WCW: Heart and Soul

sportsfanmas · June 1, 2017

Well well, a promising start for me in this prediction contest. I'm sure that with the next show, I'll tank any chances I might have had to make the top 8!

The Final Countdown · June 2, 2017

No story update, but I'm at my wit's end right now. I have new worker frequency off. I have regeneration off. So why does the game keep spitting out these randomly generated rookies who use regenerated faces?! No, game; I DON'T want to sign this 20 year old guy from the Power Plant who looks exactly like Hector Guerrero! And I don't want Ax from Demolition (and old man Ax at that!) to be signed to WWE by way of Tough Enough! Is there any way for me to stop this from happening, because it's seriously starting to annoy me.

"Mr. Pump" is a hilarious, yet so appropriate nickname for Scott Steiner LOL

Give me quite a chuckle reading that.

I wasn't sure if it fit the darker sort of character I'm trying to give Dustin as opposed to the goofier Goldust, but I liked it so much that I kept it.

I'm so glad you didn't hold a prediction score asking who would be the first TV Champ because I would have never guessed you would have gone with either Hugh Morris or Fit Finley . Fit is a solid hand in the ring and Hugh I'm guessing hasn't grown into the cancer that he is now a days so both will be interesting picks.

One thing I wanted was for both of the finalists to be heavyweights. Not that cruiserweights won't be challenging for it and we won't have cruiserweights who win the belt, but at least at first I wanted to feature the heavyweights.

The Supershow is shaping up nicely. Booker vs. Sasaki should tear the house down. But I think my favorite part was that segment with Flair and Anderson. I always find it so fun writing for those two because they do have all those years of history between them. It also helps that Arn was always the best voice of reason that anyone could have, which is why he makes a great authority figure for you as well; everyone knows where he's coming from and how unbiased he is. What's his pop look like for you by now? I'm thinking he doesn't start off incredibly well in 2001 mods, but after a year of being commissioner, he has to be more popular than ever before in his career.

It's an interesting dynamic for sure. It's kind of interesting here with Flair as an active wrestler and Arn as an authority figure, because I'm trying to play up their friendship while still having Arn come across as an impartial commish.

Arn's definitely had nice growth in his popularity compared to where he started the game, but it's not as high as where he would've been in his prime. He's roughly comparable to some of the upper midcard guys.

I really like how you've built American Dragon up. That 30-minute draw getting a B+ AND the main event slot was GREAT!

I agree with Beejus that the Flair Spotlight Segment was all kinds of awesome, and I agree with K-Nection that I never would've guessed Hugh Morrus and Finlay would be battling over the TV title LOL Can't wait for the second half of this month.

Putting two midcard guys in the main event would never fly in WWE (unless it's a guy who's suddenly going from Opener to #1 contender in one match), but I thought I might be able to get away with it given my product. It worked out pretty well.

The Flair segment was pretty fun to write. Hopefully the coming direction of the storyline will also be well received.

Well it's taken me longer than I would like to admit but I've finally caught up with all 60 odd pages of this beautiful behemoth of a dynasty. It can be quite daunting trying to catch up with an established story like this but I'm glad I did. Your monthly (bi-weekly now I guess) set up certainly made it easier to digest the shows quickly but it will be good to finally be up to date on the new shows. I look forward to seeing where you take WCW, especially with Bret (who's voice you capture wonderfully) at the helm, no doubt relishing the thought of knocking McMahon down a peg or two.

Congrats on catching up! You might've been in too big a hurry, because the pace is slowing down now. (Not that I'm tiring of it or anything; I'm just taking days away more frequently now.)

Well well, a promising start for me in this prediction contest. I'm sure that with the next show, I'll tank any chances I might have had to make the top 8!

Surely it won't be THAT bad!

(Unless you miss the show entirely, I guess.)

It might be a glitch that was created from Adam fixing another problem.

You could also try setting the date on the worker generation to January 2017 and see if that stops it. I know sometimes the game will create workers out of pure necessity if it thinks the world is just not populated enough....

You might just end up needing to report the issue to Adam though.

I just tested it out using several older patches I still had zipped up on my computer, one going back as far as September, and it made no difference. It's not the balancing issue either. I've seen that in action, in previous saves as well as this one, where the game will occasionally spit out a generic announcer or referee or something if it doesn't think there are enough. That's not what's happening here. On further inspection, this seems to have only cropped up the past three months. I can't find any examples of a single one before then. They threw 4 at me at the beginning of June, including a 19 year old fake Mr. Fuji Power Plant graduate. There were a couple in July as well, but then the game goes freaking haywire at the start of August, giving me 24 regens of old wrestlers. This is a pretty severe problem. I can cope with it for this month if I have to, setting them to out of the business or assigning them random generic pictures, but I'm not taking the time to do that every month. If this becomes a pattern they could overrun the game world very soon, which would kill any immersion I have in the game world (as well as my interest in continuing.)

Beejus · June 2, 2017

I would say it's TEW itself. Because that is what dojos do; they spit out randomly created workers once they don't have any more graduates to release. Tough Enough as a dojo will work fine for a few years, because it will keep bringing out people like Maven and Nidia. But the Power Plant doesn't have that, so it can only make new workers.

Too bad there's no way to turn the Power Plant into a child company instead of being a dojo. Because then you could just send workers down to it instead of it bringing people into the world.

I would've thought that turning off Regeneration and New Worker Frequency would've prevented this, otherwise why are those options even there? How disappointing.

I hope the issue can be resolved soon!

I put in a suggestion in that coincides with this. <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2236078#post2236078" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?p=2236078#post2236078</a> Adam was quick to address psychology so fingers crossed.

Announce Team: "The Professor" Mike Tenay and Bret "The Hitman" Hart http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss322/FCDiary/WCW/TV.jpg</div> The show began with the finals of the tournament to crown the first TV Champion in years. Fit Finlay found himself in the unusual position of being in the ring with a man who was able to keep up with him in a brawl, but he showed impressive strength in spiking the big man with a Tombstone to win the title. (B-) A brief teaser shows Ric Flair and Arn Anderson chatting in the parking lot. Arn apparently likes what Ric has to say and invites him into the building to continue their conversation. (B-) With Etsuko Mita watching on commentary, Akira Hokuto picked apart the unsigned veteran luchadora Esther Moreno. (C-) Bobby Heenan interviews AJ Styles, American Dragon and Chavo Guerrero Jr. about the announcement that since last week's #1 contender's match ended in a draw, they'll meet in a triple threat for the title at the Japan Supershow. AJ and Dragon have no problem with the decision and look forward to the match, but Chavo complains that his "stupid rookie" has no business in the match and it should be him alone challenging for the belt. (C+) All three male members of The Empire joined up to defeat Billy Kidman, Animal and Ernest Miller in a six man tag match. (B) The post-match celebration is interrupted by the Natural Born Thrillers, who challenge The Empire to a tag match "any time, any place." Corino steps up to accept, saying the Thrillers proved they were losers by rejecting an offer to join the group, and he and Candido will prove it even further by defeating them at the Supershow. (B+) <div style="text-align:center;">Spotlight Segment: http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss322/FCDiary/WCW/Flair.jpghttp://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss322/FCDiary/WCW/Bischoff.jpg After the Thrillers left ringside, Ric Flair stepped out into the aisle. He requested that Bischoff send the rest of The Empire to the back, because this is about the two of them and no one else. He promised to stay in the aisle and not try to attack Bischoff, but Eric was skeptical, asking why he should trust the word of "Slick Ric." Flair swore on his legacy, on his honor and on his kids that he would not step one foot closer to the ring. Eric gave his smarmy little smirk and said Ric had clearly listed those in order of personal importance, but he did as Ric asked and sent the rest of his group to the back. (Though they had quite the staredown with Ric as they passed him, and Eric made it clear that they would be close by and ready to "put the Nature Boy down like Old Yeller" if he broke his word.) Once it was just the two of them, Bischoff asked what the point of all this was. Was he here to celebrate being let back into the building by Arn Anderson? Or did he wish to congratulate King Corino on his glorious victory at Bash at the Beach, and finally admit that Eric was the better man, The Empire was the future of this business and Ric's star was already burned out? Ric more or less ignored Eric's taunts. He wasn't in the mood for bickering or jokes tonight; it was serious business. At first he'd felt betrayed when Double A hadn't let him into the building, but after a week to reflect he'd come to realize that Arn's words had been correct. "Arn Anderson's the best friend I've ever had in my life. He knows me better than maybe any human being walking this planet, even myself, and what he said to me last week was a wake-up call. It's no secret that I hate your guts, Bischoff. I hate you more than I've ever hated another man, in this business or outside of it, and I've been letting that hatred blind me. Sting, a man who I've gone to war with hundreds of times in my career, if not thousands, and a man that I've always respected even when we were bitter enemies, has had my back through all this. He's the conscience of WCW, and he knows what a scumbag you really are, Bischoff. He's offered his support in this fight, but I've been trying to do it alone. We took your boys on in a tag match at Slamboree, and I let you distract me and walked into an obvious trap because that's how much I hate you. I sent Stinger away at Bash at the Beach and took on Corino alone, knowing damn well that you and your little cronies would get involved. I tried to march into Nitro the past two weeks to fight my way through every last member of The Empire, by myself, just so I could get to you. To make a long story short, I wasn't acting like Ric Flair. I was acting like the kinds of guys that Ric Flair and Arn Anderson were one step ahead of for our entire careers, and it took Double A's tough love to make me take a long, hard look in the mirror and admit it. "Arn told me to take a week and think about how I would've handled this ten or twenty years ago, and I took his advice. The old Ric Flair never would've allowed anyone, especially a little worm like you, to goad him into obvious traps. The old Ric Flair never would've been stupid enough to try and tear the entire Empire down by himself. How would Ric Flair and Arn Anderson have dealt with this when we were riding in the limos and flying in the jets every single night? For one thing, we never would've allowed ourselves to be at a disadvantage. But how would we end this war, once and for all? How do you settle something like this, Bischoff?" "Here's how. On September 22nd, WCW's got a big PPV event set for Charlotte, the heart of Flair Country, and that's where I'm going to get you out of my life for good, Bischoff. Two teams. Two rings. No pinfalls, no disqualifications, nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Bischoff...I want The Empire in a match that will take all of us beyond our limits. I want them in THE match beyond. I want....WAR GAMES!" That got a nice pop. Eric stood there with a stunned look on his face and made no reply before we cut to commercial. This was a really good segment though. I let both guys go without a script, and while they didn't excel, neither of them screwed up either. Most importantly, it advanced this storyline in a major way. Grade: A</div> The Destroyer dominated Air Paris. © Shane Douglas comes out to berate Destroyer and Father Isaac after the match, calling Destroyer a "witless idiot" and Isaac a fool for thinking that he was some easy target. Isaac explains the attack wasn't personal and they have nothing against Douglas; they just want his title, and they'll hurt him to get it. Shane backs off a bit but agrees to give him a title shot, so long as Isaac agrees not to instigate any additional sneak attacks. The bargain is struck.

Unnatural flees with no real harm done. (B) Shane Helms prevailed over Cash in cruiserweight action. (B-) Stacy Keibler and The Jung Dragons go to Arn Anderson's office to complain about "outsiders" Kojima and Tenzan getting a title shot, especially after their huge victory over the Thrillers recently. Arn arranges for a PPV spot where they can try and impress him, in a match against a new addition to the tag team division. He refuses to give any hints as to the identity of this mystery team. (C-) The Hardys prepared for the title defense against Kojima and Tenzan with an emphatic victory over Shawn Stasiak and Elix Skipper. (B) DDP and Kimberly are seen talking backstage, though they both break off once they see the camera around the corner. (C+) Booker T cuts an in-ring promo before the main event. He again brags about being the biggest star and the premiere athlete in all of WCW, the only man deserving of the main event. He all but ignores his next challenger, Kensuke Sasaki, not even referring to him by name, showing just how little he apparently respects him. (A) It was a non-title match, but Konnan knew just what a win over Booker T would do for his career. K-Dawg gave it his best shot, but Booker countered his rolling thunder clothesline with an axe kick and then finished the match off with the Book End. (B) RVD and Mortis pay a visit to Piper's Pit. RVD states how important his individuality and independence is to him. "You might be okay with being just another cog in the machine, Mortis, but that's not me! I'm Rob Van Dam, and I'm one of a kind!" Mortis says that he used to be just like RVD (the whole 'Who betta than Kanyon?' shtick), and that's why he wants to help him. "You're a great athlete, Rob, but you could be so much more with the support of Salvation. At the Supershow, I'm gonna show you that you're wasting your 'one of a kind' talent."

Takemura has decent brawling and technical skills and so gave Fit an interesting match, but the champion retained. © We get a video recap of last week's big segment where Ric Flair challenged Eric Bischoff and The Empire to a War Games match in Charlotte. We plug the idea that Bischoff will respond to the challenge next week on Nitro. © Women's champion Etsuko Mita took on Daffney in non-title action. Daffney's wild and unpredictable style made things interesting, but in the end Mita hit the Death Valley Driver and sent a message to Daffney's partner in Chaos and Mita's challenger on Sunday, Akira Hokuto. (C+) Hokuto comes down to check on her partner after the match, and Mita begins taunting her, telling her she'll do the same to her at the PPV. Hokuto says maybe Mita forgot just who she is and why she should be deathly afraid of stepping into the ring with her, but on Sunday she'll remember it all too well. (B) Hayabusa's high flying skills were too much for Cash to handle. The masked cruiserweight prevailed in his home country with the Phoenix Splash. (B) With Scott Steiner still recuperating from a backstage ambush by The Unnatural, RVD and Rick Steiner tagged up against Unnatural and Mortis. The match ended without much satisfaction, as Salvation walked out for an intentional count out less than ten minutes in. (B) With their IWGP Tag Team belts over their shoulders, Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan cut a promo on the Hardys. They say that the whole world might be impressed with Matt and Jeff for what they've done, but their achievements as a team pale in comparison to that of TenKoji. They say that while the Hardys have been winning titles, losing titles and changing home promotions, Kojima and Tenzan have been completely dominating. They've held the IWGP Tag Team titles for over two years now, and on Sunday they'll prove they are unquestionably the best team in the entire world when they win WCW's tag belts as well. (B+) Main event time, as Kensuke Sasaki took on the massive Destroyer. Sasaki took some punishment, but his great physical brawling style allowed him to take the fight right to The Destroyer in a way almost no one else is capable of. Destroyer's opponent on Sunday, Shane Douglas, made his presence felt by sneaking down to ringside and ramming his challenger's head into the ring post behind the backs of both the ref and Sasaki. None the wiser about the unexpected help, Sasaki finished Destroyer off with a stiff running lariat.

The champion strolled down to the ring with his title belt over his shoulder and made a show of adjusting and polishing it so everyone in the arena focused on it. With an interpreter on hand to translate for Booker, Sasaki spoke directly to the champion. He said he'd heard Booker was disrespecting and underestimating him as a worthy challenger, and this was a major mistake for him to make. He went over his credentials: 7 time IWGP Tag Team champion. 2-time winner of New Japan's annual G1 Climax tournament. Three time IWGP Heavyweight champion. Even a reign as the United States champion in WCW, which he earned by defeating the legendary Sting. Booker was going to need to bring his very best if he wanted to have a chance at retaining his title on Sunday. Sasaki said he'd had a wonderful 16-year career to this point, and he intended to make that career even greater by winning the WCW World Heavyweight championship this Sunday. Throughout it all, Booker continued to dismiss the idea of Sasaki as a threat. He smirked, laughed and sarcastically clapped as the interpreter delivered Sasaki's message and accomplishments. Sasaki didn't take kindly to Booker's attitude. He walked up to the champion, slapped him across the face and dared him to fight right on the spot! Booker scowled, but after several seconds' pause turned to leave the ring. It was merely a ploy though, as the moment Sasaki turned away from him to address the fans again, he took the belt off of his shoulder in order to bash him in the back of the head with it! Kensuke saw it coming though. He blocked the strike and connected with several chops to the chest before slamming the champion to the mat with an authoritative <a href="http://www.puroresucentral.com/gif/SasakiVolcanicEruption.gif" rel="external nofollow">Volcanic Eruption!</a> Sasaki posed with the belt as Booker writhed in pain on the mat, and that was the closing shot of the go-home Nitro.

Beejus · June 8, 2017

WAR! I'm assuming that the September PPV will be Fall Brawl again then? Or are you going to give it a different name? Either way, I'm excited.

Also, I thought it awesome (pun intended) that Douglas attacked Desotroyah on Nitro after making a deal about no sneak attacks. That's our Franchise!

Booker T - Sorry Power Warriah, it isn't happening.

The Hardys - Titles just aren't changing on the Supershow to a team who aren't in WCW. But it should be a hell of a match. I look forward to the Hardys continuing to upstage Booker until the point that he goes after them and has a good feud.

Shane Douglas - Douglas is a perfect heel champion, slimey and manipulative. Booker is a good heel champ too, but he doesn't have the hate-ability factor like The Franchise does.

Chavo Guerrero Jr - I think Chavo's going to do something to cheat a win here, like take "his rookie" down with a Flair feet-on-the-ropes pin or something.

Akira Hokuto - This title can change hands, because Hokuto is part of WCW.

RVD - This would have been a pretty fun match in 2002, I think.

Empire - Where's Candido?

Daniels - Should be a good, big win for Daniels.

??? - The Dragons are cool and all, but I think their posturing will be all for naught.

I've caught up with this diary over the last few lunch breaks at work (Since Saturday to be exact) and I'm absolutely loving it. Excellent to see a young Punk and AJ proving their worth. I'll be keeping a close eye on this in future. Well done FNC!
