A few notes concerning CHIKARA changes that I haven't read in this topic :

Dragon Gate : Masato Yoshino is the new Open The Brave Gate champion. SHINGO Takagi and YAMATO are the new Open The Twin Gate champions. NJPW : Alex Koslov and Rocky Romero are the new IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team champions. Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima are the new IWGP Tag Team champions

Like I said, english isn't my primary language, which lead to that misunderstading but with your explanation, I got it. Thank you ! So, cpt.charisma, don't take in account that part in my first post.

Sorry for the double post, but I edited my previous one to reflect changes that happened during "Battle Not With Monsters".

Once again, thanks for the update ! CHIKARA : Roster : Tag Team : NOTE : I think that would be a good idea to "mass delete" all of CHIKARA's Tag Team in order to have a "clean" database due to the fact that a lot of team are composed by wrestlers who were only guest or who aren't part of the roster anymore. Once you did that, here is the team (both active and inactive) I would add based solely on active CHIKARA wrestlers : EDIT : I wanna add something else about tag team but this time it's more general : Of course, everything I put under spoiler could be discussed and I know that if what I recommend is chosen to be applied, that would be a lot of work for cpt.charisma, but I could largely contribute to it. (Unlike everything that is related to worker's stats and popularity...)

In CHIKARA, rename the team of Jigsaw and The Shard (currently named Shard'n'Saw) to "Pieces of Hate". Once the may update is uploaded, I'll do for CHIKARA what I did for PWG this month.

I haven't seen anybody talk about PWG since a moment so here is some modification to make concerning teams : Active Tag Team Note concerning experience : I used the "TEW System" where two wrestlers gains one exp. point each match they are teaming together. That's why some team like Roderick Strong & Edwards have less experience. I used the cagematch database to know how many time two wrestlers have teamed together. Regular : - DojoBros. (Roderick Strong & Eddie Edwards) (Exp : 15) - Formed : August 2011 (Their first match together in PWG, not the very first one. It'll be the same for the other teams) - Inner City Machine Guns (Ricochet & Rich Swann) (Exp : 13) - Formed : January 2013 - Super Smash Bros. (Player Uno & Stupefied/Player Dos) (Exp : 100) - Formed : September 2011 - RockNes Monsters (Johnny Yuma & Johnny Goodtime) (Exp : 96) - Formed : December 2010 - The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) (Exp : 100) - Formed : June 2007 - Unbreakable FN' Machines (Brian Cage & Michael Elgin) (Exp : 4) - Formed : January 2013 Occasional : - Future Shock (Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly) (Exp : 37) - Formed : October 2011 All other team must be made "Inactive" Maybe add Johnny Gargano to PWG with a PPA Deal (of course). I heard an interview of him where, after what I understood, he intends to become a PWG regular. If you add him, make another "regular" team : Chuck Taylor & Johnny Gargano (exp : 28) - Formed : March 2013 Concerning PWG product, I think that would be a good idea to put the Face/Heel Devide off. I thought of that because PWG sees some of Heel vs Heel match up where a worker/team works more as a Face. The most notable exemple I remember is during "Mystery Vortex" where The Dojo Bros. acted as face against the Young Bucks in the opening match but as heel in their match against The SSB.

assailANT seems to be born in 1985 according to the last Chikara BLOG.

Make TNA's Jesse Sorensen a non-wrestler. He seems to be still employed by TNA but as Marketing/production assistant. (Source : Jesse Sorensen's twitter)

I haven't download it already, but as usual, thanks for the work Cap'! ROH 11th Anniversary Spoiler :

Once again, thanks a lot for all your work, Cap' ! I'll check CHIKARA again in case I missed something last month.

Here is a very minor note about Britani Knight/Paige. Born : August 1992 Set to Debut : April 2006

For Mantis, I thought of a gimmick which was in EWR 4.2. but which isn't in TEW Database (or maybe under another name) : the "Inspirational Leader" gimmick. I would make that gimmick this way : same stat requirement that for "Cult Leader" but rated A for babyfaces and D+ for heels. (instead of D+/A for "Cult Leader") Of course, to create a unique "Great and Devious" gimmick for Mantis would be relevant with the new "Generic/Not generic" classification. Same problem with Wicked. I don't know what to choose as his gimmick... Maybe just let him with a "Mysterious" gimmick. (In this case, Hallowicked will need some stats modifications) And finally, for The Batiri (except Delirious which is clearly a "Cult Leader"), I didn't thought about an alternative for them yet. (Maybe "Occult" for Ophidian but this gimmick will ask important stats change) EDIT : Just a quick edit to say that I'm currently working on Chikara Titles Lineages EDIT 2 : If someone is interested with my work until now, here is a DL link for my Chikara edited database : http://www.mediafire.com/?d811mr7riu1scxn I modified Hallowicked to have skills to use the "Mysterious" gimmick properly and I created the "Great and Devious" gimmick for UMB. All of the Batiri are still "Acolyte" though. If you check this, also read the note inside and PM me for review.

It this apply to Fire Ant/Orange Cassidy, it's the same thing about Soldier Ant/Drew Gulak even if I'm not 100% sure about both but there is some proofs.

Here is another update for Chikara but this one concern the Promotion Product, because I don't think that "Fun For All The Family", "Goofy Lucha Fun" or "High Spot Spectacle" really fit Chikara. Style Name : Puro Lucha Fun Match Type Booking AI For Events/TV : 20% everywhere (Chikara books a lot of differents match-up in a well rounded maneer) Expected Match Lenghts (Events/TV) : Minor Match : 10 Medium Match : 15 Main Match : 22 I didn't make any difference between "Events" and "TV" Match because I don't think that a Chikara controled by the CPU can reach a level where they can have an important TV contract (and even more because of the "Product Appeal Definition" that I choose - just check the Analysis under spoiler below). And even in this case, the card booking type would be still quite the same. Product Appeal Definition : - Traditional : Key Feature - Mainstream : Low - Comedy : Heavy - Cult : Medium - Risque : None - Modern : Medium - Realism : Low - Hyper Realism : None - Hardcore : None - Lucha Libre : Medium - Pure : Medium - Daredevil : Heavy Then use "Auto Set Product" Match Intensity : 40% Match Danger : 65% Women's Wrestling : Integrated T&A Levels : None Face / Heel Divide : Yes Analysis : Of course, I'm okay with any suggestion or idea. EDIT : Here is another suggestion but which concern every workers, not just the Chikara roster. This one concern the new weight system introduced in TEW 2013 (where a wrestler can lose/gain a "weight" category) and, for now, only the "Lightweight" wrestlers. I think that a lightweight wrestler can't lose weight to become a "small" wrestler so, "Lightweight" should be their actual AND minimum weight (and Middleweight their maximum, except particular cases) Here is an explanation to that : let's take two former partners Cheech Hernandez - 6'0"/176 lbs - listed as a Lightweight wrestler, and Cloudy - 5'5"/150 lbs - listed as a Small wrestler. I just don't see a guy like Cheech who is already a "skinny" - but quite tall - wrestler lose 16 lbs or, even worse and impossible, some of his size to become a "small" wrestler like Cloudy (but instead, it's a possibility that Cloudy can gain some "muscle" or "fat" pounds to become a "Lightweight"). I know that there is still a lot of works and more important things to do in order to have complete roster for every indies and foreign promotions, but I'm sure that would make the game more realistic this way.

Yeah, it's true that we can now create "Unique" or "Generic" gimmick ! With that, I'm totally sure to keep Archie's gimmick (and even create one for Kobald and other wrestlers for whom I can't find a proper gimmick) Anyway, this is what I made for "Masked" workers : assailANT ----> Outsider deviANT ----> Outsider El Generico ----> Show Stealer Note : Generico is a "Special Attraction" in CHIKARA and always deliver great performances. Fire Ant ----> Daredevil or Old School Face Frightmare ----> High Energy Green Ant ----> Daredevil or Old School Face Jigsaw ----> Turncoat - Raise his microphone skills to 53 to make the gimmick works Saturyne ----> Underdog Note : She is the only woman in Chikara, definitely isn't like SDR and in my eyes, is booked as "weak" (I don't remember all of her matches, but it's clear when you look at her confrontation with Donst back in August) Soldier Ant ----> Forced Heel Note : Not "Armed Force" because it doesn't fit him in the game, and being forced to team with GEKIDO make the chosen gimmick fit. The Shard ----> Outsider I only have problem with UltraMantis Black's and Hallowicked's gimmick. About Mantis, Cult Leader can work, but it's more a heel than a face gimmick AND it doesn't suit him so I'll have to make modification on his stats. That's why I think that "Fan Favourite" is a better idea. It will imply stats modifcation too, but it's a face gimmick, and Mantis is one of the guy (if not, the guy) who has the most important fanbase. I also think of "Fan Favorite" for Wicked, but I'm even less sure that for Mantis.

Here is some explanation on my work, even if I am globally agree with you : - Eddie Kinston : I wanted to let him with a "Bad Ass" gimmick, but when I saw the description of "True Born" (A character who was made by the company for the company, to become the leader for the next generation.) I felt that's exactly how Kingston have been sold to us by Quack since he became the Grand Champion. - Gran Akuma : When I saw him with a "No Gimmick Needed" gimmick, I immediately think of giving him the "Martial Artist" gimmick, but you're right, Bad Ass could work too even if for me, Akuma is like a "ruthless kicking warrior", I don't really know how to explain, but I'm sure that there is a better gimmick to represent this. - Archibald Peck : I'm okay with the fact that adding a new gimmick for every wrestler would be a bad idea but I just don't see him with a gimmick as simple as "Fun Babyface". Being a Marching Band guy is how he was introduced to us and we still call him "Archie Marchie". So, just like for Los Ice Creams who, in my opinion, needed an "Ice Cream" gimmick (in the database they're listed with an "Undead" gimmick), Archie needs a "Marching Band Guy" gimmick. (If I can find something great in the "original" database, I'll go for it. But for now, I would stay with what I made.) - Jakob Hammermeier : Being "Ambiguously Gay" isn't the main focus of his character, you've got a point. The main focus, for me, is that he is literally obsessed by Tim Donst who reject him. I'll try to find something close to this idea, but for now, I am agree with the "Lackey" gimmick. - The "Masked Wrestler/Luchadore" case : I'm totally agree with the fact that theses gimmick shouldn't be use in a fed like Chikara (that's why I chose "Gentleman" for Dasher) but like I said, I wanted to work on that later but you brought me good advices and I think that I'll do it now. The main problem is that some gimmicks which could fit them in reality, don't work in the game (by exemple : Armed Force for Soldier... But I think that "Forced Heel" can work). So to make them work properly, I'll have to modify some of the workers' stats and I'm not very familiar with the scale used on the forum. I'll make some test, and I'll be back with needed stats change to see if they fit the wrestler in real life. (Same for The Batiri)

If that's what the roster page says, I'm okay with that !

NOTE 2 : I will also work on non-wrestler workers (gimmick change, needed stat and missing staff). I think that's what I'll do next. NOTE 3 : Maybe that I'll check every wrestlers' stats but even if I play TEW since years, I'm not very talented to find the good stats but I'll do my best if I find something "weird" NOTE 4 : I also planned to work on every CHIKARA biography for all the current roster but my english is far from perfect so I think that I'll need help with that. I won't do it immediately though but if someone want to help, PM me. EDIT : (See NOTE 2 above) Non-Wrestlers : Name - Position in CHIKARA - Gimmick - Note Bryce Remsburg - Referee - Loyalist Jonathan Barber - Referee - Staff Member (Created ===> see below) Daniel Yost - Referee - Staff Member (Created ===> see below) Derek Sabato - Personality - Opportunist Gavin Loudspeaker - Colour commentator - Rocker Leonard F. Chikarason - Announcer - Staff Member - Raise is Announcing to 70 Sidney Bakabella - Manager - Old School Manager - List him as "Male" (not Female) Steven Weiner - Occasional Wrestler - Fun Babyface - Add him to the roster with a PPA Deal. Veronica - Manager - Drama Queen Jonathan Barber & Daniel Yost - I simply copied Bryce Remsburg twice - Put "Colour commentator" to Never for both - Refereing : 75 for Jonathan Barber / 70 for Daniel Yost (just because they are the "Other" and "Other Other" Referee) - Biography : A referee who works in the indies and especialy for Chikara. - Both with a PPA Deal

I'm currently working on an update for CHIKARA's workers, and especially, missing wrestlers who are listed on their website. I already added them with copying other worker's stats, and I'm currently modifying them. Current CHIKARA's roster (wrestlers only) : 17 (Added - Based on Mike Quackenbush's stats - currently "injuried") assailANT Chuck Taylor Colt Cabana (Guest) combatANT (currently "injuried") Create-A-Wrestler (A.k.a Dasher Hatfield) Delirious deviANT Eddie Kingston (Grand Champion) El Generico (Guest) El Hijo Del Ice Cream Fire Ant Frightmare (KOT 2012 Winner) Gran Akuma Green Ant Grizzly Redwood Hallowicked (KOT 2012 Winner) Harlem Bravado (Guest) Icarus Ice Cream, Jr. Jagged (A.k.a. Scott Parker) Jakob Hammermeier (Added - Based on Ares' stats) Jigsaw Johnny Gargano Kobald (Added - Based on Hydra's stats) Kodama Lancelot Bravado (Guest) Mark Angel (A.k.a. Mark Angelosetti - Added - Based on Create-a-Wrestler/Dasher Hatfield's stats - YLC Holder) Matt Jackson (Guest - Campeone de Parejas) Mike Quackenbush Nick Jackson (Guest - Campeone de Parejas) Obariyon Ophidian RD Evans (A.k.a. The Handsome & Mysterious Stranger - The H & M Stranger) Saturyne (Added - Based on Sexy Star's stat) Shane Matthews Soldier Ant Sugar Dunkerton The Shard (Added - Based on Jigsaw's stats) Tim Donst UltraMantis Black (KOT 2012 Winner) I think that I will also add Da Soul Touchaz (Willie "Da Bomb" Richardson, Marshe Rockett and Acid Jazz) because they'll be back at the next Chikara event. I'll also work on wrestler's biography then tag team/stable.

EDIT : Oops, wrong topic.

Yeah, the most important thing is to complete the Chikara regular roster like it is on their website. (PLUS Matt and Nick Jackson as Campeones). Maybe that we can see later for guest's situation. I'll try to work on missing wrestlers despite my lack of "experience" on TEW.

I'm new to TEW 2010 (but a regular user of EWR) and I wanted to say thank you for this real world update, great job ! Here is some modifications to make for CHIKARA : Roster modification : - Add Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson as Heel. They're the new Campeones de Parejas. - Add "Colour Commentator" as a "sometimes" favoured role for UltraMantis Black. Also, raise his Announcing abilities to, at least, C- because he comments most of Chikara's match and do a good job. - Add El Generico. He's not a full-time worker for Chikara, but he can be considered as a recurring guest. (like Colt Cabana or The Bravado Brothers) - Add Sugar Dunkerton as a Face - Add Gran Akuma as a Face - Create Jakob Hammermeier (Heel), Saturyne (Face), Kobald (Heel), Mark Angelosetti (Face) 17 (Heel) & The Shard (Heel). I'll try to provide stats for them. - Add Obariyon, Kodama and Kobald as Chikara Wrestle Factory graduate (Graduation year 2010) - Add Saturyne, 17, the Shard, assailANT, deviANT and combattANT as Chikara Wrestle Factory graduate (Graduation year 2011) Tag Team Modification : - Raise Batiri experience to D - Create Batiri II (Obariyon and Kobald) with D- Exp. - Create Batiri III (Kodama and Kobald) with D- Exp. - Create F.I.S.T. IV (Chuck Taylor and Johnny Gargano) as a regular team with D exp. - Create F.I.S.T. V (Icarus and Johnny Gargano) as an occasional team with E Exp. - Make Dark Breed (UMB & Hallowicked) an active-occasional team, and rename it "The Spectral Envoy" with E Exp. - Create Gekido (17 & The Shard) as an active team with E Exp. - Create The Swarm (assailANT/combatANT), The Swarm II (assailANT/deviANT) and The Swarm III (combatANT/deviANT) as regular teams with E Exp. - Create BDK (Tim Donst/Jakob Hammermeier) as a regular team with E+ Exp. - Add The Throwbacks IV (Dasher Hatfield/Mark Angelosetti) as a regular team with E Exp. Stable Modification : - Rename The Dark Army to The Batiri, add Delirious and Kobald - Make The Osirian Portal inactive - Add a Gekido stable consisting of 17, The Shard, assailANT, combatANT, deviANT with D- Momentum - Add The Swarm consisting of assailANT, combatANT, deviANT with D- Momentum - Add Team 3.0lé consisting of El Generico, Scott "Jagged" Parker and Shane Matthews That's all I see for now. I know that's a lot of work so I'll try to do it myself at first.

Great job on CHIKARA roster Bill ! (And for the complete DATA, like every month.)

I'm also looking for an image of Courtney Prezleigh but I can't find one... Help please ! EDIT: is this her? Thanks a lot dude !
