Brought back Damian Sandow in my June game, he'll eventually be wrestling again, but for now he will be Assistant to the General Manager (Shane) as Shane McMandow. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I picture him as dyeing white streaks in his hair, wearing kicks, and doing Shane's little dance. Whenever Shane doesn't want to deal with someone's asinine complaints, he'll call in Sandow to handle it.

<p>I've been running a WWE game with one of the Real World mods and I'm about a year in. The three former members of the Shield have been fixtures on top of the card, with Rollins as a not so chickenshit heel champion consistently facing Ambrose and Reigns. I've tried to make Roman a more tweener character, someone loyal to Ambrose but not above bending the rules to get his, keeping Dean the slightly crazed goofball.</p><p> </p><p>

Recently, I've had Roman finally accept the call of the Authority and take Rollins' slot as The Chosen One. This is where I need help.</p><p> </p><p>

I have an idea to make Ambrose a sort of Sting-esque character in the aftermath of being betrayed once again. I want him to kind of eschew the traditional vengeful babyface thing by having him basically stop giving a shit about wrestling. He's so frustrated and jaded with the knives in his back and lack of reward for staying on the righteous path he just kinda snaps. My original idea was to book him so he would come into a match, wreck his opponent to the point of victory, only to walk out of the ring and take a count-out loss. Except he would do this everytime. So over the course of months you have this guy who is the most dangerous player in the game and he couldn't care less about winning. This would inevitably lead him to a showdown with the champ, through some magical booking scenario, where he has the chance to right the wrongs and claim what's his, or throw it all away to continue making a point.</p><p> </p><p>

My concern here is I'm fairly certain having a main event level babyface losing every match via count out isn't gonna have the intended grandiosity and would tank the guy. I've been trying to think of ways to make the same kind of story, but I've been struggling with it. </p><p> </p><p>

So what say you, folks? Any advice?</p>

[MattL1222]

Maybe have him win the matches even still but have him attack his opponent after every match, no matter if they are face or heel?

[CQI13]

You could run angles where he's a "Major Success" to balance out the losses. Maybe eventually he stops wrestling (well, on the main card, still give him wins in the pre-show). Just run your version of Sting angles, where he's watching stuff go down, and in his case chuckle and leave. Eventually, have something truly egregious happen that spurs him into action once again.

<p>Playing as TCW, I just had Guide signed away by USPW and now I'm at a bit of a loss for what to do with Scout. </p><p> </p><p>

Don't really need a storyline for him but has anyone every booked Scout or Guide as singles wrestlers because I'm at a bit of a loss for how I should use him.</p>

In a MA game, I've signed Chris Jericho away from WCW. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with him, should I push him to the world title scene straight away as one of Vince's chosen ones, or have him feud with Rock and Hunter over the IC title?

[NeddyHernandez]

Anybody got any ideas of names for world titles? I'm going to do a brand-split WWE following Battleground and I wanna name the world titles of both Raw and SmackDown, but I want some sort of unique names for the belts, something other than "World" or "Heavyweight" or the like.

Playing TCW and I need a couple ideas for titles. Not enough people for a Hardcore or High Flying division. A 24/7 Title seems really hard to book.

[batsnumbereleven]

How about a Submissions title or a Pure Wrestling title?
