Ah, Shucks! :)

Frankly, I'm just glad you musketeers are still enjoying this.

 

Here is the latest data set. I haven't had the chance to get too far into testing it, but it sure starts off nice. I really dig the first week of signings - especially by the AWA; Backlund gets a new lease on things, as it should have been.

 

And yeah, Dwight - you did inspire me to at least look into Sabu more.

I happened upon about 5 matches of his not too long ago and came away greatly impressed by a couple of the bouts. At the very least, I can now make an informed opinion on the guy.

 

While I do not grok that style of wrestling, I have so much respect for The Sheik that it is impossible for me not to appreciate Sabu - especially when Sabu breaks out the Sheik's mannerisms. It doesn't seem to happen very often - but in this one cage match against Jerry Lynn, Sabu literally became Farhat. I found that particular match wildly entertaining, heh.

 

Take care!

Just wondering how those tweaks are going to the movesets and whatnot.

Are you planning to reduce the number of cards for some of those promotions? I ask because I'm getting close to finishing 1984 in my Lyger diary and I'd like to update with the best possible version.

Also, in a game I'm playing with Rookie to Legend, ASW and PPW keep cancelling touring shows due to a lack of workers. Is this because they are Garbage promotions? Anyone else had this problem? Maybe some more Garbage style workers are needed?

Anyway, love the changes so far and anxiously awaiting the next step! :D

 

 

It's probably due to the size of the promotion and the number of wrestlers on the roster. After looking at the promotions there are many scheduling conflicts and the wrestlers, at least the human controlled one anyway, is asked to go to the bigger territory.

the thing with Sabu is that he was a damned good wrestler, who started taking more and more crazy bumps, and as a result, his body broke down REALLY fast.

 

i've seen interviews with him where he talks about how he did a crazy bump in ECW, and Paul Heyman was like "did you see the crowd go nuts for that?? do it again!"

 

and each week, the ante got upped, until it became impossible for Sabu to do anything other than something insane, because if he tried to actually wrestle, the crowd woulda crapped on it because they ewere expecting something else, namely, a guy slowly killing himself.

I've been going through my videos and have cut 24 new Move pictures for the data. While not the highest quality pictures, considering the sources, there are quite a few pretty nice ones.

 

Newest Move Pictures:

Top Wrist Lock, Leg Ring Post, Inverted Piledriver 2 (Spinning), Camel Clutch Sleeper, Super Fallaway, Suicida (sweet Multi-Use picture), Splash Mountain, Second Rope (Multi-Use pic of HTM on 2nd rope), Grounded Punch, Collar and Elbow, Grounded Facelock, Grounded Elbow, Standing Double Arm, Figure Four Cross Leglock, (Terry Funk's) Bob and Weave Jab Flurry, Piledriver, Camel Clutch 2 (Iron Sheik on Backlund), Back Suplex 2 (for Back Drop Driver), Extended Wrist*, Short Arm Scissors*, Knee Drive Arm 3*, Measured Knee, Backslide, and Somersault Plancha.

 

* = From a super Nick Bockwinkel v. Jumbo Tsuruta match.

 

Newest Worker Pictures:

Randy Hales, Cory Maclin, Eddie Marlin

 

1.75 Data; move pics assigned, 3 new workers (see above), 3 new movesets (Clive Myers, Steve Grey, and Joe Malenko), & 10 new moves

 

Thanks!

Not sure if anyone would be interested - but I am in the process of assigning the TEW05: DOTT worker profile pics to Wrestling Spirit: DOTT. The newer pictures seem to look a lot nicer, imho, if only for the conforming aspect.

 

I'll be uploading the results/data to my site. At the very least, I'll be able to get the stuff off of PC Pages.

 

Thanks!

Heh - right. I can not remember the name of that game - Superstar Wrestling, or something like that? I ordered that game back then, as well. Ended up being horribly disappointed.

I had made a game that my group of friends used to play that was a lot like Wrestling Spirit, actually - a pen and paper system that broke down wrestling movements into turns; move damage charts, strength v. weight charts for slams and such, 'desparation chances' - for when trying to save your stunned guy, even Kevin Sullivan's hypnosis - lol. I saw that SW game in the Apter mags and figured it had to have been better than the one I made.

I was wrong.

 

Not to disrespect it, as I know a ton of people have fond memories of that game. But I disliked it so much, I sent back the second set they sent to me in error. Heh. Not that I was an honest 13 year old, mind you. ;)

 

Anyway, about Dr. Red Fang: Supposedly, it was the game creator's dog. :) He created an entire character around the mutt that was his poking fun at the Sullivan devil angles in Florida - though this one, as you said, was from Transylvania.

 

It's actually really funny, when you consider how many people have wondered exactly who was this cape wearing madman. :D

No wonder I have never heard of him! Thanks for the info. I'll give my 2 dogs (part samoyan/part springer spanial) an extra treat in "honor" of the mysterious Dr. Fang. I'm sure that by now he is in doggie heaven. Today the pooch would have been around 147 in human years.

 

 

Considering that WWE is pushing the nightmarish "Boogie Man" you would think that the "Transylvanian Count/Vampire" gimmick would be tried next.

I corrected the first post links, but for those interested, here are the new links to the D.O.T.T. mod for Wrestling Spirit.

 

Main Files: DOTT.zip

 

Logos: logos.zip

Belts: belts.zip

People1: people1.zip

People2: people2.zip

People3: people3.zip

People4: people4.zip

Moves1: moves1.zip

Moves2: moves2.zip

 

*the wrestler profile pics come from the TEW05 DOTT scenario. As some of the name structures were changed, a few of the profile pics might need to be reassigned.

I don't know if you have added them to your list of tag teams but during the late '80s there was a tag team named Strike Force in the WWF. The team comprised of Rick Martel and Tito Santana. I know that they weren't listed in the version that I have gotten from you last year.

Thanks, Cap.

 

And I guess this is as good a time as any to announce that D.O.T.T. will be making its way onto Wrestling Spirit 2 upon release.

 

Hopefully, those of you that enjoyed this scenario will make the jump with us and continue to support our efforts in celebrating the kayfabe period.

 

Thanks!
