WWE: 1991 and Beyond (2nd Attempt)

sportsfanmas · October 22, 2018

I've decided to start this dynasty over, with a few changes. I'm going to do an autodraft on the brand split with the original roster, then hire wrestlers to fill gaps.

I haven't decided which shows I'm going to use for the Brand Split yet, but each show will have 2 singles titles to start, and the WWF Tag Team Titles will be a part of both shows (I just couldn't see splitting the Tag Team division up as there aren't enough tag teams to keep things interesting by splitting them up).

The A Brand will have the WWF World and WWF Intercontinental Titles, while the B Brand will have the WWF Million Dollar Title, and a special new title, the WWF Juniors Title. This will be a title designed for the younger talent. I'll have to look at the initial roster to set an age limit, but I'm thinking possibly 30 years old for an age limit.

Once the game does the auto draft, I'll start doing some slight shifting to even things out a bit, and then start hiring talent where I need it.

I've also decided not to have a developmental company starting out at this point, but I might add one later.

I'm going to start the set-up, and then tonight I will announce the shows and the rosters, and the tournament brackets. Enjoy!

sportsfanmas · October 22, 2018

The initial rosters for the Brand Split are set, I will reveal them a little later. I will have the Prime Time brand and the Superstars Brand. I have yet to decide which 2 singles titles will be on which brand.

The only problem at this point is will I be able to utilize Tag Teams without an issues, as several tag teams are split between brands. I thought about creating new tag teams, but I don't know. Maybe someone has an opinion on this? How to deal with tag teams?

Rhyme1234 · October 22, 2018

I think creating New Tag Teams might create opportunities for new storylines. You might want to give each brand a Tag Team titles along with the Junior Tag Team too. I not sure though.

James Casey · October 22, 2018

Use it as an opportunity to mix things up - set up a tag tournament for a month or two in the future with the titles going to the winners, and plenty of opportunity for workers to look for some chemistry/build experience with each other.

I'm not sold on each brand having a set of tag titles though. Watching the tag team division in current WWE is tough because there are very few teams in each division. I. An only see the New Day vs. The Usos vs. The Bar so many times lol

Kind of like a lethal lottery type thing where everybody that isn't starting out in a singles tournament gets paired with some in a massive tag team tournament, and then if they don't have chemistry, don't team them up. Question is should I start this right away or just pair people up for house shows. An interesting theory. Maybe have tag team matches on every show, but don't start an actual tag team tournaments until I've established chemistry with say, 4 teams per brand. I kinda like that

sportsfanmas · October 22, 2018

Vince McMahon has gotten the rosters divided, and he will announce the rosters separately. First, the roster for the Prime Time Brand. He wants it to be known that there is NOT an A Brand and a B Brand here, there are just 2 separate brands that are both considered A Brands. The roster for the Prime Time Brand is as follows.

Main Eventers

Face- The Ultimate Warrior

Heel- Ted DiBiase, Mr. Perfect, The Undertaker, Randy Savage (1 of these heels will be turning face at their first appearance)

Upper Midcarders

Faces- Animal, Tito Santana, Jimmy Snuka, Big Boss Man

Heels- The Barbarian, Haku

Midcarders

Faces- Tugboat, Marty Jannetty, The British Bulldog, Jim Neidhart

Heels- Jerry Sags, Smash, Pat Tanaka, The Mountie

Lower Midcarders

Faces- Butch Miller, Luke Williams

Heels- Kato, Crush

Openers

Face- Shane Douglas

Heel- Brooklyn Brawler

Enhancement Talent

Heel- Barry Hardy

Prime Time Staff

Managers

Brother Love (Heel)

Slick (Heel)

Mr. Fuji (Heel)

Referees

Jim Korderas, Earl Hebner, Jack Doan

Road Agents

JJ Dillon, Pat Patterson, Chief Jay Strongbow

Prime Time GM

Jack Tunney (For Now)

Mr. McMahon has announced that both the Prime Time and Superstars Brand will have an A show abruptly named as the brand name, followed by a B show. The B show will be taped before the A show and shown the next day, while the A shows will be live.

Announcers for Prime Time Wrestling- Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan

Announcers for WWF Wrestling Challenge (B Show)- Mike McGuirk, Shane McMahon

Backstage Interviewer for Both Shows- Gene Okerlund

sportsfanmas · October 22, 2018

Mr. McMahon has announced the 8 man Tournament First Round pairings for the primary and secondary singles titles. The Prime Time Brand will feature the primary title of the WWF Heavyweight Title, while the secondary title will be the WWF Intercontinental Title. Here are the first round pairings.

WWF Heavyweight Title

Randy Savage vs. The Big Boss Man

Mr. Perfect vs. The Undertaker

Ted DiBiase vs. Jimmy Snuka

The Barbarian vs. The Ultimate Warrior

WWF Intercontinental Title

Pat Tanaka vs. Jim Neidhart

Haku vs. The British Bulldog

The Mountie vs. Tito Santana

Jerry Sags vs. Tugboat

Also, Mr. McMahon has announced that all new Tag Teams will be created. On both the A and B shows, as well as house shows, random tag teams will be thrown together (based on disposition of course) to find out who has good chemistry with each other. Originially, those that were not in a singles tournament would be eligible for this, but Mr. McMahon has changed it so that those that are not in a match that particular night might be asked to team up with someone else of a different push.

Starting in March, after at least 3-4 tag teams for each Brand have been made, we will have a Tag Team Tournament to determine the WWF World Tag Team Champions. This championship will be eligible to be defended on all shows and will NOT be brand exclusive.

The WWF Superstars Brand Roster and Titles will be announced at a later date.

WWF Prime Time Wrestling

Monday, Week 1- Jan. 1998

Century II Convention Hall- Wichita, KS

Show Attendance: 4,700

Show Announcers: Gorilla Monsoon, Bobby Heenan

Preshow

The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase got things off to a good start by hosting a pancake feed, and all the wrestlers were satisfied.

Show Recap

Angle- The Boss Speaks

Vince McMahon came out to talk about the Brand Split, saying this was a new beginning for WWF. He announced that each Brand would have their own separate GM, but that Mr. Vincent Kennedy McMahon himself would oversee both brands. He announced longtime WWF President Jack Tunney as the Prime Time General Manager. Tunney spoke that although there wasn't direct competition between the Prime Time Brand and the Superstars Brand, he wanted everybody to know that Prime Time would be the better brand.

Rating: 56

Match- WWF Intercontinental Title Tournament Quarterfinal- Haku vs. The British Bulldog

A hard fought, decent match between 2 of the bigger men in the WWF, but it ended in a bit of an upset, as the former member of the Heenan Family got The British Bulldog to submit, advancing to the WWF Intercontinental Tournament semifinals.

Winner: Haku

Rating: 56

Haku was a bit off his game and got penalized for not having a gimmick going into the match.

Haku's new gimmick is Bad Ass, which got a Very Good Rating.

Haku is improving in performance skills.

Match- Tito Santana and Tugboat vs. The Mountie and Jerry Sags

The first in a series of matches with random tag team pairings to try and develop new tag teams for each show, as Tito and The Mountie carried the load for their teams. Not surprisingly, they were both involved in the fall, as Tito pinned the Mountie after a Flying Forearm in a decent match.

Winners: Tito Santana and Tugboat

Rating: 62

Jerry Sags is improving in Technical Skills.

The Brother Love Show w/ The Undertaker

Brother Love came out and talked a little bit about the brand split, again saying that he still loved everybody, on both shows. Sheesh! He then called out the Undertaker, who he had been managing previously. He professed his love for the Undertaker and said they made a great team. "Undertaker... I looooove yooou!" Taker was having none of it, refusing Brother Love's request to remain being his manager. Brother Love got hot, and started poking at Taker. Big mistake. 5 seconds later, Brother Love was the victim of a Tombstone Piledriver, and the Undertaker had turned face.

Rating: 54

The Undertaker face turn was a complete success.

Match- WWF Intercontinental Title Tournament First Round- Pat Tanaka vs. Jim Neidhart

Another decent match, as both of these former tag team competitors got a taste of singles competition. Tanaka used his martial arts to keep Neidhart off balance for a while, but in the end, Neidhart and his brute strength won out to advance to the WWF Intercontinental Title Tournament semifinals where he will meet Haku.

Winner: Jim Neidhart

Rating: 62

Match- WWF Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round- Randy Savage vs. Big Bossman

Savage really showed his superiority in this one, and quite frankly probably didn't need to resort to underhanded tactics. He did anyways, using the ropes to pin Bossman and advance to the WWF Heavyweight Title Tournament semifinals.

Winner: Randy Savage

Rating: 74

Big Bossman is improving in Performance Skills

Match- The Ultimate Warrior and Jimmy Snuka vs. The Barbarian and Ted DiBiase

Another match with thrown together partners, as this one was a good match. In the end though, the experience of The Million Dollar Man was too much for Warrior and Snuka to overcome, as he got the win for his team.

Winners: The Barbarian and Ted DiBiase

Rating: 70

The Barbarian is improving in Performance Skills.

Ted DiBiase is improving in Performance Skills.

The Ultimate Warrior is improving in Performance Skills.

Match- WWF Heavyweight Title Tournament First Round- Mr. Perfect vs. The Undertaker

Another good match to end the show, as Mr. Perfect did a great job of slowly building this match to a big finish. While the Undertaker, fresh off his face turn, used his famous walking the rope moves, Mr. Perfect took advantage of a few mistakes and shocked the crowd by pinning Taker with a Perfect Plex to end the show.

Winner: Mr. Perfect

Rating: 69

Final Show Rating: 69

The show increased popularity in 9 regions and lost us popularity in 8 regions. Not my best performance, but I'm not overly concerned, as the WWF seems to be so far ahead right now in the United States that it will take a lot of popularity losses to lose our #1 ranking.

Prime Time and WWF Wrestling Challenge Notes

-- British Bulldog and Neidhart have great chemistry. No surprise here, as being family, it's expected they would have good chemistry. I can see them being a tag team regularly.

-- Kato and Barry Hardy didn't work together well at all. They won't be teaming again, obviously.

-- Mr. Perfect thinks Marty Jannetty is turning into a good wrestler and is worth getting behind. I've always liked Jannetty as a talent, it'll be interesting to see what he does as a singles competitior.

-- The Ultimate Warrior doesn't think Jim Neidhart connects well with the fans and is a waste of time. Considering who this is coming from, I'm not putting any stock into it.

-- The Undertaker thinks that The Mountie has charisma and a lot of upside. I agree, I've always liked the Mountie as well, he'll get a chance to shine.

-- WWF Prime Time Wrestling got a 2.47 TV rating.

-- WWF Wrestling Challenge got a 0.15 TV rating.

-- Raven, Steve Regal, and Owen Hart have been signed to contracts and are expected to be used on the WWF Superstars brand in the Next Gen division. Neither of the 3 can report for 7 days though, as they have contract fulfillments to finish with other companies.

-- The British Bulldog has been identified as a steroid user. Not something I want to encourage, but I know that drugs and steroids are going to be a tremendous problem here. I'll give him a slap on the wrist for now

sportsfanmas · October 24, 2018

This is the writing style I will use for this WWF dynasty. I know it is a different writing style than my 4C dynasty, but I wanted it that way. I know that I would probably get more people following and commenting if I used graphics, but to be honest, I'm just not creative enough. I'll just go text based, and hopefully the longevity of this dynasty will draw more followers, and eventually people will start predicting regularly.

As I'm basically doing 3 separate dynasties right now (I'm considering this 2 separate dynasties because of the brand split) my time will be limited, but I will try to book at least 1 show a week for each brand, each dynasty.

If anybody has any comments, concerns, questions, anything, please let me know.

sportsfanmas · October 25, 2018

It is time to reveal the initial roster for the WWF Superstars Brand. Keep in mind this does not include the most recent signings, as they are not yet available to start.

Superstars GM

Vincent Kennedy McMahon wanted to create some excitement among the brand split. He already had the former WWF President as the Prime Time GM, but he wanted to shake things up for the Superstars Brand. So he looked at his roster for someone that had good star quality and good microphone skills. So he went with a different choice. Who will it be? You'll just have to wait until the first show to find out, but feel free to make your guesses!

The announcers for the 2 Superstars Brand Shows are as follows:

WWF Superstars (A Show)- Lord Alfred Hayes, Roddy Piper

WWF Action Zone (B Show)- Sean Mooney, The Genius

Sean Mooney will also act as the backstage interviewer for the brand until another can be found.

sportsfanmas · October 25, 2018

The title tournaments for the Superstars Brand will be announced at a later date. I am considering making the Next Gen Title a non-brand exclusive title that can be defended on all shows, but I have a couple questions I wanted to get answers as far as how TEW works that when you have a brand split but have titles that are defended on both brands.

That, and I am preparing to go out of town for a couple days. Hopefully I'll get my questions answered so when I come back in a couple days I'll be ready to announce the title tournaments for the Superstars Brand. Thanks.

sportsfanmas · November 7, 2018

The tournaments for the Primary and Secondary Titles of the WWF Superstars Brand have been announced. The WWF Million Dollar Championship will be the Primary Title, while the WWF North American Championship will be the Secondary Title. here are the First Round matches for each:

Rick Martel vs. Dusty Rhodes

Earthquake vs. Hulk Hogan

Yea, it's been tough, I finally made the decision to drop my C-Verse dynasty report and focus on this one, as with the brand split this is almost like writing 2 separate dynasties anyways (to a point of course), but the past couple weeks I've been battling the flu off and on. I'd like to get the next 2 shows ran next week before Thanksgiving, and then try to get on pace of 2-4 shows a week (by shows I'm counting the A and B shows both). If I can get 2 game weeks done in an actual rt week, I'll be doing pretty good. People can always predict but at this point I doubt I have a prediction contest until I get this going and show people that I'm going to finally stick with a dynasty report lol. Look for the WWF Superstars and WWF Action Zone report on Monday for sure. Maybe even tomorrow if I'm feeling good enough. Thanks for reading.

WWF Superstars

Thursday, Week 1 - Jan. 1991

Riverside Centroplex - Baton Rouge, LA

Show Attendance: 10,386

Show Announcers: Roddy Piper and Lord Alfred Hayes

Show Recap

Angle- New Superstars GM Announced

The show started with Vincent Kennedy McMahon in the ring, welcoming the fans to see the first ever edition of WWF Superstars since the brand split started. He said that he wanted to think outside the box for the WWF Superstars GM. Someone that had been with WWF for a while, but that had been on the bad end of the law, so to speak. Someone that knew when a wrestler or a manager was on the wrong side of the rules. Someone that could sniff that out and nip it in the bud. He said that there were a couple solid candidates, but that he also wanted someone that would play to the crowd. He then introduced the new WWF Superstars GM, Jimmy Hart!

Hart came out and said that he knew this was a new position for him, that he was used to breaking rules, and now he would be enforcing them! "Look, I know all you fan favorites in the back have been calling me pipsqueak, and you think I'll take the side of the bad guys. But I'm here to tell you that I am going to be a fair GM, and I'm going to call things right.. down.. the.. MIDDLE! And for those of you that want to call me a pipsqueak and challenge my authority, hey I know I'm not the biggest guy out there, so I've went out and I've hired an enforcer, a bodyguard. He will be here, next week on Superstars" With that, Hart and McMahon told the fans to enjoy the show as the crowd murmured about the GM decision.

Rating: 57

Match- WWF North American Title Tournament First Round - Saba Simba vs. Dino Bravo

A good match to start the show with, as neither of these guys are technically skilled in the ring. Bravo used his power though to finish off Simba with his patented side suplex, advancing in the WWF North American Title Tournament.

Winner: Dino Bravo

Rating: 55

Saba Simba is improving in Technical Skills

Interview with Hart and Hogan

Sean Mooney interviewed Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan in lieu of their tag team match tonight against Earthquake and Sargeant Slaughter. Hogan stole the show of course, telling him that he was looking forward to getting his revenge on both the mighty Earthquake and that turncoat Slaughter. He said he couldn't think of a better partner to have than the Excellence of Execution Bret Hart. "Whatchu gonna do, brothers, when the Immortal Hulk Hogan and the Excellence of Execution Bret Hart run all over you?"

Rating: 73

Tag Team Match- The Texas Tornado and Nikolai Volkoff vs. Virgil and Bob Bradley

Bradley was a fill-in for Hercules, who could not make the show due to another commitment, and he was no doubt the weak link. Tornado and Volkoff, mostly Tornado, dominated the match. In terms of in-ring performance, Texas Tornado was miles better than any of the others. He got the pin over Bradley in a very short match.

Winners: The Texas Tornado and Nikolai Volkoff

Rating: 67

Interesting note from my Road Agent, as Texas Tornado shone in the match, but was also off his game. Bad gimmick for Nikolai Volkoff, I'll look to change it.

WWF Million Dollar Title Tournament First Round Match- Rick Martel vs. Dusty Rhodes

A great, but poorly placed match that was designed to work the crowd a bit, but they were already still buzzing from the Hulk Hogan interview (I should have known better than to try and work the crowd after a Hogan interview), but both guys gave it their best performance. In the end, it was Rhodes connecting with a Bionic Elbow to score the pin and advance in the tournament.

Winner: Dusty Rhodes

Rating: 67

Rick Martel is improving in Rumble Skills

WWF North American Title Tournament First Round Match- Hawk vs. The Warlord

I wanted these 2 big brutes to go out and brawl, and they did, and did it well too. Unfortunately, there were several issues that hampered the match rating so it wasn't as good as it could have been. They did their job though, at least as far as keeping the crowd hyped. Hawk used his Flying Clothesline to get the win and advance.

Winner: Hawk

Rating: 60

Hawk and the Warlord are both improving in Performance Skills

Warlord was penalized for having a low Morale

Hawk was penalized for being on Hard Drugs during the match, as well as a poor gimmick. Ok, another gimmick to change.

New WWF Superstars GM Jimmy Hart talks with WWF Superstars Referees

Backstage, we saw Jimmy Hart talking with this referee staff of Tim White, Mike Chioda, and Joey Marella. He told them that he wanted his referees to call it by the book, strict. He didn't want WWF Superstars to become a circus show where the wrestlers could do whatever they wanted. Could this mean a lot more DQ matches in the future? We'll see.

Rating: 62

WWF Million Dollar Title Tournament First Round Match- Jake Roberts vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan

A great match between two season veterans as they battled it out. Roberts tried to get away with every trick in the book, being the great heel that he is. In the end, Jake The Snake got Duggan to... tap out? Roberts winning by submission?? Hmm.. anyways, he advances in the tournament.

Winner: Jake Roberts

Rating: 68

Jim Duggan is improving in Performance Skills

Jake Roberts debuted his Crazy gimmick, and the initial reaction was great.

Super Entrance of Hogan and Hart

With the main event just around the corner, Hulk Hogan and Bret Hart made a super, over the top entrance to further hype what was already a very hyped crowd. The entrance lasted 5 minutes and as per usual, Hogan stole the show.

Rating: 91

Tag Team Match- Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan vs. Sgt. Slaughter and Earthquake

With the crowd hyped to the max, these 4 men wrestled an absolutely superb match. Earthquake and Slaughter worked really, really well together, and had they been facing anybody but the Hulkster, probably would have dominated the match. In fact, they did for parts of it, but Hulk being Hulk, used his famous Hulk up, big boot, legdrop combo to pin Earthquake and end the show on a very high note.

Winners: Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan

Rating: 79

Earthquake and Sgt. Slaughter showed excellent chemistry teaming together.

Hulk Hogan is improving in Performance Skills.

Final Show Rating: 78

The show increased our popularity in 12 regions, thanks to Hulk Hogan, of course. WWF Prime Time will definitely have to step up their game.

WWF Superstars and Action Zone Notes

-- Eddie Guerrero and The Samoan Savage have been signed to contracts, and it is expected that 1 or both will compete in the WWF Next Gen Tournament.

-- Vince McMahon has signed a working agreement with NJPW. The agreement states that WWF and NJPW can have the same workers on both rosters, but that neither company can sign a shared worker to a written contract.

-- The biggest news coming out of these shows is Road Warrior Hawk, now know simply as Hawk. He wrestled while wasted on drugs last night, and because of that the Warlord has seen his morale tank for having to wrestle a wasted competitor. I have made the decision to slap him on the wrist right now. Both his former partner Animal and former Demolition member Smash are very happy with my decision, but word around backstage is that Hawk now thinks he can get away with wrestling high every week. That won't last long.

-- As mentioned above, the Warlord has a very low morale for having to wrestle an impaired Hawk on Superstars. Not that I expect the Warlord to be a huge player in WWE, but I want to keep backstage morale as high as possible. Because of that, I have given him a $6,000 bonus that has pleased him very much.

-- WWF Superstars got a 2.59 tv rating, and WWF Action Zone got a 0.17 tv rating.

sportsfanmas · November 20, 2018

Guys, I'm looking for opinions on my writing style. Do you guys like the format? Would you like to see something added? Something changed?

Also, what about the B show? Is the quick write-up good or would you like to see the B shows in detailed recap too? Let me know, as it will probably be next week before I run the next show due to the holidays, but I'm interested in what you guys think.

lionsden03 · November 20, 2018

I like the format as is. I wouldn't really be all that interested in a more detailed writeup for the B shows. Could just be me though. Now onto the shows: WWF Superstars looks to be the "A" show, even though it's only been one week. Of course, we all know who to thank for that...Whatcha gonna do brother when the Hulkster carries WWF Superstars to a higher rating.

sportsfanmas · November 22, 2018

WWF Owner Vince McMahon has just announced the brackets for the Next Gen Tournament, which will be held on the B shows of both brands. The Next Gen division is for ANY qualified wrestler that is 26 years old or younger, doesn't matter the size, the push, anything. The First Round Matches for the Next Gen Tournament are as follows:

Dustin Rhodes vs. The Samoan Savage

Eddie Guerrero vs. Shane Douglas

Shawn Michaels vs. Steven Regal

Owen Hart vs. Raven

It is being rumored that the Next Gen Tournament Championship match will be on the Preshow of the Royal Rumble.
