Josefina Caballero, a rangen who is very pretty with purple hair, got picked up by OLLIE! And that's because I hired her in the first place! Wooooooo! It's...the guy that plays MAW and was happy when people were poached, I think I kinda get it now!

Its April 2003 in the WWE

Right now, the fed is showcasing two big storylines.

1) HHH & his bodyguard Batista has finally/reluctantly joined Ric Flair's Age of Excitement...which features Billy Gunn, Randy Orton and Jason (Christian) York. Originally they were feuding with Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash, but that feud has moved over to the team of Booker T and Goldust, with Chuck Palumbo helping. Since Sting is the World Champion, he is always in the AoE's sights.

2) After weeks of Big Show, Kane and Mike Awesome terrorizing the WWE, we learned that Jim Mitchell has returned as their Mastermind. They targeted Undertaker, who was supported by Mick Foley and Kris Kanyon. Since Foley is only semi-active, the Tag team champions of Goldberg and Taijiri have come to Undertaker's aid as well.

Since both feuds feature a team of powerful heels, any "face" with momentum can easily get into the fray...or knocked Out of it!

May 2021 with NOTBPW (my longest game so far)

Lots of things going on.

Third generations Stone talents are finally here: David Stone is a jackass like his uncle Edd but Lucy Stone-McFly seems to be more grounded like her parents.

Alicia Strong is in the house! Unfortunately, after one month, I have sent her to rehab for a painkiller abusal issue. She will be my babyface ace in the women's division because my champion Miss Sara just started physical decline and Lucy isn't ready yet.

Gossip column: Flash had an affair with Brooke Tyler and broke up with Sally Ann Christiansen. Now Brooke Tyler is causing rift between Sally Ann and the rest of the roster. Too bad, Brooke and Sally were my best tag team. Ironically, a few weeks later Flash left for a more lucrative contract with USPW

My current factions:

House of Stone - Technician faces, usually students of Stone dojo

Duane Stone (now mostly a nostalgia act in PPV and doing some run in live on tv)

Hugh Ancrie

Logan Wolfsbaine (tag team champ + 2021 Ed Hanson winner)

Masked Stranger (tag team champ + 2021 Ed Hanson winner)

Princeton Pryce

David Stone

Lucy Stone-McFly

Team DeColt - Brawler faces

Ricky DeColt

Steve DeColt (User character - mostly manager and colour duty now)

Kirk Jameson (Canadian champ)

Fro Sure

Jeremy Courtney

The Animals - heel cruiserweights, originally from a Stone civil war when Edd backstabbed Duane

Edd Jone (Unlimited champ)

Marcel Lafleur (six man champ)

Ryan Turner (six man & Tv champ)

Stan Manna (six man champ)

Austin Smooth

Eric Lamonica

Mosher

Magnificent Seven - Classic heel faction to feud Stone and DeColt

Davis Wayne Newton

Shooter Deeley (tap out champion)

Greg Gauge

Mark Griffin

George Wolfe

Ash Campbell

Roderick Remus

JettForce - Face cruiserweights to give Jacob Jett some allies in his feud vs. Edd Stone

Jacob Jett

Alistair Shufflebottom

Robbie Griffin

American Elemental

Kid Fantastic

West Indie Crew - midcard face, can be used in all kind of matches

Hughe de Aske

Boom-Boom Jamaica

Mario DaSilva

Donte Dunn

Harlem Haynes

Sayeed Ali

The Ring Generals

Ranger

Matty Faith

Aldous Blackfriar

Mutant

Slumz (a regen of Bob Casey, renamed him and put a mask on)

New current feuds:

Kirk Jameson (w/Ricky DeColt) vs. Greg Gauge (w/Mark Griffin) - A feud to solidify Kirk as champion and possibly groom him as figurehead.

Jacob Jett vs Edd Stone to know who is the best of the super juniors

Shooter Deely & Davis Newton vs. Masked Stranger & Logan Wolfsbaine - who are the best technicians and tag team in NOTBPW? To elevate Logan from Upper Midcard to Main Event.

Lauren Easter v. Miss Sara v. Alicia Strong v. Brooke Tyler - a 4 way up-woman-ship with 4 of the best wrestlers around.

March 2016 TCW, started a few days ago.

Rocky Golden beat Aaron Andrews to reclaim the belt at Malice in Wonderland, then got past Wolf Hawkins at The War To Settle The Score. Now the fighting champion is scheduled to face "The Most Dangerous Man in Professional Wrestling" Bryan Vessey at Just Another Day?.

Meanwhile, Troy Tornado is chasing Rocky, demanding his 1 on 1 title match that he earned by winning a Battle Royal at Malice, only for GM Eric Tyler to keep denying him by giving priority to others. Tornado has promised to ruin TCW until he gets his title shot, which started by attacking Giant Tana before a scheduled match. This brought out a more serious Giant, and Tana interrupted Tornado the following week with an attack of his own. Those two also will meet at Just Another Day?.

After falling to Bryan Vessey at Malice, Sammy Bach has taken a peculiar interest in Eddie Peak, costing "The Great White Shark" a match against Human Arsenal, and then being on the receiving end of beatings for the rest of February from Peak & ally American Buffalo. At War to Settle the Score, Peak beat Bach while Arsenal beat Buffalo. Now Peak wants to avenge his loss to Arsenal, but Bach isn't done with whatever he has planned for the monstrous Peak.

After taking the tag team titles at Malice (and sending both Behemoths down to developmental), the New Wave fended off their first challenge from The Canadian Animals, but Edd and Freddy aren't done with the champs. Also in the mix are the new tag team of Technical Excellence, Ernest Youngman & Greg Gauge, who took the champs to the limit, only for a distraction from Edd Stone to backfire and give the champs the win.

When Aaron Andrews lost the world title, he was pissed and took it out on the fun loving duo of Benny Benson & Danny Fonzarelli. However in the following weeks, both faces were able to get one over on Andrews with their strength in numbers. Aaron had a solution though, debuting his new ACE stable at War to Settle the Score featuring his former tag partner Chance Fortune and tag team The Elite. Chance's former tag team partner, who was out with injury for a month, Darryl Devine, has joined Benson & Fonzie in their feud, but it's still 4v3 in favor of the heels. This feud is going to put Benny over, as Aaron's contract comes up before the cooling off period from dropping down to Cult and I don't expect to keep him.

After winning back the title, Rocky offered to accept the challenge of all 5 of the people who stepped to him, only for GM Tyler to rule that he could only face 1 at War to Settle the Score, and forcing the other 5 to fight for the right. Wolf Hawkins won, and in doing so, repeatedly humiliated Jay Chord. The night following War to Settle the Score, "Old School" Joel Bryant left Jay during a tag match against RDJ & Josh Taylor. An infuriated Chord may be drifting towards a face turn, after weeks of mistreatment by the heels of the roster. His former tag team partner, "Hollywood" Bret Starr is also rumored to be heading to TCW in the near future (negotiations pending).

Also slow brewing is the formation of a new stable featuring Mighty Mo, Fro Sure, and another worker TBD, which is probably going to mimic the real world New Day in the interest of getting Mo more over. T-Bone Bright (in development) and Logan Wolfsbaine (near the bottom of the card) are early candidates to be the 3rd member.

TCW Just Another Day? Card (subject to change)

Rocky Golden © vs. Bryan Vessey - TCW World Heavyweight Championship

Giant Tana vs. Troy Tornado

Wolf Hawkins Open Challenge (probably answered by Davis Wayne Newton or El Mitico Jr)

The New Wave © vs. The Canadian Animals vs. Technical Excellence

Ricky Dale Johnson vs. Jay Chord vs. Joel Bryant

ACE (Aaron Andrews, Chance Fortune, Eddie Chandler & Nate Johnson) vs. Benny Benson, Danny Fonzarelli, Darryl Devine & TBD

Dazzling Dave Diamond vs. Marc Speed ©

Human Arsenal vs. Eddie Peak

Future Plans

Bryan Vessey to find a tag team partner and attempt to get his 7th tag team title reign, proving he's the best tag team wrestler in TCW history, since the New Wave just picked up their 6th reign to tie him and Larry.

Eddie Peak to be the man to dethrone Rocky Golden, possibly at Total Mayhem.

Benny Benson to turn heel on Danny Fonzarelli, and eventually win the World title.

Wolf Hawkins vs. Jay Chord to be a long running feud, pulling Jay up to the main event.

Ricky Dale Johnson to take a back seat and help elevate new talent including Dazzling Dave Diamond (who he has had a loose alliance with).

Technical Excellence to be big players in the tag division, feuding with Going Coastal as both get more recognized and over. Frankie-Boy Fernandes, Greg Gauge & Ernest Youngman are all on my Next Big Thing List (along with Jay Chord and El Mitico Jr).

Was looking for a save to kill some time in last night and ended up jumping into my watcher save from the Risky Business mod which was currently in the year 1998. I started simming to the end of the year and the advance was stopped and I saw that Ted Turner had died and the ownership of WCW was up for grabs. Without even looking at the roster I immediately took over and boy did I inherit a dumpster fire of a company, yet somehow still number 2 in the world. My Main Event consists of Sgt. Slaughter, Ted DiBiase, Stan Lane, Paul Roma, Larry Zybszko and Fuerza Guerrera, who are all in time decline in one form or another. The rest of the roster has some notables like Liger, La Parka and Sting, and is full of random Japanese and Mexican workers.

Luckily Scott Hall appears to be clean and was just barely outside of the Main Event and DiBiase was willing to drop the title to him without any fuss at the first PPV. William Regal, Rick Steiner, and David Schultz will all get programs Hall while I leach pop off the old timers and build up some under card guys. Brought in a way past his prime Flair to be the mouthpiece of a new Horseman stable to help some younger guys out. I've been signing as many of the up and coming guys as I can get my hands on including Edge and Christian, Dwayne Johnson, Christoper Daniels, Rey Misterio Jr, and Eddie and Chavo Guerrero since Chavo Sr is already on the roster. Going to be interesting to see how this roster looks a year from now. One of the first things I did was disable the Dirty Doctor and implemented drug testing, because I just have to get rid of some guys I'll never use. In 2 weeks, I've sent 5 workers to rehab already.

Also an interesting tidbit I found when scouting people to sign: Jeff Jarrett was #3 in the previous top 500 and is an absolute cancer in the locker room.

Well, in the last 6 months I've had lots of old big names die. Sam Strong, George DeColt, and Crippler Kingman were the biggest.

Also, I finally broke 4 digits on a salary and hired Bulldozer Brandon Smith. One week later he signed a touring contract with PGHW. I used him one show before he went out on tour, which I expected, but put him in a program with the champ regardless. First match of the tour, he breaks his neck. Out for a year plus.

I got done with Starrcade '94 recently. I had some like Sabu dethroning the dominant MMA Superstar "Jeremy William Flynn" and winning the WCW World TV Title, Sonny Onoo revealing AJPW Superstar Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy as his new cilent (And having him beat down the new US Champ Barry Windham), Crowning my first ever Cruiserweight Champ Dean Malenko

And of course, in the most important storyline of the night, Marcus Bagwell turned heel on his Stars 'n Stripes partners after losing the tag titles. Buff Daddy is here...

But for real, the biggest storyline was my Horsemen stuff...

While it wasn't an all out success for The New Horsemen (Flair only won over Randy Savage due to the interference of Benoit, and Benoit lost his big match against Sting.), they got the last laugh in the main event...

"Stunning" Steve Austin match against the WCW World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan, ended in seriously controversey to say the least. Because Special Guest Referee Brian Pillman showed his true colors, when he struck down "The King of Hulkmania" with a chair, and handed the win to Austin.

Then, on the first Saturday Night of 1995, Pillman was officially inducted into the New Horsemen.

I've got a good thing going with this save.

Dragon Gate finished off 2006 in a great way with the King of Gate tournament and a late-year rise to Cult which saw the buyout of WLW and the estabilishment of Dragon Gate UK.

The Summer Adventure Tag League and Open the Twin Gate Championship was won by Anthony W. Mori and BxB Hulk of Pos.HEARTS. Unfortunately for Hulk, he would end up losing the Triangle Gate tiles to Akira Tozawa, Katsuo and K-Ness of Final M2K. Now there's a struggle around both belts, the symbols of unity in Dragon Gate, as Tozawa and Katsuo want to go after the Twin Gate while also facing off challenges for the Triangle Gate from Pos.HEARTS themselves and Blood Generation. Even the US express has...expressed an interest, claming Chris Sabin is gonna bring in a tag partner soon.

Well, but, King of Gate! At the finals of the big 32-man single elimination tournament, CIMA of Blood Generation went up against Masaaki Mochizuki of Final M2K. CIMA had, one month prior, unsucessfully challenged Open The Dream Gate champion Ryo Saito as well. The winner of this gets to main event Kobe World next July for the belt.

Mochizuki defeated CIMA to get one step closer on his quest to return himself and M2K to the top of Dragon Gate. However, his celebrations didn't last long, as soon Blood Generation's Magnitude Kishiwada, Masato Yoshino, Naruki Doi and Shingo Takagi hit the ring and...attacked their leader! Kishiwada said that, despite of CIMA's promises at the start of the year, all Blood Gen did was decline and decline and decline some more. At the SATL, Doi and Yoshino fell in the finals to Anthony W. Mori and BxB Hulk. Before that, at Kobe World, Kishiwada had to look while that dancing idiot Ryo Saito reached the top.

But CIMA was the worse of all. Thanks to CIMA's cockiness in saying he didn't need much help beyond a tag partner, he cost Blood Gen a second spot in the Summer Adventure Tag League semi-finals to some rookies. ROOKIES! That's who the supposed Ace of Dragon Gate lost to. Then, CIMA boldly went ahead and challenged Ryo Saito. He was the first Dream Gate champion, but oh how the mighty have fallen. He lost to Saito! He gave him his second key(Dream Gate challengers get a Key which, in case of victory, is used to literally open the belt to put their name plate in. In case of defeat, the champion hangs the key in the belt as a sign of victory)

Then, came King of Gate. Tensions were high and CIMA was the only one who didn't see it. He kept trying to be friends with Yasushi Kanda, and for what? For nothing! Blood Generation got nothing from Kanda! Then, he once again insisted in his mistake. He forbade his stable mates from interfering in matches at KoG. Because in his fool's mind, he made this unit so great, so unstoppable! Well, he did nothing!

At the King of Gate semi-finals, CIMA wrestled Naruki Doi. And it was clear he lost his touch at that very moment, when he hesitated while doing a Meteora(Flying Knee Stomp) to the outside. He hesitated! Did he fear for himself, did he think it was a foolish thing to do to his own knees? No. He feared for Doi. Because Doi is in his unit and he can't hurt him that badly. Because he has become weak!

Kishiwada & Don Fujii are gonna be co-leaders from now on. Somewhere down the line, the time to fight for the de facto leader spot will arrive. But for now, they will focus on making CIMA pay for making a joke out of them, and turn Blood Generation - actually, no, not turn - but from the ashes of this group, create a strong unit, one that will run rampant and unstoppable over all of the world.

Now, yeah, the idea here is that they're right. Blood Generation started 2006 with several victories by cheating and interfering, which led to CIMA growing so cocky that he stopped them from doing that some more as, hey, they've beaten everyone, right? Thus leading to losses. His redemption story starts here and will end with him proving that he, at least, can win big matches fairly and hasn't "lost his touch" at all. I'm thinking of having him create a new unit soon.

There were some more debuts around the latter part of the year. CM Punk arrived beating Takashi Okamura with ease. The idea around him is that he's a dominant wrestler, not because of size or strenght, but because of skill. Punk dominates by simply knowing how to counter whatever is thrown at him. But, so far, this hasn't been tested against people high up the card...he also has great chemistry tagging with Johnny Saint, so maybe the veteran will be able to at least correct his personality, as he has shown to be a top tier a-hole. Then again, we got so many of those it might actually help him make friends.

El Generico from PWG & El Ligero from literally all the promotions in the UK came in for the KoG and faced off in the first round. Generico won before being eliminated by Shingo Takagi and it seems managment wants to bring him back somewhere down the line...

Also, a very charismatic but below average in ring rookie by the name of MC K.Z showed up near the end of the year, rapping his way to multi-man tags, much to the amusement or dismay of his partners, depending on who you ask. He's being touted to be sent to WLW or DGUK to gain some more ring skills after Crown Gate. It seems like Takashi Yoshida will go with him, and Yujiro Kushida and YAMATO, on the other hand, should return. Both men were sent to WLW so Randy Savage can teach them how to be more charismatic and better on the mic.

Ryo Saito's first challenger of 2007 is Chris Jericho. Jericho did get some fairly big wins over 2006, and now he wants to help Mochizuki on his quest by having Kobe World be main evented by two Final M2K members. Spoilers:he fails.

Meanwhile, Anthony W. Mori and BxB Hulk will take on K-ness and Susumu Yokosuka, also of Final M2K. It's their second defence, after they defeated Atsushi Kotoge & Daisuke Harada of Do FIXER. K-Ness is also a co-holder of the Open the Triangle Gate championships, and if Mori & Hulk beat him & Yokosuka, then fellow Pos.HEARTS members Magnum TOKYO, Milano Collection A.T., King Shisa, Super Shisa, Shachihoko Machine and Yuki Sato will all have a claim on challenging.

At the first show of the year, all members of Pos.HEARTS faced off in an 8-men tag team match, and now Sato, Machine and Milano are scheduled to face off against the two Shisas and TOKYO to see who gets to challenge. It seems like, despite this looking like an internal fight, it's more like a big showing of just how much they trust Mori and Hulk.

Open the Brave Gate champion Dragon Kid lost some time due to injuries and also because no-one stepped up to challenge him, most people being too big for the belt or not interested. There, in fact, hasn't been a challenger since Kobe World, and he has reached over one year as champion with only three defences. However, Naruki Doi eliminated him from King of Gate, and since he and Yoshino could not get a strong enough claim to challenge Mori & Hulk for the Twin Gate, he's going after Kid so he can prove that CIMA was, in fact, holding the whole group down and already give the new, currently unnamed unit, a belt.

IWA Mid South August 2006

Heavyweight Champion: Toby Klein defeated Chris Hero at Summer Scorcher

Tag Team Champions: Threat Level Midnight (Billy Roc & Trick Davis) defeated the Kings of Wrestling (Claudio & Hero) & BLKOut (Eddie Kingston & Joker) at Summer Scorcher, Hero & Claudio were champions.

Light Heavyweight Champion: Tyler Black since defeating Josh Prohibition in TLC match in April.

Women's Champion: Alicia, teamed with the Backseat Boyz to defeat El Generico, Human Tornado & Mickie Knuckles in a 6 man tag where the belt was on the line at Summer Scorcher.

Death Match Champion: Drake Younger, won the 2006 King of the Death Match in a four-way ultimate death match final featuring Drake, Jimmy Jacobs, Brain Damage & Mad Man Pondo.

Top Programs

Chris Hero Vs. Eddie Kingston

Birthed out of the "Ian stacks the deck against Hero" storyline. These two hate each other. Things got interesting when Hero added to his belt collection by defeating Delirous & Matt Sydal for the tag belts. Kingston actually cost Hero the Heavyweight belt by having BLKOut keep Hero's Few Good Men (Larry Sweeney, Claudio, Michael Elgin & Ash) from interfering on his behalf Vs. Toby Klein and ultimately laying Hero out behind the officials back with the Backfist To the Future leading to the pin.

Chris Hero Vs. Trik Davis

This is a thing that happening, Hero can't stand the kid stemming from a 2005 upset loss during the big Hero "curse" storyline. Davis & his buddy Billy Roc just took the tag titles off the Kings, and Chris has promised that no matter what he will continue to make sure that Trik fails at everything.

CJ Otis Vs. Drake Younger

They were partners, they were buddies... They got eaten alive in program against Deranged & Brain Damage, and CJ ended up turning. Otis has beaten Drake's Naptown Dragon buddies a bunch so far, and has a singles win over Drake. Their next match is a MMA rules match.

Josh Prohibition Vs. Tyler Black

Since I started this feud has continued... Prohibition has vowed to not only get his title back, but also to run Tyler out of town. We had a whole show based around this program at one point, appropriately titled "When Tyler met Josh".

The redemption of Jimmy Jacobs

Fired after losing the IWA Mid South Heavyweight title, Jimmy returned interfering in matches, hell at one point in a mask he won a title shot, only for Ian to take it away from him. After saving Ian from BJ Whitmer and Jim Fannig's Crew, Ian finally hired him back...ONLY IF he partipated in the King of the Death Match. He agreed, beat Bull Pain in a home run derby in round one, AND earned Ian's respect beating the boss himself in Tapae Death Match in round 2! Jimmy made it to the finals for crying outloud! His next step was defeating BJ in a cage match, now he moves on and hopes to beat the hell out of his former running buddy Josh Prohibition.

Other minor programs:

Something is up with Necro... He's on a losing streak... It's going somewhere...

Ricochet & Ruckus are kinda sorta feuding... And the Backseats are gunning for the tag belts.

[C-Verse]

So, I'm running a hybrid promotion in America as Buddy Garner. My hires are MMA fighters like Billy Russell and Roy Edison, or whoever else with some legitimate background, as well as a number of brawlers for some interesting clash of styles.

The first show was headlined by Garner vs Russell, and turns out they got bad chemistry. They're also on decline now but I guess that's a given. Oh, well.

AT-67 · May 26, 2019

I recently got back into playing TEW as a long-time EWR and TEW fan. I'm playing WCW from the Montreal Prelude scenario, currently in May '98. Dealing with the backstage politics and creative control has been an interesting challenge.

I booked the run-up to Starrcade '97 quite closely to real-life, although Hogan simply would not drop the belt to Sting, no matter how many run-ins and screwball finishes I suggested. Hogan retained the title after an interference from Nash, while Bret Hart chased off the nWo after the match.

I brought in Bret as an embittered heel neither aligned with nWo nor WCW and created a three-way feud for the title with Hogan and Sting, which was complicated further when Scott Hall (who won WW3 as in real-life in Nov) was revealed by JJ Dillon to be the real No. 1 contender to the belt at Superbrawl. The nWo, interpreting this as a 'masterstroke' on their part, were shocked when Scott Hall turned against them, becoming an Austin-esque rebel chasing the heel faction. Hogan defeated Hall through cheating at Superbrawl and Hall was sent away in an ambulance, while Bret and Sting went to a double count out in a stellar match.

In March at WrestleWar (renamed from Uncensored), Hogan exercised his creative control again to defeat Bret and Sting in a triple threat match (I had hoped that Bret pinning Sting would be enough to get the belt off Hogan). Scott Hall returned after the match and ran off Hogan and the nWo.

In April, Hogan and Hall fought in a re-match at Spring Stampede with Mike Tyson as the special guest referee - but Tyson turned on Hall with a quick count, revealing an nWo t-shirt under his referee shirt. Scott Steiner also turned on Rick further down the card. Sting and Bret Hart also ended their feud in my best match yet (99), with Sting going over in a cage match.

It's just turned May '98, and after many weeks of having his loyalties questioned, Kevin Nash has turned face, saving Scott Hall from a beatdown from the nWo, and setting up a feud between nWo Hollywood and nWo Wolfpac. I'm building up Slamboree which is going to be Hogan and Savage versus The Outsiders, with Nash and Hall going over. I've just re-signed Hollywood Hogan to a contract without creative control (!), which finally gives me some booking leeway.

Further down the card, I'm impressed how Goldberg's popularity has closely mirrored his rise in real-life (he's now around 90 in US, from starting at 45) and I've booked him almost to the same timeline - he beat Raven for the US title and just defended against Konnan on PPV. Raven is awesome and his entertainment stats keep getting better and better, he's now around 77 pop across the US and has had great feuds with Benoit, Goldberg, and now with Roddy Piper and Chris Jericho.

Ric Flair has just ended a feud with Eddie Guerrero ('Space Mountain' vs 'Latino Heat') and Eddie is very slowly rising in popularity. Surprisingly Buff Bagwell and Curt Hennig are now over huge (pop in mid 80s), perhaps because I keep putting them segments with the nWo and they've both feuded with DDP who has been awesome. Booker T is TV champion and has turned heel on Stevie Ray. Scott Norton and Brian Adams 'nWo Crush and Destroy' have also gotten over as a monster tag team, now Upper Midcarders.

I'm struggling to think of how to book the Cruiserweights - Rey Mysterio Jr. feuded with Eddie for the belt up until Starrcade with Rey winning and he's held it ever since. In Jan-Feb I had an tournament to decide the No. 1 contender, bringing in the luchadores and NJPW guys like Lyger, Otani, and Great Sasuke, although it's been difficult to get them over. Rey has just defeated Juventud Guerrera in a 'Mask versus Mask' match, with Juvi losing and unmasking. I've been tempted to fire Juvi due to his behaviour but on the other hand he's so talented and the division is looking sparse.

Meanwhile WWF have had a tough time - falling to 'Cult'. The main event of Wrestlemania was Kane vs Mankind, but everything else looks shambolic - Austin has been put out of action for three months with an injury, HBK has just retired, and the company has put the WWF title on Jeff Jarrett who is now feuding in the main event with Ken Shamrock.

Seraphina · May 26, 2019

I've been spending two years building up the top stars on each of my two brands to eventually meet in my own version of Wrestlemania. One of them is an unbeaten monster who has sawed through every single opponent since their debut, the other is the ace of the company and - although not unbeaten - is my best worker and top star.

Both of them are well on their way to being guaranteed future hall of immortal inductees, which I've been carefully working towards so I can book a "once in a lifetime" match for them at the big show. I've managed to keep them from ever having a match against one another - not even a tag team match - but have kept things burning by having the occasional angle involving them squaring off during cross-brand shows, as they both realize that sooner or later they'll have to fight to determine who the real number one in the company is.

I'm just a couple of months of shows away from being ready for the match, where the invincible monster will finally be defeated and the undisputed ace will be crowned. And honestly after two years of building my two shows around each of these two - they've by far the two biggest stars in the game world at this point - and it feels kind of like I'm approaching the final episode of a long running series. I might even end the game at that point and start a new one because it'll feel like the climax.

Honestly, it's going to suck if the match bombs.

The Blood Generation split-off stable/successor now has a name. Don Fujii, Magnitude Kishiwada, Shingo Takagi and the Teams Speed Muscle(Masato Yoshino & Naruki Doi) and The Brahman Brothers(Brahman Kei & Brahman Shu) are calling themselves the Strong Chariots.

The Chariot is the seventh major arcana in tarot and closely associated with strenght, drive, and decision making. But the chariot is also, on the other hand, a rejection of aggresivity. Thus comes the "Strong" part of Strong Chariots. Major arcana number 8(sometimes 11, but I'll go with 8 as it fits my narrative better), The Strenght. They will stop at nothing to take the reins of the wrestling world, no matter what it takes. The ends justify the means, and the means are ruthless, unstoppable strenght that leads them to victory.

Strenght is also associated with Temperance, and Justice. Their vision of Justice is a simple and perhaps twisted view on natural selection. The strong reach the top, the weak are left to die. CIMA is weak, thus they left him behind, and now they will fulfill their destiny. Temperance is an idea that they reject. Self-restraint and moderation are signs of weakness.

They have already made several enemies. CIMA, of course, the man accused of being the one who held them down, but also Yasushi Kanda, to whom they were less than gentle in their promos and actions, and now Final M2K, as after a singles match won with interference, Magnitude Kishiwada ordered a beatdown on their member Chris Jericho. Additionally, they have not endeared themselves with much of the lower card, saying that all of them lack the "virtues" needed to be even worth their time. Altought, on the other hand, there is one man who seems to have drawn their attention...

The plan right now is for CIMA to form a new unit with Kanda and YAMATO. YAMATO has been sent to America on excursion(read:developmental deal) and the idea is to play the real life fact that he's the protégé of Shingo Takagi, who will, eventually, rise to the leader position in the Chariots as Fujii & Kishiwada tag up full time. YAMATO will arrive, Shingo will try to bring him on but he'll refuse claiming he can't follow a mentor with such a ruthless and cruel world view. Shingo will deem him weak and attack, before CIMA, and, surprisingly, Kanda, make the save, thus teaming them up. I'll also bring up a younger outside guy. Right now I'm torn between Shiori Asahi, Taiji Ishimori, Kazuchika Okada and Hayato Fujita. The original plan was Gamma(in real life, it was actually Kishiwada who introduced him to Dragon Gate) but New Japan scooped him up.

In fact, two of them might aswell get a contract since U.S. Express still hasn't brought on Chris Sabin's mysterious parnter. The plan is actually to bring someone over for the SATL, and of course the obvious choice is Alex Shelley, but in the game the A.I. hasn't used them as a tag yet. In fact, they had two singles matches in March and October 2006, tied one victory each, and haven't crossed paths since.

Meanwhile, New Japan, NOAH, WWE and CMLL have hit National. CMLL specifically is entertraining to see as right in the first game month AAA, who still hasn't made it past regional, declared war on them. Whoops.

I've decided to do a game as a company I don't think I've ever seen anyone play as in a save: 2001 WWC. I have two goals with this save: get to cult and make Carly Colon god. First show I had him win the WWC Universal title, which actually makes sense because he had like 68 pop in Puerto Rico. I've made three signings this far, Juventud Guerrera, Low Ki (who I didn't know was actually Puerto Rican and signed him because of this) and New Jack (because Mustafa Saed is on the roster, and also because a friend dared me). I also made partnerships with a few Japanese and Mexican companies. I'm taking this semi seriously. I'll provide updates.

IWA Mid South November 2006

Main Programs

Chuck Taylor Vs. Everybody

Chuck won the IWA Mid South Heavyweight title from Toby Klein in September at The Ted Petty Invitational. He's doing the chickenshit routine... Tracy Smothers returned as his back up. Next defense is at the ECW Arena Vs. Raven at November Pain (get it?).

The BLKOut Vs. Ricochet, Jimmy Jacobs & Arik Cannon

Eddie Kingston lost a TV match to Arik Cannon, and it lead to the BLKOut turning heel and destroying Cannon. Ruckus and Ricochet have had a few matches this year, thus Ricochet saved, Jimmy saved too and was added to the program.

Back Seat Boyz Vs. Ian Rotten & Mickie Knuckles & The Iron Saints.

Back Seats randomly defeated Trik Davis & Billy Roc in October on TV for the tag belts. They've been feuding with Mickie for a bit now... Thus Ian getting involved... There was a barbed wire match, the Saints returned post match to help Ian? Saints had lost a loser leaves town for 6 months deal to BLKOut in April. Ian booked the Boyz to defender their titles in the Double Death Turnament and they lost the belts to Brain Damage & Deranged so it's no longer about that.

"Dastardly" Dylan Summers Vs. Toby Klein

Summers is of course the Necro Butcher... He's a "WRESTLER" know as he abandoned his death match ways and is now a member of Sweet 'n' Sour Inc. He's got his own referee in Derek Sobato. It's a whole thing. Toby is his former buddy and legit just wants to beat the hardcore back into him, but it's not working at all

Drake Younger Vs. CJ Otis

Drake is injured... They were feuding, Otis had his number, Drake's due back soon and they're gonna get eight back into things.

Josh Abercrombie debuted Velvet Sky (as Talia Madison( as his valet, in storyline it's Brandon Tomasali's ex so now the two former partners are feuding.

Claudio won the 2006 TPI, lost a title match to Chuck when Sweeney's interference backfired and then promptly quit Sweet 'n Sour Inc. He's touring NJPW so this story is kinda on hold for a bit. Meanwhile, just after the TPI Hero got injured working CZW as it out for another two months.

Daize Haze won the women's belt...

Brain Damage is the Death Match Champion AND 1/2 of the tag team champions...

Sweeney's promised a new "top guy" in SnS Inc...

And Kevin Steen's around randomly doing things..

It's a whole lotta rift raft going on, but isn't that what IWA is all about?

So I'm playing Empire Wrestling(basically NXT with a little bit of ECW thrown in) in the Whoniverse mod. I'm only still in my first month right after the first PPV

Dean Ambrose beat AJ Styles for the world title after turning heel on our first show

Briscoe Bros beat Austin Creed and Zach Ryder for the tag titles

However, my biggest success story in all of this so far is AR gosh darn Fox(now AR Foxxx).

He was enhancement talent when I first got the roster and needed a new gimmick. So....I decided to pull an in-universe rib on him and give him the Adult Film Star gimmick and team him with Darren Young(AR Fox did a gay adult film before he became a wrestler)

Little did I know that doing that was going to be the best thing for this man's career. As of now he shot up straight from ET to Upper Midcarder after getting a "Great" on the gimmick change. "Straight Denial" are probably going to end up being my new tag champs after I give the Briscoes a bit of a run.

Just booked Fully Loaded 1999 and now heading towards SummerSlam with WAY too many ideas.

As for Fully Loaded the show went as this:

The show opened with up and coming tag teams Edge & Christian battling The Hardy Boyz in a ladder match with the winners receiving a title match whenever they want. Matt grabbed the contract after Jeff took a major bump to the outside to wipe out both competitors.

Next up the newly turned face Owen Hart defeated long-time friend Jeff Jarrett in a stiff match with the Sharpshooter to retain the Intercontinental title.

Raven defeated Steve Blackman to retain the Hardcore title but was attacked by the newly acquired Tommy Dreamer post-match.

Last Man Standing was next with Mankind battling Shane McMahon, the ending saw neither man answer the 10 count after Mankind thew Shane and himself off the side of the titantron.

On Sunday Night Heat, Shamrock claimed no man could defeat him and to prove it he would face anyone willing enough on Fully Loaded and to sweeten the deal he was put his European title on the line. Fast forward a few hours and the challenge was answered by Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle! Angle was able to catch Shamrock with the Angle Slam to win his first WWF gold.

The unusual combination of The Rock and Triple H continued their dominance, this time taking down HHH's former friends the New Age Outlaws.

In the main event, the fans saw an instant classic as HBK and Stone Cold went 48 minutes in a 2 outta 3 falls match for the World Title, during the second fall we saw The Undertaker attack HBK, helping Austin win the fall. But in the end it was Michaels who caught The Texas Rattlesnake with Sweet Chin Music to retain. 'Taker attacked an exhausted HBK following the match but to the surprise of every body, Austin saved HBK from a severe beating.

Now where does WWF go heading into SummerSlam!?
