Dischord Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 [FONT="Arial"]Is when you leave to start a promotion, you had the option of picking three wrestlers that agreed to jump ship and work for you. I know it's not realistic but damn it was nice, even if they weren't always the best workers.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Lyrium Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 There's no way that's getting put back in before Coachman's Dance Of The Day ¬_¬ Although nowadays of course it'd need to be Downpour's Dance Of The Day or something ¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dischord Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Haha I completely forgot about that. Damn. I can't believe how long it's been. TEW 08 is due in a month. I remember the summer of 8th grade waiting for EWR to be released and being excited there was pictures in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I love TEW, and I do, sometimes I miss the old days of EWR. However, I've tried going back and I just prefer the detail of TEW.

AfRoMaN36 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Apparantly back at the old forums it was apparently revealed she was a friend of Adams at the time. Only Adam can really confirm this. Same with whether or not it was a nude, though everyone thought it was. But I couldnt help developing a little crush for Sophie. I mean MAN did she know about wrestling or what? And what more could a pubescent 13 year old wrestling fan ask for than a hot nude woman telling me how to run a wrestling promotion? ...

Having her help with storylines, or for her to be the one to send me the email about backstage incidents or contracts expiring would be a wonderful touch.

Vladamire Dracos Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Perhaps replace the generic "Extreme Eye" with an "assistant" that pops up to inform you of the same stuff the eye does (using a rendered version of "Sophie" for the Cornellverse assistant's pic, which could be replaced with a suitable pic for whatever mod)? I could see that working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregano Jensen Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I don't think I've ever written a dynasty that didn't feature some kind of backstage worker named Sophie. Of course, I also never wrote a dynasty that got more than two shows in, so I didn't post them... ...my point is, whatever happened to Aidan Nathans? That guy was INVINCIBLE in EWR... one of the two or three best widely available wrestlers. I mean, we all know what happened to Paul Birchill ([I]sic[/I]) -- I take it Nathans' stats were not as accurate a reflection of reality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfRoMaN36 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Yeah, that doesnt sound too bad. Replacing the extreme eye and the emails with Sophie. Seems like something that shouldnt be too hard to do though I'm not a programmer. We want us some Sophie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't even get me started on "The Radical" Austin Lee. That guy was an EWR superstar ... he even had the superstar look ticked to prove it. The one picture I saw of him he looked like a pale skinny kid in a beanie sitting in a dark loungeroom with a webcam if I recall. Have not heard anything of him outside EWR ever and I suspect he may have been a friend of Mr Ryland. And to back up this thread, I would love to see a few more elements of the old EWR series in TEW. Not sure why but I have such a soft spot for EWR even though it's so hard to go back to after playing TEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'Meeting' room was great, telling you your most over babyfaces and heels, advising wrestlers to sign, highlighting unhappy workers etc/ The internet was awesome too, as fluff as it was, I especially enjoyed the promotion site and the Ryland Report. It made it feel like there was an actual wrestling community in the game, something that hasn't been there in the TEW series. It also had it's weak points too, and it isn't a patch on any TEW game, but something has been lost from EWR to where the series is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurningHamster Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Yeah I was going to mention Erin Bray then decided that headache was best avoided. Someone needs to book an real world EWR supercard one day utilizing all this mostly unknown talent. Erin Bray will need to become male for it though.

Cold Cobra Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I remember trying to start a rumour that Austin Lee was Adam Ryland in a hat. Some people started going "Oh yeah!" until Adam arrived in my thread and shot it down :) I think that's what's getting me most excited about TEW08, a lot of the new features are returning EWR ones.
