EARLY ACCESS RELEASE: AEW MITB REPLACEMENTS
Replaces: Green MITBNotes: 2K changed their shaders for WWE 2K22 and added some incredibly gross LOD (level of optimization) for distancing. You will see this on the default in game steps, how they don't appear as metal depending on the distance the camera is. Unfortunately we can't do anything about it, so the Brass Ring will appear matte from a distance - the casino chip is more forgiving. This is just more filler content again.Meta update: Thanks to the community of Discovery, we're speeding up the process of harvesting bye data ...

EARLY ACCESS RELEASE: BARBED WIRE 2X4 & SHANE HASTE
Hey all, since the belt build of the data editor won the vote, it's going to take extra time to finalize the pipeline - I'm about 80% in, all that is required is the creation of belt data through a popup window which is coming along. It didn't feel right to not have any content released through-out this week, so in lieu of that I decided to release two mods to compensate for the time gate of the data editor.
