Re: Grey Dog Software Releases Total Extreme Wrestling 2008

I tried that HurryUp database or whatever, and it isn't horrible. It's definitely playable. I'm CWF-MA (yeah, I had to look them up too), with Paul Orndorff(!!) as the owner. My current champions:

CWF-MA Champ: Elix Skipper
CWF-MA Extreme Challenge Champ: Ron Reis
CWF-MA Tag: 8-Bit Duo (Player Uno and Player Dos (Dirty Money))

I'm grooming Uno for the top Championship, though. He's a UM, but I'm going to bump him up to the ME scene as soon as I get The Barbarian (who Elix is currently feuding with) out of there. I had Jimmy Valiant, but I quickly debuted "Jonny Valiant", his son, and he's currently feuding with "Jeff Orndorff" (Paul's son). I've got one of the younger Von Erich's too, so that might end up being fun. Kind of like Dusty's son, and now Million Dollar Man's son in WWE. Ron Reis is my monstrosity, he actually fought off like 3 people interfering in his last match to retain his title.

This game is so much better than 07, but it's not all huge changes.

Do you know/have a pic pack that works with it?

There should be one in the HurryUp Thread or whatever it is. It isn't perfect but it's not bad.

Re: Grey Dog Software Releases Total Extreme Wrestling 2008

I've never played this game before but it sounds pretty fun. Can someone explain it to me a little more please? I'm assuming it's a text-based simulation? Thanks.

It's a text based sim that simulates being a booker in the wrestling industry. You hire/fire workers, write storylines, etc. You'd be best off reading some of the developer logs at the forums over at GDS, and then trying the demo. It's hard to really explain all of the game. There are a ton of little nuances it has within it.

GIGGAS have you tried the 2013 mod yet? its awesome. Some dudes named John Dalton, Tommy Marzilli, Bryan Washington, and of course Harry Smith are just BEASTS in this mod.

Like "Competitive Edge", right?

I agree with you, btw.
