    Thought of a few more!

    Feminist - This worker has twice the recommended daily servings of 'respect women juice'. They will be a lot less likely to sign with a company that has a small or non-existent women's division, and a lot more likely to sign with a company that has a large division, integrated women's wrestling, or entirely-female promotions. Also, if they develop a new relationship with a female worker, it's more likely to be a positive one.

    Mysogynist - This worker doesn't think women belong in wrestling. They will be a lot less likely to sign with a company that has a large women's division, integrated women's wrestling, or entirely-female promotions, and a lot more likely if they've got a small or non-existent women's division. Also, if they develop a new relationship with a female worker, it's more likely to be a negative one.

    Hot New Theme Song - The worker recently got a new theme that the fans love, even to the point of singing along. Gives a boost to any segment wherein they make an entrance. [This attribute is automatically temporary and lasts between 6 months and 2 years.]

    (For situations like Judas or Cult of Personality.)

    Road Warrior - This worker refuses to sign exclusive contracts, and gets a morale boost when working for multiple companies at once. 

    Signature Weapon - This worker gets a boost to hardcore matches because when they wield a certain weapon it makes the fans pop.

    (For situations like Sandman's Singapore cane and Triple H's sledgehammer.)

    Time Heals All Wounds - This worker's negative relationships will disappear after enough time has passed. The amount of time needed is based on how strong the negative relationship is; for example, a "hatred" relationship would take longer to heal than "simmering tension".

    For The Love Of Mankind - This worker is more accustomed than most to taking crazy bumps, and so is a lot less likely to get injured by taking them.

    Half The Brain That You Do - This worker is adept at turning a bad promo into accidental comedic gold. If a promo score of theirs is too low, there's a chance it will get a much higher rating because the fans found it so amusing.

    (For things like Steiner Math and the titular Sid promo.)

    Fantastic suggestions

    Have always wondered where MOD makers find Contract information from? More lengths rather than amounts, any tips for this? Many Thanks

    I typically look to see when their first match is with a company and then their last and do an estimate essentially. If I can't find any info, I just leave it as random.

  3. In much older iterations of the game there was a creative team feature that was purely cosmetic. I've waxed poetic about it over the years because it helping with my immersion.

    Creative teams would be a team of 4-5 members. Using my current 92 save for example, I am playing as Eric Bischoff as CEO and head of creative, but I have a "team" of Dusty Rhodes, Paul Heyman, and Kevin Sullivan. My suggestion is this, the creative meeting section featuring next big things and such would be rolled into the creative team feature. Each member would have different hidden gems based on their booking preferences and they'd suggest tag teams and feuds also based on their booking and product focuses. Not a full on autobooker, but using mostly stats and settings already in the game, they'd really help with immersion. No global company is booked solely by one person. Workers' relationships would come into play on suggested signings. Like Dusty would suggest hiring someone like Ray Lloyd or DDP whereas Paul Heyman would go for someone a little outside the box like Bubba Ray Dudley.

    I'm very open minded in regards to other ideas being added.

    I agree with that. But being believable with Gunther goes a long way for me. It’s not like when you saw Adam Cole tear it up in NXT but then see him next to Lesnar - the optics say he would get destroyed. Gable looks solid, like he might be a believable threat regardless of size. But again, if IC is his ceiling, so it was for Hennig. Not the worst of titles to have.

    Hennig was a world champion in AWA. Granted it wasn't during their heyday, but he was so good he could slot into any spot on a card honestly. Hennig could have easily been a believable world champion in any promotion.

    They record it and then get the commentators in the studio to do other bits. It happens (happened?) on Rampage too where Excalibur would say something that was obviously recorded after the fact and put into the show. They probably did the same with Collision.

    That's what I was thinking went on. It just didn't feel natural at all. Like Tony and Nigel are two of my favorite personalities in wrestling and I just didn't enjoy them as much as I usually do. 

    I still think we are going to get Nigel vs Bryan before Bryan hangs it up though. 

    I miss Nigel in the ring.

    Unforgiven 08 was the first DVD I bought as a fan (and something about it would softlock me before the WHC Scramble) so that PPV has a special place in my heart much like Mania 27 (first PPV I watched live). Happy for you that you're getting a big show again, unfortunately after Jericho kicked our flag they have never been here since and that's just for HOUSE SHOWS. The dream of a Backlash: Brazil is quite dead.

    When Legacy attacked Punk backstage at Unforgiven, I was so salty. But Jericho winning the WHC after his hellacious match with HBK was awesome. The crowd was insane for Jericho's win after booing him relentlessly during his first match 😂

    Okay so I was casually talking to someone on Twitter about Chad Gable and was told that he could be on Kurt Angle's level if WWE didn't do him dirty. I was also told that the only difference between the two is that "Kurt just a better comedy character."

    I know many are still upset about Zayn winning over him, and I know that recency bias is mad, but am I the only one who thinks Kurt Angle is on a whole other level? And that's not a knock on Gable in any way, it's just that Kurt is one of the greatest ever.

    Seems blasphemy to me tbh, what do you think? ;) 

    If given the attention Kurt received, I think Gable could have been close to his level. Maybe not on par with Kurt, but Gable is amazing at taking crappy gimmicks and making them somehow work. In ring, Gable is one of the best going. Any other company and he'd be near the top of the card imo

    If Scott D'Amore was still in charge of TNA, I'd say they'd be a perfect place for him.

    My suggestion would be if there was a new TEW version

    A new version that includes an official cornellverse 1977,  1997, 2005, 2010, 2016, 2020 rosters including the new version. You can start on eras. 

    As a result of that, agers for each wrestler during their. 20, 30, 40, and post retirement. 

    There's not a snowball's chance in hell this is happening 😂

    I just chalked it up to the fact that they're acclimating to just the two of them in the booth. Nigel does seem to play off Kevin Kelly better, but if what I've heard about him is true, good riddance. AEW isn't hurting for competent play-by-play guys- Excalibur, Tony, Ian, Coleman, etc.

    Ideally, I'd move Ian to Collision with Nigel and Tony and hire Joe Dombrowski from MLW for ROH. That's just my Joe fanboy in me wanting him in a major promotion. One of the best promoters in Ohio history imo

    If Ian doesn't want to move to Collision full time, bring in Joe for Collision 😄

  10. Random observation while watching Collision, but I see Nigel and Tony at ringside, but their commentary seemed off. Like it was done after the show was done and they were aware of things happening ahead of time. Their commentary just doesn't seem "live" and I know the show was taped Thursday, so I wonder if something was wrong with their original commentary or am I just paying way too much attention?

  11. Anyway, silly argument aside, watching Dynamite and Collision finally, and I really like the EVP's theme. Gives me big Bloodline vibes and I mean that in a positive way. Screams main event talent. Their characters are finally clicking for me. Their mic work is far more believable when they're acting like arrogant dunces. Still hate Rick Knox though. Dude shouldn't be allowed on television.

    I’m old enough to not bully people 😉

    But apparently not old enough to understand how entitled you sound. No one is bullying you. You came in here insulting other people's work and saying it wasn't good enough and you wanted better. If you want better, learn to do it and contribute to the community or just accept what work has been done. 

    Word of advice, if you would like something made, don't insult someone else's hard work. No one wants to go through the effort of making graphics for someone who is ungrateful. 

    AI titles are giant pain in the ass.

    If a singer is out of tune, can I say so? Or can I just say that I don't like her?

    I have nothing against Eddie Kingston, I would just be happy if he was actually good in ring so I would have another good pro wrestler with good promo skills to enjoy.

     

    Not really a good comparison. Someone singing out of tune isn't subjective, pro wrestling is. Kingston is celebrated by countless people for his King's Road and Strong Style influenced in ring abilities. It's perfectly fine to dislike him or his style, but saying he's bad is just your opinion. Will Ospreay for example, I think he's incredibly overrated, but I know that's just my opinion and his no selling lack of psychology stuff just doesn't appeal to me, but I'm not going to say he sucks or that he's not good. I do like Will, just wish he'd let spots breathe before immediately doing something else. Sorry for the Ospreay tangent lol

    Wrestling is incredibly subjective and not everyone likes the same stuff and that's okay. 

    At the end of the day, we're all looking for the same thing, to be entertained and Eddie has entertained me for almost 20 years now.

    I'm about to switch myself, the first non alien fight in the refectory has been IMPOSSIBLE for me to get through lmao

    The farthest I made it prior to this character was washing ashore and getting murdered instantly lol

  15. So, I have been having the hardest time getting into Baldur's Gate 3 despite me loving everything I encounter. It's just the "normal" difficulty is pretty damn hard 😂

    Lowered it down to the lowest for this play through and I'm finally gelling. Just met Astarion and I can tell I'm going to love him. Shadowheart is giving me potential mystery vibes, so I'm intrigued by her too. Just got to Emerald Grove and the only reason I had to stop was because my controller died.

    Nope, i don't like outlaw mudshow matches. I don't have a bias about hardcore matches, it depends on whether they follow some damn logic or not and whether they are credible.

     

    Not sure who made this comparison Kingston-Bucks, not a fan of any of them tbh.

    Besides that, if you re-read my comment you will understand that when I talked about Eddie Kingston I didn't compare him to "death match clowns" but I said it seems absurd to me to see Danielson losing clean to him when he freakin' sucks in the ring. And I will add the fact that he also has zero star quality (or AURA as is so fashionable to say now) and he's absolutely not a draw. I was wondering what is the point of having a major star like Danielson lose to him.

     

    We probably saw two different matches man what can I say, we probably saw two different matches man what can I say, Kingston's chops, knee strikes, kicks are so lame and terrible. But the point of my speech wasn't even that lol, it's not that hard to understand. Why you should have your biggest draw probably losing clean to Eddie Kingston? What's the point from a business point of view?

     

    Who talked about last 6 months? 😂 😂 😂 I specifically wrote how I didn't understand the benefit of putting a LEGEND like Danielson with BCC for months instead of capitalizing on him being the biggest name in the company probably, a major name and one of the best wrestlers in the world. And how I didn't understand the benefit of having Danielson lose clean against Kingston, who among other things seems to me objectively poor when it comes to in-ring skills.

     

    Yes on that I might remember wrong, maybe they had fewer matches together than I remember. But still, like I wrote up here, I never understood the benefit of flanking Danielson with that group instead of capitalizing on him and really growing this promotion. Regarding Danielson-Moxley matches, to me it sounds not that awesome lol but I guess everyone has their own taste

    Eddie doesn't suck, you just don't like him. Massive difference
