A few new updates/edits/costumery in anticipation of actually running some shows again, sometime in early 2036:
Spiffy new referee shirts for ANCIENT GUS, BROWN SHOES, and REFEROTH, in the colors of the upcoming non-tour. Honestly, new referee shirts (as well as new ring aprons, ropes, corner pads, and a whole new canvas) were a completely unnecessary expense that we absolutely could not afford, but Murray went behind our backs on this one, and the man has no concept of money somehow.
New primary costume for BUFORD RANDALL, looking way more tactical in his Garfield Vanzetti "I Smashed Skip's Balls" shirt. Also, looking more blue, because he saw a YouTube video claiming that colloidal silver warded off the novel coronavirus, so he's back on that shit again.
And speaking of that family, here's BEAUDEYENE and BREIGHZEE VANZETTI, the Garfield and Patience's fraternal twin children. Beau is the most popular boy in the 9th grade, as well as the school bully and the Western Tri-State Area Under Eighteen Karate Champion, two things which may or may not be connected. Zee is already a varsity cheerleader, despite being a freshman, and her favorite pastimes involve spreading lurid false rumors about classmates and kleptomania.
Tensions run high in the STRUGGLE backstage area between the Vanzetti kids and fellow wrestler's kid Junior La Grange, mostly involving Beau hurling weight-related insults at Junior, followed by Junior calling his mom a slut, followed by threats of a karate-based ass-kicking, followed by an adult stepping in before anything happens. Of course, STRUGGLE Pro is a responsible organization, and would never sanction a grudge match between two minor children with a combined age of about 27. Or would we?
 Finally, MISTER WEI is the bodyguard and personal valet of local gazillionaire and aspiring wrestling champion Hapsburg Raytheon VI. (pronounced "vallet," because HR6 is racist against the French) He is a man of few words, except for when he's having to explain basic aspects of normal human life to his boss, like the existence of sandwiches and that poor people actually have to brush their own teeth and tie their own shoes. According to STRUGGLE tag team superstar and fellow professional bodyguard Big Winthorp, he is quite possibly the best in the world at what he does.

First of all, just got done uploading a bunch of moves, but I don't feel like going over them all, because I'm terribly lazy. GO HERE and see. Highlights include some more jobber moves, a couple of stupidly excessive indy dipshit moves, an updated version of Skip Legday's Upper-Body Muscle Buster, and a back grapple reversal knife-edge chop that I'm way too proud of.
Meanwhile, a couple of updated attires:
After having his nose broken by El Hijo Del big Bird Machine, PRESIDENT EVIL is going to at least temporarily be sporting a protective "hockey mask" look. Sadly, he could not return to action in time for spooky season.
 And in a tale that will be told in a future Invisible Backstage Camera segment, TACO BELLE has been given a new ring attire by her corporate overlords. It's a bit skimpy compared to her old attire, and as she sees herself as a kid-friendly wrestler, she's not very happy about this.
Meanwhile, hot damn, I'm seein' double! Four new PARTY TIGER shirts!

Those Unnecessary moves have activated some kind of workrate goblin in my head and now I’m trying to splice Solo Spanish Flys in places they ought not to be in, so that’s cool. Also more Jobber moves will be pretty useful and that Grenade Arm Slam is all the good kinds of nasty, I’m pretty tempted to ask if you put one of the sells from the backdrop in it, make it into some kind of extra saucy Burning Lariat

First of all, the arrival of the hottest free agent team in all of wrestling, a pair of mysterious revolutionaries known as THE OUTSIDE AGITATORS
COMRADE DIRECT ACTION is a crowd-pleasing high flyer who is definitely not Captain STRUGGLE with a hastily spray-painted mask
SKULL MAYDAY is a musclebound powerhouse who bears such a strong resemblance to Skip Legday that I bet they're at least third cousins or something.
Also, it appears as though there's something strange in the neighborhood, because the Tri-State Area's foremost paranormal investigators, THE SPOOKSMASHERS are here. (team name subject to change if I think of a better one)
DR. VINCE KLORTHO
DR. EVA SHANDOR
DR. HECTOR WON
DR. VIGO GOZERIAN
I'm not gonna lie, I haven't thought up backstories or anything for these guys, because the idea just popped in there.

I've never said 'Oh, God' in any more of a concerned tone than I had watching that video, and the crowd reaction's just perfect as well.

The last thing I need to be doing is making more wrestlers. So here's a few more wrestlers.
First, from the LEGENDS OF THE TRI-STATE AREA file, here's BRIAN GOAD.
A cruiserweight grappler active in the mid-1990s TSWA, Goad was an absolute technical marvel and a submission expert who could tie his opponents in knots, at least theoretically. In practice, he had tiny little baby arms and a sunken chest full of asthma, and a bigass bobble head held up by a pencil neck, and he usually got his ass handed to him as a result. Sweet satin jacket, though. He eventually decided his place was outside of the ring, and after buying a closet full of scientific speed-suits and shaving that awful skullet, he became one of the most legendary managers of the region (and current head of The Nebula Factory) Brain God, The Calculation Master.
And making their debut in STRUGGLE Pro, here's the As-of-Yet-Unnamed Irish Tag Team (this is a tentative name or the team, of course), consisting of PATRICK O'CONNELL AND ADEWALE O'KOYE
All the way from the Emerald Isle comes a new team hoping to hone their skills here in America. (Unless you don't live here, and then it's "there in America") Patrick is a mischievous little shit whose offense seems to consist largely of headbutts and nut shots, but has always been extremely popular, because I dunno, he's just a charming dude. Adewale is more of the (extremely) strong, silent type, and has been dogged for years by nasty rumors that he isn't actually from Ireland, and is, in fact, Scottish.
Across town in Extreme Wrestling XTREME, here comes CHARLES "LIL' CHUCKY" UNITY
EWX founder/owner/etc. Tony Unity's lil' cousin Charles has the heart and desire to be a true champion of the squared circle. Problem is, he's like 5'2", has an intense fear of getting hit in the face, and the EWX roster is mostly filled with blood-crazed savages. And Tony kinda doesn't like him. This will end poorly.
Also, I'm sure this isn't like a DOOTDOOTDOOT BREAKING NEWS thing, but I've been kinda toying with the idea of adding a lucha libre themed promotion to the world of the Tri-State Area, (which will probably manifest itself almost entirely of STRUGGLE appearances, the way GHW and EWX do, because I'm too lazy to actually maintain three e-feds) and here are some of the earliest additions to such a thing:
First, REINA SANDIA is pretty much finished, now with four costumes: regular, alternate, yellow meat, and BLACK DIAMOND. You can read about her earlier in the thread.
And here's veteran exotico EL ZAFIRO. (I found out after I named him that there's actually a luchadora named "Zafiro," but fuck you, this is EL Zafiro, screw you, I like the name, and I ain't changing it) He's a popular veteran of over 20 years who delights crowds with a largely ass-based offense. Everybody's got a plan until they get hit by a dude's ass. Despite his zany antics, he's actually kind of a bad mofo, with a decent-sized collection of other wrestlers' masks back at the house.
And here's the powerful rudo known as EL HIJO DEL BEATRIZ NEGRO. His mother was a modestly successful luchadora back in Mexico until she was impregnated during ill-advised tryst with a visiting American wrestler, journeyman Sam "Bam" Ballam, who denied any responsibility for the boy and went back home to Birmingham. (Way down in Alabam.) It was a rough life for the boy, who was dogged by rumors that he was both crazy and blind, and in time, he became a mean motherfucker, basically.
Finally, here comes EL WRANGLER, and he's one tough customer, and he's hard to beat when he takes his seat. And when he says "jeans," he wants Wranglers. Oooohooohhh Wraaaanglers.

The quest to bring lucha libre to the Tri-State Area proceeds apace:
EL SOVIETICO - He's a communist who insists that he's from Russia! He's literally too young to have ever set foot inside the Soviet Union!
SANTA CALIENTE - He's somehow both Santa Claus and sexy as all hell!
PEQUENA MAQUINA DE PAJAROS - She says she's the illegitimate daughter of Big Bird Machine! It's potentially scandalous!
And coming soon to STRUGGLE Pro, likely to turn the tag team scene on its head:
The terrifying duo hailing from Parts Unknown, Indiana: AX HAWK and ANIMAL SMASHER, aka ANNIHILATION - They dine on danger and snack on death!
Also, this isn't intended to be used as an arena itself, so much as a blank canvas for future customization:
THE NONDESCRIPT METAL BUILDING!
And speaking of metal buildings, construction is finally complete on the brand new HOSS DOJO!
This brand new training facility/wrestling venue includes such state-of-the art features as a dirt floor, an exercise bike, and a poster of Emmitt Smith for inspiration! Look for it just off the gravel road roughly three miles past the Walmart. (Not the new-ish Supercenter; the old one that closed down in '01 and got taken over by dope fiends and feral dogs)

Some updates in hairstyles, gear, etc., YEEEAAAHHH
 As part of her main event push, STORMY KNIGHT got some hair extensions, and attire #1 got darkened quite a bit. (I meant to make it an alternate attire, but accidentally saved and overrwrote the original, R.I.P. original dark gray gear) Also, somehow the added chest-based hair part I got from the wrkshop barely shows up in this screenshot, making it effectively pointless.
Similarly, VIRGINIA SLAMS got a similar treatment, and while it looks all screwed up on the double-bird pose, considering all the problems of two-part hair, it's still basically a miracle
 More hair extensions, this time for LORELEI GRIM, and it seemed to work way better for her
Keeping it in the family, JEZEBEL GRIM got a whole-ass makeover, including further rebelling against her hillbilly roots by adding a costume with actual professional wrestling gear.
Also, I realized that her and Jezebel had semi-identical hair now, so the still yet-to-officially-debut LEANNE CRIMES got new hair. Also, the SLAMMED STRAIGHT! gang has their logo on their backs now, but I forgot to take screen shots.
 also in the New Haircut Club is TOSHIYO NAKANO, mainly because I realized her original one left a hole in her forehead. Oops.
 She also got new street fight gear, along with a few others, including -
YUMIKO LA GRANGE
and CRAWDAD HOSHINO, who doesn't really understand how this is supposed to work.
And I really need to tweak the S, but PITBULL VAN SCORPIO finally got a decent-ish shirt, and he needs the money now that Screaming Rage Man damn near crippled him.
HAPSBURG RAYTHEON VI got some new entrance gear, with princely robes in three different colors, although I only screenshotted one.
 New Alternate attire for PRESIDENT EVIL, 'cause he's back, yeah he's back, well he's back, he's back in black, yes he's back in black.
 PEQUENA MAQUINA DE PAJAROS got a major update, as the original was just too damn plain and unfinished looking.
and thanks to an infusion of cash from Big Bird Machine, ACE LA GRANGE is back in actual wrestling gear for the first time since he sold his old stuff to some pervert for money to buy muscle relaxers
This isn't everybody, but a few other new looks are seeeeecret, and will be revealed at a later date.

You know, I probably need to hurry and put together all the pre-recorded stuff I need to do for the next show, but screw that, MORE NEW PEOPLE, with a focus on the ever-growing clan of hillbillies that is the Grim Family, possibly someday leading to a reopening of Grim Holler Wrasslin'. First, for the LEGENDS OF THE TRI-STATE AREA file, MARCEL "BIG DADDY" GRIM The original patriarch of the Grim Family and arguably the first major money draw in the history of Tri-State Area wrestling mainly due to his massive size (6'9" and usually hovering around between 450 and 600 pounds), Big Daddy was the region's biggest star of the 1960s. He used the small fortune he amassed as a wrestler to purchase a whole shitload of land out in Grim Holler, mainly because it had the same name he did, meaning it was probably some sort of destiny thing. It worked out well, as he started a successful hog farm and raised him a whole mess of young'uns, including sons Clovis and Marcel Jr., known to wrestling fans worldwide as Slim Grim and Hillbilly Grim, The Scufflin' Grims. Sadly, he passed away in 1995, but considering that we was like 600 goddamn pounds, I'd say he had a good run.
And back in modern times, a whole mess of Grim Family Cousins. COUSIN BIG BEN GRIM - The shortest male member of the family at a mere 6'1", Ben makes up for it in muscle mass, focusing more on bodybuilding than the traditional family carer path of pro wrestling. He has dabbled occasionally though, and it's been a mixed bag, as while he's immensely strong, he has the speed and agility of a sectional sofa that's been bolted down to prevent theft. Due to his name, Junior Grim occasionally refers to him as "the everlovin' blue-eyed Thing," but the Fantastic Four were never very big in Grim Holler (they're more of a D.C. family) so it mostly just gets some confused looks, followed by Lorelei "whispering" the phrase "IT'S OKAY, SHE'S ON THE SPECTRUM" loud enough to be heard from two rooms away.
 COUSIN CLAUDE GRIM - One of the more unusual members of the family, he seems less interested in hootin', hollerin', and shitkickin' than in moping around and listening to the Cure. The boy even dyed his overalls black for chrissakes, it's a damn shame. A bit of a loner, but has tried to form some sort of connection with some of the less-hillbillyish Holler residents, like neighbor Lil' Snooks Tutwiler and cousin Jezebel Grim, and while they try to humor him, Snooks considers him to be a poser and Jezebel just thinks he's a pussy. Has shown little interest so far in a wrestling career, but is a really big fan of STRUGGLE's Team Twizzy.
 COUSIN MIKI GRIM - The daughter of Slim Grim from his first marriage back when he was wrestling for Olive Japan, Miki has actually followed in her father's footsteps as a full-time pro wrestler, freelancing mainly with all-female promotions such as Sapplinnnngggg, Fire Belt, and All-Star Wrestling Notoriety, where she stands out thanks to her penchant for bib overalls and being like a whole head taller than everyone else there. A tour of the U.S. seems inevitable, due to her family history, Tri-State Area wrestling connections, and relatively strong grasp of the English language, all things considered. (She self-taught by listening to her dad's old records of Grand Ole Opry comedian Jerry Clower, and while she's pretty understandable overall, she has a tendency to refer to her overalls as "overhauls," pronounces the word "yacht" as "yatchet," and views opossums mainly as a potential food source.)
 COUSIN OINK GRIM - One of the more unusual members of the Grim clan, Oink... Well... He legit thinks he's a pig, as far as anyone can tell. He "speaks" mainly in grunts, snorts, and squeals, he'll eat pretty much anything, and he's irritable and ornery as all hell. It's completely bizarre, but when you add that he still does things like driving cars, using computers, and brushing his teeth despite his apparent pig delusion, it's even weirder. Does he think he's some sort of anthropomorphic cartoon pig? Who knows. Will he ever move out of his mom's house? Almost certainly not.
