TEW05 Real World Update: March 2011

[Guest Nick Beam]

add Rik Ratchet and Donnie B back to the game, they're touring Zero1 with Corino

[tougie]

Not sure if he is in the data, but add Tron to FCW. To make sure its the right one, he is a European Giant. He'll be going under the name Jason Mullen.

[Syrjis]

A professional wrestler from Northern Ireland could be about to become a household name after signing a developmental deal with wrestling industry giants World Wrestling Entertainment.

Brian Norton, 26 and from Ahoghill outside Ballymena, has moved to Tampa, Florida to work for WWE Developmental territory Florida Championship Wrestling after signing a five-year deal.

The 7-foot tall former traffic warden, who is better known on the UK and Ireland wrestling scene as “Tron”, will be known in FCW as “The Northern Irish Nightmare Jason Mullen”.

The WWE developmental programme has spawned such stars as former WWE Champions John Cena, Randy Orton, Jack Swagger and Sheamus.

WWE officials will monitor his progress during the course of his contract and, if all goes well, the former Ballymena Academy pupil could move up the ranks and onto the organisation’s flagship programmes, WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown.

Norton began his wrestling career in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and has wrestled across the UK and Ireland, as well as in Germany and Austria.

He was also one of the founders of Pro Wrestling Ulster, a Belfast-based wrestling promotion which also trains young people with an interest in getting into the wrestling industry.

“It’s what he has always wanted to do,” Norton’s father Malachy told UTV.

“He has got the opportunity, he has shown a lot of grit to get himself there so we hope it works out for him”.

-Brian Norton needs to be added to FCW, once given stats.

To my knowlage thye have never been added to the database so I need stats for them.

Not sure if he is in the data, but add Tron to FCW. To make sure its the right one, he is a European Giant. He'll be going under the name Jason Mullen.

Not in the data so stats needed.

Workers you may wish to add to SMASH who are already in game:

Yoshiaki Yago

TAKA Michinoku

Jon Cutler

Shoichi Funaki -- his stats should be reduced

Nagisa Nozaki

Tsukushi

Mochi Miyagi

Golem Knight

Cherry (joshi)

Cybernetic Machine

Kristian Kurki

Ken Ohya

Azul Dragon

Other Smash Suggestions:

Isami Kodaka was omitted from my previous list by my error, he's a SMASH regular. I think he should have superstar quality +10% or so.

AKIRA could use a new pic. Increase his comedy performance from Weak to Medium.

Tajiri should have his leg health reduced by 15% or so, knee surgeries. His english should be at least passable: Wrestlers have said he has perfect English when he wants to and when he is drunk. Probably Strong Friendship with Super Crazy, road buddies in ECW and WWE, now Tajiri has brought him to SMASH.

Hajime Ohara could use a new pic. He has a new look that makes him stand out more. Could also use a slight increase to some stats like brawling IMO. His finisher is a diving forearm smash. He competed in Finland recently.

Alright, that might be it for a little while. If you need help finding more pics for SMASH guys, I can probably do that. Should make SMASH more playable, though i think they have way less money than 800k. 250k would be generous IMO.

[TheWho87]

Right, yourheroa can you give me a definitive list of all the workers who currently work for SMASH. Could you also give me their card positions and gimmicks their using in SMASH. It would save me trying to compile the list from all your posts.

Also take into count I will be adding those workers you just posted.

[tougie]

Set Matt Hardy and Reby Sky to engaged.

[MikeyManiac]

Set Matt Hardy and Reby Sky to engaged.

They aren't engaged... they were joking.

Set Matt Hardy and Reby Sky to engaged.

Im not surprised, cant believe I trusted Matt Hardy's word.

Anyway, Cool note, Seth Rollins and Richie Steamboat are the new FCW Tag Champs

Also, its safe to tick Drink Problems for Kurt Angle. He racked up another drinking charge Thursday night in North Dakota. Anyone who says no needs to stop being a mark.

Edited March 26, 2011 by tougie

[yourheroa]

<- marks for Kurt Angle

Alright, I'll start with the main storylines in SMASH:

FCF Title:

A FCF championship match is the main event the majority of the time.

Starbuck brought the title to SMASH and defended it against several SMASH wrestlers.

Hajime Ohara went to Finland to try to win the title, but after losing became loyal to Starbuck.

Tajiri finally won the FCF title, but then Kovac came and attacked Starbuck and SMASH.

Kovac took the title from Tajiri and is now bringing in various foreign lackeys to fight against SMASH.

Shuri Push:

Shuri starts having matches against various high-level Joshi talent, coached by Tajiri.

Shuri feuds with Kana after Kana bullies her and beats her in a rematch, gaining her respect.

Shuri goes on a winning streak before narrowly losing a JWP title match against Kaori Yoneyama.

Lin Bairon gets more and more jealous of Shuri's succes and starts acting maliciously. Lin never lost to Shuri.

Shuri finally beats Lin, who runs off crying and dejected. Kovac takes advantage of Lin and gets her on his side.

Kana's Attempted Takeover:

Kana does not like how Tajiri runs SMASH (valuing foreign stars and big names over her)& vows to take over SMASH.

Tajiri does not take her seriously, defeats Kana 1v1 and covers her in green mist, humiliating her.

Kana brings in Triple Tails to help her, they make terroristic threats and begin random attacks on SMASH.

Triple Tails defeats Tajiri's team in a 3v3 match, Tajiri brings in Funaki to face Kana next.

Other:

Akira Shoji faces various MMA-type opponents.

AKIRA is eccentric but always defends SMASH.

KUSHIDA was being built up & winning over rivals to his side. His last match will be vs Ohara, his chief rival.

FCF invader Jessica Love kept chasing after Ohara, who was repulsed at first. He later "switched sides" to join FCF.

There are usually a few joshi matches, many girls from ICE Ribbon lately.

Tajiri gets another "big" name or two for every card to face the SMASH roster. It's a revolving door.

Here's the roster as I see it:

Main Eventers:

Tajiri - Face - Gimmick: Martial Artist

Michael Kovac - Heel Gimmick: Super Heel. (FCF champion, uses lackeys from EU)

Starbuck - Heel Gimmick: Outsider

Upper Midcarders:

Akira Shoji- Face Gimmick: Mixed Martial Artist

Kana - Heel Gimmick: Outside Threat, Impact Player (goal is to take over SMASH)

Shuri - Face Gimmick: Joshi Shooter, Joshi Wrestler

AKIRA - Face Gimmick: Loyalist (Defends SMASH)

Super Crazy - Heel Gimmick: Luchadore

Midcarders:

Hajime Ohara - Heel Gimmick: Turncoat, now loyal to Starbuck

Lin Bairon - Heel Gimmick: Martial Artist, Bitch (ICE Ribbon tag champ w/Sakura as RAY)

Jessica Love - Heel Gimmick: Gender Bender Extreme

Mentallo - Heel Gimmick: Luchadore, Mysterious

Yoshiaki Yago - Face Gimmick: Impressionist (Scott Hall)

Emi Sakura - Face Gimmick: Mentor (trains many students, ICE Ribbon Tag Champ w/ Lin Bairon as RAY)

Takao Omori - Heel/Face Gimmick: Old Lion/No Gimmick Needed

Lower Midcarders:

Yuji Kito - Face Gimmick: Old School Face/None

Isami Kodaka - Face/Heel Gimmick: Extremist

Mio Shirai - Heel Gimmick: Cocky Youth

Io Shirai - Heel Gimmick: Cocky Youth

Makoto - Face Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler

Openers:

Hikari Minami - Face Gimmick: Trainee (younger student)

Jon Cutler - Heel/Face (?) Gimmick: ??? Foreigner

Enhancement Talent:

Yusuke Kodama - Face Gimmick: Understudy (Tajiri's pupil)

D-Ray 3000 - Heel (?) Gimmick: ??? Foreigner?

Semi-Active Wrestlers:

SABU - Face Gimmick: Hardcore Icon, Legend

Funaki - Face Gimmick: Grizzled Veteran, Foreign Star(WWE)

Serena Deeb - Heel/Face(?) Gimmick: Foreign Star

ULTIMO Dragon - Face Gimmick: Luchadore

TAKA Michinoku - Heel Gimmick: Cocky

KAORU - Heel Gimmick: Joshi Hardcore Queen

Kaori Yoneyama - Face Gimmick: High Energy (JWP champion, arguably the top Joshi championship)

Hikaru Shida - Face/Heel(?) Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler

Tsukasa Fujimoto - Face/Heel(?) Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler (ICE Ribbon x60 Champ, ICE Ribbon triangle champ)

Chii Tomiya - Heel/Face (?) Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler, Weird

Nagisa Nozaki - Face Gimmick: Joshi Idol - She will be the focus of Pro Wrestling DIANA promotion, new Idol-ish promotion

Toshie Uematsu - Face Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler - She doesn't use her normal gimmick in SMASH

Tomoka Nakagawa - Heel/Face Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler

Commando Bolshoi - Face/Heel Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler

Tsubasa Kuragaki - Face/Heel Gimmick: Gimmick: Joshi Wrestler

Announcer:

SUNAHO - Face Gimmick: Staff Member

Referee:

Yuji Shimada - Face Gimmick: Authority figure

Sayaka Obinhiro - injured ~ rookie joshi (ICE Ribbon)

Azul Dragon no stats, lost tryout match ~ masked wrestler

Tommy Dreamer, face ~ legend (He will return sometime when schedule permits)

Other SMASH things:

Tsubasa Kuragaki is not so much of a high flyer these days, too heavy now. Maybe 50.

Super Crazy also got heavy and lost most of his high flying skills. 50s at best IMO.

As I said before, Funaki's skills are lower across the board.

Akira Shoji trains Shuri for MMA type matches. She's had some under a different name, "Akari"

Mio and Io Shirai have extensive tag experience with each other. Sometimes called the Purple Thunder Sisters.

Emi Sakura and RAY(Lin Bairon) are tag champs in ICE Ribbon

Hikaru Shida and Tsukasa Fujimoto are a regular tag team

Tajiri and AKIRA are often tag partners, to represent SMASH

I'd give Tajiri a strong friendship with Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer sent Tajiri a gift for not being able to make the reschedule that Tajiri would not reveal. (I suspect it might be a championship belt they will have a match for)

[TheWho87]

I want to get some feedback on cleaning up and the addition of new promotions

Here is a list of promotions that I think could be removed and some reasons behind my view, open to any objections on these.

Full Impact Pro

Held three events in 2010 and eight in 2009, nothing against FIP but eleven events in two years isn't a promotion that's very active in my books.

IWA Mid-South

Once I heard they were returning from bankruptcy I added them back (after a couple of months) and now since the end of 2010 their hasn't been much heard from them which would leave me in a position to cut them and make way for a more active promotion,

Los Perros del Mal

I'd class them a semi-active promotion, they do promote shows on a regular basic (and have promoted shows this year) however they use a lot of Mexican indie talent (most of which are not in game) however my understanding is the main core of talent they use are in so they could stay however will need to get some updates on them or they will start to look like a promotion up for being cut.

World Wrestling Council

The problem with WWC isn't its activity but more getting the promotion updated, like most indie feds it can get by on semi regular updates but most of these are very few and far between and based off their recent Euforia show I'd say the roster seems out of date so unless someone can provide a good update for them during April they will need to be cut for a promotion who's active and able to update.

Main reason I'm brining this up is because I'm considering adding a couple new promotions that have started up/are more active and I'd rather them replace a promotion before adding new promotions.

- Ice Ribbon

- Japanese Women Pro-Wrestling Project

- One Pro Wrestling

- Squared Circle Wrestling

Also just to note any promotions removed from the main database gets added into the new promotion file so they could (theoretically) return in your game.

Edited March 27, 2011 by TheWho87

[Syrjis]

-Check Japan as an active area for D-Ray 3000 & Jon Cutler

-Add Triple Tails I & II teams to SMASH. Up Triple Tails I's tag exp to Medium-Good. Also up Kaguya & Oyuki (AAA) to Medium-Good.

-Add Purple Thunder Sisters (Io & Mio Shirai), Full Time, Medium-Good exp.

-Women Superstars Uncensored is in as an active and "New Promotion", remove it from the latter.

[JonathanYork]

Spoiler for the latest set of SHIMMER tapings:

- Rebecca Knox returns to a standing ovation. She says she will not return as a in-ring competitor, but as a manager. She then introduces Saraya and Britani Knight. Saraya and Britani cut an amazing promo. Saraya and Britani make an open challenge, which is answered by Nikki Roxx and Ariel.

- Seven Star Sisters (Ohata & Matsumoto) def. the Canadian Ninjas (Perez & Matthews) to become new SHIMMER Tag Champs. Roll-up after the Ninjas miss the Funky Cold Medina.

------------------------

So add Britani Knight and Sweet Saraya to SHIMMER as Midcard (Upper Midcard?) Heels.

Rename Sweet Saraya's SHIMMER Contract to Saraya Knight or Saraya.

Make a Team called Knight Dynasty and give them low or medium experience (they teamed for the first time in 2006 but only had like 20 matches since then).

And add Rebecca Knox to Shimmer as a Manager for Saraya and Britani Knight. Set Favoured Role Manager to Sometimes or Usually.

And make Miaski Ohata and Hiroyo Matsumoto the SHIMMER Tag-Team Champions

[No1Thuganomic]

Allison Danger and Leva Bates are also teaming as a tag team. They are called Regeneration X. Set the exp to low.

Also add the team of Daizee Haze and Tomoka Nakagawa. They teamed on past shimmer events and it seems they will team again on vol. 39 or 40. Right now I would name the team "Haze and Nakagawa" with low exp.

[IDOL]

You could possibly add New York's Squared Circle Wrestling (2CW). They're probably the most active indy fed in the state and use a lot of east coast workers and ROH/Chikara guys.

Looks good, i'll add them to the list.

Also I'll leave all promotions mentioned above in for April and start the changes for the May update.

[yourheroa]

I may be able to help for ICE and JWP. I used to follow JWP more before Azumi Hyuga retired. (She was my all time favorite female wrestler)

Kaori Yoneyama could use some large skill increases. One of the better female wrestlers in the world. Some people think she is THE best. You could check out some of her highlight videos on youtube, and I would recommend her JWP title match vs Hyuga. Or recently, her SMASH match vs Shuri is decent. Shuri is way over in SMASH and talented for her experience level.

BIO: Current ace of JWP. She combines high-flying, technical and brawling skills into a mesh of high-energy action. Kaori wrestled her entire career for JWP, winning every title in the promotion as well as several others. Her stubby build is not ideal.

Chihiro Oikawa should be set to "left the business" or retired- got married

Dump Matsumoto should be Semi-Active, and rarely wrestles

Takako Inoue was one of the bigger names in Joshi from the 90's till now and is not in the game. (removed for some reason?)She still wrestles.

Michiko Omukai was another big name who is not in game, though she retired a little while ago.

- Pics are set for your own choices, you dont have to downlaod the pack, the pack is only there to keep upto date with new workers and hasnt been updated in a while, if you got pics set to the name of the worker then it should work.

- Yuji Miazaki isnt in the data.

- Mayumi Ozaki is listed on both Wikipedia and Cagematch .

- I dont think Takako Inoue and Michiko Omukai were included in our main database (might have been in the early max mixed database).

Sorry,

*Yuki Miazaki should be set to retired, not Yuji Miazaki

"Mayumi Ozaki" seems to be the common name, so I guess im wrong.

Ok, I figured out the problem with Natsuki Taiyo and Shu Shibutani not having pictures:

The name is "Shuu Shibutani" in the database, but her picture is titled "Shu_Shibutani.jpg" with 1 U. It doesn't give her a picture unless you link it manually. I think 1 U is the more widely accepted translation, but I've seen both.

Natsuki Taiyo used to be called Natsuki*HEAD, and her picture is "Natsuki_Head.jpg," by default it gives her a blank picture.

They'll have to be manually selected to display correctly, most people will probably see blank pictures unless they do this.

So, you may wish to synchronize the picture files with the data files if you want all people to see pictures.
