Beast, how can you not remained motivated?
I want to detail the Flair storyline now that it's reached its conclusion.
First of all, in this file, I am responsible for WWF going national, much earlier than the real WWF did. I am also responsible for setting up the brand split, about 20 years before its time.
With two primetime television shows on USA network, I use one for the WWF show we all know about, and the other show to highlight real wrestling, like NWA/AWA/Mid South/Mid Atlantic. Of course both brands do have variety of different workers.
As I've mentioned, I was running the Mania 4 type tournament to crown a new champion of the expansion era (so I ran the tourney instead of the symbolic Hogan over Sheik booking). The idea was that WWF wanted to start off their new era with a big bang, and they got one unexpectedly, in the form of the invasion of the Four Horsemen, led by Ric Flair. Flair threatens the WWF that if he wins the title, he will not give up his touring commitments, and therefore WWF would risk having their world champion not be at their shows as often as they would prefer. Basically its a similar angle as the Summer of Punk, only except the heel role is written to be a wily intelligent technician with boatloads of charisma who can talk people into things and those he can't talk into, he has the Horsemen send a message with beatdowns. This went on for a few months, before Mania I rolled around. Flair makes a dominant showing here, as the opponents' familiarity for Flair is nonexistent, and its like wrestling an awesome wrestler you have no idea how to defend or attack. On the other side of the bracket, I had Hogan as the chosen hero of the WWF going through his side of the tourney, and I also have Randy Savage playing the tweener. He hates Hogan being considered "the guy" instead of himself, but he can't let Flair walk out with the belt. So Savage puts in his dominant run as well. First I had Hogan/Savage blow it off in the semis, with Hogan winning and Savage begrudgingly accepting a handshake and celebrates with Hogan. In the finals, it was Ric Flair defeating Hulk Hogan, after the Horsemen interferred, but was driven out by Savage, Beefcake and Steamboat. Beefcake and Steamboat gives chase, leaving Savage to mill around ringside, before costing Hogan the match, preventing a leg drop on Flair and then hitting him with a chair, causing him to fall forward, making him susceptible to Flair locking on the Fig 4. Postmatch, just to make sure his intention is clear, Savage grabs the belt, and after teasing handing the belt over to Flair, he takes it for himself. He declares that it's better for him to hold the title hostage, as to ensure Flair never leaves with the belt. Savage also mentions that the only way he will let the belt go is if someone beats Flair for it (belt would be absent from the match) OR Flair defeats Savage 1 on 1, which Macho is confident won't happen.
That's what I got so far. I'll follow up on the Savage deal for the summer program.
