That's actually amazing. She was one of the more entertaining mangers around during that time period of SHIMMER to my friends and I. I specifically remember her shouting "THAT WAS TROIS" after pin attempts leading to a section of fans also shouting along with her the more it went on. I'm kind of surprised she never really took off more as a manager because she had a knack for it but hopefully she's doing well. Time to sign her in my game and give her that big break to get that incident as well .

I had this happen quite a bit as well in one of my first games using the beta. I managed to get Candice LeRae from NXT and she ended up getting that note but it didn't seem to hurt too badly since she was still gaining momentum normally. Quite a few of the other women got it as well but I found the unimportant note to be a harder deal than that penalty. I brought in Deonna and made her champion unseating Nyla and beating quite a few women along the way but couldn't get her out of unimportant or gain her much popularity. The former Sarah Logan on the other hand was probably the best signing I made who didn't get that note and was over enough to be able to hold her own. It's weird to get used to because some people you think wouldn't get it in real life, get it but in other ways, there are some talents people probably wouldn't be too pleased to see in reality either. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the save but I had signed Ember Moon and was curious to see how she would have been reacted to.

I've been waiting for someone to actually make use of the GIF situation for the real world and commend you for taking this on cause I can easily tell you I'd use it in a heartbeat. I love normal pictures but there's something about immersion if you have a talent with the company they're in logo, especially if you make that huge steal and change the landscape of wrestling. It's only cosmetic but it just adds to the big deal factor in my book. You took it a step farther though with the way this is laid out to make it even better.

A few suggestions: Nevaeh and Kimber Lee should be added to Impact whenever the chance arises. Admittedly, I don't keep 100% up to date with Impact but it seems Kimber Lee is a heel and Nevaeh currently hasn't really been defined. Assuming she joins up with Havok, I would believe she's a face. Nevaeh should be set to be married to Jake Crist while Kimber Lee set to engaged to Zachary Wentz. Cheerleader Melissa and Kate Forbes- Strong Friendship Alexa Bliss and Sasha Banks- Strong Dislike Mia Yim and Shelton Benjamin- Strong Friendship Zoe Lucas should be set to active in the US and Japan as she's wrestled for SHIMMER and STARDOM. That's all I've got now but look forward to seeing this mod continue to grow and thanks for all the hard work, it's been a lot of fun so far playing.

Just want to say that I really like the presentation with the pic pack and the amount of work that you can tell went into the stats and leveling things off so thank you for the time and effort into it. Not really a mod issue but may be a game one, I noticed in attempting to hire some legends (Flair, Steamboat) that they declined offers wanting to retire in peace. Checking the editor, I noticed that at least Flair has wrestling in the blood so that's kind of odd since I would imagine that would make him continue to be involved. It also seems like WWE go on a major hiring spree so the owner preferences may need to be tuned up there. Overall, I look forward to the depth that personalities and other little touches that get fixed up over time will bring to enhance things even more. I also hope to see some more younger American independent womens wrestlers added into the game in the future to flesh out that scene a little more (but I'm quite happy enough Portia Perez made it in as a big fan). I definitely will be attempting a long term game once the game itself is released and the mod continues to come along. Keep up the great work and all the best.

<p>I don't really log in too much anymore but had to give my thanks as well for all of the effort you've put into making this mod over the years. Even through the tough times whether through personal issues or just burnout, you trooped through and kept going with it. I'm very happy to have helped early on in the mod (the first update I really contributed in that major of a way to since the Rave-X EWR days which in some ways, this mod always reminded me of with TheWho reminding me a lot of T-Zone). While the mod is in good hands from the sounds of it, will miss seeing your name attached to it and putting it together.</p><p> </p><p> However, I'm glad you're sticking creating mods and something that brings you a lot more joy to put together. Thank you for creating something that I spent a few real life years investing into a lot of fictional years with long term games. Despite all the sometimes endless requests/suggestions, headaches that arise and various other negatives that go with it, I hope the positives of creating something that created a lot of memories for people with the game made it all worth it in the end. All the best with your current/future projects and thanks again for all of your hard work and time that was invested into it!</p>

<p>Just an idea that may be useful or future updates since this one is on the brink of being released already (if gimmicks have already been addressed, my apology in advance but I haven't been as active lately). Having tried to work with various updates and update the gimmick files from scratch, it's a lot of tedious work and I can understand not even wanting to start that process.</p><p> </p><p> So what I've been doing the last couple of months of updates, is going into the gimmick section in the editor and using mass delete to get rid of every outdated/nonsensical gimmick to trim down the file, ones that I knew no one in the game was more than likely using. Then I usually import the default gimmicks to fill in ones added to the default data with the game that aren't in this update. You can even take this a step further and delete gimmicks you know a select few use but are kind of outdated in tone (ie, authority figure which I believe is strictly suited to a heel as is but in the default is now suited to both babyface and heel). However this would lead to having to figure out who doesn't have a gimmick after that and replacing them so I would only suggest that if you did have the time to scope through and see who doesn't have one. Either way, I've been doing this so figured I'd pass it along.</p>

<p>Some notes in general for RWC (and in turn Reina Chaos for some of these):</p><p> </p><p> Ivelisse appears to be pregnant which means she'll be out for a bit. I might alter her personality given some of the issues she's had in the past and known for being hard to work with in various promotions.</p><p> </p><p> From a few accounts, Tessa Blanchard's personality should be altered. Her reputation doesn't yield much of a positive one in terms of attitude. Ditto Kelly Klein who seemed to be a bit of the reason that Veda Scott left ROH.</p><p> </p><p> On the opposite end of things, I would probably give Deonna Purrazzo a more positive personality as I always see a lot of praise for the way she carries herself.</p><p> </p><p> Jessicka Havok and Sami Callihan should be set to dating.</p><p> </p><p> Crazy Mary Dobson and Ray Rowe should also be set to dating.</p><p> </p><p> Mandy Leon and Delirious should be set to dating.</p><p> </p><p> Addy Starr retired and seems to be out of wrestling for now (hopefully she lives on in Reina Chaos for some lego deathmatches).</p><p> </p><p> This ones way more speculative on social media since there's no definitive spoken proof of it but between some of the stiff shots heading into Survivor Series and their matches back in their NXT days, Sasha Banks and Alexa Bliss don't seem too fond of each other.</p><p> </p><p> You could potentially add a mentor relationship with Candice LeRae for Britt Baker as she seemed to have a heavy hand in her training. Some others would be Veda Scott and Daizee Haze, Kimber Lee and Drew Gulak.</p>

<p>Since user relationships were mentioned, has anyone seen any positive ones formed naturally or know if they do? I know some handling of incidents can lead to stuff like loyalty along with shoot interviews with released talent potentially praising the user but I'm talking in terms of relationships that spawn in the game normally.</p><p> </p><p> I was thinking how unique that could be if your user character ended up in a dating relationship or in a friendship and the backstage environment minefield you'd have with people thinking it's special treatment (ala Triple H and Stephanie or Bischoff and Hogan respectively). I was hoping that the pep talks after big shows would lead to something like this since it mentions relationships but I'm guessing that positive ones only lead to morale changes and negative form relationships.</p>

<p>On a non stats note, back with the usual twice a year SHIMMER notes:</p><p> </p><p> Christina Von Eerie is back, seemingly as a heel.</p><p> </p><p> Cat Power is also back as a heel.</p><p> </p><p> Nevaeh has also returned as a heel.</p><p> </p><p> Marti Belle should also be added as a heel.</p><p> </p><p> I might wait to see where this NXT thing goes but Mickie James also wrestled on these tapings. If she does get added she would be a face.</p><p> </p><p> Sexy Star also wrestled on them under the name Dulce Garcia as a face.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Title changes:</p><p> </p><p> Kellie Skater won the SHIMMER Championship on November 12th and lost it back the next day to Mercedes Martinez.</p><p> </p><p> Mount Tessa (Tessa Blanchard and Vanessa Kraven) won the SHIMMER Tag Team Championships on November 13th.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Location changes:</p><p> </p><p> Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano should now be based in the South East. On that note, Tommaso Ciampa as well.</p><p> </p><p> Portia Perez and RD Evans should be based in the Tri State (RD is actually working with the WWE creative team but that's a hard role to replicate in TEW).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Relationship Changes:</p><p> </p><p> Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano should be changed to married.</p><p> </p><p> Joey Ryan and Laura James should also be changed to married.</p><p> </p><p> May have already got this one but Alberto and Paige are engaged.</p><p> </p><p> Edge and Beth Phoenix should be changed to married.</p><p> </p><p> Rich Swann and Su Yung should be changed to engaged.</p><p> </p><p> Tyler Breeze and Ashley Miller should be changed to married.</p><p> </p><p> I'm not sure SoCal Val and Elijah Burke are still dating since that was a long time ago so I'd probably delete that one.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> That should be all for now. Thanks as always for all the hard work Fleisch, I know updating RWC can be a drain and something that can burn one out but know that your work is always appreciated and valued with these releases.</p>

<p>Thanks for the surprise update, definitely looking forward to starting some new games with it.</p><p> </p><p> As an injury note, unfortunately Madison Eagles suffered a knee injury that's going to keep her out for nearly a year so that's one to add in there for the next release.</p>

<p>SHIMMER events were this past weekend so figured I'd send a long some notes for that for the future with RWC.</p><p> </p><p> Debuts/returns:</p><p> </p><p> Nixon Newell (old school face/fun babyface)</p><p> </p><p> Viper (I'd probably give her a heel brute gimmick (I haven't seen a whole lot of her to know))</p><p> </p><p> Solo Darling (fun babyface)</p><p> </p><p> Scarlett Bordeaux (fun babyface)</p><p> </p><p> Mercedes Martinez (old school heel)</p><p> </p><p> Tag Team Addition:</p><p> </p><p> Fly High (Mia Yim and Kay Lee Ray)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> They filmed up to volume 85 so 86 should be the starting point for next update.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Championship changes (spoilers):</p><p> </p><p> <span style="color:#FFFFFF;">SHIMMER Championship- Mercedes Martinez</span></p><p><span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#FFFFFF;"> SHIMMER Tag Team Championship- Evie and Heidi Lovelace</span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Other Notes:</p><p> </p><p> Seleziya Sparx and Mike Bailey were both caught sneaking into America for indy shows without a work visa, Seleziya should be removed from ROH and both should have US unchecked for regions they can work in as they were banned for a few years.</p>

I just want to make a point as to why a post like this is ridiculous and why I'm glad this mod is more of a challenge than everyone having a good stats. With the beta, I started a cult company and with the right booking/focus on the right guys, took a company to national within a year off of the backs of an aging Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio, with Angle in time decline. Angle ended up getting poached by WWE when I tried to sign him to a written deal and I still made it to national with Ryback (all A's in popularity) as my top star. I can only imagine playing as WWE with a product more geared towards entertainment and some of the talent you start with. Point being, with the right talent, you can book to their strengths and start churning out higher and higher rated shows like it should be in real life. There would be no upward movement if everyone had kind stats that aren't realistic at all and I was pulling A's with Kurt and Rey like they were in their prime right off the bat. Nor would there be much rewarding about seeing guys go from being solid wrestlers to great wrestlers wrestling around the world (looking at you Will Ospreay who worked everywhere including touring with multiple Japan promotions). Stats are subjective and no one is going to agree on everyone but for me, the true value of a mod is being able to tell stories like this about my games that are completely different, each and every game. That's the real making of a good mod and there are many great mods for TEW that do this including this one.

<p>Since someone mentioned a promotion pic not being linked, Veda Scott's AIW and SHIMMER pictures need to be set to her default.</p><p> </p><p> Brooke Adams should be set to maternity leave, I believe she announced this back in February so that should give a time frame to how long. On the opposite end, I would take out Angelina Love's as while not quite back in the ring, she's been booked for conventions.</p><p> </p><p> May also be a good idea to take The Rock off of hiatus and have him filming a movie for a set amount of time, maybe until Summerslam time when it's potentially a good time for him to make an appearance.</p><p> </p><p> Also been going through each time and setting locations for the unemployed so if you ever get to the point of doing so or need any help with that area US wise, I'd be happy to help in any way I can. It does lead to a lot of unemployed talent dominating the South East and Tri State areas but it's realistic to real life.</p><p> </p><p> Many thanks as always for the updated data.</p>
