Couple of typos: two Ls in Hogans name on the Super Man narrative and it says “starting” instead of “starring” on the terminator one

Yeah I agree with this. It’s kind of the grey area TEW contracts don’t cover. They definitely weren’t free to work places TNA didn’t want them to like ROH and WWE so exclusive contracts and loans makes sense

I echo a lot of the same sentiments here. I’ve also had numerous people offer to help with the areas that are my complete blind spots in the wrestling world like smaller Japanese feds and Joshi companies but when it came down to actually trying to press them to hammer down the stats for the workers and such they really couldn’t offer effective help, or at least in a way that would keep the game world balanced. I even came across someone that said, “well stats aren’t really my thing, I’d just rather have the workers available in the data” where for me I would rather have a more balanced and working game world.

This mod was originally based on the "2004 - A Data" mod by Anderz (TEW 2010), and was built using a conversion of the TEW 2016 version of my "Ruthless Aggression" January 2004 Database which has been thoroughly edited and expanded upon. It is not to be confused with the "Ruthless Aggression" mod converted and released by Mr. Villain for TEW 2020. It has been in development in some shape or form since 2020, and will likely always be being worked on and improved. A few items to note for this BETA release: - DDT and NOAH have now been finished in line with the rest of the promotions in the game world. - Mexico is set as inactive. CMLL and AAA are not in any shape to be playable at this time but will hopefully be edited and fleshed out in a later update. None of the Mexican workers have really been touched yet, so for best results this game area should be left inactive. - There are still about 100 US free agents that haven't been edited yet, and a handful of free agents in Japan that have to be edited. - The future workers still need to be edited and balanced as well as expanded upon.

Pro Wrestling NOAH and DDT Pro Wrestling are now complete

It’s been a struggle for me to add what is currently in Japan due to my lack of puro knowledge, so I can’t say that they are a priority at this time.

Just some tips: - Don’t feel like you owe anyone anything. Life is going to happen and stuff is going to come up that will make it impossible to work on this. - starting from scratch is a daunting task. Set small goals and work your way toward bigger milestones so that you don’t get burnt out. - anything quality is going to be worth the time and effort. Take your time, and try to have fun doing it.

Thanks, I have to look over ROH’s events again. - I won’t be setting any of the schedules/events to fixed as you run the company being put out of business. - they did multiple double shot weekends where you will have night 1 / night 2 events. Sometimes the AI chooses to get rid of the night one event and run night two. Therefor these double shots were only put in as single shows.

I’ve incorporated a lot of the suggestions I’ve gotten so far across Discord and the forums, in addition to completely finishing Pro Wrestling NOAH. DDT is almost done as well. There is a change log listed on the Discord for those interested. Not sure just yet on when the next BETA release will be.

This. Cagematch helps. You can also search out reports for when the wrestler’s deal was up. Mark Henry for instance had a ridiculously long initial WWE contract of like 10 years

I would just import the important things from the default database (NFL, MLB, etc)

Feel free to use my 2004 data to reference or for anything else as well. Best of luck.

You have to pick which one you want to use from the pack (my personal favorite is pwtorch). Rename the file to Website_90s.jpg. Then open up your skins folder, choose the skin you’re using > backgrounds > rename the current Website_90s.jpg that belongs to the skin to something else like “Website_90s(old).jpg” and then drop in the one from the pack.

PUBLIC BETA RELEASE (BETA 1.0) "It All Begins Again" (April 2004) TEW 2020 Mod by iDOL BETA Release 1.0 Date: February 18, 2020 Release Notes: Welcome to the first public BETA release of "It All Begins Again" (IABA 04), an April 2004 Real World Historical Mod for TEW 2020. This mod was originally based on the "2004 - A Data" mod by Anderz (TEW 2010), and was built using a conversion of the TEW 2016 version of my "Ruthless Aggression" January 2004 Database which has been thoroughly edited and expanded upon. It is not to be confused with the "Ruthless Aggression" mod converted and released by Mr. Villain for TEW 2020. It has been in development in some shape or form since 2020, and will likely always be being worked on and improved. A few items to note for this BETA release: DDT and NOAH should playable in their current state but are not yet 100 % accurate and have not been finished. About half of DDT's roster has been gone through to the same extent that the rest of the workers in the game world have. Mexico is set as inactive (in addition to Australia and India which have no active promotions.) CMLL and AAA are not in any shape to be playable at this time but will hopefully be edited and fleshed out in a later update. None of the Mexican workers have really been touched yet, so for best results this game area should be left inactive. There are only about 100 US free agents that haven't been edited yet. They are the top priority in addition to finishing off NOAH, DDT and tackling Mexico. The future workers still need to be edited and balanced as well as expanded upon. While I am not finished yet with the data, I figure that most of the promotions that the majority of players will want to play as are done and I can get the data out to them so that error reports can start coming in and we can get some things fixed as I go. Special thanks to the following: gazwefc83 for his awesome Trading Card/Sticker .Gif Pack that has been used and expanded upon for this version of the mod and for his continued help and support. Anyone who has contributed to the Trading Card/Sticker .Gif Pack with their art. gazfewc83, TheWho87, Questlove, NoLegsGaming, Bigpapa42, Fleisch and Mammoth for allowing me to import and edit workers to my needs from their amazing databases. cagematch.net, wrestlingdata.com, prowrestling.fandom.com, profightdb.com and The Wayback Machine which have been invaluable resources for creating this mod. Some hard to find title images utilize Hellfire_Designs (u/HexHellfire) amazing title belt renders found online. The following people who made the past versions of the (January 2004) Ruthless Aggression Mods possible by offering their data for imports, personally helping out with the editing process, or giving their insight on various topics: Genadi, Hive, Mr. Perfekt, LUKIE, XxFutureLegend112xX, Oyaji, Bigpapa42, cpt. charisma, Matt Shannon, Fleisch, OGPistolPete, OLLIE, TheWho87, sock puppet, Slim Jim, Mr. Canada, and anyone I’ve accidentally missed! Additional Notes: Those of you that played Extreme Warfare Revenge for hours on end will appreciate the EWR inspired easter eggs that have been added into this mod. For instance, the angle pack that is included makes use of more than 300 basic angles similar to those included in EWR 4.2 and organized the very same way that they were in the game. In addition, everyone's favorite booking duo of Adam Ryland and Sophie have been included as user avatars to choose at the start of each game - - and that's not all. Remember how if you were lucky enough, that iconic pair of albino rodents would pop up in game? Pinky's Narf! Poit! Wrestling? and The Brain's World Domination Wrestling have been included as future promotions in the mod. If you want to open up the possibility of either mouse showing up in the game, just leave them both in as active characters in the game world at the start of your game. (Due to the way that TEW's game engine works, Pinky and The Brain could potentially become the bookers of existing promotions and cause even more mayhem!) In the interest of keeping "realism" and not wanting to see Sting immediately signed up by the WWE AI, a Simmering Tension relationship has been added between Sting and Vince McMahon. Since Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg left WWE on bad terms, a Simmering Tension relationship was added for each of them with Vince McMahon as well. This usually prevents the AI from signing them at the start of the game, and in a number of test plays both men eventually made it to NJPW or AJPW. Scott Steiner was also sitting out the remainder of his WWE contract at this point and has both a starting absence and a Simmering Tension relationship with Vince McMahon to simulate this. Simply delete these relationships in the editor if you disagree with these decisions. All deceased workers that appear in the database are there for cosmetic reasons only (HOF, HOI, Title Histories, Etc) as such, their skills, attributes, health and popularity have all been set to zero as I couldn't see the point in spending hours balancing the stats, pop and attributes for a bunch of workers who will never actually be active in the game. There are custom promotions in the game set to debut, or potentially debut at various points in the future. If this bothers you, or breaks your immersion for a ultra-realistic playing experience, you can delete them in the editor. They are: 3 Lions Wrestling, Canadian Wrestling Coalition, DOKU Puroresu, FOX Wrestling, HULKAMANIA Wrestling Federation, Narf! Poit! Wrestling? (Pinky's company), Paradise Pro Wrestling, Ric Flair Promotions, United States Pro Wrestling and World Domination Wrestling (The Brain's Company). A note about JCW: at this time, Juggalo Championshit Wrestling was only running shows around their yearly Gathering of the Juggalos festival and wouldn't actually run a full time promotion until a couple of years later when they started the Slam TV web series. Their starting roster is based on those that were used for the infamous JCW VHS tapes. In the interest of giving workers more places to work and develop their skills, I've given JCW a monthly event called "Oddball Wrestling" in homage to one of their recurring events that would debut in real life around 2009. If you want the scenario to strictly reflect the time period true to life, you can delete Oddball Wrestling, or delete JCW completely. I recommend leaving them in though, because their roster tends to be pretty fun and the results can get pretty entertaining.

Damn @willr0ck - THAT is how you use AI!

Thanks, that one was the trickiest thus far. I actually used up all of my attempts in Chat GPT on her and had to come back. It was incredibly tough for the AI to find the middle ground of feminine features with muscular physique and Bad Ass looking attire I wanted as you can see by the two extremes here:

More future workers from @The Blonde Bomber 70's C-Verse Mod "Perks and Wrecks" Allie Perks Allison Addison Alpha Female EDIT: "Black Widow" Zofia Jankovic (w/ Alt)
