[TEW 13] Ruthless Aggression: January 2004 BETA 0.9 RELEASED! (02/04/2014)

[Draevyn]

Hey Idol, your graphics link is the same as your picture link. Any chance of getting the graphics link?

[IDOL]

Updated the first post. Accidentally had both the GFX and People links going to the download to people only.

[Draevyn]

So upon start up it shows that there are less than two workers involved in the Gathering storyline. Turns out there was nobody actually involved.

Edit: Also, little nitpicky think I noticed when looking at starting storylines for WWE...you've got that Flair and Batista won the titles at Backlash when it should have been Armageddon.

Edit #2: Mick Foley should also be on the Raw roster as he was working a feud with Randy Orton.

Edit #3: No Robert Fuller. Why no love for Col. Parker?

[IDOL]

Ah, that was the last one I had added and you have to save without participants first. Forgot to add them in. Should include Raven (side 1) and CM Punk and Julio Dinero (side 2) as majors. the Sandman (side 1) and James Mitchell (side 2) joined the first week of 2004.

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll fix it in the morning.

[IDOL]

Thanks again Forky, I'll make those changes. If there are more old school workers you want to see in the mod, list them and I will gladly add them. I still have a number of Attitude Era guys to go in yet.

[Mr.Perfekt]

Pleasantly surprised to see my name in the credits.

- AKIRA, Hiro Saito, Keiji Mutoh, Kendo Kashin, Kensuke Sasaki, Osamu Nishimura, Satoshi Kojima and Shinjiro Otani are listed twice in the NJPW Dojo alumni.

- Instead of DJ Hyde, you could make Lobo the head booker of CZW.

So I don't know what necessarily affects how much somebody wants for a contract but I'm assuming it's overness, which leads me to believe that you might want to look at the overness of a lot of wrestlers. Eddie Kingston wanting $1, 050 per appearance in 2004 seems quite a steep price for somebody who really wasn't known outside of CHIKARA.

[IDOL]

Have you noticed anyone else out of the ordinary? I will certainly look into that.

[Draevyn]

Not so far but I haven't really played passed the first couple of days. As a comparison, Blackjack Marciano (Kingston's partner) wanted a little over 1, 000 for a written contract but dropped down to 210 for a pay-per-appearance contract. At this time, both of these guys would be relatively the same popularity wise as they debuted together in CHIKARA.

[IDOL]

Hmm.. I'm not sure what Kingston's problem is. He's 1 over across the US with an exception of the Tristate where he is 8. He's F- over across the board.

[Draevyn]

It could be something to do with his behaviour...the fact that he's a Mercenary, Ruthless and Manipulative.

[IDOL]

Yeah, that's probably it. I'll lower those a little bit.

[Mr.Perfekt]

btw, I've been doing a watcher game with this data and and I've skipped 3 years so far. Plan to skip until January 2014 to see how the landscape has changed.

At the start of every year I've put up some notes, mainly about whose the champ, who won the Rumble, what's going on with NJPW, TNA, ROH etc. If you're interested I can post them here or PM them to you.

[IDOL]

Sounds good!

Wow, are Harry Smith and Kid Nichols still only working for Stampede by that point?

[Mr.Perfekt]

Wow, are Harry Smith and Kid Nichols still only working for Stampede by that point?

Yes, they both were, though Harry left Stampede a month later, and hasn't gone back yet. He's had three tours with NOAH since then, but other than that' he's been unemployed (god knows why)

Nichols is still in Stampede working currently as a main eventer. 7-time IC champion, 2-time tag champion and one-time North-American champion in there.

[DiNo41]

I think, you should add Vickie Guerrero.
