So, yeah. I think the title should be indicative of what this is. ... Or maybe not. This is basically an awful (read: awful) playthrough of TEW (Total Extreme Wrestling) 2005, in which I take control of a wrestling federation and attempt to DO BUSINESS THINGS with it. Being the masochist that I am, I intend to do this by building up a promotion from the ground up. Why? I dunno. Probably because this playthrough is inspired by a certain Football Manager thread. Also, credit to Jprebs for actually teaching me how to screenshot this shit properly. Because I had no idea puush was a program, lol. [spoiler=DA SETUP] the actual setup for my promotion aside from popularity. no pre-existing contracts, 10% popularity in my home region and 0% in all others. we hardcore backyard mode now. also, super-quick overview of styles: [spoiler=Major Promotion Styles] Sports Entertainment: Fucktons of promos and short matches. Good wrestlers need not apply. Traditional: Old school wrasslin'. Just watch 80s stuff and you'll get what this style entails. Pure: Japanese wrasslin', basically. Lucha Traditional: Mexican wrasslin'. Lucha Pure: What happens when a luchador buttfucks Kenta Kobashi and the spawn makes a fed. See also: Dragon Gate USA. Hybrid: Some MMA shit. Hardcore: ECW. No, really, this is pretty much ECW. Garbage: ECW if Paul Heyman wasn't around. Family Friendly: PG ERA Cutting Edge: The only thing I 100% know how to book. It's cool because fuck storylines. Women's Wrasslin': Comes in three flavours: WWE lite, SHIMMER and porn. anyways. moving on. THE FACE OF MERCY IS NOT FOUND HERE. so right away my game tells me I have NO ANNOUNCERS and no SHINY BELTS to fight for. alas. checking settings, I must adjust shit. okay, now I'm good. the task now: FIND WRASSLERS. the recommended water for my backwater promotion. I'll go with it, I guess. first, get the FUTURE FACE OF THE PROMOTION by looking for young folk. I decide on this guy. [spoiler=NOOIE LEE, THE WEEB KING OF 200% MAD WRESTLING] more detailed description later lel then I change to looking for 24 year olds and find an even better future king. a guy who broke his neck on pay-per-view once. legit. [spoiler=JESSE SORENSEN, THE ACTUAL FUTURE KING] so yeah. then I try and sign a dude named TWEEK. south park jokes, etc etc. [spoiler=TWEEK. JUST TWEEK.] then I see THIS GUY and his QUALITY description. [spoiler=MIKE ALIAS, OR IS IT ATLAS?] also, I like this guy's name, so I go for it. apparently he used to be in WCW, which is weird. [spoiler=LASH THE VASH LEROUX] then I look at a couple of slightly-less-scrubby people. [spoiler=DUDE WITH MOHAWK] [spoiler=DUDE WITH BESBAW MASK] then I go to sign a ref. [spoiler=THE BARBERNATOR] and an announcer, too. [spoiler=this guy] and a commentator. [spoiler=BIG SCARY BLACK MAN COMMENTATOR.] and a road agent. [spoiler=A GUY I'VE NEVER HEARD OF.] okay, now to wait a few days and get some shit back from these guys. ooh, but before I do: [spoiler=THE TITLE TO END ALL TITLES] and now we wait. and probably go broke waiting. alas. wheeeee. I regret this already.
