Currently playing as AEW in the Sep 2021 playthrough and I'm in January 2022. One thing I noticed was that in the span of a month, WWE opted NOT to re-sign AJ Styles, Cesaro or Brock Lesnar who still all have very high popularity. Anyone know what's up here?

Any rules for a 2004 WWE game?

This is definitely gonna give me a challenge, especially the first one</p>

Any rules for a 96 WWF game that I’m about to start? Fresh off the Austin 3:16 promo, HBK is champ and I plan on having him face Vader at Summerslam, like in real life.

Is it possible you have this James Diaz render without the suit and glasses? Having him team with Logan Wolfsbaine and would prefer if he matched him

<p>I've been experimenting with my old NOKORI game and would it be possible if I could get:</p><p> </p><p> The NOKORI Junior Heavyweight Tag Belts, in the base of the regular tag belts but a silver plate and name change on the belts.</p><p> </p><p> The NOKORI Openweight Championship, basically looking like the NEVER Openweight Championship in new japan</p>

@King Bison is there a chance that you'd take a crack at doing Eddie Chandler and Nate Johnson? Seems no one has matching renders of them from what I've seen and it looks weird when everyone in The Syndicate has renders made by you besides those two.

<p>John Cena vs Hiroshi Tanahashi</p><p> </p><p> Kurt Angle vs Daniel Bryan</p>

Bret Hart John Cenai AJ Styles Kazuchika Okada Daniel Bryan

Screw it put me in for Curtis Axel

I have many favorite moments, but one that sticks out to me is when Seth Rollins cashed in the Money in The Bank mid-match at WM 31, because one: that was the first time a thing like that had happened, and two, it was a defining moment in the first WrestleMania I’ve ever attended and a damn good one at that.

BCG World Championship: ©Bunrakuken Torii vs. Tasuka Iesada Comments: No way Torii is dropping the belt here. BCG World Tag Team Championship: ©American Demolition (Big Bruiser Findlay & Bulldozer Brandon Smith) vs Miura & Yoshizawa (Inejiro Yoshizawa & Noritoshi Miura) Comments: Gotta make the gajins look strong. BCG Junior Heavyweight Championship Tournament Final: Frankie Perez vs. Razan Okamoto Comments: Loyal Okamoto means Champion Okamoto. Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix Qualification Match: Naozane Goto vs. Rokuemon Matsushita Comments: I’m not too fond of either of these guys, but Matsushita has way more potential than Goto and is also 10x the wrestler he is as well. Azumamaro Shimizu Seven Match Trial Series - Match #7: Funakoshi vs. Azumamaro Shimizu Comments: I just noticed Funakoshi hasn’t been doing much, gotta get the ace back up there soon! Bonus Question: What outsider(s) will be announced as competitors for the Yoshifusa Meada Grand Prix? (Any name right gets a point, limit of 3 names) Comments: I’m not quite sure yet, I need to return to this before it’s too late because I’m at a blank state right now.

Can’t really find them anywhere also just as the title says, just wondering if there’s any custom event logos and what not for AEW that I can use?

Well, I'm shook. Just an entire year before his death, thought I could've avoided it. EDIT: WTF....

I am super curious as to what’s going on</p>

<p>Hey there. Just me, Stevens with an OOC post. No Heyman/Gabe post for this show and I'll probably phase that out soon and replace it with a "post show diary" from Heyman himself because Gabe plays no legitimate in-game role and is just here with Heyman for cosmetic effects.</p><p> </p><p> Anyways, this was my most fun show I've written so far, partially because I did a full match write-up for the main event instead of giving out the winner before you could fully read my read-up. I'll probably do that from now on so it doesn't take you out the main match being built up. I'm gonna save full write-ups for main events and what not for now because I have school and virtually no time to write-up every single match, plus that's probably boring for the reader.</p><p> </p><p> I like to experiment new ideas and work against what was going on in ROH when it formed (except this is a year early) so this definitely won't be the first time I'll swap out the name and basis of a stable. I'm just thinking transforming it into The Prophecy once Daniels got their full trust as leader makes most sense. And I am quite surprised that no one predicted Hayabusa!</p><p> </p><p> I know he was mentioned as a potential pick for a few people but I thought I made it obvious with FMW and worked ECW once. I honestly forgot about Masato Tanaka but that's cause around this time he left the dying ship of FMW and headed down to Zero1 where he could become their defacto ace to a bigger crowd.</p><p> </p><p> Also, after simming like a week after the show, Heartland Wrestling Association, IWA Mid South, and Jersey All Pro Wrestling all declared hostile on me. No idea why but I guess the threat of being in Tri State scares them since I've been winning regional battle after regional battle. HWA is so out of left field because I have literally no relation with them! Maybe my head-canon is Vince tells his developmental to make sure you have no relation with Paul's new carny company or what ever.</p><p> </p><p> Anyways, let me stop wasting your time and get to what I'm sure you've all been waiting for. The prediction percentage results from Road To The Title and Crowning a Champion.</p><p> </p><p> --</p><p> </p><p> <strong>James The Animator 17 - 94%</strong></p><p> Kijar 14 - 77%</p><p> DGenerationMC 14 - 77%</p><p> Bigelow Cartwheel 10 - 55%</p><p> franticloser 6 - 33%</p><p> </p><p> Somehow James The Animator wins again! And with this win he's now eligible to choose Rob Van Dam's first challenger for the ROH World Title. A little note is that franticloser probably would have won since he guessed everything right for this month's show but since I counted Road to The Title too, he finds himself at the far end.</p><p> </p><p> Nonetheless congrats to James The Animator who just seems to not lose! I'll PM you on who you want RVD to face very soon.</p>

As already said before, this is not a normal fatal four way. Instead it is a thirty minute fatal four way iron man match. A match type never seen before.</p><p> </p><p> The bell rings and it's a feeling out process for all four men. All four are similar with each other one way or another. CM Punk beelines straight for Rhyno, the biggest threat in this match. Punk gets a few punches and strikes in before Rhyno begins to over power him. Punk gets up like it's nothing and dropkicks Rhyno over the top rope. Punk rolls out and continues to brawl with Rhyno outside the ring.</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa and Rob Van Dam turn to the action outside the ring to each other. The first time these two faced off was in 1998 in a tag team match, but tonight they have a chance to go one on one again. Both men circle the ring, staring at each other. Hayabusa is the first one to make an attack, kicking Van Dam in the gut. Hayabusa grabs Van Dam by his arm and throws him into the ropes.</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa goes for a dropkick but Van Dam catches Hayabusa's feet and lets him drop on his back. Van Dam waits for Hayabusa and hits him with a spinning back kick to the gut. Van Dam hits the ropes and Hayabusa cartwheels past Van Dam. A bewildered Van Dam turns around to Hayabusa who connects a beautiful executed Hurricanrana.</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa waits for Van Dam and dropkicks him into the corner. Hayabusa rolls to his feet and nails Van Dam with a running elbow. Hayabusa throws Van Dam out the corner and leaps up only to be dropped down with a kick to the legs. Van Dam sees Hayabusa stuck in a Tree of Woe position and sees his chance for the first fall.</p><p> </p><p> Van Dam steps out and climbs the top rope and looks out to see CM Punk down on the ground but has no idea where Rhyno is. And that's until Rhyno rolls in and hits Hayabusa who's still stuck with a GORE! Rhyno pulls Hayabusa off the corner and pins him, One! Two! Three! Van Dam is late to break what could've been his pin!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Fall:</strong> Rhyno [1] pins Hayabusa with a Gore from Tree of Woe Position (7:23)</p><p> </p><p> Van Dam leaps off the top rope to Rhyno and would've been caught with a Gore if he didn't see it coming. Van Dam hops over Rhyno and rolls to his feet. Van Dam hits Rhyno with a rolling savate kick that sends him stumbling then continues with a massive amount of strikes. Van Dam kicks Rhyno and stomps him to a seated position in the corner. Van Dam runs back to the corner and is intercepted with a roundhouse kick from CM Punk.</p><p> </p><p> Punk yells at Van Dam saying this is his fight and turns to Rhyno who clotheslines him down. Rhyno picks up Punk and throws him to the corner. Rhyno repeatedly shoulder rams Punk then pulls him out. Rhyno puts Punk on his shoulder but Punk gets off. Punk shoves Rhyno into the ropes and nails him with a Roundhouse kick to the side of the head. Punk sees Rhyno staggering and ducks under him and grabs his arm.</p><p> </p><p> Punk drops Rhyno with a neckbreaker and then ascends to the top rope. Punk climbs up slowly and looks around, calling for the fans. Suddenly, Hayabusa who's on the apron leaps up and clubs the back of Punk's head. Hayabusa clubs Punk's head and drops onto the apron. Hayabusa grabs onto the rope to springboard up and enzuigiri kick the back of Punk's head, sending him straight down on his back. Hayabusa looks down and turns around, nodding slowly. Phoenix Splash on Punk! Hayabusa covers him, One! Two! Three!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Fall:</strong> Hayabusa [1] pins CM Punk with a top rope Phoenix Splash (12:54)</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa gets to a kneel, nodding from the fall. He's immediately clubbed from behind by Rhyno. Rhyno picks up Hayabusa and throws him to the ropes. Rhyno scoops Hayabusa up for a powerslam, but Rob Van Dam pulls Hayabusa off by his leg. Van Dam pats Hayabusa on the shoulder and he gets the signal. Both men gang up on Rhyno, overwhelming him with strikes.</p><p> </p><p> Rhyno shoves both men off and knocks them down with a double clothesline. Rhyno grabs Hayabusa by his mask and a handful of Van Dam's hair. He lifts both men up and scoops them onto his shoulder for a double powerslam! Rhyno slaps the mat and gets to his feet.

Rob Van Dam high kicks Rhyno into Hayabusa who catches him by the waist. Van Dam hits Rhyno with a leaping savate kick and gives Hayabusa the needed momentum to hit Rhyno with a german suplex! Rhyno gets to his feet immediately after, but now dazed and stunned. Hayabusa side kicks the gut of Rhyno to bend him over and then sunset flips Rhyno into the turnbuckle.</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa holds onto his legs, allowing for RVD to come in and dropkick Rhyno further into the turnbuckle. Rhyno falls over and Hayabusa calls for Van Dam. Hayabusa climbs up the top rope and Van Dam climbs up with him. Van Dam does the "RVD" taunt, signalling he's going for a dive first. Five Star Frog Sp- Rhyno moves out the way! Van Dam holds his gut, and unknowingly rolls closer to Hayabusa who hits Van Dam with a Phoenix Splash, who he thought was Rhyno!</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa isn't quite shocked though and is moreso eager to take the pin anyways, but Rhyno pulls him out the ring and chokeslams him through the announce table that Cyrus and Joey Styles were at! Rhyno rolls in and grabs Van Dam by his head, Piledriver! Rhyno covers Van Dam. One! Two! Three</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Fall:</strong> Rhyno [2] pins Van Dam with a Piledriver (18:27)</p><p> </p><p> This isn't good for anyone, Rhyno has two falls already and the time is more than halfway ticking up. Rhyno looks around at the wreckage he's created, and turns to CM Punk struggling to get up. Rhyno backs into the corner, grabbing onto the ropes. Rhyno calls for Punk to get up.</p><p> </p><p> Punk is up and it seems he was playing possum! Punk catches Rhyno with a small package! One! Two! Rhyno kicks out! Punk gets to his feet and repeatedly forearms Rhyno. Punk is able to block a punch attempt from Rhyno and kick him in the gut. Punk is a bit too eager as he tries to lift Rhyno up and is reversed with a back body drop.</p><p> </p><p> Rhyno gets to his feet, holding his head. Rhyno grabs Punk and tucks his head in his thighs. Rhyno picks up Punk and drops him with a powerbomb. Punk holds his back and rolls around in clear pain. Rhyno nods and turns around to Rob Van Dam springing up for a springboard leaping knee!</p><p> </p><p> Rhyno is dropped to a kneel, and Van Dam thrust kicks him onto his back. Van Dam falls into the ropes, exhausted. Van Dam drags Rhyno and then leaps up the top rope, hitting a Split-legged moonsault that he calls the Hollywood Star Pres. Van Dam covers Rhyno right after. One! Two! Hayabusa breaks it up. Hayabusa grabs Van Dam and throws him out to the apron. Hayabusa sees Rhyno struggling to get up and rushes up the ropes. Hayabusa springs off the middle rope to the top rope to hit a Springboard Moonsault!</p><p> </p><p> Before Hayabusa can pin though, Rhyno rolls out.

RVD grabs Hayabusa by his arms and legs and drags him. Van Dam nods and leaps up the ropes, Hollywood Star Press! Van Dam covers Hayabusa. One! Two! Three!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Fall:</strong> Rob Van Dam [1] pins Hayabusa with a Hollywood Star Press (23:08)</p><p> </p><p> Van Dam looks up, realizing that time is starting to tick faster than he'd like. Van Dam goes to pin Hayabusa again, but he gets his foot on the rope by two. Van Dam grabs Hayabusa by his mask and shoves him to the corner. Van Dam backs up but is turned around by CM Punk. CM Punk knees Van Dam in the gut then irish whips him. Punk nails RVD with a clothesline and pulls him up once more. Punk lifts RVD on his shoulders and dumps him out the ring with a fireman's carry toss of sorts. </p><p> </p><p> Punk walks over to Hayabusa and boots him in the gut.

RVD rolls on the apron, noting this. Hayabusa grabs Punk by his head and knees him hard in the jaw and he's stunned! Hayabusa pulls Punk up fully the top rope and Punk is nearly out. Hayabusa switches positions with Punk on the top rope and leaps off for a TOP ROPE FALCON ARROW!</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa is exhausted however but he needs to go for the pin! But it's RVD who takes advantage and ascends to the top rope. FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH ON CM PUNK! Van Dam covers Punk! One! Two! Three!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Fall:</strong> Rob Van Dam [2] pins CM Punk with a Five Star Frog Splash (27:55)</p><p> </p><p> After that pin, RVD wastes no time to celebrate because there's only three minutes left! Hayabusa is aware of this and stumbles up to his feet, grabbing RVD by his head before he can fully get up. Hayabusa tries to capitalize with another Falcon Arrow but RVD slips off! RVD slaps Hayabusa into the ropes and then nails him with a spin kick to the gut. RVD hits the corner and goes for a boot but Hayabusa ducks under and catches RVD with a flatliner.</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa lays there, drained. Simply Luscious digs under the ring and then slides in a chair to Hayabusa! Hayabusa grabs the chair and uses it to stand up, and Simply Luscious hops up the apron to bicker with the referee, distracting him. Hayabusa gets to his feet, licking the metal of the chair, satisfied with what this will take him since he is now a loyal warrior.</p><p> </p><p> Hayabusa waits for RVD and lets out a battle cry and goes for a chair shot but is caught with the Van Daminator! Van Dam looks down at Hayabusa and Simply Luscious is yelling for the ref to turn around but he's telling her to get down. Van Dam puts the chair on Hayabusa's chest and rolls out to climb the top rope. Van Dam looked up to the time and there was only fifteen seconds left. Van Dam nodded his head and called for the fans to chant along with him. "ROB! VAN! DAM!" FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! Van Dam rolled around in pain, holding his stomach. Van Dam grabbed the chair and shoved it out the ring and called for the ref and proceeded to pin Hayabusa. "ONE!" "TWO!" "THREE!"</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Fall:</strong> Rob Van Dam [3] pins Hayabusa with a Five Star Frog Splash (29:59)</p><p> </p><p> THAT'S IT! THE MATCH IS OVER! Van Dam laid there with the fans fully cheering for him. Van Dam got to a kneel, looking around to the ring. Rhyno was still down outside the ring, Punk was out cold still, and Hayabusa was also out.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner and NEW ROH World Champion:</strong> Rob Van Dam [3 Falls] <strong><span style="color:#FFFF00;">71 C+</span></strong></p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46891" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="DQPWZdv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DQPWZdv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> </p><p> Rob Van Dam rises to his feet and stands in the center of the ring.

Anderson and Simon Diamond to continue the beatdown for him. Daniels walks over to Hayabusa and helps him up. Daniels points Hayabusa over to Van Dam and he nods, walking over to him and helps putting the boots to Van Dam.</p><p> </p><p> Daniels grabs a microphone and shoves Paul Heyman down. Luscious rolls in with a steel folding chair and unfolds it so Daniels can sit down and rest his "injury". Daniels oversees the attack on Van Dam while twirling the microphone in his hand.</p><p> </p><p> "It's funny RVD. It really is. Congratulations on becoming the FIRST ROH World Champion, but you won't get to enjoy that title for long. I have a whole group of men right here, that want your title. And if Paul Heyman dare deny me a shot at that belt, that's fine.. I have people waiting for shot's that you've never seen here before."</p><p> </p><p> "But I've been thinking.. Dear dear Simply Luscious, I respect your integrity, your push, but we're more than just a Dynasty. We're a church, a religion that will cleanse your soul of your sins. I've cleansed Simon's soul, I've cleansed C.W.'s soul, and now I've cleansed Hayabusa's soul."</p><p> </p><p> "We speak to the truth. We speak to the prophecy. We are The Prophecy. And Van Dam, if you have a problem with that... Boys, bring him to me." Daniels nods as Anderson and Diamond drag Van Dam by his arms while Hayabusa forces Van Dam to face and look up to Daniels. Daniels gets out of the chair. "All you gotta do is stand up, and face me like a man.." Daniels grabs the chair and folds it, with a smirk on his face. "But I don't think you'll be able to stand for awhile.." Daniels raises the chair up, until something familiar plays..</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> ...</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> ....</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> ....</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> ....</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Vgmkize.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Vgmkize.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> IT'S THE FRANCHISE! SHANE DOUGLAS! Douglas runs down with a chair of his own and he cracks Diamond over the head with a chair shot! Douglas slams the chair into the gut of Anderson, and then hits Hayabusa in the face as well! Daniels has a chair but he instantly flees the ring due to his injury and calls for Luscious to get out as well.</p><p> </p><p> Shane Douglas drops the chair and looks around. Hell may have just frozen over because the fans are cheering and chanting for The Franchise! Shane Douglas walks over to RVD, and picks up the ROH World Championship. His eyes aren't on the belt, but Van Dam. He holds his hand out to RVD and helps him up, then hands him the belt.</p><p> </p><p> RVD is just as confused as all of us. And asks Douglas why he helped him, and all Douglas says is "Redemption." Douglas walks past Van Dam with the chair still and watches the Simply Luscious Dynasty now renamed The Prophecy flee through the crowd. Van Dam raises the belt up, but braces for an attack, except it never happens. Douglas walks past Van Dam, patting him on the back and tells him to enjoy his moment, and then rolls out, leaving Van Dam confused and skeptical. Van Dam eventually shrugs his shoulders and finally gets to celebrate his victory as ROH World Champ with no interuptions.</p><p> </p><p> <span style="color:#FFA500;">55 C-</span></p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>

Something that we haven't really been focusing on.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Gabe:</strong> "If we want to go anywhere far with this; we need a world championship." He had pitched this in earlier and it had me thinking.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Paul:</strong> "Yeah.. We really do. I don't think a simple tournament would suffice though. We need something to keep interest in from our sudden cult following."</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Gabe:</strong> "Well, I did have this idea I had been thinking of. The usual sixteen man tournament right, but instead of finishing the whole tournament out, the last four people remaining go on to a fatal four way.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Paul:</strong> "Huh, a fatal four way sounds good.."</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Gabe:</strong> "Wait. I'm not finish. A fatal four way, yeah, but a quite 'innovative' match you could say. How about a fatal four way iron man match?"</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Paul:</strong> "Well, I know just exactly the guys that could work that match. Let's get to working Gabe. I'm really excited for this show."</p><p> </p><p> <em>Deep breath.</em> Here we go, a few more ways and hopefully we'll get a broadcasting deal. I'm excited.</p></div><p></p><p></p>
