Nice to see you playing some PWS. Even though it is lacking compared to TEW it is by far and away a smoother experience and so much easier to play and understand everything that is going on.

[@thefrenchted]

Yeah! I'm still learning to PWS ropes so any advice would be great!

[@danielmason9465]

@@thefrenchted The biggest thing is the angles. Each angle can have multiple angles (storybeats) and do not have to have separate angles setup for each thing. I am not 100% but I have noticed that it seems to be used against you if you do multiple angles back to back instead of a single angle with multiple story beats.

Nicole Bass was the guy with Jason, "the world's sexiest man." Rhyno didn't show up in ECW until start of '99. A friendship with MichPro to get some of those wrestlers in on loan, although i think realistically, any deal there had ended by 98.

[@thefrenchted]

Yesss that was it! Nicole Bass! Well, we're not planning on following in Paulie's exact footsteps so there will be some different/early/late signings in my series. I feel like we can exploit this "company friendship" tool...

[@VinceAwesomeGaming]

also another note, by this point, Heyman owned ECW, as he bought out Gordon in '95.. that's when it went from Eastern Championship wrestling to Extreme Championship wrestling.. with an excellent start as Shane Douglas wont the NWA championship and threw it on the ground and held up the new ECW title, and thus kicking off EXTREME Championship Wrestling.

[@VinceAwesomeGaming]

Great start... Note: That ECW during the late '90s was broadcasted on Madison Square Garden Network (MSG Network) normally REALLY late at night, like 1am or 2am, not live obviously, taped. Maybe you can get a deal going for that if you want to stay true to "how it was". Also, Bam-Bam was sort of the leader of the triple threat, due to he was a bigger name then Shane at the time.

[@thefrenchted]

Thanks for the information. I'm keen to start as true as possible, but from episode two onwards it's all original ideas. That network isn't in game, so i'll stick with what I can source from the current in game network, etc. Thanks for the information RE Bam Bam - i've big(elow) plans for him

[@VinceAwesomeGaming]

@@thefrenchted yes I suspected as much on the network.. a lot of little things are missing on certain mods

[@tardismechanic2319]

I picked up this game and I agree, this is much smoother than TEW but then also lacks a bit of the depth. I'm really enjoying it so far, as am I enjoying the videos!

[@C79284]

PWS. Awesome. Good start, looking forward to your first booking.

[@MelonarchyDan]

Looking forward to this, definitely a change of scenery from TEW and ECW should be good booked under you

[@TheFerry7791]

Interesting to see. Wouldn’t mind seeing a playthrough of this with the original database.

[@danielmason9465]

Would be decent. Only issue is unlike the C-Verse, the default is very small and not well setup. There are a few C-Verse conversions though and there is a pretty easy way to convert any of them over to PWS but requires MS Access'

[@TheFerry7791]

@@danielmason9465 Ah, then I'd rather wait.

[@Mikebeerman]

Should bring over Hayabusa for a few shows

[@instantclassic9232]

Ecw exclusively on the spanish channel is electric

[@Cabraizinho]

Can't wait for a new episode! Just a little advice: you should definitely set Minor Pyro in Production settings, +5% of score for 10k $ is quite good!

[@thefrenchted]

I was thinking that...

[@sharpshooterstudios]

EC-DUB! EC-DUB! EC-DUB! This is so cool! Can't wait for the next episode Ted! Keep up the awesome work!

[@thefrenchted]

Yes my boy! I'm looking forward to getting stuck in!

[@JosB1991]

Never heard of PWS! I am going to check it out as TEW is long sometimes.

[@lastsongaming17]

This is awesome! Love the content! I agree that PWS is lacking behind TEW currently, but the developer is working hard to update it! I think it will be as good or better soon! I don't know if popularity works the same way as TEW, I haven't tested it out that much yet.

[@thefrenchted]

I agree. PWS has a bright future and I look forward to see the heights it can grow to!

[@thefrenchted]

RE pop, it's not like this in TEW. I've pulled of 80+ rated shows with minimal production and a size of "small" numerous times

[@lastsongaming17]

@thefrenchted You should check out the angle mod on the workshop. PJ89's is really good with some great promotion specific angle templates. I have seen some ECW specific ones like intros and things. The ease of getting mods in this game is one of the best parts!

[@thefrenchted]

@lastsongaming17 oooh didn't think of that - I'll look to include that! Thanks!

[@danielmason9465]

Yeah the popularity is significantly different than how TEW works. In questions concerning doing things like Local to Global, the dev has stated that it is nearly impossible because the popularity works on a continent basis instead of regions like TEW. He did state that would be something they take a look at in the future.

[@dylancameron7257]

This will definitely be interesting as seems very different from TEW but looking forward to see how ECW goes

[@Mikebeerman]

Yes Douglas was leader of the triple threat 😊

[@goodslayer3377]

Thanks for this video I usually play PSW and sometimes I can't find how to put together good stories. I could use some videos like this and obviously continue the series. good luck and encouragement. great things can be done here in psw

[@thefrenchted]

Thanks! Hopefully I can meet your expectations!

[@goodslayer3377]

To be honest, I would like a company like the one you did at TEW2020. In current times, for the future of course you can't get saturated with things to do either.

[@entitygod7940]

Love to see cima in the series

[@thefrenchted]

Noted!

[@Wrestler91846]

Excitinggggg 🇫🇷🧸

[@Eidenhoek]

Big Smack Scott woulda been dimes in ECW

[@thefrenchted]

Who? I'mma have to look him up!

[@Eidenhoek]

@@thefrenchted Default TEW database. He's...I *guess* he's maybe that universe's...I think he'd be New Jack-esque.

[@devongiguere3721]

Push Hayabusa to the moon please and thank you. Honestly, with your FMW parternership, I am really looking forward to seeing how you incorporate their workers. Maybe an invaison angle or something with Hayabusa leading a FMW faction

[@thefrenchted]

Hayabusa is high-abusa on my list! I reckon the FMW guys will features as often as i'm allowed to!

[@obitavora7478]

cant wait for more

[@pocid5207]

So excited for this series! In I’m trying to get into booking games. In your opinion so far would you recommend PWS or TEW for beginners?

[@thefrenchted]

PWS for beginners 100%, BUT TEW has so much depth, it's worth sinking your teeth in!

[@Mikebeerman]

Chetti is actually related to Taz they are cousins

[@thefrenchted]

Noted!!

[@jakebloor8947]

what mod are you using?

[@thefrenchted]

I believe it's called the "Who's Next 1998" mod in the Steam Workshop with a few minor tweaks from me

[@punchy5668]

Love to see a ecw save are u continuing the nwa series?

[@thefrenchted]

NWA series is on hold at the moment until I find the motivation to pick it back up - might turn it into a fortnightly thing or something, but it's not dead
