I've seen it improve a bit but it doesn't that much...unless it was changed in a patch.

 

I've always thought of star quality as he has the looks of being a star.

 

Also, isn't star quality tied to potential a lot? I thought I read someone saying that, I could be wrong.

 

A lot of these guys seem to have low star quality in comparison to other mods.

 

Not sure if it was changed in a patch, but it used to be that a worker would increase in star quality the first time a big company signs him/her.

This is incredibly minor, but maybe add a strong friendship between Tony Norris and Booker T and Stevie Ray. They were friends since they were teenagers and Norris more than likely wouldn't have started training if it wasn't for Booker and Stevie.

 


Another note about Harlem Heat, they shouldn't have such high tag experience. They had yet to even tag together. They didn't tag together until 1992. Booker says in his autobiography that they refused to team together for the longest time because they didn't want to be paired up just because they're brothers. Stevie Ray didn't even use the name Stevie Ray until 1992 when Eddie Gilbert made him use it. He used the name Atom Smasher the Super Collider, but I definitely agree with just having him use the name Stevie Ray.

 


*edit*

 


The picture used for BJ Whitmer looks more like Jimmy Jacobs, but since it's a whole body shot you can't really see the face so I might be wrong on that one.

Thinking of starting a new diary, any idea when the update is coming? No rush or anything, just trying to decide if I want to wait for that or jump into it now.

 

Not sure really. I've been spending time creating a 1999 mod for myself to use and am finally where I can play a game. Will probably have an update within 2 weeks would be my guess, but I wouldn't promise.

 

Edit: I want to get where I'm done updating this mod. :)

I'll just use the current data then. There's nothing gamebreaking for me that I've seen. :)

 

Yeah I wouldn't say it's anything major honestly. Just tweaks here and there, some new networks in the future (that most players will probably never use) maybe a new promotion or two, etc.

While setting things up for my diary, I noticed that Missy Hyatt is forced to only be a color commentator in WCW. I haven't watched any TV from 1991 recently, but on all the PPVs, she was a backstage interviewer. I believe it was you in the original Rising Storms thread(or maybe Hive in his thread) that told me she did color commentary before, but I don't think it should be contractually binding that it's all she can work as.

 


Was Big Van Vader using the shortened name "Vader" in WCW in January? At WrestleWar in February and Halloween Havoc in October he went by Big Van Vader.

 


Barry Windham's consistency seems criminally low(50). He gets dinged for it in almost every match. I'd probably put it in mid 70s. He was a really solid hand in 1991 and didn't have many matches where he looked off his game.

I thought I put this in here but maybe I put it in the wrong thread.

 

Does Kerry Von Erich's consistency need to be that low as well? Legitimately asking because I have no idea.

 

Because he's f***ing drugged.

 

:p
