How do you present that to your fans? "The winner of this battle royale gets a midcard title shot" is obviously something you can't say.

 

Well in fairness, back in those days, the WWF pushed all three of their of their major titles(not counting the Women's) as if they are what all wrestlers strive to win. So while it guarantees a Midcard Title shot, the announcers wouldn't necessarily say a Midcard Title shot, they'd be saying "a shot at the Intercontinental Title!"

''The Winner of this Battle Royal will receive a title shot for any male championship other than the World (Intercontinental, Tag, TV) Heavyweight Title at any time and any place''. The objective of the Battle Royal is to give the worker a shot at a minor success before they try and go on to greatness.

And that works too.

Hope people like the latest nGo update as there are some truly rare pictures in there.

 

I love them! You wouldn't happen to have any good 1985 or 86 Hulk Hogan pics where he's wearing his trademark red bandana do you? I prefer pics of him with that bandana rather than the standard white headband he wore at the beginning of his WWF run because pictures of him in the white headband have him coming off as too calm, cool and collected. Wherease in the red Hulkamania bandana he wore when cutting promos, he looked like he was ready to kick ass and take names. :D

 

EDIT: Also, while working on Risky Business, I have thought of starting up a 1991 diary. However, considering that hardly anyone read my first two attempts, I'm wondering if it's worth the effort. :p I would be using Prime Time Wrestling as the A show to start off with, if for nothing else to write up those roundtable discussions. :D

The 80s and 90s are what I grew up on, and would be a great time warp. Plus it would be fun writing those Prime Time shows before Raw comes around.</p>

<p>A question if you don't mind, Yank. Should Hogan at this point have Creative Control in his contract? Could make things tricky if someone wanted to replicate him putting over Undertaker, which he didn't seem to have a problem doing. Though you could make the case for leaving it because of the WrestleMania VIII fiasco, though there is reason to believe that Vince wanted Hogan to leave quietly for awhile to try and let the steroid scandal blow over. And lastly, would you have a problem with me taking only that out but leaving his Egotistical and Selfishness as is for my pending 1991 diary?</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: Nick Nemeth has Soft Drugs ticked. I know he was busted on the Wellness Policy several years ago for steroids, but I have never heard anything about him and soft drugs. And if it's just recreational, it really shouldn't be ticked.</p>

<p>Well by all accounts he did in fact have creative control his contract by at least 1990 when Mr. Perfect was hot, so I think it makes sense to have it. That said, his personality isn't easy to replicate in the game world. </p><p> </p><p>

I don't mind people taking it off for him personally.</p>

<p>"Zubaz is all the rage" :-) lol nearly fell off my chair :-)</p><p> </p><p>

Great mod enjoying it alot so far, brilliant attention to detail in many areas and it makes a difference from a good mod to an epic one. Only one small suggestion, shouldn´t Dynamite Kid´s stamina be a little higher? 41 is a little low, even though he was spiraling out of control at this point I think some of his stats could be a bit higher.</p>

Thanks for the compliments. :)

 

Yeah I went back and forth on Dynamite. Do you have any youtube footage of him working in 1991? My understanding is he only had tag matches at this point and Johnny Smith carried most of the load. I've seen his stuff before and after 91, but nothing IN 1991. :)

Just found out the hard way that Heenan is ticked for drinking. Probably shouldn't have that ticked because he was only a recreational drinker if he ever was. Also, Earthquake and Tugboat seem to be a bit underrated for entertainment skills. Sure, they weren't the most charismatic guys on the roster, but they were more than capable of cutting a promo and got the crowd to react to them.

Also, for some reason, when setting Momentum or Gimmick Ratings to Good, it maxes out at 70, but can be anywhere from 60 to 70, which means you'll get that Poor Gimmick ding for the latter. May only be a small penalty, but should Ultimate Warrior & Jimmy Hart be getting penalized for having a poor gimmick at this stage in their careers?
