Moderndaywarrior Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Well,it's been a horrible 6 months or so...too much responsibility/workload at a lousy job combined with management that is honest to god, legitimately out of control to the point where I questioned their sanity (We're talking about every day lining people up and nit-picking someone over something incrdibly minor and anal to the point of tears and medical complications from being so upset)....it pretty much pushed me to a long break down. End result: After a good telling off of management,I am now unemployed. the upside is after a nice long rest over the last 6 weeks or so, I am feeling better than i have in a LONG time and ready to come back to this sucker and get it going again,plus now I've got the free time to do it.

Taylor is out of it, Alfred Neely's gonna stop this one right here!Wow....listen to all that booing,right now,I don't if these people hate anymore more than Super Olympia..... Super Olympia def.

captainlou Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yes, I'm still out there. Welcome back, although under now unemployed status. Rest is always good to bring things back down after a stress breakdown. I'm starting to pull in a lot of hours myself at work but it also allows me to keep things going with you-know-who. WWF needs another champion, although I like to root for heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderndaywarrior Posted February 19, 2010 Author Share Posted February 19, 2010 Great to have you back, Warrior. I love that angle you're working with Watts. Adds some real character to the matches. Cheers! Appreciated. For me it's actually fun to "do a Bill Watts" and try to explain the results in a logical,"kayfabe" way...I sit down,look at the card,watch a little MSW and think about how old Cowboy Bill would handle it. Of course,sometimes the game hands it to you on a silver platter...in the MSW match I stumbled into a perfect finish...landed a seated punch flurry...got "Super Olympia stops to shout some abuse" message then got the anderson step over arm bar,considering Watts had just gone on a rant before and during the match(With Watts,you were either the greatest guy ever or the greatest evil ever to walk the earth,gotta love that about him),it wasn't hard to connect the dots.

I'm was just glad for an "average" grade of C; it was one of those matches where Reed countered almost every move I did and he did nothing but Punches and Standing/Grounded Side Headlock until I hit medium then he did Standing Axe Handle/Axe Handle Flurry over and over, it was literally the only moves he did until I hit danger and he went for finishers.....I pretty much had to drag him kicking and screaming to a passable match lol. Arn's current popularity number is 44% which in GCW is exactly the middle of the card; in Steel Belt I'm breaking into the middle card; in MSW Arn is 8th overal so he's well into the Upper Midcard....the only guys higher than Arn in MSW are Big Cat,JYD,Ted DiBiase,Kamala,Wrestling II,Mr.Wonderful, and Butch Reed.

captainlou Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 BTW, as always, this is a tremendous read. Thanks for bringing it back. I'm not a great writer like you so I'll stick to the blow-by-blow and give everyone a good seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg McNeish Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 It's pretty cool that they used you to hotshot the title between Hacksaws. What a terrific way to tease a break-up. You're definitely serving the greater good, right there. I'm interested in how your Aerial and Flashiness has progressed. You've been pumping those up for a while. Are you getting close to your goals? By the way, due to how awesome this diary is, I'm considering purchasing WS2. I didn't buy the first one, but have played both demos. They never really struck me as anything more than a bit of fun, now and then. You've shown me that it can be something much more, if you're willing to invest your imagination into it. I'm still not 100% on it, but if I do, you should get a commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciated as always,,your diary is good as always and it's nice to have different styles of presentation,it keeps things interesting.

I'm still not 100% on it, but if I do, you should get a commission. You do have a point there on the TV titles ,Greg.....if I were Bill Watts, I'd have Duggan come out and ask his friend for his contracturally obligated re-match he never got againt Super Olympia to set up a "Battle of the Hacksaws", then from there you could heel turn either guy, lead into a re-formation of or renewed feud with "The Rat Pack".....you could even segue into a Mr.Wrestling II heel turn by having him become upset over Duggan teaming with Magnum T.A. and ruin the match.....if you really want to go nuts you could do a triple turn: Wrestling II comes out and helps Reed win,double team beatdown, DiBiase comes out for the save,and your big programs for a few months is ready made. Aerial and Flashiness are at 29% each; my goal is 39-40% in each, which i know by testing is Arn's max in those skills and just enough to give him a C- grade, which in my mind gives him just enough agility and flash to not stand out as bad.At 3 matches a week, it should take just under a month to hit goals, depending on if I am not booked or get an extra bookings for monthly arena shows. Of course I appreciate the compliments,being a "traditional" fan I got into the WS series when i learned about the D.O.T.T. mod and was absolutely blown away how enjoyable it can be with a little imagination,it's one of the few games I can watch really get involved in cheering for one guy or another and with so many great old school workers the sky is the limit when it comes to match-ups.....I also really enjoy "playing Bill Watts" and bringing a little kayfabe to the bookings and matches to make them seem as "real" as I can;it's a nice break from today's pretty,but often uninspired, graphics and a great mental exercise as well.

Moderndaywarrior Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 A retro commercial! Wow! Nice touch! Thanks, while I can't claim it as an original idea,I thought I'd try it here to help differentiate the WTBS show from the local channel shows.

Greg McNeish Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Oh man, do I wish I had an Atari. Terrific write-up for the tag match. Despite taking place in GCW, that would have been right at home in Mid South. Just a fantastically hot ending sequence, with Arn breaking up the pin, after the Doomsday Device, Garvin bouncing back for the babyface comeback, all to have it cut short be some stinky heelery. Just good fun tag team action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just good fun tag team action. That was one of those matches where once it got into the later stages,I knew it would be good....I really thought I was done after Garvin got the Doomsday Device and got fired up when Arn made the save,I got a good flurry in to set up Garvin's finisher,next thing I see is Ellering on the apron....unfortunately it one of those "it allows Animal to make a comeback" deals and he went right to the submission,which didn't get broken up. It was fun though, the only downside was because of Garvin's position on the card it hurt Arn's overness, but at least it was a loss to decent talent and not Rick McGraw.
