    RVD recommended Brian Pillman Jr to me. He is a solid prospect, but I signed him more to appease Van Dam, who wasn't happy he dropped the title. Still, at 250 PPA, Pillman Jr has solid skills and potential.

    So I have run into a bit of an issue that I did not foresee. The women who were WWE castoffs (and Taya) have become some of my most popular wrestlers. The men on the roster are upset and some are refusing to work with the women. Once I can sign enough talent I plan on putting in a women's division. For now I will continue to book the women against the men who won't throw fits (shout out to Carlito) and introduce a Women's Title to give the women who are getting hosed something to do. As such, some more hires are coming.

    August

    OVW News
    To start building the women's division I have signed Naomi (Who will wrestle under the name Trinity) Paige Turner (Middle American indipendant mainstay who uses a librarian/lawyer gimmick) Laura James (Mrs. Joey Ryan) Zeda Zhang (Chinese wrestler who had a few matches in NXT and was in the first Mae Young Classic) Princesa Sugehit (masked CMLL mainstay and Mae Young Classic competitor) Kris Wolf (YouTube personality, former Stardom wrestler and all around pleasant gal) Gabby Ortiz (ROH wrestler trained by Punishment Martinez) and Hikaru Shida (Japanese wrestler who was a long time competitor in Ice Ribbon). I am also looking at bringing in Nia Jax, who I was surprised to see WWE let go. With the exception of Naomi, none of the girls cost more than 800 a show. I also reworked the contracts of the few wrestlers who had a downside guarantee, so now I only have to pay talent I use, saving me on my wage bill.

    Major Title Changes
    Gran Metalik defeated Buddy Murphy for the CW Title at SummerSlam.
    Also of note, Nikki Cross (Smackdown Women's Champion) challenged Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Title. Ronda retained, but it will be interesting to see where the show specific titles go from here as the Raw Tag Team Titles were not defend on the show.
    Matt Taven defeated Jeff Cobb for the ROH TV Title at Death Before Dishonor.
    Tomohiro Ishii claimed the G1 Climax Title.
    Nick Jackson won PWG's BOLA 2019. He was a last minute entrant after Matt tore his MCL a few weeks before the show.

    World News
    Lucha Underground rose to Cult size.
    Vince Russo was named head booker of PAW. Way to doom them before they even start.
    AJPW released twenty wrestlers over the course of the month before declaring they were at war with every company in Japan. Get your popcorn ready.
    In addition to Naomi, TJP and Viktor of Ascension fame also left WWE.
    A week before Naomi was fired, she and Jimmy Uso divorced.
    Mike Bailey and Veda Scott broke up.
    Taeler Hendrix was arrested for assaulting a police officer.
    Bob Holly opened his own wrestling school, The School of Holly.
    Masakatsu Funaki was inducted into the Hall of Immortals.

    September

    OVW News
    The Women's Division is still going forward now that Naomi, now known as Trinity, is officially signed. A lot of the low card women will be local one night hires until I can turn a profit. 9 months of operating at a loss takes its toll, but gates and merchandise revenue are increasing.
    ESPN was pleased with the initial show and decided to buyout the remaining four shows I could potentially air on Powerbomb.TV.

    Major Title Changes
    Jay Briscoe defeated Jeff Cobb to win the ROH Survival of the Fittest Tournament.

    World News
    With New Japan being in their 'off-season' they took to signing a fair number of talent to written deals. Most of those who they signed were guy who worked for other Japanese promotions.
    The Mighty(TM-61), Jaxson Ryker, and Danny Burch were promoted to the main roster.
    Current NXT and former Impact referee Rudy Charles died at age 41 in a car accident.
    Aja Kong, The Sandman, Dalip Singh (Khali), El Canek, Scott Steiner, Shane Douglas, Sabu, and Raven were all inducted into the Hall of Immortals.

    October

    OVW News
    Popularity is increasing, but otherwise there were no major news stories for me in October.
    All US based promotions sized Regional and lower now view me as a competitor. LU does as all, but ROH and Impact have not told me they hate me yet.

    Major Title Changes
    Ruby Riott defeated Ronda Rousey at TLC to win the Raw Women's Title.
    AOP defeated The Bar at TLC to win the Smackdown Tag Titles.
    Eric Rowan defeated Rusev on Main Event the week before TLC to win the US Title.
    Trey Miguel defeated Taiji Ishimori to win the X Division Title on the second Impact show of the month.
    Gedo defeated Chris Jericho on the first night of NJPW's tour to win the IWGP Intercontinental Title. On the first weekend show of the tour Tama Tonga defeated Gedo to take the title.
    Jushin Liger and Tiger Mask defeated The Prestige on the second night of the tour to win the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Titles.
    Dalton Castle defeated Matt Taven for the ROH World Television Title.

    World News
    Rhyno, Titus O'Neil, and Buddy Murphy are gone from WWE. WWE declined to renew their contracts.
    Les Thatcher passed away at age 78.
    Vampiro and Simon Grimm (Simon Gotch) were involved in a fight at a LU taping. I like to imagine Grimm throwing sodas at Vampiro and Vampiro deflecting them with his farts.
    Ivelisse started dating Tama Tonga.
    JoJo and Bray Wyatt broke up. That certainly was a crazy trip.
    Lady Shani suffered a broken vertebrae in a match while working for AAA. Recovery time is at least fifteen months.
    Candice LaRae gave birth. Word on the street is that Baby Wrestling is one tough cupcake.

    Post Show Notes
    872 of 1000 tickets were sold. Their were no 900 seat venues, but projected ticket sales were 865 and I'd rather have one empty section in a 1000 seat stadium as opposed to turning away over 100 people from a 750 seat venue.
    Popularity increased in the usual 18 regions.
    Rhino was on a one night only contract. I'd like to bring him in on a full time basis, but he wants to take time off following his WWE release.
    Aaron Stevens was off his game again. He is developing a reputation for not being motivated for lower card matches.
    Pac was pointed at as a good example. He was pleased.
    Rhino and Bailey were complimented on good performances. Rhino seemed pleased and Bailey thanked me.

    OVW News
    Obviously you all saw I signed Becky Lynch. Not sure why WWE has let so many female talents go, but they are providing me with solid in ring hands and popular acts.
    The Batista deal cost me a fair chunk of change, but so far he has been worth it. Merch sales are up and ESPN is already talking an improved deal in the future.
    Christopher Daniels reached out to me for a job. He would be a great guy to have so I brought him on. His skill set is a bit weird. He wanted to be a face but his ratings for heel characters were higher in all areas but comedy. So OVW gonna bring in Curry Man!
    Rhino and Epico were also signed. Epico will wrestle under his real name, Orlando Colon.
    It did have its drawback financially. KENTA and Akira Tozawa were both let go. They both preferred to wrestle in Japan and I'm not gonna keep them here and them be unhappy.
    I also shook up my commentary table. Taz was only temporary hire, so I made the call to put Hurricane at the table. He will call the action completely in character.

    Major Title Changes
    Golden Lovers defeated Jushin Liger and Tiger Mask to win the NJPW Super Junior Tag Team Tournament.
    Jay Lehtal defeated Cody and Silas Young to win the vacant ROH World Title.
    Jake Crist defeated Desmond Xavier and Trey Miguel to win the X Division Title.

    World News
    The biggest news. WWE fired The Undertaker. Not a contract expiry, not a retirement, but a full fledged firing.
    Noam Dar also left WWE.
    Tino Sabbatelli and Roderick Strong were called up. Kyle O'Reilly is the only member of UE left in NXT.
    Ice Ribbon and ASW-UK both rose to regional size.
    Aiden English divorced Shaul Guerrero. He was the whitest of the Guerrero family, so he will be missed at Thanksgiving.
    Frankie Kazarian tore his Achilles Tendon completely off the bone. He is out at least a year, hence the ROH Title being vacated.
    A UK based female, Bacardi, suffered a herniated disc when she was hit by a car while jogging. She is out at least 14 months.
    Tatsumi Fujinami was inducted into the Hall of Immortals.
