I debated using Prime Time as my A show since it's 2 hours and Superstars as the B show, but Superstars & Challenge is where most of the angles were advanced. Not to mention that without Challenge, there's no infamous Barber Shop segment to break up the Rockers with! <img alt=":eek:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I think if you're going to run television properly, it would be Superstars and Challenge. Prime Time was always more of an arena show and while it had some big name matches, most of them were out of context to what was going on in the regular day to day WWF. The interview segments were probably the only thing you'd miss from PT and they can easily be done on Superstars or Challenge.</p>

Thanks for your hard work on this mod! Just out of curiosity, what were the booking decisions that upset Bret and Hercules. I grew up watching the WWF at this time and for the life of me, can't remember.

[justtxyank]

<p>Hercules was essentially turned into a jobber to the stars and was unhappy about it. </p><p> </p><p>

Bret was unhappy with not feeling like he had a future. He was actually set to join WCW in 1992, appearing at the Clash of the Champions at the end of January. He had agreed to a deal and everything that was reported in the Wrestling Observer. However, a contract loophole that the WWF used that caused contracts to automatically renew for another year if you didn't turn in notice by a certain date snagged him and he got stuck in the WWF and couldn't make the jump. </p><p> </p><p>

For what it's worth, this same contract issue caught Shawn Michaels apparently TWICE in the early 90s from jumping to WCW and also caught Ted DiBiase once.</p>

[jgriff3029]

Interesting. Thanks for the reply. These would make an interesting "What if" mod had those three jumped ship.

As previously stated, Bruce Prichard was gone from the WWF at this time and working for UWF.

<p>There was a cut of the WWF Tag Team Titles that I liked that I believe has been deleted from recent editions of nGo:</p><p> </p><p>

Any chance of this one making a comeback? If not, no biggie as I can make a personal version of nGo to make use of it in my own games.</p><p> </p><p>

And I can't remember if I had sent these versions of the IC Title over to you or not.</p><p> </p><p>

As a matter of fact I do.

 

Well, both companies were run on shoe string budgets, so it could be easy to confuse the two.

[Stennick]

Are there supposed to be 11 guys without pictures or am I missing something somewhere?

[LordofGustav]

The Berzerker is set as a face, he should be a heel since he was set to square off against the British Bulldog at Wrestlemania, before it was cancelled.

[YoungNoble]

Very minor detail but the Andre vs Hogan narrative says that WM3 was in 1983

[LordofGustav]

I found a gimmick problem.

 

Animal and Hawk gimmick's status are both set to be random. Both should be established and great.

 

In Berzerker's case, it should be new and below average.

[Stennick]

Some more on Bret's ongoing flirtations with WCW:

 

Yeah that promo where he comes back in October of 96 and agrees to the 20 year deal with the WWF and challenges Austin. Thats when him and Eric met in a hotel room and Eric asked what it would take to get him and he said "Hogan's contract plus a penny".
