    EDIT: The Photobucket tag list is my favorite way to browse this great resource for the re-renders you have going here. As most times I am looking for a re-render of a specific worker.</p>

  3. The first of Xopher316's winning requests:

    SOPW Overkill Championship

    http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/jhall2129/TEW%202010/SOPWOverkill.jpg

    That is amazing!

    Sheer Overkill Pro Wrestling

    I believe it was a custom/created fed from ('08?) Can't remember who requested it though. It has a couple of other titles that go with it:

    Me for the win! Was a KoC2 e-fed that never got off the ground and then lived vicariously through TEW. Thanks to you and J Silver (Now thanks to Xopher316 it's like I got a free request. :D) it does so looking sharp. Especially when you compare it to the original TEW logo I had.....

  4. Here you go...

    SOPW World Heavyweight Championship

    http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/jhall2129/TEW%20Title%20Belts/SOPWWorld.jpg

     

    Second one...

    SOPW Jr. Heavyweight Championship

    http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n230/jhall2129/TEW%20Title%20Belts/SOPWJRHeavy.jpg

     

    Those are amazing. Thanks a ton sir. I've been trying to get back into a game for a while. These elicit a lot of drive to do so.

  5. Adding to your burden.

     

    Sheer Overkill Pro Wrestling (SOPW)

    Main Event - World Heavyweight

    Mid-Card - Jr. Heavyweight

    Low - Woman's' World Champion

     

    SOPW Logo by J Silver

    http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/Sartagis/SOPW-Big.jpg

     

    Logo does not have to be used anywhere on it, just the appearance of SOPW somewhere would be enough. Only real want for them is that the Jr. title be noticeably smaller looking then the World title.

  6. Cliffhanger is a throw back to the Westerns of the 50s (most recently) and actually orgininates with serial newspaper stories from the 1800s (Famously David Cooperfield by Charles Dickens was released chapter by chapter in the newspapers of the time.)

     

    The phrase cliffhanger harkens back to the time when each week the cowboy would literally be hanging from a cliff edge and sure to plummet to his doom... before the show ended to make the viewers tune in next week.

     

    Didn't know that one!!

  7. - Cliffhanger- This might be coincidence, but there is a movie with the same name, starring Sylvester Stallone.

     

    - Ground Zero: Where once stood the World Trade Center in the USA

     

    - Dog Days: Various possibilities, including a 2002 TV series, a 2007 film and a 1995 album by Blue Mountain.

     

    These ones stood out as may be stretching it a little.

     

    Cliffhanger I would think is just a name sorta like WWE's Backlash where (at least for the first couple of showings) the matches on the card or angles on it are direct results of previous actions, generally from matches and such from WrestleMania in Backlash's case. Themes for booking PPV's help sell in real life, even if they aren't because of a match type like the Rumble or Survivor Series. Cliffhanger as a PPV name suggest that there will be a cliffhanger, an "omg whats gonna happen next" ending.

     

    Ground Zero does not equal WTC locations, well not exactly. Ground Zero is a term for the place an explosion occurred. Though it also is used for natural disasters, diseases, epidemics or any disaster that has a radial spread. Ground Zero is the center point of the most destruction or initial point of origin of occurrence, which are generally the same place. Ground Zero would have the highest value of damage/viral spread or what have you. So while the location of the devastation at the WTC has a Ground Zero it is not THE Ground Zero. The term was first used in the media describing the area under where the atomic bomb exploded at Hiroshima. The use of it for the article came from the fact that it was slang in the military for the detonation place of the first ever nuclear weapon test at the Trinity testing site where the tower housing the nuclear weapon was at "point zero" on their grid.

     

    Dog Days, I'd say comes from the term Dog Days of Summer, which refers to the high heat period between July and September in the Northern Hemisphere. Also used to describe events or time frames that are dull or with nothing getting done. IE just sitting trying to get cool in those hot months. I actually know more about the etymology of the term Dog Days but I doubt anyone on here really cares. :p So I'll leave it at that.

     

    Sorry I'm a huge history and etymology buff, and of those Japanese culture/history and WW2 are my favorite areas.

     

    Though thats not to say you aren't right, these just seem more plausible to me. They make very sound Event names (even outside of wrestling) just due to the definition of the words themselves. They give a sense of what the show is about. Or in the case of Dog Days the time of year it occurs, hopefully, cause who'd go see a PPV where the title suggests not much is gonna happen/be dull.

  8. Too bad "G-1 Climax Tag Round Robin" and "Real World Tag Round Robin" isn't as catchie. I wonder why they went with League? Ignorance? Engrish? Bad translations on us non japanese fans side? Meh it doens't matter at all (though might be interesting to know) and is sooooo off topic it isn't funny............ok maybe it's slightly funny.

     

    *stops sending thread off topic*

     

    Ah again good work hurricanendp. This has been usefull for me many times already.

  9. Are you sure? I've never heard the term 'round robin' associated with sports, and I've never seen the term 'league' as pertaining to wrestling (asides from Wrespi2 of course).

     

    I only watch proper sports (ie. non-american ones) so what do I know eh? :p

    G-1 League, G-1 Tag League, Most Puro events like that are refered to as leagues. And I've never watched a sport in any country with the format that you are in a bracket (or pools) and face everyone else in your brackett and not heard an announcer refer to it as "round robin play". Like the olympics refer to the opening rounds of the team sports like hockey, baseball, etc as round robin. World Cup refers to it as round robin as well.

     

    From the world baseball classic website.

     

    Q: What is the format of the World Baseball Classic?

    A: The World Baseball Classic will feature 16 teams in a four-round tournament. The 16 teams will be divided into four pools of four teams for Round 1. Round 1 pool play will be held in a round-robin format as all teams within each pool will match up one time (total of six games per pool). The top two teams by record from each of the four Round 1 pools will advance to Round 2. These eight qualifying teams will be split into two pools for Round 2 and will again play one another in a round-robin format of games (total of six games per pool). The top two teams in each pool by record will then advance to the two single-elimination Semi-Final games. The winners of the Semi-Final games will advance to the tournament's single-elimination Final. In total, 39 games will be played.

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-robin_tournament

     

    I don't know if round robin is sport centric I'm sure it's been used in reffference to wrestling and im sure league has been used outside of wrestling. Actually I know for a fact it is I've seen local baseball events listed as league play as opposed to round robin play.

     

    But yeah.......

  10. Round robin and league are the same thing aren't they? You face every other team in your bracket? Round Robin is just more of the sports term and league the wrestling term more so. As in got a bracket or 2 of like 6 wrestlers eachand they face every other wrestler in the bracket......so yeah like the leagues in WS2. Any single elimination rounds after that could be done using this one.
