VWA CAW Showcase

[ratedrkaze]

I really want this topic to focus on my creations you'll see in the VWA Wrestling shows and PPV's, and not on the league itself.

So I decided to get this started with Christopher Hughes, my main CAW that I've been creating since SVR2007 came out. Back then he was known as Christopher Idol, but he started to compete in 2009 under his real name, in order to become more reliable. Always have been a fan favourite among the crowd. He would be what we call an hardcore wrestler, wearing a pair of black shorts to wrestle and wearing a black jacket and an cap during his in-ring entrance. In 2009, he became more focused, leaving his brawler background aside replaced by a background of technical and submission specialist moves.

The most remarkable feud in his career might have been with Adrian Radcliffe, who still competes on our active roster. Hughes is a very accomplished wrestler, being awarded by several VCW and VWA World Heavyweight Championships, VCW Hardcore Championships, Tag Team, and the list goes on.

You're free to comment and criticize. Might take some in-game pictures. More CAWs will be showcased on the next few days. Stay tuned!

*The CAWs you will be seeing here won't be avaiable for download nor their formulas will be released. These are exclusively for the use of Virtual Wrestling Association.*

You know, normally I'd say that the tattoos don't fit his overall look, but when I've seen a biker in a bar with a teddy bear on his forearm, I just don't question who gets what kind of tattoo. lol I really do like the tattoo work on him though, must have taken a lot of time. o.o

Thank you, Bou. I always wanted Christopher Hughes to have full arm tattoos, and these were the best I could find. Never saw him as a "biker", but now that you said that, it makes me wonder. lol

Not sure if you've ever heard of something called the Paint Tool Hack. What I did here was I found two arm tattoo pics, made them 256x256 and converted them to 8-bit. Then I've imported them to the game through a flash drive. Of course I've missed some steps, but if you're interested, you can check it out on the VWA forums, as I've posted the tutorial over there: vwawrestling.b1.jcink.com/index.php?showtopic=14 So that was really quick for me to do. The PT Hack really improved my way to create CAWs IMO.

Sorry for the delay. I've been really concerned about my personal life lately. However, here are some Christopher Hughes in-game shots:

For the next CAW to be showcased I've picked Jack Welbeck. I always wanted to create a character with a large physique yet athletic. I've pictured Welbeck while I was bored during History classes, and I think I came up with a decent character to be honest. That means the first time I've created him was on SVR2010. Graduated at the Manchester College Athletics, Jack Welbeck has a large amateur wrestling background, combined with athleticism and roughness. Considered as a future number one contender for the company major titles, he might have a brilliant career down the road.

Ring name(s): Jack Welbeck

Born: December 27, 1977 (1977-12-27) (age 32)

Might start posting entrances and finishers as well.
