i dont understand this, this fued bombed straight away

Somethings wrong with that

[jhd1]

i dont understand this, this fued bombed straight away

Too many shows must have passed between the story being created and the first angle. Happens a lot with multi-brand promotions because the storylines are not restricted to one brand. This means that because all of RAW's shows go first, the storyline is inactive for at least two shows, even if only one day has passed.

[funkyzafara]

If you made the storyline, without "starting" it, and it had just been lying around, it will get a very low rating to start off with. (0 / F-, I believe.)

[-laz-]

i started the storyline the day of smackdown, after smackdown was finished i noticed the starting momentum was 8 and have spent the last 3 weeks trying to improve the momentum

End it and restart it lolz. It was a critical miss to a storyline. Happens sometimes.

Yup, whoda thunk it?

[Tweek It]

In one week during my WWE 2002 game, I've had Tyson Dux become Chris Benoit's protege and Randy Orton become the protege of......TRIPLE H!!

Just when I thought I've stopped Orton's bad behavior quick..

[RatedRKYO]

This isn't one of the backstage things but this is the first time something happened like this in my game:

Wrestlers just started getting fatigued after 1 show. My matches are 12 to 15 minutes most of the time and for two weeks several wrestlers were tired and needed rest. They're all fine now but that was the first time I saw that happen. And they're all in good health too!

[funkyzafara]

Do they work for other promotions too? Mainly japanese ones, as their tours can really take a toll on a wrestler's body.

[Hyde Hill]

House shows also contribute. Plus is it a mod or normal C-Verse?

There's a terrible, terrible joke in there about Benoit teaching Dux to do something... first to others, and then himself.

But I ain't gonna (completely) say it.

No they're all written contracts.

It's a mod. That's the thing. I've had them doing house shows for years (The games started in 2010) and this happened for the first time in 2016.

What's your Match Intensity set to?

[RatedRKYO]

What's your Match Intensity set to?

20% intensity and match danger is 40%

[Hyde Hill]

Well you simply worked them too much, at least a couple of the workers. Long matches after one another or ones with high danger or against stiff workers etc. BTW did you change the product any? This is just normal game behaviour don't sweat it. Most likely those 6 years going full time just added up for multiple workers at the same time. That show was just the tipping point. Also when workers get older their resillience and stamina etc may drop making them more susceptible to stuff like that.

This ought to be interesting, a Canadian brawler owning and booking a Mexican lucha libre company.

I changed it like when I first started the game but nothing drastic. It was just new to me to see wrestlers get fatigued. It hasn't happened since, but it was definitely a surprise. And a little more realistic that the wrestlers were tired.

[LoganRodzen]

Bobby Duncum Jr. died two years before he did in real life... strange.

http://lrodzen.me/images/bobbydies.JPG

[Comradebot]

"The Visionary" Shane Vandross died after falling into a shark tank. Obviously, he never forsaw his own impending doom... oh well, at least CICW won't have to worry about jobbing him for the next year, now!

Bull Sharks ate him?

[Rone Rivendale]

I've been watching wrestling since 1985 but I don't remember Bobby Duncum Jr. Was he a jobber for WCW?

[Bigpapa42]

I've been watching wrestling since 1985 but I don't remember Bobby Duncum Jr. Was he a jobber for WCW?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Duncum_Jr

Yeah, he worked on the midcard (and lower) for WCW in the last couple of years. Also worked for All Japan and ECW prior to that.

[TakerNGN74]

Heather B poses Nude for a popular mens Magazine.

Just got this one and thought it was worth posting.

[Bigpapa42]

I've been playing around with Genadi's 2002 alt mod, where WCW is still around. I set up WCW with a developmental promotion (high regional, touring, with a TV show on syndication) and some talent. Ran a watcher game with it. At the start of 2004, I was surprised to see Low Ki as #4 on the top 100. Then I realized he was still with the developmental promotion, on a developmental deal... but at 99 overness across the US. No reason for WCW to still have in development, but he was...

[TakerNGN74]

Thats WCW for you the real promotion and the promotion in game never knew how to build new stars. I think it is best said on the Rise and Fall of WCW DVD that Goldberg was the only guy who came in non established and got a huge push.

April 2012. Robbie Retro is PSW Champion!

[LoganRodzen]

Jesus Chavez just can't seem to catch a break. He was SWF World champ (Cult) and working for a few other promotions and NOTBPW came in and grabbed him. He apparently had some issue with R.K. Hayes and he was released two days later. Seems strange to me considering he has no relationships with the higher ups in NOTBPW... but he is very popular - 86+ across Canada. The booker is Steve Flash so I guess he was just protecting one of his top dogs over some punk.

I've had that

[TakerNGN74]

Did you have that happen with Heather B or someone different?

[Hyde Hill]

Probably happened to others but Mammoth opening CWWF still made me chuckle. Seems having all the pies of one type was not enough.

[nybrat007]

Stephanie McMahon got into a fight with Alicia Fox over a parking spot... Steph wasn't pleased with the stern warning.

[1234]

I dont know whether to laugh or not :confused:

[TakerNGN74]

To be honest that doesn't surprise me.

[Teh_Showtime]

July 97 as RPW:

I signed Cornell around May, SWF wouldnt sign him back. I tried to get a non aggression with HGC who were Cult (Im regional) and they denied

They jump from Cult to international (almost global) and try to steal Cornell. I apply for non aggression and its accepted :D

[SeanMcFly]

Richard Eisen asked me for his release, of course he's a backstage poison, so naturally...

YOU'RE FIRED!!!

:D

[tristram]

I've been watching wrestling since 1985 but I don't remember Bobby Duncum Jr. Was he a jobber for WCW?

He was part of the West Texas Rednecks with Kendall and Barry Windham, and Curt Hennig.

I hate rap, rap is crap

Good times :D

[Kluge]

Two days into my new SWF game JOJI died at age 19 from falling into a Shark Tank and being ate by their prize speciman Huckleberry.

What kind of Japanese Aquarium names their shark Huckleberry?

The kind JOJI visits.

I love the name Huckleberry... because it's a shark... and they have fins.

Get it? Get it?

Huckleberry is an awesome name for a shark.

LMFAO. Quote of the decade

[Candyman]

More lucky than strange, but I signed a working agreement with CGC three days before they went National and proceeded signed four of my guys to PPA deals that would've otherwise been written. I guess I could've gotten the working agreement after they went National, but it just wouldn't have felt the same.

[BHK1978]

In my NYCW game Whistler has retired and is now a color commentator for me (Which in and of itself is weird for me because I always picture him being the C-Verse version of Jim Duggan. And I am not sure I would be willing to listen to Jim Duggan as a commentator for three hours.).

Anyway, FCW hired him to work for them. He lasted one whole day there before they fired him due to budget problems.:D I just found that weird.

[shadowmaster]

The hiring and firing the next day phenomena has happened in my games pretty regularly.

[Jennie Bomb]

Sean McFly left NOTBPW after his contract expired in April 2010 He remained unemployed until the start of February 2011... when he founded CWWF. This should be fun...

[TakerNGN74]

I have had him found CWWF in games before however its usually in one of my NOTBPW games.

[Jennie Bomb]

The best part is that he's decided to give himself the Officer McFly gimmick.

[TakerNGN74]

Thats Awesome!

[Jennie Bomb]

Oh, it all makes sense now - he's made his sister World Champion. :p

Also: he's now with a promotion he can't work for at 37, so he's on the downside of his career... and he's 99% of the way towards getting in the HOI. Ouch.

[AstroCreep]

EDIT: Wrong thread. Doh!

lol. Well, Sean McFly's back with a company he can wrestle for. Aside from working as the head booker of CWWF as Officer McFly, he's also wrestling as Sean McFly.... as an enhancement talent in Hinote Dojo, lower on the card than The Tic.

EDIT: And WLW as an opener... using the Officer McFly gimmick. This is not a good career move, I don't think. :p

[Comradebot]

I'd like to think "he slipped and fell" is just a story being sold by some devious cruiserweight he squashed one too many times and just got away with murder...

[Candyman]

MOSC just went out of business in my game...their last two events? "On Thin Ice" in April and "The End Is Near" In May.

[racoonie]

Using the June 2010 Real World data, Necro Butcher passed away of an OD about 4 days into my game.

[xphen0m]

I don't know if you'd call this strange, but a few days ago, I saw a newspeice that talked about Brutus Beefcake retiring. A few headlines down...I see "Another Drug Death in Wrestling". I open it up, Brutus Beefcake died from a drug overdose...the same day he retired.

That seems to happen oddly often. My best guess is far too many people throw crazy parties to celebrate their retirement...

<3 this. So classic.

[Derek B]

That seems to happen oddly often. My best guess is far too many people throw crazy parties to celebrate their retirement...

Or that the code for dying from drugs deaths is almost identical to the retiring code. When the retirement/drugsdeath check is run it has certain thresholds for each to happen, so that when it passes the retirement one you get the retirement story... and if it's high enough, you get the death. Since retirements are worked out each year close to birthdays the values involved and the random chances are probably worked out each year which is why you can get both happening at once, rather than a gradual slide...

Or it could be crazy parties... who can really know for sure? :p

[codey]

Gareth Wayne just bought USPW :eek:

Happened in my game as well. Oddly enough, Alicia was still on the roster at the time of Sam's retirement.

[MrOnu]

Happened in my game as well. Oddly enough, Alicia was still on the roster at the time of Sam's retirement.

In my last game, Belle Bryden took over USPW following Sam's retirement. Funny enough, Belle retired from in-ring competition like 2 or 3 weeks after taking over, I thought it was so fitting. Alicia is now working part-time for USPW AAA and 5 Stars.

[Comradebot]

Happened in my game as well. Oddly enough, Alicia was still on the roster at the time of Sam's retirement.

It's not odd at all: Alicia can't become an owner, so she'll never take over when Sam retires.

The same week Strong retired, Alicia signed with CWWF. Guess that'll help the little company get off the ground.

[TakerNGN74]

Jack Bruce signed with TCW in November and has 2 years left on his contract making $70,000/mo.

http://lrodzen.me/images/tommybruce.JPG

When the boss openly admits he doesn't like you on TV you know things are bad. :eek:

[shadowmaster]

Guess Jack will be getting jobbed out

It's not that strange. In real life, most wrestlers who pass away do not wrestle anymore.

[TrekkieMonsta]

Quite an interesting event for me. I signed away Jack Bruce from SWF, and just for giggles I decided to see how high I could bid to get him. I raised it to 100,000 a month, and TCW were still outbidding me money wise!

Found it funny how much some are willing to bid!

[Remianen]

It's not odd at all: Alicia can't become an owner, so she'll never take over when Sam retires.

Yeah, I changed that in my mod, almost first thing. The best thing that could happen to USPW is Alicia taking over. If Jay Chord (JAY freakin' CHORD) can take over his father's promotion, Alicia can take over hers.

[Benrollo]

Quick question about the Underwater Union. Are these all the members; Lobster Warrior, The Cannonball Kid, Jumbo Jackson and Handsome Stranger? Or are there any members I have missed?

[MichiganHero]

Quick question about the Underwater Union. Are these all the members; Lobster Warrior, The Cannonball Kid, Jumbo Jackson and Handsome Stranger? Or are there any members I have missed?

Yeah that's them all. Unless Silver Shark and/or Inky the Squid Boy were in it from 1998 to 2003.

[Benrollo]

Right, cheers. :)

EDIT - Just realised this is in the wrong thread. Meant to post it in the small questions thread. Apologies.

[UkWrestleFan]

Sam Strong & T-Rex have really bonded backstage over a love of modern musicals.

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

One of my jobbers, Santos Gomez, brought alcohol for everyone. Then one of my older road agents, Elmer Patinkin, organized and won a video game tournament.

[funkyzafara]

Why can't she become an owner? I was sure I had seen her take over USPW at some point though?'

EDIT: Alicia Strong.

[20LEgend]

She could in TEW08 but not in 2010 because she doesn't have enough if any business owner rep

[LoganRodzen]

Yeah, I changed that in my mod, almost first thing. The best thing that could happen to USPW is Alicia taking over. If Jay Chord (JAY freakin' CHORD) can take over his father's promotion, Alicia can take over hers.

I looked at it the same way and edited that. Alicia WILL become owner of USPW in my WCW game. Sam is still owner at 74 years old though. :eek: She's head booker at the moment.

[Basmat01]

Yeah that's them all. Unless Silver Shark and/or Inky the Squid Boy were in it from 1998 to 2003.

Silver Shark was working for HGC and in japan at that time, Inky was working in europe/japan

[Scorpio3060]

I looked at it the same way and edited that. Alicia WILL become owner of USPW in my WCW game. Sam is still owner at 74 years old though. :eek: She's head booker at the moment.

It could be that she has no desire to run a wrestling promotion. So people just don't want to be the boss.

[SeanMcFly]

Mighty Cavanagh and Johnny Bloodstone won the Ed Henson Memorial Cup.

MIGHTY CAVANAGH!!!?:eek:

Mighty Cavanagh and Johnny Bloodstone won the Ed Henson Memorial Cup.

MIGHTY CAVANAGH!!!?:eek:

What year? 'Cos I've played up to 2012, and...well, Cavanagh still sucks something fierce, but I could see him being bearable in another couple of years.

[SeanMcFly]

What year? 'Cos I've played up to 2012, and...well, Cavanagh still sucks something fierce, but I could see him being bearable in another couple of years.

2010. First year in.

[Wrestling Century]

2010. First year in.

Did you edit anything to make that happen?

[SeanMcFly]

Did you edit anything to make that happen?

No? Why would I edit anything?

[Wrestling Century]

No? Why would I edit anything?

Because normally someone like Mighty Cavanagh who starts out with not that much popularity or skills doesn't win a Main Event title.

[LoganRodzen]

Jack Bruce signed with TCW in November and has 2 years left on his contract making $70,000/mo.

*PIC*

When the boss (Tommy Cornell) openly admits he doesn't like you on TV you know things are bad. :eek:

Little bit a follow up to this - Jack is jobbing bad (and in the midcard) due to his relationship with Tommy. He shouldn't have wanted so much money or else I would have signed him. Jay Chord is a cheap bastard. :mad:

[LoganRodzen]

Well obviously she's no Victoria Stone. :p

I'm curious in your games (since you've done a lot of testing, long-term, etc.) how long Sam Strong has stayed active in the wrestling business and continued to run USPW? I find it really strange that he's still chugging along at 74 and I'd imagine he's on his way out soon. The end of the Strong-era. :(

[20LEgend]

Found this strange

I actually have her down in BSC (one of my six development territories) training people in 2021. I love TEW because of the differences people will have in their games. It makes for some really fun discussions.

In my opinion nothing is stranger than this...

I believe at a house show HBK once carried a plank to a good main event.

Wait, reports are coming in this was actually the Great Khali. You may now return to the original thread.

Why strange? Doesn't take much to go from 2 to 3. Maybe he learned how to jump? :p

His skills and/or popularity must have improved quite bit from the start of the game then.

[Teh_Showtime]

you can get his pop to B+/A within a month or so, and working with Justice can protect him enough

[Wrestling Century]

I didn't know that. The best that I've really ever gotten out of T-Rex is a C+ match with other Main Eventers.

[LoganRodzen]

T-Rex can get over insanely easy with my product - his menace makes it too easy. :p I picked up Scythe a couple weeks ago and had him destroy people on my B-show before throwing him in a team with Rex. Sure, they jobbed to my tag champions in a pre-show match to get the crowd warmed up, but I don't see it affecting what I plan to do with them. I don't plan on having them hold the tag titles ever - I just want Scythe to pickup whatever "big guy stuff" he can from T-Rex and then move on. T-Rex will have a job on my roster until he retires because gaining popularity with him is quick and then jobbing it away to younger guys is perfect. :D

His skills and/or popularity must have improved quite bit from the start of the game then.

It comes down to your product. I have a traditional-heavy product and his matches don't go very long (that pre-show opener was only 6 minutes!). I've learned throughout the years of TEW that you can book anybody as your world champion if you can hide their flaws. :D


Why strange? Doesn't take much to go from 2 to 3. Maybe he learned how to jump? :p

It's funny you said that because I went and looked up his progression. Aerial is a 30 and Flashiness is a 29 (that's gone down a point the past couple of months). Hoping to see his Aerial at a 31 by the end of April. ;)

[20LEgend]

Running a game on MCD and altered it so that ECW WCW Never went under and my take on how it would be today,
I was testing it out for the first time and after my first TV recording the next day after do a pretty awesome promo I get this regarding Raven who was set to have a huge feud with BKendrik:
http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Capture.png

More annoying than strange but I don't know whether to go on with the game.

And 2 days later http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/Capture-1.png

Dont know what Ive done but at this rate the world isnt going to go crazy

I know your pain. I had Casey Valentine (or Camerson Vessey, can't remember) fall into a vat of liquid nitrogen and die with my very first MAW game. It was a few months into the game and I had to restart. There was no way I could continue an MAW game without the best tag team ever. ;)

[20LEgend]

IDK what I'd do if one of CV2 died in my game, I think I'd just quit trying an MAW game, especially with Valentines loyalty to Rip meaning you can push him quite far without him being stolen

That's why I play with the auto-save OFF!

I'd hate to play for two years, and THEN have a beloved person fall into a shark tank. Poor Shane Vandross... oh well, he wasn't beloved!

[Bigpapa42]

Not really strange, but just something I haven't seen or played with at all. Was doing some testing on a game I'm setting up, and since I was adding a couple of narratives, I decided to add a worker one to see if it was effective at all. Had the "Worker Peaks overall" result with a factor of 10... Whoa... Guy went from C Psychology to A* and everything else jumped huge. Tried it again with a factor of 5. Still a huge jump. Even at a factor of 1, the results can be pretty notable. Fun little thing to play with.

It's not reliable though, heh. Since worker potential is random from game to game, you could wind up with a worker peaking in the B- range. I have several of those narratives in my mod (to create my development trainers) and I got wildly varying results. It taught me to go with a more focused approach (that being, performance skills) with most of them. Although.....

Yeah, it does vary quite a bit. The first worker I tried it on had high potential set in the DB, which I'm sure made a difference. I also tried one on a more veteran worker, with a bit lower strength factor. Their performance skills didn't jump much (alright quite high) but they went from being a pure brawler to very well-rounded. Something weird about a 39-year old going from an F to a B+ in aerial overnight...

So...

I decided to randomly keep my eye on the dirt sheet this month with APWF (I due so once or twice a month, just for kicks)...

And I noticed something odd.

In the main event, Burt Selleck (against Terry Lambert) had a negative for his drinking habit, and only his drinking habit.

The VERY next segment, a brawl which takes place immediately after the match...

Burt Selleck had a negative for his soft drugs habit.

What the...??? Did Selleck show up at the arena drunk and then, midway through his match with Terry Lambert, pause to light up a blunt on local television?!

In my transfer of 2008's Over 9000-verse, KPWW hired master kekkaishi Tokiko Yukimura on Monday. On Tuesday, KPWW fires master kekkaishi Tokiko Yukimura and hires Super Mario, Gauron, Kurz Weber, and... Ayu Tsukimiya, a taiyaki lover who is also a tiny person.


The next day (Wednesday, if you are keeping count), Bill Gates takes over Power Ring Combat and Steve Jobs takes over Great Riots In Norway.

Finally, on Friday, it is leaked that Soul "Eater" Evans will turn heel.

My jobbers help my backstage...on the same night D.C Rayne & Art Reed both did impressions of the other wrestlers.

Im just wondering who they mocked, im sure neither of them had the balls to mock most of my roster. (Brandon James, Buddy Garner, The McWade's, Murderous Mikey, Raul Hughes, Raymond Diaz, Remo, Samoan Machine, and a very angry Rav Kapur who my fans hate so i am jobbing) They probably just picked on Hell Monkey :p

Art Reed is jobbing on a roster that contains Murderous Mikey? Now there's the real strange event here.

Remember when somebody posted an image about the news story saying "The Politics of Kira"? Well, that just happened to me. Awesome.

[1234]

Art Reed is jobbing on a roster that contains Murderous Mikey? Now there's the real strange event here.

Its using the CV 97 mod, and Art hasnt broken out yet and became that good. Murderous Mikey, under the name Mikey The Mobster was one of my brute pushs i have carried out, but that was halted when he was drafted in to be Tag Champion alongside Rich Money (Who's partner Tom Gilmore just won the world title, so had to drop his tag belt). Mikey did a good job for me so has stuck around on my roster, despite only having 1 match in the last 6 months.

Art is currently on my "Pre Show Roster" and is looking to be the break out star of the pack, but has a tough job doing so. He is up against Chance Fortune, Hell Monkey, Sammy Bach, Steven Parker (Who is 18) and William Hayes. And Art has the disadvantage of being ten years older than Parker, who i see as a better prospect.

Not really strange, but more like something random that I just thought of a minute ago.

While sitting down playing TEW, I had the TV on for background, and YTV came on. As I got up to get the remote, one of the characters on the show (The League of Super Evil) was called Molokai Milk. The same name as a character in RAW. Not sure if he's based on the same name or if it was just a coincidence. Either Way, thought it was funny. :D

In my 9000-verse game, I have added a WrestleCrap promotion and 4 (for now) people from WrestleCrap - RD Reynolds, Blade Braxton, Mrs. Deal, and the late Merle Vincent. Blade founded the promotion in April of 2009, great, but Mrs. Deal... founds the 9000-verse version of ECW. Which means that she won't be working for WRESTLECRAP anytime soon. But I'm fighting for the vacant booking position there, so I'll try to steal her...


Well, Cable took WrestleCrap, Neron took ECW, and guess who took Battle Athletes? The 9000-verse rendition of Bobinc. Awesome. Now I'm still out of a job and GDS lost one of their big superstars without the last name Ryland.



Finally, this match happened at an independent show.

Jay has a habit to antagonize people I'm pushing when he's somewhat on the back burner. Both of them are on different brands. You could say Andrews is on the 'bigger' brand even though all three are treated equally in terms of star power.

[JaySticLe of YouTube]

My only deaths were 25 year old Akira Udou (vat of liquid nitrogen), 21 year old OSX 10.3 Panther (golfing accident) and 25 year old Giriko (also a golfing accident). I have death frequency set to high and Kenny Deaths are obviously turned on. And none of them I either cared about or hated. Still waiting for 2010 to hit in my game...

I went straight to the source. Adam Ryland informed me that death is random.

I have a 95 year old man in the mod I'm working on. In test runs he has died or retired between 1 month and 5 years after the 2010 start date.

In 15 test runs it has yet to be the same day twice on death. In one test run he was 99 and still going but I'm almost positive that 100 is an automatic kill switch near his month of birth.

And in general changing his age to make him die won't do much either. I've tried it he'll need to be closer to his b-day to pass away even at 189. Unless you get lucky and it randomly triggers. LOL

National Wrestling Federation opened in January 2014

The National Wrestling Federation are a promotion based in London who come to the table with a fairly simple plan of attack - copy Total Championship Wrestling.

Having seen how 21CW came to dominate UK wrestling by basing large parts of their strategy on the Supreme Wrestling Federation, the NWF chiefs realised that the obvious way to fight back was to copy the one promotion to have given the SWF a run for its money in the US, that being TCW.

Armed with a large debut marketing campaign, NWF hope to take the UK by storm.

Wanna guess who the new owner is.... Tyler Baker

Tyler Baker is a business man who made a modest fortune in the dental hygiene business. He invested some of his money to follow a boyhood dream and form a wrestling promotion, and the result was 21st Century Wrestling which opened in 2001. Although the promotion was a critical success, it was a commercial flop, and was on the verge of bankruptcy by 2006. UK celebrity Jeff Nova stepped in to save it, buying out Baker to become the new owner.

Yup, that'd be the fellow.

I once had an idea of having a diary where he ran a totally scummy company, with such delightful chaps as The Scotsman signed on to it (because Ken Flanagan, rather than being furious, was impressed with the blackmail The Scotsman had on him!)

I booked one or two shows, realized the company simply did too awful for me to get into. A D- show can be disheartening.

That's a HORRIBLE card. The buy rate and attendance is very poor too. Not even a sellout crowd for WrestleFREAKINmania.

During a mod test run when I went back to check on what happened during the year.

Santiago Cortez was sentenced to 2 years in prison for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

[Remianen]

I'd definitely watch a fair few of those matches, but where are the likes of Cena, Orton, Michaels, Triple H, Undertaker...

Exactly! The DB is a conversion of Wrestling in a Recession (from last December) but I fixed all the events and such (even gave Wrestlemania ridiculous event extras). What's funny is, the day before WM25, HBK re-signed. All of their top guns were available (hell, they all worked their respective shows the week before) but none worked the biggest card of the year. In fact, the very next night on RAW, Shawn Michaels defeated John Cena in a match that rated 91 (and Christian dragged Mark Henry to an 86 rated match). I haven't updated the rosters (I can't be bothered, really) so they still have Batista even!

Now you see why the AI needs to be able to "cheat". It's stone stupid even with cheats. :p

[Rone Rivendale]

It is pretty funny that Mysterio and Bourne over The Legacy headlined WM. I guess they were saving The Usos vs The Dude Busters for the next PPV. :D

[Derek B]

Just had an amusing story in my SWF game. As is fairly common, Gregory Black changes his wrestling style from Regular Wrestler to Japanese Junior, feeling that it will help his career. I then go to the autopush (having already done it the day before) and his push changes from upper midcard to midcard. Smart move, bro! :p

They did still pull out a B with that card. At global, a B should be enough to maintain. So maybe AI-McMahon is just giving the finger to the game world by showing what he can manage without his big guns....

Not all that 'strange' I guess, but took me by surprise.

Move over Crippler Ray Kingman and Steve Flash, the C-Verse now has a NEW best road agent AND best trainer. :)

Based on the other stories going on in your game, he was clearly so overrcome by El Patron's heroism that he couldn't go on wrestling. :p

In a watcher game I'm enjoying, George DeColt and Zoe Ammis have fallen victim to Kenny deaths. Zoe fell out of a window. It's not pleasant, but it's not that remarkable.

George DeColt, Canadian wrestling legend and member of the Hall of Immortals... was gunned down by a SWAT team at the age of 67.

[juggaloninjalee]

What could George DeColt possibly do to have a SWAT team gun him down?

[MichiganHero]

What could George DeColt possibly do to have a SWAT team gun him down?

It was the Stones I tell you. They want rid of the DeColts!

[Jennie Bomb]

George DeColt being killed by a SWAT team isn't even the strangest thing that happened in that game - in the indie fed I created with a roster of misfits had Dusty Bin and Mark Smart as their World Tag Team champions for three months. In this same promotion, The Big Problem is a 2 time World Champion and a double World and United States Tag Team champion with Jeremiah Moose.

[Sammartino]

Don't know, but it seams to me strange....

Titan

a radio interview with Titan thew up an interesting tidbid last night, when he revealed that he enjoyed with people BIGGER than himself, feeling that it compliments his style perfectly...:eek:

Santiago Cortez was sentenced to 2 years in prison for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

I've never understood what that is supposed to mean. What does it mean? Also, what mod ae you using?

[Bull]

According to Wikipedia. . .

Perverting the course of justice, in English, Canadian (see article 139 of Canadian Criminal Code), and Irish law, is a criminal offense in which someone prevents justice from being served on himself or on another party. It is a common law offense carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

Perverting the course of justice can be any of three acts:

* Fabricating or disposing of evidence
* Intimidating or threatening a witness or juror
* Intimidating or threatening a judge

[Remianen]

I've never understood what that is supposed to mean. What does it mean?

WC, have you ever heard of the term "aiding and abetting"? That's perverting the course of justice. In the US, that terminology isn't commonly used. We have "aiding and abetting" and "accessory after the fact", "menacing" and "judicial tampering" (to a lesser extent) and things like that. But they all fall under the same basic category.

[Comradebot]

Okay, this is getting weird...


Just went into the PM time for what will be my fifth show with PSW:

And for the third time, a worker has taken another under his wing as a protege. In ALL of my playing, this has only happened once (Demon Anger taking Devastating Don under his wing in FCW).

And now, with PSW, it's happened three times.

Sgt. Bubba Lee West with Nelson Callum
Johnny Martin with Greg Gauge
Robert Oxford with Matthew Keith


I mean, I was fritzing earlier because I failed to know that Nathan Coleman is a complete jerkface and he knocked my locker room morale down back into the 70s... but sheesh, if this keeps up everyone will love each other in the my locker room!

[20LEgend]

I just got a 78 rated match with FCW (May 2010) I couldn't believe it, brought the show to a b-

Wrong Thread, but I'm still proud

Okay, thanks everybody. I hadn't heard of that term being used for those things before.

[Scorpio3060]

In my current game

SWF just rebounded back to Global after a 1 year stay at Cult.
In order to secure there new position, they quickly went out and signed several new wrestlers.

Masked Cougar
Fox Mask
Ernie Turner
The Silencer
T-Rex
Julius Moor
Devastating Don

[spikedave]

Opened a Devlopment fed and Giant Redwood took over.

In Puerto Rico, Shawn Gonzalez (64 pop,) is complaining about losing to Puerto Rican Power (96 Pop)

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t112/thetramp_photos/DCK.png

[Comradebot]

Yeah, Shawn will do that... has to do with the fact his vastly more over in America on average. Shrug it off, give him a small bonus.

[racoonie]

One month into my real world game, Kurt Angle died of drug related causes.

[20LEgend]

Yeah I love the addition of bonuses, its helped me out alot.

Looks like Saito had quite a New Year's eve party! (even though he was working for PGHW that night losing the tag titles)

[thehellion87]

James Prudence and Rita Charles just split up in the first week of January.

[KingofOldSchool]

It is pretty funny that Mysterio and Bourne over The Legacy headlined WM. I guess they were saving The Usos vs The Dude Busters for the next PPV. :D

It's like they wanted to have another Wrestlemania I tag main event, only with less talent and charisma.

[Rathen4]

January 2013 and TCW just went to #1 in the world, with NOTBPW #2 and SWF falling to #3. Awesome. I love it when things get shaken up.

[FlameSnoopy]

Heh. Something similar happened to me. Champagne Lover was constantly whining about losing to guys with more popularity than him. Always. So two weeks before I was going to have him and El Mitico Jr. end Vessey's and Valentine's over a year reign as the tag team champions.. Champagne walks out. Awesome :D But he should have done it AFTER I gave him the title reign with Mitico.

[MasterJ]

Not strange but funny Bobby Heenan and Ted Turner had a kareoke contest backstage. Wonder what they sung?

CGC got owned.. Bad time. All of their championships are going to be vacated due to written deals in a couple of weeks :p

[SeanMcFly]

Dang Written Deals, what with the stealing CGC's champions and all. :p

Who are the champions at the time if I may ask?

[FlameSnoopy]

Dang Written Deals, what with the stealing CGC's champions and all. :p

Who are the champions at the time if I may ask?

In March 2012..

CGC World holder is Steve Frehley, who won it in October. TCW signed him to a written deal.

CGC Canadian holder is Joey Poison (second reign) and got signed to written by NOTPBW.

CGC Tag Team holders are Poison & Monton, but Monton didn't get signed because he's frickin' 50 years old and nobody wants him.

Dang, TCW, what with the signing of the Stevester. Yeah, CGC definitely got screwed on that one.

And their new champions as of the start of April:

CGC World - Ricky DeColt (2)
He could actually be a better replacement to hold the championship

CGC Canadian - Grimm Quibble
Okay this is horrible. No way he is going to be a better champion than Poison :p

CGC Tag Team - Gargantuan and Destiny
'Nuff said?

Ricky's a good champ, and he has the name value. Quibble though? Really :p. Must be banking on some Puma skill from him :rolleyes:, and umm, Gargantuan + Destiny? The hell is fate? :D

[TakerNGN74]

I really hope that doesn't happen to me in my CGC Dynasty but it probably will sadly.
