Wow what an awesome game WMMA is! It is so awesome that I have returned from the sidelines to get back into the GDS community.
I am planning a mod based around the end of 2006. There is already a great 2005 mod under way and of course the Tap or Snap guys are putting together a monster current DB so I will take up 2006.
2006 was such a great year for MMA because it was really in the mainstream of the country as the Iceman was doing interviews on Sportscenter, getting magazine covers, and doing HBO stuff. Of course TUF was super strong (just as it is now), UFC on Spike was huge, the big MMA "merger" of many of the big companies was coming together to help later form super matches, and just in general MMA had arrived and passed boxing as the premier combat sport in the world!
Of course after Liddell lost to Jackson I think MMA lost some of its momentum as no athlete as been able to step in and fill that void of "Face" of MMA. The Natural has tried and been somewhat successful and I think Tito Ortiz wants to be the guy but it just hasn't happened.
Bottom line is that it is time for YOU to take over toward the end of 2006 and see if you can guide the promotion of your choice into the future and maintain all of that momentum. If you are interested in helping please PM me. I will need plenty of graphical help (I have zero talent) and research help as well. All participants will receive full credit for their work and I intend to have my work available to everyone in the community to help with future mods. If you are not familiar with who I am, I am a long time TEW player and mod maker. Check out the TEW mod section for an example of my work.
