Has anyone ever made a change to a character for storyline purposes? I rebooted my CWF and I decided to add PainMaster and Meteor to give it more star power. Meteor became an Original Shirk type wrestler that goes after other rule breakers. PainMaster is very much a powerhouse/technician that attacks the back of his opponents to make The Torture Rack more effective. And Lance At-Las got a big change with his "Stargazer" gimmick. He's very much a Jeff Hardy meets David Bowie in his presentation and ability in the ring.

I may have made a tweak or two but not drastic. Keeping characters close to how they were written is one of the things I do that does not sway far from cannon.

If including reusing cards I have done that a lot. Started back in the early days as I did not want to "retire" some cards plus wanted a bigger roster. With Star Warrior's first upgrade I used his old card as his cousin Shooting Star. I renamed Spike's first upgrade as the Wasteland Warrior. When the Gladiators got their cleansing I renamed their original cards team name to Warmongers. I do not recall their individual names at this time. When I got back into the games and had all those Bloodline cards I named one Nitro. Then when I got Nitro I renamed him C4. Those are the ones that I remember easily.

Classic. I'll bet he was a real killer. Not like Toucan, Son Of Sam. THAT guy was cereal killer. I think back in the original COTG days there was more room for changing up characters and trying different things, just because we didn't have a lot of options. Once the roster expanded to ridiculous proportions there was less need. I don't recall changing a lot of characters post about 2090s. And on that note, we cue the music.

I agree with you about the roster size. But part of the reason I used Son of Sam, Rhea, Mangus, etc. is that I didn't have the time to run a Kronos fed and I wanted to make use of the cards. When I started the CWA (which we'll chat about on this week's UTP!) I brought some of them in as alternates or themselves so I could use the cards. How did that turn out? Listen to this week's episode of the Uncharted Territory Podcast and find out!

In relation to the original topic of the thread, I updated Meteor's original Birthday Bash stats to make him tougher, when he was dealing with his drug problems. He would do SMASH WITH BONG as a DQ finisher and he was accompanied by Kay Fabe (nGo character). Lance At-las came in to save him and get him cleaned up.
I've probably done some other changes to official characters over the years but that's the first one that popped into my mind.
