No? This isn't the case. The gimmick overhaul was during this "Phase II" of the journal, and there's been a lot of little features added, too.

Not nearly as much as heel vs heel.

That's a good point. I know this shouldn't be a place for suggestions, but I've always felt that TEW not including some sort of mechanism that takes face and heel performance into account is missing out on some strategy and nuance for the game. There's some wrestlers that clearly perform worse when they have to work a "Heel beats up good guy" style.

The face/heel split thing is amazing. The reason why I never played Japanese promotions and those without the split is because I thought it was terrible just having a giant list of wrestlers when booking a match.

There should be a database of actual unique gimmicks. Why there's been "Arrogant Heel" and "Egomaniac" in the game for years is puzzling. Keep the database like in 2016, but fill it with the goofy ones and eliminate the duplicates.

They're more for just giving them a match, and the benefits with that. They do gain popularity, but only in the region the show is held.

Fog of War wasn't popular because it was implemented poorly in TEW. It took FOREVER for the levels to increase and show more stats, and there was no way to speed up the process through other game mechanics. Also WMMA has Fog of War and you can compare stats just fine in a way that makes sense. That said, though, I don't care that it's gone. But it could have been improved.

I hope the Talk To Worker feature includes "I wouldn't put him over... unless I was Kept Strong" or something to that effect.

Woah....

I think the mod would be more realistic and true to life, and more interesting, if CM Punk was just set to "Left the Business" or even "On Hiatus" (whatever that does). I understand the reasoning of "Well who's to say that he COULDN'T have gone to WWE or New Japan or CHIKARA?" but it's a 2014 mod and the biggest story of 2014 was that CM Punk went bye-bye forever.

The way I've always perceived Gilmore being the champion in TEW 2016 in my head was that he was passed by due to other super over wrestlers while he was the workhorse in the uppermidcard in previous games, and in this game he's still the same popularity, as champion, is old, not as good, and doesn't have the same level of talent around him to put him in "Big Name vs Smark Favorite" angles anymore. And I'm saying this as a guy that almost always made Gilmore the champion through building him out of the uppermidcard to the main event in previous games, by the way. He's one of my favorite characters in the C-Verse.

His profile description implies this was the case, yes. There's no real C-Verse backstory anymore, by the way. Everything post-Cornellverse website blog is just head cannon and reading through profiles.
