Steamboat80

I'm sorry to see this one end, but looking forward to your 2020 diary. Thanks for sharing the title lineages with us. I always enjoy seeing what people do with their championships.

The Current NWA Champions are as follows: NWA World: Jimmy Golden (he beat Smith Hart who beat Harley Race) NWA World Juniorweight: Eric Embry (he is the fifth person to hold the title) NWA Woman's: Dump Matsumoto (Moolah started as the champion but I started my own woman's title so I haven't pursued it. Since winning the title I've signed Dump to a written contract, and she has defended the title on WWF shows once or twice) AWA is currently at Regional and #8 while I'm #7 and at cult. I have a working agreement with them, however, Verne now strongly dislikes me so we'll see how long that lasts. Bruno Sammartino was going to be my unofficial figurehead. I'd planned to give him a lengthy third title reign, but he was appointed CEO of EMLL. With his position as CEO he is unavailable for about half my shows, so I decided he needed to lose the title. I'm not sure what exactly is next for him. I'm working my current storylines through December, so he will feud with Terry Funk until the new year. Billy Graham works for HCW and NWA Amarillo and is currently the NWA American Heavyweight Champion (Houston). Bob Backlund is signed to WWF, AWA, and CWA (Europe). With my new signings he quickly fell off the Franchise Player list, but I'm using him to elevate a newly returning Hulk Hogan who is now a Main Eventer thanks to his recent movie role.

I'm pretty sure that the number of years the company has been open plays a role here. In other words, the longer they've been around the longer they can operate while in debt.

WWF - January 1980 (day 1) - November 1980 (day 1) WWF World Heavyweight - Terry Funk (1x) Defeated Bruno Sammartino WWF Intercontinental - Ric Flair (1x) Defeated Bobby Duncum WWF World Tag Team - The Brisco Brothers (1x) Defeated The Blond Bombers WWF Woman's Champion - The Fabulous Moolah (1x) Inaugural Champion (lost the NWA Woman's but defeated Vicki Williams in tournament final for WWF title)

I prefer historical real world mods. (the 1985 (Risky Business), the 1980 Mod, and the 1991 mod being my favorites) I like to be able to recreate history starting from an "important" point and go from there. For the most part I play so that I can book my own "fantasy reality". Having said that, I don't like it when the mods are too challenging or filled with backstage problems, however, I'm not looking for anything with no challenge whatsoever. Finally, one of the first things I look for with regards to mods is the total number of workers available. I like when there are a lot of workers, particularly future workers, because it offers the possibility of long term play.

I thought I'd update after hitting cult and going on a bit of hiring spree. FRANCHISE: 1. Ric Flair (Current Intercontinental Champion) 2. Andre the Giant 3. Terry Funk 4.

He's actually number three on my "Franchise Players" list and the only heel. Staying true to the time though, he will be a short term heel champion. There are actually several good heels with decent popularity than I can bring in to challenge my next babyface champion.

I'm currently playing at 1993 WWF. Bull Nakano is my top woman's wrestler but also manages Akira Hokuto and Aja Kong. I'm looking for a tag team name for Hokuto and Kong as well as a stable name for all three. Any ideas?

1993 Has already proven to be an interesting year for the WWF. (Using the 1991 Mod) After winning every national battle they were involved in (all of them occurring in Japan) the WWF bought out both NJPW and AJPW and pillaged much of their top talents. I had considered an invasion angle, but instead decided to us them to pop some good match rating on WWF Raw World Tour. Raw World Tour is my new A show that takes place every Friday from Japan. The WWF continues to be the top wrestling promotion and is currently at International Level. As 1993 continues, the WWF looks to add a cruiserweight division and has already started a tournament for the title. There will also be a shift away from some of the older generation towards younger stars. 1993 looks to be a quite a transitional year for the WWF culminating at WrestleMania X in 1994. WWF Championship - The WWF Championship was briefly won by Ricky Steamboat who defeated Randy Savage on the initial WWF RAW World Tour from Japan. Steamboats reign was only two weeks, however, he managed a 100 rated title defense against Ted DiBiase and a 100 rated title loss to Randy Savage at the Royal Rumble. Hulk Hogan won the Rumble and will face off against Savage at WrestleMania IX. This will be their first one on one match in several years. As Savage has won the title three times as a heal with me as booker, he may be looking to freshen things up with a face turn. I've had Elizabeth under contract for months, so perhaps a reunion is in order (despite their divorce). WWF Intercontinental - Shawn Michaels will likely hold the title for a year or more. He is currently feuding with the Ultimate Warrior over who is the greatest I-C Champion in history. He defeated the Warrior at the Royal Rumble by cheating and their fued is scheduled to end at WrestleMania. Owen Hart has been pegged as a future IC champion and will likely feud with Shawn once Owen's tag title reign is over. WWF Tag Team Title - The Hart Brothers ended the very successful first reign of the Hollywood Blonds, however, the Blonds look to regain the titles and will have the opportunity come WrestleMania. As both Austin and Pillman have risen to the Main Event Level and 1993 looks to transition to a New Generation, I'm thinking a Blonds vs. Mega Powers fued over the titles may be in order. WWF Woman's Title - Bull Nakano is still going strong with her nearly year long reign. She is currently fueding with Heidi Lee Morgan and they produced a B+ match at the Royal Rumble. Bull will likely have a long reign. She is currently aligned with Akira Hokuto and Aja Kong. I'm thinking long term their may be a take over of the Woman's division by this yet unnamed trio. WWF Woman's Tag Title - Sweet Sensations (Ivory & Terri Power) won the titles from Team America. They are currently feuding with the Crush Girls and intentionally got themselves counted out at the Royal Rumble in order to save their titles. I don't see them being so lucky at WrestleMania. Long term, I think the Crush Girls will enjoy a reign or two, perhaps dropping the titles to the Glamour Girls at some point, before takeover over the Woman's division by Bull and her allies.
