[Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
Hi everyone, This morning while writing down notes for my wrestling games I just realized there might be a potential problem in the offing with some of these wrestlers. That is that many of these guys often changed their ring names several times throughout there career. Especially, when changing promotions. For instance, current hard core legend Mick Foley. Those of you who watch TNA would know him as Mick Foley. That's the current name the guy is using on screen. However, those of us, like myself, who have been around know him by a string of past career names that include Cactus Jack, Jack Foley, Dude Love, Mankind, Mick Foley, etc. This is a problem for a game author like myself who can only pick one name and move set for this person. The problem is further compounded I think when we are dealing with people who don't know that Cactus Jack, Mankind, Dude Love, and Mick Foley are the same guy. I can see potential questions like, why don't you add Cactus Jack to the game? Then, I would have to reply he is in the game, but he is using a different alias like Mick Foley. This could become quite confusing for gamers I think. Any suggestions how to handle this? And before someone mentions it let me just say I'm not writing a game editor. That's too much work, too much of a pain, and the game is open source anyway. My feeling is since it is open source, you get the source code, it is your option to edit and recompile the game however you want. This really negates any need for an external editor in my personal opinion. In either case weather or not there is an editor there has to be a way to determine or decide which name should get used in the default roster. My vote is simply to use the most current name used by the wrestler, or the one directly used by the WWE. That to me makes sense because the game would be more or less up to date as far as the wrestler's career goes. In some cases I realise it is a no brainer what name should get used. For example, recently retired world heavy wait champion, Edge, had a number of less well known names before signing onto the WWE roster in the late 90's. Once he became a WWE wrestler Alex Copeland would forever be known to his fans as Edge. As I said in a case like that its a clear cut case of what name to use. However, others like Mick Foley have had so many names over the last 20 years or so it is hard for me to pick. Any thoughts?

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
Hi Tom, Yes, I have a suggestion that can be implemented well into the game without much work, that we can see in Tournament. When you choose a wrestler you can have an info option or something like that, that would display something about the wrestler. So you can have a wrestler with his current alias and in the info tell the gamer that he had previous ones and what they were. Best regards!

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
OTOH, what if he also changed his wrestling behaviour/identity with the different nicknames? As in the character in the game is more related to the screen persona at the time of using that name, as opposed to the actual person who was performing/carrying out that role - would, to be honest though - be a bit strange to have two of his persona's fighting against each other.

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
Hi Milos, Thanks. That does seam like a good suggestion. I might have a section in the bio called aliases and for someone like Mick Foley it would then list his popular aliases like Cactus Jack, Dude Love, Mankind, etc. Then someone would easily be able to see that wrestler wrestled under a variety of different names and styles in the past. While we are at it we could even include the wrestlers real name as well as their popular ring names. In the case of Mick Foley that is his real name, but for many years he used aliases. This would certainly help those of us who either don't know a lot of wrestling background/history, or those who couldn't see that it was the same guy with different entrance music, name, and outfit.

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
Hi Jacob, Smile. That's exactly my point, and why there is an issue to solve/settle. Its not just that these wrestlers changed there music, outfits, and ring names they changed their style of wrestling, alliance, and personality to fit the character. For instance, in the 1980's I grew up admiring Hulk Hogan. Throughout the 80's he played a face character, practically reached super hero status, and was one of my childhood favorites. However, when he quit the WWF and whent over to WCW he changed his entire persona to that of a heel character called Haliwood Hogan. He died his hair, changed his wrestling tights, and I honestly didn't like his new character very much. Years later he would return to the WWE and resume his former Hulk Hogan roll. These things happen all the time in professional wrestling and really all depends on the story and circomstances of the promotion at the time, and what wrestling federation he/she is wrestling for. Another example is Sheri Martel. Throughout the 80's she came to fame wrestling through the AWA, NWA, and the WWF under the ring name Sheri Martel. After she won the WWF Women's championship she renamed herself Sinsational Sheri. A year later after she lost the title to Rockin' Robin she once again completely changed her onscreen roll. She started dressing up in a witch outfit, called herself Scary Sheri, and played the part of a heel who kept interfearing in Rockin' Robin's matches in the hopes of getting her to drop the title to one of Sheri's heel allies. After Randy Savage won the King of the Ring match he named himself Macho King and she renamed herself Queen Sheri. You get the idea. changing rolls is nothing new for wrestlers It is in a way nothing more than a soap opra with people beating each up inside a square ring. Todays mortal enemy is tomorrows best friend. Todays best friend is tomorrows main event grudge match. It makes writing an all stars wrestling game complicated because rolls change from year to year and week to week. That's why most wrestling games out there are pretty specific who is in it and what year it takes place. Games like THQ's WWE Raw vs Smackdown games are released on a yearly basis. They showcase the top performers for that year, and your matches are played out using the actual site locations as WWE Raw and Smackdown for that specific year. If a performer is a heel at the time the game is made he/she is a heel. If they turn face the next year they will return in the new game as a face character. Although, the games will allow you to change his/her status in game as well. To be honest this is exactly what I was planning to do before people began bombarding me into the ground for this or that wrestler to be in the game. It is alot easier to take the top 20 performers of the year and write a game around their stories than it is to add 100 wrestlers in the game and have to waid through different identities, storylines, and decide which one will make the cut or just get the boot.

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
tom this is just a thought. But why not write a database maybe a text file with all the names in it or whatever. maybe have sertain headings, etc. If people want to update the database or if you care to then it will not be a problem. Ofcause you will have to have it easy enough that people could put it in notepad. I don't imagine it would have to be that much.

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
Hi Jacob, Well, unfortunately Eddie Guerrero died a few years back which brings up another issue I've been wondering how to handle. That is some of these wrestlers have passed away either through drug over doses, murder, or some other kind of accident. I've always maintained that it is a bit unrealistic to include someone to the roster who passed away, and therefore couldn't realistically wrestle on any current roster. I know THQ, who produces most of the WWE games, had a similar issue when Chris Benoit died. They were about to release an update to their WWE Raw VS Smackdown game when he was murdered. In the end they decided to just remove his character completely from the game, and took him off the roster of playable characters. Some people objected to that, and others felt THQ made the right call. I'm finding myself in a similar situation now. No matter what I do its going to be the wrong decision for somebody. However, this is in part made up for a custom wrestler feature so if I don't include a wrestler someone really wants because he or she passed away they can add him/her to the unofficial roster.

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
Hi, The reason is it wouldn't work. Just adding names to a text file wouldn't really work, because its not just the names that change. As I explained earlier on list when these wrestlers change there identities they often change their signature moves, change their finishers, change their alliance, change their outfits, and generally their personality too. For example, Mick Foley who I mentioned earlier on list. As Cactus Jack he played a heel who was suppose to be a wild texan with a hard core fighting style that included foreign objects like barbed whire, two-by-fours, and a number of moves specific to Cactus Jack. After he joined the WWF Mick Foley created a totally new persona called Mankind. Unlike Cactus Jack Mankind was suppose to be a mentally disturbed individual who lived in boiler rooms, talked to rats, and supposably had a split personality as well. Instead of the barbed wire and big Texan persona of Cactus Jack Mankind's most memorable feature is his sock puppet, Socko, that added comity to his interviews. Plus after Mankind won a match he use to stick a dirty sock in the defeated aponents mouth which was funny. The weirdest part of Mankind was his split personality where he'd talk to himself in the voice of Mankind and then change to Dude Love and back again. It was as different from Cactus Jack as you could get. Mankind was a completely different character with his own unique moves and fighting style. So just changing his name means nothing unless you are ready to update the character profile in earnest. Cheers! On 4/19/11, shaun everiss sm.ever...@gmail.com wrote: tom this is just a thought.

Ofcause you will have to have it easy enough that people could put it in notepad. I don't imagine it would have to be that much. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers
Yeah, I know. Was just mentioning his name, but it's really up to you who you'll include by default...smile Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Wednesday, April 20, 2011 5:02 AM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Multiple Names for Wrestlers Hi Jacob, Well, unfortunately Eddie Guerrero died a few years back which brings up another issue I've been wondering how to handle. That is some of these wrestlers have passed away either through drug over doses, murder, or some other kind of accident. I've always maintained that it is a bit unrealistic to include someone to the roster who passed away, and therefore couldn't realistically wrestle on any current roster. I know THQ, who produces most of the WWE games, had a similar issue when Chris Benoit died. They were about to release an update to their WWE Raw VS Smackdown game when he was murdered. In the end they decided to just remove his character completely from the game, and took him off the roster of playable characters. Some people objected to that, and others felt THQ made the right call. I'm finding myself in a similar situation now. No matter what I do its going to be the wrong decision for somebody. However, this is in part made up for a custom wrestler feature so if I don't include a wrestler someone really wants because he or she passed away they can add him/her to the unofficial roster.
