Thanks, Just on how to start , man I ain't got a clue.

Let's see stuff about Attitude Era. A good way to start is to see something that you could change and make a big impact. Some ideas maybe

The Brawl For All
Kane's Debut
The Montreal Screwjob
The Invasion

Try writing stuff about it, getting a roster set up, and see if you like it/would continue it. You could also do hypothetical scenarios like what if WCW took over WWF, what if AEW Bought WWE, or what if TNA defeated WWE. There are thousands of more scenarios, but for me, try to find an area where you could make the most impact and go from there. Reviews also go a long way

How could i get wrestlers from then whom I can't remember from bro? I've done some thinking about what you suggested about AEW , got some good ideas and how I'd change some aspects of the roster and ppvs, but I really want to a AE but rembering 23 years ago is a tad much, I can't even remember 23 minutes ago ( joke bro ) I really appreciate you helping me , thanks man.

I used to run one of these back on WF in 2014 (I think)

It was fun, but I was very rough at it. I'm a bit too busy at the moment, but would definitely like to give it a go one day again. It's always fun booking your own shit, and making the guys you want champions (without marking out too much!)

I guess I could give it a go in the coming months when some free time pops up, and people could give me some pointers and what I could do better, shit like that.

Idk, just spitballing

:cozy

For sure, I used to get a bit too carried away in the past heading straight in to making my own champions and shit.

I would make sure it makes sense first. :kobe3

I'd say once you get your time period set, try to wrap up the feuds happening. Like if you do 1997 Summerslam, try to close Bret/Shawn up

If you want a good example of a simple BTB you can do, I highly suggest checking out my Grimpact Zone.

Yeah this is a great idea and one of my pet peeves with BTBs. Unless you have some storyline reason why everything seems to just go up in smoke and change drastically for your first show, it's hard for me to suspend disbelief when I know what was happening prior :lol starting with a brand split or something is always a good move if you really wanna start fresh though

Yeah, and I think the best time to start is to start after a major 4 PPV. If you wanna do somme fantasy bollocks like a giant walk out of WWE, find a reasonable place and reason to do it. If you wanna start a new company, I suggest using people signed to a non major promotion and maybe some people close to end of their contracts

I admit I may have stopped some storylines in NXT Gen, been a while since I've watched 2014 and + draft
