Why a mod in 1993?
The reasons for wanting to make a mod set in 1993 is as follows
1. It's a challenging time for wrestling as a whole. Often referred to as The Dark Ages of wrestling by fans, not only is WWF struggling as the era of Hulkamania is coming to an end and a lack of future stars have been built. But WCW is faring no better. Wrestling in America is facing a down period at this point and it gives players ample opportunity to take the reigns of a company and try to make their own landscape from it.
2. The very first episode of Monday Night Raw airs in 1993. I thought it would be a cool opportunity for anybody who wanted to do a WWF game to book literally from the very first episode of Raw.
3. The New Generation could have been a fast paced, athletic and technical masterclass of wrestling, if it weren't for the horrid gimmicks and clutching on to the style of the eighties. Who knows how the New Generation could have gone? Now you can try and find out for yourself.
My Process.
I'm going to focus on the most notable companies that ran shows during this period and making sure I get their rosters as historically correct as I can. I may end up not including every company that was actually running as a result in the beta period of this mod once it is released but I want to focus on the companies I can find the most information on first.
Once the mod is released as a BETA I would happily take any and all forms of feedback and criticism to apply changes and make improvements until working towards a final release that everybody can enjoy.
What I'm Asking You
Any assistance that can be provided in my research phase as I fill up rosters would be immensely appreciated.
