Just noticed the second one was the banner...I was wondering "why did he post that tweet..." I am really digging the volcano. Looks a little grainy, but could be my phone.

I have some "unbranded" graphics that you might find useful. http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=549683 Haven't updated in a bit, but there might be more in the Custom Graphics Request Thread in the mod forum. If not, feel free to drop a request in that thread.

Thanks for the info.

I don't know if there is a resource for this already - what are the popularity levels for main eventers at Medium? I think it is relative to the roster, but if you have a bunch of unknowns and some guys at 20 popularity there's no way you stay at medium right?

X amount of people will watch regardless for the time being. I would check it out if I could but they are on cable and their streaming app is only available overseas.

I don't have the game in front of me, but doesn't it also take into account the popularity in that region? Like if my top guy was 65 in the US, and I loaned him out to Japan where his popularity was in the 40s, he could be booked to lose to someone higher on the card. And like the CWA example, if the Japanese guy has low pop in Canada, it shouldn't prevent you from putting him against comparable talent.

I haven't run a "strict divide" company for a while. I still treat them as heels and faces, and mostly keep to face/heel but like you described, it opens up booking possibilities. What the match focus is (main event, three ring circus, etc would also mitigate the overall penalty you would see on the show.</p>

I was told the penalty wasn't great. I think it is lower than heel vs heel is, too. Are you planning on it to be your main event?

The first thing I do when I start WWE saves is to get rid of thematic PPV's (HIAC, Elimination Chamber, No Way Out, Extreme Rules). To me, this type of matches need to happen naturally, make them special. I have an April 2018 WWE save, which started in June 2016, where I've had 1 HIAC and 1 Elimination Chamber, for example. I don't have a Chamber in my plans, the next HIAC is going to be in the 2019 WrestleMania.<p> </p><p> However, I like "tournament" PPV's, so I keep MITB, KOTR and the Rumble.

There have been so many HIAC in real life that just didn't need to happen. I would stick to the Big 4 being special, and each of the 4 already seem to have their gimmicks set. For the rest, I would let it come organically. If there is some blood feud that just can't be contained, then make it HIAC. And if it happens at WM, great. If it happens at your Extreme Rules or Halloween Havoc, that's great, too.</p>

Sockpuppet has one that's really good. It's in the Mod Index Thread towards the bottom of the opening post.

I am pretty sure I've kept the original database - which I then copied to add the mods. Are there no scandals in the default data? That seems odd.

How would you book the feast or fired match? Multiple fall Item on a pole match?

I remember on the EWB boards there was a legendary game where The Mountie beat Bret Hart for the IC title and went on to be a huge success (without taking away from Bret's success either - it wasn't like they just swapped spots).

Then re-import the two from TITAN? Seems simple enough, yes.

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but it looks like one of the other expansions (probably the indie yet to debut one?) has Abomination and Monstrosity as luchadores. What would be the easiest way to recreate them?

Thing is the whole Bianca thing was mishandled. She's a freak athlete and incredibly strong. And the whole time on the main roster it's been "aww shucks, so happy to be here, looking forward to all these great matches." That was fine for about 5 minutes, but as soon as she won that title it should have been "this is pretty awesome to go up against the women I looked up to when I was in NXT but now there's work to do to prove I am better than they are." Being awestruck by Becky? I get she is massively over, but it's not like The Rock walked down to the ring. Becky did the right thing. Killing Carmella isn't a heel move, nor is taking advantage of an awestruck babyface. the title is on the line. Get your head in the game. Maybe this is the catalyst for a tougher, meaner Bianca (even as a babyface). But I see nothing wrong with how Becky came back - given the circumstances it makes sense to me.

Ah, OK. I will fix it up later. Glad they're useful.

Great job Fleisch. I probably would have obsessed about what font Madness was in to try to match before realizing the biggest part was done.

Unless Bray says and WWF confirms we will never know the real reason. One rumor was that he was out for a while, wasn't ready for Mania, asked for more time, and then made a fuss about his next program. But I guess the main question would be...what difference does it make? (Not trying to be combative, just that it doesn't change anything. What if the reason reflects poorly on Bray and they are deciding to go with the generic "budget cuts"?)

Admittedly I don't watch much of the weekly programming, but hopefully we get a tougher Bianca going forward. She's the "EST" but all I ever saw were clips of her being all "aww shucks so glad to be champ." Even the reaction to Lynch coming back was too "just glad to be here" when it should have been "if not Sasha tonight, you're a worthy opponent to beat." Forget the champ part, just on the "EST" part I am expecting a tougher character from her. Goldberg apparently has one more match, so unless he signs for one more he isn't beating Lashley to then drop it to Cena or someone else. Turning off social media before/during the show does wonders for the enjoyment on my part. I don't need great in ring work if the character/stories are entertaining. Drew hasn't done much for me in a while. Don't care so much about his story outside of WWE to care about the comeback/title win. Even with the botched execution of his run I find Mahalo to be more entertaining. On the Lesnar front, happy he's back. I wonder if they are going to have a match down the line where Heyman turns on Reigns to align with Lesnar again - Reigns doesn't need a mouthpiece. Whatever way they go, I'll just enjoy the ride. As for the Evolution PPV mentioned earlier, if it never comes back it would be too soon. There is not enough appeal for it or it would have been done again.
