bizzo2k Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 This is the official first release of my Real Life Mod based on the wrestling scene of late 1933. I had been working on and researching this since TEW2016 first came out and am glad to have a final product before a newer version of TEW. Research Obviously with the time being so far back, the research was quite tedious and less organized than other eras. Almost everything I learned was through other's research that was posted online. This was supplemented with my own archival newspaper research as well as books from or on the time period. Specifically I'd like to mention the following help/websites that I got this info from: Wrestlingdata.com WrestlingClassics.com wrestling-titles.com legacyofwrestling.com wrestlingheritage.co.uk prowrestlinghistoricalsociety.com boxrec.com waprowrestling.weebly.com territorydays.blogspot.com wrestlingclassics.com - specifically the Lou Thesz Forum and many many more. Stats Though the game has over 1400 characters, I probably only seen about 25-50 of them in the ring. So these stats are much more subjective than any other Real Life Mod. For that reason, I have set the game to random variance mode. Obviously the player can change that at their description. Art If you download this Mod, I suggest also getting the Skin and Picture Pacts I made for it. I attempted to use as much authentic art from wrestling posters at the time for all the events and logo pics. More Info I have some background on that time period on the website for this Mod. However if you have any interest in learning more about it there are some books to get in to. The first would be Fall Guys, The Barnums of Bounce, which came out only a few years after this game is set. It has an amazing behind the scene perspective from the time. Also, basically anything from Tim Hornbaker should be required reading for wrestling enthusiasts. Hope you enjoy: New Trust Web Site: The place where you can download all the parts to the Mod, read the hype and watch my silly ad for it. Or if you just want it now, here are the direct links to the files: Database File Picture Pack Rar Picture Pack in Zip Retro Skin Rar Retro Skin Zip If you have any questions, or any links are messed up just let me know.

YoungNoble Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Looks great. I'll give it a run this evening while I watch Survivor Series. Thanks for all the hard work you put in on this. Very unique mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I (along with some others) have been beta testing it for about 10 months, so i actually have added a lot since then. I might take a break from editing (unless there are errors of course) for a bit. Then I can figure if I want to focus on a different year or just expanding to an XL version of this. Maybe both. I would like to do one in 1937 or when the NWA (alliance) formed. </p><p> </p><p> Not sure yet. But if there are any important people you feel I missed, let me know.</p><p> </p><p> Nick</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munit Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Wow what an awesome random mod to come out of the blue. Im excited to test this when I get home. Question is, are the future workers set to a specific date? Or do they keep coming in forever. Example Do we have people like AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, Dean Amrose, Dalton Castle etc?

Fleisch Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 This looks intriguing. I may have to give it a download when I'm home. I've been looking for something a bit different to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for that decade I have 1400 characters, and I believe the next oldest Mod is 1970.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that's something that wasn't as important at the time, so there were not too many. Also being the 1930s, some gimmicks were definitely odd.</p><p> </p><p> I was also surprised about some of the ones I found I would not have thought existed. There was an Evil Dentist, tons of hillbillys and even a space alien. Did I mention that there was a stable of Roughneck Dwarves? They were based off the 7 dwarves from Snow White, a popular NEW movie of the time.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
