Sorry,
*Yuki Miazaki should be set to retired, not Yuji Miazaki
"Mayumi Ozaki" seems to be the common name, so I guess im wrong.
Ok, I figured out the problem with Natsuki Taiyo and Shu Shibutani not having pictures:
The name is "Shuu Shibutani" in the database, but her picture is titled "Shu_Shibutani.jpg" with 1 U. It doesn't give her a picture unless you link it manually. I think 1 U is the more widely accepted translation, but I've seen both.
Natsuki Taiyo used to be called Natsuki*HEAD, and her picture is "Natsuki_Head.jpg," by default it gives her a blank picture.
They'll have to be manually selected to display correctly, most people will probably see blank pictures unless they do this.
So, you may wish to synchronize the picture files with the data files if you want all people to see pictures.

I may be able to help for ICE and JWP. I used to follow JWP more before Azumi Hyuga retired. (She was my all time favorite female wrestler)
Kaori Yoneyama could use some large skill increases. One of the better female wrestlers in the world. Some people think she is THE best. You could check out some of her highlight videos on youtube, and I would recommend her JWP title match vs Hyuga. Or recently, her SMASH match vs Shuri is decent. Shuri is way over in SMASH and talented for her experience level.
BIO: Current ace of JWP. She combines high-flying, technical and brawling skills into a mesh of high-energy action. Kaori wrestled her entire career for JWP, winning every title in the promotion as well as several others. Her stubby build is not ideal.

Emi Sakura could use a bio and some stat adjustments.
BIO: A versatile Joshi veteran who was a freelancer for most of her career. Sakura briefly retired from competition before opening a wrestling school in 2006 that has grown into the ICE Ribbon promotion. Former singles champion in AJW, AWF, NEO & ICE.

Other SMASH and joshi stuff:
Hajime Ohara Wrestled in Mexico.
Hajime Ohara Was trained by Ultimo Dragon.
Kana and Nanae Takahashi should have strong dislike, Kana had an ugly split from Passion Red
Nanae Takahashi and Natsuki Taiyo form a faction/team called Passion Red, medium experience
Natsuki Taiyo needs a picture
Shu Shibutani needs a picture
Apple Miyuki is part of Osaka Pro Wrestling
Yuji Miazaki should be set to retired.
Tanny Mouse should be set to retired.
Haruka Matsuo (Retired Joshi) was born in 1981, not 1987.
"Mayumi Ozaki" should be named Mayuki Ozaki
Chihiro Oikawa should be set to "left the business" or retired- got married
Dump Matsumoto should be Semi-Active, and rarely wrestles
Takako Inoue was one of the bigger names in Joshi from the 90's till now and is not in the game. (removed for some reason?)She still wrestles.
Michiko Omukai was another big name who is not in game, though she retired a little while ago.

<- marks for Kurt Angle
Alright, I'll start with the main storylines in SMASH:
FCF Title:
A FCF championship match is the main event the majority of the time.
Starbuck brought the title to SMASH and defended it against several SMASH wrestlers.
Hajime Ohara went to Finland to try to win the title, but after losing became loyal to Starbuck.
Tajiri finally won the FCF title, but then Kovac came and attacked Starbuck and SMASH.
Kovac took the title from Tajiri and is now bringing in various foreign lackeys to fight against SMASH.
Shuri Push:
Shuri starts having matches against various high-level Joshi talent, coached by Tajiri.
Shuri feuds with Kana after Kana bullies her and beats her in a rematch, gaining her respect.
Shuri goes on a winning streak before narrowly losing a JWP title match against Kaori Yoneyama.
Lin Bairon gets more and more jealous of Shuri's succes and starts acting maliciously. Lin never lost to Shuri.
Shuri finally beats Lin, who runs off crying and dejected. Kovac takes advantage of Lin and gets her on his side.
Kana's Attempted Takeover:
Kana does not like how Tajiri runs SMASH (valuing foreign stars and big names over her)& vows to take over SMASH.
Tajiri does not take her seriously, defeats Kana 1v1 and covers her in green mist, humiliating her.
Kana brings in Triple Tails to help her, they make terroristic threats and begin random attacks on SMASH.
Triple Tails defeats Tajiri's team in a 3v3 match, Tajiri brings in Funaki to face Kana next.
Other:
Akira Shoji faces various MMA-type opponents.
AKIRA is eccentric but always defends SMASH.
KUSHIDA was being built up & winning over rivals to his side. His last match will be vs Ohara, his chief rival.
FCF invader Jessica Love kept chasing after Ohara, who was repulsed at first. He later "switched sides" to join FCF.
There are usually a few joshi matches, many girls from ICE Ribbon lately.
Tajiri gets another "big" name or two for every card to face the SMASH roster. It's a revolving door.
Here's the roster as I see it:
Main Eventers:
Tajiri - Face - Gimmick: Martial Artist
Michael Kovac - Heel Gimmick: Super Heel. (FCF champion, uses lackeys from EU)
Starbuck - Heel Gimmick: Outsider
Upper Midcarders:

Mentallo - Heel Gimmick: Luchadore, Mysterious
Yoshiaki Yago - Face Gimmick: Impressionist (Scott Hall)
Emi Sakura - Face Gimmick: Mentor (trains many students, ICE Ribbon Tag Champ w/ Lin Bairon as RAY)
Takao Omori - Heel/Face Gimmick: Old Lion/No Gimmick Needed
Lower Midcarders:
Yuji Kito - Face Gimmick: Old School Face/None
Isami Kodaka - Face/Heel Gimmick: Extremist
Mio Shirai - Heel Gimmick: Cocky Youth
Io Shirai - Heel Gimmick: Cocky Youth

Openers:

Semi-Active Wrestlers:

Starbuck, when it comes to FCF title.
Factions:
FCF: Starbuck, Hajime Ohara, Jessica Love
ICE Ribbon: Emi Sakura, Makoto, Hikari Minami, Hikaru Shida, Tsukasa Fujimoto, Chii Tomiya
Triple Tails: Kana, Mio Shirai, Io Shirai
JWP: Commando Bolshoi, Kaori Yoneyama, Tsubasa Kuragaki
Most of the joshi's aren't given strong Heel/Face roles except Triple Tails and Lin Bairon(heel) & Shuri and Makoto (face)
Workers who are excluded: (none have a major role)Bambi (joshi) Last appeared DEC 24, future uncertain.. Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler
KUSHIDA - Leaving for NJPW
Minoru Suzuki - Last appeared DEC 11, Probably a 1-time thing.. Gimmick: MMA Shooter or Legend
Gypsy Joe Last appeared DEC 11, probably a 1-time thing.. Gimmick: Legend
Sir Robin - no stats, set to debut in SMASH.. Gimmick: ~weasel lackey to Kovac
Gabriel ANtonic - no stats, set to debut in SMASH.. Gimmick: ~ cocky/prettyboy lackey to Kovac
Cybernetic Machine - no stats, 1 appearance.. Gimmick: ~ enforcer lackey to Kovac
Golem Knight - no stats ~ powerhouse
Riho - no stats, set to debut in SMASH ~young joshi (ICE Ribbon)
Tsukushi - no stats, set to debut in SMASH ~ young joshi (ICE Ribbon)
Mochi Miyagi - no stats, set to debut in SMASH ~ rookie joshi (ICE Ribbon)

Ken Ohya - no stats, 1 appearance ~ weirdo
Sayaka Obinhiro - injured ~ rookie joshi (ICE Ribbon)
Azul Dragon no stats, lost tryout match ~ masked wrestler
Tommy Dreamer, face ~ legend (He will return sometime when schedule permits)
Other SMASH things:
Tsubasa Kuragaki is not so much of a high flyer these days, too heavy now. Maybe 50.
Super Crazy also got heavy and lost most of his high flying skills. 50s at best IMO.
As I said before, Funaki's skills are lower across the board.
Akira Shoji trains Shuri for MMA type matches. She's had some under a different name, "Akari"
Mio and Io Shirai have extensive tag experience with each other. Sometimes called the Purple Thunder Sisters.
Emi Sakura and RAY(Lin Bairon) are tag champs in ICE Ribbon
Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto are a regular tag team
Tajiri and AKIRA are often tag partners, to represent SMASH
I'd give Tajiri a strong friendship with Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer sent Tajiri a gift for not being able to make the reschedule that Tajiri would not reveal. (I suspect it might be a championship belt they will have a match for)

Other Smash Suggestions:
Isami Kodaka was omitted from my previous list by my error, he's a SMASH regular. I think he should have superstar quality +10% or so.
AKIRA could use a new pic. Increase his comedy performance from Weak to Medium.
Tajiri should have his leg health reduced by 15% or so, knee surgeries. His english should be at least passable: Wrestlers have said he has perfect English when he wants to and when he is drunk. Probably Strong Friendship with Super Crazy, road buddies in ECW and WWE, now Tajiri has brought him to SMASH.
Hajime Ohara could use a new pic. He has a new look that makes him stand out more. Could also use a slight increase to some stats like brawling IMO. His finisher is a diving forearm smash. He competed in Finland recently.
Alright, that might be it for a little while. If you need help finding more pics for SMASH guys, I can probably do that. Should make SMASH more playable, though i think they have way less money than 800k. 250k would be generous IMO.

Most of these women are students of Emi Sakura from ICE Ribbon and may not be SMASH regulars. I believe Makoto and KAORU have worked multiple shows.
SMASH/FCF* regulars who still need to be added to game are:Yusuke Kodama
Yuji Kito
Akira Shoji
STARBUCK (FCF)
Michael Kovac(FCF)
Jessica Love(FCF)
*FCF = Fight Club Finland, SMASH recognizes FCF title
Maybe I can do this at some point.
From SMASH's next card you may wish to add:Sabu*
TAKA Michinoku*
Sho Funaki
ULTIMO DRAGON
Jon Cutler
-------not in game--------
Sir Robin (FCF)
Gabriel Antonic (FCF)
*recurring appearance in SMASH
Tommy Dreamer vs. Starbuck was dropped from the card after it was rescheduled to 3/31 due to tsunami. Tommy Dreamer had worked for SMASH before, it may be safe to add him. 3/31 will be KUSHIDA's last match in SMASH.
Source: http://www.smashxsma...rd.html#smash15
You can also view all the results back to SMASH 11 on the website. Older results 404. Many wrestlers appeared once for SMASH, Serena Deeb appeared twice.
-
Let me amend something RQ:
According to SMASH website, Syuri/Shuri's DOB is 2/1989. (1st source was wrong)
Other SMASH/joshi news
Kana sent a letter basically declaring Tajiri unfit to run SMASH, and vowed to take control. (also mentioned in SMASH Youtube vid)
At the last SMASH event, Kana disrupted the show with stablemates Mio and Io Shirai
So, it looks like Mio and Io Shirai are involved with SMASH now

.
Ice Ribbon, JWP and WAVE are the only feds I notice currently running regular shows right now so if a I were to add a joshi fed it will most likely be one of them (most likely Ice Ribbon cause I do like what their doing from the minimal stuff I've seen).
Ice Ribbon is somewhat interesting in that they have been pioneering a new business model. They comprise mostly of youngsters, but they run 2 small shows from their dojo each week, drawing maybe 100 people. They also do bigger shows every month or two, drawing the typical joshi crowd of around 500 or so. Additionally, they have a webshow on Ustream which i recently found out about called 19Pro. (It wont let me post links without YouMustEnteraPost error msg.) It gets about 1000 viewers and airs at 19:00 in Japan. (That's 10AM GMT, 5AM EST) Next show is tomorrow, Feb 7. ICE has a less serious style than promotions such as JWP and Wave, which are more traditional and feature more seasoned wrestlers. JWP is still a larger promotion than ICE, and I think they even have some kind of TV deal. They also seem to have begun to run shows from their training facility as well, with about the same results. Sendai Girls is another school/promotion, which is more traditional and runs shows semi-regularly. Oz Academy still runs shows, using mostly veterans. Stardom and Diana are two new promotions, just getting their start. Then you have some individual wrestlers and stables putting together the occasional event. And that's about it for Joshi feds.
Here are some suggestions for some of the SHIMMER and 2 SMASH Joshis.

Whew, that's it for now.

I mostly follow the big promotions, but I will try to start making some decent suggestions for joshi and maybe some of the neglected looking japanese wrestlers i know about. The thing about joshi these days is that there are no big promotions left and most of the promotions share talent. A lot of the veterans are in S-Ovation. On the whole, I think joshi popularity bottomed out over the last couple years but is now starting to grow again. New promotions are springing up with some success and Kurihara's even been getting some mainstream sports network coverage, which is very unusual. Puroresu Representin' (perhaps you know of it) is a good English blog for Japanese wrestling results and info. It also has profiles for many Japanese wrestlers. However, the author does not use dates, but instead uses quantitative numbers like age and years. I think most of these profiles were written in 2009, and may not all be up to date.
As for the Shirais, they've been around a few years now, since 2007 or earlier. I haven't seen a whole lot of them, but i like what i do. They are still a bit unpolished, but stand out due to being flashy, edgy and attractive. (At least by joshi standards) To which point, i don't think you've added your pics of them.
Here I will add suggestions:
Io Shirai:
BIO: "Io Shirai is an acrobatic young joshi wrestler who competes primarily in tag team wrestling along with her older sister Mio Shirai in a variety of promotions. Previously associated with TEAM MAKEHEN, Io is now a freelancer and works in a variety of different promotions. She & Mio are viewed as future superstars and are considered to be young heartthrobs as well thanks in part to their good looks. The sisters have recently formed the "Three Tails" stable, along with Kana. " - mostly copied from Puroresu Representin' Blog.

Mio Shirai:
BIO: "Mio Shirai is a joshi wrestler who competes primarily in tag team matches with her younger sister Io Shirai, but also does a bit more singles wrestling than her sister. Her gimmick is unique in that it suggests she's more of a shoot wrestler/fighter as she wears what appears to be MMA gloves and often utilizes very stiff-looking kicks as part of her arsenal. Like her sister she was previously associated with TEAM MAKEHEN but is now a freelancer. She is considered a future star and some have billed her and Io as joshi's newest heartthrobs.The sisters have recently formed the "Three Tails" stable, along with Kana."

KANA: (add to SMASH, one of the most talented young joshis today)
BIO:
Kana is a 7-year veteran who started out in ARSION & AtoZ in 2004, but became a freelancer in 2007. She finally broke through in October 2009, winning her first career title-the NEO Tag Team Championship with Nanae Takahashi before the two had a falling out. She sometimes uses a shootfight style in the ring, employing stiff-looking kicks that hit as hard as they sound. In 2010 she formed the "Three Tails" stable aong with Mio and Io Shirai, and has begun her own promotion called KANA PRO. - some info from the blog

Finishing up with a little men's puro.

I will second that, if not higher than B-.
Surely, this is above 18% power:

In other puro related stats, Minoru Suzuki could use a little love. Most notably, his Menace is only 18%, and he is somewhat of an intimidator.
Right, RG?

I would also boost his Charisma, Superstar Quality and Looks above 50% at least.
And change performance ratings:
Cool Performance: Weak -> Medium
Cocky Performance: Weak -> Medium
Comedy Performance: Weak -> Medium
And that's probably all for the moment. If you have a preferred format for suggestions, just name it and i will try to conform next time.

Hello, I have recently begun to play TEW05 and was pleased to find this mod. For the most part it seems very good. However, joshi could use some maintenance. I'm not an expert on Joshi, but I will give some help.
Ai Fujita retired many years ago. I think about 5 years ago.
AKINO should probably be semi-active, and her 70% aerial should be reduced since she rarely does much high-flying these days.
Ayako Sato should have some MMA ability. She spent a couple years doing MMA but was unsuccessful.
Ayumi Kurihara has wrestled in Mexico several times as a face, including for CMLL, sometimes as masked AYUMI. She won a hardcore title in Mexico last year. Her main finisher is a uranage, and she sometimes uses a wrist-clutch uranage, missile dropkick or flying double knee as finishers. She should have higher aerial ability, as she is primarily a high-flyer. At the end of 2009, she won the NEO tag team championships with Yoshiko Tamura. At the end of 2010, she won the NWA Women's Pacific Championship and became the final NEO singles champion before it closed down. She also runs her own show annually. Here are cropped IMG of her with a mask:
Devil Masami retired in 2008.
Etsuko Mita retired a year or two ago.
Fuka "retired" from in ring last year, but is still around the business. I dunno if she will stay retired.
Haruka Matsuo retired about 2 years ago. She has done commentary and appearances a couple times.
Hiroyo Matsumoto should have her power rating increased as she is mostly a power wrestler. Her finisher is a high-angle backdrop. I would say she has more power than Nattie Neidhart(rated 65% power,) but less than Sara Del Rey(43%) and Beth Phoenix(75%). Might want to rework those stats?
Io Shirai lacks pics and could also use an update. I think most of her ratings are too low, probably made when she was a rookie. She is an acrobatic high flyer who uses cool/bad heel type gimmicks, as well as a masked Kunoichi gimmick. She uses some kind of somersault dropkick from the turnbuckle as a finisher. She teams with her sister Mio and wrestler Kana to form the "Three Tails" freelancer stable. Here are pics:
Jaguar Yakota is almost 50 years old now and I think her skills have degraded, but she is still active.
Mariko Yoshida might be retired. Semi-active at most.
Meiko Satomura now runs a promotion of younger wrestlers called Sendai Girls. She is trainer, mentor, booker and active wrestler. Sendai girls also tour other promotions. She should be reclassified as small or very small, as she is only 5'2" but with solid build. She could also use a better pic, here's some:
Mio Shirai is the older of the Shirai sisters. She is the more rounded one, also usually doing cool/heelish gimmicks and sometimes wearing a mask. Her skills have improved, she is a bit more technical than Io. Goes in the "Three Tails" stable with sister Io and Kana. Also lacks pics..
Misaki Ohata should have lower Aerial and higher Submission and Mat Work ratings, as she is more of a submission wrestler than a high flyer.
Nanae Takahashi now runs a small stable/promotion called Passion Red. They run a few shows a year and also tour other promotions. Other members were Natsuki Taiyo and Kana, but Kana left after having a fight with Nanae.
Tomoka Nakagawa uses a running kneeling clothesline as her finisher. She has worked in Mexico. She doesn't really do much aerial, but she has done some hardcore wrestling. I think she was affiliated with the Revolution Amandola stable with Kyoko Kimura. I think she is good friends with Hiroyo Matsumoto.. Always plays a mean heel now.
Yoshiko Tamura retired December 2010.

I am using the "March" People.rar file downloaded from this thread. It must be different than your files. I re-downloaded it just now, and it is as I said. You can check it yourself if you want.
