Is Prime Colonizer a 2115 Centra rookie?

[Swarm]

This is a tough one. You make a good point about Matador (and Chaos) both wrestling before arriving in the GWF. However I would absolutely allow both to be in the running for ROTY in 91/92 because they’re both GWF rookies with their first GWF cards.

Future Shock Prime Colonizer/Chaos Supreme and Vengeance are more like Hall/Nash/Hogan showing up in WCW. So while you could use some loopholes to make it work, I’d say that since all three have already been in the GWF with established careers, I have to vote no. Prime Colonizer is not a rookie. Newcomer is probably the best way to get around it.

I ended up calling the award Rookie/Newcomer of the Year with the 2115 award recipient being Prime Colonizer who qualified as a Newcomer.

Calling the award Rookie/Newcomer of the Year gives me more flexibility and I don't need to worry about trying to figure out who qualifies for it each year as it will now automatically be all the wrestlers with cards released for that game year other than the upgrades of wrestlers who were in te fed the previous year. So for Centra 2116 that would include all of the new cards being eligible for the award in 2116 except I believe the upgraded Evolution (who just won my Carnage Championship with his newly upgraded card.)

Thanks to everyone here who gave me their feedback on this topic!
