TEW/PWS Wrestling Simulators Discussion

Yeah I like going for guys with high Star Quality and charisma, as well as solid psychology and brawling to at least be able to hold their own in the ring (brawling can be replaced with aerial or technical).

Warwick has the latter which makes him an okay worker but not the SQ and charisma to get himself over. I find guys like him best to get others over like Laroux and co.

Personally if I booked RIPW I'd probably strap a rocket to guys like Zap Powerson, Marvin, Hellion etc who have great star quality and charisma.

You should have booked my RIPW for me; I dropped Makutsi down to them because he's in a funk and was addicted to soft drugs and I like the idea of a return to glory type story for him down the line - kind of like how they did with Jeff Hardy recently.

Makutsi is just churning out great matches because his pop his obviously huge for the promotion.

Man, I've been trying to find a way playing as RIPW to get SWF to send some people down to me but I don't think it's possible to initiate from my end

I 100% agree with Zap and Marvin too, Marvin is in my Merrit Enterprises stable and a tag champ but I've already been giving him main event TV solo matches and he's primed to breakout, has ABSURD charisma.

Oh btw Bryan Jewett's contract came up for renewal and I took a look at him and realised he is pretty damn solid - really good entertainment skills for a 23-yo, 76 star quality that can increase in time with size and shape changes, and he's more than good enough as a worker.

Oh, and he has 82 selling. So he's great jobber material to start his career and build up some pop :

 

[Ace]

Oh god, Valiant just got injured and will be out for a couple months... and it wasn't even at a show!

I'd had some really great ideas for him too... :

 

[Ace]

Oh I just checked medical and its 41 days and he can still work angles, i guess i'll be able to make that work

Good PPV again - strong matches all round.

Key storylines to understand -

Spade won cheaply last PPV and Gilmore wanted a rematch - even going as far as to attack him, which caused Spade to accept. [I just realised I botched the match booking as Spade was meant to win :] I'll just pretend in my head.

Awesomeness won an good TV match and Hawaiian Crush acknoweldged a good win after the match. Ladies Man Dominic DeSouza won a singles match against Bryan Jewett and wanted to know where his acknowledgement was - Crush said fine, if they can beat Awesomeness, they will make their title match a triple threat. Ladies Men cheated their way to victory.

Starr wasn't satsified after losing to Morgan last PPV, attacked him until they agreed to a rematch.

Rogue attacked Valiant ahead of a Main Event match they were both part of (a 2v2) - ZWB replaced Rogue and said he wanted a 1v1 match at PPV to teach him a lesson

Lau was attacked from behind a while back and assumed it was Brandon James after Lau had beaten James at the last PPV. James insisted it was not him who had attacked Lau but Lau did not believe him.

Davids harassed Ranger for a rematch, eventually got it.

After proving himself against Valiant, Remo felt he deserved a match. Rocky agreed, never afraid to defend his belt.

Spade is just money in TEW, he's basically a cheat code for high ratings.

 

[Ace]

This was always going to be a bit of a 'filler' PPV - Starr was never going to win the title realistically.

- Awesomeness got their title shot because they didn't technically lose the three-way title match at the previous PPV.

- Primus won a six-way #1 contender match on TV, classic case of two brutes building up to a big brawl. Everyone is telling me that Ranger is a future star but his matches have been... okay. Still, he's fighting in the midcard so I guess I shouldn't expect fireworks.

- Parker got a shock roll-up victory on TV which infuriated Spade. This was the rematch, which Parker happily granted.

- After being revealed to be the man who attacked Lau at the last PPV, the next TV show saw Smasher unveil that he is the leader of a new faction - Cult of Atom - which also includes Greed as his voice piece and Bear Bekowski and Goliath (Gargantuan from BHOTWG) as his muscle. Their goal is simple - hurt people. They don't care who, they don't care why. Lau wanted a match, so Atomic saw it as an opportunity to inflict pain - and accepted.

- Valiant returned after a couple weeks layoff due to Rogue's brutal attack (at least in kayfabe) - Rogue says he's teaching Valiant how to be a winner, Valiant wants to keep things clean. Rogue won this PPV match by leveraging the ropes.

- Starr said he was on a roll following his victory over Morgan at last PPV and asked Rocky for a title match. Rocky thought Starr was joking and laughed him off, but when Starr blew his top next week, Rocky said fine - beat Mikey Lau and you'll get your shot. Starr got the win - partially because Lau was on edge regarding The Cult of Atom - and was big talk leading up to the match. He attacked Golden at the go-home show and got away before Rocky could catch him.

The debut of Chord is a massive deal - he's a ridiculously talented wrestler who becomes one of the best wrestlers in the world - if he isn't already.

 

[Chris]

Jay Chord nice

 

[Ace]

Hoped for more from the main event but I keep getting dinged for "not enough selling" - frustrating but oh well.

- Spade pulled a prank on Lau backstage on a TV episode pretending to be Atom Smasher - it resulted in Lau beating down Spade, and Spade furiously requesting a match to reclaim his dignity. The match here in this PPV involved a distraction from Smasher's muscle - Goliath and Bear Bekowski.

- Gilmore and Davids was an impromptu match after Davids attacked Gilmore post-match on the go-home show.

- Scythe faced Greed after Scythe embarassed the latter by beating him up in front of Atom Smasher - Smasher said Greed must regain his pride.

- ZWB's bad form continues as he eats the pin in a 3v3 match - the feuds between the brothers and Awesomeness/Crush extended by this match.

- Chord has been on a tear and challenged Ranger on his first TV appearance - big win for Chord to end Ranger's reign.

- The Morgan/Starr feud ends here in the third of a best-of-three series of matches. The conclusion of this feud was not half helped along by the fact that Starr has decided to become a Comedy wrestler >.>

- Rogue said he deserved a shot after beating Valiant last month, Remo has been attacking Rocky and that grudge definitely isn't over - hence triple threat title match. Rogue ate the pin, leaving Remo and Rocky's rivalry going strong.


I meant to debut another big star this PPV but forgot to do it

He's been getting over really nicely too, I could just ignore it but I want to play according to what happens in the game :/

Yeah this is half the fun for me. The game is so manipulable if you're just "playing to win" but that's no fun so I gotta give myself the challenge of keeping it all realistic. Like once I made the move to have RIPW be shown on the SWF Network (which would be a no-brainer irl I assume as NXT was instantly on the WWE Network), I started RAKING in profits that I couldn't use bc SWF absorbed them all. But I still didn't upgrade shit all the way instantly bc that felt unrealistic lol so I'm still gradually making production changes and adding shows and shit.

Honestly might steal your idea of changing the name too

 

[Ace]

Yeah exactly, its a flawed game that is easy to manipuate but that takes away the fun.

It's one of the reasons I play as booker over owner more often just for a little extra challenge. I remember older games had different owner goals though, 2020 just seems to be "don't hire these types or I'll be mad and don't go broke" but I remember like 2013 would give you guys that you were supposed to try and get over in a time period too
