Didn't realize that about how TEW handles Alter Egos. It would be cool if you could set up inactive alter egos that you could turn on/off, but otherwise remained dormant. I'm not sure the best way to handle NWA. They do not have a large women's roster, but they do have a championship, and it's been featured on AEW. I wonder if there's a way to set it up so NWA doesn't run (many) shows of its own, but its champion goes around defending at other shows. Maybe asking a little too much (of both you and the game).

A few more things I've found. Yhe missing people are probably on your list, but just in case they aren't, I'll add them here. Missing Tesha Price Katalina Perez (not familiar with her, but she's on AEW Dark tonight) Aleah James (recently on NXT UK) Taeler Hendrix (is she retired?) Brie Bella Add Courtney Rush alter ego for Rosemary. Jessicka Havok and Nevaeh feuded with Paradise Lost, but they were never part of the group in RISE (unless I'm forgetting, but I've seen all of RISE and don't recall that). Shantelle Taylor/Taylor Wilde is rumored to be making a comeback. Looks like you have Amazing Kong as both the default and the alter ego. Guessing one should be Awesome. Edit: No NWA? I really think they should be included, especially with how they've had a partnership with AEW recently.

Oh, cool. Dealing with pictures is probably my least favorite part of the game, so I will happily just go with no pics until someone else does that work for me.

Any suggestions on where to get pics for the people who don't have one? I noticed quite a few (this is obviously not your fault, just wondering if you have a second picture pack in mind to add those in).

Just downloaded and went through the picture process. Super excited to dig in here. Please don't take any of the following as a complaint. You've done some great work. Just tossing out ideas. A few omissions, unless I somehow missed them: Faye Jackson Queen Aminata Sophie King Valentina Loca Kellyanne (from the UK) Meave O'Farrell (Canada) Zan Phoenix (UK) Kayla Kassidy (she debuted after your January 2019 start date, if that matters) Vipress KiLynn King Tiana Ringer (She made a little comeback in 2019. Not sure if she'll stick around, but could maybe add her as retired/semi-retired) Also, not sure if you can do this in the game, but maybe add Kennadi Brink as an Alter Ego for Jessika Carr? Not sure if you can have a non-wrestler with an alter ego that wrestles. Kris Wolf lives in Norway now, but she was never based out of there as an active wrestler. I'd probably go with Japan, though not exactly sure where she was living in January 2019. IMO, Zoey Skye should be Dust's primary (with Dust as the Alter Ego). AFAIK, she was only Dust in RISE/SHIMMER as part of Paradise Lost. Rain wasn't retired as of January 2019. I'm not sure she's 100% retired now since she's co-promoting UCE Wrestling in Hawaii. She's also pregnant right now, so retirement from in-ring competition could be coming soon for her. (As an aside: The pic set's picture for Rain is literally the worst picture of Rain I've ever seen. It's might actually be the only bad picture of Rain I've ever seen.) I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow. Those are just some notes I took while browsing through the roster.

Anybody have an idea for Urena Frost and Talia Neema? Individually, there's a lot to work with, but I can't figure out a good name that combines Frost and her Finnish background with Neema and the Pharaoh name/Egyptian background.

Oh geez, I have no idea how I missed that (other than I don't stay on that screen for long). It even says click to rename it! Thank you!

Is there a way to change the name of an event once you're in PM mode on the day of the event? All my shows are numbered with a name/subtitle after. I just realized I forgot to add in my latest show's subtitle, so right now it's just numbered. Can't figure out how to change it at this juncture. If not, is there a way to retroactively change a show name?

You bet. As I write this I'm watching Shimmer at the Collective, and I've already been introduced to three or four more women who definitely need to be part of it.

Ugh, yeah. I like good tag team wrestling, but I can't book it at all. I think it's because there are only a few and I feel like feuds get repetitive (I try to not recycle the same matches over and over; I don't think a feud should be the same people having the same match every single show). It's even harder when booking an indie, which I do. It's extra extra hard when I book a women's promotion, which I do. My "tag division" is basically 3-4 regular teams and randomly thrown together people I hire for a show to put others over. It sucks. When it comes specifically to the game: I am awful with booking angles. Because the exact angle I want is never in the game, and it takes too long/I'm too lazy to write something up. So I end up just using "Save from 2 on 1 attack" every show even though it's not really the same angle.

Do you have a working list of your roster? If you have enough and don't want more suggestions, I get it, but if you're looking for anybody else to add I can see if anybody comes to mind. I have a pretty good/deep knowledge of American indie wrestlers (it helps that I'm a 15-20 minute drive from where SHIMMER/RISE hold most of their shows).

Question about timing of adding to a storyline. When should I add a new person to an ongoing story? Say I have a beatdown and someone new is going to make a big save, and now be part of it. Should I add them ahead of time (while booking the show)? Should I add them only after I run the angle? I assume I should add them to the storyline before I use them in the storyline, but not sure how the ratings/bonuses/penalties all work.

<p>I know there are descriptions in the handbook, but none of them seem to truly fit.</p><p> </p><p> What would everybody suggest for a stable where the connection is a single manager (Heenan Family/Dangerous Alliance/Million Dollar Corporation type deal)? Faction could work, but I feel like Faction describes Inner Circle more than "led by a manager" stables.</p>

You can import, yes. Go into settings and one of the options on the side is Import Data. I do not know what kind of effect this has on the game though. Anybody know if weird stuff happens if you do that?
