Just thinking about how I used to play EWR. I remember one game I started with either the crappiest promotion or one of the crappiest promotions. I had a roster of all no-name guys with terrible stats and none of the big names would even consider joining my company.
But I worked on it built up the company and was able to afford my first big star...SILVER KING! I remember I then built the shows around him and eventually turned him into an authority figure with I think a cowboy gimmick (or perhaps he was an authority figure that then transitioned into a cowboy gimmick).
How about you?

How about you? One day I was screwing with the Real Life Data in TEW, I think it was a 1996 mod, and I put Hulk Hogan in ECW, HBK in WCW and I think RVD in WWE. Then I simmed about six months Most notable was Hogan of course, who after a short feud with Ballz Mahoney, which included a Barbed Wire Match, passed away. I didn't find out the cause, but I'm assuming that ECW was just too extreme for him. |

Wrestling promotion "sim". You run/book a company in competitions with other feds.
My latest one is based off some idiot who won the Powerball and has infinte funds to blow on wrestling. So, it's a third major promotion which is just basically TNA split in half with indy guys. No WWE guys will work for me. lol. Business isn't very good, but hey, I still got $250,000,000.

One time though, I started a new game of TEW as New Japan, and on day FREAKING one Vince McMahon died. Pretty bizarre. |

Did he feud with Marty Confetti? Lesnar. Hopefully you jobbed Lesnar out in that feud  I'm dumb, what is this 'EWR'? Extreme Warfare Revenge. It was a a wrestling game on freeware that allowed you to book your own fantasy wrestling company. I think you can probably still find a download for it somewhere on the Internet. |

Took Caylen Croft, turned him into a household name as Kris Pavone, movie star turned wrestler.
Even had the late Larry Sweeney as his agent.

The problem I have is getting momentum. I think I book things too equally. It almost feels like the game doesn't care if a feud is the guy a beating guy b 800 times in a row, as long as the segments are good. In real life, no one would care.
Like for example:
For some reason the game let me sign Kurt Angle when I wasn't supposed to be able to. He's old and broken down and needs a slow, slow build. Meanwhile, Sean Waltman is a dick and is on firing's door, I'm burying him. So, in Kurt Angle's second match right after a PPV where Kevin Thorn squashed Waltman (as Lucifer), he squashes Waltman and doesn't release the ankle lock. The segment goes through the roof.
So I start a feud and the first two segments are A+. Makes no sense, but I'll roll with it, Waltman's career is saved for now. I don't get A+ segments.

If he's talking about the game he told me about and showed me, he booked Scott Hall. A lot. As in, every match and segment of every show, Scott Hall was involved in some way, shape, or form. fairly interesting way to kill a promotion. |
