If you saw me on one of your discover feeds, no you fucking didn't.
30's as far as I had anything pencilled in, incidentally. Most of the stuff that was hard on paper like this was world title type stuff. That said, here's what was booked for 20 as a bonus, since most of it was in already.

For the A-Division, the plan on Prime was for Yukita to win the title immediately. As far as I had booked out, he wasn't losing it. Similarly, that was eventually the plan in DRYVE, but that wasn't happening for a while, and we have to get there first, which is going to take a bit of doing.

I fully wanted it to be a comedy-type gimmick, as seen by the card for Highly Responsive to Chairs (and Stairs!), a show wherein every match was a custom match where countouts were on but there were no DQs and all the weapons were chairs

I don't remember if this particular crunchy pickle arena got used or not, it probably did, but I made this one too
November 1, 2025 at 9:32 AM
I never got around to putting logos on it and I think it was still WIP outside of that but I made a PHOENIX arena in 2k23 also in case Stardy wanted to run it on that. Crucially, I will just make arenas if given even the slightest prompt.

Speaking of titles that never appeared, over on 2k23 this one never appeared on account of being stolen twice in one night, first by Frauenkampf and then by The Ashen Throne, those being the SydeShow Z-Division tag titles.

Was planning on adding title belts down the line also, here's an eternally unfinished WIP of the Open Class. I really liked the carving reigns in the wooden sideplates thing.
November 1, 2025 at 9:22 AM
[E] was actually going to be 3 nights, unrelatedly. The first night was going to be in the SydeShow arena. The main tron is an overstim nightmare I don't know what I was on with that, like the stripes on the ramp weren't enough already.
November 1, 2025 at 9:19 AM
Here's the arena for TANW [E], which you may note looks a lot like the one used in 2k19. The one in 2k19 is closer to what the general shows were going to look like for the next I want to say 3 cycles? The lighting and trons here were special for [E].
November 1, 2025 at 9:14 AM
Back on 2k18 for a few more arenas and such. Here's an arena I made for Kawada for Top of the Bops, which sadly never happened. I'd forgotten about this entirely, simple but kind of sick I think.
November 1, 2025 at 9:10 AM
Just remembered I did use the 2k19 TANW arena for Cory/Tanner at SFDQ 2020. Remembered because I looked in highlight reel and saw exactly what a few of these throwback CAWs were for.
November 1, 2025 at 9:05 AM
Here's the $100,000 Hardcore Championship from PGC, it was gonna appear on SOS a couple of times so it got an actual design that I just fully forgot about until I checked just now. Also, here's V1 of the Championship of Power from PEW, which might've debuted in 2k19 I don't remember.
November 1, 2025 at 9:03 AM
I don't think i ever used the ISSW arena for anything? Very minimalist. GKP I'm pretty sure I did use for a couple of showcases.
November 1, 2025 at 8:58 AM
I might've used this TANW arena for a showcase or I might've just made it for playing online, I genuinely don't remember. Three whole announce tables. Seeing the floor texture and the wooden stairs makes me really miss textures in CAA in 2k25.
November 1, 2025 at 8:55 AM
RTME was initially being planned out on 2k19 too, here's what that would've looked like there. This was the version that was going to be the "RTJ doing the Chris Hero charity gauntlet until she dies" thing but Alice X died instead before I could get to it. Not much to it aesthetically, never was.
November 1, 2025 at 8:51 AM
SOS was more a victim of the time I tried to start it in than anything else. I think it would've probably still gone the route that Prime did or given way to something like DRYVE but I lost so much of the roster so early.

I wanted to change "elements" each cycle, first was fire, second was water.
November 1, 2025 at 8:48 AM
Heading to bed soon and don't have the energy to do more CAW rundowns but I do want to show off a few arenas that never got used.

AES Royale is a project that was too ambitious for its own good I think. In a game like 2k25 with intergender natively think I could've done it but not hybrid.
November 1, 2025 at 8:45 AM
Oh god I forgot about 2011 Vincent Wallace, cursed by design but cursed nevertheless. I think my plan was to run a GKP throwback compilation show as a documentary with Adrian & Vincent against Tanner & Matt, Samuel against Freddie and Teresa against Nina? I don't fully remember, passage of time etc.
November 1, 2025 at 8:36 AM
Speaking of 2008, here's Teresa Pontarelli before she got her eye fucked up in the deathmatch with A.M.

Just between you and me, I accidentally fucked up the wrong eye in 2k25 and didn't realise until after the match aired, just pretend it was always the right eye that got fucked up.
November 1, 2025 at 8:33 AM
Nina Baxter didn't show up much in APEX and I can't make these looks work in 2k25, so here she is. First 2 are her in APEX, last 2 are throwback to 2008. She was very Bowie-inspired, obviously.
November 1, 2025 at 8:30 AM
Here's a 2012 Samuel Trowell. He's got such a squished little face what's his fuckin problem.
November 1, 2025 at 8:27 AM
Here's another Tanner, this one's from late 2011, right when he started teaming with Mattias, then still Matt Delsin. He's just started growing the hair out to how he has it in 2012 and he's decided on a mustache for now that'll be gone when the year rolls around.
November 1, 2025 at 8:24 AM
Here's a design I was toying w for Green Blazer after her second planned and failed unmask, modeled partially after her dead dad who I talked about in The Big Promo. Wasn't really happy with this one either, I think the concept was fine but the execution was a bit shit, could do this better now prob
November 1, 2025 at 8:20 AM
Here's 2k19's v1 of Jurgen Dread made with the double hair glitch. He was supposed to be in PEW but I didn't get him finished before the servers went down because I REALLY wasn't happy with him here, I think what I've got now is a massive improvement and I'm glad I waited instead of jumping the gun.
November 1, 2025 at 8:15 AM
Here's him in 2012 also, nursing a shoulder injury. I don't think this one got used for anything.
