Playing RW, entering 2016, about to start a stable with these guys.

Leader: Randy Orton

Vet/Flair-type Role: Christopher Daniels

Muscle: recently turned Roman Reigns

Orton's Apprentice: PAC

 

If anyone has any inspired names, please holler. I'm currently coming up with nothing great, lol.

 

Since Orton is often called a "viper", the first thing that comes to mind is The Snake Pit

 

Could play to Daniels' "Fallen Angel" moniker and call them Perdition.

 

Maybe Snake Army combining the "viper" nod with Daniels' Almighty outfit which has a very military general look to it. Heck maybe even bill Chris as "Ring General" Christopher Daniels.

Ooh, I like the possibilities there. Especially attempting to tie Daniels and Orton's characters/past together in some fashion.

 

Appreciate the idea! And also, random but: I really miss the old Storyline system and used your's and Sonfaro's stuff in my personal games quite often!

Glad I could help. And boy do I hear you about the Storyline system. I miss working on the Cappy Pack. Got a bunch of outlines jotted down in the bedroom that could have been perfect for Part 2 and just recently DVR'ed an old Three's Company rerun because the plot line sounded like it had cross over potential. I keep hoping Adam's going to surprise us and make the return of chained stories a late addition. Doesn't seem to be a reason to leave it out since we can now use a road agent note to force angles to progress stories. Thereby solving the big issue the old system had.

Okay. So I take it the storyline is Sullivan confers with Kim Chee and then usurps his control of Kamala. Is the Botswana Beast in your mod at all? Don't remember who he was otherwise or if he might have debuted after 85. But he was essentially an indie version of Kamala a couple years or so later. Maybe Kim Chee could recruit the Beast to battle Sullivan and Kamala.

 

As for not having followed The Dungeon of Doom, I understand completely. WCW's thought process could be rather messy at times and a lot of what they did might feel unwatchable for someone who wasn't there in the moment.

Desperately need a stable name.

 

I got a face World Champion Ernest Youngman and both Storm and Spillane as newly rendered clean cut amateur wrestlers under the name The Storm Brothers with Joanne Rodriguez possibly joining as the Women's Champion.

 

To me they are the equivalent of like The Elite in AEW as the top babyface stable but I can't think of a name that doesn't sound heelish for them. Their main point is that they are very good wrestlers who thrive on competition. No cheating, no major drama, just dedicated babyfaces always willing to test themselves against any opponents. Names like The Supreme, Varsity Club, The Eternals all sound too villanous to me.

<p>The situation:</p><p> </p><p>

The character I need a new name for was part of a babyface comedy tag team until his partner quit. I then sent him on a two-month vacation as I had nothing for him to do immediately and wanted him off TV because I was planning on making some dramatic changes.</p><p> </p><p>

He's ready to come back as an angry loner (likely a heel, especially down the line) who sees himself as an exiled truth-teller. Ideally, I'd like a name that plays off of some aspect of this new character, as I don't want to give him a generic name and I don't want any references to his past (which is why I'm not naming him here.)</p>

Dude was more of a smug, self-assured elitist than an angry young man type. So maybe taking inspiration from him is more a long term goal.</p><p> </p><p> Why was he exiled? Maybe he feels he's a Cassandra. Perhaps to the point he adopts Cassandra as a last name. So Benny Cassandra or something like that. The whole cause of Cassandra's problems in classical times was that while she had the gift of prophecy but no one believed her because of a punishment from Apollo. Could your guy be telling truths no one believes until they come to pass and he's frustrated by their refusals to listen? That could sure make someone heelishly bitter in a hurry.</p>

Any suggestions for a name for a tag team consisting of sami zayn and cesaro. Running a game that starts at the time of the 2016 brand split and they dinged with excellent chemistry so a big push in the tag division is in line.

 

Honor Guard

World’s Finest

<p>Playing a 'WCW Lives' mod as WCW atm.</p><p> </p><p>

Looking to put together a stable/tag team of Samoa Joe (Named Joe Tiare in my development atm), John Cena and Road Dogg (Currently, and likely permanently named BG James).</p><p> </p><p>

I'm looking for suggestions on names for Cena and potentially the stable overall. I was thinking of rolling with Cena as 'Danny James', BG James' kayfabe cousin and having them utilize Tiare as an enforcer for their 'James Gang'. But I'm not sure if I want Cena saddled with 'Danny James' long-term and I'm not super big on gimmick/name resets for guys I want to push when groups break up.</p><p> </p><p>

Any thoughts?</p>

Because I always thought when he was doing the Doctor of Thuganomics bit that he should have been calling himself Johnny C-Note. When Cena was first reaching the spotlight, it seemed like his real name should have been avoided because of the potential for Xena Warrior Princess jokes that could threaten his long term future. Thankfully for him, that appears to have been one of those deals that was just me.</p>

<p>Need a name for the Dudleys, sans Dudley references. Therefore, unless I can substitute the first of the 3Ds, that name is out, too.</p><p> </p><p>

Bully Ray and D-Von Hughes, just doing the gimmick of the former. Heels, but long-term pieces in 1994.</p><p> </p><p>

If they're billed from Hell's Kitchen...</p><p> </p><p>

Kitchen Nightmares?</p><p> </p><p>

3D would become the Expiration Date. "This is your Expiration Date." "You will meet your Expiration Date." "Mark the damn calendar, [date of match] will be your Expiration Date."</p><p> </p><p>

I don't know. That might actually work.</p>
