TEW/PWS Wrestling Simulators Discussion

Yeah, no, these look damn amazing. Fuck, I'd boot up a custom company with some of these guys if I had the drive to focus on more than one save at the time. (The shitpost fed takes priority.)

- I'd be pushing Outlaw Bruce to the fuckin' moon. Just look at that moustache. Stache of an antihero champion right there.
- Dorian Boyce feels like he has the vibe of a classic hero aiming for that one big win. Take Floyd Perkins as his protege until Floyd turns on him, there's your big summer rivalry.
- I'm torn between putting together Casanova Stone and Tommy Casino as a high end Vegas Sleaze tag team, frequent main event contentors, or eternal rivals trying to outdo each other with heel shitbaggery. Maybe all three at the same time.
- Kerry Oliver would be my go-to crowd pleasing babyface that rarely goes above midcard, and in a drunken night I'd speedbook him and his parrot to hold the tag belts then immediately regret it.
- Speedboat Jones and Nighttrain Charlie have GOT to be the babyface tag team that keeps it going, that's peak 80's energy from the names alone. There's a few others who seem to visually if not thematically make for a team, like Thomas Taylor and Dennis Rosen having matching headbands, but Speedboat & Nighttrain are being pushed to the high heaven.
- Wait hold the phone I just saw Lawrence Carmicheal's moustache and now I'm strapping a rocket to this whinging prick.

This is great stuff. How many of them have concrete thoughts behind them, or how many were made up as you went along?

You've cracked the code on a few things, such as Rosen and Taylor being partners and Dorian Boyce's mega babyface status. I also knew you'd love Lawrence Carmichael based off the mustache

All these characters have gimmicks thought of, promotions they belong to and a general sense of where they rank on the card. So far I've only actually added about 30 of them into the database with their details fully hashed out. A lot of them I'd say I know the gist of their backstories, but there's definitely gonna be some improvisation in filling in the details.

NEWS - June 1994...

WCW and Capcom have teamed up to create a twinned pair of arcade fighting games, WCW Nitro and WCW Thunder. The gameplay is very much like Capcom's Saturday Night Slam Masters released last year, with one-on-one fighter style mechanics combined with pins and submissions. A unique feature is that alongside separate Nitro and Thunder cabinets, special conjoined cabinets have been made, with Nitro and Thunder next to each other. If players are playing against each other on Nitro and Thunder cabinets, they can face off against each other in inter-brand matches.

Each of Nitro and Thunder has 12 different wrestlers playable.

Nitro: Ric Flair, Sting, Scott Steiner, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, Dan Severn, Octagon, El Dandy, Brian Pillman, Chris Candido, Fatu, Samu
Singles Campaign Champion: Ric Flair / Tag Team Campaign Champions: Samoan SWAT Team
Thunder: Randy Savage, Vader, Rick Rude, Steve Austin, Cactus Jack, Eddie Guerrero, Rayo de Jalisco, Dustin Rhodes, Dean Malenko, Jerry Lynn, Booker T, Stevie Ray
Singles Campaign Champion: Vader / Tag Team Campaign Champions: Harlem Heat

@Hoss ... what AI program do you use for creating those models, if I may ask and is it very time consuming to get somewhat good character models out of it?

Asking for a friend.

Bing Copilot and no it's very easy, though there are certain things that can be tricky like getting a specific facial hair style or various other things. It can be a bit stubborn on the finer points but the characters pretty much always look good regardless.

Interesting. Thank you, Hoss. I'm gonna take a look at that then.

No problem. You can make the characters in plenty of styles but if you're looking to do them in the same style as the ones I posted, I can DM you more info on how to produce those.

Oh that would be neat. Might be a good starting point for a deeper dive.

WCW Thunder: Bash at the Beach 1994
THUMBS UP: 460
THUMBS DOWN: 0
IN THE MIDDLE: 3

[...]

7. Rayo de Jalisco defeated Rick Rude to win the WCW Universal Heavyweight Championship in 23:56 ****3/4.

[...]

8. Macho Man Randy Savage defeated Curt Hennig in 28:52 *****. Savage continues to make a mockery of WWF's decision to turf him out for being "too old" in 1994. Despite being 40, an age where most wrestlers would start to wind down, Savage continues to be on the top of his game. Most people, when they remember this match in future, will talk about that spot, where the toe of Savage's boot scraped the rope while being pinned in the Hennig-Plex. There was an audible gasp in the crowd when that spot occurred. People argued about having this go last, and not the WCW Universal Title match, but the coronation of Rayo followed by this provided a perfect double main event. If Rude and Rayo had been asked to follow this, there is no way that they could compare.

Okay... @Hoss wanted to see them, so here it goes for those who might want to spruce up their CVerse or own databases with some new characters and are in the need of graphics for them. They all have the size of 500x500 with a transparent background, so you'd have to resize them and put them on a background of your choice yourself.

I have 590 right now and will post them in here over the next couple of days in blocks. There are a lot of similar ones in there and some very weird ones too. I just took almost everything the AI threw at me, really. Also there are Managers, Commentators etc strewn in between the Wrestler graphics as well.

I just made them for fun and a possible BTB project, maybe (and will continue to make more).

Spoiler: Block 1

Spoiler: Block 2

Spoiler: Block 3

Spoiler: Block 4

Spoiler: Block 5

There you go... first 5 blocks with 30 character graphics each. Feel free to use whatever you want from these and the following blocks.

so i downloaded the new may 2024 PWS sim and this was my first show on the road to King & Queen Of The Ring. I did make some adjustments to rosters such as Kross staying on SD, Tozawa going to SD (and using a more serious gimmick) Now instead of Cody facing Paul at K&QOTR it will instead be facing a freshly turned heel version of Andrade being managed by Robert Roode.

(oh yeah I brought back Grimes paired him with JBL and basically started a feud where Corbin like JBL is bad news.)
Also Vinci and Grimes are a tag team now with JBL as mouthpiece. Corbin loses in the first rd of KOTR tour too Grimes.

trying to rebuild Nox as a threat.

Bayley comes out looking for a #1 contender, Nia claims with the help of MVP shes gonna win Queen Of The Ring, Tiffany saying its Tiffy Time and Nox stating she just wants a chance.

Pretty Deadly vs. DIY coming soon.

Solo & his crew beating The Good Brothers

(LA Knight cuts a promo on his 1st rd foe in KOTR tour.)

Blair beats Tamina in rd 1 of QOTR

Belair beats Naomi in rd 1 of Queen Of The Ring.

Logan Paul cuts a promo on being US Champ and on his way to finishing it hes interrupted by LA Knight going to the ring.

Karrion Kross defeats LA Knight when Logan comes to do commentary and his music hits right before Knight goes for finisher. Kross moves on in KOTR semi finals next week vs. Grimes.

Carlito runs his mouth off to Braun.

Cody Braun & Woods defeat Andrade & LDF in elimination match.

Berto pinned by Braun
Angel by Cody
Andrade attacks cody with chair for DQ

Andrade is now a heel.

So I've been feeling inspired lately, and I've decided to start working on a custom universe again, based in the year 2020 and on a slightly alternate universe where pro wrestling followed a similar model, but rather that the wrestling territories came about in the 50s & 60s following the collapse of Major League Wrestling, an old entity that held a monopoly on North American wrestling and was controlled by one man.

Here's some of the current companies I have written up so far:

Universal Championship Wrestling (USA/Tri State) [Size: Large]

Spoiler

Golden State Pro Wrestling (USA/South West) [Size: Big]

Spoiler

Superior Championship Wrestling (USA/Mid West) [Size: Big]

Spoiler

All-American Wrestling Federation (USA/South East) [Medium]

Spoiler

Extreme Anarchy Wrestling (USA/Tri State) [Size: Medium]

Spoiler

There are some others that will be coming down the pike as well, such as Texas Wrestling League (Mid-South), Rocky Mountain Wrestling (North West), Continental Championship Wrestling (Mid-Atlantic), Sin City Championship Wrestling (South West), Ring of Kings (South East), and a few other indy territories in America, then I'll be moving onto Canada.

Sorry @Hoss and everyone else for not posting the rest of these character pictures. Here's the link to the whole album though, if you wanna scroll through all 580 graphics I've put up there. > https://freeimage.host/a/tew-characters.akeS9

I don't know if I mentioned it before, but there are also some commentators/interviewers and referees in there.

If there's a problem with the album, let me know and again y'all can use them all, if you want. Would be cool to see some of them pop up here or there in any of your games.
