Storyline explanation for using other cards

Ah so the break in the portal is actually YOUR doing and you are just trying to shift the blame onto Oracle. We are on to you bub.

superproxy, welcome aboard the Future Shock train. There's a couple of options for you. The easy one is that you can run an abbreviated 2115 schedule since the CWF had been shut down early in the year.

But if you're looking to use some other favorites, there's a few options that you can work into the cannon story. First off, the portal is a bit erratic, but you can say that it "miraculously" opened briefly and allowed some Dimension K (that's where the GWF is) wrestlers to come through. It can always "temporarily" open again to have guys leave later.

There are also a few entrances/exits that weren't through the portal to Dimension K, with Oracle's arrival and Chaos Supreme's exit being the most notable. In canon it's unclear exactly how those characters were able to travel, so you could theoretically have someone show up and disappear unexplained (at least, unexplained for now).

Heck, the Future Shock guys weren't really intending to go to "this" Centra anyway. Time travel and dimensional crossovers are a tricky business. Someone may have been trying a new path to Dimension X and wound up in Dimension Y.

It could be accidental, intermittent or Solaris might decide that it's important for the balance of existence. Lots of different avenues to try and work guys in.

Thanks Mike, Swarm and everyone who shared their great ideas! This is what's great about this game and community. You can ask a question and not only do you get your fellow members to help you, you also hear from the actual creators of the games.

Now I've definitely convinced myself that I can import some wrestlers into Centra without feeling like I'm veering away from canon. I won't let these visitors challenge for the main Heavyweight and Tag Team titles though. I'm probably going to have a new secondary title called the "Inter-Dimensional Championship" or the "Cosmic Convergence Championship" that they can fight over.

I would love to see a Kronos/Future Shock crossover one day.
