Hello, this is the first thread I've started here, essentially I'm using this website (https://www.journeyofwrestling.com/) and this game to book from Wrestlemania 1 upwards.
Because it's Journey Of Wrestling it won't be as descriptive as EWR. Only the Battle Royals and Elimination Matches.

Some caveats.

1. 99% of these wrestlers are real, some wrestlers JOW made up to use.

2. This isn't realism, MITB and EC are introduced earlier than usual.

3. Some wrestlers will get pushed because of merit, some because of goals.

I'll also be posting any TV title matches or contract results leading up to the PPV. Enjoy.

WRESTLEMANIA 1 (1985)

1. Bret Hart wins a Battle Royal

Final Four: Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Hillbilly Jim, Luke Graham. Luke Graham eliminated Hillbilly Jim, Davey Boy Smith eliminated Luke Graham, Bret Hart eliminated Davey Boy Smith

2. Villano III beat Lanny Poffo to retain his WWF Light Heavyweight Championship

3. Nikolai Volkoff beat Tito Santana to retain the Topple The King Contract

4. King Kong Bundy and Paul Orndorff beat The US Express to become the new WWF Tag Team Champions

5. Andre The Giant beat The Iron Sheik

6. Velvet McIntyre and Desiree Petersen beat The Glamour Girls to retain the WWF Women's Tag Team Championships

7. Roddy Piper beat Pedro Morales to retain the A Certain Classic Contract

8. Ricky Steamboat beat Greg Valentine to become the new WWF Intercontinental Champion

9. Big John Studd beat Cousin Elmer, Cousin Luke and Uncle Elmer in a 3 on 1 Handicap Match

10. Adrian Adonis beat Jimmy Snuka

11. Donna Christanello and Wendi Richter beat Mad Maxine and Peggy Lee Leather

12. (MAIN EVENT) Hulk Hogan beat Bob Orton Jr to retain his WWF Championship.

At some point I may institute a predictions tournament for the PPV and whoever wins will get to choose the winners starting from 2002 seeing as I've booked from 1985-2001 already.
Any thoughts or comments would be much obliged, thank you for reading.

Last Edit: Nov 19, 2024 10:59:20 GMT 1 by armandopayne94: To put it in line with the other formatting. Also to make it more readable.

Using Journey of Wrestling can be fun to do some sandbox-ey booking. Is that the Mid-South '85 scenario?

Some good matches in the Wrestlemania I card: Giant vs. Sheik stands out as something different. Adonis beating Snuka is something I didn't expect, but cool, I guess.

A small question: what's the Topple The King contract? And the A Certain Classic contract?

No this is The Dawn Of Wrestlemania save. I'll be honest with you, I've kinda forgot what those contracts were I believe it's like it's maybe crowns and the winner of The Wrestling Classic tournament respectively. You'll see me push Adrian Adonis massively this year because one of the goals this year was Make Adrian Adonis a Main Eventer.

OK so I looked further afield and the holder of the A Certain Classic Contract would get a WWF Championship shot at The Wrestling Classic. That's the purpose of that contract.

To make my predictions for Battle Royals and Royal Rumbles easier I'm only ever going to list the Final 4 in said Battle Royal or Royal Rumble, it's never going to be Others. (I've decided that the winner of the prediction contest will be able to book any match for the next PPV (So this one will be This Tuesday In Texas 2002)) Also all predictions are 1 point apart from Main Event predictions which will be 2 points.

SUMMERSLAM 1985 PREDICTION THREAD

1. Blackjack Mulligan V Junkyard Dog V Mike Rotundo V Terry Gibbs V Others in a Battle Royal Match

2. La Parka (C) V Tito Santana for the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship

3. Paul Roma and Lanny Poffo V The British Bulldogs

4. Mad Maxine and Peggy Lee Leather (C) V Donna Christanello and Velvet McIntyre for the WWF Women's Tag Team Championships

5. David Sammartino & 2 Cold Scorpio V The Dream Team

6. Jesse Ventura V Pedro Morales

7. Hulk Hogan (C) V Paul Orndorff for the A Certain Classic Contract

8. Ricky Steamboat (C) V Bret Hart for the WWF Intercontinental Championship

9. Hercules V Swede Hanson

10. Wendi Richter (C) V Sherri Martel for the WWF Women's Championship

11. Andre The Giant and Rick Martel V King Kong Bundy and Roddy Piper

12. (MAIN EVENT) Adrian Adonis (C) V Randy Savage for the WWF Championship.

I'LL GIVE YOU 24 HOURS TO SAY YOUR PREDICTIONS.

My graphic card crashed down last night but, fortunately, you don't need one to access the forum. So, here goes nothing!

1. Junkyard Dog (I don't know what he's like in the game but I think he's very underrated because of WWF run - he used to be big in the South)

2. Tito Santana (still young enough in 85 to be a star)

3. The British Bulldogs (always had a soft spot for the Bulldogs)

4. Mad Maxine and Peggy Lee Leather (I know very little about women's wrestling in the 80s, so I'm going for the champion here)

5. David Sammartino & 2 Cold Scorpio (not sure about this one but 2Cold is one of my favourite wrestlers so...)

6. Jesse Ventura (I quite liked Morales so I hope I'm wrong here)

7. Paul Orndorff (tough one to call as they both lost earlier but having Hogan chase Orndorff could be an option here)

8. Ricky Steamboat (I'm willing to bet it's still too early for Bret)

9. Hercules (because, why not?)

10. Sherri Martel (Sherri was such a cool gal that I hope you'll give her the title)

11. King Kong Bundy and Roddy Piper (not the most likely option but I can't vote against the Hot Rod!)

12. Adrian Adonis (Adonis has been pushed hard and a win at a major ppv could cement his place in the main event)

Survivor Series is interesting because I'm going to give people the same 1 point for a win, 2 points for a Main Event Win but for elimination matches I'll give you a point for how many survive, a point for correct survivors and 3 points if you get it exact (Like say if you said Team A beats Team B 2-0 with let's say Frankie Kazarian and Michael Cole surviving, but Team A wins 3-0 with Frankie Kazarian, Rosa Mendes and Michael Cole surviving you'll get 2 points for predicting Frankie Kazarian and Michael Cole but if Team A wins 2-0 with Frankie Kazarian and Michael Cole Surviving you'd get 6 points but if Team A wins 1-0 with Scott Stanford surviving you'd get 0 extra points because you didn't predict the 1-0 or the Scott Stanford, if that makes any sense?)

SURVIVOR SERIES 1985 PREDICTION POST

1. Miguel Feliciano, Charlie Fulton, Dennis Stamp, Steve Gatorwolf and Lanny Poffo V Steve Lombardi, Tony Garea, Cousin Junior, Cousin Luke and Jules Strongbow in a 10 Man Elimination Tag Match.

2. Ivan Putski, The Executioner and Fishman V Tony Atlas, Salvatore Bellomo, Jose Luis Riviera, Rick McGraw, Uncle Elmer, Chief Jay Strongbow and Mike Rotundo in a 7 v 3 Handicap Elimination Tag Match.

3. Hercules, Rocky Johnson, Pedro Morales, SD Jones and Junkyard Dog V Matt Borne, Luke Graham, Bulldog Brower, Rene Goulet and George Steele in a 10 Man Elimination Tag Match.

4. Hillbilly Jim, Blackjack Mulligan, Tito Santana, Davey Boy Smith and Dynamite Kid V Pete Dougherty, Kim Duk, Terry Gibbs, The Missing Link and La Parka in a 10 Man Elimination Tag Match.

5. Swede Hanson, Paul Roma, Brutus Beefcake, Nikolai Volkoff and Jim Neidhart V Villano III, David Sammartino, B Brian Blair, Jim Brunzell and 2 Cold Scorpio in a 10 Man Elimination Tag Match.

6. Donna Christanello, Wendi Richter, Desiree Petersen, Velvet McIntyre and Joyce Grable V Mad Maxine, Judy Martin, Peggy Lee Leather, Leilani Kai and Sherri Martel in a 10 Man Elimination Tag Match.

7. (MAIN EVENT) Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, Ricky Steamboat, Rick Martel and Randy Savage V Greg Valentine, King Kong Bundy, Paul Orndorff, Adrian Adonis and Roddy Piper in a 10 Man Elimination Tag Match.

I'LL GIVE YOU 24 HOURS TO SAY YOUR PREDICTIONS.

Just a quick clarification regarding JOW the survivors are randomized (I just pick the side that wins not who eliminates who) and also the Elimination Tag has the lists of guys getting eliminated and survivors whereas the Survivor Series Matches don't. That's why with the exception of one upcoming year every Survivor Series matches will be Elimination Tags apart from Survivor Series matches.
