Board 8 > Lopen runs current day WWE in real time in TEW 2016. HYPER TURBO!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Poor dog :(

@gatarix be sad for the dog
---

Givings of Thanks poor for plans
---

:(
---

Tomorrow updates
---

By tomorrow I mean tomorrow.
---

okay sounds good
---

Wow Tom you were supposed to let it die

Anyway yeah I think I'll actually get back to this on Thursday when my second monitors come in. This game is a lot easier to play with multiple monitors-- probably contributed to part of the problem

Or maybe I'm just making up excuses but I'm eager to test it
---

I mean I can if you want but it's currently on my bump list <_>
---

I don't really want.

I want to catch up.

Someday.
---

I want paige
---

I like how Rusev arguing about pets is the hottest angle on Smackdown
---

I'd watch it
---

I have no idea why those segments are rated so well looking at the mechanic but it would be the hottest segment for me so I don't argue
---

yeah
---

Lopen I know you really want to take holidays off but I'm not sure refusing to update on Rusev Day is a productive long term plan
---

hey man you gotta show some respect to our Rusevs
---

I would post some tonight but I'm sure Aiden English will remind me it's Rusev day again when I watch Smackdown.
---

rude of him
---

It's not Rusev day tomorrow.

I'm ready.
---

Tonight on Smackdown Live!, we find out if Rusev was right or wrong when he claimed that dogs say "bark" more often than they say "woof"
---

Would book

Too many apples in the way.
---

at least it's not too many limes
---

The apples were vanquished.
---

The battle only ends when you give up
---

I love TEW diaries. They satisfy everybody's desires, don't you think?
---

The number of updates is everything
---

battoru, battoru~
---

It's a shameful thing, Lopen's head
A careless man whose topic's dead
---

they need to hurry up with next event so I have more references for bumps
---

The 120 days of Rusev are coming to an end, soon
---

i was promised rusev day was over
---

DanteIsSlacking posted...

i was promised rusev day was over

Don't you hear the crowds? It's super-over!
---

I celebrate Rusev day 24/7 in hopes it'll get this topic over but I feel like it has the reverse effect
---

Alright I guarantee there will be updates tonight.
---

i mean, i think we still have until sunday
---

I mean, I imagine we get no updates before the first Rusev Day of 2018.

Hell in the Cell, brief match card storylines (I'll be doing this before all the PPVs because I think with my erratic schedule this is kinda necessary)

Kevin Owens vs Shane McMahon
Basically the same as the WWE storyline at this point. KO headbutted Vince. Shane is taking it a bit more personally and has been arguably neglecting his duties as Commissioner, certain superstars, and Daniel Bryan.

Jinder Mahal(c) Maharaja Open Challenge
Mahal has been issuing open challenges and having Khali + The Singh Brothers beat down the challengers before they start the match. Mahal has stated he will be continuing this at the PPV.

Randy Orton vs Shinsuke Nakamura
The two have wanted to face Mahal, but neither really got a rematch due to miscommunication between the two, apathy, and arguably sabotage by the other allowing Mahal to get the upper hand, so they just straight up battle each other instead because Orton is pissed.

Dolph Ziggler vs Sami Zayn
Less focus on Ziggler aping entrances as he only did it once with Undertaker's entrance, more focus on Ziggler not giving a crap and making fun of part timers and the fans. Zayn plays the champion of all that is good just because he's Sami Zayn.

New Day(c) vs Usos
Filler tag feud identical to WWE's build pretty much.

AJ Styles(c) vs Corbin vs Tye Dillinger
Filler 3 way identical to WWE's build pretty much.

Natalya(c) vs Charlotte
Filler feud identical to WWE's build pretty much.

Misc storylines that don't directly have a match but might
Rusev
Training in Bulgaria vignettes to redeem himself for his loss to Orton that involve RKOing randos and buying pets.

Zack Ryder
Upset with losing streak with Mojo

Breezango vs Aiden English
They are certain Aiden English is 2B and repeatedly challenge him to tag matches where he brings randos and leaves.
---

oh hey!
---

Alright, hoping I can make some headway on catching up to the current day with the holiday season.

Hell in a Cell 2017

In a match very similar to the original Hell In A Cell, The Usos d. Big E and Xavier Woods in a Hell in a Cell match to become the new Tag Champs. (68) Natalya d. Charlotte Flair to retain the Smackdown Women's Championship after a ref bump leaves Natalya free to whack Charlotte in the knees with a chair and apply The Sharpshooter to the crippled Charlotte. (48)

Ziggler vs Sami Zayn. Ziggler comes out with no music, straight up-- no record scratches. He intentionally wrestles the most boring match possible, spamming headlocks, despite Sami's best effort. Eventually the match is taken outside-- Ziggler drags Zayn wayyyy up the entryway with a MIGHTY HEADLOCK. He kicks Zayn in the knee at 7, then sprints to the ring and wins by countout (66) Ziggler cuts a promo on Sami Zayn, telling him that WINNING is the only thing that matters and that he too should stop caring about what these fans think. (61)

AJ Styles d. Baron Corbin and Tye Dillinger in a fairly bog standard title retention, getting the pin on Tye. Baron is Livid! (67)

Jinder Mahal is out there with Khali for the MAHARAJA Open Challenge! He does his usual spiel about how great he is, then calls anyone who happens to be in the back.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mCJhJ6EyAA

It's Heath Slater! He says he was traded to Smackdown this last Friday... and he's wasting no time. He taught Jinder Mahal everything he knows back in 3MB and he'll be taking the title RIGHT NOW BABAY!!! Jinder is incredulous that this JOKE would come out and address him as an equal-- he sends Khali away. He will defeat this hillbilly alone! (71) Heath Slater vs Jinder Mahal. Mahal dominates early, clearly putting his 3MB days well behind him... standard squash style, lots of taunting... but then... Slater isn't having this, he starts to actually get momentum and the crowd behind him. However... Jinder eventually cuts him off with a Khallas out of nowhere. 1... 2... Slater kicked out! Mahal is bug eyed, shouts the hell out of the ref for some time... Slater starts to stumble to his feet, Khali starts to take this into his hands and we see his figure lumbering towards the ring from the backstage area-- Slater starts to pick up the pace, he hits a flurry of offense on the arguing Mahal as the slow as hell Khali steps onto the apron-- Slater drop kicks him at the knees to knock him off, buying a few seconds, hits a snap mare face driver... 1... 2... 3! Slater is your new champion! (63)

Slater flees Khali, goes wild celebrating all over the place, shouting about how HE'S GOT KIDS etc etc-- Renee Young tries to get an interview with him, but he's pretty well incoherently shouting so she can't get much-- the audience eats it up though. 3MB! 3MB! He's got kids! He's got kids! (87)

Breezango vs Aiden English and Bobby Roode. Once Roode does his entrance, he's done here. He leaves Aiden in a 2v1. Breezango wins easily. (46) Breezango stand there looking at the fallen Aiden English... they sorta shrug, anticlimactic? A Rusev in Bulgaria vignette plays on the tron-- Rusev is RKOing more randos and shouting RUSEV MACHKA! We cut back to the ring... Fandango: "Breeze... 2B..." Breeze: "Hmmm..." Simulateously: "2... Bulgaria!" They dash towards the next lead. (65)

Randy Orton vs Shinsuke Nakamura. Competitive match. Orton ekes out a win by being the more wily, but without blatantly cheating. (75)

Shane McMahon vs Kevin Owens in HiaC. This is different from the normal match-- Owens takes most of it and it's much shorter though the climax is roughly the same. They tease jumps off, and Shane jumps off the damn cell onto KO who is on the announce tables, but misses the mark as Sami Zayn moves Kevin Owens out of the way, then puts him on top of Shane for the pin. (53) Shane is stretchered out, dead. No thumbs up here. (78)

Show Rating: 63 LOST MUCH POPULARITY DAMMIT SHANE
---

Random stuff:

- I hate this mod. Shane McMahon: "Sorry I won't do a Crazy Bump" yeah that's realistic. I actually just simulated the Crazy Bump by making the stretcher angle a major defeat high injury risk angle. I don't entirely like this solution but whatever. I probably would've got a less garbage rating for the match if Shane would've taken the damn bump too!
- Charlotte Flair and Jinder have begun dating.
- Lita and Cesaro have begun dating.
- Nakamura says "I'm liking what I hear from Heath Slater, there's money in his promos if given air time." Yeahhhhh if Shinsuke approves you can too.
---

Oh my god what have you done
---

It's funny if I'd done that on time it would probably seem like an improvement to what WWE was doing with Jinder/the title.

But now that AJ beat him it's probably not.

Oh I uh forgot to write up a part of that and was very close to the-- Jinder stormed to Shane's office before the end of a show and demanded his rematch clause NOW and Shane blew him off cause he had a match soon.

It's minor but it kinda matters for the story <_<
