Dead_Jester

Damn right Shane, make sure those slackers stay focused on the task at hand. Sucks about Candido though, the guy was always a solid worker who could have made it big, but sadly even in a video game world it looks like his poor life choices will do him over.

While I'm not totally confident in my team vs. the others I will support my guys and gal, so Dead Jesters all the way. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Thanks for the input guys I appreciate the responses. I went with the Ivory Tower Elitists, really looking forward to getting these two together and pushing them into a feud with the Steiner Brothers for the Tag Titles. I'll have to keep York in mind should anything happen to Hayes or the Genius as well, for the time being though I don't want to split up the managerial pairings due to the chemistry bonus on both sides. Thanks again guys.

<p>Just discovered great chemistry between Shane Douglas and Steven Regal in my 91 Rising Storms game so I’m planning on making them a regular team at some point in 92.</p><p> </p><p> Douglas, currently managed by The Genius and going by the name of “The Scholar” Shane Douglas, is running a gimmick where is a thinking man’s wrestler who uses his mind, and underhanded tactics, to beat his opponents.</p><p> </p><p> Regal, managed by Lord Alfred Hayes, is my current King of the Ring and is pretty much doing his blue blood bit that got him over in WCW.</p><p> </p><p> I want something that fits their respective gimmicks and the best I’ve come up with is The Society or the League of Gentlemen.</p><p> </p><p> Seeing as how there is no harm in picking other people’s brains for ideas I figured it couldn’t hurt ot ask if anyone had something better?</p><p> </p><p> Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>World Heavyweight Championship: "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner vs. <strong>Rob Van Dam</strong> {©}</p><p> -Way too early to take the belt off RVD</p><p> </p><p> United States Heavyweight Championship: <strong>Booker T</strong> vs. Rey Misterio Jr. {©}</p><p> -Expecting Booker to get a World Title shot sooner rather than later and this this would be a nice way to boost him towards it.</p><p> </p><p> World Tag Team Championship: Doomsday vs. <strong>True Heroes</strong> {©}</p><p> -When the Titles come off the True Heroes it won't be to Doomsday.</p><p> </p><p> Cruiserweight Championship: Billy Kidman vs. <strong>TAKA</strong> {©}</p><p> -TAKA has more going on.</p><p> </p><p> Ultimate Fan Series, Opening Round: AJ Styles (The K-Nections) vs. <strong>Matt Hardy</strong> (The Wild Cards)</p><p> -Tough choice but I think the Hardy's come out of this strong.</p><p> </p><p> Ultimate Fan Series, Opening Round: <strong>Dustin Rhodes</strong> (Agents of Chaos) vs. "Nature Boy" Ric Flair (The League of Extraordinary Grapplers)</p><p> -Expecting Dustin to be rather "different" when he shows up.</p><p> </p><p> Ultimate Fan Series, Opening Round: <strong>Chavo Guerrero Jr.</strong> (Straight Edge Suckas) vs. "Sugar" Shane Helms (Satyr's Hopeful Few)</p><p> -Chavo was chosen from the start while Helms was a replacement.</p><p> </p><p> Ultimate Fan Series, Opening Round: <strong>Jeff Hardy</strong> (The Dead Jesters) vs. Chris Candido (Uncrewed's Crew)</p><p> -Aside from Jeff being part of my team I expect he'll have a successful PPV debut, hopefully he can stay out of trouble.</p><p> </p><p> Diamond Dallas Page vs. Shane Douglas</p><p> -Draw, maybe a double countout of DQ.</p><p> </p><p> Bob Backlund vs. <strong>King Corino</strong></p><p> -Like there is any doubt.</p><p> </p><p> What will be match of the night?</p><p> -Douglas vs. DDP</p><p> </p><p> How many championships will change hands?</p><p> -1</p><p> </p><p> Will Dustin Rhodes show up?</p><p> -Yes.</p><p> </p><p> Will Kimberly show up?</p><p> -Yes.</p>

<p>Fan Prediction: Which team will win the Ultimate Fan Series? (Getting this right is worth three points in the current prediction contest.)</p><p> </p><p> -Going with head instead of heart on this one and picking the Straight Edge Suckas to win it all.</p>

<p>World Heavyweight Championship: The Destroyer vs. <strong>Rob Van Dam</strong> {©}</p><p> -No way is Robbie V losing the Title on his first outing as Champion</p><p> </p><p> United States Heavyweight Championship: Vampiro vs. <strong>Rey Misterio Jr</strong>. {©}</p><p> -Bit of a toss up choice but I just can't see Vampiro as one to dethrone Rey</p><p> </p><p> World Tag Team Championship: Alex Wright and Jamie Knoble vs. <strong>True Heroes</strong> {©}</p><p> The new darlings of the Tag Team division won't leave the spotlight this soon.</p><p> </p><p> Cruiserweight Championship: Billy Kidman vs. <strong>TAKA</strong> {©}</p><p> -TAKA just won it so I doubt he is losing it here.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Sting</strong> vs. Fit Finlay</p><p> -If it was against a young up and comer I'd have gone against Sting.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Diamond Dallas Page and The Natural Born Thrillers</strong> vs. Shane Douglas and Totally Buffed</p><p> NBT get back into the winners circle and DDP gets some measure of revenge on Douglas.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>AJ Styles</strong> vs. Kaz Hayashi</p><p> -Styles levels up the feud.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>American Dragon</strong> vs. "Sugar" Shane Helms</p><p> Found this one to be a tough choice but see Dragon getting a Cruiserweight Title shot out of this only to be screwed by Helms</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Doomsday</strong> vs. 3 Count</p><p> -Went with this purely because of the heel Tag Champions, definitely not ruling out 3 Count finding their back up singer though...</p><p> </p><p> What will be match of the night?</p><p> -RVD vs. Destroyer</p><p> </p><p> How many championships will change hands?</p><p> -0</p><p> </p><p> Who is the free agent Arn Anderson is negotiating with?</p><p> -Gonna say <strong>Christian</strong> even though Raven crossed my mind as well for some reason.</p><p> </p><p> Who will be the next world heavyweight champion? (worth 3 points)</p><p> -Booker T</p>

<p>Personally I think running both would be a huge workload to push through each week and could potentially kill any and all enthusiasm for the game, let alone the dairy.</p><p> </p><p> Like some people have said maybe just jump in and tweak things around, like vacating the Tag Titles, setting Austin/HHH as an inactive team, etc...</p><p> </p><p> Ultimately you need to do what you think is best overall as you are the one investing your time into play and writing, after all you need to enjoy what you are doing otherwise it becomes a chore you dread doing.</p>
