Why do obviously retired people get to keep their physical attributes in the data? For everyone like Cope who comes back after a decade off, there's another 50 like Taz or Kurt Angle who will almost certainly never wrestle again. Make Taz an announcer and nerf Kurt's physical stats.

Is it possible in TEW to have someone wrestle under two different alter egos in the same show? Like Foley wrestling as Cactus Jack early on and then wrestling again as Mankind later?

>As Lothar Prime left me >>19734073 I took the opportunity to turn Dylan Drama heel. Dylan is a better heel and it seems like it was only the team with Prime that led to the face turn in the first place

I made the two group of fictional wrestlers from WCW/nWo Revenge with two from world tour thrown in in Fire Pro and plan on using them in fire promoter. I know they are based on real wrestlers moveset wise, but i changed some things here and there with their movesets. Top group with be the EWF stable and bottom will be DAW stable and the promotion will be called Independent Union.

Generated talent development would go a long way, but I also don't want to be stuck in the WWE swamp. I have negative interest in it, AEW, etc. The smaller time stuff is more interesting, for some odd reason, but I also have been away from wrestling for 20+ years and only came back because jewtoob fed new slop into my feed.

If it were "big" enough so that rumble-esque events could pop back up with more regularity and could have stronger frameworks for building storylines, that would be awesome. Those were fun.

Like 15...I needed them at the start because nobody else would take my calls. Now I don't need them. I assumed a handshake deal meant on-call they're free to say now since everyone else does here and there and we are still the smallest outfit around so we're last on their priorities list.

Since you don't need them anymore, trying going with quality over quantity now. Look at your roster and see who's reliable/the most over and decide who should stay as a handshake and who should be full time. Even if you don't have the deepest roster, workers under contract who consistently put on great matches more so than not and are reliable should continue to boost the company's popularity, then you could start slowly turning handshake deal wrestlers who are starting to become reliable and over into contracted wrestlers when the money starts coming in.

Looking around the field, the industry is slowing down pretty hard. Most of those low-carders come from actwres, marvelous, IceRibbon, and chocopro. Many of them are in the red. Actrwres is pretty deep in the red, chocopro is ~8 grand in the red. IceRibbon also has a bunch of the girls, they are only 1K above water. Marvelous is 8 grand in the red.

My shows average around 50 ratings and I've put the high performers on contract already. It's just the jobbers bitching bringing the party down.

Maybe he'll dethrone Gandalfini. With the right opponents Paolo Gandalfini has been a blessing in terms of match ratings compared to Kruge The Revenger, he's already raised the prestige of the Universal title by two points in the three months he's held it. Something that took Kruge 8 months to do.

Maybe it's because Kruge is a face and all the most of the top heels at the time of his reign were oldheads like 41 year old Crusher Von Steinberg & Bam Bam Johansson who can barely go 10 minutes. Think I'll see how he does against some of the newer well known-stars heels that I've got like Cub Balowicz & Magnus Cage.

Crusher being gassed and sawdust'd in your save is a shame too, because the guy is a great upper midcard heel in saves where he gets a good destiny roll and isn't in TD. But yeah, see how Kruge does against Magnus.

So far so good. Executioner and Ming Chee's necks are slightly injured after their matches. Hawk Hana also has neck issues. Master Fuji's neck is red, given him being 52 years old makes sense he'd get injured more.
