If you've ever played SD2's never ending season mode it's a lot like that, only way better.

SD2 was by far my favorite season mode in a wrestling game.

You need to have a minimum of 15 non-CAW wrestlers on any active brand you want to use but if your intention is to go retro with 80's and 90's wrestlers then there are enough legends and current guys who wrestled back then (like Nash and HBK) in the game that even using 15 in the game with the rest being your CAWS will still resemble the old days. Any guys you don't want to use you just transfer to a brand (like NXT) that you don't activate and you should be good.

Thanks.

I'll go study the roster and see if I can find 30 guys I want to use.

How nice that you're able to download those CAWs. If only...

[Bellsprout]

I know you shouldn't have to do this, it should just work, but I've been having decent success getting into the servers if I go on at a weird time. I downloaded a couple CAWs and arenas last night at like 1 in the morning.

Don't worry, we were all newbs at one point haha. I have had some luck the last two nights around 3AM getting on the server to download these guys. Once they're downloaded they will already be in your universe. It's just a matter of editing each brand (in the universe mode) to have the guys where you want them.
