows) will decide to go to other countries to get work after a certain amount of time. If they'd been picked up by, say, Burning Hammer after Five Star closed, it wouldn't have happened.

There are a handful of women's workers who have the skills to go head to head with the men so there should be no reason they're not signed, in my view. I know one thing. When I go back to my NOTBPW game, I'll be hoping 5SSW goes belly up. Sensational Thunder vs Sean McFly & Jeremy Stone would be money. And those two together are bound to cost less than broken down Dark Angel wants.

There are a handful of women's workers who have the skills to go head to head with the men so there should be no reason they're not signed, in my view. I know one thing. When I go back to my NOTBPW game, I'll be hoping 5SSW goes belly up. Sensational Thunder vs Sean McFly & Jeremy Stone would be money. And those two together are bound to cost less than broken down Dark Angel wants.[/QUOTE] Its not really that the AI discriminates.. its just siming real life as best it can. How many times did you see back in the 90's Aja Kong or Mariko Yoshida take on Kensuke Sasake or Kenta Kobashi? Or any of the million WWE Divas take on Austin or Hogan? Short of intergender tags.. just dosen't happen. Don't blame Adam or TEW.. blame wrestling itself, heh.

[QUOTE=Remianen;182807]If the game discriminates by gender, it's stupid.[/QUOTE] Promotions with no Womens Division (aka, every Japanese promotion other than 5SSW) won't hire female wrestlers (Edit: "won't hire females in a wrestling role"). Maybe women should be allowed to compete with men equally. But they don't. That's why CZW Chick (name escapes me. It's not LuFisto is it?) is so unique. [quote=Thriller]Does the AI do talent trades?[/quote] Nope, I remember Adam answering that one a while back :) Just read the new update.. some crazy stuff happening :D Cameron not being signed for almost the entire year is very surprising though. Did he work any indy shows? Also, what about Carlos Gonzalez? Surely Shawn tried to get his brother a job at some point! How harsh is that?! :p Same with Nemisis not signing HIS OWN SON, despite being the damn booker :p Now THAT is a lack of support from your parents ¬_¬
