  1. The fact that the table doesn't break initially after a running powerbomb makes it look more painful, but I don't think going through a table constitutes as a sick bump. Now had it been from the turnbuckles towards the floor, sure, or even through a flaming table, but a regular table spot isn't a high spot. Otherwise Trish Stratus, Terri Runnels, Torrie Wilson, Stacy Keibler, Layla El, Michelle McCool, etc. would all have it checked.

  2. Rey identifies as Mexican because he is of Mexican HERITAGE... He alludes to the fact that he was born and raised in California (with the 6-1-9) and that has always been a part of his gimmick.

    Being mexican and being A mexican are two different things. I identify myself as being Metis aswell as Francophone, that doesn't change the fact that my nationality is Canadian none the less. Rey is in the same boat, he is of mexcian hertiage but he is not a mexican-born wrestler, just like Afrian-Americans are not labelled as being born in Africa... It's just their heritage.

  3. I'd add at least friendship between AJ Lee and Daniel Bryan if it isn't there already, they did a romance angle and more than likely they wouldn't go through with it unless they actually did like each other as friends at least. Since we're not sure yet if they are dating(unless someone has a better dirt sheet than mine) leave it at that for now I guess.

    I'd also be for raising Hawkins' charisma above the 69 suggested, hes underrated. Promo on NXT a while back where he ripped the Usos and Yoshi Tatsu was basic but solid material.

    Umm... No. Do you really think every angle everyone ever did was because they wanted to? Lita & Edge ran with that angle because they wanted to. Rey Mysterio wanted to exploit Eddie's death. Trish Stratus wanted to bark like a dog. John Cena wanted to look like a jobber at the PPV because he tagged with Rock.

    No, unless they are high up on the food chain (and even then not always true) wrestlers are employees that do as they are told or get out...

  4. There was a pretty heated incident backstage at last night's Ohio Valley Wrestling event in Louisville, Kentucky at the Davis Arena between OVW star Mohammad Ali Vaez and former WWE star Cliff Compton.

    Vaez was said to have been upset regarding the finish of their match and started loudly complaining about Compton after returning to the locker room. The storyline was that Compton was fighting for the honor of one-legged veteran turned wrestler Michael Hayes, who Vaez had injured. Hayes showed up leading to Compton lowblowing and pinning Vaez for the finish.

    When Compton returned to the back, Vaez tore into him in front of the locker room, which led to a near physical incident. The locker room held back Compton and there was no physicality.

    There was a lot of talk about the incident today among the wrestlers. The feeling among those I spoke to today was that even if Vaez was upset, that wasn't the time or place to voice it. There was a feeling that Compton, as a veteran, didn't deserve to be spoken to in that way in front of the boys.

    Cliff Compton:

    "Yeah some tool tried to yell at me at OVW, if anything the story that was reported was toned way down. I should have broke his neck.#C**T"

    Add a dislike between Cliff Compton and Mohammad Ali Vaez.

    Hate is probably appropriate here, considering the way Compton responded and everything.

  5. I say this as a guy who's generally a John Cena fan - the guy isn't a good seller. He no-sold 10 minutes worth of leg work in his Mania match with HBK. He no-sold a DDT onto concrete during the Summerslam match against Nexus last year. He's no-sold 20 minute beatdowns with weapons from Miz and Randy Orton. Part of this is the booking, but a lot of it comes from Cena himself. How often has he sold a submission move beyond "make a silly, constipated grimace"? Hell, how often has he even grabbed a body part that had been worked on all match?

    Cena's a good worker, underrated by a lot of the IWC, but he's not a good seller.

    Exactly... which is why as far as I'm concerned, his selling should be LOWERED to a maximum of 75 (I'd go closer to 70 tbh). It's not like 70 is terrible selling, it just means its average at best. Not among the top tier (80+), which he isn't when it comes to selling moves.

  6. Cena's I could understand dropping, but not Orton's. He has some of the best selling in WWE. Nobody sells an impact move like him. He makes Sweet Chin Musics, even Khali Brain Chops look devastating.

    I agree with this a hundred percent. Even in the match with Del Rio at Vengeance, he no sold a lot of the abuse he took. He'll be nearly out cold and then out of the blue he jumps up and its like nothing happened, even the bodyparts the opponent has been working on the whole match is mysteriously restored to perfect health. I honnestly think he should be lowered to 70 max. He does ok with certain moves, but doesn't sell a match as a whole. He's never been very good at selling to be honnest.

  7. Well.... there you go..... Judging from the link though he should still be a lightweight as opposed to heavyweight...

    On another note, according to Wikipedia Velvet McIntyre is born November 1961, making her 49 not 43. Considering she was holding the WWF Women's Tag Team title in 1983, I belive this age makes a little more sense.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_McIntyre

    It is cited in the bottom as well...

  8. Personally, I would go with where they were raised... People like Kane, Lilian Garcia & Daffney were born or raised outside of the States on American Army bases, that makes them American.

    Chris Jericho was born in New York while his dad played hockey there; he was raised in Canada and has always identified as being canadian; his nationality should be Canadian, not American.

  9. thats a good idea..... Really good idea. Its simple but more "in tune" with todays market. Maybe just add an option to turn it on or off thouigh. (ie. a 1950s scenario would be unrealistic to have this as the face/heel divide was a lote more black & white and wrestlers rarely, if ever, turned. On the other hand, today you cvan jump from being a face to a heel from one week to the next).

  10. Wow....... The last page worh of suggestion (while some would be interesting I'll admit) should be in the TEW forum. I mean really guys, you are blantantly asking for features that are in TEW while saying I don't want another TEW game. The perfect mix for this game is EWR but a few tweaks to make it a little bit more interesting, but really language announcer, two sets of stats (which I still don't get), selecting venues, etc.... It's too much. Rather than a newer and "better" version of EWR you are asking him to make a newer and worse version of TEW.

    Suggestions are cool, but you took his point and goal and brought it straight to what Adam did with TEW (thus the purpose of the new series). Not trying to be rude but come on...

    EDIT

    I do want to add one little tweak though about retirement... wrestlers that retire should be able to become any type of staff. A lot of them can be involved in commentary, trainers, referees, production, ring announcers, medical (a lot of them have fitness background and could help with rehabs, etc.; it is not out of the realm of possibility), etc.

    You could actually add a little more depth to staff. Its one thing that really bothers me in EWR.

    First, I would say they should all have these base stats.

    - Overness

    - Charisma

    - Behavior

    - Attitude

    Staff should be able to be used in certain angles (ie. Interview angles, or even as on-air authorities). They should NEVER be able to wrestle though... So Vince McMahon for example would be a non-wrestler, Linda McMahon would be a Staff member.

    There should be categories of staff, then stats within each category. This way the staff can chose to jump to another category if they want (ie. JR stopping commentary to work as an agent backstage). I would have 4 categories BROADCASTING; PRODUCTION; OFFICE; OTHER. Each category has a different set of stats / roles that they could be used in; the staff have their category, can choose to change categories if they are not under contract or request if they are; or you can make them an offer to switch.

    For BROADCASTING

    ** This staff member can be used on screen as part of the broadcasting team & for DVD releases and advertising purposes.

    - Commentary

    - Color Commentary

    - Ring Announcing

    - Interviewing

    For PRODUCTION

    ** This staff help the show go on without a hitch

    - Road Agent

    - Referee

    - Writer

    For OFFICE

    - Owner

    - Booker

    - Talent Relations

    For OTHER

    - Trainer

    - Medical

    Here some examples of what their stats would look like.

    Jim Ross - Broadcasting

    - Commentary: 90

    - Color: 70

    - Ring Announcer: 30

    - Interviewer: 70

    Mike Chioda - Production

    - Road Agent: 40

    - Referee: 85

    - Writer: 15

    Dixie Carter - Office

    - Owner: 70

    - Booker: 40

    - Talent Relations: 65

    Dory Funk Jr. - Other

    - Trainer: 90

    - Medical: 25

    So yeah.... I know it SEEMS like a lot (and kinda feel like a hypocrite... I'll admit it), but I don't think it really is. Its just a lot more information about a basic thing, like staff.

    On the other hand, I just got to thinking for the roster... Can have 3 categories on the roster page?

    Wrestlers

    ** They are here to wrestle, anytime.

    - Main Eventers

    - Upper Midcard

    - Midcard

    - Lower Midcard

    - Opener

    - Jobber

    - Developmental

    Non-Wrestlers

    ** These guys are primarily there as added personalities to the shows. Their contracts will dictate how often they can wrestle a year (maximum) and when (ie. 5 dates, anytime; 2 date, only PPV; 18 date, only House Shows; etc.)

    - Authority Figures

    - Personalities

    - Managers

    Staff

    ** They primarily work backstage but can occasionally be used during certain angles.

    - All the roles listed above.

    Sorry I got to typing and it kept coming... Just a suggestion (few) and I promise not to be heartbroken if it makes the game too complicated and thus cannot be implemented...

  11. I know its small but.... actual birthdays rather than birth months. Plus have people choose to retire anytime, no just directly after a birthday. Speaking of retirements, it would be kinda cool if you can offer a wrestler a staff position after he announces his retirement.

    Another thing I think would improve the game is to be able to pick your start date from within the game rather than having to set your pc clock back in order to start on a certain date. That annoys me to no end...

    Good luck with this!

  12. No, because then the guys playing as WWE would be able to unfairly raid their roster.

    I thought this game was supposed to be made on how it is in REAL life..not the way the people THINK it should be like.

    Use your noggin. That bit also says they can't work for WWE. Whats the only way to make sure they don't get signed by WWE?Put them on written.

    Technically they are open so make them open contracts. Its what they're doing, so thats what they should all be in the game. If WWE raids them, they raid them.

  13. I think Trish Stratus should be the most over female worker in the game. Right now she is at 77 and Beth Phoenix is at 79. That is inaccurate IMO. I think Beth should be lowered to about 77 and Trish should be raised to about 80.

    I agree to some extent about the switch, but Beth Pheonix should be lower than a 77 due to be seldomly used in the WWE. The maximium that Beth should be is a 70.

    And I will be upating with the data package tonight.

    I don't think Beth should be THAT low... The Divas overness should be like this...

    Beth Phoenix - 75

    Brie Bella - 68

    Eve Torres - 70

    Gail Kim - 66

    Kell Kelly - 72

    Kharma - 75

    Maryse - 72

    Melina - 75

    Nikki Bella - 68

    Vickie Guerrero - 82

    AJ Lee - 55

    Alicia Fox - 66

    Kaitlyn - 55

    Layla - 72

    Natalya - 70

    Rosa Mendes - 60

    Tamina - 55

    Trish Stratus - 85

    Stephanie McMahon - 85

    Linda McMahon - 70

    Thats where I would have them... or around that anyways.

  14. Kelly should not be anywhere near 80. Realistically, she would never Main Event Raw, right? Lita, Trish Stratus, Stephanie McMahon are women that have Main Evented Raw, they should be (or in their heyday) in the 80s. Beth Phoenix & Mickie James were the next generation of women that could have easily Main Evented an event, and they should be in 80s. Kelly is popular, but no where near the level that these other women acheived.
