There aren't really any RL equivalents. You could draw some parallels but that's about it, like, most would say AWF == WWE but that's not 100% accurate.

 

ATW is ICW though, it just is.

What are some of the fed parodies in the thunderverse? Which are the njpws, wwe/f, and all?

So I got some time and a leaking brain, let's go.

 

ATW = ICW as Markw says.

TOTAL = ATTACK

GBWF = Yer da's favourite wrestling, he's going on about how the new era just weren't as tough as Big Daddy again.

 

AWF = WWE if it was ran like a poorly operating sports franchise constantly in need of new owners.

PWI = ROH if Gabe was smart enough to take it national

POW = CHIKARA

WrestleX = CHIKARA on a field trip to a dinosaur museum

DRAGON = Dragon Gate

The Club = Wrestling Society X with a longer life span and 100% more murder

 

UPJ = NJPW

HONOUR = NOAH

DIASPORA = Dragon Gate if Dragon Gate also had heavyweights outside of Shingo and our lord and saviour Takashi Yoshida

LETHAL = BJPW without the Strong Bois

SPLASH! = HUSTLE

Think there's a lot of parallels between SUX and ECW too, perhaps obviously. Certainly in terms of the relationship between SUX/AWF and ECW/WWF.

Oh yeah, I forgot about SUX cause I've blotted them from my mind for ~reasons~.

 

ECXW is pretty much like XPW but with less porn and thumb mutilation too fwiw.

[smurphy1014]

I have always felt like Shimmer would be a good comparison for AWW.

[Bigpapa42]

Haven't had any TEW time of late and probably wont' for a while longer, but maybe over the Christmas break.... Any TEW time over the last while has been with a variation of the WCW Lives 2001 mod that I was either playing or tweaking. But the Tverse beckons.

 

The AWF has been my Tverse go-to for so long but when I actually plug around in the roster.... something about them just doesn't appeal at this point. Leaning heavily toward PWI. As I've complained before, I typically find that trying to stay true to the Allman way is limiting, but my approach is that Allman is pressured by sponsors and networks to be more widely appealing, so he's forced to add in a bit more character and storyline stuff. Without abandoning the in-ring importance. Makes me feel much better about signing some talent that are as much about character as talent.

 

The hard part of any Tverse save for me is limiting the signings. There is just too much appealing talent. One of the things that is fun to plan is adding a cruiserweight division - some real fun possibilities coming up with masked characters.

<p>I'm usually into mid 80s to mid 90s mods, but I'm looking to get back into Tverse. I usually do big, sports entertainment based games and I'm looking for a change in pace.</p><p> </p><p>

So, what's your favorite Tverse fed and why? What's your "go to" fed?</p>

[Bigpapa42]

<p>I've talked about this a few times in here, but....</p><p> </p><p>

The AWF has long been my go-to promotion in the ThunderVerse. I've always liked quite a bit of their talent, and the whole vibe of the company just appealed to me - a rich fan's tribute / ripoff of the WWWE but with such an open future. Great potential. It always felt like you could take it in so many possible directions. This is especially true as there has been an ownership change, and even though that cost the company one of their top stars, it creates new possibilities. The addition of FAW and the Be a Star talent just makes it all the more appealing. </p><p> </p><p>

In a way, being an SE company could make the AWF feel a lot like what you've been booking. But its a smaller company, and its ripe for a new direction. the main problems I have with running the AWF are that I don't love the setup of the women's division, and i have a hard time not signing every interesting prospect / character there is. </p><p> </p><p>

PWI didn't really appeal for a long time. It wasn't the company itself, or the talent. It was the backstory. Shane Allman building up this little company was a great narrative, but when I tried to book them, I felt limited by his "vision" of what PWI should be. But I've come around on that a bit, and its kinda cool to have a company that hasn't existed in the US for almost thirty years - a serious, performance-based company with a national profile. </p><p> </p><p>

The smaller promotions have a ton of interesting dynamics going on. Just depends on what particular company dynamics appeal. The ThunderVerse also makes fertile ground for a custom promotion. At one point, I toyed around with creating my own promotion - Progress Wrestling, stealing the logos and such from the real company - with Casey Skym as the owner. Its really easy to load up on good young talent.</p>

[Markw]

PWSUX was always my go to promotion, in the JHDverse they had a lot that really stood out to me (13TEEN, Cross, Mikey Melancholy, Ram Diablo (love Ram), Seven Brandt). They've lost me a little with some of the talent raids (although Butcher is a beautiful addition), so I probably don't gravitate to them quite so much any more.

 

ATW much like their real life inspiration, are great. And have the added bonus that you can get a national TV deal right at the start if the game if you're so inclined. Jack Dennis is one of my favourites. They've got some really nice variety with their roster, but all fit the general vibe.

 

DRAGON's great too, brilliant talent, brilliant stables. The link to DIASPORA giving you access to a ton of extra great talent you can bring in. And then there's the brilliant PWI with its more traditional work rate heavy form of entertainment, amazing roster, and interesting backstory.

 

There's really no way you can go wrong. Hope that's helped you narrow it down to one... or not.

[Pacable]

I'm a fan of the PWI/AWF war so I rather not intrude on any and let the TVerse take care of the states, I usually go a different direction with GPRO as they're hella fresh!! I enjoy signing my own roster and going with my own vibe, although said to be Canda's POW, limiting it to no more than 1 match segment a show! A few talent trades also have helped

[BigINMoldova]

<p>A lot of my strategy as UPJ has just been "Hey. remember those people you loved who left because of the Matsumoto Brothers? Well, guess what? They're Back."</p><p> </p><p>

Eli Moton and Waotoka Eda have won the tag titles. Iglesias and Sean Griven have formed a tag team.</p><p> </p><p>

Burning Toyotomi and Minamoto are probably coming back</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

It's a big old UPJ family reunion.</p>

[Sigilistic]

I've been watching Lucha Underground on Netflix, so naturally that's where my head is right now. Luchador Fight Club is a pretty thinly veiled and shameless ripoff of LU, but I don't mind. I feel like there's a wide open spot for it, especially since The Club has gone on the decline. I really enjoy the seasonal booking format; I book nine months (Sept.-May) on, three months off, with each season then further divided into four nine-week narrative arcs.

Hi.

 

Brand new to the game, love it. I am relatively new to modding and pc gaming.

 

I downloaded the Thunderverse mod and was able to install the data base. I thought I installed the picture file as well, but every time I start a new game NONE of the pictures have been loaded, that creepy mannequin face is every person's picture.

 

Am I dragging my picture file to the wrong folder??? I have watched a couple of tutorials on installing the mod and have no idea what I am doing wrong.

 

Love the game! Can't wait to play it with the mod!

[MrJeeps]

I Did It. Now I Am Ready To Start Drawing Some Dimes.

 

Where Do I Begin????? Aaaahhhhh

[Tiberious]

<p>Hello folks, been quite a while since I posted on the forums. Hadn't had any interest in TEW or wrestling in general for quite a while, but recently stumbled across a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/Showbuckle/videos" rel="external nofollow">youtube channel by a guy named Showbuckle</a> which got me interested in checking out some of the recent NJPW shows. This in turn inspired me to get back into TEW, and since the Thunderverse has always been a favorite of mine I decided to start up a new game as DIASPORA.</p><p> </p><p> I'm about a month and a half into my game and enjoying it so far. I've made quite a few signings, most of them being Heavyweights since that division is in an absolute dire state at the start of the game.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="MHero" data-cite="MHero" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41411" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>DIASPORA = Dragon Gate if Dragon Gate also had heavyweights outside of Shingo and our lord and saviour Takashi Yoshida</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I would personally view them as kind of a hybrid of NJPW and Dragon Gate; though the New Japan influence is primarily in the structure of having separate Heavyweight and Junior Divisions. That's at least how I've tried to book it to a degree.</p><p> </p><p> I'm planning to add a few more tournaments/titles, though I'm not entirely sure about these ideas.</p><p> </p><ul><li>I'm planning having a Young Lion Cup with guys from my Developmental wrestling for main roster spots. This is the only idea I'm real set on with Kuzuryu being the obvious choice for a winning Junior, and maybe Gao Xi as the Heavyweight.<br /></li><li>I want to have a big tournament, but I'm not sure if I'd have it be a normal tournament, blocks ala the G1, or a World Cup Style with Blocks and then a tournament.<br /></li><li>An open-weight trios title might be fun, and a way to give a chance for Heavyweight and Juniors to wrestle each other in a match for a title.<br /></li><li>Maybe some kind of tag team tournament? I was thinking about having a mixed tag (Heavyweight and Junior) tournament, but I'm not entirely sure how you'd get it to feel important; maybe the winners get contracts to challenge for the Junior/Heavyweight Titles at one of their three big events of the year?<br /></li><li>Some wackier Dragon Gate style stuff? I don't actually watch Dragon Gate regularly so I might need to do some research or get some suggestions for this one.</li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> But overall my game is going pretty well. I just ran my second PPV, Road to the Wrestling Festival which is a new one I made for Week 2 February; with most of the matches as set-ups for the bigger show at the end of the month.</p><p> </p><p> <img alt="RmpuR0D.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RmpuR0D.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li>BURNING Toyotomi vs Junichi Matsuo was mostly thrown together to give Toyotomi a win before he challenges Nori for the title at the end of the month, but they had great Chemistry as opponents. I was planning on having Matsuo join PULSE since it's the only unit he really fits, but now I'm thinking of delaying that and getting 1 or 2 more big singles matches out of them. It's his first singles loss in DIASPORA, so I might run a storyline where he's desperate to avenge his loss and keeps trying crazy new moves and counters. He won't actually win of course since BURNING Toyotomi is the 2nd most over guy on my roster, but he'll impress him enough for Toyotomi to praise him after the match and get offered a spot on his stable.<br /></li><li>Crimson Terror are the next challengers for Sairento & Zodiac's tag titles, so they get a win over some of the lower card junior teams.<br /></li><li>Strong Style Soldiers is the team of Nobohisa Yasutaka and Ukon Kajahara whom I signed away from HONOUR. They're undefeated as a unit, but seem to have no interest in joining forces with anyone else and are conspicuously stable-less heading into their title match against SHIMIKuma at the end of the month. Aces & Kings aren't long for my roster since I have a couple of ideas for OMURA; both of which involve me jettisoning Rick Thunder into a black hole. The first idea is Butcher Hachirobei and Crimson Matsuka recruiting him into Crimson Denizens on the basis of their shared history of bloody hardcore violence. The second idea would be for him to join a new stable I have planned (more on that later.)<br /></li><li>Eikichi Minamoto is challenging Christian Prophet at the end of the month, but first he had to survive an encounter with the monstrous Butcher Hachirobei who joined Crimson Denizens in January and already carved a path of destruction. While the feud is technically heel vs heel, Minamoto was the clear babyface here as the Butcher destroyed his injured knee and beat the holy hell out of him; Minamoto only managing to escape with a win after Crimson Matsuka's interference backfired and he ended up blinding Bucher Hachirobei with a fireball. The 80 rated match is quite remarkable considering the two have negative chemistry together.<br /></li><li>Throwaway stable multi-man match.<br /></li><li>Silver Kings once again victorious over PULSE, defeating New Solution last month and the team of HUSTLE Umiro & Zeshin Kusatsu this time. Sairento & Zodiac are two of my "elite four" Juniors (along with Hiroto Nori & BURNING Toyotomi), so them holding the tag titles is an interesting predicament. Thankfully there's so much junior talent that I can get away with keeping them out of the singles picture for a while, but I'm not sure how I'm going to get the titles off them. Beating Sairento probably wouldn't be a smart business decision since he is by far the most over worker in the company, but if I have them drop the titles without losing it would negate all the effort they've put into making the titles feel important.<br /></li><li>SHIMIKuma defeat the fairly new pairing of Richie Santana Jr and Okitsugu Hiroyuki, the two second generation workers being aligned with the Silver King stable on the basis of their heritage.<br /></li><li>The Semi-Main saw Christian Prophet retain his title by defeating RIKU, and if I remember correctly I think the match was hit with a penalty for poor announcing. Unfortunate as their simply aren't any top level announcers who can work in Japan *CoughYouCanChangeThisMHeroCough*, so this is one of those penalties I'm just going to have to live with.</li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <img alt="st3DCv6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/st3DCv6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> Shintaro Hideki had consistently been delivering high performance scores in his tag matches so I decided to test the singles waters by giving him a title shot in this lesser event, and build to the title match between Nori and his unit leader at the end of the month. The match itself was slightly disappointing in it's match rating due to a lack of psychology, but in terms of individual performance he absolutely killed it. Even setting aside chemistry the fact that he outperformed Nori, one of the best juniors in the world, is pretty astounding; especially when you factor in that he has 66 overness to Nori's 78.</p><p> </p><p> You'd think main-eventing a show with a performance like that, even in a losing effort, would gain him popularity, but alas TEW says otherwise. Still, I'm planning on pulling the trigger on him soon; possibly by having New Solution be the ones to beat Sairento & Zodiac for the tag titles. Ideally I'd want them to get up to the 70s in popularity first, but I seem to have some real trouble getting guys to actually gain popularity passed a certain level no matter how good their matches are. </p><p> </p><p> I'm also planning on having them split off from pulse eventually since between them, BURNING Toyotomi, HUSTLE Umiro, and eventually Junichi Matsuo they have more than their share of Juniors in Title Contention level. I'm thinking that perhaps after BURNING Toyotomi wins the title off Nori they'll end up contending with him for the title, and create friction in the unit. I'm thinking that New Solution will form a new unit he HONOUR Guys (Nobohisa Yasutaka & Ukon Kajahara) based around a sort of no frills, no gimmicks required attitude; a bit antithetical to PULSE, but not an outright heel stable since we have 2 of those already.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Sorry to make such a long post about my game, but I'm having a blast with this save and felt like sharing.

Let me do the main roster signings by stable</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#8B0000;">Crimson Denizens</span></strong> - With only 3 starting members, they were one of my early targets for expansion.</p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Butcher Hachirobei</strong> - He's a surprisingly good worker considering he's known as a deathmatch guy, and as LETHAL's biggest star he's over enough to immediately be a championship contender which is very important given how desperate for talent DIASPORA is at Heavyweight.<br /></li><li><strong>Crimson Matsuka</strong> - Aside from his somewhat worrying safety rating Matsuka's a pretty good worker and a perfect fit for the Crimson Denizens. At 37 he's a bit old, but I think he'll be a solid midcard/tag team player for a few years at least.<br /></li><li> <strong>Dark Wolf II</strong> - Solid Junior worker with an appropriate gimmick. Right now he's the stable's lowest rung member, but I'm planning to pair him up with Blood Spider Jr in a tag team once I feel ready to push Death Smile into singles title contention.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#4B0082;">PULSE</span></strong> - They're stacked with talented Juniors, but could use some Heavyweight help. I'm considering bringing in <strong>ICHIBEI</strong> to join them down the road after he takes part in a Young Lions Cup.</p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Junji Goto</strong> - I signed him on a touring contract, but I'm unsure if that will allow me to resign him since he's a freelancer. I'm pairing him up with Bunrakuken Togo since both guys were Olympic athletes, and because I wanted to shift RIKU out of the tag team ranks.</li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#4169E1;">Silver Kings</span></strong> - With three of their five members in steep time decline (thankfully Zodiac and Sairento were spared) the Silver Kings could use some help, but finding wrestlers not in decline who fit the concept of a accomplished veteran unit is a bit of a challenge.</p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Graham Mackenzie</strong> - as a 39 year old UK Legend who spent ten years in Japan I felt he could fit the stable's identity pretty well. Him being up their with Scott Hart as far as best technical wrestler in the world doesn't hurt either. Sorry MHero.<br /></li><li><strong>Richie Santana Jr </strong>- He may not have created a legacy for himself just yet, but as the son of an all time great I felt he would be a good fit as someone the unit has taken under it's wing.<br /></li><li> <strong>Okitsugu Hiroyuki</strong> - isn't actually a new signing, but rather my first developmental call up who like Santana has a strong family legacy. They have been teaming together for a few weeks now, though he's caused a few backstage incidents and hasn't been delivering at the level of his partner. If he fails to progress I may have to re-evaluate whether he's worth a spot on the roster.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <span style="color:#FF0000;"><strong>Elite Destiny/World Elite</strong></span> <span style="font-size:8px;">(Not the one lead by Eric Young)</span> - With 3 Juniors and 3 Heavyweights, and no one in time decline, Elite Destiny starts off with the most balanced roster. The only area they felt lacking in was a full time Junior Tag Team. Nori is a singles star, and I just don't feel Corvis Jones & Soh Terajima as a team; tbh I don't feel Terajima as anything other than the guy who eats pins in a tag team.</p><p> </p><p> In the end I ended up signing a number of Gaijin talent to the stable, and decided to brand them as World Elite; a sub-faction within Elite Destiny lead by Corvis Jones.</p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Derek Grace</strong> - Despite having no popularity in Japan I'm a fan of him and figured that he would be able to get over pretty quickly with some good performances. Unfortunately a team with Jones was scuttled due to chemistry issues and I had to rethink things.<br /></li><li><strong>Fergus Storm</strong> - With a Jones/Grace tag team ruled out I decided to poach Fergus Storm from HONOUR and have him team with Grace instead. His history with Graham Mackenzie could be interesting down the line, but unless I move him to middleweight they probably won't be interacting much.<br /></li><li><strong>Sean Girven </strong>- Skilled youngsters are in short supply in DIASPORA's Heavyweight Division, so Girven seemed like a good choice to add some depth to the division; helps that he has enough popularity to immediately slot in as a midcarder. I did change his picture to one of the free pictures as there's something about his look I wasn't a fan of. He also has a couple of buddies I may bring in down the road.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="color:#708090;">Unaffiliated</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><strong>Junichi Matsuo</strong> - He seems like a perfect fit for PULSE, but if I had him join up then 5 of my top 8 Junior Wrestlers would all be in one unit. For now he's stable-less trying to prove he's more than just all flash with singles matches against top juniors; most recently a show-stealing performance against BURNING Toyotomi.<br /></li><li><strong>Nobuhisa Yasutake & Ukon Kajahara</strong> - I poached these two from HONOUR to further expand my heavyweight division. I didn't feel like they fit any of the existing units, but I have plans for them down the road. Currently they're undefeated as a team and I plan to have them beat SHIMIKuma for the Heavyweight Tag Team titles at the Wrestle Festival.<br /></li></ul><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> 2. Not yet, but I plan to. For the tournaments I have planned I'd love to bring in some DRAGON talent. Ryotaro Naruto can slot immediately into a Top level junior program, and they have a ton of other talent whom would be fun to book. For example I might bring in Trent Brooker and/or Alexander Ridgeway for my upcoming Young Lions cup.</p><p> </p><p> Some sort of Cross-Promotional show might be fun, though I'd have to figure out a way to book it that doesn't make DRAGON's guys look weak even though most of them aren't well known in Japan.</p><p> </p><p> I've considered an Alliance Title, but I'm not sure what I'd even call it; DIASPORA International Title? Zodiac Dragon Global? I'd take any suggestions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> 3. So far I haven't kicked anyone out of a stable, but I do have some shakeups in mind.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">1. I might have Nori clean house in Elite Destiny after he has a melt-down post title loss. Have him put everyone except for him and Eikichi Minamoto in a sort of Dragon Gate DOA style elimination match where it'll eventually come down to just 2 remaining wrestlers and the loser is kicked out. Soh Terajima would be the one to go, but I can plant some seeds here for a future stable split with the World Elite guys clearly working together against their Japanese stable-mates. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Soh Terajima's future is being part of the unofficial job-squad alongside Kan Mitsubishi and the Forgotten, but maybe I'll have him go crawling back to the Crimson Denizens, his former stable, to be their whipping boy. Hopefully it's just figuratively, but with some of the psychos they've brought in who knows.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 2. I'm planning to have Junichi Matsuo and ICHIBEI join PULSE, but in turn New Solution (Shintaro Hideki & Kotei Yamato) leave out of frustration with too many people in the unit not taking things seriously and goofing around in matches. They'd then form a brand new unit alongside the until now unit-less Nobuhisa Yasutake & Ukon Kajahara. The new group would be a no-frills, no-gimmicks or colorful outfits affair; though I have yet to pick out a name for the group. This would be my chance to pull the trigger on New Solution as single stars; Hideki in particular has impressed me with his performances. It would also help create more interesting match-ups since I wouldn't have so many of my best Juniors in the same unit.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> 3. I hate Rick Thunder with the fiery passion of 1,000 suns, so I'm planning on breaking up his tag team and have OMURA either embrace his deathmatch roots by joining Crimson Denizens or revert to using his full name and show off his excellent technical skills in the new stable lead by New Solution; probably the latter since I'm considering calling KOKI up from Developmental to join Crimson Denizens and that would put them at four heavyweights already.</div><p></p>

Playing as AWF in the TVerse.

 

Brand new game, and I'm just getting back into TEW after a long absence. So I'm hoping for the best.

 

I'm leaving the default storylines as is with one addition of Ricky Fyre to the Cross v Core Story. I don't really care for Fyre. this story is more to establish the new Stable of Cross, Core, Havok, and the recently added Mountain Albert. Basically, Core losing his mask to Cross also causes Core to lose everything else, and he aligns with his new master in Cross. Albert I've felt has been lost in the shuffle since losing the belt way back when, and I'm hoping that a teaming of Core, and Albert will get him back on track. Havok is in there for someone to put over the top guys feuding with Cross as any given moment. The name of this group you ask... The ever original "CrosSroadS" (Bolded & Italicized for good measure.)

 

Using the Rollins v South Feud to cement Rollins as a top guy because why the hell not.

 

And of course Hawk v Dolla Club. The Face chasing the Heel to get back the title that was stolen from him. Pro Wrestling at its finest. I've added Joe Havana to the Dolla Club as he does team with Mo Fury (not sure why he isn't a member from jump street as I see him as The Rock in the Nation.) so that I can involve The Specialists on the side of Hawk, and make for a bunch of TV Mains that lead to PPV Classics!!! (Really building myself up disappointment again.)

 

The Real reason for this game though....

 

I'm finally going to make Silverback the biggest Superstar in all the land!!!

<p>So inspired by a new love for wrestling thanks to NJPW, I've decided to run a save with UPJ.</p><p>

Problem is... I've never ran a Japanese company before in any TEW game or mod. Usually go the way of SE. But I can muddle through and have a bit of fun. Probably shouldn't start as big as UPJ but I can trial and error for a bit. </p><p>

So... Anyone got any hints or tips for playing as UPJ?</p>

I don't have TEW open right now but going on memory your top stars are Kintaro Kinjo, Erik van Rijn, Oda Yamawaki, Juro Deguchi, Kato, and Waotaka Eda.</p><p> </p><p> Kintaro Kinjo - Tanahashi-esque, but not as beat up. Your greatest asset. His psychology at the start of the game isn't amazing, but with time and some luck it'll improve enough for him to be the Ace of the Universe.</p><p> </p><p> Erick van Rijn - The leader of your version of the Bullet Club; though it has to be said he's not as good a worker as Devitt, AJ, or Kenny. Still hes young and has a ton of potential, and should grow into the top spot he's been given.</p><p> </p><p> Oda Yamawaki - Another young Star getting a rocket push while not quite being all there in the ring. You could compare him to a young Okada, since he's someone the Management have gambled on hard; though without as clear cut of a character.</p><p> </p><p> Juro Deguchi - Nakamuraesque veteran. At 40 hes a little old, but he's a great ring general who could have several more years on top depending on time decline. His excellent psychology makes him especially valuable to carry and teach your other wrestlers.</p><p> </p><p> Kato - Basically Ibushi, but a full timer. Hes one half of ignite zero, a fantastic tag team, so he has that to fall back on.</p><p> </p><p> Waotaka Eda - I see him in the Hirooki Goto-esque position as a good wrestler who's not quite good enough to be a top top guy and likely to be surpassed by younger guys.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> As for actually playing the game I'd recommend taking advantage of your wealth to bully your competition. DIASPORA and HONOUR are at war with you, so make a special effort to poach talent from them. Most of their talent is on PPAs, though unfortunately a lot of their best guys are loyal. A developmental wouldn't be a bad idea either. Since you have the money edge you may want to increase production values to force them to match you and lose money (which they have less of) or take a big hit to their show ratings and hurt their growth.</p><p> </p><p> For booking Id advise a lot of 3 and 4 man tags. These are useful for letting less experienced workers learn, and and avoid giving away big singles matches on lesser shows. Heavyweights are your bread and butter. Getting good junior workers is nice, but DIASPORA has nearly all the best Juniors, so youre probably better off sticking to what you're good at.</p>

The Official Not Asked For Game Update!?!

 

My CrosSRoadS stable is coming along nicely (Cross

(L)

, Core, Mountain Albert, and HavoK) having decimated Ricky Fyre leaving him momentum-less for the moment

(Really don't care for this guy.)

And now have set their sights on the embodiment of heroism in AWF, Timothy Hawk. How this war came to pass...

 

Timothy Hawk was in a battle of wills with current AWF World Champion Silva Dolla and his Dolla Club. Having been bested by Dolla Club Mammoth Tyrannus at every turn, Hawk looked like his fire was starting to fizzle going into the title match at the PPV before finding a way to topple the beast making it somewhat even.

 

And we've arrived... It's title match o'clock... Hawk is poised to get another run with the gold in his illustrious career... He has Dolla on the ropes... Enter Cross with the distraction allowing Dolla to roll up Hawk, and save his title once more. And in the world of professional wrestling, only one thing is more important than title belts...

Sweet sweet revenge!

 

So here we are, a brand new group of terrorizers looking to kill AWF from within, and the golden boy stepping up to stop them. Where do we go from here?

Straight to the top!?!

 

Which begs the question... What about Dolla and the World Title? Who will stand to the Dolla Club? I'll tell you who...

That blue-collar-put-his-pants-on-one-leg-at-a-time-American-Bad-Mamma-Jamma

Pa

tri

ot

, that's who!!! Having watch Dolla and his cronies run a muck all over AWF, Patriot has had enough, and wants a shot at the title as well, and so has stepped up to the plate to take down the Club. And with Tyrannus, and Avalanche in the wings, Patriot has more than enough keesters to kick!!!

 

In other news, Derrick Rollins and Garrett South are still locked in their battle... Not much to report here. South is up 2-1 in the best of 5 series.

 

Sharif Awar has taken it upon himself to take a bite out of the upper echelon of AWF by challenging J-C-G to a match which I'm hoping with showcase the young guys skills if not build on them while making use of an unfortunately declining J-C-G. Not sure if I want to turn Awar, and use that as a vehicle to bring up Ankur from Development, but we'll see how this goes.

 

Theo Barkley has successfully taken the television title off of Merengue which as you can probably imagine has upset the him a little bit, so there is that going on in the midcard. Eventually going to bring up Caleb Adonis and Johnny Moore in a Breezeango-Miztourage hybrid with Merengue which should be fun to book.

 

I have to say, I'm only a little bit into this save but I'm really enjoying this game. It's been awhile since I've actually been motivated to play a game, but the TVerse has a way of doing that to you. So I want to thank all the people who made this mod a reality. Really a triumph with every release.

 

Silverback Update

: He's progressing well in FAW... I really can't wait to make him the biggest star in all the land.

[MrJeeps]

<p>So when new workers get created through the dojos is there any way to change their information? </p><p> </p><p>

I am getting 18-20 year old workers generated who have pictures of 60 year old characters as their image. </p><p> </p><p>

One of them even had Blood Spider's head.</p><p> </p><p>

Definitely breaks the immersion. Any potential fixes/suggestions?</p>

[Bigpapa42]

Yeah, regeneration can be.... interesting. Easiest way is to go into the in-game Editor and change the worker's picture. If they are on a roster, you also need to go into Contracts and change it there as well. The data comes with a decent amount of free pics, and you can download quite a few more. Think I have well over 1K, which includes a bunch of earlier renders for workers who have been updated.
