Right back on track. Didn't lose anything from the hard drive so can continue this weekend as planned with any fixes etc that are listed and not yet done.

<p>Awesome news!</p><p> </p><p>

- Add K-Ness to AJPW on a touring deal.</p>

[Fleisch]

Not often I do this but if any of you guys have pics or find pics of Nokken and Milo Schnitzler I'd really appreciate them as I've looked everywhere I can think for them but cannot find any decent pics to cut of them. Having found out a bit more of the CHIKARA roster, I'm currently adding/deleting worker contracts.

[Fleisch]

<p><strong><span style="color:#FF0000;">First Posts list updated. Please read before requesting a fix for something.</span></strong></p><p> </p><p>

Everything mentioned in this thread should now have been done.</p><p> </p><p>

I have found a pic of Milo (albeit not great) but still cannot find a picture of Nokken so for now he'll have the silhouette picture. Maybe there'll be a pic after CHIKARA's return show tomorrow.</p>

[Silva]

- Averno jumped from CMLL to AAA and joined La Sociedad this month.

[Kryptonite]

just starting a WWE save game. Not quite thru my first week. Is the fix you mentioned enough to warrant starting over with WWE?

[dpoolez]

<p>IMO Magnus should be at C pop at the most if Roode, Aries, etc. are at C-. I dont think hes that much more over than those guys and odds are he's most likely on equal footing with them.</p><p> </p><p>

I'd reduce Mark Henry's overness to about 70 and maybe raise one of Batista, Dolph Ziggler, or Kane up a few points. Batista and Kane are a little bit too low for how featured they are on TV, especially in relation to Mark Henry who hasnt done anything since his Cena feud for the most part besides getting beaten up by guys like Lesnar.</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

<p>Magnus is nowhere close to being more over than Roode</p><p> </p><p>

He had one of the worst title reigns in wrestling history as his first main event run compared to Roode who has been a top guy in TNA for years.</p>

Maybe drop TNA's finances a bit?

 

Problem with lowering TNA finances is that they release about 12 wrestlers in the first few days of the game. This was the reason I originally gave for giving them $5m so I'm not going to drop their finances just yet unless people are ok with the likes of Zema Ion, Jessie, Tigre Uno & Ethan Carter III all being released from the company on day 3.

Magnus is nowhere near as over as Roode or Aries. His championship reign was a joke and I'd say he is one of the only Champions where having the belt actually made him lose popularity and look weak. A title does not mean you're over.

 

I agree with Kane & Mark Henry overness changes though so have done those. Batista will stay at 75 as I think that is acceptable - still makes him a main eventer.

[Silva]

- Remove Takashi Iizuka from CHAOS and add him to Suzukigun.

[MrCanada]

<p><strong>CHIKARA Stuff:</strong></p><p>

- combatANT is no longer wrestling. Likely done for good, at least retired if not Left the Business (as with most things Chikara could likely be under a new hood, but who knows?)</p><p>

- Ice Cream Jr. & El Hijo de Ice Cream were long assumed to be Mike Quackenbush & Hallowicked. It's also been kind of known that the gimmicks are also kind of like Doink and can bump around a tiny bit (since the match quality often doesnt matter) I'm not sure if the gimmicks will keep up or not with the relaunch or how you want to handle it, but worth noting.</p><p>

- Dr. Cube is actually Dr. Cube II. While other gimmicks seem to get passed around (Equinox!), the original Dr. Cube was "destroyed" and the new one is openly acknowledged as Dr. Cube II.</p><p>

- assailANT is now Worker Ant. The original Worker Ant gave his gimmick to Green Ant, but Green Ant decided to stay himself and gave the gear/gimmick to assailANT.</p><p>

- Soldier Ant (Drew Gulak) returned as part of "The Flood" massive heel group (basically consisting of every heel in Chikara) and is now a rudo.</p><p>

- Sinn Bodhi is no longer associated with The Baitri, and the Baitri are faces.</p><p>

- Sinn Bodhi is now in a group with Oliver Grimsly & Oliver Grimsly (the duo is called The Odditorium, but the trio technically has no name)</p><p>

- Gekido is now just deviANT & 17 (who returned at You Only Live Twice, though not 100% sure its the same guy), technically, as a team and no longer a group.</p><p>

- While not sure, I would be pretty confident in maybe suggesting the removal of Estonian ThunderFrog. He started working the same time as Proud Oak (who is Archie) so it would be very easy to assume he is another more established worker who donned a new mask to work in the Wresting Is, promotions more freely. I'd maybe assume the same with Lithuanian Snow Troll as well.</p><p>

- Eddie Kingston is likely done with Chikara after dropping his belt to Icarus.</p><p>

- Might be worth adding deviANT to The Colony: Extreme Force. He often is with them as a manager anyway.</p><p>

- The Flood members: The Leader (yet unnamed, big Darth Vader-esque guy), Ares, Nokken, Tursas, Milo Schnitzler, Blaster McMassive, Flex Rumblecrunch, Max Smashmaster, Arctic Rescue Ant, Missile Assault Ant, Orbit Adventure Ant, Oleg the Usurper, The Shard, Jigsaw, Jaka, Qefka The Quiet, Oliver Grimsly, Jimmy Jacobs, Sinn Bodhi, Dr. Cube II, Sidney Bakabella, 17, deviANT, Soldier Ant, Delirious (probably missed a few)</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Any chance of getting some Canadian indy love? I know it might be hard to actually add a promotion, and over the last couple years, I know the Ontario scene has gotten very sporadic (and all of Canada in general), but there are some pretty decent sized players missing. Considering Michael Elgin got his start here, a lot of these guys might be next:</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=7216" rel="external nofollow">Ethan Page</a> (works AIW, been on Evolve and even ROH in the States, an indy worth maybe adding as they are semi-consistent)</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=1331&name=Tyson+Dux" rel="external nofollow">Tyson Dux</a> (Worked for TNA, ROH, a staple up here who had a hand in training the people you all love like Sabin, Shelley, Williams, Elgin, ect.)</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=6021" rel="external nofollow">Josh Alexander</a> (Was part of the Elgin crew that seems to tour around together, but moved west to train with Lance Storm, apparently)</p><p> </p><p>

As for a promotion to add and maybe thus more workers, Smash Wrestling seems to be a fit out of Ontario at least. <a href="http://www.cagematch.net/?id=8&nr=992" rel="external nofollow">LINK</a>. Its actually run by Sebastian Suave with the help of Elgin & Ethan Page I believe. Roster has the likes of Kevin Steen, Matt Cross, Johnny Gargano, Chris Hero, Michael Elgin, Cherry Bomb, Gregory Iron, the Super Smash Bros, and more semi-regulars.</p>

I don't disagree with anything you've said persay, but keep in mind being made to look weak or losing consecutive matches has nothing to do with overness either. That's able to be accounted for with momentum, and recent fortunes now.

CHIKARA is getting massively redone this weekend. Most of the stuff on your list I've either done or is on my to do list... I watched Ashes of CHIKARA and You Only Live Twice over the weekend which is why not much got done on this

 

As for Canada, I won't have time to get any in for Junes release. I wasn't intending to add any more promotions in the future as I'm struggling to keep the ones I've got in there already up to date but I could make an exception if I can get some help with it in terms of pushes, styles & gimmicks. I just don't have time to research it all and keep what I have up to date. I should be able to get the 3 guys you mentioned in, once CHIKARA is done.

[MrCanada]

Just stumbled upon a useful piece of info while poking around.

 

Apparently "17" is Kyle Matthews. Based on body type, the little you can see through the 17 mask (bushy eyebrows, beard), and the fact 17 wears full sleeves (this is generally done to cover tattoos and such, which Matthews has), it seems more than likely to be the case.

 

Figure might be worth running with at least, since you have something to base 17 on.

Jervis Cottonbelly is (or at least was originally) played by Vin Gerard, the original Equinox. But it seems while that was kind of known, recently people think a new student may have taken over the role, but as Chikara can lead to annoying crap with updates, going on the Vin Gerard assumption might be worthwhile.

 

If you've ever heard Estonian Thunderfrog talk it seems its likely Icarus. Same voice. Explains how Icarus wrestled during the hiatus, without being Icarus.

 

Saturyne ditched her mask and gimmick and is now Hania "The Howling" Huntress. Seems she may have had a falling out with Quackenbush (Quack apparently cheated on his wife with her, which is what led to the Chikara hiatus to begin with as divorce/seperation = no money).
