panix04 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 what may be helpful for you Jon is to write a list of what you want your mod to include and which parts you want to do yourself, then make a post listing all the other jobs you want doing and ask people to help out. Im sure you will get a lot of interest, purely based on the popularity of DOTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noas5 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Jon, I grew up on wrestling as well as being around wrestlers due to relations and my mat rat Aunt for most of my 41 years. (1965 birth) I will help out if I can. Texas wrestling, especially the Amarillo (Funk) & Big Time (Fritz's) areas are my specialty, but also basic knowledge as well. Good luck on the project.

jonlawson Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 Thanks panix, just from working through those few wrestlers last night, even with their popularity, it was hard to find info about what they were doing in 1960 :p noas5, I'll be in contact with you tonight when I get off work, thanks!!

Plus-44 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Well, I'd say you can find MOST of your info at [url]http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 :D i think just about every TEW mod maker had obssesed with wrestling as there homepage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 [QUOTE=panix04]:D i think just about every TEW mod maker had obssesed with wrestling as there homepage![/QUOTE] True story. Here are a few D Boon recommend to me: * Viktor Berry's Shire's San Francisco fan site is probably my favorite. Again, he doesn't go into depth at all - but the pictures and some of his stories are top notch. * Old School Wrestling has Clawmaster's results archives - so that helps on rosters. * 1 Wrestling Legends is alright. It's Scott Teal's collection of cheesy little wrestler sites - but it's basically set up to get you to buy their Whatever Happened To... magazine. There's some decent stories from the era, but they are somewhat clipped and kayfabed. * Central States remembered is pretty good. Again, for that particular territory. * Georgia Wrestling History is probably the most in-depth. As Murphy's Law dictates, the main site is currently down - so it won't be very helpful right now. * Pro Wrestling History has a lot of good Supercard results. Combined with the above-mentioned Clawmaster's results, it helps. It's more 80s and beyond, but there are a few relevant cards. * Steel Belt Wrestling is pretty good for info on my neck of the woods back then. But if you happen to delve into some of the wrestling site forums, make sure to wear some boots when wading. There's a lot of crap, heh. Hope this helps. How goes the editing? How many workers are you planning on having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonlawson Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 Thanks TCP! I've been so busy with work and currently am writing down all the info I'll need.... Also, Obsessed With Wrestling, it's my mainpage :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forlan Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 [QUOTE=panix04]:D i think just about every TEW mod maker had obssesed with wrestling as there homepage![/QUOTE] Actually i dont as quite a lot of their info, especially on independent promotions is very wrong. It gets workers mixed up and half the time the finishers and such are also outdated too, puroresu central, jujigatame puroresu and of course cagematch.de are the best in my opinion. Also can't beat google and the doi to find out official sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest .SVA Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I can help you with some workers, since i'm doing a 1963 mod for WreSpi 2. Also WIkipedia is a great resource for promotions and workers. I only use ObsessedWithWrestling for pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
