Somewhat Improved 2001 Scenario

[Dr. Rated-R]

2001 scenario, set on April 2nd, the night after WrestleMania X-7, under the premise that Eric Bischoff bought WCW instead of Vince McMahon. Promotions included are WWF (updated), WCW (updated), XPW, and CZW. Stats for a good deal of the workers have been overhauled to be more accurate, a good deal of worker nationalities have been corrected, and the vast majority of workers have picture names set for them. Scenario last updated on November 26, 2006.

Scenario - November 29, 2006 Edition (Version 3)

Download from RapidShare.

Download from MegaUpload.

Updates Include:

-Various stat, nationality, attribute updates.

-NWA Wildside added (not finished, but it's there).

-Name changes (American Dragon is now Bryan Danielson, Rowdy Roddy Piper is now Roddy Piper, etc.)

-Several stat updates, as well as Jerry Lawler being added as a wrestler.

-Pretty much everything has been modified at least somewhat.

Major props to That One Guy for his help on this edition.

Hell man, awesome, im so thankful to you for doing this! Are any ECW workers contracted to the WWF or are they all free agents?

[Dr. Rated-R]

Aside from guys like Rhino, Raven, Tazz, and the Dudleys, no. Sabu, Dreamer, Sandman, and the like are in the Others database.

[Guest TheChosenOne]

Thanks, this is really awesome scenario and I mean really ^_^

If you want to do new scenario, but you don't know what year and time, I suggest that you would do a summer of 2000 scenario, If you have the time. Thanks again for this update.

[Adam]

Right thats cool, ill manually change it myself (i only desire to be WWF, so ill be getting rid of WCW too lol) Does anyone have a 2001 ECW roster or know where i could fine one?

[Basmat01]

Man great job you did on it looks alot better then it did before lol

Do you mind if I can work on it alittle bit more and release it?

ECW roster for April '01.

[Dr. Rated-R]

I thought they declared bankruptcy in March. Hence the non-inclusion. Shows what I know. >_<

About what would you suggest for ECW, public image-wise?

EDIT - it should be noted that I've been messing with some indy stats (for some reason Mike Shane has an 85 in speed?), as well as changing some worker pictures around to time accurate ones in the data, and I'll probably release a small pic pack to go with it soon, as well as updated data with ECW included.

EDIT 2 - actually, somebody else would be better suited handling ECW. I was never much of a fan, most of my ECW experience is just random PPVs and matches, I was never a consistent follower. If somebody can handle ECW tell me, and I send over the new data. Release 2 will come after ECW is all well and done.

The last ECW televised show was in March wasnt it? Are you sure that the WIA are totally accurate there?

Plus it says the roster as of April 11th, Heyman filed for bankruptcy on April 4th, AND im pretty sure i remember Heyman on the WWF commentary team for Wrestlemania X7, theres no way we should add ECW, it was all but dead and gone by April by the looks of it

[Dr. Rated-R]

I actually came in here to say that I was browsing OWW and saw that Heyman joined the commentary team in early March. Yeah, ECW's definitely out.

[Dr. Rated-R]

New version released!

Yeah, links for the picture pack, promotion logos, the new version, and for the old version (just in case), as well as a vague change log and list of who is in the picture pack (and which workers have "Unknown" for their pics) can be found in the original, newly organized post. =)

EDIT - note that the pictures won't all work if you continue a game started with the first version. Like, in the original data Kevin Nash's picture is set to "Kevin_Nash" and not "Kevin_Nash2", you'll have to either start over with the new data (which I suggest because of the improvements), or change it manually.

Here's something i'm pondering:

Shouldn't all WCW workers have open contracts?

If Bischoff purchased WCW, would he not be able to choose who to sign and who to waive, as WWE did? Or did they?

I'm not sure how this contract business works.

Also, in my opinion CZW should be at the regional level, and maybe lower XPW's PI a bit (XPW part is questionable, I don't think CZW is).

XPW should have a training camp (The Asylum) probably lowest quality.

CZW should probably have higher risk, in the 90s, as they were at the time much more hardcore than they are now. (I am not an avid CZW fan, but I believe this is very true)

My updated numbers for CZW are Regional 70% (you could probably go higher) with two million in funds (to ensure they avoid bankruptcy for at least awhile), 50% production, 90% risk.

Lowered XPW risk to 95%. They did not do the buck naked match (the only 100% risk match I think) until 2002.

I would remove Ted Turner from the database, at least as an owner. It would be weird to have him taking over XPW or something.

Rick Bassman's preference should be Normal. Jim Kettner should be normal (he owns ECWA right? if not, wrong guy, nevermind). Ed Schmitt should be normal.

Lower Tony Chimel's announcing to the 60s (or lower, I have never liked Ring Announcers in the game, let alone having respectable announcing stats), raise Michael Cole to the 60s. Raise Kevin Kelly to the 60s. Raise Jonathan Coachman to the 60s (15?! I know the guy has never been brilliant, and wasn't as good in 2001 as he is now, but he has always made for funny segments if nothing else). Jim Ross should have 100 talent I think, it's probably trivial whether he has 95 or 100 but most scenarios vastly underrate him as low as the 80s, he only gets repetitive because you hear him every single week, he's still the best in the business. Lower Howard Finkel to the 60s.

Lower David Penzer's announcing to the 60s.

Raise the XPW announcers. Kris Kloss is acceptable at the 50s or so I would think, Rivera i'm not sure, but with 11 talent he's only going to be released immediately. Add Kevin Kleinrock as either a worker or a writer with the booking stat. He was a character in XPW now and then, but I believe never anything serious and he could just be put in as a writer. Nevertheless, a big part of XPW.

John House and Eric Garguilo are in the game but unemployed, they should be working for CZW. I believe the CZW show was called Fake You TV.

I don't know if you've touched relationships or not, but I do know in the original scenario there were some that shouldn't have been there and such.

Give CZW less money.

As for the XPW roster, it's missing Nozawa (who appears to be missing from the scenario all together) and Juventud Guerrera.

Also missing from the scenario but could be in XPW: Super Dragon, Excalibur, Rising Son.

CZW needs Eddie Valentine. Tommy Dreamer was at their April 4th, 2001 show too. You could put him there.

Rob Black's owner preference should be something else. I guess normal.

I would lower Eric Bischoff's owner talent to the 70s, just because he's unproven. He's never really owned a promotion.

I would also raise Rob Black's owner talent. He wasn't particularly brilliant, but he was better than 23 and this way he won't be starting up backyard promotions if XPW dies. 55?

Raise Alex Abiss's owner talent, because JCW was, as far as I know, financially successful. 50s or 60s.

Can you give me some stats for the CZW and XPW guys in your next-to-the-last post, TOG?

I haven't really saw any of them (except a handful of Super Dragon), and I want to make this stuff accurate.

I just want to point out that most of the stuff that's actually ridiculous (Coach's talent, things like that) were in the game by default. I didn't really touch staff members too much, although I did a lot of work on them yesterday.

I've taken care of everything else you listed.

Thanks dude, you've been a HUGE help so far.

Woman should have a love relationship with Chris Benoit and a diva stat.

Helena Heavenly should have a diva stat.

Erin Bray should have a diva stat.

Elektra should have a diva stat.

Daffney should have a diva stat.

Alexis Laree should have a diva stat.

Adara James should have a diva stat.

Ivory should have a diva stat.

And, while I normally like to be liberal and give anyone remotely attractive a diva stat because wrestling fans are easily convinced... Chyna is very questionable (she has one currently).

Low Ki should not be menacing. He has a menacing attitude, but not a menacing look.

Eddie Guerrero should not be menacing.

Steve Blackman should not be menacing.

The Sandman being menacing I have no idea about, he has the stat currently.

911 should be menacing.

Abdullah the Butcher should be menacing.

Earthquake should be menacing.

Glen Osbourne should be menacing.

Hulk Hogan is questionable for being menacing.

Ken Shamrock should be menacing.

Kimo should be menacing.

King Kong Bundy should be menacing.

Kurt Angle is questionable for menacing (probably not in 2001, but I would give it to him today).

Mark Henry should be menacing.

Marshall Knox should be menacing.

Masato Tanaka is questionable for menacing.

Matt Morgan should be menacing.

Mike Knox should be menacing.

Monsta Mack should be menacing.
