  1. Colours aren't perfect but hopefully it suits your needs.
  2. As this isn't in the Technical Support forum I hope I don't get in trouble with Adam, but all you've got to do is import "Event Names" and "TV Show Names" from the Default database (or any other working database).
  3. I stupidly made a start on this at 'round 6.30PM and as any father of young children will know, that's a stupid time to start anything. I realise I could have just saved them until I finished the others, but I figured I'd tease you and finish the rest tomorrow. 😛 I won't be doing titles so if someone else wants to try them then be my guest but here's a logo, banner and the start of 13 events (I'll do 13 instead of 12 so you can choose one to use for television).
  4. It's not a "full" set, but it's close. And some are better than others but hopefully it's what you're looking for.
  5. This is actually a custom creation from one of the WWE 2K games because actual pictures of the title suck, as you've seen for yourself. It does look realistic enough for TEW games though, as I've used it in the past and I don't think anyone has noticed. 😛
  6. I don't read Japanese myself but I regularly get help from a friend of mine off these boards. Send me the picture in a message and I'll ask them to take a look.
  7. If you can't cut them yourself with Photoshop or GIMP, I've heard a lot of members use https://removal.ai/ and I just tried it for one of these images and it seems to work.
  8. I feel your pain! I literally looked for days for a picture of him under his "A-Train" gimmick. It's like he didn't exist before ECW, although he definitely did. In the end, I gave up but here's a picture of him from his ECW days without the Dudley glasses (I've also included a picture of Bubba from the same image in case you wanted to add it for tag team purposes):
  9. There were no subscriptions and although there were PPV providers around this time, they certainly didn't find professional wrestling as a worthwhile airer. Obviously, you could pretend you are a pioneer and be the first to run a PPV but if you want to be more realistic, they'd more often than not just be televised (on cable) as a "normal" show but bring about the end of storylines and be more likely to see a title change hands.
  10. It's since the move to a new forum host. All the links are still there, they just don't work properly. However, if you copy the link (right click the link from the original post and click "Copy link address") and paste it into your address bar, you can alter it slightly by adding "forum." to the start of the address and changing "forum" to "topic" to push through the original link. For example, take the first link "USPW" which is "http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=545211" and change it to "forum.greydogsoftware.com/topic/showthread.php?t=545211" to make the link work correctly, and save you the time of searching for it yourself. @Jaded or any moderator should be able to do that to all the links in the original post if they wanted to make it even easier. EDIT: You don't even have to change "forum" to "topic" as I just tried it without and it still worked. So yeah, just add "forum." to the start of the address and it pushes the original link through. 👍

It really is a huge update so if you’ve never played this modification before, now is the time to do so. Or, if you’re a regular player of this modification, I think you’re going to see a big difference in how things look, how the game world develops, and how many workers you recognise as they come into the game world. Here are a few examples of what is included in this update: With a big thank you to Taker, I’ve added narratives that comprise the whole of the 1970s. It really brings the game world to life and also adds a bit of colour to those other shows you’re competing with outside of the wrestling world. I’ve added a European scene with the additions of Frances “Fédération Française de Catch Professionnel” and Germanys “Internationaler Berufsringkämpfer-Verband” which has allowed me to give workers who were already in the data their set European popularity whilst also expanding the modification. For example, André the Giant now has popularity in his native France. I’ve completely redone title histories; fixing countless errors that have come to light since I first made the modification, improving some pictures and also changing the date format of all titles. I basically started from scratch with the whole picture pack, improving countless things to ensure things are a lot more uniform from one worker to the next. I’ve also changed a lot of pictures to better quality ones, and/or tried my best to improve the quality of the pictures that I already had. I think this picture pack is about as good as it can get when I’m searching for pictures of people from the 70s but as always, if you find a better picture, please let me know. And, as always, I’ve improved the number of workers (both workers from the start and those yet to debut). The number I started with was 1,723, and the number now stands at 2,295 which gives you an idea of how many names I’ve added. There's probably a bunch more that I've done that you'll notice but I'll leave them for you to find rather than spoil any small, nice surprises. So, without further ado, get out there and play this modification and above all else, enjoy yourselves. You've earned it. And 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 - as always. Thank you for dropping by.
  12. I'm working on other projects at the moment (a Territory Daze update and a couple of brand new modifications) and haven't got any plans to work on a Shifting Sands update, but adding "Wrestling Society X" is something I'd definitely consider doing.
  13. They're generally low, so it's not just you. 😛 It's just the way I prefer my modifications as I prefer to have a challenge and I've always felt inflated star quality makes things too easy. As always, you're welcome to adjust statistics to however you prefer to play.
  14. Yeah, sorry. It's taking a bit longer than expected. Not only did a few things pop in my life that meant I couldn't do as much as I hoped I could in the aforementioned one/two week(s) but when I did get to finish up what I have started, it led me to other things I wanted to incorporate. Right now, I have 32 names left to add so it'll probably be done in under a week. My apologies everyone but I assure you, if you're a fan of this modification, you're going to love this update.
  15. I've been working really hard on a huge update for this and I was desperately trying to get it out for Christmas but alas, as you can tell, there's still some stuff I want to finish up. I could spoil it and tell you what it entails but where's the fun in that? Hopefully it's only a week or two away though, so I'll reveal more then. I hope you all had an excellent Christmas.
  16. Oh wow, I totally forgot I started that. xD I should totally do some more when I have the time because I really enjoyed it. Here are the others that lavelleuk wasn't able to supply. I've also included a Canadian Dragon and black American Patriot from the C-Verse too because they are two of my favourites and I think a lot of people may have missed 'em. 😄 Kota Ibushi - James Mitchell - Susan/Susie/Su Yung - Roman Reigns - Bobby Lashley - Rhea Ripley - Omos - Eddie Kingston
  17. Active Promotions Alberta Championship Wrestling Alberta Championship Wrestling is the official developmental promotion of Calgary Stampede which has been in existence nearly as long as the National Wrestling Alliance itself, and is one of the oldest and most prestigious promotions in the entire world. Run by the legendary Hart family, Calgary has boasted some of the greatest technical wrestlers the sport has ever seen, and many of them were trained at the iconic Hart Family Dungeon which is one of the most well respected wrestling schools in the universe. Proving to be a useful developmental promotion for Dungeon students and veterans that Stampede want to take a look at alike, Alberta Championship Wrestling is an adequate proving ground with members of the Hart family themselves - most notably Owen - putting the wrestlers through their paces and ensuring they're ready if they're ever called up to the main roster. American Wrestling Association Anton Stecher was a founding member of the National Wrestling Alliance in 1948 and had promoted wrestling in Minneapolis since 1933 through his Minneapolis Boxing and Wrestling Club. In 1952, Stecher sold a one third interest in the promotion to his son Dennis and Wally Karbo, and after he died, control of the promotion passed to them. Then in 1960, after unsuccessfully lobbying the NWA for a title match between Verne Gagne and the NWA World Champion Pat O'Connor, Wally led certain territories out of the NWA, forming the American Wrestling Association, with the Minneapolis Boxing and Wrestling Club as the head. A uniquely Midwestern institution, the Minnesota-based promotion has brought unforgettable competitors to flickering RCAs in frozen suburbs from Fargo to old Milwaukee. Still the only independent organisation in America, the promotion has recently absorbed Jim Cornette's Smoky Mountain Wrestling in an effort to conserve independent wrestling, branding itself the "All-New AWA". CHIKARA Pro Taking both its name and logo from the Japanese kanji meaning "strength", CHIKARA Pro was founded in 2002 by pro wrestlers Mike Quackenbush and Reckless Youth, who also served as in-ring performers and trainers at the affiliated Wrestle Factory. Two of the promotions major events, September's King of Trios, the promotion's premiere event, and April's Tag World Grand Prix are centered on tag team and trios matches. Their other major events include Aniversario, held in May, and the Young Lions Cup tournament, held between June and August. Primarily influenced by the lucha libre tradition with performers grouped into tecnicos and rudos, CHIKARA is also influenced by a variety of other styles including puroresu and comedy, and they're known for using unique gimmicks and characters. Whilst CHIKARA uses many Wrestle Factory graduates, they have also made relationships with foreign companies, allowing them to bring in new faces and add even further variation to their in-ring style. Calgary Stampede Having been in existence nearly as long as the National Wrestling Alliance itself, Calgary Stampede is one of the oldest and most prestigious promotions in the entire world. Run by the legendary Hart family, Calgary still boasts some of the greatest technical wrestlers the sport has ever seen. In the 1990's, Calgary truly shined as the franchise promotion of the NWA, producing four NWA World Champions in Bret Hart, Davey Boy Smith, Curt Hennig and Owen Hart. While Bret shined as the promotion's biggest star of the 90s, his focus shifted following the death of his father in 2003 when he sought control of the day to day operations of the promotion behind the scenes. It was around this time that a Stampede original known as Chris Benoit accomplished something no man had ever done before, holding all three World titles in the men's division, an accomplishment known as the Triple Crown. Although many claim to be, Calgary Stampede is the true heart beat of the NWA. Combat Zone Pro Founded by John Zandig and Jon Dahmer, Combat Zone Pro is an independent promotion that focuses on the hard-hitting and violent aspects of professional wrestling, coining the phrase "ultraviolence" to describe their in-ring style. Although there was a flurry of independent organisations that popped up in the 1990s which reflected the sign of the times by concentrating on blood and guts, CZP are practically the only promotion in the United States still actively participating in the Deathmatch scene. Offering an alternative to the masses and in particular a younger crowd, Combat Zone Pro has a very volatile and opinionated fanbase and whilst they're unlikely to ever threaten those promotions at the top, they could certainly grow into a cult organisation. Dragon Pro Dragon Pro was created by three top super junior heavyweight wrestlers helmed by Último Dragón to showcase a new age in Japanese puroresu infused with Mexican lucha libre. Most of Dragon Pro's wrestlers are graduates of the Dragon Pro Dojo, and as the training facility places a large emphasis on a junior heavyweight style with varying emphasis on high flying maneuvers, flashy technical grappling and submission wrestling, it's what the promotion is also based on. Offering a real alternative to the more traditional styles of All Japan Pro Wrestling and New Japan Pro-Wrestling, Dragon Pro is arguably the most exciting product in the world right now but it remains to be seen if they could become the number two promotion in Japan or even challenge for the number one spot without the backing of the National Wrestling Alliance. Eastern Championship Wrestling Formed in 1996 by Tod Gordon, Eastern Championship Wrestling wasn't affiliated with the National Wrestling Alliance to begin with and Gordon, having come from Memphis Championship Wrestling as a successful manager, booked very similar to Memphis style shows but it wasn't what the crowd wanted. On the verge of going broke despite joining the NWA, Paul Heyman stepped in and took the reins, and began delivering hardcore, cutting edge wrestling that wasn't being seen in America at the time. The fans immediately ate it up and for a four year spell, they were virtually untouchable but by 2004, things started looking downhill for ECW. Realising Eastern Championship Wrestling needed to go through another change, Heyman has strayed away from the hardcore, violent stigma that made it famous and has now turned his attention to developing a slew of young stars that are important to its future - but that's not to say it doesn't have its vicious tendencies. Federación de Mexicana Lucha Libre With Imperio de Lucha Azteca stepping away from the traditional lucha libre style so beloved by Mexican audiences to produce a more American inspired product, it wasn't long before rumours began swirling that various veteran luchadors began talking about forming a new promotion that would restore Mexican traditional values. Then in late-December of 2009, news broke that legendary luchadors Blue Demon Jr. and Vampiro were set to launch a new promotion dubbed Federación Mexicana de Lucha Libre (or FMLL for short) with backing from the National Wrestling Alliance. With a focus on traditional lucha libre, the inception of FMLL marks the first time in over twenty years that another large promotion has operated alongside ILA in Mexico but whether the two can co-exist under the rule of the NWA is a burning question. Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling is a Japanese professional wrestling promotion founded in July, 1989 by Atsushi Onita. Specialising in hardcore wrestling involving weapons such as barbed wire and fire from the outset, Onita wrestled in the first ever exploding barbed wire match with Tarzan Goto which started a revolution amongst the small "garbage wrestling" organisations of Japan. As business progressed however, the violence has slowly been toned down and there has been an influx of lighter stars, with Hayabusa becoming the central star of the promotion. Still offering a lot of blood and guts though, FMW has become something of a hybrid that has allowed them to keep a largely cult following in Japan, whilst also releasing various DVD's abroad to give them something of an international following. Gorgeous Ladies of the American Mat! Deciding to vote on whether the National Wrestling Alliance should have their first ever affiliate dedicated to women's wrestling, many on the NWA board opposed but in the end, the decision to form a new affiliate won through the slenderest of majorities. Out of that vote, the Gorgeous Ladies of the American Mat! was formed and the federation thanked the board by putting on the most baffling, shocking debut show in the history of wrestling. The immediate impact saw GLAM!'s next show cancelled and Rena Mero installed as owner, who has quickly proven that women can be beautiful and dangerous. Making quite a name for itself with a talented roster of women, GLAM! has recently caused controversy when they began promoting the unsanctioned REAL World Women's Championship, souring their relationship with other companies and also the NWA. Yet to Open Promotions All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling In August, 1955, the All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling Association was formed to oversee the plethora of joshi puroresu (women's professional wrestling) organisations that were founded throughout Japan following the tour in November, 1954 by Mildred Burke. The alliance didn't last long as promotional war among the members killed the popularity of the sport but in 1967, a similar attempt was made with the Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling Association being formed, with Takashi Matsunaga an important member. Then in 1968, Takashi and his brothers left the association and founded All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling. Responsible for training extremely talented women, almost every major star of joshi puroresu went through AJW's turnstile but unfortunately, financial trouble and defections of talent combined to weaken the once-dominant promotion until it closed in April, 2005. However, with the National Wrestling Alliance seeking to take hold of women's wrestling in Japan, it could soon be reborn. Apache Pro-Wrestling Following the changing of product of Frontier Martial-Arts Wrestling as they moved away from their roots and concentrated on smaller wrestlers, Hiromichi Fuyuki formed his own promotion, which ran under the names Fuyuki-Gun Promotion and World Entertainment Wrestling, administering the WEW titles originally created in FMW in 1999. Following Fuyuki's death in March, 2003, FMW alumni such as Kintaro Kanemura, Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Go Ito briefly maintained the promotion before founding Apache Pro-Wrestling in 2004. Unfortunately though, Apache Pro closed its doors in June, 2009 but with a vocal fanbase that has seen their style of wrestling drop in popularity and FMW alumni still lacing up their boots, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Apache Pro-Wrestling open its doors again in the near future. Central States Wrestling The original Central States Wrestling survived from July, 1948 until it closed in 1989, and the territory was one of the original territories of the National Wrestling Alliance with two of the six "founding fathers" of the NWA (Paul "Pinkie" George and Orville Brown) promoting the area. In late-1987, Bob Geigel stepped down as chairman of the NWA and as the owner of the original CSW at the time, he also withdrew the promotion from the alliance. Despite sharing the same name however, this Central States Wrestling isn't a direct descendent of the original and is instead the NWA's attempt at placing a promotion in direct competition of the independent outlier known as the American Wrestling Association. Taking the originals name and home area of Kansas City, Missouri, Central States Wrestling is going to do its best to disrupt the independent organisation. Major League Wrestling Originally founded in 2002, Major League Wrestling grew a cult following thanks to their television series titled "Underground TV" which was hosted by Joey Styles, and consisted of pre-taped matches from prior events. Despite their growing popularity though, MLW folded only a few years into their run and tranformed into a podcast network, initially focused on producing broadcast and digital content relating to the professional wrestling industry. In early-2017 however, MLW announced that it would once again be promoting wrestling events with the promotion marketing its product as "Hybrid Wrestling", with its roster featuring a mix of different styles. If they can earn the same cult following that they originally did, Major League Wrestling could be an independent promotion to keep an eye on. Maple Leaf Wrestling The promotion - initially known as the Queensbury Athletic Club - traces its roots back to 1930, when it was launched by Jack Corcoran, who had previously promoted boxing in Toronto under the Queensbury name. Initially, Corcoran was involved in a promotional war with rival promoter Ivan Mickailoff but after Corcoran allied himself with the new Maple Leaf Gardens in 1931, he took control of professional wrestling in Toronto until stepping down in 1939 and handed wrestling operations over to his assistants, John and Frank Tunney. While John sadly died just a few months after taking the reigns, Frank continued to book and promote the territory with great success until aligning with the World Wrestling Federation, which ultimately led to the promotions death. When the WWF folded however, the National Wrestling Alliance bought the rights to the promotion back and with no tangible results in Ontario ever since, its thought the re-birth of Maple Leaf Wrestling was inevitable.
