What consoles?
Early Access PC (7/10/2017) and PS4 (2018)

How many wrestlers can you make?
On PC, as many as you can fit on your HD.

I don't like making wrestlers. Should I get this?
Yea! You can download them from the Steam Workshop. Super easy! I believe you can download wrestlers, refs, rings, and title belts.

Edit head list with pictures.

PA Community Steam Workshop

[Below are links to pages of created wrestlers/refs from our very own PA community members. If you have a workshop page, send me the link and I will post in here!]

Gonna be PS4 version for me

Looks like I'm in for a wait

redfield85 · July 2017

I'm hoping that you guys can pull from the Steam Workshop somehow for created wrestlers. And at least you won't have to go through the growing pains like we will with making guys. They will still be adding more and more during early access, so it seems like we won't even have all the stuff available to us.

I plan to stream tomorrow somewhere around 7-10 or so if anyone wants to stop by. I'll probably just be fiddling with making guys and maybe people I've made in Returns. I need me Nemesis, Tyrant, and Man-Spider (Spider-Man).

edit: So, the game won't be out tomorrow until 10am Japan time soooo like 8 or 9pm for me. GRRRR.

David_T · July 2017

There's workshop support for created wrestlers and limitless amount of edit slots, so... I'm very excited.

redfield85 · July 2017

9pm tonight I'm gonna attempt a stream for a few hours. I think we have to play tutorial and missions to unlock more stuff? I might try to trick through half of that and then work on an edit or two.

David_T · July 2017

Steam is saying one hour until unlock.

Come on.

BigDaddyDowd · July 2017

I've been waiting all day for this. Steam is a dirty dirty tease.

David_T · July 2017

Apparently Spike twitter is saying 6 PM pacific, so another hour and a half, even if Steam is saying "less than an hour".

BigDaddyDowd · July 2017

David, you have been a bearer of bad news.

MyNameIsWalrus · July 2017

The game is out, just finished installing!

BigDaddyDowd · July 2017

Looks and feels just like the old Fire Pros. Cant Wait for people to start getting the created wrestlers out. Right now the roster is really small.

LockedOnTarget · July 2017

They didn't fix the biggest problem I had with the previous games: women look like shit.

It's basically impossible to make any female wrestler that's not a stocky beefy type. No way to make a good, say, Alexa Bliss or Sasha Banks or Becky Lynch. The small amount of woman faces are not good, either.

Sigh. Hopefully we get some mods that help it.

Azraith · July 2017

The created wrestler workshop is already is on it's 4th page, and the most important wrestler is already on it soooooo....

Plus I suppose this guy is in it too...

redfield85 · July 2017

Ok. Soooo I didn't stream last night. I wound up having Returns on one screen, World on another, and the nL stream on my iPad as I attempted to copy over an edit or two from my PS2 save. Partial results:

Nemesis (Resident Evil), Man-Spider (Spider-man), and Smoke (Mortal Kombat 3).

The ability to use 9 layers for individual parts is working out real well. The more I use this, the more creative I can get with edits now.

Kinderparty · July 2017

This is the best time of my life

redfield85 · July 2017

I don't even know if that is a real wrestler or not but now I want wrestlers in underwear.

As I main Arthur from Ghouls and Ghosts in Marvel vs Capcom 3, I tried my best rendition of "strawberry boxers, but still here for business".

David_T · July 2017

So here's the four first wrestlers I made (I downloaded AJ, Owens, Nakamura and Seth Rollins):

The Undertaker
Road Warrior Hawk
Road Warrior Animal
Neville

I'm not even a Road Warriors fan, really. I have no idea why I decided to go with them. Also there's no good Hawk face paint, very disappointing.

redfield85 · July 2017

I feel that Owens is the main one that was out yesterday, I was not impressed with it.

I think for the most part I'll download real life wrestlers, but I'm 100% creating every cartoon, gaming, pop culture, super hero I use. For the most part.

I'm not gonna upload stuff until I'm 99% satisfied with them. Moves, AI, the works.

David_T · July 2017

Yeah, I mostly downloaded just to have someone. I don't think I'll download any more until they've spent a couple of weeks in the court of public opinion. Sort the wheat from the chaff.

BigDaddyDowd · July 2017

Yea, the Kevin Owens on the workshop leaves alot to be desired.

David_T · July 2017

First time in a long time I've delved into the logic side of Fire Pro. Updated my Undertaker. Also helped that I've gone through most of the mission mode, so a few more edit points to go around.

Zellpher · July 2017

So with online, how do I actually um...play?

I have it set to player player but I can't ever control my guy.

redfield85 · July 2017

Make sure it is set to player and not CPU next to whatever character you pick? Not sure what else there is for options online.

I know it has issues right now though so growing paaaaaains. I heard people swapping and playing as their opponent or even just it being an AI taking over. Desynchs seem to be a thing with created guys right now.

David_T · July 2017

Oh, apparently there's a bug with the workshop where you only download the first costume of a CAW and not all of them. That's annoying.

redfield85 · July 2017

Yea. I'm sure that will be a quick fix though. Hopefully.

mojojoeo · July 2017

So.

We all make AI characters. We have a tornament. We maker a champion. All live on twitch.

We drink and enjoy PPVs.

Is this the worst idea?

mojojoeo · July 2017

Live commentary on twitch. booze for days.

The Penny Arcade Forums annual round robin tournament.

The P1 Climax Tournament

redfield85 · July 2017

I'm in! You can spectate matches that other people sim online, right? Or just if you are involved?

Are Gabe and Tycho (and other PA characters) the refs? I made a Gabe and Tycho in Returns. Ha.

So, we are going to the fiance's old college this weekend but she is doing stuff because she is on a board or whatever. I am gonna have a bunch of alone time at the hotel, so I am bringing my PC. All. The. Edits.

Ketar · July 2017

How is it that Scotty 2 Hotty and Rikishi are both available in the Workshop already, but Grandmaster Sexay is not??!

How is there a Crash Bandicoot but not Crash Holly?? Or Bob or Molly Holly for that matter.

Thank goodness there's three different versions of Cody Rhodes already though.

i dont know about all that but its SPLENDID that BRO-KEN Matt Hardy is Available, rendering the entire steam workshop OBSOLETE.

redfield85 · July 2017

I haven't uploaded anything yet, but I make non-wrestler edits more than real people. PREPARE FOR MORE NON-WRESTLERS.

Crash and Molly certainly need to get represented. As for Bob, maybe there isn't a way to make an FPW character racist enough and feature the Alabama Slam.

On the Cody front, is there a Stardust variant yet?

David_T · July 2017

I really want there to be more asymmetrical options. I uploaded a Sasha Banks that was loosely inspired by her WM33 outfit but all her outfits are basically left half one color, right half another color.

Though in general I want more outfit options. Especially the chest options are lacking in variety.

redfield85 · July 2017

Yea, multi color options need to be implemented.

I've actually started my own list of things I want/need to be updated. I'll post it in like 10 spots so they hopefully catch it one day during EA.

Goose! · July 2017

I want this, oh yes.

Alistair Hutton · July 2017

So, errrr, how do I play a match against the computer? PC with an Xbox 360 controller, I can only setup computer vs computer matches.

David_T · July 2017

Press left twice on the match setup screen. The "CPU" tag should light up, press a button and you should be able to change from CPU to 1P.

Edit: "A button" is where my memory of what button on an Xbox controller maps to the X button on a PS4 controller failed me.

Maybe his return as Brian Christopher during the Lawler/Cole feud was so horrendous, it soured people on creating him
