Some Chikara Identities worth knowing about. I'd suggest putting workers in under non-Chikara gimmicks when possible and putting CHIKARA ones as alter egos. Drew Gulak = Soldier Ant (Gulak) JC Ryder = Fire Ant (Ryder in data) Tracy Williams = Green Ant (Green Ant in data) Arctic Rescue Ant / Bullet Ant = Jixx (Arctic in data) Alex Reynolds = combatANT (combatANT in data) Zito = assailANT / Worker Ant II (assailANT in data) Isias Velazquez = deviANT (deviANT in data) Vin Gerard = Equinox I (Equinox in data) Leslie Butterscotch = Hydra (Hydra in data) TJ Cain = Jervis Cottonbelly I (Jervis in data) Victor Vanek, originally known as RB Banks = Missile Assault Ant (Missile in data) Lucky 13 = Retail Dragon (Dragon in data) John Silver = The Shard (Shard in data) Mike Quackenbush = Darkness Crabtree (both in data DUPLICATE) Chuck Taylor = Orbit Adventure Ant (both in data DUPLICATE) For the curious, here's a full list of "known" Chikara identities. 17 (I) = Kyle Matthews 17 (II) = Ophidan Amasis = Desean Pratt Archibald Peck = RD Evans Arctic Rescue Ant = Jixx Argus = Ryan Zane Ashley Remmington = Dalton Castle assailANT = Zito BLANK = Logan Easton LaRoux Blaster McMassive = Thomas Sharp Bullet Ant = Jixx Carpenter Ant = Pinkie Sanchez Chiva Kid = Andrew Everett combatANT = Alex Reynolds Create-A-Wrestler = A Very Good Professional Wrestler Danjerhawk = Mach10 Darkness Crabtree = Mike Quackenbush Dasher Hatfield = A Very Good Professional Wrestler Deaucalion = Chainsaw King deviANT = Isaias Velazquez Donald Kluger = Rob Locke Dr. Cube (II) = Jakob Hammermeier Dragon Dragon = Various, Eddie Kingston El Hijo del Ice Cream = Mike Quackenbush, Various Equinox (I) = Vin Gerard Equinox (II) = Jimmy Olsen Equinox (III) = Ace Haven Flex Rumblecrunch = Sean Burke Fire Ant = Orange Cassidy Green Ant (I) = Lince Dorado (only appeared at ringside, never wrestled) Green Ant (II) = Kazuhiko Miyakami Green Ant (III) = Tracy Williams Helios = Ricochet Hieracon = Jonathan Gresham Hydra (I) = Orange Cassidy (only appeared once) Hydra (II) = Leslie Butterscotch Hype Rockwell = CA Elliot Ice Cream Jr. = Hallowicked, Chuck Taylor, Various Ichabod Slayne = Icarus Jasper Tippins = Joe Keys Jervis Cottonbelly (I) = TJ Cain Jervis Cottonbelly (II) = Hallowicked Jervis Cottonbelly (III) = Kevin Condron (AKA Gentleman Jervis) Kid Cyclone = Kevin Condron Kodama = Louie Valle Lance Steel (I) = Hallowicked Lance Steel (II) = Niles Young Lithuanian Snow Troll = Alexander Bird Mano Metalico = DJ Hyde Max Smashmaster = Sebastian Reese Merlok = Havoc Milo Schnitzler = Pat Mathews Missile Assault Ant = Victor Vanek Mr. Azerbaijan = Chuck Taylor Moscow The Communist Bovine = A Very Good Professional Wrestler Nokken = TJ Marconi Nytehawk = Mike Quackenbush Obariyon = Chris Peaks One-Eyed Jack = Victor Benjamin Orbit Adventure Ant = Chuck Taylor Polar Baron = Jakob Hammermeier Prakash Sabar = Officer Bruno Meloni Qefka The Quiet = Daniel Yost Race Jaxon = Logan Easton LaRoux Razerhawk = Razerwyng Red Queen = Lady Frost Retail Dragon = Lucky 13 Rick Roland = Rex Lawless Rock Lobster = Smiley Saturyne = Hania The Howling Huntress Silver Ant = Tracy Williams Slaash = Various, Pinkie Sanchez Sloan Caprice = Mike Verna Soldier Ant = Drew Gulak Swamp Monster = Various, Pete Dunne, Daffney, Dolph Ziggler Sylverhawk = Wheeler YUTA The Latvian Proud Oak = RD Evans The Mysterious & Handsom Stranger = RD Evans The Shard = John Silver Ultimo Breakfast = A Very Good Professional Wrestler Ursa Minor in the Night Sky = Jixx Very Mysterious Ice Cream = Claudio Castagnoli Volgar = Lucas Calhoun Vokoder (I) = Sami Callihan (was supposed to be Vokoder but never actually appeared) Vokoder (II) = Tim Donst Wani = Kai Katana / Kyler Khan Worker Ant (I) = Slacker Martin Worker Ant (II) = Zito

<p>My favourite "what if..." is taking what WWF could realistically get with their purchase of WCW (aka lots of big names not availible) and try to use that as the basis to relaunch WCW. Looking forward to this.</p><p> </p><p> Noticed a handful of missing pictures, but I assume thats being looked into.</p><p> </p><p> Kid Romeo, Kwee Wee, and Kaz Hayashi both were picked up by WWF and sent to HWA. Hayashi did quit soon there after. Romeo was around in HWA until November. Kwee Wee as in HWA until December.</p><p> </p><p> Booker T is probably too over. 85 seems high for him. Probably low 70's would be more fitting (74?).</p>

Anyone consider doing a Akihiro Hisato rerender that just isnt a different angle of his dad.

Any chance someone can re-render Jayson Van Pelt to be in the more similar "style" as Kamikaze? Use them as a top team in my game and HATE that their pics dont match up in style. https://i.imgur.com/CVPACDm.jpg (how JVP looks now) https://i.imgur.com/ZoxhXSr.jpg (the style I'd like it to be closer too)

Trying to create all out stable warfare in a game as WCW (in the cornellverse). So far I have: "The Era" - Jay Chord (leader), Ernest Youngman (Deputy), Marvel Malloy, Storm Spillane, Sasquatch McGraw (Muscle) The group that started it all. The big heels. Chord surrounded himself with allies to allow himself to dominate WCW for its first year of existence. After seeing how its going, other groups are now starting to slowly form and I'm going to try and maintain a NJPW-like focus on stables with general alliances with a few tighter knit groups. That said I need help with some names. "The Good Guys" - This group is basically going to be Chaos. The general alliance of the good guys. It needs a better name, but also has to be generic enough to allow people (and leaders) to come and go. The founding group is going to be Sammy Bach, Joffy Laine, Big Papa Swoll, & Fro Sure. Swoll & Fro team up as "Street Kings" and along with Joffy Laine have been three guys I pushed to the moon and are all very over. "The Good Wrestlers" - This is just a three man group for now. Matthew Keith, Jayson Van Pelt & Kamikaze (as Christian Vars). They're faces. I signed Keith and gave him an Arch Competitor gimmick where he basically just wants to be the best, wrestle the best, and prove hes he best. He recently took JVP & Kamikaze (as The Air Devils) under his wing as proteges and training partners. This group will always be focused on wrestlers more driven by in-ring skill then entertainment. "The Wannabe Era" - Nelson Callum, Quentin Queen, Wolfie Tagg, & Kalder Tagg. The "2nd" heel group as it were. The Hot Taggs were the last gift of Savage Fury, who got them over on their way out of WCW (SF also got the street kings over). Callum was offered to join the Era several times but sees himself as a leader so has formed his own group trying to mirror The Era, which will eventually possibly lead to a heel vs heel showdown.

RVD is far to over.

Phil Vibert (user character) returned to wrestling to form World Championship Wrestling (so creative) with a MASSIVE amount of money. The only big "gets" were Jay Chord and Sammy Bach jumping ship to be the cornerstones of this new promotion. Only 7 months in, and a lot has happened: - WCW Nitro on NCTV. - The intial roster was all unemployed people besides Sammy Bach, Jay Chord, Fro Sure, & Papa Swoll. - Fro Sure, renamed Reggie Wilds, and Big Papa Swoll teamed up as the Street Kings and began a rise in the tag team division. - WCW World Heavyweight title, WCW World Cruiserweight title, and WCW World Tag Team titles are the starting championships. With the WCW Royal Rumble and WCW King of the Ring as annual competitions. WCW Royal Rumble 2020 WCW World Heavyweight Championship - WCW Royal Rumble: Jay Chord wins to become the first champion, last eliminating Sammy Bach! WCW World Tag Team Championships - WCW World Tag League Final: Savage Fury (Java & Tribal Warrior) defeated Street Kings (Reggie Wilds & BP Swoll) to become the first champions. WCW World Cruiserweight Championships - Ladder Match: Rockin Ryan Turner defeated Happy Elwood, Harry Allen, Stan Manna, Raphael & Flash Savage to become the first champion. - Other notable guys on the roster are Joffy Laine, Chris Caulfield, Doug Peak & Quentin Queen. I also started with a lot of the "established" free agent teams like The McWade Brothers, Dirty White Boys & Death Row and used them to get the Street Kings over. Joffy Laine has has the most sustained singles push of anyone. - Stan Manna turned on Rockin' Ryan Turner out of jealousy after Turner had won the Cruiserweight title. WCW No Way Out 2020 WCW World Heavyweight Championship - Cage Match: Jay Chord retained over Sammy Bach WCW World Tag Team Championship: Savage Fury retained over the Dirty White Boys WCW World Cruiserweight Championship: Stan Manna defeated Rockin' Ryan Turner to win the title. Jonah Pilgrim debut as a lackey to Stan Manna to help him win. WCW WrestleMania 2020 WCW World Heavyweight Championship - 30-Minute Iron Man: Sammy Bach defeated Jay Chord to win the title. WCW World Tag Team Championship - Tables Match: Street Kings defeated Savage Fury to win the titles. WCW World Cruiserweight Championship - Ladder Match: Stan Manna retained over Rockin' Ryan Turner, Harry Allen & Raphael - Outside the championships, Chris Caulfield & Doug Peak were around and feuding with some younger guys to try and get them over. Quentin Queen was supposed to have a lengthy run with Caulfield but got injured so I dumped all resources into getting Laine over by singing anyone semi-over to 1-shot deals and jobbing them out and having an over arching feud with Doug Peak. WCW Backlash 2020 WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Sammy Bach retained over Java WCW World Tag Team Championships: Street Kings retained over McWade Brothers WCW World Cruiserweight Championship - Guitar on a Poll: Stan Manna retained over Rockin' Ryan Turner - Jay Chord got momentarily sidetracked in a short program with Chris Caulfield. WCW King of the Ring 2020 WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Jay Chord defeated Sammy Bach to win the title. Ernest Youngman debut helping Chord WCW King of the Ring 2020: Joffy Laine defeated Chris Caulfield to win the first ever KotR. WCW World Tag Team Championships: Street Kings retained over Savage Fury WCW World Cruiserweight Championship: Stan Manna retained over Rockin' Ryan Turner - King of the Ring winner, Joffy Laine, receives a WCW title shot of their choosing. Basically Money in the Bank. I did accidentally run the KOTR tourny a month early. I just forgot Judgement Day existed. So I had to swap the events at the last second. lol. - Jay Chord forms "The Era" with Ernest Youngman, his personal hired hand. A group dedicated to this era being Jay Chords and him using his influence to try and stay on top. - Rockin' Ryan Turner won back the WCW World Cruiserweight title on an episode of Nitro in a match where if he lost he'd quit music forever. - Newer stars starting to pop up (trying to get them over is annoying) with Aldous Blackfriar (as Aldous Black), Marvel Malloy (as Dean Marvel) & Storm Spillane (as Keith Storm) begin to make some small waves. Most established guys I dont intend to use leave around now, basically the old tag teams & Doug Peak who have basically just been jobbing on the lower cards to try and get others over. - Nelson Callum is signed from PSW. He's beginning a long slow feud with Chris Caulfield which will likely be Caulfield's last hurrah before I try and make him a road agent. WCW Judgement Day 2020 WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Jay Chord retained over Joffy Laine WCW World Tag Team Championships: Street Kings retained over Savage Fury WCW World Cruiserweight Championship: Aldous Black defeated Rockin' Ryan Turner to win the title. - "The Erasers" of Keith Storm & Dean Marvel join Jay Chord's era. The former American Cobras. - USPW let Running Wolf leave which is huge for me. I didnt expect to get someone of actual value, so I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with him. He debut as WCW Fully Loaded and won a random triple threat. I made the whole show triple threats for no reason. WCW Fully Loaded WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Jay Chord retained over Sammy Bach & Joffy Laine WCW World Tag Team Championships: The Erasers defeated Street Kings & Savage Fury to win the titles. WCW World Cruiserweight Championship: Aldous Black retained over Rockin' Ryan Turner & Stan Manna - Having Running Wolf fall on may lap is nice, though I'm not a huge fan. So I dont really know what to do with him. I think he might slot into have a 3-4 month program with Jay Chord to give Chord/Bach a break so I can have them main event the next WrestleMania (again). - The Era is the typical heel group, with Youngman helping Jay Chord win basically all his matches and The Erasers helping now too. Youngman actually hasnt had a big feud yet. He's likely going to move into a lengthy program with Sammy Bach to build Bach back up for the Royal Rumble (to win) and eventually next WrestleMania. - Between Nelson Callum, Joffy Laine & Ernest Youngman I have a nice trio of good young workers to build up. I wish I could bring in the secondary belt for them, but I just dont have the roster size to accommodate that right now. - I need to rebuild the tag team division as the only 3 "real" teams are Street Kings (30), Savage Fury (100) & The Erasers (100). I signed Kamikaze & Jayson Van Pelt (23) to use as a team or in the cruiserweight division. I slapped together the tag team of Happy Elwood & Drop Kix (12). Raphael & Flash Savage (18) also have been teaming a lot lately. - The Cruiserweight division is also a bit of a pickle. Like the Heavyweight division its been basically a 2-pony show between Turner & Manna. Blackfriar is a third guy who is now part of the fold, but trying to round out the division is kind of difficult. I feel I need people who can work & talk and sadly thats not a lot of cruiserweights. I may go pure X-Division style high spot with the division allowing me to slowly transition it to people like Kamkaze & JVP, but I'm not sure yet.

I need to rename The American Cobras. They've joined a stable called "The Era" that is headed by Jay Chord and also features Ernest Youngman. I'm looking at something like "The Revival" but not that...

It would be nice if we could use Agers to trigger body changes. From size and build to at least Hair. Its weird to have a picture update to a guy being bald but the game possibly having him still have hair. Even using them as a way to unmask people would maybe be nice.

Maybe I'm a moron, but I have now deleted a data I've been working on twice completely while trying to delete other things. I go on autopilot while doing data and clicking the red button with "delete" and then the corresponding click to confirm I do really quick. When deleting a database (a big decision) I think maybe having to type in the database name to confirm the delete or something would be better? So you cant just turbo click and accidentally do it? Or even type "Yes" instead of click it. I dunno. I'm dumb and frustrated.

Quickly put together the shortlist to maybe save some time if its decided they should be added. I think its a good idea, but its Fleisch's choice as always. Male Roster (not including one-off jobbers): Aron Stevens Caleb Konley Colt Cabana Dave Dawson Eddie Kingston Eli Drake Homicide James Storm Mr. Anderson Nick Aldis Ricky Morton Ricky Starks Robert Gibson Royce Isaacs Sal Rinauro Thomas Latimer Tim Storm Trevor Murdoch Zane Dawson Female Roster: Allysin Kay Ashley Vox Crystal Rose Marti Belle Thunder Rosa Tag Teams: The Dawsons (Dave Dawson & Zane Dawson) The Rock'n'Roll Express (Ricky Morton & Robert Gibson) The Wild Cards (Royce Isaacs & Thomas Latimer) Eddie Kingson & Homicide Championships: NWA World Heavyweight: Nick Aldis NWA World Tag Team: The Rock'n'Roll Express NWA National Heavyweight: Colt Cabana NWA World Women's: Allysin Kay Others: Billy Corgan (Owner / Road Agent) Brian Hebner (Referee) Dave Lagana (Booker / Road Agent) David Marquez (Personality / Announcer) Jim Cornette (Colour Commentator) Joe Galli (Announcer) Kamilla Kaine (manage Nick Aldis) Mike Posey (Referee) Robert King (Referee) Tony Falk (Personality / Manager) NWA Powerrr (Youtube TV Show every Tuesday, say evening)

<p>Might want to half consider adding "AEW Dark" as a b-show for AEW. Might be worth obviously seeing if it really is a weekly thing or if it fizzles out and is just being used to pad some W/L stuff for now.

Any ideas for a name for a WCW tournament that the finals will be during The Great American Bash every year? The first tournament will be to crown a new US champion, fittingly, but will launch an annual tournament. The game is a 2001 "WCW Rebirth" game I'm playing. I toyed with simply calling the Tournament "The Great American Bash" but that seems uninteresting. But having the name tie into the patriotic theme of the show does seem fitting.

Dylan Miley is now going by Lars Sullivan in NXT.

Not that he should be set as that, but if someone were to want to fantasy book him in that role, who cares. IMO.</p>

Jason Brown, the CEO of Aroluxe, is going to be the CEO of TNA going forward. Anthem owns a majority share but I guess Brown is going to run it. I imagine its because Anthem doesnt plan to move TNA's offices to Ontario (TAXES!), so keeping them in Nashville I imagine they picked Brown half because Aroluxe is already based there. And I imagine no Canadian business people wanted to move to Nashville. Brown has a 3-year contract as CEO. As for Dixie, its hard to say. Being and "advisor" after being fired from CEO/President positions is just a way to save face. Even when CEO's/Presidents retire, they stay as advisors to try and show their is no bad blood, but generally dont do anything. I say set Dixie to out of the business. She's likely never going to have a big part in anything ever again, and the day the rumors start she might show up somewhere, set her back to active.

I agree with that 100%. I was more thinking along the lines of IF in the next year the WWE really does expand with these regional promotions. If the WWE UK tournament turns into a network show that airs weekly, with its unique contract set up (basically an indy/regional promotion) the only way to properly simulate it is to create it as its own promotion IMO. And when I say simulate, I mean, for people not playing as the WWE. 205 Live splitting too is maybe a bit of a stretch I tend to half agree. But if the WWE UK tournament blossoms into a successful think/regional promotion, I dont doubt WWE at least trying other examples of it, namely with Japan. I'm surprised they didnt jump to buy NOAH tbh. That would have been fun. NOAH with KENTA & TMDK back with a dash of Nakamura and Tozawa.

The workers will not necessarily be under contract with the WWE (Triple H's words) and would still work RevPro, ICW and PROGRESS dates etc. I really have no idea how to put this into the game as they have said the UK title will be for British workers and there is no way of creating that in TEW as the AI will put the belt on whoever it pleases regardless of nationality. They also talk of it becoming a weekly show on the Network, how would that work in TEW's mechanics?

Currently the data is in the least playable state it has been since around 2013. In fact, it is just a plain mess, but one I hope to have sorted soon. In terms of balance, it's like a see-saw with Yokozuna on one end and 123 Kid the other!</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Since 205 Live was announced I've wondered the same thing about how to handle the route WWE is currently going down. There's a few options: (all of which you might as well create an alliance to put WWE and NXT in, but all would be in the alliance in any other variation)</p><p> </p><p> 1) WWE (RAW/SmackDown/205) + NXT as developmetnal + WWE UK as its own promotion. Use the brand system, which while it keeps everyone under one promotion and is good for someone who wants to play as WWE and manage the massive amount of shows, playing as any other promotion besides WWE tends to end with this as being screwy. </p><p> </p><p> 2) WWE (With RAW/SmackDown brand split) + NXT as developmental + 205 Live + WWE UK</p><p> </p><p> 3) RAW + SmackDown + NXT + 205 Live + WWE UK - In this one you drop NXT as developmental IMO, or make NXT developmental for SmackDown while 205 and maybe WWE UK are developmental for RAW or something. Its really up for however random way to do it.</p><p> </p><p> 4) RAW/205 + SmackDown + NXT + WWE UK - In this one you keep 205 on RAW, because why not. You can then have NXT & UK as normal promotions or developmental.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I personally think you might as well go with Option 2. If people wish to play as WWE, its easy enough to add all the 205 guys back to WWE themselves. And if people want to split up WWE further, its a bit more work, but less work then putting them together. It also probably best simulates WWE within TEW. You can use hiring rules to limit the size of 205 guys, and playing as any non-WWE will allow them to sim the most properly IMO. Of course its your data, so do it however you like. I know if it was 100% my decision I would go with option 3 since I never have the patience to actually book all of the WWE. Booking one brand at a time way easier. </p><p> </p><p> Also in all mentions of "WWE UK" you make them a cult or maybe regional promotion in the UK. You kind of have to be cheap and maybe try and figure out who Henry Jacob and make him the owner. He's part of WWE's senior management and is apparently their foot soldier in the UK. Or just start adding random executives from the WWE if they keep expanding in this UK way. Imagine a WWE Japan, WWE Canada, WWE Europe, ect.</p>

Unknown if he's going to stay with CHIKARA or not. With WWE signing up people, and Amasis losing his mask, who knows.</p>
