Official "Booking Committee" Thread

[Jazz49ers]

So, for some reason I've yet to find, both NJPW and UWF Japan didn't resign Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama in June 1985. Playing as the WWF, I didn't hesitate to sign him to a contract. Especially since I've been pushing good wrestling instead of the steroid users and big boys.

 

Only problem is, I have no idea what to do with him now or how to push him in the WWF. For the last month, he's been used under his real name, maskless, as a jobber.

 

Any ideas on how to get him going?

1985 WWF, well I wouldn't say cultural sensitivity was a thing yet so... spray him with silver paint, slap a robot mask on him and rename him "Mr. Roboto" after the hit Styx song that was released two years prior. Also have his entrance theme be said song.

So I've had some of Fleisch's data paused since March 2014...with various tweaks and updates, etc. What I've envisioned is a completely separate WWE womens promotion, though still part of the WWE Universe. Starting from that date. Previously the name WWE Divas and calling my TV show Total Divas sufficed, but with the 'revolution' and abandonment of Divas, I'm kind of stumped as what to call the company or the TV show. "WWE Womens" works, but feels uninspired. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas? Thanks.

So its 2004 TNA and I have singed Dustin Rhodes to a lengthy deal. I'm bringing him in to feud with Sting from the get go but need a new name that is more like Goldust than the awful Black Reign. Any suggestions???

Hey everyone,

 

I'm planning on doing a WWE game (based off of Fleisch's June Mod) with three brands, an NXT developmental, and making some of the popular talent (like Lesnar, HHH, and Undertaker) retired.

 

My basic idea is essentially a lot of stable warfare, fresh matchups, and some odd/unexpected/silly pushes.

 

Anyone have any fun rules they want to provide?

No Lesnar

 

You must push a lower midcarder or opener to the main event who is already on your roster in the beginning of the game.

 

 

 

 

I'm looking for some storyline ideas for PGHW. I'm OCD like about having some storylines planned out before I start a game. I like creating storylines for puroresu companies based off of real life sports storylines. For example the Golden State Warriors this year beating the Bull's record but maybe not pulling the title off or the Cinncinati Bengal's wildcard playoff blowup this year.

 

Also I don't understand how a traditional Japanese "3 day event" schedule is supposed to work. I understand that the first 2 events are supposed to be small and build up to the third "super event" and I understand that there are a lot of multi-man matches to help with stamina issues, but are these events supposed to be in a row?

 

If wrestlers are fueding with each other and have a big time match on the third "super event" doesn't that match mean less if those wrestlers envolved are losing events on the first 2 smaller events that happen just recently?

 

Is it frowned upon to have title changes or big matches on the first 2 smaller events?

 

How many multi-man matches should be on the first 2 shows?

 

And finally how long should the first 2 smaller shows be along with the final larger show, and how many people should they hold for PGHW at the start of TEW2016?

 

 

 

Thanks for the help!!!

Just started a WWF game in TGA, so coming into Wrestlemania 3, and I'm bringing in the Freebirds, who I will keep around afterwards but I want to replace Buddy Roberts because he's getting old, and I don't particularly want to use Jimmy Garvin. Any suggestions for a new Freebird?

Especially for PGHW, check out this link:

Not sure how booking works in regards to TEW game mechanics, but typically a "tour" is smaller shows leading up to a big event. Think of it as TV leading into a PPV. You don't give away the money matches for free and any sort of singles match should have a purpose for both wrestlers involved. Use multi-man and tag matches on the smaller shows to build for the big event. The main rivals shouldn't face each other in singles more than once or twice a year if at all possible.

 

Hope that helps some.

[TEWFan]

<p>So I am running my own Best of the Super juniors tournament with BHOTWG and 5 nights in Hyosuke Kokan got injured and will be out for two months. How would you realistically book his exit? Are replacements Ok or I just give points away to his last two opponents as forfeit? Also his partner can't replace him since he is on Block B. I booked him to finish middle of the pack (but slightly better than his partner in order to build up a match between them in a "I am better than you" story for the final show). </p><p> </p><p>

Ideas?</p>

[LordofGustav]

<p>I haven't got TEW2016 yet, but when i get it, i'll play Genadi's TGA's mod as JCP. </p><p> </p><p>

Besides changing WCW to UWC in name terms, i'm planning to steal Sting, Taylor and DiBiase from UWF, also Rick Steiner and his brother Scott (who's in WWA) and Brian Pillman (from Stampede), secure several wrestlers in written contracts so NJPW and WWF don't lay their dirty fingers on them. Also, i plan to steal Lanny Poffo from WWF and turn him into the manager of Kevin Sullivan and then i'll steal Mark Callous from WCWA and i'll start him as "Mean" Mark Callous, but after a while, i'll repackage him as The Undertaker and he'll be part of Sullivan's Army of Darkness.</p><p> </p><p>

Who i should tag Taker with?</p>

[21maxwell]

Babyface team of Evie and Candice LeRae, both of them just want to have fun. Just happy to be there. Any idea's on a team name?

[jeronullet]

Just started a WWF game in TGA, so coming into Wrestlemania 3, and I'm bringing in the Freebirds, who I will keep around afterwards but I want to replace Buddy Roberts because he's getting old, and I don't particularly want to use Jimmy Garvin. Any suggestions for a new Freebird?

 

Mick Foley?, Buzz Sawyer

[KnowYourEnemy]

Shane Douglas

[Slim Jim]

Any interest in The Angel of Death? He was a Freebird hanger-on for a while.

 

When does Diamond Dallas Page debut and is he set up to be in ring or as the manager he started off as in real life?

 

What about Sam Houston? Or is he set to be overwhelmingly face? I could see him taking up with the Freebirds as a way to toughen up his image.

 

DDP hasn't debuted yet (or I can't find him) but he'll definitely have a place somewhere on my roster even if it isn't with the Freebirds.

 

I like the Sam Houston suggestion and might use him with them when they're at a level to feud with Jake Roberts (Jake brings his half-brother in to help him out, they team for a bit and Jake helps him in singles matches until Sam gets frustrated at being "saved" by his big brother so turns on him in a match vs the Freebirds and takes up with them to prove himself).

 

Mick Foley?, Buzz Sawyer

 

I considered both but I want Mick as Cactus Jack and working as crazy lunatic loner that doesn't fit in with the 'modern' glitzy rock 'n' wrestling. Buzz has a note about his demons in his profile and if you're bad enough to have it mentioned in an 80s profile as being noteworthy, then you're probably not long for this world...

 

Shane Douglas

 

Hmm. I hadn't thought of Douglas. He might've been very good, I can picture it better than my actual choice...

 

I went with Brian Pillman in the end. He's in his rookie year so it's a stretch that he'd ever jump straight to the national stage but I can imagine Hayes and Gordy bumping into him on the road somewhere and taking him under their wing. Plus I like the dynamic of the trio in terms of style. Mostly going to use Gordy & Pillman as the most common pairing, with Hayes occasionally going for singles titles with Freebird backing (especially now singles titles can be defended in tag matches).
