Hugh G. Rection released! Grab it from the first post.
Just when you think he's not gonna pop up this year, my Hugh G. Rection emerges once more! This time - I updated the skin textures, fixed some t-shirt glitches, and upgraded the hair to a more realistic and animated model. I'll work on the regular Hugh Morris next.

Now that I finished my General update, here's a more general update.
As always, I'm still interested in expanding the available WCW universe, with the hopes of turning it into a bigger mod project down the road. I'm painfully waiting to hear about the roster, DLC, and new features in 2K20.
Glad that the Hulkster is coming back to the roster - but otherwise I don't have a great feeling for WCW characters and arenas. They keep upping the NXT and women's rosters - which is cool - except that it seems to be coming at the expense of legends content. Realistically, if we get any new WCW alumni added, my logical top contenders would be: Eric Bischoff, Shane Helms (as The Hurricane), or Jeff Jarrett because they all work backstage now. Another long shot would be Torrie Wilson - since she went into the Hall of Fame. Obviously, guys like Chris Jericho, Dustin Rhodes, and Arn Anderson aren't coming back. In fact, I can see them downplaying WCW assets because people might relate them with Turner/AEW. If Flair keeps suing them I can see him not being in 2K21 next year - which would effectively tear the heart out of a WCW universe. I hope I'm wrong but we'll see.
My real big dream is to collect as many WCW characters/arenas/renders/etc. from any modder willing to contribute, redesign all of the menus, and release what would effectively be a new WCW game. But this has been my goal for several games now, and I'm still working on roster conversion work, so we'll see. However far I get, I suspect that this will ultimately end in either 2K19 or 2K20. At minimum, as part of this bigger project, I do plan to port my previous mods forward.
Which takes us, once again, to Survey Time. Curious as to what others are thinking about my ideas and 2K20 in general.
