Personally I just give myself goals to work off... For instance my current WWF 1980(now in 81) goal is to have Dusty Rhodes and "friends" as the main draws as opposed to Backlund and later Hogan thus creating an alturnate reality where WWF looks like JCP/Florida of the 80's but based out of the east coast.. For instance Starrcade is approaching but instead of being a JCP show, it's a WWF show on closed circuit from the Garden headlined by Dusty battling Harley Race for "title vs title"...

WWF Jan 80 to August 81 WWF Heavyweight Champion: Dusty Rhodes since April of 1980 WWF Intercontinental Champion: Don Muraco since May 1981. WWF Tag Team Champions: Andre The Giant & Blackjack Mulligan Other belts: British Openweight: Johnny Saint (we bought one of the British promotions, kept their TV so I run a weekly half an hour World of Soort Show) World Martial Arts Champion: Antonio Inoki (bring him in for defenses occasionally on MSG undercards)

<p>WWF 1980</p><p> Started January now in November</p><p> </p><p> WWF Champion: "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes since April defeating Ken Patera for the gold. Patera had defeated Backlund via Skaaland tossing in the towel inarch.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions:</p><p> Ken Patera & Ivan Koloff defeated Dick Murdoch & Barry Windham in September in tournament final when Murdoch turned heel on Barry.</p><p> </p><p> Dusty brought Murdoch in to team with Barry, Larry Zbyszko actually paid him off to turn. Patera was subbing for Nicolai Volkoff who was injured. The Russians, Patera, Larry & Murdoch are all aligned at this point, and Blackjack Mulligan just turned face to save his son Barry from a recent attack. Dusty missed a month due to an elbow injury (legit), storyline however is he was injured while making the save during the Murdoch turn, tried to compete in the Garden the "next day" against Larry but couldn't continue the match.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: "All American" Paul Orndorff defeated Greg Valentine in a steel cage match and MSG in October.</p>

<p>WWF 1980- "The Dusty Rhodes Era"</p><p> </p><p> We're in August now in month number 4 of Dusty on top.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Top Programs</p><p> Dusty & Barry Windham Vs. The Russians (Ivan Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff)</p><p> </p><p> Ivan was positioned as Dusty's first main challenge, Windham as his Protege. During his program with Dust, The Russians won the tag titles from Kevin Sullivan & Paul Orndorff, leading to Dusty and Windham defeating them at Shea in August for the gold. Unfortunately you're not allowed to hold two titles at the same time and thus the titles are now vacant. Tournament is on going, with Dusty hooking Barry up with his old friend Dick Murdoch as his partner. Dusty Vs. Larry Zbyszko is also a thing that's slowly started up, Larry is fresh off losing to Bruno in the cage in Shea much like real life, but from running his mouth has worked his way into a program with Big Dust.</p><p> </p><p> Andre Vs. Blackjack Mulligan</p><p> </p><p> Andre ran Hogan out of town at Shea with a clean win after months of keeping them apart, Mulligan returned around Shea time and won a battle royal. The following week he got into a pull apart with Andre on TV after calling him out earlier in the show. Mulligan has a rare count put win of Andre as well.</p><p> </p><p> Intercontinental Title Feud</p><p> Greg "The Hammer" Valentine Vs. Paul Orndorff</p><p> </p><p> Generic Babyface Paul here. Feud started after weeks of the champion picking names out of the hat and beating them on TV. Paul was convinced it was rigged so in the end HE rigged it himself to get a TV win over the Hammer. Valentine still refused to give him a shot, so the following week when enhancement talent Stan Lane was hand picked from the fishbowl, Orndorff helped Lane pick up an upset win! Lane & Hammer had a title match the next week, and Valentine broke Lane's leg in the process. This left Hammer with no opposition for She's Stadium in August, so Paul filled in. Since he was a fill in the title was not on the line, and Hammer lost yet again. They had a match at the Garden in the main event, billed as Orndorff's last shot a few weeks later, and went to the curfew. Now Orndorff has vowed to leave town if he can't beat Hammer at the Garden at the end of the month, and Hammer has agreed </p><p> </p><p> Battle Of the Strong Men</p><p> Ken Patera Vs. Tony Atlas</p><p> </p><p> Set up for weeks with Atlas & Patera each doing strength challenges leading to an arm wrestling match in June that saw Patera attack Atlas and damage his eye by smashing him face first into a table. Atlas speaks weeks on the shelf, before showing up in an eye patch. At Shea he attacked Patera after Patera beat Pedro Morales and removed his eye patch revealing he was now 100 percent. They've had a few matches on the house show circuit with typical dq and count out finishes.</p><p> </p><p> The Boogie Woogie Man Cometh</p><p> Jimmy Valiant Vs. Capt. Lou Albano</p><p> </p><p> Valiant returned two months ago as a heel managed by Albano. Didn't last long as after a tag match teaming with Grand Wizard's Masked Superstar against Steve Keirn & Tony Garea in the tag tournament, they lost via a miscommunication. Days later he lost to Dusty at the Garden, and argued with Lou leading to him quitting... The Samoans attacked after the match and Dusty made the save! And thus the Boogie Woogie Man was born!</p><p> </p><p> Other things to watch out for...</p><p> </p><p> Bob Orton Jr. is on a win streak... We purchased Gulas' Territory and as a make nice gave George Gulas & Wayne Ferris deals as enhancement.</p><p> </p><p> Buddy Rogers is hosting Rogers corner weekly.</p><p> </p><p> Wahoo is on the roster now but I've yet to debut him.</p>

<p>WWF 1980</p><p> Started January now in September</p><p> </p><p> WWF Champion: "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes since April defeating Ken Patera for the gold. Patera had defeated Backlund via Skaaland tossing in the towel inarch.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions:</p><p> VACANT</p><p> </p><p> Dusty Rhodes & his young Protege Barry Windham defeated The Russians (Ivan Koloff & Nicolai Volkoff) for the titles at Shea Stadium last month. But Dusty had to vacate since WWF law decree's he can't have both titles.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: Greg "The Hammer" Valentine since defeating inaugural Champion Pat Patterson in May.</p>

Kinda a weird one Stan Lane & Steve Keirn are going to start teaming in my WWF 1981 save, but instead of being put together by Jackie Fargo, I'm toying with the idea of Buddy Rogers mentoring them... Any ideas for a name?

WWF 1980 January- April Champions: WWF Champion: Ken Patera defeated Bob Backlund in March at the Garden when Arnold Skaaland tossed in the towel. Backlund had been attacked by Masked Superstar earlier in the week on TV and has his neck damaged. WWF Intercontinental Champion: Pat Patterson, since start of game. WWF Tag Team Champion: The Wild Samoans since February, defeated Tito Santana & Ivan Putski at the Philadelphia Spectrum. Top Programs: Larry Zybsco Vs. Bruno Sammartino Followed the real life formula to a T, because if out ain't broken don't fix it, no? Ken Patera & Masked Superstar Vs. Dusty Rhodes & Bob Backlund. Dusty saved Backlund a few times before his title loss, Backlund hasn't been seen since. Dusty hasn't had a title shot yet, but much like Hogan in 84, he's about to face Patera as a sub for Backlund at the Garden. Wild Samoans Vs. All American Orndorffs Paul showed up in Feb. as a generic baby face feuding with The Great Hossien Aarab. Hossien quit the promotion after a house show loss and was replaced with a returning Nicolai Volkoff. Within weeks Terry Orndorff was introduced, and after winning a series of house show tags against Volkoff & Tor Kamata, the Orndorffs are ready for a series of tag title shots. Pat Patterson Vs. Greg Valentine Valentine has just returned to the promotion, and made his intentions clear after slapping Patterson (who host Championship Wrestling with Vinny Mac) across the face leading to a pull apart brawl. Andre Vs. Hulk Hogan Heel Hogan Vs. Babyface Andre has JUST started up with promos, no match as of yet but it's coming. Andre is fresh off running Bobby Duncum out of town. The entire purpose of this save is Dusty taking over in the Hogan spot, so we've had some Florida/Georgia guys show up since Dusty returned to the company... Like Kevin Sullivan as a generic Babyface and more recently have signed Ivan Koloff (yet to re-debut) for a run... Expect guys like Murdoch and Mulligan to eventual show up.

<p>WWF 1980 Feb.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Heavyweight Champion: Bob Backlund</p><p> Since game start, currently feuding with Bobby Duncum. Masked Superstar has just shown up and is looking for a match.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Intercontinental Champion: Pat Patterson </p><p> The first ever champion is feuding with the likes of Ken Patera & The Samoans based on his real life Babyface turn.</p><p> </p><p> WWF Tag Team Champions: Tito Santana & Ivan Putski</p><p> Since start, feuding with the Samoans. Very traditional at this point as these teams are the only two teams in the promotion..</p><p> </p><p> Larry Zybsco just turned on Bruno on my last tv, followed the exact same formula as his real life turn.</p><p> </p><p> Paul Orndorff is around as a generic baby face feuding with the future Iron Sheik.</p><p> </p><p> Hogan is racking up jobber wins, waiting a few months before running the infamous Andre feud.</p><p> </p><p> Andre I haven't used at all yet, trying to make him feel special, but I'm about to move him into a feud with Duncum.</p><p> </p><p> Dusty Rhodes has signed on, yet to debut... Got big plans... In fact the whole gimmick with this diary is going to be Dusty in the Hogan role years earlier, and should Vince Sr. Die or retire I'll probably apply for the job with Vince and give Dusty the book.</p>
