Name: Keyu
Status: Uploaded

Overall: 86
Finisher:  Bullet Biter(Kamigoye)
Information: Cocky, foul-mouthed, heavyweight brawler/striker. Wears down opponents with hard strikes and cheap shots before dropping them on their heads or going for a knockout blow.  Inspired by Stone Cold, KENTA, Kawada, Shibata, Muay Thai/Bokator. Recently incorporated powerhouse elements and added a bunch of uranages, and rough looking suplexes. Not a technical marvel by any means, I purposefully choose moves that look simple to do and also look kinda unsafe lmao. Chimera is a Fight Team/Training Club/Wrestling School type of faction, I'll probably release a bunch of the logos if people want to make some big faction in their game with their CAWs too.

Name: "The Game Changer" Caleb Rivera
Status: Uploaded

Overall: 84
Finisher: Game Changer (Revolution Knee)
Information: Young talent with a lot of promise but lacking in actual match and life experience. After being turned on by his tag partner(who I might end up making, IDK yet) and manager he's currently finding more of his killer instinct as "The Game Changer". Less high of a high flyer than he used to be he still wows fan with his fast paced match style. Trying to do a bit of an "Ospreay becoming a heavyweight" type thing with him, still lots of impressive flying moves but a more grounded and serious style than before. I also wanted his finisher and nickname to be The Game Changer because of Okada and the Rainmaker lmao

Name: Alyx Avery
Status: Uploaded

Overall: 82
Finisher:  Diving Foot Stomp
Information:  Indie prospect with a lot of promise. Fan favorite for her optimism and attitude as well as some outstanding underdog performances but her career so far has been marked by a lot of big match losses. Joining Chimera has helped her find some of her killer instinct, and more success in the ring. Personality wise still super positive/cheery even after joining the mainly heel Chimera. I think having a pure babyface faction member annoying heel members with their optimism sounds hilarious. Not the biggest competitor but she'll throw 100%(and 100% of her bodyweight) at you. Kick heavy moveset with lots of sentons, arm targeting moves and some armbars thrown in.

Her face picture is the most up to date picture. Attire pics are from before I did the most recent face morphing stuff, to lazy to re-do that picture lmao. Most of my CAWs might look slightly different by the time I upload them because I mess with them all the time

More stuff I've been working on. None are uploaded. I'm still tweaking faces as I go, I slammed some of these out pretty quick and didn't go in depth in face morphing like the Keyu, Alyx and Caleb. Still need to do movesets and I'm also waiting to see if we get a patch to possibly fix the Champion entrance thing because it's pretty dumb.

Name: Brennan Blade
Overall: 81
Status: Uploaded

Finisher: Blade Buster (Air Raid Crash)
Information: Baron Blade's nephew who's found a lot of success through his uncle's connections and through his own talent in equal measure. Athletic high flying heel. Proficient with superkicks and moonsaults, moveset is very PWG/Indie inspired. Still a WIP. Gonna find a new tattoo or two to replace a couple I used last year

Name: "Chosen One" Chris Hawthorne
Status: Uploaded

Overall: 85
Finisher: Royal Decree (Fireman's Carry Side Slam)
Information: Heir to a prestigious wrestling family. Wrestling style is more of a throwback/traditional North American style wrestler. Standard suplexes, body slams, irish whip back body drops, etc. Became an arrogant heel after he got a big contract with WWE/NXT. Headcanon'd that he did a ROH Summer of Punk type thing. Still working on the face to make him looks less "Default Template"-ish.
EDIT: Leaving these pics up. New pics with updated face and body in a later post. New Chis Hawthorne ate the old one. Made him more of a powerhouse

Name: Carrie Hawthorne
Status: Uploaded

Overall: 83
Finisher: Fleur-de-Lis(Reverse STO DDT)
Information: An heir to the same prestigious wrestling family. She is Chris Hawthorne's more level-headed younger sister. Technical/submission based wrestler, very by the books and by the rules type of wrestler. Mainly made her to use in MyRise because of the whole legacy storyline thing

 

ebtiH5h.png
Name: Local Talent
Status: Uploaded

Overall: 34
Finisher: Superkick. Diving Cross Body
Information: My jobber wrestler I haven't made in a while. All stats are minimum except for strength which I bumped up a decent amount so that they can slam most wrestlers. Supposed to be at least somewhat athletic since they made it to the Performance Center but they are very inexperienced in ring. I went through and gave him the most basic moveset I possibly could. Two costumes but it's the same character.

Keyu, Alyx Avery, Brennan Blade, Caleb Rivera, and Local Talent have been uploaded to Community Creations!

As always you can find my CAWs with the tag: iamkeyu
Also if anyone downloads Keyu can you please tell me what his entrance video is? I'm using a custom video I made so I don't know what it uploads with.

Got you and caleb Rivera returning for WWA. I'm excited. Thanks for your work 

Appreciate it! Yeah the shirt design was really fun to make. Excited to see how WWA looks this year. Tons of really fun episodes in 2K22

These are some awesome Caws! Hope to see more!

Thank you very much! I'm definitely trying to make a good amount this year

Really solid work; Think Hawthorne might be my favorite, for the trunk design alone.

Definitely appreciate that coming from you. Been a fan of your stuff since 2K16ish on the 2K forums(RIP)

 

Onto some new stuff: The Hawthorne siblings have been uploaded
Updated Chris Hawthorne to look more like a heavyweight and changed his face morphing to look less like the default template

Still a WIP, not completely happy with the face yet and still messing around with the hair and eye colors.

Also I'll be trying to edit posts often to make it easier to know who's been uploaded or not, update some pictures and maybe shrink them because I know there's a lot of big ass pictures in this thread lmao

Rebooting a CAW I used to make, I guess moreso a completely different CAW with an old CAW's gimmick lol

Signature: Rabbit's Foot (Corner Big Boot), Salem Scythe (Scottish Sickle)
Finisher: Witching Hour (Dragon Sleeper w/ body scissor)
Overall: 84
Information: Predatory technician who enjoys mind games and likes to prey on opponent's superstitions prior to matches to gain an advantage in the ring. Flips a coin prior to the match to see if she'll let go of the submission or not if the opponent taps. 
Changed up the design a lot from the 2K16-2K19 iteration, also when in doubt, add anime tattoos lmaooo. 

EDIT: Renamed Moira to Dahlia same gimmick different person so a name change is warranted, also changed up the pics to the most recent after new face morphing and stuff and edited the info

Great stuff as always.

Thank you! Always appreciate the kind words. Also if anyone downloads any of my CAWs, I'd love some feedback on movesets too. Trying to balance fun with realistic and cohesive, would love to know how I'm doing in that area.

Definitely going to bring back CAWs I uploaded last year like Kid Calavera and Cuerno and I'm going to bring back some even older legacy CAWs like Sterling Duval who I last made like 4 years ago and was one of my most popular CAWs since 2K16. Very curious to see how much he's gonna change from his most recent appearance in 2K19, he'll probably be my next project.

But for now, probably gonna take a break and play some other stuff for a while lmaooo

Dahlia is awesome. Love that while look

Appreciate it! She was really fun to make

 

Also when I said I was gonna take a break from the game?

I LIED! But for real though I got to the snow areas in Elden Ring on my newest character and lost the will to continue, IYKYK lmao

Also some of the arenas I want are locked behind the male MyRise and I looked up some of the story beats and decided to cook up a CAW for it.

Name: "Dragonfly" Jin Kamiya
Status: Uploaded
Signature: Tonbo-Giri (Torpedo Moscow)
Finisher: Dragonfly Drop (Stormbreaker) Dragonfly Lock(Cattle Mutilation)
Overall: 84
Information: Original Japanese wrestler. He used to be super fast paced but slowed down into a more submission oriented style after a knee injury and from putting on a bunch of muscle and wanting to "graduate" from Jr. Heavweight into a Heavyweight. Still occasionally uses high flying moves but I toned them down in his AI sliders. Fairly standard puroresu moveset for the most part but has traces of some of my favorite Jr. Heavyweights from when I was big into NOAH and NJPW

Jobbers need love, too.  HAHA

The "Can She Kick It" shirt gave me an idea for a CAW.  Thanks.

Curious to see what you cook up! Also speaking of jobbers, your job squad CAWs were some of my favorite in 2K22, amazing shirt design too.

 

I was working on Sterling Duval but my game crashed twice making him so I'm putting him on hold. Currently working on my original tag team, The Storm Riders

Name: "Lightning" Liam West and "Cyclone" Casey Jakobs
Status: Uploaded

Overalls: 83(LW)/80(CJ)
Finisher: Lightning Cutter(TKO)[LW], Cyclonic Crush(Spiral Tap)[CJ]
Information: Casey Jakobs is an alt/punk high flying cruiserweight vet on the indie wrestling scene who wants to help grow the local wrestling scene. Liam West is fairly clean cut inexperienced wrestler with a lot of natural athleticism whose biggest goal is to get a PC tryout and "make it into the big leagues". They butt heads a lot but found out that they made a very effective team in-ring. I'm going to have to look through the tag team finishers to see if I can find one that fits them but I honestly rarely ever play normal tag team matches in these games. 

Also finally started both resizing my images and saving them as JPEGs lmao. I was lazy and just cropping images straight from my PS5 and saving them as PNGs because that's what my editing program defaults to.

Glad to hear that.  I rarely got feedback on my CAWs but those 3 Jobbers got downloaded the most.  I will recreate them soon.  I just can't get my faces to look similar in 2K23 so my CAWs are going to look a bit off.  I got Hardcore Johnny looking close with better attire.

Nearly done with The Storm Riders. Both tag team and singles attires, trying something new with pictures, also the in-ring highlight reel has a weird glow effect going on when you're close with the camera for whatever reason

Changed some colors around. I was trying to avoid Black/White/Gold for Liam West but I couldn't find any other combination I was happy with lmao. I'll take a look with fresh eyes in the morning, make some final passes(I see Casey Jakob's one kneepad logo looks kinda wonky lol) and will probably have them uploaded sometime later in the day. 

EDIT: UPLOADED

Think I might work on arenas/shows next and try to bring these back from 2K22. Haven't tried my hand at it yet in 2K23 since I heard there were issues with the logos on turnbuckle pads. I'll have to see if that got fixed or not with the most recent patch

I think my goal is for at least one CAW for each MyRise/MyCareer promotion
Got CAWs for BCW, LAW, and PWJ but I might make more if inspiration strikes. CAWs for Lucha Libre Magica, Club UK, and Joshi Japan are probably what I cook up after I play around with arenas

Latest patch still didn't fix Create an Arena so Ring Of Fire and GRPL are on hold for now

Name: Carl Johnson and Bill Smith
Status: Uploaded

Overalls: 79
Finisher: Running Splash (Johnson), Stunner(Smith)
Information: They're neighbors who used to tailgate outside the local promotion that runs shows at the school their kids attend and one day said "Hey, I can do that!". I was calling them the Weekend Warriors but now I'm calling them Dad Strong. Very old school/basic wrestling style with Carl being more of a powerhouse and Bill being more of a brawler

Tried to make them a bit distinct from one another moveset wise. Carl is more of a powerhouse and likes to throw his weight around, Bill is more of a brawler. Bill is a huge Stone Cold fan so I gave him The World's Worst Stunner/Vince McMahon Stunner as a finisher lmao. After the shows they tend to grill/provide catering for the other wrestlers so I made secondary attires for them, moreso for manager type stuff but I thought it'd be funny for in-ring stuff too.

Kid Calavera is almost done, mainly haven't felt like doing another moveset, he'll probably be uploaded sometime tomorrow

"Dad Strong" is wild af. I love it

Appreciate it! They were fun to make and a fun concept to explore. Also zero custom logos which is nice lmao

You are really killing these designs man. Already got Alyx Avery and Caleb Riveria, probably gonna get blade soon!

Thank you! Hope you have fun with them. Tried to give them pretty focused/"realistic" movesets.

im glad you are back man great job. I will for sure be using some of your new caws

Thank you! Really excited to see what you cook up for BPW season 6!

 

 

Imma give GRPL and Ring of Fire another look at after the next patch if they fix the stuff with the turnbuckle pad logos. I think they posted something about that being fixed in the next one
