***spoilers*** EWR December 2020 Update - Winter Is Coming Edition

[mkpunk]

Winter Has Arrived and with it a new EWR 4-2 update.

I have added several second generation personalities into the game who have become parts of the wrestling sphere. This would be Aliyah Mysterio, Colten Gunn and Hook.

AEW is up to date through Winter Is Coming.

Spoiler

Sting is added to the game. He is a non-worker for now.

Kenny Omega is a heel and the new AEW World Champion.

WWE's newest singees are under WWE deals and under their existing names.

A few more AEW jobbers are in but they will not be in AEW in game unless they are consistent AEW jobbers or have won on Dark.

I have also added a number of the WWN Grindhouse wrestlers into the game.

Lowlife Louie and Danny Demanto are added back in as workers and Matt Tremont is now a staff (owner of H2O, which is not in the game.)

Once again, Full has all the pics, logos, banners and pic-update notepad file while Lite has new or updated pics and the pic-update. This is along with the data files.

How to successfully import data.

By folder:

Spoiler

Select the folders you wish to copy from the export folder.
Right click and select copy.
Go into your EWR4-2 folder.
Right click and select paste.
When asked to update existing files, check yes.

By file:

Spoiler

Select all the files you want.
Right click and select copy
Go into your EWR4-2 folder.
Go into the sub-folder you are transferring over (DATA for data, PICS for worker and staff pictures, etc.)
Right click and select paste.
When asked to update existing files, check yes.

I would STRONGLY advise NOT to move workers and staff for a save file! Doing this can ruin morale for workers and mess with your title picture.

I have delete a number of workers such as The Holy Rollers, The Bruiser (died in November but wasn't talked about much), Scott Hall, Kevin Nash (will be put as a booker), Pegasso and a few others who haven't worked much since 2017. Should I similarly delete The Rock, Austin, Hogan and Bret for similar reasons?

[NJTNAFan]

I was a lil shocked you removed Ethan Page from Impact, although his contract may be coming to an end there is nothing confirming he has left the promotion.

He said he was done with his obligations with his self quarantine for the month of December and didn't say he was returning or wasn't. I took it as he was out. 

[EWFan2004]

Yeah, I think its time for The Rock, Austin, Hogan and Bret to be deleted since, outside of maybe Dwayne, the four of them don't wrestle at all anymore. Like Undertake, they are fully retired.

Also, shouldn't the Beaver Boys be called Dark Order II and Five and Ten being called Dark Order III? Plus Daniels and Frankie are still called Addiction, not SCU II or something to that effect.

I've kept Addiction since I dont personally like the whole ____ 2 team name. I believe I also kept reDRagon over Undisputed Era for Fish and O'Reilly. Plus I think Reynolds and Silver are working indies when they could or at least would when more things could reopen after the pandemic.

A couple of AEW tidbits:

Billy has gone back to being called Billy Gunn on AEW, like the Cody thing.

Bowens and Caster are called The Acclaimed, and their finisher is called Critically Acclaimed.

But the only one I am trying to solve, as a casual EWR player, is Tully. He's both an on-air manager and a producer backstage. I tend to get away with this by having Tully backstage being called Tull A., while he is still Tully on the roster. Easy fix or just delete Tully as a road agent?

I think i kept Tully as an agent because at the time AEW needed one additional staff since many are player coaches.

Are there any EWR updates that have WWE split? So RAW, Smackdown & NXT are seperate companies? I always want to play as NXT but not with the rest of WWE. Anyone know any knocking about?

I might try to get it with the Jan data.

Ah nice one. Thanks @mkpunk. Much appreciated.

Not sure on Austin/Rock/Hogan/Bret because they could conceivably show up, either as special guests/wrestlers or non-wrestling roles.

However, to go with The Bruiser, was just playing and noticed Xavier's still in the game, when he died a few months ago as well.

I caught the Xavier one with purging.

I have removed them. Hogan last did Crown Jewel or World Cup when it was Team Hogan vs. Team Flair. Bret Hart was last used for AEW Double or Nothing 2019. The Rock really hasn't done much besides one-off. Austin is more consistent in one-offs compared to the rest but I don't see the benefit of having them.

Just an FYI I am going to include an alter ego zip file along with the update files. I happen to like the feature when I play so I can know what names a worker might be under or what names I could potentially use. I will not put them in files so you don't have to choose.

[mkpunk]

I will put Dia Inferno and La Estrella in the game. Hopefully later on I won't need to delete a certain Dragon Gate trueborn because of it...

Spoiler

Dia Inferno is rumored to be (Yuki) Yoshioka but the quarantine dates between the Yoshioka Mexico departure and Dia Inferno's debut are not in sync with the quarantine for international travel.

In an update to the alter egos:

I will only use alter egos in the last decade for the file. For instance Kenn Doane will NOT have Kenn Phoenix or Kenny Dykstra as alter egos and Colt Cabana will not be Scott Goldman.

I also will use one similar alter ego for multiple wrestlers. For instance Bengala (the AAA one) was done by Ricky Marvin, then Super Nova (the one from Lucas Libre USA) and now the former Arcangel. Archangel will be the only Bengala AAA in the game alter ego wise. By comparison Cinta de Oro will be Sin Cara and Sin Cara Negro while Caristico will only be Sin Cara Azul.

Three things:

I am mostly including just WWE PC recruits as the new additions. A few others like Don Callis (moved from Staff due to being on air personality now for both AEW and IMPACT), Micha Taylor and TJ Marconi are re-added while a few others from Dave Talks Wrestling's underrated list like Darius Carter will be added as well.

Spoiler

I believe Nøkken was in the game at some point and Marconi is the man behind the mask.

Two: like the Cruiserweight title for WWE/NXT, I will make KENTA Interim US champ and for now suspend the Moxley title.

Three: Please don't post about a certain wrestlers death. I know I'm sadly deleting the first indy to WWE star I met. He maybe the only one (no offense Delaney...)

[EWFan2004]

I remember Darius Carter was in the game for a long time, and he works for a company I write for, Catalyst Wrestling, here in New York. He's an amazing talent that I hoped to see re-added soon.

Also, thanks in part to the TEW 20 update thread, I found out that Madison Rayne and Jake Crist are gone from Impact, with Rayne retiring from the business and Jake saying he was a free agent.

[EWFan2004]

The home to Lucha Underground the El Rey network is going off the air come New Year's. Though Robert Rodriguez has stated, it might become a streaming service in the future.

Also, add tag team of TayJay of Tay Conti & Anna Jay (active, 5 Exp).

I'll replace El Rey with something.

I may get the split data up a few days late. I'm working on the 2nd and the 3rd.

I am also sadly thinning the hurd of promotions in game due to Covid related inactivity. I am looking to put APW, C4, CW, CZW, DEFY, RISE and SMASH in the freezer. RISE will become Shimmer since Shimmer ran as a part of The Collective in October. When these promotions run regularly again, I'll gladdly add them back in.

For now SHIMMER's roster will be reflected by The Collective card.
