TEW2013: Real World Update: January 2014

[cpt.charisma]

cheers for the feedback peeps, ill keep NJPW/Japan as noraml and leave the wwe workers style, shall wait and see on Sin Cara for now

[Silva]

cheers for the updates so far, a few questions i have, Ive changed NJPW to a touring company as a test, do people think this is a good idea? and should i change any other Japan companies to touring? would also involved editing a few contracts and keeping the core rosters on written deals.

also thinking of changing most of the wwe workers styles to Entertainer, as this is the WWE style these days, only will do this if you guys think its a good idea.

Sin Cara - Should i now make Hunico into Sin Cara or keep it how it is for now????

Ive removed alot of Working Agreements with the smaller indy companies, Possible trading alliance ive seen is the WWN (World Wrestling Network) it includes: DGUSA, Evolve, Shine, and FIP. (this is according the the EWR thread)

and AJPW seem to raid Dragon Gate alot, so may stick and non aggressive pack there

AJPW just seems super aggressive in general. Every game I start they seem to go crazy signing people to huge written deals. I'm playing as TNA and I'm locked in this ridiculous bidding war for 2 weeks over Sonjay Dutt of all people. My 4 year, near 7K a month offer with a huge signing bonus is only barely edging out AJPW's 6 year deal with PPV bonuses. All over Sonjay freaking Dutt. I've also noticed them locking up Dragon Kid, Brian Kendrick, and Davey Richards to long term written deals while this was happening.

I think its safe to say Hunico/Incognito has adopted the Sin Cara gimmick so I'd make him Sin Cara II for good. The real question is what to do with the original Mistico/Sin Cara since both identities have been taken by someone else and are owned by their respective companies. I think his WWE deal was supposed to be running out this week so maybe by the time February rolls around he'll have a new public name/identity to put him under.

If you're looking for Alliances the big ones I've found are of course the NWA (which is mostly small companies you don't have), the WWN one you listed, the World Triangle one with BJW/CZW/WXW, and the United Wrestling Network. That's the new one that Championship Wrestling From Hollywood quit the NWA to join. I'm not sure how many companies in it you have but a few of them are fairly notable.

Changing all WWE wrestlers to Entertainers seems kind of drastic. I get the reasoning but I think there's still distinctions. When I watch as far as I can tell Daniel Bryan still wrestles a more technical/strong style game than some while Sin Cara still wrestles a lucha/CW style. Entertainer makes sense for some of them for sure but I think that's a bit too much building the universe around WWE. Those guys will probably be looking for a job outside WWE some day.

I would leave a lot of Japanese companies as Full Time. Most of them have TV, PPV and hold house shows. I think the majority of workers for NJPW would be signed to written contracts, especially Shinsuke Nakamura and Hiroshi Tanahashi. The thing is lot of Japanese companies loan workers out or allow them to work elsewhere also.

I wouldn't do that. I would classify John Cena as an Entertainer but you have guys like CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Chris Jericho who are very Technical when they wrestle. Rey Mysterio (Cruiserweight) Sin Cara (Luchadore) Kane (Brawler) The Undertaker (Brawler) Triple H (Brawler) Brock Lesnar (MMA Crossover) Big E Langston (Regular Wrestler) Hunico (Cruiserweight) so on and so forth.

He is portraying the Sin Cara character for now, I do believe Mistico is still under contract with the WWE.

World Wrestling Network, sounds good.

I'm going to have to disagree with the NJPW part. They do have TV, but it's a moot point. It only airs highlights from the tours and big events. It's not an important show. PPV is irrelevant when it comes to whether or not a company is touring. They also don't do house shows. They do the "Road To X" shows which are a part of their TOUR. The Japanese companies do smaller touring shows which build up to the big events, which in every current promotion are PPVs. You also encounter a tricky situation with contracts, because there are guys that work for other companies extensively. Tanahashi works in CMLL along with NJPW, for example. It's part of their working agreement, but there are guys that make so many appearances for a company that it would be wrong to not have them under contract. Jushin Liger/Tiger Mask IV, Toru Yano/Takashi Iizuka, and Yujiro Takahashi all are regulars in NOAH.

I know it's for a terrible promotion, and said promotions Women's title, but still, spoilers dude.

Yup. Japanese promotions running full time (with the exception of, what, Osaka Pro maybe) is so silly since this is exactly what they were created for and because Japanese promotions don't run full time.

In the data it says that Matt Cross and Sonjay Dutt don't like each other

this pic is from his facebook profile with the words

"2013 was all about fun, friends, and pro wrestling. Things are already on track for a lot more of that in 2014!#dudes"

I'd change their relationship to friendship

edit: and Bobby Lashley deserves a better Menace stat than F-

I don't know how many users actually use the female wrestlers in game, but I noticed that a lot of the female Talent has very low Stamina stats. It's nearly impossible to book matches that go longer than 8(!) minutes with most of the talent.

I noticed that too, and that is pretty sad because I start my own woman company once in a while.

They all could need better stats

[TheWho87]

This might be helpful

A+ at least 88 minutes

A 49 to 88 minutes

B+ 49 minutes max

B 49 minutes max

B- 34 minutes max

C+ 34 minutes max

C 15 minutes max

C- 15 minutes max

D+ 10 minutes max

D 10 minutes max

D- or less: 6 minutes max

Most people should be in the D range which is around 30-40 stat wise

I think everyone should have at least D except for those we know that they are really really fast out of gas. But even a Yokozuna with all his weight could perform longer.

Oh that screams for a Mass Edit

And I was thinking about adding Trends to the Regions? There are none right now!

And MAYBE I find time to do a Angle update again this month.

Think I might have been using figures for an older TEW, just testing in TEW10 and I think D- comes in at about 36-37 so I'd say most workers should at least be 40 to come in at a D-, I'd also suggest non-wrestlers shouldent really have any or if anything maybe under 30, they don't tend to have matches where they need to work long times.

Make Ron Mathis more liberal so he can take part in deathmatches.

Jillian Hall announced on Twitter that she's pretty much retired from pro-wrestling.

Some SHINE Wrestling notes. Put spoilers just in case.

- Ivelisse Velez is the new SHINE Champion. Turn her face and remove her from the Valkyrie stable.

- Add Serena Deeb to SHINE. Put her in Valkyrie and make her a heel.

- Add the team of Heidi Lovelace and Solo Darling as "The Buddy System". Exp: 1?

- Set Rain to retired. She tweeted after the show that it was her final match.

- Add Rob Naylor to the company as he's commentated the last two shows.

Thanks for getting this out

Some product stuff:

PWG lower Hardcore and Pure to low, no face/heel divide.

DGUSA No face/heel divide

ROH I would drop pure to low and get rid of the women's division

TNA lower TV match lengths

Extreme Rising realism to none

NJPW No face/heel divide. Modern Heavy, Realism Key, Pure Medium. Change to touring every month except April and October (To at least use the touring system, they ran noticeably less in those months (Oct specifically), with only a handful of shows. First instinct was May but it would put them on tour for >5 months. Couldnt ex Jan because of the Dome show)

DG (Japan) Modern and Lucha to Key

Other stuff:

ROH and TNA shouldnt have a non aggression, especially after the Kenny King situation

You could eliminate a lot of the USA working agreements imo, since the companies just have the shared workers all on PPA and none are nearly large enough to get them exclusively for a while.

Remove Cliff Compton, Mike Mondo, Rhino, and Rhett Titus from ROH as none have been seen or spoken of for months

Would also remove Sorensen, MsChief, Mia Yim,

Change Super Dragon to retired or at the very least occasional wrestler

In touch of this Rhett Titus has been performing as Romantic Touch a masked wrestler.

disagree with Cliff Compton as ...

... he just started a storyline with Kevin Steen on RoH last Monday. I would give COmpton the Outsider Gimmick.

also,

C & C Wrestle Factory(ROH) broke up, so make that team inactive regular

on a radio interview, Samoa Joe explained how less he thinks about Vince Russo, Russo isn't even worth to shoot about him. I would add a strong dislike between the two.

[sonic_storm06]

Since they're still working other events they just worked AAW I would say exclusive PPA guess they just can't work events with tv/ppv deals. There tag team name in TNA is The Wolves actually.
