Untick USA Region for WWE Network

Add a broadcasting deal for Events Live and On Demand for NBC Peacock. 

I'm not really watching WWE these days, do they air any other programming on the network that would need a broadcasting deal with Peacock? Main Event?

- Add Matt Hardy to Impact on a Hanshake deal. Heel, Big Money Matt, Swagger gimmick. Role is manager. 

- Add Isiah Kassidy to Impact on a Hanshake deal. Heel, Party Animal, Swagger gimmick and Matt Hardy set as manager.

- Add Marq Quen to Impact on a Hanshake deal. Heel, Party Animal, Swagger gimmick and Matt Hardy set as Manager. 

- Create Private Party (Impact) Tag team of Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen in Impact. 

- Create a tag team of Chris Sabin and James Storm in Impact, formed Jan 2021. 

- Remove Taya Valkyrie from the Impact roster she finished up this week. 

- Remove Zicky Dice from NWA

Some changes following Hard to Kill.

- I would add a working agreement between Impact and NJPW. Christ Bey has worked the Super J Cup recently and Omega/Gallows/Anderson stable have openly called themselves Bullet Club and event worn the logos and gear at HDK - I think Scott D'Amore has finally talked them round into forgetting the 2010 Okada stuff. 

- Add Impact Super X Cup Tournament Title. Ace Austin wont the 2021 Edition. Title Lineages are: 

- Set Pat Patterson status to Deceased 

- Add Mike Bennett to ROH, Written deal not exclusive, Babyface. He returned November 2020

- Also add Maria Kanellis to ROH as a road agent. 

https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2021/01/the-rascalz-debut-on-wwe-nxt-as-msk-680036/

- Copy Rascalz tag-team to NXT and re-name them MSK.

- Rename Dezmond Xavier to Wes Lee.

- Rename Zachary Wentz to Nash Carter. 

So it appears there is a shakeup in commentary at Impact as per the below statement, Madison Rayne will "discuss her future" at Hard to Kill so assuming she is going to be retiring as was indicated in the sheets or shes coming back in an in ring capacity. Josh is now behind the scenes. 

Set Matt Striker to Announcer and D'Lo Brown to announcer and colour commentator and company main announcers. 

Set Josh Matthews to Road Agent/Personality

Add a deal to show events with Vubiquity, noticed they are another carrier of impact ppvs on the press release. 

And we'll have to wait till Sunday to see what Madisons status will be. 

- Remove AJ Kirsch from MLW, hes announced hes a free agent now. Made an appearance on AEW Dark under the Joe Brody gimmick, so add him to AEW on a handshake deal. https://www.wrestlinginc.com/news/2021/01/aj-kirsch-announces-he-no-longer-with-mlw-679993/

- Add Gregory Shane Helms to WWE as a producer/ road agent under a written deal.

Yeah this was pointed out on GDS, it's been fixed, blame Eric Young!

Lol yes i thought it might be that, he and ODB were the last to hold it.

Add Ric Flair to WWE under a written contract, Heel Nature Boy Swagger gimmick, and set as Manager of Lacey Evans

Double check the Impact Knockouts Tag-Team Titles settings, as the Motor City Machine Guns just won them in my save.

Please don't let Ashley Lane become the next Reno SCUM/James Mitchell, where every other month you suggest removing them and adding them back. If she's at the next PPV, I'll add her back.

As for Rhino,

https://www.cagematch.net/?id=2&nr=410&view=&page=4&gimmick=&year=&promotion=&region=Europa&location=&arena=&showtype=&constellationType=&worker=

But then again, for any promotion not running right now, you could viable axe half the roster.

LOL Hey im just reporting it as it happens. RENO and Mitchell left and then they came back. Impacts roster is a lot more volatile these days. She is still on the roster page on the website but yeah best waiting to see what Hard to Kill brings. 

As for Rhino, one match in a year and given the pandemic highly unlikely he'll be back across the water, i'm removing it from mine, just personal preference I like it to be as real to life lol it would bug me if I left it.

Speaking of which - owners of impact being set to anthem and ROH being sinclair - any thoughts of revisiting that? I know it limits options for those promotions with regards broadcasting deals but isn't that true to life? They both insist on airing their shows in USA/CANADA on their respective owners channels.

Was Genesis not pretaped beforehand?

Good point, taped in December it seems. I guess we'll find out at Hard To Kill PPV this month as it hasn't been taped. Expecting Matt Striker to take over duties if she is indeed gone but haven't seen any reference to her leaving on impact programming or her social media. 

- Update Don Callis' Impact Gimmick to "Hidden Hand", Weasly/Underdog, Very Good, New. And tick Manager.

- Add Don Callis to AEW on a handshake deal and set as Kenny Omega's manager.  Manager and Colour Commentator ticked only. 

- Add Kenny Omega to Impact Wrestling on an ongoing handshake deal.  Contract Began Dec 2020. Gimmick -- Heel, Cocky, Swagger, Very Good, Established. Manager Don Callis.  Also change him to a Heel in AEW. 

- Add Ashley Lane to Impact Wrestling as Madison Rayne, set to Colour Commentry and Road Agent. Written Deal, began Nov 2017. Heel, Gimmick = Queen Bee, Swagger, Established. And set to default announcer with Josh Mathews. (There were news reports in the sheets she had left the business altogether, but clearly not as she commentated on genesis last night.) 

- Set Cody Deaner to a Heel last turn recent. He's part of Eric Youngs stable now with Joe Doering not sure if they have a name though yet. 

- Remove Ethan Page, his contract expired Dec 31st and he's now a free agent. He's also shut his online store, assuming thats a sign hes WWE/NXT bound. 

- Add Blake Christian to Impact on a Handshake per show deal, began Jan 2021, ongoing. Babyface, traditional/standard gimmick

- Add KC Navarro to Impact on a Handshake per show deal, began Jan 2021, ongoing. Heel, Cocky, Swagger gimmick. He also needs a photo.

- Remove Alex Shelley from ROH he hasnt worked there for a year. He worked GCW and BLP in October if you want to add those alongside existing agreements with Impact and AIW, all handshake deals. 

- Remove Rhino from RPW-UK, i cant find any record of him working there in 2020/2019 on cagematch unless im missing something. Alongside Impact he has been working JCW events in Michigan here and there. 

- Remove Tasha Steelz from NWA, she made her final appearance there in may 2020

- Add Bill Goldberg to WWE under a written deal. Expires in 2 Years as it covers to end of 2022. Hes contracted for two appearances per year, so thats 4 remaining appearances to be set if now, if in feb update - id assume RR will count as one so 3.

• Add a Broadcasting Deal between Impact and Premier Sports for Events, Prime Time.
• Remove Broadcasting Deal between MLW Fusion and Freesports.

• Remove Stu Bennett from NWA and add a written deal with NXT.

09/12 Update

• Add Fit Finlay back to WWE as a road agent, he returned in November. 

Add a talent trading arrangement between AEW and IMPACT Wrestling i guess. 

Converting a 2016 mod to 2020 but have heard due to the database changes this year its not as simple as just converting, that some data gets lost i.e. Road Agents experience all goes to 0. For those that have done conversions, What other issues are there so i know to look for these and fix before starting a game?

• The Broadcaster MTS should be renamed Bell MTS and under the owernship of media group Bell Media
• TNT Serie should have owning media group as Time Warner.
• Add Matt Striker to the Impact Wrestling Roster, he's currently working as a producer and also Commentating on Xplosion with Don Callis - so edit Xplosions announce team also. 
• Eric Young is the Impact World Champion. 
   
• Would it be worth changing impact wrestling’s base location back to South East USA? I know their a Canadian owned company now but they tape the majority of their shows in the US still in fact mostly currently at skyway studios in Nashville. Which if not already in the database would need added.  It’s a tv production studios in Nashville,TN. I’d say all the stats would be same as Universal Soundstage other than attendance/capacity as the sound stages look smaller I’d cap it at 600 max. It was opened in 1949 originally as a drive in Theater. 

These are excellent WHO, i've been manually adding these to use in this months update and they look great in game. I did notice one small error though. The broadcaster logos for CBC and CBS are mixed up. 

CBS_1966, CBS_1974, CBS_1986, CBS_1992 are all actually CBC logos so just a quick rename needed. 

Just wondering if anyone can link to a working 2001 mod for TEW 2020? Obviously one of the best eras to play, remember playing Genadi's WCW Lives mod back on 2013 and really enjoying it but haven't been able to find any from this period for 2020. Thanks in advance. 

Since your updating the database, heres some Impact Wrestling cleanup - 

Remove --

- Father James Mitchell -- They killed him off in storyline a while ago, dont see them re-using him anytime soon.

- Mike Posey - Referee who hasn't worked there in a while. Brandon Tolle confirmed on twitter the current referees are just him and a new guy from OVW called Daniel Spencer. The other ref currently with them in your DB is Harry Demerjian, they seem to use them each time they run a show in Canada but its been a while so id probably leave him on the roster as PPA anyway. 

- Glenn Gilbertti - Disco hasnt worked a show for them in a good while now, he tends to be a one shot sort of thing like Shark Boy etc, remove him. 

- Jade Chung - I dont recall Jade competing with Impact? I could be wrong. Perhaps she's added as she presents the twitch stream with her husband Josh Alexander? if thats the case them ignore and keep her on there. 

Add

- Daniel Spencer - Referee from Louisville, KY. Copy the stats of Mike Posey or Brandon Tolle. Age and Debut dates etc here https://ovwrestling.com/about-us/announcing-management-team/daniel-spencer/

- Caleb Konley under the Suicide gimmick - hes been performing under the hood on the weekly tv's for a while now. 

Set the Broadcaster Frontrunner to closed. It folded in January 2020 and is no longer broadcasting.

https://www.f4wonline.com/mlw-news/m...al-dazn-312911
Add a broadcast deal for MLW Fusion and DAZN - On Demand, 20% to Co, Min Quality 33

Remove the broadcasting deal between Impact and Ran Fighting, that deal has expired and they no longer air on there.

Not sure if your planning to add indian broadcasters but if so add a broadcasting deal between Impact and Sony Ten 2 - it airs on Sundays at 3pm there.

I was looking to update/upgrad my broadcasters and in doing so has moved over to a different style, simple plain basic logos, I'm also naming them with the year the logo as used to be helpful when doing historical mods or if anyone else wishes to use them.

Here is a small preview with a general cross section of image styles.

So this is just excellent who. I like the simpler logos they really pop, find the grey backgrounds almost take away from some of the cool logos and their brand colours etc, this looks really sleak. I know it’s a lot of work doing these so kudos, would love to see the promotion logos go this way eventually too. 

Gees, with all that is going on on twitter tonight, Expect a lot of scandal records for this next months update... 

New Broadcasting deal for MLW

https://411mania.com/wrestling/aew-uk-ppv-home-itv-box-office-shuts-down-operations/

ITV Box office has been shuttered. Close it and remove PPV Events deal with AEW. 

No confirmation where AEW PPVs are going to air in the UK, if at all in the future. Likely Fite TV app. 

https://411mania.com/wrestling/impact-wrestling-announces-date-for-rebellion-in-april/

Rebellion seems to have become an annual staple for Impact and one of their main ppv's. Should be added to april instead of ONO PPV and hopefully the logo can be added to the pic pack. thanks. 

add him to impact
