Were there any characters taken out from the transition from 2013 to 2016? I remember a Ice Cube looking guy I used to use. I don't think I can find him.

Is there a Kings Road stable overlay? Or did I just mess something up with the download?

<p>So how hyped am I about the release of the Thunderverse? How about "making an image for a diary that will most likely never happen" hype?</p><p> </p><p>

<p>I think the best change to AWF is that Sharif Awar has the potential to become the face of wrestling, and he's Arabic - possibly Muslim (I'll pretend he's Muslim). While the 'All-American Poster Boy' Timothy Hawk is in perfect position to get that heel turn. I'd also give Silva Dolla face turn and probably toss in Travis Stine as a major heel. Really wish Towerblock and Mountain Albert had permanently retired so I could bring in new monster heels, at this point I would just Kane/Big Show them and have them appear at Battle Royals, Royal Rumbles and occasional episodes to chokeslam some poor chap. </p><p> </p><p>

I'm actually rolling with PWI though, my goal is to destroy all sports entertainment companies (even though Allman Entertainment is pseudo-sports entertainment). I picked the GAW guy as my character, I think he can pull a sort of promoter role where he's able to center PPV events around these big huge match-ups. So instead of it just being another Night of ______, he's selling you on the two brothers, one the champion who took advantage of being on his own for once, and the other the one who was left behind, they face off for the first(?) time ever for the greatest prize in all of wrestling. Then you fill the undercard with other hype matches, you build it up to the PPV with press conferences, teaser tags, hot take one v one interviews. I think that's probably how I'm gonna go forward with it, in a sort of UFC-esque fashion. </p><p> </p><p>

I'm also gonna take notes from WWE with their expansion. New dev company called Pro Wrestling Spirit (I need to find a better acronym for PWS tbh) will bring in a lot of foreign talent to really help us getting into the other markets. Big thing will be to make enough money for that nice Subscription network for PWS to take advantage of.</p><p> </p><p>

PWI is also down SQ wise, you've got the talent to rectify that but I'm not sure they're really ready. I'd say Scott Hart, Sean Riley, Eli Morton, Martin Van Holt and I guess Tyler Mercury are guys you can push hard to make a comeback in the National Battle (AWF's winninig to start) but some of those guys are capped pretty low (namely Martin/Mercury) and the other guys like Marco DeFrancesco and Go Takashi still need to get that psychology up (I like my main eventers to at least have 70 basics/70 psych, a bonus with PWI is a high top row). I'm bringing in Alejandro, I like the challenge of his shitty personality and it gives me an excuse to bring in Jordan. Alejandro is ready made to get a rush push to the top (I'm thinking of him like ADR both backstage and in ring) and his personality is already too shitty for such a rush push to matter. Sylvain Charles, Travis Stine, Mr. Hawaii are kind of back-up options in that regard. But Alejandro is a much better option than all three. </p><p> </p><p>

Also getting Mike Frobel, Levianthan and Rhyno Khan on dev contracts would be great, they'd all be glorious to watch Eli Morton brawl with. Originally I used to consider Eli Morton as being Brock Lesnar like but his 84 SQ and decent but not great menace makes me think he's more like Jack Swagger if he'd learned to wrestle in Japan. </p><p> </p><p>

I feel like a women's division will be a must for me, if Allman wants to crush AWF, he has to do it in every single way, they've got women wrestling then get that done, you've got Lothario's daughter waiting in the ring to carry you to glory and Alexia Dynamite, Harmony Nolen, Kellie Swimmer, Mai-Li Kato and of course the crowned jewel of women's wrestling, Jess Hart to carry you to glory. Really glad PWI's only got 33 wrestlers, because there's so much talent to sign it's ridiculous. I could find myself starting 20-30 different AWF/PWI/DRAGON/HCG files and finding someone new to push as a figurehead out of the market every time, it's wonderful. </p><p> </p><p>

Biggest sadness is probably the lack of real significant Canadian progress. They're still all just chilling but they've got some great talent so I'll have to pick up a Canadian company and fix that one day. DRAGON, HCG, Gureisu Pro, HONOR are all companies I'd like to try down the line.</p>

[titlebelt]

Thank you for all of your work on this. Will dig in today and update on an AWF game!

[SWF Fan]

<p>Loved playing this all of last night and just getting bugger all past 2 days in with it through just reading...</p><p> </p><p>

On that note...</p><p> </p><p>

It may be too soon, but I know having talked to MHero and being a student who has 4 weeks until he starts his masters and then a ton of free time when not in lessons, I have the energy to do this...</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-size:18px;">1, 2, 3, 4</span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size:18px;">

I DECLARE A DRAFT WAR!</span></p><p> </p><p>

It may be too soon for some but I'll get to putting all relevant info together later, but my main thought is, if you're running a company made up completely, its not going to affect you making draft picks if you're still piecing together the remains of the AWF.</p>

<p>Few minor things for the next version.</p><p> </p><p> - LeRoy Dalton is listed as a former AWF Tag Team Champion alongside V.I.P., it should be Leroy Winters.

[Bungle]

<p>Congratulations on the release!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Just checking for now</p>

[The Celt]

Hmmm, PWSUX has been quite shaken up since the last version. My games are going to turn out very differently to ones I was playing last time.

[Dr_Avalanche]

El Usario Enmascarado is a C popularity in USA and Canada, but between F+ and E- in Mexico. Is this intentional? It seems a bit strange, unless there's a backstory to it.

[jhd1]

Has to be said, I've had little input in this version for the last 4-5 months outside belt renders due to life, the universe & everything, but it's so great to see it finally released!

 

Massive kudos to MH for being able to get the thing complete with over half the team out of action

 

So, now I have to decide.....

 

AMAZON or RAMPAGE?

 

 

Like MJ I've unfortunately not been able to have a huge amount of involvement in this over the past few months. However, the fact that four years after I started the jhdVerse, MHero, and what is really now his team, is now carrying the mod forward is great to see. Well done and thank you everyone involved for all your hard work!

[The Celt]

<p>This is something I should have brought up before, since it was an issue in the last version, but anyway, here we go: </p><p> </p><p>

In Lil Swag's bio, it's mentioned he has great comedic timing. However, his comedy performance is only C-, and road agents will often note his comedic performance will drag down a comedy match instead of improve it. </p><p> </p><p>

He should be buffed, especially as the product of PWSUX requires one comedy match per show, and thus you have to always have around 5 guys minimum who can work a comedy match, and it'd be super handy if Lil Swag was one of those guys.</p>
