Pleasantly surprised with how well The Outsiders v Taker & Kane went given how poorly rated a lot of the TV angles had started becoming, Hall & Nash's last night in the company too as some areas of the card are in need of freshening up going forward. Bit underwhelmed with Tag Title match but none of the 3 teams are quite over enough, hopefully sorted by the Summer. TV Title feud has got Angle over, will head toward U.S Title right away. Not a fan of multi-man Main Events but wanted to try something different, it may have been the easiest feud I've booked as all 4 guys are on fire and none have any issues putting the others over. The card came together just as I was heading into Survivor Series which is later than I usually have it, not something I want to repeat heading toward WrestleMania XVII (X-Seven pal!).

Agreed, I have pretty much zero interest in booking the 2000s. Longest save I've had was on TEW 2016, 1985 game and I got to 2007 but didnt have much interest in what I was booking. My main competition is actually CMLL, their 2nd in the world, very healthy financially and are the only company to offer contracts to my guys when renegotiating. Their roster also is a who's who of guys I used to use, as evidenced by the current reigning Mexican National Trios Champions of John Kronus, The Ultimate Warrior & Lex Luger. Good idea, I might also try a JCP/WCW save, or try a 1980 or 1983 database. I tend to figure a plan for next years WrestleMania, which I have now, so might stick with this one through that, but with some time off work for the holidays imminent, jumping into an 80s save is far more appealing.

I bought WCW in Nov 98 (which in the game grew out of Mid-South), had bought JCP in Oct 89 & AWA in May 93. The Triple Crown is those 3 World Titles with the Big Gold belt used on TV and keeping the NWA World Title lineage. On TV, the newly turned heel Vince McMahon (also new head of the nWo) created the Triple Crown to represent his ultimate accomplishment of buying out the territories. The Deadly Game tournament was upcoming and Vince wanted the WWF Title & Triple Crown in the nWo under his control, but Commissioner Dusty Rhodes announced it would be decided fairly at Survivor Series 98 where Vince's ally Randy Savage would face The Giant. At Survivor Series, Savage beat The Giant whilst Vince's nWo Champion was revealed to be The Rock who won the Deadly Game tournament, screwing over Shawn Michaels (who TV angles led viewers to believe was Vince's choice) with the help of HHH who turned on HBK, leaving DX for the nWo. The celebratory first Raw of 1999 at the Georgia Dome turned sour as the undefeated Goldberg returned from hiatus to defeat Savage for the Triple Crown, then won the Royal Rumble. But at Mania XV the nWo got revenge when The Outsiders helped Bret Hart take the Triple Crown from Goldberg. I dont like 2nd World Titles but my rosters quite bloated at the moment and am toying with the idea of either relaunching Nitro or debuting Smackdown (but no brand split) to spread things out a little, but too many TV shows usually ruin my enthusiasm. WWF Championship will always be priority and Main Event PPVs, so it's a work in progress as I fight temptation to start yet another new 1985 game 😬

McMahon turned the now former WCW PPV into WWF Starrcade 98 and used it as a celebratory evening for his year, which turned sour as the undefeated Goldberg returned from his hiatus to defeat Savage for the Triple Crown. ** Unified with the Cruiserweight Title at WWF Halloween Havoc 1998.

I second this. Have ground many of my saves to a halt by keeping guys around and sticking them in a fued just so they have something to do. Let them go. Once they're gone, you won't think about them.

Unfortunately Vader got hurt in the U.S Title match, hence the lower than expected rating. Interesting 1997 ahead.
