Not a bad shout actually. My biggest problem with the CornellVerse is I keep restarting saves because I don't like what I've done at some point - accepting that things won't be perfect by going full random is probably a good idea.

Yeah exactly, I tend to focus too much on me doing technical shit wrong too bc it kinda ruins the simulation for me bc I'll fuck up shit sometimes that just doesn't make sense like accidentally putting a post match segment before it

But doing a random one, I try and roleplay more if that makes sense and be whatever character I end up as, if he seems like a dick then I'm a dick and if I get fired and have to go to another company then so be it

That said I've never played outside of US/Canada so maybe I should try a different region. SOTBPW actually looks ridiculously stacked and I still get to use my bae El Mitico.

I'm not really a fan of booking lucha libre in the game, it's not bad just not my preference. Japanese companies are fun if you wanna book mostly pure wrestling without a lot of angles. Any small time hardcore promotion is great for a drug riddled roster full of laughs but they'll never really be built up bigger. The best time I had playing 2013 was with IPW tho, so that shitty hardcore promotion will always have a place in my heart.

Yeah I just always see SOTBPW getting 99/100 rated main event matches which was tempting lol.

I've liked the idea of running MAW but losing your top stars to writtens on a consistent basis feels ugh. If I could keep Greg Gauge and Roderick Remus I'd be keen.

I like playing at around a cult level so you can sign people on writtens but have good space to grow. But CGC are the only Western cult org and they're shit.

I'm kinda tempted to do a 21CW save but I don't like the whole nations split thing. They have some great workers though.

The go home episode before Homecoming is here.

The big news coming from this show is that Brian Cage suffered a legit UCL tear which will keep him out of action for 30 days (fucking god damn shit) which is funny because I've done a couple of kayfabe injury storylines but this is the first actual injury I've been slapped with. In reality, it's not all that bad. Fulton vs. Cage was sort of a thrown together match. I also threw together that Cannon and Cage vs. oVe match and post-match beatdown which turned out to be a good idea, because now I can just say Cage got hurt in the attack and Cannon will take his spot against Fulton at Homecoming.

Homecoming should be fun.

Homecoming bitches.

I think I went wrong making the last matches on the card sort of long. I believe that drove down the grades they got.

But it's all good. Show was decent enough, but I would have certainly preferred something in the Cs.

Slammiversary will be the next PPV on the schedule, which I'm really looking forward to. Two new additions will be made to the Impact Wrestling Hall of Fame. Any guesses who they might be?

YOU HAD JOHN CENA WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP IN FRONT OF FEWER THAN 14K PEOPLE

Also fuck yeah, in this universe I got to watch Cena, Hogan, Kobashi, Eddie, AJ, AND HARLEM HEAT And I was only 7...at least my parents better have taken me or I would have ran away from home or something

 

[Hoss]

Could have at least run the show at William R. Johnson Coliseum.

I thought about suggesting it but thought fuck it, the place where my junior prom needed a show.

He should have done it at Banita

I had to think about that for a bit. I was like, do I really want to do this. after a little bit I was like. Fuck it, it's done. I had to do so so much tho to make Hogan do it.

Does he have creative control or did you just not want him super pissed at the finish?

Didn't want him super pissed. I ain't about to give anyone, let along Hogan Creative Control. that be a horrible idea.

I thought he may have had it when you started the game but I should have known Vince wouldn't play that nonsense

 

[Vegeta]

So, you know how I got that alliance with NJPW? Well, they had Hogan on a loan and well.

 

[Hoss]

Fujinami had to get his win back brother.
