Wrestle Spirit 2 Road to Glory

[Occasional_Z]

I love Wrestling Spirit 2 (had it since release) but it's now taken a backseat to TEW 2010. I've seen how the Road to Glory rules have reinvigorated TEW 2010 for many people and was wondering about doing the same sort of thing for Wrestle Spirit 2. So, with apologies to Kamchaka, here is my attempt at making some rules for a Wrestling Spirit 2 RTG. I'm thinking of making a diary of it, to keep my interest in the game

 

Road to Glory challenge

 

Goal = Take a nineteen year old rookie wrestler to a major world title. (National sized company and above)

 

Character starting information

 

- Has to be nineteen years old at start of game

- No mentors!

- For the first nine months, have to work in home area or bordering area. I'm happy to consider Europe a bordering area to the UK as the UK is part of Europe

- Has to start with realistic potential

- Only one 'Finisher' level move allowed to begin with

- Fluent in Home area language only

- Only allowed half the full move allowance (i.e. You're allowed 25 strikes in the game, so it's 12 in RTG)

 

After every year, you can roll the dice and select from the mystery box, a la the TEW 2010 mystery box. I've compiled a few so far, suggestions welcome.

 

1 - 'Mama, I'm Going To Wrestling School!' - Learn a new 'Finisher' level move.

2 - 'Change Of Heart' - Change disposition for the biggest company you work for.

3 - 'Shooter' - Learn a new 'High' Level submission hold

4 - 'Prior Appointment' - Miss the next title match you're booked in, regardless of company

5 - 'Two Heads Are Better Than One' - Form a tag team with someone of the same disposition and overness (if you can't do this for your first contract, try the second, then the third)

6 - 'Secret Identity!' - Change your worker name for your second contract to something mysterious...(If under a written contract, then do it for that contract)

7 - 'Take This Job And Restaff It!' - Quit your third contract and find employment elsewhere. (if under a written contract, then roll again)

8 - 'Times Are Hard' - Move to the next lifestyle choice down.

9 - 'Personal Trainer' - You hire a personal trainer; put your Stamina rating up as much as you can afford (don't forget living costs!)

10- 'Rivals' - Request a feud with someone of the opposite disposition and similar overness (if you can't do this for your first contract, try the second, then the third)

11 - 'A Burning Ring Of Fire' - Quit your third contract and apply to ROF (if under a written contract, then roll again)

12 - 'Ring Rust' - Lose your most damaging 'High' level standing move

13 - 'Teacher and Student' - Form a tag team with the oldest person you can! (if you can't do this for your first contract, try the second, then the third). If you are one of the five oldest wrestlers(includes ties) in the promotion, form a tag team with the youngest wrestler on the roster.

14 - 'Career Suicide' - Quit your Main contract and find work elsewhere (including written/exclusive PPAs)

22 - 'Looking for Love?' - Save your money to play blackjack with the next female you encounter backstage.

23 - 'Falling Out' - break up a tag team in your main contract (if none, work through second contract, then third)

Feel free to add any suggestions to the list - I've left some gaps to be filled in. I'm planning on updating this until next week then starting a diary.

Just some thoughts:

 

4 (Prior Appointment) should be made to be a bit more penalizing. I'd suggest that instead of your next match, it should be your next TITLE match (makes things interesting if you're the champion....).

 

13 (Teacher and Student) could have a provision that if you are one of the five oldest wrestlers(includes ties) in the promotion, you form a tag team with the youngest wrestler on the roster.

 

Could also add provisions for "Eye of the Tiger" (Request a feud with someone of the next higher card position, if a Main Eventer then a ME of opposite disposition) and "A New Challenger Approaches" (as above, but with next lowest card level/another jobber).

 

Also, "Mid-Life Crisis." You must spend as much money as you can on investments, starting with the most expensive and working downward. May want to force a monkey purchase before anything else can be bought if funds allow it.
