A Cheater's TEW 10 Diary.

[The Line]

So, I'm about 7 months into my "fantasy scenario"(I cheated, big time, in the editor. Didn't edit stats, just gave myself quite a decent chunk of WWF guys) based in the year 2001 in TEW 2010. I'm a company I created called GWL(Global Wrestling League), 2nd in the world behind WWF. Bought out ECW, WCW, and XPW. And yeah, my game is kind of obscene, and I still kinda suck at these games despite playing them for years and years, so I just make goofy storylines and names when I get bored(read: High), and have ridiculous promotional structures that would makes the NWA look simple. I think I have 6 or 7 developmental territories throughout the world. Why? I'm Rupert Murdoch!

So yeah, it's August 2001. I have two brands. I haven't settled on official names yet, and have switched them probably a dozen times. Right now, I'm calling them "The WrestleArts Chataqua"(on Wednesdays) and "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"(Friday Early Evenings). I'm about to debut a new show in September(Next month in-game), which I'm calling, in another rip-off(my game is oh so full of them name/event-wise) NXT. I'll talk about that when I go in more depth about the out of control cesspool that is my developmental system. I'm in the middle of booking an episode of WBM, so I can't look at my schedule or my developmental system at the moment, so I'll just go into my active roster and current storylines, in my next posts.

[The Line]

So my first show of the week(until NXT debuts) is tentatively titled "The WrestleArts Chataqua", but I change the name almost weekly. I hold the show every Wednesday, and it is broadcasted live on the FOX.

• Eddie vs. DDP: A standard younger guy vs. older guy story
  
• Kobashi and Misawa vs. Davey Boy and Buff Bagwell: Davey Boy's behavior has gotten more and more bizarre, leading him to gain a follower in Buff. After some blasphemous statements at a museum opening caused the damage of some priceless moon rocks, time-traveling detectives Kenta Kobashi and Mitsuharu Misawa travel back in time to America to bring Davey Boy and Buff Bagwell to justice!
  
• Sting vs. The Establishment: Jesse Ventura's personal bias against Sting became a nuisance when Ventura was named Commissioner of the brand. Ventura has made it his goal to make Sting's life a living hell. Various heels get involved.

Storylines

• Goldberg vs. Awesome-So far, Awesome has seen Goldberg as a mentor of sorts, but Goldberg doesn't quite share the same bond. Tension is starting to build between the two.
  
• Hardyz vs. Kronik-Before the Hardyz showed up in May, Kronik were the entire locker room's hook-up. Jeff's latest batch of sticky icky though has made it so the boys in the back won't waste their time or money on Kronik's product. Oh, and something about the Hardyz beating them for the belts,too.
  
• Jericho vs. The Rock-Simply started out as both men feuding over who the real People's champ is, the fan-favorite Rock or the deluded Chris Jericho. This rivalry, however, has brought out a huge mean streak in Jericho, as he has shown he will go to any length required to keep the championship around his waist.
  
• Rey vs. RVD-Both men are considered to be two of the best high-fliers in the world, and are looking to take the next step towards super stardom. This rivalry is completely friendly
  
• Shamrock vs. Luger-This one started out as a normal exhibition match, but Shamrock refused to let go of an ankle lock afterwards, causing Luger to vow to hurt Shamrock, and hurt him badly.
  
• Lance Storm vs. Finlay-The Story of Lance Storm busting his ass through the midcard ranks
  
• Wright, Chavo, Malenko, and Vampiro-A multi-man storyline designed to put some younger guys over. Randy Savage and Marc Mero get involved.
