Sensai of Mattitude Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 TNA's booking has been absolutely awful lately. Having the World title switch hands at a PPV by disqualification? I could understand if it were a lower card title, but the World frickin' title changing hands by DQ at a big event is ridiculous. What makes it even worseis that days before, Abyss had done the job to Kurt Angle on his debut, which didn't even have any relevance to either storyline - if you want Kurt to go over, why have him go over the guy that's gonna win the world title in a few days? Kurt Angle beating Samoa Joe on their first encounter was retarded. They could of at least built the feud up before they go and make Kurt Angle defeat the most entertaining undefeated streak for years. I would have liked to see them build up to it similar to the Rey Mysterio/Eddie Guerrero storyline, having Kut frustrated that he can't beat Joe. And don't get me started on VKM... Just because they got primetime, TNA basically think that they own, and go and declare war on one of the most powerful companies in the world. They need to seriously step up before they go to war with WWE, or they'll get crushed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality, the talent is contracted, and TNA books them on indy shows. They aren't allowed to work for any company that has national distribution of DVD's or television, minus CZW and ROH. In the game, that doesn't work so hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACCBiggz Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 It's really not Forlan. Just my *2 cents*. TNA is unwatchable at times but its due to the writers and storylines that they come up with. Or the WWE jabs that they continue to do, the difference between TNA and WWE is that TNA has some very good matches on a consistent basis. That's their saving grace. WWE is bad on both ends (Although the ladder match at Armageddon was good). I agree that indies are better, but they are more "wrestling" than "sports entertainment" with storylines and writing. I, myself, can't judge them on the same scale because of this. They are different types of promotions, it's like trying to rate NFL, CFL, AFL. Sure they all play football, but they have a lot of different rules that make it difficult to judge them all on one big platau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy_shakerz Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I played a conversion mod and i tryied to do a roster split. Here are the problems 1. Now you can't have more than one parent company. So OVW can't be the development territory of RAW, Smackdown and ECW. 2. The good thing is that you can set the owner to have Small or Medium roster, which allow to have only 30 wrestler in your company while being at Global. 3. They say you don't have enough big names for your size. Maybe the popularity of the worker in this mod were too low but the smaller your roster is, the less big names you have.

gingarob Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Quick question, I was just wondering about the depth you've gone into regarding the UK Wrestling Scene. How many promotions do you plan on having? And more importantly...what are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBriggs Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm still very excited about 07, but the thought of WWE signing a bunch of short Indy workers to PPA deals is bugging me. I thought you could edit Vince to only sign big musclebound roid heads? I wish it wasn't like that, that kills the realism for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBriggs Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Another thing is, I wish TEW had some kind of match engine like TNM. It really wouldn't be too difficult to code but it seems like Adam doesn't like the idea. It'd be nice if we at least had the option, because I'm sure at least some of us would like to read the match results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blasphemywebleed Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 TNM is a wrestling simulator, im not gonna post the link in case i get into trouble lol, but i had version 6 a while back and its quite poor, i think its on around version 7.2 if you search for TNM simulator on google it will come up but its not really worth it in my opinion. its about $65 dollars as well if i remember rightly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 But thats not really a promoter simulation like TEW is. The only thing it has over TEW is the matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
