Oddest thing you've done while playing EWR/TEW?

[lordryu]

Things that happened outside of your fed, like deaths/relationship changes/other fed cards, don't count.

I'm talking about the weirdest moments of booking when you, the wrestling community, played Extreme Warfare Revenge and/or Total Extreme Wrestling.

Some of my oddest bookings included hiring Scott Steiner in a 2012 WWE game on TEW 2005, and then reviving Chris Benoit in another try at the same scenario.

I reunited Sting and The Ultimate Warrior as the Blade Runners in 2012 WWE. I totally ignored their past (WWF / WCW) history, gave them the gay gimmick and tried to bury them. I have no idea why I did this, but the gimmick glitch meant that they kept on getting more over until they were the top heels in the company. They headlined Wrestlemania, all while putting on some awful tag matches.

In another game I brought the Italian Four Horsemen (PIZA Michinoku, Antonio Honda, Francesco Togo, someone else) to the WWE and tried to get them over as midcard comedy tweeners. Didn't work at all.

Ran an ROH storyline where Colt Cabana came back to ROH after his WWE run. He wrestled as Scotty Goldman, and he was a totally deranged heel who copied all of John Cena's moves and kept talking about being a Sports Entertainer. He wound up winning the title.

I have done some crazy stuff on EWR

One night on EWR I booked a tournament I nicknamed Confusion (pronounced con-foo-son) Where every match was a WWE championship match. Does not sound that bad except for the fact that the competitors in said match were never champion. As if it could not get any worse the person who became champion in the final match was the same person who was champion when the night started. Really think I need to do a Confusion II tournament.

Then there was the time I was playing a scenario where Fusient had bought WCW. My first move was to book a new champion. Out of all the possibilities I decided to put the belt on Bryan Clark. Now you may be thinking that would be a good one night joke and the next show Clark drops it to someone else and things march on. Instead I let him have a one year reign as champion. Finally he dropped the title to someone I had repackaged to a gay gimmick, Alex Wright. Wright got a couple of months on top but I finally wound up putting the belt on Buff Bagwell.

Also when I was doing the Fusinet scenario I gave Glacier a stable called the Natural Elements. In addition to Glacier there was Eclipse, Lava, and one other name that escapes me. One of them I do know was Shane Douglas.

Gregory Helms contract was up so I was gonna have him job on the way out, but he refused.

Out of pure spite, I had him in every segment, jobbing out to everyone. In the last segment, I had him fired on screen. He was never seen again, and all that losing crushed his overness.

Take that Hurricane.

The Giant was a funny case and worthy of late-1999-into-2000 WCW annals of creative; even though it was in the 1998 WCW scenario:

-I had Giant feud with Kevin Nash. Okay, nothing wrong there; it fit the timeline.
-Kevin does his usual whining about how "The Giant is clumsy and I could have been hurt" almost any time they had a match (not to mention I was building up Goldberg at the time, and Nash kept begging me to book them. I thought 'oh heck no'.) I pressed on so they could have a conclusion to the feud: Loser Leaves WCW.
-Giant was getting over even though he lost a lot of the matches by Nash cheating. Plus, getting rid of Nash would have saved me a lot of financial headaches. So I booked Giant to go over in the final match.
-Giant won feud but wanted to quit the company.

So, per Russo-era WCW before Russo was even there, the winner of the Loser Leaves WCW feud ends up being the one released, and the loser stayed on. (Man, I miss those wacky days sometimes.)

In a 1997 mod I signed the Ultimate Warrior who would only join if I promised him a main event title run, I wasn't about to derail Austin or the Great One for someone I basically just wanted to job out to make my other stars more popular so I created a new "main event" title called "Pretty Title of Much Winning" and picked Jeff Hardy's TNA title for the picture. Warrior won it and I made it into a storyline that he was utterly nuts and made this ugly belt for the hell of it.

He eventually lost it to Mark Henry who I imagine then burnt it.

If you didn't do an angle yet where Mark Henry destroys the Pretty Title of Much Winning, I think there's an angle pack that includes an angle based on JBL blowing up the US Spinner belt that John Cena had, from I think 2005. I may be wrong, though.

My top three crazy moments:

1. I made the WWE a women's promotion. In 2002. And I didn't hire anyone from Japan, as they weren't in the data I was using. Torrie Wilson was my champ.

2. I gave former NWA North American champion Quinn Magnum the NWA title on a whim. While I'm extremely familiar with his work now, the 2004 version of me had no clue as to who he was. I just randomly picked a guy. He didn't get over, so I gave it to the biggest star In the company: Chad Collyer.

3. Your X-Division champion and undisputed king of the ladder match: XPW mainstay Supreme!

Okay, this could be considered more as a ****-up, but I had Dolph Ziggler (just turning face off attacking Swagger) booked to cash in on The Miz (heel) for the World Heavyweight title on my 2012 WWE run, but I accidentally got Miz to win. It happened just now, but I'll reverse this problem by having a WHC rematch between Ziggler and Miz and making sure Ziggler wins.

And also write off the NoC WHC cash in as Ziggler winning.

Got tired of Cena bitching about having to work with certain people. So I jobbed him out in 7 straight matches to Divas and nobodies. His overness went from 100 too 35 and he quit outright. Resigned him a year later, after his bad blood had went away. Gave him a gay gimmick. He's currently my US Champion
