TEW05 Real World Update: February 2011

[TheWho87]

A minor gripe, but why does Sean Morley have an A rating for looks? I mean, is he really better-looking than, say, Christian (who is a B+)?

Also, maybe it's just me, but I think Triple H's technical stats are too high. According to the update he's almost on par with guys like CM Punk, William Regal and Daniel Bryan and better than guys like Dolph Ziggler and Alberto Del Rio. Not to mention that since he hasn't wrestled in almost a year that he wouldn't be as good now as he was then.

Alot of stats are still like they were in 05/06 and i rarely get any stat changes which is sorta the reason some of them havent changed in ages

[JonathanYork]

Lince Dorado (CHIKARA) is billed as a Mexican, although he's actually from Puerto Rico, thus American.

And set his heel performance to Good, he's one of the highlights of the BDK angle (along with Tim Donst). I'd also raise Lince's Mic and Charisma by at least 20 points. And Tim Donst's by 10.

[Syrjis]

Update on Kimbo Slice:

No boxing, and now no wrestling?

According to Dave Meltzer, former UFC fighter and short lived boxer Kimbo Slice has pulled out of his scheduled pro wrestling debut, due to an injury suffered in practice. Slice was set to debut on 2/5 in Fukuoka.

-Set Romeo Roselli to Semi-Active Wrestler, he's working as an actor mostly. Change his favoured roles to Wrestler: Rarely/Sometimes, Semi-Active Wrestler: Usually

[tougie]

Tick Japan for Gregory Helms, he's going to work for IGF.

I mostly follow the big promotions, but I will try to start making some decent suggestions for joshi and maybe some of the neglected looking japanese wrestlers i know about. The thing about joshi these days is that there are no big promotions left and most of the promotions share talent. A lot of the veterans are in S-Ovation. On the whole, I think joshi popularity bottomed out over the last couple years but is now starting to grow again. New promotions are springing up with some success and Kurihara's even been getting some mainstream sports network coverage, which is very unusual. Puroresu Representin' (perhaps you know of it) is a good English blog for Japanese wrestling results and info. It also has profiles for many Japanese wrestlers. However, the author does not use dates, but instead uses quantitative numbers like age and years. I think most of these profiles were written in 2009, and may not all be up to date.

As for the Shirais, they've been around a few years now, since 2007 or earlier. I haven't seen a whole lot of them, but i like what i do. They are still a bit unpolished, but stand out due to being flashy, edgy and attractive. (At least by joshi standards) To which point, i don't think you've added your pics of them.

Here I will add suggestions:

Io Shirai:

BIO: "Io Shirai is an acrobatic young joshi wrestler who competes primarily in tag team wrestling along with her older sister Mio Shirai in a variety of promotions. Previously associated with TEAM MAKEHEN, Io is now a freelancer and works in a variety of different promotions. She & Mio are viewed as future superstars and are considered to be young heartthrobs as well thanks in part to their good looks. The sisters have recently formed the "Three Tails" stable, along with Kana. " - mostly copied from Puroresu Representin' Blog.

Mio Shirai:

BIO: "Mio Shirai is a joshi wrestler who competes primarily in tag team matches with her younger sister Io Shirai, but also does a bit more singles wrestling than her sister. Her gimmick is unique in that it suggests she's more of a shoot wrestler/fighter as she wears what appears to be MMA gloves and often utilizes very stiff-looking kicks as part of her arsenal. Like her sister she was previously associated with TEAM MAKEHEN but is now a freelancer. She is considered a future star and some have billed her and Io as joshi's newest heartthrobs.The sisters have recently formed the "Three Tails" stable, along with Kana." Again, mostly from that blog.

KANA: (add to SMASH, one of the most talented young joshis today)

BIO:

Kana is a 7-year veteran who started out in ARSION & AtoZ in 2004, but became a freelancer in 2007. She finally broke through in October 2009, winning her first career title-the NEO Tag Team Championship with Nanae Takahashi before the two had a falling out. She sometimes uses a shootfight style in the ring, employing stiff-looking kicks that hit as hard as they sound. In 2010 she formed the "Three Tails" stable aong with Mio and Io Shirai, and has begun her own promotion called KANA PRO. - some info from the blog

Here's a short vid of all these girls in action during their short time together:

Mio Shirai, Io Shirai and Kana (Triple Tails) with their theme music by "Blutch1987". He makes vids for a lot of joshis.

Finishing up with a little men's puro.

Go Shiozaki's power should be like b-.

I will second that, if not higher than B-.

Surely, this is above 18% power:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clUABbD6_ek

In other puro related stats, Minoru Suzuki could use a little love. Most notably, his Menace is only 18%, and he is somewhat of an intimidator.

Right, RG?

http://rpmedia.ask.c...ru_Suzuki_2.jpg

I would also boost his Charisma, Superstar Quality and Looks above 50% at least.

And change performance ratings:

Cool Performance: Weak -> Medium

Cocky Performance: Weak -> Medium

Comedy Performance: Weak -> Medium

And that's probably all for the moment. If you have a preferred format for suggestions, just name it and i will try to conform next time.

[Garbage]

DDT:

Antonio Honda should be a little more over, at least Midcarder, with Octopus Hold (Submissions) as his Main Finisher

Sanshiro Takagi is not really a main eventer anymore, I'd say upper midcarder

Ice Ribbon, JWP and WAVE are the only feds I notice currently running regular shows right now so if a I were to add a joshi fed it will most likely be one of them (most likely Ice Ribbon cause I do like what their doing from the minimal stuff I‘ve seen).

Also as long as you give number changes I’m happy, I hate trying to convert a letter raiting to a number raiting.

Kevin Nash stated in an interview that Sting's leg health is terrible. So I'd lower it to around 30% given his age. Also make sure the two have a best friend relationship.

Ice Ribbon, JWP and WAVE are the only feds I notice currently running regular shows right now so if a I were to add a joshi fed it will most likely be one of them (most likely Ice Ribbon cause I do like what their doing from the minimal stuff I've seen).

Ice Ribbon is somewhat interesting in that they have been pioneering a new business model. They comprise mostly of youngsters, but they run 2 small shows from their dojo each week, drawing maybe 100 people. They also do bigger shows every month or two, drawing the typical joshi crowd of around 500 or so. Additionally, they have a webshow on Ustream which i recently found out about called 19Pro. (It wont let me post links without YouMustEnteraPost error msg.) It gets about 1000 viewers and airs at 19:00 in Japan. (That's 10AM GMT, 5AM EST) Next show is tomorrow, Feb 7. ICE has a less serious style than promotions such as JWP and Wave, which are more traditional and feature more seasoned wrestlers. JWP is still a larger promotion than ICE, and I think they even have some kind of TV deal. They also seem to have begun to run shows from their training facility as well, with about the same results. Sendai Girls is another school/promotion, which is more traditional and runs shows semi-regularly. Oz Academy still runs shows, using mostly veterans. Stardom and Diana are two new promotions, just getting their start. Then you have some individual wrestlers and stables putting together the occasional event. And that's about it for Joshi feds.

Here are some suggestions for some of the SHIMMER and 2 SMASH Joshis.

SHIMMER

What should I do?

Well, Associação Portuguesa de Wrestling (Portuguese Wrestling Association) has been running monthly shows for the past 4 or 5 months here in POrtugal so I guess they can be added.

If not at least some Portuguese wrestlers, I'll be glad to provide some stats as long as someone else will help me with them... Any Portuguese guys around here?
