Rename Player Dos to Stupefied

Remove Rockstar Spud from OVW, change TNA contract to written

- When was the last time he worked as Stupefied?, the most recent names I've seen him used listed in results are Player Dos and Stu Grayson.

- While OVW isnt a TNA "developmental territory" in an interview a couple months back Spud stated that he still attended OVW to develop his skills, this was after the TNA/OVW relationship had been reported to be ended. He may not technically work there but he still trains there.

[Dan B.]

-Announcer Lee Marshall passed away earlier this week.

-Apologies if this has been discussed before (I don't recall it) - maybe set the TNA Television Title to Suspended? It still appears on the official website's roster page (with Abyss as champ), so I wouldn't delete it entirely yet, but since it hasn't been used or mentioned on TV in months and Abyss hasn't appeared with it, Suspending it might work for now.

I believe that he only used Player Dos in Chikara, he has said that he hates being called Player Dos. Though I have checked Cagematch and he has been listed as Player Dos, so let's leave it as Player Dos unless someone can confirm that he primarily wrestles as Stupefied.

If anything I'd argue changing his name to Stu Grayson since thats the name he's listed as for C*4 and Acclaim either as just Stu Grayson or 'Player Dos' Stu Grayson

[Doc Devine]

Add Drake Younger to WWE for the May update, as he pretty much finished up his indy dates and is going there early in the month.

What is that move and when was it even named that?

- We noted before that there was a push within WWE for talents to start naming their finishers. After Rosa Mendes came up with her Rosa's Thorn submission move last week, Curtis Axel revealed on Twitter that the new name of his finisher is The Axehole.

So, Hogan and Lesnar on the same level? Yeah... Not even close, Hogan revolutionized the wrestling industry in the 90s... Brock Lesnar has done nothing of the sort in any shape or form... Taker's stats, his brawl shouldn't be lower than 75, dropped, yes, 10 points, no, he should probably already be a Non-Wrestler, but I can see waiting until news breaks that he's officially done or something of the sort

We should delete Linda McMahon from the Workers List and add her to the Staff section as a Producer. (she's not going to be involved in storylines anymore)

I would put Nick Dinsmore as a sidekick, he is a part of the Adam Rose party in NXT.

Oh because Lords of Pain reports it, it's true. The Rosa Thorn is confirmed on Wikipedia (though we all know that isn't the best source.) Curtis Axel's was not. I had to goto Twitter to find it and it was mentioned on April 28th. I would wait until it is used on TV. Rosa's is different because she is not often on TV.

MVP and Lashley's heel turn and Kenneth Cameron's debut are not happening until May so they should NOT be in the update. Bill tries to keep the game updated up through the events shown.

why do you always try to be the negativist? Why would you wait if the guy confirmed this on his twitter same for Rosa.

NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT CM PUNK!

Also I'll eat a hat shaped cake if Axehole isn't Axle taking the piss.

I'm starting to think you have an anti-Punk bias. Hogan's reactions seem on par with Punk's and Lesnar's. The only thing is Hogan would have more of a crossover appeal (that isn't exactly covered in the game though.)

I am not trying to be a negativist, I also asked what is it? Is it the Hanging facebuster or his old turning heads? That was never answered.
