This is an ongoing wrestling sim of 1983 WWF, run in Total Extreme Wrestling 2013. (because 2016 wasn't out at the time!) We have had a prediction contest for most of the game, but that is (probably) slated to end after Wrestlemania II, which is about an in-game month away! The game has run at this point from 1/1/83 to 3/1/84. Here's a very brief recap of the biggest things to happen. (Soon, but maybe not tonight, there will also be info on our roster, teams, storylines, and other stuff a new reader should know)
-WWF never exploded like it did in the real world- it's a major player but by no means the dominant force the real WWF was at this point. -In fact, we wound up joining the NWA! We're one of the biggest feds under that umbrella, but AWA still sits on top of the US wrestling scene. Georgia Championship Wrestling and Championship Wrestling from Florida are also big names. -We actually managed to buy out All Japan Pro Wrestling, bringing in several wrestlers as an nWo-type stable. It's led by a bunch of white dudes because popularity mechanics. -With it came the "NWA United National Title" which is sadly not a traveling title because this isn't TEW 2016. It is being used as a second world title, and frequently just called the NWA Title. -We have tons of tournaments and other special annual events, thanks in large part to prediction contests. -We have two TV shows: All-Star Wrestling is our A-show, and Wrestling Challenge the B-show. (faces heels) MAIN EVENT Kevin Von Erich (KVE) Don "The Rock" Muraco (NWA CHAMPION) Ric Flair Andre the Giant (ROYAL RUMBLE WINNER) Stan Hansen Terry Funk (WWF CHAMPION) King David (Von Erich) Dynamite Eddie Williams (AKA Masked Superstar/Demolition Ax/Bill Eadie) "Wildfire" Tommy Rich UPPER MIDCARD Ricky Steamboat Paul Jones Tito Santana Jimmy Snuka Ted DiBiase Jerry Lawler The Iron Sheik Rick Martel (IC CHAMPION) Bruno Sammartino Ivan Koloff MIDCARD Rocky Johnson Curt Hennig Barry Windham Tony Atlas George Steele Meng Jumbo Tsuruta (TAG CHAMPION) Mr. Fuji Sika Afa Reigns Giant Baba (TAG CHAMPION) David Schultz LOWER MIDCARD Bret Hart Owen Hart Jules Strongbow David Sammartino Tony Garea Eddie Gilbert AKIO (Sato) Iron Mike Sharpe Tiger Conway Jr. UNDERCARD Mitsuhara Misawa Hiro Saito Luis Edwards (from the future!)

So like, if you leave WWF to their own devices on the AI, will they explode more often than not, or is the mod just not very accurate?

I haven't simmed this mod very much (although one time I simmed it up to present day and only the jobber feds survived) but I think that's just kinda a limitation of TEW. You can't really suddenly devour all the territories the way WWF did, you can't spam celebrity involvement, PPV is already a thing, and you don't start with Hogan.

Eh you can to some extent if you're liberal with your use of narratives (and worker/owner relationships and owner traits/etc). That's why I always liked The Golden Age mod (starts just before Wrestlemania 3) a lot-- I've simmed it a lot and it ends up closer to accurate than you'd expect like 10 years later.
It is a fine balance though-- you obviously want variation to exist otherwise it's like "well why play this it's exactly the same as it went in real life" but I do feel like if you're running a historic mod you do want certain things to click into place fairly reliably. But yeah I guess I was just wondering if WWF is at least poised to hit their stride soon if they make the right moves and you just failed to or if it's just not quite inherently strong enough to do it easily. It did seem like you've been getting good enough show ratings but what can ya do. --- No problem! This is a cute and pop genocide of love! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've been steadily growing but CWF/AWA/GCW usually put on slightly better shows. --- Dance to your shadow when there's nothin' better near ye The problem is the racism against cute Pokemon.- Luster Soldier ...

Wrestling Challenge
Wk. 1, 3/84 Money and Power express mock sympathy for Future Perfect. They should've taken the offer of becoming underlings! (71) Lawler beats Owen, but not before a solid match.

(49) Albano tries to hype the Samoans even though they aren't really doing anything these days. (55) Snuka and Bret put on a good match, with Snuka taking the win. (69) Future Perfect are incensed by DiBiase talking down to them, and won't sell out to anybody! (50) David Sammartino of all people is in our main event, teaming with Steamboat against Style and Substance. Faces get a big win, thanks mostly to Steamboat. (64) Overall: 65 NEWS -Charlie Fulton leaves via contract expiry. -Jimmy Valiant d. Ricky Morton for the AWA TV Title -NJPW feuds Hogan v.

All-Star Wrestling
Wk. 2, 3/84 Funk is here to talk about how much better he is than the whole WWF. Muraco, however, is ALSO a world champ! Funk tells him to watch his back because they'll get around to taking that belt back eventually. (97) Sheik gets a big win over Jones to kick off the in-ring action! (76) Baba and Tsuruta claim that there are no good opponents for them now that they've beaten Future Perfect. (58) Money and Power easily dispatch the Survivors. (65) Fink interviews Bruno, who rambles angrily about nothing in particular. (53) With King David once again on commentary, Santana picks up a big win over Snuka. (71) This time, King David hops in the ring and takes a cheap shot at Santana after the match! (75) Our main event is Flair and KVE teaming up to attempt some revenge against Rich and Hansen. Very good match, and the good guys come out on top! (88) There's no time to celebrate, though, because Rich and Hansen attack after the bell. Are they going to try to beat them both down? Things look bad for the faces....but here comes ANDRE! He's looking fairly ginger as he plods to the ring, but his presence is still enough to drive All Japan out of the ring. They point at each other as we go off the air. (76) Martel and Steamboat squabble because I forgot to move that angle back. (62) Overall: 86 SUCCESS NEWS -AWA feuds Ventura v. Slaughter, Lawler v.
