That's weird, I was going to make a new thread in the main forum about character submissions this week, just hadn't got round to it yet. Maybe if one of us gets to it we can just share submissions?

I don't see how that'd work out. Our mods are two separate mods, taking place in different years and in our own separate versions of a continued CornellVerse canon.

However people can request their characters be on a promotion's roster, or I might occasionally see a character who'd be a perfect fit for a certain promotion and put them there.

Frankie Dee

</div>

A lightweight powerhouse, Frankie Dee is one of the best workers in the world. Debuting in April 2004, he would go on to have some good matches on the Canadian Indie Circuit, and after gaining experience, he felt he could express himself fully. In 2006, he debuted the character of the "White Angel", dying his hair white and displaying several fake tattoos, and wearing a mask. He portrayed himself as a serious and honorable fighter, and 4C quickly hired him in January 2007. He rose up the card, and in one year he won the 4C Tag Team Championships from Phenomenal E and Duberry Express while fighting alongside Davis Wayne Newton in January 2008. The duo lost the belts in June 2008 to fellow up and comers Jason Thunder & Lightning Lomas. Frankie Dee began chasing after singles gold, eventually winning the 4C Championship from Jacob Jett in November 2009. He lost the belt to Sayeed Ali in September 2010, and wouldn't recapture the belt for some time. In January 2013, he participated in the 2013 Rip Chord Invitational Challenge. He had a sensational match with Roderick Remus, though neither man would win the tournament. Later that year in December 2013, he won the 4C Championship from Antonio Del Veccio to begin his second reign. He lost it in May 2014 back to Antonio, and won it for a third time in August 2015 from Rajah. He would lose the belt in July 2016 to Sayeed Ali. He began working in other COTT promotions via loans, and in December 2016 he won the COTT World Heavyweight Championship from Greg Gauge, becoming the fourth champion. He defended his belt numerous times, and had great matches each time. He even defended it against Frankie Perez while Perez was in CZCW. He lost it in January 2018 to Bulldozer Brandon Smith. At the same time, Frankie Perez announced that by the end of the year, he'd be signing with BHOTWG. However, he wanted to complete some obligations first, and in May 2018, he lost the Coastal Zone Championship to Frankie Dee. This was Dee's debut match for CZCW, and he defended it many times against Perez. In October 2018, he lost the belt to Remmy Skye in a triple threat match against Skye and Perez. Shortly afterwards, Frankie Perez left, and Dee got invited to join WLW to replace Perez as 2019 began. He debuted in WLW under his White Angel gimmick, while also performing for 4C and CZCW under his real name. In August 2019, he beat Americana II to become the World Level Modern Japan Champion. Then in October 2019, he beat George Wolfe to become the second COTT King of The Indies Champion, as a representative for CZCW. As 2019 begins, Dee is mainly wrestling for WLW and CZCW, though he does make occasional appearances for 4C, mostly while defending his KOTI belt. There are rumors that he's being watched by BHOTWG and PGHW, who are looking for a possible tag team partner for Frankie Perez, who is currently paired with American Elemental.

Spencer Spade

</div>

"The Supreme Star" Spencer Spade is one of the SWF's best prospects, and a possible future world champion in waiting. Videos of his training were shown on the internet even before he made his debut, leading to a lot of hype. He debuted in July 2010 for RIPW after graduating from the Supreme Wrestling University. He was the first RIPW USA Champion, winning the belt in February 2011, along 7 months after his debut. He lost the belt to Masked Patriot in August 2011. He then spent the next few years rising up the card, eventually winning the RIPW Championship from Primus Allen in November 2014. He lost the belt to Ekuma in May 2015, but won it back from Ekuma in December 2015. He lost the belt in December 2016 to Scythe. He spent the next year winning matches in RIPW against other main eventers, and was promoted to the main SWF roster in early 2018. Put on the Uprising brand, he was heavily hyped prior to his main roster debut, and he didn't disappoint. He was put in a midcard position, and earned a title match in July 2018 at Supreme Challenge 38, winning the SWF United States Championship (formerly the North American Championship), from Steven Parker. He held the belt until February 2019, when he lost it to Des Davids, but he won it back from Davids in July 2019 at Supreme Challenge 39. As 2019 ended, he was in the crowd on SWF Supreme shows, watching Jack Bruce's matches. In December 2019, Bruce won the SWF Supreme Championship (formerly the World Heavyweight Championship). On the final show of the year, SWF Uprising, Bruce was making a special appearance to cut a promo, telling the young stars on the show that they could be the next Jack Bruce, and that he was the measuring stick that SWF workers were put against. Suddenly, Spencer Spade entered with his United States title, and had a short staredown with Bruce before looking at the Supreme title, and telling Jack "You might be "Mr. Supreme", but I am "The Supreme Star". I'm not going to be the next Jack Bruce. I intend to be the first Spencer Spade. In July, at Supreme Challenge 40, you and me, 1 on 1, for the Supreme Championship.". Bruce smirked, and said "You think you can beat a god?", then he low blowed Spade, turning heel, and hit a New York Minute on him. As the show went off the air, Bruce said "I accept". With 2020 beginning on this feud, fans are hyped to see the 47 year old Bruce face the 29 year old Spade in a match that could be as great as Jack's match against Christian Faith from Supreme Challenge 35.

Scythe

</div>

"The Prince Of Death" Scythe looks to be the SWF's replacement for Skull DeBones. Graduating from the Supreme University in January 2012, he was hired by RIPW and ran through the competition, leading to an RIPW USA Championship win in March 2014 from Richie Riggins. He lost the belt to Avalanche in October 2014. After rising up the card, he won the RIPW Championship from Spencer Spade in December 2016. He then won the 2017 March To Victory tournament, and would lose the RIPW Championship in January 2018 to Hellion, who looked to replace Scythe in RIPW. Scythe won the 2018 March To Victory tournament, then he won it back from Hellion in July 2018, but lost it to Rocky Weatherfield in May 2019. In late 2019, Skull DeBones began hyping an unknown protege, who was revealed to be Scythe in December 2019. In his debut, him and DeBones won the SWF World Tag Team Championships from Primus Allen and Gargantuan. As 2020 begins, many wonder if Scythe will overshadow DeBones and turn heel by betraying him, as DeBones is getting older and is 48, while Scythe is only 28. When Scythe was born, DeBones was a tag champion in TWL as Winchester alongside Sidewinder, who would become Ricky Dale Johnson. This shows how old DeBones is, and in Scythe's debut match, he did most of the work, while DeBones was mostly on the apron. Many believe this could lead to a retirement match for DeBones, and he could be retired by Scythe's hand.

The New Zealand Zodiacs

</div>

Members: Halloween Knight (Leader/APW Commonwealth Champion), SubUrban Legend (APW Australian Champion/APW Tag Team Champion), Pumpkin Jack (APW Tag Team Champion)

In 2018, it became clear that APW wasn't going to survive for a few more years. The company was losing money, and even though they had a TV slot on The Bloke Channel and Australia Options, The Australian Sports Network, which owns RAW, used their money to tell broadcasters that if they aired APW shows, they had to air them in an awful time slot. They used money to bribe these stations, and APW never left the late night or graveyard time slot, compared to RAW's prime time slot on A.S.N., resulting in APW continuing to drop lower and lower in popularity and finances. In In December 2016, Nathan McKenzie was taken by RAW for their developmental company, and the APW Commonwealth Championship was vacant until March 2017, when Richie Fox won it. However, it was vacated again in January 2018 when Fox was injured. In May 2018, in a battle royal for the belt, ZEN's Halloween Knight entered the ring at #30, shocking the crowd. He quickly won the match, and the APW Commonwealth Championship. He then introduced Pumpkin Jack and SubUrban Legend, stating that as ZEN was preparing to push into mainland Australia, they needed to get rid of APW first. In December 2018, Pumpkin Jack and SubUrban Legend won the APW Tag Team Championships, and in January 2019, SubUrban Legend won the APW Australian Championship. As 2019 continued, the group would run through APW's workers, and Halloween Knight even defended both of his titles (the APW Commonwealth and ZEN Master Championships) against Richie Fox. As 2020 begins, and APW is standing on it's final legs, not looking to make it far into 2021, the group continues to dominate APW.

The Original ZEN

</div>

Members: Lone Shark (Leader/ZEN Master Champion), Necromancer (ZEN Harmony Champion), X-Calibre (ZEN Harmony Champion/ZEN Conceptual Champion)

As 2019 progressed, ZEN continued to grow. With a PPV deal in New Zealand and a small TV deal in Japan, plus a working agreement with WLW and an invasion angle with APW, zen's popularity was slowly growing and they looked to expand out of New Zealand. At the same time, some of their original roster members had moved on. Three of those men would make their names in other places like they had in ZEN. In APW, Lone Shark became a popular roster member, but never won a championship there due to being treated like a cartoon character. In WLW, Necromancer also won no titles, but he was talented and got many title shots, and is still continuing to try and win a WLW belt as 2020 begins. In EXODUS 2010, X-Calibre won no belts like the other two men, but was popular and talented. All three men returned to ZEN in late 2019 with one goal: Dominating the roster as ZEN went into a new era. X-Calibre was the original ZEN Conceptual Champion, and Lone Shark and Necromancer also won titles in ZEN during their initial run with the company. In December 2019, all three ZEN titles were up for grabs, and as the three champions stood in the ring waiting for their mystery opponents, Lone Shark, Necromancer, and X-Calibre came out, much to the ovation of the crowd. The match was a special six man elimination tag match. If a champion was pinned, they were eliminated and the wrestler who got the pinfall won the title. If the challenger was pinned, the champion retained their title and eliminated the challenger. In a hardfought match, all three men won the titles. Necromancer was the first, pinning Kalliope Woodchuck to win the ZEN Harmony Championships. Necromancer tagged in X-Calibre. X-Calibre then pinned Thea Davis to win the ZEN Conceptual Championship, and the other ZEN Harmony Championship, making him and Necromancer the tag champions of ZEN. To close the show, and in a hardfought and longer bout than the other two confrontations, Lone Shark beat Halloween Knight to become the ZEN Master Champion. As 2019 ended for ZEN, the three men who'd returned home reigned supreme, holding up their newly won titles for all to see.

Ray Scott

A young worker looking to make an impact, Ray Scott is a 2020 graduate of the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp. Growing up in the Mid-Atlantic region, his family were huge wrestling fans, with Scott considering Rip Chord his personal icon. When Chord opened MAW in 2005, Scott's family attended every show, and Scott would go on to work begin working there when he was 16, helping set up Stanley Hall for MAW shows. He enrolled in the boot camp under Sam Keith, where he trained to become a wrestler. His skills were praised by Keith, who saw him as a future star, and his training was followed by fans of MAW. Making his debut in April 2020 for the promotion he grew up watching, Scott looks to be a future Mid Atlantic Champion.

Elemental IV

The son of MYSTIC Dragon and the grandson of Elemental, Elemental IV is the newest generation of the legendary Elemental mask. His father never used the Elemental name, meaning it would pass on to Elemental III, who is of no relation. Deciding he wanted to become the next Elemental, Elemental IV was trained by all former Elementals, and began preparing for his debut as Elemental III approached the age of 40. With great skills at his young age, it seems likely he'll win a world title sooner or later, and continue the legacy of Elemental.

Buddy Garner Jr

Son of MMA legend Buddy Garner, Buddy Garner Jr was born while his father was working for PGHW. As a result, he lived a bit of his early life in Japan, and learned Japanese at a young age. Deciding to follow in his father's footsteps, he started training while he was a teenager and is now ready to step into the cage and the ring. While his father is now retired, Garner Jr looks to continue his father's legacy, and the big promotions in Japan are all watching him.

Andrew Harper

</div>

A brawler from Staten Island, Andrew Harper has decent potential, and is certainly a better worker than when he first debuted. Discovered by Larry Vessey while working at small shows in high school gyms, Vessey made Harper his new project and hired him to NYCW, where he debuted in February 2012. The fans didn't take to him at first, as he was just a generic looking brawler, but in the summer of 2013 he got a new gimmick where he'd powerbomb people through tables after matches, and this got him some heat. In March 2014, he won the NYCW Tri-State Regional Championship from Animal Harker. He lost it to Bulldozer Brandon Smith in November 2014, but won it back from him in May 2015. He lost it in December 2015 to Crockett Tubbs. He continued wrestling in NYCW, and eventually became the inaugural COTT North American Champion in April 2018, losing the belt to Extraordinario Jr in December 2018. In September 2019, he won his first NYCW Empire Championship, beating Jack Marlowe to win the belt. As 2020 begins, the 30 year old Harper is hoping a larger promotion hires him, but there are no rumors that anyone is looking at him, other than possibly BCG.

Queen Amazon

</div>

The face of OLLIE's luchadora divsion, Queen Amazon is a powerhouse who can destroy her opponents with ease. One of OLLIE's four luchadoras to start their luchadora division, she lost the tournament to crown their first Campeon de las Mujeres, but she did win the belt in November 2011 won Luchadora Original. She traded the belt with Original a few times, losing it to her in March 2012, and winning it back from her in September 2012. She lost it in May 2013 to Aguila Azul Celeste, but won it back from Azul in September 2013. Electric Dreamer took the belt in May 2014, and Queen Amazon wouldn't get it back until September 2015, winning it from Mystery Pink. In early 2016, it was revealed that Amazon was engaged to OLLIE figurehead Gino Montero, and they were married in mid 2016, becoming what wrestling fans called "Mexican wrestling's first couple". She lost the belt back to Pink in November 2016. This was so she could go on maternity leave, and she gave birth to Ramon Montero in July 2017. She returned to wrestling full-time in November 2017, winning the title from Electric Dreamer in December 2017. After making her name in OLLIE and becoming a face of luchadora wrestling, she decided to help luchadora wrestling continue to rise in popularity, by joining FFLL in October 2018 as a part of their inaugural roster. She was crowned the inaugural Campeon de las Mujeres FFLL in November 2018. In January 2019, she lost her title in OLLIE to Aguila Azul Celeste, and in August 2019 she lost her title in FFLL to Estrella Blanca. As 2020 begins, Amazon is now 32 and seems intent on wrestling around the world, with rumors emerging that she'll go to Japan and America to wrestle for 5SSW and AAA, with other rumors suggesting she could fly to New Zealand and join ZEN's integrated roster.

Rina Kasahara

</div>

A powerful joshi wrestler, Rina Kasahara may be quite short but her thick torso and legs mean she can generate tremendous force and is capable of bulldozing most opponents. With her great skillset, 5SSW hired her in 2018 shortly after her debut, and she started an undefeated streak. She won the 5SSW Asian Championship from Raku Makuda in November 2018, and is continuing to rise up the card. Some are wondering if she'll be the one to defeated the reigning 2 time 5SSW World Champion, Tomoko Nagatsuka, who's held the belt for exactly two years in her current reign.

Hammer Hadley

</div>

Scott "Hammer" Hadley is an ultra-muscular wrecking machine from Florida who is noted for his vicious in-ring style. Using an MMA syle of wrestling, he is a tough-as-nails fighter who can pummel anyone who angers him. MAW hired him in 2018 shortly after his debut, and gave him an undefeated streak. This would result in him winning the Mid Atlantic American Championship in July 2018, pummeling Regular Joe to take the title. In late 2018, PGHW booker Shuji Inukai saw some of his MAW matches on tape and hired Hadley. He quickly gave him an undefeated streak in PGHW, something unusual for an American working on a tour contract. This led to Hadley winning the PGHW Historical Championship from fellow American Sterling Whitlock in June 2019. Now with 2020 beginning, there are rumors that PGHW could soon put Hadley on a written contract, especially if TIER 1 or BHOTWG decide to try and sign him.

Sterling Whitlock

</div>

The protege of tag team legend Alexander Robinson, Sterling Whitlock may not be the largest of men, but he is certainly one of the toughest. Robinson trained Whitlock in Canada while he was in-between tours with PGHW, and Whitlock made his debut in July 2011. He began wrestling on the Canadian and American Indie Circuits, and attracted the attention of PGHW, who put him on a touring deal at the start of 2018. He soon won the PGHW Historical Championship in March 2018 from Stone Yoshikawa. He went on an undefeated streak which lasted until he ran into Hammer Hadley in June 2019, in an extremely tough and hardfought match. In November 2019 he was hired to UCW's inaugural roster, but lost the match to crown the inaugural UCW Hardcore Champion to Jerry Martin. As 2020 begins, some are saying Whitlock could be paired with someone and start a team like his mentor did.

Lundinz, who was helping me edit the mod to get it working properly, has effectively disappeared, putting the mod's future in potential jeopardy. While I can edit it all myself, not only will it take a lot of time to do this, I am also not the best at editing worker's skillsets, which is my primary concern. I am asking for any other potential help with editing the mod. At this point, the only thing I'm asking for is to edit worker skillsets so that the mod will work properly. I can certainly get the rest done, which would include employment history, worker loyalty, assigning worker movesets, editing bios, etc., and even if all of that isn't done by release, it can be finished in updates.

ChairToFace · March 19, 2019

As I'm currently editing the mod myself, there will be no regular and daily updates on this thread, since I need to dedicate as much of my time as possible to editing it as good as I can. Of course, I'm not skilled at editing skillsets, so it'll take some time for me to get those done, as I polish them and get them working properly. The four years between 2016 and 2020 means that some workers are going to get worse as they're older, and some better as they're younger, though I've never been good at figuring out how much to change a skillset.

I've gotten the HOI induction dates added, along with the new individual company HOF inductions done. I'm going through the process of editing workers. Employment histories will not include months. Some mistakes have been corrected. Entries aren't going to completely end here. They just won't be happening in a regular schedule. Also, here is a special entry for today regarding the COTT alliance and my plans for it. <div style="text-align:center;"> Confederation Of The Territories: The Rebirth Of Tradition </div> The Confederation Of The Territories alliance has grown massively since it's formation in July 2011. Originally consisting of MAW, NYCW, and CZCW, it was formed by Sam Keith as one of his first acts as owner of MAW. Keith united with NYCW owner Larry Vessey and CZCW owner Cliff Anderson to start an alliance that would allow promotions to have fresh talent regularly and give workers more places to work and gain experience. The alliance was a hit within the wrestling world, with many predicting it could go a long way, especially under Keith's leadership as COTT President. In 2012, 4C and OLLIE joined, making COTT an international alliance. At first, the only work the alliance did involved negotiating alliance loans, which helped produce some spectacular matches. Soon however, it became clear it would need to do more, and in 2014 Sam Keith announced that an inaugural COTT World Heavyweight Champion and inaugural COTT World Tag Team Champions would be crowned. MAW's Bret Starr won the COTT World Heavyweight Championship in July 2014, while CZCW's The American Cobra's won the COTT World Tag Team Championship in November 2014. Since then, those two titles have been held by the best of the best in COTT affiliated promotion's, and champions are considered to be among the best on the Indie Circuit. Since then, Nicolas Lopez, Greg Gauge, Frankie Dee, Bulldozer Brandon Smith, and George Wolfe have held the COTT World Heavyweight Championship, while The Ring Generals, The Dynamite Express, Lightning & Thunder, and The Heartbreak Express have held the COTT World Tag Team Championships. It was eventually decided that the COTT needed to recognize other wrestlers, and in 2018 Sam Keith announced that a new North American and King Of The Indie Championship would be created. In April 2018, Andrew Harper became the first COTT North American Champion, while George Wolfe won the COTT King Of The Indies Championship in July 2018. Since then, Extraordinario Jr and Miller Fforde have held the North American Championship, while Frankie Dee has become the KOTI Champion. Though they lost 4C and OLLIE in December 2018 and August 2019 respectively, they've gained FCW and are continuing to push forward, despite no longer including promotion's outside of America. Those inside and outside of the wrestling business have praised Sam Keith's genius as the COTT President, and have continued to praise the new Board of Directors system, implemented in 2018. However, among the criticisms of the COTT, the most prevalent has been that foreign wrestlers don't get much of a chance to shine, as the COTT alliance is only in North America. So far, three Americans, two Canadians, and one Mexican have been the COTT World Heavyweight Champion, but no non-North American has been champion. In response, COTT President Sam Keith and the board of directors have been talking with British Samurai, who owns United Kingdom Championship Wrestling. Talks have been going well, and although no official announcements have been made, it seems that UKCW will be a part of the COTT by the end of the year. Other promotion's have express interest in joining the COTT sometime in the future, including UEW, WOF, and ZEN. There are also rumors BCG might join, especially in October 2019 when talks between Sam Keith and Yoshifusa Maeda led to COTT World Heavyweight Champion George Wolfe, who was already touring on BCG's roster, making a defense of his title against BCG World Champion Hiro Gakusha in a stellar match that raised both wrestler's profiles. However, Maeda doesn't like partnering with other promotions, but the young Hiro Gakusha does. It's heavily rumored that when the 65 year old Maeda and 67 year old Yoshizawa leave the business, Gakusha could take over the company. The young 20 year old seems to have a creative mind, with rumors that he's been influencing BCG's booking over the last year, and might take BCG into it's next stage.

ChairToFace · March 27, 2019

Update on mod release:

The mod is still scheduled for release on the first of the year. However, with all the changes that have been announced for TEW 2020, it seems that I'll spend some time editing the mod in TEW 2020 to get it ready for release for that game. If TEW 2020 is released around Christmas, then I'll probably release the TEW 2020 version of the mod either on New Year's Day or shortly afterwards. If it's released during the summer of 2020, then I anticipate that I'd release the mod's TEW 2020 version about a week after that.

There will be two versions for the mod. One version will involve TEW 2016, and the other will involve TEW 2020. The links to both mods will likely be in one thread, since it'd be pointless to make two threads in two different sub-forums for one mod. It'd likely be placed in the TEW 2020 mod's section, though if TEW 2020 is released during the summer of 2020 then the thread will likely be in the TEW 2016 mod section.

Updates will be made to both mods, with TEW 2020's version likely receiving most of my attention. TEW 2016's version will receive updates as well, though they likely won't be preferred since I'll be able to take advantage of some of TEW 2020's new features to further improve the mod. If TEW 2020 is released in the summer of 2020, it's likely that I'll stop updating the TEW 2016 version after that, though if TEW 2020 is released around Christmas, I'll likely update both versions of the mod.

Also, one of the things I want to do involves advancing my mod's timeline and canon. This mod involves the canon CornellVerse, but it's continued to the year 2020 under my own vision of how the canon could play out. If my version of the canon is well-received, then I'll likely make the timeline advance updates. These would be versions of my mod that advances the timeline by one year, or maybe two. However, these will only be done if I see some sort of demand for it. I don't see much point in many updates to one mod to advance the timeline of it, when I could just make one new mod for the future of the canon.

If my canon isn't well-received, then I would likely just make a new mod involving the canon of the CornellVerse. This would involve me taking the canon in TEW 2020, and advancing it in my own vision, in the same way I advanced TEW 2016's canon in my own vision.

Regardless of what I do, I believe I'll likely make a second mod, which would continue the canon on to another year. If it continues my canon, it would likely be set in 2023. If it is a continuation of TEW 2020's canon, it'd likely be set in 2025.

Also, here are the promotion rankings for the company wars in my mod. + means that the promotion has been added to the rankings since 2016. - means it's ranking hasn't changed. If a number is by +, then the promotion gained a spot or more, while if a number if by -, then the promotion lost a spot or more. These symbols indicate the changes made to the company war rankings since 2016.

Today's entry involves the addition of Trent Cornell, and the new SWF brand split.

Trent Cornell

</div>

Trent Cornell is the son of Edward Cornell, who is the cousin of the legendary Tommy Cornell. Being a member of the legendary Cornell family, Trent's training was closely watched by wrestling fans and promoters, who wanted to see if he had any of Tommy's skills. Once it became obvious he had a mixture of Edward's and Tommy's skillsets, wrestling companies around the world began approaching his father with offers to train him there, but Trent and Edward declined. After training under his father and Tommy, Trent enrolled in the National School of Wrestling, eventually graduating in 2021. Now in 21CW's system, some fans are angered that Trent didn't leave the UK like Tommy did. However, with time on Trent's side, it seems he could go anywhere he wants to.

Remo became a face after starting a feud with Tom Gilmore for the SWF Supreme Championship.

Jack Bruce became a heel after starting a feud with Spencer Spade for the SWF Supreme Championship.

Valiant left for TCW.

Following Valiant's exit from the company, Hannah began managing Mikey Lau.

Angry Gilmore turned heel when he started a war against sports entertainment, and reverted to his real name.

When Gilmore turned heel, Jessie also turned heel.

Hollywood Bret Starr turned face after starting a feud with the Eisen family.

The SWF World Heavyweight Championship has been renamed to the SWF Supreme Championship.

The SWF North American Championship has been renamed to the SWF United States Championship.

The SWF Shooting Star Championship was brought back.

The cruiserweight and tag divisions don't have a specific brand.

Jack Bruce doesn't have a specific brand. Though he usually appears on the Supreme brand and occasionally wrestles on SWF Supreme TV, he does sometimes appear in promos on SWF Uprising.

Work on the mod isn't going great. I've been working on workers skillsets and popularity, and can't seem to get them right. The mod isn't exactly worth playing because of this, but the creative concepts in it are good. It seems likely that by the summer, I'll give up on trying to edit the worker skillsets and popularity, and will simply take the time to add in employment histories, assign movesets, worker loyalty, and do a few other things I haven't done yet. I'll also be mass-producing new and original workers, without any family in the business.

Normally I do not give up on projects at all, but in this case I'm willing to make an exception. This is just a hobby of mine, and while I do enjoy TEW and play it regularly, mod making it just a hobby of mine. It's not my job nor do I base my entire life around mod making. The entire point of this mod was for me to use my creativity, which is more of my strongsuit than the actual editing of the mod.

This does not mean that the mod is cancelled. The mod will still be released on it's scheduled date, and receive updates. However, the released version will probably be best to use to obtain concepts. I doubt it'll ever be worth actually playing, so if anyone simply wants to take my released version and adapt it to their own preferences, then that'll be fine, so long as my name is credited with coming up with the concepts seen in the original mod.

Expect an update to come tomorrow, involving some new wrestlers I'll be making. It will also talk about some family dynasties I intend to continue, and possibly a few I want to start.

damn this is a shame, but i'm glad you're still gonna finish it, hopefully this gets sorted

Jack Diamond

</div>

Jack Diamond is a flamboyant wrestler who graduated from the Supreme Wrestling University in July 2020. Having always wanted to be a pro wrestler, Diamond began training himself at a young age, imitating the moves he often saw on TV. Diamond often watched SWF, and he is a loyal fan to the company, and considers Jack Bruce his main inspiration. Entering their training school in 2018, he excelled and SWF trainers quickly realized they had a future star on their hands. Now ready to make his big debut, fans are hyped for "The Ace Of Diamonds" to make his debut.

Sharon Gallagher

</div>

Sharon Gallagher is a young referee who works for UKCW. Debuting in 2018, she has been a wrestling fan for her entire life, and aspired to be a female referee, as most referee's are male. After only a few months of work, she was recomended to British Samurai, who hired her to be the referee for UKCW. She's now a favorite in the promotion, and it's rumored that 21CW are looking to hire her to referee their EPW promotion.

Dean Waterman

</div>

Dean Waterman is a referee in Britain currently working for EPW.

Family Dynasties

</div>

I've already added onto a number of family dynasties in TEW, including the Cornells, the Monteros, and the McWades, and have started some family legacies with the Datsuns, the Holmes, and the Garners. While I'll be making new and original workers, I'll also be adding more family members into the Cornellverse. Among these new family members, I intend to include another DeColt and possibly include Buddy Garner's daughter, though I could just say she decided to go into MMA and not pro wrestling.

Speaking of MMA, I may include the descendants of some MMA wrestlers, and possibly make new MMA wrestlers. Mike Watson, Raul Hughes, Big Magic, Buddy Garner, and Billy Russell are already in TEW, confirming the shared canon between TEW and WMMA (though I have found at least one inconsistency). Though it's unlikely that MMA stars like James Foster or Sukarno would appear, since by 2020 they'd be to old, it is possible to see their descendants, who have decided to enter both pro wrestling and MMA. I'm thinking of making that a sort of trend in my Cornellverse canon, with a number of MMA fighters deciding to also try out pro wrestling.

Good to see you dishing out more injuries than default CV, I always felt not enough people are hurt.

Shame Andrews is one of them though

He would've had at least one more reign by now, if it weren't for injuries threatening to derail his career. From 2017 up to 2020 he's been plagued by injuries, including a hernia and a concussion (caused by Valiant, leading to tension between the two). The torn ACL is his third injury since 2017. However, TCW will probably be fine even with him on the shelf for most of 2020, since they've got Valiant, Matthew Keith, Rocky Golden, and haven't lost anybody to other companies, though Eddie Peak did leave to rejoin Doug Peak in WEXXV.

In default games I always get the belt off Andrews as a priority. In this version, I'd imagine giving him that fairytale redemption style comeback title win could make for great long term storytelling.

The only reason I decided to have Andrews injured is because I felt at least one major star somewhere should be injured, and I picked him since he seemed like the best candidate, due to story possibilities and the probability of that occurring.
