Btw, if i'm not mistaken this Black Panther should be called Black Warrior by the time the game starts and is a blood relative of Blue Panther. <p> Still on the Mexican front, CMLL should be the owner of, maybe, Arena Puebla (it's owned by the Lutteroth), maybe, Arena Coliseo Acapulco (can't find confirmation on this one other than Luchawiki saying they sold it) and Arena Coliseo Guadalajara.</p><p> </p><p> The male Awesome Kong using the female Awesome Kong pic.</p><p> </p><p> Hmm... maybe, just maybe, The first Tiger Mask should have a Prickly or Selfish personality? Don't know if it fully fits him but, still, worth a look.</p><p> </p><p> I'm also going to recommend luchawiki.com as a incredible source of info for lucha stuff, including some pictures, family relationships and name history.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, great job Gaz, can't wait to really start playing this!</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Thanks for this, helps alot <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Love it, can't wait until it's complete and finished. Some observations:</p><p> </p><p>

1) Awesome Kong has the female Awesome Kong as the worker picture.</p><p> </p><p>

2) Tod Gordon already sold ECW to Paul Heyman and was not the owner at the time. He's still in the company as a performer, though.</p><p> </p><p>

3) Blitzkrieg is 21 years old (not 24) and has just under 2 years experience.</p><p> </p><p>

4) WCW World War 3 should be an annual event title, like the Royal Rumble</p><p> </p><p>

5) As mentioned above, Edge/Adam Copeland is an active indy wrestler at this time.</p><p> </p><p>

6) Jake Roberts popularity feels too low. Roddy Piper feels like he should be slightly higher as well.</p><p> </p><p>

7) Curt Hennig is still in his Mr. Perfect alter-ego while as a color commentator for WWF</p><p> </p><p>

8) Silver King and Dr. Wagner Jr. are brothers</p><p> </p><p>

9) Dutch Mantel used the Zebekiah gimmick while managing Justin Bradshaw</p><p> </p><p>

10) Undertaker's backstage posse is already formed, iirc. He should also have a WWF loyalty.</p><p> </p><p>

11) Four Horsemen stable description has a spelling error (yearsm)</p><p> </p><p>

12) Steve McMichael has listed 20 years of wrestling experience</p><p> </p><p>

13) Eddie Guerrero and Chavo Guerrero Jr. should be listed as relatives</p><p> </p><p>

14) Not sure I agree with the loyalty flag for Jericho and Storm. Best friend/strong friendship, maybe?</p><p> </p><p>

15) Stan Lane's tag team history with Bobby Eaton, Tom Prichard, Steve Keirn, etc.</p><p> </p><p>

16) Richard Slinger is missing. He was inactive in 1996, but wrestled a lot before and after that in All Japan. He's also related to Terry Gordy.</p><p> </p><p>

17) Pretty sure Mike Awesome has no blood relation to Hogan, though he and Horace are cousins </p><p> </p><p>

Having lots of fun with this mod!</p>

A couple of relationships that might strengthen things.

 

Bret and Davey Boy - Davey may not have followed Bret to WCW after Montreal but they were very close.

 

DDP and Bischoff - both men have talked over the years how they were neighbors and close friends.

 

Amazing work on all the mods!

Pillman isn't available for angles even though he was used on TV during this time.

 

EDIT: He is available for angles after I in-game edited the injury. Now I am unsure if he was available for angles before that...

<p>Loving all the feedback lads, keep it coming.</p><p> </p><p>

I now only have 150 already debuted worker cuts to do, then i'll get onto future workers and alter egos.</p><p> </p><p>

Combine the pic pack progress with all of your awesome feedback, things are shaping up nicely.</p><p> </p><p>

Here is an updated version of the people folder - <a href="https://www.mediafire.com/file/zgofhn8uhtazgwf/People.rar/file" rel="external nofollow">https://www.mediafire.com/file/zgofhn8uhtazgwf/People.rar/file</a></p>

In my opinion, the Japanese companies products' aren't representative of their styles. A lot of them are just Silver Age Pro Wrestling. Here's what they should be IMO:

 

NJPW: Respectful Wrestling OR Wrestling as a Sport

AJPW: Royal Puroresu OR Wrestling as a Sport

AJW: Royal Puroresu OR Wrestling as a Sport

JWP: Royal Puroresu OR Wrestling as a Sport

WAR: Royal Puroresu OR Wrestling as a Sport

Michinoku Pro: LuchaResu

FMW: Junior-Deathmatch Combined (I feel FMW is the reason this product is in the game)

<p>Downloaded the mod and starting a playthrough with ECW. Just wanted to say that the work you have put out for the community is appreciated. I love this sticker/trading card style of graphics. It's really a fantastic use of the gif feature that I never would have thought of. </p><p> </p><p>

This mod would look so great with an Attitude Era/Monday Night Wars style skin made up of background images of fire/diamond plate steel/metal textures.</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: Noticed Shane Douglas is using a photo from late 2000. Here's one more close to the time period.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>I know these are pretty obscure and I don't know if you are putting much effort or stock into enhancement talents but a couple of other people missing from the database: </p><p> </p><p>

"Handsome" Johnny Bradford - Manager, managed Joe E Legend and Edge (as Sexton Hardcastle) in at least July of 96, had been managing since as early as 94. Hard to locate much info on him though. </p><p> </p><p>

Shannon Moore - Debuted in April of 95, a childhood friend of the Hardys (who also trained him) worked the indies in 95 and 96. Also known as El Gran Luchadore, Kid Dynamo <a href="https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=964&page=20" rel="external nofollow">https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=964&page=20</a> </p><p> </p><p>

Joey Abs (Jason Arhndt) - debuted in 94. Worked as a jobber for WWE on Raw in 94 and 95 using his real name. Was the first victim of the Stone Cold Stunner on a 1996 episode of Superstars. Also known as Venom <a href="https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=724&page=20" rel="external nofollow">https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=724&page=20</a> </p><p> </p><p>

Eddie Jackie - debuted in 1995, worked for both WCW and WWF between 95-97. Tagged with Jason Arhndt and hold a win over Stone Cold. Also known as Perfect 10, American Destroyer, Enforcer <a href="https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=6955&page=20" rel="external nofollow">https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=6955&page=20</a></p>

It would also look great with a New Generation skin we haven't seen since 2013. *Nudge* *Nudge*

<p>Thanks a lot for your hard work on this mod. It looks great. I started a game as ECW and noticed a few things:</p><p> </p><p>

You may want to look at ECW broadcasting. I don't believe they were syndicated outside of Tri-State & South East at this point. </p><p>

They are also able to sign a broadcast deal in Puerto Rico (WAPA) and New Zealand(the BOX). I assume that is a problem with the broadcasters though.</p><p> </p><p>

Steve Williams was in until 10/96 as a face</p><p>

Terry Gordy was in until 10/96 as a face</p><p>

Johnny Smith was in until 10/96</p><p>

Ron & Don Bruise should be Ron & Don Harris. The team name is still The Bruise Brothers</p><p>

Sammy Silk should be Sammy the Silk</p><p>

Mack Daddy Kane should be Matty Smalls</p><p>

Beulah should be managing Tommy Dreamer and not Raven</p><p>

The Bruise Brothers & El Puerto Ricano were out after 8/3. I would release them, as Jericho also left 8/3 and he is not on the roster. </p><p>

Lori Fullington should be added to the database and managing Raven</p><p>

Kimona left ECW 6/96</p>

This mod is as fantastic as I expected it to be, your pic pack is the only pic pack I will be using from now on and it was such a fantastic idea!

 

Quick question, are you adding the Events/TV etc to the pic pack?

 

Glad you like it, I'll be adding those just wanted to get the bulk of the worker pics done first
