Upper Midcard

Upper Midcard (6/10)

  1. Alright, just a quick update...and possibly the last one for 2K23. I've decided that I WILL in fact be transitioning to 2K24. Within the last 2 weeks and all of the news regarding features in the next game...most notably Spectator Mode...it's too much to pass up on. WAY to much, as Spectator Mode could DRASTICALLY REVOLUTIONIZE how sim matches are done. Even if the CAW mode remains exactly the same as 2K23...the new features being added to the next game are enough to warrant a purchase. Also, as anyone on Twitter has seen...I'm now the owner of a PS5...so that's also factoring into the decision. What does that mean for 2K23? In a nutshell...further projects are being halted indefinitely, and will be conducted on 2K24. Apologies to anyone who was waiting in future updates. With that said, I'll see ya'll on 2K24!
  2. Following this comment, this is the best place for me to make this announcement. Unless 2K24 offers something DRASTICALLY mindblowing...I'll not be moving onto the next game. In all truth, the next WWE2K game I purchase will be the 1st COMPLETELY current gen version. Meaning when they move completely away from the PS4. So yea, there will be a lot more releases for 2K23. I'll be putting out the next batch of ladies soon. No Kharyzma Stewart, as I haven't come up with ANY ideas what to do with the name...and as I said I don't even remember what the original looked like. But there's another character included who will compensate. A "semi" new character...that I'll go into detail upon the release.
  3. That's a fair assessment. I should have better worded the post you quoted. This site still does see action. I'm just not seeing engagement on my thread. Not as I did in years past. Granted it has a lot to do with many of the older school members moving on...be it to other platforms or retiring outright. Be that as it may, I'm not getting engagement or feedback from "newer" members. Is it cuz they think my CAWS suck because my style isn't as flashy as others? Who knows. The fact of the matter is I'm more inclined to post where I get the most feedback, good or bad. That for me is Twitter right now. I wouldn't completely pull out of CAWS.ws completely in 1 fell swoop, but it doesn't look like there's a place for me here anymore. I'd even accept constructive criticism. I've stuck to the same style for a very long time. Perhaps I could stand to spice things up. But I'm not even getting that much. The only folks posting to my thread are my tried and true...who have been following my work for decades now. I venture out and post on other people's threads hoping that they're repay the effort...but they don't. Just speaking from my experience this year.
  4. @judas priest superstar, I'm running into some issues regarding Kharyzma...that being I don't even remember what she looked like, LOL. I just tried to look up Google images and I can't find anything, and any images of what she looked like I may have personally had probably were lost when my old laptop crapped out on me. I'm looking forward to seeing you back on the lab, good brother. Welcome back. I know, I'm mad late responding...lol.
  5. Here's a match I simmed a few days ago. A technical wrestling clinic between Arseniy Volkov and @White Leather Jacket's Jack Snyder.
  6. Just for you, I'll make them the next round of female I release. It's been over a month since I've posted here, but not due to inactivity. I've still been in the lab, but working more on a edits and redesigns then making new CAWs since my last update. I plan on showcasing these edits next, and then I'll hammer out the list of my newer ladies.
  7. This brings my total to 66 characters uploaded. You can only have 80 on CC at a time which means I can only make 14 more before I have to pull some off of the server to make room for anything new...so if you haven't downloaded any of the characters I made at the game's launch I'd suggest doing so, because I'll be pulling my earliest made characters off 1st.
  8. AT LONG LAST!!! Yea, I know it's been a minute. As mentioned in my previous post, this site just hasn't been what it used to be as far as engagement. Couple that with me switching to a new site as far as work, and being neck deep in other games, my production has obviously taken a hit. But I plan on getting back in the lab soon since I've either completed or am near completing the games I've been playing. With all of that out of the way, here comes the next upload pack. This one is heavy; 10 total female characters. A very, VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY long time ago in the e-fed that predated my brother @Thr33X 's XWA known as the League Of Xtraordinary Wrestling (LXW), we had a "Diva Search" contest in it's 2nd year. Quite a few characters came as result of this content, including 2 of my own female characters. Aimee LeBlanc here happens to be one of those 2 characters. This version is a huge departure from the last time I made her years ago. Current day Aimee draws cues from the Street Fighter 6 character Manon in both design, personality and move-set. Only thing changed from her previous version is the hair dye. Everything else about Celeste is identical to her 2K22 version. No need to mess around with her design. I didn't get around to making Danielle last year, so I had to bring her back. Her design is unchanged, though I made her a little leaner than her last incarnation, which was from 2K19. Like Danielle, it's been a couple years since I made Emma. Her overall attire design is unchanged, just gave her wrist tape and kneepads this time around. Like her counterpart Crystal Bayless, she uses the European style of wrestling and has a submission based moveset, one of the few characters I create with such a theme to them. Lakoda is the other female character I created as result of the LXW Diva Search. I settled on her current look a couple years ago when I turned her heel, and the look remains. Though more of a tweener now in current day, she still remains one of the most intense competitors on the CAW roster, male or female. Like so many others, Noelle comes back relatively unchanged. Different hairstyle and a long sleeve on her right arm, aside from those aspects she's just as she was for her 2K22 version. A match for the most physically strongest female character on my roster. I didn't make her last year because right around when I planned to (along with many others) is when I had my health issues. Aside from a change-up of her top and bottom, her design is the same as previous years. Unlike Danielle who I made leaner, I opted to make Shannon a little thicker to show she'd made gains in the gym since her last appearance. Daughter of Pollux Troy & niece to Kastor & Helena Troy. A 3rd generation wrestler who certainly embraces her family's reputation for ruthlessness. I opted to make Skylar's attire this year reminiscent to her aunt's seeing as she's now aligned with "The Coven" following Perxephone's defection from the group. Brand new to 2K23 is Fa'Tali "Tali" Mamula is the younger sister of Timoa Mamula. She's big, strong and deceptively agile. Formerly known as Venera Kristoff, last time I made her was in 2K19. Another of my female powerhouse characters, she now calls herself "The Tsara" of professional wrestling, fashioning herself after the Tsars of old Russia. Tags are as always OZCAW and CAW23.
  9. Sorry for the absence. As WLJ mentioned above, I've been a bit more active on Twitter and FB as far as my CAW sharing endeavors. I'm just not getting the same amount of feedback here as I'm getting on other platforms. With that being said, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be posting my work here. I'm gonna be completely honest...this site is not what it used to be. The engagement here has been lacking for the last few years...but THIS year it's been by far the worse. Add to that we don't have our own dedicated "original" section and have to cohabitate with non-original CAW posts...it's a bit lazy on the admins side. Overall, I'm not really enjoying the CAWS.WS experience anymore. Keeping 100 here, Regarding the next update, I will have it done this week. Need to put the finishing touches on movesets and get the images prepared. New content is definitely on the way.
  10. Creativity knows no age, though I won't be doing this forever. Eventually I'll move on like so many other have. But for the foreseeable future, that's not happening. As promised, here comes the next update!!! 8 characters...7 male and 1 female. Believe it or not, Arseniy here is my 1st Russian character in over 15 years. The last one I made went by the name of Vasily Rasputin, but I gave the character to my brother @Thr33X a few years ago. Never made one again, until now. Arseniy "The Arsenal" Volkov is a different take on the Russian Grappler gimmick. Most Russians (including Vasily) are portrayed as being from downtrodden, militaristic backgrounds. They see westerners as weaklings. They're stoic, unfeeling and emotionless. Arseniy is none of those things. Arseniy is the son of a powerful Russian oligarch and retired Combat Sambo champion Arcadiy Volkov. Raised in wealth his entire life, Arseniy has received the finest training from the best instructors and schools in the world. A prodigy of multiple martial arts including Sambo, Judo, TKD and BJJ to name a few, he prides himself as "the most complete combat athlete on Earth". He's brash, arrogant and loves flaunting his wealth and status. But he can back every ounce of his bravado up as he's an athlete unlike none other, winning every tournament he's ever competed in. He now sets his sights on professional wrestling, to further bolster his status and show the world what he already believes...he's the best, period. Arseniy was a spur of the moment creation, as on twitter @White Leather Jacket made mention of Russian character gimmicks and I came realize...I had no Russians. Well...no Russian males anyway. A day later, I had Arseniy completed. All art assets on him is AI generated, including his face texture. His move-set was painstakingly crafted to be combat centric. He performs like a fighter, not a wrestler. His attires are cut and dry, the 1st being a vale tudo based look, the 2nd being the traditional combat sambo uniform with his logo work adorning it. Arseniy is going to be a focal point of my new generation of talent, and I look forward to evolving the character further. "The Natural" Dylan Brody is among my "2nd generation" of characters, dating back to 2002. Dylan himself is a 2nd generation wrestler, being the son of one of Simon Fierhart's oldest friends and allies Dan "The Boulder" Brody. One of Simon's 1st students, Dylan has come a long way since his debut, undergoing many character changes. But what hasn't changed is he's one of the 1st "hybrid" characters I've made...being a bigger, stronger character capable of moving like a crusierweight. In recent years, I've altered his look from bein Randy Orton-esqe to something more akin to Buddy Matthews. Since turning him heel, he's maintained a consistent mean streak and has become a more cerebral character. I debated redoing his art using AI, but if it ain't broke...don't fix it. Unlike Dylan, Gabe's undergone a complete overhaul...including his gimmick. 2 years ago when I changed his last name to "Niyol" (Navajo for Wolf) from Dezba, I went for a more wolf themed motif for him. This year I double down on it, as he's now known as "The Red Wolf" Gabriel Niyol. Embracing his heritage as a Navajo warrior, I went with an attire as similar to Tatanka's as I could get seeing as of all years THIS is the one 2K decide to remove his creation parts from CAW mode. So no loincloth of head dress. (That pissed me off, but what can you do, eh?) Like all of my updated characters, the art assets are AI generated. I'm really digging the way he came out. Between the ropes he fights similarly to his mentor Simon Fierhart, swapping out Simon's more violent moves for moves that better fit Gabe's free-flowing style. He still uses the Tomahawk as a signature though. That's never changing...lol. This one is near and dear to me. Jonny Pyro is a character created by one of my oldest friends in the CAW community...who went by the same name as his character. We all pretty much started our journeys as creators at the same time me, my brother, JP, WLJ, @The 1 Man Horror Movie, @The Scorpion, and so many other now retired creators back in the early 2000s. By now the story of VWE is well known, but @lilsting10...creator of one of VWE's top characters Chris Lionheart put out a call here as VWE was looking for new talent, and we all answered. Pyro (character name John Pryor) would come to be one of the most prominent of our 1st class of E-fed characters, building a mythos and history over the next several years in VWE, LXW, XWA, TNB and other feds. Of note, JP and my own Jayson Jones were fast friends as characters, representative of how his creator and I became friends away from CAW making. But as time passed and everyone got older, our hobby of role playing dwindled. JP's creator got married, had kids and started his own business. By 2008, he pretty much retired from the scene...leaving a lasting legacy with his character that's still felt through many of us old schooler's creations. Well, 2 months ago I caught up with JP on Facebook and we chatted it up. We talked about the old days, and I asked him for permission to bring Pyro into the modern era. He graciously gave me the go ahead, and what you see here is the end result. I decided to base 2023 Pyro on his last known attire, which was from 2008. I added the obvious age to him (he's 38) and created AI generated assets for him. Since the character Pyro was more of a prize fighter type, I didn't want to go to flashy, since this is a Jon Pryor returning to wrestling after a long layoff of being a family man. Rather than give him lots of ink, I decided to just stick with his signature dragon tat on the right arm, and gave him a new Detroit "D" on the left paying homage to his hometown, the Motor City. As far as his moves...that was tricky seeing as the way moves work...and even WHAT moves are in the game are different from SVR2008. So I did as best I could trying to recreate his move-set. Like I said, JP was a brawler at his base, but also had a lot of technical prowess and could take to the air when needed, so I tried to replicate his old style...along with a few new tricks. All and all I'm happy to bring the character forward, and share him with all of my fellow OGs who remember his significance to our community. Speaking of blasts from the past, Lavar Justice is a character I last made waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in 2014. Originally based on Tough Enough contestant (and American Gladiator) Jesse "Justice" Smith, I made the character as the enforcer for a stable called the "Black Empire" consisting of him, Jeff "The BAM" Bambridge and Solomon King as rivals of Jayson Jones. Hell, I completely FORGOT about the character before I got access to an old image hosting account I had, where I'd uploaded pics of him. Pretty much decided "yea, I'll show you some love" from there...and this is the end result. I don't actually have a direction for the character since he's been out of the loop for so long, but I'll probably switch things up for him...making him an ally of Jay-J now. The youngest of the original Fierhart siblings...Ryan Fierhart in recent years has become one of my top babyfaces. And why not? He looks the part. He's one of only 4 characters on my roster to be a grand slam champion. He's ALSO the husband to Ashley Diamond, now being married for 10 years, and having a 4 year old daughter. In fact, the marriage to Ashley...who was revealed to be the half sister of Helena, Kastor and Pollux Troy back in 2009 offset the over 100 year feud between the Fierhart and Troy clans. While they've made piece with the revelation, the bad blood between their older brothers...who have decades of history against each other, still lingers. At 34, Ryan's in the prime of his career and has long since stepped out of the shadow is his legendary older brother. With rivalries against the likes of Dylan Brody, Scott O'Dell, Kastor & Pollux Troy, Blake Evans, Cannon Webb and countless others...he's firmly set the tone as being one of the most competitive talents CAW has to offer. Ryan's another one of my 2nd gen characters from the early 2000s. Originally created as pretty much a clone of Edge & Christian...he's long since evolved into a completely different character. Like Dylan, I didn't change anything aside from the layout of his attire, going with long sleeves instead of the elbow pad/wristband combo. His face texture is based on actor Charlie Hunman, and he's your classic speedster in the ring. Like Gabe, his moves are derivative of Simon's, swapping out the violence for more showy, flashier moves. The "Red King". The "Usurper". By any other name, Sean Trueth's evolution from being a bright eyed babyface to becoming one of the most feared strikers in wrestling has been a legend in itself. One of the 1st graduates of Dru Mercer's Monster's Den wrestling academy, Trueth has tons of upside...but failed to deliver. Within 4 years, he'd bowed out of wrestling. He'd travel to Japan to learn of his roots, being half Japanese...where he'd learn he's the grandson of one of Japan's most fearsome warriors, Masato Tennouji...the man who gave Simon Fierhart the moniker "Kichiku-Kan"... The Destroyer. For the next few years he'd train under his grandfather, learning the ways of his family's art "Hakai-Ken"...the Fist of Destroyer. In 2018, he'd return to wrestling a new man, and cut forth a swath of destruction in his wake. Fully embracing his warrior routes, Sean Trueth has set out on a path to earn the one title that matters most to him...the title he believes is his birthright. But in order to earn it, he has to face and defeat "The King In Black" himself. Trueth's character arc is one I've been evolving over the years, and it's soon coming full circle. When I redesigned Trueth to be a "boss level" character a few years ago, it was always my intention to eventually make him a rival of Simon's. Current day Sean is fixated with the notion that he is the true "Destroyer"...so that's naturally put him at odds with both Simon and the man Simon gave the moniker to himself...Ethan Bain. Sean's face texture is based off of actor Taylor Lautner, and his attire is pretty much the same as years past since I brought him back in 2018. In the ring, he's a vicious shooter using a plethora of martial art based offense. His goal is to hurt you...badly. And he does it with samurai-like precision. We round this update up with LITERALLY my newest creation...as I just finished her a day ago. Victoria Jackson, aka Vikki Jaxx...is part of the graduating class of "The Foundation" that produced Connavar and IcONYC. Vikki was a troubled young woman with no past, as she was abandoned as a infant and raised in NYC's foster system. Her penchant for fighting constantly landed her in trouble, and she was never able to find a real home until she was 17...a mere year before she aged out of the system. That home, would be the home of Latoya Jones, Jayson Jones' older sister. At the time, her new foster brother & sister Cleo & Prentice was attending their uncle's new wrestling school...and reluctantly Vikki began joining them. It's there that she fell in love with the process. In wrestling, she could find an outlet for the chaos that existed in her core. Over the next few years, she'd train and perfect her persona, which was heavily influenced by another who she'd come to know as her "uncle and aunt"...Evan Slade and Fiona Weinstein-Slade...aka Synergi. Finding her love for wrestling merged with her love for metal music...Victoria Jackson would soon become Vikki Jaxx, driven by an unwavering need to "Bring Chaos To Order". So yea, Vikki's heavily inspired by the character from Mass Effect 2 & 3 Jacqueline Voght...aka Jack. Saw the character and instantly fell in love. Jack is a heavily tattooed, chaotic, foul mouth, brooding badass...and conversely so is Vikki. I decided I would make her a babyface...pretty much the opposite of her tattooed contemporary Holly Woodz, with her other contemporary Perxephone riding the middle. Unlike her contemporaries...and other characters of this ilk...Vikki's not a brawler. In fact, she's quite technically sound. As a character, I've for big plans for her...which obviously ties into the long term plans I'm formulating for the 4th generation of characters I'm slowly developing. And that's it. All 8 characters are available for download on all platforms. You will need ALL available DLC packs for them. Tags are of course CAW23 and OZCAW. Next on the docket...the female characters I mentioned; Aimee LeBlanc Celeste Engelbrecht Lakoda Rose Shannon White Venera Kalashnikova
  11. Yea...I've been neck deep in Mass Effect legendary edition and the moment I saw the character Jack in ME2 I was like "yep, that's gonna be my next new female character". I LOVE the way she came out, though I'm not a fan of her hair. I wish some of the ponytails that the men have (namely Damien Priest's) where available for the ladies, as that would fit her a bit better. That being said, she came out better than I had anticipated. As far as JP goes, about a month ago I touched base with his creator on FB and asked his permission to breath life back into the character. He's a family man and runs a business now, so he's LONG since retired from CAW making. Seeing as the character Pyro and Jayson Jones have a long standing history and friendship, I felt it only fitting to bring him back into the fold. I made his look based on the very last version of Pyro ever made, which was from 2008 on the PS3. Obviously I aged him up appropriately, and gave him as close to his old moveset as I could seeing as the moveset system is COMPLETELY different than what it was in SVR08. But yea, they'll be uploaded today. Working on the preview stuff as I type this.
  12. I've got the fellas all complete, plus one "bonus" upload old schoolers will enjoy. The gals are on the docket for next week, and I'll be uploading the fellas over the weekend. Yes he is. An update version of Evan is on CC currently. To tide folks over, I've got a pair of matches done...one featuring a brand new character I JUST made within the last 18 hours, the other featuring the "bonus" male character I'll be making available.
  13. Speaking of Twyla, here she is in action against "The Abyssal Witch" to tide everyone over before the update. Things are moving along as I'm almost done with the fellas. I'm also including a "surprise" release that many of the old schoolers are going to appreciate. A character not seen on these forums for a very, verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry long time. A certified legend in the E-fed ranks.
  14. Found memories of the *censored*ery we did in XWA. Knuxx still owes Holly a date I hope you know...LOL. I've got 5 ladies and 5 guys in the lab for the next round of uploads; Aimee LeBlanc Celeste Engelbrecht Lakoda Rose Shannon White Venera Kalashnikova Dylan Brody Gabriel Dezba Lavar Justice Ryan Fierhart Sean Trueth That's the beauty of wrestling. You can be a face in one company, and heel in another. I like the idea of her being Tiffany's partner and bodyguard.
