ampulator Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I would agree, but I'm a bit surprised you didn't add Squeeky McClean or Enforcer Roberts to your list. Ring Generals are even more important in a performance-based product, and it's not like the SWF usually has anything for either of them (I find it that it's very easy both to drop really fast in the SWF).

My concern with Roberts is the same as that of Faith - age. Both would be upper midcard talents at most for my TCW, most likely. Roberts might have the outright talent to go to the top, but I think I would have some issue pushing him there....</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Custom Alts These are work of some of our great alt artists that I had yet to use in the game, but I felt they still needed to be shared. Thanks to jhd1 and FINisher for their work!

Guest KingOfKings Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 I only wish I had the ability to plan and put together storylines like you BP42. Even the storyline ideas you had were brilliant. I'm sad to see this one go but I look forward to your next project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sad to see this one go but I look forward to your next project. Thanks, and I am glad you enjoyed. As for the stories, I don't think its really that difficult to put together decent ones. You just take your basic feud, add a few layers and some connections, and you end up with a "deep" storyline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just take your basic feud, add a few layers and some connections, and you end up with a "deep" storyline... Personally, I steal liberally from mid 80's NWA/WCW for my diary. I think its one of the better sources for a traditional promotion in terms of content and feel. Plus it was my favorite wrestling promotion in terms of content and wrestlers of all the promotions and eras I have watched over the last 30 years. But most storylines are really just variations of Wrestler X is feuding with Wrestler Y. Differences come in from WHY they are feuding, who gets added into the mix on both sides, who will do the inevitable turn or betrayal, etc. It's basically Wrestler vs Wrestler is your canvas, but it's up to you how simple or complex you want to paint it.

Yeah, I went to the territories and was intending to use a lot of stuff from that period. Did a lot of reading and a lot of watching. A storyline doesn't have to be anything convoluted or major. Its just providing a reason for two guys to want to fight, and to interest fans enough to want to pay money to see that. That's why titles are so valuable - you don't really need anything else for that feud between champion and challenger. You certainly can add more to it, but there doesn't need to be a whole lot more. Sometimes its as simple as taking something basic and putting just a bit of a twist on it. That's what I was trying to do with the Peak-Benson storyline. Taking your basic "earning respect" storyline and twist it just a bit. Benson is basically getting picked on a bullied by Peak... but instead of earning the respect of the fans by beating Peak, he earns Peak's respect by manning up and taking the beating.

Bigpapa42 Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 TCW Match Types I almost forgot about this. PhantomStranger and I had some discussions about having some continuity between our two different TCW visions. Sharing match names was one of the ways we did that. I'm not sure we ever came to exact finalized decisions on these, but these are what I was going with... Test of Steel - one step above a your standard cage match, this one is would be a chain-link cage with a roof. Victory comes by pinfall, submission, or stoppage. This one never made it into my project, but I know PS used it. Final Reckoning - basically, TCW's version of Hell in a Cell. This was used to end the feud between Tommy Cornell and Ricky Dale Johnson. I ran with the idea that it had only been used once before, in the final match between Sam Strong and Rip Chord in 2005. Shot at the Top - TCW's version of Money in the Bank, it was going to be a 6-man ladder match, with the prize being an open contract for any title. The original intent was to use this at Total Mayhem XV, but I moved away from it in the build. It was unbelievably difficult to come up with a different name for "MITB" that I actually liked... For some reason, I am thinking there was more than these three, but its all I can recall at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
