TCW vs. SWF

[shipshirt]

In '05 I had a long running game with SWF and I really enjoyed using a lot of the wrestlers on their roster. When I got '07 I saw some of the changes to TCW and always having wanted to use Tommy Cornell, I figured I would start a game with them. I have to say, other than Tommy, The Machines, Tornado and Wolf Hawkins I really don't like TCW's roster at all. The main event guys are very good but the dropoff in quality is HUGE once you get past the top few matches. Strange, because the more entertainment oriented SWF seems to have the better overall workers. Anyone a devout TCW fan that can teach me the error of my ways and make me see the light with this proud organization?

Think you've just about summed TCW up. Those 5 wrestlers, plus possibly RDJ and Rick Law are about it as far as talent goes, apart from the very raw Aaron Andrews.

Taking a pretty loopsided roster and getting those talented indy guys to turn the fed into something really special.

You forgot Chance Fortune, he singlehandledly is the sole bright spot of the Lower Midcard.

I will say, I find Freddy Huggins fun to work with. Something about the ****y opener always amuses me...I felt the same way with Andre Jones. I always used him as someone who thought WAY too highly of himself and it always ended up biting him in the behind.

Liberty's pretty solid

You can generally get Aaron Andrews over fairly quickly, BLZ Bubb and Liberty have Great chemistry in my game so they put on good matches. I usually grab some of the DAVE guys when their contracts are up, so far ive got The New Wave (Guide & Scout) and Joey Minesota. Being at War with SWF sucks since thier guys wont even negotiate with me even after ive kicked thier butts to D+ overness and they have dropped to Cult size. ( i did however get thier A grade Anouncer after he got fired from cutbacks ) :p

I am liking my game as TCW -- Aaron Andrews dark match (with Gengis Rahn for some training) was a B- overall with the only better match on the card being the Main Event between Tommy Cornell and RDJ at a B.

Another thing if you dont mind spending the money is get a Working agreement with NOTBPW and use BLZ Bubb to get Sean McFly (if he isn't the champ) or even Dan Stone Jnr who is C+ overness and can be used in Main Events

[MaxxHexx]

I always go on an indy stealing spree when I play TCW and then quit because I realize that playing a small promotion with all those indy workers is more fun.

[juggaloninjalee]

As already said try to get McFly to work a couple main events with Cornell for a MOTY canidate. Also build up Andrews, and try to pick up a solid tag team or two. Try and get your promotion over in Canada and then run NOTBPW out of business before targeting SWF. That is the challenge to somehow get above NOTBPW so you can take them over. I say this because it will make it more fun if SWF is somehow still around. Then finally get rid of SWF. After you have done that try and help a USPW, NYCW, or MAW to get up to your level.

Cornell put blocks on wrestlers with less than a B- in Athleticism and Basics so that put the brakes on some of the guys I wanted to get. I did pick up Ultimate Phoenix, Freddie Datsun, American Elemental and Jack Griffiths to shore up the undercard. That edict means I'll be losing all but those top guys mentioned once their contracts end. When you say you "target" someone to put them out of business...what do you do? I've only really played with smaller companies before so this foray into the "bigs" is new for me ;)

for all Liberty is talented he is a f*** off always turns up late on me. RDJ is right now my bread and butter with Mr Cornell. i usually get some rare gems from American Buffalo also
