  1. Thanks, it shouldnt have been a written contract. Changing it to handshake will solve the issue
  2. "It All Begins Again"... April 2004 Real World Mod by iDOL What's new in this mod? This mod will be using the graphic style of the Real World Sticker/Trading Card Pack Thread. Over the past month I've been pain-stakingly crawling the web and using the Wayback Machine to find time period specific worker images and cutting them as gifs. Though I still have a lot of work to do, I'm close to hitting 2,000 worker images cut (including some agers) and the results have been very appealing in my opinion. The .gif image overlays really bring a new life to the game. (See screenshots below) In addition to the worker gif images, I've also created a number of new promotion logos in the same style, and have also decided to overhaul the belt graphics (and possibly the rest of the graphics such as TV Shows and Events) All title histories are being converted from real world dates to the dating system TEW uses (for example: Wk 1, January 2004 - Wk 2, January 2004) Workers are being gone through and reviewed for any missing or inaccurate body types, home locations, etc... Attributes are also being added for each worker as it is an extremely important part of the game in order to get the locker rooms to function correctly. All workers will be given organic bios Now that I have Microsoft Access, I will be exporting the mdb file and sorting by stat to see where workers may be over/under ranked and make the changes to better balance the game. I plan to add a large number of future workers to account for debuts that have been missed in the previous version of the data, or made in the time since passed. Progress: COMPLETED PROMOTIONS: 34 | YET TO BE COMPLETED: 4 | TOTAL: 38 *Removed from the list to speed up BETA release, may be added in a future update* USA All Pro Wrestling Chaotic Wrestling CHIKARA Pro Combat Zone Wrestling Cyberspace Wrestling Federation East Coast Wrestling Association Full Impact Pro International Wrestling Association: Puerto Rico IWA Mid-South Jersey All Pro Wrestling Juggalo Championshit Wrestling Lucha Xtreme Wrestling NWA Florida NWA No Limits Wrestling NWA Upstate NWA Wildside Ohio Valley Wrestling Pro Wrestling Guerrilla Pro Wrestling IRON Pro-Pain Pro Wrestling Ring of Honor Total Nonstop Action Wrestling Ultimate Pro Wrestling World League Wrestling World Wrestling Council World Wrestling Entertainment CANADA Border City Wrestling Canadian Wrestling Alliance Extreme Canadian Championship Wrestling Internet Wrestling Syndicate STAMPEDE Wrestling JAPAN All Japan Pro-Wrestling Dramatic Dream Team Kaientai Dojo New Japan Pro-Wrestling Pro Wrestling Zero-One Pro-Wrestling NOAH UK All Star Wrestling Frontier Wrestling Alliance MEXICO Asistencia Asesoría y Administración Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PUBLIC BETA RELEASE (BETA 1.0) "It All Begins Again" (April 2004) TEW 2020 Mod by iDOL BETA Release 1.0 Date: February 18, 2020 Release Notes: Welcome to the first public BETA release of "It All Begins Again" (IABA 04), an April 2004 Real World Historical Mod for TEW 2020. This mod was originally based on the "2004 - A Data" mod by Anderz (TEW 2010), and was built using a conversion of the TEW 2016 version of my "Ruthless Aggression" January 2004 Database which has been thoroughly edited and expanded upon. It is not to be confused with the "Ruthless Aggression" mod converted and released by Mr. Villain for TEW 2020. It has been in development in some shape or form since 2020, and will likely always be being worked on and improved. A few items to note for this BETA release: DDT and NOAH should playable in their current state but are not yet 100 % accurate and have not been finished. About half of DDT's roster has been gone through to the same extent that the rest of the workers in the game world have. Mexico is set as inactive (in addition to Australia and India which have no active promotions.) CMLL and AAA are not in any shape to be playable at this time but will hopefully be edited and fleshed out in a later update. None of the Mexican workers have really been touched yet, so for best results this game area should be left inactive. There are only about 100 US free agents that haven't been edited yet. They are the top priority in addition to finishing off NOAH, DDT and tackling Mexico. The future workers still need to be edited and balanced as well as expanded upon. While I am not finished yet with the data, I figure that most of the promotions that the majority of players will want to play as are done and I can get the data out to them so that error reports can start coming in and we can get some things fixed as I go. Special thanks to the following: gazwefc83 for his awesome Trading Card/Sticker .Gif Pack that has been used and expanded upon for this version of the mod and for his continued help and support. Anyone who has contributed to the Trading Card/Sticker .Gif Pack with their art. gazfewc83, TheWho87, Questlove, NoLegsGaming, Bigpapa42, Fleisch and Mammoth for allowing me to import and edit workers to my needs from their amazing databases. cagematch.net, wrestlingdata.com, prowrestling.fandom.com, profightdb.com and The Wayback Machine which have been invaluable resources for creating this mod. Some hard to find title images utilize Hellfire_Designs (u/HexHellfire) amazing title belt renders found online. The following people who made the past versions of the (January 2004) Ruthless Aggression Mods possible by offering their data for imports, personally helping out with the editing process, or giving their insight on various topics: Genadi, Hive, Mr. Perfekt, LUKIE, XxFutureLegend112xX, Oyaji, Bigpapa42, cpt. charisma, Matt Shannon, Fleisch, OGPistolPete, OLLIE, TheWho87, sock puppet, Slim Jim, Mr. Canada, and anyone I’ve accidentally missed! Additional Notes: Those of you that played Extreme Warfare Revenge for hours on end will appreciate the EWR inspired easter eggs that have been added into this mod. For instance, the angle pack that is included makes use of more than 300 basic angles similar to those included in EWR 4.2 and organized the very same way that they were in the game. In addition, everyone's favorite booking duo of Adam Ryland and Sophie have been included as user avatars to choose at the start of each game - - and that's not all. Remember how if you were lucky enough, that iconic pair of albino rodents would pop up in game? Pinky's Narf! Poit! Wrestling? and The Brain's World Domination Wrestling have been included as future promotions in the mod. If you want to open up the possibility of either mouse showing up in the game, just leave them both in as active characters in the game world at the start of your game. (Due to the way that TEW's game engine works, Pinky and The Brain could potentially become the bookers of existing promotions and cause even more mayhem!) In the interest of keeping "realism" and not wanting to see Sting immediately signed up by the WWE AI, a Simmering Tension relationship has been added between Sting and Vince McMahon. Since Brock Lesnar and Bill Goldberg left WWE on bad terms, a Simmering Tension relationship was added for each of them with Vince McMahon as well. This usually prevents the AI from signing them at the start of the game, and in a number of test plays both men eventually made it to NJPW or AJPW. Scott Steiner was also sitting out the remainder of his WWE contract at this point and has both a starting absence and a Simmering Tension relationship with Vince McMahon to simulate this. Simply delete these relationships in the editor if you disagree with these decisions. All deceased workers that appear in the database are there for cosmetic reasons only (HOF, HOI, Title Histories, Etc) as such, their skills, attributes, health and popularity have all been set to zero as I couldn't see the point in spending hours balancing the stats, pop and attributes for a bunch of workers who will never actually be active in the game. There are custom promotions in the game set to debut, or potentially debut at various points in the future. If this bothers you, or breaks your immersion for a ultra-realistic playing experience, you can delete them in the editor. They are: 3 Lions Wrestling, Canadian Wrestling Coalition, DOKU Puroresu, FOX Wrestling, HULKAMANIA Wrestling Federation, Narf! Poit! Wrestling? (Pinky's company), Paradise Pro Wrestling, Ric Flair Promotions, United States Pro Wrestling and World Domination Wrestling (The Brain's Company). A note about JCW: at this time, Juggalo Championshit Wrestling was only running shows around their yearly Gathering of the Juggalos festival and wouldn't actually run a full time promotion until a couple of years later when they started the Slam TV web series. Their starting roster is based on those that were used for the infamous JCW VHS tapes. In the interest of giving workers more places to work and develop their skills, I've given JCW a monthly event called "Oddball Wrestling" in homage to one of their recurring events that would debut in real life around 2009. If you want the scenario to strictly reflect the time period true to life, you can delete Oddball Wrestling, or delete JCW completely. I recommend leaving them in though, because their roster tends to be pretty fun and the results can get pretty entertaining.

  3. We now own all of the first wave, even the very hard to find Splinter and the Target exclusive toddler turtles. Consider yourself lucky 😅
  4. Yeah, this Stadium Stampede mode just isn’t it… control scheme is a nightmare and the wrestlers feel weightless to play. It’s hard to even land a hit. Should just be called “Fight Forever: Track and Field” because all you do is run 😂
  5. Stadium Stampede is live. They also patched in a bunch of alternate attires for different wrestlers EDIT: Stadium Stampede is not good
  6. This is cool. I really wish there was a way to convert the EWR files to Excel, then back to the EWR files though as that would make editing databases a breeze.
  7. Man, TMNT Mutant Mayhem was great. I’d been trying for years to get my son to watch the 90’s movies and the Nickelodeon series, but he never had any interest. All throughout the movie he kept saying “This is Intense!” “I can see why you like them so much!” Very Spiderverse feeling with it’s animation, loved the character designs (They look and sound like teenage boys and Donnie wears glasses), and all of the changes they made to the origins and lore I thought worked well with the story they told to make them really appeal better to today’s generation. It’s kind of sad to see man-children my age ripping it apart on social media because of these changes. My son was so enamored with this movie when the credits rolled, he asked if we could stop at the store and see what they had for toys. I ended up buying him a Donnie, Mikey and Raph/Rocksteady 2 pack at Walmart and he played with them until bed time. Totally converted him into a Turtles fan tonight.
  8. Had surgery a week ago and am finally starting to feel better (aaaaand desperately need to get out of the house) so I’m taking my son to see TMNT: Mutant Mayhem while his mom and a friend watch The Barbie Movie. Pretty hyped, will write back with our reactions.
  9. I think it’s incredibly fun. With the base roster. CAWs and the creation suite are garbage
  10. This is what online play has become
  11. A simple filter to not be paired against CAWs would satisfy me. I hate them.
  12. On the positive side, a trailer released recently showed a JAS red tights version of Jericho without the bandana around his neck and a guitar as a new weapon (Jarrett possibly incoming?) so it appears that are adding more alternate attires and updating the game.
  13. May have to get this on Steam if the modding community keeps up like it is. Elsewhere, I’ve given up on online ranked play now. Nearly every match is against an overpowered shitty CAW that spams moves and abuses the game mechanics or you’re paired against a rage quitter that will disconnect as soon as you hit your signature to avoid the loss on their record. It started out so promising.
  14. Mod guys are doing some sick work. I’ve even seen someone post a hell in a cell structure they managed to mod in
