What's going on in your game?

HRTVAndrew · April 22, 2018

I got inspired to run a 1987 AWA game in the Golden Age mod after rewatching WWE's AWA documentary. My backstory is that Bruno Sammartino has had a falling-out with Vince Jr., and rather than retire, he's become the managing partner in the AWA (which is financially struggling). I'm six weeks in, and I'm having a blast.

I kept the Hennig/Bockwinkel/Larry Z feud going, but with a twist. The three headlined my first big show, but Larry turned on Curt, allowing Bockwinkel to get the pin. The two then beat Hennig up after the match, but were interrupted by the returning Sammartino. I don't intend to have Bruno work regularly, but this is leading up to a tag match at the April show and a few matches at the May show (Superclash, the big one).

My main philosophy is to mix up-and-coming young guys with established stars that mostly work cheap. In that vein, I've cut a lot of guys on AWA's roster that can't work and signed workers like Ted DiBiase, Scott Hall, Brian Pillman, The Great Muta, Owen Hart, and Sting (on a whim, I let Sherri Martel manage Muta, and it turns out they've got good chemistry, which is awesome). For veterans, I brought in Kevin Von Erich and Michael Hayes, as well as the Road Warriors. We just got to cult, which meant I could start sprinkling in written contracts (plus bring Bob Backlund, who was tailor-made for AWA's style, out of hiatus). Animal signed his, but I'm in a bidding war with Vince for Hawk.

My goal is to get AWA in a position where we're competing for the #2 spot in the country, which would then allow us to soak up a lot of JCP's talent when that promotion crashes in mid-1988. I don't know how long I can keep the creative juices flowing, but for now, I'm having a grand old time re-establishing the AWA.

I suffered my first early death in any game ever. Despite playing since 2010 (irl, not 2010 in game).

Funaki died at 44. Not even in decline. His partner TAKA Michinoku just retired a week before. They won the titles 6x and both got inducted into the HoF. I'm glad he at least got inducted before his passing. I was going to pair him with a younger worker and have him win the tag titles one more time before leaving Funaki to take over backstage somewhere.

I'm kind of sad. Actually.

Supreme Challenge 40 is in the books for me: The Main Card

Valiant defeated Nicky Champion in a Once in a Lifetime Match (Blew out the crowd so despite 100 individual performances from both men, the match got an 85)

Spencer Spade defeated Wolf Hawkins for the SWF World Title (1st reign)

Marat Khoklov and Des Davids defeated Donte Dunn/Lenny Brown, The Ring Generals and The Dynamite Express in a Ladder Match for the SWF Unified Tag Team Titles

Fro Sure defeated Fredrique Antonio Garcia, High Flyin' Hawaiian, Greg Gauge, Rogue and Brandon James in a Scramble Match for the SWF North American Title

Ranger won a battle royal to become the first ever SWF TV Champion

Primus Allen defeated Jimmy Hernandez to retain the SWF Intercontinental Title

Alicia Strong defeated Lauren Easter via fast count by Special Guest Referee Amber Allen for the SWF Women's Title

Agent 69 defeated Joanne Rodriguez in a Career vs. Hair match, Joanne Rodriguez' SWF career is over.

Matty Faith defeated Human Arsenal in a Street Fight (Tag team breakup match)

Randy Bumfhole defeated Hector Rodriguez (El Fuerza)

After the event, Fredrique Antonio Garcia was sent to rehab for pain killer abuse. This is the second time he's been denied a rematch after losing the title in the past year (First time was because he got injured).

Princeton Pryce and Dusty Ducont are new additions to the roster after Supreme Challenge and are expected to appear at the next Supreme TV.

Gungner · April 25, 2018

I have this idea for a future feud in my TCW save. I have signed Martyr (who's in development atm.) and he will debut with his default gimmick, a man in a hockey mask being creepy as Hell. After a while he'll start a feud with Danny Fonzarelli, trying to get into and under his skin. The otherwise happy and bumbly Fonzarelli keeps warning him that he has a darkside too, but Martyr won't listen. When it's PPV time, Martyr will make his entrance and so forth, and Fonzarelli enters... As Jay Darkside (to a huge pop) and wins the match

QFresh · April 25, 2018

No matter how hard I try to stay away from them by playing as any other promotion, I always find myself back in NOTBPW... Can't explain it...

In this version of NOTBPW, Jeremy has decided to go for the jugular. Meaning I've made a bunch of signings away from CGC which I'll list below as well as outline a couple of things I've got going in this first month of game.

Of course, I signed Ricky. Because why the hell not. I've made him Heel, and he just helped brother Steve become a four time Canadian Champion by beating Tim Westybrook & Duane Stone at BCB 2018. And with The DeColt Dynasty now running rampant in NOTB, the possibilities are endless.

I've also brought in Gargantuan because I love me some jacked to the gills heavyweights with boatloads of Menace (you can call me Vinnie Mac.) I've put him with the DeColts as their Monster/Bodyguard type given the connection from CGC, and have brought on quite possibly my favorite manager in the CV, Eric Tyler, as his Paul Heyman type. And those four should take care of all ME feuds over the next year or so with all the NOTB Baby's going for them.

Signed up Thrill Seeker as well because of The Lloyd's Dynasty where he has Thrill Seeker & Jacob Jett teamed up, and I've replicated that because those renders just work well together.

Signed up Christian Price for the hell of it, but I'm not entirely sure where I'm gonna go with that one... Preliminary thoughts say Cameron Vessey with the TV strap between them, but I'll see what happens there.

For the ladies, I've brought in Sara Marie York who I always push to the moon, and Tamara for the obvious Sean connection, probably gonna bring in Zoe as well to maybe add a female flare to the DeColt Dynasty given the history there as well.

As for Sean, he's currently locked in blood feud with Johnny Bloodstone who I've always pictured as an evil son of a so and so, and as such has made Sean's life quite miserable over the last couple of weeks with blindside attacks, and even going as far as to corner Victoria and scare the bejesus out of her. Sean just went over at BCB, but this feud is far from finished. Hope he doesn't hang it up before I can finish the story arc.

And finally adding a little levity to the program, Lord James King adds a splash of comic relief trying to convince Hayes & Brown that they should be some sort of unit. The good Lord just kind of proved his worth in the 6-man where he teams with the tag champs, but its been fun visualizing this proper gentlemen trying to persuade two pseudo gangsters to join forces. I want Sayeed Ali to eventually come in, and lambaste Lord James just as he convinces the two to join with him, leading to a New Jack and Mustafa inspired tandem.

Turns out... I also really like heel factions by the sound of things.

God, I love this game.

Bigpapa42 · April 25, 2018

Only a month into the save, so probably too early to do a "what's going on". But what the heck...

Started a new WCW save in my tweaked version of 2001 WCW Lives. It starts in June 2001 with Mark Cuban as the owner. WCW isn't in great shape and the roster is a mess, as one might expect. Have Booker T, DDP, Dustin Rhodes, Jarrett, Kanyon, Shane Douglas.... that's the top of the card. The key that makes it fun is the potential - have RVD on the roster as well as AJ Styles. And the obvious signings are obvious - CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Bryan Danielson, etc.

I opened up two developmental promotions at the smallest possible size - New York City Wrestling and Full Throttle Wrestling, in NYC and Chicago respectively. Stocked them up with talent. Both are on touring schedules and I've found they tend to grow in size fairly quickly. I've already been using some of the top prospects on a B show so their popularity grows a bit and they can be more valuable to the child promotion. Trying to be patient and give these future stars time to get better before I pull them onto the main roster on a permanent basis.

I'm trying not to revamp the roster TOO quickly. Its tempting, but not really necessary. Growth back to National is going to take some time, regardless of show quality. And getting to National too quickly is just gonna backfire. Have to make do with Booker, DDP, Dustin, Jarrett, and RVD as the headliners until some more become available near the end of 2001 (Flair, Mysterio, HBK, Sting, Goldberg) or a bit later.

Since Booker T starts with the world and North American title, I had him be told he had to give one up. He gives up the NA title, of course, so a tournament is created. That can become an annual event down in subsequent years. Gonna run thru July, with RVD and Lance Storm being the finalists.

I've toyed with different products in previous saves on this data. The current product is Popularity equals Performance, but I'm wondering if I should switch it up to be more Popularity based. The idea was that WCW has changed under its new ownership, but honestly, Popularity based would probably be easier to book, and it can still be different than the chaotic SE they were doing in 2000-2001.

miz468 · April 26, 2018

So I'm in April 2016 in my USPW save, last PPV was my best yet (85) headlined by Nicky Champion and Steve Frehley taking on Rich Money and Marat Khoklov in a tag match. My title situation...

USPW World Heavyweight - Rich Money

I had Khoklov win the belt in a triple threat with Frehley and Champion in February, then surrender the belt to Money after in a similar angle to Andre/DiBiase. Money has started a stable called Money, Inc. with a heel Rick Law and a tag team of Trent Shaffer and Davis Wayne Newton. The current plan is for Frehley, who turned face, to win the belt back from Money at IDS, then he'll turn back on Champion in the following months, leading to Champion winning the belt at Thanksgiving Thunder.

USPW National - Rick Law

Law won the title from Shaffer in February, then joined him in Money, Inc. the next month when he turned heel in his Championship match with Jumbo Jackson (who turned face in the process). I'll probably have him drop the belt in a multi-man at IDS so he can move up into the real main event scene.

USPW Television - Ricky DeColt

I'm really only using this belt on my B show, USPW Saturday Morning Slam. Ricky won it from Dusty Ducont.

USPW Women's - Melody

As tempting as it's been to take it off, I've managed to keep the strap on Melody the first few months, but she's gonna drop it to J-Ro this month in a triple threat with Alicia Strong, who was the guest referee in last months match and fast counted J-Ro.

USPW World Tag Team - The Towers Of Power

Had to strip The Cold Warriors when I suspended Novak for steroids. New team of Art Reed/Greg Black won the tourney for the vacant titles, beating ToP in the semis. They didn't take kindly to this and turned on them, won the belts in February. They're gonna drop them to DWN and Shaffer this month in a four-way match so I can get all of Money, Inc. with gold around their waist.

I've tried not to sign everyone that comes up for extension from TCW and SWF, but I have made four signings so far:

- Floyd Goldworthy: Involved in a storyline with Colossus (Hell's Bouncer) and Tyson Baine. Basically Colossus debuted as the third member of The Titans in January. Goldworthy came in last month and started trying to hire Colossus as a client by saying Baine is dragging him down. This will lead to a pass the torch match between a face Baine and a heel Colossus, probably at IDS. T-Rex is just gonna nope out of this feud and keep being a heel. I might call Atlas back up from development and team those two up.

- Aaron Andrews: Come on, I couldn't resist signing the reigning TCW World Heavyweight Champion. Andrews will slot in immediately as a heel main eventer in the mold of AJ Styles when he feuded with Cena. He's the best and he'll do anything to win. May pair him with a heel team like ToP, Death Row, or the aforementioned T-Rex/Atlas.

- The Amazing Bumfholes - Yeah, both contracts came up within a month of each other. I've been waiting to debut Randy until Zimmy's SWF contract comes up. Signed Haley Buck to be their manager and possibly the reason they eventually split. Will probably feud them with DWN/Shaffer for the title. Need a new last name though...

I'm also currently in a bidding war for El Leon, and if I get him, I'm gonna drop the $20M or so to expand my coverage for Mexico from Big to Huge and expedite the move to global.

Tentative card for my next PPV, Freedom Fight:

- USPW World Heavyweight Championship - Rich Money © vs. Enygma

- USPW National Championship - Rick Law © vs. Ross Henry

- USPW World Tag Team Championship - The Towers Of Power © vs. Natural Storm vs. World Class (Reed/Black) vs. Blue Chips (DWN/Shaffer)

- USPW Women's Championship - Melody © vs. Alicia Strong vs. Joanne Rodriguez

- Steve Frehley vs. Tyson Baine

- Nicky Champion/Running Wolf vs. The Cold Warriors

- Chris Caulfield vs. Aaron Andrews

- The Force vs. Casey Valentine

Last but not least, the five matches I have penciled in for Independence Day Slam, though that's obviously still a few months away...

- Nicky Champion vs. Marat Khoklov - Career vs. Career

- USPW World Heavyweight Championship - Rich Money © vs. Steve Frehley

- USPW World Tag Team Championship - Blue Chips © vs. The Amazing Bumfholes

- Enygma vs. Aaron Andrews

- Tyson Baine vs. Colossus

Independence Day Slam! 2018.

Card:

<img alt="GKa5BMo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GKa5BMo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

That card is airtight. Didn't want to relegate the All-American Doppelganger Fight to the pre-show but it is what it is. Also wanted to give Katrina (Kate Avatar) her own solo entrance for the women's battle royal to make her arrival a big deal but, again.

This made me happy:

<img alt="FL43Siu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FL43Siu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

YAS.

<img alt="NzVRCZh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NzVRCZh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

LOOK AT THOSE SCORES. The only reason Scythe/Morpheus was a 50 is because I set that to Calm The Crowd and Morpheus is the second-worst worker on the roster that I actually still use. (The worst? Richie Riggins.)

As is tradition, we followed this up with the Superstar Shuffle, which went down as follows:

American to National: Joss Thompson, The Towers Of Power, Dusty Ducont (w/Elizabeth Cartier), Kirk Jameson, Des Davids, Dangerous By Design (Riggins & Roger Cage)

National to American: Natural Storm (after they lose the titles; the World and Tag Team titles float), Atlas, Ekuma

The big move is Thompson, and it's because he's lost in the shuffle on American Wrestling and he'll be a bigger part of National Throwdown. He'll slot in as the No. 2 heel and give the brand a much-needed workrate boost. (Casey Valentine's not quite up to the task. He'll be a great No. 3, though.) His move also allows Trent Shaffer to be the No. 2 heel on American wrestling, and Primus will be No. 3 after dropping the National title that he held for 16 months.

Also, as unbalanced as the brand switches were, they left me with perfect face-heel balance on both brands.

Blake Trask · April 27, 2018

I only have the Y workers (as in, the ones whose names begin with Y) remaining in my 0/0/0/0 2010 data until I've successfully updated the skills/biographies for the entire database.

There's still a lot of work to do, mostly in terms of ensuring that companies are updated/have appropriate broadcasters set, but I'm at a point where it's actually looking like I'm going to be able to finish recreating the save game.

I'm super excited; the data I'm recreating represents my longest term game from 2010, and I can't wait to pick up where I left off. What better start point than having just hit National in order to go head to head with the TCW and SWF juggernauts?

In the meantime I've also created a miniature women's wresting scene for Australia and am considering setting up something of that nature for Europe/UK too.

The 3000 workers mark is creeping closer bit by bit and I'm really tempted to open the throttle and go for it. That would be an awesome milestone.

I'm already dreaming of signings and booking prospects.

QFresh · April 27, 2018

So... I lost the National Battle in the first month because a) I didn't take the time to read the incredibly helpful NOTBPW Discussion Thread which tells you exactly how to do so... and b) I really suck at this game, and always overlook everything.

C'est La Vie.

DeColt Dynasty is coming along nicely (to ReCap: Ricky, Gargantuan, and Eric Tyler have all signed on joining new Canadian Champion Steve to dominate everything!) having run rough shot over both Duane Stone & Tim Westybrook to the point where it seems like all is lost. Duane & Tim usually have the upper hand over Steve & Ricky, and then the big dog Gargantuan comes in to save the day. And that was the story for a few weeks until finally Marat Khoklov arrived to even the odds! (I've brought Marat in mostly to try to win the National Battle.) So now with Duane, Tim, and Marat facing off with Steve, Ricky, and Gargantuan, I'm hoping this story can go for awhile now that all the pieces in place. I just added Brooke Tyler to the Dynasty as well given the connection to Eric, and I'm moving SMY into position to become Woman's Champion, and lead the division into the next phase.

Sean & Johnny are still going hard at each other. Coming off the loss at Big City, Johnny is a man possessed. Backstage attacks galore, distractions leading to losses, and now Sean & Johnny are going to have the big payoff gimmick match that I haven't decided on yet that is probably going to Main Clash Classic. Will allow both men to move on the other things.

Deeley has dismantled The Blondes, having "broken" The Naturals arm in a submission that he wouldn't release, and now goes on to fight Owen Love at CC to end that story off as well. Not sure where either will end up, but having brought back The McWades from Japan for one last huzzah, I have a feeling that's the next step for The Blondes. As for Deeley, probably will get locked into a series of good matches with Bloodstone to move towards an eventual title run.

Poor Lord James... He thought he had found himself a couple of rough customers to be his new back up... Low and behold, Sayeed Ali has changed those plans. The Unit has arrived (made up of Ali, Omar Brown, & Harlem Hayes) and they are ANGRY!!! (Going the oppressed route here.) And for some reason, Lord James is there first target. (Really, I just wanted to turn him cause I always run out of ideas for him as a heel, and I didn't want to recycle the old stuff I've done.) This will also give me something to do with Mighty Cavanaugh. Plan is to have Sayeed offer Cavanaugh the spot only to have him side with Sweet James. A fun little side story.

And lastly, Christian Price is going to take the TV strap off of Cameron so he can move into a feud with McFly and propel himself into the main event scene.

Everything is coming along quite smoothly.

Bigpapa42 · May 1, 2018

So in my 2K1 WCW Lives save, I switched the product from Popularity = Performance to Popularity over Performance by upping the Comedy two levels. Already noticed a difference. The shows grade a bit better because the angles grade a bit better, and some of the workers are gaining popularity quicker. That's after two episodes of Nitro after I switched. It will also make it easier to borrow my top prospects from development for the B show, help them gain some popularity, so that both helps them be more ready for the main roster move and helps the child companies with their grades.

I made him the new leader of the nWo, gave him the belt for 8 months and he ended up 5th most popular and top ten in the power 500.

PUSH HIM MORE

I made him the new leader of the nWo, gave him the belt for 8 months and he ended up 5th most popular and top ten in the power 500.

PUSH HIM MORE

Lol I don't think I'll be giving him a monster push to the top like that. He might still end up at that level of popularity, though. I am avoiding any stables for now and I generally go with more gradual pushes. Kanyon moved from the starting feud he had with Ernest Miller into a feud with DDP. I'm hoping this solidifies him as a main eventer (he auto-pushes to that but doesn't really have the popularity to carry a show). I've have toyed with the idea of a stable, maybe pairing him up with Kronik, but for the first few months, I just prefer to avoid them. I've been using Kanyon as a slightly unpredictable loner, hints of how I tend to use Raven when I have him. If he hits a solid level of popularity (B range), I would not hesitate to put the belt on him. But being WCW, no world title reign longer than 2 months.

...kidding...

...maybe....

CQI13 · May 1, 2018

I can see why McMahon went after the territories when I play as USPW. Tag champs in another company? Sure, come on over. Top women characters somewhere? Yes please. Someone who is talented but may get lost in the shuffle? Sure!

Took a few people from COTT companies, some from the women's companies (then went into an alliance with them). And let's open up all areas for good measure to bring in Mexican workers.

Trying my hand at building some of those regional teams (Ring Generals, American Cobras), Mexican/Lucha stars (Gino Montero, El Mitico Jr and Mr Lucha III) and most recently Ricky DeColt.

From my opening roster, Rich Money can fight a broom and I would watch.

The honour goes to Findlay O'Farraday's X-Wrestling America. I had to give them a minor facelift because their roster in the 'real' data included a number of guys who I've had move on to bigger and better things or cut down their number of contracts (the regional scene has become pretty homogeneous in the original data, so one of my main actions has been to diversify rosters a bit so there aren't so many shared workers). Still, equipped with a couple of bottom-shelf popularity guys and two newly created tag teams (a pair of big hosses and a pair of polish cowboys), they're officially good to go! I'm interested to see what the AI does with them. They're basically guaranteed to lose their most popular guy immediately (Regular Joe) because he works for a national promotion too, but they seemed to do okay with him as a midcard champ only in the 2010 data in spite of main event overness, so it shouldn't be too bad.

I'm only three months in, but what the heck... Playing as TCW in my first real C-Verse attempt. The first month went well, setting up a development territory and signing a bunchload of talent. The first PPV, Malice in Wonderland, saw Aaron Andrews defeat Rocky Golden to retain the World title, after the surprising debut of Marat Khoklov ran in and attacked Golden. The show went like this: <a href="https://puu.sh/zkQVZ/44c5d658f3.jpg" rel="external nofollow">https://puu.sh/zkQVZ/44c5d658f3.jpg</a>

The second month also went well, all feuds ended and replaced by new (except for two), and at War to Settle the Score, Andrews again retained the World title, this time against Joshua Taylor. I signed Spencer Spade, who is starting out as an enhancement talent, but I hope he'll rise fast. The PPV went like this: <a href="https://puu.sh/AcWYv/bd6534d0b7.png" rel="external nofollow">https://puu.sh/AcWYv/bd6534d0b7.png</a>

So now, I'm at Just Another Day? (Haven't booked the show yet), but I'm hopefull. Taylor gets his rematch against Andrews, while Hawkins and Bach also will go at it again. Marc Speed will defend against Fonzarelli, and again next month. Golden will face Khoklov again and win by DQ, and that leads to a No DQ match at April's PPV, with Golden winning and ending the feud. Edit: Show is over, and it went like this: <a href="https://puu.sh/AfnR8/701f5bb0dd.png" rel="external nofollow">https://puu.sh/AfnR8/701f5bb0dd.png</a>

Depending on how fast Spencer Spade increases his popularity, I'm thinking about having Speed vs Fonzarelli vs Spade either in April or at Total Mayhem in May. Andrews will take on Sammy Bach at Total Mayhem, with Bach picking up the win and his first World title.

I'm also bringing back the All-Action title in a few months (maybe at Total Mayhem in a six-way ladder match) and I'm introducing a Women's Title in six months time.

I have a watcher game going on and NOTBPW are slowly expanding into America. They have stolen Rocky Golden and Sammy Bach and it took Bach going to Canada to become a world champion. Also, Golden is becoming one great worker by rubbing elbows with the phenomenal talent of NOTBPW. His performance skills is B to B+ barring selling which is a solid C/65. As of right now that's the most interesting thing I've seen happen in awhile.

Just simmed two years in my ASCW data to see what would happen now that the workers are updated.

The main take-away is that PGHW are terrifying and need to eat a nerf bat, as they managed to put on 42 shows rated A* in the first year. Time to ruin a few more physical conditions and maybe pre-set some time decline.

Some fun stuff did crop up though. I haven't updated lineages for most companies yet, but 5SSW put the tag belts on the same team three times in a year, the team who at the start of the data have three reigns already.

So there's an alt universe somewhere where Eri Sato and her Hayakawa-trained partner Miiko Otsuka are six time tag champions.

SWF tanked too. They dropped to National and then Cult in about 7 months.

Hype builds.
