What's going on in your game?

AceCodey · April 16, 2017

Started doing a thing where I book out promo lengths somewhat realistically instead of the 5/6mins per angle rule, and I book what happens during commercials and etc.

It went pretty well, had about 19 segments for a 2 hour SupremeTV and the show rated quite well for the first one of the game.

If you're interested, I've written it up here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w0X7tKpmqd5geW5V-7qBJ_HuEw324v9Iututm1qNi2s/edit?usp=sharing" rel="external nofollow">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1w0X7tKpmqd5geW5V-7qBJ_HuEw324v9Iututm1qNi2s/edit?usp=sharing</a>

Raven & Sandman just crushed plans for an ECW faction in late 2001 WWF (WCW Lives mod)

I have had him go into a very dark gimmick, cutting promos before and after his matches foretelling a darkness coming to the WWF, with the intention being Tommy Dreamer, Sabu and Sandman all debuting at once.

The storyline would have run from KOTR in June to Survivor Series. The 4 ECW alumni would have targeted RVD attempting to recruit him, but failing to do so as RVD joins forces with Jericho, Benoit, Angle & Guerrero. It would have also had Heyman debut Lesner early as ECW's 5th man to culminate in ECW winning a survivor series tag match. Possibly continuing afterwards into several smaller feuds. With the intent being RVD and Lesner being made by this story.

However Raven was pinged for Hard Drugs and one week later in his first main roster dark match Sandman turned up drunk. So now the Hardcore faction's leader is in Rehab and Sandman is sitting out a suspension past KOTR.

Now i am left without a main event level 5 v 5 story to run for Survivor Series, and no story for Lesner to jump right into. Plus RVD is sort of directionless on the lowercard

WWF Royal Rumble 1995

LIVE From NY Yankee Stadium (Tri State)

Attendance: 50,625

WWF Tag Team Champions Miracle Violence Connection (Terry Gordy & Steve Williams) defeat The Steiner Brothers after an accidental collision between Rick & Scott. Williams hits the Doctor Bomb on Scott for the W. (Match of the Night! 98 Rating!!!)

Post-Match, Scott Steiner stuns the entire crowd when he blindsides his own brother Rick with a blow to the back of the head! Clearly upset over the miscue, Scott delivers a brutal beat down until he’s pulled off by WWF Officials. Scott screams “It’s All Your Fault” as the crowd boos him, or just continue to watch in total shock.

In a rematch of the Women’s Championship Tournament Finals, Alundra Blayze defeats WWF Women’s Champion Bull Nakano via Count Out. Blayze hits Nakano with a beautiful German Suplex, but it unfortunately sends Nakano falling out of the ring. Bull appears to have been knocked silly after being suplexed on her head and shoulders, and is unable answer the referee’s ten count. Blayze gets her hand raised, but isn’t very happy. She knows Nakano gets to leave still as Women’s Champion. (70)

WWF Intercontinental Champion Eddie Guerrero defeats Owen Hart to retain his championship gold. An epic encounter between two of the best young talents in the world, Latino Heat hits the Frog Splash to put the Rocket away. (93)

In the Finals of the WWF Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament, Devil Masami & Luna Vachon defeat Akira Hokuto & Leilani Kai to become the NEW Women’s Tag Team Champions! With a little help from manager Woman, Masami hits the Fire Valley on Kai for the huge victory. (55)

A hype video plays, reviewing the family feud between Bret Hart & The British Bulldog. It all started at Survivor Series 1994, when Hart narrowly retained his World Title against Bulldog. Bulldog attacked Hitman after the match, sending him to the hospital. Bulldog was suspended by Vince McMahon for not only his vicious assault on Hart, but his insulting comments about the Hitman’s family. After being attacked by Bulldog again at In Your House (December), Hart demanded a match with Bulldog. McMahon only agreed to make the match under the WWF name if both competitors were willing to compete in a Non-Sanctioned Match. Bulldog, meanwhile, would only agree to the match if the WWF Championship was on the line, which Bret had no problem with if it meant getting his hands on Bulldog. The battlelines have been set. Bulldog has the New Foundation (Owen Hart, Jim Neidhart, & Jimmy Hart) on his side. Bret has the rest of the Hart Family on his. Months of sneak attacks, verbal insults, and years of jealously and animosity has led to this historic match.

WWF World Heavyweight Champion Bret “Hitman” Hart defeats The British Bulldog to retain his World Championship. The Non-Sanctioned Match pretty much turns into a street fight all over the arena. Both men get to see some red from the other. The New Foundation gets involved, but Owen & Anvil are soon chased off by Eddie Guerrero & El Hijo Del Santo. In the end, Hart locks Bulldog into the Sharpshooter in the dead center of the ring. The bloody Bulldog is left with no choice but to submit. (91)

The 1995 Royal Rumble Match

After an hour passes by, thirty men have been dwindled down to the final four. Three men entered the Rumble after guaranteeing victory: Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, & The Undertaker. The fourth individual is Terry Funk, who rejuvenated his career at 50 years old upon returning to the WWF as the prized member of the Million Dollar Corporation.

Funk is eliminated by Taker, as fitting after their long feud ending only recently. Michaels misses with a Super Kick on Ramon, allowing the Bad Guy to lift HBK up and dump him to the floor. Taker & Razor duke it out in the middle of the ring. Razor gets the best of Taker. He sets up Taker for the Razor’s Edge, but Taker back tosses out of it. As Razor tries to recover, Taker comes running off the ropes and hits a Big Boot that sends Razor tumbling over the ropes and to the floor! The Undertaker is heading to Wrestlemania to challenge for the WWF World Championship! (86)

Overall Show: 91

Thus begins The Undertaker’s journey onto becoming my super-duper monster heel. The Ministry of Darkness will be coming to the WWF 3-4 years earlier than it originally did. Fun!

SunsetFlip · April 18, 2017

I've been trying to revive Drew McIntyre's career slowly. I started a save where he's only 6 or so months into his 3MB gimmick with Heath Slater and Jinder Mahal. I broke them up at the beginning of the year before the Rumble and had Drew squash both Heath and Jinder up until the Rumble in a pure show of domination. Then at the Rumble I had him eliminate the most people and I've now booked him to be in the Elimination Chamber for the IC title in the next PPV. I probably won't put the title on him yet, but in like 2 or so months Drew went from a comedy act Opener to an Upper Midcarder that's an important part of show.

Blackman · April 19, 2017

I can't believe this. Jeremy Stone decided to fill up the empty HGC/TCW position and basically handed in his career (as he automatically signs a written deal with them). I wonder what he thinks he'll do there. I would've bought it if it was in Japan or some new performance-type company, but no... Realistically, this should never have happened. He was very happy too (which already took a lot of work given it's Jeremy frickin' Stone).

Too bad I can't undo this in the editor. Or can I? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

StrongStyle · April 19, 2017

It's late 1995 and the Undertaker just left the WWF due to a major scandal involving the mafia.

I signed him and will have him going over fan-favorite Roddy Piper, retiring an aging hotrod in a brutal casket match for the big gold belt. The other faces of WCW will be throwing themselves into the hellfire to stop the deadman. They will fail.

As each face of WCW falls, a formerly colorful hero will appear in the rafters, dressed in black and white, ready to battle the deadman in the hell that WCW has become....

The battle for the soul of WCW begins...

tizzyt · April 19, 2017

Just started a WCW 1997 game... An EXTREMELY toxic backstage area (0%), I decide to do a hardline stance and lose Hogan, Jimmy Hart, Knobbs and Warlord.

This should be a lot of fun to get the locker room back AND compete with Vince.

The Royal Rumble is in the books and The Rock has won his second rumble and is heading to main event Wrestlemania! We also crowned our first ever WWE United Kingdom Champion in Neville, who won a two night, 16 man tournament, defeating Finn Balor in the final, who had to fight uphill on Day 2 just to make it to the final 2.

RAW
Kevin Owens remains WWE Universal champion after defeating Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn in a triple threat at Rumble, thanks mainly due to Chris Jericho's interference on Zayn. This will set up Zayn vs Y2J for WWE Unforgiven, while KO will face Rollins.

After dropping the NXT Heavyweight title to Tomasso Ciampa, Samoa Joe has finally been called up to RAW full time. During his part time status, he claimed the ultimate scalp in defeating Brock Lesnar, but this only unleashed Lesnar's wrath. During a beatdown from Lesnar on Enzo & Big Cass, Joe looked to make the save on his first full time night, but instead unleashed hell on Enzo. Why has Joe sided with Lesnar and Paul Heyman? Will Heyman offer his services to Samoa Joe?

Ethan Carter III finds himself in a star making feud with Roman Reigns, while The Miz continues to retain his newly won United States title over Big E, thanks to Maryse. Four great cruiserweight tag teams fight over the WWE Tag Team titles, with champs Ricochet & Ospreay retaining at the Rumble over the recently called-up Roppongi Vice, The American Wolves and Motor City Machine Guns. Kenny Omega is your new WWE Cruiserweight champion, claiming the title off Jay Lethal in a triple threat with Kota Ibushi. Nia Jax continues her reign as WWE Women's champion, ending her feud with Bayley at the Rumble, while Karl Anderson is enjoying his first single's gold, defeating Shinsuke Nakamura for the AJPW Triple Crown, thanks to interference from Luke Gallows. What's next for the uncrowned RAW Bullet Club members in Gallows and Adam Cole?

CHAMPIONS: Universal - Kevin Owens; United States - The Miz; Women's - Nia Jax; Tag Team - Ricochet & Will Ospreay; Cruiserweight - Kenny Omega; AJPW Triple Crown - Karl Anderson.

SMACKDOWN
Bray Wyatt is your new WWE World Heavyweight champion, defeating Randy Orton at Over The Limit, then successfully retaining in a rematch at Royal Rumble. If Wyatt retains his title until Wrestlemania, he will face The Rock in the main event, in a rehash of their epic feud that lead to Wyatt claiming a World title shot (Wyatt defeated Rock in the main event of Elimination Chamber). This will be a hard task as Daniel Bryan will be announcing the first ever Smackdown Lethal Lottery! 32 randomly selected Smackdown superstars will be put into random tag teams for a tournament. The winning tag team can select either a WWE Smackdown Tag Team title shot, or face off one on one for a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Title!

One man who won't be in the Lethal Lottery is CM Punk. After losing his title to Orton at Survivor Series, Punk was angered to not have a spot in the Elimination Chamber as all 5 challenger spots were reserved for the winning Smackdown team at Survivor Series. Wyatt then beat him to the punch for Over The Limit, and Orton claimed his rematch for Royal Rumble. This angered Punk who confronted Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon, and he took his frustration out on other superstars during matches, and even decked Shane, causing him to be thrown out of the building on numerous occasions. As a result, his name was withdrawn from the Lottery as punishment, leaving him with no clear path to the main event of Wrestlemania and his WWE World title rematch. What is next for Punk?

Braun Strowman has shot to the stars despite only having 20 matches in 2017. He finds himself at 87 pop and has been thrust into a feud with The Undertaker that could culminate at Wrestlemania. Cody Rhodes reamins Intercontinental champ, defeating Kazuchika Okada thanks to AJ Styles to earn his third reign. Styles' actions resulted in Okada coming after the GHC and W-1 titles, and Okada claimed the titles at Over The Limit, and defended them in a triple threat against Styles and the returning Tetsuya Naito at Royal Rumble (Naito feuded with Okada in his arrival in June 2017, but was sent to developmental straight after to get his pop up. Now he's back!). Can Styles reclaim his double titles, or will Okada retain the titles until May's Invasion PPV in Japan?

Luke Harper and Erick Rowan are your Smackdown Tag Team champs, defeating American Alpha, The Young Bucks and Beer Money Inc. at Over The Limit for the Bucks' titles, then again at Royal Rumble. Could we see a mixture of the Bucks and Alpha as a team in the Lethal Lottery considering their blood feud since the Young Bucks' arrival in April 2017? Charlotte has claimed the Smackdown Women's title, making her the first women to not only win both brands' Women's titles, but to win both titles twice, defeating Asuka at Over The Limit and defending against Becky Lynch at the Rumble. With Neville the first ever WWE United Kingdom champion, GHC Junior Heavyweight champ Caristico finds himself without a worthy challenger. Who will step up to the plate? I can tell you that Noam Dar has earned a call up to the Smackdown roster, and the newly minted face has already taken Neville to the limit for the UK title, but can we see him make a name in the Junior division?

CHAMPIONS: World - Bray Wyatt; Intercontinental - Cody Rhodes; Smackdown Women's - Charlotte; Smackdown Tag Team - Luke Harper & Erick Rowan; GHC Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; W-1 Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; GHC Junior Heavyweight - Caristico.

Fast Lane has come and gone and four 97+ rated matches later, we are truely on our way to WRESTLEMANIA!

RAW

Sami Zayn is your new WWE Universal Champion! Zayn became a two time champion after defeating Kevin Owens at Fast Lane, defeating the man who ended his first reign in minutes due to Money in the Bank. It wasn't without controversy as both KO's running partner Chris Jericho and his ally Triple H stuck their nose where they shouldn't have, but RAW General Manager Mick Foley made things right, help Zayn leave with the Universal title. Due to this, tension between Commissioner Stephanie McMahon and Foley are at an all time high. The following night on RAW, Steph was with Mr McMahon and Triple about to fire Foley when Director of Talent Initiatives and Brand Expansion, Eric Bischoff, suggested a 5 vs 5 Winner Take All Match at Wrestlemania. Triple H will lead Team Steph with Jericho, Ethan Carter III, Batista and Samoa, while the likes of Enzo Amore, Big Cass, Katsuyori Shibata, Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns volunteered for Team Foley. Who will leave Wrestlemania with control of RAW?

Two truely deserving contenders faced off at Fast Lane for the #1 contendership, where Finn Balor defeated Adam Cole. With the controversy at Fast Lane, Balor will join Zayn and Owens in a fatal three way for the WWE Universal Title at Wrestlemania! The year prior, Balor defended the same title and defeated Seth Rollins and Shinsuke Nakamura. Will history repeat itself?

AJPW Triple Crown champion Shinsuke Nakamura is now feuding with then-WWE Cruiserweight champion Kenny Omega who claimed Nakamura left Japan to avoid Omega. Nakamura defeated Omega at Fast Lane by DQ due to interference from Smackdown's AJ Styles, but the next night on RAW, Nakamura cost Omega his Cruiserweight title to Cedric Alexander, who will now be the face of the division. Will Nakamura be able to continue to fend off Bullet Club as he defends his title?

Ricochet & Will Ospreay remain Tag Team champions, fending off Gallows & Anderson at Fast Lane, but now face the challenge of the latter team, Motor City Machine Guns and Sheamus & Rusev heading into Wrestlemania. Can the duo retain the titles on the biggest stage of them all?

Big E regained his US Title off The Miz despite Miz's efforts to retain the title on numerous occassions thanks to Maryse and his new alliance with The Prime Time Players. Will they settle it for good at Wrestlemania?

Nia Jax continues her dominant Women's title reign but will face Sasha Banks, Bayley, Candice LeRae, Paige and Alexa Bliss at the Show of Shows. Will her run continue?

CHAMPIONS: Universal - Sami Zayn (2); United States - Big E (2); Tag Team - Ricochet & Will Ospreay; Women's - Nia Jax; Cruiserweight - Cedric Alexander; AJPW Triple Crown - Shinsuke Nakamura (3).

SMACKDOWN

After a successful inaugural Lethal Lottery, the team of John Cena and Kazuchika Okada won the tournament, defeating Dolph Ziggler & Jeff Hardy in the final. Cena made it known to Okada that he was opting for the WWE World title shot, so the two faced off to open Fast Lane with Okada pulling off an upset. Okada would go on to a 99 rated match with Bray Wyatt later in the night but come up short. Bray Wyatt now goes to Wrestlemania's main event to defend against Royal Rumble winner, The Rock! Can Wyatt overcome The Rock once again or will he fall on the grandest stage?

Cena, looking to redeem himself, will now challenge Okada for both the GHC Heavyweight and W-1 Heavyweight titles at Wrestlemania, the latter of which he previously held, however former 2 and 3 time holder of each belt respectively, AJ Styles, made it known he wants both titles back. Who will walk out of Wrestlemania a double champion, Styles, Okada or Cena?

The drama between Daniel Bryan and CM Punk continues. After weeks of being denied his "rightful" WWE World title shot, Punk took it out on members of the Smackdown roster and eventually challenge Daniel Bryan to a match for his title shot. Knowing full well Daniel Bryan can't complete, Shane McMahon stepped in and accepted the challenge and faced Punk at Fast Lane. Punk would overcome McMahon but post-match lay a beat down on McMahon until Daniel Bryan finally accepted for a match at Wrestlemania! Bryan's uncertainty over his condition even saw Daniel try to orchestra a trade with RAW at the recent King of Trios tournament but Foley didn't want that trouble on his brand (not sure if Steph felt the same way, who could have fleeced Punk off Smackdown for cents on the dollar, despite her feelings towards Punk). Will Bryan gear up for Wrestlemania or will Punk expose Bryan for what he has become?

After a successful defense of the Intercontinental title by Cody Rhodes against his Lethal Lottery partner Dean Ambrose, Rhodes heads into Wrestlemania and will look forward to a ladder match with Ambrose, Jeff Hardy, Dolph Ziggler, Alberto Del Rio and Drew McIntyre. Can Cody keep the defenses going or will Bullet Club step in and help him out?

After avoiding a challenge from Lethal Lottery winners Cena and Okada, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan walk into Wrestlemania Smackdown Tag Team champs but will be faced with more than suitable challengers. American Alpha finally rid themselves of The Young Bucks in a 99 rated show stopper and will now challenge for the titles. However, two more teams lay claim to the titles in Beer Money Inc and Cesaro & Kassius Ohno. Bobby Roode & Ohno were teamed together in the Lethal Lottery, falling short to Cena & Okada in the final four, but both have gathered their normal partners and look to build on that success when they challenge the Wyatts at Wrestlemania.

Tyson Kidd is your new GHC Junior Heavyweight champion, defeating former champ Caristico and now-former-WWE United Kingdom champion Neville at Fast Lane. Will Caristico challenge for the title at Wrestlemania or will a new challenger step up? In other news, Charlotte remains Smackdown Women's champ but the likes of Asuka and Becky Lynch are nipping at her heels.

CHAMPIONS: World Heavyweight - Bray Wyatt; Intercontinental - Cody Rhodes (3); Smackdown Tag Team - Erick Rowan & Luke Harper; Smackdown Women's - Charlotte (2); GHC Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; W-1 Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; GHC Junior Heavyweight - Tyson Kidd.

OTHER WWE UNIVERSE HAPPENINGS

In events out of my control, Killian Dain defeated Neville for the WWE United Kingdom title at WPL Attack 18 (The monthly event of my Japanese developmental brand). The former Big Damo had just dropped the WWE PROGRESS Intercommonwealth title in PROGRESS (Another WWE brand), to non-WWE contracted talent James Davis, and was moved to WPL with a new name in preparation of his eventual move to the main roster post-Wrestlemania. Dain now looks like he'll be coming to the main roster with some gold over his shoulder.

A three night tournament has just taken place to crown the first-ever WWE Six Man Tag Team Champions! The tournament was held in conjunction with the former CHIKARA promotion, which was taken over by WWE, and saw 16 three-man teams compete to add to the legacy of the King of Trios tournament! Teams were permitted to be inter-brand, so stars from RAW, Smackdown and developmental were able to make a team and enter. Day 3 saw the semi finals of The Shield (Ambrose, Reigns, Rollins) defeated by The Club (Styles, Gallows, Anderson) thanks to members of Team Steph interferring. The other semi final saw the team of CHAOS (Nakamura, Okada, Ospreay) defeat The Dream Team (Omega, Matt Jackson, and Adam Cole replacing an Nick Jackson, who was injured at Fast Lane) to prevent an all-Bullet Club final. That didn't stop the Biz Cliz claiming the titles as The Club defeated CHAOS thanks to an attack from Omega on Nakamura, and preventing CHAOS from adding to their collection of gold.

WWE have severed ties with developmental brand Florida Championship Wrestling and created a new touring brand, Power of Wrestling. FCW have greatly benefited from their airing on the WWE Network but must now go it alone with a new roster but still with Cary Silkin in charge and Rikishi booking. The new POW brand will start very small in local markets, booked by Shane Douglas, but will see them bring in talent from other promotions to tour with the brand, along with those in the lower rungs of WWE's developmental system.

WWE have also announced the acquisition of both EVOLVE and PWG, which both will cease operations immediately. Like with CHIKARA, WWE will present one-off WWE Network specials as a final goodbye to both promotions' fans and to honour their legacy that lives on in WWE. One of the main driving forces behind the PWG purchase was the acquisition of the Battle of Los Angeles tournament and history, which will still be held yearly in September.

In other developmental news, Taurus aka Gran Guerrero has left CMLL and joined the ASTROS promotion (my Mexican developmental brand) and has joined up with Ultimo Guerrero, who just dropped the WWE Super Astros World title to Gran Metallik. Other signings to the WWE Universe include Shane Strickland and Jonathan Gresham, who will join the main NXT developmental brand, and a number of female Japanese stars to help strengthen the WPL's Joshi division. WPL are also happy to announce that Milano Collection AT has signed with WWE and will join Steve Corino at the announce booth for WPL in the coming weeks.

Henderson · April 20, 2017

WCW 1998 game and I'm now in May 1999.

I have given Meng a good run with the US title, rewarding him for a phenomenal Tag title run as the Faces of Fear. His momentum and match ratings stayed consistent and I always wanted Meng to have a good run. How does he repay me? He signs with the WWF when his contract came up. I actually withdrew from negotiations. He was making around $8,000, during negotiations I went up to $19,000. WWF countered and offered him around $29,000 and I wasn't going to come close to that. I was planning on him dropping the title anyway at Slamboree to Raven and was going to put him back with the Barbarian, probably winning back the titles along the way, so I couldn't justify spending that much on him to stay in tag team. He's in decline anyway.

I just retired the Cruiserweight title and ended the division. I was attempting to revitalize it. Had Rey win the title back and re-signed Juvi and was going to feud them. Juvi was still pissed from his prior firing and requested a release the week of the Spring Stampede where he was booked against Rey (and probably winning the title). I refused it and Juvi chose to sit out his contract. I then fired him. Instead I had a big multi-man match for the title where Rey retained. The next night on Nitro, I ran a nice angle where Bischoff (out of character) thanked the Cruiser alumni that I still have (Rey, Kidman, Psychosis, Malenko, Jericho) and announced the division was ending....But not before ending it like it began a few years ago, with Rey defending the title against Dean Malenko. Rey retained and the title was retired.

Goldberg is champion and feuding with Sting, although they're still friends. They keep trying to have a match with each other but keep getting interrupted, so they've been spending more time aligning with one another than fighting. Spring Stampede showed everyone coming out of the woodwork requesting a title match, so Sting was left out of a multi-man title match where Goldberg retained. Sting attempted to issue a challenge to Goldberg the next night on Nitro for the next PPV, Slamboree, but Scott Steiner interrupted and said he's never gotten his singles rematch for the title, and was inacting it for Slamboree. So once again, Sting has to wait for a title match. That will come at the Great American Bash, but there's going to be a big surprise for Sting after that match.

Chris Jericho is in the midst of a huge feud against Hollywood Hogan. Jericho and Hogan have been going back and forth with Hogan making his best attempts to avoid Jericho. Following this feud, I will transition into the beginning of a long Bret Hart/Hollywood Hogan feud. My plan for Jericho is to move into a world title program, but I'm getting pretty nervous. Jericho's contract is up and I'm battling the WWF for him. We both have maxed out our offers at a little more than $77,000 and he is seriously considering both contracts. I can't afford to lose Jericho, as I had already lost Eddie Guerrero at the beginning of the game when he walked out. The WWF picked him up and he's been doing jack-all since. I wish the AI would take into account what prior signees have been doing in promotions, because everyone the WWF has picked up, especially ones taken from me, has done absolutely nothing. If Jericho goes there, he'll sit and not even be used, and I'll be out one less future star. If Jericho signs with me, he'll be making even more than Hogan. I guess at that point I'd have to make him my Figurehead.

Bobby Roode & Ohno were teamed together in the Lethal Lottery, falling short to Cena & Okada in the final four, but both have gathered their normal partners and look to build on that success when they challenge the Wyatts at Wrestlemania. Tyson Kidd is your new GHC Junior Heavyweight champion, defeating former champ Caristico and now-former-WWE United Kingdom champion Neville at Fast Lane. Will Caristico challenge for the title at Wrestlemania or will a new challenger step up? In other news, Charlotte remains Smackdown Women's champ but the likes of Asuka and Becky Lynch are nipping at her heels. CHAMPIONS: World Heavyweight - Bray Wyatt; Intercontinental - Cody Rhodes (3); Smackdown Tag Team - Erick Rowan & Luke Harper; Smackdown Women's - Charlotte (2); GHC Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; W-1 Heavyweight - Kazuchika Okada; GHC Junior Heavyweight - Tyson Kidd. OTHER WWE UNIVERSE HAPPENINGS In events out of my control, Killian Dain defeated Neville for the WWE United Kingdom title at WPL Attack 18 (The monthly event of my Japanese developmental brand). The former Big Damo had just dropped the WWE PROGRESS Intercommonwealth title in PROGRESS (Another WWE brand), to non-WWE contracted talent James Davis, and was moved to WPL with a new name in preparation of his eventual move to the main roster post-Wrestlemania. Dain now looks like he'll be coming to the main roster with some gold over his shoulder. A three night tournament has just taken place to crown the first-ever WWE Six Man Tag Team Champions! The tournament was held in conjunction with the former CHIKARA promotion, which was taken over by WWE, and saw 16 three-man teams compete to add to the legacy of the King of Trios tournament! Teams were permitted to be inter-brand, so stars from RAW, Smackdown and developmental were able to make a team and enter. Day 3 saw the semi finals of The Shield (Ambrose, Reigns, Rollins) defeated by The Club (Styles, Gallows, Anderson) thanks to members of Team Steph interferring. The other semi final saw the team of CHAOS (Nakamura, Okada, Ospreay) defeat The Dream Team (Omega, Matt Jackson, and Adam Cole replacing an Nick Jackson, who was injured at Fast Lane) to prevent an all-Bullet Club final. That didn't stop the Biz Cliz claiming the titles as The Club defeated CHAOS thanks to an attack from Omega on Nakamura, and preventing CHAOS from adding to their collection of gold. WWE have severed ties with developmental brand Florida Championship Wrestling and created a new touring brand, Power of Wrestling. FCW have greatly benefited from their airing on the WWE Network but must now go it alone with a new roster but still with Cary Silkin in charge and Rikishi booking. The new POW brand will start very small in local markets, booked by Shane Douglas, but will see them bring in talent from other promotions to tour with the brand, along with those in the lower rungs of WWE's developmental system. WWE have also announced the acquisition of both EVOLVE and PWG, which both will cease operations immediately. Like with CHIKARA, WWE will present one-off WWE Network specials as a final goodbye to both promotions' fans and to honour their legacy that lives on in WWE. One of the main driving forces behind the PWG purchase was the acquisition of the Battle of Los Angeles tournament and history, which will still be held yearly in September. In other developmental news, Taurus aka Gran Guerrero has left CMLL and joined the ASTROS promotion (my Mexican developmental brand) and has joined up with Ultimo Guerrero, who just dropped the WWE Super Astros World title to Gran Metallik. Other signings to the WWE Universe include Shane Strickland and Jonathan Gresham, who will join the main NXT developmental brand, and a number of female Japanese stars to help strengthen the WPL's Joshi division. WPL are also happy to announce that Milano Collection AT has signed with WWE and will join Steve Corino at the announce booth for WPL in the coming weeks.</div></blockquote> This sounds like a really interesting save!

Golden Canvas Grappling: Modern, Japanese, Definitely Moving (Part 1 of 4)

Thur, 18 August, 2016

by Mittens Blurcat

Eight months after Haruki Kudo made the fateful decision to relinquish his booking duties, Golden Canvas Grappling has gone from strength to strength. The promotion had, by universal consensus, been a languishing husk of its former glory for more than twenty years. Although boasting a line up of talented wrestlers, and a rich and prestigious history, the promotion had been creatively bankrupt for a long time. For nearly two decades, their stars had been trading brilliant but perfunctory matches with one another - one would hold the title, then another would, and then another one. Former CEO Hanshiro Furusawa's decision to join the Modern Japan Movement spelled, to many, the death knell for the promotion, with the legendary Yoshifusa Maeda breaking away to form Black Canvas Grappling. When news broke that Haruki Kudo had appointed a new booker for his promotion - the 'Grand Avatar', a man of Swiss origin and secretive demeanor - posters on internet message boards around the world rubbed their hands together in glee.

Instead, Golden Canvas Grappling has embraced its modern moniker. Eight months on, at the conclusion of 'Revolution Resolution' in August, the head booker's transformation of the company is at hand. He has assembled and arranged his pieces, and now it seems he is ready to play. At Blurcat, we have assembled the following analysis, split into four parts, of the head booker's decisions in the last eight months. As he is unable to be reached for interview (or even a picture) some of what follows is necessarily speculation.

Part 1, Stable Warfare

When Mabuchi Furusawa won the newly minted GCG Uprising tournament title at 'Road to the Golden Kingdom' in June - guaranteeing him a title shot at 'The Golden Kingdom' in July - he announced at the press conference that 'Golden Canvas Grappling is not a one man's game anymore. It seems as though the last five years has seen no new challengers to the title. A new effort is required. Myself, [Toshiharu] Hyobanshi and [Razan] Okamoto will make that effort. We are UPRISING.'

It seems that the head booker had been planning for some time to organize his workers in stables, as an extra press conference was called swiftly to announce the founding of four stables in the company.

The Tribunal - 'Stability is what is required. We must stay the course.'

Haruki Kudo (Owner)

Hiroyasu Gakusha (ME)

Kiminobu Kuroki (ME)

Shingen Miyazaki (UM)

Sozen Ishimori (UM, Tag Team Title) [With Stone Yoshikawa as 'The Rolling Stones']

Stone Yoshikawa (M, Tag Team Title)

Harumi Okazawaya (UM) [With Lion Genji as 'Dojo Okazawaya)

Lion Genji (LM)

The establishment stable - the owner organizing his most loyal employees into a stable dedicated to tradition and maintaining the status quo.

UPRISING - 'Once the snake has bitten, there is no cure.'

Toshiharu Hyobanshi (ME)

Mabuchi Furusawa (ME)

Razan Okamoto (UM, Openweight Title)

Yoshinaka Taka (M) [With Toshinobu Taka as father and son]

Toshinobu Taka (LM)

Azumamaro Shimizu (M) [With Dynamite Narashi as 'TNT']

Dynamite Narashi (LM)

The anti-establishment stable, with Hyobanshi leading the charge for modernization.

The Waste Land - 'To Carthage then I came, burning burning burning burning.'

SUKI (ME) (World Heavyweight Title)

Takayuki 2000 (ME)

Eagle Kawasawa (UM)

Morimasa Kato (M) [With Hitomaru Suzuki as 'Immortal Technique']

Fujio Narahashi (M)

Munemitsu Senmatsu (M) [With Fujio Narahashi]

Fujio Narashi (LM)

Omezo Shikitei (O)

The legitimate stable - tough, skilled, with an unwavering belief in the law of the jungle and their own strength.

((Yes, I did steal the stable name and the quote from Eliot's poem.))

No Wings of Fire - 'Like a human heart struggling and beating.'

Eien Miyamoto (ME)

Greg Gauge (UM)

Totoya Munakata (UM)

Yasuhide Tamaya (UM)

Rhino Umaga (M)

Findlay O'Farraday (M) [With Tornado Nagai as 'The Outsiders']

Tornado Nagai (M)

The outsider stable - No Wings of Fire contains gaijin, main eventers who built their name outside of GCG, and the workers who were considered too small to make a serious run in the company before.

((Stable name and quote shamelessly stolen from Blake's Book of Urizen.))

The head booker's intentions to seriously revolutionize and reorganize Golden Canvas Grappling were realized last week, when SUKI defeated Gakusha at 'Revolution Resolution' for the belt and brought it back to The Waste Land. With this title change, it seems as though GCG wanted to announce that its intentions and aspirations were neither small nor temporary.

Stay tuned for part 2 - where we discuss the resurrection of the tag team division.

Grfcboy95 · April 20, 2017

So WCW Sin 2002 is in the books and we're moving forward already to WCW SuperBrawl. A lot happened on this card, both singles Titles changed hands and i'm thinking about introducing a TV title to replace the retired Cruiserweight title. here is the card, Winners bolded and babyfaces first, like always. Hopefully someone enjoys reading these like i do everyone elses.

Locker Room Leaders© Vs Stasiak & Jindrak for the WCW Tag Team Titles. Good opening match. Again went for the retain for the babyfaces. I like Jindrak, Stasiak not so much. He seems to get a negative review from the top guys after every show. I'll keep persevering with the tag team until Jindrak gets a bit better and more over for his eventual face off with backstage mentor DDP. Rating 78.

Shane Helms Vs Shane Douglas © for the WCW United States Title. Had Helms go over and win the US title. He's one of the many NBT I have on the roster right now. I don't have a clear picture in my head for his character like Cena or CM Punk though, because the real life Hurricane gimmick isn't something i want to do if he's going to be a serious main event player. Anyway any young talent right now needs to be pushed so he wins in a solid match. Rating 72

Diamond Dallas Page Vs Kanyon . Last match in their heated feud. Originally apart of the US title picture, Kanyon blamed DDP for their loss in the triple threat match and repeatedly attacked DDP on Nitro after. Kanyon went over because he has a longer future with the company and DDP has been replaced in the main event babyface side by people like Rob Van Dam. Rating 85.

Ric Flair Vs Eric Bischoff in an I quit match. Felt like i had to blow off Flair and Bischoff's slow burn feud with a match before i move Flair into the gatekeeper role. Initially he destroyed Bischoff until his cronies Jarrett and Bagwell intervened. Flair found a way however to get rid of them, pushing them in a cart off the ramp before putting the figure four on Bischoff, who knew had no choice now but to quit. Rating obviously wasn't going to be amazing, but it did ok. Rating 62.

Ernest Miller Vs CM Punk. Miller is the midcard babyface jobber. He put over Cena and Punk in their first proper feuds. Nothing special here, Punk is on a crusade to rid WCW of its partying wrestlers. Miller was his first target, who was attacked by Punk's new bodyguard, Samoa Joe, giving Punk the victory when the ref was distracted. Rating 63.

Rick Steiner Vs Scott Steiner. Rick returned on the Nitro after Starrcade, attacking Scott and turning babyface officially after being put on the shelf by Scott after their triple threat match Vs Booker T at Mayhem. A personal feud between brothers is where Scott is staying for now as i'm waiting for him to pop for roids again. As i've mentioned in many posts before, i can't trust Scott in the title picture again for a while, despite him being a very valuable member of the roster. I don't really have a grand plan for Rick so he probably won't get much in the way of wins either. Rating 83.

Sting Vs John Cena. Sting handed Cena his first ever loss in WCW. I didn't plan on Cena having a win streak it just happened. But i didn't want it to become a big thing (although he may have an Undertaker like record throughout his career at Starrcade, if the save lasts a long time). The match did ok, Cena needs to improve his top row stats, but he's coming on very well in promos and overness. Hoping the match ratings in the next outing can go up a bit. Rating 75.

Rob Van Dam Vs Booker T© Vs Kevin Nash for the WCW World Championship. Rob Van Dam is the new WCW champion. He and Nash both won their feuds at Starrcade and were looking for a shot at the title. They did have a number 1 contenders match but Nash baited Booker T into interrupting the match and getting himself a DQ victory. The match was made to a triple threat because of that. The rating surprised me and did very well, despite protecting Nash and Booker. RVD will go on to feud more with Nash, Booker will drop down the card a bit as punishment for steroid use and feud with Jeff Jarrett and Lex Luger, alongside DDP. Rating 90.

the upcoming card will look something like this.

RVD Vs Nash

Luger and Jarrett Vs Booker and DDP

Helms Vs Douglas III

Cena Vs Sting II

Scott Vs Rick II (probably a last man standing)

Flair Vs Kanyon (Kanyon hopefully gets a rub from Flair excellant psych and basics)

Dustin Rhodes Vs Buff Bagwell

Locker Room Leaders Vs Stasiak and Jindrak III (ladder match)

michael20001 · April 20, 2017

Due to drugs/alcohol putting an end to the Hardcore Invasion i would have run through to the end of 2001 , i had to use KOTR in June to plant the seeds for sides in my new plan. McMahon vs McMahon for the last time, get that out of the way. Shane as a face taking over the WWE from a heel McMahon

I had Christian turn on Edge one day earlier than real life, although fitting the same circumstances. Leaving an Edge vs Christian feud

The Dudleyz started their lean towards heel status , beginning to push around Spike, while the Hardyz are now the no.1 Face tag team, in what will be the last time these teams feud for the foreseeable future.

I have finally balanced my main event the way i want it, with Undertaker (face) indicating his loyalty to Shane after a few weeks of teasing it, Kurt already turned on Vince to become face after he was put 3rd behind the two man power trip in Vince's mind.

So as things shake out right now

Shane's camp:

The Undertaker (WWF Champion)

The Rock (returning in two weeks)

Kurt Angle

Edge

The Hardyz

Vincent Morley (Val Venis, the IC Champion)

Lita

The New-ish Corporation:

Steve Austin

Triple H

Chris Jericho

Christian

The Dudleyz

William Regal

Trish Stratus

At some point Brock Lesner will push into the story, as i want Heyman involved as some kind of neutral party, possibly with Tommy Dreamer & Sabu (the only guys from my planned hardcore faction not suspended or in rehab) although he won't be featured (he is busy killing all of my lower card workers i don't plan on keeping)

He reacted positively and gained morale from it! So i'm really hoping that means he comes back clean. It does mean that the build to the Steiner Brothers match is for nothing and will essentially disappear from TV now. Rey Misterio just went to muscular as well, meaning he now has 80 SQ, up from 69. He's possibly the best worker in the world right now too, except for his psych which is slowly building up (76 at the moment). So he may be in line for a push.

DomNWO · April 20, 2017

So I've been doing a 96 save for a while now. I'm now in July of 97. Here's a little thing on the happenings of the save with WCW/WWF.

Synopsis:

I let Nash/Hall go like the did in real life. Would have liked to keep Hall but he had a drinking problem I didn't want to deal with at all.

The world title scene has been the same 3 guys for the most part but it's now beginning to diversify. After close to a year long feud between basically main event faces vs The New Hart Foundation, it finally ended with a poorly heated feud killed off a few months ago (dunno why it suddenly dropped, it was hovering at a B+ for the longest time). Owen basically went crazy and took out Bret for a month or so, being fired and coming back as the Blue Blazer (we'll encounter him later too. Bret/Owen/Austin have been in the main title scene for a while, but a surprise win on Raw hotshots Kane into main event status following his Taker feud ending, which may reignite the feud.

Oh yeah and I stole Sting from WCW and he's in this feud too. It's eventually gonna be a corporation vs others type of deal, where the Vince/Austin rivalry starts for my save.

http://i.imgur.com/gpAfRso.png

IC title scene is rich with talent right now. It's basically being used to hotshot guys into upper mid/main event status, doing so with Mankind, Taka, and DDP (oh yeah, WCW didn't want DDP, so I was able to get him without a struggle.) On the note of DDP, is definitely not as good of a worker as he was in his prime, of course this is based in Jan of 96 so this makes some sense, but he never developed into the worker I wanted him to be. Consistent C's made me not really want to push him. Goldust has been my gatekeeper of the division, capable of getting A's on the mic and in the ring. He'll get a world title one day, I swear.

Also quick note on HBK: he was a part of the world title stuff for a while, but I personally had nothing for him until recently due to him not wanting to turn heel (I want DX, dammit), and he's now gonna feud with Rocky Maivia and the NOD, soon over the IC title, I think. I was somehow able to keep him after he asked for his release, and I'm glad to be using him again.

http://imgur.com/Y0EHWAV

Other stuff is going on too right now. The slow rise of HHH is beginning to come about, as he's in a feud with Scott (and Rick too I guess) Steiner. I want to turn Scott into Big Poppa Pump, but the numbers don't lie, I just don't have many faces right now, so for now he stays a face. Regal just debuted and is in a storyline with Blue Blazer. Regal's gonna win this one at Summerslam and I'll probably put Blazer in a tag team.

Other titles: Tag team titles have been kinda there, not really been a focus for me. The most I've used them for is the push of Sudden Impact, mainly Jericho, and Lance has taken his rightful place back in my midcard (sorry dude, I can't do anything with you at the main event level.) Jericho is in a temporary team with Curt Hennig and they have the belts. I want to keep him heel to feud with the returning face Bret. Even when he was kicked out of the HF I kept him heel because I wanted this feud to happen (and possibly because I just don't want face Jericho like anytime before 2000). Also I used the titles to help out the pop of the Nation of Domination (D'Lo, Mark Henry, Rocky). So sad WCW stole Faarooq, he's one of my boys and I was gonna push him hard like I did in one of my old saves.

Lightweight title was introduced in Feb. of 1997. Taka was the first champ and I got it off of him to push Candido a bit. Not much else there.

Hardcore title was brought in with Shotgun Saturday Night. It's defended almost weekly there. Blackjack Bradshaw, Gangrel, Savio Vega, Finlay, and Rey Mysterio Jr. have been my champs.

Women's title was reintroduced recently too. My international size (which I was recently downsized from) let me sign some joshi women. My champs have been Chyna and Bull Nakano (sidenote, Chyna has horrible chemisty with HHH. I cry.)

Quick note on KOTR: Past 2 winners were The Ringmaster and Chris Jericho.

Other news:

I have 3 shows right now. Raw, which is now 2 hours. I also went in and made Nitro 2 hours to compete. Raw went live on Mondays every week when I started, as I just liked that better. Superstars was cancelled right before Shotgun was introduced. Friday Night's Main Event is my main B show, which I've made live every friday night, and will continue until Smackdown becomes a thing, I'd assume.

WCW has one new show. A B show, WCW Destruction.

Bam Bam was WCW world champ. Let me repeat. BAM BAM WAS A WCW WORLD CHAMP. This game is great.

Anyway, that's it for me, for now. If you for whatever reason want to know anything else about what's happened so far feel free to ask.

Vince McMahon died in a drug related death, Stephanie McMahon took his place(hmmm)

Sin City Rumble, held every year in Las Vegas(as a symbolic time of year) basically our rumble is like Royal Rumble with winner getting title shot at our big event Revolutionary War, but when the final four are left in the ring, it becomes a fatal fourway elimination match(pinfall and submission are the finish (Pretty sure you cant make a match like it in the game so thats where my imagination plays into it)

Winner of 2017 Sin City Rumble: Jay Lethal(goes by the name of J.R. Lethal since we had a lot of Jays on our roster between him, Jay Briscoe, Jay Bradley..)

The title matches were the shows undercard and they were all outstanding in their own rights!

Ryback© vs Kenny Omega Revolution Championship: actually got a 90-rating. Kenny Omega came out on top in a surprising victory over the dominant 3-month reigning champion.

In a triple threat ladder match, the undefeated Brandon Gatson retained the GATSON Championship(he renamed our International championship as such) defeated Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards. 87-rating

Madison Rayne© vs Taya Valkyrie for Women's Championship, Madison proves she's a fighting champion by retaining

Motor City Machines Guns vs. Johnny Mundo© and Tommy Mercury© for Universe Tag Team Championships: the lowest rated match, but not too bad just not classic with a 74 rating, Johnny Mundo and Tommy Mercury retained

redhilleagle · April 22, 2017

I've just started playing the new 1992 mod by justtxyank, which is a dream by the way. '92 was the year I first started watching Wrestling.

I'm one PPV away from Wrestlemania VIII and I've made a few changes, although much of the card will probably remain the same.

I had Sid Justice win the Royal Rumble (and therefore the WWF Title), as I want Flair to go over Hogan at WM, and I'll have Savage beat Sid for the belt. I plan to keep much of the rest the same, with Bret winning the IC title from Piper, but going forward into Summerslam, Bret will keep the IC belt a little longer, I'll be delaying his run with the World Title until a year or so.

At SS '92 I'll have Warrior beat Savage for the title, only for flair to win it at Royal Rumble '93, setting up a Savage v Flair Wrestlemania IX main event (Savage will win Royal Rumble 1993), as let's face it, WM9 was awful IRL.

Hogan doesn't feature much as I'm fed up with his "Creative Control" and the sooner I can cut him, the better (Not sure if this mod will have him leave after WM8 as in real life).

Not much going on in the Tag Team division either, they're just kind of there, although I am trying to book as true to life, but finding it difficult with Certain wrestlers playing games......I'm talking to you Hawk.

Jack Avatar Fan · April 22, 2017

80. I currently have 80 active wrestlers in my strong International TCW save. It's best if I don't count the number in development. Let's just say that I have two full touring companies and I welcome the day when my inbox isn't spammed by flabby developmental workers.

My solution is to devote my B-show to a lesser brand full of old midcarders and those projects you immediately sign when you get to international.

Also, I just pillaged NOTBPW and while it's nice to have Sean McFly around to be Rocky Golden's buddy, I have no real plans for Erik Strong, Duane Stone and Jared Johnson other than "be good in the ring and enjoy being overpaid". Steve DeColt is in a deep decline and I enough good talkers that it's much more fun to imagine Alex DeColt trying to make nice.

I'm hoping that taking old man Dark Angel from 21CW will be the push that will get them to fall to Cult and let me buy back Tommy Cornell for five million dollars, while soaking in the popularity and event prestige.

I'm nearly National in Mexico and looking forward to Champagne Lover's contract coming up so that I can win that battle. Before anyone mentions Khoklov, it turns out that he's a giant, toxic homophobe. The nice thing about releasing him is that I have a place for Gargantuan's rocket push.

The main issue with a bloated roster is deciding how I can juggle brand specific PPVs twice a month. Then I think about making each show 4 hours long. I'll probably do nothing and keep running 30-man battle royals in the pre-show to keep people happy.

My other issue is that I keep stockpiling high star quality. You could call it hoarding. Now, I don't have a problem with the logic of the National Battle system. The booker who protects their biggest stars and makes the right decisions wins.

My issue is that I like pushing Sam Keith's twins, but I have to keep them as workhorse tag team champions even if they pump out MOTYC candidates, and this is because they're not likely to star in a comedy with Zac Efron. Ross Henry is a sweetheart of a guy, but he won't ever have the star quality of Rocky Golden so I need to keep him in the upper-mid so that Rocky isn't in the slightest overshadowed. I mean, I have to consider flippin' High Flyin' Hawaiian a future main event prospect because El Mitico Jr is nine points lower in star quality.

Also, USPW and SWF haven't challenged me in...a long time. They don't even bother to make a splash with their millions saved up, and keep churning out a product far inferior to mine. At what point would their fans tune in and get attached to a competitor, or just lose interest in Jack Bruce and get tired of Joey Morgan not taking the next step? It's like they're fans of a mediocre sports franchise when there are superior options that aren't just on TV, but come to their town in the largest stadiums and with the best production.

I'd like for former national companies to suffer more, especially in the case of the SWF and BHOTWG variety. In the lore of Cornellverse, we get the stories of the former giants being reduced to weaker, perhaps more regional promotions. OLLIE, GCG, CGC, and others decayed over time from mismanagement, or being left behind by more aggressive competitors and thinking that everything was fine. I'd like Eisen's SWF, stuck in 1999, to feel the same. I'd like BHOTWG to have another worker revolt as half of the roster never gets to work or advance (KC Glenn had only one match in Burning Hammer before he came to my TCW game, and that was only after I signed him).

Anyways, I love the game, will continue to love the series and I'll figure out how to juggle all of my workers, storylines and television contracts as I approach the opportunity to build my own commercial station.

Made a NXT style brand for my SWF save and booking those shows has been a blast. I wish I could just book these shows and forget about supreme since I've hit a wall there. I named the show Next Era Wrestling or NEW (creative I know) and filled it full of the top guys from Developmental and some top Indy guys with the goal being that once they reach somewhere between mid and upper Midcard by auto push I'll kick them over to the main roster.

Here's my show logo for anyone interested

Just finished booking 2021 with Impact, booked what was probably my favourite Bound for Glory show so far, despite a few spanners thrown into the works in the build up. I had a card in mind well before the show, but about 3 months before it a few things happened which dramatically changed the show.

My plan for the show was it to be built around The Decay all turning heel a few months prior, before winning all the belt possible. Abyss and Crazzy Steve would win the tag titles a few months before BFG, Rosemary would beat Allie to win the Knockouts at the show, Jimmy Havoc would beat AJ Styles to win the World title, and someone I hadn't decided upon at the time would win a ladder match to become X Division champion. About a month or two before though, things really fell apart with that plan.

It started with Abyss picking up an injury days before they were set to win the tag titles from Motor City Machine Guns. It ruled him out of BFG, which was an annoyance but nothing major, just was going to delay them winning the belts for a while and have Havoc replace him in that match. Afterwards I went to turn them all heel, sadly Rosemary was rather upset at the thought of turning heel, and didn't want to risk her being upset going into BFG as I planned to have her and Allie main event the show.

Didn't really think the whole, "We're taking over the show" story would work with a face group, so had to rethink most my plans. Decided to delay Havoc winning the title a bit, as I didn't want to turn AJ heel. Gave it to Aiden English instead, but will probably give it to Havoc in the next month or so. With Rosemary I just turned Allie heel instead. Wasn't something I wanted to do, but I've done pretty much everything I possibly could with her as a face, so it was probably for the best.

Few other spanners were thrown into the works, Cedric Rougeau picked up an injury that kept him out of the show, leaving Uhaa Nation without a story heading into the show. Finally noticed Samoa Joe had left WWE like a year ago, so signed him up and rushed him into a feud with Havoc, and Jon Moxley's scandal finally blew over, so signed him up and rushed him into a feud with Tanahashi, but Tanahashi decided to turn with wasted on painkillers the show after BFG, so he has been released before the feud could end properly.

Heading into the new year, I actually don't have a clue what I'm going to do now. Planning a year long EC3/Moxley feud, and going to pull the trigger on either Havoc or Gargano at some point, but other than that I haven't got a clue what I'm doing. Added a brand split and added a Knockouts Only show, so will probably go with the flow with the women. Tempted to add another brand for the males, but will wait until I've built up another 2 or 3 people I think.

We have just entered June 1999 in my WWF, using the Art of War mod.

The King of the Ring has come and gone and it was a great show, blowing the expectations out of the water.

The night opened with the semifinals of the KOTR. Mankind got past Billy Gunn with the assistance of Ken Shamrock as the Corporation continues to punish DX. The recently debuted Chris Jericho got past X-Pac after X-Pac was distracted by his former mentor HHH.

Raven continued to wreck havoc by defeating Al Snow and Hardcore Holly to retain his Hardcore title.

Owen Hart defeated long-time nemesis The Godfather, his partner Val Venis, and Owen's own partner Jeff Jarrett in a fatal-4 match to retain his Intercontinental championship.

The Rock and HHH retained their tag team titles by defeating Road Dogg and Kane (since their usual partners were competing in the semis) and the Acolytes.

Jericho defeated Mankind to win the King of the Ring after Shane McMahon attacked him, was Jericho just lucky or is he a member of the Corporation?

In the main event, Shawn Michaels held on to his world heavyweight title after defeating Stone Cold and Undertaker in a triple threat match.

Current Champions:

European: Ken Shamrock

Hardcore: Raven

Intercontinental: Owen Hart

Light Heavyweight: Christian

Tag Team: The Rock and Triple H

World Heavyweight: Shawn Michaels

Luna Vachon and Paul Wight are both serving suspensions. Got tired of Luna bullying others, Wight was suspended after nearly starting a fight with Gerald Brisco.

Goldust is in rehab for 6 months following showing up wasted on drugs for the 2nd time in a month.

Gave Fredrique Antonio Garcia a highlight reel show.

Fredrique Antonio Garcia's Hanging Around Greatness Show

I'm proud of it and not proud of it at the same time.

Brilliant.
