WCW Style Product Suggestion?

[Planet Stasiak]

Hey folks, thought this was too big of a question to post in general discussions, so i decided to post it here.

 

What would you say are the best product settings to mimic the Southern Style WCW Wrestling of the 90s? Before the Vince Russo Era of booking.

 

Please explain it according to the in-game Product Editor. Feedback would be appreciated

Traditional- Key Feature

Mainstream- Medium or Heavy

Comedy- Low

Cult- None

Risque- None

Modern- Low

Realism- Medium

Hyper Realism- None

Hardcore- Low or Medium

Lucha- None

Pure- Low or Medium

Daredevil- None

 

Hardcore could go low or medium just based on the occasional bloody brawls they had. I'd go low, but it wouldn't be too out of the question to go medium in my eyes.

 

Mainstream would have to be at least medium, but heavy could be used too. Especially with crap like Robocop being involved or their over the top gimmick matches.

Or The Shockmaster Gimmick for F. Ottman

 

I think the above is just about right, I'm only concerned with the realism and pure possibility of both on Medium lvl, which I think would be far too much of "old skull" wrestling - and wrestlers would be rated more on performance than popularity.

 

I think:

Traditional Wrestling - Key Feature, (that covers the most of the calassic wrestling we could se in early Jim Crockett Promotions, and WCW)

 

Mainstream - Heavy or Medium, Probably having heavy will mean that fans are going to expect at last two good feuds, and i think this is what we have had even before JCP was bought by Ted Turner, and created WCW

 

Pure and Realism - If you have them both on Medium, you may need to have one match as Story Telling on every show, plus slightly higher Match Intensity (probably aroung 40%), and your workers may be tired more frequently - this depenging on Mainstream lvl also.

Having them both on medium, without Mainstream at least on medium, your fan base will expect clean finishes of the fight, which is nowhere near to the WCW product, especially if you remember Dusty booking and his Dusty Finishes, revolutionary at the beginning, boring, annoing and obvious later on.

 

As for the rest of the product definitions, leave yourself backdoor for introducing diffrent product as trends change.

 

==============================================================================

 

Early WCW have only interviews and rare angles, so to start with i would leave match ratio as 70% for TV, and 90% for PPV.

You always have a bit of allowance here so you could possibly book an entire PPV with no angles and still have no penalty.

 

 

I would not use any of the In Ring Rules Buttons.

 

Match danger around 20% i believe and Match Intensity possibly lowest but in my opinion not lower than 20%

[tambourin81]

With Realism at Medium you would need Mainstream at Heavy to get match intensity all the way down to 40%

Definitely not pure at medium or even low.

WCW was more "back to basics" in the ring and that's what Pure is according to the in game definition. Low does sound better than medium because it's not like World of Sport, but low for Realism and Pure sounds about right after thinking about it more.</p>

I'd put Lucha up to medium in mid 90s WCW they had the cruiser weights. I'd maybe put puro at low as they had some Japanese guys. Muta, liger, A few Women at different points.
