EWR 2011 Stats Update: April ***PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS***

[Bill1996]

Site is running really slow, so gonna be real quick. Want to make a couple notes before I forget, though.

According to Wiki, raise Larry Zbyszko's age to 59

Wiki's the only place I found 12/5/51 as his birthdate... Pretty much everywhere else was 12/5/53. This article in 2003 from Slam (Which is usually pretty accurate, from my experience) has him as just turning 50: http://www.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2003/12/05/278136.html

Change Jorge Rivera's birth month to August (according to Wiki and Cagematch.de).

I've seen his birthmonth at August 2nd and September 2nd... The only "tiebreaker" I have is the fact that his myspace lists him as a Virgo, which would be August 22-September 23rd, meaning, for him to be born on the 2nd, it would have to be September 2nd: http://www.myspace.com/skayde1

Fair warning... 177 pics total in the Full Update. Tried to fill a lot of holes.

thanks bill

one quick thing, is there a reason luke gallows has not been renamed to keith hanson? idk if its just an oversight or if theres a reason for it.

good job!

[Bill1996]

Quick question, while I'm thinking about it... Hope someone can answer...

When starting a game, you have the option of checking "Auto put workers at Ideal position." I assume this is so, when you hire writers, you won't get the "wrestler X is being too much" or "wrestler Y isn't being pushed enough."

The thing is, Ideally, I'd like to have the game start so you don't have that, WITHOUT having to check that. I just started a game with the just released April data and the writers are telling me that certain workers (specifically, the Japanese workers in Shimmer, with the exception of Hamada) are too far up the card. Thing is, in real life, they are upper midcard/main event, yet in game, it says they are too high until I lower them to openers.

We need to fix this, in order to make the game as realistic as possible.

Now, I have a chart that shows overness for card position:

Global

Main Eventer: 91-100

Upper Midcarder: 81-90

Midcarder: 61-80

Lower Midcarder: 41-60

Opener: 21-40

Jobber: 0-20

National

Main Eventer: 81-100

Upper Midcarder: 71-80

Midcarder: 56-70

Lower Midcarder: 41-55

Opener: 21-40

Jobber: 0-20

Cult

Main Eventer: 66-100

Upper Midcarder: 51-65

Midcarder: 41-50

Lower Midcarder: 21-40

Opener: 11-20

Jobber: 0-10

Regional

Main Eventer: 56-70

Upper Midcarder: 46-55

Midcarder: 36-45

Lower Midcarder: 21-35

Opener: 11-20

Jobber: 0-10

Small

Main Eventer: 36-50

Upper Midcarder: 21-35

Midcarder: 11-20

Lower Midcarder: 6-10

Opener: 0-5

Jobber: N/A

Backyard

Main Eventer: 21-30

Upper Midcarder: 11-20

Midcarder: 6-10

Lower Midcarder: 0-5

Opener: N/A

Jobber: N/A

My question is, is this ALL that goes into determining a worker's card position? So, for example, with Shimmer being a Regional promotion, all's I have to do to get the writers to keep requesting demotions is to follow the regional section of the chart?

Quite simply, if I give Ayumi Kurihara (who is a Main Eventer in Shimmer in real life) an overness between 56-70, will the writers still want to move her? If so, what all determines what the writers will accept for a worker's position?

I'm likely going to experiment with this, but figured I'd post, to see if anyone had a quick, straight answer.

-Bill

EDIT: OK... Just did a quick test and apparently, all's that needs to be done is to get the over in those ranges and the writers are cool with it.

Guess that means I'll be working on adjusting overness this month...

I didn't put these in because they happened after the game start date of April 1st... They have all been adjusted and, assuming nothing changes, will be present in the May update.

Ahh, okay that makes sense then.

On to other stuff:

Remove staff member announcer Mike Hogewood from ROH, he's contracted to HDNet, and won't be staying with ROH.

Also, how are the PI numbers calculated for feds? Do we suggest changes like we do with workers and such?

The one problem with this is that the wrestlers would be over-rated. Sure they are main eventers, upper midcarders or midcarders but why should they be as over as someone who is really that over. If I am not mistaken, Shimmer is a regional promotion and I do not think that Ayumi Kurihara would be 56 over like the game would want her to be to be a main event. This would mess things up because girls like Sara Del Ray, Allison Danger and Daizee Haze would be below her when in reality they are more known. Perhaps Shimmer should be a small promotion in this case so Ayumi would be a main eventer at 36?

WWE STAR RESPONDS TO KURT ANGLE'S WRESTLEMANIA COMMENTS AND WELL, OUCH!

by Mike Johnson @ 3:40 PM on 4/4/2011

In regard to the comments Kurt Angle made about Wrestlemania, including his match against Randy Orton, CM Punk wrote on Twitter - "my twitter account was hacked", is the new: "I'm a sloppy drunk douche".

That my friends, is the epitome of blunt.

Add a dislike between CM Punk and Kurt Angle?

[MikeyManiac]

According to pwinsider.com and various wrestlers on twitter.. Jon Moxley will be signing with WWE and going to FCW soon.

Well, I did a little playing with this after finding it out and the nice thing is, those numbers aren't "hard-set." Meaning, to be a main eventer at the Regional level, Ayumi didn't have to be at 56 or above... The writers didn't complain when I had her as a Main Eventer at 46 over. She (along with the other Japanese women in Shimmer, certainly deserve more than the 8-9 overs they had as of the start of the April update. I'm using Shimmer as the example, simply because I was at the events last weekend and therefore, got a pretty decent guage of their card position and how over they were with the fans. That also works both ways, meaning I could actually have Daizee Haze, for example, with a higher over than Ayumi, but still keep her at the Upper Midcard level, which is where I feel Daizee belongs, Shimmer-wise, on the card. As of now, this is what I had for Shimmer:

I'm not saying it's perfect, but I feel (again, based on last weekend's shows) that it's accurate and that it all works in the game, meaning, I got no complaints from writers when I started the game up. As always, it's up for discussion.

One quick note on Allison Danger... I have her at 34 and, to be honest, I don't think she's as over as many would believe, at least compared to other workers in the promotion... She seems to be always involved in storylies with the lower midcard/midcarders and is usually one of the first workers to be the one to elevate an up-and-coming worker to the next level. Don't get me wrong, she's damn good at what she does and I'm not knocking her one bit. But, popularity-wise, the Japanese girls got far bigger pops than Danger did.
