(HYPE) Wrestling: The Test Of Time

[Phil Parent]

Wrestling: The Test Of Time

 

- Historical mod with a fantasy twist.

 

- 25 promotions, all with equal popularity in their home territory and nothing but the basic spillover in the rest. Equal money. Each based in their own in-game area. All areas are of equal importance / community size. Level-playing field at the start. Decide: Do you run your own area to get more popularity in it or do you try to infringe on the other guy's territory and risk war?

 

- Each promotion has 25 wrestlers that are associated with the area picked from throughout wrestling history, from the late 19th century to modern times. Everybody initially has 1 year written deals. Promotions and promoters will be tuned so that they stick to the in-game roster size limits as much as possible. Roster size penalties will be on. If I could make the roster size OBLIGATORY I would.

 

- Wrestlers' ages are scaled according to how far back in history they wrestled: George Hackenschmidt & Frank Gotch will be at the end of their careers, with them properly set to decline and consider retirement by the point the game starts, while Will Ospreay (if he is even in the game at the start...) will most likely be 18, and somebody you'll have to develop. Of course, the skills of the wrestlers represent them at that age.

 

- No unemployed workers at the start of the game.

 

- All promotions have dojos. Promotions get a one graduate every three months. It will be a fully developped (according to age) worker, but you might not always get what you want. Say, you start the game running the Mid-West territory and you have Lou Thesz, Harley Race, Frank Gotch, Verne Gagne & Nick Bockwinkle on your roster at the start. Even though Gotch is about to turn into powder, I'm not gonna throw Brock Lesnar or Randy Orton at you and make the Mid-West into even MORE of a goddamn death row. Nah, after three months running Mid-West, you'll get Ed Chuman. A road agent in the game. So if you are unhappy of the work Toots Mondt has been doing for you, and you need a new right-hand man for Sam Muchnick, then put Chuman in his place. Otherwise, I don't know, don't sign him and let him go to free agency, don't waste a roster spot.

 

- This means free agents will be few and far between. Expect bidding wars. Also, I'll throw you a curve and spawn somebody that doesn't fit anywhere straight to the free agents, once in a while. I have 4 feds in Japan, Kazushi Sakuraba doesn't fit in any of them... but he sure is great. Bid.

 

- TV deals are open at the start, but none of them are national. All of them cover one area. Getting your own is one of your goals, getting another area's is a tremendous advantage over the promotion that runs there.

 

- Alliances. There are a few. McMahon Jr (New England) and McMahon Sr (Tri-State) Crocketts (Mid-Atlantic) & Eddie Graham (South East US). UK&Ireland (Orig Williams) & Continental Europe (Otto Wanz). Pacific Islands (Lia Maivia) and South West US (Roy Shire). Western Canada (STU!) and North West US (TBD).

 

- On the other side of the coin, The McMahons don't like Crockett & Graham, and for WHATEVER REASON (it makes the game more interesting) Mid-South (Paul Boesch) can't stand Mid-West (Muchnick) . Oh and Strong Japan (Inoki) doesn't like Royal Japan (Baba). And Mexico can't stand Puerto Rico. And Quebec isolates itself, because that's what Quebec does.

 

- All-World, All-Stars, All-History! For the glory of your home territory! How long before CM Punk or Daniel Bryan spawn and anchor your area? Why did you get Mark Laurinaitis instead of Punk? Can YOU stand the test of time and take over the world with your roster of local time travellers?

 

Coming soon, before 2116.

<p>For North West you could use Don Owen as he was over Portland in it's prime (noted for having the best Roddy Piper content of anybody)</p><p> </p><p>

Though I'm sure you're well ahead of the game and am eagerly awaiting this, though I may be dead in 2116 <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

So essentially it's War of the Immortals but with a level playing field promotion wise, and later era stars are unlocked as the game progresses.

[Phil Parent]

<p>I don't know War Of Immortals, Genadi mentionned to me it was similar.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm trying to make each fed unique to play, since all of them have their own little drama and such. Right now, I'm working on the design of Tri-State, and it's a simple enough idea: Vince Sr. owns it, and the colour commentator is Paul Heyman, who is malcontent and is set to open a fed if he hits free agency. Sandman, Dreamer, Foley, Dudleys, Pitbulls are also malcontent, and happen to have a great relationship with Heyman, and stylistically fit great with Heyman's potential fed. So, as Vince Sr., one of your challenges is keeping that faction happy or Paul E. will spawn Extreme Tri-State right in your backyard. </p><p> </p><p>

I think the worker spawning mechanic is pretty unique, also that there are no unsigned workers. I haven't put everything in that post either! I've got lots of ideas.</p>

sounds awesome, really hope it comes to fruition

[Phil Parent]

<p>I like all the talk on the British! Gives me names to work with!</p><p> </p><p>

Yes, British Isles is in it. One promotion. The others I haven't posted yet are Ontario, Mexico, Puerto Rico, North West, South West, Great Lakes & Mid Atlantic (WOOOO!)</p><p> </p><p>

About the number of wrestlers, yes they all start with 25 with no free agents to sign, but every three months you get somebody new from your dojo. Won't be a great wrestler every time, won't even be a wrestler sometimes! But I can easily line-up ten years' worth of graduates if I want to, and then you end with 65 workers total to have gone through your fed, which is a lot, not counting that once in a while somebody will spawn in Free Agents and you can get them since they can wrestle anywhere (Except Rikidozan, keep reading) and of course if you can do it, steal wrestlers from other territories.</p><p> </p><p>

Japan has four main ones because the scene is huge, second biggest market for wrestling in the world, and the central story in the history of Japanese wrestling is the feud between Baba & Inoki, it was the center of it for 25 years.</p><p> </p><p>

So they each need their own promotion. Doing it like this leaves out all the "indy" wrestlers that weren't from the AJPW/NJPW lineage or aren't identified as being from it. That's Free Japan, which will probably be a popular fed to play as (Dragon/Sasuke/Delfin/TAKA/Hayabusa/Ibushi...) I wanted a women's wrestling promotion, I think that Japan is the place to put it, as that's where they came to be in the first place. So that's four.</p><p> </p><p>

United Japan may open when *spoilers* Rikidozan spawns as a free agent in December 2018 as a "Christmas gift" to both his pupils. It is a wrinkle in their story, after two years of warring, Master Riki coming back to reunite them. I'll try to make it so he can't sign anywhere as a wrestler to improve the chances of him opening it. </p><p> </p><p>

Finishing Promotions tonight, then I'll do more mundane, boring stuff: TV Networks, Dojos, and Venues. And no, this venue file won't be anywhere close to the size of my other one.</p>

Adrian Street & Bobby Barnes (Hells Angels), Clive Myers and Johnny Kwango (the Sunshine Boys), Chris Adams (famed brother of a British Olympic Judo Medallist), Billington (one half of the British Bulldogs), Mark Rocco (Japan's first Black Tiger), Mike 'Flash' Jordan, Billy Robinson (AWA mainstay), Fit Finlay, Jim Breaks, Johnny Saint, Johnny Smith (Stampeded & Japanese star), Pat Roach (movie star), Steve Grey, Bert Assirati (considered by many to be the hardest man ever in a British wrestling ring), Giant Haystacks (slow-moving but effective heel), Big Daddy (wrestling joke ala El Gigante but over), Jim Hussey (Rocco's dad and early star in his own right), King Kong Kirk, Pete Roberts, Tony St. Clair, Steve Logan, Steve Veidor, Terry Rudge, Dave Taylor, Alan Kilby (deaf wrestler), Danny Boy Collins, Wayne Bridges, Norman Smiley (WCW), Mick McManus, and Marty Jones.

 

Then in the modern day we have William Regal, Fergal Devitt, Doug Williams, Marty Scrull, Wade Barrett, Gary Steele, Dave Mastiff, Nigel McGuiness, Adrian Neville, and Drew McIntyre.

 

And that's just a starter for you, all have extensive footage available on youtube and the old ones have write-ups on wrestlingheritage.co.uk

Lack of Robbie Brookside on that list saddens me.

Lack of Robbie Brookside on that list saddens me.

 

The Liverpool Lads were great, but they fall mostly in the late 80s to early 00s period where the UK scene was in the toilet, so it's easy to forget them. They were very good though.

[TsuMirren]

I'd have had Drew McDonald in the list, but I'm biased having actually booked him.

 

I may add a few names later on when out of this meeting.

[KColl]

Drew was a great character wrestler and brawler.

 

My list was never meant to be exhaustive. I look forward

to seeing who you're goanna use.

Adrian Street & Bobby Barnes (Hells Angels), Clive Myers and Johnny Kwango (the Sunshine Boys), Chris Adams (famed brother of a British Olympic Judo Medallist), Billington (one half of the British Bulldogs), Mark Rocco (Japan's first Black Tiger), Mike 'Flash' Jordan, Billy Robinson (AWA mainstay), Fit Finlay, Jim Breaks, Johnny Saint, Johnny Smith (Stampeded & Japanese star), Pat Roach (movie star), Steve Grey, Bert Assirati (considered by many to be the hardest man ever in a British wrestling ring), Giant Haystacks (slow-moving but effective heel), Big Daddy (wrestling joke ala El Gigante but over), Jim Hussey (Rocco's dad and early star in his own right), King Kong Kirk, Pete Roberts, Tony St. Clair, Steve Logan, Steve Veidor, Terry Rudge, Dave Taylor, Alan Kilby (deaf wrestler), Danny Boy Collins, Wayne Bridges, Norman Smiley (WCW), Mick McManus, and Marty Jones.

 

Then in the modern day we have William Regal, Fergal Devitt, Doug Williams, Marty Scrull, Wade Barrett, Gary Steele, Dave Mastiff, Nigel McGuiness, Adrian Neville, and Drew McIntyre.

 

I'd add:

 

Kendo Nagasaki (a must have), Brian Maxine, Wayne Bridges, Jackie Pallo, Mike Marino, Robbie Brookside, Skull Murphy, George Kidd (for his 26 year World Lightweight Title reign), Count Bartelli, Billy Joyce, The Amazing Kung Fu, Bert Royal, Angus Campbell, Al Hayes, Drew McDonald

 

For more recent maybe Joe Coffee, Andy Hogg, James Mason, Dean Allmark,

 

Now, you may want a female so you could have Princess Paula as Finlay's valet. Plus, Kent Walton commentator and Max Ward referee.

 

OOPS: I almost forgot David Morgan

I did put Wayne Bridges in. I'd also should have added Sull Murphy, Sid Cooper, George Kidd, Billy Joyce, Vic Faulkner, Jon Cotrez.

 

And Dean Allmark was my big miss of the recent lads. Also Will Ospreay.

Really looking forward to this mod!

I'm looking forward to this project almost as much as MLB 94
