Being on the creative team doesn't mean that she'll be booking matches... Many writers in the game (and some Road Agents) don't have booking abilities. Even on-screen "Authority Figures" (if they go that route with her) don't need booker to be checked to "make matches" for the shows. ] Fair enough. Now, I admit, I don't watch TNA too often, but last I knew, she was in a match with Gail Kim ( a pretty good one, IIRC) for the Knockouts Title. On top of that, literally every other female in TNA (except Hemme, who is a NW) is a midcarder... Why would Taryn need to be dropped? I didn't make the original suggestion, but I'd assume it's simply because she's been out on maternity leave since those matches with Gail. I guess I see the point; she will probably need to regain some ground when she returns. I'd disagree on that one; she still uses Rosita as her ring name (most recently on 3/29/14 for NEW).

Thanks Bill! -Tick Booker for Christy Hemme (http://www.pwinsider.com/article/84828/tna-reveals-new-creative-team-member.html?p=1) -Turn Goodlord Willing face and make is primary finisher "Forward Russian Legsweep" (impact) -Staff announcer Marc Lloyd's name should be spelled "Marc Loyd" ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1154263/?ref_=rvi_nm ) While IMDb doesn't have a birthdate for him, I'd increase his age somewhat to around mid 30s. His in-game age is currently 27, which would make him around 15 when he started with WWE in 2002.

From a Gail Kim interview (http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/tna/Gail_Kim_Talks_About_Lei_D_Tapa_Leaving_TNA_Changes_to_the_Knockouts_Division_More.html): "Alpha Female was just a temporary thing over in the UK. Who knows for her in the future? She's got a great look and presence, but she's not part of our regular roster right now, just to clear that up." If she had already been added, remove Alpha Female from TNA.

Looks like Lei'D Tapa's departure from TNA is legit. http://pwinsider.com/article/84403/tna-knockout-done-with-tna.html?p=1

Impact spoilers Add HOH valet/actress Monique Dupree to the game:

A couple of worker additions and other miscellaneous things. Add: Bonnie Oddity Chip Stetson Northern Studd Other: -Change Garrett Dylan's name to Jody Kristofferson. -Change Fronz Roddy's gimmick to Old School Face. -Change Raymond Rowe's primary finisher to Death Rowe (impact) and secondary to Chaos Theory (impact). It looks like he and (Todd) Hanson are going to be a regular tag team in ROH going forward, so maybe go ahead and add that team in the game. -Maybe tick Booker for Sonjay Dutt, due to his behind-the-scenes work for Ring Ka King.

Not on TV, but they have been doing house shows semi-regularly since then, most recently on 3/2.

As always, thanks for the update! TNA Lockdown spoilers

Probably not really a TNA spoiler this point, but cut to be safe - -Tick Trainer for Bill Wiles and The Blue Meanie (they're trainers at the Monster Factory - http://www.monsterfactory.org/how-to-become-a-student-at-the-monster-factory/ ) -Since there's been talk of cutting down the Tag Team file - I think both "HLA Duo" and "WCW Divas" could probably be deleted. I don't recall Stacy and Torrie teaming up more than a couple of times, and I'm not sure Looney Lane and Savvy ever actually teamed outside of the HLA angle on Raw.

Big Daddy V has passed away; remove him from the game. ( http://pwinsider.com/article/83673/former-wwe-star-nelson-big-daddy-v-frazier-jr-passes-away.html?p=1 ) Just a few random, minor notes: -Make Curtis Thompson a non-wrestler (retired 2005). -Rename Katarina Leigh's primary finisher to "Ice-Breaker" (impact) and make her secondary finisher "Knee Neckbreaker" (impact) -Swap Rosita's finishers - primary being Diving Moonsault; secondary being Fly Cutter -Maybe rename the Whitmer and Jacobs tag team to something like "Decade I"; make their tag finisher "All Seeing Eye."

For what it's worth, Sonjay worked the "Old School" One Night Only that was taped two weeks ago (airs next month, I believe).

Thanks Bill! Minor tweaks for TNA and FWE... TNA FWE

Personally I'd probably go with Underdog for his gimmick (and for Norv's too), and Face alignment. But looks good, thanks! Also, here's a pic for him: http://tinyurl.com/o5dozyv

TNA updates - apologies if any of this has already been suggested; if it was I somehow missed it

FWE update part 2. Add a title to FWE called "FWE Openweight Grand Prix Championship" (singles title, no restrictions, 28 image). It's held by Alter the card positions to these workers as follows (recommendations based solely on their real-life positions in FWE): 2 Cold Scorpio - midcard Angelina Love - midcard Bandido Jr. - lower midcard Brian Kendrick - midcard DOC - upper midcard Eddie Kingston - midcard Homicide - midcard James Maritato - midcard Katarina Leigh - midcard Matt Striker - midcard Petey Williams - midcard Rhett Titus - midcard Stevie Richards - midcard Ted DiBiase Jr. - upper midcard Wes Draven - lower midcard I'd also probably bump up EJ Risk and VSK's Over to 30 or a bit above and maybe put them up to midcard level. They are FWE's Tag Champs and involved in a high-profile feud over the belts with the Young Bucks. To flesh out the company's starting staff a bit, add: Senior referee Uncle Steven Comrade Chow At this point I'd probably also recommend going ahead and removing Tony DeVito the Worker list and adding him to Staff as a Road Agent (staff stats provided in last month's thread). Other than his brief special appearance in the HOH3 battle royal, his last regular match (per Cagematch) was in 2011 and due to his reported health condition he probably won't be doing much if any in-ring work again. Plus doing so would give FWE at least one Road Agent to start with.

Thanks again Bill! I attended FWE's 'Openweight Grand Prix: Second Round' event last night. Here's some updates from that show (nothing spoiler-y) and other recent goings-on. Roster changes: -Remove Harry Smith, Jillian Hall, Melina and Shawn Daivari from FWE - they all last appeared for them in 2012. -Probably also safe to remove Azrieal, K-Murda and K-Pusha from FWE - they all last appeared for them in Feb. '13 and there's no indication of them returning imminently. -Add Candice LeRae as a lower midcard face. -Add Chuck Taylor as a midcard heel. -Add Karen Jarrett as a non-wrestler face with the Commissioner gimmick. -Add Orange Cassidy as a midcard face. -Christina Von Eerie, Shane Strickland and Taeler Hendrix debuted for FWE. They all already have three promotions in-game, but I'll make note of it so that if they leave one of those they can be added to FWE. -Make Sonjay Dutt's TNA contract Open and add him to FWE. He's been a regular on both FWE and HOH shows in the second half of 2013. -Make AJ Pan's FWE contract Written. (All other Worker contracts for FWE should be Open.) Alignment changes: -Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson are now faces. -EJ Risk and VSK are now heels. Gimmick changes: -Change Maryse Ouellet's FWE gimmick to Staff Member and alignment to Face. She's only appeared on-screen for them as a neutral/face color commentator. -Change Matt Morgan's FWE gimmick to Monster. -Change Matt Striker's FWE gimmick to Arrogant. Although he regularly does color commentary for them, he's also made several in-ring appearances using his Teacher gimmick. Minor Tweaks: -Add "Maple Leaf Muscle" and "Little Petey Pump" to Petey Williams' alter egos and rename his primary finisher to "Canadian Destroyer." -Tara is good friends with Matt and Nick Jackson IRL (information gleaned simply by speaking to all three of them at recent events). Not sure where the conversation on adding relationships is currently (haven't followed the Theory & Practice thread in a bit) so do with that what you will. Miscellaneous (not related to current FWE): -Add "The Blue Tilly" to Big Tilly's alter egos -Tick Announcer for Prince Nana. Card positions for a number of workers in FWE should be tweaked as there's an overabundance at Main Event level which is not representative of their real-world position in the company. I'll work on coming up with a list for that tomorrow.

Second thoughts on adding DeVito to the FWE roster: His appearance in the battle royal not withstanding (based on the article, likely a one-time thing - doesn't sound like he'll be doing any normal matches anytime soon), maybe the more accurate course of action would be to take him out of the workers list and add him as a Road Agent staff member? Edit: If he were to be switched from Workers to Staff, here's a quick staff stats workup:

Update to FWE following House of Hardcore 3. No real spoilers, I don't think, but I'll put it under the cut anyway for the sake of courtesy.

Yeah, based on that either way works. No big deal either way, but my understanding was always that in disputed cases like this, in-game nationality went by actual birthplace; hence why, say, Katarina Leigh is listed in-game as European rather than British (the obvious exception being those born on military bases - why Kane is, rightly, American in-game rather than European).
