Reached 35 years on my current save, unfortunately reached the point where it has saved issues. Guessing the save data has got too big. Had just semi started a WWF V NWA storyline that was to including people choosing their side and eventually unification matches, (I formed WWF in 1963 took over NWA as a second brand in 1976)

Any recommendations on which scenario to play if I do stop this save, I've previously played dawn of wrestlemania (from 84-2012) and Dawn Of Monday Night Wars

Really wanted this to get to modern day, may still carry it on just saving locally will be more annoying if lose progress.

Don’t hate me let me cook.

(Due to NWA being brought out by WWF in 1976 and the original NWA Tag Team championships being retired in the game some history is unable to be looked up)

By far my favourite created tag team in all my saves on JOW. Created due to a lack of tag teams especially babyface tag teams, Red Bastien and Red Mckim two babyfaces with no direction formrd Red Dead Redemption in 1959.

Giving them a "bad ass babyface cowboy" gimmick the two became the longest running team of the save, 20+ years together as a team winning their first Tag Team titles in the NWA in May 1959.

They held the NWA Tag Team titles twice before I left the NWA to form Elite Pro Wrestling Japan in 61.

Forming the WWF in 63 they were one of the first teams I signed.

Red Dead won their first WWF Tag Team titles in July 1964.

The first Wrestlemania was 1966 and the teams second WWF Tag Team Title reign was ended by Antonio Inoki and Giant Baba, after the match the two teams showed a huge amount of respect towards each other.

Although two years later at Wrestlemania 3 was the first time Red Dead won the WWF Tag Team Titles at Wrestlemania, winning them from Mad Dog Vachon and Butcher Vachon in a violent bunk house match, the two teams meeting in various gimmick matches over the years.

Summerslam 1970 Red Dead lost to Gorilla Monsoon and Killer Kowalski in a barbed wire steel cage first blood match, the first in WWF as their year long feud finally came to a end.

The team would always feature in big 4 V 4 or 5 V 5 tag team matches, and were always two of the top babyfaces on the roster.

Red Bastien won the Royal Rumble in 71 and went on to win the WWF World Heavyweight championship from Nick Bockweinkel, that same Wrestlemania Red Mckim won the US championship from Stan Stasiak. Although Mckims US title reign was cut short due to a long injury.

Mckim returned from that injury to win The Royal Rumble the next year, Wrestlemania 7 was Red Dead V Red Dead as Red Bastien successfully defended his title, the two shook hands and hugged after the bell.

Red Bastien held the WWF World Heavyweight championship for 13 months his reign was ended by André the Giant in May 1971.

The two would always team up with Bruno, Dory Funk JR, Dusty Rhodes and others in big main event tag team matches as well as occasionally wrestling solo at times, they won the WWF Six Man Tag Team Titles twice, once with Dusty Rhodes and once with Dory Funk JR.

Wrestlemania 12 1977 it had been SIX long years since the team had held tag team gold and they won them here in a bull rope match against The Wild Samoans in a match that is still one of the highest rated in WWF history winning "Craziest match of the year" at the in game awards.

This title reign is at it stands the longest in WWF history at 19 months long with 15 title defences.

The teams final rivalry was with André The Giant and Big John Studd of the Heenan Family who ended this reign winning the titles from Red Dead at Survivor Series 1977.

The two teams met in various gimmick matches, Red Dead always losing through distraction or cheating, Red Dead would always come out on top in 3 V 3, 4 V 4 or 5 V 5 matches.

With it being announced that at Wrestlemania 14 in 1979 that the WWF World Tag Team championships and WWF United States Tag Team Championships would be unified Red Deads only chance at revenge on André and Studd was to win the US Tag Titles to get into the unification match.

They defeated the holders the North and South connection (Adrian Adonis and Dick Murdoch) at Royal Rumble 1979, and finally defeated André and Studd at Wrestlemania 14 that same year.

Red Mckim shocked the world the next day announcing his retirement from Wrestling, the WWF US Tag Titles were retired and WWF Tag Team Championships declared Vacant.

Red Bastien at 48 continued to wrestle, was given a new look, long gray beard, long black coat and black hat, a old gunslinger/outlaw looking for one more shot at glory before he rides into the sunset.

He won The Royal Rumble 1980 and then at Wrestlemania 15 he won the WWF World Heavyweight championship for a second time in the main event winning the title from Ric Flair.

After retaining the title against Stan Hansen at Summerslam 80 Red shook his hand and endorsed him as the new big bad outlaw cowboy of the WWF.

Red held lost WWF World Heavyweight championship till Survivor Series 1980 when he lost it back to Ric Flair.

He was unsuccessful in a attempt to win the Royal Rumble in January of 1981, and faced a uncertain future.

The march event was renamed Red Dead Redemption in 1981, a tag team tournament set to name number one contenders for the tag team championships at Wrestlemania in honour of Red Dead Redemption, Red Bastien was the special guest referee for the final, after the match it was expected he would announce his retirement when Bruno Sammartino approached the ring.

He said before Red rides off into the sunset he wants to face him, for the first time one on one at Wrestlemania, Red accepted the match.

Wrestlemania 16 1981 Red Bastien defeated Bruno Sammartino, the two shook hands and hugged as Red Bastien announced his retirement, leaving his cowboy hat in the ring.

Hey all,

I mentioned previously that I'm building my first scenario, focusing on Uganda's own mud-and-dirt promotion, SGW. Here's where I'm currently at:

Roster
SGW doesn't list its roster anywhere that I can find (not even on its public-facing website), so I've been putting this list together from the matches available on Youtube. Wrestler's alignments and event statuses are, frankly, best guesses. If you have any better insight into anyone's alignment or status, please feel free to chime in.

There will be no default Main Event wrestlers, so that players can elevate their favorites to Top Dog status. Here's the roster as I have it so far:

Mens Upper Mid:
(Faces) Alexin Anoa, Coolman, Hamis Diamond
(Heels) Buffalo, Eddy Monster, Venom, Lord White (limited appearances)
(Neutral) One-Man Army, Jallah Trophy (limited appearances)

Mens Lower Mid:
(Faces) Atcent Riddle, Jordan Loverine, JB, Kapeeka, Sanjuki the Bull
(Heels) Andrew Porno, Martin Porno, Hoodlomb, Martin K
(Neutral) Bullet

Mens Jabronis:
(Face) Rasta Defense
(Heel) Musolini

Mens Tag Upper Mid:
(Face) Micro Stooges (Handsome & Rey Morgan)
(Heel) Crazy Dominions (Naguti & Eazy Huzaifa)

Mens Tag Lower Mid:
(Face) Mesh & Nemesis
(Heel) Built Better Business (Brian Jo & Mulefu)

Mens Tag Jabronis:
(Face) Sparkling Slayers (Eco Matrix & Deo)
(Heel) Dark Forces (Rango & Akram Big)

Womens Upper Mid:

Special Matches:
Ambulance, Handcuff, Boat, Gauntlet, In-Ring (SGW uses a regulation ring on special events only)

Recommended Special Segments (custom):
SGW Pledge of Honor (SGW wrestlers gather and recite their pledge)
Mob Justice (e.g. Part 1 of the Lord White arc)
Desecrated Grave (e.g. Part 2 of the Lord White arc)
Resurrection (e.g. Part 3 of the Lord White arc)
Good Friday Procession (SGW wrestlers participate in the Easter Pageant)
Colonialist Rant (Heel promo)
Anti-Colonialist Rant (Face promo)

...and that's everything so far! Including graphics, I'm about 1/3rd of the way through building this scenario.

How you can help:
Have I missed any major or relevant SGW wrestlers? Have I forgotten any special matches or segments? Are the tag team memberships accurate? Should the events be moved around? Can you believe they have an event called "Sperm Wars"? Who are your favorite or least favorite SGW performers? Or anything else that comes to mind!

Thanks in advance, I hope to have this ready for playtesting very soon
Cheers
-Jon
