WWF - Now in March 1992; 3 weeks before WrestleMania VIII WWF Heavyweight Title: Randy Savage - 3rd Reign (def. The Undertaker at WWF Tuesday In Texas, December 1991) WWF Intercontinental Title: Ricky Steamboat - 3rd Reign (def. Shawn Michaels at WWF Royal Rumble, January 1992) WWF Tag Team Titles: Demolition; Ax & Smash - 2nd Reign (def. The Hollywood Blonds; Steve Austin & Brian Pillman at WWF Superstars Tapings, December 1991) WWF 1992 Royal Rumble Match: Mr Perfect, 2nd Win

Scratch that. January 1991 was a disaster. I tape 4 episodes of Superstars & 4 episodes of Challenge in the first week of the month. Immediately after doing soz WWF Champion Rick Rude us caught in a Scandal and deemed toxic. Vacated the title, let him go, and held up the belt in the Rumble. Mr Perfect drops the IC Title to Bret in the rejigged undercard to free him up to win the Rumble & WWF Title. Of course he then gets injured while doing so, out a month with a tricep injury...when it rains it pours. So WWF Champion Mr Perfect Vs Randy Savage is now my 3rd planned WrestleMania VII main event. Game definitely not boring.

WWF 1985 - Now in January 1991 WWF Heavyweight Champion - Rick Rude Rude lost the title at WrestleMania VI to The Ultimate Warrior. Plan was he'd get it back late in 1990 on route to losing it to Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VII.....but in June of 1990 Hogan decided to try his hand at politics (lawl) and disappeared for a year with no warning leaving his fued with Sid Justice dead in the water just after it started. So I turned Randy Savage babyface for the first time in the 5 years I've had him, Rude took the title back from Warrior at SummerSlam'90 and entered a fued with Savage with a match of the year candidate at the 1990 Survivor Series where Rude's manager Paul E cost Savage the match. Rude set to defend against mega babyface (and fresh out rehab for a 2nd time) The Texas Tornado at the 1991 Royal Rumble then drop it to Savage in their rematch at WrestleMania VII in LA. WWF Intercontinental Champion - Mr Perfect Hennig has held the title for the better part of 2 years, dropping for a short period twice. Currently using him to elevate Bret Hart with him dropping the Belt to Bret at WrestleMania VII then be involved in Main Events. Bret will be the IC staple for the next while. Perfect scheduled to defend the title at the Rumble against newly turned babyface Razor Ramon which is more of a step in Ramon's fued with Ted Dibiase than anything. WWF Tag Team Champions - The Midnight Express (Eaton & Lane) Regained the Titles from the Rockers at Survivor Series 1990 and will drop them at WrestleMania VII to The Steiners. Set to defend against The Legion Of Doom at the Rumble to forward LODs year long fued with Demolition. Meanwhile The Rockers are working with Paul E's heel British Bulldogs who are bickering with Davey about to turn face and Sports Entertain with Dynamite at WrestleMania VII, The Rockers probably will split around SummerSlam 1991.

Played multiple saves of WWF from 1985 in TEW 2016, longest being to 2004. Finally got around to starting one in TEW 2020. Currently in September of 1986. Definitely rediscovered my love of the game with this save. Most notable thing to happen was signing Ric Flair in the late Summer of 85 and abandoning my plans for Hogan vs Orndorff at WrestleMania 2 in favour of Hogan vs Flair. Spent the next 7 months giving him the mega push trying to get his popularity somewhere near Hogan, Piper or Orndorff. Then 6 days before WrestleMania 2, Flair is caught in a drug scandal and is immediately toxic with all that entails. Went ahead with the match as it was pre-booked since the turn of the year and ate a bullet on the match rating, a 79 I think. Thankfully babyface Orndorff vs Piper hit a 100 underneath which helped the show. Fired Flair the next day and rejigged my post Mania plans which were to be Hogan vs The Horsemen (Flair, Arn, Tully & Curt Hennig) to Hogan vs The Dangerous Alliance with the same lineup but switching Flair for the debuting Rick Rude. Rudes finally getting over now, just worked Hogan in a Cage at the Big Event in Toronto and sold it out with 33,000 people. Elsewhere, top fueds are Randy Savage & Orndorff for the IC (Savage held the title since WrestleMania 1 and will continue to do so). Super babyface Kerry Von Erich vs Roddy Piper. The British Bulldogs won the Tag Titles at WrestleMania 2 but had to switch them in an angle with The Hart Foundation 6 weeks later when Dynamite got injured. Also André the Giant is fueding with Adrian Adonis in something of a time killer while I figure out if I want to turn him heel and feed him to Hogan at the end of the year. Company is finally turning a healthy profit every week. First Monday & Tuesday of each month is where I tape 4 episodes of All American Wrestling & Prime Time although just changed to Superstars & Challenge, upgraded the production quality and got a better timeslot. Could finally do away with running the Garden each month for the MSG network. I tend to stick to the schedule WWF ran in real life so currently doing a handful of SNME's a year on NBC but only WrestleMania is a broadcast PPV event. Wrestling Classic was a one off ppv, the Big Event was a one off house show and the King of the Ring is a annual untelevised house show too. Makes me look forward to introducing the Survivor Series next year. Even trying to run the same buildings for events which means the Silverdome isn't far away. Starting to see a drug issue arise mind you. Road Warrior Animal got busted recently and Freddie Blassie (!) died of an OD. Have found the right amount of house shows to do a month that seems to not aggravate things too much. Also recently, took over World Class and using it as a feeder, sent some new signings down there (Rockers, Luger, Honky) while I filter some guys out over the next few months. All in all, having a great time again with the new game and all ready have most of my programs planned through 1988.

Awesome <span class="ipsEmoji">👍</span>, have held off playing the game at all till it's ready to go.

My favourite mod easily. Played 20 years of game time with a few different saves. Hope this goes well mate, hero for doing it 👍

Hey guys, been trying to mix up my usual way of playing by booking monthly TV tapings but best as I can tell, the only ways to do so are to do so under events, make the show 4 hours, format for 4 progressive weeks of TV and have TV broadcasters for airing as opposed to the usual ppv distribution. Alternatively just make your weekly TV show 4 hours, format it as mentioned and then advance through the rest of the month (moving the in game TV day to avoid it). Both require some theatre of the mind obviously but whatever. Anybody else do this or have a better way? Downside seems to be the company and workers will develop at a quarter of the speed I'd imagine. Generally always play a 1985 mod until the early 2000s or so and thought it'd be fun to book TV the way it used to be done then notice the difference when u get to 97 or so and go weekly. Cheers.

For TV shows I usually create an angle like 'Update w/ Gene Okerlund' or 'The Event Centre w/ Sean Mooney', have a host participate in it and fill all the other 7 slots with guys fueding with the idea being over 6 or 7 minutes, the viewer would get a blast of promos like you would back in the day. A good way of keeping fueds bubbling from show to show between standard TV matches. Similarly I'll create the 'SummerSlam Report' or whatever PPV it is for the same effect.
