daiplug Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Having recently lost my job, i'm finding i have a lot of time on my hands. I decided to try and make a mod. I have started several mods in the past but have never actually got round to completing one due to work, family etc... I'm hoping that annoucing my mod intentions will give me a kick up the jacksy that i need to actually complete this. My mod entitled Wrestling - The Big Bang will be set in 1920, originally it was going to be set in 1900 but the first real promotion didn't start till approx 1920 which is why i have choosen that year. I'm going to try and make the promotion as accurate historically as I can. Genadi has given me permission to use his data, so i will probably import some of his data an edit it with my own twist..... At the momement I'm working backwards from 1920 to modern day. I started working on the data two days ago and so far this is what i have Dojo Graduates - 2 Dojo's - 1 Eras - 1 Gimmicks - 7 Meida Groups - 1 Move Sets - 5 Moves - 6 Narrative - 2 Promotions - 17 Title Lineage - 1 Titles - 1 TV Networks - 5 Worker Relationships - 6 Workers - 23 I'd be interested to hear any ideas, comments, thoughts etc....

Genadi Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 <p>Derek B if I remember had some good ideas when we were discussing this a while back. That may have been a convo not in a thread though I can't remember but I'd definitely tap his brain for ideas. </p><p> </p><p> This mod has so much potential it's insane. Can't wait to see what you come up with dude.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiplug Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 <p>Question:</p><p> </p><p> With a gimmick should the percentage of subtlety should it be higher if the gimmick is easy to recognise so for example... </p><p> Royalty, the worker wears a crown and robe, has a scepter, so its pretty obvious what their gimmick is, so subtlety should be higher?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juggaloninjalee Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 So ultimately this would be the most historical mod ever beginning at the true beginning? This sounds awesome! I just hope you can find enough information. You may want generic carnival goers in the mod too since initially wrestlers would actually wrestle people from the crowd at times. At least that is the story. While usually the person in the stands was a wrestler from another town. Can't wait to see how this goes. It will be very hard to make it accurate up to now but good luck. Hope it goes well! Hope it sees the light of day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayW Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Feel free to use the TV networks mod I made a few weeks back. They go quite far back, you might need to add some, but majority are all there. They are all set to open on their real dates, etc. http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=426107 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiplug Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 <p>Cheers RAyW.. I already have it on my laptop and that will save me alot of work..</p><p> </p><p> juggaloninjalee</p><p> The accuracy of some of the workers from 1920 to 1940 will be questionable, but the workers i have included so far i have based their stats on the information i have read about them..</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggaloninjalee Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Who will be the top promotion and top star at this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky The Squid Boy Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Man best of luck with this, it'd be awesome if this mod came to be. It's gotta be the most vast undertaking of all the mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiplug Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 The game will start with 1 promotion, run by the "gold dust trio" of Ed Lewis, Billy Sandow and Toots Mondt. Their promotion toured america and Europe and was the first promotion to actually have "contracted" wrestlers. The promotion was never given a specific name so I've called Strangler Wrestling (the name may change as i'm still researching this), other active workers at the start of the game are Ad Santel Dan Mcleod Dr Roller Ernest Roeber Farmer Burns Frank Beell George Hackenschmidt Max Baumann Tokugoro Ito Tom Jenkins I'm mostly still researching at the moment. The problem is the 1920's is really interesting and my research keeps side tracking me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceej Perilous Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I just wanted to delurk and say I would have gotten the game by now if a mod going back this far had been available, as history in general has been a long-running interest of mine. Research-wise I don't know if I could tell you anything you wouldn't already know with strong google-fu, but I'd be all over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daiplug Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 I've haven't done anywhere near as much as i wanted to have done with this yet. I'm still researching 1920-1930. I've finished researching Europe and The US for this period, I've just started researching Australia and Mexico for this period. Im just currently reading about a promotion called WCW from 1930s in Australia!!?? My major problem at the moment is research keeps sidetracking me and i'm getting to interested in the goings on in this period and loosing track of the greater goal!!!!

daiplug Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 juggaloninjalee hope all goes well with birth!!! Still don't know whether we are having a girl or boy yet, i suggested to my girlfriend that we named the baby Randy out of respect for The Macho Man, needless to same she wasn't impressed and its not going to happen!!
