MRDRHAWK Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited July 28, 2014 by Candeloro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrhesia Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 This cannot possibly end badly. I'm a fan of the guy who is all of the greatest athletes in their sports, plus apparently David Beckham.

Tryhard Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) poly, you are ridiculous. A+/5 I didn't even know wrestling management games existed, the most I've ever played was the old WWE games like Smackdown vs RAW i have a very basic knowledge of wrasslin' but I'll try to keep up some of these pictures, though Edited July 28, 2014 by Tryhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRDRHAWK Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 This cannot possibly end badly. I'm a fan of the guy who is all of the greatest athletes in their sports, plus apparently David Beckham. Also petitioning for '200%' to be replaced by 420% it's already awful, save yourself yeah he has some popularity in CANADA already so he may be a worthy long-term investment considering it but prolly not maybe if I rebrand the fed poly, you are ridiculous. A+/5 I didn't even know wrestling management games existed, the most I've ever played was the old WWE games like Smackdown vs RAW i have a very basic knowledge of wrasslin' but I'll try to keep up some of these pictures, though that amazing grade doe yeah there's ones all the way up to 2013 but THOSE AREN'T FREEWARE so I'm only playing 2005 there's also EWR which is a bit clunkier imo and more restrictive but w/e yeah puush sucks but whatever it makes updates faster to not have to resize shit beforehand also UPDATE: A BUNCH OF SIGNINGS HAPPENED [spoiler=NOW FEATURING A BLACK GUY WHO THINKS HE'S EGYPTIAN] I'm still waiting on TWEEK, the super-athlete and the road agent but PROGRESS IS MADE next full update: PROBABLY AN ACTUAL SHOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
