IT'S LIKE I CAN TOUCH YOU!
The fact that the game let's you do the dumbest poo poo possible is what really makes it.

Like, the NewLegacy boys did a run where they made every single match a "loser Leaves Town" match and thus everyone they beat was fired. They eventually found out that you can apply that stip to any other match type, including battle royals. So they just went to every promotion challenging people to Loser Leaves Town Battle Royals and getting the entire roster fired in one day.

You should look up their video because it’s amazing. I think it’s the Andrew Everett story highlights part eight by new legacy Inc.

It just fires them, the game just let's you empty an entire promotions roster and there's no game over. I think the only Game Over is if your character just straight up dies.

I think Booker mode it's if you run out of money, which led to another amazing NL moment where they were playing as JR booking WWE "in character" which meant hiring Dr Death Steve Williams to a 2 million dollar per match contract, which meant every time they booked him it'd instantly bankrupt the company and also he was the world champion.

Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago...
Once nL got enough people fired, multiple copies of the same person wound up being booked in matches. I forget the specifics but there was a big tag match with like 3 Ric Flair's in it.

I think Ric Flair at that point was the only person that hadn't been fired so he was simultaneously the Owner, the Ref, the Commentator and also every Champion and the game just shat itself

There was a match with multiple Ric Flairs, multiple Jun Akiyamas, multiple Andrew Everetts, and multiple Minoru Suzukis. Andrew Everett won the match but three other Andrew Everetts lost so he had to go back to wrestling school.

Can I do Fire Pro on an M1 Mac? What’s the best route? Parallels? Never tried Windows stuff on Mac and this is the only thing that has ever sparked a desire to do so.

I had best results with Boot Camp but it depends on how much memory you have- you want to be able to set aside more than 4 GB because on top of the game there’s the system software.

Also they’re just giving Windows 10 away now.

Thanks. Sounds like it’s worth a shot with an 8GB M1 if all I’m out is the $30 or whatever it is on Steam.

as others have pointed out it just dumps the losers into wrestling school.

However if you do the same thing at wrestling school, I think it just kills all the people who lost.

I stumbled upon them doing that during some M Dickie sort of label on the roster and yeah hiring Dr. Death for a bajillion dollars, and hiring Scott Steiner with a nepotism clause that immediately hired Rick, who they then fired immediately AND paid him off. :laffo:

Yup, Andrew Everett managed to fire himself from death because the first loss put him in wrestling school, the second fired him from wrestling school killing him, and then the third loss in the same match unkilled him since the game didn't know what to do.

it does seem very soon and im skeptical but also worth considering that yukes had announced they were already working on an original wrestling IP years earlier

ie like mid-2019

Yeah, Yukes had already been working on a non-WWE wrestling game even before they lost the WWE deal so it stands to reason they probably used whatever groundwork they'd already been building for the AEW project.

There's also the fact that they've shown very little of it. Just a few seconds super early gameplay here and there and some character models really.

Its been more than a decade but the Wrestle Kingdom and DOR games were pretty good. No guarantee they have that in them these days, but they were capable once upon a time. That said, go back that far you are going back to a time when the mainline Smackdown games were pretty good too, so who knows?

I think my second guy won a "hair vs. hair battle royal" so the entire roster of whatever company just ended up being bald

Didn't one of those games have a Zombie Benoit at one point? Like he'd been possessed by Undertaker or some such nonsense. Maybe it was someone else.

I miss the absurdly dumb WWE game storylines that involved stuff like "Beat up all the druids"

So I started a career in Wrestling Empire with one of the premade characters and after my first match someone stole my gear and wanted me to pay them to get it back. I told them no thinking I'd be able to buy new clothes later but I haven't seen any way to spend money at all in this game.

I don't really care about wrestling in my underwear because it's funny but is there a way to spend money? Whenever I click Gimmick between matches it greys everything out. Do I need to advance the story to a certain point or go somewhere in the city?

I think you can just go back to the character editor and change the outfit???
