"Creative Has Something For You" Thread

[Rayelek]

Playing USPW, I brought in a handful of young guys to hunt for tag chemistry and came up with a huge whiff. I don't really wanna fire them, even though they're on PPA, because they're guys I like, but its left me so heel heavy having 7 lower card guys at heel just to grind for tag chem that its bugging me. Of these guys, assuming I don't make any tag teams, what do I do with:

James "Mainstream" Hernandez
Nelson Callum
Davis Wayne Newton
Steven Parker
Matt Hocking
Darryl Devine
Kirk Jameson

I also have Roderick Remus on the roster playing a mysterious face named Ashton LeBlanc but I'm not really sure if I want to go anywhere with him or leave him as a jobber.

Had a bunch of guys like that in my TCW game. Talented. Young. Bland as all holy hell. Ended up firing most, but a few survived solely because I brought in Christian Faith. Faith needed sidekicks, so I put 4 of them under masks as his 'Archangels'. Basically jobbers, but gaining experience. Eventually I'll demask them, when I get individual ideas.

Or, how about putting a bunch of them in a Round Robin tournament? Everyone fights everyone. Winners keeps his job.

Or, rip off NXT. Take some main eventers. Give them a rookie each. Let the rookie develop a personality similar to, or directly opposite of, their pro.

Or, take Davis Wayne, Nelson Callum and Steven Parker. Book them as triplets. Do the Bella twins switcheroo thing.

I have an idea for you, Rayelek. How about you pull the "super genius" bit off of Wile E. Coyote and give it to Matt Hocking? Mix the shades he already wears with some professor clothes and have him trying to double talk circles around everybody. Make him the ultimate case of being too cool for school, Start him off messing with the lower card and have him start having more trouble with the gamesmanship as he scales the roster. Maybe try to confuse guys who are on their way out the door. Guys like Captain USA and Anger don't strike me as people who got to the top by being particularly brainy.

No problem Flame, glad that you like what I had to say considering I have been looking at this thread for a while and haven't really given a shot to responding to people until I saw your post. I will be interested to hear how it turns out so if you could keep me posted that would be great.

It depends on how you book USPW as a whole. If you stay true to the 1980s nostalgia aspect of it you can fire anyone that's under middleweight and focus on what you have left, but if you book it differently then Id suggest just keeping the best of them (DWN, Parker, Hernandez, maybe Devine) to improve the workrate of the undercard (a weak spot for USPWs official roster) and fire the rest of them.

As for Roderick, it depends again on how you book USPW. If you go by the Cornellverse then he really wouldn't make it far there anyway, but if you go by your own rules then look at his skills. If he's justifiably good enough to be semi-important at the expense of another worker who could potentially do better in the same position (which you'd have if you kept the best out of your failed tag acts) , then push him. If not, leave him as enhancement talent.

Playing as MAW, I need some ideas for Jay Chord to keep him away from the title picture (as our current champ is also heel).

He won the 2010 RCI but failed to get the title off of AmPat.

Most faces in MAW are the starter faces. It is now Jul 2010 and I need ideas. Any questions just ask.

Thanks

Jay starts going off on one about how this company is going to be his some day, and he doesn't want any chaff making him look bad. Therefore, he's going to start testing people to see if they're worthy of a slot. He starts going after your Faces, easily beating the undercard, resorting to dastardly trickery to beat guys you have a bit more confidence in. Then you find a guy you're willing to let him feud with, and Jay wrestles him and can't just take him out, and bails from the ring or gets himself DQ'd to get away. He then refuses to acknowledge the victory as he wasn't pinned or forced to submit, and the Face keeps chasing him, demanding a rematch, trying to get a clean victory because Chord won't give him any respect otherwise.

Love it. Thanks.

I had a great storyline for Jay that I think you could use, if you're not going to go with the above idea. In my MAW game a bit ago, I had a year long storyline where Jay Chord was constantly chasing but could not beat Jared Johnson. You could use whoever in your case. JJ was the champion in this case, and Jay couldn't beat him. Chord finally got the title off of him in a fatal 4way match, but immediately lost it back in a 1 on 1 match because he couldn't beat him. That sort of thing could easily run for a while and intertwine with other feuds if you want to use both guys.

Jared just debuted and Im slow building him up (He's currently helping Findlay hold onto our midcard title against Knuckles). However when Jared inevitably hits the Main Event this sounds like an awesome storyline.

I have a question for people and I thought that this thread was probably the best one for a question like this.

Anyways, I am doing a save with CGC currently in June 2011 and my popularity is growing at a rapid rate (I am close to being national and I will be by the end of 2011/start of 2012 at the latest) I have only been doing shows in British Columbia (Something that I didn't do in my dynasty) This is only the second time I have ever played as CGC (Outside of the dynasty I did with them a while back).

Anyways my question is this, once I get to national my plan is to try to get a B show and I am wondering what I should call the new show.

Thanks
(Again I wasnt sure where to post this but I thought this was the best thread to do so because it does involve being "creative" in coming up with show names (as I usually am not). So creative what do you have for me?

What is CGC's Main Show called again?

because you could call it Canadian Silver Combat TV or Silver TV or something like that.

[TakerNGN74]

CGC's main show is called CGC Title Bout Wrestling

Astil, I took your suggestion as I just hit National in August 2011 (First time I have ever been able to hit national with any company as I believe its the hardest size increase to make) I called the show Canadian Silver Television. Thanks for the suggestion man.

Curious as to how other people retire their workers. Do you always have them retire as a face? Do you retire them only to bring them back for a match in a couple of years? Do you try to get them injured so that they are permanently retired? Put them in a non wrestling role? Have them fight less skilled workers during the pre-show? Release them from their contract?

If you can list three different people who you retired in different ways. One scenario I have coming up is a Heel winning the title then losing a Mania and retiring.

My second retirement retirement situation is for Trish. Mickie James is my current champion and she was penciled to face Lita at Summer Slam it was already advanced booked. I thought of a new idea at the last minute. Lita doesn't show up and then in a couple of months appears on Smackdown. She will then defeat who the Smackdown Divas Champion is by January. Become the first to hold both titles and then retire when she loses to once friend Christy Hemme at Mania.

Also for Summer Slam Trish will come in to replace Lita. Match will end in a no contest because Beth Phoenix will debut and attack. Trish will then get written off for 6 weeks so I can turn her face. Then I was thinking of having Beth win the title and lose to Trish at Mania and then Trish retires 7 time champ. Only problem is I feel it's too similar to what I'm doing with Lita and also might ruin Beth's momentum.

The other idea I had was to have Lita and Trish vs. Beth & Victoria at Mania. But would anyone have any ideas how to structure that storyline from now till (August 2006 to March 2007) Mania time. I'd prefer for both to be champion in that match.

Probably not the most popular idea, but how about using them as a jobber stable? I personally could never imagine young guys making it in USPW due to the amount of big names and older talent. So how about having Darryl lead these guys in an attempt to "take over," and get rid of the older guys. But when Darryl tries to, he realizes that he's in way over his head.

But don't let Darryl look weak. He should really embrace the whole leadership thing, using the young talent as his pawns. Eventually, you can pick out which 2 or 3 you believe have the most potential, and then form a serious 3 man group from there. I'd probably do Darryl and the tag team of Parker and Hernandez as the core of the group. Basically, have these three guys progress their careers by having them manipulate the other four into hurting themselves and their careers.

In the end, Darryl will come out looking like a dick head tyrant who rises to power by sacrificing some of the industry's best young talent. Meanwhile, Hernandez and Parker get taken along for a somewhat pleasant ride although they're mostly Darryl's cannon fodder. You could either have them remain brainwashed, or have them grow sick of Darryl's empty promises.
