The Mid West Wrestling Federation
Road to Glory


The Road To Glory Challenge

THE ROAD TO GLORY CHALLENGE

------

Your goal is to actively rise through the ranks of the wrestling business and star in a Big, Large or Titanic promotion's PPV main event with an 100 rating.

You begin as an 18 year old custom made wrestler as the Head Booker of a local created 0/0/0/1000 backyard fed. Throughout the challenge you must always be the booker not the owner as following owner goals is a key part of this challenge.


-------
CHARACTER STATS

Age: 18 (If playing the default Cornellverse your birthday should fall between January 2001 and December 2001)

Reputation: Lowest
Potential: Excellent in all categories or random if you wish.

You can allocate your skills one of two ways:

1. Allocate 750 skill points

Skills: Your character starts with Resilience 100, Reputation 50, Experience 0 and Respect 0.
You have 750 Points to spend on other skills. (No skill may exceed 75 to begin with)

2. Use the Quick Skill Creation tool

Use the following settings:

Top Row Left - Set to 'trainee'
Top Row Middle - Pick from Brawler, Technician, High Flier, Spot Monkey or Hardcore Brawler
Top Row Right - Set to 'Whose skills are average'
Bottom Row Left - Set to 'of average athleticism'
Bottom Row Middle - Set to 'Somewhat entertaining'
Bottom Row Right - Set to 'Who looks like a star'

Then click 'create'. Just should just click this once, if you are unhappy with your stats after the first click then you can create your character using method 1.

Then make the following changes:

- No skill should be higher than 75 (except resilience). If any stat is above 75 then change it to 75
- Set Resilience to 100
- Set Reputation to 50
- Set Respect to 0
- Experience should be 0
- Move points between Sex Appeal and Menace if you wish


------

ATTRIBUTES

Attributes will be added via mystery boxes as the game progresses.

You can add up to three gimmick performance attributes (e.g. plays dominant well) as long as they are balanced out by adding the same number of negative gimmick performance attributes (e.g. Can't play comedy)


-------

POPULARITY

Set to 0 everywhere, you are starting from the bottom here.


------

STARTING PROMOTION

You start with a 0/0/0/1000 Promotion. That means it has 0 Popularity, 0 Momentum, 0 Prestige and $1000 in the bank.

Edit the promotion into the database before you begin the game, it is recommended that you select an owner who will be cheap and put him on a PPA deal.

Choose whatever product you want for your promotion


------

CHANGING PROMOTIONS

When you are ready to move on from your starting company you can take a booking job in a promotion 1 level larger than your current employer (or your previous if you are currently unemployed). For the purposes of this challenge Big, Large and Titanic count as the same level. If you drive your promotion bankrupt then you may only accept your next position with a company of the same size or lower than they were when they closed.

You may not create Company Pacts unless the AI initiates them OR you get an End Of Year roll specifying that you may do so.


------

USER PREFERENCES

Everything that affects gameplay should be left as default, making the game that little bit harder.

You can change cosmetic preferences such as 'Enable coloured text' and 'Enable drag and drop booking' but not anything that affects gameplay such as 'Booking times', 'Momentum' and 'Repetitive booking penalty'.

If you wish you can activate the pre-booking requirements and bonuses.


------

If you are looking for an online way to roll a custom sided dice, Id suggest here http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm (Look under Full Roll).

Random.org is also very useful for random numbers: https://www.random.org/

Alternatively, you can use a deck of cards to roll for you as the numbers have been deliberately limited so that you can use a standard deck plus jokers to do the roll for you.

Our Story...

CVFP_WhiteMale_028.jpg
Too Hot.jpg


Our fair and favored friend, Scott Anderson (left), has been hired to act as the booking protege of one former 4C Booker: Too Hot (right). Following the collapse and closure of Canadian Charisma Championship Combat, Too Hot returned to his native North Dakota and consolidated the money earned from his head booking job, deciding to open up a company for himself. In comes our hero, or rather unfortunate victim, of the story: Scott Anderson, a young 18 year old rookie wrestler from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Looking to make his start in the business after training since an early age, Too Hot spotted him at a local indy show and decided to hire him on the spot, stating he "saw potential" in Mr. Anderson. Unfortunately for Mr. Anderson, he's never booked a show, or even written anything other than essays. With no money, nobody knowing anything about this company, and Too Hot already past 40, will the Mid West Wrestling Federation survive and thrive, or will it die a painful death under the leadership of Too Hot and Anderson (well, yes, but shut up)?

MWWF Friday Show
Don McClain's Grill & Bar, St. Paul Minnesota
Attendance: 9 Whole Peeps


1591018097326.png


The show opens up in the back corner of the bar, where usually all the party-goers head to, but it has a big ol' ring in the center and like a few folks sitting and watching, interested in seeing what's about to go down. Out comes easily the most recognizable guy on the roster, Too Hot, who gets a mix of "who?" and cheers from the two or three guys who know him. Too Hot welcomes the stunning crowd of nine whole peeps to the show and tells them they're in for a hot show tonight, but he's interrupted when some very clearly stolen music hits the small speaker.

1591018318585.png


Out comes Scott Anderson, who sneers at the crowd, giving them the signal that he's not one to be liked. He tells Too Hot that nobody came to see him, but rather they came to see Scott Anderson. A member of the crowd shouts, "Nobody knows who that is!", which Anderson barks back calling said audience member an inbred idiot. Too Hot doesn't take kindly to being interrupted and offers Anderson a match tonight to see who the fans really want to see, which Anderson accepts.

Prime Time Jack Pryde vs. Texas Hangman

In a match that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Texas Hangman in 7:37 with a Prydefall. During the match, Hangman accidentally threw Pryde over the bar and knocked down several glasses, which caused Don McClain, the bar owner, to shout, "You rat bastards are breaking my shit!" Hangman threw McClain $20, which he responded with, "That's better."

After the match a man by the name of Jason Patterson shows up and starts attacking Jack Pryde, and soon Texas Hangman joins in. The two beat the crap out of him and leave Pryde a crumpled mess in the ring as the celebrate outside a job well done.

"The Son of Dread" Dreadnought vs. Wild Red Stallion

In an absolutely terrible match, Dreadnought and Wild Red Stallion drew with each other in 9:42 after a double count-out. During the match, the two would brawl into the "crowd" and nearly knock over a drunken guy at the bar.

Rating: 10

1591019325786.png


Texas Hangman and Jason Patterson come back out to boos, and they begin by declaring themselves the best tag team in the MWWF. They call themselves "The Southern Cowboys" and make notice to the rest of the roster (a whopping roster of 8 people, mind you) that they're going to run through everybody. They say Jack Pryde was just an example.

Too Hot vs. Scott Anderson

In a poor match, Too Hot rolled up Anderson for the win in 5:45. During the match, Hot and Anderson attempted a superplex, and Anderson's feet got caught on the ceiling, and hung there for about three seconds before falling on top of Too Hot in a completely unplanned occurrence. Right after Anderson could visibly be heard saying, "Never again."

Following the match, Anderson jumps a celebrating Too Hot from behind and beats him down, complaining that Too Hot stole his thunder and took away his shine. He throws Hot out of the ring and jaw jacks with the crowd as the show ends.

Jack's Steakhouse and Ballroom Parlor, St. Paul Minnesota
Attendance: 12 Whole Peeps

1591023656158.png


The show opens at a new venue, Jack's Steakhouse and Ballroom Parlor, which, if you haven't guessed by the name, is a steakhouse that also doubles as a ballroom. The ring sits in the middle of the dance floor and a visibly larger crowd of 12 people watch on from their seats, eager to eat steaks and watch some wrestling. Out comes The Southern Cowboys who get out to the ring and talk about how they made a big example last Friday with Jack Pryde, and that tonight, Texas Hangman is going to prove he's the best man in the company.

1591023977902.png


Out comes Jack Pryde full of piss and vinegar. He tells the Southern Cowboys that last week he was jumped by the bastards and that he demands retribution, and he's going to get it when he faces Jason Patterson tonight. He promises that he'll be victorious just like he was over Texas Hangman.

Texas Hangman vs. Jay Silver

In a terrible match, Texas Hangman defeated Jay Silver in 6:39 with a Choke Slam. During the match, there was a segment of the match where Silver and Hangman didn't know what to do and thus brawled to the outside no less than three times.

Rating: 10

1591024257970.png


Too Hot comes out and cuts a promo for the fans regarding the post-match attack by Anderson on him last Friday. He tells the crowd that he should have seen it coming, and that Anderson lost on Friday, and tonight he's going to lose again. Hot says it doesn't matter if the Son of Dread is teaming with Anderson, he's got himself a big bad ass partner in Wild Red Stallion.

Jason Patterson vs. Prime Time Jack Pryde

In a terrible match, Jason Patterson pinned Prime Time Jack Pryde in 8:18 with an Oklahoma Stampede after Texas Hangman showed up and distracted Jack. During the match, Patterson and Pryde were brawling by an empty booth and spilled a ton of barbecue sauce everywhere after Jack broke a bottle of the stuff over Patterson's head.

Rating: 11

1591026332829.png


Scott Anderson comes out and taunts the crowd, telling everybody that he's going to show the world that losing to Too Hot was just a fluke. He mentions that tonight his partner is the son of the legendary titan himself, Dread. He says that Dreadnought is by far the biggest bad ass he's ever seen and that when all is said and done, he and his partner will walk away with the victory.

Scott Anderson & Dreadnought vs. Too Hot & Wild Red Stallion

In a poor match, Scott Anderson & Dreadnought defeated Too Hot & Wild Red Stallion in 9:04 when Dreadnought pinned Too Hot after Anderson used an foreign object when the ref wasn't looking. During the match, Dreadnought dominated and was booked to look like a star, tossing around Too Hot, while Stallion stood his ground with him. Anderson didn't do much in the match and only wrestled when Too Hot was in the ring.
