Promotions Question....

[paulhan]

Does anyone have the FPW promotion names list and their real world counterparts? I've been trying like the dickens to find it, but to no avail. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Do you mean from previous games?

Good start this; I was referring only to Fire Pro World, the current game. :)

[paulhan]

My bad - I thought there would be more promotions in Fire Pro World, but it's just Spike Wrestling Alliance (SWA). Hopefully there will be something added down the road to include all the other groups in previous FPW games.

Thanks dank on that amazingly thorough answer... you pencil neck geek! j/k but you know that...great work! You know back in the day i was so clueless about non USA wrestling that i thought the japanese wrestling promotion names were all real ones in Fire Pro and of course just the names of wrestlers were changed >.> aaawww the good ole days of being young,arrogant,and stupid.Now i'm old,thoughtful,and not quite as stupid.Now i love WORLD wrestling and the workshop creators make me google info on people etc. i never researched before.Now if you could only make the wrestler edit and transfer mode organized by promotions etc. with SWA at the top,of course.Soon i will have 6k wrestlers and just looking up points used,parameters etc. on them is a nightmare now.I think you know Jason and Carl etc. so tell them to sit down with their bud Matsumoto and get this done(i wish).

They cant add real promotions, even using fake names because of potencial lawsuits. The guys from previews games are all available in the workshop. Just nees to search "fire pro antology" collection. You can create the promotions.
