I might have to think of that, cause I do got Theory as a heel. Might help him out a little to be paired with someone.

But I wouldn't know who else to add. :lol since I'm in 2016 and that came a bit later than that.

I've been playing a modern TEW save. I went in with no gameplan. I ended up choosing Gillian Jacobs and made her owner of WCPro, since she's a known PWG fan and some company needs to fill that West Coast void. Been booking them for over a year now, and it's been fun. I bought out Ice Ribbon when they were about to die and initially I wanted to just have them as a sister company, and a foothold in Japan. But then Big Japan Pro-Wrestling was also about to die and for reasons that are beyond me, I bought them too. :lol Then, I made a decision that I probably wouldn't have in hindsight, and I closed Ice Ribbon and brought the joshis I wanted over to Big Japan. At the same time, I went ahead and altered Big Japan's product to Wild West Strong Style to cut back on the deathmatches and shit, and make it more favorable for me to send my roster over there to improve and gain pop. It's been a unique one so far.
So I've still been playing this game and it's now summer of 2027, I'm coming up on my 3rd year booking WCPro. Since buying and consolidating Ice Ribbon and Big Japan together, I've shifted that company into becoming really successful, which wasn't that hard given how the touring system works. On a size scale, Big Japan is actually a decent bit bigger than WCPro, even though they're my child company. :lol But that's all good. I like being able to use some of their talent, and they're great for me to send workers to, both for development and to shake off the ring rust if they haven't been wrestling recently. I've booked some collab events between WCPro and Big Japan that I really liked as well. I added some US events to Big Japan's calendar as well so that they could blossom over here. And then pretty recently I said fuck it and just launched my own streaming service for WCPro that has tiny coverage in the US and Canada. I plan to expand the coverage to Japan once I get some money back up. But so now I have WCPro and Big Japan both on my own streamer, as well as with other distribution... as a whole, we're really just flourishing because of how well WCPro itself is starting to do, and with Big Japan being turned around and becoming profitable... the money's looking solid. My most recent move to expand my influence was in Mexico. I saw RIOT Lucha Libre was in a bit of debt, and I debated buying them as well, but I thought it could get a little clunky. I didn't want another development territory, but I do want them there to use as a vessel to expand into Mexico. So, for now, I offered them a cash boost to butter them up, then established a talent trading agreement and made them my sister company. I then formed an alliance between WCPro, Big Japan and RIOT that is both a consortium (profits are split) and talen trading alliance. So in effect, I do have three companies now working in unison for one kinda common brand, which is pretty sick considering where this all started. :lol

Well now I've plundered ChocoPro so that I could absorb their pop in Japan and it was convenient as it allowed me to pick up folks like AZM, Emi Sakura, Mei Suruga and Miu Watanabe kinda "organically". Now I'll be sending them off to Big Japan to join the other joshis there, and of course using them pretty often on WCPro shows as well. What this means now is I can start running WCPro shows in Japan that will actually draw decent crowds (WCPro x Big Japan x RIOT show in Japan coming soon for sure) and I was able to get on Japanese YouTube so that'll help sustain and hopefully grow my popularity there going forward. I am actually pretty curious to see how far this goes at this point. I've lost decent chunks by doing these buy outs and establishing my own network but thus far, they have been profitable investments and we keep growing.

I held my 3-way co-promoted clusterfuck show, and of course we had to do it in a legendary arena for the occasion.

Screenshot-2025-08-02-234549.png


So this was my company's first show in Japan. It was the third show WCPro and Big Japan have co-promoted, but the first with all three companies that belong in my United In Fight alliance. It got my highest attendance ever (at Korakuen no less) and had my best match ever (AZM vs. La Catalina). Of course the segments were ass because of the language barrier. The overall show rating was mostly hurt by the fact that most of the people aren't full-time WCPro talents so they were all considered "overused". Without that factor, I think the show rating would have been higher. But it wasn't harmful to my popularity anyways, so it's all good.

Just for a little added context that isn't represented. This could get long because it's going to dive into the lore of the game-

- Calvin Tankman is my world champion, and he's just recently beat Adam Priest who held the belt for over 500 days. Tankman is also a Big Japan regular and often teams with Taniguchi in a team called Raw Power, and their most frequent trios partner is Kazumasa Yoshida. Adrian Quest and Robert Martyr belong to a stable in Big Japan called Ex Psychos, who are led by AKIRA. Recently, AKIRA and Tankman won the WCPro Blind Faith Tag Team Tournament (8 randomly drawn teams compete in a tournament where the winner gets a title shot). They're still waiting for their title shot, but things are a little messy now that Tankman beat his stable-mates here.
- Meanwhile, Priest and 1 Called Manders have been staples of the company, and Priest just recently lost the World Title after 500 days as champ. Priest and Manders have 2 prior singles meetings in WCPro. Manders beat Priest in the semi-finals of the 2025 King of the Indies Tournament, which he would go on to win. Priest, however, would then enter a triple threat between Manders and the current champion Kevin Blackwood, which is where Priest became the champ. Priest then defended the belt against Manders in their second singles match to even the score at 1-1. Now that years have passed, Manders and Priest are two of the company's stalwarts and heading for a rubber match.
- The women's champion is Nixon Newell. Previous champs include Johnnie Robbie, Takumi Iroha, Masha Slamovich and B3CCA. Right now, Newell has just turned heel along with Alex Windsor, who has been like a friend-emy. They jumped AZM after she won the 2027 Queen of the Indies (over Brooke Havoc) which earned her a shot at Newell's title. So that's also brewing.
- The Golden Gate Championship has mostly been defined by Starboy Charlie who had the belt when I started. I started developing a storyline for him back in 2025 where he was a workhorse champ who was getting increasingly banged up. You could compare it to OC's lengthy run as International Champ probably. Well, eventually, he lost the belt to Arez. But, Arez's deal had expired that same night so I had to audible a story wherein the title was held up. Charlie then beat Arez to regain the vacant title, continuing to carry it through kayfabe injury. His second title reign then went another 308 days. At one point near the end, Juice Robinson joined the company and was an ally of Charlie's. Eventually he wanted a title shot though, and he got it. He took advantage, won the title, and Charlie had to be stretchered off to finally give him some time off to sell his injuries. Juice became a heel out of this and is now having his run, with Hiromu Takahashi (another recent signing) being his next challenger.
- Some other core pieces of the company have been Titus Alexander, Marcus Mathers (he won last year's King of the Indies and was promptly signed to an exclusive deal in TNA, which I consider a success), Timothy Thatcher, Hideki Suzuki, Kevin Blackwood, Anthony Henry (until ROH got him exclusively), Sinner & Saint who are the tag champs, Tre Lamar, Josh Bishop, KC Navarro and BEEF. We have some younger dudes who are kinda homegrown like Alpha Zo, Jiah Jewell and Ishmael Vaughn who are mainly in Big Japan these days. We also have signed some high profile free agents, mostly in recent months, such as Juice Robinson, Ace Austin, Chris Bey, Hiromu Takahashi and Brody King who are going to help continue to raise the profile the company.
- The roster is super fluid beyond the names mentioned before in this breakdown, really. One of my favorite parts of being an indie company is all the one-night or short term deals. Bringing people in once, letting them go, maybe bring them back a while later for a few more spots and so on. Plus, with all these wrestlers moving between WCPro, Big Japan and RIOT, there's always fresh matchups and people to push.

I feel like my top 20 matches represents the essence of the company pretty well right now.
