[Favorite memories from your TEW2016 saves.]

<p>Oh man, yeah I get kinda sad with the new game only a few days away. I've been playing Adam's games since the old EWD days, but I think I had the most fun with TEW 2016. There is one extraordinary save that i am still playing every now and then. </p><p> </p><p>

I used the Dawn of the Attitude Mod and took WWF but the save really became truly fun when WCW poached succesfully every main eventer I had leaving from the original crop of 1996 main eventers nobody but Brian Pillman (who was arguably not a main eventer at that point). I think the game is always the most fun when competition takes your talent away and you have to build stars. Otherwise the main event scene gets extremely crowded after a couple of years in-game time, especially if you play a promotion above cult. </p><p> </p><p>

But I was lucky enough to keep Austin, Rock, Bret and Brian Pillman as my four cornerstones over the next few years slowly graduating new stars into the main event picture. Then Bret and Austin got poached as well but guys like Jericho, Edge, my own character or Randy Orton were already stars. </p><p> </p><p>

Good times! Really excited for the new game though <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Yeah Goldberg is alright in the ring but has just awful stamina. He is gassed after a 15 minute match for christ's sake. But he is an A* in Star Quality AND Charisma and is a good babyface, so I think his potential for potential business success is even higher than Stings (A in both Charisma and SQ).</p><p> </p><p>

Your take with the rankings is something I probably already do in my head. </p><p> </p><p>

No 1 Face: Sting</p><p>

No 1 Heel: Mark Calaway (after becoming a movie star)</p><p>

No 2 Face: Steve Austin</p><p>

No 2 Heel: Ric Flair</p><p>

No 3 Face: Lex Luger</p><p>

No 3 Heel: Kevin Nash</p><p>

No 4 Face: Goldberg</p><p>

No 4 Heel: Sean Sabre</p><p>

No 5 Face: Owen Hart</p><p>

No 5 Heel: Shawn Michaels</p><p> </p><p>

A pretty talented main event scene where it is super difficult to keep everybody happy. Especially Flair who is 48ish and past his prime. </p><p>

Oh funny little tidbit from that save is that Hulk Hogan left the WWF in 94 to found his own wrestling company Hulkamania Wrestling Federation. He signed all his known friends (Jimmy Hart, Nasty Boys, Brutus, etc.) and pretty much took on all guys who are past their prime like Jake Roberts, Roddy Piper or Nitron (The Sabretooth guy). Often there is a "Hulk Hogan Declaration" to read what while not surprising is still funny.</p><p> </p><p>

BTW: Having a super over Bulldog at 25 is just awesome. A guy you can rely on for 10+ years and he is good in the ring and carry guys you wanna elevate to good performances.</p>

<p>Switch of Figureheads; General use of figurehead; building heel machine?</p><p> </p><p>

Hey guys, </p><p> </p><p>

I'm booking WCW in 1991 (with RisingStorm) and after almost 8 years as a very successful figurehead I am toying with the idea to switch my figurehead Sting to Goldberg, who I've been building up with the classic winning streak what worked out well thus far as he averages B+ popularity in the US and C+ to B in the rest of the world. Not yet megastar but he is on the rise and in terms of charisma and star quality my best possibility.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Switch of Figureheads?</strong></p><p> </p><p>

But now my problem: I really don't wanna upset Sting too much because he is still integral to my immediate future. When should I switch? When Sting is in the Time Decline (38 right now and still not showing up in it) ? Wait until Goldberg gets to A? I tried to build up Steve Austin to become my next figurehead but because he had to wait in line behind Sting and never had the big success in feuds (why should I push him further if he is rivaling my figurehead?) and weirdly is maxed out at B popularity (awesome dynamic by the game btw) even after beating Flair clean at a major PPV. Therefore I really don't want to screw up the Goldberg push and pull the trigger too late on the switch.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>General use of figurehead</strong></p><p> </p><p>

How are you booking your figurehead in the span of a year (from Season Finale to Season Finale)? After Starrcade in December I usually start storylines with Sting in somekind of stable war or tag team feud (teaming with Luger or something) until July (including title defenses against the two to four rivals with maybe a switch in between to give Sting a big babyface win at The Great American Bash further strengthening his value). </p><p> </p><p>

After GAB in July the build to Starrcade begins with the most profile heel I have in the company (who also never participates in the Spring/Summer feud). In the months leading up to Starrcade I often book Triple Threats or Fatal 4 Ways to keep the headliners fresh. And in December for Starrcade most of the time, Sting wins his title back or defends it. </p><p> </p><p>

It worked out quite well for me and this is just the basic formula with many twists and turns every year in between but I would be really interested how you are making sure your figurehead stays as strong possible and it isn't getting too boring in the title scene. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Building Heel machine</strong></p><p> </p><p>

When I'm using a figurehead I always make sure to have at least four to five main event challengers for him at any time. When Mark Calaway (Yeah, Taker didn't work out in WWF) went off filming movies and Kevin Nash did what only Nash would do: tore his quad (not kidding!). So I was left with Raven (who is not getting very great ratings in main event style match ups, even though he is a good in ring worker and very over) and Sean Sabre (Val Venis / Sean Morley) for the rest of the year and it got a bit tricky in the end to really work it out. How are you treating the face/heel ratio when using a figurehead??</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

WOW, super long post. If anybody takes the time to read it, cheers!</p>

Bio (give a short backstory to the character): Chris Connolly seems like a throwback to a different era. Even though he has very cool look, he works very methodically and is generally considered a good but not great worker. He could end up as a headliner for a minor Promotion or a solid mid-card Hand for one of the bigger promotions. He LOVES to ski (Hard Drug Use 45 %) and is know to be a very social and generous Person behind the Scenes.</p>
