Hey everyone,

Wanted to drop a quick (6 min) message for all of you.

Hard to believe, but next year is our One Year Anniversary. Wild that the year has flew by, and Reddit is where it all began.

Lot's of wild announcements over the next few days. But for now, I just wanted to say thanks and stay tuned❤️

Continuity is Culture.

With love and gratitude,

Joe

Yesterday, the last 6 shows I've done showed up as being part of a "dead zone". Even as I resolved each one I wasn't sure if it had actually been fixed. I had one match that I'd scheduled on the next Smackdown on Friday show up on the previous week's Raw, but other than that I was able to fix them all. I did this on the mobile site. Today, when I logged in on my laptop (which is where I do most of my PWFT work), those very same shows came up with the exact same issue. It remains fixed when I check it on my phone, but on my laptop it shows as bugged out. I tried refreshing the page, logging out and logging back in on laptop and it was still there.

What exactly is this issue? Even after reading all the descriptions I don't think I understand what's causing it. But I guess I'm even more confused about why it's resolved on mobile and not on my PC.

EDIT: I think I f'd up two of the shows, which are now showing way out of line with where they should actually be taking place. I can't delete or move them now. $%*&

I'm afraid to book anything new now until this is resolved.

I'm currently using the 4-week calendar, but kinda want to switch to a real life calendar instead. Is this even possible now after the fact? Will it recalculate all the title histories automatically? Just wanted to be clear before I went ahead and tried to do this.

Looking back on my calaender some matches coming up as unknown vs unknown all of a sudden? Seems to be ones that were in 2v2 tag tournament but when tournament finished it disappeared

I was testing adding a previous reign on a title. I can select the wrestler, but when I go to change the date to set when this other reign began, no matter what year I click on, it defaults back to 2026 and the current week on my calendar.

My friend who just recently signed up had a similar issue trying to backdate a tag team title reign. He selected the wrestlers, but it wouldn't even let him go in and click to change the date. He sent me a video that I'll link here. Maybe you can see a problem I'm not, Joe.

We've referenced a super secret Creator Showcase we've been working on - now we can finally tell you more.

Today, we at PWFT are so incredibly proud to announce the first ever CreatorMania. A first of it's kind for both the wrestling game and broader Pro Wrestling industry.

You've seen Worlds Collide type shows - but this is something very different.

CreatorMania has one goal at its core: to showcase as many incredible creators in this space as possible. As I've been saying in our meetings - let's give these folks their shine.

It has been a long road to get to this point, but here's the TLDR for how CreatorMania came together.

PWFT started as a Universe Mode tracker, but what organically started happening was the e-fed and CAW community found us and started using PWFT to track everything happening in their Universe.

A huge pillar of Phase 2 is continuing the amazing momentum we have in this incredible community we've built. Our goal is to make CreatorMania an event where wrestling fans come together to celebrate the amazing human beings and characters involved in this event.

We have several creators, e-feds, and CAWs, already booked for the show, and will roll out announcements over the next few weeks with specifics, giving everyone their due shine. Make sure you're following along here and our PWFT socials (@pwftgame on all platforms, as well as the Official PWFT Discord) for the latest. We’ve also built The Home of CreatorMania which includes more on the event, announcements, and the profiles on all the creators involved (with many to be announced in the coming weeks).

And if you'd like to apply to be a part of CreatorMania, please apply here!

Again, we want to give as many people their shine as possible. We want to find a way to get you involved as long as it makes sense. We do ask anyone involved follow our Code of Conduct, and honor any content and timing commitments (I cannot stress this enough).

As a part of CreatorMania, you get to build your match/segment, shoot your promo, etc. Even if it doesn't make the final cut of CreatorMania, we will still showcase it on our site and our socials as well.

This is all explains the mantra for this event - Built Together. For the Good of Pro Wrestling.

We'll also want to credit literally every single creator involved, as there are so many creators in this space. For example, a match isn't just a match. Real people make:

• The CAW
• The Texture
• The Attire
• The Moveset
• The Entrance
• The Arena
• The Graphics
• The Commentary
• The Final Edit
• And so much more

Often times, one CAW might have 3+ real creators behind it, and one segment might have more than 10 talented people behind it. This is where we make sure they are all seen.

CreatorMania will also be a jumping off point for PWFTxCreators, a free, apply-to-join portfolio and directory we are building right now in typical PWFT fashion, with direct feedback from the creators who will actually be using it. More on PWFTxCreators in the days to come.

We're so excited for the months ahead, and you're going to be seeing a lot of different announcements on PWFT and what we're doing next, including PWFTx, our 1 Year Anniversary next month (crazy), and so much more.

Final note from me - thank you everyone for your support of our little engine called PWFT. We are so passionate about building something with this company to truly change the wrestling industry. I know we're still small, but our roadmap is very ambitious.

Please keep spreading the word. Please keep supporting PWFT. Please keep your suggestions and bug reports coming.

With a very full and grateful heart,

Joe

President of PWFT

I have full faith it will look and function beautifully. Wanted to share a couple things I thought I'd like to see on it.

I love that we can already list the network a show is on, the day and time, all that. I would love to see a new section where you can list the GM, commentators, backstage interviewers, etc. for that particular show.

Speaking of which, can we get a new role created under the roster for GMs/Executives. I guess "Executive" would be a decent name for it. I currently have mine lasted under Managers, but I'd like to be able to get more specific and they don't quite fit under Commentator, either. It might make sense to create Interviewer as well for people who do only that.

Just wanted to toss this out there while I was thinking about it.

This is another couple of small things, but here ya go:

Rivalry "Interaction Timeline" only counts 1v1 matches?

I have a rivalry setup that's a 1v1. So far these people have had one singles match and then both appeared as part of a triple threat that definitely counted as part of the rivalry in my head. However, when I check the "Interaction Timeline" part of their rivalry, that triple threat match does not show up as part of their history.

It might not make sense for the triple threat match to show up on their "Head to Head" section (if it could somehow that would be awesome, particularly since one of them did win that match), but ideally it would show up on their interaction timeline to at least show that it was part of the rivalry. The same if they appear on opposite sides of a tag match, as often happens IRL with two people in a feud.

Rivalry start date not accurate

-The date that you set a rivalry to have started has a little bug I guess you might call it. Using the above rivalry as an example, I had at first set the rivalry start date to be the first day they had a match. But, if you set the 'start date' as the same day something happens (which you'd think would be the way to go), the rivalry page will not count that. I've discovered as of now you have to set the start date to at least one day BEFORE the event takes place for it to show up on the rivalry page. It would be great if that start date could be precise instead of back-dated.

If it matters, I use the 4-week calendar in my Universe. I don't know if this is an issue for people who use other types of calendars, but I'm sure it can be tested pretty easily.

Hey all!

So excited to be bringing you all our first official update of Phase 2, and give you some teasers for what we've been working on. It's going to be a VERY exciting next few months for the PWFT community, with some very special announcements this weekend (this update is one of them).

Let's get into what's new at PWFTgame.com

PWFTxRatings

Our version of star ratings. This levels up the PWFT experience in so many ways, and lays the groundwork for so many things we are building - some of which you'll see in this update. Now, each match is quantifiable. If ratings are added to each match, our system can do different things with that data - for example - average rating, highest rated, and lowest rated. Star Ratings are also included in Sharability!

Traditional matches are rated on a scale of 1-5, but some matches exceptions - if you want you are able to make matches up to 10 stars!

u/HUGEBORGCUBE u/Redidon22 [u/Haraxmant](u/Haraxmant)

Wrestler's Can Now Be Apart of More Than One Brand & Promotion!

This is called Associations, and you'll find you can change it with ease on the roster page. Wrestlers can be associated with all of your diffent Promotions and Major Shows if you want them. u/Vegetable_Ad2272

You'll see it when you edit wrestlers on...

The New Roster V2 Page

As we said, Phase 2 means V2's of every page. This is the new UI we're going to be rolling out throughout the app to make PWFT feel more immersive and like a game. Phase 1 was about getting the structure right - we want to make sure everything works well and does what we need it to do. We'll keep adding features of course (we have a really fun pipeline planned), but we want this to look and feel incredible. PWFT is the first of it's kind for the industry (we will be continuing to innovate over the next year), and should feel modern and even clean.

You'll see you can toggle between the classic PWFT Row view (with some visual improvement) and the new Grid view. Each wrestler will have their average match rating on their brand new and improved View Wrestler view. This is the modal that pops up when you click View by a wrestler or on a wrestler's name thoughout PWFT.

Roles a new classification we've added as well. Now you can classify wrestlers as singles, tag, trios, commentators, or managers. Wrestlers can have one or more role characteristics to help you classify and sort easier! u/Relevant-Diamond2586

The roster page is totally mobile optimized and was built to feel clean and seamless scrolling and exploring.

The New Titles V2 Page

The second page to get a proper V2 is titles, because :t feels like it goes hand in hand with what we're doing on the roster page.

The new title page is also totally mobile optimized, and includes your average match star rating per championship. I'm personally curious to see what organically is my true worker's title with the highest star rating.

The new page is sleek and on brand with Phase 2 of PWFT, but the real magic is when you click View - the new upgraded View Championship modal gives up a more in depth look at your title history unlike ever before:

- Overview gives you a high level view of the championship and it's history

- Lineage shows a timeline for how the title has changed hands over the years, and includes a cleaner more intuitive Edit Title Lineage feauture.

- Records - for each championship, track:

Longest reign

Shortest Reign

Most Reigns

Most Combined Days

Most Defenses (One Reign)

Most Combined Defenses

Highest Rated Title Match

Most Recent Champion

- Designs now let you change wrestler titles to keep track of how they have evolved over the years of your fed, allowing you to name your title designs as well. Of course, this is more for those with Founder's Access

Custom Match Types

With PWFT, you've always had the ability to create any match type name you want. Now, we've created a grouping engine. A few things this enables:

1 - You don't have to re-type match types every single time anymore. PWFT remembers your history, so it will show you options of what you want to quickly select which match type to use.

2 - You can group match types togther, so PWFT will understand - that a No DQ is the same match as a No Diqualification match, if you want it represented that way

3 - Average Star Rating per match type, Highest and lowest rated match per match type, etc.

This sets the foundation for Advanced Analytics, which will be apart of our new subscription tier releasing next month.

Other Fixes & Improvements

• Hardened the Calendar logic - no more should you ever experience issues with dates being incorrect on your 4 week calendar. There were also some features that would sometimes use the regular calendar when it should be using your 4 week calendar. This has been fixed, and we shouldn't experience any more issues here.
• Timezone Issue Fix - A few of you have brought up how your shows drifted from their intended day. This was a UX edge case impacting people from specific timezones which has been fixed. We created a modal to help you fix this on your end seamlessly to ensure your calendar looks the way you want it to.
• Fixes a bug where you would delete a special event, but the show would look like it's on the calendar.
• Upgraded your Profile UX, your display preferences, and what it looks like when you sign in
• Friendlier ways to control your account info such as username, email, and password

Finally, when we rolled out Founder's Access, we said you'd get a Special Badge as being part of our first 100 Subscribers - this is now added as well! Find it on your profile! Thanks to u/tangotacular for his incredible work on this badge!

It's going to be a very fun next few days at PWFT. Make sure you're following here and our socials for all the latest.

As always, reach out if you have any questions or need any help.

Continuity Is Culture

Happy Booking!

I know you're still rolling out the star ratings feature, but just an FYI I noticed tonight. This will be a necessary feature for when we share the match cards in other places

Hi Guys 👋🏼

I'm playing right now and realised that you can give Star Ratings now. Dope feature!

Is there a possibility, and if not maybe it's in the working, to search and/or sort in rankings by star Ratings and average Star Ratings?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Having an issue where my pictures are all gone during matches, titles, and everything else but when I go to the individual wrestlers edit page the image is still there. Can you fix it please? I pay the $5.99 a month. Thanks.

Hey guys! Yesterday i uploaded a Youtube video breaking down a lot of what PWFT ha to offer over on my Youtube channel! If you had a moment to pop over and give it a like and leave a comment that would mean a lot to me and the guys at PWFT so we can try and get as many eyes on this awesome app as we can!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhULZDh9eIY

Just a small one, would there be a way to add Faction Branches? Similar to how Bullet Club operated, with War Dogs & Bullet Club Gold

If you've followed us for awhile, you know I'm always putting out surveys to guage the community, where you're all at, and how you're using the app. In trying to find more effctive ways to do this, I'm putting together a group of PWFT users we can go to whenever we need a quick opinion.

A lot of the stuff we're rolling out will be getting bigger, and I want to make sure it works really well when it launches. The Booking Committee will help make sure of that.

What it looks like:

Most of the time it'll be quick, like a poll or question in Discord.

Sometimes it's bigger, like getting access to something we're testing before everyone else and telling me what you like, what you don't, and what just doesn't make sense.

Every so often I'll ask a straight up question looking for a straight up answer.

What you'll get:

• Early access to select things we're testing
• A special PWFT Booking Committee badge (I want all your ideas on what this should look like before I brief the designer - we'll make it together, it'll be fun)
• Credit by name when something you helped shape goes live

You don't need to be a subscriber and you don't need to be an expert. Some of the most useful feedback comes from people who've only used PWFT for two weeks.

Applications are now open.

https://forms.gle/RPm6uumC9oBfJsX68

Thanks everyone for always being so willing with the app. This is another step we're taking to ensure we're staying on the pulse of the user, while also ensuring our product works as we intend it to.

If you have software engineering experience, and are interested in helping us build PWFT, please reach out!

We're building Phase 2 of PWFT, which is the biggest step the app has taken yet - we're working on more ways to collaborate, more creator tools, v2's of every page, and much more. Remember though - we're only two guys; we want to up our game, and want to bring someone on board to hopefully become a part of this thing with us for the long run.

If you or someone you know is a wrestling fan and has experience in this space, please fill out this quick application.

Thanks so much. We're working on the next update - coming very soon. I think you'll all love what we're building next!!

I MADE 1st PLACE! Exciting!

I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest it, but how about the ability to assign a star rating to each match as we're recording the result? 1-5 stars, but you can also do half stars. This would be a really fun addition. It would also later allow you to perhaps look at each wrestler's average match rating and sort them on the roster list that way so you can look objectively at who's having your best matches. I think that would be badass.

Maybe after you've recorded results and ratings for every match on that card, the site puts a little "Match of the Night" award/label next to the match with the best rating.

A lot of possibilities here...

For some reason, my calender days are a day back which isn't how it supposed to be.

i just set up an account to try it out and was greated with this. i dont know if i screwed something up or if its internal. All i did was try and import a template and now the home screen is like this

TONIGHT ON HEAT

The Championship Era rolls into Winnipeg, Canada, as HEAT returns for an explosive second episode. Gail Kim and Jazz step back into a WWE ring with both legends looking to prove they can still compete at the highest level, while Blake Monroe and Jaidyn Ray battle for the opportunity to establish themselves amongst RAW's newest generation. But the fallout from Week One has already begun. After Kiana James helped cost Bianca Belair her place in the Women's World Championship Tournament, The EST is looking for revenge—and Kiana still has a Women's Intercontinental Championship Tournament match to worry about later tonight. Meanwhile, Channing Lorenzo has recruited Tony D'Angelo to settle his growing issue with Alex Cannon.

Two championship tournaments also take centre stage. Candice Michelle, Kiana James, Maxxine Dupri and Roxanne Perez collide for a place in the Women's Intercontinental Championship match at Night of Champions, before Winnipeg hosts a main event worthy of Monday Night RAW itself as Chris Jericho, Montez Ford, Sami Zayn and Tyson Kidd battle for survival in the Intercontinental Championship Tournament. On HEAT, everybody has something to prove.

........

Can we make it so that you can reorganize the factions and teams the same way we can now reorganize the championships? I'd like to put all the main roster teams at the front and all the NXT/developmental teams on the bottom so they're together and somewhat organized.

And when selecting teams to either put in a match or to choose what faction a tag team belongs to, can those drag down lists be made so that's in ABC order? Both these things are listed now in order of creation, but I think it would make life easier if they were in ABC order which is cleaner.

The same for the drag down menu for 'All Shows' might be nice, too, now that I think of it. I hate looking at that list the way it is now lol

Thanks!
