Hello, Doctor Gonzo here.

For the last two days i was trying to remember how EWR was called. When i finally remembered it i downloaded the game with the latest world scenario, June 2019.
The idea is to book a wrestling promotion and see where the game world take us.

Whats EWR



Extreme Warfare Revenge (EWR) was released on June 15, 2002. Now programmed in Visual Basic, the series now took a Windows style interface. One of the most significant changes this game took to the series was the fact that everything on a wrestling event is under the control of the user. In previous games in the series, angles, finishes and (in EWD) interviews were randomly created. This also coincided with the new feud system that was to count the matches, angles and interview victories between the workers involved. The match reports also took a slight change, featuring reviews of the matches from such Internet columnists as Scott Keith instead of a straight play-by-play style. However, the report style would revert to its old style in TEW 2004.

Another major feature that changed the way the game was played was the way the game world was represented. Unlike the previous games in which it was mostly focused on the major promotions such as the WWF, WCW, and ECW the promotion size feature meant many promotions in North America could now be included from the global sized promotions like WWE to the cult sized promotions like ROH to a mere backyard federation.

For the first time i wont get into too much details about every promotion. Once we select one i will

So: first order of business, what promotion will be booking?

The game has a lot of promotions but in this thread you have to choose between
All Elite Wrestling

CMLL

Impact Wrestling

AAA

NJPW

ROH

WWE


The first promotion who get 10 votes will be our company.

This mod has made me exceptionally mad because it has New Japan's only show as NJ on AXS, no love for World Pro Wrestling.

So because of that slight, do AAA and push Los Psycho Circus to the moon.

~Who knows where its at~

I vote for New Japan. I think they have the most interesting scenario to play with.

1) Their US expansion has been struggling, and now they have the red hot AEW with a lot of stars they helped build to contend with as well as WWE, but WWEs internal rot gives them opportunities to acquire nationally recognized US talent that could be complete game changers in that equation, amd that could lead to a full-fledged War to see if either if these upstarts have what it takes to become the new dominate force in North America, or if WWE can right its ship and beat both challengers back. Plus they have to deal with their dissatisfaction with ROH as a US partner. Can they find some way to help that promotion to improve, or shall they cut bait and seek a new partner for their trans-Pacific invasion on the American market?

2) On the home front they are finding a lot of success in their expansion into local markets in Southeast Asia and Australia, but they have to be mindful of WWEs heavy investment via their NXT program into China and the fact that they continue to strip the Australian Indy scene bare at every opportunity. WWE may have problems, but they still have more money than god, and that can make things very difficult as New Japan attempts to maintain its own momentum and revenue to support its American venture since they are eyeing Asia as a potential goldmine. A wrestlemania in Beijing may be closer than anyone thinks, and that could be a huge threat to New Japan's dominace on the Eastern side of the globe, especially if their efforts to break out in North America encourages WWE to try and actively undermine them.

3) Internally New Japan has a big "problem," in that after investing years and years into the creation of an incredible young Ace to lead the company for the next several decades in Okada, and then using him to have the most lucrative and legendary run in their company's history, they've also managed to book previous Ace Tanahashi back into being the most popular man in all of Japanese wrestling AND to maintain the red-hot popularity of ultimate antihero Naito ABOVE that of Okada even without giving him a run on top for nearly a year AND finally secure the long-term commitment of long-persued golden goose Ibushi. How do you use Tanahashi to your advantage when his body is falling apart but your fans are treating him as if he's returned to his prime and should be the Ace again? How do you manage a next-generation Hashimoto/Mutoh/Chono in Ibushi, Okada and Naito to maximize your company's success? How do you continue to build your top Gaijin star Jay White in this overwhelmingly stacked Main Event scene? What about the rising stars of your upper midcard like Sanada, do you feed them to this crop of megastars or give them a chance to join those ranks? How do you use Jon Moxley when hes the hottest act in wrestling but is also tied to AEW, which you may soon be at war with? How do you use KENTA after the damage WWE did to him? How do you use Kenny Omega, or do you use him at all, and how might that affect Ibushi now that you finally have him long term? Is there any chance Shibata, who has become a near mythical figure after his injury, might return to the ring? Your Jrs division is hotter than ever thanks to Ospreay, ZSJ, Shinto, Dragon Lee and others, how do you capitalize in that? Your tag division is struggling, how do you fix that? The Bullet Club brand is waning, can you inject new life into a giant money maker, or do you abandon it for something new? And perhaps most importantly: your coming up on your first ever two day Wrestlekingdom: how do you book such an experimental show?

Yes, New Japan is the one we should tackle.

Doesn't EWR have the Japan touring system instead of Japanese feds so you can sudden;y find yourself without key members of a roster mid-feud?

Yeah, but I don't think you can control who gets selected. It's mainly a problem for a mid-2000s TNA sized company but often people will not sign written contracts if they're listed for tours. I spent so long trying to get CIMA for the X Division but the guy wouldn't sign.

From what I remember, there is a period of time, where a company touring is not active and this allows you to offer contracts to talents with Japan dates which takes them off future lists. It sucks until you get to the first rest period.

yea ok

I don't think I can book. However, I will vote for AEW, to move this thread along.

I have some experience writing these out for a previous thread like this. I can't commit to writing the full show, but if you want to toss matches towards me, I'd be happy to help.

Also, AEW.
