  1. Y2J debuting on Monday Night RAW in 1999. Still gives me goosebumps up to this day.
  2. <p>Hi, I have a short question about tv shows and events:</p><p> </p><p> Is there any difference between running a tv show on a commercial broadcaster and running a weekly event on a commercial broadcaster?</p><p> </p><p> If I understand correctly, events have larger audiences than tv shows, so wouldn't it be the better option?</p>
  3. JCP May 1988 NWA World Heavyweight - Ric Flair NWA United States Heavyweight - Barry Windham NWA World Junior Heavyweight - Mike Graham NWA World Television - Dusty Rhodes NWA United States Tag Team - Sting & Curt Hennig NWA World Tag Team - Rock 'N Roll Express
  4. <p>4 weeks before Starrcade 87, I'm really hyped since it's the very first time I get a long-time save running and I'm still enjoying the game.</p><p> </p><p> My card for Starrcade 87:</p><p> </p><p> Arn Anderson © vs. Barry Windham for the US Heavyweight title</p><p> Luger & Blanchard vs. Sting & Curt Hennig</p><p> Rick Rude vs. Bull Fernandez in a Last Man Standing match</p><p> The Fantastics vs. The Powers of Pain</p><p> The Garvin Brothers vs. The New Breed</p><p> The Midnight Express vs. The Fabulous Freebirds for the US Tag titles</p><p> Rock 'N Roll Express vs. North-South Connection for the World Tag titles</p><p> Dusty Rhodes vs. Ric Flair in a Steel Cage match for the World title.</p><p> </p><p> The stipulations for the main event are that no member of The Horsemen may get involved and if Dusty loses, he may not challenge Flair for the title again.</p>
  5. Caleb Konleys birth year is actually 1983
  6. <p>I just read an interview with Braun Strowman where he talked about what a great performer Roman Reigns is, and that he is one of the best in the world and stuff.</p><p> </p><p> Imagine Randy Savage, King Kong Bundy, Sgt. Slaughter or Bobby Heenan talking about Hulk Hogan that way in the 80s. </p><p> </p><p> He also said heels and faces don't matter anymore, it's just about "megastars" like him and Roman going out there doing something and the fans cheer for it.</p><p> </p><p> Damn, wrestling today sucks. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
  7. Will workers with a gimmicky gimmick get penalised for being "over-exposed in lengthy matches" if only used as a manager?

What I mean by that, is just squash matches against openers/enhancement and promos during TV, while keeping the "superstars" apart until PPV's?

It went pretty good and was quite easy to book.</p><p> As WWF has only two B shows in this mod there were also no pop losses.</p>
  10. Yap, I understood when you first mentioned it, I just answered to moon_lit_tears.

I like the Look of St Louis Wrestling Club. They seem to prefer solid technical wrestling but I don't know what else? and in what direction I should take them?</p><p> </p><p> I started a new company in the UK, with the hope of starting with the UK guys and slowly introducing more Americans, perhaps joining NWA.

So there are not many restrictions other than the product of the company. </p><p> </p><p> St. Louis has signed Dory Funk Jr. already, so the NWA World Heavyweight champion would be part of your roster. Let your other top stars fight him, bring in the top stars of other territories to challenge Funk, that's it.</p><p> </p><p> Territory Daze has also great worker biographies, sometimes I spent hours reading them instead of actually playing the game, so you can get a lot of information from there, too.</p>
  14. Yes, use them together in angles. The workers' Charisma, Mic and Acting skills will improve, even if he's not rated on entertainment skills in the angle.
  15. Go to the news section, filter for your company and results story type, select the show and you can click through the matches and see who was involved.

  21. I'm in January 2017 in a TNA save started October 2016. Billy Corgan rebranded TNA which is now officially called IMPACT Wrestling. Ryback became World Impact champion after feuding with Bobby Lashley and Kurt Angle (who returned after Bound for Glory) for a few months and will go on defending the title as a monster heel champion for the rest of the year. Matt Hardy just recovered from a (kayfabe) serious head injury caused by Moose and claims that he had visions of the future. While he was in hospital, Mike Bennett called himself "the future of Impact Wrestling" during promos. This will lead to a "Choose your destiny"-match at Slammiversary. Kofi Kingston signed with Impact Wrestling after his WWE contract ended and debuted as King Kofi, an African monarch with a good heart but a manipulative, evil counselor, Prince Nana. EC3 interrupted his debut speech to tell him that there is already a king of Impact Wrestling. Jade won the Knockout title at Bound for Glory and feuded with Joey Ryan, who won a battle royal for a shot at a title of his choice, until Genesis in January, where she won a match for the title against him. This led to her announcing that the Knockout title is called the Women's title now. Aron Rex renamed himself "The Idol" and recruited some Believers (Baron Dax & Basile Baraka) during a feud with James Storm which is still going on since the game began. No idea yet where this will lead to. Cody Rhodes lost a feud against EC3 and Bully Ray in the past and now should go on and go for the secondary title held by Drew Galloway, but Galloway is out for 40 days with an injury now so I have to make up a plan B for him so he can play a role in the World title picture in the future. I'm not really a creative mind so I'm really proud of this save so far and the further I am into the game the more ideas come up, although I'm still learning the mechanisms of the game.
  22. Will I get penalized for having a face worker managed by a heel manager?

  24. This awesome mod puts my butt in the seat for weeks now! I didn't make much progress in the game, though - I'm too busy reading all those excellent biographies.
