Tange9t but Do Not Steal

the girlies hate me for my cinematic parallels to past events with my eternal rival, both of us now much older and wearier than we were the last time we stood exactly where we're standing

For DRYVE Guy, Hammond was going to win it from Solomon at 17, but Philis Maximus would cash in after the match to immediately take it from him. The three would have a triple threat on 18 which Hammond would win, then he was losing it to Ethan Styx at 20. I didn't have it booked out from there yet.

At 20, Cassidy was going to win it, then at 22 Caitlin would win it from her through Throne shenanigans, she was probably going to hold it for a while.

For DRYVE Gal, Brody Boucher was winning it at 18 after cashing in her DRYVER's Seat in a backstage brawl after Violet get attacked by Acacia and Brandon. They'd have a rematch on 19 which would be thrown out because the Queen (that is, Caitlin Harrison) would attack her mid-match and unmask.

30's as far as I had anything pencilled in, incidentally. Most of the stuff that was hard on paper like this was world title type stuff. That said, here's what was booked for 20 as a bonus, since most of it was in already.

25, he loses the title to Lance Murdock, because the coalition doesn't mean shit when the world title's on one of their own. And on 30, Yukita, who's been in it for himself the entire time, takes it from him in turn...

But Yukita joins instead, ostensibly for his own self interests but he does join. Eventually, the deck gets stacked just enough with the addition of Lance Murdock that Simon manages to take the title from Akira at 24. But the coalition was all about its own interests.

Simon Clausen and Alexander Makarios form a coalition to stop this from happening, and they approach Skyler Altus. Skyler Altus refuses to join, and in so doing causes the main event of 20 to be a triple threat which Akira retains in, really fucks the whole thing up.

So heading into DRYVE 20, the Brotherhood have a fucking death grip on most of the titles. Jeanne's looking to grab the Prime Notorious Monster title, Solomon & Alan have the A-Div tag belts, Akira has the A-Div world belt. It's not looking good to be in the A-Division.

For the A-Division, the plan on Prime was for Yukita to win the title immediately. As far as I had booked out, he wasn't losing it. Similarly, that was eventually the plan in DRYVE, but that wasn't happening for a while, and we have to get there first, which is going to take a bit of doing.

Alas, I hard pivoted when I knew things were shutting down because I was dead set on Abby having the title at least once, to me she'd been the face of DRYVE from the start so it was important to me that I made that happen, at least.

I was glad at least that Aimi was positioned to be able to believably take it from her. Her reign was also supposed to be quite a bit longer when that pivot happened, she was going to hold it until 30, which was going to be her second defence against Abby after the first went to time limit.

The long plan there was to run a feud between Oseiko and Brennan where the latter would capture the title eventually, obviously there was repurposing here and she was going to have a longer feud with Jamie on DRYVE instead until things went down like they did.

A big part of the reason Prime ended up being one and done was that I had a big plan for the Z-Div World Title that got completely scuttled when Oseiko insisted upon defending it live on DRYVE where she lost it to Jamie. Roster loss bled it out too, though not as much as SOS had, not nearly.

Scrapped plans thread, why not?

oh it was also touring, the first one was in london, the second in birmingham and the third was "in america"

story of eastern birmingham was going to have normal rules instead of the ISSW rules DRYVE usually used, while phantasmagoria of ash. queen was going to use, to quote the booking document, "queen's rules (figure out what these are later)"

I fully wanted it to be a comedy-type gimmick, as seen by the card for Highly Responsive to Chairs (and Stairs!), a show wherein every match was a custom match where countouts were on but there were no DQs and all the weapons were chairs

smaller no-stakes goofy shows that could be run live so that I could still do that every now and then without fucking anything up, I think my plan was to specifically record the main events and everything else just goes, I had it set up so one would happen every 5 DRYVEs, first was after 20.

create a championship too, i feel like any colour except black on the strap part shows up about 10x brighter in reality than it does in the creation suite for some reason and it's very annoying.

I dream of being able to nuke the WWE branding from the interesting stage parts one day, and also of a return of arena textures,

Done for now, might poke around some more after I sleep.

I don't remember if this particular crunchy pickle arena got used or not, it probably did, but I made this one too

I never got around to putting logos on it and I think it was still WIP outside of that but I made a PHOENIX arena in 2k23 also in case Stardy wanted to run it on that. Crucially, I will just make arenas if given even the slightest prompt.

Speaking of titles that never appeared, over on 2k23 this one never appeared on account of being stolen twice in one night, first by Frauenkampf and then by The Ashen Throne, those being the SydeShow Z-Division tag titles.
