What Ever Happened to All those Wrestling Management Sims?

[The Sultan of Swank]

Around the time that Jennings was still doing PW and EWR was probably only in version 1 or so, there were 5 or 6 other Wrestling Management Sims in development, H2H was supposed to blow EWR out of the water, ESWF never did his updated version, TMN7 was around but I don't know much about it. It seemed like everyone and their mother was working on one. Why'd they all die?

[TheArsenal]

IIRC with H2H the guy always got close to releasing, then decided to add or change or do something else and put off the release. After doing this several times people lost interest and eventually so did he.

[Guest Mr. Potato Head]

H2H eventually released a 'demo' which really wasn't much to speak of.

[Skummy]

They've basically all declined along with the popularity in wrestling as a whole, and probably people just getting bored with it all when they realised how difficult it really was to deliver what they were promising.

Ryland crushed them like bugs, BUGS I SAY.

I remember after many many promises of releasing PW2, Jennings (after about 3 years of delays) released a "70% finished" demo of PW2. It showed the game would have been pretty good had it ever been finished, but the 30% that was never done was half the features that would have made the game decent.

Eventually, Jennings simply released (yet) another update to PW1.

TNM7 was excellence to the extreme. The e-fed I was in used it to sim the matches and when I took over the simming I found out just how cool it was to use. Fantastic bit of kit.

I remember the whole Promotion Wars 2 debacle as I was a big fan of the Scotsman at the time. He got his hands on a copy of the demo, or near finished copy at least and gave it a harsh criticism. All of the PW fans call him out on it, stating that he was friends with Ryland and a contributor to EWR, so his opinion was invalid on the subject. Then the whole case of the board war broke out, but either way, Scots made some very good points about how amateur Jennings had been in the production of the game, including the most major issue of very faulty coding. which was something along the lines of creating a single record for things that could be compiled into a database, making the process easier, but much harder on the program.

Heres quite a bit of the Scotsman stuff on PW2:

Oh, and Scotsman owned all.

[Summers]

Never got on with Scotsman, we've clashed a couple of times, he's often right on the money, though.

[Dan]

Scotsman is a wanker.

[The Kraig]

He is, yes. But he's a correct wanker in this case.

[Scruffy The Janitor]

Scotsman is a wanker.

[Skummy]

Scotsman had charm?

[MalaCloudy Black]

He just sort of rambled with a lot of vitriol and acted like a cunt.
