I'm interested so if you finish I'll be excited.

All 10 are under contract with me, I've ran some really good cards, my popularity in Tri State is almost 85. El Solitario will probably be in the top 20 before long, as he's my top Mexican wrestler.

Well I just finished year 2, and if finishing 1 year was the furthest I've played a single game that should tell you a lot about how much I'm enjoying this one. I finished the year off with Dusty Rhodes defending against Harley Race, resulting in a good enough match, mostly because I had failed to get Harley over enough in the Tri-State. The show stealing match was Andre the Giant beating Nick Bockwinkel. Nick's loss to the giant and to Dusty earlier in the year is going to result in him bringing in Bobby Heenan as a manager and teaming up with the Blonde Bombers to form a Heenan Family. As for the top 500, here's the top 10 1. Nick Bockwinkel (1) 2. Dusty Rhodes (5) 3. Ray Stevens (11) 4. Buddy Colt (Ron Reed) (28) 5. Harley Race (2) 6. Andre Roussimoff (The Giant) (24) 7. Bill Watts (16) 8. Jack Brisco (9) 9. Gene LeBell (35) 10. Terry Funk (12) Nick Bockwinkel won Wrestler of the Year Carlos Colon won Young Wrestler of the Year

I think that's one of the biggest motivators for playing more, see who's going to debut next month. I also set up a pattern of booking based on 32 man monthly tournaments, so all I really have to do is pick my 32, figure out the finals, then work backwards and just book the cards. The champion gets a title shot the following month. This has led to three 99 match ratings in a row with Funk/Dusty/Sammartino. Bockwinkel after his win over Sammartino is no a 90 pop in the Tri-State. But I think I'm going to end his run this month at the hands of the 8th wonder.

Just finished my first year. Furthest I've played a TEW2013 mod. Bockwinkel is my undefeated champ and wrestler of the year after defending against Sammartino in the match of the year in my last event in 1970. The #1 contender is Young Wrestler of the Year Andre "The Giant" Roussimoff. #2 on the new power 500 is Harley Race.

I've been doing research into the pop culture of the late 60s to try and flesh out some gimmicks and storyline ideas.

Yeah, he passed almost 4 months to the day. He was an amazing guy, would have fit right in with the wrestlers back then, and would have kept a lot of them in line, as he was no slouch with his fists, lost only one fight (split decision) while boxing in the USMC. I was pretty sure he would bury me, but a brain tumor showed up. It was hard watching him go from picking me up in bear hugs (I'm 260lbs) at Christmas, to being non-ambulatory by June. The game is grinding along, Don Muraco seems a little underwhelming at his debut, but otherwise its okay. My fed is out of Buffalo, so I've brought in Mark Lewin as my local hero, however he's 0-3 in mainevents against Ron Reed, who just allied with a young kid from France named Andre. I have distant plans of Lewin being champ for a while, then losing it to Andre who will go on to have a Sammartinoesque run for most of the decade. I've teamed Rocky Johnson, Thunderbolt Patterson and Sonny King as a face group called The Dream Team, as a reference to Martin Luther King's speech. Also Don Ross and Billy Graham as The Heavenly Bodies.

I enjoy it so I can create my own long promotion history. Instead of being some random booker that gets a job in the WWE I can build my company from scratch. I'm using my grandfather as an avatar, oddly he was the same age I am now in 1970.

I'm reluctant to change Dino Bravo however, as unfortunately/fortunately (depending on your preference) he wasn't on the steroids yet and therefore wasn't as big/strong. He was actually a pretty decent technical wrestler by all accounts until he ruined his body, searching for the perfect physique. I could put a narrative in to make him bigger which I believe (but if someone can correct me, then please do) gives a slight increase to both those statistics but as I've said many times, I don't like "directing the future" as I see history moderations as a way to create an alternate world, not just re-live the past.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> No worries, as I only remember him from this WWF run, and based on his profile pic when he debuts I thought he was always a power lifter.</p>

I got about a year into the old 1970 mod when I saw that this was up. I'm glad I made the change, the workers are much better now. Only a couple minor complaints/suggestions. I think Bockwinkel needs better performance skills and I think Dino Bravo needs more power and menace.
