All I can really is, awesome! From the data, promotion histories to the PNG files for the logos that you included this is just fantastic, thank you!

[ScottSteinersleftpec]

Downloaded this before, and gotta say the last hour has been a lot of fun. Really well written backstory.

[KFab2]

Do you have a better link for me to download from?

[Meacon Keaton]

So I gave this a download, but when I go to click on the actual file it says "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect". I'm not a computer person by any means, so what does this mean, and what can I do to fix it?

[maurosdelca]

I just wanna say... thanks for this. Just awesome, the best scenario ever created for EWR. A 2013 update of this would be awesome though.

Are you talking about after it's fully downloaded and you try to open it with WinRAR?

I just wanna say... thanks for this. Just awesome, the best scenario ever created for EWR. A 2013 update of this would be awesome though.

Hey thanks guy! I hope to do something for 1997 and all the years down the line with many more promotions involved.

Yeah, it's fully downloaded and when I try to open it with WinRAR, it says that. I downloaded V1 scenario and it did the same thing, so I'm sure it's something wrong on my end. Just haven't had that happen to me with a scenario before, and I'm too computer illiterate to know what it means or how to fix it.

[chikbot]

I just wanna say... thanks for this. Just awesome, the best scenario ever created for EWR. A 2013 update of this would be awesome though.

I agree.

I want this badly.

I have a feeling in this new Scenerio,new stars will end up being born.

Bet you Cena would go to HCW

Oh, that would be pure gold.

[DoubleDeckerBar]

Thought I'd give this a download, it's really fun. Went with the WWF save as I've always been a WWF/E guy. My first main event was Austin & Cactus Jack vs. Triple H & Goldust, with Austin pinning Goldust after a botched interference by Shane. This was after Austin had already beaten Kurrgan earlier in the night.

Also, NWA fired KURT FREAKIN' ANGLE straight away, I made sure I snapped him right up haha. The Harris Brothers are available too, might sign them to boost the tag division, haven't decided yet.

I'm following the rules too, not really sure how I'm gonna book Shane as Champion for six months lol.

Also, who the fuck is Kris Kloss and where the fuck is JR? Haha.

Very cool! I'd love to hear more about how you guys booked your companies! Maybe it will give me some ideas for 1997 and so on!

I've played multipletudes of games using this mod with every company, and there's no way to prevent the NWA from releasing Kurt Angle without overstacking his stats in a needless manner. It is what it is, he's gold if you play with the NWA, he's gold if you don't, because you can swoop him right up and build him up from the start (fun, eh?)

Kris Kloss was an announcer for XPW, and WSX on MTV. Jim Ross is the announcer for NWA Primetime on TNT, alongside Bobby Heenan (dream team?)

[maurosdelca]

I have two saves started but very few time to book in the last few days, one with WWF, other one with the roster I like the most here... WSW. Nothing much yet as I just booked 2 shows for each but i plan on trying to follow the rules given in the pdf's, at least for WWF.

[Noah]

I was so looking forward to this but I'm getting an error message!

No fear on your end, I think it's probably something to do with my EWR being on a external hard drive(my internal hard drive from my old computer, where I originally had EWR, is now an external hard drive attached to my new computer).

Once I have that sorted out, I'll give you a report on my game

Well here are my first two shows if you're interested. Thought I'd write them out like real show as I play along, makes it more fun and detailed imo. Great job with this by the way, it's awesome.

Week 1

WWF Attitude 1/4/96

Opening Segment

The McMahon Alliance kick off the show with an in ring promo about 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Shane claims that Austin has no respect for authority and says that will change after tonight. Shane asks Hunter if there is anybody who hates Austin almost as much as they do, Hunter recalls the number of gruesome battles Austin has had with Cactus Jack over the last couple of years.

"Those two guys can't stand each other" Hunter explains. Shane chuckles to himself for a minute before signing Triple H & Goldust vs. Austin & Cactus Jack in tonight's main event. McMahon claims, however, that is not it for ‘Stone Cold’ tonight. McMahon says since Austin loves… “opening a can of whoop ass” grimacing as he mocks Austin’s catchphrase, than Austin can do double duty tonight. McMahon signs Austin vs. his bodyguard, Kurrgan. “And that’s the bottom line, cause SHANE MCMAHON said so” Big heat for Shane here.

Graphic: The Godfather vs. Buff Bagwell. UP NEXT

The Godfather vs. Buff Bagwell

Godfather comes to the ring accompanied by his hoes as always. Buff Bagwell cuts a short promo before the match and reminds us that he's "Buff the Stuff, and the girls can't get enough" Bagwell tried to hit on Godfathers hoes but was attacked by Godfather to start the match. Godfather dominates the match, downing Bagwell with power moves.

Godfather goes for his finisher but is reversed by Buff, who catches Godfather with a roll-up. Buff grabs a hand full of tights for the three. Buff bolts before Godfather can gain revenge.

Buff arrogantly smirks from the top of the ramp, whilst The Godfather looks pissed in the ring. Decent heat here for Bagwell.

Winner: Buff Bagwell

A creepy video airs hyping the mysterious Raven.

Kane vs. Steve 'Mongo' McMichael

Kane's power moves looked good, but Mongo's terrible selling was evident to see. Kane wins in just over a minute with a Chokeslam. Complete squash. Following his easy victory, Kane, unsatisfied with the beating, hoisted the helpless McMichael up for a brutal Tombstone Piledriver while James Vandenberg laughs maniacally.

Kane raises his arms and sets off his creepy pyro as his music plays. McMichael is stretchered out to end the segment. Debra is hysterical as she follows the paramedics.

Winner: Kane

The announcers put over Kane and while Kris Kloss expresses concern for McMichael, Paul Heyman doesn’t appear too concerned.

‘Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Kurrgan

Kurrgan makes his way to the ring first, conspicuous by their absence are Shane McMahon & Triple H, perhaps this is a test for Kurrgan? The glass shatters and the crowd goes nuts for Austin as he comes sprinting down the ramp and immediately floors Kurrgan with a trademark Lou Thesz Press to start the match. Kurrgan gets the heat on Austin for a spell, but the “Texas Rattlesnake” never looked like losing this one, and defeats Kurrgan relatively quickly with the Stunner.

Nothing to see here… except for Kurrgan’s bad selling. ‘Mongo’ McMichael & Kurrgan in matches back-to-back, YIKES.

Winner: ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin

Bam Bam Bigelow in ring segment

Bigelow says somebody as physically imposing as he is should be the WWF Champion but he is not. Bigelow says nobody respects him and he has had enough. Bigelow says he has recruited somebody to be his manager who is going to turn his career around, and introduces "the legendary" Larry Zbyszko.

Zbyszko talks about Bigelow being held down because he doesn't "kiss the fans ass like everyone else" Zbyszko says that it is time for a change, and change is here!

Zbyszko claims that under his guidance, Bigelow will become the most fearsome WWF Superstar off all time. The Brooklyn Brawler's music hit and out he came to a decent pop for the match.

Bam Bam Bigelow vs. The Brooklyn Brawler

The Brawler has a very short spell of offence at the start of the match, before being cut off by Bigelow. Brawler proved no match for Bam Bam, as he was thrown around like a rag doll throughout. Bigelow punished The Brawler for several minutes, with a sadistic grin on his face, enjoying his brutality. Bigelow finally put The Brawler out of his misery at the 5 minute mark for the easy win.

Zbyszko gives a stern nod of approval, clearly impressed with his new clients decisive victory. Bigelow threatens some fans on his way back up the ramp to good heat.

Winner: Bam Bam Bigelow

Backstage interview with the WWF Champion, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin

Austin is as intense as ever, first emasculating interviewer Don West before laying a verbal beat down on Shane McMahon & Triple H. Austin says that he doesn’t need a partner tonight. He called Goldust an ugly make-up wearing pathetic excuse of a man but claimed that he is still more of a man than Shane & Triple H. Austin tells Cactus not to tag in, as he'll whoop both Goldust & Hunter's ass himself, and says if Jack has a problem with that, he has no problem revisiting last years Wrestlemania and stomping a mud hole in his ass.

Non Title Match: The Sandman vs. Sabu

'Enter the Sandman' plays around the arena to a big pop, as the crowd know the Intercontinental Champion, The Sandman is coming. Sabu is out next to not much of a reaction. Even, somewhat sloppy match between these two extremists. Colour Commentator, Paul Heyman, spends the entire match putting over how great Sabu is, whilst burying The Sandman.

Sandman looks to be closing in on the victory when Paul Heyman leaves the commentary desk and throws a chair into the ring. Heyman uses this as a distraction as when the referee goes to throw the chair back out of the ring, Heyman sneakily passes Sabu brass knucks. Sabu knocks out Sandman behind the refs back and covers him for the three.

Good heat for Heyman's antics. Heyman celebrates with Sabu as the referee tends to The Sandman in the ring.

Winner: Sabu

Camera cuts backstage, we see Cactus Jack preparing for tonight big main event, which is UP NEXT.

Main Event: 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin & Cactus Jack vs. Triple H & Goldust (w/ Shane McMahon, Kurrgan & Marlena)

Austin & "The Game" start things off. Triple H takes control early but Austin quickly turns things around with a Lou Thesz Press. Cactus Jack tags himself in, causing Austin to stare a hole through him. Austin & Cactus tease dissension throughout the match, tagging themselves in numerous times. "The Bizarre One" & "The Game" isolate Cactus Jack from his partner.

"The Game" & Goldust utilize quick tags, working very well as a team, much contrast to their opponents. After taking a beating for several minutes, Jack manages to level Goldust with a DDT. Austin gets the hot-tag and runs riot on Triple H & Goldust. Austin even takes out The McMahon Alliance's muscle, Kurrgan, on the outside, throwing him face first into the steel steps.

Austin flips off Shane O'Mac on the outside to a huge pop. Upon returning to the ring, Austin is irish whipped straight into the referee by Goldust. REF BUMP. Goldust & Helmsley double team Austin, but the recovered Cactus evens the sides up. All hell has broken loose.

The young owner see's his opportunity, McMahon grabs a steel chair from ringside and levels Cactus Jack upside the head, laying "The Hardcore Legend" out. McMahon goes to give Austin the same treatment but the savvy "Rattlesnake" ducks and McMahon unintentionally levels "The Game" with the chairshot. Shane cannot believe it. Things go from bad to worse for the young McMahon as he turns around right into a "Stone Cold Stunner" Goldust attempts to blindside Austin but he too is hit with a Stunner. Austin makes the cover as the fallen referee slowly counts the three. Austin and Cactus win, the crowd goes wild.

Winners: 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin & Cactus Jack

Austin climbs the ropes and salutes the crowd, whilst knocking back a few beers. Shane McMahon looks on from the ramp in disgust while "The Rattlesnake" shares a nod of respect with his long time rival Cactus Jack to end the show.

Used your old thread as inspiration for a couple of matches.

Week 2

WWF Attitude 1/11/96

Opening Segment

The show opens with an already ongoing backstage brawl between 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin & Bam Bam Bigelow. The announcers explain that Austin was attacked by Bam Bam shortly before we came on the air. The brawl comes to an end as numerous officials separate Bigelow & the WWF Champion. Austin makes sure to label Bigelow an "ugly fat son of a bitch" before being escorted away by officials.

McMahon Alliance Promo

The crowd is red hot, having witnessed such an action packed start to the show. The cheers soon turn to thunderous boo's however, as Shane McMahon's music hits. The young McMahon, as always flanked side by side with his "chosen one" Triple H and bodyguard Kurrgan, looked as smug and arrogant as ever. Shane managed to throw a few insults the crowds way before proceeding with his promo.

McMahon admitted that last week had not gone the way he had planned. He claimed however that it was only a minor hiccup in "the bigger picture for the World Wrestling Federation"

McMahon claimed that clearly Austin, being the hot headed, uneducated redneck that he is, is already itching for a fight. Shane says if it's a fight Austin wants, it's a fight he'll get. McMahon signs Austin vs. Bam Bam Bigelow tonight in a First Blood Match. McMahon also says he hasn't forgotten about Cactus Jack.

Shane calls Cactus an ingrate and says he'll get what is coming to him tonight, he signs Cactus vs. Triple H & Kurrgan in a Handicap Match. McMahon looks extra proud of himself tonight.

The cameras cut to backstage where Buff Bagwell is shown looking uneasy standing outside a locker room.

The camera pans slightly and it's shown that he's standing outside KANE's locker room. Bagwell takes a deep breath and does a quick pray to the heavens before going inside. What could Bagwell possibly want with Kane? More importantly, will he live to tell the tale?

We get a recap of the events that transpired last week between The Sandman & Sabu.

Fellow announcer Kris Kloss wants an explanation from Heyman. Heyman tells to him shut up and mind his own business.

'Enter The Sandman' plays around the arena and Heyman looks like he's seen a ghost, knowing the Intercontinental Champion is here, and will want answers. Sandman storms right over to the announce table and grabs Heyman by the throat, Heyman pleads with Sandman to let him go and apologises. Sandman laughs at Heyman and drags him to the ring.

Just as The Sandman is about to cane the hell out of the devious Heyman, Sabu runs to the ring for the save, attacking The Sandman with lefts and rights. Heyman plays cheerleader for the beat down, yelling "PUNISH HIM!" over and over. Sabu sets up a table in the ring, Heyman hands him a chair too as they place Sandman's beaten body onto the table. Sabu, steal chair in hand, gives Sandman a chair-assisted leg drop through the table while Paul Heyman looks on in delight.

Heyman and his new ally stand over Sandman, Heyman laughing almost uncontrollably, to end the segment.

Sabu walks to the back and Heyman returns to his position at ringside. Announcer Kris Kloss condemns Heyman for his actions and asks him what in the world is he thinking?

Heyman says that he's known both Sabu & The Sandman for nearly ten years,and that Sabu was there whenever he needed him, while The Sandman used him to get into the wrestling business.

Kris Kloss shakes his head and shifts gears, hyping the upcoming tag team match between The Headbangers & The Eliminators. Heyman wonders whether the winners will be next in line for a shot at The Pitbulls for the Tag Team Championship.

The Headbangers vs. The Eliminators (w/ Woman)

Kronus starts off with Thrasher and quickly the heels gain an advantage. The announcers pretty much ignore the entire match, first talking about tonight's main event, the First Blood Match between 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin & Bam Bam Bigelow, before moving on to how Shane McMahon and the rest of The McMahon Alliance may try to get involved.

The finish to this match comes when Mosh is incapacitated on the outside and The Eliminators hit Thrasher with "Total Elimination" for the clean pin. Both announcers agree that The Eliminators were impressive and may well have a legitimate claim to a title shot.

Winners: The Eliminators

The Godfather is shown walking backstage with plenty of his Ho's by his side, he goes one on one with Waylon Mercy NEXT.

The Godfather (w/ Ho's) vs. Waylon Mercy

Waylon looks disgusted by The Godfather and his Ho's antics. Godfather floors Mercy with a big shoulder block to start things off. Buff Bagwell is shown watching backstage, grinning from ear to ear, does he know something we don't? Mercy gets the heat on Godfather for a few minutes before The Godfather makes his comeback and wins with his finisher to a decent pop. The Ho's make their way into the ring to celebrate with The Godfather.

Winner: The Godfather

Post Match: The Godfather grabs the mic and reminds everyone that "pimpin' ain't easy" and asks if there's anyone in attendance who wants to ride the 'Ho Train'?

As The Godfather is about to select a volunteer from the audience a sea of red engulfs the arena and Kane's unmistakable music plays. "Vandenberg's Monster" makes his way to the ring as Godfather's Ho's scurry off in terror.

Godfather, perhaps with more guts than brains, won't back down and takes the fight, momentarily at least, to Kane as he enters the ring. Kane soon overwhelms The Godfather and hoists the 300+ pounder up for a Chokeslam with ease. Kane goes to leave but Vandenberg wants more, Kane returns to ring to deliver a devastating Tombstone Piledriver to Godfather. Kane raises his arms and sets off his pyro before he and Vandenberg make their way back up the ramp as his music plays.

Buff Bagwell appears, making sure to wait long enough for Kane to be long gone. Bagwell taunts the fallen Godfather, placing his foot on his chest whilst raising his arms in victory. The crowd boo heavily. Buff seems to be really getting over as a slime ball heel.

The McMahon Alliance are shown going over strategy backstage, Triple H & Kurrgan vs. Cactus Jack is up NEXT

The McMahon Alliance (Triple H & Kurrgan) vs. Cactus Jack

Before the match can get started, WWF Owner President Shane McMahon appears on the ramp to announce that this match will be a No DQ match, which brings a sick grin to the face of Cactus Jack. Jack brings the fight to both Kurrgan & "The Game" early on with a flurry of rights and lefts. It doesn't take long for it to get extreme, as Cactus introduces numerous steel chairs into the ring.

Despite being in control for the early going, Cactus is soon overwhelmed by the numbers and The McMahon Alliance take control of the contest. Helmsley smashes Jack across the skull with a sick steel chair shot but the resilient Jack is able to get his shoulder up at two. Kurrgan then levels Jack with a stiff looking Spear for another near fall.

The fans rally behind Cactus as he begins to make a comeback, hitting a DDT on Helmsley before taking the fight to Kurrgan on the outside. Helmsley comes to the outside looking to get a sneak shot in but is thwarted and is thrown face first into the ringpost. Cactus returns to the ring and lock the "Mandible Claw" on Kurrgan, who appears to be close to passing out, what an amazing victory this will be for Cactus Jack! But wait.. Goldust runs to the ring and breaks it up, he brawls with Cactus, eventually subduing the "Hardcore Legend" with a low blow. Cactus Jack just doesn't know what he's beaten though, as he recovers and hammers away at Goldust, however the distraction Goldust's arrival caused allowed Triple H to recover on the outside.

"The Game" returns to the ring, leveling Cactus in the back with a steel chair, he smashes Jack across the back as many as eight times before picking the fallen Jack up and delivering the Pedigree, making sure Jack goes face first on to the bent steel chair. Hunter covers Jack for the three.

Winners: The McMahon Alliance (Triple H & Kurrgan)

Post Match: Shane McMahon appears at the top of the ramp, smiling, he looks pleased with his boys work, as he calls them to the back. Cactus is laid out in the ring, beaten and battered.

Goldust orders Marlena to get him a microphone, he says if the fans think Cactus Jack personifies hardcore than they haven’t seen nothing yet. Goldust throws Jack's lifeless carcass to the outside. Goldust positions his arm in between the ringpost and the steel steps, then proceeds to bash the steps with a steel chair, trying to break Cactus Jack's arm in the process. Cactus withers in pain as the EMT's tend to him. The announcers put over Cactus Jack's heart and spirit and Heyman notes that Goldust may have just opened up a can of worms he may want no part of. Goldust smiles, creepily sticking his tongue out while Marlena puffs on her trademark cigar to end the segment.

Another video airs hyping the mysterious Raven.

Kloss and Heyman put over Raven's impending arrival to the World Wrestling Federation and predict he'll be a force to be reckoned with. Heyman admits Raven freaks him out.

Savio Vega (w/ Viscera) vs. La Parka

Savio gets on the mic before the match starts. He talks about growing up on the streets in Puerto Rico and claims to have made something of himself. Savio says that the Puerto Rican people have never had a somebody to look up to, he says they've never had a hero, until now. Vega dedicates the match to "his people" and tells kids to watch him carefully because one day they can be just like him.

Heyman claps and praises Vega's patriotism while Kloss believes Vega is full of it.

Okay match that the crowd weren't really into, Vega plays a good heel and managed to get some heat, although the crowd didn't particularly care for La Parka as a babyface.

The finish comes when Vega's bodyguard, Viscera, gets up on to the apron to distract La Parka, allowing Savio to hit him flush in the face with a Spinning heel kick for the win.

Winner: Savio Vega

Post Match: Savio calls Viscera into the ring to attack La Parka, the heel duo start stomping Parka until Eddie Guerrero, armed with a Singapore Cane, runs down to make the save. Savio bails and Viscera takes a shot to the back with the cane before falling out of the ring. Eddie motions for Vega to come and fight him but the offer is declined. Eddie checks on La Parka. The crowd was hot for Eddie.

The announcer hype the main event First Blood Match between Austin & Bigelow which is UP NEXT. Heyman says Austin represents everything that is wrong with America, just like The Sandman, and he hopes he gets what is coming to him.

Main Event: First Blood Match: ''Stone Cold' Steve Austin vs. Bam Bam Bigelow (w/ Larry Zbyszko)

Bigelow is out first, accompanied by his new Manager Larry Zbyszko to decent heel heat. The glass shatters and "The Texas Rattlesnake" emerges to by far the pop of the night. Austin wastes no time whatsoever, immediately going after Bigelow with his brawling style, which will be perfect for this kind of match. Bigelow cuts Austin's flurry of offence off with a huge clothesline.

Bigelow uses rest holds to slow the match down, trying to take the crowd out of it in the process. Bigelow tries his hardest to keep Austin down, but it was only a matter of

time before Austin would rally, making his comeback somehow taking the behemoth Bigelow down with a patented "Lou Thesz Press" As it inevitably would, the match turns into a hardcore affair when Bam Bam introduces many foreign objects into the match, including a trash can. Bigelow is on a mission to prove to the world that he belongs in the main event scene, dishing out huge amounts of punishment to the WWF Champion, seemingly coming closer and closer to busting "The Rattlesnake" open and getting a huge win.

With his frustration growing, Bigelow ordered his manager, Zbyszko, into the ring with the ring bell. Zbyszko goes to smash Austin in the skull but is beaten to the punch as Austin nails a Stunner on the wily veteran. After a few more minutes of brawling, the turning point in the match came when Austin was able to retrieve the ring bell, which Bam Bam's manager had introduced, and blast the 400 pounder in the face, covering it in the proverbial "crimson mask" winning the match in the process. Following the hard fought victory, Austin gave Bigelow a "Stone Cold Stunner" for good measure, before saluting the crowd to celebrate the win.

Winner: 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin

Shane McMahon cuts off Austin's victory celebration. McMahon says everybody thinks Austin has gotten the better of him again, but, like always, they're wrong.

Shane says that Austin may well be the WWF Champion, but he won't be for much longer. The Royal Rumble is just a few weeks away, explains McMahon, and for only the second time in World Wrestling Federation history, the WWF Championship will be on the line in the Royal Rumble match it's self. McMahon also says that Austin will be entering the match from the number one position.

Austin says it doesn't matter what odds Shane puts in front of him, he'll kick 29 son' bitches asses and throw each and everyone of those lil' bastards over

the top rope and win the Rumble for the second year in a row and retain the Title. Austin calls Shane a silver spoon sucking bastard, and says he is sick of looking at his smug little face.

Austin challenges McMahon and his "two bitches" to come to the ring and fight him right now. McMahon motions for back-up and gets it with Kurrgan, the two make their way to the ring as Austin waits, ready to fight. But no, SNEAK ATTACK, Triple H comes from the crowd to smash Austin in the back on the knee with a wrench of some sort.

"The Game" is relentless in the assault, repeatedly striking Austin in the left leg with the wrench. With "The Rattlesnake" down, McMahon made his way to the ring. Shane taunted Austin, getting in his face, even slapping him. Austin stirs and goes for McMahon with the remaining remnants of energy he had left, but is floored again by Triple H, who clobbers him across the back with the wrench.

Austin is down and out, but "The Game" isn't done, showing his ruthless side by picking the fallen "Rattlesnake" up and delivering a face crushing Pedigree.

McMahon, ecstatic that his arch nemesis had been destroyed, grabbed the mic again.

"You'll never beat me Austin, YOU'LL NEVER BEAT US!" "You think you're tough huh!"

"Look at you Austin, you're pathetic!" I OWN YOU AUSTIN, YOUR ASS BELONGS TO SHANE…. NO, YOUR ASS BELONGS TO MR. MCMAHON!"

The McMahon Alliance stand over Stone Cold to mega heat to end the show.

Think I'm gonna go far with this save. Enjoying it immensely. The only cheat/edit I used with the editor was to make Zbyszko a manager.

Very cool man glad you're really enjoying it keep 'em coming that was a blast to read!

[D-Wade99]

Dude, just wanna say I'm not much of a scenario guy. But read every back story and this is truly amazing.

Gonna start a WWF game and bring them back to glory. Planning to push Goldust and Kane huge.

Dude, just wanna say I'm not much of a scenario guy. But read every back story and this is truly amazing.

Gonna start a WWF game and bring them back to glory. Planning to push Goldust and Kane huge.

Glad you're liking it! Let me know how it goes!

[The Judas Factor]

First of all let me say that the reason your owners file is corrupted is because the first staff member has to be an owner (if I remember correctly) so when that is changed it corrupts everything else.

Secondly, I applaud the work that you put into this scenario. Writing up all the backstory and everything takes a lot. I know because I had a similar idea that never got off the ground because I couldn't find time to do all of the work.

With that being said I'm going to give my honest opinion. I give this a 5/10. It's a good idea with some interesting twists, but some things just don't make sense to me.

For instance you changed Hulk Hogan's major role in WWF to being Randy Savage. That's cool because I liked Savage, moreso than I ever did Hogan, but Savage bodyslamming Andre doesn't make sense. The scenario seemed to center around Vince getting found guilty and going to jail which would mean logically that most everything prior to that would be the same. So Hogan would have played a major part in WWF.

Another thing I didn't understand was where Hogan went? I see him in HCW as the "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan character but again that doesn't make sense to me really. Hogan seems to play a very diminished role in this scenario so his "shocking" turn wouldn't have had the impact that it did.

Lastly there seems to be times that you mimick real life things just to do it. For instance Steve Austin. You had him adopt the Austin 3:16 attitude era slogan, but that doesn't make any sense at all. When Austin 3:16 broke out he was feuding with Jake Roberts who was using a "preacher" type gimmick that mimicked his real life acceptance of Christianity. Roberts used John 3:16 frequently so when Austin did it, he was mocking Jake. In this scenario he gave the same speech to Shane McMahon who, unless you just didn't put it in there, wasn't using any sort of religious gimmick. Therefore it makes the entire catchphrase confusing and I'm not sure that had it not been for Jake Roberts playing a great heel at the time, Austin 3:16 wouldn't have taken off as it did as a catchphrase.

The Undertaker is something else that confuses me. You have him in WCW with his undertaker gimmick but it was Vince McMahon who gave Taker his gimmick, something that would have been largely the same since his debut happened in 1990, a full 6 years before the scenario takes place.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that there was a lot of room for you to get very creative with how things could be different and yet in many ways you just took the same gimmicks and moved them around. Even using WWF names (i.e. Umaga) instead of coming up with something original or using versions of older gimmicks they had. Kane is another example of using a WWF inspired gimmick that probably never would have come about.

I'm not trying to completely bash the scenario as I am playing it and it is fun to play, but I wanted to be honest and say that I was disappointed with how things turned out from a creative standpoint.
