So, I got the urge to start my River City Wrestling again, but felt a bit overwhelmed trying to resurrect it. In fact the card I was working on had a battle royal as the main event and I couldn't remember where I was going with it. I need to go back about a year and reacquaint myself with the circuit before continuing. Of course its summer and we all know what that can be like. Also, my main "side" project right now is that I am writing a novel. It's just a bucket list item for me and will take me a couple years to finish. I have about 200 pages done already of what will likely be somewhere between 320 and 400 pages. It will still need a lot of editing though as I progress. It's set in the 80's and is a semi-autobiographical, but influenced by Stranger Things/Kids on Bikes genre, just not as much "the world will end" seriousness.
In the meantime I had several other ideas for circuits that I thought might be better to post in the circuit ideas thread, including this one. However, I decided to post it here as I will try to continue it through at least one season.
This circuit is actually the combination of two ideas; one is the circuit itself which I will explain and the second is the desire to play around with ChatGPT. While ChatGPT is amazing, and AI has amazing potential, right now as a tool for what we do it's pretty much awful. I have watched several videos including ones at Wrestling Bios where they have some fun using it to suggest storylines, do dream matches etc, it does not have the ability to "store" information and progress a true federation. It's ability to handle fictional wrestlers is even more limited, in fact it doesn't work at all. I will try and talk about some of those limitations as I post the card results.
ChatGPT also has major issues with even basic facts such as who was a champion of a major fed at a certain point in time. I think it looks for data stores and is overwhelmed by rumours etc, and gives erroneous results. Sometimes you ask it to run a simulation and it tells you it can't do that, so you have to ask a different way. It's answers are overly simplistic and generalized, and not always relevant to the wrestlers in the ring. For example, if you put Rey Mysterio Jt in the ring against Superstar Billy Graham the AI might tell you something like this was a slugfest between two powerful brawlers.
I am going to clean up some of the back and forth with the AI, but if it looks disjointed that is just the difficulty in editing it.
Without further adieu, I give you
Boardwalk Wrestling
It will take place in a fictional New Jersey boardwalk city. Population is around 4,000 but in summer it swells to 10,000 during the week, and as many as 20,000 on the weekends with all the beach traffic. What are some suggestions for the town's name and for the company's name.
AI gave me some simple but good suggestions.
Let's go with Beachwood, New Jersey and Boardwalk Wrestling.
ChatGPT: Great choices! "Beachwood" captures the coastal vibe of your fictional town, and "Boardwalk Wrestling" ties in with the setting and creates an association with the vibrant atmosphere of a boardwalk. It's a catchy and fitting name for your wrestling federation.
Now that you have the names, you can start developing your roster of wrestlers, storylines, championships, and events within the Beachwood Boardwalk Wrestling promotion. Enjoy the process of bringing your wrestling federation to life and creating memorable moments for your audience!.
Me: The owner is a fairly legendary wrestler called Ron Hubbard. He is 52 years old and has wrestled since he was 16. He was a mid-carder in the biggest federations of the world for many years. At 5'10 and stocky/muscular he started for years as a clean cut New Jersey good guy with some good technical skill and submissions in addition to his power. In order to make more money he transformed into "The Jersey Devil" a mysterious, masked, black costumed, brawler and hardcore wrestler. The last 20 years of his career were spent as the devil (mostly a heel) and it took a toll on his body. Hubbard retired last year and moved back to his native Jersey to Beachwood. He has opened up a school where he plans to train wannabe wrestlers starting in January. Then Boardwalk Wrestling will present weekly cards at the local roller rink each Saturday night starting the weekend after the May long weekend and ending the weekend before the September long weekend. Each show will follow house card formats but will utilize in ring promos/interviews as well as a Piper's Pit type segment to hone the students' mic skills.
Ron has a second trainer, his old buddy Juni Shiotani, born in Jersey but spent over 30 years wrestling, mostly in Japan.
Another motivation for Ron to start this endeavour is that his estranged daughter had begun to wrestle last year, but Ron wasn't happy with the training she received as a New York 2nd rate gym. So he has convinced his daughter Angel Hubbard to train again with him and hopefully star in the cards.
Oh, it's the summer of 2000, and while Ron enjoys some hardcore wrestling action, he is a bigger fan of traditional wrestling moves, angles, and interviews. It's the building blocks.
Ron will start with 24 students, 12 males and 12 females (including his daughter). There is a 5% chance each month that each wrestler will drop out for various reasons. There is also a 5% chance that each will get injured any given month. The injuries will be 25% out until after the season ends, 25% out for 4-6 weeks, 25% out 1-4 weeks, and 25% miss only 1 week but have a nagging injury which will limit their in ring ability by as much as half.
Boardwalk may also bring in some experienced local wrestlers, and maybe even some "over the hill" draw names to bring people in to the cards.
ChatGPT than gave me some detailed advice on how to run a fantasy fed which I really didn't need I then asked it to generate 20 male students for me to choose 12 from.
Me: Okay. Give me 20 male students to choose 12 from. Real names (first and last) should be realistic, and can be from a range of ethnicity but proportional to NJ/NY area. Ethnicity. Hometown (most should be from the NJ/NY area, but there can be a few outliers looking for a summer adventure), age should be between 16 and 20, height, weight, general look/characteristic/trait maybe something that sets them apart, on a scale of 1-5 (5 highest) how athletic they seem, and same scale for charisma (mic skills). This is how they start anyway.
ChatGPT gave me a decent run down of 20 students and it was organized pretty well and consistent. Some problems included that all the names were very common names like Rodriguez, Santos, Thompson. Another problem was that all 20 were from the NY/NJ area, none from outside. Instead of trying to change the parameters I thought it would be easier to just choose 12 and then edit some details including names and hometowns. Another problem though, and I have found this with other things I was using ChatGPT for was that it would just end in the middle of an answer. So it stopped in the middle of wrestler #13. I asked it to continue, and the overly polite program apologized and did so, but it started with #14 without finishing #13. I decided to cut only 5 wrestlers and start with 15 instead of my initial request of 12. I told it the numbers of the cuts and asked it to rerun the roster.
This is when I found the next big problem. It could not handle such a request. It only eliminated 3, and not the right ones, and when it reran the roster it not only put them in a new order but actually changed them. After some back and forth questions I found out that since it generated them randomly it could not "lock them down" and with new requests was pretty much just redoing the request. I could kind of lock it down though by just cutting and pasting the ones I wanted on the roster. When it came from me it could lock them down.
I then asked it to give me 15 females to choose from, and frustrated from my earlier experience running the men I chose to just keep all 15 women.
Me: Okay so it's January 10th 2000. First day of training. Ron Hubbard, Juni Shiotani, and Angel Hubbard arrive early that Monday morning to the roller rink. The wrestling company is able to use it during the day Monday-Friday because the rink is only open to the public on the weekends. So training will be intense for 5 days with 2 days off, with mandatory cardio runs on Saturday.
So all 15 females and 15 males that were invited are expected to show up.
There is a 2% chance each person will not show up.
ChatGPT: On January 10th, 2000, the first day of training at Boardwalk Wrestling, Ron Hubbard, Juni Shiotani, and Angel Hubbard gather at the roller rink, ready to kick off the intensive training program. As the day begins, they eagerly await the arrival of the invited wrestlers. However, there is a small chance that some individuals may not show up.
Considering a 2% chance for each wrestler to not show up, let's determine how many wrestlers are present on this first day of training.
Out of the 15 females:
Chance of each female not showing up: 2%
Calculation: 2% of 15 = 0.3
Expected number of females not showing up: 0 or 1
Out of the 15 males:
Chance of each male not showing up: 2%
Calculation: 2% of 15 = 0.3
Expected number of males not showing up: 0 or 1
Given the small probabilities involved, it's reasonable to expect that the majority, if not all, of the invited wrestlers will show up for the first day of training.
I then asked it to generate a list of wrestlers who showed up. All 30 showed up but the names it gave me were new names, it had changed them again (I did not realize yet I had to lock them down). No wrestlers "no showed" at least. However, it actually dropped people to make room for Ron, Juni, and Angel. and I had to specify to put them in a separate category as trainers.
January
Me: Okay so January mostly centers around physical training and building stamina. It's the end of the month. Based on the earlier parameters can you randomly check each wrestler to see if they quit or are injured? Give me a list of injuries and quitters.
ChatGPT gave me 3 injuries and 2 quitters. It was still also having problems locking down the roster. One of the injuries was for long enough I didnt think it was worthwhile keeping him around so had him sent home, while one of the females injured I then turned into a valet. It was still having a hard time with the format for a roster.
February
Me: Okay. February we work hard on the basics of in ring action. Basic moves and submission moves. In ring match psychology will also be started, and mic skills are worked on in the evening in Ron's house setup. In addition to the injuries and quitting lets also add a 2% chance for each wrestler that they will be suspended for personal reasons (drinking, fighting, not paying fees, etc).
Also, at the start of February two kids arrived from California, best friends, high flying 17 year olds. Many objected to them being there late but they paid cash so Ron accepted them. It raises each male wrestlers chances of quitting this month to 3%.
Please use these parameters for injuries, quitting, suspensions, to randomly check each wrestler. Give me a list of those who fall into these categories.
ChatGPT gave me two injuries, 4 quitters, and 2 suspensions. I'm wondering if it is using some sort of cumulative calculation because that is a lot of problems. It was still having a lot of problem with the roster including mixing up males and females.
The two suspended wrestlers I decided to send home. Two of the injured I asked ChatGPT if they showed promise as managers, announcers, or referees. It gave me a generic answer
ChatGPT: Based on their initial training and performance, both Daniel Anderson and Jason Evans show potential to explore roles as managers, announcers, or referees. While their in-ring careers may be temporarily on hold due to injuries, they can contribute to Boardwalk Wrestling in other capacities. Their understanding of the wrestling industry, knowledge of moves and psychology, and overall experience can be utilized effectively in these roles. It would be worth discussing the possibilities with them and assessing their interest in taking on such positions within the organization.
Me: Discuss with them.
ChatGPT: Ron Hubbard sits down with Daniel Anderson and Jason Evans to discuss the potential for them to contribute to Boardwalk Wrestling in alternative roles due to their injuries. He recognizes their knowledge of wrestling moves, psychology, and their overall experience, which could be valuable in roles such as managers, announcers, or referees.
Ron: "Hey, Daniel and Jason, I wanted to talk to you both about the possibility of exploring alternative roles within Boardwalk Wrestling. Unfortunately, your injuries will keep you out of the ring for the time being, but I believe your skills and knowledge can be utilized in other ways. Have you ever considered becoming managers, announcers, or referees?"
Daniel: "I've never really thought about it, but I'm open to exploring different opportunities. I still want to contribute to the wrestling world, even if I can't compete in the ring right now."
Jason: "Yeah, it's disappointing to be sidelined, but I've always had an interest in the storytelling aspect of wrestling. Being a manager or announcer could be an exciting way to stay involved."
Ron: "That's great to hear. Both roles require a deep understanding of the industry, and I believe your experiences can bring a unique perspective. Let's explore the options further and see if either of these roles sparks your interest. We can start with some training and mentoring in these areas to see how well it suits you."
Daniel and Jason express their willingness to explore these alternative roles and are eager to learn and contribute in new ways. With their enthusiasm and knowledge, they begin training and shadowing the current managers, announcers, and referees to gain hands-on experience and refine their skills.
As the months progress, they gradually become more involved in their chosen roles, bringing their own unique personalities and perspectives to the shows, and adding another layer of excitement to the Boardwalk Wrestling experience.
I had kind of thought they would look at their abilities such as charisma but it seemed to ignore that. The answers are vague.
I asked it for ideas of what training to do in March and it spit out a detailed 8 point plan! I'll spare you the bloody details.
March
Me: Okay sounds good. So we run that training program through March and the guys begin to accept the California kids into the group.
Its the end of March and you should check again for quitters 2% chance, injuries as before, and suspensions 2% chance.
Anyone in those categories?
We should at this point also be checking the 3 instructors for injuries.
It gave no quitters, no suspensions, 3 injuries (2 male, 1 female). I decided to turn the female into a valet/manager as well.
April
Me: Okay we run through April training. the last full month. please check again for injuries, quitters, and suspensions as well as when injured wrestlers are able to come back. What happens in April?
ChatGPT: During the month of April, the training program focuses on further refining the in-ring skills, improving match psychology, and enhancing mic skills. The wrestlers work on incorporating the basics they learned earlier into more advanced techniques and sequences. They also engage in simulated matches to practice their storytelling abilities and ring awareness.
Now, let's evaluate the roster for injuries, quitters, suspensions, and the return of previously injured wrestlers:
No quitters or suspensions, there was 1 new injurty.
May
Me: okay so we are May 1st now, less than a month to opening day.
please provide the opening May roster.
Categories
Instructors
Male Wrestlers (healthy)
Female Wrestlers (healthy)
Male Wrestlers (injured)
Female Wrestlers (injured)
Staff (those training to be announcers, valets, managers)
for injuries list when they are expected back, for staff list what they are training to be
Come up with the name for a local radio announcer who will do our play by play and put him in staff, add an outside veteran referee.
beside each wrestlers name put their stats, just on one continuous line
eg)
Hulk Hogan, 30 yrs old, 6'10, 310 lbs., Tampa Bay, Florida. Agile and acrobatic in ring style
then to save room after the traits put their atheltic ability and charisma in brackets
eg (4)(5)
ChatGPT did a decent job with this request.
Besides the 3 instructors it gave me 10 healthy male wrestlers, 11 healthy female wrestlers, 3 injured male wrestlers, 3 injured female wrestlers, 1 valet/manager (it had dropped one I guess), 2 announcer trainees, 1 referee trainee, and 1 veteran referee.
I then asked it to generate a list of show dates based on my earlier parameters.
ChatGPT:
Certainly! Based on the parameters you provided earlier, here is a list of show dates for Boardwalk Wrestling:
May 28, 2000
June 4, 2000
June 11, 2000
June 18, 2000
June 25, 2000
July 2, 2000
July 9, 2000
July 16, 2000
July 23, 2000
July 30, 2000
August 6, 2000
August 13, 2000
August 20, 2000
August 27, 2000
September 3, 2000
Me: okay let's do training up to May 15th and then we'll start to plan out first show. So its May 15th, let's do another quit, injury, suspension check at half value so 1% chance.
ChatGPT returned with 2 more injuries, 1 male, 1 female.
Then I asked it to give me another roster list but this time add in a % of how ready the trainers think they are to compete in the ring on May the 28th. I then had more back and forth with ChatGPT about its inability to lockdown rosters.
Me: okay let's start planning storylines etc.
This is the basic plan for May 28th
Juni Shiotani's niece Shizu Yanai is coming over from Japan (does not speak much English so no mic skills) but great in ring 5'5 120 lbs. 32 years old.
There are 2 available "jobbers" who were also prominent in the indy scene.
male ; Gerald Long 6'1 228 lbs, brawler/technician, excellent mic skills, a natural heal, wrestles mostly as Bayonet Henderson, Staten Island, NY, 40 yrs old
male; Darcy Ross 6'4 230 lbs., former high flyer but now at 38 yrs old is relegated to be more of a brawler/technician, has rudimentary mic skills, and can be either a face or heel. Wrestles as Chopper Taylor from Wellsboro, PA
Finally, a local boy is being brought in male; Danny Danielson 5'10 171 lbs., , a high flyer, 20 years old, has only wrestled for 2 years but has done so full time in Mexico under lucha libre as El Jardinero. He doesnt speak on the mic because he is portraying a Mexican lucha libre
It then gave me a revised roster.
Me; The May 28th show needs a name. Should play on the location, beach, boardwalk, jersey devil, the fact that it is a new start etc. please present 8 names to choose from for the event.
ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are eight potential names for the May 28th show that incorporate elements like the location, beach, boardwalk, Jersey Devil, and the idea of a fresh start:
"Beach Brawl: The Devil's Revival"
"Boardwalk Rumble: Rising Tides"
"New Jersey Showdown: Sand, Surf, and Slam"
"Devil's Dominion: Wrestling on the Boardwalk"
"Coastal Clash: Resurrecting Legends"
"Beachwood Battle: Unleashing the Jersey Devil"
"Shoreline Slamfest: A New Beginning"
"Boardwalk Blitz: Legends Return to the Ring"
Feel free to choose the one that resonates the most with the spirit of the event!
Me: Boardwalk Rumble: Rising Tides
We then did the same thing with names of titles.
I decided to go with King of the Boardwalk, Queen of the Boardwalk (top singles titles)
Boardwalk Tag Team Championships (men), Beachwood Tag Team Championships (women)
Next post will be about the first card.
In the meantime I had several other ideas for circuits that I thought might be better to post in the circuit ideas thread, including this one. However, I decided to post it here as I will try to continue it through at least one season.
This circuit is actually the combination of two ideas; one is the circuit itself which I will explain and the second is the desire to play around with ChatGPT.

March
Me: Okay sounds good. So we run that training program through March and the guys begin to accept the California kids into the group.
Its the end of March and you should check again for quitters 2% chance, injuries as before, and suspensions 2% chance.
Anyone in those categories?
We should at this point also be checking the 3 instructors for injuries.
It gave no quitters, no suspensions, 3 injuries (2 male, 1 female). I decided to turn the female into a valet/manager as well.
April
Me: Okay we run through April training. the last full month. please check again for injuries, quitters, and suspensions as well as when injured wrestlers are able to come back. What happens in April?
ChatGPT: During the month of April, the training program focuses on further refining the in-ring skills, improving match psychology, and enhancing mic skills. The wrestlers work on incorporating the basics they learned earlier into more advanced techniques and sequences. They also engage in simulated matches to practice their storytelling abilities and ring awareness.
Now, let's evaluate the roster for injuries, quitters, suspensions, and the return of previously injured wrestlers:
No quitters or suspensions, there was 1 new injurty.
May
Me: okay so we are May 1st now, less than a month to opening day.
please provide the opening May roster.
Categories
Instructors
Male Wrestlers (healthy)
Female Wrestlers (healthy)
Male Wrestlers (injured)
Female Wrestlers (injured)
Staff (those training to be announcers, valets, managers)
for injuries list when they are expected back, for staff list what they are training to be
Come up with the name for a local radio announcer who will do our play by play and put him in staff, add an outside veteran referee.
beside each wrestlers name put their stats, just on one continuous line
eg)
Hulk Hogan, 30 yrs old, 6'10, 310 lbs., Tampa Bay, Florida. Agile and acrobatic in ring style
then to save room after the traits put their atheltic ability and charisma in brackets
eg (4)(5)
ChatGPT did a decent job with this request.
Besides the 3 instructors it gave me 10 healthy male wrestlers, 11 healthy female wrestlers, 3 injured male wrestlers, 3 injured female wrestlers, 1 valet/manager (it had dropped one I guess), 2 announcer trainees, 1 referee trainee, and 1 veteran referee.
I then asked it to generate a list of show dates based on my earlier parameters.
ChatGPT:
Certainly! Based on the parameters you provided earlier, here is a list of show dates for Boardwalk Wrestling:
May 28, 2000
June 4, 2000
June 11, 2000
June 18, 2000

August 6, 2000
August 13, 2000
August 20, 2000
August 27, 2000
September 3, 2000
Me: okay let's do training up to May 15th and then we'll start to plan out first show. So its May 15th, let's do another quit, injury, suspension check at half value so 1% chance.
ChatGPT returned with 2 more injuries, 1 male, 1 female.
Then I asked it to give me another roster list but this time add in a % of how ready the trainers think they are to compete in the ring on May the 28th. I then had more back and forth with ChatGPT about its inability to lockdown rosters.
Me: okay let's start planning storylines etc.
This is the basic plan for May 28th
Juni Shiotani's niece Shizu Yanai is coming over from Japan (does not speak much English so no mic skills) but great in ring 5'5 120 lbs. 32 years old.
There are 2 available "jobbers" who were also prominent in the indy scene.
male ; Gerald Long 6'1 228 lbs, brawler/technician, excellent mic skills, a natural heal, wrestles mostly as Bayonet Henderson, Staten Island, NY, 40 yrs old
male; Darcy Ross 6'4 230 lbs., former high flyer but now at 38 yrs old is relegated to be more of a brawler/technician, has rudimentary mic skills, and can be either a face or heel. Wrestles as Chopper Taylor from Wellsboro, PA
Finally, a local boy is being brought in male; Danny Danielson 5'10 171 lbs., , a high flyer, 20 years old, has only wrestled for 2 years but has done so full time in Mexico under lucha libre as El Jardinero. He doesnt speak on the mic because he is portraying a Mexican lucha libre
It then gave me a revised roster.
Me; The May 28th show needs a name. Should play on the location, beach, boardwalk, jersey devil, the fact that it is a new start etc. please present 8 names to choose from for the event.
ChatGPT: Certainly! Here are eight potential names for the May 28th show that incorporate elements like the location, beach, boardwalk, Jersey Devil, and the idea of a fresh start:
"Beach Brawl: The Devil's Revival"
"Boardwalk Rumble: Rising Tides"
"New Jersey Showdown: Sand, Surf, and Slam"
"Devil's Dominion: Wrestling on the Boardwalk"
"Coastal Clash: Resurrecting Legends"
"Beachwood Battle: Unleashing the Jersey Devil"
"Shoreline Slamfest: A New Beginning"
"Boardwalk Blitz: Legends Return to the Ring"
Feel free to choose the one that resonates the most with the spirit of the event!
Me: Boardwalk Rumble: Rising Tides
We then did the same thing with names of titles.
I decided to go with King of the Boardwalk, Queen of the Boardwalk (top singles titles)
Boardwalk Tag Team Championships (men), Beachwood Tag Team Championships (women)
Next post will be about the first card.
