Version History
| v1.0.2 | At long last the elusive Sumo gimmick has been cracked |
| v1.0.1 | With the old AtGig site going down, the permission list has been amended to reflect that the FAQ is no longer available on AtGig and is now on my new website, HRivers FAQs and Reviews. A txt version of this guide can also be found at HRivers. |
| v1.0.0 | A couple of known errors were fixed, and gimmicks that were accidentally missed out have been added. Sumo remains unknown, however. |
| v0.9.9 | The guide has been near enough finished and uploaded to PushySoft. It has also been submitted to GameFAQs and will hopefully be posted there, too. |

FAQ
Q. My worker has been involved in a 100% segment and he didn't get the unique gimmick. What's wrong?
A. I've heard of this happening a few times, though the exact reason for why it doesn't work still eludes me. In most cases the worker is a tweener (usually Raven). I haven't tested this, but it MAY be that tweeners just can't get the unique gimmick - if you turn them face/heel, get the gimmick and turn them back again, that's one way of getting around the problem.
Another possibility is that the person isn't the main focus of the segment. In interviews, the person who is doing the talking will get the unique gimmick - for tag team interviews, this is the person selected in the first box, and for interviews with a manager, it's the manager who'll get it.
Q. The mountie gimmick needs the worker to not be Canadian? But mounties ARE Canadian...surely that's a mistake?
A. It is a mistake, but not on my part. It is a coding error by Adam.
Q. You still haven't found out the sumo gimmick? Can't Adam tell you?
A. No, he can't. I've tried emailing Adam a couple of times during the creation of the FAQ, and although he gave me a few tips about his coding style that helped make my job that little bit easier, he couldn't help me in regards to any specific gimmicks. His computer with the EWR code went into storage in August 2003, sometime between the date when he finished EWR4.2 and the date when he joined .400 Software Studios. At the time when I sent the emails to him, he had spent so much time programming his TEW and WreSpi games that he could barely even remember EWR. He has admitted that there may have been a coding error, but there's no way for him to confirm that without access to the code.
Q. You say that this gimmick needs these requirements, but my worker meets these requirements and it says that the gimmick doesn't work. Why?
A. There are two possibilities. Although I have tested the gimmicks thoroughly, there is a chance that I have made a few mistakes when writing down my findings. If you believe this to be the case, then please email me and I can check for myself and amend the FAQ if needed. The other possibility is that you've had the gimmick on the worker for a long time and it is becoming "stale". This usually happens after 1-3 years. There's nothing you can do about it except change the gimmick to something else that does work.
Q. I'm being told that this worker's gimmick isn't working. What could I use that is similar to his real-life gimmick?
A. This is a pet hate of mine. You're playing a game that allows you loads of freedom in how to play it, you sign the likes of AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels to 5-year contracts for WWE and so on because they get so many 5* matchess (the odds of them moving to WWE seem very slim)...and you want your gimmicks to remain close to reality? Do yourself a favour and download my Gimmick Generator, which will show you all sorts of gimmicks that will work for that worker - you never know, it may give you some ideas.
Sticking to a worker's real-life gimmicks gives you a very small booking box to work in. For example, say you've got JBL. You've got lots of options for things similar to his real-life money-flashing gimmick (That 80s Guy, Rich Snob and so on), but what are you going to do if you choose to turn JBL heel? None of those gimmicks will work for a face character. Are you going to have him constantly switch between his "JBL" and "APA" Bradshaw gimmicks every time you switch his disposition? Step out of the box and use your imagination. Distance yourself from the shackles of reality. EWR will be a more enjoyable experience once you're capable of doing that.
Also, I no longer watch very much wrestling, so I'm not exactly up to date on what gimmick each wrestler is using, so I'm not in much of a position to tell you what gimmick would resemble the worker's current gimmick when I don't even know what that person's current gimmick is.
Help Wanted
As much as I tried, some gimmicks may not be 100% accurate, and in some cases I was unable to get them to work at all. If you find any mistakes or wish to add something that was missed out then please send the correct info to dalimyr@gawab.com
Thanks / Credits
Thanks go to the following people from the GameFAQs EWR board who helped me with this FAQ (in alphabetical order):
Legendary Sword, qpeedore, Styk
Eternal thanks go out to Legendary Sword for finding all of the requirements for that damned Sumo gimmick. It may have taken a year and a half, but someone has FINALLY managed to find the formula to get it working properly. I never would have guessed that only managers could use the Sumo gimmick, especially since Yokozuna was an active wrestler in WWF.
My thanks also go out to Adam Ryland, not only for creating the game in the first place, but also for the help that he was able to give me while I was writing this guide.
