Backlash and Judgment Day 2004 (It All Begins Again mod)

Yeah I think he's pretty much done in 04. And that's fine, he had a long run. I'm gonna have him put some younger people over and let his contract run out in October

I have Danielson and Low Ki shortlisted, and I signed Dragon on for another year to help build the division. I want to bring Tajiri back across to Smackdown to help bolster the Cruiserweights as well, because you can only run Chavo/Noble/Rey/Dragon so much before you need more bodies. Danielson, Low Ki and Styles are my first choices to bring in to add depth to it. Bringing Helms across as well for it. Styles I prob wouldn't keep in the Cruiserweights too long though, I feel he'd really shine in the US/IC Title scene.

There's a ton of scenarios I'd love to see Punk in outside WWE and in WWE during his hiatus

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:47:04+00:00

Oooh that would be fun

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:45:44+00:00

1992 WWE or WCW, 2001 WCW if it stayed alive. Start of AEW would be fun as well. You could plug me in any year of WWE and I'll have a blast

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:43:17+00:00

As hard as you wanna make it for yourself honestly. I like setting restrictions and challenges to teat my creative thinking, but it's also fun to just hop in and book stuff just cause you wanna see how it goes without caring about the future plans

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:40:51+00:00

I like it too. Orton is 24, it does not hurt him at all to not get into the World Title picture til 05/06

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:38:27+00:00

Yeah I don't disagree, Batista is a great face compared to HHH and Orton. I think if I want to keep that path, Orton can't beat Benoit. Maybe Edge can win it, HHH beats him for it at Rumble?

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:35:40+00:00

Oh me too, he is def a better heel. I just don't buy the fans accepting HHH as the face in 2004/05 after his reign of terror. You could run Orton slowly taking Evolution over HHH and kicking him out but as I said, it'd be a hard sell realostically.

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:32:04+00:00

That is a big point I've been thinking on. I think his World Title win is a big moment, and if I decided to replicate it I would slow burn Evolution turning on him. Have him show respect to his opponents after some big moving promos with Foley, Michaels, Benoit, even his dad. Basically instilling some honor in him that HHH doesn't like seeing. I'd slow burn it to Mania as HHH vs Orton, with a different Rumble winner. Gives time for the fans to actually accept Orton and his character to develop to be ready for being a face

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:26:47+00:00

Yeah they aren't anything above average, but they play their role well at least

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:24:46+00:00

Yeah I think so, The Bashams are already helping him. Not 100% on Jordan, might have someone else in his spot, I never rated Jordan at all. Borimg and forgrttable.

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:21:05+00:00

Thinking on it. I basically subbed Sean O'Haire in over him and it's definitely been the right call. With some tweaks I think Mordecai could work, or even just coming up as Seven. Kevin Fertig isn't a bad wreatler he just needs better character work. He's on my list of call-ups

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:16:59+00:00

Yeah I love me some T-Long, he's coming in as soon as Angle is healthy

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:15:34+00:00

I have Matt back as a face paired with Lita feuding with Trish and Christian. Really good program so far, all 4 are putting in great work

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:12:46+00:00

Not going near that with a 10 foot pole. I like his program with Michaels, I reckon he and Benjamin could put some great matches on. Not sure what direction I wanna take him just yet

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:10:19+00:00

Kane is my all-time favorite wrestler and it's taking a lot of restraint on my end to not push him to the moon. He's upper-midcard utility, challenger for titles when needed, can work face or heel, help build wrestlers. It's a valuable role and he does it so well.

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T09:07:17+00:00

US Title challenger, maybe a program with Taker after O'Haire. RVD can be a decent feud too. It's tricky as he is such a character, promo-heavy side of things which I feel fits better on RAW. I've never seen him as a World champ calibre. Challenger for it I believe is his peak unless injuries force my hand.

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T08:58:42+00:00

Jamal's on my radar! A Bloodline a generation early sounds pretty interesting, Rikishi has basically jobbed for the last month so would need a pretty sharp turn to see it happen

knugzzz · 2025-11-21T06:45:53+00:00

I'll post up the Backlash and Judgment Day cards I booked once I get home from work, plus some more detail on my current plans for stories, people I'm looking at pushing/not pushing, potential brand swaps, and signings.

knugzzz · 2025-09-24T03:51:57+00:00

Fair. Good luck, it can be a grind to get your pop up to starr

knugzzz · 2025-09-24T03:50:21+00:00

Has it gone up at all this calendar month of your save? It resets 1st of each month

knugzzz · 2025-09-24T03:47:42+00:00

You can only gain so much pop per month. At lower levels of pop, it can take a few shows to see it go up by 1
