Niiiice. Just stick them in matches with MCMG or someone similar and they will get super over on match quality alone. Looking forward to them taking over the tag division

8 - Rick Steiner has suffered a neck injury. He's done for 8 months.
Too many injuries for my liking. Luckily no big namers. Not pleased with the Kevin Nash loss, but it was something I had expected. Hence why I had MCMG split away from him early on. Liking the Kaz/Shelley stuff, as well as Low Ki. Little displeased with how the Briscoe Brothers video went, but they'll get over soon I'm sure. Originally planned on them cheating beat MCMG in their debut, but MCMG would have none of that. Oh well, Shelley's leaving on the 12th, but I'm still not happy with him being in ROH. It's like as if I'm making their top star for them!

Haha, yea. I had Sabin, Shelley, McGuinness, and Danielson on open deal for a long time in my game. They were all in the 90's in overness, they were also all in another organization that was mysteriously gaining image by the handful each week.
SIXTEEN MONTH injury?! Gosh. Sucks for Hoyt.
Looks like Rick Steiners career may be over. He retired in mid 08 in my game.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind too many retirements or contracts running out because there's a lot of young blood I wanna grab now. Some of which I've already conjured up big plans for! Still, I think I'll worry about getting my 2nd show (on FOX), and moving up to Global for now...

Feud Update:
Sting/Kurt Angle (current heat: 92)
- Look for this one to end at Against All Odds. Plan on having Jarret step up to Angle next.
Jay Lethal/Kaz (52)
- Forget the low heat, it was the same when him and Daniels started out. Kaz will have to turn for this one, so expect a possible title switch early on.
LAX/AMW (82)
- Again, this one will likely find conclusion at Against All Odds. LAX are rolling, so they'll probably retain again and move on. It was nice to have AMW back, but the future has arrived in TNA, and the future is LAX!
-/- (-)
- Reserving this spot for Sting and Jericho. Ohyeah, it's coming, I'd advise you to prepare.
Samoa Joe/Christian Cage (97)
- Teased it a little bit here and there, so this should come as no shocker. Was hoping I could save it for the world title, but that's meant to be be apparently. It'll be great nonetheless though, I'm sure. Also, BOTH these guys were at the top of 100 Workers list, so expect something special!
Low Ki/AJ Styles (93)
- Decided to go with it all this time instead of just reckless brawling, like I did when I chose Abyss /Raven. Though they were both in my top 5 faces/heel, which they still are, it's nice to get some wrestling on the show.
I signed Kaz and Low Ki both to written contracts, since they're going to be getting a lot more TV time now. Cage still won't budge, and AMW is the same, but they're all 100 morale, so I'm good. Another thing, Cage has joined Jericho in the 100 Overness Club! Sweeet!!!

I'll try to finish out January sometime tomorrow, but I can't promise anything. It may be until late Monday, or even Tuesday that I can get around to it. However, I feel like laying out some plans for you all, if only because I can't sleep!
I've been pressuring FOX for a second TV show. I don't want anything prime time right away, but a late evening spot on Tuesday is what I'm fishing for. Going head to head with ECW, and blowing them out would be a great start. Also, with the new show, I'd like to be able to develop some other talent on there. Basically, more feuds! With me going Global, hopefully by March, I plan on opening a development territory as well. Again, my plan is to recreate the 4 Horsemen, but with Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr., Teddy Hart, and Harry Smith. Throw in Nattie Neidhart as a valet, and I see this as gold. Sure, Rhodes and Junior need some time in development, and Hart isn't exactly over with the workers, but it seems like a novel idea to me. Their are also other workers I wouldn't mind getting my hands on: Colt Cabana, Matt Sydal, TJ Wilson, LANCE STORM! Just gonna have to wait though.

Wow...in case anyone's been wondering why my updates have been scarce, expect them to become even fewer now because my game has gone and crashed AGAIN!
I'm so pissed, I can't believe it!
Blah, I'll be back shortly with another new diary. Not sure which promotion, but...whatever

Yes, I decided to just reload everything. This time, I won't be using TNA, and since mostly everyone here uses ROH, I won't be using them either. The 'E would be kinda hard, but with the November update I might use BSE. They're one of my favorite indy promotions so...
