Other than the minor Wade Barrett injury, I've been lucky. Everyone that gets hurt, I don't even feature. Steph blew out her knee, big deal, she's never been on one of my shows. Don't even know how she got hurt. Same goes for Matt Striker. Yeah, I've been somewhat lucky with injuries. If somebody big has gotten injured (Cena, Mysterio) it's usually for a month, maybe two. I got the 16 month knee injury, but it was to McGillicutty. My bigger issue was whirlwind romances with unknown daughters of the Board of Directors. Had that happen to me 3 times in the span of 6 months, and completely obliterated Sheamus's overness, since he wouldn't move down the card. At least the over two weren't being featured at the time. Johnny Curtis is still in NXT, and I've slowly risen Derrick Bateman up the card, to where he's currently tag champions with Zack Ryder (in my scenario, Bateman gets popular through a series of Touts, much like Ryder with Z!TLIS).

After playing EWR for years, I finally got that "Pinky and The Brain" incident at the beginning of my current WWE game.

After playing EWR for years, I finally got that "Pinky and The Brain" incident at the beginning of my current WWE game. Yeah, prepare for it to f*** up your game. In mine, WDW signed all of the lucha and indy guys and then started to run itself in the ground. Meanwhile all the other promotions are getting starved... so all of that talent can flounder with sub 70 overness. I guess it doesn't work like that all the time, but in mine, the promotion is a total dud that can't even get a TV slot.

Just got the news item of AJ Lee dating Drew McIntyre. That could be an... interesting relationship.

Could raise their push or give them a color commentary gig. Sometimes if you lose guys, though, you've lost them permanently. Yeah if their morale gets to be 30 or lower (I think), just cut your losses and get rid of them. I've successfully boosted 1998 WCW Curt Hennig from around a 10% morale to around 50% in a couple of months just by giving him a feud with Ray Traylor for the TV title. But yeah, that low morale sucks and is a curse for anybody holding my WCW World title. (Probably because I'm more interested in building guys up. Who would have thought that Hugh Morrus, Michael Wallstreet and Lance Storm would be bigger stars than frickin' Sting?) But, one tip is to pay attention to your e-mails. If a low morale guy wants a feud with so-and-so, (even if you think it's stupid) go ahead and try it.

They're #3 behind me and TNA and don't have a TV slot but despite all the talent they have, most of the other companies haven't gone bankrupt as often as they have in past games. Though they do have a stranglehold on some of the talent I want (*cough*Hero*cough*).

In my game, WWE is at 100% Global, TNA is at 55-60% Global (I keep pushing them down), WDW is 50% National and falling and ROH is around 20% National after getting pushed down by WDW, they were on a hot streak before that. The problem with the easter egg is that between me and my massive developmental roster and their roster, which is pretty huge in its own right, ROH is going to end up getting snuffed and TNA can't gain guys to compete with me. Basically they make the game far less interesting, at least until they go bankrupt or I buy them out. There's like 2 guys on their roster that are above 70 overness. The promotion utterly blows and needs to go away yesterday.

Well Kevin Steen just f***ed me over by admitting a drug problem on PPV day. The sad part is he was about to go over in the blowout match of his feud with Joe and then move on to World Title contention. DAMMIT STEEN!

RAW GM: Stone Cold Steve Austin (replaced John Laurinaitis who got a 20 month injury for whatever reason) WWE Champion: CM Punk (beaten Chris Jericho, The Miz) US Champion: Dean Ambrose (beaten Santino Marella, Zack Ryder) Tag Champions: Kingston & Truth (beaten All-American Pefection {Ziggler/Swagger}, The Odd Couple {Otunga/Tensai})
SD GM: The Rock WHC: Cody Rhodes (beaten Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Christian) IC Champion: Alex Shelley (beaten Cody Rhodes, William Regal, Antonio Cesaro) Womens Champion: Kharma (beaten Beth Phoenix)
NXT Champion: "The Ripper" Paul Burchill (awarded Drew McIntyre's title) NXT Tag Champions: Kidd & Gabriel (beaten Reks/Hawkins, PrimEpico) Cruiserweight Champion: El Generico (beaten Yoshi Tatsu, Zema Ion)
Over on RAW, CM Punk introduced Colt Cabana as an ally. This has over 3 months gotten Colt over into the 90's, due to helping Punk out in his feud with Chris Jericho and The Miz. Dean Ambrose & Kevin Steen have been destroying Zack Ryder & Santino Marella over the US championship, and will now move on to feuding with Colt & Kassius Ohno. John Cena & Rey Rey have been thrown together into a feud with Kane & Alberto Del Rio. Kingston & Truth have been tag champions since Day 1, putting on a string of great matches with Ziggler/Swagger and the unlikely duo of David Otunga & Tensai.
Over on Smackdown an IC title feud between Cody Rhodes and Christian was getting the pair over massively, so I made Cody drop the belt to Alex Shelley, and I made the feud a main-event feud as the pair had become 100 and 98 over respectively. A series of matches between Alex Shelley/Antonio Cesaro/William Regal/Sin Cara are getting big reactions.
Heel GM Matt Striker brought in Paul Burchill, and awarded him Drew McIntyre's title. Meanwhile, El Generico has been feuding with Zema Ion, Bo Dallas and Yoshi Tatsu over the reinstated cruiserweight championship. Kidd/Gabriel are the NXT Tag Team Champions, putting on some great matches with Reks/Hawkins, PrimEpico and The Usos. Other NXT talent includes Finlay, Sami Callihan, Richie Steamboat, Adam Cole and Cedric Alexander.
From FCW I'm looking to promote Bray Wyatt, Paige, Seth Rollins, Jinder Mahal/Hunico/JTG (all in rehab), Corey Graves and Jay & Mark Briscoe.

Well, I staged SuperBrawl 1999.
Pre-Show: Ernest Miller beat Perry Saturn for the Hardcore title, when Norman Smiley got involved. (He still harbors a grudge towards Saturn.) Bam Bam Bigelow came out to obliterate the faces celebrating the tainted victory. (E-Mail: Perry Saturn & Ernest Miller seem to work well together due to their similar styles. O-Kay.)
1) Eddie Guerrero cheated to win the Cruiserweight title from Rey Mysterio Jr., continuing their feud. 4 1/2 * match. 2) DDP & Kimberly defeated Lance Storm & Dawn Marie in a mixed tag match, continuing their feud. No reason to have the match, except to get DDP a moral victory. DUD match. 3) Chris Benoit won a submission match against Konnan. Konnan turned face when Chris refused a handshake after the match. (It's pretty funny this option was the only one to get Konnan to turn. Not the cheap shot after handshake, not an after-match beat-down...just refusing the handshake was enough to sway the fans. Weird group.) Video package on Sting-Kevin Nash feud. 3* match. 4) The Dudley Boyz vs. Edge & Christian went to a double DQ when both teams shoved the referee. 4 * match. Raven ripped Goldberg. 5) Raven pinned Sting in a four-way match (including Kevin Nash & Goldberg) to win the WCW World title.
I'm considering turning Sting heel so Goldberg can get the rub by putting him out of WCW. The Chris Benoit-Konnan feud is about to end; I'm gonna have Arn Anderson turn on Dean Malenko by siding with Chris.
Up and coming stars on the rise: Bill Goldberg, Edge & Christian, Kidman (Sick Boy is injured, leaving more time for Kidman as a singles wrestler), Ernest Miller, Johnny Swinger, Chris Jericho.
Declining: Sting (he'll be gone soon), Dean Malenko (see if the Benoit feud with perk him up), Kevin Nash (maybe have Bigelow take him out), Raven (see what the WCW title does with him), Curt Hennig (back down to 35% but that's my fault for not doing anything with him).
I signed Andrew (Test) Martin to a developmental deal. Bret Hart, Rob Van Dam, AJ Styles and Booker T all have Japan commitments and wouldn't sign with me.

I must be lucky then, here are my rankings: 1 - WWE (me) - Global 100% 2 - TNA - Global 61% 3 - WDW - Global 10% 4 - ROH - National 41% 5 - XXX Wrestling (owned by Rick Bassman) - National 12% 6 - Jersey All Pro - National 10% 7 - IWA - National 10% 8 - CHIKARA - National 9% 9 - CMLL - National 8% 10 - Dragon Gate USA - National 5% As an aside, Narf Poit Wrestling (Pinky's company) is doing better than ECCW.

After many months, I got my hands on a February 2013 update and, as customary, go to WrestlingHeat.com first. Top story?
By the way, this time my name is "Totally Not Vince Russo".
Oh yeah, and apparently, Davey Richards is stalking Jillian.

Still working on the fantasy scenario I'm doing. I made a custom main menu image, and I'm almost up to 300 workers made.

Is there anyway to manually create a roster split? I have about 9 guys on SmackDown.

In a new test run on my incomplete fantasy scenario, I reached past the first month as HERO, and here are the results for an April Fools Cyber Sunday-style PPV done for it.
DARK MATCH Kick-Ass (picked over Kung Lao and Ken Masters) defeated Phineas Flynn 65%
SUBMISSIONS COUNT ANYWHERE (voted over No Countouts and Lumberjack) Nostalgia Critic defeated Ryu 67%
HERO OnLine Title (vacated) Angry Video Game Nerd defeated Dan Hibiki 70%
TABLES (voted over No DQ and 2 Out Of 3 Falls) Daniel Bryan defeated CM Punk 99%
Team Chris Benoit (Benoit/Kazuya/Heihachi/Scorpion defeated Team John Cena (Cena/Spiderman/Mario/Luigi) 85%
HERO World Title Akuma (c) defeated Iron Man 96%
Show Rating: 83%
I know, kinda ridiculous for a scenario I made.

OK, don't answer me then. Go to your current game, click on the name of your company, the section that tells you who the owner is, how much money you have, etc. Below monthly performance and what country your company was based out of, there's an option for a roster split. You can have up to four brands. To assign certain wrestlers to brands, you go to the roster section, and below a wrestler's name/gimmick/alignment is Roster Split. That determines what brand you want to assign someone to. EDIT: Or if you don't care about uneven rosters, you can go to Quick Roster and randomize a roster split.

Did a couple of cards, and in like 5 days, Chris Jericho married a daughter of WWE BOD (dunno if this is a bad thing, since I push him anyway, but we'll see), and Sonjay Dutt is off to rehab. So much for the Bollywood Blondes. Then again, Jinder Mahal is inexplicably somewhat over, so this may work to his benefit.
