[Regis]

Woohoo!

And it seems that the new tradition of Europe is Extreme Sarcasm. I approve.

[Apupunchau@optonline]

More goodness for Marcel can't wait to see you do something with the oft overlooked european region.

[Phantom Stranger]

Excellent.

I'm definitely looking forward to this one, Marcel. Back where you work best... and the Breeze there from the start!

Oh yes. I will be reading.

[Comradebot]

BLAST YOU VILE UEW!!!!


YOU'LL RUE THE DAY YOU MOCKED EWA!!! RUUUEEE!!! I SAY!!!!


Go ahead, START RUEING!!!


I'd say say Boris Kiriyakin, but... man, I can't see how you could manage to push him in UEW. The fans of it aren't quite as excepting of "OMG, that guy is really big! OVERNESS!!!!"

[Dragonmack]

I'm just wondering how long until The Celtic God Merle O'Curle makes his way across the channel! :D ;)

Good stuff and your newsletter format is a hit as always!

I'm sure Monsieur Fromage will be clever enough not to just make wholesale changes and turn this into ROF Mk2, but a gradual introduction of some old faves like Merle O'Curle would be kind of cool. :)

Yeah, it's going to be a bit of a balancing act. Obviously there are quite a few guys from ROF who will be a good fit into UEW. And there aren't that many different European guys available that weren't there in the long-running ROF game, so it's not like there's a greatly extended talent base to choose from. Plus UEW starts 2008 with a working agreement in place with ROF, which I will make use of from time to time (including quite quickly, you will notice shortly)...although it'll certainly not be with enormous regularity.

However...I certainly don't want to make this just like the other diary. Many formatting things will be similar because...well, it's how I find easiest to do a diary and they seemed to go down well last time. So results, news, previews, interviews etc will be very similarly done. But I'm going to be at least a little careful with the introduction of wrestlers so that I don't end up with identical rosters too fast! At least the starting roster gives me a few guys I used either in a very limited way or not at all last time.

I did worry a little at first that UEW might be too similar to ROF. But I wanted a promotion that featured performance over popularity, that wasn't being dynastied majorly already and which allowed quite a bit of potential growth over a period of time (which is why, TK, I didn't go with PGHW as you suggested...it was a good idea though!). And of course, a game that I'd enjoy playing.

Thanks to those who have posted already (even Comradebot with your pro-EWA spouting! - might have to make a few more derogatory comments about them on the way!) and hopefully it'll continue to hold people's interests (including my own)!

QUICK PICKS

UEW World Title
Joey Beauchamp vs Michael Moodie

Don Henderson vs Stig Svensson

Inky the Squid vs Sergei Kalashnov

UEW Nations Title
Geoff Borne vs Maxx

Ali Bloxsome vs Jamie Anderson

Otto Hammerschmidt vs Wez Blooze

[Phantom Stranger]

UEW World Title
Joey Beauchamp vs Michael Moodie
Champ retains to begin with.

Don Henderson vs Stig Svensson
The rub goes to the non-loaner while Don teaches. I suspect the Highland Hitman will become a major player even if he stays solely on loan, however.

Inky the Squid vs Sergei Kalashnov
The Fresh Prince is easily the stronger contender.

UEW Nations Title
Geoff Borne vs Maxx
Champ, well, retains to begin with.

Ali Bloxsome vs Jamie Anderson
I like Jamie more.

Otto Hammerschmidt vs Wez Blooze
If you beat Jamie I figure you beat Otto.

UEW World Title
Joey Beauchamp vs Michael Moodie
Mr Cool breeze isn't losing to Mr over the hill.

Don Henderson vs Stig Svensson
Captain Hero defeats Mclugar!

Inky the Squid vs Sergei Kalashnov
he's always bombed for me in the states, but here the fresh Prince of belarus is gold!

UEW Nations Title
Geoff Borne vs Maxx

Ali Bloxsome vs Jamie Anderson

Otto Hammerschmidt vs Wez Blooze
It seems i've started a trend of wrestling booker avatars! :D

[Tigerkinney]

UEW World Title
Joey Beauchamp vs Michael Moodie

The Breeze wont drop the belt yet

Don Henderson vs Stig Svensson

'McLugar's' not big enough of a star in Europe, to be anything other than talent trade job fodder.

Inky the Squid vs Sergei Kalashnov

Inky at best is someone who can go after the Nations or Tag Titles, where as Kalashnov has the potential to be in the World Title mix.

UEW Nations Title
Geoff Borne vs Maxx

Routine defence for Borne

Ali Bloxsome vs Jamie Anderson

You've said that Bloxsome is on a win streak, so I expect that to continue

Otto Hammerschmidt vs Wez Blooze

User character, scores another win.

Ooh, well spotted. Will have to sort that...

[Marcel Fromage]

UEW World Title
Joey Beauchamp vs Michael Moodie
Mr Cool breeze isn't losing to Mr over the hill.

Interestingly or not...Beauchamp is the one labelled past his prime at the game start, not Moodie. :eek:

[Phantom Stranger]

Interestingly or not...Beauchamp is the one labelled past his prime at the game start, not Moodie. :eek:

Yeah, I got that in my (admittedly much further-on) ROF game. But I figure even there he has some years to give.

[FlameSnoopy]

UEW World Title
Joey Beauchamp vs Michael Moodie
-Beuchamp retains, nothing special here.

Don Henderson vs Stig Svensson
-Either you give Svensson a win over Henderson, who isn't (?) on your regular roster, or then you give Henderson a long Europe winning streak.

Inky the Squid vs Sergei Kalashnov
-This is more of a hope. I hope that you push Inky the Squid (Boy) as he is one of my personal favorites :) So a flash pinfall or something.

UEW Nations Title
Geoff Borne vs Maxx
-Man Maxx suxx's. Borne is a potential star of your UEW, and I hope he has a mid long reign to begin with, then to take on the tag titles or even the UEW World title.

Ali Bloxsome vs Jamie Anderson
-Bloxsome's old oh yeah, but Anderson.. As said in his profile, he just doesn't have the "x-factor".

Otto Hammerschmidt vs Wez Blooze
-I really don't remember who was Hammerschmidt so I just guess that Blooze is gonna win.

ooc...

By the way, I'm only putting up predictions for the final show of each month. The other 3 shows are really just minor shows aimed at grabbing a bit of popularity and testing out chemistry.

Bloxsome as a character would probably work better for EWA

Joey FTW, although I love the Demolition Druid.

Sergei Kalashnov vs Stig Svensson
Cool, baby.

UEW Tag Team Titles
The Devil & The Beast (C) vs Nigerian Hit Squad
Champion's advantaghe over admittedly impressive experience.

UEW Nations Title
Geoff Borne (C) vs Inky the Squid
I'm going to predict a win for the champ, as Inky, while good, hasn't got much more upside than Geoff.

Michael Moodie vs Wez Blooze
Because I mark for Razor Valentine.

Don Henderson vs Otto Hammerschmidt
So, you can put over your talent, or someone else's. Don will train, and lose, and come back again later.

[Tigerkinney]

UEW World Title
Joey Beauchamp (C) vs Ali Bloxsome

Joey Breezes through another title defence.

Sergei Kalashnov vs Stig Svensson

Dragomack's reasons for choosing Stig would hold firm, if (a) Kalashnov didn't just have a win and (b) was also a face, and in my opinion Kalashnov would provide the better match up for Joey. Mind you whoever loses is bound to get a title shot eventually.


UEW Tag Team Titles
The Devil & The Beast (C) vs Nigerian Hit Squad

Pleasantly surprised to see a tag title defence, especially as you said you would be putting the division on the backburner. NHS aren't that great, but Devil & Beast suck worse, so I think you might go for the title change, might as well move the NHS up the waiting list.

UEW Nations Title
Geoff Borne (C) vs Inky the Squid

Another title change, as I think Inky however marginal can bring more to the title than Borne.

Michael Moodie vs Wez Blooze

I'll just give the edge to Moodie as you don't appear to be giving your user character a mega push.

Don Henderson vs Otto Hammerschmidt

Don finally gets that elusive win in UEW

Joey Beauchamp (C) vs Ali Bloxsome vs Sergei Kalashnov

Beauchamp retains by pinning Bloxsome, essentially eliminating the Druid from the Title picture for now.

UEW Nations Title
Inky the Squid (C) vs Geoff Borne

Can't see Inky dropping the belt straight back to Borne.

Michael Moodie vs Stig Svensson

Could go either way but Moodie had his title shot a few shows back and Svensson is yet to have his.

Jamie Anderson vs Otto Hammerschmidt

Anderson will be rewarded with his good showings in losing efforts with a win over UCR's resident glorified jobber.

Beast Bantom vs Rahabad Lawal

Lawal gets the win to press claims for another shot at the tag titles.

Jason O'Conner vs Wez Blooze

Giving your user character a win over one of the lower-carders.

Inky retains, as you're not really pushing your user character at the moment.

The NHS have been dominated so far by their rivals but I just have a feeling they'll come through this time and win the titles.

Ali's had a shots at the title and the Stig is yet to have his.

Geoff Borne vs Michael Moodie

I see the experience edge of Moodie counting for something in this one.

Jason O'Conner vs Otto Hammerschmidt

Both of them are desperate for a win but O'Conner's a bit more talented/got more potential.
