2004 - The War Begins Again

[T.J.]

Last year, I played through about a year and a half of a 2001 - WCW Survives game. I really enjoyed it, and had plans for it all the way to the end of 2003, but quit for whatever reason.

So, last week, I decided to make a Data out of it myself, starting where my plans would have ended. It was only supposed to be for me, but I thought "Why not share it?" and here it is.

It was made using April 2001 and January 2004 Data sets I got on the G Network. Only WWE and WCW are changed, and most of the stuff in it reflects what I did in that WCW 2001 game and what I planned to do in a WWF 2001 game earlier this year. It starts in January 2004, where WCW has just brought back Nitro to Monday Nights, restarting the Monday Night Wars.

Read the ReadMe before playing, it explains a lot about what had happened in the past 3 years, and has a full title history for WCW, as well as one for the WWE Title.

Ill give it a look, always interesting to see other peoples bookings.

Batista should prob be in WCW since he came from The Power Plant.

[T.J.]

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, Batista signed with the WWF in 2000, so he wouldn't have been in WCW at all.

You can't trust wikipedia. People can edit to their liking, even if it's not accurate.

[T.J.]

I believe every edit has to be approved.

[=BK=]

Nope, unless an article is protected you can go edit in annnnnything you want.

I heard Batista couldn't cut it in the power plant.

[T.J.]

^Yeah, DeWayne Bruce didn't like him at all.

Ok, on another note, who thinks I should flip some overness around in the main event of WCW?

Currently it's

Mike Awesome - 99

Dustin Rhodes - 98

AJ Styles - 96

Sting - 93

Booker T - 92

Goldberg - 90

To make it seem more realistic regarding how it normally would have been, should I make it:

Sting - 99

Goldberg - 98

Booker T - 96

Dustin Rhodes - 93

AJ Styles - 92

Mike Awesome - 90

I started a game as the WWE.

Tried to sign a couple of indy guys to developmental contracts but even though they accepted the contracts, they didn't show up on my roster and I went back to the indy company I'd signed them from and they were still there.

Granted I have this thing where I don't sign developmental talent to written contracts unless I'm afraid of losing them to a competitor, so I was trying to sign them to an open contract. Plus they also already had 3 other companies that they worked for.

Surely though, as the biggest company in the game, I should be able to sign any non-touring indy without any problems, no matter who else they are working for?

True that. I once tried to switch MLK and Darius Vassell's biographies around. It dodn't work with King but for about 2 weeks it said that Vassell was a prominant leader in the African-American civil rights movement.

I was young and immature. Now I'm just immature.

Who were you trying to sign? Because I just tried it and it let me sign Adam Pearce, Ruckus, and Steve Corino without any problems.

[T.J.]

Oh and by the way, the brand split doesn't exist in this game, so everyone with the roster split attached to them shouldn't have it, I just forgot to get rid of it.

[Noah]

Johnny Kashmere was one I couldn't sign and he's only with two other companies.

Actually I just tried to sign him to a written contract and he accepted it but why couldn't I sign him to an open one?

I just checked and Trent Acid was the same. (couldn't sign him to an open contract but he accepted a written one)

Edit:- The weirdest thing. I checked my emails and when I signed Trent, I got not one but three messages from Johnny Kashmere thanking me for signing Trent.

Edit:- The Messiah is another that I can't sign to an open contract.

[Guest mr. potato head]

Yes, sounds like TJ has some people set to open contracts with "None/NWA/ROH" or "WWF/None/ECW" or "None/None/GWF" (examples, I don't know what companies are in the data). Things get weird with signing guys to open contracts if their contracts in the editor have Nones ahead of actual promotions.

[T.J.]

Ah, that must be it. I deleted TNA, and I think 2 other companies I'd never heard of. That must have happened to them.
