>>149283102nd one I played the Sheik in Japan.
Did an inaugeral title tournament where the I put over big dimes Chess Maniac in the finale.
I'd build babyfaces up strong for a week or two before feeding them to Chess Maniac, which had the added benefit of saving me money by limiting Chess Maniac's shows.
I formed a faction with Big Boss Emperor and Goro Hatamoto.
I put Prowler and Shadow in a faction led by Maniac Monster, with Dreadnought, that I called ARSON.
Diamond Furosawa was my first big time babyface, but after I had him job a couple of times I didn't know what to do with him.
I gave Beetle Kimura my secondary belt.
I tried to put Saneatsu Shigemitsu over with a mentor gimmick, but that dude fucking sucks, so I brought in Barry Griffin, with Iron Hyodo as his lackey, to job him out and take over the gimmick. In their match Barry gave Shigemitsu a torn quad KWAB I wasn't going to use him any more anyways.
I had Fujisaki (who landed a Legendary martial arts gimmick) team with Hasekura, and Takuro Awatari to feud with my stable and get some midcard babyfaces over.
Yuki Horigoshi is a star but I couldn't figure out what to do with him.
I had Yuta Isono lurk around the bottom of the card beating jobbers and cutting promos.
I didn't know if I was going to be able to keep paying Chess Maniac long term, so I brought in Taheiji Konoe as my monster babyface with the intent for him to brutalize everyone, beat Chess Maniac, then drop it to me in a dirty finish. After a few weeks I still didn't want to switch the belt because Chess Maniac is drawing the house and I'm still eeking by okay, so I built up Brother Yoshitaka to go for the belt, and had Konoe get attacked by ARSON.
For my last show I wanted to pop the ratings, without hotshotting, so I had Yuta Isono cuck Brother Yoshitaka, and get the titleshot, so they could have a kino match. While Konoe finished his feud with ARSON by picking them off.
By the end of the demo we were actually profitable, if only barely.
