Marat Khoklov beat Eddie Peak, clean as a sheet, at On Thin Ice (our early-February show). The match actually wasn't bad (82), as Khoklov has gained enough psychology to be useful in matches called in the ring. As mentioned, this storyline will continue to SFW Summer Festival, the biggest show of the year (which takes place in early-June), and for the moment, I've added Joshua Taylor to it, since he beat Aaron Andrews in a #1 contender match at On Thin Ice. Other big news: Melody pinned Demelza Wade for the Women's title in a triple threat match that also included Sara Marie York. The two worked together (albeit uneasily) in that storyline, but now, the focus will shift to Summer Festival, where my two best female workers will go one-on-one for the title. Face vs. face storylines can be tricky, but I'm really looking forward to this one. Heck, Sara's popularity is around 70 nationwide, making her more over than about 85% of the male roster! I also made a pretty noteworthy turn at On Thin Ice. Art Reed had been teaming with Clark Alexander, and they even won the tag titles together for a short time last year. However, with Alexander's contract up and him in a very steep decline, I had no use for the tag team anymore. Aldous Blackfriar and Roderick Remus beat them clean at On Thin Ice, and Reed snapped after the match, turning heel and setting him up to work good matches with my upper-midcard tier of faces (Edd Stone and Frankie Perez, specifically; those'll be really fun to watch!). Also, I'm happy to report that Koshiro Ino is back healthy. He tore his rotator cuff weeks after signing with me last year, but thanks to surgery, his 12-month recovery time got cut to just under nine months (I WAS able to keep him on the air as my commissioner, where he contributed to some fun segments from time to time). He beat Guide at On Thin Ice (thankfully, I had nothing else for Guide to do!), and I've got Ino pegged as a top-tier babyface for a while to come. He's not Eddie Peak or Joshua Taylor-level popular, but he's not far off, either. You may notice a lot of my guys are former TCW stars. If you've seen the TCW thread elsewhere on this forum, you'll know that I brought up their tricky economic situation. Since my last writing, it's only gotten worse. I signed Elmo Benson (probably for too much money), and will be reuniting High Concept, his tag team with Greg Black. Additionally, USPW signed both Human Arsenal and Danny Fonzarelli. As such, in the last year-plus, TCW has lost the following guys: Eddie Peak, Aaron Andrews, Joshua Taylor, Edd Stone, Guide, Elmo Benson, Human Arsenal, and Danny Fonzarelli. Yeah, they're, um...in BIG trouble. <img alt=":rolleyes:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> While my top guys are long-term stalwarts of the industry, I'm also really happy about some of the younger guys that are breaking out. Gino Montero, for instance, is between 65-70 in popularity around the country, and when autopushing everyone (as I do from time to time), the game put him at the main event level, which stunned me. Yes, he's a terrific worker and a future star, but a main event-level guy after a bit more than a year? Wow. I've put him in a program with The Uprising (Ernest Youngman, Kirk Jameson, and Greg Gauge), who are just a hair below that in popularity and will all be key figures going forward as well. I had to cull a few guys from developmental. Felipe Caballero and Marcel LeFleur got released; Caballero had a very low ceiling, while LeFleur just didn't develop nearly enough to where I'd ever use him. Christopher Gerard barely avoided the ax, and was instead called up to be a heel jobber for the time being. The next guy to make that decision about is The Masked Stranger, who's a solid all-around worker I'm not sure I have a spot for. It's not an awful problem to have, but this is where I could really use another TV show that I'll hopefully get moving from Cult to National at some point this year.</div></blockquote> On to April 2017, and with it, the conclusion of SFW Spring Stampede. At the top of the show, Marat Khoklov retained his SFW World Championship cleanly over Joshua Taylor, setting up Khoklov-Peak 2 at SFW Summer Festival (my biggest show). Taylor got shoehorned in, but the dude's been on fire, producing some killer matches. He and Peak, in fact, teamed up for a 94-rated tag match with Kirk Jameson and Greg Gauge that's easily the best match I've had in this save so far. In fact, just for kicks, I brought Bruce the Giant in on a one-shot deal and had Taylor face him in a TV main event. Well, it turns out Taylor and Bruce have excellent chemistry, and despite Bruce being pretty much immobile and unable to work longer than eight minutes without getting gassed, the match got a respectable 78 rating. Joshua Taylor = miracle worker. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Other title feuds: Melody and Sara worked a 20-minute time limit draw at Spring Stampede, setting up a blowoff match at Summer Festival. Silver Tiger became my new Cruiserweight champion a few weeks before Spring Stampede, but he and Super Ninja lost the tag titles to High Concept (Elmo Benson and Greg Black) in a ladder match that night. I probably have to find a way to get the Cruiserweight title off Tiger, as I've got he and Ninja programmed with Edd Stone and Koshiro Ino (who I only recently found had excellent chemistry as partners) leading up to Summer Festival. My cruiserweight division is suddenly swimming with promising midcard guys (Aldous Blackfriar, Roderick Remus, Kip Keenan, and Fox Mask, to name four), so it shouldn't be too hard to pick one and see how they do when handed the ball. The latest TCW poaching report: Before Spring Stampede, I snagged Jay Chord, who became a logical fit in The Uprising with Jameson, Gauge, and Ernest Youngman. I gave him a six-year deal, and while he's a horrible influence backstage, he's got "future star" written all over him in big, bold letters (and I've got a ton of locker room leaders to keep him in line, too!). In lesser news, I've also poached Killer Shark and Floyd Goldworthy. I'm not quite sure if I'm going to put Goldworthy as Shark's manager, but the timing is perfect and the fit should be OK (since Shark can't talk). Meanwhile, SWF poached Rocky Golden and Eddie Chandler, leaving TCW with Wolf Hawkins, Sammy Bach, 47-year-old Ricky Dale Johnson, 45-year-old Bryan Vessey, and not much else. Someone sound the freaking alarms over there! <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Other signings/missed signings/notes: Alicia Strong is being allowed to leave USPW, which stuns me since she's one of the top female wrestlers in the world. Given my women's division, and the chances of matchups between her and Sara Marie York/Melody, I want her, and I want her badly. I also wanted Boom-Boom Jamaica, who would've been a perfect fit for my cruiserweight division and a strong long-term prospect, but he re-upped with SOTBPW for considerably less than I was offering. On the plus side, I did sign Lassana Makutsi and Scythe from SWF for very cheap, and given their levels of potential, they're low-risk, high-reward investments. Finally, Sean McFly turned down a VERY lucrative offer from USPW to stay with NOTBPW, and that's very good news for me. I've got a working agreement with NOTBPW, and the first thing I did after Spring Stampede was arrange a talent trade so McFly could come in for a program culminating in a Summer Festival match with Jay Chord!

Is SWF also still booking idiotic tag matches in the main events of their PPV's in your games? Just now they got a C rating on a PPV. What the hell was that? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I guess I can tone down the prevalence of tag matches but I don't want to ruin the division.

Captain2 · January 3, 2017

We're building up to Wrestlemania VII in 1991. "The Macho King" Randy Savage has won his WWF World Heavyweight Championship back from Hulk Hogan and will now be defending it against the 1991 Royal Rumble winner.... Rowdy Roddy Piper. Hot Rod seems ready to capture his first world title and cement his legacy but he broke two of his fingers in the process of winning the Royal Rumble and Savage has been taking advantage at every opportunity.

Hulk Hogan looks to get himself back on top of the pile but finds someone standing in his way, "Ravishing" Rick Rude seems determined to prove that he should be the number one contender to the World title and he's more than confident in his ability to overcome Hulkamania.

Bret "The Hitman" Hart won the Intercontinental championship from former Champion, Rick Rude back in December and looks to prove himself a fighting champion, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson seems ready to make Bret prove that he's worthy of the title.

In backstage news, I've recently lost Mr. Perfect to WCW so I'm kind of considering weither I want to add someone new to the Four Horsemen or just let it die. Perfect and Arn had just won the tag title and held them for a month before the signing, they then lost the tag titles to The Rockers. Mr. Perfect himself was a replacement for Tully Blanchard who left for a massive WCW paycheque and he's only been in the group for maybe two months before leaving. I'm considering sticking Bam Bam in Perfect/Tully's spot. Currently the group is Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Sid Justice and then a blank spot.

The aim of my game is global expansion. I've bought out numerous companies and we now have active titles in the AJPW Triple Crown, GHC Heavyweight, GHC Junior Heavyweight and W-1 Heavyweight titles with unification planned down the track. I also have a number of development companies, with 1 based in Japan and another based in Mexico, a Women's federation and NXT. I just bought out PROGRESS to be my UK based fed and I plan to launch the WWE United Kingdom championship as an alliance title in January to help mimic real life (funnily enough I bought PROGRESS out the day before the UK title was announced last week). Currently running through the 2nd Annual Cruiserweight Classic as a standalone B show, won last year by Jay Lethal. This year it features Mistico, Kota Ibushi, BUSHI, Hideo Itami, Bobby Fish, Alex Shelley, Kushida and Pentagon Jr. Winner faces the WWE Cruiserweight champion at Night of Champions, currently held by Ricochet. CM Punk won the Smackdown Money in the Bank and cashed in same night after The Rock finally beat Dolph Ziggler for the WWE World title. Rock had been cheated out of the title for months, finally getting his 9th WWE World title reign for it to end minutes later. Punk would drop the title in a fatal 4 way to Goldberg after he was randomly sent to Smackdown in the Draft Lottery. The 4 continue to feud. On RAW, Kevin Owens is the RAW Money in the Bank holder and is basically stalking Seth Rollins, who finally won the WWE Universal title off Finn Balor after a year of chasing the title. Whenever Owens looks to cash in, Sami Zayn is there to stop it. Owens beat Zayn in a loser leaves RAW match in October 2016, so Zayn moved to Smackdown but has since returned to RAW after being chosen in the random Draft Lottery. Another talent who moved from RAW to Smackdown in the Draft Lottery was Charlotte, who has become the first women to hold both brand's Women's titles. Tyson Kidd was also moved to Smackdown after he turned on Cesaro, costing him the RAW Money in the Bank. Kidd has started Hart Dynasty 3.0 with Natalya, David Hart Smith, Vance Archer and Teddy Hart, but Cesaro has since been traded to Smackdown with Braun Strauman, for the Hype Bros. & EC3, where he can expect a lengthier main event push. Honestly, I think the Draft Lottery was a great idea for me in-game. I had Siri random select numbers and moved talent from RAW and Smackdown based on their position alphabetically, only title holders were ineligible. It has created great storyline opportunities and made me think on my feet to work the talent in. With Charlotte now on Smackdown, I've turned Paige heel who just won the WWE Women's title off Bayley who held it for 6 months. The Miz has moved to RAW where he's now battling Shinsuke Nakamura for the AJPW Triple Crown, and Neville has moved to Smackdown to help strengthen their cruiserweight division. Since Smackdown are light on Cruiserweight heels, he may turn heel after he drops the GHC Junior Heavyweight title back to Caristico.</div></blockquote> Just started October 2017 and Kota Ibushi won the 2nd annual CWC but lost to Ricochet at Night of Champions in a respectful contest. Ibushi beat Pentagon Jr. in the final, while Zack Sabre Jr and Alex Shelley made up the final four. Right off the heels of the CWC I've started the World's Strongest Tag Team tournament (obtained in the purchase of AJPW), a 32 tag team tournament. Half way through the first round and TM-61 pulled an upset beating Batista & Titus O'Neil. Called up teams include former WPL Tag Team champs Kota Ibushi & Keiji Mutoh and the current WPL Tag Team champs Katsuhiko Nakajima & Katsuyori Shibata, Angel de Oro & Angel de Plata stepping in for new NXT Tag Team champs Marshall & Ross Von Erich due to injury, and the Briscoes. Favourites for the tournament include Ricochet & Will Ospreay, new WWE RAW Tag Team champs Chris Jericho & Kevin Owens, American Alpha, The Young Bucks and Luke Harper & Erick Rowan. Other happenings: Randy Orton returned to WWE after a spell in NJPW, Cody Rhodes joined The Bullet Club, Big E is the new WWE United States Champion, and Seth Rollins is WWE Universal champion, although Kevin Owens (holder of the RAW Money in the Bank) is in the ear of Triple H, telling him he needs to jump on the right bandwagon. The Owens vs Zayn feud continues after the two were forced to tag together against another reluctant team, Rollins & Roman Reigns. Winners received a WWE Tag Team title shot and Owens was kept in line by Foley who threatened to take his Money in the Bank title shot. Owens & Zayn won and beat New Day thanks to Gallows & Anderson. After some reluctant defenses, Foley told Zayn and Owens to find different partners and a 4 way ladder match was booked, with Jeri-KO walking away with the titles. Without a doubt this is my money feud, love having KO tease cashing in and manipulating HHH. CHAMPIONS RAW: Universal - Seth Rollins, AJPW Triple Crown - Shinsuke Nakamura (2), United States - Big E, Cruiserweight - Ricochet, Women's - Bayley (2), Tag Team - Owens & Jericho. Smackdown: World - CM Punk, GHC Heavyweight - AJ Styles, W-1 Heavyweight - AJ Styles, Intercontinental - Kazuchika Okada, GHC Junior Heavyweight - Neville, SD Women's - Asuka, SD Tag Team - American Alpha.

<div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">I just started a Cornellverse save with TCW as Kyle Rhodes and it's pretty fun. My first show [Total Wrestling] scored an 83/B+ whilst SWF Supreme TV scored 79/B but in TV Ratings, they got an 10.11 whilst we only had 6.74! This is my 2nd run with TCW because I had made a new one due to Ricky Dale Johnson getting Chronic Shoulder Pain for 45 days and decided to work through it due to Benny Benson botching a move. I also booked RDJ in the wrong Storyline with Aaron Andrews; I got RDJ and Rocky Golden mixed up but this time, I've got it write. If anyone has done a TCW save or is still running it, who should I sign or push? I might make this into a diary if I lose interest in my TNA one. Also, who should get the World title strap in the future after the Rocky Golden/Aaron Andrews fued is over? Open for all ideas.</div></div>

Koholos · January 5, 2017

So, my slightly modified TCW save just closed out 2017 with a bang. A 94 rated PPV, and a 99 rated match the night before got us Most Improved of 2016, and we started 2017 as the #1 promotion in the world.

Let's start with backstage stuff.

Currently, I have 2 Dev feds - Mid-Atlantic Wrestling in the US and Total Wrestling Fight-o! in Japan. Nate Johnson, Brent Hill, Sky King and Joel Bryant are doing a great job as trainers, and Bryan Vessey will be joining them by year-end. We now have three shows: Total Complete Wrestling, Saturday Night Showdown, and Up In Flames!

American Buffalo was not renewed. Old age finally got to him, and he just wasn't worth holding onto. Likewise for RDJ, who wound up with USPW, which is a good victory lap. And he did the job on his way out, helping me put Jay Chord in the Upper Midcard scene.

Eddie Peak is out for a year. Originally, he was supposed to be the one to 'retire' Bryan Vessey, after a face turn, but I'm not sure I have 24 months to wait on that. Champagne Lover (my character) is out for 60 days, which is unfortunately slowing a Troy Tornado push.

I don't even remember all the names I signed this year. As I said, I have a slightly modified TCW save - an alt-history where Champagne Lover buys the promotion and convinces Tommy Cornell to give him 2 years to make sure the young talent is ready, rather than leave them in the lurch, and as part of this, Joey Minnesota also stays.

I stole Skull DeBones in February, specifically to knock SWF out of the National battles. Expensive, but worth it. They were within 5 points of me, and stealing DeBones kneecapped them. I also managed to sign Ricky DeColt (currently in Dev), Johnny Bloodstone, Rich Money, Matthew Keith, Xtinction, Trent Schaffer, The Bumfholes, Rick Law, Paul Huntingdon, Jungle Jack, Jefferson Stardust, Joss Thompson, Adam Matravers, Alexander Tritchkov (pre-show enhancement talent to train mid-row stats), and Cameron Vessey.

As far as storylines go -

Paul Huntingdon came into TCW on a tear, chewing through wrestlers, beating 22 in a row and winning the Intercontinental Chanpionship. He then started an open challenge, which Matt Keith finally accepted, and lost (through interference). Joss Thompson then took up the challenge, and lost when Matt Keith, infuriated at Huntingdon's refusal of a rematch, attacked them both and broke up the match. That led to a 3-way fight for the belt, which Keith finally won. The feud lasted for several months, mostly in the background, but eventually caught fire again, when Greg Gauge challenged his brother for the belt. First he beat Joss Thompson to prove his worth, but Thompson interefered in the title match to retaliate, costing Greg the win. Greg got his rematch, and won, but didn't win clean. He asked for a third rematch, putting title on the line, and finally, at Psycho Circus, the brothers had their final rematch - Matt Keith won, but was immediately attacked by Joss Thompson and Paul Huntingdon, causing Gauge to go to his brother's rescue.

(Gauge is now UM, Keith & Huntingdon ME's).

The Jay Chord - Mighty Mo feud went back and forth a bit for a while, trading wins. But eventually, Chord hired on Jungle Jack and Ricky DeColt as enforcers, and they began going to town on Mo. Fortunately, at that point, the Bumholes appeared. They teamed up with Mighty Mo, since Chord & Jack were after them as well. As of this moment, Mo just lost to Chord in a Steel Cell match, after Jack's distraction, and DeColt was beaten by Jungle Jack after he accidentally hit Jack when DeColt interefered with a match, and had to be stretchered out. He was fired by Jack and is currently in MAW.

Vessey and Golden had their feud, with Vessey several times beating up Golden's valet Garry the Entertainer, and eventually kidnapping him to force Golden to lie down for a pin. Eventually, Golden was able to find Garry, and challenged Vessey to a rematch. Vessey, thinking he still had the upper hand, agreed. He was distraught to see Garry come in partway through the match and eventually Garry landed the finishing punch. Rocky and Garry kiss. Garry goes to MAW (cause his Psychology is 33!) and Vessey goes on to start beating his opponents to within an inch off their life.

Chance Fortune and Darryl Devine broke up their tag team, after Devine felt that Fortune wasn't taking it seriously enough. They won the tag belts, and Fortune argued that he had most of the pins, but Devine told him that HE was willing to work harder to ensure they won. Fortune, in attempt to prove to Devine that he COULD take things seriously, won the TCW's new MMA Champion belt, awarded for shoot fights, and tried to challenge him to make him see reason.

And Rich Money is basically Ted DiBiase. He came in, bought out Eddie Peak and Titan (now Killer Shark and Titan, after Peak's injury) and formed the Spoiler Alert stable. Danny Fonzarelli, attempting to prove that he would not be swayed, joined up with Benny Benson to bring Money down. But Money, instead, convinced Fonzarelli that Benson didn't care about him at all, and this has led to a Benson & Matravers vs Spoiler Alert feud. Finally, at Psycho Circus, Benson managed to beat Fonzarelli, and spent the next ten minutes lecturing him about how much of an idiot he's been. Time will tell whether Fonzarelli has learned his lesson.

But the biggest storyline of the year, one with a rating over 90 for 2 months, and which led to 3 matches rated 95+...

Joey Minnesota stood up to Tommy Cornell, angry over him fighting new wrestlers just so he could demolish them to make himself look good. He finally fought Cornell and won, capping it off with a Minnesota Salute.

The next night, Minnesota was fired. But he snuck into Malice in Wonderland, knocked out Rocky Golden, and beat Aaron Andrews in a Cage match for the belt. With the belt on, Cornell couldn't fire him.

Minnesota kept the belt for 6 months, but finally he lost it. Tommy Cornell powerbombed him off the ramp the night before the title match, but that wasn't why he lost it. It's because during what was supposed to be his title defense the next night vs Rocky Golden, Aaron Andrews (now Cornell's enforcer) and Tommy Cornell ran down to cause trouble, leading to Golden & Minnesota vs Andrews & Cornell. And since individiual belts can't be defended in tag matches, Minnesota had the title stripped for not defending it on PPV.

Cornell then gave the title to Wolf Hawkins... Which left Aaron Andrews extremely angry, and fired Joey Minnesota AGAIN.

At this point, Andrews turns on Hawkins and Cornell, and eventually challenges for the title in a match. Just as he wins, Joey Minnesota hits the ring, grabbing the title from him and smashing everyone around him with it, causing Andrews to turn face, and Minnesota to turn heel.

Then, it turned out that Minnesota still couldn't be fired, because he hadn't lost the title under legitimate means (had it not turned into a tag match, it would have remained a title match). So now Minnesota and Andrews each have a title and claim to be champion. But Wolf is feuding with Andrews for what he considers the legitimate title.

And while Minnesota is still feuding with Cornell, it has become solely a personal issue, and Cornell has started to throw Minnesota up against a meat-grinder of hard matches. This can really only go one of two places - either unification, or Cornell quitting.

It's been a lot of fun to book everything so far. I'm really ezcited to see where the Minnesota - Cornell feud and the Keith / Huntingdon feud go. And right now, the majority of my top (or soon to be top) wrestlers are in their early 30's or younger, which means TCW is ready for the future.

Bigpapa42 · January 5, 2017

So finally got a game going with my tweaked version of the 2001 WCW Lives mod. Part of the reason I started messing around with the data in the first place was to put a particular scenario in place - Shane McMahon buys the company and runs it without trying to be direct competition to the WWE. They start at Cult, with a TV deal on Fox Sports and a severely depleted roster. The top guys left are Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page, Jeff Jarrett, Shane Douglas, Kanyon, Dustin Rhodes, Raven (my one "steal" from the WWF) and Rob Van Dam.

Made it thru the first month. Started out by opening 3 developmental territories at the smallest possible size and stocking them with indy talent. Loads of future stars getting polished up for the future. Even moved a few workers from the starting roster, like the Natural Born Thrillers after they dropped the belts. That left the main roster even more shallow but that's a temporary thing.

Main feud off the start is Booker T against Jeff Jarrett. Main goal is to having Booker gain some popularity, hopefully putting moving him from the B- range to around A. So far so good. He'll move into a feud with Raven and probably drop the world title late in 2001. Jarrett can float and job down the roster after this feud is over. Raven is in a "welcome back" feud with DDP. Also had Shane McM institute some new WCW rules, including that only one singles title can be held at a time. So Booker have to give up the US title, leading to a tournament that will become an annual thing (tho not with the US title on the line very year). Rob Van Dam will go over Lance Storm in the finale. Storm and Awesome won the tag belts from NBT right away.

I'm not too focused on show grades, as even a C+ will probably grow the company in some areas. But I've been hitting B pretty consistently, which is nice. I added a B show, which was really just so I could feature the lower card talent and cruiserweights more easily. I've also been running a weekly non-broadcast house show in Canada to build up popularity there so I get back on TV there as well.

In a ton of test saves I've done with this personal mod, the WWF is a bit inconsistent. Unstoppable monster in some saves and much less so in others. Looks like their grades are rather meh so far.

Welcome to the Jungle as well....first back to back 100's

TheZies · January 6, 2017

Playing 2001: New Blood. I started out as Mark Cuban looking to get into the wrestling business, and bringing the sport back home to North Texas. In this world, Cuban and a group of investors have redone the historic Sportatorium, and in conjunction with debut of his new network HDNet, bought the rights to WCW and ECW.

After extensive lawyer battles, renegotiation, and payouts to many of the WCW employees. The contracts were realigned to more manageable levels (Goldberg and Sting makes the most at $150k, most other main events make between 75-100k a month). So in theory, Time Warner/Turner will be paying most of the contracts and other contract law mumbo-jumbo.

With that it was time to debut World Class Pro Wrestling.

Champions:

WCPW World's Heavyweight: Goldberg (defeated Steiner, Sting and RVD to unify WCW and ECW world titles at Wrestlepalooza)

WCPW United States: Diamond Dallas Page (Unified WCW US and ECW TV titles after defeating Booker T, Shane Douglas and Rhino at Wrestlepalooza).

WCPW Cruiserweight: Chavo

WCPW World Tag Team: Natural Born Thrillers (Palumbo and O'Haire defeated Sandman/Tommy Dreamer to unify WCW and ECW tag titles.)

Notable Notes:

RVD has been enjoying the "backstage benefits" and is now a muscular middleweight with 94 star quality. His pop is only 51, so I've got some building to do, but he'll be a mega star for sure.

Ric Flair finally let Bischoff have it by beating him up backstage. I had to suspend Flair, but I'm sure there was a thank you thrown in there by some.

Goldberg is my figurehead. Obvs. I plan on keeping the belt on him for a while, maybe even a full year or more ... most likely will have a heel turn at some point where RVD becomes the underdog to finally defeat him.

DDP US Open Challenge. I loved Cena's open challenge, so in an attempt to bring the US title back, I'm doing something similar with DDP. It's fun and fills a good 20-30 minutes of a show.

Not enough faces. I have a lot of bad guys and not many good guys. brought Mike Awesome back in as a face, Jushin Thunder Liger for a stretch (freelancer) and was able to steal R-Truth from WWF.

Keeping the Nitro brand. I chose to keep Monday Nitro and continue to go head-to-head with Raw. My product is more performance based with Traditional/Mainstream at Heavy and Cult, Modern, Realism at medium.

WCPW Slamboree

At Slamboree, we had the semi-final and final of the #1 contender tournament. However, since the Dustin Rhodes/Jeff Jarrett qualifying match ended in a double count-out, they opened the show. Double J wasn't thrilled about needing to win 3 times in one night. So, he cheated in all three matches defeating Rhodes, Mysterio and Sting.

Goldberg and Steiner had their clash. Not a bad match, as it got a 78. It was actually probably too long even at 14 minutes (Steiner I imagine would have stayed away from Goldberg a lot to get into his head).

Then to close the show Jarrett decided to try and hit Goldberg with a guitar ... which didn't end up well for him.

The next night on Nitro, Bischoff reprimanded Double J for cheating all night, and forced him to rematch with Sting. If he cheated, he'd lose his #1 contender-ship. He managed to win, setting up the battle with Goldberg.

So, now we're heading toward The Great American Bash in just a matter of weeks ... now I just have to figure out something else for everyone to do.

September 2016 - Still on my first SWF Save heading into Under Control. My current feuds.

Dazzling Dave Diamond vs. Jungle Lord

Hero Squad broke up and then Atomic was poached by USPW right after Supreme Challenge. I had planned for the feud to continue after Supreme Challenge. The feud revolved around Haley Buck being a "reporter" for the Hero Squad and eventually finding out that Jungle Lord planned to turn on Atomic. Their Supreme Challenge match was over Haley Buck's services as a personal reporter and Jungle Lord won, forcing Haley Buck to give him favorable interviews and becoming more aggressive as Buck becomes increasingly uncomfortable and beings making many mistakes during the interviews. At Welcome To The Jungle, Diamond debuted and attacked Jungle Lord. Not sure if Diamond will rescue Buck or if Buck will turn heel and get some Stockholm Syndrome with Jungle Lord

American Machine vs. John Greed (North American Title)

John Greed won the #1 Contender's match to face off for the North American title. After losing at Welcome to the Jungle, Greed continued to provoke Machine to get another title shot. Machine and Greed are both sitting fairly reliably in the middle of the card so depending on who my next rising star is will determine who wins this mini feud.

Jack Bruce vs. Spencer Spade/Bear Bekowski/Greg Gauge/Hailama Hua (High Flyin Hawaiian)/Sammy Smoke

Spencer Spade recruited Bear Bekowski and they became "Double BS". Spade's recruitment didn't end there and now he and his cohorts have become known as Double Trouble. A debuting Gauge and Hua joined shortly after Supreme Challenge and the group set its sights on Jack Bruce who finally came out of his feud with The Crippler with a victory at Supreme Challenge. The group attacked Bruce and is now antagonizing Bruce and costing him title shots every chance they get. The feud will keep Bruce occupied and set these up with good angles and matches to move them up the card. Sammy Smoke will probably find himself turned on by the group and put over the guys that are stalling on momentum. Hua isn't a good heel and is fresh onto the roster so he's got a ways to go before he's moving up the card but with his SQ of 93, once he gets to about midcard pop I'll be having him face turn and set up a match with Spade that will hopefully propel them both toward the top of the card. Spade will be with Bekowski as his enforcer and Gauge as his lackey for as long as possible. The other big stable is The Supremacy (A racist group of Eric Eisen, Squeeky McClean, and Robbie Retro) so Double Trouble could eventually turn face and hype up a huge feud but my plan for Supremacy was to have them be gatekeepers so I'm not sure if they'll last long enough for that.

Jefferson Stardust vs. Brandon James

The Awesomeness had an amicable breakup but eventually Huey Cannonball attacked Jefferson and they had a Loser Leaves Town match which Stardust won. Now looking to make his way up the card, Brandon James sees the potential and offers to help Jefferson out. When Jefferson refuses, James attacks him in frustration. James and Jefferson will have a couple of PPV matches to see how Jefferson responds to moving up the card.

Mikey Lau vs. Primus Allen

Mikey Lau upset Primus Allen putting an end to his win streak on Supreme TV. This drove Allen crazy and he has been hunting down Lau but Lau always seems to get the best of him. Lau is in negotiations right now and I'm afraid I might lose him (I play as booker so Richard Eisen usually limits me enough where I'm starting to lose bidding wars). If I keep Lau, he'll go over and get a main event feud to see if he's ready for the top of the card. If I lose the Lau sweepstakes, Davids will dominate and soak up some popularity to hopefully move him above the midcard.

Marat Khoklov vs. Rogue (World Title)

Rogue finally beat Remo at The World is Watching and has held the title for almost five months. After defending successfully against Brandon James, a new contender was crowned when Khoklov won a fatal four way to get a match against Rogue at Under Control. Khoklov is going to get the title and hold it for awhile. Crippler got Khoklov to join him in his feud against Jack Bruce but once Khoklov has the title, he's going to turn on Crippler and become an unstoppable monster. Khoklov will likely hold the title for a long time before he puts over either Valiant or Joey Morgan at Supreme Challenge 37.

Bumfholes vs. Pain Alliance

The Pain Alliance have been monsters in the tag team division (and not monsters backstage even though Laramee has a poor relationship with my user character). For the Bumfholes this is likely their last shot at the belts before a new contender goes after the belt. I don't see the Bumfholes being broken up and will likely be feuding with one of the young groups I have.

Hollywood Sex (Bret Starr and Joe Sexy) vs. Bigger in Texas (Brett Biggins and Marshall Dillon) vs. Hollywood Blondes vs. Mystery Men (El Mitico Jr and Masked Patriot)

Good chemistry tag teams moving up the card for a title shot. Not entirely sure where I'm going with this one but I think Bigger in Texas is going to be getting their title shot soon and Hollywood Sex is going after the Bumfholes (the jokes write themselves there). Mystery Men are nowhere near a place to make a big impact and will likely be putting over the Blondes going forward and hopefully building pop in angles with them.

Supremacy (Robbie Retro/Eric Eisen/Squeeky McClean) vs. Indy Scum (Remmy Skye/Frankie Perez/Sonny Wildside)

Supremacy is going to go over these new signees. Skye got busted for soft drugs again and got his suspension. He's going to put people over until his next offense and then he's going to rehab. Perez and Wildside will probably find themselves working in developmental after this until there's something for them to do. I don't even know why I signed Wildside to be honest...

Valiant vs. Vengeance

Valiant found himself on a losing streak where he couldn't seem to break through to finally get a title shot. Adding to that, Vengeance started taunting him and costing him matches but whenever Valiant would try to challenge Vengeance, there were more mind games. This feud is looking to keep going until the end of the year when Valiant finally gets the upper hand and then goes after the belt. It is insane that Valiant has never held the belt so I plan to have him finally go over at Supreme Challenge (I would've done it at the past SC but Remo got stolen by SOTBPW and I ended up having to put in Rogue as champ and didn't want to build Valiant up only to have him beat a short term champ at the biggest show, putting him over Khoklov at SC after a long reign should have the impact I want).

Joey Morgan vs. Angry Gilmore

Morgan lost the North American title in a fatal four way then lost his rematch in a triple threat match. Morgan was fed up with Gilmore putting his nose in the title matches and attacked him after the triple threat in one of the biggest heel turns of 2016. Gilmore and Morgan have been battling with Morgan getting the best of Gilmore at Supreme Challenge and winning the Jungle Rumble giving him a MITB style contract for a title match. Gilmore and Morgan will have the blowoff match inside the Control Cage (Hell in a Cell) at Under Control with Morgan going over once more. Morgan will be holding his contract for awhile and will likely end up losing when he does cash in either at Supreme Challenge in a Triple Threat or at Welcome to the Jungle after. I had big plans for Morgan when he won but now I think Khoklov is going to be my top heel for the near future.

I was having a good time playing my 5y-long CV97 game, but in that time. I guess I thought it was funny to put the injuries on "xtreme". This is what I got:

Eisaku Hoshino

Eisaku Kunomasu (my favorite wrestler, his body was completely red after two years, save his orange head. He ain't lordly no more...)

Enygma

Geena the Warrior Princess

JD Morgan (another of my faves)

Ken Shimedzu

Sean McFly

Sean Self

Sebastian Krause

VENOM

... and others, namely Land Mass and Colossus, but few will lack sleep because of that.

"Upper Lumbar Spinal Cord Rupture" is the main cause of all this. Must be an injury mod that I either accidently installed or that came with the mod. Brutal. Anyhow: I'll take the default injury file over this. Easier to understand a broken heart than this medical mumbo-jumbo.

Angry Gilmore has a strong Friendship with...17 people.

Must save game and fire him. MUST DO IT.

Database: Clash of the Champions

Game start: July 1994

Current date: December 1995

I'm fast approaching Starrcade with WCW, and I have all the matches lined up. I'm at International level, while the #1 company in the world, WWF, are sitting steadily at Cult. WWF's world champion is... Tatanka, and the title's prestige are sitting a 63. WWF have been retarded all the way. Things are going good for me though.

Randy Savage are heading into Starrcade as the World Heavyweight Champion, after dethroning Hogan who had been champion for 1 year and 4 months, in a triple threat match at World War 3, also involving Diamond Dallas Page. Savage will now face Flair at Starrcade for the title, while Hogan will end his five month long feud with DDP.

jwt13 · January 8, 2017

Playing the 1998 mod as WCW I'm now in May of 99 and here is my main story.

So Goldberg ran his undeafted streak and title reign until February of 99 when he lost his belt and streak to Raven via underhanded tactics from what was left of the Flock (The Flock is still around but never really apart of any story) Goldberg was then put off screen as I thought I would slow build a rematch because Goldberg is my Figurehead but Raven has had the better run with matches lately pulling 3 98/99's since late 1998, so The Flock "injured" Goldberg for a 3 months.

DDP won a number one contenders match but after the match we see Raven taking Kimberly and putting her in the back of his car, DDP runs to the back but is too late. The next 3 months were apart of DDP trying to get his wife back and every time coming up short with Kimberly never apearing in the Arena that WCW was in but sometimes would be shown during a Raven promo tied up in the back. DDP begged for one more shot and that happened on the first WCW The Great Clash TV special.

DDP and Raven had a very good match (93) and everything was in an even match when all of a sudden Kimberly runs to the ring tape still hanging from her wrists and DDP see's her and gets distracted Raven hits the DDT and pins DDP, to the dismay of the crowd and Kimberly. Kimberly gets in the ring and is helping DDP up she hugs him and...BOOM kick to the nuts, she runs hugs Raven and the show ends as they standing over DDP doing Raven's arms stretched taunt.

I do this after every Wrestlemania since I started in 1987 just before Wrestlemania 3. Bret Hart scored a big win by defending his Intercontinental Championship against Ric Flair.

So far the major events of Wrestlemania 7 were Rowdy Roddy Piper beating Macho King Randy Savage to win his first WWF World Heavyweight Championship, Andre The Giant losing a retirement match to Rick Rude and being forced to leave active competition and the rumblings of a slick talking New Yorker being interested in the managing the rise of The Ravishing one.

I just set up the 1987 Golden Age mod today and man...have I fallen down the rabbit hole. Been looking at, studying, and setting up WWF for hours. I haven't even created a card yet. Just so much good work done with the mod.

I was tempted to play the game as Mark Callous (Undertaker) and play his career out from the start, but finally went with Vinnie Mac as owner of the WWF.

Much credit to the creator of The Golden Age mod. The ratings for every performer is done excellently and are very accurate, despite my bias for Bret Hart and wanting him better haha. Really, the only one stat I disagree with is Ricky Steamboat. At age 34 in '87, I think he should definitely be in the 90s for Star Quality. But hey, can't complain about one stat out of thousands in the game.

Definitely more updates to come in the future.

Looks like I'm going that way...would certainly be following real life history in the WWF... Curious though, has anyone ever have to deal with a drug scandal in their game? That must be a ton of fun.
