So, this is it. My first TEW dynastie. My first real post in this forum (somehow I appearently have posted once in this forum, but I don't know what that was ^^). So the first rule would be: Don't expect anything. And we won't be talking about the fact that English isn't my mother tongue and I never really learned this thing called grammar. I'll give my best. ^^ What's this gonna be? I've downloaded the current RWC Update from @Devil_Cyborg and decided to re-open WCW - with Booker T as the owner! The first show's gonna be WCW Against All Odds on the last sunday of September 2022 ('cause against all odds WCW is back in 2022). After that, the new old weekly television show WCW Nitro will air every Tuesday night (yeah, I'm not gonna compete with RAW right now xD) and will lead to the second PPV of the new WCW: WCW Starrcade (3rd Sunday of December 2022). After starting with 0 wrestlers I contracted 64 wrestlers on handshake deals. And what should I do with 64 wrestlers? That's right, a tournament! A big 64 man single elimination tournament, starting at Against All Odds, will lead to WCW Starrcade, where the first WCW World Heavyweight champion will be crowned, 'cause the big gold belt simply has to return. I'm not sure if I should post the whole bracket right now (so you already know everyone in the company and the tournament) or if I just should post the show matchcards one show after another so I can make a couple of surprise entrants. Would love to hear your feedback on this! And one last thing before I post this: Unfortunately I absolutely suck at anything graphical. So this won't be the prettiest dynastie thread. I'll probably just gonna post the results of the show (and anything else if you're interested in something) and that's it. This thread will mainly function as a way to keep myself focusing on a long term save, which has always been a problem of mine in the past. But I'm always open to suggestions of all kinds!
