The Tournament bracket is official. It's CM Punk vs. KENTA, Devitt vs. Moxley, Cody vs. Dustin, and Kenny Omega vs. Chris Jericho III. Brit Baker and Ace Romero punch their ticket to the Women's and TV tournament fields respectively. JR debuts and has AWFUL chemistry with Excalibur... but the Von Erich's have excellent chemistry tagging. And I'm an idiot and flip-flopped angles.

Punk, Devitt, Cody, and Omega advance, one more added to Women's and TV title field. Morgan KOs Dustin on accident, after a wild brawl leaves both bloody. And Omega pins Jericho clean in the middle, Devitt gets some outside help from Ace Romero and in the battle of the GTS the match builds up to KENTA going for it but Punk reverses into the Vice for the tap. Also big .7 rating increase makes me a very hap.</p><p> </p><p>

Next up: 4 weeks of TV and October Event to be named later.</p>

One of my favorite mods next to the WCW Lives! 2001 mod. Just mainly because of the time periods and all the "what ifs" you can play out.<p> </p><p> My current storylines are...</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Vader vs. Hulk Hogan</strong></p><p> Vader is my "flavor of the month" for Hogan, Vader just came off a dominant story against the Guardian Angel, whom I had given a kayfabe injury, and then a few months off while I figure out how to repackage him. Hogan just "Retired" Ric Flair in a steel cage match at Clash of the Champions. I ended up giving Ric a few months off so that way I can build some new top heels, and move him to more of an "attraction" role. This match however will be my headliner for Halloween Havoc.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>The Steiners vs. Pretty Wonderful</strong></p><p> I brought back The Steiners to beef up my very shallow tag division. They are basically using Pretty Wonderful as something to do right now while I finish out another Storyline that involves the Tag Championships.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Sting vs. Jean-Paul Levesque</strong></p><p> Using my star power of Sting really to try and move Levesque up the card. Also killing two birds with one stone here and getting ready for Sting to dethrone "Stunning" Steve Austin of the US Championship. I need to free up Austin since my current plan for him is too have him Main Event Starrcade against Hogan.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Harlem Heat vs. Cactus Jack/Kevin Sullivan</strong></p><p> Harlem Heat just beat Cactus and Sullivan at the Clash for the WCW World Tag Team Championship. This is also killing two birds with one stone as my long term plan is to have Harlem Heat vs. The Steiners at Starrcade as well as have Cactus Jack turn on Sullivan which will lead into a wild brawl at Starrcade as well.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Brian Pillman vs. Lord Steven Regal</strong></p><p> Honestly this feud was born by a "great chemistry" note I got on a random match I had them in on a pre-show. I was looking for a way to get the Worlds Television Championship off of Regal so he could move on to work Sting for the US Championship. Brian Pillman was a perfect fit, the only problem is I am not sure where to take Pillman from here as a majority of my heels are going to be tied up for Starrcade, might have to try and shoot Eddie Guerrero up the card quickly before then to slide into the antagonist role?</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Arn Anderson vs. Bobby Eaton</strong></p><p> This was booked just out of pure fun, Arn Anderson is a babyface right now, but that wont last long. And I also wanted to get Bobby Eaton some more TV time and give him a bit of a push because I like him and he'd be a good solid hand as a "Flavor of the Month" for my champion babyfaces.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I tend to plan things out a few months in advance, and so far my Starrcade cards looks stacked.</p><p> </p><p> I plan on having Austin beat Hogan for the WCW World Championship, and have him go on a reign of terror with the returning Ric Flair, and newly turned heel Arn Anderson. I've also been kicking around the idea of adding Jean-Paul Levesque to that group, but changing his name and character. I also currently have Dustin and Dusty Rhodes in a Tag Team, but my plan is to turn Dustin heel and possibly align him with Ric, Arn, Austin, and Levesque.</p><p> </p><p> My current Starrcade 94' Card looks like this so far...</p><p> </p><p> WCW World Heavyweight Championship</p><p> Steve Austin vs. Hulk Hogan</p><p> </p><p> WCW United States Championship</p><p> Lord Steven Regal vs. Sting</p><p> </p><p> WCW World Tag Team Championship</p><p> The Steiners vs. Harlem Heat</p><p> </p><p> WCW World Television Championship</p><p> Brian Pillman vs. Possibly Eddie Guerrero???</p><p> </p><p> No Holds Barred/Falls Count Anywhere</p><p> Cactus Jack vs. Kevin Sullivan</p><p> </p><p> Bullrope Match or Bunkhouse Brawl</p><p> Dustin Rhodes vs. Dusty Rhodes</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Interesting. What made you give Austin such a strong push so early? Has he won the TV or US title?</p>

<p>SummerSlam 2002 is in the books.</p><p> </p><p>

Chris Jericho has won the I/C title and ended Christian's 10 month reign.</p><p>

This was a face vs face match, but both were intent on beating the other after a few non-decisions on RAW</p><p> </p><p>

The Dudleyz regained their Tag Titles from Big Show and RVD. This was a 4-corners match that also featured Booker T & Dustin Rhodes in one corner, Stevie Richards & Val Venis in the other. </p><p>

(The next night on RAW, Booker and Dustin agreed to wrestle singles matches for some time before re-teaming)</p><p> </p><p>

Edge defeated William Regal in a submission match, confirming his spot as the "King" of Pro Wrestling. (To be clear - Edge won 2001 KOTR, but Lesnar won in 2002. Edge being Edge is not letting the title go....)</p><p> </p><p>

Undertaker defeated White Angel Christopher Daniels when OVW's Leviathan interfered. (Leviathan has not been brought up from OVW yet, but we borrow him periodically when we need to call upon his meanness...)</p><p> </p><p>

Scott Steiner defeated Billy Gunn in a chain match. Kevin Nash and Ric Flair tried to distract Steiner, and after the match Kurt Angle ran down to Scott's aid.</p><p> </p><p>

In the Main Event, The Rock won the World Title from HHH in a Triangle match that also featured Brock Lesnar. Lesnar was pinned, and HHH went NUTS on both Rocky and VINCE! (this set up Vince's face turn on RAW the next night)</p><p> </p><p>

In all, it was a loaded show and open the doors to some new match ups in Autumn leading to Survivor Series....</p>

I put him over Steamboat in their feud, and he's just been beating everyone left and right. </p><p> </p><p> That and I see him as the future of WCW, I have a ton of babyfaces lined up for him that he can get good matches out of.</p><p> </p><p> Besides my other current crop of Heels or guys to turn heel in the Main Event scene are guys I just don't see getting the mileage out of them that I can with Austin.

One of the most underrated talents, especially considering how big he was. Once booked him to beat Hogan on the first Nitro to show that anything can happen on a live television show. Only held it to the next PPV where he lost it to Sting.</p><p> </p><p> Mostly just to get the belt from Hogan to Sting without them feuding.</p>

[TheGhost]

<p>I will agree that he is an under rated talent. But as far as a World Champion with a monster push? I just don't see it.</p><p> </p><p>

He's like a Bobby Eaton, great hand, and a guy you can use in a pinch as a "flavor of the month" for your Champions. And even use him like you did as a transitional champion, but as for putting the company on his back? No</p>

Likely Jericho's final moment as a bonified main event wrestler and he did not disappoint. He's in full time decline, but he put Omega over, the 2 match feud has Omega hovering just below B+(he started like B- I think?) in the US which is <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />, Mercedes Martinez is in the women's field Cody is really getting it from all angles at the moment, and this Joey Ryan-Page storyline is probably gonna get me booted off TV. Does anybody have any ideas for the next PPV name?</p>

[dude-1981]

<p>It's all about one match really.</p><p> </p><p>

The main event of Supreme Challenge 41.</p><p> </p><p>

Wolf Hawkins © vs Tommy Cornell.</p><p> </p><p>

Teacher vs pupil. It writes itself. Cornell is the face and won the rumble. Hawkins turned on his mentor. </p><p> </p><p>

Hoping for an A* match.</p><p> </p><p>

Another fun one on that card will be Ross Henry vs Des Davids. These two have been a team for years. 3 times champs. And Davids turned on Henry.</p>

Decided on the next show name, AEW Under The Gun is 3 weeks away, which will have Cody vs. Devitt and Punk vs. Omega headlining, and probably the first round of the tag-tournament now that I've got 10 credible tag-teams on the roster. We'll finish up filling up spots for the Women's and TV tournaments with the women starting at the Nov. Event, AEW Showdown, which will feature the finals of that tournament and likely the semis of the tag tournament. The TV title is going to be exclusive to Elite, and so all of those matches will be on TV. need a couple of more girls and TV title combatants so, any suggestions would be taken under advisement.</p>

In the cverse it takes forever to go from regional to cult. And even at cult it takes forever to have a broadcaster willingly negotiate with you. I am PSW with 47 pop/importance at Tri state and 30 at mid atlantic. I think in a year or so I'll make cult, but my popularity everywhere else will be around 10 at most.

[Matt_Black]

<p>Yeah, PSW is a bad example. By contrast, you can get to Cult with QAW in roughly two years, if you do weekly shows or more, and then you qualify for Canal Dos as long as you can meet the production requirements.</p><p> </p><p>

And that's for American companies. OLLIE and 5SSW can both get on TV right out of the gate, and you can easily take either one to Cult status in less than a year.</p>

I made it more similar to TCW than what DAVE was. My roster has changed with only Acid II, Ash Campbell, Logan Wolfsbaine, and Madman Boone as remaining from PSW.

I am not trying to rush to national, as I want to build roster so I don't lose national battles. I was wondering what people do for broadcasting.</p>

Sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and stick with the storyline. Turned out better than I thought, worried the match would do worse. The big news is Moxley hurt Sammy and he's out for 3mos, so poof his TV title spot, Sky wins his way in, I've got Cornette his 6 contracts, but who will he use them on? Is this the end for Adam Page? What do I have planned for Daria, and will Joey Ryan get his mojo back? Find out on Impact.</p>

[watermelonman]

<p>Playing APW after around 18 months into my save and I’ve reached 50 pop across all regions in Australia. I’ve stole Issac Taylor, Brodie Lachlan, Dastardly, and raided ZeN and DIW for a few others. Very close to cult size. And I’ve been running a TV show on the bloke Channel for 12 of the 18 months with a weekly event that’s also televised on channel 3 each week.</p><p>

The weird thing is though I created an alliance out of pure curiosity with about 6 companies , the alliance paid me over $1M which has kept me going financially for the entire time... anyone know why this was paid out? Paid in like June or something . If not for that I’d be out of money by now..</p><p>

Anyway, looks like in about 12 months time I’ll be on par with RAW which is kinda exciting</p>

Next week is the go home show, looking forward to this next show it's probably my most stacked show I've had so far. Probably bring in an NJPW tag team for the tournament on loan. Poke around for some surprise TV tournament entrants because that will be starting after the event.</p>
