Alternate attires being full separate characters always was such a stupid thing. It looks so bad to have characters named like “Sting ‘98” or “The Rock ‘01” instead of just being able to switch to different outfits.

King of colosseum 2 had the best setup. It had a ton of caw slots, and a ton of wrestlers had alt costumes, and every single alt slot was actually a fully editable slot, looks and moves and ai. Essentially the entire roster was caw slots, it was amazing.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

No Mercy only had good customization in retrospect - I had it in my mind to split the roster into two factions, one of whom exclusively wore tuxedo suits and boat shoes, but while you could change the name of "Mr. rear end" to "Mr. Class", you could not put him in a tuxedo for unexplained reasons. This was not the case for SCSA

For the real experience you need to spend a couple hours getting a show ready, but then Vince tears up the script at the last moment and then you have no control over what happens at all.

GM Mode 2k22 is you playing John Laurinaitis and it's just you scrolling through porn at your work computer every day and every couple weeks or so there's a minigame where you send layoff texts to a dozen or so wrestlers.

And the porn also doubles as your "talent recruitment" effort as you leaf through the nudes of various women at modeling agencies.

GM Mode also includes a diplomacy minigame where you have to go to FOX executives and come up with a list of excuses for why the ratings are dogshit and also why you keep firing all the talent they want.

You also have to dodge the sacks of money they throw at you to sign CM Punk. If you manage to dodge all of them successfully, then he goes to AEW and gives them big ratings while the Fox execs explode in rage.

That sad thing is that Fire Promoter still isn't very great. I was hyped for it but then I stopped playing it after a couple shows.

GM Mode is so long ago that I can't even compare it to anything anymore. I don't even know what mechanics it had, if it even had any.
