Road To Glory
Ring ring ring...

???: Hello?Road To Glory
Ring ring ring...

???: "Ah, Scott Anderson?"
Anderson: Yes? Who is this?
Davis: "This is Leo Davis, TWL World Tag Team Champion."
Anderson: Uhm... Who?
Davis: "You haven't heard of me? *sigh* You ever watched Texas Wrestling League?"
Anderson: Uhm, sir... TWL went bankrupt before I was even born.
Davis: "Ah sh-... Right, look, just come over to my office."
Anderson: Your... office?
Davis: "Yeah, remember that flyer I handed you at Comic-Con last year?"
Anderson: Wait, wha-?
*Shuffling of paper*
Anderson: Hold on, this flyer? "Seeking assistant for M2W Incorporated"?
Davis: "Great, you still have it! I know you mentioned you had just gotten into the wrestling business so I have a proposition to give you? Just meet me at my office whenever you want. It's up in the 'Cities'."
Anderson: Fine, I'll be there in a couple hours I guess...
Davis: "I'll see you there. Just follow the instructions to get there and then we can talk."

I probably shouldn't have answered the phone then; I was desperate for work, though. Wrestling was my passion and I always dreamed of it. I had just finished breaking into the business at a local trainer, and I thought I was ready to get into the ring. What I didn't realize was that I got cooped up with one of the most incompetent owners of a wrestling company ever. The only reason it survived for so long was my doing, however. I was just a kid, though and I wanted desperately to become a great wrestler.
Davis: Ah, you're here!
Anderson: Uhm, yeah... What's this all about now?
Davis: Straight to the point, huh?
Anderson: I suppose you could say that.
Davis: Alright, then... here.
He handed me a flyer, which was marked for the end of February, 2016. On it was a cheap looking logo for what appeared to be a wrestling company. It was called Mid West Wrestling, or M2W. What a lame name, anyways, and the logo looked even lamer.
Anderson: Uhm... what is this about?
Davis: I want you to be my head writer and booker.
Anderson: ... Your what?
Davis: My head writer and-
Anderson: No, I heard you. I just don't believe I heard you right. You want me to be your booker?
Davis: Yeah.
Anderson: Why, may I ask?
Davis: Well, I'll be real honest. Money is tight so I was asking literally anyone that was even mildly interested.
Anderson: I see... and how much money do you have invested in, what was it... M2W Incorporated?
Davis: A whopping $1000.
Anderson: ... Ah.
Davis: What do you say, Scotty-boy?
Anderson: I uh... *sigh* I suppose?
Davis: Great! You and I are gonna be the best of partners. We're going to make so much money, I tell you.
Anderson: Yeah, sure...
That was it, I was right then and there made a booker for Mid West Wrestling. Who knew where that road would take me, but it was a bold step forward into the world of professional wrestling. My name is Scott Anderson, and this is my story.

- Changing Companies:
When you are ready to move on from your starting company you can only 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 National/International/Global all 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 should be turned on, making the game that little bit harder. If you do play with anything other than this then you will be playing the "Lite" version of the challenge.
