Thunderverse 2016 Hype & Pre-Release Thread


Recommended Posts

Just a collection of some of the new things you can expect to see in Thunderverse Diamond. ;)

 


 

 

 



*We're aware some of these were future promotions before. They're playable now. You'll enjoy them.

 


Also of note, I'll run a quick profile on all of the new workers posted in the thread (this includes the new characters on the OP header picture). If anyone has a burning desire to see one detailed first, let us know! :cool:

Without trying to spoil anything, I wonder if I can ask the dev team something?

 

How do you guys the more diverse way broadcasters work will affect T-Verse Diamond?

 

In older versions of TEW, Broadcasters were more rigid, and it felt like you had to be quite high level to even talk to one, but in TEW2016, the "entry point" has been brought much closer it feels, thanks to the option of having monthly shows broadcast.

 

I ask because the Thunderverse has many more cult level promotions than the C-Verse, and a good broadcaster can make or break those kinds of promotions. CWT, in particular, is almost a whole new experience (I would imagine) because of how broadcasters work now.

 

Your thoughts?

...exciting things...

 

Awesome, been gagging for some more Thunderverse info. Total Pro Wrestling/Pro Wrestling Total logo looks neat, can anyone work out the smallprint so the speculation can begin?

 

I really liked the original CWE logo, new one might take some getting used to. Glad that CWE is entering the Thunderverse officially though, should make Europe more interesting. Will be interesting to see if they're the only new promotions, I was kind of hoping we'd see the debut of TXW (those belts are too good for a future promotion). Some lovely renders/logos as always, can't wait to read the profiles for the new workers and incredibly excited to see how the game world has developed. Back to staring longingly at Platinum, wishing I could start a new game, until then.

If FFW's downfall is a result of ATW expanding then I won't be complaining *crosses fingers*. Hope Mammoth and DeVonte Smith have found something interesting to do though.

 


Edit: On an unrelated note I've just been looking through my pic folder and seen the 'Great Ankur' render, but can't find any mention in Platinum. Was the plan for him to be a character in Vice? Great render.

Opened in early 2015, RAMPAGE has attracted a solid mix of big names, such as former PWI stars Manu Samoa & Bobby Ruiz, as well as a number of formerly aimless indy wrestlers from both the US & Japanese scenes, some locally trained rookies and a couple of former MMA stars too! As such, the RAMPAGE roster is somewhat of a melting pot of differing styles, but so far the small company has been doing well in the Hawaiian islands.</div></div></div></div></div></div><p> </p><p>

Haha, cool to see the Vice stuff is getting some use.

RAMPAGE! looks like it'll be fairly interesting, I'm quite glad Bobby Ruiz is gone from PWI, always struggled booking him so it should make PWI games a bit more enjoyable for me, and this looks like a more natural home for him.

 

So you're saying adding Tic Tac Bro to PWI WASN'T the right move?

 

Aw man, six months of arguing for him vs Seb Curtis as a starting storyline down the pan! :(:p

<p>I kind of like Total and how it sounds more like a mix of ATTACK with some Progress sprinkled in, so I'm sure I'll check it out like the ATTACK mark I am. I like the sound of a place for the gimmicky guys to thrive, always used one of the Set to open companies for that (The welsh one, forgot it's name).</p><p> </p><p>

Really liking how the new Thunderverse sounds so far, can't wait to play it!</p>

Kuzuryu

 


"Taking his name from the Japanese deity of the same name, Kuzuryu is a fluid junior worker who is the closest resemblance to a young Prime Dragon seen so far - so much so that even Prime Dragon himself has noticed the similarities! Graduating towards the tail end of 2014, Kuzuryu was the first DIASPORA homegrown talent to be sent down to FKPW for seasoning and on the job training.

 


Forming a seemingly natural rivalry with Red Hawk, the pair have already set tongues wagging with their performances in FKPW so far."

 

 


 

 

 


"The absurd Blue Man is quickly becoming an indie wrestling cult favorite, captivating audiences with his strangely hypnotic body language and wordless promos. His origin began in Philadelphia when local pub owner and wrestler, Charlie Reynolds, worked a local event. Heavily inebriated, he grabbed a blue zentai suit from someone's gym bag and ran to the ring. Stunned (and drunk) fans began to chant, "Blue Man! Blue Man!" - and a local legend was born."
