I went from outstanding to an E... oops!

At least you didn't spill coffee on Big Vince,

 

[Baz]

At least you didn't spill coffee on Big Vince,

I heard it wasn't Vince's best suit so you may get lucky.

 

[epic73]

Phew.

 

[Oaf]

Before getting on with the next bit I want to talk about... how you actually win this game! Because, yeah, it does actually have an end... it's not going to run forever.

The first way:
Be the last man standing. As this game goes on, careers will end. Injuries can cause early retirement and firings can happen. Should all other players be eliminated, you will automatically win the game! Hopefully, we won't go down this route... and instead, we'll have a winner through...

The Second way:
The Hall of Fame!

It is the dream of anybody who has ever laced up their boots to make it into the WWE Hall of Fame. The first player to make it into the Hall of Fame will be the winner. And, ultimately, that is your goal... so allow me to introduce to you... the Hall of Fame scoring system.

You must earn 10000 HOF points to get into the Hall of Fame. Bare in mind, this won't happen until Wrestlemania of any given year... so if you make it to 10000 points in May and somebody else makes it in January of the next year, they'll join you in the Hall of Fame that year. In that case, whoever has the highest number of points will be the "first ballot" entry and that person will be declared the winner.

So how do you get these points? See below:

Great Matches (bare in mind, this only accounts for NXT/WWE... having a B+ or better rated match in the PC won't count!):
B+ rated match: 50
A rated match: 100
A* rated match: 500
A** rated match: 3000

Moving up through the ranks:
First player to make it to NXT: 200
First player to make it to Raw: 400
Raw Debut – 100
PPV debut – 200

Championships:
Intercontinental/US/Tag title win: 100
For each month held: 50
WWE title win: 200
For each Month held: 100

Others:
Wrestlemania match: 100
Wrestlemania main event: 1000
Summerslam main event: 300
Any other PPV main event: 100
Have a “best of” Blu Ray released (must have 10 PPV matches rated B+ or higher!): 1000
Match of the year Slammy (highest rated match of a calendar year): 500
Superstar of the year Slammy (based on which wrestler has had the best year in my opinion): 500
Royal Rumble winner: 500
King of the Ring: 300

 

[Oaf]

As you may have noticed, "first player to make it onto NXT is there. Epic and Cas both made it at the same time, so they each get their first 200 HOF points! 200 down, 9,800 to go!

December 2016 - Random Events

Cas impresses in Training. Again. Fucking hell. This is like 3 months in a row now, isn't it? He gets one point to spend in either Strength or Agility. He has until 8pm tomorrow to spend it.

Luke is sat around backstage when he sees a half finishes Sudoku. Bored, he decides to finish it off... but manages to completely botch it and make a mess out of it. He throws it back on the table, giving up. Suddenly, Vince Mcmahon walks into the room and asks if anybody has seen his half finished Sudoku that he left laying around, because he was going really well on it and wants to finish it off. At this moment, Vince sees the ruined Sudoku, looks at Luke and puts 2 and 2 together. He is pissed.

 

[Oaf]

All Peformance Center Superstars have received +5 to their Wrestling Ability.

 

[Christian Slater]

Does that mean NXT call-ups missed out?

 

[Oaf]

Does that mean NXT call-ups missed out?

Yup. Once you leave the PC you lose that boost.

Right, waiting on one or two things from some PC wrestlers, so will skip those results for now... and move onto:

December 2016 - Cruserweight Classic

Quarter Final:
Techno Natch vs Ho Ho Lun

This match was very good... but it was pretty much SOLELY because of Ho Ho Lun. Natch was awful, once again, but Ho Ho put in the performance of a lifetime. They balanced one another to give an overall decent match. Natches little shock run came to an end here... he looked incredibly disappointed with himself upon being knocked out.

Match Rating: C

 

[Oaf]

December 2016 - NXT

Epic vs Christopher Girard

This match was an improvement from last week for Epic. Though this was more due to his opponent than his own efforts. Epic picked up the win with a tombstone.

Match Rating: D+

Cas vs Bronson Mathews

Another stinker for Cas. Cas actually did a bit better than Bronson here, but this match was poor. Suggestions around the internet suggest that it's possible that Cas has been called up to NXT too early...

Match Rating: E+

 

[Oaf]

December 2016 - Performance Center Matches

Christian Slater vs Baz

A good enough match to kick things off. Christian was particularly impressive here and he managed to pick up a pretty convincing win as well.

Match Rating: C-

Minsterman vs Luke

This match was good, but Minsterman was great. It's a shame that Luke actually put in a poor performance here, because if he was even half as good as Minsterman this could have been one of the best matches in PC history. Minsterman scored the win.

Match Rating: C

Mike vs Joe vs Spirederman

Joe was fantastic here but utterly let down by the other two. If even one of them had been half as good as Joe was it could have been a good match... if both have been half decent, Joe could have probably carried it into being great. Spirederman picked up the victory.

Match Rating: D+

Injury Report:

Awful news for Natch! Not only did he get knocked out of the cruserweight classic, he also suffered a severe spinal injury during his match! This was no mere knock... in fact, he was very close to not just seeing his career come to an end, but being paralyzed. He's luck to even be able to walk, let alone wrestle again at some time in the future. Also, while he will recover one day... his spine will permanently be weakened as a result of this injury. He will be out for a very long time, though... all in all, we are not likely going to see Natch able to compete in the ring again until, roughly, August of 2017...

In slightly less serious news, This Charming Mike also picked up a small knock to his knee, but he should still be able to compete.

 

[Oaf]

December in WWE:

This month see's WWE play host to The Slammys! Though in this game, only two Slammys matter... and here they are, as well as their winners:

Match of the Year 2016: Night of Champions 2016: Dean Ambrose vs Seth Rollins

Superstar of the Year 2016: Seth Rollins

December PPV - Armageddon

Armageddon was brought back this year, and along with it, the defining match of the Armageddon PPV... a 6 man Hell in a Cell!

6 man Hell in a Cell for the WWE Championship
Seth Rollins vs Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles vs Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn

In a hellish match that went all over the place, including outside of the cell structure, Roman Reigns was able to capture his 4th world championship after pinning Sami Zayn. This was met with a chorus of boos from the crowd in attendance.

 

[Oaf]

Right, Vinces top 5 and the top 5 over guys will hopefully come later tonight... or at least tomorrow. This will be followed by any possibly roster promotions/demotions.

 

[Baz]

An injury could easily turn out to be a good thing.....

WTF! OAF wasn't able to prevent Stagnificant from winning 1FF Wars by screwing us over so he's now targeting us individually in other games.

It was pretty unlucky. But that BUMPS rating of just 3 did come into play there...

 

[Christian Slater]

Regarding the recent introduction of the draft, will the main roster be segmented or will they be pooled as one? There's a new title to contend for.

 

[Techno Natch]

Yeah good point. I'll come back stronger.

Roster movements:

NXT:
Dash Wilder - Midcard > Upper Midcard
Scott Dawson - Midcard > Upper Midcard
Alex Riley - Upper Midcard > Midcard

WWE:
Big E - Upper Midcard > Main Event
Kalisto - Upper Midcard > Midcard
Enzo Amore - Midcard > Upper Midcard
Erick Rowan - Midcard > Lower Midcard
Bo Dallas - Jobber > Lower Midcard

Quite a lot this month as there was no movement last time.

 

[Oaf]

Regarding the recent introduction of the draft, will the main roster be segmented or will they be pooled as one? There's a new title to contend for.

As of now, there are no plans to copy the real life WWE and do a roster split. However, if I feel as if the game needs one later one (perhaps because all of you are clogging the main event scene along with the NPC main eventers) you may find yourselves getting drafted to try to spread things out a bit and stop it from becoming a bit too clogged.

So basically, I'm not planning to do it right now, but I may change my mind later

 

[Christian Slater]

So there's still going to be one world title?

 

[Oaf]

So there's still going to be one world title?

Yup.

 

[Christian Slater]

Reet. As a suggestion, in case you do end up doing it, how about creating a tournament for the Universal Title and give points like KotR but a little higher?

 

[Oaf]

Reet. As a suggestion, in case you do end up doing it, how about creating a tournament for the Universal Title and give points like KotR but a little higher?

Maybe. I'll decide down the line what to do with all of that.

But for now... NXT introduces 3 new superstars!

Christian Slater, Joe and Spirederman are all called up! And they're each going to have a hell of a task on their hands...

Christian Slater will go one on one with the NXT champion, Samoa Joe!

Joe (of the X4 variety, not the Samoan) will have his debut against the greatest man that ever lived, Austin Aries!

Spirederman will face the King of Strong Style, Shinsuke Nakamura!

The WWE Network runs a show based on select Wrestlers top 5 matches of all time and highlights of the matches are shown. On this weeks show, Epic was asked to rate his top five matches. He gave the following list:

Top 5 Matches
5. Triple H Vs REDACTED Vs Shawn Michaels - World Title Match
4. Shawn Michaels vs Kurt Angle - Vengeance 2005
3. Hulk Hogan Vs The Ultimate Warrior - WWF Title And IC Title Match
2. Edge And Christian Vs The Dudley Boyz Vs The Hardy Boyz - Tag Title TLC Match
1. Hulk Hogan Vs Andre The Giant - WWF Title Match (WrestleMania 3)

(I'm sure that's a very personal list and not just one that was googled )

 

[Oaf]

Some more info:

Now that a fair few of you are advancing beyond the PC, it's worth baring this in mind:

Each show can only hold so many matches in total. So you won't all be able to always all fit onto a card... so on some weeks, some of you may miss out on having a match. When deciding on who gets a match, recent form is taken into account... have a string of bad matches and you'll find yourself getting less air time. Have a string of classics and they won't be able to take you off of TV.

Your VINCE and OVERNESS ratings come into play for this as well, of course.

I'm intrigued whether "REDACTED" was posted by Epic or changed by yourself.
