same-old-davey Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I have started a real world 2006 game, let the game run for 2 years and then start a local indy with quick fill workers as the initial roster. Specifically, this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatboyVT Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Thinking of starting a 1992 WWF save. Give me some rules for realistic signings. For example, I think it would be unrealistic to go into Canada and sign guys like Jericho and Edge in 1992. I doubt the WWF or WCW had any idea those guys existed in 1992. So how should I go about realistically signing workers. What rules? I was thinking of a few like this... 1) Anybody who has wrestles for an American company with a TV deal. Any wrestler in those companies could be seen on TV, and their existence would be widely known, and it would be easy to get a good scouting report on them. 2) Anyone with a personal relationship with someone in the WWF. For example, blood relatives, friends, etc. 3) Anyone that my creative team recommends. 4) Maybe allow myself to look at the results of an Indy event once every six months or so and pick a wrestler from that event to sign. This would simulate scouting...maybe one of my road agents was at the event to see if there was any decent talent. 5) Anybody who works for a medium sized or bigger foreign company. Any other ideas?

One or two big name stars in other countries e.g. WWF hired Konnan around this time who was basically Hulk Hogan levels of popularity in Mexico, would be realistic as a way of Vince trying to bring fans in from that country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcheoOutOfNowhere Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Never again, you hear me ?!: Due to the recent scandals that might turn even worse for the company's reputation, your new owners do not want to ever hear about a scandal ever again, and want you to act fast and decisively at the smallest hint of it. As such, do not hire anyone caught in a scandal, and fire those who will get caught instantly. (As a bonus point, you can do that with IRL stuff as well, but you don't have to) I could have sworn I left it there: Bring back the 24/7 title, and make it an alliance title. For each show you book, have a segment (either angle or match) between the current champion and someone you'll draw from a randomizer containing every member of your roster (or at least the brand for that show), as well as two wildcards ("Local Worker" and "Local Legend", aka a worker from the region you picked that is free that night, with the choice being yours): if you don't intend for the random worker to win the title, you don't have to force it, unless it's either the Local Worker or Local Legend. In that case, they have to not only win the 24/7 title but get a one year contract. Don't be greedy: A worker can't hold more than one title at a time: if someone has two, they must either defend both at each PPV until they lose one (if one solo title and one tag title), vacate the one with less importance (if they've won a main title and a midcard one), or combine them (if they're at the same level of importance and you don't want two midcard or two main titles). You're not ready: Workers from NXT can only go for a solo (or, in the case of tag teams, tag) career in the main roster if they've won the top title of their division at least once. However, if they go up to join a tag team/a stable, they can do so without restrictions. Mixed Match Challenge: Bring back the Mixed Match Challenge, drawing 16 random people from each division and pairing them as you wish. The winners of the tournament get a title shot of their choice at the Royal Rumble. You already have one: Champions are banned from participating in the Royal Rumble match, even if they're just tag, 24/7 or NXT champions. NXT Worldwide: Every year in January, hire the best under 30yo worker from each nationality (one for each) to a one year contract in NXT. You can skip countries if you want, but must still hire at least 10 people, not counting the US, Mexico and Japan (unless there is simply not enough workers to do so). I'm not a part-time lover: Workers can only work full-time (even if they can be off screen), so you can't have someone showing up for 3 months then go back to their other job until it's Wrestlemania. In other words, The Rock, John Cena, or even Logan Paul and Brock Lesnar (if you don't fire them) can't just do the big PPVs and never have regular weekly matches. Fighting champs: Each title must be defended at least once a month, either on PPV or weekly shows, and preshows do not count. However, having Roman Reigns defend in a one-minute squash against a local jobber is fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its_Legion Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I did a save with the DiabloX database about a year ago with SSE (Basically just super smash bros - the company) and I really enjoyed it, got it to 99 popularity in most regions. I lost interest because I ended up importing other workers into the database, hiring them and kind of messing the whole thing up. Granted, it was honestly really fun hyper-pushing Cody from 0 popularity to world champ in 8 months by going full Codyverse mode, increasingly insane entrances and everything (I remember writing down that he makes his entrance fighting off an army of Shadow the Hedgehog clones and still losing) but eventually I started to get bored, hiring people I didn't really want to use just because they were popular, too many actual wrestlers, etc. I want to give the concept another go, but I want outside rules to maybe keep things in line and for some extra challenge. For reference, the imported workers were mostly people who weren't in the original mod and most F1 drivers that I made for a personal database Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcheoOutOfNowhere Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I like it like that: Unless you have a very specific need for a storyline that can't be filled by anyone in your current roster, you can't sign anyone without firing/letting go of someone else in the same division/role. You can't borrow someone from another company either, unless they hold an alliance title. You're still here ?!: Anyone you haven't used in a year because you had nothing for them must be sent to other companies for at least 6 months, in the hope they'll get some momentum there. Out with the old, in with the new: Except for tag teams, nobody over 55 can still have regular solo matches, and you're not allowed to hire anyone over 50 as an active solo wrestler. However, you can still hire anyone (following the "I like it like that" rule, obviously) if they're there to be a worker's manager or tag team partner. Which one ?: You can't have multiple people with the same first or last names as on-screen characters: you have to pick one, and rebrand the other(s) with a new gimmick or let them go... including different spellings for the same name, with the exception being if they are of different genders. In other words, you can have Billie Starks and Billy Gunn, or Toni Storm and Tony Schiavone, but you can't have Tony Schiavone and Tony Nese nor John Silver and Jon Moxley. I'll let you imagine the despair of having Adam Copeland, Adam Cole and Adam Page at the same time. The Karen rule: Solo wrestlers with less than ideal Mic Skills must be paired with a manager if you want to use them in storylines. Whether that manager has multiple clients, or focus on only one is up to you. Spin the wheel, make the deal ?: Every 6 months, draw a random worker from your roster. You then decide whether they can be in a title chase or not: if they can, you have 3 months to make them the contender; if not, you have 3 months to come up with a storyline to take them off screen... and of your roster (although you can of course simply fire them on the spot).

Dawn Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I've been wondering...what would be some fun rules to ''abide'' by in a 1997 WWF save that I'll edit its starting date before Badd Blood, so it's Brian Pillman centered (codename The Pillman XXX Files)? Basically give me the most chaotic rules you can think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcheoOutOfNowhere Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 You did ask for chaotic rules, so I'm giving you chaotic rules. One of each: One worker from every match that happened in the real life Badd Blood 97 event must win a world title, including the matchs that were supposed to happen (so, Pillman vs Dude Love). The heirs of legends: During the same show, there was a ceremony to pay tribute to legends of wrestling. Your very first 6-way match (whether it's an Elimination Chamber one or something else) must future an "heir" of those legends: if they have one, a family member, if not a student, and if they have neither, someone they fought with (the more often the better). If there are no one that fits any of those three, then hire someone who will be a kayfabe family member. You get a contract, and you get a contract: Pick the "all-time roster" page on cagematch for WWF in 1997, and start from the bottom of the list (so, Zoltan Bigg). One after the other, those workers must get a title shot of your choice: it doesn't have to be a World title, it can be a lowcard title you'll create for the occasion, it can be a 2 min title match against a heel champion, but it has to happen. You can obviously skip anyone who's not in the database, retired, not a wrestler or dead... but you have to do each member of a tag team/stable. If any of these people have a match performance over the lowest of the other workers on the show, they get a year long contract. The Anti-Vince: Create a women division. None of the five first champions can have a Sex Appeal over 60 (or whatever the threshold for "Sexy" would be in that mod). Could you train your replacement before you go ?: Each time someone in your roster retires (either from the ring or entirely), you must hire one of their students to replace them. If they don't have one, congrats, you get a pass. Get it ? Because it's her song ? And he was in the Lip Sync Battle rendition ? No ?: Every worker whose last name is either Taylor or Swift must be hired, and one of them must become tag team champions multiple times with the Big Show. The Alphabet Song: To be able to change your world champion, one of your champions must change for the next letter in the alphabet. For instance, let's say your champions are Bret Hart (World), Owen Hart (IC), The Headbangers (Tag), and Shawn Michaels. In order to have Bret Hart lose, either Owen, Shawn Michaels, The Headbangers or Bret himself must lose it to someone whose first, last or gimmick name (or, for the tag title, one of the members name) starts with A: Ahmed Johnson, Al Snow, Steve Austin, Road Warrior Animal, Aldo Montoya, Tiger Ali Singh, etc are all candidates. Then same with B, C, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Superman 3 of People Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 On 3/11/2024 at 6:56 PM, Andrewpage14 said: Doing a WWE save in 2004, starting from just after the Royal Rumble where Benoit has won, and transferred to RAW ala real life Hitting the Glass Ceiling - Neither Benoit nor Guerrero can win or retain a world title at Wrestlemania 20. Strapping a Rocket - Pick an over-35 midcarder (Recognizable or Well Known popularity) from your roster to win a main event title by the end of May. Because we're creating alternate history, this midcarder cannot be Bradshaw. Putting the Thug in Thuganomics - John Cena must turn heel before Summerslam and stay that way until Wrestlemania 21 at the earliest. Now or Never - If Edge doesn't win a main event title in 2004 then he can never win a main event title in WWE. Killing a Legend - At Wrestlemania 20 or at the following Backlash, have a Hot Prospect or Next Big Thing defeat Mick Foley in singles cometition. Because we're creating alternate history, this rising star cannot be Randy Orton. It's a Mystery - Evolution must eject one member and add two new members prior to the conclusion of Summerslam. Poison Pill - Prior to Wrestlemania 20, hire Hulk Hogan to a contract of one year or more. His contract must include creative control and he must be booked in a match at every pay-per-view he is available for until his contract expires. Hogan will only work matches with wrestlers who are Well Known or better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suplexclub Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Starting a new starting from May 2024. I'm going to go indie and try to crawl my way from local to global. I've planted a few wrestlers I made up myself to debut over the course of the next few years and would love some rules to keep things spicy. My company will be US based and want a golden age ROH vibe with a solid women's division. Any ideas are really appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
