You actually can look at them in the editor, it's just obtuse. Instead of trying to directly load a downloaded wrestler, go Edit Mode->Wrestler Edit->Create New Edit->Model Wrestler. If you scroll past the default roster you'll get to all of your downloaded characters and you can open them and see what they're like under the hood.

It's really silly that you have to take that roundabout approach, but, y'know, Fire Pro.

Thank you! I figured there was some stupid way to do it.

Don’t know why they didn’t fly when going out of the ring. Was a shame to see such an early elimination from the tournament.

I also really didn’t appreciate the continued fighting, they could have endangered all of the innocent bystanders.

I've also had trouble with the free cam. the game stops whenever i try to use presets and only resumes after I've selected one, not really intuitive unfortunately.

Mostly this; SC definitely doesn't give a poo poo about Fire Pro and /firepro only has like 10-20 people on at any given time. If you want to make this an actual thing people care about, your best bet is trying to run an actual league of some kind on a twitch stream rather than just random match video posts, and post on fireproclub or something where the community actually is.

Also, I get why you did it but posting your own thing with a "someone simulated this" header when they can easily realize it's you means the backlash will always be worse than the benefit.

There is a head part thing in the hair list that is half a bald head and can fill in most of the partial heads from the older games for when you want a different hairstyle than originally intended. Only the heads that are new for Fire Pro World have full heads under the hair, as head and hair being separate parts is a new feature for the series.

Yes hello it is I Kurt's Secret Son


Just had my first simmed tag tournament in Fire Pro that I actually booked as opposed to randomizing. Teams were:

The Authors of Pain over The Steiner Brothers
Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero over KO and Sami
Nate and Nick Diaz over Finlay and Regal
Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho over Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne

Authors over Eddie and Rey
Diaz Bros over Benoit and Jericho

Diaz Bros over Authors of Pain

The Diaz Bros won each of their matches in under 10 minutes with chokeholds so I guess real fighting is better than fake fighting. The Rey/Eddie vs KOSZ, Brits vs Chrises, and Authors vs Rey/Eddie all got over 85% rating too. It's cool to watch the sims when the CAW creators have clearly tuned the logic so well.

E2: it turns out that despite being much better at fighting than wrestlers, shoot fighters are much more susceptible to being blown up with bombs. All my matches keep ending in double KOs when the timebombs go off. Cowards

In addition to what everyone else has mentioned, I"d suggest not using the same Ric Flair for all 8 Ric Flairs. Aside from it looking kinda dull, the fact they all have the same moveset and CPU logic means they're all going to fight exactly the same. Grabbing 8 random Ric Flairs from the workshop would result in a more interesting match.

I'd completely forgotten one of the things I was doing in my TEW2016 Montreal save. So Bubba Ray Dudley is a lower midcard heel working a racist gimmick (rated legendary) with Dave Meltzer as his manager (nicknamed Big Daddy Meltz because of course) and it's working out decently.

I also got possibly the worst Pillman memorial show booked by the AI. It's such a pile of poo poo until the semi-main


Johnny Devine goes to a double countout with Denny Kass (some dude that was in BCW at the time) (E)
Sandman beats James Storm (D)
Monster Ripper beats Brandi Alexander (E-)
Sabu beats Ricky Morton (D+
Danny Doring beats Phil LaFon (E+)
Scotty 2 Hotty beats Edge (D+)
Shawn Stasiak beat Bushwhacker Luke (D-)
Barry Windham beat Henry Godwin (D+)
Earthquake beat Miguel Perez Jr (D)
Godfather went to a double count out with Chris Jericho (C+)
Sting beat Scott Steiner (B+)

It just went from maybe a 4/10 to an easy 6.5/10.

Yeah shooters have a much harder time defending against pro wrestling stuff like slams, aerial moves, powerbombs, bomb bombs, etc.

They're still absolute beasts due to their ability to stuff out Irish Whips and get a massive lead in damage in the early match, though.

tag match was happening between my CAWs and in the midst of the match, all 4 were in the ring. one non-active wrestled KO'd another with his finisher, which I've never seen happen in a tag match before; the body would just stay there so now this guy has nobody to tag out to. Seconds later the active guy gets KO'd too, amazing.

There's like a half dozen annoying and inexplicable things about TEW. That's one. The one I hate the most, though, is that the dude still hasn't worked out how to write files to a user folder, so you have to run the fucker with admin privileges to write to program files
