It would be nice if TEW'08 could feature trios, just like it already features tag teams. Trios belts are in, but not trios themselves, IMO that's kinda illogical. They aren't a major thing in wrestling, but have quite their importance in lucha libre (and CHIKARA). For example, in my game, it annoys me that instead of "Triple X" being trios champions, the champions are known as "Triple X 2 and Christopher Daniels". And my previous champions being "Davey Richards & NRC 3" instead of being "The No Remorse Corps" [remember how ROH wanted to go for a trios tournament show before it was canceled, the NRC were meant to be a trios and not a stable originally] Thanks in advance Adam if you could add that in the game, it'd really kick ass, as the game I'm currently playing and I'll still probably be playing on TEW'08 is building a "lucha libre entertainment" promotion in the USA where the major title is the trios title.

[QUOTE=Self;396322]In my (often wrong) opinion, Full-Time Trio's are a little obscure to the mainstream to warrant their own section, but if this was merged somehow with an improved Stables system, it would be nice.[/QUOTE] To quote an old ECW slogan, F the mainstream. Seriously. If something gets left out because it doesn't conform to mainstream sensibilities, we might as well remove Japan from the game entirely. Catch wrestling doesn't have much mainstream appeal (most of WWE's fans couldn't even tell you what it is!) so remove the UK while you're at it. I would be all for a Trios addition, even if you tied it to promotion product (so, a WWE wouldn't have access to the benefits of trios but a CHIKARA or AAA would due to levels of lucha libre in their products). While this would seem to be an addition to the stables area, given the Freebird rule in 08, I think this could just be an offshoot of that. Create a new category (Trios) and tie it to match selection. So, while a tag team title needs 2 people on each side to be put up for grabs (i.e. the game won't let you put a tag title in a singles match), have the same rule apply for Trios and 6-man tag titles. I'd love to see this happen. Maybe in 09 or something (since I imagine this isn't something you just flip and switch and have added at this stage).

Mainstream doesn't mean American, and it doesn't mean WWE. It means following the ideals and trends of the culture you're in. That's different for Japan. That's different for the UK. A Japanese style puro promotion in America, yeah, that would be Anti-Mainstream. However, in Japan, it's Mainstream. It's all about the culture. Just because an American doesn't know who Coleen McLoughlin is, doesn't mean she isn't a (fairly) mainstream figure in the UK.

I'd really like this feature personally. At the moment I don't use a trios tag belt because the game doesn't seem to be suited to it even though I very often have 6 man tag matches. It's one of those features that some of us will want, those who don't could just choose not to use it.

[QUOTE=FuelFan0102;396519]Yo CHIKARA says what's up?[/QUOTE] LOL! More like: Yo The Country of Mexico says what's up? ;) Seriously though, while Trios wrestling and teams devoted to that style is relatively unheard of in the mainstream of English speaking part of the world, it's super popular in mainstream Mexican wrestling as found in CMLL and AAA, as are eight man matches (or "Atomicos" as they are referred to in Lucha libre). There have been many full time Trios and Atomicos teams throughout the 90's to today: Los Gringos Locos most famously (Konnan, Art Barr, Louie Spicolli, and Eddie Guerrero), The Blood Family, Los Infernales, Los Brazos, Los Barrio Boys, and The Villanos are just a few I can name off the top of my head.

What the hell is CHIKARA? I kid (kinda) I'm vaguely aware that it's a wrestling thing. As I said above, I know nothing about Mexican or Japanese wrestling. I'm pretty strictly an American Mainstream wrestling fan (largely because I don't have time to look at anything else... plus I like production values) If trios really are a big deal in other cultures, then I'll gladly tip my cap to you, and concede the point.

US Promotion, they're arguably the number 5 promotion in the US, behind WWE, TNA, RoH, and PWG. They just had a 28 team [B]trios[/B] tournament with competitors from across the world. If you're familiar with RoH's roster, current stars Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Mike Quackenbush, Larry Sweeny, Jigsaw, and the BLK OUT all "cut their teeth" in CHIKARA. Oh, and Colin Delaney was on the indy scene, specifically CHIKARA, as Colin Olsen before The 'E picked him up. But, on topic, I completely agree with the ability to have the ability to set up trios along with tags instead of just stables. It would be nice to be able to choose a trio instead of three different wrestlers kind of like tags teams in 07

And it'll help me play as Dragon Gate (or any other Lucharesu fed), so I'm loving this idea too. Come to think of it, every major Japanese promotion has trio's alot. They run so man six man tags, that an experience system for it would really make alot of sense. I hope this gets implemented!

Assuming "cut their teeth" means begin or became known in CHIKARA; Hero was big before CHIKARA and Quack wrestled a LOOOONG time before. If you meant something else, carry on.

I would put them over PWG as well, but many people argue that claim, so I decided to just play it safe. And yeah, Hero broke out with IWAMS and Quack has been around forever, but it's Quack's promotion, and I think one of Hero's highest accolades is Head Trainer at the Wrestle Factory, so that's why I gave him the nod. But again, back on topic. BOOK IT ADAM! haha :p
