CornellVerse 1977-2027 Sim

[larvicarioz]

Welp it's that time again, after some time away from the game I've come back, embarked on, and completed my classic simulating adventure, with a couple of twists. This uses the That 70s Mod Updated by The Blonde Bomber, I believe from version 1.5 given the wrestlers that are around/not around but I am unsure as I downloaded the database quite a while ago. I also added a few mods of yet to debut workers for CV2020 and potentially some other federations but I cannot remember which.

IMPORTANT: This is NOT an accurate simulation of the true Cverse 1977 data. After experimenting with many sims I got so annoyed at the booking decisions and owner decisions that I chose to make a couple of across-the-board edits to the data. Firstly, all potential bookers start the game with 100 in Booking Skill. This was mainly done to prevent huge companies like SWF hiring terrible bookers (like The Big Easy, who I believe had 21 Booking Skill in one sim) and then causing their own downfall by refusing to sack them. Secondly, all potential owners AND bookers who started the game as active wrestlers were set to only be able to become owners or bookers AFTER the age of 40. This was to prevent instances that I'd had in previous simulations where truly world class wrestlers like Jeremy Stone/Sam Keith would be stuck owning various insignificant-small promotions instead of wrestling at their true levels. Another minor edit was spreading out the opening dates of the three Indian promotions so that they had more chance of survival (set to 1982, 1992 and 2002)

Some info about the biggest companies in the world:

AAFW:

Major Stars: Davis Wayne Newton, Dominic DeSousa, El Mitico Jr, Ernest Youngman, Extraordinario Jr, Panda Mask II, Valiant

Best Match last year: Dominic DeSousa and Panda Mask II defeated Chucky Dorrance and Davis Wayne Newton in a Strap Match (100)

Champions:
World: El Mitico Jr
#1 Contender: Ricky DeColt
Tag Team: Milton Marone and Sammy Smoke
 

BHOTWG:

Major Stars: Bussho Makiguchi, Elemental III, Seiji Jimbo, Tsuneyo Yanagimoto

Best Match last year: Bussho Makiguchi defeated Seiji Jimbo (99)

Champions:
Universal: Elemental III
World Junior: Jotaro Tanaka
Tag Team: Danjuro Kikuchi and Funakoshi
BHOTWG Summit Champion holder: Mokuami Maita
BHOTWG Best of the Super Juniors holder: VENOM

Note that the World Heavyweight title does not exist anymore. This was an issue that kept happening as BHOTWG were often left with no star or major star heavyweights, leading to them abandoning the Heavyweight title and creating one to suit all weight classes. The problem is that if this belt is held by a junior wrestler, given the weight class system, no heavyweights can challenge for it, and so Makiguchi and Jimbo are left without a title to contend for as the AI doesn't want to create a second primary belt.
 

CWL:

Major Stars: Gargantuan, Jet Stream

Best Match last year: Gargantuan defeated James Hernandez (100)

I've got saves every 2/3 years (77, 80, 82, 85, 87, 90, 92, 95, 97, 00, 02, 05, 07, 10, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 25, 27) and there's obviously lots of other information available so feel free to ask for any information about anything at all

2012: Tommy Cornell defeated Spring Break Bart Biggz in a Tables match (CPW)

I love that in an alternate reality, Tommy Cornell isn't just handed HGC and has to work his way up from the indies. The above match sounds amazing and something that default database Cornell would never do in a million years, especially not in 2012.

 

I have only really played in Oceania since 2013, so I'm curious who the biggest stars in the (second) most isolated area in TEW are doing. There's a ton of really great talent at the top end, so I'm surprised the biggest company is only Medium (though it is a pain to get to Big in Oceania as I'm learning right now...)

[JrSquared]

Hey any chance you can like upload this saves file on here & can download to explore? I wish that was more of a thing in this game. I think it would be interesting to see how other saves evolved.

Actually Tommy Cornell was kinda handed everything. He debuted in July 1996 and by the end of the month he was working for two American indies and PGHW, and then a week into August he was hired to a developmental deal by SWF. He was called up in 2002, then poached by CPW (who were about equal to SWF at the time) in 2004, selected as their figurehead in 2008, and then poached BACK by SWF in 2014. He's won both CPW and SWF's World titles three times.

 

In terms of the top ten most popular wrestlers from Oceania in the default data:

Swoop McCarthy: Melbourne Wrestling Federation (Well Known) - Has always stayed in Oceania
Maurice Jackson: Unemployed since debut
Loxley Robbins: Worked for RAW for 8 years then quit
Luke Steele: Unemployed since debut
Blake Belushi: European Wrestling Federation (Unimportant) - Moved from Oceania to Europe in 2024
Frogue Element: Melbourne Wrestling Federation (Major Star) - Stayed in Oceania
Kerry Wayne: Melbourne Wrestling Federation (Recognisable) - Stayed in Oceania and was unemployed until 2021
Rahmel Goode: Unemployed since debut and now retired
Captain Wrestling II: Melbourne Wrestling Federation AND Revolution Australian Wrestling (Major Star in both)
Montgomery Croft: Stayed in Oceania, unemployed now but worked for RAW from 2009 until 2025

 

I'm pretty sure the Oceania scene NEEDED more companies in it but all the ones set to random that debuted before 1997 were screwed and were dead within three years. Had one of them stayed open and then perhaps two Oceania companies were Medium by the end it may have been a different story

This should work to download all the saves! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j4GkPYr-8abGXsimWpj5CoWykZIlLb3g/view?usp=sharing

Feel free to share any interesting info you find that I may have missed

[JrSquared]

Something I thought was interesting was SWF world title reigns in the mid 2000s going to a lot of guys who turned out to be stars in cannon. It seemed like the rosters were well balanced in age too.
