Thanks mkpunk. Doing the best with with you got.

Also, ECIII hasn't been with Impact for a while (I think he's with ROH now) and Shera is back, aiding Rohit Raju, and with in regards to NWA, I deleted it the last time and refilled it with the workers that were on Shockwave Season 1.

I think it makes sense  to make D'Lo into a worker, since he, along with  Scott and Don, have popped up as non-workers on Impact.

It would be a long list to go through, but I found good vids that showcases finishers for AEW since more than a few wrestlers do need a touch up in that area.

Men's

Women's

Tag Teams

The home to Lucha Underground the El Rey network is going off the air come New Year's. Though Robert Rodriguez has stated, it might become a streaming service in the future.

Also, add tag team of TayJay of Tay Conti & Anna Jay (active, 5 Exp).

I remember Darius Carter was in the game for a long time, and he works for a company I write for, Catalyst Wrestling, here in New York. He's an amazing talent that I hoped to see re-added soon.

Also, thanks in part to the TEW 20 update thread, I found out that Madison Rayne and Jake Crist are gone from Impact, with Rayne retiring from the business and Jake saying he was a free agent.

Since there is no way to put that in the mod directly, I'd just have in in your thread with the backstory,

Assuming this is a mod for 2021, I'd go with the logic that for 2019 and 2020 the wrestling world shut down, and in 2021 it's allowed to reopen, you can even run a delayed start of AEW, WWE with a skeleton roster, Lucha Underground return, and NJPW moving to America.

I am currently redoing this scenario again, adding tweaks to the idea. I took your advice and added Lucha Underground. With a new staff (merging some of the staff with AAA), Vampiro and Excalibur are doing the announcing this time. Matt Striker is with GFW and doing comm. with Don Callis.

The whole idea is that more than a few feds have gone inactive (like the WWE would be hosting a classic greatest hits on the Network, AEW reverts back to its roster pre-DON) and most feds have closed down because of the ongoing pandemic. And going by current real world logic, 2021 is set to have a fresh restart due to the rising number of COVID 19 vaccines.

Currently, I have eight promotions in total, though I do wanna add in a couple of more.

• WWE

Still thinking on what stars would be part of a skeleton crew, outside of noted WWE for life people; Ross and Lawler are announcing currently

• AEW

Think pre-DON roster, the Bucks, Kenny, Page, and likely Jericho; own by the Khans with The Coachman and Booker T are announcing currently

• GFW

No roster, yet though I am leaning towards using FTR, Tully, Tessa, Shawn Spears, and Big Show, but ran by the Jarretts, Don Callis, Scott, and Nordholm; Striker and Callis are announcing currently)

• ROH

No roster, but ran by Joe Koff and announced by Kevin Kelly and Rich Bochini

• ECW

Brock, Tyson, Cain Velasquez, and maybe Dreamer and some couple of MMA guys; Steve Corino owns the company as does Paul Heyman, which I know is insane given the bad blood; DJ Hyde and Al Snow are backstage agents, and Todd Keneley and CM Punk are announcing

• Lucha Underground

Chavo, Rey, Felix, and Pentagon Jr. currently, with Excalibur and Vampiro as announcers and owned by Marisela Peña

• NWA

A loose retooling of the current NWA roster, as title holders wise, and owned by Meji with William Patrick Corgan, Court H. Bauer, and David Marquez as backstage personal; Renee Paquette and Nigel McGuinness are announcing

• WOW

Owned by Allison Danger, with David McLane and Lexi Frye as backstage personal, and announced by Dave Prazak and Dasha Fuentes.

As of right now, those are the current feds I have save right now with some ideas tossing around.

But I will be willing to have people test it out currently, and see what people think and what people give me roster pointers and whatnot.

A couple of AEW tidbits:

Billy has gone back to being called Billy Gunn on AEW, like the Cody thing.

Bowens and Caster are called The Acclaimed, and their finisher is called Critically Acclaimed.

But the only one I am trying to solve, as a casual EWR player, is Tully. He's both an on-air manager and a producer backstage. I tend to get away with this by having Tully backstage being called Tull A., while he is still Tully on the roster. Easy fix or just delete Tully as a road agent?

Yeah, I think its time for The Rock, Austin, Hogan and Bret to be deleted since, outside of maybe Dwayne, the four of them don't wrestle at all anymore. Like Undertake, they are fully retired.

Also, shouldn't the Beaver Boys be called Dark Order II and Five and Ten being called Dark Order III? Plus Daniels and Frankie are still called Addiction, not SCU II or something to that effect.

Gotchu, gotchu.

That is true, should I make it more clearer to set in it a near future where this is a possibility?

Yeah, that's my prob I'm having, where does both AEW and WWE fall into this. I could see the latter cutting costs and basically doing away with NXT and NXT UK. AEW maybe stops doing Dark(?).

Working on the current EWR data, November, I came up with the scenario of a pandemic based setting where essentially all of the companies folded, but in the wake of their folding seven companies rose from those ashes. Right now, I currently have:

• Jericho Cruise Wrestling (based out of Canada and pretty straight forward, Jericho has a weekly show on his cruise ship)
• Pure Fusion Wrestling (think how TNA was back in the mid-2000s, geared towards high flying action and professional wrestling)
• Windy City Pro Wrestling (which might be rechanged around)
• Championship Wrestling Association (Mexico based company)
• American Wrestling Association (one of the two factual companies to return, but based out of Canada)
• Kings of Wrestling (will be ran by Jerry Lawler and harkens back to Memphis style)
• Josh Barnett's Bloodsport (another factual company, with Josh Barnett being the solo worker so far)

Right now, those are the names I am working with, and those seven are National companies. I wanna add in more but I would love to hear more stuff from y'all. Especially with suggestions to wrestling and the alike.

NWA is back with a new weekly TV show called NWA Shockwave. Tuesday evenings on YouTube, with Joe Galli and (maybe?) Sean Mooney as the comm. team.

Also Rich Swann should be an active wrester again, Upper Midcarder.

Some IMPACT notes:

In the case with Kamille, she has been dating her stable mate, Thom Latimer, for the past year or so(?) and has been public about that.

Thanks for the update, this was greatly needed.

Also, Eric Bischoff  is still listed under WWE as staff, and Eric B. has been on AEW....

Some BFG 20 changes.

Also, Impact events should be wiped around, since Hard to Kill is going to be their next PPV and likely, Slammiversary and Bound for Glory as well.

Spoiler

Not sure since Allie, who went back as The Bunny gimmick and the Nightmare Sisters are over, is now part of the stable. But considering how much Eddie seems to using family in terms of that stable, its possible, they are called The Family.

 

If anything, you could use what roster they have on their site. Memphis on the other hand seems to be a newer one, or at least adjoined by CWFH.

Watch Championship Wrestling presented by Pro Shingle every Saturday at noon on CW30 Memphis & YouTube! This special edition of Championship Wrestling from Hollywood is hosted by Dustin and Maria Starr, features local Memphis content and includes talent from CWFH, CWFAZ, NWA, AEW & more!

Quick NWA update:

Since they are doing a weekly PPV called UWN Primetime Live, though I am unsure if we should merge Championship Wrestling from Hollywood, Arizona, and Memphis into the United Wrestling Network ala WWN.

Yes, I have CHIKARA, too. I got the 383 error as well.

Ah, okay. Its an easy fix since you just add Wade back to the NWA and then replacing him afterwards, by adding someone else.

Also, speaking of the NWA, they are partnered with with Marquez's other feds, United Wrestling Network, to produce a weekly PPV show called UWN Primetime Live. I think since they aren't doing Powerrr anything soon, NWA should have the old PPV a week option on Tuesdays. And Zicky Dice seems to be back with the company, defending his TV title and Trevor Murdoch is now the National champion.

NWA is a 404 invalid file once you go to it, I think when you switched Wade into the WWE it thinks he's still on the roster.

Okay, quick note: I believe The Desi Hit Squad is active, I think outside of Rohit, they aren't able to be flown out to wrestle for IMPACT because of travel restrictions.

Outside of what I mentioned up above, I've decided to go through IMPACT roster and give it a swift update, as best as I could.

Fallah Bahh (no change)

Heath (Like EC3, No Gimmick Needed, but I need more of Heath to see)

Larry D (no change)

Luster the Legend (likewise with Adam)

Rob Van Dam (Not sure, yet. But def. have him as Tweener or Heel/Cool)
