<p>Soo... it might be Supreme Time finally. </p><p> </p><p>
Been booking WCW in a 2001 WCW Lives mod. The company is a mess so its a slow build toward a new generation of stars. I switched the company from balanced to popularity-based and it reminded me how much I generally enjoy booking SE type products. I'm a few months into the save, but I think I've just booked the company too many times in this mod, because it just feels repetitive, even though I've switched some things up. That got me poking around at other mods. </p><p> </p><p>
1997 WWF is fun, of course. I enjoy both PWI and the AWF in the Tverse. I played around in the CornellVerse quite a bit in beta testing but not all that much since. TCW tends to be my go-to in the CV anymore, but the grind of being third and having a performance based product made it a bit meh. USPW doesn't appeal to much.... but the SWF.... I haven't had a really fun SWF save yet on 2016. Quite often, the burden of dealing with the Eric Eisen and some negative personalities (looking squarely at you, JOEY) makes it unappealing sometimes. But then I got reading thru this thread and thinking about some of the positives - building new stars to replacing the aging main eventers, JACK BRUCE and Remo pulling monster grades on a consistent basis, Lobster Warrior as a heel.... think I might need to give the world of Supreme a go soon.</p>

I made him the new leader of the nWo, gave him the belt for 8 months and he ended up 5th most popular and top ten in the power 500.
PUSH HIM MORE
Lol I don't think I'll be giving him a monster push to the top like that. He might still end up at that level of popularity, though. I am avoiding any stables for now and I generally go with more gradual pushes. Kanyon moved from the starting feud he had with Ernest Miller into a feud with DDP. I'm hoping this solidifies him as a main eventer (he auto-pushes to that but doesn't really have the popularity to carry a show). I've have toyed with the idea of a stable, maybe pairing him up with Kronik, but for the first few months, I just prefer to avoid them. I've been using Kanyon as a slightly unpredictable loner, hints of how I tend to use Raven when I have him. If he hits a solid level of popularity (B range), I would not hesitate to put the belt on him. But being WCW, no world title reign longer than 2 months.
...kidding...
...maybe....

So in my 2K1 WCW Lives save, I switched the product from Popularity = Performance to Popularity over Performance by upping the Comedy two levels. Already noticed a difference. The shows grade a bit better because the angles grade a bit better, and some of the workers are gaining popularity quicker. That's after two episodes of Nitro after I switched. It will also make it easier to borrow my top prospects from development for the B show, help them gain some popularity, so that both helps them be more ready for the main roster move and helps the child companies with their grades.

And I find performance = popularity pretty straight forward. The reality is that this WCW roster is imperfect for any approach. There are some good workers, but some mediocre ones. And the overall roster popularity is not really ideal for a popularity over performance product. I think I originally set it in the data to be a bit different. Over time, as the young bucks move onto the main roster, the quality of talent will take a jump, but those ones need to advance up the roster before they can really help. Since popularity is faster and easier to build than skill, that's basically why I'm considering the switch.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DatIsraeliGuy" data-cite="DatIsraeliGuy" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41174" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>PUSH KANYON MAN<p> </p><p> He’s a money maker</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> He's good enough in this mod, and his character is fairly fun. So he may never be an absolute top star, but think he's gonna be key guy for awhile. So no worries - its happening. He's moving into another feud with DDP, which should see him gain some popularity so he can be a legit challenger to Booker. Probably doesn't win the belt anytime soon, but at least being able to feud with the top guy is a pretty good spot.</p>

<p>Only a month into the save, so probably too early to do a "what's going on". But what the heck...</p><p> </p><p>
Started a new WCW save in my tweaked version of 2001 WCW Lives. It starts in June 2001 with Mark Cuban as the owner. WCW isn't in great shape and the roster is a mess, as one might expect. Have Booker T, DDP, Dustin Rhodes, Jarrett, Kanyon, Shane Douglas.... that's the top of the card. The key that makes it fun is the potential - have RVD on the roster as well as AJ Styles. And the obvious signings are obvious - CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, etc. </p><p> </p><p>
I opened up two developmental promotions at the smallest possible size - New York City Wrestling and Full Throttle Wrestling, in NYC and Chicago respectively. Stocked them up with talent. Both are on touring schedules and I've found they tend to grow in size fairly quickly. I've already been using some of the top prospects on a B show so their popularity grows a bit and they can be more valuable to the child promotion. Trying to be patient and give these future stars time to get better before I pull them onto the main roster on a permanent basis. </p><p> </p><p>
I'm trying not to revamp the roster TOO quickly. Its tempting, but not really necessary. Growth back to National is going to take some time, regardless of show quality. And getting to National too quickly is just gonna backfire. Have to make do with Booker, DDP, Dustin, Jarrett, and RVD as the headliners until some more become available near the end of 2001 (Flair, Mysterio, HBK, Sting, Goldberg) or a bit later.</p><p> </p><p>
Since Booker T starts with the world and North American title, I had him be told he had to give one up. He gives up the NA title, of course, so a tournament is created. That can become an annual event down in subsequent years. Gonna run thru July, with RVD and Lance Storm being the finalists. </p><p> </p><p>
I've toyed with different products in previous saves on this data. The current product is Popularity equals Performance, but I'm wondering if I should switch it up to be more Popularity based. The idea was that WCW has changed under its new ownership, but honestly, Popularity based would probably be easier to book, and it can still be different than the chaotic SE they were doing in 2000-2001.</p>

There are a series of patriotic masks with different color schemes and both white and black wrestlers.

The intent is always to bring thru youngsters under similar masks, tagging them with him until they turn to feud with him, unmask, or just move off on their own. </p><p> </p><p> The mask doesn't have to be American patriotic to be old school, but there are plenty of mask options in the Tverse. And Will might be too brawl-based for what you are looking for. Someone like Pierre Lejosne has the technical skills and his SQ and overall talent should make him a star in PWI.</p>
-
I think the only way you could do it within the game itself would be gradually, one tweak every so often. Dropping the Realism a tick changes it to Popularity = Performance, I believe. Or it used to. That's a common tweak I make to the TCW product, as well adjusting the match-angle ratio down a level as well.

I'm gradually sending more people down to development to sharpen up. Just slowly picking whom goes down. But honestly, the WWF/E in a lot of time periods had a monstrous roster, and WCW as well through most of its history. So its nothing too abnormal lol</p><p> </p><p> Right now, Hawk is just carrying on with the Hawk'ing. Since the in-game canon doesn't really specify when his affair with Kellie went public, I'm running with the idea that it came to light fairly recently and Hawk has been talking about it in promos. Asking for privacy and the like. I don't want to go too far with the Cena-ism, having a completely split fan-base, the cheer-boo stuff, etc. But with his personal life shenanigans turning some fans against him, and he takes exception to that, it sets the stage for a potential heel turn at some point in the future. Not settled on doing it as he makes a great figurehead and will do so for a long time. But it creates a reason for it happening that can be leveraged at any time. </p><p> </p><p> The monstrous babyface is always a bit lame to me, compared to the monster heel. Especially a monster heel in a mask. My intent is to drag out Core-Cross for a bit, but build it around the idea that Cross has Core's old mask as he uses it an object of power. Not quite to the level of Paul Bearer and the Undertaker's urn. More like the mask allowed Core to unleash his most vile violent urges without restraint. Putting it back on pushes him back to those old ways, so we get one last run of old school Core. More than anything else, it sets up Cross as a manipulative and possibly insane magnificent bastard character. Taking more than a bit from The Joker, he's really just helping bring back the old Core to "unleash some chaos".... and possibly help take out some top babyfaces to help him move closer to the top. Cross is someone I would have so much fun with to write if I ever did an AWF diary project. Shades of Jimmy Havoc too.</p>

<p>So I'm a few shows into a new AWF save. The absolute best part so far... renaming some of the indy talent I've signed. I typically add talent and let them keep their indy names. But the AWF seems to be moving away from that a bit (based on all the renamed talent in FAW) and its a way to switch things up. I have an edited version of the name mod that Derek B (I think it was him) did awhile back, so its helped create some great name suggestions so far....</p><p> </p><p>
I have: </p><p> </p><p>
Lawrence Wrecker - manager The Deer-Stalker</p><p>

But that's not really the direction I would be going with the product for Progress. Look at the in-game definitions for Cult, Modern, and Realism.

Adjusting the product might not be the direction you want to go but it might solve the problem. Just be careful doing it in-game rather than thru the In-Game Editor - it can affect your popularity if you alter things too heavily.</p>

<p>I usually have a lot of fun booking Eli in any PWI save. He's a favorite. I don't book him purely as Brock Lesnar, more like a slightly less ripped but more "hard-hitting" version of young Lesnar. Not the post-MMA version except in terms of the aura. </p><p> </p><p>
Great thing about Eli is he always seem to improve. In a few saves, I've given him regularly promo time and he's improved rapidly on the mic. His Psychology often hits A as well.</p>

I’ll give another update when I hit January 2017!
Nice save with CGC.
Always been one of my favorite promotions in the Cverse. First promotion I connected with, way back on TEW 2007. They reminded me so much of Stampede Wrestling, which was my "local" promotion as a kid.
CCG hasn't aged well. They feel similar to TCW in that regard. They need a talent influx and the AI isn't great with that, but its a fun challenge for the user. The Cverse provides plenty of young options to sign and build up.

The in-game description is family-friendly and the product levels don't really limit you entirely. So it could be family friendly in that its straight forward modern wrestling without a lot of risqué stuff, or it could be campy, whether 80s old school style or Hollywood style campy. My personal take is that the characters have never made me feel like its super-camp and a pure takeoff of 80s WWF type wrestling. More of a modern PG product with a bit of goofiness and comedy, but not heavy. But the Hollywood connection always made me think there should be an extra dose of drama in the storytelling. </p><p> </p><p> So for me, how you present Prophesy connects quite heavily to how you book the company. Having him do eerie, creepy promos doesn't have to be campy - look at a lot of The Undertaker's stuff in the WWE in the past decade. You could even have him mostly off-screen, mostly just " a voice of authority". You could even play him straight - just a standard authority figure (think Regal in NXT) but he just happens to wear creepy facepaint....</p>
