The Aftermath of Attitude - Preview and Hype

[TheWho87]

Anyone who's been following my failed scenario attempts know that 9/10 times they die, well this is one I don't want to die and actually is closer to completion that most of the other, since I last posted about this I've move it from EWR to TEW (since the plan was to get it finished before the monthly updates) and to expand it into the new regions opened by TEW and so far its gone well.

For those who want to know "what the fuck is this about", the brief of the scenario is this.

Set in January 2010, the wrestling world has gone through a tough few years with a massive slump in the industry due to fans leaving in the "Aftermath of Attitude" as well as global and economical slumps, promotions have survived some have fallen however 2010 is the start of the revival of professional wrestling in the world.

Now I'll be trying to update this as much as possible, I tend to work on this now in between updating the monthly TEW updates so got loads more free time to work on it now since their able to contain themselves for now. So here's hoping I get round to finalising all these things and getting it released (and if not I'll most likely release it early with some of the info stuff a bit lacking).

World Wrestling Federation

Backstory

After the success of the "Attitude Era", Vince McMahon felt times needed a change and throughout 2001 it was implemented that a change was coming and at WrestleMania X-8 that change happened, after a surprise victory in the 2002 Royal Rumble by a relative unknown, a debuting Brock Lesnar eliminated 29 other men and got his shot at Triple H for the world title at the biggest stage of them all and after taking Triple H to his limits and after 30 minutes in the ring Lesnar hit his F-5 and climbed the top rope and executed the perfect Shooting Star Press winning the world title in a few months after his debut. This was the start of the change where as the attitude era focused on the story and the shock surprise and action this "New Age" was focused on talent who could perform, who could deliver exceptional ability not seen anywhere before, it was a return to their original routes of being an actual wrestling promotion over the entertainment.

During the first few years of the "New Age" their was a lot of fresh new talent something that had not been successful for a few years since the promotion focused more on its main roster over brining in many new stars but in the course of 4 years (2002-2006) their were more that 50 new wrestlers brought up to revitalise the promotion and it worked, stars such as Randy Orton, John Cena, Kurt Angle, Edge & Robert Roode became household names, WWE found the formula that to keep the promotion feeling fresh and new you needed fresh new talent and although there were the regular stars who everyone knew (such as Triple H, Steve Austin & The Rock) these new stars were treated as equals.

Current Situation

Over the past years the WWF has gone unchallenged as the #1 promotion in the Unites States with WCW building back up and ECW pushing for contention but over the past year with the industry in recovery the gap between the three has become ever so smaller, 2010 is the year when the big three will be battling for the top spot. The WWF has been in a period of doing the same things for many years, they will have to change and bring in a new era if they want to survive the wars.

Stampede Wrestling

Backstory

After Bret Hart left WCW at the start of the millennium due to cost cutting measures he wanted to get back to the business but couldn't go to the WWF and he didn't wish to work on the small independents so he decided to revive Stampede Wrestling, it had folded a couple years before through bad management and lack of funding but Bret thought he could bring back the promotion and make it successful. The first tour was a shaky start however by the final of the first tour which would result in the reunion of the Hart Foundation and Owen's last ever match they sold out and continued to draw big results all over Canada. With the opening of the Calgary Dungeon the promotion stopped doing tours and started promoting more regularly with its own hand groomed talent.

Stampede Wrestling had got a strong hold of the Canadian scene however they have been losing their audience to the newly opened Fabulous Quebec Wrestling promotion who have taken away half of their "turf", this has led to a family war of sorts between the Harts and Rougeaus.

Still Canada's number one promotions their fights the turf wars against Fabulous Quebec Wrestling and although still winning their gradually losing their audience.

[Guest NY Yankees]

is this dead or still alive?

[TheWho87]

its still allive but i do also work on the monthly updates and have been focusing on that over the end/start of the month, should start back up on this over the weekend so expect some more info some time next week

[Slash22]

It looks interesting.

I do some of these myself though I don't have a backstory.

I just like to do some "what if" scenarios.

LIke what if in 1997 ECW had it's talent on wriiten contracts and WCW and WWF weren't able to take them?

I like to switch rosters around too and what comes of it.

This is the most fun in DOTT because I like to see who gets pushed over time.

[Guest Big Dog]

No intention to rain on your parade, but what happened to your 1996 scenario?

[TheWho87]

still around although i actually had to redo most of it cause i was taking the quick route before so im going through fixing things

Joint Promotions

Backstory

Formed in October of 2007 after the formation of the Virgin1 channel, with sporting rights to other key UK sports events taken and wishing to bring sports fans to the channel it was devised that Virgin Media should create its own sport which was then Alex Shane propositioned to the board that wrestling could bring in the fans like it did in the glory days. It was under this premise that the deal was struck and it was for an initial 3 month run, debuting on October 1st 2007 it was the highlight of the starting schedule and although the first episode didn't draw as much as was expected over the coming weeks the ratings kept growing, with this Branson commissioned the promotion for a 3 year deal and as time went on Branson got more involved to the point the became the major investor in the company and opened up links with small independent promotions all over the UK which helped him expand the talent pool for the promotion.

Current Situation

During 2009 the ratings levelled out and throughout the year they went down to a low yet steady level, even with his financial fix in the company the company is at risk of losing its spot especially how in recent years they have been competing with ECW on the same networks. Joint Promotions over recent years has been moving to a more open policy working with Edler's FWA in the south as well as expanding into Europe with Hero and Castagnoli's WWA promotion brining in more talent from all over the world hoping to reversing the current ratings blip.

Grupo de Revolucion Mundo

Backstory

In 2002 Mexican wrestling was hit hard, with the american leagues “invading” the region and drawing the crowd away from the traditional live gates went down drastically and by the start of 2003 both Asistencia Asesoría y Administración and Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre was drawing crowds less than half they were the previous year and brining in less money. The two groups decided it was time to fight these invaders head on and agreed that that years TripleMania was going to be the first to be co-promoted as the promotions devised a inter-promotional war feud which was just the thing to bring the fans back and 2003 ended with both groups back on top form however when they both promoted separately they were still drawing less, that was when they devised how to end the feud, the final of the year long feud culminated at TripleMania of 2004 and it was winners take all, the promotion to score the most falls over the night would leave with everything, it was then the biggest shock to Mexican wrestling hit, former WWF champion Kurt Angle gate crashed the main event with Hager and Benjamin and the trio cleaned house ending the show in a draw, he then took the microphone and told the fans this was a revolution and his group would be in total control. By the end of the month it was announced that due to the finish both promotions were to end and in their place the new world revolution.

Current Situation

After stabilising their place as the top promotion in Mexico they have decided its time to take the war to America and have started to push the league into both Texas and California bringing a new style of wrestling not seen in mainstream American wrestling, will 2010 be the year of the luchadores in the united states.

[cpt.charisma]

is this for tew 2010 or a older version of the game ?

Tew05 i believe

[TheWho87]

Yeah it’s TEW05, it was meant for EWR but since I upgraded thought I’d upgrade it as well, after it gets released if anyone would wish to convert it to TEW2010 then I wouldn’t say no I’d just want to know that’s what their doing with it.

[TheWho87]

Short one here but their a more recently opened promotion game world wise.

Chikara Pro-Wrestling

Backstory

One of the most recent opening promotions has gained a loyal fan following for offering a completely different style than anywhere else in the Unites States. Using mainly unknown wrestlers and trainees from its wrestling school, Chikara Pro had put together a mix of lucha libre with a family friendly feel which continues to bring the fans wherever they go.

Current Situation

They have recently opened up a trading link with Europe through World Wrestling All-Stars giving some talent a more diverse experience working under Hero and Castagnoli.

[Eidgan]

Can you give us a hypothesis about when you finish and publish the scenario? Personally, I'm looking forward to playing with this scenario

[TheWho87]

Well current status of the database is that 1/3 of the workers profiles are finished, that seems to be the main problem with the data now just me getting round to finishing them, when I get around 1000 finished then I’ll most likely make it public and get some feedback on possible changes/upgrades to improve the database and release further updates to the database.

Just remember I do also work on the monthly real world updates which do take priority.

Edited April 13, 2010 by TheWho87

[Slash22]

I honestly don't know when you find time to play the game....

[EddieG]

Especially with me pestering him on msn all the time.

I always wonder how much time these guys get to actually play.

[TheWho87]

I'm toying with the idea of releacing this early when the graphics are finished as aposed to waitign for me to finish all the profiles, that way its out and i can develop it a bit more with some input based off the actual ingame world

[Slash22]

I like that idea to be honest.

Sometimes it helps to have a few extra pair of eyes looking at things.

I should have internet at my apartment (the legal way) sometime on saturday so I'll be able to look at the game while online unlike now where I come on here from work and have to remember things I noticed from earlier. Though I do keep notes of stuff.
