My September 1990 mod game has reached April 1992. Gordon Gecko's money has come in handy.
Notable happenings:
-Ole Anderson remained as booker in WCW, and the company has thrived.
-The WWF has also been thriving. Ric Flair, Mr. Perfect, Bret Hart, Roddy Piper, Hulk Hogan, etc. have shown they can get matches rated in the high 90s. Dusty never left and has done well in the mid-card mix. WWF will be tough to catch anytime soon.
-Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect) somehow got a WWF contract that allowed him to work as a true independent contractor. But then PNW loaned Hennig to WCW a couple of times, and both times they had Hennig lose to enhancement talent. And that included when Hennig was WWF Champion.
-First chance I got to book it after Hennig won that WWF title, I had my champ (Ricky Steamboat at the time) beat Hennig.
-It has been great fun running TWF, rebranded from Texas to Titanium in the company name. Steve Austin is my face champ with Gary Hart as his manager. Hart was a face when I started the game, so I've stuck with it.
-Scott Armstrong snitched off about performance-enhancing drugs in TWF and he became strongly disliked as a result. Even his brother Brad in the game wasn't happy about it. The probation of sorts from that fallout will finally wear off in three or so months.
-Eric Bischoff died in a car wreck in 1991 in the game, only notable early death to-date there.
-It took a $1.5M signing bonus, but I signed Shawn Michaels to a three-year exclusive contract. Suddenly the cost of business went up for everyone. And thus far, Michaels has been well worth the price tag.
-Bobby Eaton and Owen Hart, with Bill Dundee as their manager, just dropped the tag belts to the Freebirds after a 14-month run.
-It has been very entertaining booking USWA wrestlers and intentionally trying to provoke bad blood among them. Though I have to be careful to avoid allowing that to affect my locker room.
The game remains great fun, highly recommended.
