If they are face, have Dundee get jumped and temporarily put on the shelf (ideally by an established/veteran star). Have Regal step up to defend his honour but lose the first (probably TV) match and in the build up to the pay-off have him visit Dundee and promise to get revenge on his behalf and in their final segment, have Regal suffer a crisis of confidence and Dundee tell him he’s like his own son and he believes in him. As a response, Regal takes the Sir William name as a moniker to give himself that belief going into the match, then just stick with it when Dundee comes back from his ‘injury’ or even have Dundee say how much it meant to have Regal fighting under his name.

 

If they are heel, have them (especially Dundee) torment someone who is likely younger/more in their prime than Dundee and build it to a match with face vs Sir William. Then when the match starts, bait and switch with a heel promo saying “oh you thought we meant this Sir William? No no no, Regal is also Sir William” and then have Regal dismantle the face and move on using the name.

Started a new TCW game and I'm looking to start a women's division as well as bring back the All Action/ Cruiserweight division. Who should I hire? Looking for about 6 wrestlers for each to start out.

<p>Hey everybody, I'm currently planning a WWE 2011 save and I'd appreciate your input on two things I'm having trouble with:</p><p> </p><p>

-Who would be realistic options for the Anonymous RAW GM? Is Michael Cole too obvious? </p><p> </p><p>

-I'm starting the save the first RAW after the Corre formed and John Cena is scheduled to have a match with CM Punk, leader of the New Nexus. I want to draw this feud out but I don't want to feel like I'm just rehashing Cena's feud with Wade Barrett's Nexus. How can I make it feel fresh/delay the Cena/Punk match?</p>

[RatedRKO16]

I thought for sure it was Triple H when it was going on. Thought it would be the way to kayfabe put him in control of the company. I'd go that route if it were me playing through.

Does anyone have any managerial favorites in C-VERSE USA?

 

I'm too partial to using retired wrestlers myself, but I figured I'd try out some new faces by asking for suggestions here.

Scenario: It's January 2018, the Raw after Royal Rumble. I put Bray Wyatt and Neville in an elimination chamber qualifying match. Bray was supposed to win, but during the match, ruptured his upper lumbar. Thus, Neville won and Bray is out for over a year. After checking the injury, it's 100% permanent leg damage.

 

A few questions, plus my predicament:

 

-I take it that he's done wrestling. Am I correct?

 

-If so, would he be able to be a manager upon his return?

 

So, anyway, I wanted to do Funhouse and Fiend when the time came. But, I probably can't do it with Bray without editing the database. So, the options I was juggling in my head when the 13 months is up.

 

-Bray is a manager and does the Funhouse bit. Another worker does the Fiend bit. So, I've been bouncing Finn Balor (I haven't used Demon Balor), Braun Strowman, Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, Erick Rowan, or Luke Harper around in my head for recasting the Fiend.

 

-If he can't be a manager, just totally recast Funhouse and Fiend to one of the above.

 

-Or, what I don't like doing, editing the database in some way so I just lose Bray for that year, but his in-ring career wouldn't be over (thinking editing the permanent leg damage from 100 to like 30 or 40). Like I said, I don't like doing this, but Bray has been my top heel for 4 years and I still had so much planned for him, so I also really don't like losing Bray.

I don't know the answers to the other questions but if he can be a manager, it'd be cool to have Harper do the Fiend bit given that Harper's a really good wrestler.

I'll tell you what could be fun albeit a bit cheaty in the end. Do the Funhouse and Fiend bit but take it a wildly different direction. Being injured and looking like his in-ring career is over mellows Bray. He sets about becoming the kiddie show host out of a sincere desire to turn a new leaf. But whoever his Fiendish co-host is keeps corrupting the show and taking it down dark alleys similar to what the segments are in reality. Bray wants to fight for the segment's purity but feels he can't because of the injury. Then suddenly a couple years or whatever down the road,BOOM!! Dr. Editor comes up with a new breakthrough surgery Bray can get to become ring capable again. But the world doesn't know it at first. As Bray's getting right, some "avenging angel" starts attacking The Fiend. Maybe even angel puppets appear on the Funhouse to chase away the demonic ones. Then at a key TV episode, the avenging angel is ready to make himself known. He jumps Fiend throws the mask down on top of him and OMG it's a healthy Bray!! Thereby leading to a blowoff Bray v Fiend. Winner gets the Funhouse. Bray wins and maybe it becomes a parody segment after he decides the format needs revamped in the wake of Fiend's damaging influence. Worst case scenario you end up turning him dark again down the road. Only now he's even more dangerous because of his dance in the light and understanding "good" better than he did before.

 

For Bray's "recovery", I'm thinking about real world events like the neck injury that was supposed to end Kurt Angle's career but didn't. Or how Daniel Bryan was thought to be done for a while until he recovered and started wrestling again. Wouldn't be the first time a guy's career looked legit over until advanced medicine found him a new answer. So yeah you might have to cheat a little and use the editor but at least you'd be doing it in a way that there's precedence for. Instead of "Oh I don't want this to happen so it's not."

Right now I am rebuilding Mid-South Wrestling, Use to be part of the Old NWA Alliance. Which brings me to the second thing, Most of the companies that have ever been apart of the NWA Alliance are apart of the Alliance including the Rebranding of ECW(by CPU). I have a Youtube series for it incase people would rather throw something on to watch or throw on in the background while playing TEW 2016.

 

(Thanks to Billy Corgan Owner of NWA for lending me 2.5 mil to rebuild one of NWA's old Alliances Mid-South Wrestling.)

Who would have slammed Andre at WM 3 had it not been Hogan? I just fired him and still want to create the moment.

 

Could Savage had done it? Dusty Rhodes? Roddy Piper? Ricky Steamboat? Would you have Ultimate Warrior be super pushed and do it? Turn Nikita Koloff face and do it with him?

 

The last 2 seem the most realistic but they're far down the card. Theyd need a mega push to go over Andre.

<p>Andre doesn't HAVE to lose. Since you have fired Hogan I'm assuming the Andre match won't be for the title, you just want to have the epic slam? In that case, all you are really looking for is someone who can do a thing that has "never been done before". Someone with a great look, with awesome power.... someone like Tom McGee. He was everything Vince wanted in a potential future champion and this is TEW, so you can rewrite history so that he can become a great worker. And that story can begin with Tom creating a moment like the slam, which can mark the start of a huge program that pays off when he eventually beats Andre somewhere down the line. I'm thinking probably a year later. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

There may be other guys who you could do the same arc for, but that's the first person I thought of and I think it would be a way to get some new talent over. Just need to build him up a little first and then have Andre be like "No way, boss. You gotta go through me!" to kickstart things. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
