Vibert's VLOG: Episode 1

 

 

A few short episodes up next that will show what Phil has been up to in his spare time making plans for DAVE.

 

Soon the diary will go a bit more traditional I suppose is the word, with shows making up 90% of the post. Currently just playing around with the format. I thought I was pretty original using WWE 2k19 but just a few days ago saw that WWE diary that uses it, and uses it really well to be fair! Still, I think it's going to be cool to be able to visualise the c-verse.

<p>Just caught up on this and I love it. It's funny how quickly you can get attached to a rag-tag group of misfits like those in ELITE and I look forward to when they pop up again, and what other characters turn up.</p><p> </p><p>

DAVE related though, I'm also excited for what you have in store! RDJ is a great face for a revamped DAVE and I'm looking forward to seeing who else Kyle sends your way. I expect to see Eddie Peak soon. Hopefully you provide them with fun characters, although maybe less 'extreme' ones, just like the guys in ELITE!</p>

Thanks for the comments. A part of me is sad to say goodbye to ELITE. They are obviously all still in the database so I'll make sure to post and update on them. Most of them other than Big Sal and Troy are very young, so although they are pretty garbage at the moment it's perfectly possible some of them could develop enough to get a spot on DAVE.

 

Although I think cult-style promotions often have realistic/down to earth characters I definitely want to inject some crazier characters into the mix. But I think I'm best doing that slowly. My thinking is everyone has seen these characters for years on Total Wrestling so it would be a bit jarring if all of them suddenly had major gimmick changes. I also want to be strict with myself making sure the diary reflects the actual game. So if somebody has a great gimmick rating in game, I don't want to change it in the game so I won't allow myself to change it on here either.

 

 

 

 

Vibert's Vlog: Episode 3

 

I have most the first show fully written now, but I think they'll be one more VV before predictions go up for the first episode.

This Tuesday on The POP! Network, Danger and Violence Extreme presents the rebirth of the most unmissable 90 minutes of action.

 

Whether you're already part of the DAVE faithful, or if you're simply looking for something new, something fresh, something hardcore... we have the same message to everyone...

 

Welcome to the Dangerzone!

</div>

 

 

 

Main Event

Eddie Peak vs Sammy Bach

Two DAVE alumni battle off to stake their claim to the top of the mountain in what promises to be an extreme main event.

 

DAVE Tag Team Titles

The New Wave vs The Canadian Animals

It's should come as little surprise that Guide and Scout are being welcomed home. Four times already have this duo won these very belts but you can only assume the arrogant and brash duo of Freddy Huggins and Edd Stone will be eager to kickstart their journey into the extreme with a massive win.

 

American Buffalo vs Titan

You could call it the immovable object vs the unstoppable force or simply two giants squaring off. What's clear is neither man will start their DAVE career willing to allow the other an inch of room in a fight for dominance.

Main Event

Eddie Peak vs Sammy Bach

 

This first DAVE has to serve to establish Sammy Bach as the most the DAVE Figurehead, and although I think this match would serve better as the World Title Match, I think is the perfect way to begin this new chapter of DAVE, but I think this match wont end cleanly so we can get a rematch.

 

DAVE Tag Team Titles

The New Wave vs The Canadian Animals

 

Technically, The New Wave are the tag champions because they never lost this titles, but even if they arent considered tag champs, it just makes the most sense for them to win, as the classic DAVE team of excellence, should be the ones to bring back the tag champions instead of some TCW Guys.

 

American Buffalo vs Titan

 

This one is the most curious match, as this is a Heel vs Heel match, so I dont know if this is a usual DAVE thing and Disposition wont be that big of an issue or one of them is turning face, that between this two has to be american buffalo, so Im excited to see where this leads.

Excellent. Cant wait for you to explore characters more and add some more depth to DAVE but the episode episode was great. I really do think that this has potential to be a fantastic dynasty, particular as you adapt to changes. Can't wait until Eddie Peak becomes flabby in TEW, I would like to see if you make that change in 2K too, haha.

 

Good stuff.

I was a little wary of putting such a huge match up on the weekly show. My thinking was A) with it being the first show it has to have something special and b) because this is an A show I'm sort of forced to put on some big matches early on. Hopefully in time I can build people up or learn to rely on angles for grades, but at the moment there aren't too many people who I can rely on to give be at least a B-/B match main event which I really need every week.

I appreciate the DAVE knowledge! I did debate whether to even call it a new reign or simply have them debut on the show with the tag titles, it would perhaps just seem out of character for Vibert to gift them the belts or anything like that.

 

American Buffalo vs Titan

Yes I didn't want to change TCW product too much but if I'm honest I rarely enjoy playing with the face/heel divide on. I always liked the option to have a soft divide as that's exactly what I like. I want there to be good guys and bad guys but most people in between. I like keeping small rosters and it just stops things getting repetitive.

Thanks for the comments. I think trying to add depth whilst keeping the actual writing fairly brief is the main challenge I have really, hopefully in time it comes.

 

100% the ability to adapt is one of the reasons I've gone with 2k. I have actually asked a couple of people already to change size so if that goes bad we could have plenty of flabby people around. But even little stuff like people changing their attire or haircuts every so often I'm hoping will just make it all feel more real. I know there is one gimmick change in particular I'm really looking forward although it's a while ahead.

 

 

Predictions for the next shows will be up soon. I'm not certain exactly what it will be but there will be prizes for the most correct. In fact what I said above has given me a few ideas, maybe something like being able to pick a new outfit or haircut for someone. I'm not sure if that just sounds awful?!

That's good to know. Honestly when I saw Huggins and Stone in their matching outfits, I immediately got into looking forward to when we see splits etc, to see how they change. I mean, you just changing their attire in WWE could actually make you like that person more and give you reason to push them etc. It's fun.

 

As for the prize. I like that as a smaller prize. Maybe give the winner a couple of options or something because I won't lie, Im not creative, so if I win and you give me open choice, I'll s*** the bed.

DAVEEXTREMEREVIEWS

 

Updated roster and title page.

 

<div style=" border: 2px solid black";">

This Tuesday on The POP! Network, Danger and Violence Extreme presents the most unmissable 90 minutes of action.

 

Last week saw Sammy Bach put his body on the line to secure a spot in the 6-way fight for the Unified Title. Who will step forward to claim the second spot this week?

 

Welcome to the Dangerzone!

</div>

 

 

 

Main Event

Ricky Dale Johnson vs BUFF

BUFF's brutal attack of RDJ months back in TCW put 'The Last Real Cowboy' out of action, but the TCW legend has vowed to find revenge. Perhaps BUFF thought he was save from Ricky in DAVE but the 3x TCW World Heavyweight Champion is entering the Dangerzone!

 

Marc Speed vs Elliot Thomas

'The Speedball' takes on 'Super Flight' in what promises to be an exciting match up. Marc is the much more experienced fighter but Elliot will surely be hoping to make an impact too on his DAVE debut.

 

Edd Stone vs Eddie Peak

Despite losing in last week's main event, Peak reportedly demanded fresh meat to enjoy. Edd Stone, who also lost requested a holiday. Only 1 man got what they wanted but which will come away with a momentum shifting victory?

Main Event

Ricky Dale Johnson vs BUFF

 

Ricky Dale Johnson is debuting [today and he is the secondary face of TCW so I would expect him to qualify for the title match and this is the correct way to continue his feud with BUFF, I expect him to qualify later, but you can see Goldworthy blow up if BUFF fails to qualify.

 

Marc Speed vs Elliot Thomas

 

Is Marc Speed still the International Champion? I would think Kyle Rhodes would want to keep all the titles in Total Wrestling, and last show you talked about Titan and Killer Shark losing the TCW World Tag Team Championship

so I assume Speed isnt International Champion anymore, either way Elliot Thomas is a jobber, and today his job is to put Marc Speed over, that can be a serious contender for the main event.

 

Edd Stone vs Eddie Peak

 

Eddie Peak needs to get him momentum back up after the defeat last week so Edd Stone is going to be the sacrificial lamb for Him, I dont know if this is to qualify for the title match but either way this match is for Eddie Peak.

I probably spend 90% of my time booking DAVE, 10% TCW, so I'll only post real short recaps of what's going on.

This Tuesday on The POP! Network, Danger and Violence Extreme presents the most unmissable 90 minutes of action.

 

The third spot in the Elimination Chamber is up for grabs this week and we'll hear from one of the two men who have already qualified for the match; Sammy Bach.

 

Welcome to the Dangerzone!

</div>

 

 

 

Main Event

Scout vs Marc Speed

Neither member of The New Wave have ever held a singles title. An amazing stat considering their dominance of every tag division they have step foot in. Tonight Scout has a chance to earn himself a Unified Title shot at Elimination Chamber but his opponent is fresh off a win last week and equally determined to earn a spot.

 

The Canadian Animals vs Elliot Thomas & Jeremie Courtney

Freddy Huggins and Edd Stone haven't had the best of time so far in DAVE, taking beatings and having their Sister and manager 'stolen' by Dr Love. This match is hopefully a chance to gain some positive momentum.

 

Titan vs Dazzling Dave Diamond

A debut this week for Triple D. Fist fly when this 'Good ol' Southern Boy' hits the ring but he faces stiff competition in the form of the massive powerhouse Titan.

Scout vs Marc Speed

Really like the idea of the two of them (or maybe just one) getting a singles title shot. Vibert offering them the chance after them winning the tag titles was a nice touch.

The Canadian Animals vs Elliot Thomas & Jeremie Courtney

Dr. Love and Huggins has been enjoyable so far and should be a fun storyline, there's a chance The Animals could be screwed out in this match, but given the opponents, I reckon they've got the win.

Titan vs Dazzling Dave Diamond

I just think Titan has more upside. Dave is decent, but I can't see him being a star at any point

 

Just caught up with everything. Enjoyed Vibert's Vlog a lot, and the first two episodes have established some good stuff. The visuals of the WWE game work so well and there's plenty going on from the get go. Really like the look of Goldworthy and Buff together, and I feel like there's a lot of great fits for the new DAVE on the roster. The booking and aftermath of the first main event worked well, and Ricky is a perfect for the role he's in. Looking forward to more, the format of this throughout has been brilliant so far.

<p>Main Event</p><p>

Scout vs <strong>Marc Speed</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<em>As much as I love The New Wave, we all know they are stronger as a team and no so much as individuals, also we have the fact that The New Wave are the tag team champions already, so it wouldnt make the most sense for them to be inside the elimination chamber if they have to defend their titles earlier in the night as is expected that the elimination chamber will happen in a DAVE PPV, so it wouldnt make sense to have a PPV without interesting matches, so a title defense most be on the cards, so The New Wave need to be available to fight whoever they fight, so no elimination chamber for them, also right now there only faces in the elimination chamber, so Marc Speed being one of your top heels which you brought over to DAVE even if less popular than some of the main eventers, is one of the wrestlers with most actual potential in your roster, in no too long we could reallistically see him in a Main Event feud with Sammy Bach as an actual contender to him.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>The Canadian Animals</strong> vs Elliot Thomas & Jeremie Courtney</p><p> </p><p>

<em>The Canadian Animals have two defeats as they lost the tag title match to the new wave, and edd stone was fed to Eddie Peak, and they lost both their managers, they need to win to get back some momentum as they are one of the few teams you have in here so they need to be kept strong and they will win this one their opponents are totally a jobber team.</em></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Titan</strong> vs Dazzling Dave Diamond</p><p> </p><p>

<em>I feel that Goldworthy words are going to be kind of profetic, and in no time I see him alligning with buff and godworthy being a force to be feared, and he is the one with most potential within the two but i still hope this transition to dave can be the thing that saves Diamond career after a lackluster TCW run, tonight he has to lose, but hopfully this doesnt mean he is a jobber, he can be a really reliable midcarder face for TCW.</em></p>

This Tuesday on The POP! Network, Danger and Violence Extreme presents the most unmissable 90 minutes of action.

 

Tonight we get answers to the questions. Who will be the 4th man in The Elimination Chamber? Will Titan join Goldworthy Talent? How will Dr Love. respond to his beatdown at the hands of The Canadian Animals? Will Sammy Bach even be able to respond to his attacker Eddie Peak after the brutal car door attack? As well as these answers we see a new character debut and two stars already in the Chamber will be forced to work together...

 

Welcome to the Dangerzone!

</div>

 

 

 

Main Event

Guide vs Bart Biggins

Neither man is a veteran of the main event stage. It's a huge opportunity for both not just to prove they belong closing shows but also inside the demonic structure that is The Elimination Chamber!

 

'The Last True Cowboy' Ricky Dale Johnson & 'The Speedball' Marc Speed vs BUFF and Titan

Floyd has helped create this match to give Titan a feel of what it's like to be on Team Goldworthy Talent. But the two men already have history fighting each other so it's not clear whether they will gladly join forces. Their opponents have a similar problem though, with both men looking to go in the Chamber with the most momentum it's not clear whether they can trust each other either.

 

'Dr Love' Danny Fonzarelli vs Jeremie Courtney

The head of The Lovely People looks to train himself before his qualifying match next week. Jeremie always puts his all in but surely the muscular heavyweight is too much for him to handle?

<p>I'll hold off on posting the next show to give people longer to predict. There is also an extra prize that is mentioned near the end of this post. In the meanwhile here January in game. This has the ratings for all the TCW and DAVE shows, some of my reasoning for booking decisions and updates on what's going on around world including ELITE.</p><p> </p><p>
