I'd watch that NXT card :

Alright so I got this Miracle on Bourbon Street mod set-up and have added myself to the game as I'm finally going to try and do the scenario where I win the lottery and enter the wrestling business as the game starts in April of 2014 which is right after I'd turn 18

So the next question is, what to actually do The only thing I'm really ruling out is WWE, I'd be open to like just taking over ROH or TNA or something along those lines, maybe a smaller indie and give them some financial backing. Or I can just start my new company with a lot of money behind it....would probably just steal the AMA logo from Smark and use that as the name since it's a graphic already available for me to use

Thanks Jimmy.

I considered that bc I saw they just started but idk it wasn't something I was ever into and I think I'd rather just try and save TNA. I might just start a working relationship with GFW for and convert it to developmental or something since realistically I can't bring Jarrett back either (which I'd want to).

Honestly i be more intrested see what u do with gfw and shit

 

[Chris]

GFW has no one but Jeff Jarrett though and I wouldn't want to take over being owner from him lol I might as well start my own company, it'd be the same thing since they have no roster or anything at the start of the mod.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

So I did this thing. UPWF has 30 in popularity in the Midwest and 25 in the Great Lakes region. It's a tiny company but with loads of money invested into it, and is already part of the Confederation of the Territories.

Just to note, here are some major signings in the company:

Good shit Grim

I actually imported a lot of workers from the expansion packs that were modded, such as the Women's Revolution, India Expansion, and Yet To Debut packs from the GDS site, so much of my roster are complete unknowns but uber-talented.

I haven't fucked with any of those tbh

 

[Bobby Barrows]

So... I went and thought, "What would happen if I just left my new company alone and let it run on autopilot for three years.

Turns out, it would become the 5th biggest company in the world, uber-rich, and uber-talented without any major stars.

Even without major stars or even regular stars, the company still put out massive matches and shows on their top-heavy schedule.

The secret to their massive success was the opening of WrestleWorld for their weekly shows and their own schedule, which consisted of:

UPWF Wrestling Round-Up is their dedicated television show produced by IC-TV and NCTV, Canadian and American broadcasters respectively. The show is just under 1 million viewers weekly, making them the clear #4 US company in terms of ratings, and surprisingly #5 overall. USPW, TCW, SWF, and EILL currently do better ratings than UPWF. Canadian Wrestling Alliance doesn't even do as well as UPWF.

On WrestleWorld all of their events are aired frequently, and their shows also peak at 15k in attendance. They have three shows a week, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Their big event is UPWF Uproar, currently in its 36th edition.

Here's their size currently as well:

So long story short, I think I made a broken company. It was losing money for its first few months but when WrestleWorld opened up in March 2020, UPWF capitalized and started raking in money en masse, and then with an uber-talented roster, just put up awesome ratings night after night.

honestly this is the kinda shit you should post over on the greydog forums too so Adam actually sees it bc these long term sims help him balance and shit I'm sure.

Yeah, to my surprise only two companies have died while I ran this sim:

FCW and CWW. Meanwhile, SWF fell to medium for a short time but picked right back up, USPW has hundreds of millions of dollars, and TCW is somehow keeping its talents despite the narrative that it's a slowly dying company. Even PGHW isn't dying when for all intents and purposes, it should be.

I think the reason UPWF didn't immediately tank is that, again, a top-heavy schedule boosted its ratings ten-fold by year's end, and because I had a fuck-ton of expansion and unknown workers.

 

[Chris]

That sounds about like what happened in mine (I'm a little over two years in). FCW died towards the end of 2021. CWW just upgraded production values stupidly and were losing money like crazy so I imagine they'll follow soon.
