<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Stars Of Raw 67</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Dillard’s Arena (Western Australia)</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> 15,000 in a Sellout Attendance! </span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Week 4, May, 2016</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Frogue Element defeated Luke Steele. With his star quality now at 94, push Frogue Element to the moon!!!</p><p> </p><p> Samoan Machine defeated Molokai Milk. Milk might be a powerful enigma, but it was nap time when Machine locked in the Unbreakable Sleeper. </p><p> </p><p> Captain Wrestling II & Loxley Robbins defeated Dynasty (Rahmel Goode & Maurice Jackson). Captain pinned Jackson after hitting the Australian Slam. Post-Match, things got heated when Goode & Jackson began to argue and shove. In a surprising twist, fellow Dynasty member Luke Steele attacked Jackson from behind! Steele & Goode began to beat down their own stable mate! Jackson might need to find new friends! </p><p> </p><p> Devilfish defeated Artemis Eyre-Rochester. Devilfish, the latest newbie getting a push!</p><p> </p><p> In a RAW Quest Championship Match, challenger Echo defeated champion Cole Taylor to become the <strong>4-TIME</strong> RAW Quest Champion! Echo reversed a roll up by Taylor into one of his one, and got the three on Cole with a handful of tights! A disgusted Taylor was forced to watch post-match as Echo celebrated with the gold. </p><p> </p><p> Halloween Knight defeated Montgomery Croft. In a battle of heels, Knight got the win and continued to roll while moving his way up the RAW ladder. </p><p> </p><p> In a RAW Tag Team Championship Match, champions The Next Big Things (Nicky Gilbert & Rod Sullivan) defeated The Melbourne Blondes (Blake Belushi & Rick Stantz) and Quiz Master & Spiffy Stan Standish in a Triple Threat to retain their titles! The finish came when Gilbert pinned Stantz after NBT hit their finisher, the Over-Cast. NBT bring their 4th reign as RAW Tag Team Champions to an impressive six months! </p><p> </p><p> In a rubber match, winner take all, RAW Television Champion Swoop McCarthy defeated Kerry Wayne in a Ladder Match to retain his championship. Much to the surprise of everyone, Swoop lived up to his promise that no member of his stable Dynasty would interfere. Swoop did it all on his own, and brings his feud with Kerry Wayne to a close.</p>

<p>I just got back into TEW again taking a break to play some WMMA. I wanted to do something new, so I went ahead and took a trip to Australia! That’s right, I started a game with Revolution Australian Wrestling! My first game with RAW!</p><p> </p><p> I tell ya what, it’s definitely interesting because it really does feel like I’m out there on a island. Yes, there’s plenty of talent on the roster, but there’s not many options right away to improve what I have. It doesn’t help that the Economy and Wrestling Industry is poor and falling in the game that I started. So while it might sound like a crash course, it has definitely been fun. RAW has an interesting roster but clearly flawed. They have a bunch of wrestlers with plenty of star quality but lack in-ring expertise, so it’s been interesting the roster to enhance the positives. Out of the ring, the announcers and referees are not very good, so I’ve been working to dig out a diamond from the rough.</p><p> </p><p> No surprise at all, I’ve built my company and storylines around Swoop McCarthy. I turned him heel to feud with Kerry Wayne and eventually put the RAW TV Title on Swoop. To bolster Swoop as “the man”, I gave him a stable named called Dynasty (Luke Steele, Rahmel Goode, Maurice Jackson). Long term, I’ll eventually turn him back face and make into a beloved uberstar. </p><p> </p><p> One of my personal favorites is Echo, who is a standout in a roster that is lacking in-ring quality. Echo is nothing spectacular, but is good all around. I’m about to put the RAW Quest Title on him and give a hefty reign as the top midcard guy in the company. </p><p> </p><p> One guy who has improved immensely since I started the game was Frogue Element. He continues to improve in-ring, but he also changed his body tone and bumped his star quality up to 94. So right now, I’m building him up to become a challenger to Swoop by running through Dynasty. Who knows? If he continues to improve, he might surpass Swoop and become the face of RAW!</p>

<p>I'm thrilled, because I was just able to sign Edd Stone to a pretty generic contract without a fight from TCW. I guess that tells you how much TCW is struggling in my CGC game. Pretty much, the only star they have left is Aaron Andrews.</p><p> </p><p> Perfect timing, too, because I was just thinking I needed a Cruiserweight for my Jay Chord-led stable called The True Born (hint hint, it's a Legacy rip off). And there ya go, Edd just falls in my hands.</p><p> </p><p> Now...if only Freddy Huggins was available for negotiations... <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Bigpapa42's gimmick list for PPVs has encouraged me to try to do more, while not just copying his list. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> For instance, I'm heading towards CGC's Last Man Standing (September 2017). I got the obvious LMS match headlining, which will be the second encounter between the DeColt Brothers, Jack & Ricky. Spoiler alert, Alex returns from the vicious beatdown Ricky delivered to his big brother to help Jack win. More of a distraction than interference by Alex, Alex can't bring himself to attack his little brother despite what happened. Not yet, at least! </p><p> </p><p> But just to spice things up, I'm setting up a 10 Man Mayhem Match, where in which the winner will challenge CGC World Heavyweight Champion Jay Chord later on in the night. Last man standing gets the title shot! </p><p> </p><p> Kirk Jameson will be getting the opportunity, but sadly, longtime rival Roger Cage will be costing him his opportunity after Jameson made Cage tap to win the Mayhem Match. Cage, by the way, just won back the Canadian Title from Jameson in a Triple Threat without ever pinning Jameson. </p><p> </p><p> Roger Cage is pretty much my Miz. Not really excellent at anything, but great at literally everything. He's the king of my midcard division. If I keep on playing this game, he's going to have like 10 Canadian Title reigns. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Ricky's heel turn wasn't abrupt and out of nowhere, months of issues between Jack & Ricky finally led to a boiling point, where in which it seemed (to Ricky) that Alex always took Jack's side. Ricky has convinced himself that Alex & Jack can't stand the idea of Ricky actually becoming the best, most popular wrestler in the family. </p><p> </p><p> Ricky & Christian are by no means friends, strictly business partners with the same(?) goal. And you're right, it's an alliance that is clearly not meant to last. Their egos and bitterness won't allow it.</p>

It brewed for weeks after Alex DeColt declined his request for a title shot against Jack DeColt, respectfully telling him that needed to "earn it" with a few big wins.</p><p> </p><p> Fast forward a bit, and Jack DeColt & Price win a Tag Main Event where DeColt gets the pinfall after Price hits his finisher on Dan DaLay. Price snaps and attacks DeColt. Thus Price becomes "Enough is Enough" Owen Hart, just a angry, bitter man who has convinced himself that the DeColts are trying to keep him from being the star that he deserves to be. </p><p> </p><p> And that was my major feud for the first handful of months in my game!</p><p> </p><p> Fast forward over a year later, and I'm in the midst of the DeColt Brotherly Feud, Jack vs Ricky. Ricky is bitter against his brothers too, though with a bit more arrogance (his theme is "How You Like Me Now" by The Heavy). </p><p> </p><p> In a surprise twist, Ricky aligns himself with Price to overthrow his brother Jack as the face of CGC, declaring himself the true gem of the DeColt family. I'm actually thinking of putting Ricky over in the end, especially with Jack hitting 40, but this feud isn't finishing anytime soon. </p><p> </p><p> Admittedly, Price's addition is just a way to extend the Brotherly Feud, but Christian has remained a solid Upper Midcard guy for me. Always in the Canadian Title picture, and receives the occasional World Title shot. Stats stalled for a bit, but when I briefly made him a tag team guy? It's like the game character knew, and he started showing improvement again! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

You don't know the stips until before the match!</p>

<p>Just to comment on the popularity discussion, I just finished my first 18 months (as mentioned on another topic), and it can be a little tedious to build up your pop in other countries. Unless you create a new broadcasting network, your options are limited in Canada at Cult-early National level. As a result, money can max out.</p><p> </p><p> For a couple months, I attempted to boost my USA popularity by using a lesser Canadian PPV Broadcast that also aired in USA, but I made less money during those two months by a pretty significant margin. </p><p> </p><p> After that, I focused on just getting my Canada popularity high enough to intrigue a broadcasting network that airs in various countries. Just like that, in August 2017, Reverie (subscription) is interested in my tv shows, and I'm transitioning them over. They air everywhere but Australia, which is a big win. </p><p> </p><p> It's interesting to see how a lot of people play CGC similar to what I do. A lot of the same indy names keep popping up. It's just what you have to do I guess, because the CGC roster in January '16 is a complete wasteland. </p><p> </p><p> There is only a handful of roster members from January '16 left in my August '17 game, and I just lost another one. USPW just signed Gargantuan to a massive contract, and I purposely made them bump their offer more and more. His subpar stats have appear to maxed out in this game, and he got flabby so his star quality dropped to 86. Have fun in USPW, buddy! </p><p> </p><p> I signed Wolf Hawkins, and go figure, he got hurt in his last few weeks in TCW. Paying him for 5 months for nothing! But when he comes back, I'm making him my new figurehead in CGC over Jack DeColt. He became a ripped middleweight and his star quality bumped to 98. </p><p> </p><p> I considered making Sammy Bach my figurehead, but then Wolf became available shortly after Sammy. Also, Sammy is 39, eight years older than Wolf.</p>

This is my third update on my CGC game, now with a year and a half in the record books (July 2017). I’ll try not to ramble on too long because I just posted about DeColt Wrestle Festival recently. CGC continues to rise in popularity, arguably bigger than they ever were before their decline. The DeColt Company has become a powerhouse, and the battle with SWF, USPW, & NOTBW has truly begun. Peformance-wise, CGC is outpacing NOTBW each month in Canada, but is behind USPW (for now!). There are two wrestlers that I will always pay up for no matter what. They are Sammy Bach & Wolf Hawkins, my fav wrestlers. Well, I recently signed Sammy Bach, who was currently the TCW World Champion, and he successfully debuted against Christian Price at my latest PPV, In The Company Of Legends. And…well…guess who I’m currently in negotiations, one month later? That’s right! The Wolf Man! Poor TCW has been picked to the bone. All they got left star-wise is Aaron Andrews & Eddie Peak, and Peak is in decline. Finance wise? My recent big signings and opening of a development territory has put me in the negatives, but nothing that progress cannot fix. As soon as I get in the positives again, I’m planning to create a second A-show, that way I can expand the Cruiserweight Division and also consider a Women’s Division. Easily, my biggest feud currently is the DeColt Brothers Implosion. It’s been brewing for months after Ricky DeColt has lived in Jack DeColt’s shadow for years. The lack of opportunities for Ricky while Jack gets plenty. The insults from other competitors about being the “little brother.” It finally blew up when the DeColt Brothers challenged The Golden Gangstas for the Tag Team Titles. A miscue led to a collision between Jack & Ricky, and Ricky eventually being pinned. When Jack tries to help his brother, Ricky snapped and laid a beatdown on Jack that left the crowd speechless. Jack has disappeared for a month since, and a scowling Ricky is demanding respect from everyone, and now likes to call himself the “#1 DeColt.” When Alex DeColt attempted to call out his brother Ricky to talk, Ricky refused to answer the call out. Everyone is wondering now where this will go, and when will Jack return to confront his brother? With that out of the way, here are my champions and an overview for each: CGC World Heavyweight Champion: Jay Chord Reign Began: CGC Rage in the Cage (March 2017) (Second Reign) 4 Successful Title Defenses The leader of the True Born has clearly become the #1 guy in CGC after defeating Jack DeColt at DeColt WrestleFestival. Chord has recently been feuding with new babyface Mr. Lucha, though Ricky DeColt has stuck his nose into the World Title picture during Jack DeColt’s disappearance from CGC. It led to a triple threat between Chord, Lucha, & Ricky DeColt at the recent PPV, which Chord came out successful. Chord’s feud with Lucha continues on, but there are others waiting for their opportunity. It’s only a matter time before Chord has to deal with the likes of Sammy Bach, and even potentially Wolf Hawkins! CGC Canadian Champion: Kirk Jameson Reign Began: CGC Luck of the Draw (February 2017) 9 Successful Title Defenses Jameson took the gold from long term champion Roger Cage, then successfully retained against Cage at WrestleFestival. He got stuck in between a feud between Bulldozer Smith & Davis Wayne Newton, and he himself would eventually feud with Newton. They would have their first one-on-one match at In The Company Of Legends, where Jameson just sneaked out with the win. Newton looked like he was about win, but his cockiness led to Jameson catching him with the Kirk Hold, forcing DWN to tap out. Clearly, this feud is far from over. The sky is the limit for Jameson’s CGC career. CGC Cruiserweight Champion: Mikey James Reign Began: CGC Elimination (January 2017) 7 Successful Title Defenses James is the inaugural CW champion, as his cold blooded attitude and unlimited potential has kept him at the top. James has nearly cleared out the whole division, most recently completing his feud with Nicholas Lopez. He defeated Lopez the first time in tainted fashion, but there was no debating his decisive win in their rematch. Lopez now heads off to USPW now with a hefty 4 year contract (Sorry Nicky, I know you’re about to hit decline!). Mainstream Hernandez & Randy B are the most clear top contenders for James next, as they are the only top CW stars who have not yet been defeated by the dominant champion. CGC World Tag Team Champions: 4D (Donte Dunn & Daniel Drake) Reign Began: In The Company Of Legends (June 2017) (Dunn’s 2nd Reign) Dunn & Drake (aka Jack Avatar) just became the champs at the last show/PPV, ending the six month reign of The Golden Gangstas (Zeus Maxmillion & Sayeed Ali). CGC Commissioner Dawn Gemmell suggested Dunn & Drake team together because she believed both had immense potential, and they’ve been red hot ever since. Clearly, a rematch with the Gangstas is in their near future, as they have to prove their title victory wasn’t a fluke. But the teams are lining up for an opportunity. In fact, The Impact Players (Joss Thompson & Spencer Spade) just won a triple threat to receive a future tag team title shot.

Stupid windows update froze my aging computer. But I've lost one too many games in the past not to run a backup. Three backups actually, just in case. </p><p> </p><p> But I had to re-do Decolt WrestleFestival as a result. I was distracted with the PPV aftermath that I had yet to make a new backup. </p><p> </p><p> Only positive was that some of the matches actually improved the second time around. Ricky DeColt/Mr. Lucha fell to a 93, while Kirk Jameson/Roger Cage became MOTN with a 96. Biggest noticeable improvement was the Cruiserweight Scramble Match, which bumped up from a 78 to a 86.</p>

I couldn’t help but offer up the biggest show of the year for my CGC game, The DeColt WrestleFestival 2017. I decided to make DWF into a single show rather than the whole weekend, and in the process make it CGC’s Wrestlemania. Super duper important! If you’ve seen my recent posts, you could probably guess the main event. Does the king retain his throne? Or does the new stallion take his place at the top of the mountain? The final battle between Jack DeColt & Jay Chord takes place in the main event, in battle for the CGC World Heavyweight Championship…in 3 Stages of Hell! Just a quick note, CGC returned to National level just two weeks prior to DWF! Honestly, I thought it was going to be poetic with DWF putting CGC over the hump, but hey, I’ll take it! After so many years of seemingly dying away, CGC is back on the national spotlight! The match ratings weren’t as great as I hoped, but the event itself was filled with plenty of epic storylines. Anyway, here are the results of DeColt WrestleFest 2017! Non-Title Matches Ross Henry vs Gargantuan Henry stood up to Gargantuan when the mammoth tried to bully around smaller opponents, and these two men have been duking it out ever since. Henry manages to overcome the size advantage, and wipes Gargantuan with a Flying Shoulder Block from the top rope to get the win. (64) Mainstream Hernandez, Masked Cougar & Mario Da Silva vs The Aristocrats Representing the CGC Cruiserweight Division, Cougar & Da Silva has struggled with the numbers game in their feud with the Aristocrats (Ozzie Golden, La Estrella, & Justin Sensitive). Well, the numbers game had been evened up with CGC newcomer Mainstream Hernandez getting involved in the feud! Hernandez leads his team to victory in this Six Man Tag, as Hernandez hits the Apparition #14 on Sensitive for the 3. (78) Christian Price vs Bradford Peverell A tag team star up to now, Peverell aims to break through against Price, who is a bitter mainstay on the CGC who thinks he never gets the respect he deserves. Peverell brought the fight in the show open, but Price was just too much for him this time, as Christian puts the up and comer down with the Price Check. (79) Bulldozer Smith vs Davis Wayne Newton Two of the bigger up and comers on the CGC roster, this is a rematch from a previous encounter where Bulldozer pinned Newton (and put DWN’s manager Floyd Goldworthy in a neck brace after a Bulldozer Bomb!). Newton responded by trying to put Bulldozer on the shelf by attacking his knee with a chair. Bulldozer came into this match still limping and paid the price. As he attempted to hit a Bulldozer Bomb, Floyd Goldworthy pulled out the hurt leg under Smith, setting Newton up to crash down on top of Bulldozer! Newton got the 3…as Goldworthy held down that injured leg! (81) Table Elimination Match! Donte Dunn & Daniel Drake vs The True Born As these two teams prove themselves in the Tag Division, thus this feud has brewed and gotten ugly. After The True Born (Ash Campbell & Greg Gauge) put Dunn through a table, this match was made upon Dunn’s return from injury. True Born would put Daniel Drake (Jack Avatar) through a table first, but Dunn would rally back. First, he would thwart a True Born double team and back toss Campbell through a table. Then, after the two battled on the top rope, Dunn would put Gauge through a table with a Superplex! Dunn gets big time revenge and the win for his team! (86) Street Fight! Ricky DeColt vs Mr. Lucha Two of the top wrestlers in CGC, their pursuit of the CGC World Heavyweight Title has led to this blood feud. Both men have a win over each other, both men has cost each other opportunities, and Mr. Lucha has mocked the DeColt family name every chance he has gotten. Mr. Lucha crossed the line when he attacked Ricky’s brother, CGC Owner Alex DeColt, and it’s been war ever since. In a stunning turn of events, Alex DeColt would get involved in the hopes to help his brother Ricky, who was suffering from a shoulder injury after landing awkwardly on a successful moonsault. Alex would attempt to hit Lucha in the head with a steel chair…but hit his brother Ricky instead! Lucha would take full advantage, and hit both brothers with a Third Strike before pinning Ricky for the win! As a result of this win, Lucha receives a CGC World Heavyweight Title match, which he was promised to him if he defeated Ricky in a rubber match. Can you say a DeColt Brother Feud? Yes sir, this is only the start!!! Match of the Night! 97! WOOOOOOOO! CGC Title Matches! CGC World Tag Team Championship! The Golden Gangstas ( C ) vs Fro Sure & Island Boy Apollo vs Joss Thompson & Spencer Spade The Champs Zeus Maxmillion & Sayeed Ali got themselves stuck in the middle of the heated feud between Fro/Apollo & Thompson/Spade. Both teams had received title matches against the Gangstas, and both cost each other their opportunities. After the second match led to a crazy three team brawl, Comissioner Dawn Gemmell made this Triple Threat for the gold. Perhaps Fro/Apollo & Thompson/Spade were too busy continuing their feud, because the Champs took advantage and came out of the triple threat victorious. The Gangstas hit their tag finisher, The Shock Treatment (Spinebuster/Flying Knee Combo), on Island Boy Apollo to secure victory and continue their five month title reign. (77) CGC Cruiserweight Championship! 6 Man Scramble Match! Mikey James ( C ) vs Nicholas Lopez vs Randy B vs Frankie Perez vs Jamie Atherton vs Extraordinario Jr. Most people would be irate, but Mikey James welcomed the challenge when CGC Commissioner Dawn Gemmell announced the Cruiserweight Scramble Match in an attempt to make DWF that much more special. James is out to prove he is the best Cruiserweight in the world, and he grabbed hold of this opportunity. His title reign looked to be in jeopardy after several “title changes,” but James gained the final pinfall less than a minute left after hitting Frankie Perez with the Flying Scythe Kick. James would depart from ringside, allowing the clock to run out and secure his title reign through another defense! (78) CGC Canadian Championship! Ladder Match! Kirk Jameson ( C ) vs Roger Cage The culmination of this lengthy feud, The Smooth One cashes in his one on one rematch as he looks to regain the Canadian gold. It’s not the epic encounter that their first two matches were (I guess they don’t like ladders), but these men go all out to wear the gold. At the end of the match, they duke it out on the ladder until Jameson sends Cage tumbling after a big headbutt…and Cage’s leg gets caught on the ladder, and he’s stuck hanging upside down! Cage frantically tries to break free, but has to watch as Jameson retrieves the gold! Jameson remains CGC Canadian Champion! (87) THE MAIN EVENT! CGC World Heavyweight Championship! 3 Stages of Hell! Jay Chord ( C ) vs Jack DeColt Back in June 2016, Jack DeColt had to vacate the CGC World Title due to a broken leg. True Born leader Jay Chord would win the vacant title and wear it for six months before a returning DeColt finally received a one on one match with Chord. DeColt would win and become a 7 Time CGC Champion. Two months later, Chord would regain the gold in a Steel Cage after escaping the structure first. Chord is now the 2 Time Champion, but there is one thing he has never done. He has never pinned DeColt’s shoulders to the mat! It would appear he would need to do so to come out of 3 Stages of Hell still champion! Or will he? Chord wins the 1st Fall, a Standard Singles Match, after hitting DeColt with his Cradle Piledriver on the floor! Unable to move a motionless DeColt back into the ring, Chord takes the Countout and moves on to the next fall. DeColt recovers and ends up taking the Second Fall, an Aussie Rules Match! Chord tries to hit his Cradle Piledriver on a steel chair, but DeColt reverses and back tosses Chord onto the chair. DeColt locks on the End of Days and forces Chord to tap! It all comes down to the final fall, as a Steel Cage is lowered down onto the ring! It gets brutal, as both men eventually wear the crimson mask. DeColt catches Chord as Jay nearly escapes the cage, and Powerbombs the champ all the way to the match! DeColt covers for the pin, but Chord somehow manages to barely get his shoulder up! DeColt tries to lock in the End of Days again, but Chord rolls out of the attempt. As both men jump to their feud, DeColt walks right into Chord’s Cradle Piledriver! 1,2,3! Chord has pinned DeColt, and secured his spot at the top of the CGC mountain! (88) That does it for DeColt WrestleFestival 2017. What is next for CGC World Champion Jay Chord? Who knows? Perhaps a Canadian Champion by the name of Kirk Jameson? Maybe a fresh babyfaced Mr. Lucha? Hey, who knows!

<p>Another six months are history in my first CGC game with TEW2016, as the calendar switches over to 2017. Things have done a complete 180 in one year. October and November actually showed some profit for the first time when ticket and PPV sales took a big bump. The company lost money in December, but that’s only because I bolstered the roster with more talent and improved production and merchandise. It should only be a month or two before I’m back in the green. Barring a drop in wrestling popularity in Canada, I’m projecting CGC to hit National by mid 2017, maybe earlier. The glory days are (almost) back!</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Main Event</span></strong></p><p><strong> CGC World Heavyweight Champion: Jay Chord</strong></p><p> <em>1x, Reign Began June 2016, 8 Title Defenses</em></p><p> Jack DeColt broke his leg in June 2016, forcing him to vacate the World Title. Forget about coaxing Chord into the World Title picture after signing him in April, Jay won the vacant title and has been the #1 guy ever since. Ricky DeColt replaced his brother in a lengthy feud with Jay, but could never take the gold away from Chord.</p><p> </p><p> Chord leads his own stable known as the True Born, which includes Greg Gauge & Ash Campbell. Thinking they deserve everything due to their lineage, True Born has the talent to back up their claim. </p><p> </p><p> After his finale with Ricky DeColt, in December, Chord was booked in the Chambers of Horrors Match, aka a better version of the Extreme Eliminator Chamber! It was revealed by CGC Owner Alex DeColt that one of the men vying for a spot in the Chamber would be his brother Jack, returned from injury! </p><p> </p><p> Chord managed to sneak out of the chamber still as the champion (match included Chord, Jack & Ricky DeColt, Christian Price, Kirk Jameson, & Roger Cage). The Chamber match, however, was used only to propel the J DeColt – Chord feud that CGC fans have been waiting for. </p><p> </p><p> Right now, I plan on having J DeColt regain the title, just to emphasize the idea that Chord never beat Jack for the gold originally. Chord will win the rematch, and then the rubber match as age forty is about the rear its head for DeColt. </p><p> </p><p> Outside the title picture, I’ve been hoping to push Kirk Jameson as potential challenger, but he has hit a wall just about everywhere as far as talent improvement goes. While having 94 star quality, everything is else is good, not great. Even worse, his feud with Thom “Guide” Barrowman got dumped when Thom tore his Rotator Cuff (Barrowman was going to be in the CoH, and was replaced by Roger Cage the night of). I still have high hopes for Jameson, but for now I think I’m going to team him with my avatar, Daniel Drake, and allow the two to develop more together before pushing either as singles stars. My avatar is doing well, but still has a way to go. I need another solid face team anyway to challenge my tag champs, and potentially take the gold. </p><p> </p><p> Ricky DeColt is kind of in “no man’s land” right now after failing to beat Jay Chord for the World Title. Eventually, I plan on doing the brotherly feud with Jack, but that won’t be for awhile.</p><p> </p><p> Christian Price has been a mainstay in the main event throughout 2016, but his talents have also hit a wall, and he has only good star quality and entertainment skills. Now that I have a bunch of upcoming talent that are clearly going to be better if they keep improving, I’m going to slowly move him into the midcard and tag team division. Starting in January, he is going to be taking on a protégé by the name of Spencer Spade. </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Midcard</span></strong></p><p> <strong>CGC Canadian Champion: Roger Cage</strong></p><p> <em>1x, Reign Began May 2016, 9 Title Defenses</em></p><p> Cage has been the perfect midcard champion, putting over talents with foggy finishes, occasionally losing to the likes of Ricky DeColt, but always leaving with the gold. He just finished a lengthy feud with Buddy Garner, which included a MMA Cage Match where Cage tapped to the Garner Tendon Hold. Cage’s trusty lawyer, though, filed papers that forced Alex DeColt to make the special encounter a non-title match, due to it not being an “official” wrestling match! Cage would win their final encounter in December…in shady fashion! </p><p> </p><p> Just like Jay Chord, though, Cage is due to drop the title after a lengthy reign. I’ve been undecided on who to reward with a title victory, but I think I’m leaning towards turning Mr. Lucha face and have him feud with Cage. Both have excellent entertainment skills, so it should be fun! Cage is pretty much my Miz at this point, he doesn’t have the star quality (right now) to be a top guy, but he is the perfect guy to always be vying for a Canadian Title shot. So, most likely, there will be another Canadian Title reign in his future! </p><p> </p><p> The rest of my midcard is kinda foggy right now, but that’s a good thing because I’m in the process of building my own Cruiserweight Division! January 2017 will bring the start of a 16 man tournament to crown the first ever CGC Cruiserweight Champion! I even broke my rule of not battling top companies over talent, just to bring over Mikey James & Randy B (Bumfhole) to bolster the start of the division. For now, the Cruiserweights (Lightweights and lower) will only be separated as far as singles matches go. When CGC hits National and I can afford a larger roster, I’ll separate them all together, singles and tag teams. I haven’t officially decided on my first ever CW Champion, but its likely going to be Mikey James, Randy B, or Masked Cougar. Dark horse goes to Extraordinario Jr! </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tag Team Division</span></strong></p><p> <strong>CGC World Tag Team Champions: The Golden Gangstas (Zeus Maxmillion & Sayeed Ali)</strong></p><p> <em>1x, Reign Began November 2016, 2 Title Defenses</em></p><p> Maxmillion & Ali ended the 10 month reign of The Featured Attraction (Greg Black & Donte Dunn), their heated feud coming to an end in a well praised 2 out of 3 Falls match. Maxmillion & Ali were sinking as singles competitors as more talent came into CGC, so I decided to put the former rivals together. They rose to the top of the division fast. Together now, the Bronze God & East Side Assassin are the kings of the tag division.</p><p> </p><p> As far as the former champs go, Greg Black is moving on to focus as a singles star in the Cruiserweight Division. Donte Dunn, meanwhile, will shortly find a new partner in Ross Henry, who is ready to be pushed after a year as a enhancement talent. </p><p> </p><p> Right now, I’m mulling over the next top challenger. It will either be the beloved babyface team of Fro Sure & Extraordinario Jr., or the hard hitting team of Frankie Perez & Bradford Peverell, known as Excessive Contact. </p><p> </p><p> In random 2016 news…</p><p> </p><p> TCW fell to Cult Size for the second time in '16 after a sex scandal involving “office juniors” was revealed (yikes!). </p><p> </p><p> Whippy The Clown died at age 41 due to a “gardening accident”. </p><p> </p><p> Yoshimi Mushashibo was the Wrestler of the Year, SOTBPW was Company of the Year, Muruyama & Ugaki were Tag Team of the Year. </p><p> </p><p> Finally, my own CGC won Show of the Year (CGC Battle of Beyond, where Jay Chord vs Ricky DeColt scored a 98!).</p>

Needs to work on those entertainment skills for now!</p>

<p>Any Suggestions for my CGC World Tag Team Champions, Greg Black & Donte Dunn? Black is the mentor of Dunn, and together they've been champs for nearly 7 months now. I figured it was about time they got a team name.</p><p> </p><p> Trying to avoid the generic tag names, and well...a blatantly obvious "two black guys" tag team name. But I'm stumped on this one, nothing sounds good to me.</p><p> </p><p> Thanks for any thoughts!</p>

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. </p><p> </p><p> 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.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I'm intrigued by the choices made with CGC in TEW 2016. Had I given CGC a try when the game first came out, I'd probably get annoyed and move on to playing as a different company, one with more potential. </p><p> </p><p> It makes me wonder why CGC was built with such a lack of hope and potential. Was it to challenge the player? Or simply prove what CGC's description details, which is Alex DeColt has driven the company into the ground. I mean, the roster is pure trash, and so I think its meant to challenge a player. Aside from the DeColts and a couple other names, there is no hope for CGC in January 2016. </p><p> </p><p> The one positive is that CGC starts with 5 million, which you definitely need to turn it around. Aside from a bit overflated roster, I've been pinching pennies, and I'm around 4.1 million right now at six months in. I'll prob be a bit over 3 million before I finally start making money.</p><p> </p><p> It also helps to know who are the best indy stars in TEW2016, which I have a good handle on after two years. There are plenty of guys in the indies that can help revive CGC, that is, if you're willing to put the time in.</p>

<p>I just hit the six month mark in my first CGC game with TEW2016. Crazy to think how far CGC has sunk since recent games. I remember CGC being an awesome company to play as way back with TEW2005. But in 2016? Well, if I did a diary, I would call it “CGC: Saving The Sinking Ship.”</p><p> </p><p> To save CGC, I pretty much had to reconstruct the roster by about 90%. I can hear Alex DeColt’s teeth grinding, as week by week I toss aside most of the roster he built. Just a bunch of declining talents and guys who don’t appear to be much of a talent to begin with. </p><p> </p><p> To be honest, it kind of feels like I started a game with a self-created company, but that’s the only way I believe that CGC can be saved. Toss aside useless talent, bring in the best of the indy stars and steal away top talents when you can with minimal cost (i.e. TCW fell to Cult, so I’ve snatched some guys from them with written contracts, most notably Jay Chord). </p><p> </p><p> After sixth months, CGC barely looks like the company it was in January. The company is still losing money monthly, but every month it’s less and less. My goal is to be in the positives by the end of 2016. It’s going to be close!</p><p> </p><p> Roster size bounces back and forth around 45, but about a dozen or so are veterans I have on PPA contracts to job to up and coming talents. What I consider my “official” roster is about 30 guys currently. </p><p> </p><p> Anywho, here is how my 3 divisions look after six months.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Main Event</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Current CGC World Heavyweight Champion: Jay Chord</span></strong></p><p> Soooo Jack DeColt broke his leg in May…yup. Out for 5 ½ months. He was about to feud with Mr. Lucha, who won a #1 Contendership Tourmament, defeating rival Thom Barrowman in the finals. Yup, that sucked big time. </p><p> </p><p> The plan was to have Jay Chord feud with Ricky DeColt, put him over in a series of 3 matches, then set up Jack D verus Chord, where Jay would eventually win the title. So change of plans, Chord wins the vacant World Title in a Triple Threat (Ricky D, Lucha) at June’s PPV <em>In The Company of Legends</em>. </p><p> </p><p> Soooo pretty much everything is backwards now! Chord is going to feud with Ricky over the World Title, and a couple other top face guys while Jack is away. Then we’re back to the original plan in five months. Can Jack come back and retrieve his throne? Or is Chord now the true king of CGC? </p><p> </p><p> Prior to all this, Jack D feuded with Christian Price, who turned heel after growing tired of living in the DeColt shadow. The feud led to the DeColt Wrestle Festival, where Jack defeated Price in a Ladder Match. If need be, I’m leaving the door open to turn Price back to face if I need another major challenger for Chord in Jack’s absence. </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">The Midcard</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Current CGC Canadian Champion: Roger Cage</span></strong></p><p> The man I consider the perfect midcard champ…especially if his talent improvements hit a wall…Cage ended Zeus Maxmillion’s 4 ½ month reign at the May PPV <em>Code Red.</em> Cage would hit Zeus with a low blow before the Rage Cage to win the gold. In the rematch at <em>In The Company Of Legends</em>, Cage would get caught by the referee this time, and disqualified for yet another low blow. Maxmillion would recover and lay out Cage post-match, setting up a third and final match. </p><p> </p><p> Maxmillion, by the way, defeated Blockbuster for the Canadian Title in mid January, right at the start of my game. Sorry Blockbuster, but you’re awful.</p><p> </p><p> Outside the title picture, Kirk Jameson just finished a feud with Sayeed Ali, and will continue to climb up the roster. With all his talent and star quality, Jameson is destined to be challenging Chord or Jack DeColt for the World Title within a year’s time. </p><p> </p><p> Sayeed Ali…by the way…botched a move that cause Jack DeColt’s broken leg. All the DeColts hate him now!</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tag Team Division</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"> Current CGC Tag Team Champions: Greg Black & Donte Dunn</span></strong></p><p> I put Black & Dunn together so Dunn had a mentor to help him improve, but also as a solid stopgap as I developed a legit tag team division. They defeated The Predators for the gold at January PPV <em>Elimination,</em> and have turned into a very dependable duo. Kirk Jameson replaced Greg Black for a month as champion as he recovered from injury, and the team kept rolling when Black returned. Now, I’m not necessarily sure who is going to take the gold from Black & Dunn, because they’re doing such a good job!</p><p> </p><p> My top option right now is the Shade Gang, Bulldozer (Brandon) Smith & Jamie Atherton, who they’re currently feuding with. That was the plan, but Bulldozer is improving so fast, I don’t think I’ll have much choice but to push him as a singles star sooner rather than later! </p><p> </p><p> I’ve been looking at giving Sayeed Ali a solid tag partner, but that hasn’t worked out just yet. Character wise, I refuse to pick just anyone to team with a Light Heavyweight Brawler from the streets. </p><p> </p><p> Also thought of turning Zeus Maxmillion heel and teaming him with Ozzie Golden to make some hybrid Fashion Files – MNM type team. Also, I just want to give Golden a better partner than Antonio Del Veccio (who pretty much maxed out already). </p><p> </p><p> Also at the top of the division are the following duos: </p><p> The Ring Kings (Davis Wayne Newton & Billy Russell, w/ Phil Vibert as their mouthpiece)</p><p> The Disposables (Joey Poison & Frankie Perez)</p><p> High Style (Golden & Del Veccio)</p><p> Masked Cougar & Black Leopard (Jack Avatar’s gimmick as he develops)</p><p> </p><p> I’ll give another update when I hit January 2017!</p>

<p>I'm currently four months into my attempt to revive CGC from the sinking ship that it is. About to go into DeColt Wrestle Festival, which I made into a single day, and treated it like WrestleMania. </p><p> </p><p> The Bad News? One week out from the big show, and Thrill Seeker breaks his neck! A four month feud with Ricky DeColt, about to end at DWF, right down the toilet! Oh yeah, and DeColt was at fault with a botched move, so Seeker hates him now. Oooooof!</p><p> </p><p> The Good News? TCW felt to Cult, only offering PPA deals to their guys, so I'm poaching any guys with written contracts that the big companies don't sign. My latest signing? Jay Chord! Me thinks I know who is Jack DeColt's next big challenger! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />:D</p><p> </p><p> Gonna post a more extended review of my game when I get to the six month mark. See ya then.</p>

<p>I'm taking a break from my Golden Age (1987) game, desiring something different after playing it non-stop for months. Was going to put some time into the Clash of the Titans mod (1994), but it went horribly bad. Literally, I am NOT joking, every top star on the WWF roster failed a hard drug or steroid test in my first two months, except for Undertaker & The Harts. Then Undertaker got injured is out for over a year. I've never seen anything like it! So yeah...needless to say, I lost interest fast. For some reason, a Bret Hart - Irwin R. Schyster feud wasn't very appealing. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> I was about to start a game in the Montreal Aftermath mod (December 1997), then I decided....nothing beats the Cornellverse. Not for me, at least. So I was seeing what I haven't done on TEW2016 yet, and surprisingly, I've never done a game with CGC. That's the first company I ever played with, back with TEW2005! So screw it, let's do it!</p><p> </p><p> And sheesh...as you might know already, CGC is just a big bag of sadness. Easily the worst roster for any company Cult size or higher. No wonder I haven't played as the company yet! But I'm intrigued now, and I'm ready to dive in to see what I can do.</p><p> </p><p> So Jack Avatar has become the new owner of CGC. I think it's safe to say Alex DeColt has faced enough public scrutiny to sell the company to the higher bidder. Bring it promising, young talent. Toss out the useless, old talent. It's a simple strategy for CGC. It might just take a while to salvage this wreck! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> As that happens, my top feuds are Jack DeColt & Thrill Seeker fighting for the World Title, Ricky DeColt battling the demented Doink errr Whippy The Clown, Christian Price & Dan DaLay, and the promising stud Donte Dunn challenging Canadian Champion Blockbuster. Here's a hint how that feud ends...I'm a huge Donte Dunn fan! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Hennig & Dynamite Kid have good not great popularity, but I did think they'd at least get an 80 to start off the show, so that was disappointing. This was to be Hennig's coming out party. Following Mania, he officially becomes Mr. Perfect, while also becoming the 2nd member of McMahon's "Corporation." As mentioned, Hitman & Steamboat had poor chemistry, so that stinks. That was, too, their worst rating of their 3 matches. They got an 80 once, so I thought they could pull it off one more time. Admittedly, I was being stubborn, I really just wanted to do a Hitman & Steamboat feud. As for them after Mania, Steamboat has a feud with the Great Muta coming up, while Hitman is being depended on to put Sting over. Still deciding what to do with Hitman long term right now. Would love if his star quality got a bit of a upgrade, sooner rather than later. He got a bump awfully quick in my first go-around with the Golden Age mod. Hasn't happened yet this time. Haha, maybe a World War 3 in the future?

<p>It’s that times of year in my Golden Age mod. That’s right, it’s time for…</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://www.hoffco-inc.com/wwe/ppv/ppv/img/logo-wm04.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> I usually copy and paste a picture of the official results from the game, but the results are MASSIVE. With all the promos and hype highlights in between matches, the show was at least 3 ½ hours long. So here ya go, I’ve written out all the match results.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Dark Matches</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Big Van Vader defeated Manny Fernandez. (76)</p><p> </p><p> The Great Muta won a 20 Man Battle Royal. Bob Backlund, Austin Idol, & Butch Reed were the finalists, with Backlund being the runner up. Reed had the most eliminations. (80)</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">LIVE on Pay-Per-View!</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Curt Hennig defeated former tag team partner Dynamite Kid after hitting the Hennig Plex. (76)</p><p> </p><p> In Six Man Tag Team Action, Tully Blanchard, Jim Neidhart, & Owen Hart defeated Kevin Von Erich and Stars & Stripes (Sgt. Slaughter & Jim Duggan). Arn Anderson interfered, allowing Blanchard to hit Von Erich with a Piledriver for the win. (80)</p><p> </p><p> <em>Two tag team matches were molded together after Arn Anderson was injured days prior to the PPV.</em></p><p> </p><p> Barry Windham answers Paul Bearer’s “Grave Challenge,” and unfortunately falls victim to The Undertaker and the deadly Tombstone Piledriver. (79)</p><p> </p><p> <em>Paul Bearer asks the entire WWF locker room if there is anyone else back there who is daring enough to answer his “Grave Challenge.” The crowd erupts as the music of the Snake plays! Jake Roberts appears, back from rehab errr injury! The match never starts, but rather the Snake & Taker brawl until Snake knocks Taker out of the ring. Bearer pulls Taker from ringside, as Roberts stands tall in the ring. The Snake gets a standing ovation at Wrestlemania 4!</em></p><p> </p><p> Razor Ramon defeats The British Bulldog after a timely rake of the eyes allows him to roll up the Bulldog. (75)</p><p> </p><p> In a 2 out of 3 Falls Match, Tito Santana rallies from a 0-1 start to defeat former Strike Force partner, Rick Martel. In the 3rd fall, Santana hits the Flying Forearm to the win, ending their 6 month feud. (85)</p><p> </p><p> Sting & Nikita Koloff defeated Heenan Family’s Haku & Rick Rude. After being beaten up and kicked out of the Heenan Family, Paul Orndoff made a surprise return at Mania! He distracts Rude (who sneak attacked him) long enough for Sting to hit Haku with a Diving Clothesline for the 3! (82)</p><p> </p><p> Andre The Giant defeated Jimmy Snuka after a big body slam and an even bigger elbow drop. (80)</p><p> </p><p> In a Lumberjack Match, Ted Dibiase defeated Harley Race, ending their 7 month long feud. The Lumberjack Match was meant to stop interference from the Million Dollar Corporation, but yet it was MDC member Bobby Eaton distracting Race, allowing Dibiase to clobber Harley with some foreign object (brass knuckles?). (89)</p><p> </p><p> Rhythm & Blues defeated The Majestics (Michael P.S. Hayes & Magnificent Muraco). Honky Tonk Man hit Muraco in the spine with his guitar as he was coming off the ropes. Muraco tumbled to the mat, allowing Greg Valentine to drop the big Hammer (Elbow Drop) for the 3. (82)</p><p> </p><p> In their rubber match, WWF Intercontinental Champion Bret Hart defeated Ricky Steamboat to retain his title. Hart blocked Steamboat’s sunset flip right into a pinning position, and the referee never caught Hitman holding the ropes! (75)</p><p> </p><p> <em>It turned out Hart & Steamboat had bad chemistry. Still, I was committed to this feud and saw it through to the end. It was fun, at least!</em></p><p> </p><p> Hulk Hogan defeated Jerry Lawler by DQ after Vince McMahon struck Hogan with a Steel Chair before he could hit the big Leg Drop. (96!)</p><p> </p><p> <em>McMahon & Lawler attempted to beat down Hogan, but the Hulkster eventually turned the tide. A Double Noggin’ Knocker, and Lawler tumbles to the floor! The crowd erupts as McMahon is left alone with Hogan! Hogan gets some revenge on Vince, who has made his life a living heel for months! A barrage of fists and the big boot to the face! The crowd goes nuts as Hogan delivers the big Leg Drop to McMahon! Lawler carries McMahon from ringside as Hogan celebrates his small taste of victory.</em></p><p> </p><p> In a Street Fight, WWF World Tag Team Champions The Road Warriors defeated Million Dollar Corporation members Bob Orton & Stan Hansen to retain their titles. All four men bloody and battered, Hawk & Animal hit Orton with the Doomsday Device for the victory. (81)</p><p> </p><p> In The Main Event of Wrestlemania 4, Roddy Piper defeated Randy Savage to become the <strong>NEW</strong> WWF World Heavyweight Champion! In an epic clash between two legends of this industry, Piper kicked out of Savage’s Flying Elbow, then rolled out of the way of the second! With Savage staggered, Piper locked on the Sleeper Hold! Relentless, Piper refused to let go until Savage slumped to the mat! Finally, the referee jumped up and called for the bell! Hot Rod did it! Hot Rod did it! (99!!!)</p><p> </p><p> <em>The crowd is in awe as Piper celebrations with the WWF World Title. A lifetime achievement fulfilled, Piper finally wins the championship that’s been chasing after for years. Now we can only wonder…how could the rematch possibly match up to this epic clash?</em></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Show Rating: 97</span></strong></p>

MDC Leader Ted DiBiase would get involved, grabbing Muraco’s leg from ringside, allowing Hansen to hit the deadly Lariat!</p><p> </p><p> As MDC celebrated, the crowd erupted as the champs, The Road Warriors appeared! Irate after suffering a MDC beatdown weeks ago, Hawk & Animal get some revenge on Orton & Hansen before MDC flee from ringside! We all knew this feud was far from over, and now we’ll see the rematch at Wrestlemania!</p><p> </p><p> Jimmy Snuka has had his issues with the Heenan Family, specifically Haku. It led to this match, and it was hard to ignore Andre The Giant at ringside. Snuka hits his Flying Splash, but when he makes the cover? Andre reaches through the ropes and drags Snuka right out of the ring! The referee calls for the DQ as Andre chokes the life out of Snuka at ringside. Numerous wrestlers appear just to pull the Giant off of Superfly! </p><p> </p><p> After winning the first ever Royal Rumble, Roddy Piper has a date with the WWF Champion, Randy Savage, at Wrestlemania. Ever since then, he has been taking on the Macho Kingdom left and right. This time, it’s Savage’s right hand, Prince (Rick) Martel! Despite interference from the Royal Rook (Hercules), Piper still picks up the W, as the referee calls for the bell when the Sleeper Hold is locked in tight!</p><p> </p><p> Ricky Steamboat and Stars & Stripes (Duggan & Slaughter) have aligned together due to their ongoing issues with the Hart Foundation. It led to this Six Man War. Despite being assaulted by the Foundation earlier in the week, Steamboat and S&S still manage to win here, as The Dragon knocks out Owen Hart with the Flying Chop. Bret Hart might not like it, but the IC Champ is not done yet with the former champ!</p><p> </p><p> Jerry Lawler & Randy Savage’s issue began in January, when Savage barely kept his title against Lawler…with some help from the Macho Kingdom! A rivalry ensued, as both men claim to be the only king in WWF. It led to this match. No WWF Title on the line, just the crowns! Two Kings enter, One King Leaves!</p><p> </p><p> The referee got knocked down late in the match. Savage grabbed hold of his royal scepter. Before he could use it, Roddy Piper would appear and snatch the scepter right out of Savage’s hands from behind! An irate Savage would begin to argue with Piper, allowing Lawler to roll up Savage from behind! 1,2,3! Savage absolutely flips as Piper raises Lawler’s arm, while Lawler raises the one and only crown in the WWF! The Macho King is no more!</p><p> </p><p> It all comes down to this. Who is responsible for making the WWF the #1 wrestling company in the world? Tired of Hulk Hogan getting all the credit, Vince McMahon constructed a plan in the shadows to destroy Hulkamania. Abandoned by Randy Savage & The Macho Kingdom, McMahon has been left all alone. After being screwed numerous times by McMahon, Hogan would coax Vince’s own ego to convince him to agree to a one on one match with the Hulkster! McMahon would try to walk back on the match, but the WWF board supported the verbal agreement.</p><p> </p><p> Cue the epic contract signing and the McMahon training montages. Days before the big-time match, McMahon confronted Hogan and promised that Hulk would regret “crossing the boss.” </p><p> </p><p> The crowd is on their feet as Hogan & McMahon face off across the ring. McMahon tries to bail before the match starts, Hogan gives chases and pummels Vince all over ringside and down the aisle! As Hogan tosses McMahon back into the ring, Hogan gets clobbered from behind with a steel chair by…Jerry Lawler?! What the hell?!</p><p> </p><p> With a shocked crowd watching, Lawler proceeds to assault Hogan with the chair. A maniacal McMahon barks orders from the corner of the ring. Lawler then proceeds to Piledriver Hogan three times, the third time on the steel chair! A beloved fan favorite mere minutes ago, the crowd throws debri at Lawler as McMahon raises The King’s arm while they stand over an injured Hulkster! The crowd goes completely silent as Hogan is taken out on a stretcher, a brace around his neck.</p>

<p>(February 1988) So I'm huge on Star Quality, I'll always push someone with B+ Star Quality and up if they're a good enough talent in-ring. And right now? I have a bunch of new talent coming up from my farm (OVW) that are oozing star quality, who just need exposure. </p><p> </p><p> I'm not letting these guys go to waste. Problem is, WrestleMania is right around the corner, and all my top talent are in the middle of feuds already! So, I'm just trying to keep these guys busy without doing the same thing with each one. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Sting:</strong> My only newcomer face, the definition of white meat babyface. Celebrating with fans, training montages, Sting is the new superstar you want to love. Pretty much, I'm setting him up as the next IC Champion when Bret Hart & Ricky Steamboat are done with their feud.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Great Muta:</strong> The mysterious stranger from Japan, Muta is currently being courted by WWF managers. Who will gain him as a client? Who knows, but the star from Japan continues to win. He nearly gets DQ'ed every time, though, for refusing to break his Muta Lock! A feud with Sting is in his future, but I'm keeping them apart for now. Rated Top Wrestler in the World!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Scott Hall:</strong> Or should I say Razor Ramon? The Bad Guy is racking up victories on my development show (Wrestling Challenge). The British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith is said to be returning from injury (rehab) soon, and apparently, Razor plans on "welcoming him back."</p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Undertaker:</strong> Led by Paul Bearer, the deadman has a very long undefeated streak in his future. I'm sticking to history here. Scare everyone until everyone loves him! Speaking of history, a Hogan feud could very well be in his future, in about a year's time. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Big Van Vader:</strong> Last but not least, I'm going the tag route with Vader. He's the one guy of the five who could use some more in-ring improvement. And who could be a better tag partner/manager than The Taskmaster? Vader will never take the loss for his team, and eventually, he'll turn on Sullivan and go on his merry way. </p><p> </p><p> I thought about creating WWF's version of the Dungeon of Doom with Muta, Taker, & Vader. Changed my mind last minute, it felt too forced. Besides, I really want to goof off a bit and create the Varsity Club with Sullivan eventually. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I have a sneaky feeling that VKM with find some back up (Taker?)</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> Well, as a minor spoiler alert, you're on the right track. I did have to go to Plan B, though, because Plan A consisted of a fresh out of rehab Adrian Adonis. Big fan of Adonis, and this was going to be his big push. Unfortunately, Adonis is ticked that I sent him to rehab (2nd drug test failure), and he refuses to resign with WWF. Only has a few weeks left under contract. Oh wells...</p>

Fell behind on my game because of the holidays, but here we go! The first ever WWF Royal Rumble PPV! Show Notes: That 71 score for the opener was baffling. Lowest wresting rating was an 82. Didn’t expect a 95, but with no negative notes, that was a big head scratcher! The feud between former tag team partners continues, as Prince (Rick) Martel wins his rematch against Tito Santana. The 2nd in Command behind Macho King Randy Savage, Martel proves why he was named the Prince of the Macho Kingdom! Martel dodges Santana’s Flying Forearm, sending Tito into a hot shot. Martel rolls up Santana from behind, and gets the 3 with a handful of trunks! As you might assume, becoming Prince Martel is Rick’s first step into becoming a bonafide singles superstar. Eventually, the Model will be born! The prized graduate of OVW, Sting makes his PPV debut at the Royal Rumble, defeating veteran Nikolai Volkoff! Ricky Steamboat finally receives his return match against IC Champion Bret Hart, and he looked primed to regain the gold. Unfortunately, the Hart Foundation wouldn’t let that happen. Before Steamboat could cover Hart after a Flying Chop, Jim Neidhart & Owen Hart hit the ring and attacked Steamboat, causing the DQ! Stars & Stripes (Jim Duggan & Sgt Slaughter) hurried to the ring for the rescue, saving Steamboat from significant damage. Having their own problems with the Harts, S&S and Steamboat send the Foundation fleeing. Sadly, Steamboat gets the win…but not the gold! The lengthy feud between Harley Race & Ted DiBiase only becomes grittier, as DiBiase cheats his way to a victory in a rematch with Race. MDC follower Bobby Eaton would distract the referee, allowing DiBiase to clock Race with something from his tights, then hid the foreign object before being caught! DiBiase laughs at celebrates, pleased with the way he has toppled his heated rival! Road Warriors versus Bob Orton & Stan Hansen was just as promised. Just a brutal brawl that the referee couldn’t control, even in the slightest. Eventually, the match spilled out to the ring, and the competitors were too busy beating each other up to care at all about the ten count. The brawl didn’t end with the match, though, as the locker room would clear to separate these four men. Clearly, nothing was solved in this Tag Team Title match! Royal Rumble Stats! Iron Man: Tito Santana Most Eliminations: Roddy Piper Final Four: Roddy Piper, Jerry Lawler, Ted DiBiase, & Andre The Giant The first ever Royal Rumble comes down to the two men who feuded the entire fall of 1987, Andre The Giant & Roddy Piper. Once more, it looks like Piper is going to fall to the giant. Giant lifts Piper into the air to dump out of the ring, but Piper breaks off behind Andre! Piper shoves Andre forward, tipping him over the top rope! Piper clobbers away, lefts and rights, knocking Andre further and further over! Finally, as Andre is nearly upside down, Piper pushes on Andre’s legs until the Giant tips over and drops to the floor! Hot Rod has done it! In his post-match promo, Piper puts it perfect. “I’M GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA!!!” In his final chance to regain the WWF World Heavyweight Championship, Hulk Hogan goes to war against Macho King Randy Savage in a Steel Cage! Hogan fights off all the odds, as all of Savage’s followers in the Macho Kingdom attempt to get involved. Hogan takes them all out, and eventually drops the big Leg Drop on Savage! Hogan calls for the cage door to be opened. As Hogan exits the cage, Vince McMahon slams the cage door right on Hulk’s skull! McMahon gets involved again to stop Hulkamania! Hogan falls to the mat, seemingly out cold! Savage crawls over Hogan, and crawls right out of the cage to regain the WWF Title! McMahon has screwed Hulkamania again! What’s Next? The March To Wrestlemania! The final big show before Wrestlemania IV! Before Macho King has to fend with Rumble Winner Roddy Piper at Mania, he is at odds with whom he calls an imposter, “King” Jerry Lawler. The WWF Title isn’t on the line, but the crown is! Two Kings enter, One King leaves at the March To Wrestlemania! Speaking of Savage, after his final battle with Hogan, Macho King makes its clear he is done with Vince McMahon. Savage admits he only used McMahon to rid himself of Hogan! Left all alone, McMahon is coaxed into a singles match against Hulk Hogan! Hogan played into McMahon’s ego to convince him to accept the challenge! But wait a minute…could it all actually be a ploy by the evil McMahon? I guess we’ll find out! And as, Sting begins to make a name for himself into the WWF, two more new interesting names have appeared on the scene. Managers like Bobby Heenan and Jimmy Hart are trying to learn what they can about the international sensation, The Great Muta! All these managers see money in Muta’s future! And if you think the Great Muta might be odd…weighing in at 320 pounds…from Death Valley…I give you…The Undertaker!!!
