This dumb idea I just came up with 5 minutes ago, causing me to make this account in the first place. I’ve been have a few weeks just looking at forums and decided to do something. I’d use TEW 2020 but I don’t have that.
This will be the free version of JoW because, as you might have gathered, I don’t really spend my money on things like this. Don’t know how long this will go on for, but I hope it’s entertaining for as long as it is. Time to sim the first show!
Edit: will use long term booking for the start, may change as it goes along
Edit 2- Electric Boogaloo: oops looks like there’s only 2 weekly shows in month 1

EXTREME RULES 2022Not doing predictions for now, might start doing that laterMATCH 1- US TITLE MATCH
Jimmy Uso vs Bobby Lashley (c)
That is certainly a good way to open a show, an instant 5* classic from the AI! And guess what? JIMMY USO WINS THE UNITED STATES TITLE. Jimmy now has 3 TITLES to carry around which is insane.MATCH 2- INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCHJohnny Gargano vs Gunther (c)This AI is giving us a treat, because not only is it Gargano vs WA- GUNTHER, but it’s also the start of a Grudge feud between the two! GUNTHER Retains the Intercontiental Title, 4.5* matchMATCH 3- THE VIKING RAIDERS VS THE JUDGEMENT DAY (Balór and Priest)Well this was an odd choice. Heel vs Heel random tag match with no feuds? Well I can assume the game was trying to get The Viking Raiders over because they won, so I hope that actually happens.
The Viking Raiders beat The Judgement Day, 4* match
MATCH 4- ALEXA BLISS VS RHEA RIPLEYAnother Grudge feud! And guess what? It didn’t work with the fans so it got a pitiful 3.25* rating. Well, I hope it gets better as time goes on because this could give some good ratings!Alexa Bliss beat Rhea Ripley, 3.25* matchMATCH 5- JOHN CENA VS SETH ROLLINScena wins lolJohn Cena beats Seth Rollins, 5* match (this also started a feud, but Long John only has one appearance. Oops)MATCH 6- THE STREET PROPHETS VS LEGADO DEL FANTASMAA friendly contest feud between 2 good tag teams sounds pretty good, also the street prophets wonThe Street Prophets beat Legado del Fantasma, 4.25* matchMATCH 7- EDGE AND BETH PHOENIX VS THE MYSTERIOS VS CEDRIC ALEXANDER AND MUSTAFA ALI
Yeah I’m probably not gonna make the matches bold next time, anyways Beth Pheonix is here with Edge, and they win a feudless matchEdge and Beth Phoenix win a 3 way tag match, 4.25*MATCH 8- DREW MCINTYRE VS JEY USOSo. Many. Grudges. Both Uso’s fought on this PPV/PLE, and only one of them won. This feud could go somewhere, hopefully it does, but this is ai we are talking aboutDrew McIntyre beats Jey Uso, 4.75* matchMATCH 9- SMACKDOWN WOMENS EXTREME RULES TITLE MATCHLiv Morgan (c) vs Bianca Belair (RAW-C)oh boy we’ve got a champions feud! This is a better wrestler feud, and a pretty great way to start one. On a random PPV because that’s how JoW starts you off. I see this feud going farLiv Morgan retains the Smackdown Women’s Title against Bianca Belair, 5* matchMAIN EVENT- UNIVERSAL TITLE MATCHRoman Reigns (c) vs Brock Lesnar Dang this ai is more realistic than I thought. This even starts a feud for gods sake THANK YOU VINCENT KINCENT MCMINCENT. roman wins lol
Roman Reigns retains the Universal Title against Brock Lesnar, 5.25* match
OVERALL RATING- 4.5/5
Yep that was a show |

MONDAY NIGHT RAWSeptember Show 1Segment 1- Rey Mysterio goes neutralThis AI better be going somewhere with this, because it’s Rey Mysterio. This show gets weirder as time goes on because it doesn’t seem to like segments that much4.25*Match 1- Drew McIntyre vs Jey Uso Not as good as their last fight, but it’s still good. I get the feeling that this ai cares only about feuds and matches.Drew McIntyre defeats Jey Uso again, 4.25* with plenty of intensitySegment 2- Alexa Bliss and Rhea Ripley- Unlikely PartnersWell this was a bit better than the feud opener. This segment, if you don’t know, consists of generic owner man saying they have to do a tag match against some tag team. We don’t get the see the match and it ends with one turning on the other, in this case Rhea Ripley.4.75*, this is one way to book RAWMatch 2- RAW WOMENS TITLE MATCHBIANCA BELAIR (c) VS LIV MORGAN (SD-C)While personally I would use a segment, this doesn’t seem like too bad of booking on the offset. The match was good, it progressed the feud, and potentially it levels out Liv and Bianca leading up to… CROWN JEWEL? Gods sake, anyways it only does 1 of them things because Liv Morgan now has both Women’s Championships, and the match was 4*, which is somehow one of the less good matches in this save so far. Heck, it only progressed the feud by one solitary point! This AI is burying Bianca right now holy hellLiv Morgan defeats Bianca Belair to win the RAW Womens Championship, 4*MAIN EVENT- WWE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHROMAN REIGNS (c) VS BROCK LESNARI don’t care that the events are good I care that brock lesnar just won. We’re doing this again are we?
brock lesnar beats Roman reigns for the wwe championship in a 4* match. F***s sake.
overall- 4.25*

Do you like segments? If you do this show is for you because holy hell is this booking being oddSomeday Night RAW September Week 2/2 because I’m an idiotSegment 1- Rhea Ripley and Alexa Bliss do a bodybuilding contentThis is definitely a segment that exists. Rhea Ripley wins I guess but I do not care in the slightest
4.25*, use different wrestlers please Segment 2- Drew McIntyre attacks Jey Uso during an interviewHow very heel of you Drew, tis a shame that probably won’t go anywhere. I might have a look at what terrible booking is like soon4.25* Segment 3- Brock Lesnar attacks T-BAR for literally no reasonI’m serious, this didn’t start a feud or anything. Broccoli Lesnar just had a power trip I guess.4.75*, I know I said use different wrestlers but not like thatMAIN EVENT- SMACKDOWN WO- really game- WOMENS CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHYOU KNOW WHO IS FIGHTINGThis uhhhh is uhhhh Bianca wins. They’ve swapped titles with no promos so this might as well be a nothing feud. Yeah I’m gonna experiment with the ai booking styles, maybe even randomise it.
Bianca Belair wins the SD Womens Championship from Liv Morgan, 4* again ANOTHER SEGMENT- GUNTHER KIDNAPS GARGANOHey it’s this feud, that’s pretty neat. Not much to say, so moving along.4.5* matchFINALLY THE LAST SEGMENT- Roman Reigns desecrates Brock’s Family Member’s GraveThis is one way to go into crown jewel, with a 4.25* random segment that barely progresses a feud. This isn’t exactly a bad thing, but it isn’t a good thing.
Overall- 4.25*, still good shows but at what cost? |

A few tips for this from someone who has done similar before and is really enjoying this:
1. When a feud goes beyond it's maximum score (4 I think), it'll go stale and severely hurt interactions between the two wrestlers until ended. It shouldn't be a big deal now but keep an eye out as sometimes the AI let's things too run.
2. Don't be afraid to give the AI a helping hand. Remove matches with random gimmicks (so it doesn't bankrupt you), take advantage of spots on cards left open for your own booking (will encourage the AI to book that wrestler/match more often and keep people happy) and make part-timers lose if you think they should (otherwise you can just lose your WHC for a year). It will 100% try to stack all your titles on a couple wrestlers or play the same match 100 times if given the chance.
3. Battle Royals are amazing if you have 11+ wrestlers without a match and one spot on the card. Improves all of them, often a big boost to the winner too. Book these is you can, although a 5 v 5, 5 v 4 etc. tag match is better if you can make wrestlers fit.
4. Don't worry too much about the 2 weekly shows in your first month. I make the same mistake in 80% of my saves
5. The AI doesn't know show gimmicks, so you'll need to book these yourself. Always book things with match contracts after the AI as otherwise you'll find your Royal Rumble winner's Wrestlemania contract placed in some random rivalry match.
6. Use Managers to make your trades more valuable (if you try), because they're useless to you otherwise (on free)

Use Managers to make your trades more valuable (if you try), because they're useless to you otherwise (on free) Thanks very much! 1. While I haven’t really needed it yet I have been keeping an eye on the feud staleness. It’s sorta instinctual for me. 2. I’ve already experienced the title stacking, and trust me I’m not a fan. I do also sometimes look at what ai promotions do and I’ve seen the 100 match thing too many times it’s not even funny. 3. I am very excited to do a battle royal in this! In general I just love booking rumbles, tournaments, stuff like that. 4. same 5. I gathered that the AI wouldn’t know gimmicks, but somehow it gave the Extreme Rules Bianca vs Liv Morgan match the correct gimmick! That won’t last because the next PPV is Survivor Series (yes, I’ve already done Clown Jewel and plan to rebrand it to King of the Ring like I do in every single save). 6. yeah I’m on free so they are worthless. I plan to use them for NXT Callups to make it more realistic. Glad you like it, because I’m enjoying it quite a bit as well! If I had paid, I’d 100% be using sandbox mode for this (no point in being realistic), but I don’t so whatever. P.S- I may have chosen terrible booking for Clown Jewel for accuracy (assuming vince is still in charge… and 2021 was a fluke) |

2022 CROWN JEWELSAUDI SHOW ALERT 🚨🚨🚨Match 1- Aliyah vs Scarlett
We start off by setting the stage for a “stepping up” feud, one of 2 new feuds. This is the worst match of the save so far at 2.75*, which is a good sign if that is our worst.Aliyah defeats Scarlett, 2.75*Match 2- GOLDBERG vs Kofi KingstonMost realistic booking I’ve ever seen. I swear this game knows things sometimes.Goldburger defeats Kofi Kingston, 4* (points added for realism, points deducted for Goldberg)Match 3- Hit Row vs The Elias FamilyGod dang it game, should’ve called it Family Feud. Anyways, this is a disrespect feud. Neat, it isn’t grudge again. This match was disappointing and this was the last match terrible booking seemed to apply to for some reason. The Elias Family defeat Hit Row, 3*Match 4- US Championship MatchJimmy Uso (c) vs Bobby LashleyOh how I wish this was a feud. Jimmy has 3 championships and only one has been used. I mean I have heard Vince hates Tag Team wrestling but wow The Usos might as well not even be a tag team. Anyways, Jim defends his title Jimmy Uso retains the US Championship against Bobby Lashley, 4.75*Match 5- The Street Profits vs Legado del Fantasma I lied about Vince hating tag teams, because he gave them this nothing feud.The Street Profits defeats Legado del Fantasma, 4*Match 6- Intercontinental Championship MatchGUNTHER (c) vs Johnny GarganoI don’t know what happened while John was kidnapped, but it didn’t help GUNTHER as the lost the IC title in Saudi Arabia. I like both of these guys so I don’t mind who comes on top reallyJohnny Gargano WINS the IC Championship against GUNTHER, 5*Match 7- RAW Women’s Championship MatchLiv Morgan (c) vs Bianca Belair (SD-C)I’d prefer if this gave me a chance to unify the titles, but alas we can’t have that can we? I’ve got a plan for a secondary Women’s championship, it’ll probably the Women’s US/IC title but whatever, back to the feud. Liv Morgan retains, nobody ends with both title and all that changed is who wore which copy/pasted belt.Liv Morgan retains the RAW Women’s Championship against Bianca Belair, 4.5*Match 8- Rhea Ripley vs Alexa BlissWhy is this above the last match? I don’t know, but Amazon Alexa wins again in this low performing feud.Alexa Bliss defeats Rhea Ripley, 3.75*Co-Main- Drew McIntyre vs Jey UsoOk I might have interfered with the outcome of this match, but it made the feud better. Jey Uso wins, but, get this, the heel CHEATED to win! I know preposterous. Normally I don’t put that on the actual thing, let alone on PPV but this is Crown JewelJey Uso cheats to win against Drew McIntyre, 4.25*MAIN EVENT- WWE AND UNIVERSAL TITLE MATCHROMAN REIGNS (c) VS BROCK LESNAR (C)Well, well, well. I won’t unify these titles just yet, but that’s something I might do later down the line. Roman wins lol. They really like to keep that Universal Championship on Roman, this is very Vince booking. (Also I blew off this feud because I’m sick and tired of these 2 fighting)
Roman Reigns beats Brock Lesnar to Win the WWE championship and retain the Universal championship, 5*
Overall that was a show. 4.25* |

Monday Night Raw September 2022 1/4I don’t know why I have the font so bigMatch 1- Street Profits vs Legado del FantasmaThis again. Not much I can really say, it went about the same as the last two matches in this feudThe Steet Profits defeat Legado del Fantasma, 4*Segment- Roman Reigns, Bobby Lashley and Matt Riddle get in a fightSure, I’ll go with this. If the game gives me a chance I might try and turn this into a title feud but I doubt that will happen. 4.25*Match 2- Finn Balor vs AJ StylesYeah I made this a feud because I had space. I’m not going to do this too often, but expect it maybe once an in-game month. This actually kinda disappointed, only being 3.5*Finn Balor defeats AJ Styles, 3.5*Match 3- Alexa Bliss vs Rhea RipleyThis is where I called off this feud, and I’m using it as a qualifier match for the inaugural Women’s US Championship match at Survivor Series. For once, Rhea actually beat Alexa!Rhea Ripley defeats Alexa Bliss, 3.5*Match 4- Aliyah vs ScarlettOh god 1.5*Aliyah defeats Scarlett, 1.5*
Segment- GUNTHER assaults Johnny Gargano off-cameraBack to a good feud. This is more boiling down to “GUNTHER constantly attempts to kill Gargano” and I’m here for it honestly. 4.25*Main Event- Raw Tag Team ChampionshipsThe Usos (c) vs The New Day (Woods and Kingston)Not a feud, not a title change, just another good match
The Usos retain the Raw Tag Team Championships against The New Day, 4.5*
Overall- 3.75* I blame Aliyah and Scarlett |
