Mr. Bungle

Awesome, thanks!

<p>Folks, I'm looking for a mod for 1996, just before nWo shows up.</p><p> The links in all the threads I found are dead.</p><p> </p><p> Anybody have a live one for me?</p>

Thanks a bunch guys! I might set him to "On Hiatus" and then try to entice him back :-) Another question, sort of related. The Briscoes are extremely loyal to ROH and do not want to sign a written deal with because of that. Is there a way to get them to sign with me anyway? Or does ROH have to go out of business before they'll sign with anyone?

How?

<p>I've gone national!! As the ony company in the national arena, I take it I won't fall back to cult after the warm up/grace period?</p><p> </p><p> Also, if a worker is 'out of the business', is there a chance they return on their own? Or do I have to cheat by editing the database? (I really want CM Punk back in the race here)</p><p> </p><p> @Adam, isn't it an idea for 2020 to be able to entice workers 'out of the business' back 'into the business'?</p>

Does a 'B'-show help grow wrestler's pop? What's the impact on my company's pop?

More importantly: Why are they off their game?

Thanks guys! There are no other national companies, so I would have an easy ride when I get there. My main competitor has been losing pop, but is not far off from going national as well. I've got a war chest and have good production values already and my workers are equal to my competitor I'm going for a it!

I've got the grades to keep my timeslot (and then some!). I'm currently on late night with a minimum set by my broadcaster of C- or something, while I'm doing B's and B+'s regularly. I'm the nr 2 promotion in terms of muscle (money), but the nr 3 in terms of prestige and momentum. I'm very close to going national I believe, I've got 6 areas with 65 or more importance and 2 areas with 64 or 63. You need 8 areas with 65+ to go national. Yet my networkpartner will not give me the prime time timeslot or even the late evening timeslot (the one before late night) This brings me to another issue. I'm very close to going national, but should I want to go national in the first place?

Hi folks, I'm currently running a 2-hour A-brand show and a PPV. My roster is a nice size, not too big although a lot of the lower card guys don't get to appear on the tv show. My upercard and main eventers are always on the show. So I'm thinking of starting a 1-hour B-brand show for the lower carders. What's the impact of this on my roster and finances? Are my top guys going to complain that they weren't on the show or will this impact their 'happiness'? Is this going to generate more income for me? Or will the production costs pretty much mean I'll be running the show at a loss every month? (this will obviously not be a prime time show, perhaps a graveyard or late night show) While I'm at it I have another question: My main tv-show is regularly getting B/B+ grades, but my networks just refuse to move it to the prime time timeslot. Any idea why?

Does it hurt a face worker if I put a heel manager with him?

<p>Can someone explain to me how the "importance"-factor works?</p><p> The explanation ingame doesn't make much sense to me. It says something like "importance is a calculation of popularity and importance" or somesuch.</p><p> </p><p> How can something be a calculation in which itself is a variable?</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, how does this grow or decline?</p>

NxT has tv deals... Then it only makes sense if I have my own tv channel... hmm...

So, that means that they will negotiate their own tv deals? (for tv and events?)

(if so, how do I do this? Can't assign any announcers, etc. in the child company controls)</p><p> </p><p> How about road agents, referees, etc.? Do I need to hire them and how do I assign them to my dev. territory?</p><p> (I tried sending some refs from my main roster as well as a spare announcer, but that didn't work...)</p>

Damn that's fast! Too bad though, maybe something to think about for 2020 Adam...
