So there's no way to replicate SOTBPW Luchador?

[Wrestling Century]

One thing I was really hoping for was a reality show feature to replicate the SOTBPW Luchador show or WWE Tough Enough, and I swear that I saw this feature in the dev journal. Did I just get mixed up with the WMMA dev journal?

It's in WMMA not TEW. You could just run it as a B show though with your chosen candidates and winner I guess?

I always took the Luchador! as being like the original NXT, where it was a "reality" competition. Since the idea came in the first TEW released after that version of NXT was a thing, it made sense to me.

 

I actually ran a version of it in a TCW game once upon a time. It was a really great to bring up development guys or indie stars without jobbing them immediately. Basically, I stuck each wrestler with a mentor, and each for each win over the course of a month, they would get points. Instead of having a fan vote to eliminate guys, the two guys with the least amount of points would fight and the loser would be eliminated. Rinse and repeat until there was only one man standing.

Running it as a separate brand with a separate product and a B show would probably be the best way

It's something I've always wanted to attempt, especially in previous SOTBPW saves.

 

I feel like it needs to be its' own brand with its' own show on a company owned broadcaster to do without causing significant penalties to pop though.

 

I'm not sure doing it basically 0 pop would be a good idea.

I tried a "Luchadora!" back in 2016, and generally just ran it as an angle (with maybe an occasional match) not unlike that one time Tough Enough was a bit on Smackdown (you know, the one with Daniel Puder and The Miz).

The reality TV show feature you described is in WMMA not TEW 20202.

 

You can create round robin tournaments. You can create a new TV show and feature nothing but that round robin tournament and you could replicate something like that fairly closely with a lot of control over wins and losses and pop shifts. than the "Reality TV show" format of how WMMA does it. IF you have your own broadcaster you can even cancel the show for a few weeks after the tournament ends to mimic "seasons" of the show. All kinds of things you can do.
