WWF January 1991 - December 1993 WWF Champion: The Ultimate Warrior (since March 1993) Intercontinental Champion: Shawn Michaels (since August 1992) WWF Tag Team Champions: Shawn Michaels & Diesel (since October 1993) 1993 King of the Ring: Sid Justice 1993 Royal Rumble Winner: The Ultimate Warrior

I'm in December 1993 in the Peaking Tides mode. I couldn't get the belt off Hogan one year ago so I did a screwjob with him and Flair at Tuesday in Texas. He left and went to WCW and I had Warrior go over Flair at Mania IX and become the new figurehead. Right now, Warrior is still the champion and in an extended feud with Sid Justice, and producing terrible matches that forces me to NEVER have him in the main event. The only time he's main evented was against Flair at Mania and Michaels at KOTR 1993, so this thing isn't going well. At least we're making lots of money. HBK is still with Sherri and is the I-C champ since he beat Bret at SummerSlam 1992. He's also Tag Champs with Diesel since beating LOD at SNME in October 1993. Razor is gaining steam, so I'm going to try to do a ladder match between Shawn and he at Mania X. The BIG storyline has been a "Passing of the Torch" storyline with Bret and Savage. They started a friendly rivalry where Bret wanted to become the new standard bearer for the company, but Savage felt he could still go. This led to the main event of SummerSlam where Bret submitted Savage in the sharpshooter. After this Savage said that maybe Bret was the guy, but he thought they could do great things together. Savage said that he's held every title in WWF except for the tag titles. Bret accepted and he and Savage started working tag matches and started a mini-feud with Michaels and Diesel. The ORIGINAL plan was going to be Michaels and Diesel winning the tag titles (which they did) and Bret and Savage challenging them at the December SNME, which would end with Savage turning on Bret, saying he is still the standard bearer. This would lead to Savage and Bret being the last two in the Royal Rumble, which Savage would win. Savage would then go on to defeat Warrior at WrestleMania X and then would duck Bret until they have their rematch at SummerSlam 1994 when Bret finally goes over and becomes champion. What actually happened was Bret broke his orbital bone in late October (out for 6 months) and I was forced to turn Savage early (being the cause of the injury) and put him in a feud with Perfect for Survivor Series and December SNME. The rest of the plan can proceed as planned, maybe with Bret showing up after the Mania main event, assuming he's healed by then.

Playing a historical 1991 WWF mod. What's the best way to "break into a game area"? We're really established in the US, Canada, and the UK but can't get television in Mexico, Japan, Europe, or the others. Is the best way to just run a show in an area and not televise it? I don't want to hurt my popularity in my established regions.

I'm in May 1993. Paul Levesque debuted but isn't doing much. We'll see how things progress with this young go-getter.

Any idea on what happens if you don’t hit the minimum number of episodes for an event? I have NBC for events but have never produced the minimum 12 events in a year they’ve requested but so far nothing’s happened. Will I get a penalty?

Yeah I guess that’s a way to do it but this might be my only opportunity for a screwjob. Does anyone on the board know the requirements for getting a worker to agree to a screwjob?

What ingredients are necessary to convince Flair or Taker to take part in the screwjob?</p>

So I’m trying to screw Hogan out of the title because he’s leaving my company and has creative control but NO ONE will take part in the screw job. Is there a work around for this?

I had him win with interference and hopefully will renegotiate him without creative control so Taker can get the belt at 1993 Royal Rumble.</p>

<p>I'm currently large sized running my A-show as Monday Night Raw on NBC (enormous).</p><p> </p><p> So you're saying that they will eventually increase their caps over time?</p><p> </p><p> I guess my hang upis that no one can get close to Hogan. The idea that 1991 Hulk Hogan had 100 drawing power is kinda nuts, he wasn't doing close to that in reality. If Hogan is at 100, and Savage and Warrior are at 91-92, Michaels, Bret, and Undertaker should eventually be able to peak at 90 or 91.</p><p> </p><p> But I guess that's just a mod issue.</p>

Posting this here as no ones been able to provide guidance in the Small Questions thread: Still trying to figure out the popularity caps thing. Any guidance would be appreciated. So I'm using the Peaking Tides 1991 mod and am currently in November 1992. I'm trying to build my New Generation (Undertaker, Bret, Shawn, Razor, Diesel, Warlord {believe it or not} and Sid) to take over from the remaining Rock N' Wrestling guys (Hogan, Warrior, Savage, DiBiase, Slaughter, and Perfect) but am having trouble with popularity. Just to give you a heads up: Undertaker has been stuck at 82 popularity in the US for three months, Shawn has been at 78 for two or three months, and Bret moves between 72 and 80 based on him winning or losing. With this I had a very curious outcome after the Survivor Series. Shawn beat Bret (tainted with interference from Diesel and Sherri) in a 94 rated ladder match to retain the I-C title Hogan beat Undertaker (with botched interference from Flair) in a 97 rated match to retain the WWF title After these matches both Shawn and Undertaker remained where they were in popularity but Bret jumped up from 76/77 to 80. How did this happen? Shawn won, and with similar charisma and star quality to Bret, he's at the same spot. If we're talking about match quality, Undertaker had a better match, wasn't beaten clean, and has better star quality and charisma yet he didn't jump in popularity. Can anyone explain this to me? (I can provide exact skill numbers if neccessary).

Thanks. Just matches or angles too?

My broadcaster is enormous and I’m still getting this.

Yeah, I was able to end Superstars and create Raw on NBC. My hope is to be able to get someone (hopefully Undertaker, but possibly Sid) over enough to be able to beat Hogan. My New Generation has stalled in popularity: Undertaker at 82, Michaels at 77 and Bret at 77. Is it likely I can raise their popularity above those numbers with the NBC deal?

It seems so. There's not even a default basic attack?

So I get attacked by some demons and then I can't do anything. No option to attack or run away. The screen just....sits there. I can actually minimize the combat screen and go right back to the main screen and patrol or whatever. It's really weird.

<p>So I need some broadcasting advice.</p><p> </p><p> I'm currently running WWF (we're in August 1992) and a bunch of my wrestlers are capping at popularity.

My main show is currently Superstars that has First-Run Syndication as its US coverage (Medium). Should I try to get a larger broadcasting deal? Would that increase the caps?</p>

Thank you, this was helpful.

In 2020 are the popularity caps still based on star quality? For instance if HBK is at 76 SQ, will his cap be at 76 for popularity? And subsequently if I get him to increase his SQ with steroids can I then increase his popularity?

Been stuck in the hospital a few days (I’m a new Dad!) but I had been playing this mod before that. Just a quick question though (since I can’t check in the database right now). Does the WWF get hit with the steroid scandal in this mod?

I'm confused, I'd like to download this mod but is it a 2016 conversion or a real 2020 mod?

Did they ever add mouse wheel support to every screen? Do I need to change preferences to access it or is it just not there?
