I posted this in the game ideas forum but not many people go there so I'm posting it here to get the wrestling fans point of view on it all. Remember this is just the basic idea and not the full thought through idea.

Been thinking of a few game ideas lately, some have been a bit poor and not worth posting but earlier I was
discussing this idea with one of my friends (who was helpful as he has been a wrestling fan since the days
of hogan, ultimate warrior, bret hart etc). Yes it is a wrestling game, but not like the others and most likely
will only appeal to wrestling fans old and new.

The game features classic wrestlers such as:
Hulk Hogan
Ultimate Warrior
Bret Hart
Andre the Giant
Million Dollar Man
Legion of Doom
Shawn Michaels and so on and also most of todays big stars who can be seen on the weekly tv shows
and pay per view events.

Wrestling manager allows you to choose the old classics or the up to date wrestlers and then you must
pick your roles from the following.
1. Manager
2. Match scheduler
3. Event organiser
4. Wrestling owner


1. As the manager of your wrestler you must negotiate wages, matches and arrange public appearances to
increase their fan base.
2. As match scheduler you must arrange matches, title fights, rising stars appearances, back stage set
ups etc for each of the weekly shows.
3. As event organiser you have to organise the pay per view events such as wresltemania and king of the
ring. You must schedule matches, which wreslters to include, types of matches, venue, ticket prices etc.

All of these are small parts, the main game is all this combined in number 4. Wrestling owner.

You must take the vince McMahon role, you must decide how much to pay wrestlers, which wreslters to
keep and which to get rid off, which wreslters are to sign autographs after shows. You must also schedule
matches or hire others to do so. Also hire all the staff required, sign up new shows. In other words run the
show, make sure things turn out right.

The game is slightly based on the championship manager style games except it is for wrestling, you must
compete with other wrestling organistations for viewers, fans etc and try be the best. You can buy stars
from other organisations, sell stars and even create stars names and images which can then compete with
the big boys of wrestling.

I know the idea is fairly basic so far, this is where you can help to offer suggestions and improvements.
Also is it a good idea or not worth the hassle?

You could just d/l the secario and extract it to the Prom Wars 1.2E file. It's basically the draft. I took over from Vince on SmackDown. It's cool, you can get superstars from the RAW brand on SmackDown and stuff like that. Worth d/ling, and basically, although not as good as, Prom Wars 2.
