2016 actually runs the shows from the bottom up, so Sheamus won the world title and then won the royal rumble for shits and giggles.

He's been the champion for 11 months now as well. And HHH and Stephanie just got divorced. This WWE is going to be a fun one

edit: Their current storylines are Roman Reigns vs Adam Cole, John Cena vs The Miz, Seth Rollins vs Sheamus, and Moose vs Randy Orton

I feel like they have done a similar thing? I remember some shows would end with a highlight reel of the show set to the show's theme song, like you'd get on Raw. Was that an Attitude Era thing?

It's worse than that, the only Japanese wrestling games they made in that period during their ownership were the two Wrestle Kingdom games.

I mean, that sounds a little less weird to me, the Japanese wrestling game scene seems to be pretty much Fire Pro territory. I'm just genuinely shocked they never tried to get a WWE vs. NJPW theme for one of the games while they pretty much owned NJPW.

Firepro is all we got in the States but there was a relatively sizable amount of Wrestling games being made at one point. Yukes were making the Toukon Retsuden games simultaneously with the early Smackdown games, and while they apparently played pretty differently, these games were the reason why there were so many Puro moves in the early Smackdowns. Other than the PlayStation classic release of Firepro R, the only Japanese wrestling game to make it to the last gen was the first Wrestle Kingdom on the X Box 360, as 2 was strangely released only on the PS2. 2007 is the last year any company made a Japanese Wrestling game.

Playing a real world game is great just to see the insane stuff that happens in the AI controlled companies. TNA just tried really hard to sign Dean Ambrose, but he stuck with WWE, where he's unfortunately an opening card act left behind by his brothers Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns who have reformed The Shield to feud with the unholy alliance of Sheamus, Kevin Owens, and Adam Cole.

Part of me always wants to play as booker just to see who the owner wants me to push. Then when I do it they give me some stupid goal like.
*Do not sign any worker with psychology 53 or below.

To which I'm just like 'Or I can start a new game as owner and not get my ability to sign young workers to developmental contracts completely hamstrung'.

In my game TNA tried to sign The Miz from WWE but lost the bidding war. I did manage to outbid WWE for Neville and William Regal so the game might still have some issues with wrestlers valuing short term money over working for WWE rather than a regional sized indy

Eh I dunno, wrestlers being dumb about money and thinking in the short term sounds about right to me

Sheamus hits the 1 year mark as WWE Champion by putting on an A* match

edit: The reign of Sheamus is ended by Chris Jericho at the 2018 Rumble. John Cena then wins the Rumble match to theoretically set up Cena/Jericho as the Wrestlemania main event.

So, I've generally been a pretty nice guy boss - I'm cheating like a bastard, so I'm giving out bonuses like they were candy. I assume the reason I'm moving towards loyalty but not much for velvet is cause I gave Brian Kendrick poo poo a couple of times when he showed up too stoned to work instead of letting it slide. Will I still unlock motivational speeches if I keep moving that meter down but not left?

If it's anything like 13 you have to be in the velvet glove and respect quad to get those.
Which sucks, because I'm probably not getting those in this version. One of the subtler changes from '16 is making the 'nice guy' options make you feel less 'nice' and more 'like a total pushover'.

The newfound intensity / fragility of handling backstage drama does sort of break the system in place - whoever's meanest rules the roost, and if it's not you then it's the Tripses of the world. Unless you're actively keeping troublemakers off your roster you're bound to come down hard (by the game's standards) or else find your locker room spiraling into pandemonium.

I had someone pull a tasteless prank on another worker, and as it was their 5th offense or so, I fired them. The victim then got angry at my 'overreaction' so I fired them too. Seems the best way to deal with stuff in this version

Thanks for the answers re: motivational speeches in TEW 2016. I'll probably end up putting that code in at some point to check it out since I probably won't be enough of a push over to unlock it.

Anybody do their own custom merch settings? I've been doing them for a couple of months now and I'm increased my gross income a decent bit, but I've increased my costs a whole lot more. I'm working on the assumption that since there's the same number of them that the level of merch push should match how well their doing sales wise, is that right?

I don't bother making merch for any worker whose return is categorized at 'weak' or 'awful'.
