Here’s a more comprehensive roster from my ROH game. Overness in parenthesis. This is as of May 12, 2010.

WILDFIRE:

Main Event Faces:

Bryan Danielson (95)
Colt Cabana (96)
CM Punk (88)

NOTE: I just acquired Punk from the WWE and stuck him straight into a feud with Chris Hero for the World title he’s been holding since February. I will probably put Punk over for the title here, but that depends on how over he is by the time the blow off match comes around.

Main Event Heels:

Chris Hero (100)
Lash Leroux (100)

NOTE: Colt Cabana and Lash Leroux shared great success when they debuted together as a tag team called Goof Troop. They were the ROH World Tag champs from May of 2009 to September of 2009, but they split up the same night they dropped the titles to The Backseat Boyz when Lash Leroux ‘snapped’ and turned on Colt Cabana. Leroux went on to for a stable called Serious Business (a direct jab at the previous Goof Troop name) featuring Kid Kash,, Judas Mesias, and Lisa Moretti (who is surprisingly over somehow).

Upper Midcard Faces:

Andrew Martin (86)
Carlito (98)
Eddie Kingson (95)
Joey Ryan (90)
Nigel McGuiness (96)
Tyler Black (91)

NOTE: Tyler Black split form the Age of the Fall about a year ago and turned face. A tag team with Joey Ryan (who is getting over with ‘That 70’s Guy’ as a gimmick SOMEHOW) was formed called Time Warp. Every time they are in a match against The Backseat Boyz, they turn out at least four and a half stars, usually five. I think those matches are what helped get both Time Warp and the Backseats so over. Andrew Martin was a random hire whom I’ve done pretty much nothing with besides tag him with Sean Morley a couple times. The big story here is Carlito. He’s fresh off a feud with Chris Hero for the World title, and he got pretty fucking over during it. Those two put on great matches together. I only used him because I needed a face to feud with Hero until Punk showed up, but now Carlito is a full ten points more over than Punk. Not really sure where I want to go with him now, but apparently, the sky’s the limit.

Upper Midcard Heels:

Johnny Kashmere (96)
Kid Kash (88)
Sonjay Dutt (89)
Trent Acid (96)

NOTE: The Backseats are currently feuding with Colt Cabana and Nigel McGuinness over what should be the Tag Class title feud, but Time Warp snatched those titles in a three way. Few heels in this position will probably bode well for Sonjay Dutt, who has been a stellar performer ever since I hired him, most notably in a feud with Evan Bourne over the Top of the Class title before Bourne’s 16 month knee injury.

Midcard Faces:

None

Midcard Heels:

Judas Mesias (70)

Face Openers:

DJ Gabriel (48)

NOTE: Gabriel is fresh out of the development league and looks poised for success (85 Brawl, 70 Speed, 68 Technical), and he is being managed by Lucy Gold. The only problem is nobody wants to job to someone so NOT over. A lot of people will probably be upset by his push, but we’ll see how that pans out.

***

ADRENALINE:

Main Event Faces:

Alex Shelley (98)
Austin Aries (99)
Jay Briscoe (86)
Roderick Strong (100)

NOTE: I tend to have a big problem with keeping people interesting who lack charisma. Roderick Strong, Austin Aries, and Jay Briscoe are all SUPER talented, but I don’t really know how to make them entertaining in angles and they often get used as cannon fodder to those who can work the mic. They still remain over based on their ring work, though. Alex Shelley is the total package. He can go in the ring and he’s charismatic as hell.

Main Event Heels:

Claudio Castagnoli (98)
Joey Matthews (96)
John Morrison (96)

NOTE: Morrison has been on fire ever since I hired him, and he is representing Adrenaline as its Top of the Class champion. I plan on keeping the title on him for a very long time. He had a great feud with Alex Shelley to catapult him to the main event. Claudio Castagnoli is basically ROH’s most over sidekick. A loose affiliation with Chris Hero (The Kings of Wrestling) remains intact, even though they are on opposite sides of the brand split. He’s always a solid go-to when Hero is feuding and I don’t want to blow a match on TV. He also makes for a fine guest referee. Eventually, I’d like to turn him on Hero and have them feud, but not for quite some time. Matthews is basically playing the same role for Morrison on the same show in random MNM reunions.

Upper Midcard Faces:

Evan Bourne (95)
Juventud Guerrera (85)
Sean Morley (87)

NOTE: This is a weak spot as Evan Bourne is still out for 8 more months with a knee injury. Juvi had been placed in a tag team with Mistico, but I didn’t notice that Mistico had stopped touring Japan while I had him on an open contract, and he was signed to a written contract with TNA while I wasn’t paying attention. Sean Morley was one of the driving forces of my shows when I first started this game, as I had him as a face authority figure, but he has long since become not very useful with all the stars I have now being able to wrestle circles around him. His morale is pretty low and I don’t really have plans for him, but he’s a good guy to have in the locker room, so I might just make him a manager or use him for commentary (like I have with Eric Bischoff).

Upper Midcard Heels:

DH Smith (100)
Jimmy Jacobs (94)
Kafu (100)
Mark Briscoe (89)

NOTE: DH Smith and Kafu are the World tag champs in a team called The Wrecking Crew. They work incredibly well together and have had great matches with pretty much every tag team on the roster, past and present. With Emma Gellar as their mouth piece, they can be champs for as long as they want. I’m looking for suitable opposition to them, but I really don’t have it on this show. Jimmy Jacobs still is the had of The Age of the Fall, but it now consists of himself, Necro Butcher, Mark Briscoe, and Kevin Steen. They haven’t done much of note besides a brief Top of the Class title reign (pre-roster split) for Jimmy Jacobs and a Tough Man title reign for Necro Butcher. They seem happy to job, though, and I’m sure I’ll push Jacobs again some day. Well, maybe not. Who knows.

Midcard Faces:

Ayako Hamada (75)
JTG (72)
Shad Gaspard (70)
Shark Boy (73)

NOTE: Ayako Hamada is a Mexican female, apparently, but she’s got some decent all around skills and a fair amount of charisma. I’m attempting to push her as an Equality Fighter (sort of like a non gross Chyna), but ironically enough, not many men are willing to job to her simply based on the fact that she’s a woman. I will try her out for a little while longer and she how over she can really get. I’d really hate to just make her a manager when she has so much talent, but maybe that’s just a woman’s place. I hired Cryme Tyme just to fill out the tag ranks on this show, and Shark Boy is the most jobbingest jobber in all of Jobbstown. His morale his low, but when I ask if he wants to leave, he says no because the industry is in a shitty place. He’s my slave, basically, and I will continue to job him to up and comers until he has finally had enough and bails.

Midcard Heels:

Devon Storm (69)
EZ Money (64)
Kevin Steen (84)
Necro Butcher (88)

NOTE: Devon Storm and EZ Money are an up and coming tag team by the name of Money Storm. I look to feud them with Cryme Tyme soon. Steen and Butcher are both Age of the Fall members.

Lower Midcard Faces:
Consequences Creed (54)

NOTE: Fresh out of development, he’s poised for success, but I will have to have him beat Shark Boy forty one times first.

Lower Midcard Heels:

None

Face Openers:

Jonny C (57)

NOTE: Also fresh out of development, the young British worker is very charismatic and a good brawler, but I’m not sure if he’s good enough all around to match up with the top of the roster. I thought it would be funny to give him a rapper gimmick (John Cena, Jonny C, close enough) and play it for laughs just to see what happens.

****

IN DEVELOPMENT:

Arik Cannon (34)
Brent Albright (69)
Charlie Maiden (59)
Fred La Merveille (32)
Hak Stevens (42) (A homegrown talent)
Human Tornado (29)
Jaden Jeter (54)
Jagged (27)
Jake Hager (37) ( Jack Swagger)
Joker (33)
Kaos (65)
Kenny Dykstra (63)
Matt Cappotelli (62)
PAC (43)
Ricky Reyes (51)
Shingo Takagi (47)
Shocker (50)
The Amazing Darkstone (41)
TJ Wilson (40)
Vanessa (20)

I’ve been making money forever now, so the goal has gone from financial stability, to remaining number one. I’ve got well over 66 million dollars now, so I can sign whoever the fuck I want and do whatever the fuck I want and still turn about a 9 million dollar profit every month. I really didn’t want to do the roster split, but I have way too many guys who are way too over, and if I don’t do it this way, I’ll definitely forget about some people. As far as development, even though some people could shine right now, I don’t pull them to the main roster until they have absolutely maxed out their potential.

I can’t believe I just wrote all of this out.
