[forlan]

I like the look of them, simple but effective

[QUOTE=forlan;493088]I like the look of them, simple but effective[/QUOTE] Thank you sir.

[DaMegaFish]

They look nice CW and capture the feel, but im worried that Ill wind up hating the 1993 part when 1994 rolls around ;)

[QUOTE=DaMegaFish;493106]They look nice CW and capture the feel, but im worried that Ill wind up hating the 1993 part when 1994 rolls around ;)[/QUOTE] A fair point. Although the title of the mod, as far as I am aware, will have '1993' written in it, so the pictures will perhaps be reflecting the name of the mod.

[DaMegaFish]

Seeing as TEW 07's 93 Mod was the only one I played for 07, I really have high hopes for this. Along those notes, maybe a more clever title could be thought up?

YEAR OF THE DOINK! or THE YOKOZUNA AND GIANT GONZALES SCHOOL OF WRESTLING. hmm.. maybe not. What major events happened in 93?

[DaMegaFish]

Lets see, 1993's major events would include RAW launching in Jan, Flair returning to WCW and begining the Flair for the Gold, and Bischoff takes control of WCW. So, something along the lines of The War Begins or Calm Before The Storm (as in 1996 and the Monday Night Wars is the storm) or The New Era Those would be my suggestions.

[CW Saton]

Hogan left the WWF in 1993 didn't he? and it is the year that Bret Hart really began to feature in the main event after winning the Rumble and facing Yokozuna at Mania. Also 1993 was the year that Paul Heyman took over from Eddie Gilbert as the head booker of ECW. The Cartoon Era Hart Attack! The Road To War Some possibilities. It wasn't a great year '93, but it's certainly a potential turning point and a strong time which to base a mod on with the WCW/WWF rivalry beginning to heat up.

[DaMegaFish]

Out of those, im going to favor The Road To War. To me this is REALLY when things began to shape up for the Monday Night Wars.

[RobTaylor]

Road to War is ok... butI guess it depends when the mod is going to start... If it's Jan you can decide to keep Hogan, Flair and Savage if you are WWF and the Wars might never have happened... My suggestion... "RAW and Peace..."

"RAW and Peace..."[/QUOTE] You may not be able to keep them because at that point didn't they have a dislike of Vince? Which may make resigning them difficult.

[CW Saton]

I suppose Road To War could have a double meaning, in that it's the road to war between the WWF and WCW and it's also the run up to the début of Raw.

[DaMegaFish]

Ooh I like that little double meaning. Id say Road To War should be it though, this year is where the foundation started, with RAW starting a new live Mondays show concept for wrestling (Even though they later switched to taping it...) and Eric taking control of WCW and turning them into a viable contender to go toe to toe with WWF, this is really in my mind where wheels started turning and the collision course was set.

[QUOTE=CW Saton;493140]Hogan left the WWF in 1993 didn't he? and it is the year that Bret Hart really began to feature in the main event after winning the Rumble and facing Yokozuna at Mania.[/QUOTE] Uh...it was the other way around. Yoko won the Rumble and faced Bret at Mania.

[DaMegaFish]

[QUOTE=SasoreGatame;493505]Uh...it was the other way around. Yoko won the Rumble and faced Bret at Mania.[/QUOTE] And then Hogan won the belt :D

[CW Saton]

[QUOTE=DaMegaFish;493515]And then Hogan won the belt :D[/QUOTE] Indeed, it would be nice to be able so sort out that debacle with this mod. Firing Hogan, or possibly retaining him to create the NWO angle early in the WWF.

any chance of a Forlan testing diary in the dynasty section so we can see how the results turn out ;)

[forlan]

Thats not a bad idea actually, just a watchers diary kind of thing...maybe...hmm

[forlan]

Just a few notes from starting a test game, obviously a lot of free agents to add etc so it might not be truly reflective but it is quite accurate. Obviously the mod starts 1993 January, on the Power 100 for 1992 the top ten is (based on in ring performance) 1. Bret Hart 2. Shawn Michaels 3. Jushin Lyger 4. Owen Hart 5. Keiji Mutoh 6. Ric Flair 7. Mascara Sagrada 8. Ted DiBiase 9. Curt Hennig 10. Masahiro Chono Starting as WWF the creative meeting gave the following [B]Franchise Players[/B] Bret Hart Shawn Michaels Ric Flair Hulk Hogan Ted DiBiase [B] Next Big Things [/B] Owen Hart [B]Hot Prospects[/B] Owen Hart PJ Walker Fatu Brian Knobbs :s Samu [B]Talk the Talk[/B] Hulk Hogan Ric Flair Randy Savage Bret Hart Ted DiBiase [B]Show Stoppers[/B] Shawn Michaels Owen Hart Bret Hart Ric Flair Randy Savage [B]Ring Generals[/B] Bret Hart Shawn Michaels Owen Hart Ted DiBiase Ric Flair [B]Who's Hot[/B] Bret Hart Yokozuna Shawn Michaels Hulk Hogan Mr. Perfect [B]Who's Not[/B] Jim Powers The Berzerker Blake Beverly Beau Beverly Bob Backlund [B]Time Decline[/B] Kamala (10 years) Bob Backlund (10) Skinner (9) Jim Duggan (9) Ric Flair (8) [B]Hidden Gems[/B] Chris Candido Akira Hokuto Gedo Chris Jericho SATO Now to do exactly the same thing with WCW [B]Franchise Players[/B] Sting Rick Rude Ricky Steamboat Big Van Vader Johnny B.

Chono, Hennig, and Owen (1993 Owen anyways) being in a top ten, much less as high as Owen is, to name the main problem.

[Woodsmeister]

please remember that mods are the creators opinion and also the game would probably favour an all rounder (Owen) than a Puro Style / technical (Chono) and a brawl / technical (Hennig).

[forlan]

Plus im pretty sure Adam has said numerous times the in game top 100 is based on various factors and since nothing has happened yet and it is off the previous year etc....plus Chono was the NWA World Champion at the time in WCW so maybe that helped propell him up the rankings. Plus loading up another game the top ten has changed slightly so it must be subjective as loading up a second tester the top ten is Bret Hart Jushin Lyger Shawn Michaels Keiji Mutoh Owen Hart Ric Flair Misterioso Mascara Sagrada Ted DiBiase Randy Savage Hennig comes out 13th with Chono at 15th so it obviously takes random factors into account and such.
