I've seen similar information floating around. With the storyline of contracts expiring in 28 days at the beginning, it'll void most of the real world info. I will, however, be updating the AOL/Time Warner contracts with your info, so I appreciate that.

That's the kind of challenge I'm aiming for. Opted to start with January 2001, since Bischoff was in the process of trying to purchase for a few months. I think the Big Bang PPV scheduled in May was a result of what WCW was turning into. With this alternate timeline, WCW may or may not have that event. Regarding the negotiation, I wanted a financial challenge also, so lowering his negotiation skills down help. Nice find, Hashasheen. Currently, the contracts are set to expire at the end of 2001, I may adjust them with this information.

<div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Next Wednesday</strong></span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> The contract drafted up by Jamie is exactly what we discussed. He's included details of the AOL Time Warner contracts; dear God they are three, maybe 4 times the amount they should be, and guaranteed money. What was I....well I wasn't. Let's be honest. We were the number one show and it was war. It's still war. The AOL Time Warner contracts include:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Bill Goldberg</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Scott Steiner</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Kevin Nash</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Ric Flair</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Sting</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Dallas Page</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Lex Luger</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Buff Bagwell</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Rey Mysterio, Jr</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> Most of these guys are the most well-known wrestlers in the world. Without them, I'd be starting from nothing, so picking up their contracts is one of the only ways this works. As for everyone else, AOL Time Warner will inform everyone of a 30-day notice upon this deal being finalized. This is going to be about 75 workers chasing me down wanting to know what their future holds. I don't have time for sitting here wondering what will happen next, because a step two doesn't happen until I've signed this contract. It's official. I now have to get in touch with the networks. We have 5 days to get our asses in gear for Monday Nitro, and I don't plan on being late.</span></span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Game Info</strong></span></span><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;">:</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> * WCW's starting money was altered to $0, to reflect the Buyout story told.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> * Due to Bischoff's success in purchasing WCW, I increased starting prestige and momentum by 10%. I also reduced negative relationships with Bischoff for any active WCW worker by 1 level, since Bischoff essentially "saved them". There was no one with a hatred level in WCW, though I did reduce a few Dislikes to Simmering Tensions, and a few Simmering Tensions to no relationship at all.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> * While I will begin January 2001 the way WCW did, fresh off Starrcade 2000, I aim to quickly resolve all storylines and begin with my own ideas after WCW Sin. Going in a different direction right out of the gate feels too much like a "reset", which is not what I want.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> * Holy crap, everyone's contract expires in 28 days. This will be fun. I've also lowered Bischoff's negotiation skill to 2, to show some sort of resemblance to the overpaying culture in WCW.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"><span style="font-size:12px;"> * The AOL/Time Warner contracts picked up were altered to end January 2002. I also used what the game said those workers were worth per month, and tripled it, since these contracts in real life were gigantic.</span></span></p>

Ink, you continue to do a fantastic job here. The match write ups are great and not overkill, giving just enough to satisfy the ongoing story and a little bit more. Love love love it.

Loving this, Leo. Keep it up!

I mistyped his name multiple times when typing it out, so you're not alone.

4 Days Later http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/2001/People/Eric%20Bischoff%202k1.jpghttp://tew.levinuxgaming.com/2001/People/USA%20Exec.jpg Bischoff: Hello? McCumber: Mr. Bischoff, this is Chris McCumber, President of Entertainment with USA Network. I just spilled my coffee. Bischoff: Mr. McCumber, so good to hear from you. McCumber: As you know, your situation is not a good one, but I think I have an option where USA Network can help you. Bischoff: That's great! We have... McCumber: I don't mean to interrupt, Mr. Bischoff, but allow me to finish. You see, when the WWF pulled their flagship show off USA and went to TNN this past fall, it hurt our entertainment offerings. I have been searching for a replacement; not necessarily wrestling, but a replacement none-the-less. So, I want to offer one option to you, and one option only Mr. Bischoff. We will provide you with five hours of TV programming every week, to cover WCW's 3 TV shows. This contract will allow us to offer you a prime time time slot on Monday and Thursday, and an evening slot on Saturday. This contract will also allow USA Network to move your time slot if we feel you are not meeting our expectations. Lastly, this is not a long-term deal. If you can manage to acquire WCW, your contract for each show will be 1 year. At the end of that year, we can choose to move on if we find your programming to not be up to our standard. Bischoff: Mr. McCumber, this is fantastic. Thank you, sir, thank you. I hope to get back with you within the next week or two. It was a reach, contacting USA Network. Quite honestly, I didn't expect them to get back to me. It's a leap of faith like this that will keep WCW in business. Now, I have to get back to Jamie Kellner with AOL/Time Warner, and I have just the idea that may put me in play...

I just started a WCW 2001 game that I'll probably play well past 2020's release. Not sure what I'll do with 2020 yet.

2 Days Later... http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/2001/People/Eric%20Bischoff%202k1.jpg I've had several conversations with Fusient Media Ventures and my contacts there, and we're going to approach things from a different avenue. What does Vince have that I don't have? Money. If I can find a way to get the support I need for TV and PPV, and still have the funds to satisfy what AOL is looking for, I think I may have a shot. With this in mind, I've managed to strike a PPV deal with Adelphia in the US. Their reach isn't as far as Time Warner, but it's 1 platform. I also have calls out to a broadcaster in Canada and Mexico and I'm expecting to hear back from them this week. I've also been considering these contracts. This roster is overloaded, with many being paid way too much. I am the root cause of that, I know, but now that Turner is pulling the plug, it's doing more damage than good. If I can find a way to hit the reset button, and make it make sense to AOL Time Warner...

http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/2001/Logo/WCW.png I've seen the writing on the wall for a while. Everything started changing in late 1998, when Vince Russo began having more power in WCW. I saw things going down, as did many others who fled to the WWF before push came to shove. It was in early 2000 that I began thinking of a way to save this sinking ship; my passion. Every avenue lead to a dead end. Recently, I've been working with Fusient Media Ventures to try and purchase WCW from AOL Time Warner. Jamie Kellner isn't one for patience, and we've already had about 3 offers turned down. It wasn't until recently that I discovered that things were more dire than I thought. http://tew.levinuxgaming.com/2001/People/Eric%20Bischoff%202k1.jpghttp://tew.levinuxgaming.com/2001/People/Hulk%20Hogan%202K.jpg Bischoff: Terry, how are you? Hogan: Well Eric, I'm doing alright, all things considered. Bischoff: I know. We had a great idea. Fortunately, Russo isn't around. Hogan: From what I've been hearing, no one over there will be around much longer, Brother. Bischoff: I'm doing what I can, but these AOL Time Warner executives have no experience with this type of product. I've come to them with everything I can think of, and they've turned everything down. Hogan: Well, Brother, not to add to it, but I'm hearing from up north that Vince has sent feelers to AOL Time Warner and it doesn't look good. Bischoff: I knew Vince would get his grimy hands involved. I'm out of ideas, Terry. Hogan: Keep at it, Eric. You'll come up with something. Bischoff: Thanks, Terry. Vince is at it already! He can't resist himself. He's trying to buy WCW out from under me. But what does Vince have that I'm not offering? AOL Time Warner won't have any involvement in WCW after it's sale, so it can't be that. I need to make some calls..

You an set a narrative for it, yeah.

Loving the back and forth story here.

Ah, this is fantastic.

Honestly, me too. If I can set everyone's potential to 'Random' and turn on game variance, the screw job would be 9 years into the game. Plennnnnnty of time for fun

Pat Patterson was the WWF booker (I think). I hadn't realised this beforehand, so I edited Vince McMahon's booking ability and reputation to 100%, added a new player as Vince McMahon as a booker then left the game. So he's now owner and booker in my game.<p> </p><p> It definitely makes the WWF much stronger. I also make title changes less frequent, make McMahon prefer workers with "charisma" rather than "look" so guys across the board with charisma and look like Hogan, Warrior, Hart, Michaels get the pushes and titles rather than guys like "The Warlord" or "Barbarian". I sometimes do jump in as McMahon to take titles off workers like Bushwhacker Luke as intercontinental champion. I'm finding I'm having to do this far less when I make all the above changes though. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Great suggestions!</p>
