TEW/PWS Wrestling Simulators Discussion

I can offer up like 4 custom characters but one is Christopher McMichaels.

I would start like right at 1980 and have some dying companies for people to try and "save" in their plays but once you time shift forward in the canon for a future release of the game they get merged or just die as the world gets more modern

 

[Chris]

I would love to help fill out some jobbers if you do all the hard work tho

 

[Dirk Dickbutt]

That sounds like a very fun project and I'd look forward to playing it if you do go through it it! I have a large chunk of characters I've considered turning into my own universe and I got some spares you could toss in.

IF I were to get a good amount of the foundation laid, I would definitely open up a thread here to allow users to pitch characters/ideas to help fill things out.

I'm going to take your advice @Chris and go with a 1980 start date. I'm thinking for this universe, I'm going to embrace a "gimmicky" vibe, and especially so in this 1980 world, where many promotions are going to have very on the nose, regionally themed names.

 

[Chris]

Feel free to bounce any ideas off me if you feel like it, I love this stuff but have no motivation to ever attempt.

I actually had a whole idea for a wrestling universe set in the present but there was some beginning lore where one guy used to run the entire North American wrestling business until he was arrested on tax evasion in the 50s, after which, all the big wrestlers started their own companies.

 

[Hoss]

Accepting ideas for a name for an alliance of companies based in the Northwest... small companies based out of Seattle, Portland and Vancouver specifically.

 

[Barry Poppins]

Rocky Wrestling Alliance

Or you can so Pacific Coast Wrestling Association

 

[OMB]

@Hoss

Just ideas for promotions

Disco Night Wrestling (a indy promotion set inside a roller rink with wrestling in middle the promotion is run by B G Knight a former Disco singer that decides to run a sort of campy OTT wrestling company for mom and dads to take the kids out on a Saturday night.


Red River Wrestling (set on Texas & Oklahoma line this company has been Southern Wrestlings apex for many years. The company itself is owned by Colt & Buck McHenry two brothers who have in kayfabe a hatred for each other one resides in Oklahoma the other Texas and they fight for control of company.)


Voodoo Wrestling Alliance (a dark wrestling company set in New Orleans they are wrestling in abandon building, graveyards and other creepy places. They are cashing in on the rise of the Gothic culture in the 80s with dark brooding charchters and extreme violence. They are unable to get on tv atm but have huge cult following. The owner is Alyster Von Lynch a former horror movie director that has been banned in most countries.

Could do one that's based in the Midwest/Canada and call it North Star Wrestling, have it run on either Episodic Entertainment or Comic Book Dark.

I like the name. Was looking to do a company name Great Northern Wrestling, but I think I'll take this suggestion. Why do you suggest these particular products though?

Largely because I think depending on the size it works great for an indy/medium company that's on a streaming platform and pumps out episodes pre-taped. Like Impact or Sinclair era ROH.

Well this is 1980 for what it's worth

Ah gotcha, then in that case for 1980 I'd recommend Respectful Wrestling or Silver Age Pro Wrestling.

Depends if you want it to be a territory or a regional promotion.
