I'm not sure Nakamura can acclimate to the WWE style and retain his charisma and swag. AJ Styles would be perfect though. The TNAMecca posts

Sign AJ. Investigate reDRagon. Ignore NJPW guys; there are more than enough workers we can sign to be jobbers that don't have far superior offers with other promotions that will affect their availability. Plus IIRC none of those 3 options speak English so if they're ever going to go anywhere above the lowest rung they'll need to play manager roulette to find someone with chemistry and that's a huge pain in the rear end.

We have sent written contracts to AJ Styles, Kevin Nash and Nakamura. We have the option of rescinding any of them if we want to go a different way.William Regal posted:I've traveled the world to scout talent for the company and these are my short notes on the wrestlers that the board asked to investigate: Game lore: I hacked in PPA deals for Ricochet and Brian Cage at the beginning of the game, with the notion that the RAW swerve would entail a one-episode Lucha Underground invasion, but their low popularity and the fact that we have so many permanent roster workers to put on TV took them out of the running. If we decide not to hire one or both of them, their contracts will be cancelled with no detriment to us.

Are The Young Bucks not an option or do they just not want to come to WWE? If you can get them and reDragon on board it could instantly inject life into a stagnant tag division.

Tamina's surgery has been deemed a complete success and her recovery time has been knocked down to 2 months, 1 week. *e - Zack Ryder's surgery was also successful and he should be back in 3 months, 2 weeks (if he's still employed) Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Jan 25, 2015 |

If you book Nakamura consistently then he should eventually get beyond the language barrier. Just performing helps him, but that means any segments that he is in on live television will be affected in by his language barrier.

Since we don't have to vote on Noam Dar, I vote we sign Ricochet and Chuckie T since it looks like the game considers them the best prospects for our purposes. We don't want to go TOO overboard with hires for now.

Basic Chunnel posted:Vince was shown a picture of the Young Bucks and he spontaneously ripped a phone book in half. The Bucks are a no go. I'll look into reDragon, though. Our tag division is definitely in need, as we'll discuss. Would it be worth it to take a look at T-Hawk and Eita? They are incredibly young/would be unknown/Japanese, but you could probably sock them away in NXT for a few years and they could really bolster the division.

I love the Bucks as much as any self-respecting indie geek, but the WWE style would basically neuter everything they do well and turn them into a heel version of the Usos. They'd get to do maybe one of their big spots per PPV match, if that. reDRagon would be a much better fit, but Kyle's not very good on the mic and Fish is getting up there in age so as much as I love them I'm not sure if they'd be particularly good prospects for WWE either.

Does Total Divas exist in this universe? I'd like to make an effortpost about legitimizing the Divas division, but I need to know the answer to that because my Steps 1 and 2 are basically "Fire Cameron/Eva/Rosa into the sun" and "dump the Total Divas/Raw crossover angles."

No network means we aren't slowly killing our own company, so that's something. Hire Prince Puma, AKA Ricochet, for sure. Hopefully we can get some matches between him and Sami Zayne/Adrian Neville down the line. I bet he can fly like 20 feet into the air to take a swiss death too.

Real option: Does SHIMMER/SHINE/whatever exist in this universe? Can we raid them for some talent? Oh yeah, dumpster that butterfly belt and go get a real belt out of Madusa's garbage can.

Basic Chunnel posted:Total Divas does not exist and neither does the Network. But we are hard-up for female workers right now Alright, then. WWE women's wrestling is in arguably the biggest rut of its history. A division that once gave us the memorable Trish/Lita rivalry and let Chyna pal around with the boys as an equal is now reduced to a joke, a "bathroom break" between the more important men's matches. It shouldn't have to be this way, though -- while WWE has always catered to the young male demographic, alienating half of the population is, as one of our board members might say, not best for business. We can and should have female superstars with the kind of star power that keeps hardcore fans hooked while drawing the casual fans' interest. Fortunately, some of those stars already exist in-house. AJ Lee is the most popular female star on the roster, while Paige is an extremely talented up-and-comer who's been hampered by poor booking in recent months. You also have Natalya, Naomi and the Bella twins as inconsistent but reliable midcarders. And if you're looking for a diamond in the rough, there's a certain Aussie lady who's paid enough dues for a certain incident and deserves another chance. If you're trying to find a way to book these women that makes fans take them seriously after years of Divas shenanigans, look no further than your own development system. NXT gets a lot of things right, but their treatment of the women's division deserves particular accolades. By taking their feuds seriously and giving them ample time on TV, the NXT women have produced multiple Match of the Night candidates and built up fan favorites like Charlotte, Sasha Banks and Bayley. Having said that, there is a bit of a looming problem with the NXT women. By having the aforementioned three and Becky Lynch engaged in more or less the same storylines, NXT runs the risk of making things stale. An infusion of young talent on TV, whether it be from the indies or temporary appearances from the likes of Naomi, would do wonders for the product. You have the opportunity to build fresh feuds and matches, call up main-roster-ready women like Charlotte and Banks, and still maintain the high quality on NXT that fans have come to expect. Speaking of the main roster, it's time to cut the chaff. Cameron, Eva Marie and Rosa Mendes have long since hit their ceilings, and that ceiling is "barely watchable." While they might have been semi-useful if we were to ever launch a cable reality show, they are an anchor dragging the entire Divas roster down. Wish them well in their future endeavors, push the women with more upside, and you should see a noticeable improvement. As a side note, I propose we retire the Divas butterfly belt and bring back the WWE Women's Championship. If we want fans to take women's wrestling seriously, we have to take it seriously ourselves. There is a steep uphill climb towards legitimizing the Divas division in the eyes of the core viewers while drawing in new potential viewers. However, we have the resources and talent to make it happen. The only question is whether we want to make it happen. It's 2015 and women have spending power. Pull the trigger and open up a new demographic.

My two cents on ladies wrestling: What Benne said, but make sure to bring up several good wrestlers together. Feeding good wrestlers one by one into the terrible meatgrinder of the division is a good way to waste them. Maybe some form of invasion angle? Also, how does the game map things like MMA? Could we make a play, for example, for big female MMA stars?
