Seems like a long shot but a lot of the "new stuff" they add in year to year are actually things they cut from old versions so it's possible

I like that HHH shows up to fight Cena in an angle and then doesn't have a match while Cena goes on to beat someone else.

And that fight was the highest rated thing on the show. loving part timers stealing all the heat.

This is one of my favorite little interactions, especially when it's someone who has been pissing me off that gets intimidated.

Since I showed the lovely Mania card, I should note that TNA has completely surpassed WWE in this world and is the #2 promotion after me. They have signed every over WWE guy that I didn't want. Here's the latest show, which was on the same night as Extreme Rules and had much higher attendance and buys.

Dev Blog #1: Release Date and Price

Greetings grapple fans! This is Spike Chunsoft company mouthpiece Dave K. I’m sorry for keeping you all in the dark for so long but the suits upstairs have finally cleared me to say what you’ve been waiting to hear:

Fire Pro Wrestling World will hit Steam Early Access on July 10 for $19.99.

Fire Pro Wrestling World takes the classic gameplay engine that earned the series its loyal following and builds upon it with, and this is big, online play and Steam Workshop support to share your custom wrestlers.

“But wait,” you say, “where does the ‘Early Access’ part come in?” While the game is fully-formed, it’s far from complete. We want community input to help us decide where to invest our man hours. What new moves, modes or features do you want to see? Asking is free!

Fire Pro lives on today thanks to the community and I’m counting on your feedback and help in teaching newbies the ropes. Of course, we promise to do our part with tutorial videos and this development blog. Who knows, if I can convince the IT team to let me hijack a computer I might even be able to get director Matsumoto do some streaming.

Check out this post for a sampling of the new content ready for Early Access and check back in the weeks leading up to launch for more details about the Steam Workshop, online matches and maybe even some fresh features.

Until next time, stay strong.

-Dave K

If I remember right, Dave K is also the guy working on localization and running the Twitter account.

This seems to vary big time mod to mod (+ the random potential things)

In my old game from the previous version, the team of Portia Perez and Christina von Eerie were probably the greatest tag team of all time (any gender) and two of the best workers on earth. That was fun.

Is there a good resource for modding PC WWE 2k17? I found a forum that has a lot of tools and stuff but I can't really figure out how to use any of it or really what the limitations on importing characters or whatever are.

also the RNG gods love me because when Adam Cole threw a punch at Nigel McGuinness and got his rear end beat, the resulting fine I threw at him both improved his behavior and made everyone involved happier. Cole was happier than McGuinness that he got fined. I guess maybe he was happy I didn't fire him?

Coming up on my Rumble equivalent - just signed Chris Hero (previously employed as an opener in WWE and let go without a fight) but it turned out he started his time decline at 35 years old, so I'll probably either put him in a starmaker Foley role or stick him with rookies in a tag team. Cole and an up-and-coming dojo graduate are in one such tag team set to go up against the Time Splitters (Cole was my first ace but he's been depushed in favor of the Styles / Generico / Steen trinity) but Shelley broke his drat leg so Tyler Bate's subbing in for him. Set up a brand split (red/black) with the red brand being the sort of Smackdown analogue, no A-level stars but thick with workrate killers. KENTA's dominating on that side and is set to go over Pentagon Dark at the next PPV.

Oh I also poached Paul E. and have him attached at the hip to every low carder I'm pushing. A-rated hype segments for days

Nice. I was going to talk about how awesome that main event sounded, and then I realized it's a real match we'll probably see soon on Smackdown. I guess real life wrestling isn't ALL bad.

I'm doing an angle where two of my top young stars are "evenly matched" and their feud keeps having indecisive finishes. I also had a lot of storyline gently caress finishes in my last show, I hope I'm not turning into WWE.



Ichimonji is 24 and Eliades is 23. I had their first title match end in a double count out at 58 minutes, and now the 60 minute draw. I'm sure in real life there's a high chance people would poo poo on this, but whatever, they were both A rated matches in a performance fed, so clearly it's the Okada/Omega of the year 2027. It's building up to a NO TIME LIMIT MATCH!!! at the next pay per view.

I didn't really want to do the double count out in the tag title match on top of that, but I'd been building up Tyler Black and Adam Cole turning heel by destroying all 4 people for months. They've been my top faces for years and it felt stale as hell to me. I was also curious how hosed up things would get if I turned my figurehead into the top heel. We'll see! (And yes, Rowdy Burgers is Ronda Rousey + Cheeseburger, the ultimate tag team)

I kind of rationalize my booking by reminding myself that when seen from a distance, wrestling is like Taco Bell in that it's a small amount of ingredients reused endlessly. I've gotten consistently positive results by booking every feud like it's Hulk / Warrior - if you're in a feud, you never ever come out of an angle or match looking bad. Even interference rarely results in a guy losing. You need a huge roster, though, to keep your chosen guys on winning streaks.

TBH I'm cheating a bit bc the old school "put over your opponent" promos and constant tense staredowns would get very old very quickly irl, but they help ensure that no one ends up with a momentum hit at the end of a storyline.

I actually haven't been able to play TEW for myself until this game, mainly because freestyle angles let me map out shows in my head without having to constantly tailor and search for angles from a list.

Oh definitely, that's pretty much how I do it too. My wins/losses are very old school.

Ichimonji is 15-1 this year, Eliades 14-3, my tag champs are 15-1. Then you've got the jobbers to the stars sitting around 9-6, 10-7, and so on, then down lower on the card you've got a bunch of 4-12, 3-13. I feel like this makes upsets mean a lot more. And it avoids the top guys having to lose to each other constantly in those 50/50 programs.

I do also just use generic angles and pretend what I have in my head is actually happening. Backstage Brawl 1 v 1 and the various generic promos are my bread and butter.

edit: and as far as huge rosters go I have 78 active wrestlers holy poo poo I need to fire a bunch of people

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

There were actually always "free flowing" angles as an option in TEW but a lot of people didn't realize that since the default was those set angles and you had to choose "unchained".

Oddly I'm kind of the opposite. I mean, I like being able to just "write" an angle and do whatever I want when I have an idea of what I want but I used to use those pre-done angles and storylines on my lower card to give people ready made stories to keep them occupied when I wasn't that focused on them. Like, I'd run an entire B Show of just pre-made stories and then shift the ones who get over to my A show.
