What's going on in your game?

I've not had the "share wisdom" note all that much. Does it visibly increase any stats?

My main hirings were these: AJ Styles(stolen from WWE) Dave Bautista(No bidding war whatsoever) Kurt Angle(Bidding war with the WWE) Cody Rhodes(no bidding war) Bobby Roode(NJPW and WWE made quite weak offers) Rey Mysterio(Jr.[WWE made a crappy offer]) I'm also trying to steal Roman Reigns,since his mic skills are good on this mod(RWC) and he is popular enough to do B- or B matches(Since TNA is Pop>perf) EDIT:Forgot to mention that IMPACT! is now being broadcast on the USA Network,because POP sucks.

Triple H just quit the WWF in early 1998 after picking fights with Bradshaw, then getting the hell beaten out of him, multiple times.

Well crap, Marie Punnen broke her neck working in Japan. She was a pretty reliable brawler that was only getting better and now she's on the shelf for a year.

edit: Steve DeColt just took David Stone as a protege, we have truly entered the future of Canadian wrestling.

Quick question for you guys - I know this isn't really the right thread for it, but I didn't think it was thread worthy - but I was wondering if booking workers on a live pre-show would appease any left of a PPV card? (For example, if you were booking the WWF in 1999 and featured a tag match between two midcard teams on Sunday Night Heat, would they still be annoyed at being left off the Wrestlemania card?)

I'm asking as I'm going to purchase the game and was intending to play as WCW in 1997/98. They have a huge roster, but I already have storyline ideas for guys in the midcard that just couldn't fit into PPV cards unless I run watered down 15 match cards. Bur if putting them on a live pre-show helps, I'd run PPVs on Saturday and make Saturday Night a live broadcast...

mrwhippy · June 28, 2016

Well in the game Heat doesn't act as a "pre-show" but rather its own show so yes they would be annoyed in this instance. However, every show can have an actual pre-show or post-show anyway and booking someone on this does appease them.

Alan James · June 28, 2016

I left the NWA and created another alliance with NJPW and AJPW. The creatively named, World Wrestling Alliance. This was my way of creating another world title. Ric Flair became the first champion, beating Misawa in a 88 match. Flair has been loaned out to AJPW twice, beating Misawa both times to retain the title.

I'm going to turn Flair face in the next 5 months. He might help out Becky Lynch, or maybe even Sting! Yes, Sting had Luger turn on him to set up their WCW world title match at Beach Blast. I might have said this earlier. Any way, it is happening at my current event. Next match. I had to stop here and post this because it is the best match I've had so far.

The Chris Jericho note. Before Flair turns, there will be a new fourth Horseman. Sid was kicked out. Jericho was wearing a mask when he did the run in. Flair is going to pretend he doesn't know who it is. In the mean time, Jericho will stay in development.

Cactus Jack and Norman the Lunatic had a surprisingly good 71 at Beach Blast. Terry Funk came out to save the day, following interference from Kevin Sullivan. Going to do a tag team match next.

Speaking of tag match, Ron Simmons turned about 9 people against Rick Steiner due to a Steiner botch. I have no time for that. Adios Ron, your face turn and single push have been rejected. Teddy Long needs somebody to manage now. Thinking about the Samaon Swat Team.

Madusa has been put with Luger. I'm kind of doing the Narcissist gimmick, but more exciting. It started average and the last 2 appearances have said he is getting better at it. Really not sure why I have Lex Luger as world champion. Never had any real love for him, but it just seemed to make sense. If he can pull this off and get good ratings then fair enough.

Lex Luger has the magic elbow. Before his turn, he always had a pad over it. Now that he is the Narcissist, he doesn't care. The pad removal against Sting will be off screen, it wont be mentioned at the time. Sting will be knocked out. Sting knows about the elbow, but he doesn't make any excuses because he is a hero. It will be up to my authority figure to do something about this.

Rick Rude and Ricky Steamboat had their lowest yet with 87. Not that it is anything to cry about. I think that will be the final match. Rude finally got the win to regain the US title.

LigerLiger · June 28, 2016

I stole Roman Reigns from WWE,in his last day of contract there he dropped the belt to Ziggler @Night of Champions.

In his first day in TNA he emailed me saying that DJ Zema Ion is too small and I should replace him.

The fact is,two months ago Kurt Angle told me the same thing and I made DJZ bust his wazoo in the gym to become a lightweight.No results yet,but he might grow soon.

Should I hear Angle or stick to 'ol Joe(Anoa'i)?

EDIT:AJ Styles sent me an e-mail saying DJZ is Charismatic and that he see him doing well in the future.I think a TNA Legend like Styles is more trustworthy than Vince's golden boy.Just sayin'

Slagaholic · June 29, 2016

A few updates with a helluva question...

Using the spectacular Rising Storms 1991 mod I created the NWA in 1991 basically with the idea that the NWA kicked WCW out before they could leave. After holding a 32 man tournament to determine the first NWA Champion whilst also creating storylines to go on throughout the post tournament shows, and the first NWA champion is Rick Rude. Rude, Paul Orndorff, and Tully Blanchard declared themselves the Magnificent Ones a take off of the Four Horsemen, the question remained, who was the fourth man? In the main event of our first PPV: NWA The Ecstacy of Gold the fourth man was revealed. Michael Wallstreet, the financier. Not to blow my own horn but it was some of my best booking ever as I found a way to create tournaments for 5 different titles (NWA World Heavyweight, United States, Television, Tag Team and Junior Heavyweight titles too many available to not create a division) whilst creating and maintaining feuds both in and out of the title picture.

Just held my second PPV which I called The Last Chance Saloon and it was basically my version of Backlash with TEoG being this years and the long term season finale. I did not expect it since it was mostly rematches from the last PPV and television but it was the best show NWA has put on yet. The biggest shock was Steve Williams and Terry Gordy vs Cactus Jack and Bill Irwin (I call them Truth or Consequences) getting a B+ rating! I'm a huge Mick Foley mark from my youth so I'm so excited to see him pulling ratings like this out in a give 'Gordy and Williams something to do while the Rock 'n Roll Express feud with Orndorff and Blanchard over the Tag Titles storyline.' It's been going so well that I can allow this feud to continue and have the RnRXpress and Magnificent Ones continue to feud for a few more months while I see how far Williams and Gordy and Irwin can lift Cactus.

The only question now is who will challenge Rude for his NWA World Heavyweight Championship now that I've pretty much exhausted Ricky Steamboat for now. Bam Bam Bigelow whom has been feuding with Steven Regal and his Royal Guard Axl Rotten and One Man Gang? Do I put the tag champions the Rock n' Roll Express in a feud with Rude, continuing their feud with the other members of The Magnificent Ones? Do I end the amazing Violence Connection - Truth or Consequences feud that was supposed to build Steve Williams into this spot but now their match and segment ratings have been so awesome that I'm afraid to end it so soon? Do I hotshot an upper midcard face Matt Bourne in the #1 contenders role? Do I finagle a way to get Ricky Steamboat a third match for the NWA World Heavyweight Title? Do I sign a free agent and bring someone in on a short term deal (possible babyfaces opponents include: Andre The Giant, Jerry Lawler, Bob Backlund, Sid, Stan Hansen, Terry Funk, Tito Santana, and Wahoo McDaniel)? Other than that, essentially the rest of the year is pretty well planned out. As I write this I'm leaning towards Terry Funk but if and when I bring him in I want him as a heel and not a babyface, same with Lawler. Andre the Giant is not a main event talent but rather a midcard attraction at this point. Sid? Maybe? Sid and Steamboat seems like either the best combination ever or the worst ever. I'm not sure...Why didn't I have a backup plan for my top title?

Only I would have the mid and lower card planned out long term but not the top title in the company, ha!

No one has to answer these questions as I am drunk right now and I'm sure I'll figure something out the next time I open the game. But boy what a corner I've booked myself into, but I love it

mrwhippy · June 29, 2016

Can't wait to get my teeth stuck into a proper NJPW/WCW alliance after reading the last few posts!

LigerLiger · June 29, 2016

I held a "super IMPACT!" featuring Kurt Angle,AJ Styles,Joe Anoa'i,Bobby Roode,The Hardys(side note:Jeff Hardy will tour with his band) and EC3 representing TNA and Kazuchika Okada,Tetsuya Naito,Hiroshi Tanahashi,Jushin "Thunder" Liger,Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks representing NJPW

The card was the following.

ME:Kurt Angle def Tetsuya Naito - Champion vs Champion(Pinfall after an Angle Slam)

Co-ME:Hiroshi Tanahashi def AJ Styles(Pinfall after a Dragon Suplex)

Kazuchika Okada def EC3(Pinfall after a German Suplex)

Jushin Liger def Joe Anoa'i(Pinfall after a Liger Bomb)

The Hardys def The Young Bucks(Pinfall after a "We don't want to lose"[DAMN YOU EGO]{it was actually a Twist of Fate&Swanton Bomb combo})

Bobby Roode def Kenny Omega(DQ after Young Bucks Interference)

michael20001 · June 29, 2016

Ah how this game loves to screw with me..

First the violence issues backstage leading to HHH quitting, then my only "Next Big Thing" Goldust will spend 6 months in Rehab in the hopes that i can turn him around, then HBK coming so close to quitting after HHH left and Chyna got sent to rehab too. No tag team (except one i will mention shortly) can gain enough traction to break into the league of LOD and the New Age Outlaws. Now let me tell you a story about someone who i thought could be a surprise hit, but crushed my dreams.. or at least put them on hold.

One of my goals from Vince was to push Thrasher, and push him hard. up to 60 popularity from his current 35. In two months i managed to get him up to 48 by pushing The Headbangers hard, i thought i could manage it by making them a solid addition to the tag division as i never really had any love for them in real life. But i notice Thrasher pulling off some pretty good singles matches on my minor shows, decide to give him a match with Shawn Michaels on RAW to see if maybe, just maybe, he was worth a singles run in the future. I was very pleasantly surprised to see the match get an 89. Even against HBK an 89 is pretty damn good for an average midcard tag team wrestler. I was less pleasently surprised when i saw that Thrasher had broken his leg in that same match..

Much like Marc Mero's viral infection that is keeping him out for 2 months (and Wrestlemania) it seems that Vince's favourites are cursed, i can only hope that Vader, who will be (i hope) in world title contention by the end of the year, isn't the 3rd and final victim of this curse..

Alan James · June 29, 2016

I can't believe I was 8 months in and only realized what my Starrcade main event will be. Yes, I was thinking of TEW when I was out walking with my dog. Halloween Havoc will be Flair vs Vader (WWA heavyweight title) Starrcade will be Vader vs Sting (WWA heavweight) Vader beat Sting at Wrestle War (August ppv) and put Sting out for a while. Basically, Sting is in the Hulk Hogan role, in a hospital bed, cards from the stingers everywhere, although, you better believe Sting sold that powerbomb. haha I was thinking of Sting taking the powerbomb , then getting up and doing his old scream, before falling down again out cold. Vader would react like Hogan was reacting to the Shawn overselling at Summerslam 2005. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I did live through both of the Vader feuds. Hogan at his typical worst and I'm a Hulkamaniac for life, Jack. Not selling the powerbomb. why? Just Hogan being Hogan, but he sold many times, he was a great seller. Guess by then, he was the new WCW top gun and he made the rules, brother. Rant over. Sorry. Sting is my franchise even though he is now significantly overshadowed in some areas. When he started as Figurehead in January, he was pretty much the perfect figurehead. I'm happy others have started to catch up. No plans to remove him. I've never went the full year yet with a figurehead. In my Risky Business game, Hogan is 10 months or so in. Brian Pillman defeated Dean Malenko in the first ever ladder match, at Wrestle War. This was the conclusion of their feud over the light heavyweight title. Pillman won both of their 1v1matches and a three way. Malenko will be back later on. Next contender will be Sean Lightning (Waltman), DDP took him under his wing and is saying this is the future of the light heavyweight division. Ultimo Dragon and Black Tiger would disagree. Going to do Tiger vs Malenko next. Malenko in rage at his loss, does the old attack first person he sees, and that person is Black Tiger. Happy with the light heavyweight division progress, although it is not the hardest thing in the world when you have such talent. Bobby Eaton has not been turned into a jobber and he is also a viable contender. York Foundation are getting some love. Bobby is now part of the group. There will be no Richard Morton in my world, but I was putting people in my hall of fame and I saw Rock N Roll Express. Obviously, not the same caliber they were back in the 80s, but still good enough. They will be brought in soon to go against Anderson and Blanchard. Random good rating. Proving that class is permanent. Anderson and Blanchard beat Dustin Rhodes and Stan Hansen. It got 92. Totally out of the blue. Dustin is still getting ganged up on, so Stan was the man chosen to help. Their first match together! I was looking for a main event for Saturday and I put them together. When I think about it, tag team matches don't usually close and non ppv tag matches don't get the time I gave this. 23 minutes. I lost Dusty on a clerical error. I ''forgot'' to renew his contract. Sorry Dusty, I don't like people that turn a whole locker room against somebody. Ron did it and got fired, I could not fire Dusty because he has so many positive relationships, so I let his contract run out. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Rone Rivendale" data-cite="Rone Rivendale" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41174" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Oh right, now I feel dumb.

Shawn Michaels © vs. The Undertaker vs. Kane vs. Vader

Eidenhoek · June 30, 2016

Aside from my awesome diary *cough*notThatAwesome*cough*, I have a USPW game where I made an OmniTiny Subscription network for TV.

And I have an SOTBPW game on the burner.

michael20001 · June 30, 2016

Despite losing my one of my biggest stars and a rising star in D-X, Wrestlemania 15 was very successful.

Mark Henry & Mankind def. Farooq & Kama Mustafa (Allies of Vader vs the Nation, was supposed to be 2 vs 3 but D'Lo got hit with a back injury)

Jeff Jarrett def. Ahmed Johnson

New Age Outlaws def. Legion of Doom to retain tag titles

Undertaker def. Kane in a Casket Match

Vader def. The Rock for the Intercontinental Championship

Bradshaw def. William Regal, Mosh & Steve Blackman in a 4 Way to retain the Euro Championship

Owen Hart def. Steve Austin to win the WWF Championship. (Was originally supposed to be Hart vs HBK with Austin vs HHH as a co-main event, but i think in the end this was better, Austin is my biggest star after all)

Alan James · June 30, 2016

Wrestle War 1991 is in the books..

Quite lucky that I changed my mind at the last second. I had the Flair vs Muta rematch and Luger vs Sid as main and co. Yes, Luger defending WCW title against Sid. Being really lazy with Luger, that tells me all I need to know.

Anyway, Flair and Muta got another 95 with a 30 minute iron man draw in the main event. This time, Jericho came out again and did reveal himself. No mask. He is now the fourth Horseman.

Have to think I can get even closer to 100 if I ever do a clean finish with them. I'm annoyed because I've seen two articles with WWF putting on match of the year quality matches with 100. Piper vs Dibiase and Savage beating Hogan. Yes, Hogan losing to Savage. Pretty amazing. At least I know deep down, Dave Meltzer will have Flair vs Muta as match of the year, or if not, certainly the best matches to happen in the United States.

Flair and Muta is finished for now because Muta just beat Larry Z and Ricky Steamboat in a number one contender match the next night. I got a note saying Ricky had failed a steroid test. First steroid failure I've had in the current save. He had to put over Dean Malenko by dq to make up. I did this match before and they have good chemistry.

Pillman and Malenko is not over after all. Stealing from real life here. Brian Pillman is out backstage and Dean Malenko is standing over him. He has cut off some of that gorgeous Pillman hair. Pillman immediately demands a match, Paul E says only if the title is on the line. Their ladder match was supposed to be their last title match. Pillman obviously agrees. Malenko has to win this time, right? right!! I'm watching Godfather 3 and Andy Garcia is cracking me up. Right!

Luger and Sid got 73. lol Yeah, I knew it would suck, but it sucked even worse than I thought it would. Thinking of just ending the Luger experiment now. Muta has been on fire ever since he joined, I might just make him WCW champion. Decisions Decisions. In my mind, I' don't really have any arguments to support Luger remaining as champion. He is just not world champion material. You blew it, buddy.

4 real big matches at Wrestle War and Sid vs Luger was the only match not to deliver. Once again, lucky I put it in semi main event.

Arn and Tully defeat Bret and Owen (94) <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> wow, signing Tully back turned out to be one of the great signings. You still got it!!

Vader defeats Sting (great chesmistry) (92)

Flair and Muta drew 1-1 in the main event. (95)

Best Under card match was Barry Windham and Ricky Stemboat defeating Austin and Nash Vegas. 84 Barry Windham has been feuding with Austin over the tv title. They've drawn matches, non finishes and etc. I imagine it would have great heat by now. Austin also has a thing with Steamboat going. Austin interfered in the 3 way I mentioned early. Possibility of Windham winning the TV title, but most likely it wont happen, because I want Austin vs Steamboat to be for the tv title. The feud that will finally show off Austin.

Good times.

Lex Luger made it easy for me. He signed with WWF and leaves in 14 days. Fall Brawl is a week away so time for him to lose and maybe even lose a rematch, or I might have Vader throw him off a stage or something. Get the most out of the remaining days.

In return, Warrior wasn't offered a new contract by WWF. I guess negative relationship. I think I got the better deal here. He will be mine in 14 days. Going to keep his debut until Halloween Havoc.

Nachtfalter · June 30, 2016

Just recently finished my first full year in game-time with TEW2016 in my SWF Back To The Top game.

After easily overtaking USPW and reclaiming my spot as the number one company in North America I now have my eye on expansion in pretty much every direction.

With the first week of 2017 I introduced a new TV show (SWF Elite - just one extremely packed hour a week) on USA Sports 1 (which has coverage almost all over the world) and pulled the trigger on a brand split. I had already renamed SWF Supreme TV to SWF Prime Time (fittingly after I reduced the Risque factor in my product and moved to a prime time slot on C.A.N.N. - though really, I changed my product more to be able to sign KC Glenn whom I Just absolutely love and HAD to have) because I like SWF Prime and SWF Elite as names for my sub-brands.

I'm playing as owner with Jerry Eisen as user character and put old Richard out to pasture right from the start (he's out of the business), so the storyline I ran to kick off the brandsplit naturally involved a power struggle between Jerry and Eric. After Eric (in his mind) had gotten screwed out of winning in two title matches in quick succession, he announced that he would take control of the new TV show in January and wouldn't compete on his corrupt brother's show Prime Time anymore. Jerry and the SWF board wouldn't concede that easily but they made a 4 on 4 main event for Christmas Clash where Eric could win the right to run SWF Elite. He did. And here we are.

My original plan was to have Angry Gilmore turn heel and lead the Elite Brand as Supreme Champion (which is the belt Eric created for himself and his new brand) but thanks to a (I believe) new feature in TEW2016 Gilmore didn't want to turn heel because of merchandise money. Since I had already turned Joey Morgan heel against his wishes and him still being severely pissed about it seven months later, I decided against it and am going with Gilmore as a face champion instead which is kind of throwing a lot of my long term planning into chaos and lead to a severely overpowered face side on the Elite brand (with Gilmore, Jack Bruce and Rocky Golden as top trio). And no, Rocky and Jack don't want to turn either and both invoked their creative control clauses.

I've also been looking towards Mexico and, in anticipation of eventual National Battles there, I promised an almost absurd amount of money to steal El Leon from SOTBPW (he's earning as much as Rocky Golden, second only to Jack Bruce) but it's paid off when I had my first National Battles in Mexico which I narrowly won.

Leon was also the main reason for creating a Cruiserweight division (with a main event World Cruiserweight Title) though having other lightweights with a lot of star quality (and ability) like Jimmy Hernandez, Mikey Lau and the Bumfholes made the decision even easier. The Cruiserweights are on the Prime brand and my idea was to have a Women's division on the Elite brand to balance that out, but pretty much all the good women are signed with USPW or NOTBPW, so I've put that one on the back-burner for now.

My main heel stable on the Prime brand is the Sneer Corporation with Shane Sneer (obviously), heel World Champion Joey Morgan (won the title from Jack Bruce, who, in turn, won it from Remo at Supreme Challenge), former champion Remo and young up-and-comer Jay Chord. Previously, Brandon James was a member, but I turned him face towards the end of the year and had him feud with Morgan. James has done well, but his contract is coming up and he's in time decline, so if USPW is willing to pay him good money, I'm not gonna break the bank to keep him. I let Vengeance go to USPW as well - I kind of like having their entire main event consist of older former SWF stars. How very WCW of them.

I could write some more about the Bumfholes split, the meteoric rise of Spencer Spade or my regrets about not signing Nicky Champion, but this post is already way too long for anyone to actually read, so I'll just stop here <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />
