NWAvsWWF Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Version 1.1: Clicky I've paused work on my other fantasy mod because my broke computer is finally allowing me to move files over to my new one, one of them was a fantasy mod i'd been working on along for quite a while and after transferring it to TEW 2013 it is now in the final stages of checking any mistakes, testing and arranging the picture packs etc. Due to some recent news broke by TNA about their new ppv schedule and taking Impact on the road I've been able to update their backstory to match a problem they could face in the upcoming year rather than the unrealistic backstory i originally had for them. Mod start date May 2013, Backstory Part 1: January: January started with huge news for the two biggest promotions in American wrestling, WWE finally launched the WWE Network and TNA announced they were to go on the road for Impact tapings and also reduce the PPV’s from 12 to 4. The network was quickly determined as a huge flop with almost half the expected number buying the subscription and the WWE looked to be in big trouble after putting all their eggs in one basket and making PPV’s only accessible via the network. TNA started the month with a poor Genesis pay per view that had little build up and hype, the show was main evented by Jeff Hardy retaining his title against Bobby Roode and Austin Aries. As the month progressed the Aces & Eights storyline continued to disappoint as Garrett Bischoff and Wes Brisco were announced as members of the group. TNA’s ratings were remaining around the 1.0 mark but attendances since going on the road had been very poor to say the least with half-filled arena’s taking away from the otherwise pretty decent television show, the reduced attendances were losing Dixie Carter a lot of money, that added to no pay per view revenue at the end of the month meant TNA recorded a big loss financially for January. Going into early February they were struck with more bad news….. WWE completed the contracts and officially moved RAW and Smackdown onto the Network, both quickly saw drops in the ratings despite big names like The Rock appearing. The Royal Rumble despite having a great card got a bad buyrate which was significantly less than the previous year’s event due to it only being broadcasted on the WWE Network in America. John Cena prevailed in the Royal Rumble match and The Rock made headlines by winning the WWE title from CM Punk, a move that annoyed many hard core wrestling fans and reported pissed CM Punk off a lot. Title changes in January: The Rock defeat CM Punk WWE Heavyweight Championship Alberto Del Rio defeat The Big Show World Heavyweight title Rhodes Scholars defeat Team Hell No WWE Tag titles Bobby Roode & Austin Aries defeat Hernandez & Chavo Guerrero TNA Tag titles Bo Dallas defeat Wade Barrett Intercontinental title Fire Ant & Soldier Ant defeat Young Bucks Chikara Campeon de Parejas Kaitlyn defeat Eve Divas title Adrian Neville & Oliver Grey win vacant NXT Tag titles February: At the starts of February Hulk Hogan made worldwide press for two repeated family offences, once again Nick Hogan was involved in a car crash due to speeding which this time left several of his ‘friends’ seriously injured and just days later a second Hulk Hogan sex tape was released, Dixie decided enough bad publicity had been brought to TNA by the Hogan’s and terminated Hulk’s and Brooke’s contract. WWE just like TNA continued to lose money and they headed into Elimination Chamber with bad news that The Undertaker would not be in good enough physical condition to compete at Wrestlemania and therefor retired at 20-0. This news brought a halt of plans of CM Punk vs The Undertaker which again wasn’t well received by Punk. Punk then believed he should have been re placed back into the title picture but this was also scratched as The Rock beat him once again in the rematch at Elimination Chamber. Del Rio managed to retain against The Big Show and the chamber match ended in controversy when Sheamus and Randy Orton were both decided the winners after the old both were pinning each other ending to the match. Despite a pretty good pay per view the revenue was again down due to people still not buying into the WWE Network. After another month of bad ratings and pay per view numbers the huge news was announced that Vince called time on his company and left the wrestling business after yet another flop of a business idea. Triple H took the reins and immediately made big roster cuts and programming cuts, getting rid of WWE Main Event, WWE Superstars and NXT leaving only the NXT /FCW promotion to promote the future WWE stars. Just like the WWE, TNA continued to have bad news nearing the end of February, Kurt Angle re-injured his neck and required immediate surgery and put him on the shelf indefinitely, he not only had to leave TNA but is now considering retiring. Jeff Hardy announced he would not be signing an extension for TNA and was forced to drop the belt on Impact to James Storm which closed a month of losses, bad publicity, and terrible news for WWE and TNA. Title changes in February: James Storm defeat Jeff Hardy TNA World Heavyweight Championship TNA Knockouts Tag Team titles become defunct Kenny King defeat Rob Van Dam TNA X-Division title Jack Swagger defeat Antonio Cesaro United States title Jay Lethal defeat Kevin Steen ROH World title CIMA defeat Johnny Gargano Open the Freedom Gate Corey Graves defeat Big E Langston NXT title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWAvsWWF Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Part 2 March: The wrestling world was in disarray and no one could believe Vince McMahon had officially left the WWE, Triple H continued making cuts where necessary and positioned a lot of his good friends in high positions of power backstage. He also was involved in an on screen storyline with Brock Lesnar heading into ‘Mania alongside other top matches, Chris Jericho vs Ryback, John Cena vs The Rock and Alberto Del Rio vs Randy Orton vs Sheamus. Reportedly CM Punk was offered working with many stars heading into ‘Mania including Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler but he refused every storyline offered as he was infuriated that the WWE didn't have a meaningful feud for him heading into the biggest show after all his hard work over the past year. Dixie Carter took advantage of the cuts made by the WWE and brought in one of the cut backstage workers, Jim Ross as the new head of creative, he quickly shook things up presentation wise and behind the scenes as he cut any ‘part timer’ or old star as he wanted TNA to showcase young talent. He brought an end to the Aces & Eights storyline revealing Eric Bischoff as the leader and a blow off match at Lockdown took place where team TNA, led by Samoa Joe and AJ Styles got the win which banished Aces & Eights. Eric Bischoff, Devon, Mike Knox, Ken Anderson, Chavo Guerrero, Hernandez, Kid Kash and Rob Van Dam among others were cut by Ross who sent a message loud and clear he was looking for fresh, young faces to lead the promotion. March ended in shocking fashion and saw ROH, the third biggest promotion in America get mainstream wrestling attention as Antonio Cesaro and Kassius Ohno both returned using their real names as invaders which was reminiscent to the Outsiders appearance in WCW in 1996. The WWE was reportedly blowing up backstage after they realised they failed to keep an eye on the contracts of the two which had both run out. Title Changes in March: None April: TNA started to turn things around with the promise to spike that ratings would not drop despite the lack of big names. Younger talent was getting more exposure which was very good and Jim Ross seemed intent on re-building the X-Division and Tag Team division to the level it once was which saw talent like Harry Smith sign and the return of the Motor City Machine Guns. ROH was being viewed by more people than ever and were extremely hot due to the surprise storyline of the invading Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero, who followed suit with the nWo storyline and revealed there was a third inside man who is working with them. WWE were barely holding onto being a national company heading into Wrestlemania 29 which received the lowest buyrate in over 10 years due to the failure of the WWE Network. Chris Jericho put over Ryback on his way out of the WWE as he headed back to his band Fozzy while The Rock did the same for John Cena, dropping the title and heading to Hollywood, this time for good. Randy Orton was successful in the triple threat match for the World Heavyweight Title but Dolph Ziggler cashed in Money in the Bank seconds later to steal the moment from Orton. Triple H went over Brock Lesnar inside Hell in a Cell which was Brock Lesnar’s farewell match in the WWE as he was leaving just like Jericho and The Rock after not negotiating a new deal. Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan didn’t stay out of the business for long buying the available World Championship Wrestling rights very cheap. A lot of young talent had been snatched up by Jim Ross at TNA but then again young talent isn’t the focus of Hogan and Bischoff who tried to temp as many big names as possible to WCW. Their willingness to splash large amounts of cash quickly landed them three huge names, Jeff Hardy, John Hennigan & CM Punk all signed with Punk being offered one of largest contracts in recent wrestling history. Title changes in April: Randy Orton defeat Alberto Del Rio World Heavyweight title Dolph Ziggler defeat Randy Orton World Heavyweight title John Cena defeat The Rock WWE Heavyweight Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWAvsWWF Posted February 3, 2013 Author Share Posted February 3, 2013 Is Chikara running the same as normal or have they had any roster changes? Right now they're running pretty much the same apart from the title change and a few of their roster having slightly increased popularity, i didn't see anyone from WWE or TNA really fitting their roster when i was re-arranging them but if you can think of anyone I can add them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frootloop Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Super hyped for this mod. A few quick questions, though. Does WCW start at the very beginning of their company's revival, or is there already history/shows booked/etc? What level are the companies going to be at? Judging by the title, I'd assume they're all either in the same level or very close to it. The rosters look a little bit thin, have you simmed any on it to see how it works out?

WCW is at the beginning of their revival, obviously due to the name identity and the big names already signed they are quite popular. WWE are at the lowest brink of national, a few bad shows (not that they have been putting on bad shows in the testing) and they would be at cult level. TNA and WCW are both Cult while ROH are Regional. No matter what a few of the companies still do some hiring and firing in the testing but i do agree WCW and TNA's rosters could have a bit more depth, i will likely a just the rosters again before the first release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I lied, one more question) When does it come out!? Forgot to mention it in the last post, when you asked about how far along is WCW's revival, if all goes well with this mod in the future i would like to make either a year or six month on mod, where WCW ROH and TNA would have hopefully grown with their new rosters. It would be great to see a diary for this mod, if you want any help or input just ask I've began picking up pace with the picture pack and should have it released with the first version of the data, hopefully tonight or tomorrow (UK time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frootloop Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yeah, not to be a hypocrite or anything, but shouldn't WCW be starting off a little better? No TV shows, PPVs, titles or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaysin Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yeah, not to be a hypocrite or anything, but shouldn't WCW be starting off a little better? No TV shows, PPVs, titles or anything? WCW has titles, they're just retired. It's fairly easy to reactivate them. Only one that's missing is the Cruiserweight title and all you need to do is change the promotion in the Editor from WWE to WCW. They have PPVs as well, you just need to secure a PPV deal, but at Regional, I don't think that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I guess I just expected a bit more momentum on WCW's side, seeing as Hogan and Bischoff are on board, I figured they'd have at least a PPV deal and TV show, even if the slot sucked or something. With the names they've got, I guess I just thought they'd have...more, I guess? Then again, maybe that's the challenge, to start in a bit of a hole and work your way out.

I'm about to give it a whirl though. Ah yes i will get that cleaned up, it's only a bit all over the place due to me starting this mod on TEW 2010 a while back You said WCW starts at Cult, but they're Regional. Any reasoning for the change? Sorry that's my mistake they are meant to be at Cult with 65 popularity in the South East and 50 pop everywhere else not 45, I've corrected for the next upload Yeah, not to be a hypocrite or anything, but shouldn't WCW be starting off a little better? No TV shows, PPVs, titles or anything? Like Jaysin said some titles just need to be activated, and some rarely used title like cruiserweight tag team can be purchased as an investment. WCW doesn't have anything as in the backstory they are formed only two weeks prior, also i thought it would be better to leave it up to the player as how they want to run WCW, they are at Cult level so you can get a PPV deal and also the game starts in May so you can get a television deal or both depending on how you want to play.
