TEW/PWS Wrestling Simulators Discussion

I do play as owner because I like being able to craft my own style and stuff; often the owners ask for stupid things considering the product.

I'm enjoying this SWF save and I will keep it going over time but I"m also considering creating a fully-fledged super-indy promotion that takes heavy influence from Japanese wrestling with stables, divisions, and stuff but also with sports entertainment elements sowed in.

Kind of like a half-way point between NJPW and AEW but in the cornellverse.

I keep trying to make custom promotions but if I take it seriously and think things out I think it could be a ball.

That kind of indy promotion is one of my favorite products to run. Being stable heavy helps a lot too bc you have constant easy match-ups to make if a stable-mate is in a feud and stuff, allows you to be lazier without your booking seeming lazy at least lol

I'm pretty over running RIPW anyway but I'm trying to roleplay this save as the Cverse default character I RNG'd to pick so I'm thinking if a job doesn't open up elsewhere soon I'm just gonna say fuck it and have him start a small indy

Yeah exactly, I imagine it will originally be a monthly event promotion but when I go for a broadcasting deal and more regular shows, I'm not sure if I'll try a touring schedule for the first time, or if I'll just do weekly TV. With touring its super easy to do the whole stable thing, with TV it becomes a bit tricker but its still doable i guess

I can imagine RIPW gets a bit dull after a while because growth is pretty limited as you're a child company.

If you start your own company consider Canada as there are quite a lot of guys who have decent pop back from promotions like CGC and 4C before they closed down. Makes it easier to grow quickly.

I have been considering Canada tbh but I think I might save that for just another game. The user character I RNG'd is "Hardcore McAvatar" so he's a shitty hardcore wrestler for Scotland...which there's already SNP but the owner is like the worst human being in the game so I could be the plucky underdog promotion challenging the one with all the money The Euro scene is getting better and better in game too bc all the companies have deals with WrestleWorld now but aren't close to being big enough for exclusive contracts and no one outside of Europe/UK really wants to sign them, you just have to worry about 21CW poaching

Believe it or not, Carnie isn't the worst human in the game - there's some welsh millionaire bloke who is allegedly a pedo. Can't remember his name.

I REALLY want to make a European promotion that gets a TV deal but its such a challenge. The allure of getting LANDON MALLORY SOUTH AFRICAN SUPERSTAR into a legitimate TV superstar is massive though.

Australia is also an absolute gold mine for talent - not to mention almost all of RAW's guys are on handshake deals.

I've tried booking 21CW but their roster is so bland and all their renders are vanilla bald blokes so I find it difficult to care about most of the roster and get half of them confused :

EILL has a fun looking roster (GINO MONTERO THE GOAT) but I don't know enough about lucha libre to book them well

Never heard of the alleged pedo lol For a demo run in 2020 I did EWA and that made me see hella potential in a Europe save and Landon Mallory has loads of potential. Agreed with Australia too, I was booking ZEN for the first year and a half of my current playthrough before going to RIPW and barely any RAW guys were exclusive, I just couldn't afford them lol

EILL's roster is just absolutely insane. I don't know lucha libre all that well too but it seems pretty simple, stripped down good vs evil feuds. I think EILL's product base is even "lucha libre sports entertainment" essentially too with more American influences.

Bruh like 3 different girls have left SNP bc of Carnie putting hidden cameras in the girl's locker room but at least they're over 18

True, I'll probably do an EILL save down the line.

I kind of like the idea of running as Magnus Ivansson (Icelandic Billionaire) and investing in a new European promotion to the point where they get a TV deal and having my pick of the top EU talent, problem is noone is over enough so all the shows get pinged because everyone is "unimportant"

I'm waiting for Cornellverse 2024 when Carnie gets investment from new partner Flanagan and they expand beyond Scotland, bringing their sleeze to the entire UK

No lie though Carnie being such a scumbag is one of the reasons I'm thinking my end goal in this save is to try and get a better promotions in Scotland.

I've got my headcanon all planned out too, my dude didn't wanna fuck with Carnie from the start so that's why he went to New Zealand of all places but after some success he decides he's gotta come home to make it right for all the other people that can't leave

 

[Ace]

That sounds dope, do it :

 

[Chris]

Yeah the issue I'm at is I'm bored of RIPW and my reputation is like in the 20s I wanna say (man I haven't even loaded up this game in a couple weeks or so), and idk feels like i"m not ready to run my own company yet

I'm gonna at least do a year of RIPW so maybe 4-5 more months there and see where we are. And in the meantime if any hardcore indy (or even CZCW) has a booking spot open up I'm taking it instead. My dude is a hardcore deathmatch wrestler and so far he's only wrestled for ZEN and RIPW that's so hard to rationalize in my headcanon

BTW have you played the 2018 Alternative Cornellverse mod, @CHRISTOPHER ?

Grey Dog Software Forum

Its some guy's take on how the Cornellverse could progress 2 years after the 2016 database. Was made before 2020 so it doesn't take into account the current version of the cornellverse.

I find it to make a ton of promotions incredibly fun to play.
