<p>I know we've butted heads a lot, Fleisch, but I'm very sad to see you go. Thank you so much for 5 years of this. It's a damn shame to see you go, but I'm also not super shocked. Maybe we'll see you back one day. (:</p><p> </p><p> P.S., Can't wait for the final RWC to come out, got a few saves planned and lots of my famous criticism ready to go XD</p>

Well, one thing that could be done for NXT UK is it could be for now put in as a brand split.

<p>So, big news out of Alex Shelley's camp as he says "it might not be a goodbye, it's a see you later". Sooo...on hiatus I assume?</p><p> </p><p> Elias better get a MASSIVE bump to like 60-65 pop (14th on Itunes with a music album as a wrestler???) and a big mic/charisma bump to 70-80/75-85, guy's really, really talented.</p>

After watching some NJPW stuff recently, I think Jay White could use a bump in technical wrestling, as well as about 70-75 star quality. Guy's also getting over in Japan.

Sure you could kill Johnny Wrestlings mic, charisma etc but then people would complain he's a better talker than that etc etc. To be honest I'm not sure when and if he's going to be brought up - he could maybe go to 205 live but I don't see an obvious slot for him outside that. He's one of those guys who just doesn't feel like a big arena guy in his current form - he's like Tye Dillinger great in that NXT arena but not a naturally larger than life character which is what you really need to get over with Vince. <p> </p><p> I think in La Sombra's (Almas) case the Royal Rumble spotlighted who is likely to come up after Mania. He's not really going to be getting too much more out of development in a few months time and I expect him to come up then after dropping the title at the Takeover. He's got a bit more in the way of natural star power and a mouthpiece that adds some more nuance to him. Also the WWE is always looking for a way into markets outside the US and he's just about over enough in Latin America to fit that criteria.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> So set Gargano to "work down there", that could solve that problem.</p>

I also know how good Almas is having watched him for many years in CMLL but the problem with making them too good in game is they will want called up within the first few days. The balance has to be there between real life and the game mechanics, TEW was not really built to mirror the real world wrestling scene - it has it's own Universe - and some things have to be tweaked to fit game mechanics, otherwise you end up with an absolute mess where after 1 month the entire landscape has changed so much, you may as well be playing a fictional mod. I've changed hundreds of stats based on people's feedback, and will continue looking into things as they crop up. What I don't want happening though are people arguing back and forth and trawling through loads of "Yes he should, no he shouldn't" posts. Make your point, I'll look at all responses and decide what I think will work in game best. If someone disagrees with what you have put, just leave it because we're never going to all agree with each other when it comes down to them. At the end of the day, it's me you've got to convince. <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Honestly the way I look at it, I don't mind if they wanna be called up early.

I would agree with a Nakamura pop increase and argue that Strowman could use one to around 75. Also of note: Can Gulak be given more Charisma? Guy's great at entertainment.

So a couple WWE things. I think Elias's popularity should be increased in America by 10-15, maybe even 20. He's being received well by crowds and the WWE is putting him in feuds with John Cena potentially, so obviously, they see him as something. Also, I'd bump his entertainment skills a bit. Mic to maybe 65-70, Charisma to around the same level. Chad Gable's aerial, flashiness, and chain wrestling should go up. Gable has maybe 80-85 in chain wrestling skills, 80 in submission, and does moonsaults, so maybe 30ish in aerial/flashiness? Aiden English should probably have a mild popularity increase as well. He and Rusev are getting over in their alliance. Thank you!

I would make an argument that Will Ospreay (73 Aerial, 82 Flashiness) doesn't have high enough statistics in those two categories. The guy is the best high-flyer in the world and I'd almost argue that his flashiness should be around 95 and aerial around 90.

Do we put Angle as an occasional now?

I also would like to see Rusev get a boost. His mic skills are a solid 65-70, and he's got great comedic ability, as does Aiden English. Their "Rusev Day" shtick is very, very good. Also, Sami Zayn could be argued to have about a 65-70 heel, as his current heel run seems to be drawing the ire of a lot of fans because they say he's annoying.

Not bad, right? 98 percent of 2017 is pretty solid.

In addition, Neville should be turned face with the "Man on a Mission" gimmick; it's very similar to the way they flipped Rollins after HHH attacked him. Jeff Hardy should be out for 4-6 months with a torn rotator cuff.

I have one minor thing, and I could see it being argued, but I think the Young Bucks should get a significant increase in popularity, maybe to around 45-50 in the USA. They're the most popular tag team, arguably, in wrestling today, and they have been making a lot of news lately for the "cease and desist" stuff.

Why not use the NGO pic pack? It's really good.

It's confirmed by Twitter that JBL's replacement on commentary for SmackDown will be Corey Graves (side note: YAS). Nigel McGuinness will be doing 205 live with Vic Joseph (again, YAS). It's unclear who will be doing RAW commentary or if Corey will be doing all the commentary for RAW and SD. Also, could we get a bump for Tom Phillips's announcing? I feel like he's somewhere around 70ish, maybe 75 because he's at least comparable to Michael Cole in skill level. Also, as sad as this is, we should probably lower Jim Ross's announcing to around 80. He's declining

<p>Okay, so I saw a couple things from the WWE side of things.</p><p> </p><p> Dawson is out 3ish months with a torn bicep.</p><p> Bayley is out probably for a few more weeks with a shoulder injury (even if it's kayfabe, definitely should be reflected)</p><p> Cass is out 6-9 months with a torn ACL.</p><p> Joe is out 4-6 weeks with a knee injury.</p><p> Primo's out probably for another 3-6 weeks with his...guess what...knee injury.</p><p> Nikki's probably out for 3ish months, she's on Dancing With the Stars, so they have to tape that or whatever.</p><p> </p><p> Thank you so much for all your work, especially given the injury. Your TEW mod, as well as the 1998 Art of War mod from Mod Squad, is the reason that even after I got burglarized, I immediately got myself a new laptop. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <3</p>
