Dude! This looks so visually satisfying. Using Universe for the graphical aspect is such a unique idea and really enhances the diary! Can't wait to see where this goes!

Lucha Underground seems to be dead - perhaps it could be replaced with Game Changer Wrestling to fill the US indie gap? I would also suggest replacing Northern Championship Wrestling with C*4 Wrestling. While C*4 operates out of Ottawa, you could base them in Quebec to fill the Quebec indie slot. They are a lot hotter than NCW and use a much more diverse roster of guys that sit in the game unused at the moment. I can help out with any company info, rosters, and such if needed.

Rey Mysterio, on the other hand, is a very interesting case. After fixing up his knees, he's been putting on show-stealers and should not be hit by time decline at the moment.</p>

PWTorch reported that Dean Ambrose will be leaving WWE when his contract his up in April right after WrestleMania. He's not happy with his creative push and handed in his notice this weekend.

PWInsider just reported that Jeff Jarrett has signed with the WWE as a producer. He may also have an on-screen role.

ROH sold out their MSG show well in advance. I think a pop boost would benefit them in game to reflect this awesome news.

The features you will be implementing should be awesome! Hit me up if you ever need help with the Ontario indie scene.

I like the newer versions.

Made a few cuts for a few guys in game who either didn't have a picture or needed an update Brody King - Christian York - Joey Matthews - Logan Grey - Mathieu St-Jacques - Thomas Dubois

I can't wait for the release of the April mod! Excited to play the new revamped Japanese scene.
