I remember getting really obsessive about having title histories and stuff so in like 2000, I started keeping notebooks with results/promos/title histories. I dug one out once and posted like a whole year's worth of PPV results on another board. 10-year-old me really liked Rulers of the Ring 3 Saturn. My favorite memory was one time, we had a couple of days out due to snow so my friend Scott stayed a couple of nights at our house and we were playing an episode of SmackDown! where the main event was the Hardyz vs. Edge and Christian. The Hardyz were his favorite team so he would start complaining whenever I had Edge or Christian get any offense in, so I just had Edge start kicking the sh*t out of Jeff Hardy to the point my friend grabbed the figure out of the ring and said he wouldn't let me have it back unless I promised the Hardyz were going to win. Wanting to just finish playing this show so we could write the results and stuff down, I said sure and immediately had Edge pin JEff Hardy when my friend handed me the figure back. And that, boys and girls, is the storied legend of the Snow Day Screwjob!

Do you have any distinct memories from your figure fed from when you were a kid? Your first champion, a storyline you did, a gimmick match you invented, anything?! I actually have a lot from mine. I remember Mr. Kennedy winning the first World Title in November of 2007. He finally lost it in March 2009 when Great Khali debuted and attacked him, causing Monty Brown to successfully cash-in his Money in the Bank contract. Chris Benoit was my champion at the time of the... Well you know. How did you handle that? Did you keep using Benoit? Did you vacate the title and announce what had happened? How did you handle it? I remember in my toys, I just ignored it. Stopped using Benoit as soon as he died. But when Eddie died I remember doing a tribute show to him. I had a lot of luchadores on, Chavo won the World Title, stuff like that.

Oh, boy... I have a lot of memories... here’s some of my favorites: -Both Hardy Boyz having a WrestleMania moment, where Matt won the World Heavyweight Title, while Jeff won the WWE Title that same night. Matt won a Triple Threat match against Triple H and Steve Austin, and Jeff defeated Shawn Michaels (I think). To close the show, the two Hardy brothers shared a moment similar to Guerrero and Benoit at WM20. - For some odd reason, I repackaged Trevor Murdoch as a singles death match wrestler, with the gimmick “The Murdocher”. Him and Mankind would kill each other in CZW/ECW style death matches for the Hardcore title. I think they even fought at Mania once, where Mankind either retained or won the Hardcore title. -Gene Snitsky and Heidenreich were a dominant heel tag team that ran through everyone, becoming the Tag Team Champions in September 2006 all the way until WrestleMania in 2007, where (you guessed it) The Hardy Boyz defeated them for the Tag Team Titles. I always gave Murdoch a big singles push! I had him doing a Southern Cult-like leader similar to what Bray Wyatt ended up being actually.

Seeing what everyone is saying about their Feds, it makes me miss the classic Figamanias and Winter Warfare super shows that were held here.
I ALWAYS wanted to run a pic fed with primarily my TNA Toybiz guys, there wasn't a lot with those guys on here back in the day.

I made a storyline back in 2001/2002 time with my older brother where Mankind won the WWF title and Vince was furious. He kept trying to get the belt off of him, but kept failing. So in the end, he had the Ministry kidnap The Rock and Vince made Mankind defend the title against a heel Austin in a Stairway to Hell to match - Vince made it so that Austin could win the match by pinfall, but Mankind had to climb a ladder and rescue The Rock.
In the end it was a massive screwjob, as every time Mankind got close to The Rock, he was lifted higher into the air. Austin then pushed the ladder, and caught Mankind with a mid-air stunner to win the gold.

I never had a figure fed per say, i did do efeds when i was in middle school. Started with AOL chatroom dice feds. Then went to simulation feds where you picked or created a character, gave it to the person running the fed and they would make and then simulate cards on n64 games or old smackdown games. Then it progressed to forum feds with created characters and you had to out promo your opponents each week. Those were fun time killers.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone play TEW? I've booked some insane long-term story telling with multi-year arcs in a few of my saves.

Don't have Specifics, just remember hours of LJN's going at each other. Or Mixing my Hasbros and Galoobs. What a time to be alive and have very few responsibilities.

I have so many memories that will only trigger more and more the longer I think about them.
I have notebooks upon notebooks of results and PPV logos I drew.
My best memory is probably jack packing on average of 5 year's worth of shows and PPVs into the span of like 4 real time months of playing.
...I just might have to dig up my notebooks.

Too many memories to count! I started with Hasbros, but once BCA hit I started writing everything down including what ropes I used, timed the matches, everything! I kept a spreadsheet of all my champions throughout the years with my records being from 1996-2012. I still have all my original notebooks of everything that happened once I started keeping track of things. I Would plan out the matches of PPVs months in advance. Some of my main factions were Glow Undertaker with the rest of BCA first in lines of Goldust, Bret Hart, HBK, and HHH. Another main one was Hardcore Holly, Jeff Jarrett, and Owen Hart. They would constantly fight one another and come back together and do it all over again. Holly vs JJ was one of my most heated rivalries I created.
"X-Mas Eve Bash" was always the biggest & longest PPV of the year where I would start it on Christmas Eve when I went to bed and it would go way into the morning 3-4AM. I would always incorporate Rudolph and Frosty the Snowman Figures every year such as them being refs, one year they actually won the tag titles. I also included a "Blast from the Past" match which meant it was a prominent match that happened years ago and they were doing it again on the biggest PPV regardless if it had much of a current build up.
A unique match concept I used once in awhile for heated rivalries was a "Money Match" that had coins all over and inside the ring. You had to get a pinfall or submission in a No DQ type match on your opponent first, but then you had to fill this tootsie roll piggy bank jar thing I had & the wrestler who put the last coin into the bank actually won. It was usually for the Million Dollar Championship. Good stuff, good times!

Not exactly figure fed, but I just have fond memories of playing throughout the BCA-TTL era. Royal Rumbles in the Monster Ring were a ton of fun. With TTL, that was probably my favorite era of figures. The Hardcore Ring and the subsequent ring gear releases made that (at the time) the most realistic figure experience possible. Plus with the incarnation of tables, chairs and other weapons made it a game changer.

All the rings after that just felt way too small, even if they were more true to life.

I remember in my toys, I just ignored it. Stopped using Benoit as soon as he died. But when Eddie died I remember doing a tribute show to him. I had a lot of luchadores on, Chavo won the World Title, stuff like that. If I'm remembering this right, he lost the belt to Jericho about a week and a half later. I was gonna do Batista vs Benoit at my SummerSlam that year. But that became Batista vs Jericho. It ended the same way it was supposed to though. Batista won the World Championship at SummerSlam '07. The only thing that changed was who he lost it to. I've been thinking of creating a custom elite and bringing him back, should I? Also your Eddie Guerrero tribute show sounds beautiful.

I remember progressing in my level of detail and planning as I got older. I would plan all the matches and segments out in writing and try to have my "shows" at the same time each week. Also - different sets/entrances depending on the show! My cousin did something similar and we would sometimes have cross-promotion events. Crazy how much extra time you have as a kid to do that kind of stuff. lol I'm still upping my level of detail. "Sponsors", a developmental promotion made up of custom wrestlers, I even make commercials with my figures. 😂

I loved ECW so I always made it as good as the other shows, it had Orton, Taker, Cena, HHH at different times. I remember doing HHH vs Randy Orton for the ECW title in a HIAC match that was fun.
The craziest storyline I did looking back was probably Danny Basham (which was actually a Gemini figure, 0 idea who they were) vs Hornswoggle for the WWE title. Hornswoggle ended up winning a ladder match against him at TLC
Back then I also used to use every figure, from Stone Cold to Koko B Ware, I remember one of my favorite tag teams was Bobby Lashley and Lex Luger because they both had good figures at the time.
I really wish I could remember some stuff that happened like 12-13 years ago. I think I have some stuff written down on paper but that probably went years ago, now everything from 2011- is on my google drive.
Edit: A couple more storylines I remember
I made Yoshi Tatsu win the Rumble and challenge for the ECW title. He defeated Jack Swagger in an Extreme Rules match.
I made Kelly Kelly have a year long reign when she cashed in MITB, I think after that the most is about 7 months.
Cesaro went undefeated in his first year and the first Unified champion
I'm finding it mind blowing that I've had some of these figures for years, crazy how time flies.

I still have my figure fed notebooks if anyone cares enough to see them.
I wrote down promos, RAW/SD results, PPV results, how matches ended, etc... I did 5 full years. Hundreds of shows and hundreds of hours. I still miss it.
My big storyline was how nobody could beat Punk. He was truly the BITW. He beat everyone. Austin, Rock, Brock, Cena, Jericho. I built him to the moon. I shoved him down people’s throats... and it all culminated during the Road to WrestleMania 30. Here is some of what I wrote down.
6 weeks before Mania. Punk brought down the Winged Eagle belt, the Attitude Belt, the Undisputed Belt, and Spinner Belt. He claimed all of them as his. He beat HBK/Austin to symbolically own the winged title, Austin/Rock for the Attitude Belt, Brock for the Undisputed, and Cena for the Spinner. It was to show that he was the best of all time. That he could go toe to toe with the best of each era and win. He says that at WM30 his contract ends and he is walking out of the company with the belt because he has nothing left to prove, nobody left to beat. Vince is irate. He starts throwing opponents at Punk week to week... HHH, Henry, Orton, Kane, Batista... trying to get the belt off Punk. Punk beats them all.
He has no opponent for WM 6 days before the show, But, Vince comes down laughing, saying “don’t you realize it yet Punk? Don’t you see who I picked. Who you defeated... he also defeated... all at WM... you claim to be a God... well... this man is a Devil.” Lights out. Undertaker behind Punk. He points to Mania sign. Match on. Punk comes down to end the show and says he will be the 1 in 21-1. He says to the crowd, “I beat your heroes... I beat your legends... I beat your Great One, your Beast, your Superman... you know deep down that I’ll beat your Phenom. Because for 700 days, I’ve backed it all up. On this mic. In this ring. I’m the best in the world. I’m the best thing this company has ever seen. I beat them all. And this Sunday, I’ll be the 1 in 21-1. This Sunday, know this deadman, your arms are too short to box with God.”
Point of facing HHH, Henry, Orton, Batista was to show Punk beating all Undertakers Mania opponents. The build was to show that the streak was truly vulnerable.
Streak vs Streak match. Punk’s 700 day streak as WWE Champion vs Undertakers Wrestlemania Streak.
5 star match. Back and forth. Punk hits the GTS. He starts shaking his head, shouting no... gets Taker up for the Tombstone and hits it, laughing. He thinks it’s over, crowd is dead silent. Taker kicks out right before 3. Punk starts arguing with the ref. Turns around and sees Taker sit straight up. Taker tells Punk, you can’t kill what’s already dead. Punk is in disbelief. Throws everything at Taker, but Taker counters. Taker rallies. Punk kicks out of Last Ride. Taker looks for Snake Eyes, about to walk the rope, Punk rallies, both end up on apron. Somehow I had Punk get the tombstone ready for Taker on the apron, but somehow Taker flips over the ropes and back into the ring, but it’s Punk now about to get tombstoned. Taker hits its. 1-2-3. Taker wins.
RAW opens with Taker’s hat, boots, and WWE title in the ring. Signifying the end of an era, with his last match saving the WWE title.
Punk ends up re-signing, new gimmick saying he retried the Undertaker. “Even in defeat I win. I retired the Undertaker” Says he does has something left to prove, to prove he can walk out of the company with the belt. He is delusional. Betrayed by Heyman as Brock returns. He chases the belt for a year, never gets it. Goes from heel to face, rock bottom to climbing his back to the top.
Meanwhile, year later, WM31, Brock vs Rollins for the belt. Brock about to win after a low blow and chair shot as Heyman distracts the ref. But... lights go out... back on and Brock is down in the ring. Rollins and Brock recover stand up same time. Rollins gets F5ed... but somehow lands on his feet, hits a Samoa drop (Brock took out Rollins tag partner Reigns, so homage to Reigns) Rollins hits curb stomp, wins the belt. Lights go out again, Taker is at the entrance, tips his hat to Rollins, signifying a passing of the torch moment.
I didn’t want a young superstar to end the streak because of the pressure of being “the guy.” It always felt like to much to carry. Rollins ended up eliminating Punk from the rumble to get the shot, so I thought that was good enough.
