SVR 2011 bullshittin thread

[TheOneBigWill]

So, the lead-up to Summerslam was pretty good overall. I finally got the Main Event scene figured out; here are some notes from the month.

RAW notes:

Triple H. opened the card the following night from NoC and Miz ran out and attacked him, during his match with Slater. HBK then came from the crowd, and fought off Miz, allowing HHH to win. ~ Later that night, HBK and Miz faced off in the Main Event; Miz won, then ended the show by beating down HBK even more.

The Corre (who's on RAW) did the numbers game attacks on Kevin Nash. (Slater/Gabriel) Until Syxx made the save! (why not Hall, I don't fully know, maybe he was drunk, who knows) So through the month leading to Summerslam - we had Corre v. Wolfpac matches.

Wade Barrett (alone, for some reason) has laid out Tyler Black 3 straight weeks, leading into Summerslam. He's won easily because of this, and Black has yet to have an actual match that hasn't began with him getting clotheslined from behind before the bell rings.

Sheamus beat R-Truth to become the #1 contender to Bryan's US title. (that feud is getting old to me already)

The cpu wanted Cena to be the #1 contender, even though Miz beat him in a Cage match. (lame)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Smackdown notes:

The first week after NoC, the opening match was Kane v. Chavo w/ Jeff Hardy. Punk shows up with a ticket in hand, even though he's in the 2nd to last Main Event to crown a #1 contender. wtf Kane chokeslams Chavo, only for Primo to rush out from the back (Chavo's partner) and Hardy to constantly get the officials attention. Kane won after tons of time was wasted fucking everyone up. Punk did nothing??

So, jumping to the #1 contender's match; it's a Triple Threat! Jack Swagger v. CM Punk v. the Undertaker. Winner faces Sting at Summerslam. Before the match it was announced it was made a NO DQ match. During the match, Punk hit a GTS on Swagger - only for KANE to come out (pyro and all) and chokeslam all THREE individuals in the match. Punk was done first, he woke up first, and pinned Swagger because of it; becoming the #1 contender. (I marked out for Kane's mid-match intro)

Sting in the Main Event was attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre. This started their match, in which Sting won in the end.

A week later, McIntyre would face Big Show - only for Sting to come out and attack McIntyre and pay him back, I guess. I loved that Sting just randomly jumped into a feud with McIntyre though.

Wolfpac (on RAW, but competing on SD for some reason) beat Morrison & Truth to become #1 contenders to the Tag titles. (makes sense, since the Corre had a feud going with them on Raw)

Final show before Summerslam - McIntyre gets a pinfall victory over Sting, in a NO DQ match, after hitting a low blow. Somehow this jumps him into the #1 contender's spot for the IC title, even though Christian had already won a #1 contender's match for a shot at the belt a week or two before this.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Summerslam notes:

Sheamus v. Bryan opened the show. Sheamus attacked Bryan before the bell, and won the US Championship easily after hitting the High Cross.

McIntyre won the IC title from Austin Aries - which could lead to a Champion v. Champion match at the next ppv (HIAC).

before the Tag title match - The Corre jumped Nash & Syxx, leading to a brawl before the bell. Nash jackknifed Gabriel through the announce table, then proceeded to bust him open with a chair. Somehow 2 chair shots were fine, but the 3rd caused the official to call for a bell that never sounded to begin with - so the Corre won via DQ

Because "I" wanted Miz v. HHH for the title, and kept pushing for Miz to become #1 contender - but the cpu wanted him to feud with HBK, and Cena to become #1 contender; somehow another Scramble match was made. HHH (c) v. HBK v. Miz v. Cena v. Jericho. I have no clue why Jericho, but during the match - HHH (and later, Miz) used sledgehammer shots on Jericho and busted him open pretty badly. The match ended with Miz hitting a SCF but time expiring before he could get the 3-count on HHH.

Sting v. Punk would somehow be made into an Inferno match (obviously TNA officials are running my shit now, and this pisses me off that I couldn't just make it a single's match) the only plus is.. Sting won, Punk got burned and in the cut scene - it shows Punk's tights, AND FACE getting burned. I can now use the Punk/mask attire and play on a "he got burned bad" storyline. YES!!

I'm now onto the month of Sept. and Hell in a Cell. The opening card for Raw has Cena v. Miz in a #1 contender's match - I can tell you right fucking now, Miz is winning. Miz v. HHH will be made for HIAC.

 

[ThUnDeRpHoEnIx]

my raws fucked after i gave up on it so i mainly focus on sd now.

WM is gonna be a crazy main event.Fatal 4 wat TLC between The Rock,Sting,Stone Cold and my CAW for Stings WHC.

 

[J-Dogg]

Finally finished my 5 month in my created story.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

So, some quick notes on my Universe story..

RAW:

Miz regained his Championship from HHH at HIAC. He then would not be featured in a match (AT ALL) until Bragging Rights. Good stuff. The following night, from HIAC, two major things happened.

First - following their HIAC victory over Slater and Gabriel - Syxx faced Slater in a one-on-one match, only for Scott Hall to return; and TURN on Syxx!! *mark out moment* In the same night, Kevin Nash won a Fatal Four Way Main Event against Edge, HHH and Sheamus. Miz attacked Nash directly following the win.

In the following weeks, I had 2 #1 contender's matches - both of which, Miz interfered with. The first was Cena v. HHH v. Nash; and even though Nash won, apparently "no contender was named". The 3rd week Nash v. HHH happened, only for Scott Hall to once again show up and TURN on Kevin Nash!! (again, I marked out)

In the final week - Nash v. Cena, in a #1 contender's match, ended with Miz interfering and attacking Triple H; which allowed Nash to win and become the #1 contender for Bragging Rights.

Nothing else of interest happened, and the mid-card has turned to shit more or less. I have to work with it, because Miz as Heavyweight Champion AND with Jericho trying to win the Tag titles is not working for me.

SMACKDOWN:

Now, while Raw may only feature 2-3 stories, Smackdown has more.

Firstly, the most important storyline is Punk (who is still recovering from massive burns on his face - which he's forced to wear a mask because of) is still feuding with Sting. In the 1st week following his HIAC loss to Sting, He was given one final chance to win a #1 contender spot.. against Drew McIntyre (IC Champ) in a ladder match.

Punk won the ladder match, after Swagger interfered and attacked McIntyre. This started a Swagger/McIntyre feud leading into Bragging Rights, even though they ended up on Team SD somehow.

So, Punk will face Sting, one final time, for the Championship. (I've decided this will be his last chance until either Sting loses the title, or Punk possibly wins the Rumble)

Now, as far as other storylines - Kofi Kingston has been fighting Chavo & Primo (my new tag team, and the new Los Boricuas) in handicap matches. Until the 3rd week of the month, when Kofi revealed a mystery partner - SHAD!! - who promptly turned on Kofi, and sided with the Los Boricuas. Great stuff. lol
-------------

Bragging Rights line-up is..

Scott Hall v. Syxx
Raw/SD match: Diva's Champion/#1 contender v. Women's Champion/#1 contender
Tag Titles: The Corre (c) v. Morrison & Truth
World Title: Sting (c) v. CM Punk
Raw/SD 6-man match: Undertaker, Swagger & McIntyre v. Triple H, HBK & Sheamus
WWE Title: Miz (c) v. Kevin Nash

 

[JGlass]

OH SHIT! OH SHIT! OH SHIT! This literally JUST happened. I paused the game because I had to share this.

So it's Extreme Rules, Cena vs. Angle in a tables match. Just for shits and giggles I (John Cena) threw the steel ring steps into the ring. A few moments later Kurt Angle hits an exploder suplex and tosses Cena back first across the front of the stairs. Cena's spine literally made contact with the fucking steps. It was absolutely one of the most brutal spots I've ever seen. Totally accidental too.

If that happened in a real match, it would be game fucking over. Possibly a career ender the way Angle just threw Cena against the steps without anything for Cena to absorb the impact with except his spine.

Holy shit.

 

[red ass skull muhfukkah]

Did you win the match JGlass? The tables stipulation probably killed the realism, you probably had to fight him for like 10 more minutes. Those bastards never wanna go through those tables, I hate playing tables matches.

 

[JGlass]

Really? I can put guys through tables fairly easily. After that happened it only took me about 5 more minutes to put him through a table... or two tables I should say. I got him with a vertical suplex.

It's actually the second best tables match I've ever had. The best one was between Zack Ryder and Sheamus and it was amazing. Zack Ryder got close to putting Sheamus through a table twice, but they collapsed before Sheamus went through. Both guys were really badly beaten, but Sheamus managed to daze Ryder right in front of a table propped up against the corner turnbuckle. Sheamus picked up Ryder for a backbreaker that would have inevitably put Ryder through the table, but Ryder reversed it into a reverse STO and put Sheamus face first through the table. It was nothing short of epic.

 

[TSG]

How do you guys have these epic matches and storylines?

 

[JGlass]

Skill and creativity brother. It's mostly just imagination on the storyline end, just take a couple of guys you'd like to see in a feud together and give them something to feud about. On the match end, it's all about the skills to pay the bills. Find the right setting for the AI so that you get a chance and start getting creative in the ring. It helps if you know the moveset of the wrestler you're using too. That way you can try to use some ring psychology in addition to just pulling off the cool moves.

How do you create feuds over certain things in Universe Mode?

This reminds me of a TLC match between My CAW and the Rock.We were both on a ladder and Rock hits the Rock Bottom out of the ring and onto steel steps the I irish whipped and then hit the Rock with earlier.Then I manage to get up and get to Rocky before he pulls the title down and get him groggy.I got to do my sunset flip powerbomb and he counters into a Samoan Drop that goes through a table.That match was brutal almost as much as my 38 minute TLC match against Shelton Benjamin with my CAW for the IC title.

 

[JGlass]

What do you mean feud over things? What types of things? If you want two guys to feud over a championship you simply make them enemies and make one of them the champ and the other one the number one contender. If you want them to feud over, say, Layla's "managerial services," you can have Layla be in one guy's corner one week, the other guy's corner the other week, and then at the PPV have whoever wins get her services for however long you want. If you want them to feud over a spot in a Japanese Shampoo commercial, use your imagination. If you want to take it to the next level, create a CAW version of the loser with their head shaved.

I'm almost finished with Extreme Rules, and it turned out to be one dandy of a card.

Show opens with Jericho (c) vs. Steamboat for the IC Title. Steamboat won a match against Flair the night before on Smackdown for the title shot, making it a face vs face match between two fan favorites. Pretty straight forward match, Jericho dominates for almost the entire match, but Steamboat manages to survive two Codebreakers before finally submitting to the Walls. Jericho retains.

Next we have Lou Thesz (c) vs. Buddy Rogers for the United States Championship. Buddy Rogers starts the match off strong, but Thesz soon comes back and using his dominating strength to do what he pleases with Rogers. Rogers makes a small comeback, but it's only a matter of time before Thesz hits him with a bridging belly to back suplex, which would have inevitably ended the match had Rogers not reached the ropes! These beats on Rogers for a while longer before he locks Rogers into a Abdominal Strain submission and forces rogers to tap. Thesz retains.

Third match is Edge and Christian vs. Big Show and Kane (c) for the Tag Straps. Edge and Christian are on their way to the ring when the two largest members of The Invaders sneak attack them from behind. Big Show starts to whale on Edge with some headbutts and even a powerbomb, but Edge soon turns things around when he hits a back body drop on Big Show, an Edge-O-Matic, and a few other big moves, all on the steel entrance ramp! Big Show scurries to the ring and tags in a fresh Kane who puts a little bit of a beating on Edge before Christian is tagged in. Christian doesn't fair much better again The Big Red Machine, and soon finds himself on the losing end of a chokeslam. However, he manages to escape Kane's pin attempt and he tags Edge back in who runs all over Kane. Kane tags back in Big Show, but Show doesn't fair much better against Edge. Show quickly tags Kane back in, but Kane hops out of the ring before Edge can get his hands on him. Edge uses this chance to beat on Big Show some more, but Kane grabs the ring bell and uses it to clock Edge. Edge and Christian win by DQ, but Kane and Big Show retain the titles.

The fourth match sees Cena (c) face off against Angle in a tables match for the WWE Championship. Cena starts off with the early advantage hitting a lot of strikes and some powerful grapples, but Angle quickly turns it around and hits Cena with a variety of suplexes and other wrestling maneuvers. Kurt decides to take the fight outside the ring, but it's to no avail when Cena Irish Whips him into the ring steps. Cena then starts hitting Angle with a table, and Angle runs back into the ring to avoid further pain. Cena picks up the steel ring steps and throws them into the ring, hoping to use them for some offense against Kurt. However, the ring steps know no master, and Kurt hits a huge exploder suplex on Cena, throwing him onto the sharp edges of the ring steps spine first. Ouch! Angle has control now, and he tosses Cena back to the outside of the ring. Cena gets up and quickly heats up with a few big moves, and then AAs Angle on the mats outside of the ring. He tosses Angle back into the ring and even hits a suplex of his own onto the ring steps. Cena stacks two tables high, but while he's doing this Angle takes the advantage by hitting some strikes. Cena quickly turns the tide his own way and hits a big vertical suplex, sending Kurt through not one, but two tables. Cena retains.

Dx faces off with Miz and Lex Luger in a grudge match for match number 5 of the night. Not much to say about this except that Miz got KILLED by Dx. He started the match against Triple H and got Pedigreed, got a SCM from HBK. He lingered on for a while (without tagging in Lex for whatever reason), but soon Lex got pissed off and he punched Miz's lights out before taking the Lex Express straight up the entrance ramp and back to the locker room. Miz ate ANOTHER Sweet Chin Music, and somehow managed to kick out of the pin despite being hit with two SCMs and a Pedigree. HBK tags Triple H back in, and Trips Pedigrees Miz again and gets the win.

The last match is going to be Taker (c) vs. Goldberg vs. Hulk Hogan vs. The Rock in a ladder matc for the World Heavyweight Championship. I haven't had the match yet so I have no specifics, but I plan on having Goldberg win.

It's become obvious through typing this that all faces won (unless you count the tag title match where the faces won but didn't get the titles), but it all helps further the storylines.

Feuds for the next PPV are going to include...

Jake Fury (CAW) vs. Randy Savage. Their tag team recently broke up.
Sting vs. Cactus Jack/Mankind/Mick Foley
Ric Flair vs. Chris Jericho
Cena vs. Angle vs. CM Punk (with a special appearance by Stone Cold Steve Austin)
Goldberg vs. Hulk Hogan
Zack Ryder vs. Terry Funk

 

[J-Dogg]

JGlass is that in Universe Mode where all those feuds are for you? also my created storyline is going awesome.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Bragging Rights line-up is..

Scott Hall v. Syxx
Raw/SD match: Diva's Champion/#1 contender v. Women's Champion/#1 contender
Tag Titles: The Corre (c) v. Morrison & Truth
World Title: Sting (c) v. CM Punk
Raw/SD 6-man match: Undertaker, Swagger & McIntyre v. Triple H, HBK & Sheamus
WWE Title: Miz (c) v. Kevin Nash

So, the results are as follows..

1. Syxx d. Scott Hall - gaining revenge for him turning on the Wolfpac.

2. Michelle McCool & Angelina Love d. Eve & Natalya - Angelina was then somehow stripped of her #1 contender's status.

3. The Corre d. Morrison & Truth - no story, M&T are pissing me off though because they don't fucking move down after losing. They've remained the top contenders for like 5 months straight.

4. World Title: Sting d. CM Punk - MOTN!! Drew McIntyre interfered and cost Punk the match.

5. Team RAW (HHH, HBK, Sheamus) d. Team SD (Taker, Swagger, McIntyre) - McIntyre and Swagger jumped DX before the match. This lead to McIntyre easily getting HHH eliminated after the Scot-drop, only to get himself DQ'd when he's caught using a chair on HBK's head. Swagger then comes in, only to get himself DQ'd (as well) by busting HBK's head open with the same chair. This left it as Taker v. HBK & Sheamus. Taker hits a Tombstone on Sheamus, but HBK makes the save - Sheamus tags out, then SWERVES!!! HBK by waving him off and leaving him laying in the ring. (I marked the fuck out that he walked out on his team here) HBK did his nip up, and somehow I no longer had control of Taker - whom got SCM as HBK scored the final pinfall of the match.

6. WWE Title: Kevin Nash d. the Miz to become the WWE Champion! Miz attacked Nash before the match, and even attempted a SCF, but Nash was able to reverse it and ultimately (in less than a minute) nail a Jack-knife and pick up the title.
------------------------------------------------

Storylines I'm going to work with from this..

1.) Beer Money will challenge the #1 tag contenders (Truth & Morrison) to a best of 7 series - or until they become the new contenders, because this is fucking bullshit.

2.) Sheamus and HBK are clearly due a feud, especially since he walked the fuck out on his team. Oh, Sheamus is US Champ - but I doubt I'll have HBK feud for the title.

3.) Punk will no doubt be pissed that McIntyre cost him his "last chance" at the Heavyweight title, furthermore - Swagger and McIntyre still had an issue between them that needs settled. Finally, the Undertaker will factor in SOMEWHERE to tease a Sting/Taker match.

4.) Nash as Champion - really? I was kinda excited to see it happen, but I'm unsure now. Unknown where we'll go from here, this may be one I allow the cpu to determine.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Feuds for the next PPV are going to include...

Jake Fury (CAW) vs. Randy Savage. Their tag team recently broke up.
Sting vs. Cactus Jack/Mankind/Mick Foley
Ric Flair vs. Chris Jericho
Cena vs. Angle vs. CM Punk (with a special appearance by Stone Cold Steve Austin)
Goldberg vs. Hulk Hogan
Zack Ryder vs. Terry Funk

JGlass just wanted to give you a head's up, I loved your Angle/Cena story - and I'll try to keep up with updates from your stories - why is Zack Ryder getting pushed against Funk though? What are the back-stories to the feuds? Who're your current Champions as well?

 

[TheOneBigWill]

How do you guys have these epic matches and storylines?

One part imagination, one part luck. For me, the cpu put together my greatest feud so far. (Punk v. Sting)

Basically put, Sting won the World title and Punk was a top contender at the time. Undertaker was THE #1 contender but I didn't wanna blow that feud instantly, so I allowed Punk to win and become the new contender. Sting/Punk faced off at Summerslam, and somehow the cpu determined it should be an inferno match.

If I would've changed it, it would've switched from a title match to a regular match - so I kept it, and worked with it. Punk lost (ie. got burnt) and in the cut scene it showed the typical loser being burned - So since Punk has an alt. (Mask) attire, I've been imagining/playing with the storyline that Punk's face was burned so badly that he is forced to wear the mask.

Since then, Punk has wanted revenge, so a feud that ultimately started in their first single's match at Summerslam (in Aug.) has lasted until Bragging Rights (in Oct.) It's also included McIntyre and Swagger randomly, but mainly Sting and Punk continue to find ways into attacking each other and fighting.

How do you create feuds over certain things in Universe Mode?

If you want a CAW to be in the running for any Championship - you have to work him in multiple matches against the other guys in those rankings. (start at the bottom and work your way up, you can't just have them defeat the Champion and instantly jump into the #1 contender's spot - I don't think. If you can, someone tell me so I can quit wasting Superstars on the same person per 3 matches a night. )

 

[JGlass]

Glad to see you give me some feedback Will, because I was just about to give you some!

Fury and Savage were a tag team that went undefeated for months on end and held onto the tag titles for the better part of the year, defending them at every PPV before dropping them at Backlash. They've been slowly disintegrating ever since and Savage finally snapped when he jumped Fury backstage.

Sting was supposed to just have a friendly match with Mick Foley, but Mick Foley didn't come to the ring. Instead, it was Cactus Jack! And true to Cactus Jack's nature, he decided to use some illegal weapons to make his point. Foley temporarily put Sting out of commission and has been going crazy all over RAW with his multiple personas.

Cena vs. Angle is pretty simple. Cena is the champ and Angle debuted by beating Lou Thesz and challenging Cena for the championship. Bret Hart had just waived his #1 Contenders spot so he could fight Sheamus for taking out Davey Boy Smith and assaulting Natalya (I still need to work these guys onto a PPV), so he accepted Angle's challenge.

CM Punk and Stone Cold stems from one major difference: Stone Cold likes his beer and CM Punk does not. They had a match and Stone Cold went all 1997 on Punk's ass and busted a steel chair over Punk's head even though it wasn't a No DQ match. Punk has been trying to get the better of Stone Cold ever since though various tactics, but to no avail.

Zack Ryder (face) just got moved to Smackdown and he was looking to make an impact, so he challenged Funk (heel) to a match and lost in a REALLY close one. He's been working his way back up to Funk, who refuses to accept Ryder's challenge until he's proven himself, ever since.

As for Flair/Jericho and Goldberg/Hogan, I'll cover that later. It's part of my biggest storyline going on right now.

My current Champions are...
WWE- John Cena (face)
World Heavyweight- Undertaker (Heel), though it'll soon be Goldberg (face)
US- Lou Thesz (face)
IC- Jericho (face)
Tag Team- Big Show and Kane (heel)
Cruiserweight- Daniel Bryan (heel)

Daniel Bryan defends the cruiserweight title on a regular basis in battle royals, but he has a bit of a running feud with Kofi. I also have the one major faction, The Invaders, and they're made up of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Big Show, Kane, and Daniel Bryan. The goal is to eventually put all the belts on them, and then form a rival face faction called The Defenders. Right now, it's looking like the defenders will be composed of Goldberg, Steamboat, Edge, Christian, and Kofi, though it's subject to change. Steamboat, Edge and Christian are really the only ones I'm dead set on as Goldberg could be replaced with The Rock and Kofi could be replaced with Sin Cara, Mysterio, or RVD.

It's a shame that you only get 6 spots at the PPV. I have at least 8 good feuds going on at any given time.

Anyway, back to your Universe...

You could always have Shawn cost Sheamus the belt in a championship match against someone else on the midcard. It would be a good way to solidify Sheamus in the main event as well as give someone you've been struggling to get on RAW some airtime. Might I suggest Santino? (That's only a half joke)

Also, I don't know if there's a reason why you'd want to avoid this, but what about Nash vs. Taker for the World Heavyweight Championship? Two big guys who use an Elevated Powerbomb as a finisher, could definitely be a decent little program until you find someone better to push.

And for your tag team dilemma... I find tag teams to be the most annoying things to push up or down the ranking systems. I usually just put the ones I want in a match with each other and if the challengers win I transfer the belts on them using the My WWE option.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Glad to see you give me some feedback Will, because I was just about to give you some!

No problem man, I rejected the Universe mode because I purely did not want to care for the tons of flaws I could (still) easily point out within it. I was much more in love with Creating my own storylines and I'd still be doing that if it wasn't for the fact I can't use DLC guys if I want to upload them - and point blank, there is little satisfaction if you can't show others all the hard work you put into those stories.

Looks like You & I may be the only two still playing this game though, since this thread truly hasn't been updated by Doc or Norcal on any of their stories recently.

Fury and Savage were a tag team that went undefeated for months on end and held onto the tag titles for the better part of the year, defending them at every PPV before dropping them at Backlash. They've been slowly disintegrating ever since and Savage finally snapped when he jumped Fury backstage.

Sounds like a Hollywood Blondes type storyline. How long do you plan on having their feud go?

Sting was supposed to just have a friendly match with Mick Foley, but Mick Foley didn't come to the ring. Instead, it was Cactus Jack! And true to Cactus Jack's nature, he decided to use some illegal weapons to make his point. Foley temporarily put Sting out of commission and has been going crazy all over RAW with his multiple personas.

Ever since Sting (in my story) won the Championship, I have heavily considered bringing in Mick Foley. However, when the cpu pushed Punk and McIntyre (without my help) I enjoyed the unique-ness of that so much, that I went with it. Sting v. Foley also seems like it may only work well in hardcore settings.

Cena vs. Angle is pretty simple. Cena is the champ and Angle debuted by beating Lou Thesz and challenging Cena for the championship. Bret Hart had just waived his #1 Contenders spot so he could fight Sheamus for taking out Davey Boy Smith and assaulting Natalya (I still need to work these guys onto a PPV), so he accepted Angle's challenge.

I admire you for being able to use guys like Thesz and Hart, in wrestling ways - because I was never able to do that for the most part. Now, allow me to explain slightly..

If a wrestler has passed away (Benoit, Guerrero, Umaga) I just can not find a way to continue using them in a story. It just doesn't feel right, for some reason.

Now with guys who've retired, or moved on (Thesz, Hart) while I wouldn't use Thesz mainly because I don't know him enough to think he'd be worthy in my stories - Hart will get, perhaps, a final run type of return but nothing long term. I will, however, still always find a way to use guys like Edge, or Shawn Michaels, or the Undertaker - even though 2 of those 3 are now gone - and the 3rd is likely to be gone before this time next year.

As for your angle (no pun intended) with Cena/Angle, and Hart/Sheamus - I love both. Especially involving Hart's relation. I never thought about bringing Hart in via his relation.

CM Punk and Stone Cold stems from one major difference: Stone Cold likes his beer and CM Punk does not. They had a match and Stone Cold went all 1997 on Punk's ass and busted a steel chair over Punk's head even though it wasn't a No DQ match. Punk has been trying to get the better of Stone Cold ever since though various tactics, but to no avail.

Steve Austin is another guy I'll likely NEVER use - for the simple fact that, personally, the guy is overrated beyond anything to me and it enrages me when people give him love for nothing more than attacking authority figures, swearing and drinking beer. I get he's slightly more than that, but to me the guy has and always will be shit. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy some of his matches - and his DVD retrospective is great - but I'll just never use him.

I do like where you're going with this storyline though. In a tie-in for something I was working on. Punk (straight edge) was going to feud with Edge (Rated R) for the simple fact that Edge stands for everything Punk is against. I also think those two could have a 4-6 month type of feud. (Mania-Summerslam.)

Zack Ryder (face) just got moved to Smackdown and he was looking to make an impact, so he challenged Funk (heel) to a match and lost in a REALLY close one. He's been working his way back up to Funk, who refuses to accept Ryder's challenge until he's proven himself, ever since.

I like it. Just like I've mentioned earlier, I'm unsure if I'd ever be able to use Terry Funk in a mainstream way - but I like how Ryder is being built up into a solid character who's trying to gain the respect of a legend.

As for Flair/Jericho and Goldberg/Hogan, I'll cover that later. It's part of my biggest storyline going on right now.

I'll be waiting.

My current Champions are...
WWE- John Cena (face)
World Heavyweight- Undertaker (Heel), though it'll soon be Goldberg (face)
US- Lou Thesz (face)
IC- Jericho (face)
Tag Team- Big Show and Kane (heel)
Cruiserweight- Daniel Bryan (heel)

Mine are..

WWE - Kevin Nash
World - Sting
US - Sheamus
IC - Drew McIntyre
Tag Team - The Corre (Slater/Gabriel)
Diva's/Women's - honestly have no clue - I sim them.

I never thought to bring in the Cruiserweight title, or the Million Dollar title. That's a great idea though.

Daniel Bryan defends the cruiserweight title on a regular basis in battle royals, but he has a bit of a running feud with Kofi. I also have the one major faction, The Invaders, and they're made up of Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Big Show, Kane, and Daniel Bryan. The goal is to eventually put all the belts on them, and then form a rival face faction called The Defenders. Right now, it's looking like the defenders will be composed of Goldberg, Steamboat, Edge, Christian, and Kofi, though it's subject to change. Steamboat, Edge and Christian are really the only ones I'm dead set on as Goldberg could be replaced with The Rock and Kofi could be replaced with Sin Cara, Mysterio, or RVD.

I'm assuming you use Superstars to promote Bryan and the Cruiserweight battle royal's. I use Superstars to move CAWs onto ranking systems - hopefully.

I like the faction war you have brewing. At some point, I'll likely begin building a big one, but for now I only have, like 2-3 different small factions..

Raw:
The Corre - Wade Barrett, Justin Gabriel, Heath Slater
Fortune - AJ Styles, Husky Harris & Michael McGillicutty (looking for a 4th)

It's a shame that you only get 6 spots at the PPV. I have at least 8 good feuds going on at any given time.

I agree. I normally remove the Diva's spots for any non-title feuds I have, but for some reason at my Bragging Rights ppv - Orton/Ryder was an original opening match that I turned into Hall/Syxx for their feud.

Anyway, back to your Universe...

You could always have Shawn cost Sheamus the belt in a championship match against someone else on the midcard. It would be a good way to solidify Sheamus in the main event as well as give someone you've been struggling to get on RAW some airtime. Might I suggest Santino? (That's only a half joke)

It's funny you mention this, because I'm up to my Survivor Series and the build-up to that has shown Sheamus v. HHH in a #1 contender's match to Nash's title, in which HBK interfered and cost Sheamus the match. This lead to Sheamus v. HBK in a non-title match, in which Sheamus laid HBK out before the bell and won easily. Which will culminate at Survivor Series in a 6-man Survivor Series elimination match. Team Sheamus v. Team HBK.

As for Sheamus' title, I'm trying (like crazy hard) to push Tyler Black up into the rankings and become the next top challenger. Black had two randomly placed cpu matches against Barrett, and both times - Barrett attacked him from behind and won within seconds. Now I'm pushing Black on Superstars against the guys in the US rankings.

Also, I don't know if there's a reason why you'd want to avoid this, but what about Nash vs. Taker for the World Heavyweight Championship? Two big guys who use an Elevated Powerbomb as a finisher, could definitely be a decent little program until you find someone better to push.

Triple H. v. Kevin Nash at Survivor Series is likely where Nash drops the title, because the next ppv is TLC and because of that - I don't want Nash anywhere near a gimmick ladder, table or TLC match. HHH v. Miz, or HHH v. Sheamus/HBK/or Cena could be a better choice for that show in a gimmick style match.

The Undertaker is on Smackdown, as well. Nash is on Raw.

And for your tag team dilemma... I find tag teams to be the most annoying things to push up or down the ranking systems. I usually just put the ones I want in a match with each other and if the challengers win I transfer the belts on them using the My WWE option.

That's how I did it for the Corre against Morrison & Truth, and I discovered that Morrison & Truth refused to leave the #1 contender's spot, even if they lost to other teams. So now I'm building up teams like Beer Money (current #1 contender's, FINALLY!), Team 3D, MVP & Henry, and the Hart Dynasty.

I have also hot-shotted the US title to Daniel Bryan via a regular victory over Sheamus (months ago), but Sheamus never left the #1 contender spot. So that's why I'm trying to just push whoever like crazy on Superstars. It worked for Beer Money, but the downside is Robert Roode somehow hot-shotted up the IC rankings to the 2nd spot as well. LMAO No clue how, either.

The HBK/Sheamus feud sounds really well thought out and the magic men who work the WWE Universe Mode seem to agree. I love when the random events in Universe Mode work in your favor.

Punk vs. Edge is a feud that I'm sad never got pushed in real life as I'm sure they could put on a great show. That's a match I'll probably pull the trigger on when I get to year 3 in Universe mode.

Kevin Nash vs. Triple H would obviously be an awesome feud, but having a triple threat between Nash, Trips, and HBK would be epic. Is Nash face or heel? It would also be pretty cool if at a future Survivor Series you made a rival feud made up of the New Kliq, or something like that. I'm thinking Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, and another younger heel.

I think one of the members of the SES needs to be a reluctant follower that Punk forced to join the group, a la John Cena and Nexus. I always wondered what Punk would have used Mysterio for had he managed to beat him at Mania, it's not like Mysterio is a dominant force in the WWE.

And Fortune definitely needs an enforcer of sorts, but who to pick? Batista would be a viable option, though like how you are with Stone Cold, I'm the same way with Batista, refuse to use him. You could also use Vladamir Kozlov for shits and giggles, or you can have Fortune jack Luke Gallows from Punk and SES in some sort of swerve.

I wanted to play it this weekend but then I realized I left it at school I want to send DDP on a tear of positive destruction all through the WWE Universe, and I need to form The Avengers (Captain America and Spider-Man) and push Action Saxton.

The HBK/Sheamus feud sounds really well thought out and the magic men who work the WWE Universe Mode seem to agree. I love when the random events in Universe Mode work in your favor.

What I'm undecided on is if I want the Team's to be consistent of Raw and Smackdown guys or not. Since they're both Raw guys it almost seems irrelevant to use SD guys.

I'm thinking; Team HBK: Shawn Michaels, Syxx, Tyler Black v. Team Sheamus: Sheamus, Scott Hall & Wade Barrett - since those 3 have had contact with each other in recent times.

Punk vs. Edge is a feud that I'm sad never got pushed in real life as I'm sure they could put on a great show. That's a match I'll probably pull the trigger on when I get to year 3 in Universe mode.

I don't know where, or how, I'll work it in since Edge is Raw and Punk is Smackdown, but I'd assume if a Draft were to happen after Mania that'll be when. I also have huge plans for a Hardys/E&C feud..

Heavyweight title - Edge/Jeff Hardy feud
Mid-Card title - Christian/Matt Hardy feud

Culminating at Summerslam, after the Hardys win the Tag Team Championships.. at which point, the Main Event will be a TLC Tag Team contest. Edge & Christian v. the Hardys. Whoever wins from the Hardys, wins their respective title they've been chasing. If either Edge or Christian win, they become Tag Champions.

Kevin Nash vs. Triple H would obviously be an awesome feud, but having a triple threat between Nash, Trips, and HBK would be epic. Is Nash face or heel?

I like the idea of a Kliq Triple Threat, but with HBK wrapped up with Sheamus, and Nash originally not even meant for the Heavyweight title - this is just a short thing for him. Triple H will win the title from Nash at Survivor Series.

Also, Nash & HHH are both faces - unless the Universe deems otherwise before the match.

It would also be pretty cool if at a future Survivor Series you made a rival feud made up of the New Kliq, or something like that. I'm thinking Dolph Ziggler, Cody Rhodes, and another younger heel.

Rhodes & DiBiase are still a tag team, as well, in my universe. Ziggler is trying to be a mid-card Champion, but lost to Kingston in a #1 contender's match recently on Smackdown, leading into Survivor Series.

I think one of the members of the SES needs to be a reluctant follower that Punk forced to join the group, a la John Cena and Nexus. I always wondered what Punk would have used Mysterio for had he managed to beat him at Mania, it's not like Mysterio is a dominant force in the WWE.

I can agree with this. Another idea has been to make it Christian - which will slowly begin an Edge/Punk feud, after Edge gets involved to save his friend and rescue him from being a forced member.

And Fortune definitely needs an enforcer of sorts, but who to pick? Batista would be a viable option, though like how you are with Stone Cold, I'm the same way with Batista, refuse to use him. You could also use Vladamir Kozlov for shits and giggles, or you can have Fortune jack Luke Gallows from Punk and SES in some sort of swerve.

Truthfully, I don't even like AJ being with Husky & Michael, but it happened randomly and it was something I liked at that time. I'm thinking Kozlov or Zeke could be viable options. I truly can not stand Zeke for the plain-ness he has though, so he definitely needs someone to carry him.

Batista, ironically, in my CAS mode was the leader of "Dynasty" which also involved AJ Styles, Rhodes & DiBiase. I have considered bringing that faction back as well.. letting Husky & Michael just go into a tag team. Perhaps a swerve with Husky & Michael being set-up by DiBiase & Rhodes, having Styles turn and then revealing Batista to be the mastermind behind it all. Well, I'm sure a Manager will have to be the mastermind, but you get the overall thought.

I wanted to play it this weekend but then I realized I left it at school I want to send DDP on a tear of positive destruction all through the WWE Universe, and I need to form The Avengers (Captain America and Spider-Man) and push Action Saxton.

I have DDP on my game, but he - along with a ton of other WCW guys - are not being used until I run my WCW Reunion show at some point before Elimination Chamber/Wrestlemania, as a tribute to when WCW died.

Just Finished HIAC.It turned out pretty well.Universe just started up a new feud for the WWE Championship.And I fixed up my RAW after neglecting it for so long.

This is how it went.

Opened with Sheamus vs Chris Masters over the US title.Chris Masters won a #1 Contenders match between him and Jack Swagger after I pushed Masters.It started off with Sheamus dominating but Chris Masters came back and Put the Masterlock on.Sheamus got out but Masters dominated again and won with his new Finisher,The Masterslam(need to get a new name for this)which is an Argentine Rack dropped into a Swinging Argentine Bomb.

This was followed by the 6 man interpromotional million dollar title Battle Royal(pin) between Shelton Benjamin(current Champ) vs Tyson Kidd vs William Regal vs Ted Dibiase vs Yoshi Tatsu vs Goldust.( I use this title to see who should be pushed)

I'm to lazy to post what happened but Ted was out first after a Paydirt,Yoshi went out after Goldusts finisher(whatever it is),Regal went out after Tysons Code Blue,Shelton went out after Being hit with Tysons Shooting Star Elbow Drop Finisher,And Tyson won after a Code Blue on Goldust.

Then it was the IC title match between Christian,RVD and Swagger inside a HIAC.Intresting spots here.RVD went for the 5 star on Christian but hit Swagger instead.Christian Shoulder blocked Swagger of the ropes and into the Cell,which was then proceeded by RVD jumping over the rops into swagger.Swagger German Suplexed Christian into the cell(didn break it like to the side)and then in the closing moments of the match Christian Hit the Killswitch on RVD then got Gutwrench Powerbombed by Swagger who then pinned RVD to win the Gold.

WWE title match on now with an elimination fatal 4 way match(not in a HIAC)Between HHH vs Edge vs Miz vs Goldberg. It was pretty boring untill it was just HHH and Miz and JoMo came out and cost Miz his title by hitting him with the Moonlight Drive so HHH won the title.Next PPV will be Miz vs HHH vs JoMo

WHC match between Sting,Rock,Stone Cold,My Caw(who i didnt want in the match but got put there) in a Fatal 4 way HIAC match.Too lazy to right what happened but Rock won after A peoples Elbow on Stone cold and pinning him while Sting and my caw were laid out after a Chair shot and a Stunner.

Current Champions are

WWE:HHH
WHC:Rock
US:Chris Masters
IC:Swagger
Tag Team:MCMG
Million Dollar:Tyson Kidd

Sounds good TP. That Battle Royale sounds AWESOME, and the Hell in a Cell match sounded sweet too.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

I have just finished Bragging Rights in my Universe mode. Cena has just retained the WWE title, but is set to be challenged soon by Goldberg and Kevin Nash who are climbing the ranks.

The Rock is the new US champion, for some reason he only appears in the US title ranks (same with Austin), and the new challenger for the belt is RVD.

Sean O'Haire claimed the World Heavyweight champion from his former mentor Nathan Reso, after being kicked out of The Revolution after he walked out on Reso during a tag team match (I had never seen this happen before). They clashed in a cage match for the title and O'Haire won after his 2nd Seanton Bomb

Mickie James defeated Tara for the Women's title, so The Revolution lost another title.

Christian successfulluy defended his IC title in a no DQ match against Ken Shamrock. Both men were busted open in a brutal match.

Finally, The Brothers Of Destruction were finally beaten for the tag team titles. The team of RVD & Sabu (who I have been pushing hard) won the titles in a TLC match

^If you finish all your feuds at one PPV then you could put the WWE or WHC on Rock or Stone Cold(whichever)and just sim to each PPV and have them retain for a few months.Then once your ready get them to drop it and they'll be in the rankings for the world titles and you can start your feuds again.You could even just do it for one brand if one brands feuds all end at one ppv.

Matches so far for the next PPV are

Chris Masters vs the Returning Carlito in a US title match.(Hoping for masters to win for to help start up a dominating half yearish US title run)

Armegeddon Hell in a Cell between Rock,Stone Cold,Undertaker,Sting,My Caw and CM Punk for the WHC.Gonna be a long night trying to win.
