After a LONG time away, I have been playing around with doing a 1983 Territory dynasty.
Some info on the setup:
- I finally got SockWulf's awesome MM3 Match Maker plugin to work with Build 9, and for 95% of the shows I will let MM3 provide the matchups. The only matches I will setting up will be feud matches.
- Also using one of SockWulf's older Excel Financial Fed sheets to help with Push adjustments as well some additional storyline events.
- I have also been working on a work rate adjustment sheet where work rates can go up and down depending on in-ring performance. The idea of this is shown below.
- This dynasty will also be 100% unbooked while using strict pushes. This will create some choas I am sure, but I think it will create more interesting storylines.
- Since this idea is so immense (especially in my head) in scale, there will be no detailed matches, merely card overviews and necessary storyline events.
- I am merely in the planning stages at the moment, I have downloaded the NWA Territory Export pack, however it seems as that is geared more toward the late 80's as I am finding I am needing to make adjustments to relate to the 1983 years.
- I'll be working on rosters over the next week or so for the various territories. I don't think I will go all out and try to do them all, but I will catch the major ones (WWF, AWA, GCW, CWF, MACW, Mid-South, WCCW, Central States along with a few others. I will initially be posting starting rosters along with push / work rate ratings so if you as a community feel certain wrestlers should be adjusted for this time period - by all means let me know. This thread will be mainly for setup and community input, with the actual universe in another thread later on.
- This is, in a way a type of celebration of TNM for me. So I am happy to have input from everyone as far as things you would possibly like to see. SPOILER: Yes, I plan on keeping Hogan away from WWF.
The work rate chart basically gives each worker a star range of what can be expected when he enters the ring.
According to my chart, a 60 Work Rate wrestler should have a match between a -3/4 * and * 1/2 rating. He is facing a wrestler with an 80 work rate, which according to the chart, should fall within 3/4 * and ** 3/4.
If the match is a ** 1/2, the 60 Work Rate would go up 1 (match rating - maximum expectancy), while the 80 work rate would stay the same.
If the match is a * 1/2, both wrestler would stay the same.
Work Rate changes only happen whenever wrestler cross over whole numbers, however these match increases/decreases will accumulate over time. So say for example, the match gets a ** rating. The 60 Work Rate would only go up by 1/2 so no actual change would take place. But if he happens to get another 1/2 improvement - he then would get a work rate increase.
The opposite also can happen. So in the example above, the match gets a -1/2 * rating. The 60 Work Rate would stay the same, while the 80 Work Rate would lose 1 (banking the potential .25 loss).
I know this probably sounds complicated, confusing and convoluted - but the new NWA Power show got the old timers wrestling juices going again.
