  1. I realised AOW only had two events so that seemed like a better stopping off point for my break from the T-Verse so I started, but things have come up so the second event will have to wait. Here's what I've managed thus far though, including an updated title picture to match:
  2. I had a bit of time this morning and managed to get through AMAZON. It'll probably be a day or two before you see any more, but they're coming along quite nicely even if I do say so myself.
  3. I've managed to finish the few I had left, so here's a look at the AJJ events. I've included the "major" events (Finales and such like) and the regular nights/series' but each one has their own, numbered accordingly. Instead of posting them all, I've started added them to the most recent database that I found in the second post of this thread and I'll upload the whole set with them all properly attached to the data when I'm done to make it easier for the team. Thank you all for the kind words thus far.
  4. Fair enough. I worked off the style that @Idolized used once upon a time for NCW events and as I don't think anything I come up with would better them, I figured I'd probably just make them part of whatever I can ultimately come up with - but to keep them uniform from now on, I've edited them to match. Hope that's okay, Idol?
  5. I forgot, but I started putting together event logos for the Thunderverse a while back and it turns out I've still got them. Here's a complete set for AAW, having started alphabetically. I've also got a few AJJ events but I figure I'll see if I can finish them before posting. If it's something the team (or its fans) is interested in, I may be able to find some time to try and complete all events?
  6. Always updating! 😆It's a never-ending project as a modification maker. Unfortunately not. I imagine it's something Adam could potentially add to a future iteration of TEW (if that's ever going to be a thing at this point) as it's theoretically the same mechanics as the ones he uses for events. No, WWA is already part of the modification. I didn't know they interacted very much though, so thanks, I'll add their chemistry now. It's something I've ummed and arghed over for a long time - especially when I added Paul Boesch to the modification. I'm always open to adding more promotions, especially if it opens up other possibilities. I'll give it a look over next time I go in for a large update of Territory Daze, but I can't promise anything either way.
  7. Which promotion do you refer to as "BWF", sorry? XHTM aren't part of the modification as far as I'm aware, but I've just done a small bit of research on the station and think it could warrant inclusion in the future. As far as I'm aware, there was no lucha libre on television at this time. There was in the 1950s with television studios actually challenging EMLL itself because they could offer more money, but in 1956 the Department of the Federal District prohibited the broadcasts because some parents complained that their children imitated the "dangerous movements of the wrestlers" which actually lead to the huge surge in popularity in the 60s as everyone followed through the movies and magazines. As far as I'm aware, the sport didn't actually return to television until the 90s when CMLL joined Televisa. I'm always happy to change though if you (or anyone else) can prove otherwise? I know you said these aren't all notes for Territory Daze so I'm guessing this may well be the case, but just as we're on the subject, the Aniversario show is already part of the modification and the next number is 37, not 36, as far as I know. From my records, they were held on Wednesdays and both were held in April. I just realised I never made corresponding events though, so I've now added them for the next update so everything is linked correctly and set to be run at the correct venue (the Royal Albert Hall). Unfortunately, there is currently no way of holding joint shows (even within an alliance) unless you simulate it yourself by bringing in other Joint workers manually. I believe this happened shortly after the start date of the modification unless you can prove otherwise? In my records, the Los Angeles Times reported that "tonight" (August 12, 1970) was the "25th anniversary of the Wednesday wrestling shows on KTLA" so I presume they moved to KCOP in the early-70s, as I know they were popular there through the rest of the decade. I just realised I haven't added KCOP, so it'll be there for the next update. They do. Week 3 of June to Week 3 of September. Both are already the case. Again, I think this is something that changed slightly later than the start date of the modification. Everything I've added is correct as far as I'm aware. I've added a note to myself to include KBHK for future updates though. 1.) Red Bastien was still an AWA staple at the start of 1970, and Johnny Doyle died in 1969. 2.) Pepper Gomez was also part of the AWA mantle at this point. Kinji Shibuya is a better shout as although I can't find anything confirming he was signed at this point, he's currently a free agent and I know he was a regular so I don't think it'll hurt sticking him with PCAC. 3.) Bearcat Wright was more of a regular in Los Angeles until Gene LeBell ran him out for being a mercenary and as far as I'm aware, he was closer to Arizona at this point. 4.) The only Henry Orderman I know of died in the 1940s? 5.) I know Enrique Torres became a road agent after retiring, but I couldn't find anything to suggest he was with PCAC? The Great Mephisto was still encased in the South East in January, 1970 and didn't head west until the early-1970s. Ricky Romero was still a huge part of Amarillo booking. And, finally for this line, The Destroyer was definitely more associated with Los Angeles but at the starting point of this modification, he had moved away from the South West for the time being and began touring a wider circuit. 6.) Billy Red Lyons was all around at this point but at the date of the modification, he wasn't in San Francisco and was predominantly in AWA with the aforementioned Red Bastien. Blackjack Lanza was a fixture of the Mid West and, as far as I'm aware, only headed down to the South West in the mid-60s, which is already represented in his employment history. "Killer" Buddy Austin was still around the area at this time (predominantly in Los Angeles and Hawaii) but he certainly wasn't with PCAC at the start of the modification. And Angelo Poffo was with PCAC in the mid-1960s but had left by the end of the decade. 7.) Bobby Bruns retired in the early-60s and to the best of my knowledge, I don't believe he worked as a road agent or such like in the area? I presume you mean Steve Stanlee? If so, he was in the area in the mid-to-late-60s (particularly in Hawaii) but as far as I'm aware, he was retired by the end of the decade. Similarly, Ray "Thunder" Stern was retired in the mid-1960s. Wilbur Snyder wasn't in the area at this time and was largely entrenched in the Great Lakes area (and surrounding areas) after touring Japan in 1969. 8.) Is already the case. 9.) I believe Pete Peterson was gone by this point as he would have been incredibly old. 10.) I neglected to include it because they didn't host one in 1970 and 1971. I may add it in though as a 20 Man Battle Royal and an achievement. I could skew reality a little bit and make it active or just add it as inactive and allow users to bring it back; I'll have a think about that, and see which I think would be most entertaining. 11.) Is already the case. 12.) They began teaming in 1971 so I completely missed this. I'll add it for future updates. 13.) Ed Wiskoski didn't debut until 1972. Dean Ho was definitely in Canada at this point, and did venture down in PNW too. Black Gordman was in PCAC in the late-1960s (which is represented in his employment history) but was back South of the border by the start of the next decade. Alexis Smirnoff had literally just debuted and hadn't left his home area yet. 14.) Mando hadn't debuted yet. The Von Steigers had left the area by the late-60s, and they didn't stay anywhere for too long. I presume you mean the female Texas Red and not the future Undertaker? If so, unfortunately, I can't find enough information on her to include her in the modification, and I'm not sure she was in PCAC at that time either way. Jimmy Golden/Bunkhouse Buck was still working with his family in the South East as he had only just debuted. 15.) For both Vickie Williams and The Fabulous Moolah, I don't believe they brought in women's wrestling until later in the year Fran Gravette, Sandy Parker and Donna Christanello joining them too. Chavo Guerrero wasn't in the area yet. And Bob Roop had only just debuted so was still only seen in the South East, as far as I'm aware. 16.) Ed Moretti hadn't debuted yet. I'll add the Kaiser Center for future updates. I wouldn't class her as either. She never appeared on-screen regularly and I don't think you could put her under the bracket of Road Agent as that's not the role she fulfilled. That is already the case. The Fabulous Moolah was already assigned correctly, but I've added Desperado to Donna Christanello. I've added it to Nick Bockwinkel as that's a very good shout, but I'd argue Jerry Lawler did decline quite rapidly it just didn't stop him from wrestling. I don't believe Verne Gagne did announcing or fulfilled an on-screen role, did he? He also doesn't need Desperado as he already has Wrestling in the Blood enabled. I'd also put him in the same bracket I put Jerry Lawler in as he's someone who did decline, it just didn't stop him from competing. There's plenty of wrestlers from around that time who state he was well passed his best by the 1970s and basically relied on a headlock. Already the case. This is already the case. Moondog Spike has the "Bill Smithson" alter ego and Moondog Spot has the "Larry Booker" and "Larry Latham" alter egos. The Southwest Championship Wrestling promotion is not part of this modification. I believe this is reflected in both examples. Both their Business Reputation and their Booking Reputation are far lower than their respective Booking Skills. How so? Without aforementioned records, I'm more inclined to leave it as it is - a challenge for users should they so choose. It's something I've considered but I've already denoted a considerable amount of time and energy to the Hall of Immortals, and the workers title histories within. I think doing much more just inflates and slows down the modification for very little gain. I love this sort of thing as it makes me go back through the nitty-gritty of the modification so don't ever feel like you have to apologise. And I also love hearing from "old" men who may actually know more about this time than I do. I thank you for your comments and your time in putting together these notes, even if they weren't all meant for this modification. If you ever have more, I'll be happy to comb through them again.
  8. It's a skin so it'll work with any modification. It's also been released, and can be found here:
  9. 1, 2, 4 & 5 are in the first picture (labelled accordingly) and 3 is in the second picture. EDIT: I just realised snakesonaplane posted the first picture before, but that's definitely the best posed photo you're going to find of 1, 2, 4 & 5.
  10. May be your browser @Jaysin. All still appear correctly for me. I use Google Chrome, for reference.
  11. Why a Puerto Rican promotion has never been able to go national (or even global) is beyond me because their crowds are some of the best as they're always red-hot. Backlash wasn't even that great but that crowd elevated it exponentially. It was like a peak Attitude Era crowd.
  12. Used some more free renders of smw88 to bring these ugly dudes up to date. 😂 Decided not to go down the identical twin route and instead just find two of the ugliest renders I could and make them match as much as possible. I strangely liked the result so thought I'd share just in case anyone else wanted to update their looks. Can you imagine what their agers would look like if this is them at 20? 😛 The Buchanans (Bounce & Flip)
  13. A few more of I've done using free renders and/or other peoples re-renders recently: Asif Allam Arlo Costa Annie Hitchcock (render by LoNdOn - I added the snapper) Amo Del Gato American Machine (I don't know who did the original render but I added the face paint)
  14. I used some of the free renders from the amazing @King Bison and @smw88 to create these for a personal project, and thought I'd share: The Great Hisato & Akihiro Hisato Air Attack Weasel
  15. Looks extremely interesting, and looks like you're putting a lot of effort into the tiny details (like title defences, for example) which I love. I can only echo Idolized and wish you luck, and if you need to take anything from Shifting Sands then you're more than welcome. P.S - Great choice of skin. 😛
  16. I didn't have one but I quickly threw this together, so I hope it suits your needs.
  17. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I also added a host of Stable logos too. It's by no means comprehensive but it gives y'all plenty to choose from. As always, you're all free to request images and I'll do my best to oblige.

It's a relatively small update, hence why it's Version 3.10 rather than Version 4.0 but it's still very much worth your time. Here's what to expect from this update: Thanks to @benjirino and @Skummy, I've hopefully implemented a few changes to All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling and Empressa Mexican de Lucha Libre which ensures their long term playability and/or survival. I'd love to hear some feedback on this as I've only done a small amount of testing so if there are any other problems formed by the changes, I'd love to hear about them. Thanks to @justtxyank, I've managed to add a handful of Japanese staff members that'll debut in the future of this modification, and also editted the pictures of a few workers. And @Livertadores will be happy to know I've added Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada. 😛 So yeah, it's not a ground-breaking update but if you've found that AJW and/or EMLL struggle in your game saves, this will hopefully solve a lot of these problems. As always, if you'd like to buy me a bottle of Coke (I don't drink coffee) for my work, you'll find the information below. Please enjoy yourselves and experience an era of professional wrestling that many of you wouldn't have experienced before.
  19. I like Mark Spade, and love the idea. Maybe go with "Marcus Spade" though 'cause for some reason, that sounds better with Johnny Ace. The Ace of Spades is traditionally known as the "Death Card" which isn't a bad name for a tag team. But there's other nicknames in playing cards that could work like "Dead Man's Hand" which, if rumours are true, contained two black Aces. And a pair of Aces are often dubbed "Pocket Rockets" or "Snake Eyes", which could also work.
  20. I had been working on brand new modifications until this last week when I've begun working on a very small update for Territory Daze, which will hopefully be done in a few days. I have been contemplating putting the new modifications on hold though just because I think I'm in danger of being burned out if I put my finger in too many pies so working on a Shifting Sands update instead may be something I consider. So yeah, if people have any suggestions or recommendations, get them in now so if I do begin work on an update, I can potentially incorporate them. 👍
  21. I think the anger is less towards Cody losing and more towards Roman winning. The Bloodline storyline has been one of the best storylines in wrestling history and has certainly been at the forefront of WWE television, but this seemed like its natural conclusion as its next progression would obviously be the fallout of them all losing their respective titles - and the "power" of Roman Reigns being questioned by his "family". I suppose they could still go down that route with Roman Reigns questioning The Usos after he survived and they didn't, but I think the better story was to see Roman finally fall. It'll be interesting if they see Jey Uso as a potential star, and see him as the one to de-throne Roman. However, that feels like a 'Mania moment in and of itself and judging by the reaction of people on social media and such like, I don't think they want to see another year of this which is why they should have just pulled the trigger last night. As has already been said, Cody would have had a great feel good moment but as he wouldn't/shouldn't have been part of the Bloodline implosion, he didn't really have anywhere to go after 'Mania unless they have a secret up their sleeve like, say, a Jay White debuting. If that was the case, then it really is a big ol' mess of booking. I can see this being a moment that modifications are built around in the future with people wanting to fix this mistake. 😆
  22. Titles were defended more regularly back in the day, so I haven't necessarily got a problem with that. And I'm a bit reluctant to lower the titles event frequency just because there's no way of increasing it in a narrative or what have you so as the game world progresses and you'd expect EMLL to have weekly television and monthly events as is the norm', their events wouldn't feature titles as often. Saying that, I may lower some of the lesser titles to try and find a good balance. Hopefully benjirino's suggestion of adding Super Viernes as a dormant television show will help with this and EMLL will move into television sooner rather than later. Not intentional to stunt growth, but EMLL definitely toured Mexico at this point in time so I wouldn't limit them to Mexico City. You've got to remember that Super Viernes isn't like what you'd see in, say, an 80s modification and it's instead in there to simulate EMLL running weekly shows as without a television deal (which they didn't have at this time) they'd basically be dormant except for once a month. It's why almost all promotions have events set up the way they do. So no, I wouldn't worry about EMLL running in different regions. The 1,000 sounds pretty low because if my memory serves me right, there is a 10,000+ venue in the Sur region but truthfully, it doesn't bother me as even EMLL wouldn't sell out every time. Thanks to benjirino, I've done some work on both EMLL and AJW and I plan on getting an update out in a few days so hopefully everyone will see a difference in them anyway.
