Curb Stomp City

The contracts of the likes of Hogan, Bischoff, Hardy, etc were payed for by Spike rather than TNA, so the wage bill shouldn't be made an issue for them imo.

This looks great. Very easy on the eye.

Personally I prefer Pentagon Jr

Great news! The pack looks very cool.

Ah must have missed that. Cool.

Brock Lesnar still needs a Starting Absence. He's still under UFC contract and is scheduled for a fight with Alistair Overeem in December 2011. He'd also need some time to recover from the fight. (He returned to WWE the night after Mania, April 2012) I'd also make Brock more popular, at least higher than Hogan. FCW should only have popularity in South East and maybe drop that to 20-25. They held shows in front of a very small crowd in Florida with only local TV. Add a narrative that changes FCW to NXT in June 2012. Dean Ambrose, Bo Rotunda & Leo Kruger should have higher status in FCW. Bo is a two-time and current champion (and had a third reign eventually), Dean was shot right to the top of the card and Leo Kruger was receiving a push and became the champion after Bo.

Had a scan through the new data and can't see anything that immediately stands out stat-wise. Looks like a solid foundation to build upon. Great work man.

Him being out of contract was a work. He wasn't really leaving, and he wasn't unhappy enough to leave at this point. Setting it up so it's difficult to keep Punk takes away the reason the majority want to play this mod ie. to rebook the Summer of Punk and the small revolution that took place following it in their image, not to struggle for a month to appease one talent who never really had any intention of leaving.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> As far as I know, he was burnt out and did intend on leaving to pursue MMA. Of course, we'll never know for sure. The storyline was no doubt based on his real life unhappiness in the company. Then this storyline was agreed to, either before or after he was persuaded to stay.</p><p> </p><p> In terms of making it fun as a game, it wouldn't need to be anything too challenging. It would require some testing, but something like a few solid wins over top talent would be enough. (He beat Rey Mysterio twice and Cena once right before the pipebomb.) Then if the AI decides to book him badly, he leaves, if they don't, he stays.</p><p> </p><p> Of course, if you're taking over WWE as the user, you're probably going to be booking him strong anyway, so the challenge would be met by default.</p><p> </p><p> The challenge could be added to the intro screen to give people a heads up. I think it would be cool.</p>

<p>For NXT, it should either be a developmental brand/show, or all Season 5 contestants should be in FCW. All except Darren Young made FCW appearances at the same time.</p><p> </p><p> (Derrick Bateman, Darren Young, Titus O'Neil)</p>

<p>I'll wait for the next update to go into specifics on stats. As for data:</p><p> </p><p> Set Brock Lesnar to On Hiatus with a starting absence until April 2012.</p><p> </p><p> Maybe set Brock and Heyman as a permanent unit? Not sure if this will make it so Heyman follows Brock? Worth a test.</p><p> </p><p> CM Punk should have a one month contract (Maybe three months since promotions could poach him right away, we need a two month option). Set his morale to low/very low. Make it a challenge to keep him, but possible with the right interactions/booking. Finding this balance with Punk should be a key focus imo, due to the theme of the mod.</p><p> </p><p> Should Punk be set to heel to start? He's feuding with Cena, so the game would give penalities for that. If so, set his last turn to allow a face turn without backlash.</p><p> </p><p> Delete Lauren Brooke, she last worked in wrestling in 2009. She's currently set to Left the Business.</p><p> </p><p> Trish is set to Left the Business, have her as a retired wrestler. She showed up a few times as a personality around that time.</p>

Looking forward to the update, keep doing what you're doing.

"Shut up or i'll smack you one."

Will Ring Ka King be in as a future promotion? Any TNA screens to share?

Well this is exciting.

Thanks for your work, mate.
