WWF: The Golden Age...and beyond?

[Beejus]

<p>Fin.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p>Wow, man.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

I was waiting for you to finish up before giving out comments, but now that I've seen it, I'm practically speechless. That is the most summed up answer I can give to all of this, all of your universe. WrestleMania VI was everything we wanted and more, an ending to some stories but a beginning to others, just as it should be. Because professional wrestling never truly "ends", it's not a normal TV show that will have a series finale. There is always something new around the corner to try and keep the people watching.</p><p> </p><p>

And that's what you've done every time.</p><p> </p><p>

And nothing could have been bigger than Hulk Hogan joining the Family.</p><p> </p><p>

When I read the way Hogan's match ended against Piper, I kinda felt that you would be turning him heel, but who would have guessed that it would have been done in such grandiose fashion? </p><p> </p><p>

Thus closes probably one of the greatest dynasties that all EWR and TEW has ever seen written, and it couldn't have gone off any better.</p><p> </p><p>

Amazing job, TFC. Can't wait to see what brilliant production you bring us next.</p>

[franticloser]

This is probably one of the best dynasties I've ever read, it's up there with Nevermore's on again off again ECW: Worldwide. In fact I think you actually have taken over as number one. I am going to love going back an rereading this, as well as your ROH and short lived ROH in 94 dynasties while I wait your new project.

[GingeyOne]

<p>Wow! A hell of an ending, and a page turner of an epilogue!</p><p> </p><p>

This is by far the most well written, creative, enthralling TEW diary I have ever read. I will miss it!</p><p> </p><p>

Only regret is not staying ontop of making predictions. I scored very well at Mania, but didn't even have Rumble ones. I will try on your next one to keep on top! I want to be apart of a championship series in the future!</p><p> </p><p>

I wonder to what depths Bret Hart sank to get even with his brother? What steps Kane took to force a conflict with his? How long Sting's rise to the top would take, along with his rival Shawn Michaels. So many great moments. I will miss this greatly!</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks again!</p>

[LordofGustav]

A great epilogue to a great diary... simply amazing, i may never forget this diary. The epilogue was the best. A proyection of the future, i think that Race to the Top would have been at least 56% at Rotten Tomatoes, considering how great your writing skills are.

 

And very suprising that Kane was Mr. E. I didn't expect him to see him that soon. Possibly the most surprising thing i ever readed. I had fun reading and participating in this diary. I hope i can do the same for the next RW diary that you do.

 

Hope you can make another real world dynasty.

 

By the way, you automated the save game and the Hogan vs Flair just came out or you only wrote it as epilogue?

[K-Nection]

<p>Wow you ended with a Hogan Heel Turn!? That was utterly amazing! Beautiful stuff man! I'm glad to have read this from start to finish. I've even shown people this dynasty over the years who don't even play TEW but they would read this because it was amazing. </p><p> </p><p>

They would ask me why aren't you on the WWE writing staff? I would respond that TFC and Vince would not ever be able to coexist because the man can't let it go in real life. I think you should send this dynasty as your resume for the writing team when the old man steps down.</p>

[The Final Countdown]

Okay, a little post-game wrap-up so to speak. Thanks to everyone who followed along and participated in this dynasty at any point in its approximately 43 months (if my math is correct) of existence. There are far too many of you to try and thank individually, so just know that I appreciated all the feedback and comments; without it there's no way it would've lasted half as long as it did!

 

(Remember when I initially said I wanted this thing to make it all the way to the present day? How crazy was I to think that was even remotely possible?!)

 

I do want to single out:

 

-Genadi, for the hard work he put into this mod;

-justxyank for the nGo picture pack which I absolutely love and think worked so well with this dynasty;

-Ritchardo and Anderz, for taking control of JCP and getting them back into the hunt, but more importantly, adding their own creativity into the mix and keeping this dynasty alive when I was just about ready to throw in the towel at WMIV.

 

What's next for me? It could be the Summer of Punk project I've already mentioned and have wanted to do for years. But maybe not, both for reasons already stated and because it seems like that mod is still a long ways off. Honestly though, an extended break is probably something I need regardless of my next project. I jumped straight into TGAAB when my old ROH diary ended, so I've had a dynasty project running here since March 2009. I took a break of a month or so a couple of times during ROH, and there were periods here where I waited that long or longer while my partner had the save. Regardless, I think having a few months off here would be a good thing for me, not to mention I've got some writing projects elsewhere that will monopolize a lot of my free time right now.

 

It may be awhile, but I'll be back with something new eventually. Until then I'll continue to lurk the boards and follow my favorite diaries; maybe I'll even comment on a few of them!

 

God help the WWF Kane is here. I just loved it, really superb storytelling and with Kane and Austin debuting it looks like the next generation was set. Interesting to see both Shawn and Bret turn on their "brothers". Great show TFC......but I have to know where would you have gone next? What were your future plans???

 

Edit: Since this was a the top of the next page I colored the spoilers with white...

It's important to remember that most of my future plans were being considered with a post-Mania brand split in place, and a number of things changed once I decided to end at WMVI. Aside from that, I think I set the table pretty clearly for the big stories over the next few months.

 

...Y-You're really going to end this? Really?

 

The single greatest diary in the history of TEW, and you're going to end it? After the awesome show you just put on?

 

Can't you convert the same game into TEW 2016 and continue it from here?

 

Ah well, I guess I might as well go make my own diary to fill the void. (Not if it ever works)

That would take way too much work.

 

You actually did it! You gave Piper the victory over Hogan that he never once got in his life on the biggest stage of them all. I'm stunned. And with the introductions of those two guys, the gang is pretty much all there for the 90's push that got destroyed due to steroids and Vince's utter worship of Hogan to the detriment of building up the rest of the roster and future stars since the territories didn't feed them to WWF anymore because they didn't exist.

 

You didn't have that shortsightedness and managed to produce the best diary ever on GDS that could keep going for forever and really makes me sad that Adam never made it possible to import games into the next version. Truly a masterpiece, TFC. I look forward to your next diary. Personally, I think the upcoming 1980 one by Al would be good if you're wanting to do a small fed to build up since they'll all be regional. If you wanted to do Punk, you could do the 2004 Idolized mod with TNA complete with Punk, though they're at Cult or were in the 13 mod. So many choices outside of that era to pick from (if you're burned out/don't want to feel like you're repeating yourself).

Yeah, it's definitely a shame that importing saves has never been added. That would honestly be my #1 most desired feature for a new TEW.

 

Whatever I do, I doubt it'll be anything in the 80's. I'll look to jump into new territory/characters. If I were to run a 2004 save I'd be far more likely to run with ROH than TNA.

 

Wow....just wow!....wow! Why did this have to die again? That was brilliant booking! I can find no faults in how you handled any of it. I really don't know how you were going to top that show so that would be a great place to end it but man what a swan song! I love the little nudge you gave at the end with the movie thing. I can't wait to see part 2 of the Epilogue.

 

I'm impressed with how on par I was on the Main Event half of your card....but I didn't see the Kane thing coming at all! For the record this is the only dynasty I have been reading lately and I would love a PM when you start your next one. I'm busy a lot of times and barely even make it on the forums anymore. But I want to take advantage of my spot in the next fan thing.

Yes, I'll do that. If anyone else would like me to contact them either via PM or email when my future dynasty starts, let me know and I'll add you to a list.

 

What an epic ending!!! WrestleMania once again delivered some epic moments. Hart vs. Hart, Piper/Hogan, Macho getting retired!!

 

Thanks TFC for such a great story. I looked forward to this every week and will have to find another diary to read while I wait for your next one. I appreciate the point for number of titles that changed hands. I was going back and forth changing my mind a couple of times and forgot to fill that out. Even missing a PPV I managed to just sneak in to attempt to defend my UFC title

 

Loved the Vin Scully remark on his last day calling Dodgers baseball, that was a nice touch. He is a legendary announcer.

 

Imagine a world where the Rock didn't become the Rock.

 

Looking forward to part 2!

 

As for your save, I want to do all those thing you mentioned. I would love to have been able to play JCP from just after Starrcade because that Arn/Tully angle by Anderz was so good!!

I'm a die hard Dodger fan, and I believe I was writing that epilogue up on breaks and down moments of Scully's last home game. No way could I resist a nod to the greatest sports broadcaster of all time!

 

Mania was fantastic - I'll save my comments properly until after you've posted part 2 of the epilogue.

 

 

 

I think I should have the save still from the day after Starrcade if you want me to have a look around for it? (and TFC doesn't mind of course)

I've got no problem with it.

 

Wow, man.

 

I was waiting for you to finish up before giving out comments, but now that I've seen it, I'm practically speechless. That is the most summed up answer I can give to all of this, all of your universe. WrestleMania VI was everything we wanted and more, an ending to some stories but a beginning to others, just as it should be. Because professional wrestling never truly "ends", it's not a normal TV show that will have a series finale. There is always something new around the corner to try and keep the people watching.

 

And that's what you've done every time.

 

And nothing could have been bigger than Hulk Hogan joining the Family.

 

When I read the way Hogan's match ended against Piper, I kinda felt that you would be turning him heel, but who would have guessed that it would have been done in such grandiose fashion?

 

Thus closes probably one of the greatest dynasties that all EWR and TEW has ever seen written, and it couldn't have gone off any better.

 

Amazing job, TFC. Can't wait to see what brilliant production you bring us next.

Thanks a lot Beej! That was definitely my thought as well. Just because my story was ending didn't mean that everything should be wrapped up with a neat little bow.

 

The Hogan/Piper match had been in my plans for as long as I can remember; probably well before I got to WMIV. It was to be the crucial turning point that set up Hogan's big turn the following year. I didn't always know that he'd be wrestling Flair or joining the Family, but the heel turn was a long time coming.

 

This is probably one of the best dynasties I've ever read, it's up there with Nevermore's on again off again ECW: Worldwide. In fact I think you actually have taken over as number one. I am going to love going back an rereading this, as well as your ROH and short lived ROH in 94 dynasties while I wait your new project.

That was ROH in 1991 actually. And don't forget Let There Be War!

 

Wow! A hell of an ending, and a page turner of an epilogue!

 

This is by far the most well written, creative, enthralling TEW diary I have ever read. I will miss it!

 

Only regret is not staying ontop of making predictions. I scored very well at Mania, but didn't even have Rumble ones. I will try on your next one to keep on top! I want to be apart of a championship series in the future!

 

I wonder to what depths Bret Hart sank to get even with his brother? What steps Kane took to force a conflict with his? How long Sting's rise to the top would take, along with his rival Shawn Michaels. So many great moments. I will miss this greatly!

 

Thanks again!

Sting was going to beat Shawn in a big blowoff at SummerSlam (90), which would've led into the title feud with Flair I remarked on in the epilogue. The loose plan was for Sting finally win the title at WMVIII from Hogan. Hulk probably wouldn't have had it the whole year though; I think he'd have dropped it over the summer and won it back in November or December, probably against Piper as sort of a thank you run. Honestly though, I don't know if Sting's psychology would've made that plan feasible.

 

I have no idea how the UT/Kane feud would have played out, for one simple reason: it wouldn't have even happened yet. I only introduced Kane at WMVI because it seemed like a good way to close out the story (the pre-epilogue story at least.) If the diary had continued Kane probably wouldn't have shown his face for another year or two. I actually had a sort of idea that Jake Roberts would beat Undertaker at WMVII and thus convince him that he needed to return to his dark roots (aka align with Jake.) Eventually they'd be joined by a debuting Kane, and the three of them would carve a path of destruction through the WWF.

 

Oh, I meant to do this one last time at the end of the dynasty... STATS!

Yay stats! You just know that Hulk is seething that he's been knocked out of the top spot in winning percentage, brother!

 

By the way, you automated the save game and the Hogan vs Flair just came out or you only wrote it as epilogue?

I didn't advance any further than WMVI in the game. That was purely an epilogue to show what I had planned.

 

Wow you ended with a Hogan Heel Turn!? That was utterly amazing! Beautiful stuff man! I'm glad to have read this from start to finish. I've even shown people this dynasty over the years who don't even play TEW but they would read this because it was amazing.

Based on the stories I've heard, I'm probably too big a fan of wrestling to be someone the WWE would ever want on their writing staff.

 

(Also I can't see Vince ever stepping down. I think he'll continue to run the company until he passes.)

[Mootinie]

It dawned on me yesterday that just like real life, Kane debuted at the very first Hell in a Cell match. I may have missed that somebody had posted that previously but I just wanted to mention it because it's a really cool tidbit that I noticed. That and I miss this diary, come back to us soon TFC. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Aww man I was wanting to see you book Vinnie Vegas! Can't wait for your next dynasty but by all means recharge yourself! I like you was re inspired in wrestling by the "Summer of Punk"....or maybe the precursor leading to it. I would like to see a TFC version of WWE and maybe you can even rope Anderz into running TNA or NJPW when you need competition!
