If anyone hasn't noticed, I pretty much put my Wrestlecrap on hold since ther eis just WAY too much too do with a 180+ person roster.

For now, I'm trying to get togther ideas for feuds, with the only one in mind right now is a Sting/Horsemen feud obviously, but first I need to have Flair and Company turn heel for it to work.

UseTheSledgehammerUh · December 4, 2003

Here's a few ideas for angles & feuds:

Drop the U.S. Tag Titles, immediately. Add the Light Heavyweight Title.

WarGames!! Did WCW even do one of these in 1990?

NO ROBOCOP!!!!

Don't let the Midnights break up, or I'll come and find you.

DO have the York Foundation start early.

Uhhh....

Fire JYD. Us Flair fans go back in history and see all of Flair's PPV/Clash results and see this:

"Junkyard Dog defeated Ric Flair by DQ" at a Clash.

That sickens me.

Pillman, Zenk, R & Rs, Midnights, countless others, Light Heavyweight Title. The 1990-93 era never got its just due.

Sign Scott Anthony (Flamingo) from GWF early.

Do the Black Scorpion angle! I liked it. Then again, I like everything. Without it, we wouldn't get Paul E at Havoc 1990's line:

"What? That can't be! The Scorpion...he was there, then he dissapeared, then he was over there!!! That can't be!"

Let go of Tully...he doesn't fit in with 1990 WCW.

ROCK ON, 1990 ruled.

December 4, 2003

Holy Shit, how is Junkard Dog's ass still on my roster....I guess I'll job him out.

Maybe I should do Face Flair v. Heel Sting...nah. Maybe face v. face.

December 4, 2003

WCW WORLDWIDE!!! (January 2nd, 1990)

- To start off the show, the current United States champion, Lex Luger, comes out and calls out the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.

WrestlingDeacon · December 4, 2003

After the Horseman turn on Sting, have him form his own stable to combat them that features Tully Blanchard. C'mon who knows the Horsemen better? Steamboat, Pillman and Funk would be good for that stable too.

To replace Sting in the Horsemen, I'd turn Luger or bring in Barry Windham, Rick Rude or Mr. Perfect.

I like the US tag belts and you certainly have enough teams to make that work.

For feuds I'd go with:

Dynamite Kid vs. Pillman

Steiners vs. Varsity Club

Rock 'n Roll or LOD vs. Andersons

Freebirds vs. Midnight Express (doesn't really matter who are the faces there)

Muta and Dragonmaster vs. Dynamic Dudes

Vader vs. Luger (if you don't turn him)

Sting vs. Flair

Steamboat vs. 4th Horsemen

Dump you bottom feeding singles jobbers, you can use the tag jobbers for singles cannon fodder too.

I'd have Heyman buy out J-Tex from Hart and form a mass ass kicking stable with the SST. Just a stable of foreign heels and they can feud with your mid-card faces, crush them and then go on to feud with Sting's stable.

At the end of the Horsemen vs. Sting feud, you can have the 4th Horsemen turn face and feud with Flair, which would rock if you do bring in Rude, Perfect or Windham. You could try to poise Muta as challenger for the belt, as he and Sting always had good matches or use Funk or Vader as a stop gap until you build up another heel.

where can I download this 1990 scenario? and when i get it, how do i get it to work in the game?

December 8, 2003

Have Shane Douglas turn heel on Johnny Ace.

And if you're doing the Black Scorpion angle, make it someone besides Flair and don't give him supernatural powers. Rick Rude might be a good pick.

Or, you could have Rude and Hennig start calling themselves the Minnesota Wrecking Crew (Arn and Ole's old team name)and have them face the Andersons.

WrestlingDeacon · December 8, 2003

In reality they wanted the Ultimate Warrior to be the Scorpion. They also considered the Angel of Death who was under cotract to them at the time, but nobody would know who the hell he was.

Zack Malibu · December 8, 2003

What's with the Yuna-esque sig, Zack?

They're O.C. icons, showing support for my new fave show (and one of the best on TV). Only reason I've got these is because I haven't found a suitable cast pic that isn't too big for my sig.

December 9, 2003

This is only 2.0 (because for some reason I can't find any sites with any 4.0 scenarios) so I have to make due with the old process.

I already had a Scorpion in mind, but Sting got pissed about it, so I'm going to have to change my decision and go with someone else....and no it's not Flair!

December 13, 2003

Quick Note: In case of a rating being like **1, the "1/2" is for some reason cut off, and I did not notice the error at first, so from now on, it will be fixed...hopefully.

Wasn't Dynamite Kid crippled by around this time, or unable to wrestle? Or when did he officially retire?

I really don't know (probably around 92 I'd guess), but since he's in the scenario as an unsigned talent, I'm guessing he wasn't crippled yet.
