Getting caught up here Beej and I'm intrigued to what the next phase of WCW looks like. I, for one, want to see the return of a Saturday Night flagship or a brand new program leading the way. Nitro is a dead brand and redressing it might come off as putting lipstick on a pig at this point....just my 2 cents.

<p>Been MIA for a bit and my time on the boards has become sporadic at best...but so happy to see you still working on this. I'm going to throw some predictions out there...but they excuse any shortcomings as I haven't been as caught up as I once was...</p><p> </p><p> That said, this might be my favorite diary in TEW'16 era. It's not a stretch for me to put it in the same echelon with TFC's TGA diary or Beejus's War of Thrones from the TEW '13 forums. </p><p> </p><p> Preview for Monday Night Raw, Week 4, December 1996</p><p> Special Holiday Edition </p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Championship: Christmas Cage Match</p><p> <strong>Rich Steiner ©</strong> vs. Scott Steiner</p><p> Comments: I see Scotty winning the Rumble and getting crowned at Wrestlemania... so the IC strap doesn't make sense at the moment.

I could easily chuck my most over guys in a random video segment, but I don't know......does a promo package start a show off strong? Because personally I don't think it does......an angle/in ring promo (which is how I generally start my TV shows lol) then yeah, I can see that......or am I just overthinking things?

As many different threads across this board have discussed, the game is a sandbox and putting together angles with video packages that "spam" for ratings is only cheating if you think it is. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> In my own personal games I tend to do the announce/video segments on PPVs only and try to start to the TV's with either a hot angle or "work the crowd" match. </p><p> </p><p> Long story even longer, play the way that you like to. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> PS: Haven't predicted lately as I've fallen behind.

<p>Nice to see you back BigBad! Always been a big fan of your work!

Mike Awesome</p><p> </p><p> And finally...who walks out of The Big Bang as the NEW WCW World Heavyweight Champion? Feels like this question is setting up a swerve, but I'll stick with my original choice of Scott Steiner</p>

<p>Been playing the Art of War '98 mod recently as the WWF and have been having loads of fun! </p><p> </p><p> That said, Triple H has been giving me fits. First, he picks a fight with Blackjack Lanza. No way he do this in real life because a) everyone loves/respects Lanza (especially him) and b) Lanza would kill him.</p><p> </p><p> Next, HBK returns and is sent to rehab on exactly the same day. That apparently went up Hunter's keister sideways for some reason...sorry I helped your friend, dude. </p><p> </p><p> Then he was complaining about carrying the European strap, which he felt he was above. Fine--no problem. Have him drop it to D'Lo (keep strong, Rock interference, etc) and even give him 10 g's to boot! </p><p> </p><p> What does he do? He hands in his 2 week notice right before Fully Loaded. </p><p> </p><p> In complete contrast, the Rock has been a true ace! Happily jobbed the IC title to X-Pac without even needed the Keep Strong note! Cheering up the locker room on a daily basis and simply being an all around great dude. </p><p> </p><p> I am thinking that HHH's contribution to my National Battles will need to be replaced however...I'm eyeing Sid for a return. I don't really want him, but I recognize I need to keep up with Easy E...</p><p> </p><p> Everything else has been going swimmingly. I'm about to run Fully Loaded and am pumped about Summerslam and the Highway to Hell. I've thought about going full on diary with this game, but I don't want to keep clogging the diary forums with a lot of starts and stops. I initially started this game as a background game for my WCW 97 game...but it's quickly become a significantly more fun ride.</p>

<p><span>http://i.imgur.com/5nznIjh.png</span></p><p> </p><p> Good to see you writing again Beej!</p>

<p>Sorry for being MIA for the last couple of weeks, but trying to get reacquainted with GDS scene and this is my first stop. Fantastic Summerslam to4sty! Loved the show from bell to bell (and will second Beejus that I immediately checked the date for a DOTM nomination). I like that the KliQ took it on the chin here...but I was hoping for a clean sweep of them...</p><p> </p><p> Poor Bret...I really want to see him have a breakout at some point. I worry that he will get forced down the card with the increasingly crowded main event scene. With Steiner, Pillman, Austin all trending up, and guys like HBK and Taker firmly entrenched, (plus now Sid), I want to see how Bret rebounds from this loss. </p><p> </p><p> Some other guys that have me interested is Faarooq and Mankind. I was shocked that Faarooq got the W and even more surprised by the grade (although I assume that was more a function of Owen than Simmons). As for Mankind, now that's totally buried by Taker, I hope he spins off into a Dude Love/Cactus Jack lovable babyface.</p>

<p>Just getting caught up after being away for a week, and I agreed very much with Beejus' comments a bit back about the KLiQ needing to step up and deliver...and they did in a big way at IYH. </p><p> </p><p> Unfortunately that happened at the expense of my man Scott Steiner however. I love how he unintentionally got over and I love the bad ass straight man he's playing in the middle of the more outlandish/vulgar/stereo-typical WWF attitude era guys.

Totally hear this sentiment dudes...and I feel much the same way. I keep hoping that Photobucket is getting enough negative attention that they will repeal the 3rd Party hosting blocking...but either way it's probably about time to cut bait with them. The ad situation was way out of hand. It'll be interesting to see what happens on these boards going forward...maybe we'll see a giant diary revitalization as many of the great writers (like yourselves) decide to all launch new projects simultaneously with a new picture hosting site? I'm finding it very difficult to want to come back to my current diary because of it.

<p>Out of curiosity, would you be open to sharing up how mechanically you booked the match/angle with Steiner winning/not winning the title? </p><p> </p><p> From a game standpoint, is Steiner listed as a champion with you using the angle to strip him? That's how I did my Dusty Finish with the RnR Express...but in a subsequent thread I made on the Suggestions Forum, Adam Ryland mentioned that I should have had the Awesome Twosome win the match with RnR booked with "keep strong." That would have avoided the erroneous listing of the Express as champions in my game.</p><p> </p><p> That said, in your game, Steiner did win the bout. This was not a referee's decision rather a technicality. So, did you not set the title on the line in the first place?</p>

<p>I'm doing by best to take a deep breath and not let the stripping of Scott Steiner raise my blood pressure too much... I mean, you'll have to crown him at SummerSlam? Right?

No problem. I just downloaded them now and can't wait to go through them! Would you mind if I ended up incorporating any in my diary?
