[MOMO]

Well, I'm setting up my game for the 2k88 mod by @JManny when it releases, and there's plenty of old-school male wrestler CCs & Mods out there, but women wrestlers... not so much, so I decided to start making them.

Thanks @MOMO, what a great idea.

Some many needed RETRO caws for PC to go with the unbelievable roster by  @matt2282p, and the other great modders here. I love it.

If I knew how (still don't, lol), I'd probably make mod versions using 3DS Max. Fortunately, a lot of their outfits can be made in the game itself, even a lot of the gimmicks like Princess Victoria & Leilani Kai can be made. The one downfall is that some things (Using Leilani Kai as an example again - Her straw arm/shoulder pieces) aren't possible that way. I love old-school, raw, bareboned wrestling though, and find it an enigma that there's a lot of footage, but barely any pictures or information on the ladies from back in the day - Can't even find pictures of the 50s-late 80s womens titles. The idea came when I saw the Miss Elizabeth mod by @matt2282p though, and figured it'd be a unique realm of wrestlers to work on.

Found some. They are shit quality.

Thank you for that, but I actually have pctures of the 80s blue title, and baby blue title, I'll add it them to this post soon, the blue title needs some quality control work on the plates, the baby blue one is clean though, just needs to be cut out.

 

Edit:: Added the 84-85 Ladies Championship. @JManny 😛

Another belt added to the OP, this one is the 1961-1991 AWA World Womens Championship, which also acted as the AWA Light Heavyweight Championship, the only difference being when the women used it, they removed the "Light Heavyweight" plate from the top:

Batch #1 pictured in full in the OP now. Going to do movesets over the next week & release them all at once, before moving on to the second set.

 

 Going to do movesets over the next week & release them all at once, before moving on to the second set. One thing I should note - Girls from this era had limited movesets for the most part, using few moves inside the ring compared to now a days, so a lot of girls will have repeating moves. You'll also end up seeing some moves that are used by almost every girl of this era, such as the mat slam, alas, all the movesets will be unique still, all girls did have their few moves signature to them, and ofc, all had proper signature & finishers. It'll make it hard to get a 5* match playing with these girls overall though, which, in a way, wasn't far from the reality of the times. Also, I'll give Cyndi Lauper her own limited shoot-style moveset since she was just a manager and never wrestled... just because... why not?

[MOMO]

Sorry I haven't released any of these yet, haven't forgot, but I've been killing my body lately - intense & grueling physical training in preparation of going back in to a physical activity within the next year or two... (Pretty much, I'm a 6'4", 135 pound guy and atm, I'm wearing around more than my body weight - a 110 pound vest, 10 pounds on each arm and leg from the time I wake up until I sleep, thats how I train, no half assing it. I refuse the easy route & I refuse modern day suppliments, rather I train like someone from the late 1800s-early 1900s, only difference being I'll use modern stuff I have access to like weight vests & wrist/ankle weights) My body'll go numb soon, after that it'll get to the point where I'm too sore to move for a few days and lay around, watching the matches of these girls, so I can get these done... Just wanted to leave an update.

It's not a race @MOMO. No rush to release them,

I've got at least a few weeks left until I'm done.

Focus on getting healthy, do bits when you can. The 1980's ain't going anywhere.

I know there's not a rush, I'm just one of those completionists that stays busy & hates leaving projects in the dark when I intend on finishing them(even if I do get off track & forgetful sometimes) @JManny. - Decided I wanted to use my previous martial arts experience to take a shot at wrestling, even if its just learning & training, even if I'm starting later than I should have. Also considered boxing or MMA, but wrestling is & always was my first love, sure you guys here understand that though. 😛 There's two wrestling training academies near by though, one in Rochester, one in Lackawanna (suburb of Buffalo), so I figured I'd take half a year to a year to make sure I'm prepped for a tryout. Was gonna just go do it, then I realized I let myself sit too long without working on my craft - could barely roundhouse at head level anymore(figured that out in the past week, and it bothers me). I don't expect to get these all done at once, probably 2 at a time. That way I can pick apart multiple matches between the same two girls in like a T-chart with the moves of one on one side, the other on the other. First batch should be done in a few weeks though, around the time your mod releases.
