Hey everyone, it’s Blake, welcome and to episode No. 21 of our Exploring the CVerse Series in TEW 2020. This is ACPW: All Canada Pro Wrestling.
If you’ve not checked out the series before, check out all the videos we’ve had thus far looking at all the starting companies in TEW 2020. We will continue to do this series through all of them.
There will be companies that come into the game as you progress, but we are going to look at all the starting companies to give everybody an idea of some tips that you could have going into starting some of these saves and just some insight into where these promotions stand in the game to start off with.
So, let’s talk about All Canada Pro Wrestling, our first tiny company I think we’ve gotten to. But hey, we’ve gotten this far in the series, so that was inevitable.
They begin 24th ranked in the world, so even though they’re tiny size-wise, still ranked 24th in the world ahead of many of the other kinds of small promotions we looked at so far. Twenty-five thousand dollars, that’s not a lot of money, but 52 momentum and 28 prestige.
Now, if we look at the size, you do start off as 30 in Quebec and to achieve 35 popularity, you just have to get to 35. That’s not that far of a place to go, so you at least got that to start with knowing that you’re probably getting close to that point of hitting small. What does that open up for the company? That’s maybe kind of one of those where it’s not as intimidating as some of these other others we looked at when you have these really long paths to get to the next size. You can do it pretty quickly with ACPW if you put on the right shows and grow your company there with some good ratings.
Let’s talk about the company itself…
