EWR 2012 Stats Update: April ***PLEASE USE SPOILER TAGS***

[Rocky]

Wiki says it's named Ichiban but I have a feeling that someone added that in without knowing what Ichiban means and assumed it was a move name.

Nobody is that stupid, surely.

It is Wikipedia :/

[phillip2272]

Im not sure of this one myself, but I will mention it just to see what is said about it. I think it is stupid, but I think a lot of stuff WWE does is stupid.

Rename Raw Supershow to Monday Night Raw Starring Brock Lesnar

Its part of the storyline, I know, but you renamed Raw to Raw Supershow as part of a storyline, so... Maybe wait till they advertise it for the first time?

Dont hate, but if they rename it in real life to that shouldnt we rename it in the game? Just wondering what the course of action should be in this case.

And I wasnt sure if spoiler tags should of been used, so better save then sorry. I dont think it requires it.

They are, and don't call Kirkland Shirley.

I disagree, it wasn't changed to 'Raw Supershow' as part of a story, it actually became a notable change to the programme - that being that Smackdown wrestlers were and still are eligible to appear on it, as they have done every single week since. It really isn't the same. WWE.com also confirmed that the show will only be renamed to that if Lesnar wins on Sunday night. Besides, will it even fit?

Just curious... Is there a reason Mickie Knuckles and Ian Rotten have to relationship in the game? If not, I think they should have a Loyalty with eachother. That girl has stuck with him through thick and thin throughout her entire career; quite litterally nearly ending it on one of his shows amidst her first big break (with TNA).

They have since had a falling out and hate each other now.

Currently, Ian and Mickie Knuckles don't have any relationship in the game. Mickie recnetly was on the women of Wrestling Podcast... Don't recall hearing anything on that that would indicate a relationship either way... I know that she was trained by Rotten, but they had a falling out (about a year ago, Rotten was on a radio show where Mickie called in). You can hear it starting at about the 2:05 mark here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vS6ZKBfBCI

Not 100% sure what the situation is today. Anyone with an opinion on this, or current information, feel free to chime in.

I'm currently working on giving WWE a bit of a facelift. Basically, adjusting some wages and some card positions that have been suggested. There have been some posts in my notes regarding who should and shouldn't be on NXT. According the the WWE website, this is the current NXT roster:

Maxine, Kaitlyn, Derrick Bateman, Percy Watson, Johnny Curtis, Alex Riley, Michael McGillicutty, Tyson Kidd, Tyler Reks, Curt Hawkins, William Regal, Matt Striker, Josh Mathews, Yoshi Tatsu, Jimmy Uso, Jey Uso.

Reks and Hawkins don't have pictures, I'm assuming this is due to the "firing" angle. Titus O'Neil and Dareen Young are on the NXT roster, but with their "contract signing," they will be on the Smackdown roster. So, unless there is some reason to alter it between now and the end of the month, the list posted above will be the NXT roster in the May Update.

Finally, fair warning... The May update will be pretty large. Currently, there have been 57 workers and 4 staff members added and the plan is to get even more on.

I'm not sure if it was a one off but wasn't Natayla the heel against AJ on last weeks smackdown, actually acting heelish. Maybe make her a tweener? Although I havent seen this weeks Raw or the smackdown spoilers.

I could have sworn that the Usos were on SmackDown. I can't find the actual brands on the WWE website anymore.

They didn't look anymore than friends in those pictures. I would add friends for now and play it by ear.

Rename the different Grupo Charly tag teams to Reyes del Atlantida.

CMLL spoilers:

Delete Los Angeles Ceslsital and deactivate the teams. Angel De Plata has renamed to

He destroys people and the fans are eating it up.

According to SHIMMER's wikipedia entry, Ariel, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Madison Rayne, Misaki Ohata, and Tomoaka Nakagawa are all no longer with the company so perhaps remove them from the roster in the game.

[jadenjater]

In accordance with its Talent Wellness Program, WWE has suspended Oscar Gutierrez (Rey Mysterio) for 60 days effective Thursday, April 26 for his second violation of the company's policy.

Lower Rey Mysterio's behaviour by 5-10 points.

[Bill1996]

According to SHIMMER's wikipedia entry, Ariel, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Madison Rayne, Misaki Ohata, and Tomoaka Nakagawa are all no longer with the company so perhaps remove them from the roster in the game.

The thing with Shimmer is that they rotate talent for their tapings. Just because a certain wrestler isn't on one set of DVD tapings doesn't necessarily mean that they aren't on the roster anymore.

Nakagawa had prior commitments which is why she wasn't at the March tapings.

Madison Rayne is obviously committed to TNA first and foremost and with Nevaeh not at the March tapings (Nevaeh and Rayne are feuding in Shimmer) there wasn't much reason for Rayne to really be there.

I assume Matsumoto and Ohata were simply rotated out for Ray and Leon, who both debuted in March.

As for Ariel, they announced at the October 2011 tapings that she was engaged... Could explain why she wasn't there, or could have just been another rotation for another talent.

Rule of thumb I use on shimmer is, if they have been absent for 3 consecutive tapings, I remove them. Of course, that can change if I have more "concrete info" about a worker's status. For example, I'm pretty confident that Jessica James and Rachel Summerlyn are done with Shimmer, so I have removed them, even though they were at the March 2011 tapings.
