Match observations:

World Championship Wrestling has a world champion, and his name
is Tom Zenk, Z-Man.

What a story to be told. Z-Man, who was not even to scheduled to
wrestle walks out the world champion. In what can be called the
biggest upset in WCW to date, Z-man defeats the odds favorite to
win, Sting, in the first round. He then comes back to beat Big
Van Vader in the quarterfinals. Rick Steiner could not stop him
nor could the man he faced in the finals, Steve Williams. Congrats
go to Z-Man. Just how long can he stay on top?

The Barbarian no shows! Z-Man gets his break off of Barbarian
not showing up. WCW President Bill Watts has told reporters that
he has infact talked with Barbarian and that punishment is in store.
The biggest of course is the fact he misses out on his shot to
become the world champion. Watts has fined Barbarian a good amount
of cash and has also told him that he isnt going to see much
main event action either.

Scott Steiner versus Terry Gordy was the match of the night bringing
in 4 stars! Many people didnt see this as a big match on the card but
these two men showed them how good they can wrestle. I am sure the fans
were not dissapointed. Lets see how their fan base does after tonight.

A great night is down in the history books. Lets see what happens
next...

I guess only in TNM does someone like Tom Zenk win the world title. So much for him being a jobber for me.

I did has his push at 75. Should it be lower? Sting is at 100. Zenk beat him in round 1....

Do you have strict pushes checked? Either way, 75 is a bit high for a jobber.

Also, sometimes stuff like that will happen, it is a sim after all. :) Only real way you can make sure somebody does the J.O.B. is to book the ending.  It depends on what kind of TNMer you are.  Some people like leaving everything unbooked and let the sim do it's thing in all it's glory, some like to book all the endings like you would in real life, and some enjoy a combination of the two.

Glad to have you aboard the good ship TNM *salute*

yeah i have read of crazy stuff happening so this is going to take some creativity to work around. i am leaving it just to sim to see what happens and build from there.

i don't know if ya saw but Liger beat Muta in less than a minute. only in sim land. lol...
