Finally won a major end of year award. So happy. Take that, AJPW, take that, NJPW, that that, Kawada, take that, Hase!

Randy Savage and Brian Pillman won the 1994 match of the year. Might be recency bias for the voters since it happened in November. Not that I am complaining. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Dave Meltzer now has simmering tension with Pillman and Savage. jk That would be amusing, though.

You better believe Pillman will celebrate this achievement on the first episode of Raw 1995. Even if he did lose the match.

Another of these lone wolf type characters. I'm not all that familiar with the Punisher. I didn't see the movie or anything. I can pretend WWF and Marvel are co promoting.

The 411 on Survivor Series. The Freaks come out (Steiner, Otis Apollo and Harlem Heat) beat The Warriors. (Warrior, RVD, 2 Cold and Scott Taylor) Steiner has the upper hand over Warrior at the minute. This will be a Wrestlemania 11 match. Warrior is going to running closeline the head off Scott Steiner in the rumble match. They will eliminate each other. Steiner and Booker survived the match. Warrior was counted out. Cloud 9 (HBK, Triple H, Edge and Kid Waltman) defeated The Bad Guys. (Bret Hart, Randy Savage, Razor Ramon and Darkside) Shawn was the sole survivor. His march to the top continues. He has been taunting Bret recently. I'm thinking either Bret or Shawn fore the Royal Rumble. All Japan and New Japan came together because Ted Dibiase paid the money to bring them here. He wanted a hard challenge for Bates Motel before their tag team title cage match with 2 Dope in a couple of weeks. One event talent trade with Misawa and Wild Pegasus. They defeated Bates Motel by DQ. It scored 87. Brian Pillman retained the WWF title against Stone Cold in a last man standing match. 99. I did the old masked man interferes and lays Austin out with a weapon. The masked man is going to be........ Mike Tyson!!! Yes, it's happening at Wrestlemania 11. I know he is coming into the game in January 1995. Instead of LT vs Bam Bam, we're getting the much superior, Austin vs Mike Tyson. I'm going to edit Tyson stats a little, not turn him into a world beater wrestler, but I'm going to pretend he had months of training by Ric Flair and Bruno Sammartino, etc. Brian Pillman followed that with a defeat to Randy Savage on Monday night Raw. non title, if Savage won he would get the title shot at Royal Rumble. Not bad for a man on the decline. Pillman again proves why he is the greatest thing in Wrestling today. <img alt="100.png" data-src="https://s4.postimg.org/er5ska17x/100.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> My second 100 match and Pillman has been part of both of them. Ken Shamrock defeated Frank Castle in a non sanctioned MMA match. I couldn't have Castle win their first match and Ken Shamrock is a credible force in my world. This must continue.

August 16, 2016

buy WWA-NJ

I made an offer to try it out, but they are not in bad enough position to sell.

September 1994

Erik Watts has turned into a decent performer after being the protege of Jim Duggan. Lacking the entertainment stats, but he is a good hand.

Triple H is improving fast after being the protege of Ted Dibiase. He recently invented a new catchphrase to get his mic skills up a bit. He is not willing to put on weight at the minute.

August 15, 2016

Summerslam 1994 is in the books.

Disappointing main event. I was expecting better with Pillman vs Owen vs Bret, but if you imagine this is real and it was only announced a week before Summerslam, after Taker vs Pillman is built up for two months, then you would expect to take the hit. It got 90. That is down from recent main events. Going for Pillman vs Bret at the next SNME. Owen was the one that got pinned by Pillman in the match. The idiot thought he and Brian had an understanding. Wut?

Scott Steiner attacked The Warrior after Warrior beat Darkside. Pushups included. Steiner gets the big feud he desires. Steiner beat Jim Duggan earlier on. I increased Steiner to Heavyweight immediately and now he has 100 star power and the extra menace. Amazing what a hair cut can do.

Razor and Shawn had the match of the night 95. Razor is now a three time intercontinental champion. Randy Savage returned before the match and was all jovial. I'm just here to watch this match, oh yeah!

I'm not sure if I will continue with Razor and Shawn. I think this is it for now. Shawn will be in world title contention soon. He is still extremely happy after the Summerslam loss.

Frank Castle and Ken Shamrock had a staredown and I felt the electricity. Castle crushed Kama. Just have to decide what sort of match I will do with Shamrock and Castle. Maybe Billy Corgan has an idea for me. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/confused.png.d4a8e6b6eab0c67698b911fb041c0ed1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Edge has lust in his eyes, Jack. Kimberly is on his mind and her distraction led to Adrenaline (Watts and Bagwell) scoring the upset win over Prestige. Hunter Warburg is now called Triple H. I just had to go with it.

Bates Motel retained the tag team titles against 2 Dope.

Stone Cold Steve Austin beat Yokozuna. Yeah, what a shocking result. First time I'm having writers block on this game. Not sure what to do with Austin for the rest of the year. :/ Looking back at this post, it could be time for Owen vs Austin. No piledriver or any variation allowed!!

It is all coming to me now. Austin was screwed out of the title with a fast count. He will come out when Bret is announced as number one contender. Bret will praise Austin like he did in 96, this time he will call him the best all rounder or some crap like that. Austin can be all, ''save the praise, son''.Bret and Austin did get 99 together as Wrestlemania 9 main event and I haven't went back to it yet. I'm certainly going to.

So this can lead to Owen coming out and trying to taunt Austin. Respect the king, etc. ''Brian pinned you last night, Al Burke has a better claim to be number one contender''. Owen is owned. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> And we're off.

Still gutted that the Undertaker left. Biggest loss yet overall. Yes, more than Hogan. I'm thinking my user stats could be the cause because these wrestlers just became unhappy out of the blue for the most part. Yes, Jericho was an exception. Undertaker was clique building, Warrior/Sherri/Bam Bam and they were never in trouble recently. Suddenly, Undertaker is very unhappy.

Dr Wagner Jr. did beat Rey Mysterio Jr. in an 84 opener. The Jr heavyweight title was not on the line. Would have been pointless to have a title change.This just makes it seem like Rey Mysterio is not all he is cracked up to be and the other jr heavyweights are licking their lips. Especially Kid Waltman.

August 15, 2016

Undertaker becomes the latest man to walk out on me meaning the Summerslam main event got screwed. Instead, it will be Pillman vs Owen vs Bret. Bret has just returned. He was owed another title rematch after the last match ended in draw. This will be Bret first match since Wrestlemania. Owen is not furious about this. After beating Bret and becoming King of the ring, he has turned into a real confident young man. Just a shame he is missing certain things I need as my champion.

Shawn Michaels star quality is up a bit due to a weight gain. Ladder match coming next vs Razor Ramon. They should tear the house down.

On the positive side, I did get Scott Steiner in and he is going blond straight away. Sunny is now in the game and she will be one of his freaks. Beulah and Debbie Malenko have nothing to do since Jericho left, so they can also be his freaks. Steiner and Beulah have no chemistry. She will just be appearing in segments. Sunny is the official manager.

The Summerslam card. I'm starting to look a little weak.

WWF title: Brian Pillman vs Bret Hart vs Owen Hart

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Yokozuna

Yokozuna is now controlled by the money. Yoko distraction and Bam Bam attack on Raw a few weeks ago. Austin took 2 banzai drops and his ribs are badly bruised. Also, Brandon Scofield ( Shane McMahon) freely admitted that Ted Dibiase paid him to make a fast count in The Austin vs Pillman match. He is no longer a ref, but he will be kept around.

Tag titles: Bates Motel vs 2 Dope

IC title ladder match: Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon

Kama vs Frank Castle ( Shamrock has returned after winning his fight. Castle will call out Shamrock after he defeats Kama)

The Ultimate Warrior vs Darkside

Warrior was in a room and he just starting shaking his head and screaming Darkside over and over again. Random match to give Warrior a win. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

JR heavyweight title. Rey Mysterio Jr vs Dr Wagner Jr. (talent trade).. Dr is more popular than Rey and I can't see him losing. Rey has been asking for this match for months.

Prestige (Hunter and Edge) vs Erik Watts and Bagwell.

Scott Steiner vs Marty Jannetty

TV title: Raven vs Dean Malenko (2/3 falls)

Kidman, Black Dragon and Brooklyn Brawler (Raven's flock) vs Sugar Shane Helms and The Smoking Gunns.

August 14, 2016

I second this

Boni Blackstone also agrees. I've got her pop up to rival Mean Gene just by throwing her in all those freestyle angles. Singing the anthem at Wrestlemania as well. Kimberly Page has a role for life. Shooting t shirts and kissing Bagwell before his matches. The less sinister version of AJ and Daniel Bryan. Bagwell is up to midcard already. Lucky he came in when he did because he would have been in development now.

First signing for WWFNG (Next Generation) is Otis Apollo ''the arrogant one''. We got ourselves a new model. His stats look decent enough. He could make it.

WCW sign Chris Jericho, but they are pulling a Vince move here. He is using the Corazon De Leon name. And just to add to the beating I'm taking at the minute, Jericho is the half year winner of young wrestler of the year. I finally get a guy in contention and now he is gone.

http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq41/TheMonsterAbyssWS/hemad.png

WCW are now beating me by 200 points and my popularity is finally taking a hit.

August 14, 2016

91 average and several 100 matches. Go Phil.

August 14, 2016

I enjoy reading your updates, good stories on the go and its good to see them play out without it being s full diary.

Im curious but, how do you manage to get through it all so quickly?

It takes me about 30-45 minutes to book a show in present day WWE. So I reckon I could get through a month probably in an actual month. You seem to rattle through them. Do you use autobooking?

Thanks. A diary would be too much work for me, so this thread is perfect.

No real social life at the minute might explain why I get through the game so quickly. I have the months planned ahead, but often wing it until I get to the big events.

The main thing that kills time for me this year is Freestyle angles. One of the greatest things to ever happen for TEW. In previous editions, I would never be looking forward to booking a show unless it was a ppv. Having to write an angle every single time was exhausting, especially the not so important angles. You would make a mistake with the angle and have to write it again, or not bother and take the hit for Vader being rated on sex appeal, etc.

I run a 2.5/3 hour Raw every fortnight and can get through a show in about 10 minutes. One big event a month, either a SNME or a ppv. Raw will be the longest running show on fortnightly TV. I run a 1 hour B show every week and I usually use autobook for that unless I have a match booked from Raw. No overexposure here. It is not exactly realistic to do a Raw every fortnight, but it helps keep me focused.

Running WWE today is a nightmare for me. I had more fun trying a NJPW game and I have no clue about Japanese wrestling, nothing other than what Dave Melzter has told me on his shows. No interference was tough to deal with since I'm a fan of non endings. Just is a sign of the fun I had as a fan watching all these different eras.

Small update on the game. I'm opening a development company. I think I've done a good job of introducing new characters, but now the money is there and might as well put it to good use.

The Lance Storm notice did amuse me. In real life, I can picture Storm and Jericho walking out together on WCW TV. The AI is known to be a little strange, though, so I'm hoping they never go for Jericho until I do. Storm too. Jericho is hard to get over haha. I built him up and gave him the great angles and matches. Hardly ever lost. Damn it. That is why I can see the + for having a young lion system.

August 13, 2016

Me again.

If you've been reading, you know Chris Jericho has been one of my best pushes and his single career hasn't even really kicked off yet. It might never kick off now. I really do suck at managing my backstage.

Jericho beat up Paul Bearer. wtf? I fine him and Chris goes in a huff. I had a feeling this was coming because his morale went to very angry, that mixed with a very negative attitude. I do an emergency tag title change on Raw (Bates Motel won the titles. Lance Storm takes the fall!) Next day, Chris Jericho asks for his release. I refuse and then he says he will sit out the rest of the contract. So I let him go.

That is Savage, Shawn, Hogan and Jericho that have walked out on me in this game. Shawn and Savage came back. If Jericho goes to WCW, I'm in trouble because his rating is in the 800s. I just lost my first national battle due to WCW senile star power.

Big blow.

King Brian Pillman won the WWF title on his final night as King. He is now about to change into another gimmick. It was pretty epic as he came out to kiss the ring of Owen Hart after Owen won the tournament. 2 heel in harmony. Pillman is awesome. Not sure how Owen can top Brian as King. He raised the level.

Owen defeated Lance Storm in the final. Lance, I'm sorry, but you're pretty much doomed right now. Just remember, you know who to blame for this. Paul Bearer. I think he will be fine, he did score a flash pin on Michaels in the semi final. Most amusing thing was that Shawn had no problem even if he has the most negative ever. He is extremely happy at the moment because I let him break the rules. He fails tests and I let him off with it.

I did the screwy ref finish in the Austin vs Pillman match. I was going to have somebody interfere, but I added some drama instead. This will push Austin closer to what he was in real life. I use this angle at least once every game. I'm sure I've used it before in this thread during my previous game.

Looking to do Brian Pillman vs The Undertaker as the main event of Summerslam.

Just booked KOTR. Pillman vs Austin got a match of the night 98. Then I get this. Looks like Lance had a good idea that the future was not looking good. That Hogan in Germany picture was awesome, though. lol I couldn't be angry after that.

Looks like we have our Raw main event sorted out. Shawn Michaels delivering some sweet chin music to Lance. Revenge for the embarrassing king of the ring defeat. This wont be 50/50, this will be 99/1 for the final two weeks I have with Lancelot.

August 12, 2016

I now have my plan for heel Jericho. Still at least 18 months - 2 years away. I wonder how long I can go here? Not a chance to catch my WMMA 3 game that had 25-30 years, at least I don't think so. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

For a man that seems to make all the right moves, holding a rock concert was not one of them. Jericho is disgraced. Oh dear, this is coming off like Double J and Road Dogg. It will be revealed that Lance Storm is really the singer. lol Nah, nothing like that, just somebody sabotages his concert debut. It flops and Jericho is never ever the same again!!! Ted Dibiase will still be with me at this time. Hint hint.

The end is near for Mr Perfect. Still amazing in the ring, but I'm struggling to think of anything that makes him not just another guy. He lost to Austin at SNME, did the old he had foot on the rope, but the ref didn't see it. Another of my preferred options to justify a rematch. I'm still booking the Raw after SNME, been busy, but Perfect will rematch and we have a ref outside the ring.

''I don't give a damn if you have 10 referee's out there. It is not going to change a thing. Mr Perfect is going to get his ass whipped again and that's the bottom line''

Apology for the language, folks. Vince is sitting at the commentary desk and can't quite believe the popularity of this man. No plans for Vince vs Austin. Arnie vs Austin could be done at some point since my plan was to do Hogan vs Arnie. Don't really see any reason not to do it later on.

Vince is definitely loosening the grip on his wallet. I'm now up to 10 million and managed to outbid WCW for Lance Storm. A year os so ago I would have lost Storm. It doesn't hurt that I offer most of them 10 year contracts.

August 12, 2016

Booking the Raw after SNME and starting the build to King of the ring. There will be vignettes of Pillman at a castle, showing some lunatic personality, but being good enough to make it work. I think Pillman will get the title back at KOTR. Austin got his win at Mania and became the top dog, Pillman will be his rival. They did score 100 at Wrestlemania after all. The greatest match of all time! And no rematch the night after Pillman wins the title back. No pointless one night Kane reigns here.

As for Austin, well, we haven't seen Darkside since Wrestlemania so maybe he gets involved in the rematch because I just go to that interference well much too often. Then we can get Undertaker and Austin involved in a storyline together, but not facing each other. I do smell a stunner for Taker, though. Be rude not to.

Dean Malenko will praise Rey Mysterio Jr. Why? Because he respects his work and because Raven is lurking in the background. Raven will make jokes about Malenko dropping back down to Jr heavyweight because he can't compete with the real men. Malenko is still a heel and I don't really have problems booking heel vs heel as long as I don't go overboard.

The Hardy Boyz will be young lions and will take some defeats. This will build character. Maybe a year away from Royal Flush vs The Hardyz. I'm surprised at how long I've kept Jericho as a face. He is right at the top of my most popular wrestler list and hasn't really had any single storylines since Ted Dibiase. Might not even turn him.

Cloud 9 (Shawn, Hunter and Shane Douglas) will be walking about bragging about their conquests over the weekend. Shawn is going on about his great win to become the intercontinental champion. (92 vs RVD) Razor Ramon bumps in to them and this is all to set up a ladder match with Shawn and Razor at Summerslam 1994. Thinking of having the 2 belts. Shawn will be suspended for not showing up at Press Conferences. Razor becomes interim champion and WWF becomes UFC.

2 Dope are at a crossroads. RVD is beginning to doubt himself and 2 Cold Scorpio has started a dreaded losing streak. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Will they have a happy ending? Of course. I'm a fan of their work and I'm running this show.

Bates Motel and Ted Dibiase seems like an odd combination. I'm picturing Mankind in Dude Love 1998 form. The speaker of 17 languages, etc. This is all before he has been thrown off a cell, but it is easy enough to get him lovable again. He always was pretty lovable during his career, even if I just got fed up with him at the end and I'm not particularly over the moon about him being Raw general manager. Anyway, it can easily be done because money is the root of all evil. Al Snow is just along for the ride. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Warrior is so popular that a win will really put over his opponent, but I'm just not sure who that opponent will be. Frank Castle could be an option. Shawn got his big win over Savage. Who gets the win over Warrior? Hunter? (or I might just squash him) I really have no idea at the minute.

Frank Castle is the most talked about man on this thing called the internet. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/confused.png.d4a8e6b6eab0c67698b911fb041c0ed1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> He left a good first impression vs Marc Mero. Knocking him out cold. Randy Savage and Frank Castle intense staredown on Raw that goes nowhere? Give me a hell yeah.

ken Shamrock is still 2 months from a return because he has a MMA fight. He won his last fight. Please win this one. Castle vs Shamrock is money. As you can see, I'm going into Frank Castle overdrive.

Here are the 8 that have qualified for the king of the ring. Chris Jericho is the bookies favorite. You can get Bagwell at 5000/1.

Razor Ramon

Owen Hart

White Meat Bagwell

Lance Storm

Shawn Michaels

Sugar Shane Helms

Hunter Warburg

Chris Jericho.

August 9, 2016

I've found the name for my Shawn, Hunter and Shane Douglas stable. It is all in the lyrics

''Cloud 9''

Might not last long due to Shane Douglas having simmering tension with a lot of the locker room (including Hunter). Work it out, damn it! The Warlord stock continues to rise, he has now got himself up to upper midcard just by being the bodyguard in segments. No plans for a Diesel type fall out here. Warlord is bodyguard for life, he has that gimmick at legendary.

Too soon for DX. Austin isn't even the Austin we know yet. Still growing up.

August 9, 2016

WWF April 1994

WWF: Stone Cold Steve Austin (98)

Tag team:Royal Flush (Jericho and Storm) (90)

IC: Shawn Michaels (75)

TV: Raven (68)

Jr heavyweight: Rey Mysterio Jr. (65)

August 9, 2016

Might be time to cut a few but most of the roster are getting used. Multi tag pre show matches ftw.

This is WWF in April 1994. Stared this game in January 1991 so it now feels like my WWF. Went down into the 50s for prestige because of the scandals of the time, but we have recovered. NJPW are rated number one in the world. We often switch places.

<img alt="image.png" data-src="https://s10.postimg.org/6pxcxytfd/image.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I couldn't believe how Wrestlemania 10 unfolded. Happy I held it at MSG, etc. SNME 18 is the next show I have booked. Raven retained his TV title in a 15 minute time limit draw vs Dean Malenko. Raven had been interfering in previous Malenko matches. He took great satisfaction in running the clock down here. Mr Perfect will always believe that rap is crap. He was teaming up with Helms in a random match on Raw. After they won, Perfect ended up beating up Helms. Helms response to this is to bring in Hardy Boyz. They both cost me a bit of love from Vince because he is against signing anybody from cult or above, but I took the hit and wasn't fired. Not yet. This leads to Perfect turning heel again and taking Bobby Heenan back as manager. Perfect gets the first shot at Austin at SNME. This should be ratings gold. The return of the poker game. It has been a while. Jericho will win, last eliminating Razor Ramon. Unlike the Ted Dibiase games, this went down without any trouble. ''You had the better hand, chico. Lucky you have house rules or I would have carved you up...'' Other players include The Gambler, Tito Santana, Gordon Gekko and Mike Tenay. Tenay is being the backstage interview guy. One of many. King of the ring winners I've done since the start have not been real life, but 1994 will. We are going to have the king of Harts. Qualifiers begin on Raw. Marc Mero talked himself into a match with Frank Castle. After the Castle attack on Bret, Mero asked Arnie for the match in a boxing rules type match to teach him some respect. Arnie could not license such a thing, but Mero said he will sign whatever has to be signed. His own death warrant!! Mero is midcard and we have no young lion system, folks. You're getting wrecked, Mero. Castle will visit his locker room later on and call him a brave man. Frank Castle is not your stereotypical villain. Shawn Michaels reward for beating Randy Savage at Wrestlemania was IC title shot against RVD. He will win and then go out to celebrate with Hunter and Douglas in a nightclub run by James St Patrick. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I was considering keeping Hunter and Douglas around to interfere in the poker game, but nah. 2 Dope are both on a bad run now. Can Warrior inspire them? I think he can. Yokozuna gave Savage 2 bonzai drops on Raw. Not satisfied with the level of competition he has faced since arriving 2 years ago. Bobby Heenan is doing the talking. Talking Yokozuna into a match with The Undertaker!!! Going to do a dq win for Taker and have Savage save him from a post match 2 on 1 attack from Yoko and Adams. King Brian Pillman has not be seen since Wrestlemania. He will show up at the end of Austin vs Perfect on the stage, on a HORSE!!!! Yes, he has really put his heart and soul into this King role and will come out on a horse, no sword, because I don't want to make it too cheesy. Eh, it is my world. I like it. Pillman is no2 on my franchise player list and the top heel. He needs to have that extra spark to keep him on the top of his game. Meltzer can put a positive spin on it and call it the most amazing thing he has ever seen. Yes, Dave works for me now. I own the observer. Kimberly Page is in because she is gorgeous. How sexist of me. Nah, I will put her with somebody. Shawn has been hitting on her. She is in to shoot t shirts. No wonder all Japan women refused my working agreement offer. Maybe one day we will get women. I think that is when we know I'm getting desperate, when I start booking a female division. A tag team tournament began. The Smoking Gunns scored upset vs the Headshrinkers and Bates Motel defeated Harlem Heat. The power of the dollar is already working wonders.. WCW continue to close the gap. They did sign Flair. They have Hogan, Flair, Piper. Savage remains with me and he is now number one on my franchise list. All others are 'young.' Sting is 100 all over USA. I'm going to finish runner up on a national battle soon. Not that my stars are lagging behind that much. Austin is up for the move to heavyweight, that will get his star power up a bit. He is thee guy. WWF-4186 ( Warrior 861 Jericho 842 Stone Cold 838 Savage 829 Undertaker 816 WCW-4161 (Hogan 982, Sting 902 Luger 775 Flair 758 Piper 744

Hi

I would like a name for a stable. To start off, it will include Shawn Michaels (picture him as he was in 94) Hunter Warburg (Triple H with a suave gimmick. He is an upper class alternative to Michael Wallstreet. ) and Shane Douglas being Shane Douglas.

I doubt there will be dx in my world. It is always possible if I'm still going that now.

Cheers.

What we learned at Wrestlemania 10. Sugar Shane Helms became a Rapper. I just love booking rappers and this time, Helms gets the gig. Suge Knight wants to sign him, apparently. I might have booked him as a rapper before in a previous life. Hard to remember every game. Hard to remember anything I'm not doing right now. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

The card is not in order here.

Dennis Knight won a pre show battle royal to earn shot at TV champion on Raw. Knight and Canterbury recently turned face.

Raven won the TV title in a four way with Hunter, Dean Malenko and Sugar Shane. This got 83. Raven has risen to upper midcard and Hunter will move into a tag team feud against Royal Flush. His partner will be Shane Douglas. I have not came up with a name yet.

Razor Ramon beat Kid Waltman. 80 I gave them 10 minutes and a win for Razor. Have to establish the main event scene and Razor will be part of it now. Kid will be a challenger in the Jr Heavyweight divsion.

WCW didn't actually go in for Flair when I let him go. They did, but then they pulled out. I dropped out of my negotiation with him, so now waiting the six months. Love to do him vs Shawn earlier on.

Undertaker and Darkside had a lame 78 in their casket match rematch. Early Undertaker matches at Wrestlemania not getting the job done. I will make sure to give him better opposition next year.

Warrior and RVD have great chemistry. I'm happy about this, they have been in many segments together and their face vs face got 80. 10 minute intentional count out loss for RVD. You have to watch Raw to find out why RVD would use such a shady tactic.

Bret vs Owen did have the ultimate opener. 97 lol yes, follow that. What a way to end their story. Owen will now move on to title contention and Bret will leave for a few months. Going to do that Frank Castle angle I posted about earlier. Vince took Bubba under his wing, so now has Bubba/Castle Dennis Knight and Bagwell as protege's.

Perfect and The Gambler had the task of following it. They had a 'decent' 75. Throwaway match that Perfect won.

The three way ladder match with Mysterio, Juventud and 2 Cold Scorpio has been rated as a dud. Meltzer is so disappointed. He was hyping it up big and it got a lame 67. Was expecting better. Maybe the world is not ready for it. Sad way for Mysterio to win Jr Heavyweight title. Lowering the title prestige. It will be cool, he will rebound.

Shawn and Savage turned it on. This was the match before the semi main. Savage on the decline, but putting on a peak performance against Shawn. Savage was complaining about losing and they still gave me 96. Shawn finally beats Savage. ''Out with the old and in with the new.''This now concludes their story. Brian Adams got involved after Warlord (Shawn's bodyguard) was sent from the ring. He will explain why he did this tomorrow.

Wrestlemania 10 going to rival Wrestlemania 8 as the greatest show of all time?

Royal Flush beat Bates Motel to get a 86. I'm happy with this rating. For the second year in a row, Royal Flush get the win. Following the match, Dibiase says Bates Motel could be special if they knew the power of the dollar. hahahahah. Dibiase will take over management duties. I hope they have chemistry.

and wow. It finally happened, folks. The moment I have been waiting on forever. Wrestlemania 10 has now surpassed Wrestlemania 8. Austin and Pillman got 100. woohoo.. I will now actually have a contender for a match of the year.

Looks like I have now hit my peak with this save, the good thing is I have a lot of post mania stuff planned now. Pillman and Austin will certainly meet again. WWF fans know they get their money worth from me. So happy with how this ended up, considering Austin vs Pillman was not the original plan. Hogan was probably wrestling Jack Victory on WCW Saturday Night, Dude.

To end this. Wrestlemania 10 did score 100 and overall, I'd have this at the top because of the main event and opener. I don't see how I can now beat this. You're not going to be able to have Owen and Bret opening the show every year. It was a dream scenario. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Now on to Raw.

August 7, 2016

Bagwell has passed the ''if you can't have a decent match with Shawn Michaels'' challenge. The task in my mind was beating 75. Shawn is motivated again and his morale is currently at pleased. Be smart, Shawn, don't mess things up.

WCW offering over 100k a week for Roddy Piper. See you later, Roddy. Enjoy the money. I recently got an email saying he had become flabby, losing a lot of star quality, obviously he still has the other entertainment skills, but no great loss.

Power is definitely at an end now. Hogan gone, Austin turned face, Razor turned face and Piper soon to leave. He hasn't accepted the offer yet, but I know he will. He can now lose to Razor Ramon on Raw.

Shane Douglas is back in. I remember at the start of this game and the dreams for a lifeguard gimmick. I was even thinking of a stable called Baywatch. His heel/face stats made it hard to do. Shane did not last long during his first run, but this is his second chance, 2 years later.

He will come in with a high society (cocky) gimmick and team with....... Hunter Warburg. Wow.

Bully Ray is also coming in. There will be no Dudleyz in my world. Going a bit outside the box here, Marvel is coming to WWF! Well, not really. What I'm doing here is bringing Bubba in as ''Frank Castle/the Punisher'' no anti hero status, just a heel version. I was really impressed with the Frank Castle on season 2 of Daredevil, so here we are. His first act will be a brutal attack on Bret Hart on the Raw following Wrestlemania. This will write Bret out for a while like I always planned to do. Instant cred for The Punisher. I see good things here.

The second coming of Royal Rumble 1994 ended up being pretty good.

Ever get that feeling that the idea you were forced to use is even better than what you had planned? I'm starting to dig the Hollywood Blonds as the Wrestlemania main event.

Bret has his not so subtle excuses ready after the defeat to Pillman. ''I trained for Hulk Hogan, not for a guy that could actually move.'' Oh, shots fired!

Now we have to write Hogan out of WWF. I usually do Raw every 2 weeks ( if you read my posts, you know this. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ) but I'm going to do 2 in a row so I can get 2 weeks out of Hogan leaving the company. Just putting Hogan and Austin out of my mind. Undertaker pop has fallen to upper mid, no idea how I let that happen.He has been gone for 5 months. Undertaker beats Hogan, puts him in a bodybag and then drives him off. Sounds good to me.

Wresrtlemania 10 will look like this.

WWF title: Pillman vs Austin

The Hollywood Blonds headlining. I might just put Wrestlemania 10 in Hollywood instead of MSG.

Savage vs Michaels. Michaels to get the biggest win of his career so far. As long as he keeps his nose clean and doesn't leave me before that, etc. Savage is finally on the decline list.

Bret Hart vs Owen Hart

This will open the show and Owen will win. Bret to take a three month vacation afterwards.

Mr Perfect vs The Gambler

(Gambler has been losing money on Perfect and he recently got involved in one of his matches)

Rob Van Dam vs The Ultimate Warrior (RVD challenged Warrior and Warrior was happy to accept. RVD IC title will be on the line. Face vs face.

Razor Ramon&Marty Jannetty vs Roddy Piper&Kid Waltman

Ramon recently turned face. In Hogan's last act as boss of power, he said Razor was weak and had him take a beating. This happened after 2 losses in a row to RVD and Bret Hart.

Tag titles: Royal Flush vs Bates Motel

Bates Motel have now transformed. Al Snow has head and Cactus is now the deranged Mankind. I smell a title change here. Have a nice day. Royal Flush still have another year left in them, but I think the time is right to give Bates Motel a chance.

Jr heavyweight title: 2 Cold Scorpio vs Juventud Guerrera vs Rey Mysterio Jr.

Ladder match is coming to Wrestlemania 10

The Undertaker vs Darkside (Brian Lee) in a casket match.

Darkside won their previous encounter at Summerslam. I wouldn't bet against the Deadman, but hard to bet against Darkside either. He is unbeaten. So many locals fed lol.

TV title: Hunter Warburg vs Raven vs White Meat Bagwell vs Dean Malenko

White Meat Bagwell is Vince protege, so I imagine brownie points for putting him on the card. Dean Malenko has left the Jr heavyweight division. Thinking I will go with Raven

Pre show: Harlem Heat vs Slop Drop

Hogan has joined WCW in 1994. Some things are just meant to be, I guess. In this world, WWF are better prepared to deal with post Hogan. WCW will now be competing with WWF and CMLL for USA dominance. As long as WWF are around, CMLL and WCW will always be fighting for second best...

August 6, 2016

Hogan has screwed up everything! I ran the royal rumble and had him win the WWF title. Next day he hands in his notice. Even after I kissed his ass after the show.

So what now? Have him lose the title on Raw? Have my biggest Wrestlemania main event yet be on Raw? Nooooooo. And that doesn't really work since the Rumble winner gets the Wrestlemania title shot.

Can't explain how upset I am at what has happened here. Austin vs Hogan was going to be special. Austin taking over the industry in 1994. Now we have no Hogan to put him over. Mr 100* pop everywhere, well, most places.

I am tempted to cheat, I can't lie. Game recovery could solve things. Have Bret retain and turn heel? Can we say let's bring Bobby Ewing back from the dead. That is just not going to work. Bret is no heel at this stage of the game. He was all set to lose to Owen in the Wrestlemania opener. Follow that!

To conclude this rambling mess. I did game recovery and have to book the Rumble over again. Here is what I am going to do. Hogan is not even appearing, so Piper steps in to challenge Bret Hart. We never did get the Bret vs Piper match in my world. It kind of makes sense. Can say Hogan is lost in Cleveland.

One last thought. King Brian Pillman never got the WWF title shot he was promised after he won the king of the ring. I've got it. The Wrestlemania 10 main event will be the Hollywood Blonds against each other. Yes, King Brian wins the WWF title at Royal Rumble.

Not Hogan vs Austin, but not too bad. Their previous 1v1 draw got me in the 90s rating.

Pillman is no bum.

Those are some pretty weird and varied goals. Vince really wants a Carl Ouellet lower midcard push it seems.

Warlord and Carl don't bother me. I can always find something for them to do. It is the psychology and selling ratings that give me some trouble. Obviously, I want my guys to know what they are doing, but not being able to bring in a certain novice on a one night deal can hurt things.

I want to wind Vince up and sign 10 Luchadors. I'll put them in segments with him. Since his previous goals included signing no lucha!
