I use them as such but they are Openers which the Steiners obviously weren't. Close enough until something better comes along. Also, the Steiners wrestled throughout the 90s, they should have 90s character as well (especially with the Big Poppa Pump ALT for Scott) I do agree. The Steiners, as much as they're not my personal cup of tea, are top tier tag and they should be presented as such. So unless Cabb and Magnus get upgraded to reflect it... and it makes it tricky with Magnus reflecting Angle. I suppose a third Magnus Alt in chain mail and obviously roided up might do the trick nicely though? Pat 'Rick' Cabbage becomes Cabb though and I think that rather covers Rick as he went off the rails in the 90's in terms of push. You could have the theoretical 'evil' third Magnus Alt be both a tag partner and have a feud with him. Throw in legally distinct Chucky somewhere somehow and you have WCW infamy. my only problem with Magnus and Cabb in the 90s feel more like Angle and Taz respectively. I would rather see an actual 80s Steiners in Letterman Jackets and a 90s version of Rick in the leather jacket and Rottweiler shoulder covers with Scott turning blonde and in white as an WNO version. Plus get two 80s alts to Yuppie VP, one in the early 80s as part of yje U.S. Express with Barry Wyndam, and one in a Letterman Jacket to form the Varsity Club. Even get a Kevin Sullivan/Taskmaster manager card. Of course that would also warrant a few Barry Wyndam variants...and then it's 2025 and....

There's definite scope for a whole raft of WCW inspired cards.

Time to update the wishlist again, for the end of winter! Rick and Scotty Steiner I forgot to say, aren't the Steiners meant to be Magnus and Cabbage? And then Cabbage sort of morphs into either / both as Cabb, whilst Magnus becomes Kurt Angle? You could also say he becomes Ultra Magnus due to his colour scheme but I can't deal with that reference now. I've always head-cannon'd that Pat Cabbage was Ivan Putski + Cabbage Patch Doll and Magnus Muscle was a M.U.S.C.L.E. figure with a dash of Ken Patera.

Time to update the wishlist again, for the end of winter! I'm with you with Elizabeth, Adam Bomb, Jericho and the Jumping Bomb Angels. I wouldn't mind seeing Slick as either the Slickster or the Reverend Skick. I don't know if we have them but Kamala and Giant Gonzales as well? I know Krool = Drool but I wouldn't mind retconning that and Drool remains separate but Krool has two alts - Evil Dentist and 'Bigger Rigger' or something similar. 😆 Although I do like the idea that Krool has a backstory. Finally match types: * Spin the Wheel Make a Deal (it randomly selects a match type when the match begins) * Blindfold Match (for Reptile and Ricardo mainly) * Empty Arena Match (Foley vs. Rock in the late 90's) * Beauty Pageant (a bit sexist and outdated I know, but it is the 80's and 90's! Plus why can't we put the men in one?) * Tornado Tag (if such a match can be restricted to tag matches) * Pink Slip on a Pole (last official wrestling match created in the 90's, and could be used to forcibly send a wrestler away for a bit). Slick makes me automatically want to have One Man Gang/Akeem the African Dream in the game.

Slick is an interesting case of a manager from that era who had multiple guys on his docket but never managed to lead any of them to a championship.
Side note...if you have not watched the clip for "Jive Soul Bro" from the Piledriver album...you're missing out on the nostalgic cringes!

He got a main event rub with the Twin Towers - I'll give another nod to Akeem and OMG for this game too by the by - but his other wrestlers were mid card or Jobber. He had Rick Martel for a small while (Rick didn't need him) and he had Warlord until Slick turned Reverend and tried to proselytise Kamala from the evil Kim Chee or whoever was managing Kamala at the time (Wippleman?). Now, Warlord... I know we have Demolition but do we have a good analogue for the Powers of Pain? I've always found them criminally underrated as a team and as Solo wrestlers, especially Warlord.

Long thread, so I'm not sure if these have been covered yet (I know I've already put some of these on before too)...but as far as feature updates go, I'd love to have:
- The ability to move matches around on the cards (happy for this to come at a small cost each time or something you can unlock similar to the extra segments) - The ability for a wrestler to appear in 1x Skit, 1x Mic Spot and 1x Match on the same card - Managers to be able to appear in multiple matches/skits (this could easily be limited to managers where you've unlocked the relevant wrestler already or they manage a faction) - A choice to have a 30 man Battle Royal at Battle Royale (with the ability to choose at what P4V the winner gets the title shot on Monthly Mode) and 20 woman Battle Royal at Ladies Night - A choice to have 4v4 matches at Survival of the Fittest and maybe one 8v8 match which uses Tag Teams - The ability to pre-select venues either for the whole current month or even for the entire play year + more venues would be ace! - Unlockable Extra Slots for P4V's too - A "Dark Match" match type that increases the likelihood of a skill increase (happy for this to only be available using an unlocked extra segment with the trade-off being that any cards used in it do not count towards attendance or ratings)

Dyno, I like all of it, but especially the Dark Match idea.

Just thinking, maybe at some point we can get an update on the jobbers looks. Maybe one to look like "Iron" Mike Sharp, Barry Horowitz, a random masked guy, Princess Victoria (the native American gimmick), etc. Sure there are plenty of others than we can think of, but these were just the ones off the top of my head.
Edit:Referring to the local talent jobbers that is.

I'd rather have Horowitz as a named jobber from 80-90 moving to opener for 90-whenever. The others sound fine.

Wondering what newer wrestlers anybody still thinks are missing from the game? Not features or matches per se but just wrestlers... as there is a massive roster already! Here's my selection and why:
* The Jumping Bomb Angels (One of the best if not the best women's tag ever and, frankly, the roster needs more consistent female input!)
* Overload as "the Shark" If Overboard has now taken the 'Shockmaster' gimmick it would be nice if the Tenta-version of Overload had his own 'bad' gimmick again. Maybe 'The Whale' or something? Overwhale?
* The Brood Whilst they came in the tail end of the 90's, I wouldn't mind seeing the original Brood here. I don't know what equivalents Edge and Christian have in MDM but you could retroactively put them in here to lead into MDM couldn't you? And Gangrel, you could add another variant to Keith Blood?
* Sister Shipley / Elfette Shipley For the 90's, change Sister Shipley first into a Monk and then a variant under the control of the Gargoyle (giving Gargoyle a new manager slot) to reflect the changes for Ripley in Alien 3 and 4. And it adds some new variety for the women's roster!
* Sonya Blade Again, more women = not a bad thing, but this gives Femme Fatale a new feud and possibly a new tag with Blizzard for another new feud - Fatale / Brimstone vs. Blizzard and this new person.
* Hakushi I don't know if the game has a clear Hakushi variant but if not it should have one as Hakushi is underrated. Feud with Mercenary in the 90's.
* Platinum Blonde into Slapnuts Blonde Simply because Jarrett's big gimmick change in the late 90's was drastically different to the country western singer gimmick. I'd swap out Platinum with the Slapnuts version for Platinum. A bit of work but I'd love to see it as the Slapnuts version is pretty much most versions of Jarrett to follow.
* Chun-Li To manage Max and Johnny in the 90's but also to pad out the women's roster.
* Ivory Could call her Onyx or something and have her feud with Dande.
* Doctor What from Modern Mania He regenerates after all so wouldn't it be cool to see some of his earlier faces here? 😇
* Transformers Don't ask me how you'd do this but a game paying homage to the 80's missing Optimus Prime and Megatron? Even if it's a guy in red trunks called Orion Primus and a guy in grey called Megastorm... something. However as an extra twist when the 90's hit turn them into Rodimus in orange and Galvatron in purple / grey!
* Detective Chance We have Indiana and Han, but we don't have Deckard? Throw Arizona into a fedora and trenchcoat, give him a stable with Detective X and / or Sydney and a rivalry with someone like the Annihilator and we're good to go.
* Santa Claus Why hasn't this been done as a yearly unlock? 🥳
* Valedictorian as WCW version It would be great to include him in the Whole New Era once 1995 hits.
Those are a few of my suggestions. What do you guys think?

I mean even using Countess as Baroness so she has someone to manage in the 90s would work. The only real decision would be Cobalt vs Copper along with Iron Mask.
