Would savescum hard to make sure I was GOAT

After that things stayed uphill, though there were points were the ratings battle became really tense and the other show caught up and I'd sometimes even lose. I remember the 5 star matches with my CAW though, tables, weapons, finishers. Was such a good mode, the current universe mode is just shite in comparison. The games were so much fun then, I'd lose hours to this mode alone

My show I had with my action figures was still better though.

Daily reminder you loved this game, and would CPU vs CPU pretending you were a GM before the mode would later come out : https://youtu.be/WBdwvakUaGU


>tfw somewhere at my mom's house is a notebook where I kept my bookings

I remember doing a long burning storyline with Stevie Richards vs Kane for the WWE title in SVR 06.

Yes, I remember this. As a shit eating 12 year old I went full fucking autismo. I controlled both roster and dilligently created my dream storylines. I even went as far to play every single match I booked, even the jobber ones. I controlled 2 different wrestlers, even three at a time on some occasions, to make sure the superstar I wanted over got the W every time the way I wanted them to (clean finish, interference, etc.) It was the only thing I did at one point. I could finish an entire year's worth of it in just a couple of weekends. I wish I could take back all the time I wasted with it.

Which game was the one where it was really important to also manage the off time the wrestlers had?
Im talking fan meetings, dates, red carpets and that kinda shit?
I know its a SvR but i cant remember which year is it.
i also cant remember if it was good or not being objective today, but back then i was pouring a lot of time making sure Edge and Jericho got all the pushes they needed.

Will the new game have GM Mode? I want to do a Vince playthrough and push Roman for a few in-game years

Im scared to see how cringe mine was. My mom asked what it all meant when she stood over me writing one time. Funny story, I forgot who won mine but I was so inspired by Booker's KingOfTheRing run I made my own KOTC bracket. Literally 8 or 10 pages of me CPUvsCPUing every wrestler until the winner got William Regal's theme song for a month.

>>2400257

Teddy because Smackdown was known as the comfy brand with Undertaker and later nice man Batista. Raw was the edgy one that always broke ratings and attendance records every fucking night with lame'o Cena and his dumb spinning belt

GM Mode was so based.

I always drafted either Haitch or Angle first, then either the other or Undertaker.

Always had my CAW on there, maxed stats, make him tag champs with Guerrero/Benoit, catapulted him into main event status, feud with most popular superstar. Always worked.

We are you. Fuck bookings I had my OWN wrestling company on a notebook. Called the IWF (international wrestling federation) with the main face as a fantasy character named MAD MIKE MONTANA , who would look something like Eric Young and Macho Man fused together . there was no telling what mad mike would do on each show , and the major heel was THE ANTICHRIST, an android like character , 7 foot tall etc.

I would write name vs name and use various methods to determine the winner, like
>Coin toss
>variations of hinky pinky ponky

But mostly it was coin toss(5/6 tosses etc) which decided the winner.

Never forgave myself for losing that notebook and the company itself .

Now that there are android apps for better outcome determination , I should probably re start that. At a time when I had no Internet , no PC games, no console and my ONLY entertainment was the notebook , 2005-2007 WWE and watching Iraq civil war on the news.

Thanks for reading my blog and you may reply for a free subscription.

Good times.

so which had the best GM mode?

Real or fake was never something I really cared about as a kid. I guess on some level I always knew it was carny bullshit, just didn't matter to me. Too many things just didn't make sense. I never really believed in Santa either.

>>2401743
>Smackdown
>Sting

Yuck. Thats about as bad Taker on Raw.

>>2400121
You couldn't be fired for losing in the ratings, so I would always just start out spending as little as possible and just building up money for ages, then destroy my competition with money, just like based Vince.

>>2401757

As a kid when I was told that the storylines were fake, my child brain's defense mechanism shifted to putting all the reality on the matches themselves. I literally made myself believe the bookings were scripted, but the outcomes were determined for real.

But then I saw a few botch videos and my inner child screamed.

Would you play a Monday Night Wars GM Mode?

>>2401724
>Antichrist

As edgy as that is, I have to admit I made a wrestler named Black that was some strange mix of Lesnar and Taker. Never talked, had Heyman as a manager, and had a brutal move set. Never had him win a title though.

Noice and thanks for reading my autism

>The Antichrist

Story behind him is that the IWF once ran a small Indie company out of business.... A Japanese company. The owner, only known as Mr.Tendo wanted to exact revenge on the IWF so he uses all of his family wealth to build a BIONIC WRESTLER.

he's part human part robot and completely evil, one side of his face is white robot mask and the other side is burnt flesh. Tendo sets him on the IWF to injure all of their wrestlers and put them out of business and is out to kill the Owner

>Mad Mike Montana

A deranged heel madman who fucks other people's wives and all his feuds are written around something Autistic he does to other wrestlers .... but makes a face turn when the antichrist tried to kill him because mike was an Ex wrestler of Tendo's buried promotion and Tendo has now programmed the Evil Android to kill Mad mike Montana , and the only the way to defeat the Machine is to remove a Chip planted deep in his head by removing the mask. I forgot after that

Other fantasy wrestlers

Kek. ... since his brain is purely AI programmed by tendo, his robotic mind is the second coming of Satan

>>2401940
Thanks man keK

Also , just like Wrestlemania, the flagship show of shows of the IWF will be "SLAMINEM" , it's literally a tournament where the winner gets a huge golden trophy at the end. Mad mike wins the 2nd slaminem dirty and goes on to his victory speech ....

"THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN THIS TROPHY RIGHT NOW, IS THAT TROPHY WIFE OF YOURS THAT I BANGED LAST NIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT (wrestler) I FUCKED YOUR WIFE TOO A HAHAHA "

commentators : Oh my God what an absolute madman!

Next show, audience hold signs like : "Mad mike just fucked your wife!"

07, but none of the GM Modes were really complete or at the peak of their potential. After a tiny bit of changes to 07 they sort of gave up and 2 games later it was gone.

06 was missing a ton of stuff and the "1-on-1 matches started feuds" gimmick was awful, 07 was the best and it did seem like the next installment was gonna be the mode's shining moment. Then 08, which sucked as a game anyway, just grouped GM Mode and Season Mode into the same thing and it became too easy without dwelling more into GM Mode on its own. Its a shame really, and theyre doing the exact same thing with Universe Mode

Were those shits based on popularity?

>>2400099

>Pick Smackdown because I liked the WHC better than the shitty spinner belt
>Hire 80's Hogan and Hollywood Hogan
>Immediately put them in a rivalry, and book them in the main event every single week for the WHC

Move over new stars.

>>2403862
>Ratingswhoring
>not playing realistically

My enemy brand won every damn time but I always had fun

I used to use a CAW that looked like me and gave him a match every show

His gimmick was that he was the GMs spoiled son and everytime he lost the wrestler that beat him got fired
I would raffle his opponent every match
One time i drew the biggest draw on my show
Obviously the CAW got squashed and i fired the draw
My ratings plummeted

Y'know. People say 2007 is the best SvR game but I have to disagree. Here's why 2006 is better
>That roster
>Those stages
>That Storymode
>Fun little Poker mode
>GM mode gave you more freedom in terms of storylines and didn't force you to have pre-written storylines like: "Number One Contender" or "Hungry Challenger" like in 07
>Soundtrack is god-tier
>The ring announcers aren't glitch-y in GM mode, they actually say what the match is gonna be for and who is the champion.
Don't get me wrong, I like 2007, but 2006 just has more going for it in terms of replayability and enjoyment.
