We want Raven!! Lol
Beat Mankind “easily” at the December show and have him win the Rumble in January? I’m skeptical of the booking but willing to wait through Mania.
Trust me. I do too.
@Sancty are you planning on switching the simulation from 2K22 to 2K23 or would it be too much work?
Funny you mentioned that - I’ve just purchased WWE 2K23 for this very intent.
To be honest, I’ll be glad for some stability after the crashfest that WWE 2K22 is in Universe Mode

So my current working plan is to simulate up to WM 13 on WWE 2K22 while setting up WWE 2K23 in the background. This should hopefully give me the time to set up the rosters/teams/feuds etc so we can hit the ground running. I may have to kayfabe an injury or two if some created stars aren’t available yet for some of the more obscure guys.
JERRY SAGS RETIRES
- The infamous WCW injury bug continues as Jerry Sags has announced a shock retirement. Although he didn’t pick up any gold in the WWE or in WCW, as part of the Nasty Boys, Jerry Sags was a mainstay of the tag division in an era where authentic tag teams are getting fewer and fewer.
- Brian Knobbs will continue to work with WCW as a singles star.
MAIN EVENT SET FOR IN YOUR HOUSE
- Mankind def. WWF Hall of Famer Ravishing Rick Rude on Raw. This led to Scotty Flamingo coming out to chastise Mankind who may be beginning a bit of a face turn (by default) as the crowd is done with Scotty Flamingo. Flamingo chastised Mankind for beating an old man. Mankind asserted that he just beat a Hall of Famer and asked Flamingo if he could do that. Flamingo returned that he was a 3 time WWF World Heavyweight Champion. He can do anything. Mankind retorted that he’s never won the Royal Rumble. Whereas he beat 29 other men to win the match. Could Flamingo have beaten Rick Rude? “Sure”, Barry Windham? “You Know It”, Shawn Michaels? “Without a Sweat”, All in one night? “Read my lips: without breaking a sweat”
- At this point WWF President Gorilla Monsoon came out and made the match official for In Your House. In the Main Event, Scotty Flamingo must beat the rest of the Final 4 (Rude, Windham, Michaels) in a 4 Corners Elimination match for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship
- Also on this show, Bret Hart interfered in a match between Wildman Marc Mero & Scotty Flamingo allowing Flamingo to earn the win. Hart and Mero have been trading shots for weeks now.
- We also saw the shock return of the Legion of Doom as they easily defeated the Godwinns and Stone Cold continues his feud with Yokozuna.

FRICTION AT THE TOP FOR THE NEW WORLD ORDER
- There continues to be a sort of power struggle at the top of the New World Order between Hulk Hogan and Ted DiBiase. DiBiase continues to take verbal jabs at Hogan including telling Vincent to leave the bags because “Semi” will pick them up. This seems to be a shot that Hogan’s always in the Semi-Main Event slot on the card.
- DiBiase is the financial backing behind the nWo and this has paid off as he is the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. As he argued to Hogan on this week’s Nitro, things seem pretty good under his leadership, the nWo have all the gold
- Hogan continues to get bigger crowd reactions and brought up that it wasn’t the ‘sleeperhold heard round the world’ that formed the nWo, it was the ‘legdrop heard round the world.’
- Another sticking point for DiBiase seems to be Hogan’s uncleared recruitment of Roddy Piper into the New World Order.
- Everything’s coming to a head as we march towards SuperBrawl this Sunday, live on Pay-Per-View
The simulation is really determined to have Scotty Flamingo vs Mankind main event WrestleMania 13.
Even in a four way elimination match the title didn’t change hands.
Now THAT’S how you build a dream match ::ducks for cover::

Kerry Von Eric has now been a WWF and WCW champion. Love it!
He’s basically in the role that Roddy Piper would’ve been in if Piper hadn’t joined the nWo at Starrcade
