  1. Thank you for doing this mod it allowed me to do a proper TEW PGHW title history that wouldn't of been possible without it. I hate how TEW has the title histories for various reasons and without this mod I wouldn't of been able to get enough names for the title histories because the PGHW alumni list isn't large enough. I don't keep the same title length, I have my own formula for that, and I don't keep title holders who were never with PGHW in the default Cornellverse, but I can replace those guys with guys in the roster in this mod who were also with PGHW in the default Cornellverse database. So thank you for doing this HUGE help.
  2. I remember hearing about a new search feature but it didn't seem different to me, I must be missing something with it. Can you search for alter egos with it now?
  3. <p>I found some old alts but the name of the wrestler for the alt no longer exists in the game and I was wondering if anyone knew the new names of these wrestlers:</p><p> </p><p> These fighters might be from mods other then Cornellverse as currently I am only familiar with the default Cornellverse.</p><p> </p><p> Arthur T Turtle</p><p> Dominatrix</p><p> El Rey</p><p> Fawn</p><p> Harley Quinn</p><p> Herman The German</p><p> Jay Darkness</p><p> Kirk The Turk</p><p> Magdalena</p><p> Matt Townsend</p><p> Mega Mite</p><p> Midnight</p><p> Mimetop</p><p> Mr.Evilness</p><p> Stuart Storm</p><p> Tai</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Thanks!</p>
  4. I can't find Swarm I, Swarm II, and Swarm III in TEW 2016 does anyone know their new names?
  5. I wanted to sim the years of MMA but when ever I do the rankings in the game end up all messed up and they shouldn't be what they are, and it's not even close. Is there any way to fix this?

  7. Does anyone have the TEW08 California Love Machine alt?

It took about three years for them to progress past losing every match and that was when they returned from their excursions. Fale won the Intercontinental Title after four years. Tanahashi took about four years to win mid level titles and by seven years he was main event level. Probably earlier, he was really ME when he won the U-30 title or at least very close to it. The young lion period is not as long as it used to be. </span><p><span style="color:#4B0082;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#4B0082;"> I wonder how long most games last.</span></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Ok thanks!</p>
  9. So the young lion cycle lasts roughly on average 8 years, and if the guy is really good after 5/6 years it is accepted that they can win a mid card title but not the world title until after around 8 years?
  10. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Fantabulous" data-cite="Fantabulous" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="30254" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><strong>A Rough Guide to the ‘Young Lions’ system in Japanese wrestling</strong><p> </p><p> If you’ve played TEW then you’ll have seen the term Young Lion used and this rough guide is intended to explain how that works in Japan which is pretty much the blueprint for how it usually works everywhere else.</p><p> </p><p> When a young Japanese wrestler first debuts for a promotion he’s referred to as a ‘young boy’ because he is just starting out in wrestling. For the first year or so of his career, he’ll usually be put in tag matches where his role is to ‘get the heat’; it’s his job to set up the hot tag for the veteran partner. If he’s lucky, the Young Boy will get a few moves in so he doesn’t look like a total nothing but his role is strictly to get beaten up to build to the tag. If his team is losing, then the Boy gets pinned and if the team is winning then the veteran gets the pinfall. This does not change. Period. In singles matches, the Young Boy gets strictly token offence, if that. His role is to get beaten up and come back for more until he loses. </p><p> </p><p> This stage of the Young Boy’s career is all about ‘showing fire’. It’s about the Boy taking a beating, not giving up, and coming back for more until he finally loses. Because he is at the beginning of his career, the Young Boy wears basic attire; tights, boots and kneepads. And it’s usually black or, if not, some other simple colour. This reflects the stage at which the Young Boy is at; he’s in a position where has only ‘earned’ the most basic of attire.</p><p> </p><p> After about a year of this, the promotion will usually send the wrestler overseas for an ‘excursion’, typically for up to a year, where he’ll gain experience working in other promotions. This is intended for the wrestler to improve as worker and for the fans to see him working his way up the ladder in his career, albeit not necessarily in the promotion.</p><p> </p><p> Once the excursion is over, the wrestler returns to Japan. His attire will have ‘matured’ and he might be wearing something with a little more colour, his physique will have improved, and he’ll be seen to have grown. At this stage in his career, the wrestler will still lose to veterans but it won’t be so easy this time. He’ll get in more offence than before, get to shine more than before, and the portrayal is that the young wrestler has grown in his time away but he still isn’t at the stage where he can beat the veterans. </p><p> </p><p> It’s at this point where the wrestler might get his first taste of championship experience and be put in matches for whatever Midcard titles the promotion has. If it’s in tag matches then, like before, his role will be to get the heat for the veteran partner. However, he’ll get more offence than before and will be seen to ‘belong’ at that level. As before, if his team is losing then the younger wrestler will be the one who gets pinned. However, if his team is winning, and he’s considered good enough or ‘matured’ enough, then the young wrestler might even be the one who gets the fall on the junior member of the opposing team; as always, it’s the junior partner of a team who usually gets pinned. In singles matches, because it is at the Midcard level, the wrestler will be more of an equal in the match and while it will be clear his opponent is the better man, the young wrestler will come out of the match looking like he really belongs at that level.</p><p> </p><p> The wrestler is typically closing in on eight years before he gets to move up the card a little more. You’ll probably start to see him in six-man main events where he’ll usually drop the fall or if the promotion wants to start people getting behind him, he might get to pin the junior member of the opposing team. It’s also at this stage where might start vying for the company’s main tag titles which is typically done to get the fans into accepting them at that level before they can move on to the company’s top singles title. The wrestler will be teamed with a current top wrestler where the usual pattern continues; the junior wrestler of the team drops the fall and senior member scores them. </p><p> </p><p> This pattern gets broken when it is felt the wrestler is good enough to be a top singles wrestler, and if a junior member of one team beats the veteran member of the opposing team it’s a big deal. Top stars in Japan are protected and rarely do jobs so that when they do, it is big news and it means something. When this happens you can take it to mean the wrestler in question is being put in line for move to the top level; whether he can stay there is reliant on how good he is, because Japanese fans rarely accept sub-par talent at the top of the card. </p><p> </p><p> So, the wrestler has made all the way to a shot at the company’s main title. And loses. </p><p> </p><p> Because he is still growing, and while his positioning has made it clear that he can make it to the top, he has to be seen to ‘grow’ to the level where, if the promotion feels he is right for the spot, it will be accepted for him to become the ‘Ace’ of the company. A native wrestler in Japan rarely wins a major singles title on his first try for the same reason a rookie never beats a veteran; he has to be seen to have earned his spot, by growing in stature and growing in talent. It’s a similar deal as when the WWF fans turned on The Rock when he beat Triple for the IC Title in early 1997; he hadn’t earned the spot he was put in. For a Japanese example, when New Japan decided to get behind Shinsuke Nakamura in his rookie year and have him beat Hiroyoshi Tenzan for the IWGP title, a lot of fans did not accept Nakamura because he was still a rookie and didn’t feel he had earned the spot he was put in. </p><p> </p><p> Once he has had that first title match, however, the wrestler has usually ‘made his bones’ as a main event star. He’ll still do jobs to main event stars, because he isn’t a ‘top’ star, but the wrestler is now at the stage where he gets the Young Boy tag partner to set up the hot tag and will be the one who faces the Young Boys in singles matches to beat them up and let them show ‘fire’.</p><p> </p><p> This guide is general, and sometimes a promotion will do things differently for whatever reason (case in point, Shinsuke Nakamura), however what’s been outlined here is the usual pattern for rookie wrestlers in Japan. In short, they have to earn their spot on the card and show they have the talent to be at their current level because only then will fans accept them naturally progressing up the card.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> Does this apply to foreign workers or only Japanese workers?</p><p> </p><p> And also great read!

  12. I just started getting into puro wrestling and I have been watching a lot of New Japan and reading about it so I think I understand the basics and how the touring schedules work but I'm not certain of much other than the basics for example a company like PGHW not having a woman's division. Are there any other things that I should know about puro wrestling?

Adding a joshi puroresu division is mostly related to how authentic you want to be. A serious big name company would never do it. On the other hand, the indy sleaze scene will cheerfully mix things up, even to the point of having matches with men against women. Most notably Kenny Omega's match against an 8 year old girl.</span><p><span style="color:#4B0082;"> </span></p><p><span style="color:#4B0082;"> BHOTWG is suposed to be more American, I wonder if they'd go that far. PGHW just strikes me as the ultimate 'Puroresu is serious business' promotion.</span></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I find that weird who cares if a company has both? </p><p> </p><p> I agree with you that PGHW seems like a serious puro company, and you think it would be unrealistic for them to have a woman's division? If that is the case then I won't have one. I want my sim to be realistic.</p>

Think of it as TV leading into a PPV. You don't give away the money matches for free and any sort of singles match should have a purpose for both wrestlers involved. Use multi-man and tag matches on the smaller shows to build for the big event. The main rivals shouldn't face each other in singles more than once or twice a year if at all possible.</p><p> </p><p> Hope that helps some.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> This was very helpful thank you.</p>
  15. Mr.Self you have some real talent. They almost look like real people. I'm gonna be replacing some cornellverse pictures I don't like with these!
  16. No Lesnar You must push a lower midcarder or opener to the main event who is already on your roster in the beginning of the game. I'm looking for some storyline ideas for PGHW. I'm OCD like about having some storylines planned out before I start a game. I like creating storylines for puroresu companies based off of real life sports storylines. For example the Golden State Warriors this year beating the Bull's record but maybe not pulling the title off or the Cinncinati Bengal's wildcard playoff blowup this year. Also I don't understand how a traditional Japanese "3 day event" schedule is supposed to work. I understand that the first 2 events are supposed to be small and build up to the third "super event" and I understand that there are a lot of multi-man matches to help with stamina issues, but are these events supposed to be in a row? If wrestlers are fueding with each other and have a big time match on the third "super event" doesn't that match mean less if those wrestlers envolved are losing events on the first 2 smaller events that happen just recently? Is it frowned upon to have title changes or big matches on the first 2 smaller events? How many multi-man matches should be on the first 2 shows? And finally how long should the first 2 smaller shows be along with the final larger show, and how many people should they hold for PGHW at the start of TEW2016? Thanks for the help!!!
  17. What is a Joshi company? Is that an all womens company? I still don't have the game yet but I will in about a week and I remember in TEW13 the top tier women from 5SSW gain crazy popularity and have great matches. I don't mind that the good female workers are from 5SSW. Honestly I think that helps. In TEW13 it seemed to me that 5SSW gave the women a lot of popularity gains.
  18. <p>I don't know if this would be considered booking but oh well....</p><p> </p><p> I'm looking for 1 more ppv idea and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas. Here are what I have now:</p><p> </p><p> This is for PGHW</p><p> </p><p> GLORY: Singles</p><p> For the GLORY: Singles tournament</p><p> </p><p> GLORY: Tag</p><p> For the GLORY: Tag tournament</p><p> </p><p> Super Saturday *year*</p><p> Wrestlemania show</p><p> </p><p> Vendetta</p><p> Go against BHOTWG biggest show and try to produce a better show</p><p> </p><p> Fight for the Right</p><p> Tournament that determines who will face world champion at Super Saturday *year*</p><p> </p><p> King of Hardcore</p><p> All hardcore matches tournament </p><p> </p><p> Proving Ground</p><p> Show after Super Friday *year* where talent prove the next year will be their year to shine.</p>
  19. I haven't bought the game yet so I'm not familiar with the effect of star quality on wrestlers so I need some advice with something. I was planning to become the booker of PGHW and create a womans division with a singles and tag title. But seeing thst PGHW has a lot of male wrestlers with high star quality, and for the most part the women in the Cornellverse have fairly low star quality would it make sense for me to add a womans division with a singles and tag title?
