there's a set number of people the companies "need" to have based on size and image and stuff. they only release the shittiest if they go down. or, very rarely, if a contract runs out and the worker has mediocre stats, or maybe is old. i don't really get how that one works i just know it happened to me once in a 1998 wwf game and wcw let ric flair's contract run out which i thought was funny with how close to realistic that was. Yeah, pretty much the only time a major company will drop somebody that's actually good is if the dude's older and has deteriorating stats or if you jack up their wage ridiculously high via a bidding war. I almost always get big names thanks to their contract running out and me convincing them to jump ship.

Starting an EWR TNA 2014 save shortly before BFG because, well, what the f*** was that show? Since I'm starting with it there's not much behind the card, but here's what I'm going with:
So yea, that's it. Basically taking everything good from around this point last year and trying to combine it into one build for this card, while adding a few things on my own, and then going from there. If I stay interested, I'll have much better/more interesting writeups for the other major PPVs, as it'll be much more story based and less "well it was good irl so Im just keeping it". Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

i appreciate the logic behind pushing people in a generally reasonable timeframe, but somewhat in the complete opposite hand, i also would love it if random unexpected people popped up, too
for me, i was playing a wcw 1998 game, doing my usual raven takeover route. ric flair and sting both retired, in-game i had raven take credit and win the world title. then all steve austin, the rock, and the undertaker jumped ship to me. i renamed the undertaker the man in black and he feuded raven first then lost. austin came in to feud eric bischoff and more or less end the nwo, which had been dying since sting beat hogan over and over in the beginning of the year. the colors and connections still exist but they have no real relevance anymore. anyway, yeah, raven beats austin, too, and the storyline goes like that, and then...i decided, i was gonna "Because WCW" the whole game as it was going so far. why? because wcw. i figured bash at the beach is a time wcw does big things. maybe its not the biggest show of the year, but the hogan debuted there, won his titles there, dennis rodman wrestled there, it was a big show. i imagine "i" was the booker until about a month before this, then big sexy himself took over the book, with the help of kevin sullivan. because wcw. so because people liked my big king of the ring post, here's
WCW Bash At the Beach 1998...Because WCW!
Hosted by Jimmy Hart, Dusty Rhodes, Bobby Heenan and David Arquette (Jimmy retired as a manager and became a great announcer, Dusty is Dusty, Bobby is Bobby, more on David later, but in short, I found it funny to include him at all, so I made him essentially himself, but instead of a title contender, he's the color commentator on Thunder, a role he feasible could actually do well, and get not bad publicity for, since this is Scream era
Opening contest: WCW Cruiserweight Title: Chris Jericho vs. Dean Malenko (c). Jericho and Storm are the tag team champions as the Thrillseekers. They are super heels, but Jericho is the Hollywood Hogan style heel that brags and makes challenges he can't take then tries to weasel out. Similar to real Jericho. So Storm has three matches tonight, and Malenko's manager Lanny Poffo tries to goad Jericho into being a man, like his partner, and also wrestling three matches. Jericho rambles about how that's fine, and then announces his three matches: the tag match, more on that later, this match, which I imagine the feud went as in real life, and then a match later w/ more on that later, for his precious Puerto Rican title! Also in that sentence he invented that title. I bought WWC earlier this month and thought it was a Because WCW style joke to instate it as real and have someone do that. So anyway. This match is first and opens. It rocks and Malenko retains clean. ****
Kevin Sullivan and Lance Storm vs. David Arquette and Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
Just because I'm smart enough not to put him into title matches doesn't mean he doesn't feud and wrestle. Because WCW. After the nWo tapered out, I say Bischoff lost power, and somehow during the reign of the Flock and Raven, Kevin Sullivan took charge of WCW. He wasn't with the Flock really, but he was evil. Wisecracking announcer David Arquette is the only one who really stands up to him. Chavo used to be TV Champ in a shock win, held it for about a month, and lost it to Booker T. Storm, tag champion, made fun of him for not having gold, so they're feuding too. If Arquette and Chavo win, Chavo and Storm face in a 15-minute time limit hardcore match. Sullivan pins Arquette after cheating profusely, and as authority figure decides to let Storm and Chavo have a match anyway, since Storm also cheated profusely and knocked out Chavo with a foreign object. *1/2 leading directly too
Hardcore match: Lance Storm vs. Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
Chavo surprisingly kicks out and the two technicians have an outstanding hardcore brawl. Chavo eventually wins redeeming himself after half a year of heel shit. ****
WCW TV Title: David Taylor w/ Teddy Long vs. Booker T (c)
The TV title moved around a lot, but the Nitro after Nash and Sullivan took charge, Booker won it back from Chavo and things were back to normal. David Taylor and Teddy Long came back after a stint in the Power Plant and challenged Booker, noting he was better than former partner Steve Regal (who is now teaming with Fit Finlay as the United Kingdom, doing okay) ever was! He loses to Booker clean, tho. ***1/2
WCW United States Title: Steve Austin vs. Diamond Dallas Page (c)
DDP is in the midst of a 7+ month reign. Austin debuted to fight Bischoff and end the nWo once and for all. He then feuded Raven but fell to the Flock. He was furious no one helped him and started acting cowardly. For some reason he blamed "the people" and DDP and beat the hell out of DDP turning heel. Why did the biggest fearless face of all time at the time he changed the game turn into a cowardly but vicious heel? Because WCW Invasion. Um, WCW. And why did the should be focus of the company just be fighting for the US title? Because WCW for real that time. For that same reason, Austin wins the title for the third time by cheating. Match rules anyway. ****1/2
WCW Puerto Rican Title: The British Bulldog vs. Chris Jericho (c)
See above for Jericho's made up title stolen from WWC. Bulldog won a 10-man battle royal with lots of big names who kinda mean nothing right now because WCW. Bulldog also wins this match. Announcers theorize Jericho threw the match. Its short and okay. Cool new champion again though! **
WCW World Tag Team Titles: La Parka and Kurt Angle vs. The Thrillseekers (c)
The speculation about Jericho threw that match and made up title to protect his real titles here. La Parka is all over the place. He was in a silly tag team called Rocarola with Louie Spicolli (not dead in my game obvi) then Spicolli broke his ankle. They were feuding former nWo members Marty Jannetty and Syxx before his injury. But then La Parka started having singles matches while he was injured and beat Storm and Jericho (due to their other feuds mostly). He also had a few tag matches teaming with Angle against WCW style jobbers. Angle started the whole thing about fighting two people in one night for reasons explained later. But point is the Thrillseekers kept comically trying to outdo each other and fight as many then more than Angle as seen throughout the show. But anyway, the joke is it went from at the beginning of the month speculation Angle would be too tired for this match turned into the Thrillseekers dumb heeled themselves into being way too tired here. And then La Parka and Angle become the WCW Tag Team champions. I really like that team honestly. Great match too. ****1/2
Lion's Den match:
Kurt Angle vs. Ken Shamrock
Bobby Heenan returned to managing announcing he had personally signed The World's Most Dangerous Man. People speculated if that meant the obvious, and eventually it was revealed he did. And he immediately started challenging Angle, who debuted earlier in the year as a face, basically doing what he did in this time in real life, but presented as a face, because WCW. He still gets hugely over because he's Kurt Angle and eventually this "real sports celebrity encounter" kind of thing becomes a huge attraction at the WCW celeb show. Shamrock wins with an Ankle Lock, Angle passing out from the pain. He's going to come back later as killer Angle. ****
Main Event:
WCW World Heavyweight Title:
Kevin Nash vs. Raven (c)
Raven took over some midcarders for a while like in real life, then brainwashed bigger people, including Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit. He then feuded Ric Flair, and retired him. He challenged world champion Sting, and brainwashed him into putting his career on the line as well. Raven retired him as well. He defended the title against the debuting attacker The Man in Black (Undertaker) and then against Steve Austin, before Kevin Nash and Kevin Sullivan got hands of the book. Nash returned after the nWo disbanded by challenging Raven and the Flock saying they couldn't stand up to giants. He had matches where he went over Austin, The Rock, The Man in Black, Angle, Shamrock, DDP, etc. He was super over, though, genuinely the number one face. And of course he cleanly wins the title here, ending the super interesting Raven angle, and starting something weird and Nash like instead, because WCW. ***
The next night on Nitro, I had two major things happen.
First, Nash started the show, celebrating his world title. He then called out all the WCW champions. US Champion Austin didn't appear. However, Booker T, Dean Malenko w/ Lanny Poffo, and Kurt Angle and La Parka all come out, and Nash says they have the belts, so they have the power. He used to run things with the nWo, but things are different now, and he's a good guy. But good guys have the belts, so good guys take the power, and all they gotta do is stand together. They all agree and form The Wolfpac. DDP comes out and says he isn't surprised Scum Cold Steve Austin wouldn't show up, but he held some gold for a long time himself, and he wants to be apart of this People Party. Nash says they go way back, and Wolfpac is for life, so of course he's in. Speaking of which, someone else is in, his old friend Scott Hall, who disappeared for about two months prior, because WCW. So this is the new head face stable.
A few segments on that Nitro later, Kevin Sullivan, who in my mind is part Devil Worshipper, part just batshit crazy, says he can't put up with that, and forms an Army of Darnkess. The Thrillseekers are upset they lost their titles and become the first members, and do so goofily, so it starts out seeming to be kind of a comedy group and not taken seriously. The Dudley Boyz join immediately after as bodyguards, giving a little bit more power, but Marty Jannetty and Syxx also beg to join and are allowed to, making it feel somewhat silly still. But finally, at the end of the show, Steve Austin and the Rock both join, and become the huge heel stable.
Austin then feuds Hall, Arquette starts hanging out with the Wolfpac continuing his celeb appeal and feud with Sullivan, Booker T feuds the Rock, Dean Malenko feuds with Syxx, Larry Zbyszko feuds with Marty Jannetty (no idea what they are doing, but it felt very WCW and funny to me to do it anyway. I'm also trying to organically lower Syxx and Jannetty's overness so I can put them back in developmental. It works. Done it before.), the Dudleyz feud the tag champs, Saturn feuds the British Bulldog with previous focus of all television Raven doing the talking for the feud over the silly made up title, and Kevin Nash feuding...his friend, Curt Hennig. Why? Because WCW. (I have no storyline logic for this. Hennig is over enough, and previous nWo, so sure. What's my real real reason? After Bash at the Beach, Nash asked to work with Hennig. It worked with the idea I had so well, of course he got his wish. I think the storyline is that Hennig is upset he used to be a world class wrestler and is now getting ignored by these new factions. Also, hey, Hennig really was challenging Goldberg for the belt at that very show. So haha. Because WCW.)
Here's some title histories too cause I'm having fun writing:
WCW Puerto Rican Title: July 1, 1998: Belt Purchased from WWC July 23, 1998: Chris Jericho awards himself the title July 26, 1998: The British Bulldog def. Chris Jericho
Plans for the future: Bulldog is in a vague stable of Harts with Neidhart, Bret and Piper. They don't do much. All have low morale. I gave him the title cause I play when high. Its fun. He'll probably hold it until something funnier comes to mind.
WCW Cruiserweight Title: 1998 Starts: Ultimo Dragon January 25, 1998: Psychosis def. Ultimo Dragon (Dragon refused to drop his Japanese dates and sign a written contract, so Psycosis got the title. He teamed with Jimmy Hart until he retired and became an announcer. Upon Jimmy's retirement, his contract was sold to Bischoff and the nWo, and he became the nWo-chadore Champion. That entire angle was dropped entirely when...) May 31, 1998: Rey Mysterio, Jr. def. Syxx The day before Slamboree, Psychosis enters himself into rehab. In a final nail in the nWo's coffin, he is stripped of the title by Kevin Sullivan, in his first act as an authority figure. It was at the time not well explained or thought out by me, Because WCW. But anyway, Sullivan essentially dissolves the nWo ala Vince on Raw in 2002 and says the Cruiserweight title is WCW's again and Syxx is still allowed to wrestle, and will, against a WCW "legend," Rey, for the title! Rey then wins) June 19, 1998: Marty Jannetty (Along with my Because WCW idea, I was thinking, what if to combat it, Because WWF? I was winning the war like crazy, so I thought the WWF would do desperation moves, and WCW would be silly and WCW like in our responses. So imagine, 1998 WWF, Undertaker, Rock, Austin, Shamrock, all WCW now. As a viable main event they have Owen Hart, Vader, Foley, Shane Douglas (actually quite over and good stats), Goldust, Yokozuna, and of course, HBK. Missing is HHH, who I just stole, adding to the long list. So I think how Monday Night Wars would it be for crazy authority figure Kevin Sullivan to announce the "best friend" of "the champion of Madison Square Garden" would be wrestling for a title on Nitro, tonight! when insiders know HHH just signed over. But for legal/WCW reasons, instead its Marty Jannetty, who wins the cruiserweight title. Doesn't hold it for long, though, because...) June 26, 1998: Dean Malenko (Malenko had a long journey in my game. He first defected to Raven's Flock, in my mind being "the Ice Man" and a strong midcarder, and Raven having control of him would really solidify Raven as a main eventer with mind control evil powers. Malenko wins the title from the joke Jannetty and starts a face turn here, finally breaking free of the Flock to challenge Raven for a champion vs. champion match one Nitro. He loses the battle but is a strong face champion and will be for a while.)
Plans for the future: Re-read the last sentence.
WCW World Television:
Starts 1998: Booker T January 19, 1998: Raven (Raven was rapidly becoming huge in my game with a few interviews, building as I've kind of been explaining throughout this post, and likely will later even more. He won the title in a cool Monday Night War kind of moment.) January 26, 1998: Rob Van Dam (My idea here is that Raven was decided to be destined for something really big really soon, because "the writer" was huge on him, and he was getting huge fast anyway, so they'd get the title off him quick. So RVD debuts to win the TV title from him in an upset.) April 27, 1998: Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (Eddy had been running an angle where he kept trying to steal titles. He successfully stole the TV title, then Cruiserweight title, then US title, only to lose them all back legit, anyway. In April he got Chavo to play along and try to steal the tag titles with him. The night before at Spring Stampede, in a triple threat match, the Thrillseekers beat them and the real champs the Steiners to win the tag titles legit. Eddy was scheduled to have the match here but was planning on yet again stealing the title during the match using Chavo as a distraction but Chavo shockingly won legit here. Eddy's promos during the three-way tag feud made the Guerreros one of the most over heel teams in the biz, and Chavo's wins and reign was much hated. Eddy used his shock over Chavo's win to take some ill explained (for now) time off.) June 28, 1998: Booker T (The Kevins take over and the status quo of WCW slowly returns. As stated above, the loss eventually leads to Chavo turning face.)
Plans for the future: None, really. Like the Puerto Rican title, maybe it'll change on a whim, or maybe Booker will have it forever. It's not a joke title to me, but its also not serious. He's feuding The Rock now as part of the huge stable feud.
WCW Tag Team Titles:
1998 Starts: The Steiner Brothers April 26, 1998: The Thrillseekers (Eddy and Chavo stole the titles from the Steiners continuing Eddy's stealing angle, while they were facing the much smaller, kind of tossed around by the Steiners, Thrillseekers. The Steiners run off during the match chasing the Guerreros leading the the 'Seekers winning by countout. Triple threat match at Spring Stampede results, of course. The Thrillseekers shock everyone by winning. Jericho is the most obnoxious person ever and Lance does lots of silly smiling as his lackey and friend.) July 26, 1998: Kurt Angle and La Parka (Pretty much as mentioned above. A silly WCW style team. I think Kevin Sullivan would book it.)
Plans for the future: I really like this team, because of Kevin Nash's love of La Parka, so I think they'll hold them for quite a long time, really. They are feuding the Dudleyz now, will likely feud various combos of Army of Darkness teams, Because WCW.
WCW United States Heavyweight Title:
Start 1998: DDP July 26, 1998: Steve Austin (The biggest face superstar in the history of wrestling jumps ship, so within two months I made him a heel and the secondary title holder. Because WCW.)
Plans for the future: Austin is going to hold it at least until Starrcade. I don't know who is going to win it from him after that but they'll be big.
WCW World Heavyweight Title:
Start 1998: Sting April 26, 1998: Raven (Sting retired afterwards. Raven and the Flock essentially replaced the nWo in terms of dominance. Just for a little while, though, until Kevin Sullivan and Kevin Nash became the head writers of WCW. At which point) July 26, 1998: Kevin Nash (Because WCW.)
Plans for the future: The idea is for the laughs to occupy me for about four months until I decide I take over again. The final goal is Eddy returns around September, wins World War 3, turns into the biggest underdog face ever, and Nash turns heel as champ, leading to Eddy vs. Nash at Starrcade. Eddy wins!
Then idk what.
Did you read all that? weird.

1988 mod. Andre won the belt and sold it to Ted dibiase.
Hogan won at WM3, Andre won at Main event, now for the very last time Hogan will battle Andre at Wrestlemania 4.
Steamboat and Savage are two of the biggest faces of the company. They battled for a NO.1 contender ship to the wwf title. It looked as if Savage was about to avenge his loss at WM3, until a masked man ran in while the ref wasn't looking and delivered a pile driver to savage. Steamboat wins and will battle Dibiase at WM4. The masked man revealed himself to be.... JERRY LAWLER. He has yet to wrestle and has a heel momentum of A*. The match has been set for Savage and LAWLER to meet at WM4!
As request of McMahon, Jake Roberts popularity must improve to superstar status. He will battle the Honky Tonk man in a Wrestlemania rematch, but this time it's for the IC title!
The Road warriors will battle demolition in a street fight.
The hart foundation will battle the Bulldogs for the tag team titles. (Vince wants dynamites popularity to drop)
The Ultimate warrior battles Dino bravo
Not sure who I'm putting over in these matches other than hogan

Jake Roberts over Honky Tonk so his popularity continues to improve. I'm a sucker for Demolition but that's just my opinion. Hart Foundation to help with Dynamite's dropping popularity. Finally, I would go with The Warrior to build for the "future." Hope that helps a bit.
