The match ended shortly as Archangel was destroying The Guru, so The Guru ran out of the ring and refused to return. The referee counted him out. Archangel, slowly and methodically, left the ring and walked after The Guru who took off running when he saw Archangel coming for him. (D-)

A video plays hyping Acid vs. Alex Braun. (E+)

NWW Title Match: Acid defeated Alex Braun in 17:07 by pinfall with an Acid Rain Bomb. Acid makes defence number 1 of his NWW Champion title. (D+)

Final Rating: D

Not a good show. Was told it should increase my popularity, but I will undoubtedly finish last in the Regional Battle and that will take away any gains, and with a D show, end up at a net loss in pop.

Tri State Regional Battle: 4th out of 4

New Signings: (LM and Openers) Matt Sparrow, Shane Nelson and Lee Rivera
New Midcarder: Stevie Grayson.

Grayson just entered the wrestling world, but has Ds in US popularity.

More bad news for SWF. Sean McFly, one of the world's best, left the company. He now works on a PPA basis for CGC.

Also, HGC, the main competitor of SWF, is also falling.

And now, to see who gets promoted and who gets demoted! I give each grade a score. All Fs are 0, E- = 1, E = 2, E+ = 3, D- = 4 and so on.

Wiley Steinway: E, D-, E, D- = 12 / 4 = 3 average
Eclipse: D-, D-, D, E+ = 16 / 4 = 4 average
Kashmir Singh: E+, D, E+, D- = 15 / 4 = 3.75 average
Christopher Hart: D-, F+, E, E = 8 / 4 = 2 average

Mean Jean Cattley: D-, D, D, D- = 18 / 4 = 4.5 average
Primal Rage: D-, D-, E, D- = 14 / 4 = 3.5 average
Tate Lyall: E+, F+, E, E+ = 8 / 4 = 2 average
Pepper Vain: E, D-, E+, E = 11 / 4 = 2.75 average

Upper Midcarders: Eclipse and Mean Jean Cattley
Midcarders: Wiley Steinway, Kashmir Singh, Primal Rage, Pepper Vain
Lower Midcarders: Christoper Hart and Tate Lyall

Will wait a few months before starting another batch of 8. In the mean time, I need to get Mean Jean Cattley and Eclipse into the second half of shows.

Venue: The Weston Gymnasium (300 Att)

The Guru and Java had an interview hyping their upcoming tag match with Alex Braun and Archangel. (E)

Match: Primal Rage defeated Lucas Hale in 8:55 by pinfall with a Wake Up Call. (F+)

NWW Title Match: Acid defeated Spanish Superfly in 23:37 by pinfall with an Acid Rain Bomb. Acid makes defence number 2 of his NWW Champion title. (C)

Final Rating: D+

Rolling Johnny Stones is back from injury. He'll probably be in the next batch of 8 who fight for promotion.

I am now down with the Braun/Archangel vs Java/The Guru storyline. That just didn't work out like I'd hope. Archangel and Java not having chemistry in the ring was a real killer, as is The Guru's lack of stamina. I'll probably let The Guru go. Need to put on good matches in this promotion, and despite his in ring Performance talent, he hasn't lived up. Alex Braun is close to being let go as well.

Java....not sure what to do with him. I need to see how Archangel does against the other workers, but he'll be getting plenty of matches in the next several weeks. His Momentum is in the toilet right now, but if it improves, I'll be throwing him into the title picture.

Tate Lyall is giving me crap about his push. Not only is he not that good, he has no popularity here. He's E- in South West, but F in Tri State. I terminate his contract.

Also cleaned a bit of house and terminated the contract of Apprentica Jr., Lucas Hale, Wiley Steinway and The Guru. Alex Braun is leaving us as he signed with a 4th promotion and we are the odd fed out....again. Not a big deal, he hasn't really done much.

Signed new worker John Greed to $150 PPA, Heel Lower Midcarder, a Lightweight Cruiserweight who already has Flying skills and Entertainment ability, but needs work on his Performance ratings.

Spanish Superfly is improving in Technical skills. Blue Sky is improving in Rumble skills.

Final Rating: D-

Got a message that I need more storylines. First I need to end the Acid vs. Spanish Superly storyline soon. It's been going on long enough and I need to find a new opponent for Superfly. I think Acid's reigns as champion are over. He's a great worker and puts on great matches, and will continue to get title matches to ensure good main events, but he has no Entertainment skills at all (neither does Superfly, though. ). Superfly gets the nod to keep the title since he has better in ring skills than Acid.

Blue Sky does have some Entertainment skills, so he'll be getting a push. As does Archangel, but he needs some momentum work. Blue Sky is at a D-, which is low, but Archangel is at E-, so it's going to be some time before he gets a real Main Event push.

Looking over the possible choices, Java, Vin Tanner and Mean Jean Cattley seem to be the only real options. Java has the same problem as Acid, no Entertainment skills. But he does have a high Menace rating, so I can use that for angles. Vin Tanner could be an option for a brief Storyline, but his only "angle" skill is Acting. He has a C+ in Menace....

And then there's Mean Jean Cattley, who I really want to give a title push to. He doesn't stand out in any one area, he's just a good all around worker. C-A Performance ratings, Cs Technical skills, Cs Entertainment skills.

I think I'll have a few months of Spanish Superfly beating a few of the other heels while Mean Jean starts getting big wins over other UM and MEs to give his Momentum (currently D) a bit more of a boost and then set him up with a hopefully long fued with Spanish Superfly while I have Blue Sky and Acid fued as the set up to title matches on most cards.

And then I need to find a 3rd storyline somewhere. Possibly Archangel vs Vin Tanner or Primal Rage.

Good card. Great main event. Krause puts on a D+ with Archangel with no momentum so they should be able to put up C- or matches if I build them both up some. Cattley and Eclipse could become good opponents for each other too.

Too Hot signed for $100 PPA. Lightweight Entertainer. He's young but has potential.

American Elemental signed for $150 PPA. He just entered the wrestling world and will be a damn good worker.

Signed Adam Matravers for $150 PPA + $50 travel. High flying opener.

Hell Monkey is finally back. He finished up in Japan and we had to wait awhile (6 months) before he'd sign with us again. $700 PPA. Pablo Rodriguez upgraded to a written deal with GCG, so we couldn't bring him back.

We finished last in the Tri State Regional Battle.

I feel like things might be coming together for my promotion now, despite the D card I just put on. Which means my roster will probably get blown up unless I can get to Regional and get on TV. I need to get more popular than my competitors (that aren't all the much bigger/more popular than I am now) so that my workers stop leaving me for them, or at least, start prioritizing my promotion over the others.

Looking over my roster, I see about 4 or 5 faces that can take turns being in the main event picture. Hell Monkey and Spanish Superfly will be the top faces for the most part, with Blue Sky, Eclipse and American Elemental getting in there. Rolling Johnny Stones and Stevie Grayson have potential. As for the bigger guys, Archangel isn't sky rocketed up like I thought, and Whistler will probably bring people in with how popular in the Tri State region he is.

On the heel side, it's a little more slim. Acid has been the steady mean event heel. Mean Jean Cattley is ready. Sabastian Krause and Vin Tanner do good. Java...not sure about. Primal Rage and John Greed could have some potential. I could really use Black Eagle right now...still have a wait a bit before I can bring him back. He's signed to 3 promotions right now.

Signed Joss Thompson - $300 PPA - Young worker with good Entertainment skills and good potential.

Tough Decisions

I think part of my problem is that not enough workers get seen enough, and that includes the jobbers.

Gregg Boone, Rex Reeves, Dario Shelton, Dan Billot, Benjamin Moore, Troy Tornado, Vin Tanner and Java have all been let go. I'll be making a few more round of cuts soon. I need to cut my roster down to where 80%+ of my roster is on every show, not half. Whistler has also left after signing a written deal with SWF.

The booker position for HGC is open, but for the same reasons as to why I didn't go after the SWF position when it was available, I do not go after this one.

Ana Garcia - $600 PPA - female manager

Benson Crane - $400 PPA - Good skills all around, but not popular. Will try to develop him into a top worker.

Ryan Powell - $100 PPA - Decent all around skills. Will do good as a Lower Midcarder.

Queen Emily - $50 PPA - female manager

Joey Minnestoa - $600 PPA + ~$200 travel - 17 years old, just entered the wrestling world. Already has great Performance skills, but lacks Entertainment ability. Maybe a manager will help with that.

I've also went and offered Worker Agreements with all other promotions in the US that are Regional or smaller. All accepted except for PPPW and RPW. This will let me to a talent trade. Now I'll be able to try out possible new signings if they are signed with another Regional or Small promotion. Plus, if one of them "makes it big", they won't be able to steal my talent.

It may seem a little boring, but having Acid, Hell Monkey, Spanish Superfly and Plague just keep rotating in the Main Event and the lead in match is what I'll probably keep doing until I build up my other workers. Having those last two matches be a C- or better is just too important.

Still looking for some tag prospects. Acid and Plague are too important to the main event right now to take them out and use them as a tag team. I'm going to keep tagging random workers up until I find a few teams that have good chemistry.

I agree until you have one of the problems of trying to grow a small promotion. If you don't use your top 4 guys in the last 2 matches throw in regional battles and you can actually lose popularity with a decent show.

Worker Status

Momentum
Plague C-
Hell Monkey D+
Acid D+
Eclipse D
Spanish Superfly D
Joey Minnesota D

And then down from there. Minnesota has shot up the momentum ladder, and oddly Eclipse is hanging on despite me not doing much with him. I wonder how Joey Minnesota would do with more of a push. Perhaps vs. Hell Monkey to see how he fares. Both have Brawling and Technical skills so it may make for a good match.

Popularity in Tri State (in alphabetical order - with most Openers to Midcarders left off)
Acid D-
Blue Sky E
Bret Biggz E-
Eclipse E+
Hell Monkey D-
Joe Sexy E
Joey Minnesota E-
Matt Sparrow E-
Mean Jean Cattley E
Plague D
Primal Rage E
Rolling Johnny Stones F+
Spanish Superfly E+

I've been trying to improve Stones' popularity but he's stuck at F+. He's a really good worker and if he'd gain some popularity, I know I'd get some really good matches from him.

New Workers

I went out and spent money. I brought in a few popular workers to try to get us over the hump and into steady C shows.

Genghis Rhan - $1500 PPA + $700 downside. Lightweight Psychopath that has a C- popularity in Tri State. I've been waiting for him to drop his 3rd promotion for awhile. Dunno how long this will last. Probably 1 card....

Krusher Karloff - $1500 PPA. Big Heavyweight Brawler. Not very skilled, but has C- popularity in Tri State.

Most of the workers I targeted turned us down, and a few were willing to negotiate, but just were asking for too much. But two popular Tri-State workers may just put us over the top and on the road to Regional.
