<p>Hey, remember all that debate and discussion as to who was going to join the Four Horsemen in the beginning of the year and eventually I settled on Bobby Eaton?</p><p> </p><p>

Well guess who picked up a shoulder injury at Starrcade and is gonna be out for 2 months?</p><p> </p><p>

It was Bobby Eaton.</p><p> </p><p>

I guess maybe I'll turn Stan Lane face while he's out, since I've already been building the turn, have him return by helping forcibly remove Windham from the Horsemen, then a short feud with Lane to tie up that loose end.</p>

<p>I am currently building a heel stable in SWF with the intent of introducing Spencer Spade and pushing Paul Huntingdon because he needs to have atleast 78 overness according to my owner goals and I never push him ever. </p><p> </p><p>

Right now the Stable is going to include Huntingdon, Spade and The Awesomeness. But, sadly, I am struggling with a name. Any suggestions for name or additional members?</p>

[tizzyt]

I'm running WWE present day and am getting ready for the Brand Split. Much like how the RW is, Dean Ambrose will have the title and be on Smackdown! However, I was thinking about a different way to determine who would face off for the new Raw title.

 

Contemplated doing a series of Elimination style matches, where babyfaces and heels will team together. Obviously, the incentive to work together is that they move on to the next step. I was thinking 3 matches of 4 v 4 Superstars, where the survivors would go on to face off in a match, kind of like Survivor Series 91 (I believe) It could come down to a Battle Royal style match, or a sole survivor from each match could make it a three-way match, but in the end, much like the RW, they will be facing Seth Rollins for the title, but not at SummerSlam, as I've had to make some changes to plans due to Ambrose injuring Rollins at Battleground.

 

Thoughts?

<p>I have a "mystery attacker" storyline going in my WCW 1997 dynasty that I didn't plan out well enough, and now I'm stuck. I have someone mysteriously attacking nWo members, and I was going to reveal the mystery attacker at Starrcade, which is 2 weeks away. </p><p> </p><p>

Here's my problem, I already had Tazz pegged as the mystery attacker, but I can't sign him because he is on a written contract with ECW. I didn't realize ECW did written contracts.</p><p> </p><p>

I wanted someone with shock value, and if I couldn't get that, then I wanted someone who was a big draw or star. The only free agent that showed up that really interested me was Sid Vicious, but contract negotiations went south and now he refuses to negotiate with me. Obviously, anybody from ECW or WWF are out of the question.</p><p> </p><p>

I could always have it be someone on the current WCW roster, someone like Sting, but I don't really want to rehash the Sting/NWO feud at this point. I'd like to bring someone in from the outside. Any recommendations?</p>

<p>You could take some creative liberties:</p><p> </p><p>

Go to the editor and switch Taz's contract to end in 1 day (so you can negotiate). When you sign him, just add some money to ECW and subtract the same from yours.</p>

<p>Clearly, the most historically accurate and most WCW way of handling this problem would be to drop the angle and never mention it again.</p><p> </p><p>

That, or drag the angle out for almost a year, without a resolution in mind, then offhandedly mention that it was Eric Bischoff, then drop the angle.</p><p> </p><p>

Or reveal the attacker to be a framed picture of Scott Hall.</p>

[lois lily]

Johnny Gargano and Will Ospreay have excellent chemistry as a team. What could I name them?

So I have a 26 year old worker with weak on all top row skills and not growing no matter how much I stick him in there with better workers, but excellent performance, strong entertainment and very strong camera. Should I use him like Heath Slater, lots of air time, not alot of wins?

[mjmiller2010]

Using the Art of War mod, about to start with WWF and will eventually use WCW. Can I get some rules for both?

I never use comedy or hardcore stuff in TEW since it just doesn't seem to get good results, I tend to favor Japanese Junior, technician, and luchador workers, and end up with a good mix of brawlers just because they're plentiful.</p>

Playing the Art of War mod, currently in July but will soon be in August. Using the editor I made HBK an active wrestler and put him in DX. I would like to add another member to The Nation so that they're both 5 member stables (Not counting Chyna in DX), any suggestions on who should join The Nation? I was considering Mabel but would love to hear other suggestions.

[FankuKaibutsu]

Is the current lineup Farooq, The Rock, D'Lo, and He Who Would Be The Godfather? What of Mark Henry? New Jack? Bring back Zeus if he's in the mod? Farooq's old partner Butch Reed?

 

To avoid double-posting:

Since 1986, The Jim Crockett Memorial tag team tournament has been the highlight of spring in JCP. Now that its 1989 and Jim Crockett Promotions is World Championship Wrestling and Jim Crockett Jr is no longer with the company, should the event, and it's associated championship title be renamed, and if so, to what?
