XxFutureLegend112xX Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 It has been asked many times what if Vince McMahon had not escaped jail time in the 1993 steroid trials. Would Vince have passed WWF on to his wife and children?, Would he sell it to an outside consortium? Would he shut down his creation?. More importantly how would the wrestling world in general survive what many are calling the apocalypse of the wrestling industry. i been thinking alot lately about making this scenario as ive had a ton of ideas about what could happen. Ever since i played the fall ive been wanting to make a MOD that was like it but further back in the past. I very open to sugguestion and id love to have some community participation and input in this mod. things i do need are people who would like to cut some pictures for this and also Logo/Graphics makers. In time ill startying putting promtion previews after i get some input for people. when i say input i mean like what promtions should close or stay open, Who starts a new promotion, who retires, who leaves the sport completely.....things like these so feel free to leave any sugguestion at all. In time ill need a few beta testers but thats sometime off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakarl Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I resent calling any year where we got see around half-a-dozen Bret/Owen matches a "depression" for wrestling! :eek: Even so, this is still definitely a mod I'd be interested in, if only to lead into '95 and make it [b]NOT[/b] a steaming pile of crap.

XxFutureLegend112xX Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 This is a bit of a steal off tommy but i love these things so =) [SIZE="6"][B]Promotion Spotlight #1- World Championship Wrestling[/B][/SIZE] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/Game112/WCW5.jpg[/IMG] [B]Promotion Bio[/B] [QUOTE]WCW has become the most popular promotion in the world with the closure of top rival WWF. They have assembled the best roster of talent durning the depression. They have been under heavy criticism for signing Randy Savage who is a known politician to giant of a deal to the point they released talent to make it. They have been trying to expand into Japan as there industry is still strong.[/QUOTE] [B]Event's of Note[/B] [B]The signing of Savage[/B] [QUOTE]The signing of Randy Savage to a huge deal that would pay him millions of dollars and keep him in WCW for eight years sent shockwaves through WCW. On one hand they were getting an extraorinardy talent but on the other he is an egomianic and cost the company millions of dollars to sign. In response WCW released many wrestlers most notably Sting and Ricky Steamboat. Savage is a hated man in the WCW lockerroom and he has very few allies but he does have Eric Bischoffs backing which means alot. Randy Savage and WCW vetran Ric Flair have reportedly almost come to blows many times backstage and are very stiff in there matches together. Wether or not the WCW lockeroom will hold together has yet to be seen.[/QUOTE] [B]NWA Revial[/B] [QUOTE]At this WCW is the #1 promotion in America but with NWA band together as one promotion they could soon be a top challenger for that title. They have a very solid roster of vetrans and a few younger stars. They signed up many talents that WCW released such as Sting and Ricky Steamboat. Also once Ric Flair and Arn Anderson's WCW contracts are up they have stated they will be headed to The NWA. If NWA get Flair it could give them the boast to overtake WCW. WCW is the best now but by no means do they have no competitors for that title.[/QUOTE] [B]The Superstars[/B] [B]'Macho Man' Randy Savage[/B] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/Game112/RandySavage-1.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]'Macho Man' Randy Savage was one of the biggest stars of the WWF and a former two-time World Champion. Extremely agressive in the ring, he moved like a Savage. One of the best in the business. After the closure of WWF Savage signed a big money deal with WCW and is embroiled in a fued with Ric Flair. Savage has become quite hated by many as his signing made WCW release quite a few talents to afford him.He debuted by helping Ric Flair win the WCW World Heavyweight Title from the soon departing Sting at Spring Stampede. Only minutes later he turned on Flair and left him bloody and beatin. He is currently set to face Flair at Bash at The Beach for the WCW World Heavyweight Title.[/QUOTE] [B]WCW World Champion 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair[/B] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/Game112/RicFlairWCW-1.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair has won more World Titles than anyone in history. A timeless wonder, Flair is regarded by many as the greatest of all-time and the epitome of what a pro wrestler should be. Unmatched on the microphone he has cut some of the most famous promos in wrestling history. When the depression began Flair and his best friend Arn Anderson tryed to get a release from WCW along with friend Sting to join the NWA but was denied by Eric Bischoff. He is currently stuck in his WCW contract and has been stuck in a fued with real life enemy Randy Savage. Flair has made it clear when his contract is up he will be heading to the NWA.[/QUOTE] [B]'Rowdy' Roddy Piper[/B] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/Game112/RoddyPiper.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE] Hot Rod' 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper was one of the biggest stars of the 80's and helped to bring pro wrestling into the mainstream. A great promo and highly charismatic, Piper is well past his prime but he can still get the crowd going. Piper signed with WCW immediately after WWF closed, But he has yet to debut for them. Many belive once Savage finish's his feud with Flair, Piper will debut and challenge for the title.[/QUOTE] [B]'The Enforcer' Arn Anderson[/B] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/Game112/arnanderson2.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]'The Enforcer' Arn Anderson is a member of the great Anderson family and one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all-time. A longtime member of the IV Horsemen. A great technician and one of the best on the mic. Since the great depression of wrestling Anderson has had a few Mainevent chances but it is unknown he will get anymore. He also captured the WCW United States Title. He has threated to leave WCW when his contract expires and join the NWA.[/QUOTE] [B]'Big Daddy Cool' Diesel[/B] [IMG]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/Game112/KevinNashDiesel-1.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE]Kevin Nash was a former basketball player in college who turned to pro wrestling after knee injuries. Began his career as the bodyguard for Shawn Michaels, Diesel. Diesel was signed up by WCW very quickly after WWF closed. He was set to come in and form a tag team with Razor Ramon or Shawn Michaels but WCW failed to meet Razor's or Shawns asking prices so Big Daddy Cool will get a chance to go solo.[/QUOTE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Casey Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Definitely interested in seeing how this goes - I'm all for What If scenarios. Something you might want to consider is having Vince on Hiatus or similar - maybe a lengthy injury that will see him come back to the business at the same time that WWF re-opens, with a big bankroll, maybe three years into the game. I know that 08 will give you the option to have a preferred owner, and if you can have Vince and WWF reappear close together, then he ought to be installed as owner immediately. Also (and I'm slgihtly surprised this hasn't been asked already...) but will ECW be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tizzyt Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hmmmm.... I'm not sure I like the idea of ECW not being in the game as 1994 was a decently big year for them.. Mostly with Shane Douglas' denouncement of the NWA title and Eastern Championship Wrestling becoming Extreme Championship Wrestling... But it is, afterall, your mod, I'll still give it a looksee when it comes out..... btw... from your other topic, I'm working on a graphic for you to see what you think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
