WCW Saturday Night: Not Ready for Prime Time

[alvarasus]

 

This going to be use to give me a break from WarGames. Right now WCW has no PPV deals in place. This pretty much is horrible roster though we do have a Developmental territory that has a lot promising stars waiting in the wings. It' s getting WCW running right that is going to be the problem.

nice start!

Fun start, I didn't think Dustin would pull off a victory like that, but glad to see it happen.

 

It sounds like you're using this WCW'01 the same way I do, as something fun to balance out the bigger project.

Yes sir I am trying to not get burned out on WarGames. The plan with this one is take all young guys and incorporate them into WCW. I am going to have to do a lot of reading and watching youtube to see how some of these guys acted in real life.

 

Well Dustin Rhodes and Rob Van Dam are my two youngest Main Eventers. So building a company around both of them is not really a bad idea. Plus if you want to go traditional Dustin Rhodes is tradition. Tag Team Division is totally trashed. I might be bringing Ring of Honor and TNA to WCW a little earlier just to fix it.

[alvarasus]

nice start!

 

Thank you glad your reading

Actually, Genadi kinda messed a few things up on this mod. I did my research, and since this is meant to be a continuation of WCW, he screwed up a bunch of face/heel sides. The biggest one being O'Haire and Palumbo should be faces. When WCW died, they were feuding with Team Canada. I also had to add a HUGE amount of tag teams just to feel as though the mod is playable. I literally opened TEW'10 with the Jan2001 editor right next to TEW13 with WCW Lives editor and just went through adding all the teams I didn't see already listed.

 

However, it does make for quite the curveball thrown at the player when they start the game, if they're like you and I and intend to rebuild the tag division some. Of course in my game they came up as being way too soon to just turn them face.

 

I do love how instead of Nitro, you brought back Saturday Night. I nearly did that myself, but I found a decent enough deal on SciFi that put Nitro on the air.

Damn it I never tried SciFi I got stuck with F/X. That deal is crappy as all can be. Well it is a show not competing with the WWF. So WWF can't kill me in the ratings. I think .50 RATING IS GOING TO ME KICKED OFF THE NETWORK THOUGH.

FX is more realistic to WCW, as I understand Bischoff was trying to get on the Fox network IRL. But I tested with SciFi or Bravo, hoping my game can lead me up to the USA network and perhaps even NBC itself in the distant future.

SATURDAY WEEK 2 JUNE 2001

 

Jim Solie: Fans welcome to WCW Saturday Night. Last week we saw Rob Van Dam become WCW United States Champion. He will be defending his title tonight against a young man named "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. Plus new WCW World Heavyweight Champion Dustin Rhodes will defend his newly won title against Kanyon.

 

John Cornell: Dustin Rhodes becoming WCW World Champion shocked the world last week and made me totally sick. An Rhodes Jim is now the man here in WCW that is disgusting.

 

Jim Solie: I think it is the best thing for WCW. Booker T was great Champion don't get me wrong, but Dustin has lot of history here in WCW and I am glad that he won the WCW World Title.

 

John Cornell: Best thing for WCW? Really Jim the guy was Goldust for christsakes.

 

Jim Solie: We argue this point all night. Let's get the show on the road.

 

Christopher Daniels: When a normal athlete joins a new promotion in professional wrestling. He is expected to climb the ranks. Well Gregory Helms I am not a normal athlete tonight I am going to become the WCW Cruiserweight Champion. Rating 26

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Christopher Daniels defeated Gregory Helms in 7:45 by pinfall with a Last Rites. Christopher Daniels wins the WCW Cruiserweight title. Rating 49

 

Jim Solie: Fans the Fallen Angel has shocked the wrestling world and has became the WCW Cruiserweight Champion. This guy just debuted last week and now he is WCW Cruiserweight Champion that is shocking.

 

John Cornell: See that your fault for not doing research. This man Christopher Daniels is no rookie. He has been a star in independent circuit for years. Now WCW is finally giving this man an platform to show what he can do and he just showed what he can do in a great match.

 

Dustin Rhodes: Jeff Jarrett, Booker T, Shane Douglas, and everyone else in the back. Last week I became what I always wanted to be. I became WCW World Heavyweight Champion. I could of left WCW and got back in wearing an wig and painting my face. Take a look in the back one of these days. The Four Horsemen and my father Dusty Rhodes have settled their differences to take WCW back from the brink of ruin. I am tradition.. The Four Horsemen are tradition... Dusty Rhodes is tradition.. and finally WCW is tradition and we are going to bring back WCW to top of the world once again. Rating 72

 

Jim Solie: Strong words form WCW World Champion Dustin Rhodes. Wanting to bring tradition back to WCW.

 

John Cornell: I think he is a flash in pan like Tommy Rich was.

 

Jim Solie: He already surpassed Tommy Rich's four day reign John. Let's get to our next match Rob Van Dam battling the young Bryan Danielson will we see upset like we did earlier?

 

John Cornell: Rob Van Dam is going to win this one with ease.

Shane Douglas: Booker T your standing in my way of becoming the Franchise of WCW. Because when I am through with you, I am going to come after you Dustin Rhodes. Rating 69

 

Jim Solie: It seems everybody wants to be the WCW World Heavyweight Champion here in WCW.

 

John Cornell: The Franchise Shane Douglas would be a better champion than Dirty Rhodes will ever be.

 

Jim Solie: Let's get to our next match will be the WCW World Tag Team Champions going against Sting and Lex Luger.

Sting & Lex Luger vs Mark Jindrak & Sean O' Haire © w/ Ric Flair

Booker T vs Shane Douglas

In a match that had some good action and average heat, Booker T defeated Shane Douglas in 15:01 by pinfall with a Harlem Hangover. Rating 82

 

Jim Solie: That was a great performance by two of the best wrestlers in WCW.

 

John Cornell: Agree that was by far the best match of the night.

 

Ric Flair: Dustin Rhodes!! Dustin Rhodes!!! How dare you speak of The Four Horsemen!! You were never man enough to be a Horsemen. If your still the Champ after Kanyon gets his hands on tonight than your going to have to face this man Jeff Jarrett.

 

Jeff Jarrett: Goldustin you better learn one thing when you speak about tradition My family has been in this business a lot longer than you. My destiny is to become WCW World Champion and take this company and bring honor and tradition back to it. Rating 59

 

Jim Solie: I am excited John because we about to see WCW World Heavyweight Champion Dustin Rhodes make his first title defense right here.

 

John Cornell: The challenger Kanyon is about to make his way to the ring.

I think if I play this for about five years in game I can get WCW international. Well back to work on Wargames.

nice show.
