Love what I've seen from Trish Adora. She's pretty great in the ring and has some real star quality. She hits pretty hard too and someone the fans can get behind. Hope Tony gives Trisha some more AEW matches. Trish is terrific in TEW RW mods, and she seems to have the future champion potential in real life that the modmakers assign her. I don't really get Abadon. They're too small for me to take the taker-style no-selling seriously. Feel they also needed to presented better for the gimmick to get over. Tony presented Abadon as a jobber early on and really did them dirty. They do have a great look, though. Maybe they would do better in a manager/interference runner role? Abadon would fit in with the House of Black, tagging with either Malakai or Julia depending on what the situation requires. Abadon has great fashion sense. They could really help the other members with outfits. Brody King, among others, could use a new look. Julia Hart is an absolute stud. Everything she touches right now is great. Her post-match confrontation with Abadon was excellent. I think Julia Hart's on the same level as Jamie Hayter now. When AEW has a women's revolution, Hart and Hayter will lead it.

Right now, they aren't doing anything more nefarious than like JAS or The Inner Circle. And given that House of Black is a quasi-Satanic group, they should at least try to abduct someone, if not set someone on fire. Simply aesthetically, they could really use some more piercings or facepaint.

They need to lean into the Occult stuff more often, and make the House of Black feel more distinct like the Ministry or Raven's Flock did. House of Black could really use a lineup change to freshen the group up. Malakai kicking Buddy Matthews from the group would make a lot of sense.

Looking for two players to start a multiplayer save with jhd1's excellent Wrestling Timelines: 1986 mod as a base*. We'd be playing together as the Pro Wrestling USA Alliance to take down NWA & WWF. I would like to get two more players in -- one on World Class and a player that could either be a small-sized player-created promotion% or any non-NWA, non-WWF affiliated promotion. Real-world options include Stampede, UWF or WWA.$ I'll be playing -- and writing a diary -- with CWA. I can help with logos and belts for a player-created company. You can start with as much money for the custom promotion as you want. Wouldn't mind players on either JCP or WWF as well should someone want to. Each promotion will have start with one cross-promtional event -- CWA will run Pro Wrestling USA Battlestars in Feburary, AWA will start in the data with Pro Wrestling USA Super Clash in June, and World Class will start with Pro Wrestling USA Star Wars in November. (You can always change the starting schedule) If players want a discord or message board for the game, I can make one. Should be a lot fun! Can't wait to get back into some Multiplayer! *I've made some minor tweaks to accommodate Asamon's & jan5's Broadcaster Expansion and Asamon's Venue Expansion add-ons. $I add WWA based on the WWA promotion data in the 1985 Risky Business Mod %You can start with as much money as you want for the custom promotion.

Matthew Keith and Koshiro Ino are two guys who, in time, seem positioned to have a great blood feud after NEO Prime splits. (I might or might not have designed a whole mod around that potential feud) Brooke Tyler and Lucy Stone-McFly seem destined to clash at the top of CWA for a long time. Pink Spider and Pumpkin Jack seem positioned to start a great rivalry that will headline ZEN cards for years to come.

I thought it came out really well. Glad you liked it! -KYE

Done. Gave it an 80's feel. Hope you like it!

Was sick, will get to this soon.

I have to think Roderick Strong is under the devil mask. He's been faking an on-and-off injury for a while now and already has goons doing his dirty work. And no one else other than Wardlow has beef with MJF. If this eventually leads to an Adam Cole heel turn, all the better. He's better as a heel anyway.

Punk's still got a lot left in the tank. If he can't stay healthy, you could always use Punk as a manager or color commentator. He could like Jerry Lawler or JBL remain with the company in an on-screen role decades after retirement and do a great job. With his history with Dana White and UFC, Punk could be a great bridge between the McMahon ownership group and the new ownership group. If I'm WWE, I have to think you capitalize on the momentum and run him vs. Reigns soon while Punk is healthy. Since Roman beat Punk's record for the streak, you could always have that be a bone of contention between the two stars.

Bossman isn't bad in the ring, but that gimmick in '95 was pretty bad. Orndorff was one of Hogan's first major WWF Feuds. He actually permanently injured his arm to put Hogan over -- Orndoff didn't get treatment that's part of the reason Orndoff's arm is the way it is. There's a great worked shoot promo there if you want go that route. Roma's good enough in the ring and still pretty over. He starts in a tag team with Orndorff. Him and Orndorff could probably have some great matches with The Mega Powers and others. Speaking of tag teams, was watching some early JCP Stuff and would love to see you bring in The New Breed (WCW Version). They would be fun to watch in that Nitro product. Not sure how good the match ratings would be, but Royal and Champion could go in real life. (I've recently become a pretty big New Breed mark and have been telling everyone with a 90s diary to bring them in. They were ahead of their time and wouldn't be out of place today)

Can get to this this weekend. May need a try or two. (Some examples of my work are in this thread)

I can't do it from scratch, but I can edit an existing title to make an AWA United States Belt. (I think the MACW/NWA United States Title made into the AWA Style would look wonderful) (I mean I can do it from scratch but it won't look very good) Will take me a day or two to get it done but should be done Saturday. (Ignore the post count, I've been here making graphics here for a decade)

Glad to see someone else doing 21CW. A lot of posters shy away from doing 21CW or RAW because they believe you have to be British or Australian to do that justice. Since most major C-Verse companies are based off real world American companies any wrestling fan can do a great job covering them. (Japan, of course, is the exception). Looking forward to your take on 21CW. (Push Mark Adonis, he's money in the bank)

As a Rick Martel fan, only if Rick wins the AWA World Title after the two split.

Both agree and disagree here. You are absolutely right about most fans not knowing who Osprey is. AEW also wants to start running Wembley every year, Osprey coming in was arguably their biggest English star and since Tony strapped a rock to him, Osprey has become even bigger. That win over Jericho at All In London absolutely was a star-making push for him. If Osprey left for WWE, he might not come in a star but given that WWE wants to push guys so they run big UK Shows (Drew McIntyre for example) WWE would make Osprey a star. It's addition to AEW in part by subtraction. Look at Sheamus, someone who isn't nearly as skilled or talented or has Osprey's star quality, WWE absolutely stuck a rocket on him and have continued to give him a push because of who Sheamus can draw to the product.

CW: Discussion of Genocide, Violence, Bigotry Even if this was true, a good chunk of the AEW base hate Ronda and many will absolutely stop buying tickets. Ronda Rousey is one of the visible American transphobes when there's an entire American political party (The GOP) who wants to genocide trans people. Hiring Ronda Rousey is a PR disaster. And Tony Khan hired her for a developmental brand several thousand people watch on an internet subscription service solely so a couple news organizations will write about it. Did Mainstream Media write about Ronda's debut? Yes. Mainstream media wrote about David Arquette winning the title and probably when Courntey Cox showed up on Nitro and that killed WCW. And Courtney Cox from Friends was a way bigger mainstream star in 2000 than Ronda Rousey is today. You don't sign people to get a headline. Wrestling fans don't care about Ronda, she has go away heat for the comments shes made about wrestling, her poor in-ring work and rumored backstage attitude. She won't draw a dime that's why Ronda is in ROH. If nothing else, it's a huge risk for no reward. Author's Note: Because of how heated this discussion is, this will be the last statement I make on the matter. As a lbgtq+ person, I'm trying to give my friends here a lbqtq+ perspective the Ronda Rousey signing and how it will influence AEW, because I know that we have many on this board very invested in the company and I want to give them an honest assessment of the situation. I have tried to remove emotion and/or inflammatory material from this post. I don't think most wrestling fans understand how disproportionately lbgtq+ the AEW fan base is compared to the general population and I want to emphasize that.

CW: Transphobia, Hate Speech As an lbgtq+ person, Tony employing Ronda Rousey in any capacity will make it difficult for me to personally support AEW in any way. Her comments about trans woman Fallon Fox were completely unacceptable but ESPECIALLY in our current political climate. As far as I can tell Ronda has made no attempts to apologize or change her views or reflect. As part of the career community, I will personally attest that lbgtq+ fans are a huge and very loyal part of AEW's fanbase. Employing Ronda Rousey will immediately hurt AEW attendance and ticket sales. AEW's fanbase is built upon American New Japan fans and American Stardom Fans. Overwhelmingly, these fans are either lbgtq+ themselves or love someone who is. It isn't 1996, most Anime fans aren't cis white men anymore. Especially when the most over truly homegrown talent The Acclaimed are also the most important lbgtq+ act in wrestling right now. (I'm counting MJF as an MLW product but given the merchandise numbers you could argue The Acclaimed are more over now). What if Anthony Bowens rips into AEW for hiring Rousey? What if he decides to leave AEW when his (4-year contract from 2020) comes up? Bowens is The Acclaimed, he does almost all the microphone work and most the in-ring work for the trio, without him the leading merch seller in AEW ceases to exist overnight. I know not everyone here is not part of the lbgtq+ community like me. Tony Khan has made a monumental business mistake employing Ronda and unless he apologizes and this will hurt the company. Regardless of your opinion on Ronda, from a business perspective Tony just made a massive mistake.
