"I bet the guy doesn't even own a corgi." LOL! Good stuff.

Haha -- just to be clear, neither company has any drug testing policy. I've just been stricter with punishment when playing as WCW, particularly when I was using Watts. Around this time, he was pretty seriously trying to get a drug testing policy off the ground there. WCW also doesn't have a dirty doctor, which is basically in the game to simulate Dr. Zahorian in WWF. So it's a safer space for a guy like Kerry. In this timeline, Duggan and Sheik never got busted for drugs in '87 (so WWF never banned coke backstage), no one has gotten outed for steroids or OD'd. There's a pre-built narrative about Zahorian in the database that I've removed; I intend to keep dirty doctoring until the game busts me. Welcome to the druggiest timeline. OH! And thank you for the noms, Alpha!

Adam did mention this in the journal: "Of course, one major advantage of this new system is that it opens up the opportunity for fans to simply not take to a worker (or conversely to latch on to someone you weren't counting on) much more than in previous games - although you can of course try and book your way around any unexpected result." So it definitely sounds like someone can get pushed toward the main event without the fans latching on.

Very true! I will say that Kerry is lucky to be in WCW, which I run with a more corporate attitude -- stricter rules, fines for users, etc. Meanwhile, in WWF, I've had the dirty doctor active and won't turn it off until some kind of scandal bites them. My boys need their juice!

Kerry appears -- at least at this point -- to have his life together. Will it last? We shall see...

<div style="padding:10px; border:10px solid #800080; background-color: #d3d3d3; max-width:1000px;margin:auto;"> WCW SATURDAY NIGHT December, Week 1, 1990. Jim Ross and Jim Cornette welcomed us to the show and sent us straight to the ring, where goth-ass Dustin Rhodes successfully defended his WCW TV title against a game Scott Steiner. GRADE: 68 Dusty Rhodes came to ringside to plead with his son to talk to him. He was promptly jumped by Kevin Sullivan, Vader, and the Gunslinger. Dustin appeared to feel nothing as his dad got beaten down. GRADE: 77 The Magnum Talent Agency (young Magnum clients Owen Hart and Brian Pillman) made short work of the Nasty Boys. GRADE: 60 Our next match was a back-and-forth contest between Sting and Curt Hennig. As usual, Hennig was accompanied by “Billion Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase and his bodyguard Bruiser Brody. DiBiase seemed distracted with the announcers commenting on the rich man’s recent losing streak. Eventually, Sting gained control and cinched Hennig into the Scorpion Deathlock, only for Brody to interrupt the match with a big boot. Sting won by DQ. GRADE: 73 The Ultimate Warrior sprinted to ringside to even the odds, helping Sting fight off Brody and Hennig. They shook the ropes in celebration. GRADE: 69 Harley Race arrived at the announce desk for an interview with Jim Ross. Asked what he thought of WCW so far, Race snorted. “All I see around here are a bunch of freaks in face paint. No one can wrestle at my level.” GRADE: 83 In an even match, Kevin Von Erich defeated Ted DiBiase, extending the Billion Dollar Man’s losing streak. GRADE: 81 Kevin Sullivan defeated Manny Fernandez, showcasing his viciousness throughout. GRADE: 67 As Sullivan made his exit, he was approached by DiBiase. Showering Sullivan with bills, DiBiase begged for a sample of Fuji’s magic. “I saw how it worked on that little punk Dustin! I need some of that, man. Name your price!” Smiling (in an evil way), Sullivan shook DiBiase’s hand. GRADE: 68 Ahead of the main event, the Enforcers arrived with Kerry Von Erich. KVE refused to address the fans, so Arn and Tully did the talking. They described Flair as washed-up, talked about how the Horsemen always needed to carry him, and mentioned what an injustice it is that Kerry hasn’t gotten a shot at the World title since Flair won it. GRADE: 80 The main event featured KVE and the Enforcers against Flair, Lex Luger, and Barry Windham. Flair came out with something to prove. KVE, meanwhile, tagged out whenever Flair got in there, purposely avoiding the champ to get under his skin. Luger got a good run and, although he wasn’t the focus of the match, appeared to be incredibly over with the fans. In the end, Von Erich got Barry Windham locked in the Iron Claw to pick up the win. He stared down Flair as he squeezed Windham's brain into shutdown. GRADE: 88 OVERALL GRADE: 84 </div> <div style="padding:10px; border:10px solid #800080; background-color: #d3d3d3; max-width:1000px;margin:auto;"> NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT! VS Lex Luger does battle with “The Billion Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase! Can DiBiase end his losing streak against the Total Package? Did he make a deal with the devil by approaching Kevin Sullivan?

Ha -- I enjoy most of the diaries on here more than real life WWE! But thank you! For lining up the pics: just enter them without line breaks to get them side by side. If you see a post with formatting that you're curious about, you can always "quote" the post to see what bbcode is being used. I looked at a lot of the prettier diaries when I started to see how people were doing things, too. I'm still tweaking my own formatting all the time. Good luck!

<div style="padding:10px; border:10px solid #800080; background-color: #d3d3d3; max-width:1000px;margin:auto;"> BOARDING THE ROCKET TO STARRCADE '90 WCW notes from 1990: DUSTY WRITES THE SHIP: After Bill Watts’ ouster as booker at the end of ’89, Dusty Rhodes spent most of 1990 stabilizing WCW. The company still can’t touch the WWF in terms of popularity, but they’re no longer bleeding fans as they figure out their identity. GLACIAL RUN-OFF FROM THE MOUNTAIN OF MADNESS: Following his brutal beating by Money Inc at Starrcade ‘89, it was revealed that young Dustin Rhodes might never wrestle again. In despair, Dusty struck a deal with Mr. Fuji, the guru of the White Castle of Fear, who healed Dustin by dipping him in the mystical waters that flow from the Mountain of Madness (you know the ones). Of course, this turned Dustin evil. Supernatural cowboy The Gunslinger was also corrupted by Fuji’s magic, making the White Castle of Fear stronger than ever. As we approach Starrcade, Kevin Sullivan and Vader have captured the tag titles and Dustin the TV title. HARLEY COMES HOME: Lost in the shuffle in WWF, July saw Harley Race jump to WCW. Apparently, no one took it personally when the eight time NWA/WCW World titlist declared the WWF championship was the most important thing he had ever won. A BAD WIND BLOWS…: Kerry Von Erich suffered a slipped disk in August. After two months on the shelf, the Texas Tornado returned with a mean streak.

Enjoyed Double or Nothing! Smart to put the title on Hardy in a ladder match so the Dark Order story can pay off and Moxley doesn't have to lose clean. I'm intrigued to see where this goes next (and especially who beats Hardy because come on). How much do you find yourself paying attention to the records when you're booking?

Guys... I have some bad news. Dino Bravo is... a free agent. The AI lets him walk when his contract comes up in late '90. The Flamingos are no more. :(

Interestingly, the AI has been handing out creative control clauses pretty freely. Hogan, Savage, Ricky, and Andre all have them. I had never seen a character use creative control to block a gimmick change until Ricky did it to me. I was very happy to get Steamboat a reign and always pleased to job Hogan in a WrestleMania main event, even if it means ruining my streak of 100 rated WrestleManias. Without getting into spoilers, the AI makes a very interesting choice for the next World Champion. But first, I'm going back to WCW... Thanks for reading everyone!

<div style="padding:10px; border:10px solid #3399ff; background-color: #ffffcc; max-width:1000px;margin:auto;"> We’re packing 96,000 people into a generic venue in Atlantic City, New Jersey for WrestleMania VI! The pre-show began with a six-woman tag team match that saw Alundra Blayze and the Jumping Bomb Angels defeat the bad girl team of Dump Matsumoto, Judy Martin, and Susan Sexton. The WWF women’s division continued to languish -- but hey, at least the women’s title match is on the main card this year! I’m sure that’s a good sign… GRADE: 59 *** Jim Duggan won the annual pre-show battle royal, last eliminating Tito Santana. After the match, the villainous Duggan mockingly HOOOO’d at the crowd, who apparently expected someone exciting to debut here. GRADE: 64 *** The audience tuning in on PPV was treated to a video montage explaining the rules for tonight’s main event between Hulk Hogan and Ricky Steamboat. It’s a cage match with six enforcers at ringside. What could go wrong? GRADE: 88 *** VS The show opened with a hard-hitting brawl between two powerhouses. The Warlord eventually gained the upper hand, tangling Davey Boy in the full nelson. Smith managed to work his way to the ropes and hook his leg through, but the Warlord refused to release the hold. The ref called for a DQ and the Warlord left the victorious Bulldog draped across the ropes. GRADE: 69 *** Ricky Steamboat was warming up backstage when Andre the Giant appeared. The big man was still on crutches after the brutal attack by the Mega Powers. He wished Steamboat luck in tonight’s main event. GRADE: 84 *** VS Harley Race and Paul Orndorff were able to outclass Honky Tonk Man in this tag team contest, but Koloff was another beast entirely. Once the Russian Nightmare got the tag, he dominated the good guys, and eventually flattened Race with a Russian Sickle for the victory. GRADE: 81 *** VS In a match that saw the beefier Adonis in control for most of 20 minutes, Bret Hart eventually managed the comeback, cranking a Sharpshooter to get the submission. Bret Hart won the WWF Intercontinental title, his first singles honor in the company. GRADE: 81 After the match, Jim Neidhart made to strap the title around Hart’s waist, but then blindsided him with a double ax-handle. As the crowd booed, Neidhart stood over Hart holding the Intercontinental title. GRADE: 62 *** VS Accompanied by the Warlord, Vachon looked to be in control until Davey Boy Smith arrived to support Ferrari. The crowd wasn’t into this at all, apparently sick of seeing Vachon match up with Ferrari. The match mercifully ended with a Ferrari small package. Ferrari retained the WWF Women's title. GRADE: 23 As the match concluded, Davey Boy leveled the Warlord with a massive lariat, then carried Ferrari to the back in celebration. Sexy I guess? GRADE: 64 *** VS These two fought all over the ringside area in a no holds barred brawl. At one point, Ramon loaded up a right hand only for Boss Man to duck, causing Ramon to strike a fan. In the confusion, as Boss Man checked on the injured bystander, Ramon grabbed his opponent’s nightstick (not a metaphor) and KO’d him for the win. GRADE: 62 *** VS Two tag teams at the height of their abilities wrestled a back-and-forth match. The Kings Club fought valiantly, but Demolition ultimately proved too lethal a tandem. Smash pinned Orton after a Decapitation. Demolition retained the WWF World Tag titles. GRADE: 82 *** VS Randy Savage cut a wild promo on Jake Roberts. “You degraded Elizabeth yeah… you degraded the Mega Powers yeah… JAKE ROBERTS! You think I’m afraid to go to the dark side? I LIVE THERE EVERY DAY.” Is he referring to Hogan’s shadow? Unclear. GRADE: 100 The crowd wasn’t entirely sure who to root for here, but the action was hot and heavy enough to get them into it. Savage came out strong, although Roberts seemed pleased to have gotten under his skin. When the fight spilled to the outside, Roberts caught Savage with a DDT on the entrance ramp. Busted open, Savage was never the same after that. Roberts seemed to toy with him, deploying multiple DDTs over the pleading cries of Ms. Elizabeth. Eventually, Roberts pinned an unconscious Savage, who needed to be stretchered from the ring. GRADE: 88 *** Backstage, as Savage was loaded into an ambulance, Hulk Hogan desperately searched for a third enforcer. He approached Demolition and Razor Ramon, but after a year of Mega Power shenanigans, no one was interested in helping the Hulkster. GRADE: 89 *** VS Doom flushed the Flamingos in the bathroom break match. GRADE: 76 *** VS The cage was assembled. The enforcers gathered at ringside. With Hogan’s side down a man, Roberts, Race, and Orndorff had no problem keeping Koloff and Honky in check. Still, Hogan was dominant inside the cage, battering Steamboat against the walls. He was perhaps a little too strong as fans primed for a Steamboat victory were let down by the level of offense given to Hogan. Eventually, Steamboat turned the tables and climbed the cage. Hogan pursued, but Jake Roberts hooked his boot, allowing Steamboat to leap to the outside. Ricky Steamboat won the WWF World Heavyweight title under sullied conditions that disappointed the fans. Blame somebody’s creative control clause. GRADE: 88 OVERALL GRADE: 95 (a down year by WrestleMania standards) </div> Hyped to see some new predictors! Thanks for reading! I appreciate the bold and exciting debut predictions for the battle royal… sorry I’m so lame.

Aw, thanks guys! Very cool!

The champions are usually included in the round robin tournaments (they rarely win). If they win, they get to choose their challenger. Typically, the guys who pin the champions during the tournament are also given title shots during the next tour which is the source of a lot of fun matches.

<div style="padding:10px; border:10px solid #3399ff; background-color: #ffffcc; max-width:1000px;margin:auto;"> PRIME TIME WRESTLING March, Week 4, 1990. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage stormed to the ring and demanded an apology for the actions of Jake Roberts in last week’s main event. “That’s just the kind of dude you are, Steamboat – a coward who has other people fight his battles.” The irony of Hogan complaining about outside interference isn’t lost on the fans. Roberts eventually answered the two, focusing his promo on Savage, who he’ll be taking on at WrestleMania VI. “You must wake up every night in a cold sweat, thinking about what a lackey you’ve become.” Roberts promised that, after WrestleMania, Savage will have new nightmares, courtesy of The Snake. Finally, Steamboat emerged. The challenger was actually contrite, sincerely apologizing to Elizabeth for Roberts’ behavior last week. He promised to beat Hogan clean at WrestleMania. GRADE: 100 Davey Boy Smith defeated Jim Duggan with a running power slam. GRADE: 81 After the match, the Warlord jumped Davey Boy and locked him in the full nelson. The powerhouse Bulldog was unable to break the hold. When Tina Ferrari tried to help pry him free, she was beaten down by Luna Vachon. GRADE: 77 Doom defeated the makeshift team of Paul Roma and Shane Douglas. Simmons and Reed made quick work of the two, clearly still mad about last week’s loss to the Kings Club. GRADE: 78 Tempting fate, the Flamingos arrived to bird-dance and then confront Doom about jumping them a few weeks ago. The Flamingos challenged Doom to a match at WrestleMania which Butch and Ron happily accepted. They smashed Koko’s confetti cannon on the way out. GRADE: 74 The Kings Club defeated the Rougeaus in a one-sided warm-up match before their tag title shot at WrestleMania. GRADE: 76 Demolition once again tried to jump the Kings Club, but this time Orton and Beefcake were ready. They splashed Ax and Smash with buckets of water they’d hidden under the ring and tried to wipe the paint off them. The tables turned, Demolition fled the scene. GRADE: 80 In a non-title match, Adrian Adonis defeated Jim Neidhart with the Goodnight, Irene sleeper hold. Bret Hart watched from ringside. GRADE: 83 After the match, a groggy Neidhart shoved the Hitman away when Bret tried to help him to the back. GRADE: 66 The Big Boss Man arrived in the ring to present an arrest warrant for Razor Ramon for crimes against the squared circle. Ramon snuck into the ring from the crowd and pummeled Boss Man before tearing up the warrant. “Chico, you ain’t no law man, you’re an F.B.I. – a fat boy imposter.” GRADE: 66 Emboldened by his beatdown of the Boss Man, Razor Ramon defeated Tito Santana in a match where Ramon broke multiple rules. “It’s too bad the ref didn’t get a warrant, Gorilla, there’s nothing he can do!” GRADE: 80 In the main event between WrestleMania enforcers, Harley Race, Paul Orndorff, and Jake Roberts defeated Randy Savage, Nikita Koloff, and Honky Tonk Man. Roberts once again menaced Elizabeth with Damien, which opened the door for Harley Race to roll-up the Macho Man. GRADE: 89 Steamboat came to the ring to scold his former partner. While they argued, Hogan slid into the ring with the world title and attempted to blindside Steamboat. At the last second, Roberts shoved Ricky out of the way and got leveled with the title instead. Steamboat proceeded to tear into Hogan with chops, eventually knocking the champion over the top rope.
