These look great will. Can't wait to see the rest.

I was thinking GCG, but he already did those a few years back that I still use. And the look those have are great. Maybe High Impact Wrestling? It only has a single title from years back and the logo has never been updated or touched. So Will could have fun with it since it has no real identity other than the name. Personally think it should be a Stunt Show product, but that's me. Forgot to add that your FCW stuff rocks Will!

Damn will. The ACPW stuff is just fire. Amazing work as always!

Glad to help out. At least I can give back a little with some edits. And it is not really cheeky, no. Looking back I should've done it up for you on the spot, just in case you wanted to do FZCW. I mean, I did it by accident and even if you didn't someone out there might've wanted to use it. I can get that edit done for you now. Hang on a moment. There we go. Hope you enjoy.

The merger is easy to think up really if you mimic real life a little. What you do is you have a media company come along and swoop up some companies (PGHW and BHOTWG get merged as a result) and have them all be under the media corporation's umbrella. You'd need to diversify the companies that are under the umbrella, but it would make it fun. The better part is that unlike with North America in having one be better than the other, any of these companies can become number one. Especially because each company wouldn't provide the same type of entertainment. In fact, I would make the product change due to the media group. From Classic Mainstream Puroresu or whatever PGHW's is (I forget) and have it become East Meets West. This way, the product for Burning Pride and Glory Wrestling sits in a middle ground of INSPIRES and WLW. The other companies can be like say KITSUNE (running as an Avantgarde Puroresu) and say willr0ck's Bushido Blood Puroresu (Slobberknock-Deathmatch?). One can be strictly Juniors (KITSUNE), the other heavyweights (BBP), with the cut off for both companies being Lightweight. As an added bonuses with BPGW moving off of Classic Mainstream Puroresu, you could have JCW start up as a result of that (with them being CMP for product) and them gobbling up what's left of BCG. This way willr0ck's backstory for JCW and its unified titles sort of works in the CVerse and the AltVerse. Just you swap GCG for BCG. The fun part of the AltVerse JCW is that they only kept the young talent wrestlers and told the old guard to bugger off. Maybe ironically have those old guard be the ones who are in BBP and causing headaches there to make people go "how do I navigate this load of bullocks". Though that's just my thoughts on some things you could possibly do with Japan. Hope it helps.

Sorry, I have a habit of hating on myself. Especially when my work feels inferior to what I know would be better for others. I apologize about that. Shouldn't let my depression get the better of me. You know, I'll be honest concerning the second logo. I totally thought Freedom Zone Coastal Wrestling, and I don't know why. LOL. Here's a few fixes concerning my previous edits. With Burning Pride Glory Wrestling, I made the text more centered and made it a little easier to read. You know, you could technically make the handshake the & to make it Burning Pride and Glory Wrestling for the full name. Just a thought. First of my two fixes for FCZW. Unless I changed the background, the red just takes out too much and so I went with what I knew I can do. What I did instead was keep it dark blue, bevel the text while adding a drop shadow with the red from the FCW logo, to give it a tinge to the orange. I lessened the bevel for the second one to give you whichever you feel is better. Here's hoping these will at least be suitable for the time being.

If the graphics requests where you talked about Burning & Glory is actually for 2022 AltVerse, I'm very intrigued with what you've got planned for Japan.

Bold are the companies I change. Products with more than one company: Anti-Establishment Hardcore (2): IPW, SNP Classic Balanced (2): CWA, VWA Classic Lucha Libre (2): CILL, OLLIE Classic Southern Rasslin (2): TCW, OCW* Classic Sports Entertainment (4): 21CW, EWA, SWF, NWF* Extreme Hardcore (4): DIW, GSW, PSW, PWC* Family Friendly Pro Wrestling (3): USPW,DSPW*, FEW* Fast And Furious (6): 5SSW, CZCW, KPW*, L-Ring*, WINNOW*, YEPW* Golden Age Pro Wrestling (4): MAW, NYCW, KCCW*, RMW* Guerrilla Warfare (2): ACPW, EX2010 Lucha Libre Entertainment (2): EILL, Kanzen* PG Rated Sports Entertainment (3): APW, RIPW, BPW* Respectful Wrestling (2): UEW, CWWF* Shoot-Style Wrestling (3): ALF*, LWW*, TIER 1* Wrestling As A Sport (7): BCG, CWW, SAISHO, JCW*, MGPW, PWMAX*, XWA* BTW, I also change ELITE and UCW and if I'm playing AltVerse - NOTBPW, CGC, SOTBPW. Products Without: Attitude Entertainment or Puerto Rican Hardcore - SNP I usually decide Attitude for the more Entertainment or Puerto Rican for the cultist "we love it and we'll keep coming back" feels I want from the company. Either or is pretty good. Though if I want to do my own hardcore company I'll make SNP PR Hardcore, so I can steal Attitude Entertainment. Avantgarde Puroresu - KITSUNE (KPW in base game) KITSUNE I transform into the DDT of CVerse. While you could say that WLW fills that spot, I feel that Avantgarde Puro and LuchaResu Entertainment isn't exactly the same. I also decide to integrate the roster as well just to add to the identity of it. Bar Room Entertainment - DIW I feel like DIW would be one of those places where you go drinking with the guys, while just being plastered and not caring who hears you swear. Cartoon Wrestling - FEW FEW's mission statement is that it wants everyone to have a good time for all ages. It feels like AltVerse's KPW and therefore this makes the most sense for them. Comic Book Dark - SWF Easy on the body, popular with the sponsors, yet still able to provide a more gritty version of wrestling than USPW. Ruthless Aggression doesn't get as many sponsors hence why I use this instead of that. Comic Book Light - RIPW It only makes sense that SWF's developmental area follows a similar style as SWF. Therefore, it makes the most sense to have it be the lighter version of SWF. Now if you feel SWF should be more PG because that would be more fitting, then just swap these two and there you go. Competitive Entertainment - WINNOW This allow WINNOW to be very similar to 5SSW's Fast And Furious without stepping on its toes. I figured it would be for the best to follow in the footsteps, but not quite. Crash TV - CGC I feel like CGC would be more akin to the old Crash TV style of wrestling. Aimed at key demos and still able to pull in sponsors no matter what. Also, if you have a bad product, Crash TV will hurt you quite a bit and would explain why in the AltVerse it has a rought time. East Meets West - NOTBPW, CWWF NOTBPW just feels like it borrows a lot from puroresu and would be the right type of company for this style, I feel. It does mean there is no more technical masterclass, but I feel that the company would more play up the storytelling of the technical work, rather than just have a technical masterclass alone. Due to CWWF's belts and mirroring of NOTBPW, that's why I put it here as well. Episodic Entertainment - DSPW Delhi Superstar Pro literally feels like someone from Bollywood one day decided "I'm getting into wrestling". Hence why I give them Episodic Entertainment. Very attractive to sponsors, being episodic means it is easy to get into and I usually do tapings for its TV show (and give them one) so that they feel entirely like that. Also Delhi Superstar Pro just fits better as a TV show title than a wrestling company, so I think they'd use that. Episodic Hardcore - ELITE The reason I swap ELITE to this is because they are based and back in Los Angeles. I'm sorry, if that's the case either Gritty Adult Noir or this makes the most sense for them. Why yes, I realize that UCW is Episodic Hardcore. And yeah, well, it isn't anymore. Episodic Lucha - EILL & SOTBPW You might question this, but I kind of feel like EILL should be you can tune in and immediately know what's going on. You haven't missed anything. Yet at the same time, if you still around, you get deeper meaning and worth in your show. That's why I leave KANZEN PRO as the Lucha Libre Entertainment company. Episodic Sport - 21CW I really think that the top company in the Isles would be more of a sports centric company with some entertainment on the side, rather than trying to be exactly like the States is. Fast And Furious And Deadly - UCW UCW's motto is hardcore but with the more modern cutting edge style to it. Well, that simply screams flippy stuff with going through tables if I ever heard it. Gritty Adult Noir - GSW Considering it is live out of the Warehouse Club in LA, I feel like GSW should be a Gritty Adult Noir type of company. Where it is like a TV show more than a wrestling show, though it does have wrestling in it. Hardcore Evolved - PSW Considering this is sort of the direct successor to DAVE, it would only make more sense that PSW takes over as hardcore has evolved, wouldn't it? Also the style is named Hardcore Redux before this change, so it only makes more sense. High-Flying Hardcore or Stunt Show - PWC I like to play into the name of Pheonix for this one. High-Flying Hardcore if I want it to be more hardcore, or Stunt Show if I want it to be more about what happens wrestling wise. Historic Lucha Libre - OLLIE I have no idea why OLLIE is listed as Classic. Original would indicate that it hasn't changed from the old days and so it would make more sense to be Historic than Classic. Hokey Southern Rasslin - OCW OCW seems like the more OTT company between TCW and it, so I usually swap it to the more OTT flavoured product. It still puts these two companies in a direct competition against one another as well. Lucha Libre Slobberknocker - L-Ring While influenced by Lucha Libre, I kind of think of L-Ring as this like more trying to beat each other up real style, which made me lean more towards this. Lucharesu - CZCW CZCW seems to borrow from lucha and from puroresu. Therefore, Lucharesu makes the most sense. It also is very easy on the body and would explain why a lot of Luchadors and Strong-Style guys like coming to their company. Considering WLW moves to the Entertainment version, it is kind of nice having someone fill in that need as a Lucharesu type. Lucharesu Amped Up - EXODUS The problem with EXODUS is that we've ran out of high flying companies that are not entertainment based. My only choices are to make this either Stunt Show or Lucharesu Amped Up. I picked Amped Up simply to retain that technical prowlness that is associate with Japanese wrestling. MMA Entertainment - TIER1 (TIER 1) Game needs a UFC, except staged, so here it is. That's why it is MMA Entertainment. Also the entire inspired thing by ALPHA screamed to me "oh, this totally what someone from NA would do". So that's how we get it here. Depending on how I feel, US or Canada. Modern Throwback - MAW, KCCW MAW just feels like it should be updated, but still retain what got it to us in the first place. Old School Wrestling, just updated with the times of today. KCCW also I think fits in more in this slot than elsewhere. Pseudo Sport - BPW, CWW With British Pro Wrestling, I like to make them have less glamour than 21CW, and considering I made them Episodic Sport, Pseudo Sport seemed like the best idea. The other reason I make them Pseudo Sport is because their titles really give off that image, therefore to me it makes the most sense to do that. I also feel that CWW more falls in line here. Ruthless Aggression - NWF It especially has a much more interesting place in the Isles if you go Ruthless Aggression. And yes, it would put them in direct competition with SNP if SNP is Attitude Entertainment and that's precisely the point. Soap Opuro - MGPW Mumbai GP stress that they are very steep in puroresu, but I believe they'd be Soap Opuro because of the Bollywood influences. So go all in on this and viola. Also, just like Delhi Superstar Pro, I feel like they'd go for a more TV sounding company name, hence why I call them Mumbai GP. Also you can play the two up as eternal rivals that way and put them on like competing TV slots and media companies. Strong Puroresu - JCW, LWW JCW follows in Kitozan's footsteps. Meaning that its wrestling needs to be between Wrestling As A Sport and MMA. As that's what Kitozan was promoting back in his day. BTW, shout out to willr0ck for the updated belts, logo and banner for JCW. LWW gives the same type of company feel, so therefore I put LWW here as well. Three Ring Circus - CWA Trying to find a happy marriage between the styles and not doing well is why CWA struggles. So this being its style makes sense. Now before you wonder why exactly lucha should be included, I like to think they also are trying to be the one stop shop of wrestling. You want entertainment, here you go. You want technical wrestling, here you go. You want high flying, here you go. Hence, Three Ring Circus makes the most sense. World Fusion - PWMAX While PWMAX has their motto of following the Japanese culture, I tend to tweak this company to be a melting pot of all wrestling styles, considering the name has MAX it should be every wrestling style to the MAX. If I leave it in the US, I usually move the company to the North West or Great Lakes to get out of CZCW's shadow. Most times I move the company to Canada, as Canada can use a few more new companies. It does leave me with the following: Campy Fun, Carnival Days, Catch Wrestling, Crash TV, Deathmatch, Deathmatch Lucha Libre, Gory Hardcore, Junior-Deathmatch Combined, Lighthearted Entertainment, Lucha Libre Burlesque, Memetic Wrestling, Monster Battle, Morality Wrestling, Performance Art, Psycho Circus, Risque Adult, Risque Comedy, Scripted Reality, Skit Based, Slobberknocker-Deathmatch Combined, Soap Opuro, Stoner Entertainment, Stoner Hardcore, Telenovela, Tres Ring Circus, Wrestling Burlesque, Xtreme Adult Filth And that's how I divy things up. I feel like this gives the best out of everything possible. Some do still end up in the same category because you can't really fit everyone into all different ones, but that's the best I can I do, I feel. Here are some companies that I usually add to the game or set up with an owner and let them have fun. Slobberknocker-Deathmatch Combined - Bushido Blood Puroresu Two divisions, titles to each one and away we go. I feel like making CyberAgent or whatever it is called with Bushido, KITSUNE and one more company and having fun with it. Telenovela - Lucha EXOTIC A good telenovela gets people to sit down and watch and that's what I like doing with the first luchadora company in Mexico. The only thing is trying to figure out how to make a season for it so that there's time off for wrestlers and such. I never remember how I get it to work. Slightly off topic, I also set up the worker generation from 2018 (AltVerse) or 2020 (base game) so that the types of wrestlers in an area more or less match the types of companies as well. Slightly more off topic. The more I thought about the India situation the more I really started thinking out a scenario for it. Why do I think this stuff up in the middle of my bloody night? That said, I hope you enjoy my ideas and take some inspiration from it. Or just be amused when looking at some of them and going "oh no, this is totally wrong".

Let's bucking go~! Those belts are just FANTASTIC. Great job Will!

Love the updated QoA logo and titles. They have a really wonderful feel to them. Thanks for sharing will! Can't wait to see the WSPW stuff. The logo looks fantastic.

Ah. Okay, the entire backstory makes way more sense now for the titles! Interesting stuff. Makes way more sense now.

After seeing the revamp for JCW, I have to say, I have a craving to play this revamped JCW. It gives a much different vibe to JCW and I for one want to try building it from the ground up. It looks so good! Thanks so much for it. Though, I will say I sort of wish the secondary and tag titles played up to the dragon theme that JCW now has though. Like I mean King of Dragons, Openweight Dragons, things like that. Though that's me just thinking to play up to the theme. Normally I don't do deathmatch stuff, but the work on BBP seems so wonderful that I must. Plus doing a company that alternates between deathmatches and slobberknockers seems like it could be a lot of fun. Think I'll give that a shot as well and see if I can't manage to pull that off. Might do this first just because it would be a lot different to me than just doing JCW. Thanks as always for these wonderful new logos, banners and belts, will. You honestly do so much great work.

Your welcome. Glad I could help. I borrow so often from this mod area that I just felt like I should contribute back to something at least. And this seems like a great thing to do. So thank you for doing it.

If you told me that Women of Wrestling would be coming back via Jeanie Buss (owner of the Los Angeles Lakers), have AJ Mendez (AJ Lee) on commentary, secure a TV deal with ViacomCBS, have The Beast (WOW World Champion) and Tessa Blanchard among the first signings, I would've said you are nuts. https://deadline.com/2021/10/viacomcbs-syndicating-wow-women-of-wrestling-u-s-1234851344/ Sorry didn't know if I should create a new thread or just use random for this.

Hey, I know we've got a thread for More Customization options for Training Facilities, but I want to actually suggest a revamp of them that I was thinking up. This is mostly 5 hours of late night thinking with lack of sleep so please excuse me if it rambles in places. Right now, facilitiees don't currently seem to have a specific purpose to them other than "oh, here's a school or a dojo or a performance centre". Just what you can afford. I think having each type provide different benefits would make more sense. It would also provide more varied gameplay and world building if this revamp is taken. My suggestion to rework Training Facilities: 1) Schools should be nearly all specialized and produce the least amount of wrestlers upon creation by AI (1-4). Schools are handled by specific trainers and thusly should be highly specialized by typing. For example, TITAN Factory should be producing big beefy powerful men (and women) who Dredd built the school for. Schools should be under the old system from 2016 where it creates an exact type of wrestler. They are specifically specialized in what the owner was as a wrestler or what the owner's interest lies in as a federation owner. Wrestlers who graduate from schools should also be at a higher in-ring primary skills standard than wrestlers from dojos or performance centres. Meaning that they are more prepared to join your roster right away. For smaller federations this is a higher boon, as you can get people who are ready to work for you right away. Downside of this is also that they are easier to be picked off because they don't take long to be wanted by other wrestling companies. Schools like the aforementioned TITAN Factory (Powerful), Dragon Academy (High Flyer), Tokyo Wrestling Dojo (Technician Striker), Ling School (Technician Flyer) should produce the talent that they are most well known for. It is hilariously frustrating to see these places produce wrestlers you know they would never. This doesn't mean that they can't produce talent outside of that, but it should be very rare. Another benefit is that owners of training schools can be hired as Road Agents. This can then benefit us players into hiring trainers as road agents to gain access to wrestlers without actually having to own a school. Trainers however will expect a guaranteed downside (if pay by event), so you can't just hire them to a contract and just never pay them anything. 2) Performance Centres should be generalized and produce a large amount of wrestlers upon creation by AI (8-12). Talents from Performance Centres are highly generalized (regular wrestlers) and start off with higher basics than Schools (lowest) and Dojos (middle). However, the added bonus is that the Performance Centres can have up to 30 people training after graduating. This pairs up nicely with a company that has a developmental federation, as you can have a lot of your developmental federation learning from on the job work as well as the Performance Centre. Allowing you to get your wrestlers onto your major roster faster and letting people go if they aren't developing as well as you'd like. Relationships will build much faster in Performance Centres than any other facility (Schools least, Dojos medium). However, that's a double edged sword. Not all relationships are good things. Most times you'll get such and such person likes another. Jerry will be best friends with James. However, Mike might absolutely hate David. Kim might dislike Anna. You take the good with the bad. Another thing is that Performance Centres that are not owned by companies would accept any wrestlers to come do further training at their facilities. As you can probably guess, this would allow the WWA facilities to be the type of training facilities I always believed they are. They don't just produce for the masses, they also help build up the masses as well. This would allow WWA to train up to at least 30 wrestlers (assuming 3 times normal), in a given country, thereby improving more wrestlers in the world at large and also change entire relationship dynamics because of that. The restriction for public Performance Centres is that they have to be talent that isn't hired. That way you get more of the talent that isn't doing anything to get more skilled. Costs are also still a major factor for this typing, so that's something to take into account as well for if you want to use this or not. 3) Dojos should be categorized and produce a standard amount of wrestlers upon creation by AI (4-8). Dojos should produce a type of wrestler that you are looking for. This will allow you to have a more varied roster and allow for a more true look to dojos for companies that have this style. They might not be quite ready for prime time just yet, but they'll definitely help the company flesh out. Examples: Americana (Southern) - Brawler, Entertainer, Technician Striker. Puro - Technician, Technician Striker, Striker. Juniorweight - Technician Flyers, High Flyer, Luchador. Cruiserweight - Highflyers, Technician Flyers, Entertainers. Heavyweight - Powerful, Impactful, Brawler. Luchador - Luchador, Technician Flyer, High Flyer. Spotfest - Daredevil, High Flyer, Technician Flyer. Extremist - Hardcore, Brawler, Entertainer. Gorefest - Psychopath, Hardcore, Entertainer. Faux-MMA - MMA Crossover, Technician Striker, Striker. Streetfighter - Brawler, Striker, Technician Striker. Comedy - Comedy, Entertainer, Brawler. Percentages would be like 70%, 25%, 5% in terms of training, with 70%, 25%, 5% being the wrestling style obtained by the wrestler. Allowing us to create a wide range of different types of dojos to go with our many different playstyles. Now my examples for categories was just what I think of when I think of these types. I realize that someone's going to look at Juniorweight and go "why is the 5% Luchador", but I was struggling with what type would fit which category. So Schools would provide specializations and ease of pipelines. Performance Centres allow for further training and tons of relationship building. What benefit would Dojos have? Chemistry. Students have worked with other dojo graduates who come to help out and therefore know them better. Better the facility, the more chemistry they'll have with your roster. Dojos owned by companies will produce double the amount a public one would. This would provide a reason to have each type of Training Facility and would modify current facilities to better represent each product that they are assigned to or for their designated background history. Thus making it so that it isn't like right now where I'll get so many heavyweights when in reality it should be more varied than what it currently is. Below are my other thoughts I had that apply to all and my ending statement. I think all training facilities should provide relationships creations, like I stated in Performance Centre. After all, people should have some relationships with people from the place they trained. It would also provide way more interesting world building to the game because Hiro might have a blood feud with Sakurai during Hiro's days in the dojo. In addition tag team chemistries should have chances of occurring within different types of schools. Schools would be just a 5% chance, 25% for Dojos, with Performance Centres allowing for 70% chance. The reason being is that you know more people and therefore build chemistry with them. Also yes, I went with the same percentages as I did the groupings. Figured it was a safe numbering to work with. There should also be drop down menus for Weight (All, Lightweight, Heavyweight), Eye Candy (Less Mental Stats, Higher Looks/Quality/Menace), Risk (Less Basic Stats, Allows Risk Taking like Bumps/Hardcore/Deathmatches) and Promo Work (Less Primary Stats, Higher Entertainment Stats) as well, to further evolve schools to fit their niches, specializations or just give us wrestlers who will actually kill themselves. Like TITAN providing only Heavyweight types, a school dedicated to the art of deathmatches (WEXXV), or say BSC's Eye Candy approach. We should also allow facilities to be upgraded from School to Dojo to Performance Centre and downgraded. There should be a hefty fee in either direction to do so. An option to sell to an "investor", which would allow companies to sell the facility to the public would be available if they can't downgrade the facility or if the company wishes to sell it off. I think AIs should also decide if they are ready to have Schools, Dojos, Performance Centres or not. This will allow for some facilities for places that don't have them. There's no reason USPW shouldn't have a training facility by now, especially should be a performance centre. Places like 21CW and BHOTWG should both have one as well I feel. Whew, that was a long time making and writing. I thank you for reading this idea of mine for a Training Facilities Revamp for TEW2020. I think the game could benefit from this type of a revamp in my opinion. Hope it is well received and able to be applied to TEW2020. Again, I apologize if at any point it is hard to understand, as it has been a long night for me. Started this idea up at nearly midnight, spent till now 5:53am my time posting it.

I found the lore for some of the federations in the Yet To Open quite funny. Like Canadian Women's Wrestling Federation's bio still insists that it should be the first female wrestling company in Canada. By 2020, I would've figured it would be open right now (and probably only will be via will's mod). Or how Phoenix Wrestling Company is supposed to be a spiritual successor to DAVE, yet PSW and FCW are basically that. In all honesty, I would think PWC is more where Hardcore wrestling has been reborn/evolved into something new. Really a lot of those companies should probably be repackaged, I think. The bios and original conditions for them have greatly changed from when they were originally introduced. As far as in game lore that's current, I find it interesting that Sam's son Matthew pretty much is staying in Japan. I would've figured he'd come home to the US and end up in a feud with his brother at one point or another. However, he seems to be making himself a name in NEO and BHOTWG, and so I doubt he'll ever make it back to the States unless he's stolen like really late into this career.

I don't think I would've ever thought that CWA would've been a thing. I expected CGC or NOTBPW to have died out if the other one was winning.

Man, these belts rock will. Question about Kitsune belts though. Is Foxcatcher supposed to be the Joshi belt? My brain is hesitant on thinking it is for some reason.

That's an amazing logo. Love it. Great job again will.

Exactly. Though I think the product would be Modern Throwback in this case, as they still want that old school feeling, just retrofitted for today's market.

That MAW logo looks like they rebrand to a new name like Major Athletic Wrestling or something. Nice stuff.

Holy moly. That generic version absolutely rocks. Edit: I mean normal is great too, but the generic is fantastic for a generic. Has lots of personality.

Holy hell Kam, that Cape Cod one is fantastic!
