WiP - EWB EWR Update

[Noah]

This is the only wrestling character that should have the rights to the name Murphy.

I think if we had a timetable and gave someone an area to focus on like "oh, Rich can have the data for 3 days and he can fix all of the UK workers" would be a good start, and making sure eveyrone knows what the end game is in terms of adding, removing and updating workers.

I like that. I was thinking we could just quickly make changes and upload our updates to google drive, so it's more like Rich has the data for 3 hours and we can take advantage of time zones or whatever to hustle through it.

Grand plan bald eagle.

[Rich]

Even I'm surprised I had a good and coherent idea.

[Pizza]

I'm going through right now, just deleting the most obvious names, people without cagematch profiles, people who haven't wrestled in 2014 or 2015. I'll upload when I need a break.

I only went through 50 names and deleted 23 of them. There's definitely more that could go, but I wanted to stick with the inarguable ones for now.

This is the only wrestling character that should have the rights to the name Murphy.

But his name is Robert :/

[Gazz]

PRIDE 2015 roster

Batista, Charlie Haas, CM Punk, Davey Richards, Doug Williams, James Storm, Kensuke Sasaki, Low Ki, noted mixed martial artist Mick fucking Foley, Mike Quackenbush, RVD and Toshiaki Kawada.

Made it through the Adams. At this rate, just clearing out inactives will take out half the database, and still leave us with such luminaries as Adam Thornstowe to deal with.

[The Lusophone]

Need a quick opinion on Ahmed Johnson. Hasn't wrestled since 2003 but he gives it large on twitter and (according to his twitter) is part of GFW?

I'm heavily leaning towards removing him.

[Rich]

Do you want to suffer a Pearl River Plunge?

 

I thought not.

[Pizza]

I would cut him. It's an easy  re-add if he ever appears again. He's probably done.

[Lineker]

For the sake of one person, leave him.

[King Ellis]

For the sake of one person, leave him.

He's bound to challenge Carlito one day.

[Hobo]

He seems to have pornographic images on his twitter. Lower his behavior and raise his stiffness.

[The Lusophone]

Didn't see Lineker's post. Will re-add him next time I'm in the database. For now I've gotta go, uploaded what I've done and a change log.

[Lineker]

I mean if the consensus is to keep him out then fine - my thinking was that the guy was a reasonably notable person in the Attitude era so probably worth keeping in.

[Gazz]

Why is he if he hasn't wrestled in 12 years? Would you want to play a version of FM where you can sign Dean Holdsworth and takes 45 minutes to process a day?

How can you gauge his stats? He was shit in WWF, an absolute abomination of a wrestler in WCW. Do you think 12 years away from the ring is going to maintained his already non-existant skills? For all we know, he could 600lbs and blind.

[Lineker]

David Holdsworth maybe.

[Gazz]

Also, the twitter account announcing his signing to GFW is a parody account. It even says so in the profile info.

C'mon, if we're doing research, at least do it slightly above Bill's level.

[Pizza]

I wanted the actual decision making to be saved for when we were down to 2500/3000, but it's Ahmed Johnson. He's never wrestling again. If you want to use him, just make a guy with all zeros. 

I also deleted 911 when I did my run. 

It's one thing to keep a guy like Goldberg around, maybe even Sid, somebody who could conceivably show up on Raw and beat up Heath Slater. But 90s midcarders who haven't been around wrestling in a decade should be gone.
