WWF 1991: WWF World Heavyweight Champion: "Rowdy" Roddy piper (Defeated Macho King Randy Savage at Wrestlemania VII) WWF Intercontinental Champion: Bret "The Hitman" Hart (Defeated Rick Rude at December 1990 Supercard) WWF European Champion: Davey Boy Smith (Defeated Papa Shango on Superstars) WWF Tag Team Champions: The Rockers, Marty Jannetty and Shawn Michaels (Defeated Arn Anderson and Mr. Perfect at December Supercard) WWF Women's Champion: Bull Nakano (Defeated Alundra Blayze at Royal Rumble 1991) King of the Ring 1990: Randy Savage Royal Rumble 1991 winner: Roddy Piper

<p>We're building up to Wrestlemania VII in 1991. "The Macho King" Randy Savage has won his WWF World Heavyweight Championship back from Hulk Hogan and will now be defending it against the 1991 Royal Rumble winner.... Rowdy Roddy Piper. Hot Rod seems ready to capture his first world title and cement his legacy but he broke two of his fingers in the process of winning the Royal Rumble and Savage has been taking advantage at every opportunity.</p><p> </p><p> Hulk Hogan looks to get himself back on top of the pile but finds someone standing in his way, "Ravishing" Rick Rude seems determined to prove that he should be the number one contender to the World title and he's more than confident in his ability to overcome Hulkamania.</p><p> </p><p> Bret "The Hitman" Hart won the Intercontinental championship from former Champion, Rick Rude back in December and looks to prove himself a fighting champion, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson seems ready to make Bret prove that he's worthy of the title.</p><p> </p><p> In backstage news, I've recently lost Mr. Perfect to WCW so I'm kind of considering weither I want to add someone new to the Four Horsemen or just let it die. Perfect and Arn had just won the tag title and held them for a month before the signing, they then lost the tag titles to The Rockers. Mr. Perfect himself was a replacement for Tully Blanchard who left for a massive WCW paycheque and he's only been in the group for maybe two months before leaving. I'm considering sticking Bam Bam in Perfect/Tully's spot. Currently the group is Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Sid Justice and then a blank spot.</p>

I've been unsure of what to do with him myself as I don't want to lose his allure of never being a wwf guy but wcw doesn't seem to want him either.</p>

<p>So... just needing some advice.</p><p> </p><p> WWF 1990, I've been playing since 1987. I find myself in a strange position... I can buy NJPW.</p><p> </p><p> Now not only would this shoot my popularity up from 18 to 87 in Japan but I'd also finally have a shot at the end of the year awards which NJPW have held tightly onto most since 1987. Also I would be thrilled to be able to use Shinsuke Nakamura in a big way when he debuts without worrying about NJPW signing him to a written contract. But that's about 12 years away from happening.</p><p> </p><p> That said I would feel bad for killing my main source of competition. So I come here asking advice.</p>

1990 in my 1987 WWF game. The Undertaker is my world champion at the moment. He's successfully defended it against Ric Flair at Main Event. He'll be teaming up with the British Bulldogs and Ricky Steamboat to take on the Four Horsemen at the May Supercard and then will likely move onto a filler feud. My plan will eventually end with Randy Savage winning King of the Ring. Becoming the Macho King and then beating Undertaker at Summerslam. Savage will then defend his world title at Wrestlemania 7 against Roddy Piper who has been a solid hand and deserves a run at the top. Meanwhile Rick Rude and Bret Hart are set to battle it out for the Intercontinental title. This will be a test run as I see each man as the start of the next generation.

<p>WWF 1987-1990 game. (So far)</p><p> </p><p> Start:</p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/NhgH8bf.png</span></p><p> </p><p> 1988:</p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/QV4WX3g.png</span></p><p> </p><p> 1989:</p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/7BrAVTZ.png</span></p><p> </p><p> 1990:</p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/dGDYlR2.png</span></p>

<p>Well I'm just going to brainstorm out in the open. I'm in January 1990 in my 1987 start WWF game. I'm getting my ideas for Wrestlemania VI ready.... here's the card I have in mind.</p><p> </p><p> Wrestlemania VI (In Toronto, Ontario, Canada)</p><p> </p><p> <strong>WWF World Heavyweight Championship match:</strong></p><p> The Undertaker Vs Ric Flair ©</p><p> </p><p> The Undertaker has been with the WWF since 1987 and has come a long way in three years. He's gone from incredibly green and squashing jobbers on Superstars to being a main eventer who is seemingly the only main eventer who, ironically, doesn't send me emails burying people. </p><p> </p><p> Hulk Hogan lost to Flair last Wrestlemania and I'm not quite ready for twice in a lifetime: Origins. Savage also fought Flair at Summerslam so I feel the need to freshen things up for Wrestlemania.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Mega Powers Explode!:</strong></p><p> Randy Savage Vs Hulk Hogan</p><p> </p><p> That's right. The Mega Powers have been on good terms for nearly a year longer than they were historically. I really wanted the break up to mean something and breaking up a team that's only been around a year doesn't mean as much as a team who has constantly had each other's back for two years. Savage will be eliminated by Hogan in the Rumble, take it personally and eliminate the immortal one. ALSO THE LUST IN HIS EYES!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Intercontinental Championship Match:</strong></p><p> Rick Rude © Vs Ricky Steamboat</p><p> </p><p> He's simply ravishing! Yaooooo! But seriously I've had Rude since 1987 and he's taken nearly three years to get clean of drugs. Now that's he's clean I want to give him a true test of his abilities. I use the IC title to gauge how ready someone is for the next step and with Steamboat getting a 100 score match out of Flair at the last pay per view I don't see him being the weak link.</p><p> </p><p> There will be more but these are the matches I'm thinking make up the main brunt of the show.</p>

<p>Started as WWF in March 1987, currently January 1990.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WWF World Heavyweight Champion:</span></strong> Ric Flair (Defeated Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania V)</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion:</span></strong> Rick Rude (Defeated The Ultimate Warrior at October Supercard)</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WWF European Champion:</span></strong> The Blue Blazer (Defeated Rick Martel on Superstars)</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WWF World Tag Team Champions:</span></strong> The Hart Foundation, Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart (Defeated The Brainbusters, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard at Summerslam)</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WWF Women's Champion:</span></strong> Alundra Blayze (Defeated Sensational Sherri at... some point)</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WWF King of the Ring 1989:</span></strong> Roddy Piper</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">WWF Royal Rumble Winner 1989:</span></strong> Ric Flair</p>

Can wrestlers get better at playing face or heel? I ask because right now I have the Undertaker in my 1989 game and he's only at 71 at being a face. I'd prefer if he got better at it because I just prefer face Undertaker.

<p>Mixed feelings in my current game, I brought Sid Justice in as a member of the Four Horsemen into the WWF version of the stable. I've gotten him up from Enhancement to midcarder with a series of sqush matches.</p><p> </p><p> Hulk Hogan gave me the first positive review he has ever given me in my two year game by telling me that Sid has a lot of potential. I think he's just licking his lips and thinking "I can't wait to pin that hoss".</p>

<p>WWF 1989</p><p> </p><p> WWF World Heavyweight Champion: Ric Flair (Defeated Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania)</p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion: The Ultimate Warrior (Defeated Roddy Piper at Wrestlemania)</p><p> </p><p> WWF European Champion: Tito Santana (Defeated Greg Valentine on Superstars)</p><p> </p><p> WWF Women's Champion: Alundra Blayze (Defeated Sheri Martel at Wrestlemania)</p><p> </p><p> WWF World Tag Team Champions: Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard (Defeated the Hart Foundation at the December Supercard)</p>

<p>When is it a good idea to just let someone go?</p><p> </p><p> I'm really torn with Mr. Perfect. he's got high 90's in popularity. He's a positive influence backstage but I can't trust him. He's got a score of 60 out of 100 in his soft drug addiction and has no-showed events due to it. One pay per view and two TV shows. His world title reign and winning streak came to an abrupt end when he didn't attend a pay per view while he was meant to be the defending champion. He was meant to face Hogan at Wrestlemania but instead lost it at a supercard.</p><p> </p><p> I've sent him to rehab four times and he's still at 60. I can't really trust him enough to book him but I'd love if he was somehow redeemable.</p>

<p>Back in my 1987 WWF game at the moment. We're on the road to Wrestlemania 5.</p><p> </p><p> Mr. Perfect ruined our original main event as he had gone from his debut to winning the world title from Randy Savage without a single loss to his record. He then seemingly decided to celebrate his win with a massive bender as he no showed 3 events to do some drugs and lost the title to Hogan at a supercard instead of being in the main event of Wrestlemania.</p><p> </p><p> Luckily, JCP went under just before the Royal Rumble so now out newly debuted Ric Flair will be facing down Hulk Hogan for the WWF World title.</p>

Thunder has the WCW Heavyweight title (only two previous holders ever) and the NWA World Heavyweight title both held by The Rock, they're effectively unified but I'm trying to decide which I should use going forward.</p>

<p>Running WCW in 2002, I've split my brands into Nitro and Thunder. Both have their own world champions but there's only one WCW world title so I have to make one out of thin air for Thunder. No lineage or anything really all that impressive, just on the spot. Scott Steiner was its first holder.</p><p> </p><p> I've decided that the NWA World Heavyweight championship would make a better title in terms of percived prestige but practically I'm not sure. Would it be worth putting an alliance title as my Thunder world title? It's not entirely under my control but its the title of Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair. Much better than the title of Steiner.</p>

<p>WCW lives. We're into 2002 now and we've signed both The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rock made a splash by beating the NWA World champion on Thunder and then defeating Scott Steiner at spring stampede for Thunder's world title. I'm torn between which belt I'd rather use for thunder. On one hand the whole NWA can use the NWA world title and I'm worried what that can mean but on the other hand ito actually means more to me in terms of lineage than the thunder world title. I'm open to opinions.</p><p> </p><p> Jeff Jarrett retained his WCW world championship against Stone Cold when Kronik interfered and beat up the rattlesnake. Austin will be taking another shot at the next pay per view.</p><p> </p><p> Also in developmental news Frankie Kazarian has begun dating Angelina Love. Tracy Brooks is there too but I guess she got overlooked this time.</p>

Do workers lie to you about the abilities of rookies? I keep getting emails from Hogan and Scott Steiner that Samoa Joe sucks and I should let him go but then I hear from Booker T and Sting that Samoa Joe has a lot of potential.

How is he doing in main event matches for you? Would you put the World Title on him again? <p> </p><p> To be honest the starting roster can deliver pop gains quite easily, I would like to trim some fat and let a lot of lower guys go but I don't want to pay a lot of them out. The biggest two changes as I mentioned in my previous post is definitely Cena and RVD, everything else is pretty much standard WCW, without the stupid bookers (I think?).</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> He's doing alright. Whenever I have Nash in a talking segment I can expect it to hit 90 or above. In the ring he's not really impressive but I could say the same for Sting who rarely has a match beyond the 70s. I wouldn't put the world title on Nash though. Booker T and Jeff Jarrett are the only two I'd entertain world title runs for though at the moment. I was considering giving Nash a tag title run but WWF outbid me for Scott Hall so that's not happening.</p><p> </p><p> And yeah right now my morale screen is a ton of nobodies who are mad I'm not using them. There are going to be deep cuts when some contracts come up in a year or so.</p><p> </p><p> RVD is also in my WCW as the US champion. He's going to hold that belt as long as I can reasonably leave it on him though.</p>

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Grfcboy95" data-cite="Grfcboy95" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41174" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Still playing WCW lives, and man oh man, its impossible to job Nash down the card. The guy is 7 years into decline, but is 82 overness US wide, which i though would be great to get younger talent over like Sean O'Haire, Chuck Palumbo, John Cena and RVD. But he won't lose to anyone without being protected because of his creative control, so he never loses any pop at all and theres no way for me to get him out of the main event until his contract expires in 2 years. I am really enjoying the challenge of WCW though, building them back up but trying to reinvigorate their main event scene. I'm somewhat hoping i don't make it to national for a while, but being on such a small network, i think i might be okay. I made Steiner my champion, which in hindsight has bee na bit of mistake because once the feud with Booker T is over, if i don't put the belt back on Booker there's no real options to feud with Steiner after. In the main event on the face side i have Sting, who had the first PPV match with Steiner (not for the belt) because Booker T starts the mod out injured, so i could got back to it but it feels too soon, even though they only had one singles match. I also have DDP, but he is my US champion, Ric Flair, who is 15 years into decline and honestly his matches aren't what they used to be and Dustin Rhodes who is barely autopushing main event with 60 overness in the US and not capable of holding the belt. I'm currently trying to get RVD over in a feud with Luger, and Jarrett and Bagwell are currently feuding with Flair and Sting and neither of them make good babyfaces. So maybe the belt just has to go back to Booker, who has some decent options for feuds on the heel side of things.<p> </p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I've found myself in the same position. I'm looking at who I can push to replace the time declining main event while I mostly keep Nash feuding with people in the main event. I like Nash though so I'll keep him until I can get rid of his creative control. Hell even if he retired I'd just stick him on commentary.</p><p> </p><p> I'm basically keeping WCW in a status quo situation until my developmental territory "The Powerplant" has finished up with my next big stars. Samoa Joe, CM Punk, John Cena, Austin Aries and Ken Anderson are all down there training up to take over.</p><p> </p><p> Also you mentioned hoping to stay at cult, If I remember how the last version of this mod worked I'll try holding myself at cult until a contract for someone I really want from the WWE comes up (Jericho, Guerrero, Christian) and then I'll pop up to national, steal them and fall back down when they beat me in a national battle. Prairie Dogging. Wooo!</p>

Just a question, I'm playing as WCW in the 2001 "WCW Lives" mod and despite having Nitro run with medium coverage in Canada I'm noticing my popularity is falling in Canada. I'm running constant 80 quality shows and my popularity has dropped from 30 to 14 for seemingly no reason.

<p>Well firstly I'm going to start out by mentioning that I'm getting worried at how many of my future stars just won't put down the damn needle. Bret Hart has a steroid rating of 100. Shawn Michaels has a rating of 50 and he's only been with the company for a year or so. Everyone I check is on the roids. I feel like Hal from Malcom in the middle with his army of beefy men.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Anyway. Summerslam 1988 ended with Mr. Perfect winning the world title from Randy Savage. I was hoping on giving him a decent run with it but he's been quite underwhelming on his own. He'll probably drop it to Hogan soon.</p>

Actually yeah I just checked, he has a Star Quality of 100. Wooo! This gave me a good laugh.
