The Next Era: WWF 1993

[TragicHero]

Virtually every plausible scenario in the world seems to have been taken before I got to one on these boards, so I figured I'd jump in with the new 1993 mod being developed, in it's early stages, and start the first WWF 1993 diary. Hopefully it's a goody. [FONT="Courier New"][SIZE="6"][b]Under New Management, WWF Enters self-proclaimed "New Era"[/b][/SIZE][/FONT] Not a huge backstory about me as booker, just that I am, and that WWF is turning the page from the Golden Era to it's next generation, having recently lost the Golden Era's "golden boy", Hulk Hogan, a star that my boss, Vince McMahon, now refuses to allow me to re-hire. WCW is under the new management of Eric Bischoff, and so if they can scoop up Hulk Hogan, they may have the beginnings of a huge undertaking on their hand. This is also the time when Vince began to make crucial mistakes in his operations of WWF, we hope to point those out and correct those so that the titanic that was the WWF from 1993-1997 doesn't return in our universe. ------------------------------------------ We start in Week 1, October, 1993 with the following roster: [u]Main Event[/u] [quote] [b]Bob Backlund[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - After a nearly ten-year WWF hiatus, Backlund returned in early 1993 as sort of a cult phenomenon, portraying himself as a legitimate submissions specialist and 'true athlete'. [b]Bret Hart[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - The first big babyface in the post Hogan Era, Hart lost the World Title Belt at WM 9 against Yokozuna, can he regain his glory and the top spot in the company? [b]Lex Luger[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - First entering the WWF the year previous with a deadly 'metal elbow of death!", Luger is as over as he could possibly be, and has turned into another premiere face, battling Hart for that top role in the company. [b]Mr. Perfect[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - On the heels of his biggest main-event push in history, Perfect did the job to Luger at WM 9 when Luger was still a heel. Can Perfect carry his main-event momentum in 1994? [b]Razor Ramon[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - The persona that made Scott Hall famous, the current Intercontinental Champion is the "Bad Guy" Razor Ramon. [b]Rick Steiner[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - One half of one of the Early 90's best tag teams - The Steiner Brothers! [b]Scott Steiner[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - One half of one of the Early 90's best tag teams - The Steiner Brothers! [b]Tatanka[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - Tremendously over with the fans, Tatanka is a good ring-worker with a bonafide Native American gimmick. [b]The Undertaker[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - Unique in that The Undertaker has never necessarily needed a World Title involved to be in some of the federation's best feuds, he has turned into a cult icon over the years. [b]Yokozuna[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - 505 of fake Japanese Sumo Wrestler dominance. The current WWF Champion. [/quote] [u]Upper Mid-Card[/u] [quote] [b]Bam Bam Bigelow[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - A true professional, a rising heel in the WWF business, will he make the jump to Main Eventer? [b]Crush[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - A huge, legitimately sized power-lifter, recently got over a feud with Doink. [b]Doink the Clown[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - A bad-ass evil clown gimmick as a heel. [b]Irwin R. Schyster[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - The tax man! Made a recent appearance at WM 23, at this time he is one half of Money Inc.! [b]Jacques[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Formerly The Mountie, has reinvented himself as one half of the Quebeccers, currently a tag-team champion. [b]Jim Neidhart[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - No longer the tag team partner of Owen Hart, Jim is the first 'Hart' to become a heel of the bunch. [b]Ludvig Borga[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Another champion weightlifter, gets over majorly with the anti-American act. [b]Mabel[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - The huge Mabel! Woo! Yeah! One half of the tag team, "Men on a Mission". [b]Shawn Michaels[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Currently building 'The Clique', Michaels is one of the WWF's rising new stars. [b]Rick 'The Model' Martel[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Perhaps the last run for the snotty, good-looking dude who used to carry blinding perfume around. [/quote] Midcard [quote] [b]Adam Bomb[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Another huge dude, Adam Bomb lacks microphone charisma but has a hell of a name and a gimmick as a rising absolute destroyer in the business. [b]Bart Gunn[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - One half of the tag team, "The Smoking Gunns". [b]Billy Gunn[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - One half of the tag team, "The Smoking Gunns". [b]Diesel[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - The role that made Kevin Nash famous, a rising star in the business at this time, with the major connection in friend Shawn Michaels. [b]Fatu[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - The most relied upon gimmick in all WWF history: A crazy samoan! [b]Giant Gonzales[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Yes, he still existed after his loss by Disqualification to the hands of The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 9. I just! Don't remember what for! [b]Jeff Jarrett[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Another up-and-coming heel, has yet to debut with WWF. [b]Jimm Del Ray[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - One half of the tag team the Heavenly Bodies. [b]Marty Janetty[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - Has been left with little to do after his feud with Shawn Michaels ended in utter defeat. Will this universe's version of the WWF allow him to have an alternative fate?! [b]Mo[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - The other half of the tag team Men on a Mission. [b]Pierre[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Jacques partner and the half of the Quebeccers who wasn't a former WWF Intercontinental champion. [b]Samu[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - See, Fatu! [b]The 1-2-3 Kid[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - Given the name the 1-2-3 kid after his victory over Razor Ramon, the Kid is the ultimate upset athlete. But will that limit his rise to the top? [b]"The Rocket" Owen Hart[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - Owen Hart, on the verge his first big push. I have to say, it's amazing what Stu Hart and Stampede were able to churn out in the 80's -- a main event role of Dynamite Kid, Davey Boy Smith, Owen Hart, Bret Hart and Jim Neidhart would sell in any major market in any era. If only they had a TV contract. [b]Tom Pritchard[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - The other half of the tag team, the Heavenly Bodies. [/quote] Lower Midcard [quote] [b]Bastian Booger[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - He grosed people out by eating raw chickens. [b]Bushwacker Butch[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - One half of the best job-squad face tag team of all time! [b]Damien Demento[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Tried to get over on his name alone, not sure it worked out so well. [b]"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - The big, charismatic American returns for another decade in the WWF! [b]Koko B. Ware[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - A certifiable Golden Era leftover. [b]Skinner[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Used to spit in people's faces with the disgusting wad of chew. An interesting character indeed. [b]Virgil[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - Still struggling to get over as a face after his one feud with Ted DiBiase. [/quote] Opener [quote] [b]Beau Beverly[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - One half of the Beverly Brothers. [b]Blake Beverly[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - One half of the Beverly Brothers. [b]Bushwhacker Luke[/b] - [i]Face[/i] - One half of the best job-squad face tag team of all time! [b]Steven Dunn[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Utterly no memory of this dude. [b]Timothy Well[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] - Utterly no memory of this dude. [/quote] Enhancement Talent [quote] [b]Barry Horowitz[/b] - [i]Heel[/i] [b]Jim Powers[/b] - [i]Face[/i] [b]PJ Walker[/b] - [i]Face[/i] [/quote] So wow. What can I say? The first problem that we since Vince has made for us to correct is the absolute over abundance of talent, some of it no good. We have a huge tag division, but it's mostly filled with undercard guys and jobbers, as the best tag team in the business, The Steiner Brothers, are not even aimed for the titles. Too many jobbers, too many unnecessary roster members, another thing I've noticed is that we're kind of caught in a whirlwind, where there are too many big-time faces and not enough Heels, and those guys that are rising as heels are constantly being squashed by the faces. (See, Bigelow, Bam Bam. IRS.) So expect some exciting turn of events as we go forward. -------------------------- [b]Current Champions[/b] WWF World Title: Yokozuna WWF Intercontinental Title: Razor Ramon WWF Tag Titles: The Quebeccers * It should be noted I have vacated and retired the women's division, as I find it completely and utterly useless.

sounds interesting, I shall be reading, good luck!

A lot of matches here the crowd didn't seem to like, it looks like I'll need to get more of the upper-carders into action in bouts for the time being, as some of the guys really aren't getting over. The Bushwhackers particularly, but they are gimmicky jobbers to begin with. It's good to see Yokozuna get so much heat, we can use that later on.

[FONT="Impact"][SIZE="5"][B][COLOR="Red"]Wrestling Live! Presents: Monday Night Raw Post-Game Show![/COLOR][/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [B] Marty Jannetty no-shows [/B] -- Marty Jannetty no-showed tonight's Live Monday Night Raw event, which was not of considerable concern to the booking team as he was not in the show's plans. Jannetty is rumored to be primed for a possible push, however, so we'll see if this effects those plans. Jannetty will be let off with a warning, WWF officials are telling us at this hour. [B] WWF Executive Team Feels It Needs More Stars [/B] -- The WWF's new booker was contacted after the event tonight, as the WWF Executive team voiced concerns with the crowd's reaction, saying they felt the promotion lacked a good number of viable stars. The Executive team asked the new creative team to either find some stars on the market or work to create some new ones of their own. [B] Bret Hart squashed No-Contest? [/B] -- Rumor has it the Raw Main Event tonight was scheduled to end in a no contest to allow Diesel to gain a little momentum from the fans by getting a draw with Bret Hart, but Hart, one of the WWF's stars with a creative control clause squashed the idea and refused to wrestle unless he was the winner in some fashion or another. [B] McMahon not making life for TragicHero easy [/B] -- Life is not going to get any easier for new WWF Booker TragicHero, as just after the WWF executive team instructed him to go out looking for more big names, McMahon completed the goals he would required out of the new booker, the primary goal being that TragicHero is forbidden from signing any worker who is not unemployed for the next two years. This will make it considerably harder to find new, usable talent. --------- [quote] WCW World Wide!

[CENTER][FONT="Courier New"][SIZE="4"][B]The New Era Proudly Presents...[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [COLOR="Green"][SIZE="5"]WWF Sunday Superstars![/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER] The WWF has released the following card for this Sunday's Superstars program: [quote] Adam Bomb vs. Mo, of Men on a Mission Four Corners Match: Bob Backlund vs. Doink the Clown vs. Ludvig Borga vs. Giant Gonzales Mr. Perfect vs. Bam Bam Bigelow MAIN EVENT: IC Title Match, Razor Ramon (c) vs. Tatanka [/quote] Overview: Tonight, Mr. Perfect starts his campaign toward his WWF title shot at Survivor Series with a match against Bam Bam Bigelow, who has recently gotten into some heated disputes backstage with both Lex Luger and the 1-2-3 Kid. Also on tap for tonight is a big four-corners match with some of the WWF's top superstars, and an IC Match between Razor Ramon, and the hot-streaking Tatanka. --- Another mix of names in here, hopefully this goes better, but it's a beta so this will be tougher. We'll see what happens. Predictions as always, welcome.

[QUOTE=Mtm2k6;221397]Those match and angle grades are very low . . is it a beta?[/QUOTE] Also keep in mind this file is made in the tradition of DOTT and unlike many modern day mods you have to work a bit to get top level results. 1993 will not exactly a time period when wrestling ruled the world unlike later on in 1998, etc. This mod should prove a challenge for even the most talented TEW gamer and I am pleased to see how this diary is coming together. Please keep posting the angle/match grades so I can see how they are developing. Again great work!

You know, for the past few years I've busted my butt in this federation, in this ring for the fans, and at WrestleMania 9 I got screwed out of my WWF Championship. And now I'm working to get it back by putting on the best show I can. And nobody, not even YOU, are going to stop me. The bottom line, Undertaker, is that I AM undeniably The Best There Was, The Best There Is, and The Best There Ever Will Be.

Feedback is always welcome. :) And yes, you've certainly made it difficult to get any good grades, as the second show demonstrates. For what it's worth though, I am getting a B- heat for Perfect vs. Yokozuna at Survivor Series, even this early.
