[Reserved for Roster]

1. IWGP JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: Time Splitters (Alex Shelley & KUSHIDA) © vs. Gedo & Jado Second easiest match to predict - although i'd like for Shelley to eventually turn on KUSHIDA and join Bullet Club 2. CHAOS (Takashi Iizuka & Toru Yano & Yujiro Takahashi) vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki & Shelton X Benjamin & TAKA Michinoku) Suzuki Gun ichiban! 3. IWGP JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Prince Devitt © vs. Kota Ibushi Seems pretty soon to have Devitt lose, but he should move up to heavyweight pretty soon 4. IWGP TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: TenKoji (Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima) © vs. Muscle Orchestra (Manabu Nakanishi & Strong Man) Transitional title defense, waiting for maybe KES to challenge? 5. NEVER OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Masato Tanaka © vs. Tomohiro Ishii It's big strong boi Ishii time 6. TETSUYA NAITO RETURN MATCH: La Sombra vs. Tetsuya Naito He can't lose his return match, right? 7. IWGP INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP: Shinsuke Nakamura © vs. Lance Archer Should be a banger, but now way Shin loses here 8. Katsuyori Shibata & Hirooki Goto vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi & Yuji Nagata Nagata takes the pinfall, leading to multiple stories possible: Shibata vs. Nagata / Shibata vs. Tana / Shibata&Goto challenging for the tag straps 9. IWGP HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: Kazuchika Okada © vs. Togi Makabe Okadawinslol. Maybe Devitt comes out and challenges him?

Coming up with random Dudleys and their backstories have always been a thing i liked. I plan on introducing sister Beulah as Beulah McGiliDudley, the inly daughter of Big Daddy. Also signed Mark Canterburry as Mack Daddy Dudley in a pimp gimmick. Eventually plan on adding a lot more - the more absurd the better!

Inspired by @Hollywood's ECW 1992 diary, I started a game with ECW in 1992 that has been going on for 3 years in game and has been a blast. I'm gonna try to keep it short but there is a lot of fun things that happened: Story of the ECW championship - Sandman won the inaugural ECW Championship in a tournament. The surfer became more and more badass during his 13 months title reign but it was a brutal feud with (player character) Eddie Gilbert with whom he traded the title that transformed him into The Sandman we know. He got his rotator cuff torn and came back as the cane wielding cigarette smoking man we all love. - He then lost the title to Bob Backlund - yeah you read it right - who had a manical anti-hardcore gimmick, claiming to be the "best world champion in the World". His title reign was cut short three months in by debuting Bobby Eaton (managed by new user character Paul E. Dangerously) Unable to poach Shane Douglas, Eaton became my Franchise of ECW: top rated matches, and good promos (helped by Paul E.) Woman & 911 also joined the fray to become the new Dangerous Alliance. - Eaton enjoyed a cool six months reign feuding with the likes of Sandman and Dreamer, but lost the title to rising star Tarzan Goto. Goto was an absolute BEAST in my game. But it was Eaton who in 1994, just like Shane, won the vacant NWA belt. Paul E then proceeded to declare ECW "EXTREME" - Goto defended the title in Japan against Sabu in a barbed wire match, making the ECW title a World championship. But his short summer reign was cut down by revenging Bobby Eaton in a cage match. Eaton was then usurped by debuting Terry Funk who fought valiantly the Dangerous Alliance and got the title at November to Remember 94. He's currently enjoying a long reign and has battled Eaton, Sabu, a heel-turned "Unchained King Kong" Tarzan Goto and partner & protege Tommy Dreamer. I plan to have him lose the title to Sabu who's scoring 80s performances in each matchs. Story of the TV title - The inaugural TV Champ was Jerry Lynn who won it in a tournament and defended it at every show. He was ultimately upset by rival Lightning Kid (young X-Pac). Their rivalry was an intense one: Lynn won all of their 1-1 bout, they even tagged for a bit, but the Kid upset him at November to Remember 93 with a roll up, scoring his only win so far against Lynn - for the gold. Lynn refused the post match handshake and began to foreshadow a heel turn. - Enters Chris Candido (not originally managed by Tammy who would come later in mid 1994 i think). Candido was brash, arrogant and belittled the Kid. He won the title from him following an "accidental" interference by Lynn who costed the Kid the title. The three way feud intensified and culminated in ECW first ever three way dance where the Kid won the title back. - Post match, Lynn turned on him which led to a title vs. hair match! The Kid won and Jerry Lyn was not seen for a while... But a weird luchador named "El Hombre Enmascarado" appeared at the very next show. Of course, it was Lynn who would cost the Kid the title against Candido. They then had a Loser Leaves match at November to Remember 94, which Lynn won. (Kid's stat were declining FAST due to drug abuse that I couldn't shake off) - Then, Candido was submitted in 3 minutes by Taz at November to Remember 94. The story of Taz is a rich one. Introduced as the Tazmaniac by manager Victor Quinones in a bid to defeat then ECW champion the Sandman, he was a wild beast. Tensions with manager and partners the Headhunters arose quickly as Victor called him "monkey boy". He was handpicked by Dan Severn to face him in a shootfight at ECW's first When Worlds Collided. After the loss, he got slapped by Quinones... And suplexed him on his head. He then went to Japan and trained MMA with Severn - Taz was born and would win a return match against Severn in the summer of 94. Story of the tag title - The tag straps history is one of twist and turns and short reigns. I will stay on recent history: the Pitbulls are the only multiple time champions but have recently been betrayed by manager Francine (whom debuted in jan. 94 and immdiately catapulted the Pitbulls to success). Francine joined Bobby Eaton (told you he was my Shane Douglas) and the feud has been raging, with the involvement of Eaton's best friend Stan Lane. - The Samoan Gangsta Party only won the titles thanks to Eaton's interference. They are currently involve in a 4-1 feud with New Jack after putting his partner Mustafa out of action and turning New Jack babyface. I plan on having them drop the titles due to New Jack's interference but i'm not sure if this will be to Funker & Dreamer (who have great chemistry) or another team. Other stories - The Dudleyz are quite different here. Started as Phineas Henry Dudley (PHD) aka Dennis Knight/Phineas Godwinn, playing a tough farmer boy, Big Don Dudley aka Tony Falk in a FBI-esque italian mobster gimmick, NUCLEAR Dudley (Adam Bomb) the son of Big Daddy Dudley and a nuclear reactor, and Richard Louis Dudley aka Triple H, a blue blood aristocrat who's the bastard son of a french duchess and her stable boy... Big daddy dudley. And Dances with Dudley. At first, Richard refuses to be associated with "freaks" brothers and especially Phineas, claiming they disgusted him. After 6 months of tensions and lossed tag match, they came together battling the Headhunters & the Tazmaniac and formed a bond, eventually winning the tag straps. Tensions arised anew as Richard wanted no weak link and targeted Dances with, whom PHD stood up for. They lost a 5v5 against a FMW team and Dances took the pinfall. He was then beaten down by Richard & Big Don and expelled from the brotherhood - a rift appeared. PHD & Nuclear brought in BOAT BOAT BOAT Dudley (Tugboat/Typhoon), the son of Big Daddy Dudley and the Titanic. He was a huge comedy guy who only knows one word... You guessed it: "BOAT BOAT BOAT!". Richard Louis was furious and wanted the family to become serious. He "found" new brother Big Red Dudley (it's KANE) - a mute giant who was the son of Big Daddy Dudley and an escaped convict. The conflict grew in a 3v3 with two separated camp. It culminated in a 3v3 cage match with the losers having to disband and stop using the name dudley. The baby faces (Boat, Nuclear & PHD) won. Big Don will form a comedy FBI with Little Guido & Big Vito, Big Red is out of a moment, and Richard is taking time off. He will return as Hunter Hearst Helmsley, claiming the name of his mother's father. - Some other fun bits: Raven is debuting as a Tyler Durden-esque anti establishment punk. He enrolled goofy Stevie Richards, lonesome Dances with Dudley after he was expelled from the family (I had "where in the world is Dances with" vignette with him in the snow, in a forrest, in a lake, ...). He also recruted Kimberley Page. Fun fact - DDP cheated on her in game and they divorec, I brought her as a woman scorned who wanted revenge of the world, playing on the real life Raven/DDP friendship. The flock is growing with obsessed fan Dawn Marie having a crush on Stevie. - Eddie Gilbert was "fired" in late 93. I switched up player character to Paul E and pretended Eddie & Tod had a huge argument. I plan on having him return at some point to battle Terry Funk over the world championship - Currently it's april 95 and i still don't have a TV deal due to the product I run. I have 65 pop in tri state and i'm at 25 in New England Great Lakes and Mid Atlantic. i'm slowly climbing by running shows there to rise to Medium Size, but it's and uphill battle. - I also run a very very small women's division. Monster Ripper was NWA Champ under my umbrella and was dethroned by Bull Nakano. Bull has been having banger in ECW since then against the likes of Manami Toyota, Debbie Malenko, Jacqueline and a brutal Barbed Wire Match against Dump Matsumoto. I am planning on introducing a women's championship when I get a TV deal, but it may take a long time - Future plans: Taz is feuding with Paul E/911. Paul E will strip him out of the TV title claiming without TV deal he's the champ of nothing. Taz will debut the FTW belt / Raven is in a feud with Phineas Dudley over Dances - Phineas wants him back but Raven has brainwashed him / Funk will have a mini program with Candido ignited after Tammy slapped the Funker and got spanked in return (EC-Dub! EC-Dub!) / Eaton vs. The Pitbulls will lead to Eaton/Pitbull #2 like in real life / I plan on having Sabu being the first Triple Crown champ - winning the World from Funk and being the first TV champ when I reintroduce the title (when I get a tv deal) It's been the most fun i've had in a game for a long long time. I'm happy to answer your questions if you have any!

STEVE AUSTIN x. Sorry I'm late I just don't give a f**k! Show's comin, thank you for all the predictions, you still have time to log some in

Thanks for your predictions! Typo on my behalf, Axl&Ballz opponents are Bad Crew and not Bad Breed, as Axl Rotten can't clone himself (yet) sorry about that!

Blood feuds, title matches and emotional fights await! ECW World Heayvweight Championship: Steve Austin © vs. The Sandman The Sandman vanquished his ennemies Scorpio & Woman, he reunited with his wife Lori... Next stop is reclaiming "his" ECW World Heavyweight Championship, that he lost via fluke against Mikey Whipwreck in autumn 1995. Waiting for him is seemingly immovable champion Steve Austin. After dispatching of Wrestling Legend and former World champion Terry Funk, Austin opened the next Hardcore TV with a single line: "who's next?". On his quest to show that he is the one true superstar in ECW and elevate the company as a whole, Austin wants the best of the best. Enter Sandman. The beer drinkin' cigarette smokin' singapour cane wavin' entered the ring and blew smoke in Austin's face. Steve Austin laughed and left the ring. During following weeks, Austin berated The Sandman, cutting promos about "this blonde beer drinkin' SOB". He pondered if Sandman wasn't a reflection of himself... Or what he could have been if he had "no work ethic. No gym membership. And no talent.". Sandman caught Austin's attention though. During an episode of Hardcore TV that Austin was commentating, Sandman defeated 9 other men including Terry Funk, Axl Rotten and Rocco Rock in a battle royal to earn a #1 contender status. The two men then got in each others' faces and engaged in a fist fight where Sandman had the upper hand. Now aknowledging Sandman as a "true bad ass", Steve Austin still claimed he was the better wrestler and said he could outwrestle Sandman on any given night. Sandman'w answer was shot straight from the hip: "this isn't WCW where you play touch-butt with Ricky Steamboat and dance around the ring for fifty minutes with Bobby Eaton. This is ECW, where we FIGHT!" This turned the Superstar mad and ignited another pull apart brawl that escalated and boiled out to the concession stand. On the last Hardcore TV before Hardcore Heaven, Steve Austin promise to not only outwrestle Sandman, but to kick his ass all around the arena and beat him so bad he would stay down. Sandman answered by offer Austin a special stipulation: a Texas Death Match. "Outwrestle me, pin me for 3 second if you want. But you'll never keep me down for 10 full seconds. I'll always get back up and beat your ass to a pulp. Austin accepted, and they then had a chaotic brawl - again - until half the roster came out to separate them. Can The Sandman reclaim the ECW World Heavyweight Championship by pinning Steve Austin and keep him down for 10 seconds? Will Steve Austin cement his spot by defeating another former world champion? Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer vs. The Heavenly Bodies /w. Jim Cornette Jim Cornette declared war on Extreme Championship Wrestling when he invaded House Party 1996 and had The Heavenly Bodies attack "the heart of ECW" Tommy Dreamer, who was then saved by Terry Funk. Jim Cornette issued multiple video promos "personally paid for" and aired on ECW Hardcore TV for weeks where he insulted ECW, Paul Heyman, the fans, and Tommy Dreamer. He said he was on a crusade to get rid of "crappy wrestling" and "hardcore garbage". Those insults ridden tirade were sprinkled with reference to outdated old school wrestling references like the Brisco Brothers, George Hackensmith or Orville Brown. Meanwhile, Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk called out the Heavenly Bodies, again and again. Funk became very angry when Cornette, in one of those "personally paid for" promos, said that the late Dory Funk Sr. would be embarassed by his son if he was him indulge in "hardcore non sense". After weeks of interposed promos, insults and shots, Jim Cornette invaded ECW Hardcore TV on the second week of March, when Jimmy Del Ray and Tom Prichard ambushed Dreamer & Funk and put them in figure four leg locks for AGES while Jim Cornette cut a furious promo on them and ECW while behing showered by boos. 911 attempted to intervene, but got taken down by the Bodies. The crowd nearly rioted and chairs began to be thrown in the ring, forcing Cornette & The Bodies to run away. Finally, Paul Heyman made a - now rare - appearance on ECW Hardcore TV with Dreamer & Funk. He insulted Jim Cornette and told us that the affair could go to the lawyers or be settled in the ring... So the match was made! Heavenly Bodies vs. Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk! Heyman put over Dreamer & Funk as "the heart and the soul of ECW". It's a matter of pride! Will the "heart and sould" of ECW, Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk, vanquish the invaders? Will Jim Cornette's team prevail and prove his point that ECW is "hardcore trash"? ECW World Tag Team Championship: Gangstaz Paradise Match Public Enemy vs. The Gangstaz © The war between The Gangstaz and The Public Enemy continues! After dispatching of the Gangstaz in a 3 on 3 match (with the help of Mikey Whipwreck), Rocco Rock & Johnny Grunge are dued a title shot! Looking to win back their tag team championship, they had roadblocks after roadblocks put in front of them. First, Gangstaz' young pup Homicide fought Rocco Rock in a bloody match on Hardcore TV where the goal was clearly to injure him. Then, The Gangstaz ambushed their challengers in the parking lot and beat the hell out of them. They put crushed Johnny Grunge's hand with a car's door again and again, leaving him injured. Grunge returns two weeks later to a hero welcome, wearing a cast on his hand and saving his best friend and tag team partner from yet another 3-on-1 Gangstaz' beatdown. Following week, Public Enemy got one last roadblock: their title match will be the Gangstaz' own match. If they want to win back the tag title, they'll have to enter a solid steel cage, they'll have to enter Gangsta's Paradise. Locked inside a cage filled with weapons, which one of these team will get the upper hand and claim the ECW World Tag Team Championship? Elsewhere on the card.. ✗ It's a rematch months in the making! After debuting against Sabu in a losing effort on Holiday Hell, RVD earned another TV title Shot against the Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocial, Death Defyin' Sabu. The two men never engaged in a brawl, as Sabu's japanese obligations have prevented him from appearing on most of ECW Hardcore TV, but RVD has been repeatedly calling him out and won a three way dance match involving Yoshihiro Tajiri and Stevie Richards to earn the title shot. ✗ Another match wanting a shot at Sabu is, of course, Taz. From months, Taz has campaigned for a match against arch nemesis Sabu. He interrupted RVD at one time, only to get the announcement from Paul Heyman that he already was scheduled to have a match on Hardcore Heaven, against Japanese import Koji Nakagawa. This match was made out because of Taz's comment that he could beat anybody in the world. "Now put up or shut up!" - Paul Heyman. ✗ Crusher Durante is smashing fools left and right under the influence of Francine. His "mistress", leading him to the ring with a dog collar, has been calling out everybody, claiming she wants to "feed her dog". Enters plucky underdog Mikey Whipwreck, who scored a surprise roll up win against the former Pitbull. After the match, he got beat up and powerbombed into oblivion. Both men now want revenge, and they will settle this at Hardcore Heaven! ✗ Mexico is still after The Eliminators! Having dispatch Hallowenn & Bestia 666, they called for a tag team title shot but got interrupted by a video from Mexico from... Konnan! Still seeking revenge - despite having already taken out Jason - Konnan said he was sending two of the top luchadors to beat the Eliminators at Hardcore Heaven. These two men? Juventud Guerrera & Super Crazy, who scored an emphatic win over Bad Crew on their hardcore TV debut... Before being attacked by the Eliminators. ✗ Dudley Dudley is losing his grip on his brothers! After his poor showing at House Party, he was repeatedly confronted by half brother Bubba Ray Dudley. Bubba said he was on a mission to "make daddy proud" and that failured would not be accepted anymore on the family. He took out his own brothers Dances with Dudley and Chubby Dudley after they lost singles match. Meanwhile, Big Dick Dudley hasn't picked a side, having been seen with Dudley Dudley and with Bubba separately. Bubba now claims he found another half brother that is the only one on his level: Devon Dudley. This new Dudley will debut at Hardcore Haven and face Dudley Dudley in a battle for the control of the family. ✗ Stevie Richards is... Wandering. Torn apart by what he has done to mentor, best friend, tormentor and former ally Raven. Richards superkicked him, causing him his match against Tommy Dreamer and his ECW career. This brave act of rebellion was followed by anguish, as Stevie Richards doesn't know what to do or how to act, without his leader. Cutting strange promos about "finding himself" and "the true meaning of life", Stevie Richards has been seen in vignettes searching for Raven to talk it out. After knocking on a WCW Nitro's arena door to no answer and wandering in the streets, nothing came of it. He will be the guest colour commentator at Hardcore Heaven to give us his "views" on the lack of meaning in life. </div> <div style="font-weight:normal;border-top:3px solid rgb(29, 28, 34);"></div> PREDICTION KEY: 1 ✗ Axl Rotten & Balls Mahoney vs. Bad Crew 2 ✗ Dudley Dudley vs. Devon Dudley /w.

Thank you buddy! Taking some holidays but i'll be back next week

JIM CORNETTE ✗ Ladies and gentlemen my name is Jim Cornette and the views i'm about to express only reflect my thoughts, but they may reflecy yours! I came to ECW - Extremely Crappy Wrestling as I like to call it - on a mission. On a crusade, on a purge! You see, I'm tired of this so called "wrestling" company that dishonor the sport of professional wrestling that is so dear to my heart. This is not wrestling, this is sh*t! JIM CORNETTE ✗ Do you think Lou Thezs would love grown ups putting themselves throught tables?! Do you think Orville Brown would be proud of what the sport he pioneered has become seeing New Jack hitting people with a kitchen sink, or Sabu jumping from high places like he was a god damn kangaroo on ectasy?! Do you think Dory Funk Sr. - may god watch over his soul - would be proud of his own son, on the twilight of his career, disgracing his last name by wrapping himself in barbed wire and doing moonsaults throught tables?! I don't think so! JIM CORNETTE ✗ I'm here to clean this sport. I'm here to get rid of this crap. I will destroy this backyard wrestling federation for retarded grown ups! That's why I brought with me the Heavenly Bodies. 'Dr. Love' Tom Prichard, 'Gigolo' Jimmy Del Ray, two southern boys that know what proper WRESTLING look like! And of course we went after Tommy Dreamer. This stupid motherf*cker, the guy heralded as the "heart and soul" of ECW. If this is your heart ECW, I swear to god I am going to rip it out of your body! And Terry Funk. Terry, you know me. I've known your family for years. You were one of the best professional wrestler of all time. Yeah, you're f*ckin' nuts sometimes, but you were the drizzling sh*t! Now you're just an old crank with no hip, no mobility and only four moves: punch, kick, piledriver and drop toe hold. You already retired once to save your marriage, well I hope it was worth it because the Heavenly Bodies are going to send you back to your old skank of a wife, believe me! JIM CORNETTE ✗ Oh, and Paul E. Dangerously... Don't think I'm not also coming for you. Don't think I've forgotten what happened between us. Don't think I'm not here to bankrupt your ass and send you packing to your lawyer daddy.

Free?" STEVIE RICHARDS ✗ Raven is gone... Raven. Is gone. And I played a part in it. I Stevie Kicked him. I couldn't let him hurt Beulah - again. I couldn't let him run wild - again. I couldn't... I did the right thing. Well, I hope. STEVIE RICHARDS ✗ Because Raven was my guiding light, my salvation. He taught me. He nurtured me. He made me grow up... Or did he? I'm so confused. I did what I did to break free from him, but now... I'm wondering if I did the right thing. I want to talk with him, but I can't because I don't know where in the world he is... But SHOULD I talk to him? He'll manipulated me again, I'll fall into this trap once more. No. No Stevie, don't fall for it. You're your own man now. STEVIE RICHARDS ✗ I mean... Whatever that means. I'm going to fight my own battles... But what battles? I don't even know what it is to have battles, I only fought Raven's battles. Now I need to find a purpose... Is that... Life? Am I suppose to figure out who I wanna be... Alone? STEVIE RICHARDS ✗ Well, it's terrifying, but at least I'm free... I guess? <div style="font-weight:normal;border-top:3px solid rgb(29, 28, 34);"></div> <img style="max-width:100%;" alt="" src=https://i.imgur.com/k3zZ0gM.jpg "My brother from another mother" BUBBA RAY ✗ Dudley Dudley... My older brother. The only "pure" Dudley... What does it matter that my mother was a whore from Hell's Kitchen? I'm still Big Daddy's own flesh and blood! Having both your parents name Dudley doesn't make you the boss. My big brother. You lead us nowhere. You lost our match against Axl Rotten and his homeless looking new BFF. Is that what a leader do? Hu-hu, I don't think so. BUBBA RAY ✗ Look at me! I conquered my stuttering, I'm hitting the gym night and day like a mad dog, i'm in the peak of my f*ckin' shape... And all you do is slow me down. You slow this all family down! BUBBA RAY ✗ And then I discover something. ANOTHER brother from ANOTHER part of New York, my brother from another mother in the Bronx, the son of Big Daddy and a church choir singer. Maybe HE can lead this family... Or maybe I can. BUBBA RAY ✗ Dudley Dudley, big brother! I'm laying down a challenge. Face the new number of our extended brotherhood, and if you lose... Weeeeeell maybe you're not fit for leading this family. </div>
