Making Zack Ryder the biggest star of all-time sure is a big undertaking....

[Wheelz316]

Taking my created Australian Women's promotion to at least National.

[Remianen]

<p>Assuming it still exists, I'm going to take over QAW and run them to global.</p><p> </p><p>

Also, assuming they're still active, available, and decent to good (or better), my figurehead will be either Danielle Sweetheart, Alina America, Pamela Rojo, Charity Sweet, or Zoe Ammis. I want youth and talent as my figurehead and I'd prefer a 'QAW no Shinjutsu' type. Besides, I think Zoe won't be available (she'll probably be locked up on a written somewhere).</p><p> </p><p>

I'm really interested to see just how much harder International and Global levels were made.</p>

[smurphy1014]

My CVerse big project is going to be taking CZCW global (or at least try to). My figurehead will be (assuming he is still there ) Marc Speed.

[Alucidus]

<p>My project I think is going to be 1991 WCW. </p><p> </p><p>

At this point WCW is very much a cult fed who have quite a ways to go before even reaching National and not a lot of star power to do it with. Ric Flair (90 pop) and Sting (low-mid 80's) are at least 10 points above the next most popular worker and you have a lot of guys with 55-60 pop at the main event level. There a lot of room to grow and the difference between midcard and main eventer can be a match away.</p><p> </p><p>

My priority is always the youth movement. The nicest thing about the Jan 91 mod as WCW is that you have Owen Hart (during his brief run in WCW between the Blue Blazer and the New Foundation). Elevating him to the main event and possibly making him the figurehead of the company.(if my hand is forced and I feel I need a figurehead. Given a choice I don't believe in them). Beyond that, set up a D-League, hire all the usual suspects from the time period for the D-league.(Eddy, Austin, Benoit, Foley, a very young Rey, a very young Jericho). Hire Nick Bockwinkel and Bob Backlund to train in the D-League. Throw out a ton of tryout deals. Sign anybody who crushes their destiny roll to a developmental deal. Keep the guys I don't much care about on the WCW roster just long enough to feed their popularity to the guys I do like. </p><p> </p><p>

Of course, now I have to worry about my young guys developing personality problems if I push them too hard, too fast. </p><p> </p><p>

Other than that, the goal is National. I probably won't be able to catch the WWF unless I do what real-life WCW did and throw my wallet at their marquee guys. And I'm not going to do that. But creating a profitable, self sustaining brand around the wrestlers I like (and a few surprises, depending on destiny rolls) has always been the goal, and the switch from 13' to '16 isn't going to change that.</p><p> </p><p>

Oh, and do my best to salvage El Gigante. I want to see if it's possible for somebody with impossibly low base stats to become somebody who can actually contribute to the roster. The answer is probably 'no'. But I feel I have to try.</p>

He needs a LONG stint in developmental and even that probably won't be enough. </p><p> </p><p> It won't stop me from making a Gigante/Kurrgan tag team though.

[Winter8905]

<p>My Main C-verse game project will be CZCW, however, it'll depend on what their roster is like and if it's a bit bare of talent, what guys can I bring in. if it doesn't look good i'll start in WLW or MAW.</p><p> </p><p>

Idealy I want to Take CZCW to global but with roster a bit more rounded. keep the core element as exciting fast paced wrestling. But introduce a pure title that will be floating and be allowed to get as high as it wants.</p>

[mrwhippy]

I've never kept El Gigante on the roster past day 1 despite playing WCW several times. I feel that as a cult promotion racing to national before Flair jumps, I haven't got the time for that useless lump! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[combolock]

Talk about it enough and I bet somebody will pop in with a El Gigante multiple world champion with decent stats...

[mrwhippy]

<p>Enough of El Gigante!</p><p> </p><p>

My own big project will definitely be with the 91, 94 or 95 mod, I feel they play the best long term. </p><p> </p><p>

On TEW13 it was WCW with the 1991 mod: Sting was my (very) long term champion, maintaining 100 pop for periods of 12+ months. I hit National a week or so before Flair's contract came up so I managed to keep him but I'd planned to lose him. I therefore ran with a Loser Leaves Town in June 1991 and kept him off TV until Starrcade where he stepped in as a mystery opponent for Sting replacing an injured Vader (kayfabe, as it was my plan all along, but I had built Vader to 90+ pop so was a bit sad) and recapture his title, albeit briefly. Sting then carried on as champion for the next 4 years or so, with hot intermittent reigns for Vader and a one night reign for a certain Scotty Flamingo who absolutely exploded in popularity despite primarily being a manager/commentator and occasional wrestler during his early days. Early 1995 brought about a heel turn for Sting who began a ruthless dominant streak before finally passing the torch to Steve Austin at Starrcade. Sting had one more short reign before swapping the World title picture to become the flagbearer of the US title - leaving the newer generation of Austin, Brian Pillman, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner, Flamingo and a still dominant Vader to battle over the Big Gold Belt. I haven't played that particular save for a while but the last I remember it's somewhere in late 1997 with Steiner as champion, Owen Hart as US champ (or maybe Eddie Guerrero) and a young Dwayne Johnson being built fairly slowly in his first TV title reign.</p><p> </p><p>

Currently I'm enjoying a WWF save in the 1994 mod. Shawn Michaels is leading a BULLET CLUB type stable involving Brian Lee, Brian Adams, Bryan Clark, Art Barr and Eddie Guerrero in a chase for Bret's title. However, Scott Steiner is HOT and I may have to transition the belt to him instead at the coming WrestleMania. The initial plan was Vader as he gets the best ratings but at close to 40 years old I don't want to commit to him long term so I went with the BULLET CLUB-like storyline to get to the Shawn era from the Bret era.</p><p> </p><p>

I'll definitely try and emulate one of the above on TEW16 in addition to something fresh for me (WWF late 80s or early 90s, and something with NJPW) and a couple of mess around saves pushing El Gigante or jobbing Hogan through the 80s, as well as finally getting to know the CVerse properly.</p>

[LordofGustav]

<p>I forgot to tell my plan while playing WWF in 1983.</p><p> </p><p>

Barry Windham will become a "Real American", while David Von Erich after being a Second Generation Star, he will become a Turncoat, an East Germany symphatizer, a take on Fritz Von Erich's days as an Evil German.</p>

[Winter8905]

Captain2 Wasn't criticizing your booking you went with what was thrown at you. I was on about my booking in my various 1987 saves. Bret ended up champion within a couple years.

[Fleisch]

Releasing Real World Chronicles will be my main project.

[Kluge]

<p>I'm hoping to turn Outlaw Wes Revell into a big deal for SWF barring a low destiny roll. Otherwise Ragnar The Viking, El Mítico Jr, Bradley Blaze, and Ernest Youngman are the other guys I'm excited to sign and develop into stars.</p><p> </p><p>

My Figurehead is going to more than likely be Jack Bruce to start with Valiant (or in a perfect world the star that Robbie Retro has become in my current SWF game) waiting in the wings.</p>

[jpnator]

<p>I've been thinking about it for awhile now but I'll create another TV Show (maybe streaming, maybe network style, maybe real TV, dunno yet) with 8 wrestlers and make an annual or one-off super-8 style round robin tournament with the final matches being on a special PPV event or added to be biggest show of the year. I am going to have somekind of qualifiers matches on the regular TV Show too. I am planning to do it either in the C-Verse with probably TCW or in a modern WWE. </p><p>

Looking forward to play with the new settings !</p>

[Lex Star]

Can't wait to try and turn Matty Faith into my company's figurehead and have it actually work.

[Tman2135]

I'm actually looking to create a fictional territory but start with one of the mid-80s real world mods. In looking at the NWA territory map on Wikipedia I saw that no one had really spoken for Nevada, Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, so my fictional territory will stick to those states.

 

Being able to broadcast events on tv allows me to use my regular tv show to promote a bigger televised event once a month (sort of like what SMW was doing) and then (thanks to alliance titles) possibly bring in the NWA champ or the NWA tag champs along with some other "attraction" talent for the big shows.

 

My goal is to stay solvent and produce good wrestling at the local level, not looking to really expand to the national level.

[Mitsunari]

Really looking forward to playing WCW in 2000. Going to be alot of fun trying to change the fortunes of WCW with the new changes to the backstage stuff as the lockroom rating is pretty low to beign with along with the upgrades to the national battle system.
