I don't want either of them to stay champion, as I'll have them in a long storyline that will continue after Wrestlemania (and will help build other people) and I don't want the belt to be "stuck" between the two for months, basically.
The best hypothesis I have for now is to have the current General Manager vacate Reigns title due to his behaviour during the Elimination Chamber matches, and after that Reigns would be even more furious at Lesnar. The only problem I have with that is that it'll make a precedent and I don't want every heel to lose their title for attacking their opponent in another match.
Of course, I could just have Steph (the new owner) fire Pearce for that, because she'd see that as a proof he can't manage his locker room properly, and it'd lead nicely into the other "big" non-title Mania storyline I'm planning (a "GM-War" of multiple people vying for the post). But so far I haven't found a proper way to do it with more than 2, max 3 people (while I have 10 potential GMs
) so I'm not sure I'll actually have said storyline yet. -
I've been stuck trying to find a solution for a problem I have, but have yet to find something that pleases me, so I thought I'd ask you guys.
First of all, for a bit of context: I'm in January 2022, and Brock Lesnar is WWE champion while Roman Reigns is Universal Champion, as in real life. However, I plan to have them both lose the title before Wrestlemania, and have an all-out war between the Bloodline (with an unexpected ally) and Lesnar (who'll get allies of his own).
Basically, at the Royal Rumble, I'll have champions face each other (so, Universal vs WWE, US vs IC, Raw Tag vs SD tag, Raw Women vs SD Women, and probably WWE Women Tag vs NXT tag in preshow or something). Lesnar will win the Universal vs WWE, because the Usos will be too tired/hurt by their own match. However, Reigns will not let it rest, and at Elimination Chamber, the Usos (and possibly Reigns himself) will intervene in the Raw Elimination Chamber so Lesnar will lose his title to Kevin Owens (who will then defend it at Mania against Edge, the man who'll eliminate him in the Rumble despite a great showing of Owens).
Because I don't want Reigns to keep his title, Lesnar will also cost him the title the next Smackdown.
The problem is this: my Royal Rumble winner is a face, and the only "good" challenger for the title at Mania is also a face that I can't (nor want to) turn. And I need Reigns to lose the title before Mania so the Royal Rumble winner can win it there without Reigns needing to fight him.
However, that means I either have to :
- give a one month title reign to a random SD heel (so, Zayn, Sheamus or Corbin) or a Raw heel I'll transfer
- have the title go vacant somehow
- have the Royal rumble win the title in a non-clean way, making his win at the Rumble essentially useless
If anyone has a good suggestion that does not include Reigns having a match in both days of Mania, I'd be grateful because I really have no idea. Oh, and also I don't have a PPV between Elimination Chamber and Mania anymore, so it means the Reigns title loss must occur either at the Elimination Chamber (but then it'd mean a Face vs Face at Mania) or in a weekly show.,Whether he loses it to someone or the title goes vacant (which to be honest would be better for long term booking purposes) isn't important.
- give a one month title reign to a random SD heel (so, Zayn, Sheamus or Corbin) or a Raw heel I'll transfer
-
Just figured this out myself, set the champion as a loan to the WWE (for example NXT Cruiserweight champion Jordan Devlin), call the belt up, if the champion is on the roster, it won't vacate it.
So I have to set them as "on loan" before the creation of the game ? Or does it also work when I borrow them for a specific show ? I have no issue with borrowing them each time I need them (which, to be fair, won't be as often: probably just at the Rumble and perhaps at Mania if I can't fill the card enough).
Thanks for the suggestion in any case !

If you're looking to expand into France, may I suggest looking into contacting Sturry, he was/is involved in the wrestling scene there and I know he plays TEW, so might be able to help.
https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=12015
An excellent suggestion indeed ! And if what I've been told about him is true, he'll also be objective enough that he could help with other companies he (or the company he usually worked with) didn't necessarily have a good relationship with.

Any chance of some 2004 WWE rules please? Going to completely redraft the rosters and have some original characters in development at the moment they can be included in rules or excluded.
It's who you know: blood relatives and best friends of your workers (save for wrestlers recognised as unimportant) have to be signed, and used as much as possible based on their skills. So if you have to hire someone's cousin and they can only really be used as a jobber for 2 min squash matches, you do that... but if they have the ability to be a mega-star, you also have to use as such.
Mucha Lucha: hire the most popular under-30yo luchador in Mexico and make him into a star.
Women Revolution: This time, WWE really is going to be a precursor in women wrestling. US women wrestling that is, so you can't simply hire every joshi there is, and so you'll have to find women ready to be stars.
I'm not Nostradamus: Stars of today can't become instant stars in your roster, just because you know they'll become huge. So, no Daniel Bryan headlining Wrestlemania in 2005, or Becky Lynch as the head of the women division. You can hire them if they have 5 years of experience, or if they have proven their worth in one of the top 10 promotions (well, top 11), and once they're in your roster, you take your time building them into solid midcarders without a rocket push.

Quick question: if I want to be able to call up a worker in the future, should I sign them as the parent company then send them to the dev company, or do signings I do as a child company automatically become "developmental" workers I can, as the parent company, call up later ?
-
In my opinion, having more companies to play with and workers to discover is always a good thing, so I'd be down for a more "complete" pack. After all, if we don't want some of the companies (in this case, the Scandinavian ones, but it could be others too), we can simply decide not to import them.
As for adding more European companies, there's no doubt I'd be interested to have the French and Belgian ones in a mod, so of course I'd be down for more packs, or for them to be added to the Indies+ mod.
Speaking of those companies, if you need help translating or searching for some infos in French feel free to message me ! I haven't been able to follow much of the scene lately, and I'm absolutely awful at rating people anyway, but I can try and do my best to help with infos, attributes, etc !

<p>So I've found out that you can actually "call up" the titles as the parent company, however it will vacate it and even sending it back to NXT doesn't mean the current champion gets it back. </p><p>
Worse, even if you were to award it directly to the "right" champion, it would artificially create a new reign for him rather than be a continuation of the former one. </p><p> </p><p>
I'll have to test if it's feasible during the actual booking of a show, or if I have to start from scratch and manually modify titles into alliance titles.</p>

<p>If I wanted to book NXT title matches at Mania playing WWE, how would I need to do that ? </p><p> </p><p>
I'd imagine calling up the workers just set the title vacant, and I don't think you can borrow titles unless they are alliance titles, but maybe I'm missing an obvious solution due to the fact it's been ages since I've played a company with a dev company I actually wanted to invest time in.</p>

Obviously the more the merrier, but I have a ideas for some of these already. Shooting for some time this weekend on some. Hopefully life doesn't get in the way.
Don't worry, I have wayyyy too many shows to book before I even need to use those. Besides, seeing how great your work is everytime, it'd deserve the wait nonetheless !

Hey, another request if anyone feels like doing at least some of those:
- a logo for a PPV called "WWE Big Six", with a Casino/wheel of Fortune theme. It'll probably take place in Las Vegas every year, but in the case I decide to go with other casino-heavy cities, maybe it's best to avoid direct references to Vegas.
- More modern logos for WWE Armageddon, WWE Unforgiven and WWE Bad Blood
- this one is for those feeling really creative, as I'd like to have a bunch of "WWE One Night In" with different cities outside of the US. Basically, I intend to replace Crown Jewel by shows in different big cities outside of the US and Canada. For now, the name will be "One Night in" followed by the name of the city, but if you have better ideas I'm fine with that too. I'd imagine at least the main cities in Europe, the Uk, India, Australia/New Zealand, Japan and Mexico, but if you really want to have a logo for a "One Night in Tijuana" or something, go ahead. Basically, as long as there's a venue I could use for a PPV-sized show in that city, and it's not in the US/Canada, I'm interested
Again, thank you in advance for any who feel like doing any of these !

Depending on the gimmicks and how well known they are:
- If they don't have a very specific gimmick (like the Undertaker, Kane, etc), and they are well known, I'll just change their first name (Alistair Black -> Malakai Black, Steven Regal -> William Regal, that kind of thing).
- If they don't have a very specific gimmick, and are pretty much unknown, I'll decide if their indy name is nice enough to modify the same way I do the big names, or use a variation of their real name, or a combination of some of their indy names. For instance, I've signed a dude named Joe Black to NXT: it's a pretty good name, but there will be a Alistair Black in the future so I'll decide between Joe Blackwail (a variation of his real name), Joe A'Gau (one of his indy names) or a combination (Dante A'Gau for instance).
- If they have a very specific gimmick, then I'll try to find something in the same theme. The Undertaker, if signed early enough that he's not known universally as the Undertaker, could become The Mortician or something like that. Amasis from Chikara (the snake guy) could become Ouroboros, Uraeus, etc.
- If their indy name is not good, they don't have a really specific gimmick and their real name doesn't sound cool enough, I've been known to use a list of local first names and family names, and find a combination I like the sound of.

Give her a Paris Hilton-esque lifestyle GURU gimmick where she helps jobbers repackage themselves, but it usually just results in them changing their name to be the first name repeated, for example: Drew Drew (Drew Gulak).
I was going to make her a color commentator because I learned she had gone to a journalism school before her wrestling carreer, but honestly, I'm super tempted to have her as a lifestyle influencer (which would also fit her real life work) and do just what you suggested. If she had better mic/acting skills, I'd do that right away because who doesn't want to hear Rhino being super confused on why she wants him to go by the name Rhino Rhino ?!

Hello,
Quick question that I could probably test myself, but I thought I'd ask rather than take the risk it breaks the game or something: in a multiplayer save, can I trade Player 2 character for one show ?
Like, say Player 2 is playing as Triple H owning NXT, and I play as Shane owning WWE: since Player 2 is playing Triple H, does it mean I can never ever book Triple H for a match or an angle ever again, or can I still hire him for one night (and/or basically anything else than an exclusive written contract) ?
I know I can book myself into matches, but I'm unsure about another user character.

Wrestlingdata says Billy Gunn had a match in February 1989 (as Kip Montana, teaming with Mike Jackson to face the LOD in a taping of WCW), then nothing until a 3vs3 match in October 1992. Since I highly doubt his very first match was in WCW, I'd say it's likely that raspymorten is right.
The same site says Bart Gunn debuted in the same October 92 match, as Brett Colt teaming with Kip Winchester (so, Billy Gunn) and Frankie Rose against a team of Sonny T, Rick Thames and Mickey Jay, in an ICWA show. This one might be a tiny bit more likely as a debuting match, but again it's just as likely he debuted in small companies a bit before that.

That's fair enough, actually. I mean, it's the same reason I've thought about Bate for the role, so I can't blame you.
Back on the topic, I've had a couple new suggestions from other places for every role, so if anyone has arguments for/against them, feel free to share, as well as new suggestions !
Lars Sullivan gimmick:
Big Damo (aka Killian Dain), Harland, Dylan James, KTB, Madman Fulton, Nick Comoroto, Odinson, Schaff
Jack Gallagher:
Tyler Bate, Aiden English, Simon Gotch, Tristan Archer (Clement Petiot during the CWC) Weber Hatfield, Gentleman Jervis
The Velveteen Dream:
Dalton Castle, Shane "Swerve" Strickland, Carmelo Hayes, Ace Austin, Effy, Jay Lethal
Update on this, for those curious: I finally went with Fulton (and Odinson as a back-up that might be used in a viking-themed tag team to replace the War Raiders) for the Lars Sullivan gimmick, Dalton Castle as the obvious choice for The Dream, and I settled on Weber Hatfield so I wouldn't feel too guilty if the Gentleman gimmick doesn't work. Plus, I have a fondness for him from a precedent run as a small company, so...
On the other hand, I know have a new problem ! Because we had completly forgotten to add a challenge for the women (or, well, my friend did), we picked a new thing to do: each of us gave the other a retired worker that needs to be re-used into a new role. I went with a man (since I gave Nikki Cross as a challenge already), namely The Boogeyman, and he picked for me Kelly Kelly.
So, anyone has an idea on what I can have her do ? I'm authorised to modify her profile a bit (like, giving her Referee or Announcing skills) but only if she has done a decent job at it while she was still working regularly in WWE. I honestly don't remember if she was ever a guest at the announce table or a guest referee, I certainly have no use for her as a manager and I can't see her as a GM so... yeah, feel free to suggest stuff.
-
I totally agree, the ones you made for me are all gorgeous ! Now, all I need is to find a way to do the border-thingy used in the SAMPP gif pack and I can start to conquer the world. Or, well, WWE main roster, whichever comes first.
-
Hello,
Anyone willing to do a more serious logo for Lucha House Party (that you can rename LHP if you want), in the SAMPP gif style ?
I honestly have no idea on the colors, shape, etc that would fit to make the stable feel like a big deal that will dominate the roster, but it's clear that the logo they had on their blue t-shirts isn't it. I'm booking a future title winning stable, not a "Saved by the Bell" telenovela
Thanks !

Hello,
I think it'd be pretty nice if, similar to how we can propose trading agreements, offer to accept workers on excursions, etc there was the possibility to negotiate the opportunity to do a supershow with another company, even if we have a poor relationship or aren't in an alliance. Obviously, they could refuse and, depending on the reason we as the player try to organise such show, get a pop penalty for it. There would therefore be reasons to organise such a show:
- regular supershow: this one is basically "Hey, we have good workers, you have good workers, wanna do a show together ?". The other company refusing wouldn't bring any penalty to them (or us, if we refuse such a proposition). The money made from the show would be shared.
- memorial show: only available when a worker who worked in both company has died, this one would get a pop penalty, and a morale penalty for the deceased's friends/family, if refused. There would be no monetary gain for doing this, but you could gain a bit of a pop boost for a brief time (like 4-6 weeks for instance). This one could be turned into a yearly event if both companies agree.
- charity show: available at any time, this show is done for charity. You won't gain any money from it, just like the memorial shows, and have the same pop boost if accepted, but if refused every worker of the refusing company could get a morale penalty (save for those with attributes that say they don't care about others, I guess ?). Unlike the memorial show, however, you'd have to re-ask every time you want to do such a show, and would be limited to a certain number of shows a year (I wanna say 2 max, and there would be no possibility to ask for a third show so to avoid cheating).
Also, there would be an option to get the deceased friends and family to get out of retirement/come back in the business for that show, and that show only, along with maybe a tiny chance it'd make them fall in love with wrestling again.
So say, I book AEW, and unexpectedly CM Punk dies while working for me. I would then, despite my hostile relationship with WWE, ask them to do a memorial show so his friends still working there can participate: either they accept, in which case I can now use a couple of their workers in my memorial show (and Punk's friends would gain a pop boost for being allowed at the show), or they don't. Now, because I organise a CM Punk memorial show, I can also convince AJ Lee to have "one more match", in honor of Punk, and there would then be a tiny chance she might decide to not go back to retirement.
Anyway, you get the point and obviously there would be plenty of tweaks possible to make it more interesting but yeah

Hello,
Not sure if it's been suggested yet, but for a future TEW I'd like the opportunity to have an option on a worker's profile that would let me "copy" their profile so I can search for similar workers easily.
For instance, say I have in my roster a Muscular Light Heavyweight who uses a Powerhouse style and who has great skills, and I want to find a similar, lesser known/experienced worker so I can have the lesser known play a "copy" of my worker, or put the two of them in a tag team as a mentor/rookie kind of dynamics. By clicking on this option on my worker's profile, I'd have a generated list of all workers who fit their profile.
Alternatively, in the search engine, we could have a menu letting us pick a worker's name, and it'd input their Personal infos, attributes and skills range so I could just remove one of the criterias/lower the skill range a tiny bit and have a list of similar workers I can hire.

For LHP, just repackage Fantasma’s stable. Harland can be your new Lars, Carmelo Hayes can be your new Dream, and Morgan Webster can be your new Gallagher.
Well, I need to use the original workers in the stable, so Kalisto, Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado. However, I can add people to it, but not make them more important than the original members unfortunately.
I honestly had forgotten about Harland, but it might be a bit too early for me to use him on the main roster. Still, an interesting suggestion, I'll have to think about it because he does fit a lot, despite his abysmal Mic and Acting skills !
Carmelo Hayes could work, although for now I'm not super convinced he has the IT factor that Dream had. Not to sound harsh, but character wise I find him (for what I've seen, I don't really follow NXT 2.0 all that much) a bit of a copy of Isaiah Scott. Who I suppose could also be a decent pick for the gimmick, but also lacks the "Flamboyant" part I'm searching for.
As for Webster, I'm interested to know what made you think about him, actually, because I'd never have thought about him and now I'm wondering if I've missed something important haha
Trent Seven or Tyler Bate could pull of the Gallagher gimmick, if they’re not already doing a better version of it. Nick Comoroto could be a good pick up for the Sullivan gimmick. Struggling for suggestion with Dream though as it was so well done by him that anyone else would like a poor mans equivalent. Dalton Castle would be my best shout. As for repackaging Lucha House Party, turning them Rudos could really help shed the jobber feel to them.Actually, I had thought about Bate ! But I like the team together, even if ultimately Bate will have to one day be on his own since Seven is much older than he is. So for now I'm hoping to find someone else, but I might end up choosing him nonetheless. My other pick would be Aiden English, but since he's already well known by the fans, it'd be a bit disappointing to have him start from scratch.
Comoroto is definitely going on the candidates list ! However, with his AEW contract it'd be difficult to get him, so he won't be my first choice for now.
Uh, Dalton Castle didn't really cross my mind, but now that you mention it, I could see it... Maybe not a Prince-like, but he certainly does know how to play Flamboyant characters...

Hey guys !
I'm currently doing a challenge with a friend of mine where each other gives a former stable and a couple of former NXT gimmicks to the other to push: the stable must become a big deal (as in "The Bloodline" or "Hurt Business" big: one guy wins the main title eventually, and the others win the secondary titles/tag titles/whatever is available) while the NXT gimmicks (that can be used by the same guys or new hirings) have to be used regularly but the rocket push isn't mandatory.
While I was a bit nice with him, giving him Retribution as the Stable and as far as NXT gimmick goes, Nikki Cross crazyness, the "Leo Kruger" gimmick and a "Perfect 10" type of gimmick, my friend on the other hand was a bit harsher. I now have to make Lucha House Party into a legendary stable (that is, if they even agree to sign back...) and find workers that will incarnate the gimmicks of Lars Sullivan, Jack Gallagher and The Velveteen Dream.
Now that you have the context, here's where I need your help: while I can think of a way to make Lucha House Party relevant, I have no idea who I can hire in January 2022 to replace those three others.
Obviously, there is no way I'll hire them back, but I don't know who could play their gimmicks. I could always just pick a random big guy for Sullivan (or even just bring back Killian Dain, although I'm open to other suggestions), but an old-time cruiserweight gentleman and a 2022 version of Prince ? Yeah, no clue at all.
So, if by any chance you have an idea on who I could hire/bring up from NXT (even if they have zero pop, as long as they are more or less as talented in the ring -or more, obviously- than the 3), I'd be really grateful !
) so I'm not sure I'll actually have said storyline yet.

I technically could, but my planned winner isn't getting any younger and it's probably his last chance to win it before I start giving this kind of victory to younger stars.
On the other hand, I've decided on a set of action: my Rumble winner (that I'm keeping secret in case my friend decides to read this post
) will keep his win, Reigns and Lesnar will keep their losses (Lesnar because of the Bloodline, Reigns because of an irrate Steph McMahon who'll then fire Pearce for his lack of control on the Bloodline) and the title will be won at Mania by the Rumble winner.
However, I'll not have the potential GMs have a storyline, and will instead just have people vote for whoever they feel would be the two best GMs amongst the 10 candidates, and then randomly choose which one goes to RAW/SD based on the draft.
