Alan James Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I couldn't go through with Mankind as champion in 1996. It didn't feel right. Vader is on decline, but not declined enough to not be my world champion. No Shawn around either. Only problem I have now is getting a face to go up against Vader.

Andrew2436 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 <p>Recently began a WWF 94 game and its proving to be a challenge. As if my roster wasn't dull and full of dinosaurs, my top guys and those with potential are on substances and the backstage morale is at 1%. Managed to snag Bulldog and Vader for my main event so its a start.</p><p> </p><p> I've opened up a developmental company and signed a lot of brilliant workers including: Jericho, Benoit, Cactus, Shane Douglas, Eddie, Taz, Steve Williams, Mike Awesome, Malenko, Pillman etc. Packed roster. Might have to bring up these guys sooner than I imagined to fill the void.</p><p> </p><p> Also started implementing monthly PPVs and changing gimmicks. Johnny Polo, Crush, Adam Bomb, Jarrett and Sparky Plugg are receiving new gimmicks to rid the WWF of cartoony gimmicks and put "The New Generation" to good use. Hopefully I can make stars out of these guys to begin with. Its gonna be fun.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Kohral Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 <p>October 2018 in my NYCW game.</p><p> </p><p> Ross Henry is my NYCW Empire Champion. He's held the belt for more than a year and has been running a program with Andrew "Break the F'N Tables" Harper for the past 6 months which has been going fantastic and has really been helping us stay competitive in our Regional war with PSW. I'm slowly (VERY slowly thanks to this war I was forced into) building pop in the tri-state and turning a profit of 3K a month. Money management in this game is much better than 2013 and I have to think strategically. </p><p> </p><p> The Ring Generals are COTT champs, as they should be. Geoff Borne is about to lose the Tri-State Regional belt to Syd Collier, a former MAW champion who for whatever reason MAW released last month. Very excited for him. Poor Geoff Borne, always a transitional champion.</p><p> </p><p> Otherwise, I kept most of the roster intact, trying to retain NYCW's charm. Brooklyn's Finest are finally NYCW Tag Team champions and I'm getting ready to split the Southern Stars. Probably turning Tennessee Williams heel and giving him a Jeff Jarrett "Chosen One" gimmick.</p><p> </p><p> I feel horrible that Steve Flash is drifiting down the card, but he's getting worse and worse. I want him to retire to open his spot up and so I can move him to a road agent position. He's a great locker room leader.</p><p> </p><p> Great game.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan James Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 <p>Roster so depleted, I've stopped doing 1ppv a month and I love booking ppvs. </p><p> </p><p> I think it is better to just do a longer build to kotr. Ultimate Warrior will be my number one contender to challenge Vader, but who knows if he will even be around by the time we get to kotr. He is not happy and I'm expecting him to ask for release. Hoping he wont, or else..... Ahmed Johnson will fill the number one contender void. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Help me.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Kohral Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 <p>Annnnnd Nov 2018, 21CW just closed up.</p><p> </p><p> I notice that this game is REALLY realistic in that if other promotion's finances aren't in order, they'll close. I've had a lot of companies close so far. PGHW, GCG and BCG both got bought by BHOTWG. TCW is in constant danger. WINNOW closed. ACPW closed.</p><p> </p><p> MAW WAS TAKEN OVER BY USPW and disbanded in Oct. 1018 and I didn't realize it until right now!

brat99 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 <p>Running somewhat of a test save with USPW. Signed everyone's obvious signings for USPW so far in Peter Michaels and Marat Khoklov and have yet to lose a national battle even though I'm just holding steady in pop. Using this as a little experiment for an idea I had though and signed Marc Dubois and Remmy Skye. I immediately did a comprehensive drug test on both and shipped them both to rehab (Dubois 7 months, and Skye around 3 months). Both reacted well to going to rehab, and I'm hoping at the end of it, I end up with a couple more pretty talented workers.</p><p> </p><p> UPDATE: Rehab did no good for Remmy Skye....failed his first drug test after coming back.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudo_Nym Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Done by the AI, but in my game, USPW just fired Alicia Strong. Two days later, they hire J-Ro. Conspiracy confirmed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marsupial311 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 CV97 RTG game. First day of March 2001, BHOTWG fired 71(!!!) people today, many of them for steriods/pain killer abuse. Their current roster is down to 71 people (They went buyout crazy and are the only company above small in Japan but geez) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sons of Kohral Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 <p>Midway through 2019 in my NYCW game.</p><p> </p><p> The territories were shattered by the loss of <strong>Mid Atlantic Wrestling</strong>, but with the additions of <strong>L-Ring</strong> and <strong>Queens of America Wrestling</strong>, the future looks bright.</p><p> </p><p> Andrew "Table Breaker" Harper is going on a tear after shocking defeating "Sure Bet" Ross Henry for the NYCW Empire Championship in late 2018. His reign of destruction, aided by his main squeeze Fern Hathaway have seen many members of the NYCW roster left in a rubble pile. He now defends the belt solely in tables matches and it looks like no one can stop him. He is currently fueding with Risk Deson (Jack Avatar) but always seems to get the upperhand in every tables match. Risk knows he can beat him straight up 1 on 1, but the "Table Breaker" is just too specialized in his particular match. </p><p> </p><p> Meanwhile "Sure Bet" Ross Henry has been tempted to the darkside by the "Lord of Darkness" Aldous Blackfriar. The Dark Lord has held the "Sure Bet's" loss to Harper over his head and the two are coming to a head very soon. An uneasy alliance between Risk Deson and Ross Henry has formed and the two have been seen teaming up as Risk & Ross around the territories leading to speculation that they may try their hands in the tag division.</p><p> </p><p> The Southern Stars have finally exploded. "Chosen One Tennessee William has turned on his partner Animal Harker after losing yet another tag team championship match. The Chosen One now brings a guitar to the ring and isn't afraid to use it. But that's OK, because "The Animal" isn't afraid to get gritty and a no holds barred hardcore match has been slated for them at NYCW Gang Wars.</p><p> </p><p> In the tag team division, "#DemBoys" The Good Ol' Boys have solidified their spot as the team to beat. With The Ring Generals chasing the COTT Tag Team Titles, #DemBoys have defeated the Southern Stars, Brooklyn's Finest and Cyber Squad (two japanese workers I got cheap and threw into an enhancement team). There seems to be no stopping these two wild men from the south, but the ever present danger of a Risk & Ross super team mixed with the constant threat of 7 time champions The Ring Generals casting their eyes back domestically looms ever closer...</p><p> </p><p> Former MAW golden boy, Syd Collier has been running roughshod over the midcard after winning the Tri-State Regional belt. It's rumored that Brooklyn's Finest want to take a crack at the reigning champion to try and earn a name for themselves in the singles division, but whether they can unseat the champion has yet to be proven. Meanwhile, rumors abound that former CGC Canadian champion "Pretty Boy" Ozzie Golden is close to signing and can prove to be Collier first real challenger to the throne.</p><p> </p><p> ---</p><p> </p><p> This is a really fun game and actually the longest I've ever played with NYCW, my favorite promotion. I've tried to keep as much of the original roster as possible and stay true to the vision. Steve Flash unfortunately sufffered a major concussion a few months back and is out for a year and I don't expect him to ever step foot inside the ring again. Also, Honest Frank's skills are dwindling so severe that I think it's time to shift him into a managerial role. Maybe as a Shane Sneer type faction leader of giants... time to find some giants.</p><p> </p><p> I'm super proud of Andrew Harper. He's gotten over nicely and he's fun to book. He's a guy who in 2013, always got lost in the midcard, but he started putting together great performances with almost anyone I thew in with him, so I gave him a chance and he really ran with it. My first real success story and I'm hesitant to put the belt back on Ross, even though he stlll gets the higher rating. Maybe I'll turn him and that'll be the Honest Frank faction, a la Jerry McGuire or a sports version of Ari Gold.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grfcboy95 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 <p>So, biggest PPV of the year for USPW, Rich Money beat Nicky Champion, primed for a huge heel run with the belt, day after, he makes homophobic remarks and becomes toxic! As my champion. now i'm going to have Champion beat him on TV for the belt again and terminate his contract, which really hurts me at the top, and in the national battle!</p><p> EDIT: If i were to send him down to developmental, to work there, would that still hurt my promotion? I dont really want to let his contract go in all honesty.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain2 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 <p>My game is going well I hope. Christian Cage has secured a victory over Jeff Jarrett for the NWA world Heavyweight championship which puts him into 89 popularity. Up from 65 two months ago when he debuted. Meanwhile I've signed Hulk Hogan who has finally decided he's not too good for us. He lost his debut match to Abyss who will go on to challenge Christian at the next pay per view.</p><p> </p><p> Christopher Daniels and Jeff Jarrett have joined forces to take down a team of Hogan and Sting. Daniels and Jarrett have told the veterans that they're not welcome and that it's time for the current crop to kick them off the top of the mountain.</p><p> </p><p> Also in CHIKARA, The Beautiful People beat the Young Bucks in a tag team match.

merrykieran2 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 <p>Well my WWE RW save was going so well with Roman Reigns dropping title to Dolph Ziggler first night after Wrestlemania and at Payback, Dolph retained in an 89 against Reigns, then at ER he defeated Brock Lesnar in another 89 before at King Of The Ring Dolph beat Brock once again in a steel cage match after Heyman turned on Brock and sided with Dolph but this match got a 77. WTF. Dolph has pop in the 90's as does Brock so i don't know why this did so badly.</p><p> </p><p> As a side note, in 3 months i've improved Tyler Breeze's popularity from 50's to 70's by giving him the new TV Title. Gave him the push he deserves.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lghikas Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I have only notice this with a few people that have strong entertainment skills but everyone I used seems to has done an excellent job at not going off a script...Eric Eisen..Bruce...Gilmore...Chase and even Brett Starr. It definitely seems more consistent at the least than 13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jomosensual Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 I had the Tsunami hit Japan a couple months ago and first signs are starting to show. PGHW just released 4-5 people.

Koholos Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 <p>Playing MAW, I lost Greg Gauge after about 6 months- the day after a match between him and Matt Keith which got a 46. Ironically, it was part of a series of career-on-the-line matches that I had originally planned to allow me to bury Trix Triumph (who is backroom poison) and fire him, while giving a bunch of my ME's free wins. </p><p> </p><p> Instead, Trix gained about 15 points of popularity, Cheetah Boy dropped to UM, Greg and Matt had the best match of my game, and it made BHOTWG hire Greg. The only person I lost was the one I most needed. I had serious plans around him turning heel and eventually leading to Matt turning face, so now I'm a bit stuck</p><p> </p><p> Gonna move on to larger pastures for now.</p><p> </p><p> On the one hand, I love MAW for learning who's who. On the other hand , their mission statement can be heartbreaking when you lose half your talent.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SauceManFresh Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 <p>Finally got around to booking The World is Watching in my SWF save, and I overbooked the crap out of it and got a B-, not terrible but I really wanted an A. I got indecisive on which storylines to end and ended up keeping most of them.</p><p> </p><p> Biggest news came two days after the PPV. Two contracts came up for renewal. Mikey Lau who after the PPV is a bonafide main eventer and NICKY CHAMPION!!</p><p> </p><p> SWF, TCW, NOTBPW, and USPW engaged in a huge bidding war for Champion and Eisen even let me open up the checkbook to try to sign him. In the end we lost out to a 72k a month contract from SOTBPW, who came in with huge money at the end just as it seemed that I had him wrapped up. He could have been a huge hire, but in the end he's out of USPW, who has been stuck at cult since Feb.</p><p> </p><p> I had to go crazy to re-sign Lau but he's a big part of my company plans for the next few years so I made sure I kept him. He's going to have a very similar run to Daniel Bryan in real life. May even wait until Supreme Challenge 40 to give him his big win. </p><p> </p><p> Decided to do a lite roster split to call up some of my dev guys. Once I get my midcard built up, I may look at a full 3 way brand split, think 02-04 Raw and Smackdown, stars on raw, workers on smackdown. And will use Uprising as my NXT that I can book.</p><p> </p><p> Everest won his lawsuit against us and we had to pay him $303,000. Worth it.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
