That WCW hotline probably made quite a bit of money off people without the internet during 96-98, Their usual tactic was to say "today we have huge news on a major WCW title change in Japan" which was always about either the WCW Women's Championship or Women's Cruiserweight Title(lasted a few months in Japan) which must have pissed off the people who called up.

probably Eugene,La Resistance,Rene Dupree,Luther Reigns,Gail Kim(her submissions will probably have to be changed otherwise she'll be way tougher than the other women) and JBL(left out of the last SD) at least, London,kidman and the FBI are also likely to be included as long as the Holly's and Gunn's of this world are left out. Any things people want in season mode? Personally I'd like to see the Highlight Reel used to advance feuds,Cafe de Rene(the set was cool),Some of the Orton/foley stuff,bits of the JBL/Eddie feud(the El Gran luchadore and the bull rope match as the blow off) Undertaker/Heyman angle(i'd like to see the Concrete crypt used as an option where you'd have 4 minutes to win before heyman pulls the lever and even if you win he does it anyway as a little twist to reality) and the musical chairs thing. The Big Show/Kurt Angle thing will most likely be included since in the last 2 games they've had the nWo/rock ambulance and HBk wheelchair angles which are similar. the Undertaker/Kane angle will also probably have some of it's stuff in Season mode and if the angle is included then i think Undertaker should be a hidden character(like Michaels and Austin where in Smackdown 2) who has to be defeated at Wrestlemania.

Championship: Sunderland(best keeper and midfielder will probably make up for having Kevin Kyle up front),Leicester(Keown is still the best marker in England,Dublin and Connolly looks a good front pair) and Notts Forest(Johnson and the manager will carry them, same exact thing happened with Palace) Relegated: Brighton,Stoke and plymouth League 1: Bristol City(Heffernan and Gillespie will get 15 each),Barnsley(bought wisely) and Tranmere Rovers(brilliant at end of last season) Relegated: Bradford,Brentford,Port Vale and Peterborough(hope not because Barry Fry once said he'd be able to play golf on the City pitch which went down well down here) league 2: Northampton,Mansfield,Yeovil and Wycombe Relegated: Shrewsbury and Darlington next season Nick Barmby and Jason Mcateer(how their careers have died) will have the plaesure of getting marked by the best midfielder outside the prem(Tommy Doherty)

At least we'll be the 1st ever Coca Cola League 1 Champions/play off winners.We're a very special club, any club that can turn Ade Akinbiyi into a 5 million pound player(We sold for 3 million to Wolves and they got 5 million for him in the summer by doing sod all) deserves recognition.On the other hand we spent 2 million on Tony Thorpe,Lee Peacock and Lee Matthews and they left the club without us getting a penny due to Thorpe leaving on a bosman and because we didn't other the other 2 new contracts.

We beat Newport County 4-1 away, here's the "star" list of friendlies which include 2 games against Forest Green in 2 nights, at least I can see us winning all but the Yeovil game. Clevedon 1 Bristol City 9 Kidderminster v Bristol City(canceled for some reason) Yeovil 0 Bristol City 3 Forest Green v Bristol City Forest Green v Bristol City Bristol City v Portsmouth Bristol City v West Brom Edit:Added Clevedon result, read and weep(much tougher than Derby's match )

34.Giving Sting a 1 night Title run when he was the fans choice as champion 35.Treating psychosis as Juvi and Mysterio's bitch 36.Kevin Nash killing Wrath's undefeated streak and making him look Midcard 37.Not capitalising on the pops the Scott Norton/Cat matches were getting 38.Not pushing the West Texas Rednecks when they were over huge 39.Those Sid run ins 40.killing the West Hollywood Blondes angle 41.Letting Rey Mysterio Jr. hold the Cruiserweight title for 5 months in 99 when he hardly ever defended it 42.The way bret hart would turn non stop for a year 43.the way the Giant was used after January 97 44.Putting Sting in the Wolfpac 45.having buff bagwell as a heel after his injury 46.those Eric Bischoff segments during the Jay leno feud where he'd interview guys like Scott Steiner and have fake laughing(can't remember the name of them) 47.Chucky

The Welsh teams(except Cardiff and Wrexham) are crap, they lose to teams from Malta,Lithuania and Luxemburg on a regular basis.

Write in: Monsoon and Piper and Heenan/Piper/Monsoon. I also liked the Savage/Heenan/Ross combination and Heenan/Ross in 93 would have been awesome.

Steiner Brothers vs. Money Inc - Cage Match, August 93 Dustin Rhodes/Ricky Steamboat vs. The Enforcers - Clash of the Champions, November 91 Sting/Ricky Steamboat vs. Rude/Austin Clash of the Champions, January 92 Larry Zbyszko/Steve Austin vs. Barry Windham/Dustin Rhodes - Superbrawl 2 Quebecers vs. Steiner Brothers - September 93 Raw Quebecers vs. 1-2-3 Kid/Jannetty - January 94 Raw Harts vs. Quebecers - Royal Rumble 94 Edit: If Survivor Series matches count then I'll nominate the 5 tag team vs. 5 tag team matches from 87 + 88.

When he was in the Royal Rumble why didn't Hacksaw Jim Duggan bring the 2x4 in with him? same with Bossman and the nightstick.

Storm pinned Brock Lesnar in some house show matches in January 2002.

Trying to figure out the Samoan family tree.

I'd love to see an airplane spin because I'm not sure if thats ever been in a wrestling game,It would be a good setup for a Smackdown Special as well.

Goldberg's problem was the fact that he had no feuds at all and outside of Sting and Bret Hart there were no guys he could believably lose to, the potential for a Goldberg/Giant feud was killed at road Wild in a dumb move. He's one of my favourites but Sting has to be on here, his Starrcade 97 feud was the only time he was ever a draw.Although had he been in the WWF in 1990 and got the Warrior's push I could see Sting drawing pretty well against Perfect and Dibiase.

Austin/Hart

At least you've got a Goalscorer in Yakubu, West Brom,Palace,Blackburn and Man City don't have one and your home form should ensure you stay up comfortably. Middlesbrough now must have the ugliest player in the premiership, I think Michael Reiziger would take Luke Chadwick's place because of the way his mouth sticks out. What's up with Leicester getting David Connolly for £500,000, I hate the bastard(scored 4 goals against us in a 6-1 home defeat against Wolves in 98/99) but surely a West Brom or a Crystal Palace could have bought him.

The interrogation one's the best out of their stuff. Some of the early Ted Dibiase WWF stuff is great, the one where he makes a kid dribble a basketball is the best when you see the look in the kids eyes and Dibiase is laughing at him. A segment with Mr. Fuji and Don Muraco called Fuji Vice on the old Tuesday Night Titans show is awesome and words don't do it justice. I also liked the Eddie/Chavo/Benoit segment in October 2002 where Eddie is trying to make peace with Benoit, when Benoit says nothing Eddie just rants at Benoit with Chavo saying things like "Shame on you" and nodding his head at random moments.

Chyna,Sunny,Torrie Wilson,Trish and Sable have all sold more merchandise(yes I am counting playboy) or been more popular than lita at one time or another(Torrie and Trish still are).

I'd say this is the order of importance for the WWE Markets.5-8 are basically a guess and I picked UK ahead of Japan because even in the desperate years(91-95) they were still popular over here and got good attendances at House Shows and at Summerslam 92. 1.America 2.Canada 3.UK 4.Japan 5.Mexico 6.Other Asian countries 7.Other European countries(Germany,Italy and France) 8.Australia

He was on Sky Sports News as well, the highlight was the presenter talking about who Edge hasn't wrestled but would like to, Edge named the Undertaker and the presenter said "how old is he? he's got to be about 50".Edge also said that he wanted to use his real name in the ring in 98 and was a bit annoyed at having a gimmick name. Edit:Apart from the Undertaker bit it was pretty good, the presenters treated Wrestling with respect.

Randy Orton did the same thing as well in 2002, every week he'd get a different partner to face D'Von and batista and every week they'd lose.

Based on Choken One's card the only singles faces available are Bam Bam Bigelow,Henry O Godwinn and Bob Holly.I think Fatu and Jannetty came back/changed gimmicks in September.

I think Hall won because he was probably the only Upper midcard heel willing to job clean to Sting, personally I'd have had Luger or DDP win so that the Sting/Hogan result wasn't so obvious.

I'll have a go.

I would have used Undertaker/Kama as my shit break match but made it a 5 minute squash before the main event.
