Final Rating: C

In his first day back at actually doing something for the promotion, Preston Holt got into yet another incident. The hammer falls, he is getting fired.

My booking reputation is now set to "High". I can leave and start my own promotion whenever I want.

And I may do it really soon. I had a lot of fun with my CGC dynasty, even though it was a disaster from the start. MAW was a success, but boring and CZCW is starting to become boring. I think I need to be running an entertainment-style promotion so that I can run plenty of angles and storylines to keep things interesting for me.

I could just simply change CZCW's product, though. If I were to start my own promotion, it would be very similar to CZCW as far as in-ring product goes. Modern, Daredevil, Pure and Hardcore would all be important aspects (Hardcore being the one not high on importance for CZCW). Just a bit more Entertainment with angles and storylines thrown in.

Silver Shark's contract was up for renegotiation, but he was asking for too much so we'll be saying goodbye to him.

Capitao Brasil signs for $900/PPA to be our road agent. Karl leaving turned out to be good since Brasil is better.

Slowed the lose of money some. Spent a little less than last month on worker costs, about $5000 less. Spent about $30,000 more on Show costs (in a bigger arena now). But made about $35,000 more in tickets and merchandise sales than last month.

....will mean
workers rated more on performance than popularity
attract fans who are not keen on gimmicks
" will not like risky gimmicks

will make it hard to get Afternoon and Early Evening TV slots
also make it so we can't get on any Mainstream network
will make getting sponsorship quite hard
we won't get rocked by industry changes and the 'young lion' system will not be taken into account.


I had started this on "Hard" I think, but it gave me hardly any money and too much, IMO, popularity. So I edited the data to give me $100,000 (for $10,000), but I slashed my Tri-State popularity in half (made it 20%, down from 40%) and eliminated all popularity in the other regions. This made me a Small promotion.

I also waited several months to see if a booking position in a promotion I liked opened up, but it did not. We will be starting in January 1999.

Here is my staff
Announcer: Marty Papin, $500 PPA, C+
Colour: Frank DeLoach, $300 PPA, C
Referee: Bret Graveson, $800 PPA, C
Road Agent: Garrett Damm, $450 PPA, C+

Roster

Main Eventer
Acid - Heel - Cruiserweight - $700 PPA
Wiley Steinway - Face - Brawler - $800 PPA

Upper Midcarder
Hell Monkey - Face - Puroresu - $150 PPA
Mean Jean Cattley - Heel - Technician - $250 PPA

Midcarder
Kashmir Singh - Face - Regular Wrestler - $150 PPA
Chris Perkins - Heel - Cruiserweight - $150 PPA
Primal Rage - Heel - Brawler - $150 PPA
Rolling Johnny Stones - Face - Technician - $500 PPA

Lower Midcarder
Pepper Vein - Cruiserweight - me
Brady Prince - Regular Wrestler - $150 PPA

Opener
Nathan Black - Technician - $150 PPA


My two Main Eventers cost a lot more, but they have the popularity that will be bringing people to my shows. Johnny Stones costs more as well due to his popularity in UK (doesn't do me good but ti was what he demanded) and his skills (which will do me a lot of good).

My shows will be 2 hours long, since I want to get everyone involved in both matches and angles.

The guys who will be good on the mic for angles
Rolling Johnny Stones
Mean Jean Cattley

The list is short. Everyone will be getting a lot of mic time, though. Since we are small, I can afford some crappy angles (as long as they happen earlier in the show) in order to improve their skills.

The people I really want to work on mic skills are: Pepper Vein, Hell Monkey, Acid and Chris Perkins, so expect to see them boring the crowds a lot.

Hell Monkey just entered the wrestling world as I start me fed, so I'm very happy to have gotten him. BHOPTWG happened to grab him too, but only to a PPA contract. Mean Jean works for PPPW and Rolling Johnny Stones works for ROF. Everyone else is working just for me for now.

I tried to get Black Eagle, but he's on tour in Japan right now so I have to wait.

I'm going to start off with a few standard singles fued storylines. I'm thinking Hell Monkey vs. Acid, Mean Jean Cattley vs. Wiley Steinway and Chris Perkins vs. Rolling Johnny Stones.

One last thing, none of my workers have gimmicks. Since the fans aren't keen on them, I decided to get rid of them. I may start putting them back in for a few workers if it helps. Actually, I'm pretty unclear as to how gimmicks affect workers and match ratings.....

[sabotai]

Two more workers. Both Openers

The Black Knight - Heel - $150 PPA
Dario Shelton - Face - $150 PPA

Shelton especially has very good Performance ratings, but nothing else. He should be a very good opener for me.

Maybe I should have started in December instead of waiting until January since I was told I lost Regional Battles in 4 regions, even though I did not hold a card.

The show was a success for my Small fed. Lots of rusty workers.

I had a really hard time filling out 2 hours. I need a larger roster, that's for sure. More lower talent to get beat up by the several "stars" that are in storylines and to be able to make a few filler matches.

[sabotai]

New Faces

Sabbath - A big heavyweight "psychopath" who has ability on the mic. He is rated a C on Mic, Charisma and Acting. Downside is that he has hardly any in-ring ability. E across the board in Performance, D+ in Brawling and Hardcore. I'll have him in dark matches to try and improve his in-ring ability. It may be a few months before I use him. I may use him as a bodyguard-like role in a storyline. $150 PPA

Daniel Cano - Another worker brought over from my year with CZCW. The luchadore worker will start off as a face. $100 PPA + $100 travel

Apprentica Jr. - Heel , another worker from CZCW. $100 PPA + $63 travel

Tate Tyall - Heel - $150 PPA

And I wanted a few more Independent names to help fill the roster.

Eclipse - Yes, another CZCW guy. $800 PPA

Vin Tanner - Hardcore performer who has good Performance ratings. $900 PPA


With several new workers, the roster pushes have been reordered.

Acid and Hell Monkey will become two of my biggest stars. Them having great chemistry makes it so much easier.

Great Lakes Regional Battle: DAVE - NWW - RPW
Mid Atlantic Regional Battle: DAVE - XWF - NWW - RPW
New England Regional Battle: DAVE - PPPW - NEW - NWW - RPW
Tri State Regional Battle: DAVE - PPPW - NYCW - XFW - NEW - NWW

I'm only really concerned with the Tri State Regional Battle, and that's the one I finish last on.

Since it's been over 2 years since I started, here is the state of the wrestling world.

Supreme Wrestling Federation (SWF) is still at Global and the ruler of the wrestling world. Sam Keith defended the SWF title 15 times before losing it to Jim Force (Ultimate Warrior-like worker) in Feb. 1998. Force would defend it 14 times before dropping it to the current champion Mr. Supreme. Mr. Supreme is a 30 year old drunk. He's one of the best when sober, but gets in trouble with the law.

The only National level promotion (no International Level promotions) is Pride Glory Honor Wrestling (PGHW) in Japan. Current champion is 42 year old puroresu Koryusai Kitoaji.

At Cult level, we have 5SSW (All-Female promotion), BHOTWG (Puroresu Japan), CGC (Sports Entertainment - Canada), GCG (Pure Old School - Japan), HGC (Sports Entertainment - US), MPWF (Lucha Libre - Mexico), and NOTBW (Classic Wrestling - Canada).

HGC is the #2 promotion, but seem to be falling. They need C+ Importance in 8 regions to get to National, but only have 4. So far, their cards this year have been disappointing. They had B- popularity throughout the US, but have fallen to C+ in a few regions.

Regional Feds: AAA (Women's Entertainment - US), BBW (Garbage Wrestling - Japan), 4C (Underground Action - Canada), DAVE (Cult Entertainment - US), Hinote Dojo (Tradition Puro - Japan), MOSC (Blood, Beer and Brawling - UK), OLLIE (Lucha Libre - Mexico), PPPW (Traditional - US), RPW (Cutting Edge - US), XFW (Origins of Hardcore - US)

DAVE, PPPW, RPW and XFW are my direct competitors who are Regional.

Small promotions: CWF (Women's - Canada), CZCW (Explosive Action - US), MHW (Hardcore Lucha Libre - Mexico), NEW (Entertainment - US), NWW (Modern Entertainment - US), NYCW (Slow Paced Traditional - US), ROF (Rigan Style - UK), SCCW (Traditional - US)

CZCW fel hard when I left. NEW and NYCW are my Small competitors. SCCW, Southern Class Championship Wrestling, is in the South East. I'm sure we'll eventually be battling each other.

I think I can afford one more "major" start at about $1k a month. Plus, I need a few more lower level faces. I've gotten a bit heel-heavy.

Dan Billot - 19 year old face lower midcarder. Has good Consistency and Selling. $150 PPA

The Guru - 30 years old. Has really good Entertainment and Performance skills, but no worker skills (Brawling, Flying or Technical). Hardly any athleticism or stamina. He's signed for $1k, and will probably just use him more in angle than in matches. He's listed as semi-active.

Benjamin Moore - 22 year old, hardly any skills. $100 PPA

Christopher Hart - 24 years old. Better heel than face, but I need faces. He has A* Sex Appeal and A Star Quality, but hardly any ability except C Athleticism and A Power. May have potential to be a decent worker with draw power. $150 PPA

Lucas Hale - 19 year old. Not much ability, but since he's young he could develop to a decent worker. $100 PPA + $114 travel

Alex Braun - 37 year old face Main Eventer. Good entertainment, good performance, good flying skills. $800 PPA.

Final Rating: E+

Booo! At Perkins and Stones not having chemistry. The storyline wasn't going anywhere anyway and I want to get Braun and The Guru into some kind of storyline so that I can use their Microphone skills. The Perkins vs. Stones storyline will die. Both of their momentums are in the toilet so ending it won't do much harm.

Nice to find an opponent to job to Acid. The problem with Acid is that his momentum is really low. So is Wiley Steinway. Vin Tanner, Alex Braun and Eclipse all have a C momentum. Moving the title over to one of them, and having a 4 man storyline with The Guru thrown in sounds good to me.

Oh crap...Several workers are unavailable since they are working with NEW tonight. Not all that much of a problem, but my referee is working with NEW as well!. Even though he has an F- in Refereeing, I grab my Road Agent and put him in stripes for tonight. This will be bad, but canceling the show will be worse. I'll use workers as road agents. Eclipse has a C+ in Psych, so he's it tonight.

Lesson learned, look ahead and reschedule the card if needed.

Signed Ernest Mason, $1500 PPA ($800 Downside). D Popularity in Tri State. He has great Performance ratings, good Physical ratings and good Technician ratings. Has terrible Entertainment ratings, so he won't be any help there, but he'll put on great matches.

Final Rating: E+

Our attendance keeps going down even though the game keeps telling me that my popularity is increasing. On closer inspection (looking in the editor), this turns out to be wrong. My popularity is dropping. I need shows in the Ds

If it seems odd that I gave Acid the title out of nowhere, it is because I completely forgot about the Major Title reign promise I made him. I had planned on making Acid vs. hell Monkey be a title feud, but like I said, I forgot...

Anyway, I need to start really planning ahead with this. I keep winging it with each card, and it's getting worse. Acid vs. Hell Monkey had the best match so far (D+), so their feud becomes the "for the title" feud. I'll figure out something with everyone else.

Change of Schedule

I am no longer doing monthly shows. I've switched to doing weekly small shows that will be 1 hour long. The goal is to use any talent that cost more than $150 PPA just once per month. Twice if needed for storyline purposes. The plan for each show: 2 matches vs. lower workers (Os-LMs) to give UMs and MEs momentum, a few angles, 1 match involving two M-UM workers, and 1 main event match. I might bleed money for awhile, but I hope it's not too bad. I've been making a few thousand profit each month, so if this backfires, I'll just switch back to monthly shows.

Storyline Status

My short term plan is to run unchained storylines. The plan is to have 4 running storylines, one or two will be advanced each show. This may get expensive, but I need to try something. Finishing last in the regional battles are preventing me from getting bigger.

4 Storylines broken up as: 1 Storyline centered around the title (the one I feel does better will eventually win the storyline - or the one I know will not jump ship to another promotion will win). 1 centered around two other main eventers (if one does badly, he'll get demoted. The one who does better will probably go into a storyline for the title). 1 centered around a main eventer vs. an upper midcarder (if the ME wins, they stay where they are. If the UM wins, they switch roles). And 1 4-man storyline between 2 Upper Midcarders and 2 Midcarders (the two who do the best, regardless of which side wins, will be Upper Midcarders).

With this system, hopefully, the cream rises to the top and I start getting some really good shows/storylines going. Those not in storylines will appear once or twice a month and win squash matches to build momentum.

Current Storylines

NWW Title Storyline: Acid (c) vs. Hell Monkey. Current Heat: D-. Status: Heading into final match

2 Main Eventers: Alex Braun vs. The Guru. Current Heat: E. Status: Evolved from sotryline with the two of them plus Vin Tanner and Eclipse. Expect lots of angles. In fact, this may be one storyline where I'll have both appear at most shows. Expensive, but the two of them are, by far, the best I have at Microphone and overall Entertainment. I have to use that.

1 ME vs. 1 UM: Vin Tanner vs. Wiley Steinway. Current Heat: - Status: Has not begun

2 UM vs. 2 M: Eclipse and Daniel Cano vs. Tate Lyall and CHris Perkins. Current Heat: - Status: Has not begun

A few Signings/Resignings

Daniel Cano - $150 PPA

Spanish Superfly - $1000 PPA + $740 Travel
Plan is to use him in 1 or 2 shows a month as the main event if his match ratings make it worth it. He needs to build momentum.

Pablo Rodriguez - $1500 PPA + $810 Travel
He already has a D popularity in Tri State, but I fear he'll be too expensive. I'll limit him to 1 show per month to keep costs down.

Rolling Johnny Stones is officially gone. Once he heals up, I'll send him another contract.

Apprentica Jr. - $150 PPA

Tate Lyall - $150 PPA

That damn main event.

And with that, the Tanner vs. Steinway storyline ends. In its place, Pablo Rodriguez vs. Ernest Mason. That's going to be an expensive storyline, but things are looking grim and I need to start getting good card results or this thing will be over quickly.

Steinway's momentum is F+. He just has not got any real push. He's out of the picture for awhile. Vin Tanner is at a D+. A few easy wins and he'll be back in a storyline.

Oh well. Spanish Superlfy already has great momentum (for my promotion, C+). He'll step right into the title picture vs. Acid now. Holl Monkey will be used a lot. I have a feeling he won't be with us all that much longer, and while he's cheap ($500 PPA, cheap for the match ratings he brings in), I want to put him in as many matches as possible.

Electrico ended up retiring due to his injuries.

I needed a few more face openers since I was heavy on the heel jobbers. I didn't plan on going after anymore mid-level talent, but happened to see Tornado leave RPW and looked at his skills. Since they were useless in CZCW, I never noticed (or at least remembered) that he has good talent in Entertainment. He'll be useful in angles.

Wow, I spent too much money. And what's worse, despite having cards rated E+, D-, D and D....I still finished last in the Regional Battle. DAVE has a show rated a C, LAW has a TV show and puts on Cs. XFW had 1 card, a D+. PPPW, a C card. NYCW had a B- card.

I'm starting to think that starting off at Regional with $10,000 is actually easier than starting off at Small with $100,000. At least with Regional you get some semi-stars coming to your pomotion.

Anyway, now that I have the right talent and am putting on some matches in the C ratings, I'm going back to monthly shows. If I really pushed to have C rated weekly shows, which I would need to do, I can't even imagine how expensive that would be since I was $22k in the red for D shows.

But it wasn't a total waste. I filtered out some bad workers, signed some good ones. I have several workers now that I am confident will give me C level matches.

I'm losing Hell Monkey and Pablo Rodriguez as they tour with PGHW. I have other people signed who will be touring, but Hell Monkey and Pablo Rodriguez already had 3 contracts when they agreed to the tour, and I'm the odd fed out. Just as I got going....good thing I didn't give Rodriguez the title.

But there's good news. Black Eagle's contract was not renewed by SWF and now he's here in NWW! Sweet!. I'll spend several shows having him beat up people before I will have him fued with Spanish Superfly, most likely. I was hoping to see how he'd do in a Hell Monkey fued, but that's out unless I happen to snag him when his tour is over.

In Storyline news, the Hell Monkey vs. Rodriguez fued immediately was deleted when they left. I also ended the four-way fued with Chris Perkins, Eclipse, Tate Lyall and Daniel Cano. Everyone will keep their current pushes.

Acid vs. Spanish Superfly - Heat D
The plan was to end this, but since I lose Monkey and Rodriguez, this fued will continue on for awhile longer.

Braun, The Guru and Jave - Heat D-
This will also continue. Braun will get the crap kicked out of him a few times before I evolve it to give him help.

Vin Tanner vs. Troy Tornado - Heat (Not Debuted)
They put on a D- match so maybe a few more will get a bit of heat and some better matches.


The Rest....

Faces: Wiley Steinway, Eclipse, Kashmir Singh, Christopher Hart
Heels: Pepper Vain, Primal Rage, Tate Lyall, Mean Jean Cattley

Each worker will face the 4 opponents on the other side. A few are Upper Midcarders (Steinway and Eclipse), the rest are Midcarders. After they all have their 4 matches, The one face and the one heel with the best average match rating will be given "Upper Midcarder" status. The one on each side with the worst will be taken all the way to "Lower Midcarder" The rest will be "Midcarders".

If the demoted workers don't like it, they can leave. Cream always rises. I will keep doing this every 4 months to try to work up the good workers and push down the bad. I'll probably get Lower Midcarders in the mix to give them a way to work up the ladder.

Archangel - $1000 PPA. I'm surprised he didn't ask for $1500, but after setting Main Event and Face, he accepted for the initial offer. He's a Big Heavyweight Regular Wrestler. He has decent skills Brawling and Chain Wrestling. B+ in Power and Toughness. C+ for Stamina. Great Entertainment: B+ Mic, A Charisma. Good Performance skills: Basics B-, Psych C-. Star Quality A*, Menace B+

In other words, amazing worker for my fed, and that he'll be gone in a few months most likely.


Blue Sky: $450 PPA + $382 Travel. Signed to basically replace Hell Monkey. Seems like I'm just redoing my main event scene from CZCW....

The Guru was visibly tiring toward the end.

After the match, Java and The Guru continued to attack Alex Braun, like usual. (E) This time, however, the lights went out and after a few seconds, they came back on to show a menacing figure with a white painted face standing in the ring. Java and The Guru didn't know what to make of it. Java walked up to the newcomer a few times and tried to attack him, but his attacks were thwarted. The Guru and Java left the ring, vowing revenge on the unknown newcomer. (E+)

Final Rating: E+

Alex Braun and The Guru....banned from the main event. At least vs. each other. I may just relegate The Guru to manager status. He has good in ring skills, but he can't last. I guess I can have him fight jobbers, but no more top level matches.

Spanish Superfly was working elsewhere, that is why the lack of a title match. It was originally going to be Acid vs. Superfly, but I had to stick Blue Sky in there. The reason I made Braun vs. Guru the main event after that was because it had more Heat on the Advance Booking screen. My bad.

The menacing figure that showed up was Archangel. For those unfamilair with the C-Verse, basically imagine Crow Sting, but just a white face. His starting gimmick is called "Avenging Angel".

The show starts off with Java coming to the ring. Just as he gets there, Archangel walks out and gets into the ring. Officials hit the ring and try to separate the two monsters. They keep pushing off the officials and staring down each other until The Guru convinces Java to leave and that he'll get what's coming to him later in their match. (D+)

Match: Blue Sky defeated Apprentica Jr in 5:35 by pinfall with a Phoenix Firebird Splash. (E+)
Apprentica Jr was rusty, but that will soon go away once he's got a few more matches under his belt.

Archangel and Java don't click at all!! Noooo!! *sigh*

Great main event though. Hopefully I can get Blue Sky and one more heel into the mix so that I can have alternating main events to keep that title match strong every month. Maybe Java, he has the momentum (C-). Alex Braun also has a C momentum. Blue Sky needs to improve his.

We finished 3rd in the Tri State Regional Battle.

The Black Knight will be leaving. We wanted a bit more than what I was willing to give for a jobber.

We've been shifting back and forth from E- and E Importance in the Tri State region. An E+ gives us Regional status. The good thing about Tri State is that it has 100% Importance, which means once our popularity hits E+, so does our Importance. We're probably still a ways from E+, but I don't want to be constantly shifting between Small and Regional, so once we hit Regional, I need to be ready to make a strong push to give us some breathing room.

It would seem like the world of the SWF has gone completely to hell because they have fallen down to Cult size. Supreme TV was dumped by their UK channel, Canadian channel and Japanese channel. As a result, SWF is only seen in the US now, except one show that is still on in Europe, which they will probably lose soon. Sam Keith, as a result, has been removed as Head Booker.

I'd put my hat in for the job, but their product doesn't fit what I want to do. Mainstream is Key, Traditional and Comedy is Heavy, Cult Medium. That means workers are rated much more on popularity than performance and all workers need proper gimmicks. Not quite my cup of tea. Don't think I'd have too much fun booking a show based more on popularity than talent.
