GFW has no one but Jeff Jarrett though and I wouldn't want to take over being owner from him lol I might as well start my own company, it'd be the same thing since they have no roster or anything at the start of the mod.

@CHRISTOPHER I know you're a fellow Cornellverse player. Had a really nice start to my new SWF save.

I'm playing as Phil Vibert who was elected by the board to take over SWF following the Eisen brothers and Eric's wife, Emma Chase, being implicated in the same financial issue that saw Richard Eisen step down a few years back.

Vibert is taking the company to a more "ruthless aggression" product to ensure SWF doesn't become "Budget USPW."

Also USPW just debuted a B Show called "Flame Grilled TV" :

Nice, nice. Keep me updated on what happens. You plan on making a SWF network? I know the game does at some point bc I was using it for my RIPW save lol but idk how far into the game it was made

I think your game made the SWF network at random as it isn't automatically programmed to happen.

But yeah I kind of did, but it only covers US/Canada/Mexico/British Isles and ranges from tiny to small coverage - the goal for it is just to be a place to broadcast RIPW (now known as SWF RISE) and my new women-only child company SWF SHINE.

I will probably develop an SWF Global broadcaster sooner rather than later too - its the only way to expand into other countries.

Ah maybe, I can't remember if it has a logo or not so it could have just been random bc they had the money.

SWF RISE is way better than RIPW lol

 

[Ace]

It probably uses the default SWF logo when it makes them, not sure.

I don't think its great but it needed a rebrand for broadcasting lol, its like keeping FCW FCW instead of switching it to NXT.

Second PPV. Worst show I've had yet on either TV or PPV. And its meant to be one of the big ones Still higher than the company pop though so its not that bad I guess.

Key stories that led into this PPV:

After beating the veteran Jungle Lord, Spade labelled himself a legend killer and was immediately confronted by Angry Gilmore, who challenged him to a match. Spade declined as a cowardly heel would but was coaxed into fighting Gilmore at the PPV, and spent the weeks that followed attacking Gilmore post-matches.

The Ladies Men is a new tag team between Mainstream Hernandez and Dominic DeSousa that gives them both something to do. They won a match or two, said they were the next hot thing, convinced Hawaiian Crush to give them a title shot. Fairly generic feud to get the title reign running.

Starr has got more vicious since leaving the sleazy Rat Pack and attacked Morgan after a match the latter had on TV, built up to PPV match.

Davids beat up ZWB after a non-title match on TV and the Ranger/Marshall Dillon tag team made the save. Next week Davids beat Dillon and smashed him with a chair before Ranger could make the save, leading up to Ranger challenging Davids directly for the title.

Hannah said she left Valiant and chose Remo because she wanted a "winning horse," not the "also-ran" that Valiant has become when compared to guys like Rocky and Remo. Valiant wanted to prove that he's not an also-ran, hence the rematch.

Rocky/Scythe was a classic build up of Rocky cutting promos saying he's not scared of Scythe despite how he had been 'haunting' Rocky for a few months, and Scythe doing Undertaker-ish things to attack and disturb Rocky - culminating in the payoff show segment where Rocky found a gift in his locker - a voodoo doll of himself with a pin in it. Scythe attacked him from behind and left him writhing in pain.

If you make Mainstream Hernandez a bonafide main eventer, I'd be so happy He was always someone I pushed on 2013

 

[Ace]

I've got so many guys I want to make main eventers, its such a stacked roster.

He's definitely someone I'm considering long-term though.

May have to end up running a brand-split although I always find that much more tedious to book.

idk how much you've looked at RIPW so far but they have some top guys that are fun too but most of the roster is kinda ass.

So far I really like Hellion and Forrest Ratzloff (but they got called up pretty quick for me). Willy Laroux, Curt Merritt (who's actually PPA, you should sign him to an exclusive developmental deal probably), and Whole Lotta Marvin have huge upsides too

Yeah I've already brought up Forrest as Spade's lackey, spoiler alert but I plan on having a faction with Spade, The Ladies Men and Forrest as a bunch of pretty boys who think they're superior to everyone else. Forrest being a ripped heavyweight will be the muscle.

Hellion's great but I find him awkward to bring up onto the roster since he's so similar to Scythe.

I want to bring in The Magic Boys but they have the titles so I'll let them have a proper run with them first, there are a bunch of other guys I'll probably bring in gradually - particularly ahead of a brand split to fill out the rosters. Moriarty Schnell is another one with awesome potential, and guys like Deever Arnold, Warwick Good, and Rocky Weatherfield are all solid workers who can fill out the bottom card.

Oh yeah I forgot about Deever bc I took over RIPW after he was already called up to SWF. Moriarty is great too, I'm building him up for a big push currently (well when I decide to finally play again). Rocky is a great babyface too.....Warwick is the only one I have pause with bc for the life of me I can't get that dude over.

When I first started I was losing Forrest and Hellion soon so my plan was to make Warwick my GUY until he got called up bc it felt soon too and man he just flopped so hard that I ended up taking the belt off him kinda quick and my headlining feud now is a faction war between Willy's Infamous and Curt Merrit's Merrit Enterprises that I made up lol and Warwick is an upper midcarder doing better now at least.

 

[Ace]

Yeah Warwick doesn't have anywhere near the star quality, charisma etc to become a top guy but he at least can already work in the ring so he's essentially a useful jobber to have on the main roster - at least I imagine by looking at his stats. I've got no plans to push Warwick on the main roster, just to use him as a jobber who can actually work.

Just checked in the 'Creative' tab and under Hot Prospects, they think Forrest can become a 'fantastic' in-ring performer which is basically the highest prediction a wrestler can get so I'm hoping he develops his in-ring talent quickly on the main roster as with his star quality/sex appeal he could actually become a main eventer down the line.

Of course I'll probably never get to that point as I don't stay committed to saves for long enough lol.

Yeah I wasn't sold on Warwick being THE guy for too long but I thought it'd be fine for a couple months bc I was hit with the Forrest/Hellion are leaving notifications within two weeks after I took over the company and Forrest was main champion with Hellion as midcard champion (for some reason) so I was like FUCK and Warwick was the only other kinda main eventer

Thank god I noticed Willy Laroux and Curt Merrit were both gaining popularity INSANELY fast bc of how good they were at talking and I'd always schedule interviews and what not with them, so I strapped it on Willy and he's been champ for probs 3 or 4 months now, December 2021-March 2022 I think, you might have inspired me to continue this game actually
