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.

FINAL VOTE



So we will run AEW after all. :regd08:

First day at the office:

This is our company



Right now we dont have sponsors, a development territory or a training camp.

First decisions
Raise the risk level of our promotion?
If yes how much
More risk means more type of matches and segments. But it will make it harder to get sponsors

Raise production values?
Our assistant Sophie tell us that we need to raise the productions values to 70 % ASAP.
These are our options


keep our merchandising/advert budget? Finance dude tells us that our ad budget should increase to 70 %
MERCH: One point equals 200.000 dollars
AD: One point equals 100.000 dollars

OPEN DEVELOPMENT/TRAINING FACILITIES? yes/no

:blastu:For a quick game i will take only 5 votes in every option

Our company looks like this



we wont open development or training for now.



we make 2.480.600 on sponsor money


NOW THE FUN PART

Right now we dont have titles so: WHAT TITLES DO WE ADD?

Our tv show is called tuesday night dynamite. TNT is our network
Announcer is Alex Marvez We keep him? Sign another guy? (for example we could sign CM Punk for this role)
Colour is Jim Ross We keep him? Sign another guy?

Our PPV schedule is this:



Current date is thursday 1, August

ADD EVENT IN AUGUST (yes/no)

Also i need PPV NAMES.


good night, tomorrow we start working on roster, feud and all that and we will pass one day

NOTE: we hired Bishoff as a on screen character
we hired DeJoseph and Kreizmann to the writing team

2) Replace Marvez on commentary, but keep him around as backstage interview guy. If available, get Excalibur.

we have excalibur on a ppa deal he can do colour
cm punk is strickly an announcer he doesnt have a worker file

3) Schedule AEW All Out for the end of August

we already have a tv show, for some weird reason if we add a ppv in august it give us a too soon date, like august 5 or something. i dont know why

Fire JR. Move Marvez to interviewing. Also Hire Foley as an interviewer. Hire Excalibur and Tony schiavone for the booth. If Schiavone is under contract get Michael Schiavello for the booth.

Or Mike Goldberg lol

Having Foley doing interviews with the main event and upper card level talent will help get segments much more over.

Tony schiavone has a verbal contract with MLW doesnt want to start negotiations and has 68 talent

Current title situation


Right now CM PUNK (talent 88) is our announcer and JR (talent 87) will do colour. This could change next day when the others companies fire/hire other staff but right now our ceiling for talent is 90

ROSTER













Our lead writer found the following problems



what we do? Demote the workers? This will lower their morale
Keep the roster as is it right now?

Also as we havent run a tv show yet so we can change our faces/heel composition and or gimmicks without a penalization

I dont know what to do with Sonny and Nyla. I want to fire them.

DoctorGonzo
Jul 25, 2016

by Jeffrey of YOSPOS




These are Nyla and Sonny stats ATM. Their gimmicks arent working and iif i remember EWR you can build them making them win a lot so the attributes catch up with the gimmick requirement. Anyone knows what to do? or would write for their characters. I know i post like a loving moron but its not a representation thing its how their gimmick would work.

Gender bender requires company risk of 70%+
Monster requires the Menacing trait which, if Nyla doesn't have it, IIRC she never will as I don't think you can develop traits in EWR.

right now we are at 69 i raised to 70 and sonny gimmick is ok

she does have that trait, we can feed her better workers to raise her stats

also we are still on day one.

WE NEED FEUDS! ANGLES! TITLES!

Writer Cath, Rarity and Sanguinia could you help me with this? I remember you were great in the old EWR thread i read when i was a lurker.

just rust posted:

I am operating under the assumption every show from May-July will just mirror what happened in the real world since we are starting in August. We are on a time crunch so I wouldn't mind just sticking with the real life plan when it comes to the men's title at All Out. Page vs. Jericho, and we can argue about who should win that and our direction moving forward.

That leaves us with the other three titles. I think the women's tag should be held off for a little bit, maybe a couple of months as we establish teams and alliances in the women's division. For the men's tag we can consider crowning champions or starting the build towards that at least.

For the women's title I like sticking with the tournament, which I think should look like this:

Week 1 TV: 4 First round matches
Week 2 TV: 4 First round matches
Week 3 TV: 4 Quarterfinal matches
All Out: 2 Semifinals matches and the finals to determine the champ
-If there is a 4th week of TV before All Out we can do a tag match involving the ladies in the semifinals.

I'd like to see the final four at All Out be Hikaru Shida vs. Aja Kong (proven good match in the real world) and Britt Baker vs. Kylie Rae (two women who have been a focal point of the company since the beginning.) You could come up with a compelling argument for any of those four to make it to the finals and be the first champ.

We've got Chelsea Green now, and depending on her stats, she should probably be in the conversation for a deep run in the tournament. Awesome Kong has been out of wrestling for a while now and she seemed limited at DoN, but if her stats are good in the game she should also have a deep run.
