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

Nice. That sounds loads of fun and even more exciting for me, it sounds like the game world is developing correctly. I've always feared that I'd do something wrong and after a couple of months, Juan Sebastian or someone would end up as the best wrestler in the world. xD I'm also glad that you feel inclined to play a longer game with Territory Daze because I do feel it's a moderation that only grows the more you play it because you get introduced to the characters you're perhaps more familiar with (Ric Flair, Greg Valentine, Bruiser Brody, Stan Hansen etcetera) and get to see them grow in the wrestling landscape you've created for them. Anyway, your game sounds like a whole lot of fun with the roster you've got going there.
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.

Thanks, man. I think you might be my muse as I've been inspired to make a skin on both the occasions that you've hyped/released a skin. xD
xD
Real nice, man. Sounds like he was a great guy.
Yeah, Don Muraco is a lot like Dino Bravo in a way. Because he had such a change during his career (beefing up on steroids) the guy we all know and love from the 80s and beyond isn't the guy he starts the game as. I have to find the right balance of debuting them as they were in real life but giving them just enough to potentially turn into the guys they were if the player so desires and it's really hard finding that balance sometimes. He débuts pretty early on though so he should have plenty of time to develop. As I said before, I'm a huge fan of Lewin so seeing him as your star (for now at least) really pleases me. xD Your plan with André sounds cool too, as I always thought he should have had a really long run as champion. If there's anyone you can actually believe will hold a title for that long while destroying all challengers, it's got to be André. What's potentially more interesting is who he'll eventually lose the title too. There are some big names debuting in the mid-70s to late-70s so it's going to be cool to see who you give that push too.
I love stories like these from you guys, too. Because of all the racial tension back then, we never got to see guys like Rocky Johnson, Thunderbolt Patterson and Sonny King being pushed all that much, particularly as a super group. That's potentially what I love most about Territory Daze is that you don't have to deal with "real fans" so you can push whoever you want and see what life would have been like without these kind of issues. Real nice touch on the name too, as the Martin Luther King Jr. speech will still be fresh in the memory of 1970 wrestling fans.
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'm looking forward to the new update too. This is such a fun time to run a promotion. Can't wait to see what changes you've made.
And to the comment "You can always change stats around.". That's true. You can also draw a mustache on the Mona Lisa. Doesn't mean you should. My view of any mod is that it is a work of art, and I don't think I should be fiddling with other people's works of art. I only make exceptions if the modder tries something that just doesn't work with the game (see Genadi's accurate, yet game-killing drug settings). I feel that if you go in and change a bunch of stats that you're crapping on the mod. Just make your own, or the better option is to play one of the other 20 or so mods here instead. That's why I made that long post about what Mammoth was trying to say with his mod. It's his mod and his vision of what that era was. Who am I (or anyone else on here) to go change that vision? That's why everything I was saying was how the game is going to interpret his data and making sure it would sync up with his thinking.
Sorry, just wanted to get that off my chest.
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.
