There's an epic five year bump.

Poor Brandon Knight. 1st the Irving thing at ASW, now this.

He's in there as Percy Pringle =(

I wonder if I am doing something wrong. Similar to what DJ Taylor said. The link in the 2/3/13 post with the DATA just sends me to the first page of the thread.

Yes! My fault on that one.

I'll edit this post with some notes in the scenario, which is awesome for the record. -British Bulldog needs to be removed. He died in May 2002. -Ric Flair shouldn't be a non-wrestler. -Arguably, The Rock should be a non-wrestler. His last full time schedule as around Wrestlemania X8. -Tazz should be a non-wrestler (or even removed and put in as staff). He retired in 2002 and became Smackdown's full-time announcer in April 2002. -Randy Orton should be on Smackdown and not in development. He debuted in April. -K-Kwik's name should be Ron Killings. -Disco Inferno's name should be his real name, Glenn Gilbertti. -If the intent is for the game to begin on June 1st, Jerry Lynn should be a free agent. -Gangrel should be The Vampire Warrior. -Tiger Ali Singh should be on the WWE roster. -DDP should be a non-wrestler. He injured his neck in April and never returned full-time (even announcing his retirement in June). -Albert shouldn't be a fun babyface anymore, as he attacked Scotty 2 Hotty and turned heel in April. -RVD should be IC Champion. -Hurricane should be Cruiserweight Champion. -The Sandman should be XPW World Champion. -Following teams need to be de-activated. Dudleyz, Tazz and Spike, Hart Brothers, Bros. of Destruction. -Ric Flair and Scott Steiner should have a dislike relationship based off of Flair's book. -Bret Hart and Goldberg shouldn't have a relationship. -Undertaker and Paul Bearer with a dislike relationship?

Did Gilbert Arenas, Allan Houston, or Rashard Lewis ever lead the NBA in salary? No. Shaq/Garnett led at Houston's time, Kobe and maybe someone else for the other two.

Nord was hired in WCW in late 97 and lasted till 98 (jobbed to Goldberg).

I'm in the camp that Alex Smith was strictly a system QB and that this will end disasterous for the Chiefs.

Sad I missed this. The top 10 overall though seems pretty solid.

That Nationwide Race was crazy. Larson's car was torn in half.

I teared up a little... Also, Hedo Turkoglu was suspended for failing a steroids test, he's looking at 20 games for this Randomly noticed this. 26 points is not the lowest point total in a first half in the shot clock era. http://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/199904100CHI.html

Ah, I saw you said you were going to keep Storm/Jericho, but I think Storm/Jericho should be a loyalty. Jericho has constantly said that Storm was his best friend in the business.

Jerry Buss passed away today.

The Jarrett/Austin one basically seems like Jarrett doesn't have hard feelings toward Austin, but Austin didn't like Jarrett dating back to Austin's early days in the business when Austin was working in Memphis for Jerry Jarrett and Austin got a payoff that was lower than expected. Jarrett apparently told Austin "it ain't gonna get bigger by looking at it" and Austin didn't forget it. That story is in Austin's book. In another book called Wrestling Mysteries solved (which really isn't the best I guess), stated that Austin also didn't like Jarrett's late 1997 WWF return (when he was work-shooting everything) as Jarrett did an interview about Austin 3:16 being blasphemous, and Austin told him that "he didn't like that he was talking bad about his money".

I just want to say again, thank you for making this, it is pretty awesome and I'm really excited to use it in the future. My thoughts in regards to relationships is how it effects the game. In terms of friendship, I'd wonder, if Y was released should X's morale drop? Or is X was signed would Y's morale increase etc.? I am aware of Taker/Kama/Yoko/Crush etc. Kane I figured. So looking through, here's what I would change Relationship Change to None Steve Austin/Ric Flair, currently as dislike, both seem to have nothing for respect for one another which is displayed in Austin's book, Flair's book and one of Austin's DVDs. Steve Austin/Undertaker, currently as friends. Bam Bam/HHH, currently hate. I understand the whole Kliq vs. Bigelow in 1995, but feels odd as HHH was new and a lot of people didn't like the Kliq. Maybe it is something I don't know. Cactus Jack/Billy Gunn, Bradshaw, Faarooq, Jarrett, Kane, Miavia, Syxx. Maybe Undertaker as well. Taker is tough as everyone seemed to respect him even then. The Canadians are tricky (as are a lot of the Mexicans). Christian/Benoit, Christian/Jericho, Edge/Jericho, Edge/Benoit I don't think existed yet (although for Jericho did know Edge and Christian at that point.) Same for Christian/Storm and Edge/Storm. Adittedlt not sure on these, but they seem too early. Kane/Bearer, Austin, Taker. Rock/Austin, Cactus, Vince. HBK/Taker, currently dislike. HBK's book seems to show nothing but respect between the two in late 97, especially when working with one another. Other than the Mania 14 rumor of Taker taping his fists (which I don't believe) and some Bret comments, nothing indicates a dislike. HBK/Flair: Flair and HBK had a lot of respect for the other, but I wouldn't say they were friends at this point. HBK/Sid: Friendship. Nothing indicates this. Vince/Lawler: Currently loyalty. Don't think this is the case at this point. Chavo/Jericho: Currently friends. Benoit/Rey Jr.: Currently friends. Jericho/Zbyszko: No indication of this at the time. Jericho/RVD: Currently dislike. Jericho/Saturn: Currently friends. Relationship Adds Austin/Jarrett: Dislike. Austin talks a bit about the check comment in his book. Austin also was said to not want to work with Jarrett in 1998 at all. Jim Cornette/Cactus Jack: Friendship. Got to know each other in WCW, got close in SMW. Eddie/Nash: Dislike. Eddie wrote in his book that throughout his time in WCW (and afterwards) he thought Nash was genuinely evil. Heenan/Monsoon: I'd up this to loyalty. Heenan absolutely loved Monsoon.

Wow this is amazing. I'll do some skimming. Awesome work. I'm just going to edit things as I see them. Just suggestions of course. Kane: Speaks No If this scenario is from January 1998 (which I am seeing), Kane's character didn't speak. Sho Funaki: Nationality Japanese He's American in the data. Steve Corino: Nationality Canadian He was born in Canada. Not sure what he was billed from in his time in ECW. Mr. Fuji: Nationality Japanese I get that he was born in Hawaii, but mostly billed from Japan (if not entirely). Cactus Jack/Rocky Maivia: Relationship None I don't believe they were friends in 1998, and according to Foley's 1st book Foley advocated the WWE releasing the Rock in mid 1997. Chris Benoit/Perry Saturn: Relationship None Seems early for this. Chris Jericho/Lance Storm: Relationship Loyalty Reading Jericho's books, it's clear him and Storm are very very close. His "best friend" in the business. Taz/Sabu: Relationship Dislike I believe Taz and Sabu didn't like the other at all, despite the friendship relationship listed. Taz said that (I believe in the Rise and Fall of ECW documentary) that his hatred of Sabu is what helped make their feud so memorable. Kevin Nash and Scott Hall/Hulk Hogan: Relationship None Hogan talks about in his book (which seems off anyway) that he, Nash and Hall put their past differences aside to look out for one another in 2002. So I doubt the friendship. Chris Jericho/Bret Hart: Relationship None I understand the Dungeon connection, but Jericho seems to barely know Hart, in his book once referencing how he randomly gave Bret a finish in 1995. I doubt they were friends in 1998 when Bret just got to WCW. Shawn Michaels/Sid Vicious: Relationship None Nothing in Michaels book indicated Sid and HBK were friends. He mentioned that he got a nice match out of Sid. Bret Hart/Sid Vicious and Vader: Relationship None No indication of a friendship either (for both Bret/Vader, Bret/Sid). Ric Flair and Chainsaw Charlie: Relationship None Flair seems to think highly of Funk in his book. Overall, I would say a lot of relationships should be deleted. A lot of the friendships just seem unnecessary. A lot of them seem based on whether or not guys worked with one another (Bret Hart/Yokozuna, Bret Hart/Kevin Nash, Taker/Kane)or were a tag team or a group (Hogan liking Nash, Hall, (forgot off the top of my head who seemed to violate this) or guys who may have some connection to one another because it seems like it made sense (Jericho/Bret, Bret/Henry, Jericho/Rey Jr.)

Ahmad Bradshaw was released. I'm sure he'll get some attention from some teams.

Yes..there sure was holding there at the end... If the catch was a shoe-in I'd complain about it more, but Crabtree still had to make a leaping grab and get both feet in, not a guarantee. I'm usually all for let them play.

Gotta hand it to the Ravens. They withstood the comeback and held on.

Power outage!

Baltimore's been undervalued all playoffs.
