What has been your greatest EWR/TEW game ever?

[lordryu]

To me, it's a currently-running scenario for the real world, starting from August 2012, in the WWE. Through the months in that game, I've had people like Sting and El Generico signed to contracts, with great matches ranging from Undertaker vs. Sting/Bray Wyatt/Raven, John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose, CM Punk vs. Stone Cold/The Rock and The Rock vs. Randy Orton, to, Hell, even the Divas matches being great, thanks to fictional female character imports, and a show that gets higher and higher amounts of A's and A* every weeks. WWE is almost completely dominant, as it has for years, but even bigger than before.

I'm pretty sure I did a WCW 1997 scenario where I shocked even myself by being able to lure Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley away from the WWF. Suffice to say, the war wasn't even close.

So Mick put butts in WCW seats?

In EWR, I started out with a custom small fed in 2004 and got it up to Cult-level by 2007 or so. It was so fun building up homegrown stars until I was able to afford bigger name stars like CM Punk, Colt Cabana, Mike Awesome, and a few others.

[Racksman]

I ran WCW from July '91 - December '95 one time, it was the longest time period I ever ran a game. Everything I did, I just kept striking gold. It's not that hard with the talent roster I had. Plus, I was able to keep alot of people, and even though I managed to get Hogan, I didn't bring in any of the AWFULNESS that came with him. I was going to keep going into the nWo days but I remember getting bored with it after a while.

TEW 2005 — Death of the Territories as the AWA. I got lucky with a few releases elsewhere, so my main event players by mid-1985 were Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Nick Bockwinkel, Dory Funk, Jr., Bruiser Brody, Rick Martel, Billy Robinson and Jumbo Tsuruta, with Buddy Rose not far behind. Curt Hennig, Scott Hall and Leon White were progressing quickly, and I also invested in two promising young Japanese talents: Nobuhiko Takada and Keiichi Yamada. Managers included Bobby Heenan, Adnan Al-Kaissey, J.J. Dillon and Pat Patterson, and in front of the cameras, Mr. T was the man in charge.

I just installed this and Im afraid its going to ruin my life.

[Cry Me a Wiggle]

My current game is me picking WCW up from January 1999 (I'm currently at August 2001). I went ahead and "replicated" the Fingerpoke of Doom to get the belt off Nash, but this time with Bret Hart as the new leader of the nWo (doing a mash-up of the Wolfpack merger and nWo Black and Silver). I had Goldberg chase the belt for a year, finally ending the nWo storyline at Starrcade 1999. I've lured away Steve Austin, Undertaker, Kane, Mick Foley, Kurt Angle and several midcarders from the WWF, degrading them down to a Cult promotion. I built Sean O'Haire up as the top heel of my WCW, giving him an Occult gimmick and having him lead a WCW version of the Ministry with Undertaker, Kane, Vampiro, Raven and Devon Storm. Chris Jericho just took the belt off of him at Bash at the Beach and he's now my number one face, but I'm also building up Booker T.

Oh, and I bought ECW in mid-1999 and I'm running it as a separate brand on Sunday nights, replacing Worldwide. As soon as I buy out the fledgling WWF, I'll have a WWF hostile takeover of Saturday Night and build to an interpromotional war between the three organizations.

My favourite was in TEW 2010 many years ago.

I started a TNA game doing it my way but the opening year was pretty poor due to all talent being signed by WWE. I did manage to bring Rey Mysterio Jr in for a couple of months in which he feuded with AJ Styles.

It lasted until 2004 which has been my longest game to date. The file went corrupt but at the time it went corrupt I had Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall as main event guys doing an nWo story line. I believe Hogan had won the NWA World Heavyweight Championship and the outsiders were NWA World Tag Team Champions. AJ Styles had won the X-Division Title 4 or 5 times already.

It was a fun game that lasted almost 2 years (Game time)

This sounds awesome, what big names even remain in WWF right now? And is this in TEW2013?

[TGM]

I've got a game running that I started in 2010 but I haven't played that in nearly 12 months now.

It was a BY2G

Just the Rock, Triple H and the McMahons. If the opportunity to sign them comes I'll snatch them up to deal a crippling blow to the WWF, but I won't debut them until I buy the company so I can have some big names for my version of the WWF.

Nah, it's not TEW2013. It's a version I downloaded in 2009. I started this game about two years ago and play it when I'm bored or increasingly frustrated with the WWF product and want to live out my fantasies of a WCW that didn't go tits-up. I'd be interested in upgrading but not losing my saved data.

I'd probably say my best was my WWE 06-07 game. My goal was to have a true "roster split" to the point where it basically became a giant power struggle within the entire company between the three brands. Raw would be the Triple H/Stephanie McMahon show, ECW would be Paul Heyman and Smackdown would be booked by me. Things came to a head at Wrestlemania 23 when Triple H (who was injured but "written out" as doing a WWE Films picture) interfered in the main event, marking the first time a Wrestlemania ended in a non-finish. This would cause tons of turmoil within the company, resulting in the true roster split. Unfortunately, I didn't have much planned past Wrestlemania.

I had some pretty good storylines going, like getting Kane over with the World Champion as a Satanic heel, becoming more evil than Ministry-era Undertaker. Rey Mysterio getting into a feud with Kane and having to go to "the dark side" to be able to match up to him. Edge and Shawn Michaels getting into a feud with Edge calling out HBK's "born again" status and saying that he's the man that HBK should've been, resulting in an epic Ladder Match.

My favorite angle probably would've been the Anti-ECW angle I had going on. I continued Mick Foley's anti-ECW stint from real life and extended it into a year-plus angle that extended past Wrestlemania. Foley wanted ECW gone and enlisted the help of Eric Bischoff, who ended up being Co-GM with Paul Heyman. The two amassed a stable of "Anti-ECW Crusaders", including Big Show (who would become ECW Champion) and a major coup in getting Tommy Dreamer, the Heart and Soul of ECW, to turn his back on everyone. Ric Flair surprisingly ended up helping to save ECW, but only due to his hatred of both Bischoff and Foley. Foley and Terry Funk ended up retiring, both losing an I Quit Three-Way Dance at Wrestlemania to Flair, dealing a major blow to both sides. In the end, everything ended at One Night Stand, where it would be determined whether Heyman would earn the entire stake in ECW or if Bischoff would kill it for good. It ended up with ECW living on as RVD regained the ECW title from Big Show, with help from the lone wolf CM Punk who committed to neither side of the war until this time, and Mick Foley who had a change of heart after retiring. In an interesting twist, Flair would return to Raw and soon turn heel, blaming then Raw GM Dusty Rhodes for sending him to the "minor leagues" of ECW and getting him fired and replaced as GM by Stephanie McMahon, also reforming Evolution (minus Batista who refused to join).

Do other people find real life, like girlfriends, showering, going outside, gets in the way of the game?

[Turd Ferguson]

Wound up running 2003 WWE into the ground. TNA and ROH started gaining ground, I tried signing Punk and Bryan early and they nor anyone else wanted to come work for me. My titles meant nothing, and Brock Lesnar broke his neck.

Kinda funny, except that I didn't actually want any of that to happen...

It's no different than playing any other game during spare time.

I literally JUST read a thread about this on a WoW forum.

[MolotovMocktail]

Been big time addicted to TEW 2005 (you can't beat free, and I've lost versions I paid for when I got a virus on my computer). Don't do any real-world mods, I just stick to the fictional universe. Normally, I start with the smallest promotion (Mid-Atlantic Wrestling), and either try to build it up to Global, or work my way towards getting signed to bigger feds. I got my reputation up to where I could start my own. I had the Valhalla Wrestling Federation rolling until-bam, another virus wiped my game out.

If I can get a roster with Hell Monkey, Champagne Lover, American Elemental and some cast-offs from SWF, TCW or NOTBPW, I'm gold.

[armbar]

My Death of the territories run as WWF was my longest running one. It had two weekly shows, WWF on NBC and WWF on ABC, with both of them having constantly at least 5-6 million viewers. The biggest drawing feud was my Wrestlemania II main event feud of Ric Flair versus Hulk Hogan, in where Hogan won the WWF championship. After that, Ric teamed up with Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, JJ Dillon and someone else. Dynamite Kid versus Tiger Mask kept putting on A* matches, so I fixed them up for a best out of seven feud. During the build-up to Wrestlemania III, I had minor PPV's headed by matches of Hogan, Andre and Tiger Mask versus Randy Savage, Dynamite Kid and Terry Gordy with the idea of Andre turning on Hogan by bear hugging him through interview set during Piper's Pit. Down the card there was Mean Mark Callous and Sid Vicious managed by Bobby Heenan, who were used to build up more skilled tag teams in hope of them gaining some skills.

My plan for the whole game was to build up popularity on every future star to make other promotions pick them up so I could pick them up later. This worked for Kevin Nash, who was the main star in Memphis from 1984 to 1986.

Can you link the forum discussion?

I have had my girlfriend and a few friends criticize me being lost on my computer the last 5 days. Im horrendously addicted. The last game I played this much was Street Fighter 2 in the arcades.
