R. Martin, A Game of Thrones </div> New Years Day - January 2016 BCG Offices - Osaka, Japan Yoshifusa Maeda | Kazu Yoshizawa Yoshizawa, "Well, that was...eventful" Maeda, "What? I told you exactly what I planned on saying at the press conference" Yoshizawa, "Yes, you did Maeda-san. Maybe I was hoping the sake from last night would wear off... You definitely didn't have to stretch that poor reporter though for asking a question." Maeda, "Let me be completely clear. I was 100% serious when I said that the 'Modern Japan' movement is an affront to our existence and way of life. And that reporter, a little ice and rest and he’ll be fine" Kazu, "I understand Yoshi, but to be so forward at a press conference... It's just not our way" Maeda's phone is ringing on his desk. Maeda, "Forget 'our way', Kazu. We have reacted for far too long. Our mere forming of this company was a reaction to what GCG did when they switched to a western schedule. It's time to make these sheep react to us. To that end, here, take a look at this list" Kazu, parsing the list, "OK, so this is a list of most of the current champions in the Modern Japan companies. What exactly is this?" Maeda, "Our signing list" Kazu, "Our WHAT?!?!" Maeda, "You heard me correctly, Kazu. These are the people that we endeavor to sign" Maeda's phone rings again. Kazu, "Yoshi, I'm with you, you know that. But this isn't a wish list. It's madness. It would make Kikkawa’s iNSPIRE walkout look like a fun night in Rappongi. This won't start a war we can win, it's a suicide mission" Maeda, "What you call a suicide mission, I call our next move in bringing this monstrosity of Modern Japan down." Kazu, "Literally every current SAISHO champion is on this list, Yoshi" Maeda, "And... so what? These sheep have stole workers from us for the last 5 years. I hear they already have eyes on Razan, Tanyu, and some others. I'm tired of reacting. Let's ACT first for once." A stream of texts starts vibrating Maeda's phone on the table, making it dance in a way that would make a geisha blush. Kazu, "Ok, even if we wanted all of them, HOW?" Maeda, "You'd be surprised. It's not like the old days today. Workers go where there is money to be had" Kazu, "If we have any left..." Maeda, "Let me worry about the finances Kazu, we have a tour to plan" Kazu, "Alright Yoshi, just give me the names like always and we'll put a tour together" Maeda's phone rings again, and drops to the floor. The name on the his phone reads "Mito Miwa". Kazu, "Are you going to answer that?" Maeda, "Answer what, Kazu? A lion doesn't concern itself with the opinion of sheep." </div>

An athletic 240lber, Torii gained his nickname because of his rapid fire forearm attacks, used especially when he's backed an opponent into a corner and can really unleash hell; the forearm is actually the basis of a large percentage of his moves, including a sweet flying forearm from the top rope and his finisher, the spinning forearm smash. Known for his warrior spirit, Torii took a big step toward greatness when he won the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix in 2014, then followed that up by winning the BCG World title in 2015 - that victory made him the first person to win the BCG Quadruple Crown.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Career Highlights:</strong></p><p> BCG World Champion [Aug 2015 - Today]</p><p> BCG Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix Winner [2014]</p><p> BCG World Tag Team Champion [Jun 2014 - Dec 2014]</p><p> BCG Challengers Series Championship [Jan 2011 - Jun 2012]</p><p> 2015 Power 500, Ranked #462</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </div></p><p> <div style="padding: 10px; border: 5px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #FFFFFF; max-width:1000px;box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/E7MhScU.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/E7MhScU.png</a>);background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;"><table style="border: 5px solid #C1001F; background: #FFFF00; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/pqh6EKm.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/pqh6EKm.png</a>);background-repeat:repeat-y;background-size:contain;background-position:center;"; cellpadding="5px"; frame="box"; width="100%"><tr valign="top"><td width="150px"; valign="middle"><img alt="UwVv3IP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/UwVv3IP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></td></p><p> <td><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Razan Okamoto</strong></span></p><p> <strong>Age:</strong> 25 (7 Year Pro)</p><p> <strong>Size:</strong> Lightweight</p><p> <strong>Finishing moves:</strong></p><p> Brainbuster Suplex</p><p> Dawnbreaker (with Bunrakuken Torii)</td><td width="200px"; align="right"; valign="middle"><img alt="aPbvajc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aPbvajc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>BCG Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix Winner</strong></p></div><p></p><p></td></tr></table></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p> A rising star in Japan, Razan Okamoto was discovered by Black Canvas Grappling and has been wrestling for them since their first show.

That, plus his cheeky charisma, makes him a natural babyface and one of the big prospects for BCG's future. He shocked everyone by making it to the final of the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix tournament in 2013; although he lost to Funakoshi, the tournament firmly established him as a future star.

He made his name in MAW, where as the ultra old-school character American Patriot he was champion for over a year, and has since gone on to split his time between America (with NYCW) and Japan (as a regular tourer with BCG).</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Career Highlights:</strong></p><p> BCG World Tag Team Champion [Jan 2016 - Today]</p><p> BCG Challengers Series Champion [Apr 2015 - Oct - 2015]</p><p> Mid Atlantic Championship [Jul 2009 - Sep 2010]</p><p> Rip Chord Invitational Challenge Winner [2008]</p><p> NYCW Tri-State Regional Champion (2x) [Aug 2011 - Jun 2012, Nov 2014 - May 2015]</p><p> 2015 Power 500, Ranked #375</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </div></p><p> <div style="padding: 10px; border: 5px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #FFFFFF; max-width:1000px;box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/NhKYodC.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/NhKYodC.png</a>);background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;"><table style="border: 5px solid #3B3B6D; background: #CE3B4E; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/NhKYodC.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/NhKYodC.png</a>);background-repeat:repeat-y;background-size:contain;background-position:center;"; cellpadding="5px"; frame="box"; width="100%"><tr valign="top"><td width="150px"; valign="middle"><img alt="A1r4E38.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/A1r4E38.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></td></p><p> <td><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Giant Brody</strong></span></p><p> <strong>Age:</strong> 29 (7 Year Pro)</p><p> <strong>Size:</strong> Big Heavyweight</p><p> <strong>Finishing moves:</strong></p><p> Single Handed Choke Slam</p><p> Wicked Big Foot<td></tr></table></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p> Leon "Giant" Brody is a 6'9, 326lb monster of a man.

Brody was under a development deal with SWF between 2009 and 2012 but was eventually released and told to go and gain experience working the independent scene.

He also seems to have a natural ability to get a crowd on his side, as even though he hardly ever touches a microphone he always seems to have the fans rooting for him. After a year on the independent scene paying his dues Animal got his first break in 2009 when New York City Wrestling took him out East to work for them.

He also has some pedigree in the business - he is the nephew of Raymond Diaz, a legendary figure from PGHW in Japan. His uncle's name value was enough to get the interest of several companies, but it was PSW who signed him up almost immediately upon him turning pro.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </div></p><p> <img alt="rYebwAf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rYebwAf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <div style="padding: 10px; border: 5px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #E2E09D; max-width:1000px;box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png</a>);background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;"></p><p> <img alt="npJKPfz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/npJKPfz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:14px;"><strong>Young Lions</strong></span></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="2EJnyCv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2EJnyCv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zcOTans.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zcOTans.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9Av0E18.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9Av0E18.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="oVR2WsZ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/oVR2WsZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>Azumamaro Shimizu | Danjuro Kikuchi | Gidayu Katou | Isoroku Arakaki</strong></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="TSue6T3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TSue6T3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="pTy3kFo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pTy3kFo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="LYzFhc1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LYzFhc1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong> Motoyuki Miyake | Naozane Goto | Stealth Z</strong></p><p> </p><p> </div></p><p> <div style="padding: 10px; border: 5px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #FFFFFF; max-width:1000px;box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png</a>);background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;"><table style="border: 5px solid #000000; background: #E2E09D; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png</a>);background-repeat:repeat-y;background-size:contain;background-position:center;"; cellpadding="5px"; frame="box"; width="100%"><tr valign="top"><td width="150px"; valign="middle"><img alt="yay1daO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yay1daO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></td></p><p> <td><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Azumamaro Shimizu</strong></span></p><p> <strong>Age:</strong> 24 (2 Year Pro, Young Lion)</p><p> <strong>Size:</strong> Middleweight</p><p> <strong>Finishing moves:</strong></p><p> Figure Four Necklock (Angled Arm Trap Figure Four Stranglehold)<td></tr></table></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p> Azumamaro Shimizu is a solid competitor from Japan.

In terms of in-ring skill, it is too early to tell how good he can become, but he is definitely an exciting talent to watch. He popped up in EX2010 in early 2013, although there was some confusion over his status within the company as his appearances were very sporadic to say the least. By the summer of 2014 it was confirmed that he was no longer on the roster - to this day, nobody is sure what really happened.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </div></p><p> <img alt="rYebwAf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rYebwAf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="UrLS9OG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/UrLS9OG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Freelancers & Other Affiliations</strong></span></p><p> </p><p> <div style="padding: 10px; border: 5px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #FFFFFF; max-width:1000px;box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png</a>);background-position:center;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-size:contain;"><table style="border: 5px solid #000000; background: #E0E0E0; box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2), 0 6px 20px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.19); background-image:url(<a href="https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png" rel="external nofollow">https://i.imgur.com/nXjwaAj.png</a>);background-repeat:repeat-y;background-size:contain;background-position:center;"; cellpadding="5px"; frame="box"; width="100%"><tr valign="top"><td width="150px"; valign="middle"><img alt="gctiar5.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gctiar5.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></td></p><p> <td><span style="font-size:12px;"><strong>Dynamite Narahashi</strong></span></p><p> <strong>Age:</strong> 32 (14 Year Pro)</p><p> <strong>Size:</strong> Middleweight</p><p> <strong>Finishing moves:</strong></p><p> Narahashi Cutter (Face Crusher)<td></tr></table></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:left;"><p><strong>Overview:</strong></p><p> Moromao "Dynamite" Narahashi is an energetic worker who got the nickname "Dynamite" thanks to his deadly Narahashi Cutter, the most explosive finishing move in Japan.

He is now an integral part of WEXXV and probably one of the most improved wrestlers on the roster.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Career Highlights:</strong></p><p> BCG Generations Series Winner [2016]</p><p> WEXXV Blood Brothers Champion (2x) [Aug 2011 - Feb 2012, Jul 2015 - Jan 2016]</p><p> WEXXV King Of Death Matches Champion [Jun 2011 - Nov 2011]</p><p> 2015 Power 500, Ranked #370</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </div></p><p> <img alt="rYebwAf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rYebwAf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p></div><p></p>

Kazu Yoshizawa, his Head Booker, is seated across from him as they review the last month of shows from around Japan. Kazu, “so we are sitting behind WLW, GCG, and 5SSW at the moment. With a little lead on Exodus, Warrior Engine, and Saisho.” Maeda continues, "Enough of this! You and I were great adversaries, Kazu. My ultimate rival. What made us great is that we never settled to be anything but the best. The 'Modern Japan Movement' [MJM] that Kajahara created is a black mark on our entire industry. Golden Canvas Grappling [GCG] may have brought us into this war by moving away from our traditions and going to a western schedule, but I will be damned if I will let them take down 55 years of Japanese tradition just to make some yen. We will not sit idly by any longer. All of these sheep taking the easy road, unknowingly being lambs led to the slaughter of our ideals and traditions. We have been at war with GCG for 5 years now, and haven't made any headway in showing the Japanese public the error of their ways. And how could we? Every promotion in Japan save for us & PGHW have moved to this ridiculous schedule. Even Burning Hammer!" Kazu, "...so, what are we going to do about it?" Maeda responds, "GCG is not enough. We need to take down the real problem here, Kazu. The Modern Japan Movement. I no longer consider ourselves just at war with GCG. As of tomorrow morning, we will be declaring war against EVERYONE in this 'movement'. We will bring them all down." Maeda has a sick smile on his weathered face. Kazu has seen that smile before. It’s the same smile Maeda wore when discussing bringing Black Canvas Grappling into existence in December 2011. It may have convinced him then, but Kazu is a bit worried his friend is off his rocker. Maybe it was those sake-bombs from earlier in the night... Kazu, slowly, responds "You can't be serious Maeda-san. We are struggling to fight ONE promotion, and you want to take them ALL on? Besides, these other promotions also have Juniors, Deathmatch, and Joshi workers. They aren't our competition. GCG is the real problem here and what brought us together to create Black Canvas in the first place. To restore the glory of the 'Roaring Lion' tradition. We will not survive if we take them all on at once" Maeda, "Our promotion is slowly dying here, Kazu. And you or I are not getting any younger. This atrocity of westernizing Puroresu needs to be stopped once and for all. If we want to restore the glory of the ‘Roaring Lion’, we have to take a final stand and end this madness. Sure we could keep this going in our current state, but for how long? It’s only a matter of time before Burning Hammer joins the MJM. If they do, this will all have been in vain. If we don’t end this now, before they join, there will be no Roaring Lion left to defend." Maeda finishes with "Dead lions, Kazu, do not roar" </div> -------------------- OOC: So, this is something I have been marinating on for a long, long time. I know we have Dark_Raider's excellent BCG diary on here (and I reached out to him before creating this one to make sure he is cool with it), but BCG is far and away my favorite CVerse promotion. It was the one that originally "hooked" me on TEW back in 2013 and I've always wanted to give it a proper "dynasty" run. I am not sure how often or steady I will be updating, with WIRE and Real World Chronicles also in my to-do list, but as I work my way through with BCG I will be sharing it here. I will be starting with shows next week likely. Special thanks to willr0ck for his great renders and shared love of BCG, the rest of the WIRE crew for their support and banter, Dark_Raider, and anyone so brave as to read my puro ramblings. Enjoy!

  9. Thanks! We will stay on this one for the time being. If Fleisch wants to switch back over once Flashpoint is released we can do that then.
  10. Lower midcard-ish pop (whatever that means in your game world) seems about right.
  11. The game auto-gives a worker you are viewing F- pop in your company home region (assuming you are using IMPACT above) if they have none set. She actually has no pop in Canada at all at the moment. She's at 5% in the US and could use a bump as you mentioned. (That is part of a larger IMPACT pop re-rate I have been fiddling with which I will pass over to Fleisch for April)
  12. Thanks for the kind words Thank you. No, I will not be releasing an update Friday. Beyond that, I don't know. I will edit the file on my end until Fleisch gives me the all clear that he's ready to work on it. I'll then pass it over to him for an April release. If I reach a point where I'm "happy" with the data before then, I'll post it here, but I'm not committing to any specific date and can't give you a timeline as I'm not even sure I will release an update before passing it over. Sorry I can't be more specific, as I know people look forward to each release, but that's where I'm at right now.
  13. <p>Alright, I feel like I owe a little post-mortem after my mini-meltdown above.</p><p> </p><p> Let me first say that the majority of pressure for each release is put entirely on myself, by myself. I'm a bit of a perfectionist/completest and as my wife would surely tell you I don't take criticism well. I know this is the exact opposite attitude of what someone building a modern day mod that the data changes underneath you on each release should undertake, and I'll admit that I had a bad day.</p><p> </p><p> ————-</p><p> </p><p> <strong>To Rainmaker,</strong></p><p> You seem like a good dude with the same goal in mind as me, making Japan feel like it does in real-life. Anyone that brings in Kento to NJPW and puts him is over is a good brother in my book. I can't echo enough that I generally agree that WWE folks need to brought down overall in the mod for Japan pop, and it's on a very long "to-do" list for me going forward.</p><p> Me saying that "I'm out" on the next release is much more a reflection of where I am personally than anything you said or did in the thread, and to be honest was not really directed at you in any way but more-so a commentary on some of the comments in the thread at large. If I made you feel in any way that me opting out of the next release was to due to you, I apologize, as it really wasn't. (This was bound to happen as I'm a self-professed Kawada fan, so the Misawa-Kawada fued continues...)</p><p> </p><p> —————</p><p> </p><p> However, I've seen this road in Fleisch's/TheWho87’s releases previously where there is an expectation/sense of "owing" people perfect data that creeps up in Real World Mods more than any other. The expectation of everything being "right" is way too much for any one person to handle, and besides today, I feel like I have handled it pretty well.</p><p> </p><p> However, when people leave comments like "I'm kind of pissed that" or "sorry to say this" etc... it eats away at you after dumping 400+ hours into a mod that you are just trying to keep going after the great foundation Fleisch has built for this thing. We are all trying to do our best to serve the community at large, no one is trying to sabotage or put out bad data. I was pretty clear that I viewed last Friday's release as a WIP one, but apparently that didn't resonate they way I hoped.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, to anyone I freaked out I apologize. I'm just trying to make this thing great for all. If you'd like to help, get in the boat and row with me.</p><p> </p><p> I'll continue to make edits and hand this back over to the king, Fleisch, and I'm sure he will make the April release a great one.</p>

If you were to run an event with WWE in the data inside of Osaka, it wouldn't draw only 3,500 it'd draw twice that so the popularity is evidently wrong. In the heavily commerical tokyo, it is completely understandable that WWE draw a decent crowd due to the rarity of their hosted shows, especially when advertising Shinsuke Nakamura for the event (and then not having him actually appear lol). The rareness playing a factor is evident when WWE don't even draw anyhere near those numbers in USA standard live events or even for RAW a lot recently.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> It really doesn't though. Pop doesn't scale 1-1 with real life attendance numbers in the game. No one should go into this expecting "real" attendance numbers at shows as the game engine for pop is not scaled that way. </p><p> </p><p> Like Fleisch mentioned, there are certain levels a company needs to be at to maintain a certain size. What's important is where it fits compared to the other companies in the game region in regards to pop. WWE had the biggest shows of any company not named NJPW in Tokyo (on back to back nights) and also the biggest non-NJPW show in Osaka as well for all of 2018.</p><p> </p><p> WWE's pop is the 2nd highest in Japan right now (65 - 5 points higher than DDT/DG) and I'm absolutely open to walking them back to somewhere just at or below those other two. I'm not open to pushing them back much farther than that though as it's going to throw off scaling in other areas.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Rainmaker" data-cite="Rainmaker" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45652" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Also I'm not putting too much stock into the poll. It's literally a reflection of who the Japanese public think of and like the most, aka who is the most popular. Yes, some are sort of joke entries but Jiro and Andreza are still very over, they wouldn't recieve so many votes otherwise. The fact that less than a dozen WWE wrestlers appear on the list and all that do spent significant time in Japan is in my opinion a pretty justified reason for me to say "Why is Roman Reigns at 80 popularity in Japan whilst Sanada is at 53? or why is The Miz more over than Kento Miyahara?".<p> </p><p> I'm not trying to be mean with this btw. It's just the most unbalanced region in the data atm which is a shame because it's the second most important region in wrestling. Everywhere else has it's little problems but is for the most part great and both Fleisch and hitmen have done great jobs. Just Japan is the one that's most blaringly incorrect right now.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Pop is not how many people know this person exists as represented by the game engine.

Again, it would be madness to consider Ikemen as the 6th most over person in Japan if we are just going off the list. Jiro isn't drawing people to K-Hall like someone like Kento does, but ranks 20 spots higher on the fan poll.</p><p> </p><p> You should also look at where people rank on their card (how many Dominion/WK's has Naito main evented compared to those other two? When Naito is headlining does the show do 15% more fans?)</p><p> </p><p> I'm not debating that Naito is a huge draw (Which is why I raised him to be within 1 point of Tana and the same level as Okada this release). I'm pointing out that just because he wins a fan poll and moves merch he shouldn't automatically be WAY higher than Tana/Okada without looking at other factors. He's got top 3 pop in Japan, should prob have great momentum and a great gimmick to reflect how "hot" LIJ is right now.</p><p> </p><p> ---</p><p> </p><p> <strong>I do these releases because:</strong></p><p> <strong>1)</strong> I didn't want Fleisch's awesome mod to ride off in to the sunset after he felt burnt out dealing with many of the issues like above</p><p> <strong>and 2)</strong> I enjoy doing them for the community</p><p> </p><p> Neither of the above are true after the interactions in this thread the last couple of days.</p><p> </p><p> I have no desire to try and rush something out the door for Friday just so people can rip it apart.</p><p> </p><p> I'll happily pass along the additional edits I've made to Fleisch since last Friday, but I likely won't be releasing another update anytime soon.

  16. Again, in the above I am not saying that everything is “right” in the data and you are right on with some of the WWE guys pop. Please be aware there is only so much that can actually get edited each release and I can honestly say I have not touched a WWE guys Japan pop in either of the 2 releases I’ve made. No one is trying to get data wrong, look at things from an “outsider” perspective (that one made me laugh as I’m a giant puro fan myself) or anything of that nature. There is quite frankly too much editable data to handle each release to get things 100% perfect. I think I’ve shown I’m more than happy to edit things where it makes sense or show my logic when I won’t, but some of the responses in this thread are coming off like people expect over 1 million data points just on workers alone (that change each release) to be exactly “correct” at all times which is impossible. Fleisch and I aren’t a AAA game studio. Just two wrestling fans trying to make something enjoyable for the community. Please, if you have suggestions, make them. But don’t expect a data game about a subjective art form to be exactly perfect and be “disappointed, sorry, hilarious or pissed” (actual terms used in last 3 pages of thread) when it’s not.
  17. Let me just start this by saying you're not wrong. Some WWE guys pop is prob too high in Japan as you mentioned. There's also some Japanese guys that could be upped, etc... PAC is a definite oversight and will get raised up in next release. WWE ran Japan 3 times last year and did 7k & 8k at Ryogoku on back-to-back-nights, then like 3.5k in Osaka. The Ryogoku numbers are the 6 & 7th biggest attendance in Japan last year (and bigger than any show outside of NJPW). So, while WWE prob isn't as high as it is currently, it's also not hurting as much as you make it seem in Japan either. But... I think you are putting WAY too much stock into Number magazines top 100 list of wrestlers to rate people's popularity in Japan. Yes, Naito has won the last 2 years (him AND Tanahashi have like an order of magnitude more points than the #3 person in either poll) but that same poll also rates Jiro Kuroshio 6th each year and Andreza Giant Panda 20/22 respectively. It also has both of them over someone like Kento Miyahara which is crazy town. The poll itself also asks "who is the best wrestler" to it's readers, not who is the most popular/well-known. The poll is a measure sure, and of course LIJ is doing great on merch sales, but to suggest that because Naito finished just ahead of Tana both years so he should be so much more over doesn't make sense. This also isn't to suggest that Tana should be miles ahead either. Him, Okada, and Naito go 89, 88, 88 in pop in the current data, so you are essentially choosing your hill to die on about a guy being 1 pop point below the most over guy in Japan. EDIT: Also, this release was the one where I RAISED Naito to be even with the other 2 in pop as I agree that he should be top 3 draw in Japan EDIT 2: As I’ve mentioned many times in this thread, AJPW and Sendai Girls are the two promotions I watch the most

  23. Will take a look, thanks! Noted and will be in for next week Will be added Thanks! Will add relationship for next release Thanks! Glad you are enjoying!
