  1. <p>While playing a DIASPORA game I was getting ready to let Meiyoshin's contract expire since he didn't want to re-sign a developmental deal and he isn't anything special talent wise. However, I noticed that he has great tag team chemistry with Kuzuryu, who is probably the best young prospect in the entire database, and his bio mentions rumors that DIASPORA were planning on giving him a new gimmick for the main roster.</p><p> </p><p>

    I decided to take a crack at creating a new character for him that would tie in to Kuzuryu's dragon gimmick. Unless he pulls off some kind of miracle he's going to be the Jannetty of the team, but that's better than nothing I suppose.</p><p> </p><p>

    Meet <strong>Vasuki</strong>, named after a King of Serpents in Hindu and Buddhist Mythology. I assembled the mask using parts from PsychoTIC, Alebrije, RYU Takarabe, and Rey Roja, but hopefully it looks distinct enough to not just look like an alt for any of those wrestlers. I messed around with including wings and a crown, but for my own game I'm sticking with the base version.</p><p> </p><p>

    While it was intended for Meiyoshin, I think it should work just fine as a free render.</p>

  2. <p>I don't know if you're planning to create a 1.05 for this data at any point, but if you do I have a few small things that could use adjusting that I noticed while playing a DIASPORA game.</p><p> </p><p>

    1. Zodiac & Sairento start off as the Junior Tag Team Champions, but aren't set up as a tag team in the data.</p><p> </p><p>

    2. In the data Ukon Kajahara is set up to have a HONOUR specific tag team with Nobusuke Takabe, which is odd because Takabe is a LETHAL lifer who has never been in a promotion with him. I'm fairly certain this is a case of the wrong Nobu being selected, and he's meant to be in a tag team with fellow HONOUR member Nobuhisa Yasutake.</p><p> </p><p>

    3. New Solution and HUSTLE Umiro have no US popularity despite them all having extended runs in DRAGON and being multi-time champions. This normally wouldn't be a big deal since they're working full time in Japan now, but with the alliance between DRAGON and DIASPORA they become much less useful as part of trade deals if they don't have name value in the US.</p><p> </p><p>

    4. Rick Thunder is on the roster. There is clearly some kind of mistake. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Who were the signings you made?</p><p> 2. Have you used the trades with DRAGON?</p><p> 3. Have you made any shakeups in the stables?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> 1. Let me do the main roster signings by stable</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#8B0000;">Crimson Denizens</span></strong> - With only 3 starting members, they were one of my early targets for expansion.</p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Butcher Hachirobei</strong> - He's a surprisingly good worker considering he's known as a deathmatch guy, and as LETHAL's biggest star he's over enough to immediately be a championship contender which is very important given how desperate for talent DIASPORA is at Heavyweight.<br /></li><li><strong>Crimson Matsuka</strong> - Aside from his somewhat worrying safety rating Matsuka's a pretty good worker and a perfect fit for the Crimson Denizens. At 37 he's a bit old, but I think he'll be a solid midcard/tag team player for a few years at least.<br /></li><li> <strong>Dark Wolf II</strong> - Solid Junior worker with an appropriate gimmick. Right now he's the stable's lowest rung member, but I'm planning to pair him up with Blood Spider Jr in a tag team once I feel ready to push Death Smile into singles title contention.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#4B0082;">PULSE</span></strong> - They're stacked with talented Juniors, but could use some Heavyweight help. I'm considering bringing in <strong>ICHIBEI</strong> to join them down the road after he takes part in a Young Lions Cup.</p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Junji Goto</strong> - I signed him on a touring contract, but I'm unsure if that will allow me to resign him since he's a freelancer. I'm pairing him up with Bunrakuken Togo since both guys were Olympic athletes, and because I wanted to shift RIKU out of the tag team ranks.</li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#4169E1;">Silver Kings</span></strong> - With three of their five members in steep time decline (thankfully Zodiac and Sairento were spared) the Silver Kings could use some help, but finding wrestlers not in decline who fit the concept of a accomplished veteran unit is a bit of a challenge.</p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Graham Mackenzie</strong> - as a 39 year old UK Legend who spent ten years in Japan I felt he could fit the stable's identity pretty well. Him being up their with Scott Hart as far as best technical wrestler in the world doesn't hurt either. Sorry MHero.<br /></li><li><strong>Richie Santana Jr </strong>- He may not have created a legacy for himself just yet, but as the son of an all time great I felt he would be a good fit as someone the unit has taken under it's wing.<br /></li><li> <strong>Okitsugu Hiroyuki</strong> - isn't actually a new signing, but rather my first developmental call up who like Santana has a strong family legacy. They have been teaming together for a few weeks now, though he's caused a few backstage incidents and hasn't been delivering at the level of his partner. If he fails to progress I may have to re-evaluate whether he's worth a spot on the roster.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Elite Destiny/World Elite</strong></span> <span style="font-size:8px;">(Not the one lead by Eric Young)</span> - With 3 Juniors and 3 Heavyweights, and no one in time decline, Elite Destiny starts off with the most balanced roster. The only area they felt lacking in was a full time Junior Tag Team. Nori is a singles star, and I just don't feel Corvis Jones & Soh Terajima as a team; tbh I don't feel Terajima as anything other than the guy who eats pins in a tag team.</p><p> </p><p> In the end I ended up signing a number of Gaijin talent to the stable, and decided to brand them as World Elite; a sub-faction within Elite Destiny lead by Corvis Jones.</p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Derek Grace</strong> - Despite having no popularity in Japan I'm a fan of him and figured that he would be able to get over pretty quickly with some good performances. Unfortunately a team with Jones was scuttled due to chemistry issues and I had to rethink things.<br /></li><li><strong>Fergus Storm</strong> - With a Jones/Grace tag team ruled out I decided to poach Fergus Storm from HONOUR and have him team with Grace instead. His history with Graham Mackenzie could be interesting down the line, but unless I move him to middleweight they probably won't be interacting much.<br /></li><li><strong>Sean Girven </strong>- Skilled youngsters are in short supply in DIASPORA's Heavyweight Division, so Girven seemed like a good choice to add some depth to the division; helps that he has enough popularity to immediately slot in as a midcarder. I did change his picture to one of the free pictures as there's something about his look I wasn't a fan of. He also has a couple of buddies I may bring in down the road.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#708090;">Unaffiliated</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Junichi Matsuo</strong> - He seems like a perfect fit for PULSE, but if I had him join up then 5 of my top 8 Junior Wrestlers would all be in one unit. For now he's stable-less trying to prove he's more than just all flash with singles matches against top juniors; most recently a show-stealing performance against BURNING Toyotomi.<br /></li><li><strong>Nobuhisa Yasutake & Ukon Kajahara</strong> - I poached these two from HONOUR to further expand my heavyweight division. I didn't feel like they fit any of the existing units, but I have plans for them down the road. Currently they're undefeated as a team and I plan to have them beat SHIMIKuma for the Heavyweight Tag Team titles at the Wrestle Festival.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> 2. Not yet, but I plan to. For the tournaments I have planned I'd love to bring in some DRAGON talent. Ryotaro Naruto can slot immediately into a Top level junior program, and they have a ton of other talent whom would be fun to book. For example I might bring in Trent Brooker and/or Alexander Ridgeway for my upcoming Young Lions cup.</p><p> </p><p> Some sort of Cross-Promotional show might be fun, though I'd have to figure out a way to book it that doesn't make DRAGON's guys look weak even though most of them aren't well known in Japan.</p><p> </p><p> I've considered an Alliance Title, but I'm not sure what I'd even call it; DIASPORA International Title? Zodiac Dragon Global? I'd take any suggestions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> 3. So far I haven't kicked anyone out of a stable, but I do have some shakeups in mind.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">1. I might have Nori clean house in Elite Destiny after he has a melt-down post title loss. Have him put everyone except for him and Eikichi Minamoto in a sort of Dragon Gate DOA style elimination match where it'll eventually come down to just 2 remaining wrestlers and the loser is kicked out. Soh Terajima would be the one to go, but I can plant some seeds here for a future stable split with the World Elite guys clearly working together against their Japanese stable-mates. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Soh Terajima's future is being part of the unofficial job-squad alongside Kan Mitsubishi and the Forgotten, but maybe I'll have him go crawling back to the Crimson Denizens, his former stable, to be their whipping boy. Hopefully it's just figuratively, but with some of the psychos they've brought in who knows.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 2. I'm planning to have Junichi Matsuo and ICHIBEI join PULSE, but in turn New Solution (Shintaro Hideki & Kotei Yamato) leave out of frustration with too many people in the unit not taking things seriously and goofing around in matches. They'd then form a brand new unit alongside the until now unit-less Nobuhisa Yasutake & Ukon Kajahara. The new group would be a no-frills, no-gimmicks or colorful outfits affair; though I have yet to pick out a name for the group. This would be my chance to pull the trigger on New Solution as single stars; Hideki in particular has impressed me with his performances. It would also help create more interesting match-ups since I wouldn't have so many of my best Juniors in the same unit.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 3. I hate Rick Thunder with the fiery passion of 1,000 suns, so I'm planning on breaking up his tag team and have OMURA either embrace his deathmatch roots by joining Crimson Denizens or revert to using his full name and show off his excellent technical skills in the new stable lead by New Solution; probably the latter since I'm considering calling KOKI up from Developmental to join Crimson Denizens and that would put them at four heavyweights already.</div><p></p>
  4. <p>Hello folks, been quite a while since I posted on the forums. Hadn't had any interest in TEW or wrestling in general for quite a while, but recently stumbled across a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Showbuckle/videos" rel="external nofollow">youtube channel by a guy named Showbuckle</a> which got me interested in checking out some of the recent NJPW shows. This in turn inspired me to get back into TEW, and since the Thunderverse has always been a favorite of mine I decided to start up a new game as DIASPORA.</p><p> </p><p> I'm about a month and a half into my game and enjoying it so far. I've made quite a few signings, most of them being Heavyweights since that division is in an absolute dire state at the start of the game.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MHero" data-cite="MHero" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41411" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>DIASPORA = Dragon Gate if Dragon Gate also had heavyweights outside of Shingo and our lord and saviour Takashi Yoshida</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I would personally view them as kind of a hybrid of NJPW and Dragon Gate; though the New Japan influence is primarily in the structure of having separate Heavyweight and Junior Divisions. That's at least how I've tried to book it to a degree.</p><p> </p><p> I'm planning to add a few more tournaments/titles, though I'm not entirely sure about these ideas.</p><p> </p><ul><li>I'm planning having a Young Lion Cup with guys from my Developmental wrestling for main roster spots. This is the only idea I'm real set on with Kuzuryu being the obvious choice for a winning Junior, and maybe Gao Xi as the Heavyweight.<br /></li><li>I want to have a big tournament, but I'm not sure if I'd have it be a normal tournament, blocks ala the G1, or a World Cup Style with Blocks and then a tournament.<br /></li><li>An open-weight trios title might be fun, and a way to give a chance for Heavyweight and Juniors to wrestle each other in a match for a title.<br /></li><li>Maybe some kind of tag team tournament? I was thinking about having a mixed tag (Heavyweight and Junior) tournament, but I'm not entirely sure how you'd get it to feel important; maybe the winners get contracts to challenge for the Junior/Heavyweight Titles at one of their three big events of the year?<br /></li><li>Some wackier Dragon Gate style stuff? I don't actually watch Dragon Gate regularly so I might need to do some research or get some suggestions for this one.</li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> But overall my game is going pretty well. I just ran my second PPV, Road to the Wrestling Festival which is a new one I made for Week 2 February; with most of the matches as set-ups for the bigger show at the end of the month.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="RmpuR0D.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RmpuR0D.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li>BURNING Toyotomi vs Junichi Matsuo was mostly thrown together to give Toyotomi a win before he challenges Nori for the title at the end of the month, but they had great Chemistry as opponents. I was planning on having Matsuo join PULSE since it's the only unit he really fits, but now I'm thinking of delaying that and getting 1 or 2 more big singles matches out of them. It's his first singles loss in DIASPORA, so I might run a storyline where he's desperate to avenge his loss and keeps trying crazy new moves and counters. He won't actually win of course since BURNING Toyotomi is the 2nd most over guy on my roster, but he'll impress him enough for Toyotomi to praise him after the match and get offered a spot on his stable.<br /></li><li>Crimson Terror are the next challengers for Sairento & Zodiac's tag titles, so they get a win over some of the lower card junior teams.<br /></li><li>Strong Style Soldiers is the team of Nobohisa Yasutaka and Ukon Kajahara whom I signed away from HONOUR. They're undefeated as a unit, but seem to have no interest in joining forces with anyone else and are conspicuously stable-less heading into their title match against SHIMIKuma at the end of the month. Aces & Kings aren't long for my roster since I have a couple of ideas for OMURA; both of which involve me jettisoning Rick Thunder into a black hole. The first idea is Butcher Hachirobei and Crimson Matsuka recruiting him into Crimson Denizens on the basis of their shared history of bloody hardcore violence. The second idea would be for him to join a new stable I have planned (more on that later.)<br /></li><li>Eikichi Minamoto is challenging Christian Prophet at the end of the month, but first he had to survive an encounter with the monstrous Butcher Hachirobei who joined Crimson Denizens in January and already carved a path of destruction. While the feud is technically heel vs heel, Minamoto was the clear babyface here as the Butcher destroyed his injured knee and beat the holy hell out of him; Minamoto only managing to escape with a win after Crimson Matsuka's interference backfired and he ended up blinding Bucher Hachirobei with a fireball. The 80 rated match is quite remarkable considering the two have negative chemistry together.<br /></li><li>Throwaway stable multi-man match.<br /></li><li>Silver Kings once again victorious over PULSE, defeating New Solution last month and the team of HUSTLE Umiro & Zeshin Kusatsu this time. Sairento & Zodiac are two of my "elite four" Juniors (along with Hiroto Nori & BURNING Toyotomi), so them holding the tag titles is an interesting predicament. Thankfully there's so much junior talent that I can get away with keeping them out of the singles picture for a while, but I'm not sure how I'm going to get the titles off them. Beating Sairento probably wouldn't be a smart business decision since he is by far the most over worker in the company, but if I have them drop the titles without losing it would negate all the effort they've put into making the titles feel important.<br /></li><li>SHIMIKuma defeat the fairly new pairing of Richie Santana Jr and Okitsugu Hiroyuki, the two second generation workers being aligned with the Silver King stable on the basis of their heritage.<br /></li><li>The Semi-Main saw Christian Prophet retain his title by defeating RIKU, and if I remember correctly I think the match was hit with a penalty for poor announcing. Unfortunate as their simply aren't any top level announcers who can work in Japan *CoughYouCanChangeThisMHeroCough*, so this is one of those penalties I'm just going to have to live with.</li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="st3DCv6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/st3DCv6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Shintaro Hideki had consistently been delivering high performance scores in his tag matches so I decided to test the singles waters by giving him a title shot in this lesser event, and build to the title match between Nori and his unit leader at the end of the month. The match itself was slightly disappointing in it's match rating due to a lack of psychology, but in terms of individual performance he absolutely killed it. Even setting aside chemistry the fact that he outperformed Nori, one of the best juniors in the world, is pretty astounding; especially when you factor in that he has 66 overness to Nori's 78.</p><p> </p><p> You'd think main-eventing a show with a performance like that, even in a losing effort, would gain him popularity, but alas TEW says otherwise. Still, I'm planning on pulling the trigger on him soon; possibly by having New Solution be the ones to beat Sairento & Zodiac for the tag titles. Ideally I'd want them to get up to the 70s in popularity first, but I seem to have some real trouble getting guys to actually gain popularity passed a certain level no matter how good their matches are. </p><p> </p><p> I'm also planning on having them split off from pulse eventually since between them, BURNING Toyotomi, HUSTLE Umiro, and eventually Junichi Matsuo they have more than their share of Juniors in Title Contention level. I'm thinking that perhaps after BURNING Toyotomi wins the title off Nori they'll end up contending with him for the title, and create friction in the unit. I'm thinking that New Solution will form a new unit he HONOUR Guys (Nobohisa Yasutaka & Ukon Kajahara) based around a sort of no frills, no gimmicks required attitude; a bit antithetical to PULSE, but not an outright heel stable since we have 2 of those already.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Sorry to make such a long post about my game, but I'm having a blast with this save and felt like sharing. If anyone got through this and inexplicably wants to know more about my game I'm happy to share more. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
  5. <p>Hey London, good to see you're still around and working on this. I'm sorry I dropped the ball on some of the Londonverse stuff we'd talked about way back in the day. I've had real life stuff going on and I just sort of lost interest in TEW and Wrestling in general. I'm glad to see you're still working on this and I hope things are going well for you in general.</p><p> </p><p>

    Not sure I should be submitting an entry given I was your co-author for a while, but it's been a long time since then and I got the itch to submit a character of my own.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>Name: </strong>Ando Saez (Real Name: Fernando Saez)</p><p>

    <strong>Age:</strong> 26</p><p>

    <strong>Bio:</strong></p><p>

    Fernando "Ando" Saez is a young high flyer from Burgos, Spain who has become known for his daredevil antics and willingness to take crazy bumps with little regard for his own safety.

Naturally charismatic and good looking, Saez has potential to be a major name on the European wrestling circuit if he can stay healthy and refine his style.</p><p> </p><p>

    Saez's persona is heavily inspired by the Spanish Raw Punk movement; going so far as to name his finisher, a Corkscrew Moonsault, the R.I.P Sin Dios as a tribute to two of his favorite bands. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    <strong>Finisher:</strong> R.I.P Sin Dios (Corkscrew Moonsault)</p><p>

    <strong>Wrestling Style:</strong> Cruiserweight</p><p>

    <strong>Personality: </strong>A bit Egotistical and Selfish, Somewhat Social, Very Bold, Driven, Extremely Liberal.</p><p>

They're still 40-odd points behind the AWF in terms of overness in all but two regions, yes because the way the game works you can sign big stars but they've still got a long way to go to be at that level.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I was comparing where they were in Platinum, where HGC had 30 popularity in 2 regions and 0 across the rest of the country. Sure CWT and PWSUX also have issues, not denying that, but HGC was nowhere near the level to get National TV or PPV.</p><p> </p><p> I don't have a problem with HGC rising to cult conceptually, but the speed of it's growth is crazy. HGC were founded in February 2012, and in their first 2 1/2 years of existence they had managed to get up to just barely regional, but in the 17 months between platinum and Diamond they shot up from 30 to 60 popularity in those 2 regions and from 0 to 38 popularity in the rest of the country. That kind of growth would be incredible even if they had TV and PPV to begin with; which they didn't.</p><p> </p><p> Then again I'm probably (okay, definitely) overthinking things since it doesn't necessarily have to make sense. Each new edition of the data retcons some stuff, such as introducing new veteran workers who didn't exist in the last one, so there's no reason that a companies popularity/finances can't also be retconned; in the Diamond timeline HGC may have been well financed and on the verge of hitting cult from the get-go.</p>
  8. Being on honest, I wonder if HGC is a bit too similar to AWF, or maybe rather I should say I find them a bit similar. They're both glitz and glam promotions, both have bases in the South West, both are charisma and character driven promotions who are light touches when it comes to in the ring.

     

    I mean, playability wise, HGC are very pick up and play. You've got TV, you've got PPV, you've got some bank, you can bring in who you like: If you want to go hunting the "Big 4" with them, you can. I say Big 4...HGC basically just replaced CWT in the Big 4.

     

    I don't know, what do other people think?

     

    I agree with you in that I think HGC rise feels a bit out of nowhere. In Platinum they were hardly on the verge of great things, they were barely regional with Johnny Axe of all people in the main event. If HGC had huge financial backing I could sort of understand it, but they only had 250K in plat so it's hard to see how they had all this money for signing a ton of big names and dealing with the expenses of rising to cult. Realistically if I were to predict a 4th cult company in the US I would have guessed either CWT bouncing back, PWSUX rising based on the exposure from their AWF invasion, or a brand new company altogether.

     

    I see HCG more as a WCW 96 or early days TNA especially with a cruiser weight division which is something neither of the big two have.

     

    To me HGC feels a lot like TNA in the mid-to-late 00s when virtually all their stars were castoffs from other companies and their homegrown talent were secondary players. Of their six guys who auto-push as main event four of them weren't in HGC in plat, and only Riley Johansson can really be considered a star they made.

     

    Now that I think about it Saul Keaton buying a stake in HGC, rather than CWT, would solve a lot of my complaints. Them getting a huge cash injection would explain how they were able to throw all this money around, sign big stars, create a dojo, and get TV and PPV deals.

  9. <p>Decided to try to do my requests myself.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    Here's the alt BCW Logo:</p><p> </p><p>

    I replaced the confederate flag logo with a Kentucky State Flag.</p>

  10. Wasn't Kentucky neutral?

    Yep. Kentucky actually didn't choose a side, deciding instead to remain neutral.

     

    It was, but it's a little more complicated then that. It started off as neutral, but the Confederacy would break that neutrality by invading and occupying Columbus, Kentucky in September, 1861. In response the legislature petitioned the Union for assistance, and ordered the flag of the United States be flown over the capital signalling it's allegiance to the Union. It would remain solidly Union controlled for the remainder of the war; though a good portion of the populace supported the confederacy and it was host to it's share of internal conflict and guerrilla warfare.

     

    I did misstate things a bit, but it doesn't invalidate my main point; they never joined the Confederacy. Not to mention that in the the last few decades there's been a pretty big backlash against the use of the Confederate flag imagery even in states that were a part of it.

     

    Back when it was a future promotion BCW was based much further south in Louisiana, when it came for the promotion to be used we realised that would put them in direct regional competition with CWT (and saw them not really cope in testing if I recall correctly) so they were moved...

     

    With the way regional battles work I'm guessing they're going to get smashed no matter where they are since it's not about where you're based, all you need is 12 popularity in a region to be part of a regional battle. I generally disable company battles as it tends to kill the indy scene in the long term.

  11. <p>Would anyone be willing to do an alt of the Bluegrass Championship Wrestling logo without the Confederate flags?</p><p> </p><p>

    Even if you ignore the argument about what that flag represents, it doesn't make sense for a company based in Kentucky to be sporting confederate flag decals when they fought on the Union Side in the civil war.</p>

Stats are always subjective so I won't get into that, but BxB Hulk and YAMATO should be higher on the card; the latter especially since he's auto-pushing as a lower midcarder while being the current (and 4 Time) Dream Gate Champion (which is their top singles title).</p><p> </p><p> CIMA was the ace of Dragon Gate in it's early years, but in recent years has transitioned into a less prominent role with his successors being the "Big 6" of YAMATO, Shingo Takagi, BxB Hulk, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino, and Akira Tozawa. All have been focal points of the promotion, and aside from Tozawa they have all held the Dream Gate title. These 6 + CIMA should really be the most popular guys in the promotion; Though I suppose Tozawa will be out of DG and in the WWE come next update.</p>

    Having fun in a DIASPORA game and pretty ecstatic with how my January PPV turned out; grade wise at least. Unfortunately it's not actually a PPV since I mistakenly didn't assign a broadcaster, and once you exit the broadcast screen you can't go back. Whoops.</p><p> </p><p>

    Sadly Zodiac turned 40 in February and entered the time decline list, but a 93 rated main event match is probably as good a way to begin the downswing of your career as any; though even in decline he should be a solid main event talent for another year or two.</p><p> </p><p>

    I've brought in a good amount of talent to both the main roster and developmental, but I wanted the main card of the PPV to be just the stars so only two made the main card. Kris Phoenix was brought in to be the 2nd in command for Christian Prophet's Crimson Denizen's faction, and Junichi Matsuo joined PULSE after forming a great-chemistry team with HUSTLE Umiro (named BreakOut) who have been having a friendly rivalry with New Solution; their stable-mates. New Solution and BreakOut are my two best Junior teams, aside from current champions Sairento & Zodiac, so their rivalry is unlikely to stay friendly in the long term; especially if one of the teams wins the titles.</p>

  14. I actually should've just asked for something Celtic in general, it's just a visual gag for him being at an event called 'Shamrock Showdown', maybe a Celtic Cross around his neck or something?

     

    That hat is great though and I'll totally use that later

     

    "Ha, Watts I had my buddy Marcus Studd over last night and we partied like nobody's business! Haha...he's not getting this hat back."

     

     

    Will this do?

    Also have a request of my own to make.

     

    Would anyone be willing and able to take Misha Bourassu and make an alt of him with no hat? I'm not really concerned over what hair style he has, just feel like the baseball cap look doesn't fit for what I'm thinking of using him for. Here's his picture for reference:

  15. You can add Xtinction to the list of workers who were made obsolete. There's a future worker named eXtinction who's bio mentions him as being out of the business (or dead if you want to take the "becoming a ghost thing literally.) Just thought of him as I was playing around with Diaspora and going over their unit and title history.

     

    In late 2014, the wrestling world breathed a sigh of relief as Xtinction vanished, cutting off all contact with promotions and becoming a ghost. Since then, there have been many who have taken up the mask and persona in an attempt to get a leg up in their career but none of them ever came close to replicating Xtinction.

     

    That was until eXtinction appeared. Eerily similar to Xtinction, there have been some who have questioned if eXtinction is actually Xtinction attempting to get over the sins of his wrestling past. Most however believe the similarities to be nothing more than mere coincidences and that eXtinction is just another young worker jumping onto an infamous wrestling persona in order to get some quick notoriety.

  20. <p>Decided to start a game of DRAGON. DRAGON Michinoku and Ryotaru Naruto are in deep time decline, but that's more than made up for by the wealth of young talent on the roster. The NBT list tells the story in that regard:</p><p> </p><p>

    Jarid Hart apparently has the potential to be a Terry Thunder level superstar, but not if he can't solve his personal issues. In order to combat this I signed him to a 10 Year Written deal and gave him a comprehensive Drug Test, he came back positive for Soft Drugs so I sent him to rehab. Oddly enough he was pleased with this decision, so I'm hoping that means he's reformed his habits. Either way I'll be testing him again when he comes back from Rehab in 7 months, and he'll either get clean or be going in and out of rehab for the next decade.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

    My first TV show did pretty well with a pair of 73 rated matches in the top two spots. Not a bad a bad result considering I was being penalized for low risk matches because I forgot to adjust the settings.</p>

  21. <p>I created a few alts for a game I did during testing, so I figured I'd share them here:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
