Miller was tiring
* Gains for Prichard (Rumble), Dennis Hall (Perform), AmGlad (Rumble), Dromo (Perform), Ratamyas (perform), Ito (perform), JJ Barr (perform),
Larry Sharpe (Flying)
* Ito was used far too much. St. John & Sword were used too much.
* Ito autopushed to Lower Midcarder the day of the card, I swear. Bullshit like this - coupled with the "dear god not THIS shit again" interface,
make it real tough to keep playing TEW. Ito's momentum has gone from D to E+ through zero fucking fault of my own. And for that matter, I did
NOT overuse Bryan St. John according to the push-to-screen-time chart either. Sword, yeah, he was an Opener and I took a chance and used him
for 8 minutes instead of 7. Maybe I need to autopush the night of the card instead of the day of the card. And how the fuck long are you
supposed to use Occasional Wrestlers? Not to mention everytime I autopush if I'm not extremely careful I end up with fucking Personalities
collecting pay even though I didn't use them. TEW's interface makes even obtuse clusterfucks like Dwarf Fortress and Fruity Loops look good
by comparison. </rant>
Tues, week 1, April 1984
* Iranian Assassin will work through Bar Fight Injuries suffered in his match against Bobby Eaton last night
* Dory Funk Jr. & Wahoo McDaniel win the Crockett Cup tourney in MACW
* Looks like I'll run 3 shows a month, with a slow climb ahead of me to catch up to ICW, the lone fed in South East that isn't friendly to me.
Probably should have grabbed Ronnie Garvin on PPA when I had the chance. Poffo & Savage won't go because of loyalty to their dad, and Ratamyas is, well,
their #4 guy, if that. Maybe I should have jumped to GLOW when the job was open.

that it was unproffesional, I'll do better in the future."
* El Mongol's momentum goes from E to D. Not too shabby, but not quite awesome either.
* Gimmick roll call: El Mongol has a C now. Why TEW doesn't inform you of changes to gimmick rating upon debut or turn, but only for gimmick ratings

needed to go National. They also are clear of the 'D- in all areas' requirement with Hawaii alone in last place with D. In Tri-State they have managed
a B-, even better than their home region South East, a C+. With All Japan "on the side" Orndorff is probably wise to focus on the promotion where he
