There is no way Billy K (ECWA announcer) is only 36. He's probably closer to 56 or even older. Bob Bowman is not on WWE's Board of Directors or involved with WWE anymore as far as I can tell: http://concussioninc.net/?p=3894 Apparently after the Benoit murder-suicide, he made some derogatory comments about WWE's drug-testing policies, which resulted in him leaving/being removed.

Bert Prentice is definitely older than 27 - He has been involved with wrestling since the early 80s if not earlier... Bump his age up to 54. Source: http://www.onlineworldofwrestling.com/bios/b/bert-prentice/

Bernie Siegel should be 62, not 47: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/bernard-siegel/7/835/6b6 He graduated college in '72. I would also consider changing him from road agent to owner. Here is a pic: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2097/bernardsiegel.jpg

Is the Archie Brooks in staff as a ref the same one here? https://www.facebook.com/archie.brooks.92 Says he worked in "Pro Wrestling", but according to Facebook posts, he might be facing prison time? He's in the game as 31, but he graduated high school in 1990, making him around 40-41. EDIT: Sorry about the double post. Anyway, why is August Liguori's wage so low? He's a production staff member for WWE with 85 in talent but only $10,000 for his wage? I'd raise it to around $30,000.

Andrew Goldstein should be about 5 years younger - 35, not 40. Source: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-goldstein/4/a78/131

Thanks, man. I've been working on staff for the last few days. I'm up to 267. Still have a lot to add to meet all the requirements. Once I finish with the staff, I've okayed with iDOL that I'm going to make a whole new thread since this one has been through a lot. Once I get staff done (including owners), then tag teams will be the next priority, as well as stables within each promotion. After that, it's just verifying rosters and staff within each promotion/adding them to promotions and touring commitments, and then cleaning up the events and belts/titles. I have hopes to finish this before the end of summer. I think making a new thread after finishing staff will lead to higher productivity because right now with all the replies people probably assume things are moving faster than they really are. Please - and this goes to anyone - let me know if you want to help work on tag teams, belts, or adding people to rosters. I currently have 1692 workers - would like to get more added after fixing the other areas. EDIT: If anyone can provide as much information as possible on Bill Shaw and Bob Dhue, both of whom were executives at Turner and possibly still involved with WCW at this point, I'd appreciate it. I want to know if it's worth including them in staff or not. Staff to verify: Axel Cruz Bill Shaw Bob Dhue

In addition to boosting Kevin Quinn's age to 50, he should be a producer, should still be with WWE, and should probably have a talent boost to around 85. http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kevin-quinn/13/8a3/812

Dan Bynum (staff) should be around 60 according to his LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/danbynum Here is a pic: EDIT: Dave Lagana's age should be bumped up to 37-38. He graduated college in 1997 and had his first project (This Just In on USA Network) around then as well. I would imagine he'd be about 22 then, so 37 would be a conservative estimate on his age. Thomas Simpson (owner) should be 44-45 according to Cage Match http://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=6136&name=Thomas+Simpson Here is a pic of Thomas Simpson (needs cut)

I would also make their Tag Team Finisher "Twin Magic".

Here is a pic of Cody Michaels (staff member):

Lee Marshall should be 65 or 66 according to Cage Match: www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=3196

Hae-Dong Jho (medical) should be around 68 years old. http://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/23362/Dr-Hae-Dong-Jho-Pittsburgh-PA.html Assuming a graduation age of 27 (about average for medical students), with the grad year of 1971, he would be at least mid-60s.

Not everyone goes to college and graduates at 18 and 22... I mean I started college at 22... and it took me 5 years to finish cause I went part time the first two years... Yeah, but most of these ages are several years TOO YOUNG. I'm being conservative and assuming 22-23 for average graduation age. In a lot of cases, these people are 35 in the scenario when they would be at LEAST 40 or 45. EDIT: For example, Staff Member Andy Gregg is in as 32. According to LinkedIn, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1997 (http://www.linkedin.com/pub/andy-gregg/3b/993/236) That means he should be, conservatively, 37. EDIT: WWE Medical Staff Member Larry Heck should be at LEAST 42. He graduated college in 1992, putting him around 42-43 now. Source: Here is a screen cap/pic from the video: He currently has no pic. EDIT: Norm Connors (promoter) should be 41. He was born in 1972 according to a list of promoters from Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_wrestling_promoters He started promoting in '94 so it would make sense that he's in his early 40s.

Alfonso Morales is 64 and born in February according to this: https://sites.google.com/site/wrestlingscout/non-wrestlers/announcers/drmorales Dennis Brent should be around 62 according to when he graduated college: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dennis-brent/7/767/468 Jamie Jamitkowski should be around 42: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/jamie-jamitkowski/7/159/2a

I could see his attitude being around 78 or something but I don't think it needs lowered 10-15 points for shit that happened 5-plus years ago for the most part.

WWE Staff Member Chris Lawler needs an age boost, at least according to his LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/chris-lawler/7/977/7aa?trk=pub-pbmap He graduated high school in 1989. Assuming an age of 18 for that year, he would be 42 now, give or take a year. Also there is a picture on the page but it isn't a great one (he's skiing or snowboarding). ... EDIT: Kevin Quinn also needs an age boost: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/kevin-quinn/13/8a3/812?trk=pub-pbmap He graduated high school in '81, making him about 50 right now. EDIT: Add James Patts to WWE Production Staff under a written contract: http://www.jamespatts.com/about-me.html (Pic is on the website). I'd give him around 85 talent and 95 behavior. Age would be around 35 according to LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jamespatts?trk=pub-pbmap Adam Pennucci needs an age boost to around 42: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/adam-pennucci/44/833/96a - Graduated college in '94

And you think that's reason enough to lower attitude and behavior? The guy was given control over his character so of course he's going to change stuff and determine what he wants to do - I'm sure most main eventers do. It's been a while since I watched the documentary of the DVD, but I don't remember anything that gave off that vibe. Besides, lowering behavior in this instance doesn't make sense and it's already somewhat low at 73. If anything is lowered, it should just be attitude, which is already 81. I don't think it needs lowered anymore.

No problem. I didn't realize you'd helped Kris with the 1975 mod. I guess manually converting it over to TEW would be the easiest first step and then expanding upon it with additional info. My three favorite resource sites are Cage Match, Online World Of Wrestling, and Wikipedia (With Lucha Wiki being awesome for Mexican wrestling). Wrestling Data is usually just for sorting out inconsistencies/discrepancies between sites, kind of a tie breaker or last resource I consult before making a final decision on whether to include something or change something. I've got my hands full with my 1998 EWR scenario, but I wish you the best of luck and if you do need some help researching stuff I can try to lend you a hand.

There was actually a pretty good 1975 mod made by Kris Classic: As for historical data, I use a combination of wrestlingdata, cagematch, wikipedia, luchawiki, online world of wrestling, pro wrestling wikia, and just general Googling to compile info.

I wound up with way more sponsors than I wanted but I don't feel like trimming them yet. I'm at 350 and there are plenty of sponsors for each 'level' of promotion. Here is the sponsors data file if anyone wants to replace it in the original download and see how it works for them. Feedback/assistance is appreciated: http://www.sendspace.com/file/98v021

They had a widely-reported fight years ago in ECW. I have no idea if they still have heat or not. -There is no way Necro Butcher is a better brawler than Undertaker. I would raise Undertaker's brawl to the mid 80s and lower Necro Butcher's brawl to 81. When RVD was in TNA everytime he came out Taz mentioned about how much of a good friend he was and how they go way back and how he's faced RVD many times etc so I think it should be changed into a friendship. Not disputing it, but that could have been in character.

The next thing I want to work on is probably sponsors or tag teams. I'd really love some help with either. Sponsors is probably easiest so I'd like to tackle that next.

That's obviously not the only people. They were in attendance and the chants were quite loud. He didn't even get through his whole promo about his match before they were chanting BORING. The Rock is definitely more charismatic. I would say guys like Sting bring more natural energy and don't come across as nearly as forced and can actually convey emotion and cut compelling promos. Then there's the litany of legends - Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Paul Heyman, Steve Austin, etc. - who are just as good if not better.

When multiple people suggest stat changes, I do my best to go with a happy medium. When certain workers are argued over month after month, their stats will likley change month by month, becaue of people's varying opinions and who voices them that month. Cena and Orton are two other workers that nobody ever seems happy with. Personally (and I know I'm gonna take crap for this)... I don't know what some people see in Ambrose. IMO, he should be lower than Cesaro and Del Rio... Bateman's charisma probably needs lowered in the scenario you mention above, but personally, I'd put Rollins and Reigns ahead of Ambrose, charisma-wise. But, I don't factor my personal opinion into things too often and didn't in this case, either... Which is why Ambrose's charisma is higher than Rollins and Reigns. I'm not gonna give you crap for it. I mean, all this stuff is opinion-based, and I'm voicing mine. I just don't feel like most people know what Dean Ambrose is capable of. It reminds me of when people were saying CM Punk was less charismatic than Randy Orton just because Punk didn't get the chance to display what he can do on the mic. Those who watched him elsewhere knew, but he wasn't given the time or opportunity in WWE yet. Shield has had brief promos that are basically soundbytes chopped up and once in a while they get a mic for a minute. Between his mannerisms and his promos when he was Jon Moxley, I think the guy deserves charisma in the high 80s and maybe better than that, but much like the CM Punk debate, I can't explain it until he demonstrates it on a large scale in WWE. He's just so different and more like a real actor, I guess... I'll drop one promo here, since I don't want to derail this thread into a debate about one guy: I just see a lot of classic Funk and Foley and Raven in there... EDIT: Ah, fuck it, lol Wanted to add: Cena just got loud BORING chants during his last promo on Raw and in the few before that he wasn't getting loud crowd reactions either way, and when he was, they were boos. Cena can play up the fact he's "transcending" the stereotypes of faces and heels, but to me the guy is a babyface who is getting booed, much like HBK in '97 or Hogan in '95, and they all had to change and go heel because their act was stale and their promos weren't convincing or connecting with the crowd. I think that Cena has been in this spot for several years now and he doesn't deserve charisma in the top tier.

I think Jeff Hardy is more over than Sting. Jeff has been World Champion multiple times in WWE and TNA and he just seems to be more of a big-name star than Sting by a hair. If anything, have Hardy around 93-94 in over, and Sting a point below that. I don't think Magnus or Angle need their charismas lowered. Both are solid promos with Kurt having the widest versatility and range in character in just about ANYONE. Most top level charismatic performers have only done one character. Ric Flair, John Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold, etc. remained virtually unchanged. On the contrary, Kurt Angle and I guess Chris Jericho are among the few who have drastically altered characters and still cut amazing promos on a regular basis. Kurt has done everything from cornball face to vicious heel to leader of an elitist stable to his current role as leader of the locker room. He's done really good promos all the way through. I can't see him being less than 95 for that reason.
