The most obvious differences from October are the title changes with the Intercontinental, United States Tag Team & World Television championships, but the biggest by far is the addition of a Women's title under a different organization name. I realized towards the start of 2002 that I had to change my overall presentation of the women's division and decided to use Impact Wrestling's beginnings as some inspiration to create the FEMME brand with their own women-exclusive weekly PPV shows. This experiment is still pretty early days, but the first show gave me a lot of confidence in just how well it could work at elevating the brand into being just as successful as the men's someday, including a future expansion of gold for the division should things progress well enough.

I'm with KyTeran on Whiskey Black, Annie Bolton, Lottie Deville & Kelly Kanzaki for all the same reasons. You made their stories feel so personal and fun to follow along for the endings, as well as keeping me going, "Well what happens next with them??" Malice is a favorite because most mods don't have a mauler like her around, and even if they do they tend to be more bulky than muscular, so she's just a fun standout to me. Mahuika isn't necessarily a favorite, but I like seeing what you do with her because I've used her render in my personal games to bulk up the women's wrestling scene in C-Verse 97 as a completely different identity. There's some fun compare and contrast going on for me whenever she's on the card. I wouldn't say I dislike any characters really, but Project SMILE just doesn't hook me in despite how different they are compared to the rest of the roster. The renders are fantastic however, and I loved Homicide's stalking of Charlize at the start of the game. Also! I appreciate your self-awareness on the potential limits being out of RW or CV universes can bring, but I don't think you have to worry about it alienating anyone from the diary with how well you've done with introducing the world through Starlet. Hell, Liberty Austin feels like such a big deal despite not even knowing where she came from exactly, and Akikio's return gave me such a big smile during the Battle Bowl because of the way you built her and the other Joshi crew up over the first few months in-game.

World Class Championship Wrestling - January 1997 to December 2001 Throughout my time in this save, I noticed a bit of a bad habit in my booking whenever it came to December. Maybe it's because I'm so close to my season finale that I want to already be there, but I always seem to close out the year with the most basic of stories and actions. They're never really bad or good, just there to give my guys something to do before the big show. This time around however, I wanted to try and keep that habit in check by being a lot more proactive in giving everyone something to do. Unfortunately, this made me realize that my women's division, while fun to book & experiment with, is actually limiting what I can do with my main roster and honestly not helping the division itself either. I'm not wanting to just scrap the whole division just yet, but clearly I need to figure out what to do with them after the Parade & their main storylines end. A lot of my creative focus throughout the month was on the Shockwave brand leading up to the final PPV of the year, SuperFight. The main event was set to be a big six-man free-for-all over the World title, so I had to make sure that my lowercard was up to carrying their own weight in their respective bouts since some of the brand's best would be preoccupied. Thankfully I've got some pretty solid talents throughout the roster that did their part, as well as a hot storyline over the Intercontinental title that I had a lot of fun playing out. Over on the Ignition brand, I kept myself grounded by booking the WK 3 edition of the show as a Night of Champions special. The set date helped a lot in providing some further structure in my storylines, resulting in some positive changes to my plans for the Parade as I was able to notice some interesting grades being put out between competitors throughout my midcard. The SuperFight Challenge Despite the differences in start times & causes amongst the intersecting feuds of the SuperFight Challenge, the road to the show itself began on the last Shockwave of October, where Damian "The Natural" Carvill decided to stake a claim as the next challenger to Freddie Datsun's World title by disrupting the main event tag team bout featuring Edgar Frey & Mordekaiser vs Jack Griffith & Shawn Gonzalez with a steel chair shot to the skulls of all four men. Amused by the audacity & pleased with the attention his actions brought, Shockwave GM Carl Batch decided to grant Damian his title shot the following week. Unfortunately for Damian, payback was delivered in the form of all four men storming to the ring during the bout, leading to a schmozz finish when Gonzalez refused to wait any longer & charged into the ring. With the other three wanting their own piece of Carvill for his assault, they followed Shawn into the ring & proceeded to get in each other's way of revenge, causing the episode to end with a chaotic brawl between the four revenge seekers. Batch responded to the chaos by pitting all six men against each other in various combinations of singles, tag teams & six-man bouts, keeping things somewhat stable by promising considerations for the next World title challenger based on performance. It wasn't until two more weeks of fighting in & out of the ring that Batch made his decision to close out the year of 2001 with something big...something he called, the SuperFight Challenge! Six men in the ring at the same time all competing under sudden death rules, meaning that whoever got the first pinfall was closing the year as the World Heavyweight Champion! Despite having the odds against him in a match with no allies, Datsun persevered once more in a display of hard-fought survival that's become a trademark of his title reign. End of the Line After reaching a draw in a match that was supposed to determine Datsun's challenger for the Parade of Champions, Louis Figo Manico & Eric Tyler found themselves at the mercy of Ignition GM Ryan Aitchson. Not wanting to risk the chance of further controversy just before the biggest show in World Class history, Aitchson decided that both Tyler & Manico would take on Datsun for the World title at the Night of Champions special in a Triple Threat match! In addition, whoever is the man pinned or submitted will be barred from challenging for any titles at the Parade as penalty! The next few weeks leading up to the NoC would see both Louis & Freddie comment on the match ahead, but Tyler did what he does best and poked at insecurities actively plaguing both men in regards to Datsun's health & Manico's killer instinct respectively. When the time for talking was up however, the dust settled to revealed Datsun having survived yet another fantastic fight...and Eric Tyler out of the running for any sort of gold at the biggest show of the year. With his path now clear, Datsun goes into 2002 facing his biggest challenge yet in a man who is just as much a hero to World Class as he is and has achieved just as much in accolades, "El Magnifico" Louis Figo Manico.

Thank you for the welcome friend, I'm glad to have finally gotten myself here on time to make a prediction for such an awesome piece of work. I love how much character everyone has throughout the roster, and of course I'm a big fan of your render work with how much of it is currently populating my game saves. Keep up the good work!

World Class Championship Wrestling - January 1997 to November 2001 With October having come and gone, World Class is officially on the Road to the Parade of Champions VI, though you wouldn't totally know it with how relatively quiet the month of November's been for the company. Sure I've set some seeds for my season finale supercard, but they're all just starting to grow amongst already developed and finishing stories that I've still got going on. In order to keep my interest going however, I decided to make my own version of Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday with Power to the People, an Ignition brand exclusive event that sees the fans hold the fate of their favorite stars in their hands....in-game anyways. In reality, I decided to set up a variety of choices for all matches on the card, ranging from opponents to match types, enforcers and even rewards for the victors and punishments for losers while relying on a random number generator to simulate the "fan interaction" as best as I could. Despite the RNG not giving me some of the outcomes I hoped for (Heel vs Heel/Face vs Face matches, match stips that didn't feel totally satisfying enough, etc), the event was a success and creatively flowed pretty easily without anything feeling too forced or rushed. I was also able to keep enough focus on the Shockwave brand too during all this, taking a slower approach to the brand's builds as their next PPV wouldn't take place until December. I'm still debating on what big thing to give that show however, as I want to make it unique like Power to the People has been this month. The name of the event is SuperFight, and so far I've been mixing together a few storylines with my top guys to build tension, maybe a big multi-man match? American Outlaws After surviving the Lone Wolf's hunt, Freddie Datsun switched his focus on a showdown with a man who is quickly becoming one of his most dangerous opponents in "Big Tex" Jeff Walker. Having already clashed once for the World title before in October, Walker made his case for a rematch in the simplest way possible by laying out the World champ week after week on national television. At first it was due to surprise, but the constant wear down of both Walker & Gonzalez the month previously began to give the cowboy an advantage over the everyman, even when Freddie was the one calling him out. Eventually, Ignition GM Ryan Aitchson had to put a stop to things & make both men sign an agreement to cut all physical contact in exchange for a title match where the fans would decide just what kind of war these two would settle the score in. The trio of choices were as follows: a Texas Deathmatch, a Texas Bullrope Match, and in a World Class first, a Stretcher match. Throughout the month the choices were hyped through video packages & the announce team, as Datsun & Walker were clearly just concerned about getting their hands on each other no matter how it happened. In the end, the fans chose the Texas Bullrope stipulation, leading to a vicious bout that saw Datsun persevere and overcome Big Tex in a very solid showing. High Noon The Ignition after the World Class Grand Prix saw Dusty Streets & Louis Figo Manico face off in a match to settle their score of 1-1 in a friendly exhibition match, a fantastic bout that saw Louis victorious but still gracious about it as he left the ring to let Dusty bask in the audience's adulation. Unfortunately for them, Eric Tyler ruined the moment with an ambush on the veteran, laying Dusty out and standing over him with a disdainful look on his face. In a promo the week after, Eric explained that he attacked Streets because of his status as a Texas legend, an icon of a tradition that glorifies gratuitous violence, hedonistic indulgence and abhorrent behavior from the worst bunch of trash. At first Eric was fine to let things go & let Dusty limp his way to irrelevancy, especially after crushing his dream run in the main event of the Parade of Champions V, but to see him still get cheered despite that has made his options clear. If he wanted to truly make World Class accept his visions of proper tradition, he had to get rid of Texas tradition. He had to take more than Dusty's dreams, he had to take his career too. In true Texas fashion, Dusty didn't waste time confronting Eric & accepting his challenge...but only if he was willing to put his own career on the line as well! It was on the November 2001, WK 2 edition of Ignition that Eric Tyler & Dusty Streets agreed to put their respective careers & beliefs on the line, and it was on the same episode that Dusty Streets, despite using everything he had left, had his career come to an end at the hands of a man who spit on everything he valued and fought for. The following week saw Dusty get a lot of love throughout the episode with video packages & a retirement ceremony to celebrate his career, but Tyler wasn't satisfied. He made an appearance towards the end of the ceremony to give his own insulting goodbyes, causing Louis to stand up for his friend & challenge Tyler to a match on behalf of his newly retired ally where the fans would decide just how he'd punish Eric! Not long after, it was announced on WCCW.com that the fans had the choices of a 30 Minute Ironman match, an I Quit match, and the eventual winner, a 2/3 Falls Match! Like most matches between these two, it was a fantastic bout, but despite Louis' efforts, his desire for payback saw Eric take advantage of his temper & come out victorious after two shots with a pair of brass knuckles to the skull for the 3rd fall. Seeing the writing on the wall, Freddie Datsun took initiative on the last Ignition of November & requested GM Aitchson to book a rematch for that night to decide which man would challenge him once & for all. Only...that match ended in a time-limit draw, meaning that both men head into December with uncertain futures...

AWF New Year, No Limits 2021 AWF World Title – 3rd Defence: Daryl Lance w/Cheerleader Brittany vs Core (c) -Daryl is one of those guys who could be a great World Champion for you, but definitely not at this point in the game and especially not when compared to Core. United States Title match – 2nd Defence: N8 Omega vs Wilson Hancock vs Aaron Price (c) -Personally I think Wilson could be a fantastic main eventer for you if you're willing to build him up to that level, even at his age. That being said, he's also a great pick to help build Aaron Price up for bigger and better things in the future. Starlight's Title – 7th Defence: Alexis James vs Amy Ladner (c) -It's nice to see the effort you've put into this feud, I feel like Alexis could pull off the win here, but I'm honestly expecting shenanigans to cost her the belt by a DQ. Derrick Romeo & Sharif Awar vs Jonah Huntley & Ebi Kadivar -Ebi needs a popularity boost and Jonah is still establishing himself as a major player, a victory here would make sense despite their problems with each other. Jesse Mills vs Riley Johansen -Riley's got the tools to be a star, but he needs the skills in the ring first. Making this the start of a longer feud could definitely help out with that.

World Class Championship Wrestling - January 1997 to October 2001 Like most folks, whenever I play a game I always setup my own personal Big Four of events where stakes are higher and usually there's an annual competition to fight over. World Class in October features one such event with the fifth annual World Class Grand Prix, a big single elimination tournament with the winner getting themselves a guaranteed title shot against the World Champion. In previous years I've usually stuck to a 16-man format, but with the brand split in play this year I decided to go big and try out a 32-man field for the first time in game since there were plenty of bodies to go around. At first, it was pretty nice to give some guys a chance to stand out & qualify with a victory instead of them being instant JTTS in a smaller field, but I quickly realized how much TV time it took to put everything together on both shows. It didn't help either that I was also in the process of establishing my new women's division, trying to give them at least one if not two matches every show to build up popularity & storylines and needing some time for them too. Overall, some storylines definitely suffered, but the ones that were featured are building up to be some of my all-time favorites: Everyman vs Everyone Freddie Datsun's run as World Heavyweight Champion is best described as two words, true grit. Despite previously holding the World title (then American Heavyweight) in 1998, it's this run that sees Freddie really bleed for World Class as he goes back and forth between both brands and fighting everyone who wants a piece of him. He's suffered through bloods feuds, survived multiple challengers at once and even stood strong despite vicious assaults, sometimes even on both shows in the same week! October has seen him take on two of his most brutal opponents yet in Ignition's Jeff Walker and Shockwave's Shawn Gonzalez. Walker is the Big Tex Avatar, who was a very obvious Day 1 signing for me back when I opened World Class in 1997. Back then the big man was a silent sheriff of justice, backed up by the loud-mouth Jakki Trailer Trash & always ready to fight the good fight for Texas, but these days he's little more than a silent & violent outlaw who cares only about cashing checks & cracking skulls...and there's no bigger check to gain than from cracking the skull of the World Champion. Gonzalez meanwhile is on a much more personal path, with most of 2001 seeing him engage in a blood feud with former friend Louis Figo Manico that he would win at EpiCenter 2001 in July. The feud began because of Shawn's feelings of insecurity towards coming in second place to then good friend LFM, and even after beating him they've come into play with a violent obsession on becoming World Champion to match Louis' resume. Said obsession led to Shawn putting Freddie on the shelf for most of October, delaying Walker's title shot to the go-home episode of Ignition, wearing down an already battered Datsun before his Last Man Standing match with Shawn on Night 1 of the WCGP Finals. Despite this, Datsun puts the Lone Wolf down on Night 1 and is now looking to a fight on the horizon with an angry cowboy after being assault during an interview on Night 2 of the WCGP Finals. A Magnificent Return Following his heartbreaking loss to friend-turned-enemy Shawn Gonzalez at EpiCenter 2001, Louis Figo Manico faced further disappointment when it was revealed that the brand split prevented him from simply requesting a rematch to redeem himself. Instead, he had to earn another fight with Shawn by competing against another man on a mission in Eric Tyler in a great match that ultimately saw Tyler defeat Manico. Weary in heart, body and soul after facing two emotionally devastating losses, Louis decided that he needed to take a sabbatical to get himself together. Fast forward to a few weeks later, Louis makes a surprising return in the World title main event of the Fall Brawl PPV as the Special Enforcer to counter Special Referee Eric Tyler's plans of screwing over Freddie Datsun in his match. This kicks off a heated rivalry between Tyler & Manico that only ramps up over the next few weeks as the World Class Grand Prix begins, and both men make their intentions of victory clear to the other. Things come to a head during Night 2 of the WCGP Finals, with Louis redeeming himself twice in one night by first beating fellow finalist/winner of the WCGP 2000 Dusty Streets in the Semifinals and then Tyler himself to claim his first ever World Class Grand Prix victory...and a guarenteed title shot against a man he's been constantly compared to in fellow WCCW original, Freddie Datsun. There's a few other fun notes of things happening throughout World Class, but none are as developed as these two storylines just yet due to the Grand Prix taking up so much time. For now, we head into November with the next PPV being Ignition's Power To The People, an "interactive fan's choice" show similar to WWE's Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday shows during the 2000's. To simulate the fan experience, I'm going to do a random number generator to do all the choosing for me and see what surprises can come out of it.

World Class Championship Wrestling January 1997 - October 2001 World Titles WCCW World Heavyweight Championship (formerly American Heavyweight Championship) Freddie Datsun (x2) - Defeated Eric Tyler at WCCW EpiCenter 2001 in July to retire the American Heavyweight title/win the World Heavyweight title WCCW World Television Championship WORLD Koiso - Defeated Sean "Squeeky" McClean on the Monday, WK 4 2001 edition of Ignition in September Ignition Titles WCCW United States Championship Colossus - Defeated Danny Rushmore on the Monday, WK 3 2001 edition of Ignition in August to become inaugural champion WCCW United States CANADIAN Tag Team Championship (formerly Texas Tag Team Championship) Team Toronto (x2) - Defeated Wiley Coyote & Power Team USA at WCCW EpiCenter 2001 in July to retire the Texas Tag Team titles/win the United States Tag Team titles Shockwave titles WCCW Intercontinental Championship (formerly Texas Heavyweight Championship) Franki Garcia - Defeated Colossus at WCCW EpiCenter 2001 in July to retire the Texas Heavyweight title/win the Intercontinental title WCCW Intercontinental Tag Team Championship The Rebellion - Defeated The Hooligans at WCCW Red Sky Calling in August 2001 to become the inaugural champions I posted about this game save in the What's Going On In Your Game? Thread, but I wanted to share what things look like with my titles after my recent company brand split. We're currently in October of 2001, and recently I've realized a challenge in using my World Heavyweight Championship as a traveling title that can be defended on either brand's shows. It's similar to the way the WWE Undisputed Championship functioned during the start of the first brand split in 2002, and like real life, it's keeping storylines in a good flow that's difficult. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun level of difficult to make both brand's title stories intertwine and effect each other from week to week, but it's the kind of difficult that makes me worry about hitting an eventual creative wall if I don't plan things out carefully enough. The World Television title has similar functions and challenges as a traveling title, but since it's designed to be for good match ratings and resume building amongst the midcard I'm not really as worried about screwing up there. I think eventually I'll follow in the WWE's footsteps and do what they did in establishing a World title for each brand, but I want to save for it for the right heel and hopefully with another top level title that's got some history to it.

MAIN EVENT: Unity of Blood Contendership Determination Match: El Segador & Yokai Dragon vs Fujimaro Tansho & SOSEKI Arnoud Vox & Sumiteru Hatakeda vs Magobei Morita & Masa Kahaya Butcher Hachirobei, Sheikh Abdul-Wahid and Shi Yuuto vs Kyushichi Mizumaki, Nobusuke Takabe and Soh Terajima Hiro Date vs Tsutomu Honda Chojiro Ono vs Sugita Kamoto

Currently playing a C-Verse 97 game as World Class Championship Wrestling and I am having the most fun creatively in both this save and probably my TEW playtime altogether after finally reaching medium for the first time in a long-term game. When World Class hit medium in January of 2001, the week of Parade of Champions V (our season finale), I felt like it was a good sign financially and creatively to finally start doing a weekly television show and debut it the night after the Parade. As a result, my booking had to start changing to fit the new format and during that process I began to realize several issues with my roster: -Bloat was starting to happen at the top of my card, with new guys reaching the main event scene after the Parade. I usually keep control of my roster to prevent this sort of thing before I'm ready, but these guys were just scoring too well and rising so fast in popularity regardless of what I tried, with signs of even more guys on similar trajectories. -The bloat was making me focus a lot of my TV time to the new top guys, but at the cost of reduced time for the rest of my roster. I signed on for a B-Show to try and mitigate this, but it still wasn't enough and led to a lot of guys staying aimless for a while until I was able to rotate them into someone else's story or match for a week or two just for an appearance. -I have always been the conservative type when it came to title reigns, but after five years I felt like my title pictures were starting to become pretty restrictive and would only get worse with the beginning bloat. Also, I know it isn't unrealistic to have guys spend years in a company without winning a title, but I wanted to see some decorated resumes, especially amongst some of the WCCW originals who have been around since day one and were developing into great talents. At first I thought the solution to this was to do a spring cleaning throughout my roster, shaking things up from jobbers to main event stars, lightening up the overall load as well as allowing some new blood in from both the indies and my own developmental company. But it was in the middle of watching some mid 2000s WWE that I realized an even better idea, something I had always wanted to try in TEW but never having been at a place where it was possible. A brand split. Fast forward to September of 2001, where Ignition & Shockwave are now broadcasting live every week around the world trying to outdo the other with the best World Class has to offer on each brand. Stars new & old have more time to shine with new brand exclusive & traveling titles allowing for more opportunities at gold for all. And as if that wasn't enough, rumors of an incoming women's division are getting louder each week...

The first guy who came to mind is the future Rogue, Jack Giedroyc, though he's definitely pretty raw as a talent at the start of the game. If you're willing to stick with him for development however, you could always give him some development in a cult run as simple acolyte fodder until he's ready to properly evolve and take up the character.

My favorite random team has to be from my current C-Verse 97 game with The Classic Connection, a masked duo with the always overeager to fight Captain Classic (Masked Avatar) & his chosen but reluctant successor/lackey Kid Classic (Braden Streets under a mask). This one started because the Captain Classic character is always one I put in my C-Verse games, and it just made sense for him to look for the second generation once he hit time decline a few years in. For a while I had him paired up with random rookies during dark matches to see what worked, but even after finding some pairs with good chemistry I kept going back to the idea of him & Streets paired together. Sure, it'd be fun for any rookie to be forced into the legacy of a weird grumpy veteran & be his unwilling backup in fights he started, but what if that rookie already had a legacy of their own to look up to? Especially a rookie with plenty of potential, but god awful starting stats that needed the tutelage of a workhorse like the Captain...and thus, Kid Classic the stolen successor was born and thrown into a matching blue mask to begin his journey of learning and training while being the best fall guy a battle junkie could ask for.

Hey ReapeR! I hope you've been doing well, I'm back again with another trio of requests for my World Class CVerse-97 game. Like last time I'd like these to be related to the real-world titles, and have included a photo for the World Heavyweight and World Tag Team designs. However, I couldn't find an accurate one of the original Television championship, so I threw in an image of a later version from another promotion. Feel free to use that as inspiration instead of a guideline. However, the only thing I ask if you use it, is to keep the WCCW letters uniform in size. Thank you very much in advance! -WCCW World Heavyweight Championship -WCCW World Tag Team Championship -WCCW Television Championship http://fwrestling.com/host/WCCWfeds/beltPics/wccwNEWTVhistory.png

Just finished plugging them into my game files, they look fantastic ReapeR! Thank you so much for making these. They really make this save come to life more, and I appreciate the work behind it.

Yes my company is WCCW, and I'd prefer the belts to be based off of the real world belts, but feel free to be creative if anything hits for you in the process. Sorry for any confusion!

That's exactly them, thank you!

Hey ReapeR, it's good to see you back in business. I've gotten pretty invested in a C-Verse 97 game and am looking for designs based on the irl World Class Championship Wrestling belts. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/prowrestling/images/2/26/WCWA_Texas_Tag_Team_Championship.png/revision/latest?cb=20190623053717 - This is a picture of the Texas Tag Team Championships, it's only letting me save as a webpage however so I don't have any other way to post it. I've got a few requests to make, but my starting three are going to be: -WCCW American Heavyweight -WCCW Texas Tag Team -WCCW Texas Heavyweight Thanks a ton in advance!

The Parade of Champions III has come and gone in my C-Verse 97 game, and with it the official start of my 3rd year in-game. Grade wise it's currently my best overall show with a score of 60, as well as my best in attendance, or at least until I upgrade the Sportatorium to hold more fans. That being said I am glad that it's finally over, because from here comes the start of a storyline that I've been planning since day one of this save. With any luck, it'll be able to play out as I want it to up to next year's Parade. Broadcasted LIVE on WildStar TV from the Sportatorium in Dallas, Texas w/ a sold out crowd of 1,480...

One of my favorite mods for the game is the C-Verse 97 mod, and as a result I feel my most creative when I try something new in it. This led to my taking over AMW & rebranding as World Class Championship Wrestling, with a focus on being a showcase of talents & styles. I wanted to challenge myself a bit, so I didn't fire any of the initial AMW roster aside from Trenton Evenrud, giving them at least a year to prove themselves worth keeping. Aside from Postman Pete and Hank Hannigan, everyone got their full year and even made for some fun stories, but eventually I moved on from a majority of the AMW originals. We're currently a month away from starting our 3rd year of operation in 1999, which also means it'll be time to put on my anniversary show/season finale the Parade of Champions III in January. I'm really excited for the event since it's going to be the catalyst of a lot of big storylines & character developments over the upcoming year, but also because I've been firing on all creative cylinders in trying to solidify characters throughout my roster. My main event scene naturally has a lot of my creative effort, and I think it's paid off considering everyone has a multi-month story going in to their respective matches on the card. Freddie Datsun: Freddie is currently our top babyface and WCCW United States Champion, winning the belt in July of 1998 after putting an end to a year and a half long feud with Eric Tyler in an I Quit match. Since winning the title he's been under siege by a determined Joel Kovach, who after failing to win his title shot against Datsun, has called a bounty on Freddie that's seen every month feature a new challenger in Kovach's stead. Freddie is running off of the high of finally putting Tyler down however, and is being presented as a blue-collar warrior that refuses to quit. Eric Tyler: Speaking of Eric Tyler, he enjoyed a solid eight-month reign as my 2nd ever United States Champion and has been my undisputed MVP since being hired due to all the positive attributes he's had going for him. I always make sure to showcase Eric, and when he lost to Freddie in July I moved him over to complaining about the rest of the roster. From inviting himself to commentary to mock matches to straight up grading his fallen opponents on how they fought against him, Tyler's been a lot of fun to book as a veteran who knows he's in his absolute prime. Johnny Lawless: The only former AMW "World Champion" to really establish themselves at the top of the card has come a long way from being a generic masked heel. Thanks to his massive popularity in the Mid-South region, he started off the rebranding in 97 strong with a redemption arc & the honor of becoming the first ever WCCW United States Champion. After losing the title to Tyler that same year, his stamina stat started to drop off thanks to his history as a smoker. So I decided to turn his redemption arc into a story about achieving just one more run. 1998 saw him come so close to being champion again, but now he's ending the year even more desperate than when he started. As a result of said desperation, he's recently challenged Train to a match for his title shot at the Parade of Champions. Overall he's still got a decent enough value in stamina that I can probably use him for another year, but he's one of my favorites in this save & I want to give him a proper send-off with good build-up. Joel Kovach: Kovach is probably my current favorite character at the moment due to how much progress I've given him. Going from generic submission machine to remorseless, rich sociopath has made him a whole lot of fun to write as he made his way to the top of the card. I've tried to write him differently than a lot of other rich/money motivated heels, putting his focus on the way he uses money as a tool for his own sadistic wants than making him simply egotistical & vain. He's a vicious businessman after his own personal thrill, and he will spend any amount, do any thing to achieve it. Like send wave after wave of bounty hunters to fight Datsun & bring the US title to him. Runaway Train: Train is the one character I find hardest to write for, mostly because he's a big bad guy who needs to be a constant threat to be the most effective and I have to be creative to keep him that way. I had him spend 1997-1998 as the star of Boss Man Brayfield's Stud Stable, but that ended with Train attacking Brayfield for getting in his way too many times in the middle of 98. Since then he's been an monstrous force that's won himself the top tournament in World Class and a title shot for the Parade of Champions. However, he's also gotten a bit too sure of himself with every victory he receives in the months leading to the Parade...and that might just cost him his contendership status, let alone the match for the title. Puerto Rican Power: Power is the newest edition to my main event scene, having joined just after the 2nd Parade of Champions and immediately making a name for himself by taking on some of the top names in World Class. By the time July hit, he was a bonefide main eventer and resident big man babyface that would kick ass and take names. He's not really spent enough time for me to really write him a lot of character depth, but his latest feud with Eric Tyler over respect has given me some good stuff to work with as he shows off a brutal code of honor to combat Eric's hypocrisy.

This sounds fun, count me in!

iDom has to be one of my favorite ever mods, it was part of why I started to play both TEW & EWR years back. I'd be down to help out for sure if you decide to pursue this mod and need anything.

<p>I'm glad I'm still in time for this round! Thought for sure it'd be closed by now, but since it isn't I'd love a basic set of titles for Chicago Championship Wrestling. Creative wise I'd say just go nuts, though play with the orange color scheme based on the logo a bit, as I'm not really sure how much of it would be too much with the belts.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Tj5xMLX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Tj5xMLX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> -CCW Heavyweight</p><p> -CCW Tag Team</p><p> -CCW Women's</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Thanks a lot in advance dude!</p>
