Jaysin Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Eric was not in booking/management at all in AWA. He was an announcer and on air interviewer only. Also, he has nothing to do with creating the Team Challenge Series. It was the brain child of Greg Gagne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redhilleagle Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 I've been looking for a mod to take over a dying AWA. Whether the story is accurate or not (I wouldn't have a clue), I'll be playing as them anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsharkbear Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 This would be a very interesting start date for AJPW. At this point Genichiro Tenryu was the second most popular wrestler in the company and was being established as the potential successor to Jumbo Tsuruta. In the middle of 1990, Tenryu and some other key talent left to join the new SWS promotion. This forced Giant Baba to create new stars fast. Mitsuharu Misawa shed the Tiger Mask gimmick and led the Super Generation Army faction (Kobashi, Kawada, briefly Taue, and Kikuchi) to war against Tsuruta-gun. As someone who is currently watching through the AJPW archives for the first time, a January 1990 start date is perfect for fantasy booking an All Japan where Genichiro Tenryu, Yoshiaki Yatsu, Great Kabuki, and others stay with the company and figuring out how the four pillars fit into that story.

Thanks, very helpful. I know by 1990 AJPW was a big deal. I am working on rosters now. But this help me I only know tgat Jumbo Tsuruta, Genichiro Tenryu were ver hyped, algo very good tag team division, by even that I would try to get more info about Japan, maybe after BETA release you can help me with more suggestiones, thanks.

Also, he has nothing to do with creating the Team Challenge Series. It was the brain child of Greg Gagne. I was incredibly tired when I posted this and it seems more blunt and rude than I intended. In reality, I was trying to help the project, not bash what you had written. I'm one of Eric's biggest fans, but he didn't have any backstage powers or input until he was in WCW. Hopefully that helps and doesn't make you less interested in the mod as we are in dire need of a 1990 mod. I'd prefer a January start point, but that's just a personal bias.

No problem , everything is welcome with respect, your comments were fine. About Team Challenges Series there was a lot of controversy who came with the idea Greg Gagne who is in bad relationship with Bischoff since WCW days, claimed (when they were in good relationship in AWA days) for a long time that Bischoff came with this "new" gimmicky ideas. But with the time an the book "Controversy creates cash" Bischoff said that Team Challenge Series was a Greg Gagne idea, and he never had a creative role in AWA dying days. He was just a sales employee turned into an interviewer. About the start month I am working on April, I saw another post who says January would be fine. if more people prefer January than April, I can make it work.

LordofGustav Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 This looks promising By the way It's United States Wrestling Association, not United States Wrestling Alliance. I'm planning to turn AWA into ECW before ECW or ROH before ROH or maybe a mix of puroresu and entertainment in order to fight back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsharkbear Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 My bad on the start date. Even with April in the thread title, I still assumed it was a January start date. As far as AJPW is concerned, an April date wouldn't change anything major as Tenryu worked the AJPW/NJPW/WWF show in early April before leaving.

johnal881 Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share Posted May 15, 2022 If are many requested post change stsrt date to January I can work in that, but as I said excuse me if AJPWwill not be accurate enough, at least in beta release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestarDC Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 I am very excited for this. I have played the September 1990 mod and I feel like I am missing so much of what was my favorite year. January or April - I am just excited to see how it all comes together. Please let me know if you need any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
