<p>I haven't downloaded your data to check, but it appears Billy Gunn owns the trademark use of Billy Gunn when WWE's trademark on it lapsed. Just incase you have him under another name outside WWE.</p><p> </p><p>

Starting from September, Danny Garnell is available for Ring Announcing and Commentary, and as he already has 40 colour in your database, might be worth setting him to a colour commentator? (Admittedly, I'm running the March database, but he's set as an active wrestler, but he retired from in-ring in Mid 2015 I believe)

Speaking of generated wrestlers I genuinely have just had a wrestler enter wrestling called <a href="http://imgur.com/a/5foiC" rel="external nofollow">Sex Cummo</a>

<p>I have just finished the employment history for all WWE workers. It's not every appearance for every Indie promotion they ever appeared for, but does show the major companies they have made multiple appearances for, as well as companies in the data that they made more than the odd appearance for. Here is an example;</p><p> </p><p>

I shall move on to NXT next. It will probably be a few companies updated per release as this isn't the most thrilling job to be doing. Thank you goes to TheWho87 for his TEW mod forum which has assisted in me simplifying the histories a little more rather than working it out from Wikipedia & Cagematch.</p><p> </p><p>

This also means the companies (unless they close down) are now locked in for this data as I'm not going to be adding companies by request due to the amount of work that will go into having to find all their alumni and add that company to their history etc.</p>

[TheWho87]

Is there a reason you havent added history for their current employment?

A mere oversight. I shall get it fixed (to be honest I thought I'd done it already).</p>

I love it, Fleisch.

 

I'm also amused by the variety of silly names that have been getting posted here and around the forums. I may need to tweak the names file a bit to tone some of them down, but the aim of that particular file was to add more kayfabe-y names to the game and I like the range that we've been getting. Bump Bump might be my favourite, I could write a silly doofus character around that for a long time starting with their trainer telling them to "bump, BUMP!" and carrying on forever.

I just wish I was good at writing promos for guys. I have so many ideas in my head.

Even if you are just writing out a major segment from a private game and even if it's just for yourself, the process of doing the writing will improve your skills and give you the confidence to write more.

There are only 8000ish names in the data by default and at most around 2000 of those would be available for a first or last name... while the new additions would make up about another 2000 or so possibilities for a 50/50 chance at best for name combinations.</p><p> </p><p> If I tighten up the names at my end (perhaps removing some, changing some to first or last only, maybe narowing the available nationalities) then that could change that a bit... although I think the game would benefit more in general from improving the naming system. I've had numerous ideas for that, which have so far gone nowhere but I could likely make that a lot better as it's actually a pretty easy part of the game to add information to if you are doing it from scratch...</p><p> </p><p> The basic version I've always wanted is for workers to have a fields for "real first name", "real surname name", "kayfabe name" and maybe "kayfabe surname". From there the naming file just needs the ability to distinguish between common names, rare names and kayfabe names and we could create a name file that could create a wealth of interesting data and easily add all kinds of new family relationships for things like randomly generated children of workers and the like. I want it so bad, and I would happily put that file together if it were to become a reality. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png"></p>

[Lukkearthur]

<p>Tuho is now semi active only wrestling 4 matches in the last 4 years and now mostly live streams.</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: Theres rumors that Swedish wrestler Manimal/Conny Mejsel is a bad influence showing up under the influence to shows or just no showing events.</p>

[bro4dway]

<p>Small detail but both Bruce Prichard and Dutch Mantel really should have their Weasel and Heel performance settings improved. They're two of the very best in the history of the business as far as Weasel Heels are concerned so I imagine it was just an oversight and not an intentional choice to have them set as low as they are in the data, which if memory serves is like 50. I bumped both guys up to 90 for each stat, personally.</p><p> </p><p>

Also, I'm super stoked about the employment history thing. It's amazing to see a modern day update start to see this level of polishing. You've definitely set a new standard for mod makers, Fleisch. Thanks for all that you do!</p>

[NoLegsGaming]

<p>David Starr should receive a popularity boost due to his work in Progress and WCPW up to around 15 across the UK and should have about 20 in Central Europe to reflect his position within wXw.</p><p> </p><p>

Lio Rush should also receive a boost across USA up to 25 as he's a former CZW World Champion despite in game being pushed as an opener there due to having 3.7% popularity across the majority of the country.</p><p> </p><p>

Additionally, Gabriel Kidd should have around 12 popularity across the UK and since they've worked there a bit and are now WCPW Tag Champs, War Machine should have 15 each across the nation.</p><p> </p><p>

The Hunters should have contracts as Old School Faces with WCPW, and Jay Lethal should be there as a face too, whilst El Ligero and Gabriel Kidd shouldn't be set to team there, and their team should be deleted.</p><p> </p><p>

I'd also give Liam Slater and Primate 15 popularity in Northern England.</p>

[Lukkearthur]

Beast should be set to a wrestler instead of manager since hes been wrestling more and is now the STHLM Heavyweight champ.

[DatIsraeliGuy]

<p>The Great Khali is back.</p><p>

This is the funniest and saddest few months in WWE</p>

[alpha2117]

Both Nick Aldiss & Matt Morgan have confirmed they are done with GFW.

 

Slightly outside the mods but vaguely interesting news - Carmella, Nia & Alexa have joined total Diva's which I assume means the mighty Buddy Murphy will also appear.
