dope shit Sky

The highest I ever had for a Cverse developmental match when I booked one for a few months was like a 50 and both guys got called up right after

 

[Sky]

I think we can conclude that having an owned broadcaster is OP

 

[Sky]

Oh god damn NJPW just cut Hashimoto

 

[Sky]

Because they're in debt

 

[Sky]

Instant buy right there tbh

 

[Sky]

Oh wait no, I just remembered, he's got a broken neck

 

[Chris]

I had one with the parents company (and the AI hadnt even joined until I took over booking) it helped with my company and wrestler popularity a lot but bc they had exclusive contracts and didn't work indies I had to schedule manual house shows I autobooked so they'd get enough reps to have any kind of ability

 

[Chris]

Maybe the Performance Center needed to be upgraded too since that improves stats passively but I think only parent companies can do that

 

[Sky]

Oh wait no, I just remembered, he's got a broken neck

Update: I got him on a 1-month deal just to send him for surgery in the hope that it would save his career. It made it worse.

 

[Sky]

He's now out till 1995 and set to be a shell of what he could have been from now on

 

[Chris]

Can't imagine the Observer reports on this incident at the time

 

[Chris]

A lot of times once the broken neck injury time ends they still just retire then bc they can't come back

 

[Chris]

See that with herniated discs and maybe major concussions too

Can't imagine the Observer reports on this incident at the time

Shinya Hashimoto, who looked set to be the next top star in crisis-stricken New Japan, will now be out of action until at least the year 1995, leaving the company without one of its organic babyfaces as it looks to recover from a Yakuza crime scandal that saw sponsorships and broadcasting deals vanish into the ether. When (indeed, if) he returns, it is unlikely he'll be able to work the hard hitting Japanese style; just look at Kenta Kobashi, who has clearly been left behind by his contemporaries in All Japan after returning from his own spinal issues. The "temporary" NJPW booking regime, which has essentially seen Mutoh and Chono booking by themselves and trying to navigate Tenryu's extensive creative control, is trying its best, but will this be too much to recover from?
