"Vince Russo was used too much on this show"
Your profile pic fits the comment
What a jabronie 😂
LMAO, this is like trying to explain to your dad how to play video games
So the first storyline Russo decides to book is about.... Vince Russo.
+notsusan To be fair, it's always good to start off with the personality you know best :P
notsusan it should have been about a Russo Bishop storyline
Kenny Andrews no way Russo is going to fued with a bishop, he’s catholic broooo!!!!
Damn you, @@matthewsmith5374 that was hilarious
live is a learning process :)
Imagine this same concept but with Jim Cornette. I would watch that all day every day
Better yet...put them both in the same game
"That will put some butts in their seats.."
@vehtty i would totally watch that 72hs rant marathon
I’d love that
But with new wrestlers
Here’s what would happen based on modern era- RAW
Match-1:Drew McIntyre V Enhancement talent
Match-2:Bobby Lashley V Enhancement talent
Match-3:Hurt Business V Enhancement talents
Segment-1: In Ring Retribution tells everyone us a coward
Match-4: Matt Riddle V Enhancement talent
Match-5: AJ Styles/Osmo V Enhancement talents
Segment-2: AJ Styles says everyone is a coward
Main Event- Braun Strowman V John Morrison
The nL video with Russo is one of the funniest videos I've ever seen and it's awesome that Russo got into the game because of it.
Developers or modders should have took note. To make the game more realistic, Russo's feedback as an actual booker is amazing.
Adding commercials to the game would be nice.
Russo makes an excellent point about the lack of cliff hangers. You always leave them one more.
As a TEW player who actually understands what you're saying, this is kinda painful to watch. Too much talking about it in terms of game mechanics.
Just let Russo say what he wants to do, then interpret what he's doing into the game mechanics. Like instead of asking "what storylines do you want" why not just have Russo book the show, then before you run the show add storylines based on what logically follows to satisfy the game mechanics. Instead of asking Russo to explain segments in terms of who will be involved, just have him tell you the segment and then make an angle that fits what he's saying.
I guess it gets better as it goes along but I dunno why this wasn't the initial thinking on how to do this.
nL handled this better than this kid
Yeah it’s incredibly awkward and it shouldn’t have been that difficult to consider how this should be handled with a guy who has never played the game.
Lmaoo at the beginning of the video, Chris mentioned that kid to be their "Game Expert". The irony is through the roof now.
18:36 Wasn't a good sign for the longevity of this series when the first person Russo mentioned wasn't featured in the game. ;*P
Russo is such a good storyteller, let him spit!, In the future episodes let the tech guy work around Vince's concepts in the background.
thank newlegacyinc for this
***** They are a RUclips channel of a bunch of silly guys just playing wrestling games and having fun and also playing other games as well. They are not forc everyone as you will probably find out. Also in 2014 during a charity live stream, many of their fans were trying to get retweets for the stream they came along this man Vince Russo who wanted in their Skype call. And once he was in their Skype call he helped them book EWR for about 2 hours. Vince didn't even know about EWR or even TEW until that little event happened last year.
***** Also if you want the best 2 hours of your life just check out Vince Russo plays EWR... it was certainly a fun time.
Vince & Chris are the brains behind the TEW stuff, we just showed them the world of booking simulators! Both are great dudes though and I hope you guys continue to watch this series unfold!
newLEGACYinc I didn't think this was even real, til' I clicked on it. Fuckin amazing.
newLEGACYinc I need to get that vers. or TEW but I really don't want to pay for it... since I don't want to get my paypal leaked by the nWo (nico nico nii!)
Right from the start Vince Russo wanted to make himself the main focus of the whole company. Oh man, good ol' Russo booking :')
Must be tough to be the most entertaining man in the business
the nL bros made this happen. thanks for giving it another go, vince.
Bloop Bloop Bloop...
39:30 We must have commercial breaks!
NICK JUST USE THE ANGLE WRITER
So Hogan vs Bret with no build? Like not even during the show... I totally agree with you on cliffhangers, but it definitely helps to be putting over your ending throughout the show.
Yeah my first two shows are always angle heavy you need to put your two main even fights over quickly
Goldberg's right arm was actually shredded from punching up a limo window.
EWR was like crack to me for the longest fucking time. TEW however is a bit too complex
It's the same game basically.......just one needs modding. :(
9 angles before a match seems legit :)
ENTERTAINMENT bro
It's actually better than the modern product of all matches
Just a couple notes on the game mechanics that Nick didn't get 100% right. First you're not limited to people in a storyline, you can have 2 or 200, but each individual worker can only be in 1 storyline at a time. Second time no longer effects if an angle is major or minor in TEW13 it being so is decided by the angle itself; for example a mod might have promos as major but a guy backstage walking as minor, whether the promo is 1 min or if the guy walking is 30 it won't matter. Third decisive finish doesn't mean the match isn't competitive only that it's a clean finish, winner being kept strong makes them have more offense and dominate is a squash; note though that having someone dominant in a match longer than 6 min before entrances will get penalized as it would seem boring to the crowd to have one guy doing all the offense for 7+ minutes. Finally bringing the camera to the announcers after Bret collapses like Russo had in mind would work because TEW weighs shows so that the best angle is more important to your grade than the others regardless of if it's last or first; however for matches you want your best match to be last because your main event and to a lesser extent your semi-main count more than the rest. Despite these errors Nick does a pretty good job though.
Small correction to OctoberRaven's comment, each worker can only be major in 1 storyline, but they can be in multiple storylines in minor roles. The also can be in a storyline in a major role, and several storylines in minor roles.
i'm so pissed nobody has given Russo another chance to write and be involved with wrestling. Russo would make wrestling relevant again, I truly believe that VR is the only one who can save this dying industry. Even this video is waaaay better than anything WWE has been putting on tv for the last 2 decades.
wdym he got another chance in wwe after wcw shut down and multiple chances in tna
This is not only the worst opinion of today but it is factually incorrect.
Lol no. And also there's more wrestling available than ever before and the WWE is making more money than ever.
I would love to see Vince Russo make the transition to ESPN or MLB. Wrestling is so fucking old, dead, dry... depressing. Baseball is still here, fresh as ever, & Vince know's his shit when it comes to Baseball. It's harder to watch him talk wrestling now, or anyone talk wrestling, because that shit is currently under the water.
Adam Ryland - underrated gaming genius 👏
TEW 2005 is the best imo
Nikk is the man! Keep him on forever! Best show ever.
I'm enjoying this now with Vince Russo going through a real storyline
Why do people say that Russo as a trash booker? The booking in this video is amazing
Edit: After watching WCW in 2000, I understand now
Melee Hell | Bot Good point
Lmao yeah, plus he put like 9 promos before the first match
@@namemenoahright, because normal people aren't entertained by wrestling matches
Cool Vince playing a wrestling game
Interesting stuff. I think Vince totally ignores the concept of building tension in his stories. He starts everything at full speed, which gets people to turn the show on, but he ends up with nowhere to go. At the beginning of storylines, it doesn't take much to draw people's interest.
Think of the nWo angle, which started with Scott Hall simply walking through the crowd and making a few comments to the announcers. Finding those right small moments, then escalating week to week, seems to be the way that shows build momentum and draw audiences in.
As is, giving away Hall vs. Nash in a street fight and Hogan vs Bret Hart in your first show, with clean finishes, makes it very hard to convince people to shell out money for your pay-per-view.
Cornette was right that wrestling should only shoot angles one week a month and not have all these PPVs, but Russo succeeded at a particular time.
Well said.
Is that why the ratings were so high during the Attitude Era? You have no idea what you're talking about.
@@-Toaster- He had others helping him during that lol. Also this is the present, stop clinging to the past.
Yes, the present where all wrestling is too abysmal to watch @@Zack_410
The guy with the cat that keeps trying to skype through is hilarious!
1:26:50
"Where we headed next?"
One hour of television, and we already have over 10 minutes of Russo on screen and only two matches booked. Friggin' bankruptcy, that's where.
Hahahahaha! Some things never change. :)
I'm 25 minutes in and they're still arguing about how the game works...
WCW went bankrupt because Bischoff signed a bunch of old times to LUDICROUS guaranteed contracts. Trying to blame Russo exposes you as an imbecile
I think this is really cool to see the logic behind booking a television show. I'd love to see other guys like Cornette or Bischoff do something like this just to see the differences in styles. I gotta say after watching this and getting a glimpse to the logic of the booking...much respect.
this is funny, even if tew is a really detailed game, you can't really book the same way you book in real life, the AI doesn't understand what you want to do, everything is traslated to numbers.
REally entertaining, I want to see the rests of the series
1:26:32 I bet Russo and the middle man both noticed the misspelled Steiner the second time also, but were too polite to say anything. ;*P
Vince should so carry this on. Look at the views... this is an awesome insight.
Omg 😳 let Vince book his own show enough with the mechanic stuff and technically stuff
Big time TEW fan. Fun to see this.
Haha this is amazing ! my game with ICW UK is coming along nicely
No offense Vince, but there was way too much of you on this edition of Nitro. I get where you're going with this, but you could have gotten your points across in maybe two segments and saved the rest of the time putting over the other talent. Maybe have a former champion react to being stripped.
Any way, good video nonetheless. I love the game. Hope to see you continue.
It´s Russo, man.
It's the guy playing the game. He's horrible.
If you wanna see a series that isn't a bizarre brushing of Russo's ego, please watch my new series "The NXT Generation".

@@t34147 and 5 years later, still, no one fucking cares.
@@t34147 That was smooth ngl
You could always create an angle called commercial break, and have it be the correct time. Might help.
Came here to see my boy Nikk! Keep up the good work dude!
Love you Russo! Keep up the great work
this is interesting .. looking forward for episode 2
very cool video!!!! my fav game with my fav writer! keep up the video's bro!
i would luv to see vince do a new series w tew 2020. so many new features that would help him book the shows & events the way he wants!
2020 was dead on arrival.
Vince Russo's room looks like *_Chris-chan's (CWC's) room._*
Nuff said.
Not a big Russo fan by a long shot, but this was a neat idea. Kudos.
Omg I use to play this and EWR all the time.
ohh man he does over 20 minutes of vince russo thats like hell
Don't know if I would classify this as a game. It's more of a booking simulator / program. Intriguing nonetheless. Vince's booking is outstanding in this first episode, love the segments and matches he would have booked.
@Vince Russo Hopefully it's clear by now, as it's two years after the fact, LMAO, but one of the concepts is to string pieces, like a puzzle, of the story together to form an actual segment. The reason is because the computer doesn't get the idea of "I want Hogan and Nash to have a title match and Hogan pushes match with his finger and Nash falls down and Hogan covers him for the win. Meanwhile, Goldberg, who couldn't get in the building earlier, shows up and cleans out the ring. Hogan jumps Goldberg and Goldberg reverses and hits the spear. Goldberg goes to Jackhammer Hogan, and Hall hits the ring to save Hogan. Luger hits the ring and beats Hall out. As Goldberg goes to Jackhammer Hogan, Luger hits him from behind, revealing his true allegiance to the nWo." This would be one segment, but in TEW it has to be broken up into several incident segments that represent the whole of the one real life segment.
Funny thing is, I just came across this game a few days ago. I had the 2005 version, which is free on the Grey Dog (Adam, the creator's) website. I was trying to find out how to do something and came across this. It impressed me enough that I bit the bullet and bought TEW 2013 on the Steam gaming platform. 8D
The game is a lot of fun.
the guy working this game is the ultimate smart mark, even beyond Ryland. oh I bet. but you've got to love this guy doing this like he's doing it.
Awesome stuff!
I really enjoyed this. I would like to see you just create your own show, and make your own roster of who you want, and create a new story to see how it turns out. Could you please try that? Vince you are great!
Obviously Vince is the only one that can book a proper show
Go and watch old Nitros, youll think otherwise
@@namemenoahgo and watch WWF 1997-1999 and you'll agree with the OP 🤡😂
This is awesome
Lol this video is still great
The guy playing the game made it so much more complicated than it had to be. What you were saying was awesome and could have easily been added into the game without any issues.
I always thought it would be awesome if Russo played Tew, thank you
The execution of this is terrible. VR should send a booking sheet to this Nick fella, who can input it into the game, then do the video where VR runs down the show explaining the bookings and the goings on of the actual show as it exists in his mind.
We're going to try something quite similar to that for the upcoming shows. Thanks for the input -- we're just learning.
Vince Russo More input. I would have been much more likely to sign up for the VIP forums or whatever if there wasn't an attempt to force me into it with the "let's leave em hanging" deal. I would have been interested in watching, mostly for your reactions. Now, nah. Best of luck.
@@awthetp3076this comment didn't age well cheapskate
really interesting!
20 minutes into Nitro and no matches.
Just like an episode of Raw 1998-1999 where the audience was 5x bigger than today...
Where's episode two?
Isn't this addictive? I've spent many an hour getting my company to higher ratings and better workings!
I know Vince has to be 😂 at these guys
Here's what I would've done if I was walking Vince through this: I'd set up angles for the first night, see which ones the crowd reacted most strongly to, and then the next show I'd start setting up the storylines for those. That's more like the way modern TV booking works in Vince's defense; they throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks, and what sticks becomes a "storyline" while the rest is dropped or put off. The game's system is based more on territory booking, where the booker looks at some guys he wants to give a shot, and then travels around selling their feud and seeing how different crowds react to it. It's why guys like Mantell or Cornette won't immediately drop a storyline that isn't working. They're from that old school era where that long-term booking was the norm, while newer guys like Vince were more visceral and "MTV" with their booking.
I love the TEW 2013 January 2002 Mod, so much potential.
I'm now in August, and to see how different my booking has turned out compared to the actual 2002 booking is astounding.
My shows are usually never worse than a B-, though heaT sometimes only garners a C or a C-. (y)
Godamnit Vince, I wanna watch this Nitro now. Go back in time, and I'll take back everything I've ever said about you.
Nice vid
I have owned several versions of this game and had 2013 since it came out, never a played a real life mod but so tempted to do this one and compare i how would book WCW with how Vince himself will book it, its a cracking game but can be so time consuming, even found myself making notes at work when ideas for storylines come into my head.
You guys really need to work on the format because this was painful to watch. Maybe setting up your TEW shows in advance, then talking us through your thought process retrospectively would work better.
To be fair, this was their first episode and both (especially Vince) were trying to get a feel for how TEW works. Give it 2 or 3 episodes, let them get a feel for how the game's mechanics work, and I'm sure this format will run more smoothly.
I think he would have saved a lot of headaches if he just made a huge stable called The Locker Room with everyone one in the company. Then they could just use that for segments.
He booked it, but did they run the show in the video? What were the results?
Vince says how do we know he has a broken arm 😂😂😂😂😂
I'm enjoying the hat Chri$.
Omg my ribs are killing me I'm laughing so hard
I'd recommend EWR, which was the precursor to TEW. It's nowhere near as convoluted and it's free.
TEW2016 was better. It's literally an improvement over the 2013 version
Why you no play with me? :D
Hey Vince, Will we get another episode in the VIP section soon?
This was really entertaining, but I wish you guys would have shown the score at the end of this video rather than forcing us to buy the VIP membership. I would have understood if it was a 30 minute video, but 2.5 hours? I watched this whole video waiting for the final result and to not be given it after 2.5 hours of viewing does the exact opposite of what you intended - it makes me have zero desire to pay for VIP membership.
I'm a fan of yours, Vince. If you had given us the score at the end of this video, you'd have gained a VIP subscriber.
Vince books hardcore wcw lol 😆
Just curious, though I do plan on getting the VIP section and have been thinking about it for a while now anyway, just waiting for my birthday so I have a little bit of money to throw away, what are the odds of ever making the whole set of videos free on RUclips after a couple months or so? I'm assuming low, but just asking to be sure since I've seen a couple of video channels do that in the past...
Will give it some thought for sure. Def. want the promotion, but hopefully fans will think it's worth signing up to VIP for...not to mention all the other content on there. But def. not something out of the question. Just don't let that stop you from signing up! :)
Vince Russo Thanks for answering the question, and I'm sure that these vids will motivate people to buy the Network. It was pretty much what pushed me into deciding to sign up for VIP first chance I get since 1) I want to watch all of these and 2) Even if you do decide to release all of them at a later date, I can't wait that long! xD Thanks for answering and I'll be getting VIP regardless.
When will the next part be released on RUclips?
this is just a shitshow and I love it
Vince Russo, have you ever heard of /wooo/?
Off camera Vince is laughing
Its crazy we used to have this and now we have ridiculous mobile games full of micro transactions and people actually swallow it
2:07:34 I thought Bret was going to collapse because he couldn't believe that he was finally going over Hogan without something coming up at the last minute to stop it, such as a freak meteorite from outer space hitting the area just as Hogan is about to tap, making the match a no-contest!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;*( No offence to Bret, it's just no secret how much he always wanted to beat Hogan and Warrior, but couldn't because they protected themselves too well contractually!!!!!!!! ;*(
30 fucking segments?!?!?!?!
ENTERTAINMENT
Cool
push la parka
Luger pulls flair off, ..oooooooh matron this is a kids show lol
More Matches bro. Way too many segments
Jed Levinson It's like an episode of Raw.
But that’s classic vince Russo
Russo knows how to draw ratings, whereas you only know how to be a wrestling mark...
The ratings are in - 3,078 lol
Is that good? What is normal, what is high? We need some insight on how ratings work.
I was being sarcastic.
If you know anything about Russo he's known for being the ratings killer
Adyman Especially when you didn't have an Arquette to put a belt on.
***** its so so.
Actually Putting the belt on Arquette was not Russo's idea.
You guys didn't pick the best TEW player. The 2016 game is out, I assume that I'm a good player. I would be willing to do a Russo Plays TEW 2016.
This would have been better if you just let Russo air his ideas smoothly and then discussed them. The whole game thing just gets in the way.
even with all its simplicity in comparison to this, I think ewr 2003 is better probably better than this game regardless of all its advancements. it was just enough, and at the same time complex and the key words here are TIME CONSUMING enough, but it was right after a point where pro wrestling as a popular commodity was at its peak, and I guess you could say a "boom" period. also take into consideration the feeling of those times, and with some of the best American and even/especially non-American pro-wrestlers of that time, either: still working, still active as a non-worker, or at least only semi-retired. maybe its just not replicable when you go backwards and try to make that happen. please tell me if you agree with this.
Soo much Russo in Nitro
This question has always been in the back of my head, how come lots of people related to wrestling have the first name Vince? Example: Vince McMahon, Vince Russo, etc.
Coincidence
Spoder Must be
Spoder *I THINK NOT*
Etc. coz you couldn't come up with another name lol
Some ideas are best kept at the back of your head...
reputation lowest... hillarious
I watched the whole thing and then BIG SWERVE don;t give the ending. Fuck.
