I get a "Run-time error '3021': No current record" after choosing an avatar and a company/or unemployed.
And hello TCP! Good to see a familiar name. 👍Hello there my friend.
How strange. I'm using the database at the moment. I'll prep some new files and update those in the shared drive.

Mannnn, I am hyped for all the classic databases getting released and also thanks for the shout out!
TEW2007 was my intro to TEW and I've always had a soft spot for that year.
Thank you for being an awesome contributor to the community.

In 2005 Adam Ryland created the first ever Total Extreme Wrestling and the CornellVerse was born based off the most famous and awesome wrestler of all time...
Back in those days the stats were… very healthy. And everyone loved it. However, there was an update on the way, which evened things out slightly, but progressed the story of the fictional universe that we all know and love. Companies grew, shrank and slowly collapsed under the weight of their own hubris. Wrestlers ascended, debuted and retired and we watched in awe.
Since then we have seen four more updates of the Cverse and the story of the wrestling world changed and shifted leading us to the current default data. But I for one never forgot the origins of this world. In a time when Rocky Golden and Nicky Champion were on the rise. When DAVE was clinging on to dear life and BHOTWG were dealing with their fall from the biggest company in the world thanks to the walkout and birth of INSPIRE. A time when the DeColts and the Stones were still at war with one another, where MAW was still run by the legendary Rip Chord, where Sam Keith was still wrestling, a number of second-generation superstars hadn’t debuted and where NYCW was running shows in Weston Gymnasium with mindless big lugs (some things always stay the same).
The year is 2007 and this... is the CornellVerse…

With special thanks to Kamchatka.
5th August - Version 1 - The data and pic pack can be found here in my Google Drive (I have named the ones you need as TEW IX): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1zvq8t5qADk8YqsobYp2TqrqV4hLDase6?usp=sharing
Recommended Gameplay Settings:
This mod is not built for use with the GIF versions of images/Backdrops, so make sure to turn off that option for maximum effect. However, please use however you wish and do as you wish.
IMPORTANT: When selecting a User Character at the start, do not remove the remaining ones, leave them all in.
Regeneration: Disabled
Auto Fix: Disabled
New Worker Highlights: Enabled
Picture Requirement: On (There are no spare images in the log, so I recommend setting New Workers as requiring images. This will mean no new workers will be generated. Obviously if you want to you can add images and go that route. But the mod is designed to stick (more or less) to Cverse lore. So debuts happen at the right time from the correct training facilities.)
Area Battle: On Combined
Regional Battle: On Combined
Restricted Area: Semi
Injury Frequency: Medium
Randomness: Low
Relationship Frequency: Low
Death Frequency: Medium
Deaths: Disabled
Strict Storylines: Enabled
Strict Boom and Bust: Disabled
Organic Biographies: Enabled
Organic Companies: Disabled
Dirty Tricks: Enabled
Chemistry Effects: Enabled
Natural Growth Limits: Full
Notes:
I have done my best to equalise the stats to avoid the bloat of the original games. But, obviously I didn’t want to nerf everyone. It’s my personal choice, but if you have any issues, or complaints about the stats, let me know and if I agree I’ll change them. Alternatively, keep it to yourself and change the mod how you want it. It’s for everyone.
The mod data is free to use by anyone who wants to use it as a base, or who wants to change or re-release or whatever. No need to ask me for permission. If you’re going to use the images, I recommend checking with the creators though and always worth checking with Derek B and Mr. T Jobs to Me as there is some work of there’s from the amazing 1977 and 1997 mods.
Speaking of thanks, I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the following people who allowed use of their renders, graphics, data and a number of other things (in alphabetical order): @Asaemon, @Blackman, @Brret99, @cooldude, @Derek B, @djskeemask, @esteel20, @Jaysin, @JTLant, @JSilver, @Kamchatka, @King Bison, @LoNdOn, @Mr T Jobs to Me, @ParkerStyles, @Sisma, @Shipshirt, @smw88, @sockpuppet, @Undertaker666 and @Willr0ck. These are the lifeblood of this wonderful, barmy game and without them I would probably have not have been invested as much as I have been. (I stupidly deleted my messages, so I can’t remember if I’ve forgotten anyone. If I have, please DM me and I’ll edit this and add thanks both here and on the Mod).
The renders included will likely be different to what you’re used to as I wanted to freshen up the whole lot by mixing and matching. Obviously if you prefer your own picture packs, use them. But it’s a personal preference for me.
If anyone wants to create add-ons to flesh out a certain area (women’s wrestling perhaps) or just to fill the mod with free agents or whatever, please go ahead. There is no Australia or India either.
Broadly the game should be the same difficulty as the default with a couple of notable exceptions: UCR is in financial trouble because of some big contracts and struggling income. If the data plays out, barring anything strange, they will go bust within the year and will create the environment for UEW and EWA to be born. If they somehow survive it’s unlikely those two companies will be created. So playing as UCR will be tough. DAVE meanwhile have a similar problem only now they’ve got a lot of big contracts AND they’re somehow the fourth biggest promotion now that USPW have Sam Strong. It’s likely that they will go bust within a few months of the start. I have toyed with playing a save where I try and save DAVE and to be honest, I haven’t succeeded yet. Perhaps sacrificing TV and PPV and stripping the roster back and it might be possible. Regardless both PSW and FREEDOM are around the corner and will be created regardless. The difficulty of DAVE I’d put as impossible.
This is obviously the first release, so if there are any errors, frustrations or just general complaints. Comment below and I will edit if necessary or just ignore you if I don't agree.
I'm probably going to run a diary using the data, so I'll be able to pick up any mistakes as I play.

Hi all,
Appreciate that interest may be limited at best. But...
I have spent the last few months working on a TTRPG podcast, the name of which we had to change on Friday because someone else pinched our name a few days before release. Anyway, it's called Dice Company and I'm the DM, so if you've ever wondered what my rich baritone voice sounds like, prepare to be shocked.
Chapter Zero is out now, which is short and just gives an insight into players characters and what not. As this place has been home to some of my most creative endeavears before, it seemed natural to return with my latest.

Would love to hear any feedback, even negative.

Blimey, how on earth did I get nominated? Thank you whoever it was.
Wait, was it me? Did I nominate myself? In which case, I humbly accept my own nomination.

I'll be reading this for sure. Good luck.

Am I dumb or is Jefferson Stardust not in the mod?
I knew I'd miss something. He has been added to the data and the download has been updated. Good spot.

Will you have any Indian promotions in this? It would be awesome if you fleshed out a couple promotions and some workers for the area. Maybe the promotions are not doing very well there? Would be a fun little addition to the CVerse.
I have no plans for India or Oceania. But if others would like to add them in, it's a-ok with me.

How did you handle contract expirations in this data it seems to be all over the place? I noticed Sam Keith was random when it should be about six months before he leaves. I know it was more than just his contract was up but that was one of if not the biggest thing in the 2008 data was that Keith was in TCW kicking off the Syndicate storyline. It would be nice to have the chance to resign him or steal him away from SWF at that time. Another one is The Cannonball Kid's contract expires in 18 months but he leaves in August of 07. I didn't check Liberty's contract but I know he's the other big move in 2008.
Broadly I left them random, except for companies where they were going bust. I can definitely change up the ones mentioned above and any others.

Yeah its really satisfying to put them together with a mind to how they're a mix of physical Lectraset designs and Scanimate motion graphics for the tv.
That good old text over a star field wrestling tv intro type of thing - rather than the modern clean digital stuff.
I feel like I can hear the exact synth intro music which would lead to the logo appearing on screen. Sort of wobbly in its presentation.
Like something from here.

"All American Florida Wrestling, run by Dick the Devastator, is the foremost promotion in the Southeast territory and one of the earliest to form in the United States. AAFW's biggest asset has been being able to rely on Dick to stay around as the top star while still sharing the spotlight, and numerous launches into the wrestling stratosphere began in AAFW, such as Dan Stone, Micky Starr, and Rip Chord."

There’s a certain nostalgic beauty to all of these sets which perfectly represents the territory era of wrestling of the real world, but in Cverse. Another fantastic set.

Are you looking specifically for Willr0ck sets or just sets in general? If you download my mod there is a picture folder "extra pics" then "extra belts & Trophies" and there's loads of unassigned belts in there, some with initials of companies I don't have logos for and plenty more just generic. Not sure if that helps or not!
I already have your mod (it's excellent by the way). But it was Willr0ck's I was after. I've grown quite partial to that style as I've been modding. I appreciate the thought though.
-
Hey there, I don't suppose you have a generic set of titles do you? (World, Tag and secondary)? I've been through and can't find any, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.
Regardless, keep up the awesome work.

Version 2 Release Notes:
* Corrected TCW events
* Corrected SWF Events
* Amended incorrect worker images, bios, attributes and starting activity
* Moved Pistol Pete Hall to GCG, not CGC
* Removed duplicate workers
* Imported eras from Cverse1997
* SAISHO and WEXXV events added from CV2010 (thank you BrokenCycle)
* BHOTWG, PGHW and GCG TV shows removed to avoid too many events
* Some logos changed to incorporate the amazing work of Willr0ck and Kamchatka
EDIT
I've realised that the Developmental contracts were all wrong, so I've been through and updated them to make them correct. The file has been updated to reflect this.

I knew there’d be duplicates. Not to be confused with DupliKate of course. Lol. I’ll ditch the spares.
I’ll also replace the two errant images of Joao Vicente and SSP.

I am struggling to figure out what diary to run next. I defintiely want to use my Cverse07 mod (partially to test it in a long-running save), but because I'm keen to start writing again.
I sort of figure I've done NYCW enough for now, so am looking for an alternative. Are there any other styles, comapnies or created comapnies or backstories which people might be interested in, or can suggest? Ideally I'd avoid Japan, because it doesn't really interest me, but beyond that, I'm open to any suggestions.
Perhaps rekindling one of the long-defunct promotions like AAPW or APWF?
-
All the above is good stuff. Apologies for some of the errors. There was always going to be bits over missed. But I will look into and change any and all I can above for sure. As always the more the merrier. Especially for Japan of which I have limited knowledge. 🙂

I have now updated the data file to include Kam's awesome Splash Screens. I've also noticed that a lot of the relationships were wrong at the start. These have been amended. I have also made the changes suggested by people on here and in Discord.
-
Post #2 of this thread now includes the awesome introduction screen splashes for the mod from the amazing Kamchatka. I will add these to the download in post #1 when I get home this evening.

One little thing I just noticed, TCW is based in Mid South in the current 2020 data, but in 07 they should be based in South West.
Yeah I did consider that. But I genuinely thought they might just crush CZCW if they dropped. Figured it was worth keeping them in Mid South.

Oooooh man, I had a killer DAVE save in 2007. Time to resurrect the dead!
All I will say is… good luck. You may need to edit the company slightly, or prepare to gut and rebuild. It’s brutal. 😁

Just from first glance I gotta say that it's clear that you spent a lot of time trying to balance the stat ceilings for the workers. I'm not sure how it plays in game because I haven't started yet, but it looks interesting.
Also this may be a little bit of a hot take, but I'm not so sure about using the real workers as User Characters. I instinctively always click "Yes" to remove the unused User Characters, and Tommy Cornell (and everyone else important to the game world ) was gone!
It took me many many hours. Lol. Broadly I’m happy with results. But it may not to be to all tastes.
As for User Characters. I personally hate the Avatars, so wanted an alternative. Originally it was just veterans and fan favourites from Cverse97, but I expanded. Easily fixed if not to your tastes though. No need for it in Game Terms.

I know that feeling. I've updated the files anyway and broken into three downloadable files.
