USPW: Old School Is In Again!

[Ramaeno]

You've got to love Brutus The Bar- I mean Peter Valentine. :) Keep it up bud!

[juggaloninjalee]

Ok I have to replay the game up to this point again.

[B]NEWS!!![/B] Breaking News!!! USPW Left Behind has lost its television deal. USPW American Wrestling will still be on the air but even that is being threatened to come off the air due to low ratings.

[Purple Cowboy]

Ouch... that hurts. I've been following hope you get things turned around!

[juggaloninjalee]

[SIZE="5"][B]NEWS[/B][/SIZE] USPW has posted that someone from TCW will be at the next show. There have been no leaks yet as to who it is but rumor has it that he will do a program with Sean McFly and possibly Bruce the Giant. USPW also is planning on bringing in some other guys for their upcoming tournament called USPW vs the World Cup Tournament held at the new yearly event USPW vs the World. Just three days before that is USPW Red, White, and Blue! These events could hurt each other but they could also be used to promote each other and benefit each other. USPW has gone on a raid around the world for some more workers to debut in this tournament. It could be very good or it could be a total letdown. With nobody being sure who is even in it there is very little hype going into it. The buzz is there and if USPW doesn't capitolize on it now they could be left with a very bad show.

[QUOTE=juggaloninjalee;193250][B][I]Stats:[/I][/B] D Overall(Probably hurt the promotions popularity overall) 2,000 in attendance(sold out) Sam Strong was slightly overused... how could this be? 4.01 rating[/QUOTE] Did you change Sam's push before booking him in the match? Fans don't like to see backstage workers onscreen for very long. Might be a 10 minute onscreen tolerance level for backstage workers. You exceeded it by 43 seconds (which fits the 'slightly' part). One name would largely fix your problems and give you a worker that can actually perform in the ring (besides Sean McFly). That name is Steve Flash. He's old(-er) but MUCH better than 97% of your roster when it comes to in-ring ability. I think if you put the world title on McFly (which seems like a no brainer type move), he can get the best performance (or at least the best ratings) from anyone on your roster. Given your current situation, you don't have time to "build up" to it so just have Bruce drop the title to Sean (maybe in a triple threat or fatal 4-way match including a heel or two for Sean to pin). That way Bruce and whoever can feud in the semi-main event match and Sean can carry whoever to a decent main event match. Alternatively, look for folks with good to great Performance skills (B or better would be my recommendation). Those workers would be more likely to able to squeeze C+ level performances out of your "untouchables". You could also add a women's division but that might just make your men look all the more rickety. Pick up Agent 69, Nadia Snow, Paige Croft, and Alicia Strong and you can have D+ to C- matches from the start. Except for Alicia, those workers work for extremely cheap too ($100-200 per appearance), given the level of performance they're capable of.

[QUOTE][B]Interview with Mike Peters[/B] I = Interviewer I: Thank you Mike Peters for your time. We understand you are the new head booker due to Shane Sneers multiple commitments? MP: Yes sir, that is very true. He has decided to stay on board but he is committed to helping us still. I: That is very interesting. He is a pretty good solid stand up guy then? MP: Yes everyone for the most part is. USPW is just like working somewhere else except everyone has one common goal and that is to put on the best shows they can. I: Ok, so last week was the last USPW American Wrestling on television due to the network taking it off the air. Now just to keep things going you guys have decided to run a weekly show online called USPW Alive. What can we expect? MP: You can pretty much expect it to take the role of USPW American Wrestling. We will use a very similiar format and use it to hype up our big events. I: Thats good to know. So you have two big events coming up but the one I want to discuss is USPW vs The World. We understand on the shirt USPW Alive we will have some qualifier matches for the show. What is next after this tournament? Can we expect anything big? MP: I hope that we always can deliver something big. As for the tournament it was my idea. Sam fully supported me on it and so did some of the other promoters of the promotions. A couple talent trades later and we have ourselves a tournament. I: The thing I love the most is that the USPW World Title is on the line. In this tournament you have Sean McFly, Bruce the Giant, and some other guys. You also could have the belt go to another promotion which could keep USPW in the spotlight. So many ideas could come from this and I really like it. MP: Thank you, and yes the title is on the line. Bruce the Giant feels unstoppable so I forced him to put the title on the line. Sam Strong backed me and we will see how it goes for him. I: Yeah our message forum on the website is exploding with rumors, ideas, controversy, and all of that. Do you guys already have the show booked? MP: Yes we pretty much know how we want it all to unfold but we need to be prepared for an injury or something like that. Hopefully everything goes as planned. I: Ok one last question... how do you enjoy working for Sam Strong? MP: Are you serious? He is a legend and a true professional. I love his ideas most of the time and think he is one of the most loyal men I've ever met. Without him none of this would be possible. He made wrestling what it is today and he also gave me this opportunity and just some electronics manufacturing salesman out of Michigan. I: Very well said... and thank you for your time I know you have a lot of business to attend. MP: It's my priviledge. [/QUOTE] [B][I]OOC:[/B] I did this to explain USPW Alive for everyone. [/I]

[Dragonmack]

Don't feel too bad. After simming 3 months and 10 shows I haven't had a match above a C- with the regular USPW crew and in my NYCW dynasty game, I checked the AI USPW cards and they didnt get a card over a D+ until they started bringing in people like Guide and Mainstream Hernandez and they faced each other after 10 months of game time. Keep the faith and use the older guys for angles and promos instead of matches and it should help get the ratings up.

[B]Personal Confrontation[/B] I was sitting in my new apartment talking on the phone with my girlfriend. The conversations seemed to be going well until... "So when are you going to be coming home to see me?" "I don't know." "That isn't the right answer." "I didn't realize this was trivial pursuit." "No, you are supposed to say as soon as possible or right now I am dropping everything and coming over." "I don't live just an hour away anymore. I can't do that. I will try and book a few matches in Michigan over the next couple months." "This has been the hardest month ever for me. Hasn't it been hard on you, being away from me?" "Yes this has been a really tough month." She didn't realize that I was referring to my month with USPW. "Are you sure? I do not think you miss me." "Of course I miss you honey. I just have been really busy and I'm not too good at my new job." I was still thinking how I was going to turn this thing around and get it going in a positive direction. Apparently while I was thinking about that she said something and I missed it. "Hello? Are you even paying attention to me? I can't do this anymore. You don't miss me. You don't listen or even pay attention to me. I love you but don't call me until you are ready to come home to me. We are done!" She began crying and hung up the phone. I felt my heart drop in my chest. I began to feel a lot of pain and it got hard to breathe. I tried calling her back but it kept going to her voicemail. I knew that we were done. She wanted me to make a choice between her and my dream job. The problem with me choosing the job is that I wasn't sure if it was forever. I knew if I was loyal to her she would stay by me forever. This was tough and even tougher than booking wrestling.

[QUOTE] [B]Guest Article on USPW.com[/B] Hello fans, I have received many questions as to why I attacked Bruce the Giant. I am a former 3-time USPW World Champion and I wasn't even given a chance to represent the USPW in the tournament coming up this month. I knew that if I was not going to be given any chances I needed to make them. So I went after the Giant. So now we have a battle of the giants with the winner going on to the tournament as the USPW World Champion. I will not let this chance pass me by. I am Giant Redwood and it takes a lot to make a Redwood fall. I hope you all enjoy the match and I hope Bruce has a backup plan if he loses, because he will need it.

USPW should consider raising the match danger to 40%.

Sounds like you're in for a tough one my friend

Did you change the product? It's surprising that Family friendly wants more danger.

[B]USPW Meeting Room[/B] As we all began everyone was present. I sat next to Sam Strong who was at the head of the table. Danny sat across from me. Giant Redwood and Bruce the Giant sat to my right and Shane Sneer sat next to Danny Jillefski. Sam began, "fans were wanting more dangerous spots at our last show but this is a family friendly promotion. We will not be changing this. Also USPW is about men settling their differences in the ring and out, not women wrestling. We received a lot of emails and letters about the fans not being happy with the two matches we had that included women. So we need to make the women personalities or managers." I responded, "sir I understand the fans have not been too happy. I am trying to make changes for the better. We have some guys who can do phenomenal high spots once in awhile and other high risk moves. By keeping our product extremely toned down without headspots, high spots, and any hardcore our roster is limited. I do not like to limit my workers." Danny looked at me like I was digging myself into a hole with a smug grin on his face. He spoke up, "look Mike we are abandoning the fans we have by bringing in some of these guys. We needed to grow not clean out what we have and try to fill the holes with juvenile fans." After Danny said that Shane actually stuck up for me. He said, "I agree with what both of you want. Mike is just trying to give the USPW a new feel and modernize it some. You Danny want to book the same matches that the fans have seen for years. I think we need to find a common balance." Sam appeared to agree with Shane, "well lets find a way to give our old fans what they want and also try some new things as well but the women have to go as in ring competitors. Now on to the financials. We have lost almost $200,000 in a month. This would be fine if I felt we were growing but we aren't. My way to solve this is to actually reduce our show to one hour and see how that goes. I also want you to use the guys on written deals as much as possible. Also if these guys are not off my roster in the next couple days then one of you will be off of it in their place!" I looked down at the list he handed out and the name that stood out was Cheetah Boy because we already let him go. A couple guys were still on the roster and I would need to get rid of them myself. Strong stood up and slid his chair in. "That is all I wanted to discuss so carry on with what you were doing before. Oh Danny, Redwood I want you two to go and work on cutting promos. Redwood I really feel that we can make you better than what you are."

[QUOTE][SIZE="4"][B]NEWS[/B][/SIZE] USPW has released Oscar(Lex Appeal), and Patrick Cool due to the lack of quality performances for USPW. Mike issued a statement, "I think both of these guys can be great and I hope they do wonderful things. They just didn't perform up to what we expected here. We wish them the best and hopefully we see them putting on 5 star matches in TCW, or SWF some day." Other names on the chopping block are... April Appleseed, Nene Ebina, Tom E. Hawk, Fox Mask, Eric the Bull, T-Rex, and Des Davids. Also backstage at a recent show Al the Hillbilly told Mainstream Hernandez he would never amount to anything in this business because he is just a young punk.[/QUOTE] [B][I]OOC:[/B] I wasn't going to use Patrick Cool or Lex Appeal anyways so I needed to fire them. I feel like I am learning a lot from this diary and writing it down is helping me learn at a quicker pace.[/I]

Next to go will be the hillbillies after I finish their current storyline with the Towers of Power.

[QUOTE][B][SIZE="5"][COLOR="DarkGreen"]USPW Alive Preview[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B]Sheik Mustafa vs Darryl Devine[/B] This match is between two guys who have not compiled an impressing win loss record. [B]Mainstream Hernandez vs Valentine[/B] Both of these guys are planning on moving up the card in the future and this could be the beginning. Valentine is the defender of USPW as he has beaten everyone from other promotions. [B]Freddie Datsun vs Thomas Morgan[/B] This is a battle of the minds as both men are technical geniuses. [B]Fumihiro Ota vs Steve Flash vs Steven Parker[/B] This could be a really good match as all man are good mat wrestlers. [B]Towers of Power vs Demons of Rage non-title[/B] This should be a good brawl. [B]=O= Jim Force vs Des Davids for the USPW National Title[/B] Des Davids is challenging for the National Title but Jim Force is a freak this could be a surprisingly good match. The Hillbillies have something to say and will be given the chance to say it. Bruce the Giant, Sean McFly, Fox Mask, Giant Redwood, and others will also be there as the USPW returns home! That is right the USPW goes back to the South East and hope to amaze the hometown crowd.[/QUOTE] [B][I]OOC:[/B] I expect a C for this card that I have planned out.[/I]

Many believe that the USPW is on the downfall. Mike Peters is not doing so well and many sources say that the locker room wants him to get fired.
