ROH with a september 21 start?
Keep your friends close... - NJPW and NWA are your only North American allies in the game, everyone else is the competition now, even the Tony's Khanate. Do not initiate working agreements or alliances. Become hostile with the ones who have stabbed you in the back - AEW (Elite using ROH resources and then launching new promotion), CMLL (Mexican deals), Impact (for past), MLW (rush saga) are all hostile promotions now. Japan/Britain deals not included.
Odd-Even - For every WWE/AEW release you hire, you need to cross off another release with similar pop (variance of 5-10 is okay.)
We are young... - No champions over 35, no new hirings over age of 35.
4 Pillars - Choose 4 wrestlers, make them your new pillars. Every PPV/TV should have at least one of them in Main event, untill one of them is stolen/fired. Then choose someone else to replace them. Every 6 months, you can change one out of 4.
'World' champion - foreign TV deals pay, and our championships have word 'world' in it. Hire wrestlers from 6 different nations at the start of the game. They should not be from traditional wrestling countries - (America, Mexico, Canada, Japan, and England) rest of the UK is fair game IMO.
These 6 are excluded from odd-even rule. 2 of them must become some kind of champion in one year.

So, I was going through the memory card of my old phone before throwing it away and found these in there.
There are these Diary PDFs's - I don't know if these were lost in purge or not, or during Photobucket death, but I think these would be nostalgic for a few members and would be something for the newer ones. Wish I had a few others backed up somewhere else too.

I had 'SWF this means war' in there too, but that file is corrupted and won't open.

I was thinking of starting an AEW save from scratch with this mod and while it is 5+ years early, it's seemingly not possible to tempt TNT or Chris Jericho (if he wasn't under contract) to join at the start, IDK what the solution to this would be other than if you don't want to majorly rework broadcasters, you could give AEW TNT and any other broadcasters they have/had right from the start with a long term contract with the idea being by the time it runs out you will be large enough size to re-negotiate, is this something I would have to manually add as I can imagine you may not be able to have broadcasting deals for a company and subsequently a show that is yet to debut, if so I would love any tips for what to edit manually to make this possible and as accurate to real life with the exception of it being 5+ years early, and you could add an "If you intend to book AEW" to the original post for anyone else with the same idea.
Editing the database manually should be easy.
Just open AEW in companies. If AEW is not there in future promotions, import it from RWC. It will have a start date, 2018 or 2019 or something, change that, so it is in one month before this database starts. Then create Dynamite in TV shows/events and just manually give them contract with TNT. Then delete the WWE/NXT contract of guys you want from WWE. On the company page, add TK and rest of the guys like Jericho, which you want on your start to AEW and give them a written contract of the length you want.
Start the game and go from there, as you can balance the data in editor as you get the feel of promotion.

Mighty Mo, he has so much potential as SE white meat babyface in the world of wrestling machines.
Running Wolf - he is ready to become Main Eventer, and he is finally free of being Nicky's protégé/best friend role but can he? With Rich Money and other Cult type figures being present in USPW, even as a heel, he is great.
Magnum Kobe, it feels shitty he has abandoned WLW, but it was fun pushing him to being ace in PGHW. Edit - Him and Kozue having Nakamura/Okada style wars is what I imagined while booking him.
Velocidad and El Heroe Mexicano - Both are great babyfaces, already established in SOTBPW, can bring ratings. El Heroe is basically the new gen El Patron (El Santo/Blue Demon C-verse alternative) ready to be made into a star.
Jack DeColt - I haven't yet dabbled with CWA, but Jack with his Angry DeColt character is a lot of fun to play with, especially in CGC if you are playing with old mods.

J-Ro
Alicia Strong
Victoria Stone
Fuyuko Higa
Wanda Fish/Belle Bryden
I haven't booked women's wrestlers/Luchadoras in Mexico so no idea about them.
-
Is there anyway to import attributes? I would like to add attributes to older converted CV mods.
-
Just caught up to the latest show, and it's good stuff.
USPW is one of my favourite promotions in CV due to the good Vs bad old-school product and I agree with others, it's time USPW gets a bit of the edge now that they are on streaming service. (and nerf to the menace
) -
Excited to see a WLW here. I don't like the 2020 iteration of WLW at all, most of the fun lore has been lost, and even the reason for their regression is dodgy.
Hope you can rebuild them to their former glory.
-
I book from PPV to PPV mostly, and it's easy - Two things are fixed for me - who is going over and who we are trying to push/build for next thing.
I have 5 stories with my Main cast - All the titleholders and current challengers + their next challengers + rest of the Main event guys. Furthermore, I also have 2-3 stories which revolve around a stable or a lower card guys I am trying to push. This will be going on in background. Angle and matches fill themselves up for TV due to the stories. I get 10-15 mins left on 2 hr shows, this is where I slot in guys to see if they are good enough for TV time in the future.
About stories for TV - I need a month or 3-4 shows to establish gimmicks for me. After that, wrestlers write angles and stories for themselves.
For example, Trent Shaffer will always try to flirt with Babyface' valet (Not with Dawn Gemmel though, I mean who even dates law-keeper Rick Law?), he will come to the ring after a babyface has already lost and just berate him - not beatdown, just laugh at the incompetence on display. He will screw with a monster heel(s) and will blame it on the babyfaces or guy he is feuding with. (Screw with cold warriors' locker room, of course, it was on 'All American' Nicky Champion who else!). If this plan succeeds, well Trent has new allies against Nicky, if it fails, Trent will need some backup against cold warriors themselves.
This way, after the first month, most of my main wrestlers get history, alliances, gimmicks, goals and this way the angles/matches write for themselves. The only time I need to actually do work is when I am actively trying to push someone from unknown, as he has no connections or history and I still don't know how momentum works in 2020.

<p>CK2 was built for GoT. Every system in GoT fits the game perfectly, not to mention the AGOT mod is really fantastic. One the best saves I have ever had was getting Baelish dynasty to the throne by schemes and marriages.</p><p> </p><p>
Game is one of the biggest timesinks though, hours pass like minutes.</p>

How do you guys handle when one tag member retires, but the other one remains? Do you book the one who is left as a strong singles star? As someone struggling to find his way? Or do you let them both go - in as a package deal, out as a package deal? I have an idea where they will put another team over, and have an idea for how to write him out, but struggling with how to handle his partner.
I have tried few of the options other than the ones you have mentioned -
Let the guy become singles gatekeeper while keeping his team gimmick. I have tried this in one of my Puro Saves - Natsu Miyamae retired, so his partner Shimizu became the Dolph Ziggler of my Puro company - feuding with recently graduated young lions or new foreign guys. Shimizu was an older guy too, but somehow wasn't on decline, so he settled into the NJPW dad style vet role.
The second version of the tag team with same gimmick - In one of my older NWA save (Montreal aftermath) I somehow got hands on both Steiners - later on Rick retired - so I remember bringing in one of the musclehead indy guys (I don't remember the name sorry!) to tag with Scott with New tag team name - Frankensteiners. Scott settled into my UM, and the other guy got over enough to become a midcarder.
Another option is to let him become a member of a stable if you don't want him/her in a prominent role. In SE companies, I always have a cult like stable or one of the 'cowardly heel hiding behind his lackeys' stable to give undercarders something to do and midcard faces someone to beat. You can add him to a stable like that.
The rest of your options are great too.
-
<p>I use secondary belts to primarily get midcarders to upper-midcard position (well known to star). When you think he or she is ready to carry TV main events, the person drops the title to the next guy while made to look strong, and he is free to mingle with stars of the show (Major stars/stars). </p><p> </p><p>
If the roster is not big enough for usual titles, I try to have a TV title in non-touring promotions. A bright young prospect who has just become recognizable has it, mostly, fighting other lower carders. You perform well enough, you get a proper feud and a real push.</p>

One month into my DMC Season 1 save:
As someone who likes playing puro companies, I want to ask how do you even book this many stables? How do you keep track of what is happening?

I was a long time lurker before signing up for the forums. Traffic has decreased, surely. Many of the older posters have grown out of the site or straight away migrated to other places. While it's normal to have people grow out of hobbies and new people join in, it's just that wrestling isn't growing much and relying on its existent fan base, which is shrinking every day. Now, when you consider wrestling is a niche hobby and TEW is an even more niche game, it's understandable that the user base is shrinking.
Also, I don't know what happened, but forums aren't accessible to outsiders now. I was searching WWE/ROH results and stumbled upon one of the diaries (Michgs or TheLloyd or TFC not sure) here, hence got introduced to the game. I thought this was one of those creepy role-playing forums, read a bit more, found that it was a game.
Now, forums aren't that easily accessible nowadays. Even searching specific thread titles won't show any links to thread or images. (which let me just say were working fine till 2018/19)Nowadays, the best we get is the forum homepage, and the site stopped letting people peeking in without having an account. Growth is muffled.
Second part is, messaging forums itself are dying. There is Reddit, there is discord which provide same services but better.
Other part about dynasties - write for yourself, but it's okay to stop if no one is reading, or you feel you are shouting in the void. On the other hand, if people like something, they will comment and tell you about it. Even if they don't, check monthly DOTM's, someone will have mentioned your name. People also need to like your content too. You said you feel someone's work is inferior to yours, but maybe people like his/her stuff, maybe they think he/she is better and worth their time. It's subjective.
At the end of the day, no matter how you phrase it, it's a hobby. You aren't getting paid, nor you will publish this anywhere and earn money by putting it on Patreon or somewhere. If you feel like stopping, stop. If you like it or having fun writing, keep at it!
-
Is this one that's been converted into .pdf format? Somewhere in the Diary of the Year/Month boards, iirc. I distinctly remember reading something similar to what you're describing.
Yes. I think we lost his thread when forums were purged during TEW 2020 introduction. I don't think PDFs of dynasties exist today, as links are dead.
-
Wow, those new renders are really disorientating, Everyone looks different! Can say something about some of the new names.
I am just 15-20 mins in getting a feel of the game world and already found out that my favorite scumbag/negative influence is gone. Feels bad.
Great job guys. Can't wait to start a game with UPJ.
-
Too Famous or Too Cool, I think. Not sure. So we are two days away. Gotcha.

Season three of Final Space finished up, so I am rewatching the first two seasons before starting it. So damn entertaining
I remember watching s1. I thought it was cancelled. Is s2/s3 good?
Infinity train and Final space was on my list.

<p>One thing I hated was how much they rag dolled the leading widows and how both of them would just stand up and shrug it as if it was nothing.</p><p> </p><p>
I don't have this problem in other actions films, say Mission Impossible, it's just that you are portraying a human spy character in a universe built around power levels and being a super soldier means something compared to a normal human.</p><p> </p><p>
I thought the movie had nice ideas, but it was really underdeveloped. Prison break sequence was stupid, Spoilers in white - <span style="color:#FFFFFF;">Flying castle is also a stupid place to hide red room</span>. When half of your heroes can fly and SHIELD had helicarriers, it's just not well-thought-out. As Jaysin said, Taskmaster is wasted and could have been used in a future show.</p><p> </p><p>
Florence Pugh is a great replacement for ScarJo though. I am excited about the post credit scene and what it means overall.</p>

Diary talked about how ECW became rivals to WWE and WCW on the backs of ECW originals(RVD, Sabu, Shane Douglas, Raven, Sandman and Tommy Dreamer) and then carried on as the biggest promotion including their hardcore tendencies. While some Extreme parts may not have aged well, I can still recall the Whole f'n show storyline as well as Raven's multiple year long stories.It lasted 4 in game years and had multiple original stars (Paul Burchill, some Italian family brothers, a deathmatch guy called Nate Hatred, Chris Hero) alongside real life stars like Shawn, RVD, Taker, Rock etc. His roster was stacked and routinely got A/A* rating due to it being played on the older version of the game.</p><p> </p><p> To replicate it in 2016, I decided on NWA theme product with bit of modern, so that guys like DB, Punk, Rey can have some fun with matches. (WCW product without daredevil or risqué/hardcore).</p><p> </p><p> At the end, I had a nice little roster with ruthless aggression stars slowly rising as UMC and ME and had few real life top guys like Eddie involved in stories.</p><p> </p><p> I cheated a bit though, as the 2016 game had a tendency to give long contracts and I felt it's funny that top stars(B pop minimum) would sign 7-10 year deals when you had a 3-way war at the top. I edited the contracts so that when top guys(including mine) would renew, they will have 750- 1000 day contracts. (around 2/3 years randomly)</p><p> </p><p> DB's technical wrestling streak was fun, and he was unbeaten in submission matches. Sean O'Haire became the real deal for me, as I have mentioned in the previous comment. During O'Haire's reign, my authority figure, Cornette got tired of O'Haire and begrudgingly brought Raven in to dismantle his stable. Raven did dismantle the stable but couldn't win the title back. Hardy Vs Punk storyline, with Punk helping Hardy with addiction and then turning on him when Hardy was suspended for wellness policy, drugs planted by O'Haire to break up their team and not challenge his guys for the title. </p><p> </p><p> Sting took Cena as his protégé in game, so I ran the storyline with them becoming face painted tag team (surfer sting came back). Sting backstabbed Cena later when Cena won a title shot at O'haire's title, courtesy of O'Haire manipulating Sting and reminding how Luger and WCW did him dirty during the old days. Cena was over due to this storyline and won the title and became my figurehead shortly after. </p><p> </p><p> Most of these stories were happening simultaneously, so it was fun booking them.</p><p> </p><p> Similarly, RVD had a title reign where he would put the title on the line every night until he lost it. Cornette didn't like the open challenge idea and wanted RVD to take it seriously and act like a champ. He had a few big names from Mexico and Japan come and challenge his reign due to his connections abroad. RVD was one of the constant Main Eventers and reliable workers for me. </p><p> </p><p> I had lost Edge to WCW during the early days of the promotion and brought him back and gave him a big fish in the small pond gimmick where he tried to big league everyone saying he was a 'big boy' now and even heels didn't like him. Kevin Steen had a rookie storyline where shortly after his debut, he won the Openweight belt and somehow kept retaining. </p><p> </p><p> As far as I recall, I had plans for a women's division, considering WWF never started one in this timeline, but other than 2-3 rest just weren't good enough yet.</p>

Self's FCK was the first one I think which talked about intricacies of Canadian C-verse and the Pseudo Hart Foundation Vs Von Erich rivarly in game. (Stones Vs DeColts), I had participated in a forum draft and brought all of them together in Canada and had a lot of fun with the save with them having a war first with both academies and the rivals of families involved. (Trent Shafer, Elite for DeColts and Westybrook, Hayes Cavanagh for Stones) . before they could come to final blow, unifying the families against the common enemy of Cornell, Rich Money and Eisen. Those three had formed a coalition and wanted to kill Canadian wrestling once and for all by buying up all the canadian promotions and wanted to buy this one as it would mean taking away promoter license from both Decolts and Stones as both were working for the same company.
Angeladytte's and Jsilver's USPW diaries really made me love the old school wrestling presented in the modern world aka USPW and made me start a USPW game.
USPW was my go-to company for a while, but with new game's menace nerf it's not worth it to have green 7-foot giants smashing each other.
Nevermore's ECW diary made me start a NWA save with a sole target of slowly taking over the wrestling world from WCW and WWE. I started in 1996 which lasted 8-9 years? As I took on both WCW and WWE and had rivalries in my roster which went on for years.
Sean O'Haire with his devil's advocate gimmick, Cornette fighting fire with fire and bringing in Raven and his nest to take down O'haire reign of terror, Punk and Hardy's rivalry from best friends to their 2008 real life feud with them unifying again against O'haire as he had planted drugs in Hardy's bag, Daniel Bryan's quest to prove himself as the best technical wrestler of all time and then defeating Regal, Finlay, Rey, Flair, Benoit, Owen, Bret, Eddie, Kurt Angle, Curt Henning, in submission matches at my version of top 4 PPV's similar to UT's streak. Cena becoming a face painted Protégé of Sting etc. that save had memorable storylines.
I liked NJPW, but I had no knowledge about puro, Tigerkinney's BHOWTG diaries are great to start learning about how to book Japan's touring and understand booking philosophies. I did UPJ(t-verse) save using his diaries and real life NJPW and had wonderful 2-3 years, building up Oda Yamawaki(T-verse Okada) as new ace and had a lot of fun with Young Lion setup and Stable wars.
NoNeck had a pseudo Lucha Underground diary, booking T-verse Luchadores as a pseudo LU promotion with killings, aliens, myths and demons. Had a similar save in 2016 c-verse with undercarders in SOTBPW and other Indy guys. One of the best saves I ever had with batshit crazy stories, with references to wider c-verse. I had a trios tournament, and it had guys from CGC, NOTBPW, WLW guys, BHOTWG juniors, Joshi's, AAA girls etc. It was a fan's dream. In canon, Everyone wanted something from Temple, and it gave me reason to bring in others on short-term deals.
I had brought in guys from America as I was finally cult in second year. Alicia Strong had a strong arc and midcard guys like Mainstream Hernandez or Bumfholes had a role.
There were cameos from SOTBPW top stars. Lover came in to help in his protégé, El Heroe Mexicano, and then he had one of the best Heel turns ever as he was revealed as mastermind for the whole LU(he was pulling strings behind Grand avatar, manipulated El Heroe, and he was the one who started the temple and brought 7 tribes together to use their medallions and unlock the secret chamber under the temple. He then burned down the temple to retrieve the mythical Holy grail/Elixir of Immortality/ Philosopher's stone, Alien equipment/Kavach Kundala which everyone was searching for in the temple).
7 tribes then came together(El Heroe Mexicano - Human, El Serpiente- Snake, Death - Guerrero Muerto, Jaguar - Silver Jaguar, insect - Amazing Firefly, Bird tribe - Hurracan Jr, Rabbit - Joanna Rodriguez) and defeated El Forza, Lover, Grand Avatar, El Jefe Militar and Raven Robinson (Lady Muerte).
Grand Avatar was then revealed as the time travelling wrestling god, who was present during all the c-verse events and vanished into a portal. 7 tribes then sealed the rest of the three in the chamber using 7 medallions.
There was a Mark Cuban diary, where he took over DAVE, C-verse's ECW. It was a fun diary and had a lot of great characters and made me start a DAVE save, but it didn't last long as the 2005 version had just a one-hour show and money management wasn't that fun.
I love Eisen-verse style and his SWF diaries but IMO 2013/16 c-verse version of SWF was 'our roster is stale, steal from USPW/TCW and indies to have a fun time' and it didn't last long for that reason.
James Casey's MAW was similar. It made me a start a MAW save with a goal of revolving door of wrestlers and slowly going regional but developing wrestlers may seem like fun, but it's a boring and tedious task considering money management and tactics like touring which devolve into gaming the system.
Phantom Stranger had a nice TCW diary, it was a nice reference before starting a save. While Syndicate is fun, TCW again devolved into bringing Indy guys like Parkers, Helikaon's and Keith twins and bloating the roster due to the work rate nature of the company and I lost interest.
Edit : I am missing a lot of people and wonderful diaries here. I usually start my fictional saves after getting inspiration/stories/lore from diaries.

I never played a game using the Thunderverse in TEW 2016. I have been almost exclusively using C-Verse data for the past few versions of the game.
Can anyone who has played with both C-Verse and Thunderverse data give me a comparison of the pros and cons of both?
TIA
Pros — TLDR : — The makers behind T-verse know the game better than Adam himself(just kidding) and are very involved with database.
While Real world mods community is very talented, they have constraints of real world data to deal with, Without constraints, T-verse guys can and go wild every year and create a world most suitable to the game's engine.
There are so many options with wrestlers in terms of how you can progress your save. There are no El Miticos and Austin Smooth, but variation of 20-40 guys you can hire.
Rosters are built carefully. Regions have their own distinct stars. Relationships are built very well. I am excited to see the use of traits this time around.
Real world counter-parts are much more defined yet at the same time have distinct histories and personalities. I won't spoil them here, have fun finding them. Ex. Thunderverse is based on, Hulk Hogan's T-verse counterpart.
Most important, — database has real progression, while C-verse is very stagnant.
Cons:
Vast database. You can get lost very easily.
Like every fantasy-verse it has its own history, inside jokes, secret characters its just that without board dynasties or proper history threads, it can be hard to get involved.
Lack of proper big companies. National companies existed in previous version, but all of them were teetering on cult or very early national status. You were required to build a roster and rely on few guys in the beginning. Only UPJ (NJPW counterpart) and one Mexican company truly had a roster of their level. It was a strategic choice so that the player has fun and the scenario in the database gave the justification, but I wanted big companies who could hold their place on their own.
About TEW2020 changes:
Database also loved playing with Menace/SQ and negative influence Combo as a trade-off for the stat's influence. Now that Menace is a useless stat, I want to see how that is represented here.
Diverse and creative products was a plus point, but I don't know what they are going to do this year with the constraints on the products.

To everyone using metahuman, Epic games is asking me to download unreal engine and then add-on for metahuman.
I am okay with downloads, it's just that everyone said it's browser based program so is this norm or not? Did you download unreal engine before or you are just using chrome/Firefox to make these renders?
-
You are right. I don't have the database in front of me but I thought Liberty/James Justice did all three but he never joined Supreme.
When you think about it, USPW kinda replaced DAVE as the third promotion with a completely different product-set.
I still suspect one of the jobbers must have done it.

Give Me Rules For A Game - Re-Rebooted
in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 General Discussions
Posted
Face that runs the place - This goes without saying but the three DeColt brothers can never turn heels, unless you get Stevie back, that traitor isn't a real DeColt and is excluded.
House of Horror - DeColt family needs new villains. Hire 3 new monsters (70+menace) and push them to at least Well-known level in first year.
Vibert's Voice - CGC is a family business, but Vibert is the one in control. Don't hire anyone currently working at Supreme, even if they are released by Eisens. Everyone at SWF pays for DAVE.
Old school Alex - Your world champion is required to be a middleweight or up. Nobody under middleweight is legitimate enough to be the world champion in the eyes of Alex DeColt.
Vibert's indie darling - Vibert loves Trent Shaffer. Make sure he is always involved in a storyline with Major stars/Stars on your show.
Family-friendly fun - For every new serious gimmick you assign to your wrestlers, you need to assign a silly gimmick as well. (This is for RP purposes, but it's CGC, go crazy with gimmicks!
)
