My wrestling game idea: Backstory
This is to provide contest before I get into the actual idea of the game(s). I want to make two separate games that are in the same universe. The only difference is one major event that separates the two games. Although it’s not year specific, more like year 10 or year 6. But the main story that happens starts back in around 1980s, specifically 1983-1986. Where in 3 years, a Japanese wrestler who has raised to stardom from wrestling in Japans biggest promotion. This man had became a symbol in the land of the rising sun as a superhero, cartoons and comics were based after him. He regularly featured in blockbuster movies and hit tv shows and constantly was on radio and talk shows. With his success even flowing into the US where he would wrestle 3 matches in his entire career in the US in a time of a month. Against the top 3 biggest names at the time, all matches exceeding what was the expectations in America’s land of wrestling. He was a house hold name wether you watched wrestling or not. He was a man who built his success on hard work, honestly, and the laughter. By 1986 rolled around, he was a multi time world champion(holding the belt a total of 5 times in his career and his current reign being his longest of almost a year by the time 1986 was reaching its end), he had the tag titles on two occasions and held Japans minor titles numerous times. But it all came crashing down in the year of 1987.
Now you may be wondering what this characters name would be but to be honest I have no idea yet. Along with his greatest rival, so I’m asking to help me come up with two names for them but back to the story.
Around 1987, the man was at peak performance and in July 1987 he had held Japans world title for over a year now and had countless 5 star matches with about everyone. The company decided he would lose his title to his greatest story enemy but best friend in real life. Now the champs fighting style was basically a like an A.I.. As the match goes on, he would change his style to out wrestle his opponent. Being able to switch from a technical wrestler into a strong style then to a hardcore manic and end the match in his normal technical style. His opponent however was unpredictable. You didn’t know if he was coming in that match ready to out wrestle you or just out last you in a gruesome match. He was the perfect yin to the heroic yang. And one thing was for sure, he was becoming unstoppable and after winning a big match in June; he had earned a title shot. Now of course the match between the two was nothing short of a match of the history of wrestling. Lasting to up to 45 minutes, these men went through hell and to heaven and came back to Earth to make sure the crowd saw who finished. It was a shocker, the champ had lost and the title was now in the hands of a monster who was unstable. Of course this was the characters but the people behind the match were normal people who after their match settled their in ring beef and went out for a drink in the town like the friends they are.
The friends have a good dinner and enjoy their drinking. They left the bar late at night/early morning. This is where the story is changed depending on what game you play. Now this whole story won’t be told right away but rather in little bits and clips in dialogue and little secrets. But back to what happens...now I’ll explain what happens this night. An armed robber along with a crew, they are unnamed and don’t plan to be named, walks up to the two drunken men and begin to try and rob them. Now no one knows one is armed except the man himself. The wrestlers are able to fight some of them off but while they do the armed man is now on the floor and pulls out his gun. He aims it at the two men but since they are moving so much, he realizes he won’t be able to shoot both and he’s only shooting to escape. “BANG!” He took the shot.
Now if it was the people champ, the former champ, was shot the game is in a simulator like 80s Mania Wrestling with some pretty major differences but is like the same idea with getting wrestlers and booking them in shows. The game will take place in the 2000s of the universe. But after the events, the armed man and rest of the gang are sent to jail and end up dieing in prison(something doesn’t change in both stories). For the new champ, he relinquishes his new belt and prefers not to return to wrestling until 20 years later when the game starts. Where he decides he wants to become a booker rather than a wrestler. He creates on of the biggest wrestling companies in the world and is kind of the antagonist and rival in the game who you try to beat in ratings. Seeming like a man who just likes money, is actually a man who is only making his wrestling company for his fallen friend.
(Change in story)
Now the new champ, the unpredictable monster, had been shot. The game now is like a 2k game but instead of being 3D models it’s a game made in pixels. The game is now a storyline game. You pick characters and play their wrestling career. Starting at the match that shot them to stardom and will have to complete task to finish your career. You would have to do 10 mini challenges(example like start a feud with someone, or win a certain title) and 3 mega challenges(more specific challenges like you need to be in a certain fed and win a certain title while feuding with a certain person). You go through a local show to being into a developmental company who works for one of the bigger companies. Then from their you go to one of the big companies but their are 3 hugest companies who have two separate shows which if you are signed to one of these 3 companies, then every year they will have a draft and you will be put on one of their 2 shows. Their will also be a created character career where your coach will be a familiar face. The people’s champ. Who after the death of his friend, wrestled for a year or two but began to get into drugs after the lost of his friend. 20 years later he finally goes to watch a wrestling show and remembers his love for the sport. He begins a wrestling school where your character will begin his career. The champ will be by your side the whole story and in the end you will be inducted into the hall of fame of wrestling along with the former champ who was previously not allowed to be in the hall after he was looked down on by everyone for being unable to stop what happened that night so long ago then getting into drugs. Now of course during your path to stardom you and him wouldn’t always see eye to eye but their will be heart warming moments. Along with this game would be a universe mode that would work like the 2k games and even having the ability to take storylines where you want to take them where I think they had it in I believe 2k15 where you picked how certain rivalries would play out.
That’s all for the backstory and thoughts? I would love to know which storyline would be the most interesting and which game you’d play more as I would get into more details on how stuff would work.
