Not at all. Have at it, and thank you.

I need all the help I can get with this. I have 'finished' the relationships for now (went through adding in relationships for every worker in the game, at least the ones I could find). I have 1687 workers (with more I could add in if I have the info/interest), 2851 relationships, and I'd like to have 24 promotions if I can get proper info on all of them for workers, staff, etc. I'm done for now on workers, TV networks, and relationships - that's not to say I won't edit/fix/change anything. I just don't really want to add any extra stuff in those categories until after I do some major work on other areas - namely alter egos, promotions, tag teams, staff, titles, events, additional TV shows, sponsors, etc. I'm going to focus on alter egos next, as it should be the easiest thing to get done. After that is probably either tag teams, sponsors, or staff. Then I'm gonna get to work on the promotions (as well as their titles, shows, and events). EDIT: I also have pics for all the workers I have in the game. I haven't included them in the download link below, though. Anyway, here is a link to what I have done so far, if anybody wants to look through the three main areas I've finished (workers, tv networks, and relationships) and see if anything looks out of whack or needs fixed, I'd greatly appreciate that. EDIT: Just ran the database maintenance program and my relationships went down to 2739. Not sure how that happened.

Well, I heard Hall and Nash were in on the "shit sandwich" and that Nash supposedly supplied it.

Thanks for the help, guys. I'm almost done with all the relationships but I have one situation that I need resolved, and I'm hoping people who know more about the situation can help: What should the relationships between Sunny and the Kliq members be? I had them as dislike but I've heard conflicting stories (just skimming the net). Some say the Kliq's problems were with Candido and others but NOT Sunny, but I also remember the infamous "shit sandwich" story. Should Sunny have friendships with Nash, Syxx, Hall, Triple H, and HBK, or should they be dislikes? Or neither? And while I'm at it, should HBK and Steve Austin have a friendship (they're friends now), dislike (read rumors that HBK didn't want to put Austin over), or neither?

I didn't give up on this, but it's going way slower than I figured. I'm almost done with the relationships but have some I couldn't fill in. One of the main ones is Sgt. Slaughter. I just don't know what relationships he should have. If someone could PLEASE help me out here, it would make it faster to get these relationships done and get working on other parts. The holidays and my work schedule and family commitments haven't made it too easy to get a lot of work done, but I do have around 2668 relationships right now. I'm finishing up on the S's and will hopefully get the rest done over the next few days. After that, it's onto the other aforementioned areas. The original goal of finishing this by the end of 2012 is not going to happen, but it won't stop me from getting as much done as I can and releasing SOME update soon. Thanks for those who are still interested and have contributed. I'll keep plugging away. This whole project over the last many years has really made me appreciate how much work is involved in updating scenarios, especially by Bill1996. He deserves a huge thanks from the users here.

Linda could easily appear on RAW or SD! in a cameo or something. It's not like she's dead or completely disconnected from the McMahon family.

Aksana is just going to that vintage Rick Rude style. Anyway, I don't know if the Usos really deserve that high of overness (76). I know they got a loud pop and all but let's see how they do week-to-week because they aren't on television all the time.

They fixed that glitch in 4.2. I don't think Ziggler deserves a 78 in speed. The guy doesn't really do dives or high flying moves much. He takes sick bumps and is fast in general and can keep up a good pace, but I think low 70s is fine.

Whoa, someone who WASN'T an asshole. I'd be interested in the 1993 scenario if you don't mind uploading it, Pac. Thanks.

As big a fan as I am of the guys in the Shield, almost all those stats seem inflated, except for Seth Rollins' charisma which should be a tad higher if anything and possibly his brawl. The rest all seem a little too high.

It's tough territory. Fortunately there's almost a full month to gauge, but right now you could ask random wrestling fans or even WWE fans, "Do you know Seth Rollins/Dean Ambrose/Roman Reigns?" and they'd probably say "no, who's that". But if you asked about The Shield (or something like 'those guys wearing black SWAT outfits attacking people on RAW') they might know. The group/characters/whatever are over right now, but the individuals themselves haven't been on TV enough to really be known. It's kinda like when the Nexus first started out. Each time they showed up, you knew someone was getting jumped, so of course people reacted. But nobody knew who Michael Tarver or Heath Slater or Skip Sheffield were outside of the group.

Thanks again, Bill. I really appreciate all the work you do to continue to provide updates.

Minor Update: I'm roughly halfway done with going through and adding relationships for all the workers. I know this might not seem like much, but I have 1686 workers in the game, so it takes a while to look for relationships for everybody. I currently have 2358 relationships in the game, so I'm pleased with the progress thus far. While I know some might not really care as much, and the effort can be taxing, I'm still positive in the end it'll be worth it to make the game that much better. I hope to finish relationships within the coming couple weeks and then focus on alter egos. With any luck, I'll still be able to release a bigger and better version of the scenario by the end of the year. Tag Teams still need to be completed and staff needs overhauled, but I've been sporadically adding some of each in between doing relationships. The final steps will be overhauling the rosters. EDIT: 2417.

Unless someone can prove otherwise, remove the hate relationship between Great Sasuke and Jushin Liger. Maybe replace it with friendship? http://www.ewbattleground.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=90352

I have made some progress. Does anyone know what relationships George "The Animal" Steele should have? I don't want to get anybody's hopes up, but I'm hoping to release a finished or nearly finished version of the scenario by the end of the year. EDIT: Add Gorilla Monsoon to the list of people I need relationships for.

If he isn't already, put Todd Keneley in TNA as an announcer. Additionally, he seems really underrated. He's really good as an announcer - last night during the PPV, Taz was making all sorts of weird comments, and Keneley didn't have any problems, adjusting on the fly and responding to whatever... he calls all the moves, knows what they are, and actually has a good sports-entertainment feel on top of that so he's not too boring. I'd give him a boost to around 79.

I took a piss earlier, so I should be able to deal with this now: During its heyday, WWF Raw got ratings in the 6s and 7s on a regular basis, as well as some segments that were even near 8s. The latest version of EWR was made around the time wrestling was at its peak or shortly after. Networks like Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, etc. get much higher ratings than the 8.0 maximum rating that is available for primetime, while that's a phenomenal rating for a network like USA or Spike TV. If wrestling were to be in a boom period again, it's possible Raw and SD! could attain those ratings. It's also not too unlikely that a special on NBC could be a high rating as well. There are other mechanics in the game, like the fact WWE is a fairly high Global promotion. Now, it'd be hard to argue they aren't global in real life, so they deserve that status in the game as well. But even a promotion like TNA in the game, which is high national, can still attain near those highs. But it is unrealistic as far as advertising, merchandising, production, money, sponsors, how over its superstars are, etc. to make TNA less than upper level national and WWE upper level global. So for the sake of one area of the game being a bit wonky, the TV networks are skewed. Making them lower is probably not the best solution since in the case of a boom period the shows wouldn't be able to achieve the same ratings that they would in real life.

Thanks a billion, Bill.

Sammartino loyalty could've been from the fact he convinced Lou to retire from wrestling and become a manager... I made it just a friendship, though. Thanks for the other ones, and let me know if you stumble upon anymore, please!

Any source for those or just from what you've heard from shoots/interviews/stories? And any others? I added a friendship with Cyndi Lauper (yes, I put her in the game).

Well, as it stands, I have over 1800 relationships in there. I just have trouble with some of the people who are older/haven't been in recent scenarios or updates to find info.

Hell in a Cell Spoilers:

I think we should lower Jim Ross' announcing talent to about 77 or 78. He's not nearly as good as he used to be... He stutters a lot, makes mistakes often, doesn't really know what he's talking about at times and can mess up names, moves, and details. I know he used to be the best, but he's no longer even near that level.

I haven't had much time to work on it lately. Been pretty busy with work and other activities. If anyone can supply me with a decent list for Captain Lou Albano's relationships, that would be great.
