bizzo2k Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Anyone have any interest in a real life mod for Dec 1933? [bR] As the great one would say, It doesn't matter if you have interest. I've been working on it for the last 6-8 months and am about 75% done. Its heavily researched and extensive with over 100 companies,1000 workers and about 700 pictures. Also its my first Mod, so I will obviously need some beta testers. Thoughts? Questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizzo2k Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 <p><strong>A New Trust: Dec 1933</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Background</strong></p><p> </p><p> By the mid 1920s, fans grew tired of the pro-wrestling that had been popular for the past 15 years. Matches were multi-hour ordeals with less than flashy catch athletes. In response, promoters joined forces with the Gold Dust Trio alliance to maximize profit. The style evolved to the rougher "Slam Bang Western" style that introduced longer programs and shorter more exciting matches.</p><p> </p><p> The late 20's saw the introduction of more appealing (though less legitimate) wrestling stars. Gus Sonnenberg was a football star with a super popular tackle finish that started the wrestling resurgence. With the higher gates, came greed and The Gold Dust Trio alliance dissolved. New alliances were formed and broken and it was every promotion for themselves.</p><p> </p><p> By the 1930s, the world had fallen into a Great Depression and looking for an outlet. Professional Wrestling was at it greatest peak its ever been. Within a few years, nearly every American and Canadian town had its own promotion. It spread across Western Europe and the UK to the east and New Zealand and Australia to the west. </p><p> </p><p> The year 1930 was also the high point of arguably wrestling's biggest draw of all time; Jim Londos. What The Golden Greek lacked in mat bona fides, he made up for ten fold in sex appeal. This was the age of record setting attendance and money all around. A bubble was forming.</p><p> </p><p> It was November 1933 when Jack Curley convened a secret meeting among the world's most powerful promoters. He saw the writing on the wall, the bubble was about to burst. Much like the last wrestling recession, an alliance was formed to maximize profits. Some wrestling wars were ended and some promoters were left in the cold. A new landscape was formed with the creation of the New Trust. </p><p> </p><p> This New Trust was a consortium of Regional Alliances mostly in the Eastern US. It joined together the NWA (Association not Alliance), AWA (Out of Boston), Philadelphia, Chicago and Tom Packs in the Midwest. Additionally, It had connections across North America and talent sharing agreements with England and France. Up at this point, the New Trust was the most powerful alliance the industry had ever seen. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>December 1933</strong></p><p> </p><p> The game starts Week 1 of December 1933. The secret meeting has just created the New Trust in hopes of staving off the wrestling bubble popping. What could possibly work against them? </p><p> </p><p> Here are just a few:</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Greed</strong></p><p><strong> </strong> - The green monster had broken up previous alliances such as The Gold Dust Trio, The Original Trust and The Syndicate. Does this New Trust stand a chance?</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Revenge</strong> </p><p> - Some promoters have been left out in the cold with this new alliance, most notably was Jack Pfefer. Pfefer had a great mind for promoting and a black heart for vengeance. He would sell his own credibility if it meant destroying his enemies.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Envy </strong> </p><p> - With winners came losers. Al Haft's Midwest Wrestling Association found themselves on the outside with most Heavyweights blacklisted from non Trust groups. So along with some smaller feds, formed their own consortium; The Little Trust.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>War</strong></p><p> - The Civil War raging in Spain had already broken up an alliance in the Iberian Peninsula.

Nedew Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 How is this aReal Life Mod? ...Because it's set in real life, with real wrestlers, promoters and promotions? Wrestling history goes back a loooooong way, and there's a lot of interesting stuff from way back when. Obviously very difficult stuff to replicate in such a modern-focused game as TEW, and even harder to research all the little details. As such, mad props bizzo!
