[EWR] New 1990's Alternate Reality Scenario (Under Development)

[OGpistolpete]

So...I guess I've started developing a sort of alternate reality scenario using the August 1996 MASTERS database I have been working on for a few months. I don't know what really triggered it, but maybe its my unsatisfaction with the scenarios which are available. Sure there are plenty of mods to choose from, but only a few of them provide me the experience I desire. iDOMINATION has set the standard for what a true scenario should entail. Depth in information, promotions, rosters, accuracy, history, and detail. NWA Domination v2.0 used to match up in par, but after looking at the data today I don't see it as impressive anymore. Some of the others mods use crappy stats or have stupid backstories I can't get in to. And while iDOM has provided me plenty of enjoyment out of EWR, I want more to play, and more to create with.

So right off the bat I should note I don't think I'll be making an effort to be as deep as iDOM. My true purpose is to create purely an enjoyable alternate reality, with a good enough backstory to hold it all together. iDOL's NWA Handbook is phenomenal, and I don't think I want to put in the effort he did lol. But I do think everyone could enjoy a lot out of this scenario I have in mind, providing a solid variety of interesting scenarios within promotions, as well as the rosters to get some real solid play out of.

The main objective, I guess, is to provide a fun alternate reality version of wrestling, not necessarily centered around the domination of the National Wrestling Alliance. Rather, I want to provide an interesting, and even playing field of promotions contending for the true number one spot. However, most are not associated with one another, and the industry is as ruthless as it's ever been.

No, Wrestlemania didn't fail. While it was not as impactful as it turned out to be in real life, it was a wonderful success for Vince McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation, as he steered a promotion towards becoming the first true nationwide promotion. The territories continued to do fine, as loyal fan bases continued to turn out as McMahon's "sports entertainment" still struggled to generate dominating interest.One plan McMahon had up his sleeve involved his number one star, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage, who would become WWF Heavyweight champion at Wrestlemania III. Seemingly overnight, 'Macho Madness' began to sweep through America, as news of Savage's powerslam became the hottest item of discussion in schools, and even water coolers, across the country.

And just as quickly as the WWF seemed to be rising, the organization began to crumble. By the time this scenario begins, athletic and body enhancing steroids and growth hormones have become simultaneously associated with the WWF and one man, Vince McMahon. I don't want to do the research because it's just a waste of time to me, but imagine McMahon having been indicted on charges for illegal steroid distribution and collaboration with the guy the government was investigating originally. Several wrestlers leaving up to this point, and following his conviction, increased susceptibility of the WWF hosting a pro-steroid culture within its organization. In 1993, Vince McMahon is sentenced to seven-years in prison. Linda McMahon had already been transferred the role of CEO, so the company successfully handled the transition better than worse scenarios possible, but the company's image was severely damaged, and the company was forced to pay millions in fines, completely off-railing any progress the company had made since 'Macho Madness' had shot the promotion up into first place.

With the WWF knocked out, the rest of the wrestling industry was already making its move. McMahon's conviction was just the final piece to the puzzle.

But this first post won't focus on the WWF. Instead, I've been working on the biggest promotion in America, the National Wrestling Alliance.

While many of these alternate reality scenarios feature various NWA promotions making up the top tier of American wrestling, I thought it would be more interesting to see the NWA as a single entity by the late 1980's, promoting the traditional, conservative side of wrestling, and doing a very good job at it. Big names, big shows, big matches. The most prestigious world championship in the world. The NWA, by most, is considered the top promotion in America since the WWF's downfall in mid-1993.

So what I really want to do is offer up to anyone the opportunity to write a recent history of the NWA! Perhaps, starting from when they first became a single entity, essentially replacing Jim Crockett Promotions in the Mid-Atlantic, and re-branding themselves as the true national promotion in America. The company had rode behind names like Ric Flair and Sting, but r.eally became a true contender when 'Macho Man' Randy Savage left the WWF in 1991 and joined the NWA. The Undertaker was a creation of the NWA, and never competed for the WWF; while Genichiro Tenryu was marketed as one of the best and toughest Japanese wrestlers to ever live. Eventually, the promotion was joined by 'Million Dollar Man' Ted DiBiase and British Bulldog, both opting to leave the WWF following McMahon's conviction. Oh yeah, and they have a bad ass Four Horsemen combo. AND THE GREAT MUTA.

The NWA has had some of its own legal problems, however, as the company was accused by racism somewhere around 1994 by a black wrestler to be determined, leading to the company making quick hires of african-American wrestlers such as D'Lo Brown and Sir Muhammed, while providing training for former 'World's Strongest Man' Mark Henry, and former karate instructor Ernest Miller (to be renamed something more NOD-esque). I know it's early for the last two debuts, but 1996 is short of people to choose from like the wide variety of workers in iDOM or current day scenarios. Working with only 600 wrestlers is an interesting task. Anyway, the NWA hired these guys (paying them big money as a subtle public relations move), created the Nation of Domination stable, an angry Black Panther-esque stable who are currently begin pushed hard. Basically, the NWA is attempting to erase its image as a "racist" organization, as well as any damage in public image from the results of its ethnic discrimination lawsuit.

But then again, you can ignore all this crap when you play. I tend to do that sometimes.

Check out the near final roster for the NWA below, as well as its stats. I still don't know who to put the belts on, or any booking history on the promotion, which is what I'm looking for someone to complete.

Thoughts on this idea? The NWA roster? What's to come?

HELP ME

BTW, the bad ass part is, this is gonna be done really quickly, since the database itself is already pretty solid in terms of stats and salary bases. Plus I can do whatever I want with the data since I put it togethahz.

Sounds like great fun. Best of luck with this (Y)

[TheWho87]

Since Vince McMahon goes down for the steroid trial maybe it could be incorporated that Hulk Hogan was the one who testified to it and as such was blackballed from the WWF and possibly went back to AWA (if their active in your scenario).

Also not to knock you’re Blue Bloods stable but why not incorporate some other UK talent into the stable as opposed to rehashing the WCW version, maybe “Gentleman” Chris Adams, Johnny Kidd and/or Johnny Saint and possibly have Doc Dean and Robbie Brookside possibly as The Young Bloods

And personally I wouldn’t put David Sammartino in the NWA he just doesn’t seem to fit the NWA style to me.

Are there any other promotions pencilled in yet because personally I’d love to see World Class where the Von Erich’s are still alive/active, most mods tend to be set post WrestleMania meaning David tends to always be dead.

[OGpistolpete]

Typing this from my phone forgive any errors.

So TheWho your first part kind of ties in with the WSW logo I posted above. I really wanted to provide two national promotions at war with one another that weren't a McMahon promotion. 1987 is a very famous year in wrestling not just because of 'Macho Madness' sweeping the nation, but because of the formation of World Star Wrestling, a nationwide attempt based out of Chicago created out of the old AWA, Toronto, and Stampede Territories. I understand this is not very plausible, and that's why it didn't happen in real life. Sure, attempts like this were made down south, but what if these territories came together to save themselves after the success of Wrestlemania? Basing themselves out of Chicago with stars like the AWA's Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall as well as Stampede's Hart Family (including Bret and Owen), and other stars who would join the mix. By the turn of the decade, supercards/pay-per-views were the trend in pro wrestling. By 95 or 96 (whenever this takes place, probably January 1996), the WSW has stars like Curr Hennig and The Giant as well, and have a prime time show just like the NWA. They keep a traditional approach but provide in ring work a bit more fast-paced than NWA matches, as well as interesting storylines similar to the WWF Attitude Era, but not as risqué.

I'll consider your comments on the Blue Bloods and Sammartino when I'm back in front of my computer, thanks for the interest!

And yes, WCCW survives, but only thanks to merging with Memphis to form the USWA, who actually have a pretty stacked roster... I just haven't decided whether to put them at Cult level or keep them ate high regional... I mean, how much like the real (and crappy) USWA should they be? I do want to add the Von Erich's as well.

Edit: Updated with essentially complete backstory.

Presenting...
Hollywood Championship Wrestling (HCW)

Richard Branson had always been an interesting man. There is a short-supply of millionaires whom lack excitement and charisma, and almost none who aren't men of risk. Branson has always been a man of risk, investment ... adventure. He had always been a professional wrestling fan as well, with wonderful memories as a child going to Joint Promotions shows in and around London, where the allure of professional wrestling had never ceased to fascinate him. But, most of all, Branson was a driven man, and made his fortunes through a wide variety of business ventures, the most important being his launch and evolution of Virgin Records.

However, there has always been, one area of industry which has always seem to allude him. The old-boys club of the professional wrestling industry was just as tough to break in to as hierarchies of worldwide corporations. He knew a professional wrestling promotion in Britain wasn't set-up for success without major struggles along the road. The way he saw it, an extremely fortunate opportunity which could be seized upon would be the only way he could stick his hand in the bucket of North American wrestling, and successfully come away with a handful of water. And if that opportunity would never come? So be it. There were plenty of more niches to jump on, much more money to make elsewhere. It wasn't too concerning...

But my god pro wrestling...

Branson had spent countless nights as a young adult dreaming of the scenario. Of the operations involved in running a professional wrestling promotion. The thrill unlike any other handle of business. But now it seemed like forever since he had thought about it, until the trail of Vince McMahon got underway. Branson stayed on top of the latest news concerning the situation, and soon enough began planning his approach; his strategy for successfully breaking into the industry...

June 17th, 1993

Vince McMahon is convicted. And Branson sees his opening.

The mass exodus of WWF wrestlers was ignited like a wildfire, and Branson was quick to act. The phone calls began, word swift around. Quickly the situation went from, "I have to get out of Stamford" to "I have to get my tape to Branson's people". Not to mention, the media professional wrestling was receiving was unlike never before. Although, none of it was good, there was a silent eye on professional wrestling, and Richard Branson's creation was truly beginning to unfold. Off the heels of McMahon's downfall, Branson scooped up considerable World Wrestling Federation talent. The industry was taken aback when Branson held a huge press conference announcing the debut of Hollywood Championship Wrestling, to be starring the likes of Shawn Michaels, his partner in crime Kevin Nash, and Lex Luger. His biggest signing, however, was bringing in Hulk Hogan, who was fed up with his time spent apart of World Star Wrestling (a company, he helped put on the map). And when Hogan jumped, it was truly a big deal, as he and Branson went on a primetime media tour to promote the new product, which they both described as the future of sports entertainment...

Their first big pay-per-view was a major success in terms of sales, as HCW Big Bang set off the promotion in style on the third Sunday of July, 1994. A cocky, heel-oriented Shawn Michaels would become the first HCW World champion after defeating Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Lex Luger in a four-way main event hyped as 'The Showdown of Stars'. And while the ring-work was sloppy, things felt big. Things felt, really big. Debuting the next night on the USA Network, HCW Monday Night Heat was unlike any wrestling show the world had seen, with a major emphasis on the production quality, smooth flow of the show, and direction to keep the viewer glued to their television; not to mention the big matches on Monday nights.

To the rest of the industry, things felt like a coup. The old-boys were a bit shaken, but certainly not defeated. The National Wrestling Alliance hadn't done much to acknowledge any threat or anything that has happened in or around Hollywood Championship Wrestling. On the other side of the street however, World Star Wrestling had taken their jabs at the new Branson-business venture, referring to it as a "joke of a wrestling promotion", with Bret Hart taking certain shots at Hulk Hogan who had ditched the company for it.

But no matter what anybody said, or didn't say, Hollywood Championship Wrestling was catching on, and history may tell the old-boys club they should have perceived HCW as a threat from the beginning, possessing pockets of wealth greater than what the National Wrestling Alliance has to pool from. Not only that, but HCW presents a wide variety of wrestling matches and styles. From hardcore brawls, to fast-paced cruiserweight action, HCW had done well to provide it all.

Along the way, however, HCW hit a rough-patch of the road, as several factors began to collide in extraordinary fashion. It was reported that Branson was getting sick of running the promotion by the means he was already attending to (which means by the use of plenty officers on the forefront). As the busy business mogul he truly became, it only took Branson a short few months for him to realize full-time operations of a wrestling promotion was too much to add into his current plethora of responsibilities. The rumors began to mill once more, was Branson to dump the promotion off? Sell it? Possibly even kill it? No, no, he has contracts in place... Merge it? Join another promotion? But that was none of it, as the situation wasn't as dire as first anticipated. Instead, Branson was on the hunt for an Executive Vice President of Hollywood Championship Wrestling, to run things, in complete control, in Branson's place.

Every decision was to lay in the hands on one man. Who could turn Branson's investment into a profit.

One man, with the same vision.

Eric. Bischoff.

The company's current lead announcer, Bischoff was named to the position after relentless pitching of his vision to Branson. Having previously worked for the NWA on a secondary level, Bischoff took a chance by accepting a contract offer from the yet to debut Hollywood Championship Wrestling. From day one, Eric has been the company's lead announcer, but now, he was its ultimate.

Just for the record, Bischoff's reign seemed to have began around December of 1994. No immediate booking changes seemed to have take place, but his largest creation (or co-creation), certainly had to be the turn of Hulk Hogan from the childhood hero legend he had become known for, to one of the biggest heels in all of professional wrestling. At HCW's First Anniversary, Hogan successfully took the turn win he defeated Shawn Michaels to earn his first HCW World championship. But to Hogan, it wasn't about winning the title. He had held plenty of them.

For him, it was the principal of the matter.

Shawn Michaels had already been teasing a face turn, ever since he won the belt off Lex Luger, who had defeated him for it five months earlier in February. Michaels now had held the belt for another month, but the title would shift hands to Hogan, who many were thrilled to see begin his reign. But Hogan didn't begin it like any other reign. Instead, he refused his hand rose, and proceeded to spit, chuck, and stomp on the World championship. Taking the microphone, Hogan began ranting on about how much he had put into this business, and how little he had gotten out of it. How much his body had endured, the schedule he was forced to commit to, and how ungrateful all these fans were for it. How they all wanted the 'Sexy Boy' to keep the title. How Michaels had already begun referring to the World championship as his title. Well Hogan was going to one-up all of that, and soon enough everyone will be talking about the greatness of 'Hollywood' Hulk Hogan.

And after all this, Hogan refused the World championship. Instead, he declared himself, the Hollywood Heavyweight champion, brother.

Five months later, Hogan still holds his 'Hollywood' championship, and now has one man under his sleeve, Eric Bischoff. Revealed as the Executive Vice President of the organization just a month after his reign, Bischoff played mean towards Hogan, but in reality, slowly fell sway to one of the most capturing personalities in the industry. HCW's December pay-per-view, Mayhem on 34th Street, Bischoff officially revealed his alignment with Hogan, as the two successfully screwed Lex Luger out of his chance in taking the belt.

Now the Bischoff/Hogan alliance has officially begun, and there may not be much the rest of the Hollywood roster can do about it...

Just a couple of suggestions; the Lou Thesz "Memorial" School doesn't make a lot of sense for a '90s scenario, as Thesz died until 2002.

Unless Bob Star is specifically intended to be a parody of Hogan, I'd switch out the "Hollywood" nickname. It doesn't make a lot of sense for a lower card comedy worker to be using the same nickname as your top guy.

Bradshaw being JBL in the '90s is an odd one too. Obviously it's an alternate reality scenario, so things can work differently, but JBL was based on Bradshaw's own stock market successes, which as far as I'm aware he wasn't really involved with at this point.

Just a couple of suggestions; the Lou Thesz "Memorial" School doesn't make a lot of sense for a '90s scenario, as Thesz died until 2002.

Unless Bob Star is specifically intended to be a parody of Hogan, I'd switch out the "Hollywood" nickname. It doesn't make a lot of sense for a lower card comedy worker to be using the same nickname as your top guy.

I guess 'memorial' isn't an appropriate term to use. I think what I was aiming for was 'Commemorative', which is what I'm going to switch it to unless a better one can be suggested. I actually had a tough time thinking of a school name that sounds prestigious. Maybe something like the Cauliflower Wrestling Academy?

Bob Star is supposed to be a parody of Hogan.

And I like the idea of Bradshaw using his JBL gimmick from the get go. It was his most interesting and successful character, and I'm sick of Bradshaw being an ass-beating beer-drinking no-charisma big guy. It wasn't like Ric Flair was as rich as he became during the prime of his career when he started out. I just finished reading his book and he talked about how even though he talked the talk, he was hardly walking the walk.
