The Rise of the Return of the Beginning of the End of the Bad Wrasslin' Promotion That Should Not Be

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]f2c80af449.jpga410433f5e.jpg

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?]

576772f50e.jpg

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]

9f0b35c0d2.jpg

then I look at a couple of slightly-less-scrubby people.

[spoiler=DUDE WITH MOHAWK]

[spoiler=DUDE WITH BESBAW MASK]

907138e90f.jpg69092cfe65.jpg

then I go to sign a ref.

[spoiler=THE BARBERNATOR]

8c9991099d.jpg

and an announcer, too.

[spoiler=this guy]

eb28d1a999.jpg

and a commentator.

[spoiler=BIG SCARY BLACK MAN COMMENTATOR.]

892344e91c.jpg

and a road agent.

[spoiler=A GUY I'VE NEVER HEARD OF.]

9d48e5a61c.jpg

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.

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%

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

yeah he has some popularity in CANADA already so he may be a worthy long-term investment

considering it but prolly not

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]
