Nice roster Woodsmeister! Let us know how you get on!

I know at least one other person who is a big fan of Curtis

I've always been a fan of Koto Arato and Waotaka Eda. In fact it is my mission to one day reunite them in one of the Japanese promotions.

In my IWC game I teamed Brian King and Famous C quite successfully which has led me to having a bit of a soft spot for them too, even if they are pretty useless for a bigger company.

Random exploding! At least he went out like a boss.

Check the strange events thread in the General Discussions. Great minds think alike

"I teamed Brian King and Famous C" great minds do think alike!
I saw they had the same sunglasses and sign them to the weak tag team division in my AWF game. They still haven't won a match yet. They mostly work dark matches or job to The Chistensen's and EOS.
By the way what do you usually call them? I can think of a few good one's. But since there jobbers I just call them B Famous my self.

Out of the AWF cast, two guys I feel really got lost in the shuffle are Garrett South and Derrick Rollins. Been trying to get Garrett South over as a face badass character, but Derrick... he just jobs.

I have to keep reminding myself to push Derrick too. I'll get round to it in the end!

Too Famous. Absolutely not in anyway influenced by Too Cool. At all. Ever.

I seem to be having the same problem with V.I.P. and Luke Graves. Vincent just seems stuck at the Uppercard gate keeper at the moment and Luke just won't improve at all for me so I won't be rasing him up the card like I hoped. Maybe after the Kris Pheonix push VIP will have his time to shine.

The AWF has quite a gap between the midcard and upper mid/main eventer popularities, especially a few shows in when the top guys are pulling B/B+/A grade segments.

With both of these guys, but Graves in particular, a program with an entertaining main event could do wonders for him. Someone like Silva Dolla or Timothy Hawk are great talkers, but Seb Curtis (if turned) would also be able to wrestle some fantastic matches with Graves. Drake Richards could already fill that role, I guess, but people tend to give him the title.

Because Drake Richards is awesome.

What's been going on in my AWF game....

AWF Championship: Timothy Hawk's been holding the title and has been really helping to get Cross over as a legit challenger to the belt. I'm thinking of a Vincent I. Parker heel turn to freshen up his character and shake up the main event, since he and Cross are basically on the cusp of main event runs. Nowadays, Hawk's main enemy is Core, who has been having a huge monster run, destroying every challenger he gets.

The midcard: Wilson Hancock, thanks to a solid feud with Towerblock, has actually ended up a main eventer, while Sebastian Curtis pretty much dominates along with Jean-Claude Giroux.

Good news for Garrett South fans, as I managed to snatch Rick E. Waters (considering waging war on the other Big Four once AWF finally hits national) and rebooted Garrett as one of the 'New Survivors' (original, huh), two fist fightin' Southerners who just love a good brawl, and a beer for afterwards. He's having the best run he's ever had, and may soon win the tag titles with Waters....

While Rollins still jobs.

Leroy Winters is a gatekeeper, although he's definitely one of my strongest midcarders. Johnny Hollywood is on the rise, and may be looking at a United States title run.

Good going Kuma, looks like you're progressing nicely.

Let me preface this next bit with a disclaimer. It has been a while since the first jhdVerse DLC was released, and for various circumstances both Shmoe and I have unfortunately had very little time to do any modding at all beyond some of the minor tweaks that have been pointed out. That doesn't mean that we have stopped our intentions of updating the jhdVerse at some point, but equally, the following question does not mean that a new release is anywhere close to the horizon. Just thought I'd make that clear!

So (as a bit of fun only!) I was wondering what 3 things people would like to see added to the jhdVerse in the future. Your suggestions can be almost anything at all, with one exception - please don't say 'a new area'. While we both hope to one day expand the jhdVerse beyond the three areas of the mod, our attention is entirely focused on making the current regions - which regardless of any additions would always remain the 'main' three - as involving, as believable and as enjoyable as possible.

So, are you craving a joshi scene, a hardcore revolution in Mexico, or an MMA crossover influx in the US? Perhaps you really want to see a host of new cruiserweights, a luchadora expansion or a new trend of facepainted behemoths? Or maybe you'd prefer to see more US tag teams, more comedy gimmicks for your POW game, or a set of the world's legends just waiting for one more chance at glory? Whatever your idea, big or small, let us know!

[TheEnforcer]

All that sounds good to me jhd. All great future DLC. I'd like to see more Tag Teams 1st I guess. But any of it sounds good.

Alternative/grunge/counter-mainstream culture luchadores would be a nice addition; I wanted to do a hardcore lucha fed, but quite frankly felt that despite being in much better shape than the RL's lucha scene, the jhdverse didn't have enough of the right kind of luchadores to suppose one.

America could do a few non-pretty boys as well; the options for PWSUX are limited.

[Tiberious4]

1. More comedy gimmicks for my POW Game. What can I say, I'm a POW mark.

2. Some more workers from Mexico who aren't Luchadors. It's not that I don't like lucha, but Mexico is made up almost entirely of lightweight high flying luchadors; it might be nice to see a few wrestlers using other styles like some hardcore workers, bigger brawlers, MMA Crossovers, Technicians, etc...

3. I know you have no plans to add any new areas in, but it would be nice to see some more workers from Canada, Europe, and even Australia who are willing to make the move to the US, Japan, or Mexico. Plus this would make it slightly easier if you ever do add a region since you'll already have some workers available to be based in the region.

Thanks for all the comments everyone - keep them coming!

This is something I really wanted to do with the original release but just didn't have time to complete. Definitely one for the future, as it's something I've wanted to do too Celt.
