1996: Hostile Takeover BETA Release


Recommended Posts

Loving this mod so far, but some notes I have: looking at the women workers, I don't see Marcela or Princesa Sugehit. I don't know much about modmaking, but is it possible to recreate the exodus of talent from AAA to Promo Azteca?

 

I'm not overly familiar with what happened and exactly when other when a load of talent left for wcw who had a deal with Azteca.

Damn, this is awesome.

 

One thing I think could be looked at is WCW's main event scene. They have 8 Major Stars. I don't think The Giant was a Major Star. He was the champion at Hog Wild, but he was never really a major player for them in that way. Luger definitely should be just a Star. Nash and Hogan are kinda questionable too in my opinion, and Flair had lost a little steam at this point as well.

Nash and Hogan questionable as major stars??

This was the birth of the NWO Hogan, Nash and Hall are the hottest names in wrestling at this point

Yeah, I’d be happy with all of those guys being Major Stars to be perfectly honest.

 

If there’s one advantage that WCW should have over WWF it should absolutely be star power.

 

The challenge with WWF should be bringing up guys like the Rock and Austin, Triple H and Mankind and turning them into Main Event talents alongside guys like Bret and Michaels and the Undertaker, but WCW should be more about trying to work around a bloated roster full of the top talent.

From the observer for oct 14, 1996:

 

There are lots of major behind-the-scenes problems. As mentioned last week, the heat between Konnan and Antonio Pena has built up over a variety of disagreements regarding the pay of the AAA wrestlers while working in WCW, their unavailability for dates in Mexico City and fighting over availability of talent to work Konnan's border shows. It was all expected to come to a head this week and could conceivably wind up with Konnan and the wrestlers who work for WCW switching over to PROMELL, which is going to be re-named PROMO Azteca. Cien Caras has already jumped to PROMO Azteca to join his brothers as the Dinamitas and that promotion is making a big play to get El Hijo del Santo as a regular (he's been going back-and-forth working house dates for that office but still doing his TV with EMLL), the original Mascara Sagrada who has been working for EMLL, and Lizmark Jr. Don't be shocked to see either Mr. Niebla, Miguel Perez or Felino wind up with the group Konnan ends up with, leaving EMLL.

 

I don't know how you'd want to approach this but it seems close enough to the start date that you could make the case to put all the WCW luchadores in Azteca and give them a talent-trading relationship.

I'm about 6 months into a save and loving the mod but just seen that a new update has been released, I was just wondering whether the update is just things like pop and signings for the start of the game? As if it is, I probably won't want to start again!

 

Again can only say how good and addictive this mod is, can't wait for the rest of the pic pack because I loved the events etc you did for KTB!

More things I've caught:

 

1) Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr. are related. Also, Funk either mentor to Tommy Dreamer or good friends.

 

2) Mick Foley and Al Snow good friends

 

3) Arn Anderson strong friendship with Tully Blanchard. Married to someone outside the business.

 

4) Jesse James Armstrong, good friends with Jeff Jarrett

 

5) Dennis Coraluzzo: hatred of Shane Douglas, Paul Heyman, and Tod Gordon.

 

6) Fatu tag team with Samu as Headshrinkers/Samoan SWAT Team, tag title history as well

 

7) Bobby Fulton blood relative of George Hines/Jackie Fulton/The Eagle. They were a tag team for a while as well

 

6) George Hines/etc. tag history with the Patriot, they had success in AJPW

 

7) Dusty Rhodes mentor of DDP, or possibly loyalty

 

8) Brian Lee related to Ron and Don Harris (cousins)

 

9) Brian Pillman friends with the Harts and Steve Austin. Possible dislike/hatred of Sid?

 

10) Bruce Prichard friends with Paul Heyman

 

11) Benoit/Jericho/Guerrero/Malenko friendships

 

12) Curt Henning best friends with Rick Rude

 

13) Joe Malenko as a wrestler. Dean's brother, obviously. Remember him still being active in Japan 10-15 years ago. Showed up in WCW at one point iirc

I can’t find her and I know how to look for workers who haven’t debuted yet.

 

This ain’t my first rodeo.

 

Just trying to offer a little help. I've actually been watching late 96 and early 97 on the network lately. Wasn't implying anything or trying to upset anyone.

Haha all good, old friend. No offence here whatsoever.

 

I was just kindof hoping someone would confirm for me that she’s missing from the mod (or point me in her general direction if she’s called something weird) rather than suggest reasons why I can’t find her.

I was gonna have a look at the data myself, but it kept getting flagged as a dangerous file every time I tried to download it. Never had a lot of success with mediafire.

Yeah, I always ignore that warning. Haven’t had an issue yet with a TEW update or mod!

 

I think that's what bothered me about it, I never get any kind of warning about patches. This was the first thing I've tried downloading from mediafire this year that got a "dangerous file" warning.
