  @ty eash Some very good suggestions there, I think Chetti/Victory would be priorities among the names listed there. Would love to do Chris Hamrick as well

  @Nomad Considering how much work I've put in to the historical AJPW/Noah roster, this might not be too far away from someday occurring

You're missing Gunner Scott from WWE in 2006. He was on Smackdown for a hiccup. He wrestled as Brent Albright in OVW.

Hey, it's me again. (Sorry, I am being really annoying, I know) But I have even more suggestions for the ECW alumni roster.

If it's possible, can we get A.J. Petrucci & Doug Stahl (The Super Destroyers)? It would be important to get them, because they are not only 2 time ECW Tag Team Champions, but they are also the inaugural ECW Tag Team Champions as well, which would make them really important to include. Also, they look kinda cool with their black masks.

Another guy I would like to be added is Johnny Hotbody. He was the ECW Heavyweight Champion once, beating inaugural champ, Jimmy Snuka, becoming the 2nd ever ECW Heavyweight champ.

Last but not least, a while back I asked for Chubby Dudley and Dances With Dudley to be in with the rest of the Dudleys. Well I kinda forgor one member, and that is none other than Lil' Snot Dudley. He didn't have that big of a career, so getting all of his info wouldn't be that hard.

I appreciate the hard work you guys do, and I can't wait to see awesome this will play out! Keep up the good work mods!

Woah. They just added Mustapha Saed right in front of my eyes rn. I just checked to see if he was there. He wasn't, so I went through the website randomly for a bit, and when I came back, there he is.

Idk if someone ever asked for this before but I think you should add the feature of creating a custom roster and share on this website. No matter the year, era or company. It would be a cool thing for the fans.
