....In my EWR games ;D
Seriously, is there ever anymore talk of this game around these parts anymore? I finally downloaded it a while back and am currently booking for WXW a promotion owned by Afa in 2011. Right now, we're regional. TNA is no more and hasn't been for sometime.
Anyone else have any EWR stories?

I can't go back to playing EWR after playing the TEW games, so much better... but I can't bring myself to spend money on it either. Quite a conundrum.
I did have a um "free" version of TEW2005 for a while, but I lost it, and I wouldn't want to play it again anyway, I like 2007 a lot more.

I always play EWR alot for like, a long time, but then I stop for a long time, then get back into again. Its a real cool game though. Right before I stopped, CM Punk just ended Edges 10 month reign and started fueding with Kurt Angle...
(Im doing TNA...)

In my most recent game things have been going well.
RAW Champion is - Edge Smackdown Champion is - The Undertaker ECW Champion is - Bob Sapp
IC Champ is - 'Wild Eye' Eugene (Eugene gone Psycho) US Champion is - Acid Twilight (Trent Acid) Cruiserweight Champion - Chavo Guerrero Women's Champ - The Bloody Female (Naomo Kato) Inter-Brand Hardcore Title - The Great Khali
RAW Tag Champs are - Wipe Out (Johnny Devine & Jimmy Rave) Smackdown Tag Champs are - Paul London & Brian Kendrick ECW Tag Champs - CW Anderson & Danny Doring
The only problems are that:
Sabu is out injured for 12 months. Big Show and Juventude are in Rehab Rosey is unsackable and has creative control (Fortunatly he's still only in the midcard.)

Yea I play it. Have a current one going one right now in fact. I play it and its always fun. I never played the TEW games outside the demos. Just don't the money to spend on games right now.
I started with the latest update for the roster I found. Which was last month on the release. I twicked it a little by going by rumors from the net. So Sabu, RVD, and Sandman were free agents. I also made Paul Heyman a writer since that what he did backstage so it made sense because there was no Heyman under the staff members. He was also a Free agent since I didn't know he WWE status at the time so I just went with he didn't work there no more.
Also made Jericho a Main Eventer instead of a non wrestler mainly with all the rumors of him talking with TNA and WWE. Just because one he comesback I doubt he would be part time. That was it outside updating the champions for the companys I knew. Changing names like the current I-C champion. So forth.
I started my own company just because there an open spot on the federation page. I went with a globel company with the basic 50% fan basic. Just set everything high as for a Production and Merchendise. Rick level was at 60%. With 40000000 to start. Just to be kinda like a WWE company.
I started with nobody on the roster or staff so the first month was spending a lot to fill my roster and staff. Also setting the sponsers and PPVS. Started off good with signings. The game had some big TNA stars under open contract which I stole to sign under writen. Which were Styles, Joe, Killings, Christian (Surpised he was open), and Daniels. Also taking the Naturals, Williams, and Low Ki. Signed Heyman as both writer and one my roster (Athority figure).
I signed Sabu, RVD, and Jericho. Along with a bunch of top indies guys. Such as Backseat Boys, Kings of Wrestling, The Briscoes, Pyschosis, Elix Skipper, and several others. Not many WWE firing I signed. Outside Harry Smith and TJ Wilson. So I also had The Stampede Bulldogs. Which gave me a good Tag Team Divison.
First days after I got Smith he goes out with a neck injury. Keep in mind this was before I even had my first show yet. I had a PPV booked for the last weekend of the month. No TV deal yet. Since the I got Prime Time on FSN that came in the second month. Had a bad start with Public Image falling. Went to bad that we were National for a while. Mainly it was TNA got a second show. So they had two shows to build with. I had one. Then I got one for Fox a few months later. Late Evening. For whatever reason TNA seems to have all of sudden one the lotto or something. They started spending money like crazy. They signed a bunch of guys to writen that weren't cheap. They signed guys like Hall, nash, DDP, and so forth to writen. As well like some of there bigger names.
Now I am at this time in 08. Just over took TNA in public Image. Rebounded nicely from the fall. Only reason why I didn't get fired I think was because I made a crapload of money some how. I didn't have much injury. Outside of Smith. Daniels had a two month arm injury. I didn't realize how many of the guys on my roster were either on drugs or drunk. I sent Heyman, Chris Hero, Ultimo Dragon, Psychosis, and someone else to rehab. So to replace Heyman I signed Trish to play a face athority figure to go up against Heenan the heel one. Who was a manager until he became a non wrester.
I only signed one guy away from the WWE which was Matt Hardy. The ones I saw coming to there end of contracts didn't look great. Like Mark Henry and big hosses like him. TNA same thing. I saw like Scott Hall and Sting. Which stats wise doesn't work for me.

I'm running a revived ECW. Champs are:
ECW World Champion: AJ Styles ECW Television Champion: CM Punk ECW Women's Champion: Annaliese ECW Tag Team Champions: The Dudleys
I'm the #1 company, having bought out RoH and TNA, and am twice the size of the WWF (I got rid of the "E"). I'm shortly turning my third show, on Saturday nights, into an all-women's show, and if successful, will launch secondary women's titles. My current feuds and storylines are:
AJ Styles vs. The Rock AJ Styles vs. Christian Cage vs. Matt Hardy (yes, AJ's running two programs) Randy Orton vs. Chris Jericho vs. Chris Benoit vs. Cactus Jack Homicide vs. Samoa Joe CM Punk vs. Edge Steve Corino & Rob Van Dam vs. Scott Hall & Kevin Nash Victoria vs. Trish Stratus The Briscoes vs. Natural Born Killaz (Onyx & Rainman) Justice Pain vs. Colt Cabana Matt Bentley vs. Rob Conway
Jed Shaffer ~Conway's almost a main eventer. How cool is that?

I play off and on. Normally just start my own promotion with free agents and work my way up.

A freeware game that has a bunch of wrestling companies and wrestlers on it. Most of the updates have everyone I can think of on them. You book the company, you are also in control of finances, hiring/firing and such. My last game I went to war with TNA as CHIKARA and then ROH bought them out and signed all of my main talent to written contracts. Then I got pissed off and just ignored the game completely.

I am pretty damn addicted to EWR right now. It's at the point where I can't even watch TV wrestling without picturing the game. Like remember that episode of Raw where Lashley was in 4 matches? All I could think of was "You overused Bobby Lashley on your last show, and fans started to get sick of him"
Anyway I am currently running Shimmer (surprising, right?) and my goal is to take it as far as I can. I am staying true to its form as I am only hiring females (excluding staff members and announcers), and I am not running Diva type angles like Bra and Panties and stuff. I did hire Maria, but she is strictly an announcer who has a Talk Show segment. She was too popular to not sign. Likewise I have Michelle McCool as a manager. Anyway right now I am at a National Level running a PPV every month, with two TV shows - one prime time and one late evening "B show".

Oh and if we're looking for funny stories, here's one. One time I was playing a scenario with some wacked out stats. Like Scotty 2 Hotty had creative control for some ungodly reason. He refused to job to a woman (I wanted him to lose to Torrie cause I thought it would be funny), so he didn't do the job. For his troubles I gave him a nice "Cross Dressing" gimmick and sent him to OVW when it failed.

I can't quite get into the game honestly.
i dont have the patience that I do anymore to book feuds and matches. I wish there was an autobook button so I can modify it honestly.
But I did have Bookdust have a Two-Man Power trip style run with holding the WWE, IC, and Tag Titles.
