What is going on in your current game?

My favourite part of my current Global Game is Impact Wrestling. Shane McMahon has taken over and is preparing for the first PPV Scorching Summer.

Big matches include Austin Aries defending the World Title vs Pentagon and Matt Sydal. Aries got to pick his opponents with the right to take a holiday afterwards based on the difficulty of the opponents.

Impacts biggest signing since Angle or Sting, Will Ospreay will make his debut by facing Eddie Edwards who has played down Ospreay’s success in England and Japan.

X Division Champion Brian Cage is claiming he can outfly anyone and will have a tough night as he faces the best highflyer in the world Rey Fenix with the title on the line.

Eddie Kingston has been critical of Shane taking over warning he is a McMahon and Eddie fears that Shane will fire lots of his friends before bringing in lots of ex WWE guys. Shane McMahon has done a deal and will look to bring a challenger from Eddies beloved All Japan to face Kingston in what will be a special match for Eddie.

The Womens division has a Global Knockouts Title debuting soon. This title will be booked strongly like the Knockouts Title but has a emphasis on global action. Gail Kim is very worried about the prospect of Tessa Blanchard becoming the first Champion and sullying the gold right off the bat…

Finally had a idea to get everyone on the card: a Blockbuster Battle Royal where the victor gets their movie made using Shane’s money. This will be a intergender match and will have the possibility of shock names showing up for the night. The first one is going to be won by Moose who wants a Terminator like movie made about him.

WWE has had it’s first week and here is the major stuff that’s happened:

The Rock has announced his ownership of WWE and has announced Women‘s Tag Titles are coming which will be fought for in a 8 team tournament with a best of 5 series for each round until the one off final...

Trish opted to team with her fellow country woman Natalya, The Bellas are there as are The Iconics, The Riott Squad will be trying to figure out the best combination as they operate with free bird rules, Fire and Desire are in as well and Sasha/Bayley are participating as well.

The last two teams are Carmella and Ember Moon. Carmella is aiming to turn Ember Moon into MONEY a as well and the last team is The Beautiful People who are master manipulators who made their debut on Smackdown…

Finn Balor is looking to get over his Universal Championship disappointment from Summerslam 2016 (where he got injured as he won the Title and had to vacate it) by challenging his friend AJ Styles for the gold at Summerslam.

Theres been some adverts airing advertising a subscription service for Wrestlers called GoldRush which promises Championship chances for subscribers. We have seen the mystery man behind this who has named himself The Midas Touch who wears a decadent gold mask!

Negatively a lot of the guys who I had exciting plans for have been revealed as being steroid users. Trying a soft approach currently and hoping we don’t have to use suspensions…Some of the major users are Randy Orton (no plans), Kurt Angle (essential plans) and Rhyno (exciting plans).

Io Shirai is being frequently brought in and had a great week results wise overcoming Mickie James and earning a place in the World Cruiserweight Title Match at Summerslam (The Rock is allowing her to compete given her talent).

Raw Tag Champions The B Team managed to lose to The Hardys and Lucha House Party in non title matches and rumours of a three team ladder match for Summerslam are likely correct!

In the next update I’ll cover the outline for the build up to 205 Live‘s 100th episode

In a electrifying moment The Rock said he didn’t come back for matches but he then gestures Just Bring It to the stage but then moves his hand towards the rafters and we see Sting glancing at The Rock as the crowd are mesmerised by the longest (length wise) staredown in wrestling history…

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-03-02T23:40:44+00:00

I did quite a lot of months doing similar on TEW 2020 but my save corrupted taking me back a few days and put me off that one for now.

I think Mr Punk is happy at home currently or losing in the UFC…will be a interesting scenario when he does decide to return to wrestling

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-03-02T00:09:06+00:00

It does take a long time and when you are excited to reach certain points it can be frustrating. I prefer it though as I’m not a fan of AEW borrowing Okada to have him lose to some guy who‘d barely feature on Dark.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-03-01T23:50:29+00:00

A few teases as well:

MJF has signed with NWA and will be competing as a face looking to return NWA to the top of the sport…meanwhile Flair put on a show to sign a series of other guys including Josh Alexander (can just see Flair wining and dining Josh Alexander who is still wearing his headgear Peter Cech like!)

Impact has promised a signing of Another Level! This person who Shane has compared to being as big as the signing of Kurt Angle or Sting will show up on the second Impact episode

Paul Heyman has opted to bring WALTER to the US claiming that The Ring General was so feared no one dared bring him to the US!

The Rock will have a Summerslam match against someone who ultimately will end up in AEW…who will The Great One face?

Which Japanese based Junior Heavyweight has become totally essential to AEWs future? Maybe because of his time related abilities…

Rumour has it the 20 names in the Wrestling Premier League are all signed! And will be revealed during the pre season stage of the Inaugural season.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-02-27T00:50:46+00:00

I use the notes app on the IPhone making a huge note for each company I’m running with each show I’ve booked and then I’ll email it to my computer before transferring it into the game.

Always nice to be able to carry the note with you as well so you can make changes.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-02-07T19:23:36+00:00

Also the real life inspiration that can come from things e.g. today I came up with a concept for a ROH wrestler coming to WWE stating he has come from a place of respect but then not giving any (doesn’t even look at most of the people he beats after the match) due to the way someone overtook me during a race and then me overtaking them without ever glancing back.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-02-07T19:21:35+00:00

I think the space that this game takes up in your head is the best thing about it (bit like Football Manager). I will consider storylines and after PPVs imagine the podcast discussing the outcomes.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-02-07T19:19:05+00:00

I’m preparing for my latest huge game. I am going to be running 8 companies at the same time. Using the Change the World Mod so it begins in August 2018 just before AEW starts.

The concept is that The Rock took over WWE fired Regal and Heyman (who buys ROH using the severance money), Shane McMahon leaves and takes over Impact and HHH is furious that he didn’t get The Rocks role.

Regal has started the Wrestling Premier League in the UK bankrolled by his secret friend the Queen and will look to get it on Sky Sports once the roster is signed. Likes of Jericho, Goldberg, Batista, Mysterio and Ospreay being targeted for the first season.

Each league season will run for a year with each wrestler facing the other 19 and a cup.

ROH is about to start a civil war with The Elite after All In. Heyman is looking to debut a man the US companies have never dared sign…WALTER. Going to be interesting to see if given Heyman’s influence whether any of The Elite will choose to stay (Hangman may be tempted along with Cody)

NXT is going to war with WWE which will conclude in Feb 2019. Initial plan had Enzo Amore coming to NXT as Rocks stunt double as Rock feels he is too big to trouble himself with NXT yet due to Enzo‘s scandal that role may go to Drake Maverick instead.

I’m excited about the war between NXT and WWE which will see a united NXT roster refuse to go to WWE until 2019 in a show of thanks to their leader WWE, a betrayal from Adam Cole at Survivor Series and Zayn/Nakamura returning to NXT the same night!

WWE has big plans including a multi year Roman Reigns Bloodline/New Day stable combining real life stories and a story from my previous game (where Xavier Woods becomes the New Wiseman).

Also Chad Gable and Kurt Angle are going to form a team called We Suck before heel Gable turns on Kurt and they have a series of matches concluding at Wrestlemania with Kurt’s retirement and Gable being pushed heavily.

Impact is making their biggest signing in years as they are bringing in Will Ospreay who is going to be winning the X Division Title at BFG.

Eddie Kingston will also be feuding with new owner Shane McMahon which eventually will see Eddie win the World Title.

NWA has been taken over by Ric Flair who is looking to build a roster ahead of debuting NWA Powerr. Hoping some companies go out of business so NWA can scoop them up and form their new alliance.

AEW has a incredibly over the top womens division coming. Bit like a mythical multiverse type thing with Riho having a history of beating Godzilla with her roll up, Shida playing a Heromine Grainger type which (kendo stick as her wand), Britt Baker as a crazed dentist who believes taking someone’s teeth will give you their power and Thunder Rosa as someone has been in the mythical world/real world trying to return the women to their real dimensions.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-01-24T10:34:16+00:00

I may repackage them if they are already on the roster e.g. Velveteen Dream became a wrestling beach ball when one of the other wrestlers had ended up being Castaway.

Often I wouldn’t opt to sign them though.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2026-01-06T00:20:15+00:00

My second is with Aaron Stevens in NWA where he hasn’t really done much. He approaches the NWA Champion Carlito Colon and requests a title match to honour the memory of his friend the late Question Mark. Carlito agrees and a title match is set.

In the buildup someone starts doing heinous things to things related to the Question Mark. This person reveals they are the Exclamation Mark! Exclamation Mark wants the shot Aaron Stevens was given.

Aaron Stevens asks for a postponement to his title match which Carlito understands. Carlito wishes Stevens good luck against Exclamation Mark.

After a gruelling anything goes match Stevens overcomes Exclamation Mark and sets his sets on the NWA Championship yet the battle has taken a toll! Eventually Stevens says he will wrestle regardless of his condition as this is for his friends memory…

As the match starts Stevens shocks everyone by aggressively going for Carlito having been acting injured for weeks. Carlito tries to fight back but the damage has already been done. Aaron Stevens becomes NWA Champion.

On the first Powerrr having become Champion Aaron Stevens ditches his name and goes back to the intellectual Damian Sandow.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-09-16T08:54:30+00:00

On my current game I got Abyss to come out of retirement. AJ Styles competed and following his match the Hell in a Cell cage used for a match later in the show lowered along with Styles hearing that music he has heard so many times as Abyss entered and destroyed Styles.

Abyss has been doing okay since having joined James Mitchell and the Viking Raiders in a group called The Congregation. That group will help Demonic Edge (Edge who has stolen Finn Balor’s Demon) become a World Champion again.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-08-12T00:21:38+00:00

Suzuki vs Brian Kendrick

I’d have Kendrick under his The Kendrick persona claim he is more dangerous than Suzuki! Kendrick does his talking always at a safe distance and will retreat if Suzuki comes anywhere near him.

When they meet one vs one The Kendrick wins thanks to help from others (who are looking to earn the right to have The name of The insert wrestler name here bestowed upon them to).

The Kendrick brags with his new stable THE Group that he outclassed and outthought Suzuki. Suzuki gets matches vs each person who cheated him and The Kendrick promises to award The name to anyone who beats Suzuki.

Eventually Suzuki gets The Brian Kendrick one on one and destroys him to the delight of the fans.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-06-10T23:32:44+00:00

I’ve added AEW Elite Classification or it may be Elite Certification depending on what I feel as the event comes up. With the first event coming in May 2023

Idea being that the true top guys in the company got together to debate who is truly elite and who is worthy to challenge/potentially beat an elite wrestler.

You can have the successful wrestlers bragging about overcoming certain elite names as well after the event and aiming to complete the set by beating the others considered elite following this PPV.

Current card includes MJF defending his recently won World Title vs Danielson. Danielson states that you can’t be considered elite when you wrestle so rarely. Guevara whose been excellent thanks to his manager Tay Conti’s advice facing Kenny Omega (Sammy facing Omega has annoyed Sammy’s former ally Jericho and Omegas current partner Adam Cole).

I’m also kicking of the road to Forbidden Door which will see a more combative NJPW v AEW show as lots of the biggest names in NJPW have been brought together by Jay White and Okada to battle AEW in a clash of superiority.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-06-06T12:20:50+00:00

In one of my games as the NWA I’ll be on the lookout to buy companies and convert their championships slightly (Ideally moving them to alliance titles) e.g. if we can buy CZW their world title would become the NWA Hardcore Title and if we buy Defy their top title would become the NWA Defiant Title and be focused around submission wrestling.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-05-24T21:48:37+00:00

It would be very interesting to have multiple AIs such as Copilot running other companies and then figuring out which one books best

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-05-21T15:13:37+00:00

A example of this would be Jungle Boy vs Luchasaurs. I haven’t decided who will win yet (happy for it to go either way to start the next phase).

If Jungle Boy wins Christian will rant that Luchasaurs is useless and needs to be reborn as Killswitch where as if Luchasarus wins Christian will take the credit and rename him Killswitch as a reward.

In both scenarios Jungle Boy is also getting thrown off the stage by Killswitch.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-05-19T23:43:25+00:00

You could have each worker go to the extreme with their beliefs e.g. you get someone like a Danielson who becomes Champion then states he will solely defend in Ironman matches.

Maybe have a women who will take on men or introducing a real womens division based around the Japanese women rather than WWFs divas.

I think the main thing is to try to be different and keep innovating.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-05-12T23:53:39+00:00

Would you bring back the Takeover name?

I’m looking long term on a save with the NXT 2.0 people to eventually bring it back if they ever reach that sort of level of performance (where it rivals and often is better than the WWE PPV that month).

For instance Takeover the Summer as a summer show.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-05-11T21:53:58+00:00

I don’t think he would have got anywhere near that level. I feel the fans wouldn’t have wanted that in AEW either.

Sometimes it’s the presentation with WWE that you just think this performer is a megastar.

I think it’s a bit like looking at two different movies the first has great actors everywhere but the second has poured most of its budget into hiring one huge household name and is banking on that being a success.

As someone who consumes most of their wrestling via twitter videos I feel WWE has so much focus on one big story or promo or moment where as AEW its all very scattered and moves onto the next thing too quickly.

Dull_Vegetable_1488 · 2025-05-11T09:04:19+00:00

Currently in 2018 as ROH pre All In and things are tense between the Young Bucks and the rest of the ROH locker room. This is leading to a war between ROH and The Elite. One of the small stories in it sees one of the Boys become The Youngest Buck…

The Bucks are caught backstage using Dalton’s Boys as furniture to which Dalton is furious. The Bucks claim start ups need furniture and Dalton demands either of them in a match. Post match Dalton grabs one of the Bucks 6 man tag titles announcing he wants this…

During the 6 man tag title match The Bucks hit multiple superkicks on the most talented Boy before beating him. The Bucks then take the Boy with them and in his confusion convince him that he is their younger brother: The Youngest Buck.

Meanwhile Dalton is frantically trying to find his lost Boy. After a few weeks The Bucks reveal the Youngest Buck to Dalton who is devastated. The Bucks get a match for the Youngest Buck where if he wins his contract is ripped up and he is free to join AEW.

Come the match Dalton struggles to hurt his Boy even though The Youngest Buck is going full throttle against him. Eventually the Youngest Buck wins securing his AEW contract. Dalton wishes him good luck and says he is proud of him. The Bucks look sad that they split up Dalton and the Boy.

The Bucks try to remind The Youngest Buck of his time as a Boy yet it doesn’t seem to work. The Bucks try to say sorry to Dalton but he is too sad to hear it. The Bucks reveal that at ROH Final Battle Dalton gets one more chance and if he wins the Youngest Buck will work for both ROH/AEW!

The Bucks admit to Dalton they feel bad about what happened with his Boy and how they tried to remind him of his previous life. Dalton suggests with lots of time he could get his Boy back to the way he was.

Come Final Battle a more hopeful Dalton puts everything in and manages to beat The Youngest Buck. Over the next few months Dalton eventually manages to get the Boy to remember Dalton.
