  1. Can't wait to dig into this! I am barely active on this forum, but have been here since the place opened in 2005. Looking forward to enjoying this.
  2. Looking forward to this. It could be a good base to give us an 80s mod and early 90s to bring it full circle with the CVerse 97 mod as well. Nice to see the CVerse getting fleshed out, as it's my favourite way to play TEW.
  3. If you need data for the Maritimes territory in Canada, I can provide some information for Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling. I have a list of results from their shows going all the way back to the 60s, so it can kind of give you an idea of who the big stars were and whatnot from that era. I also find a lot of historical mods have far less venues from the Maritimes where various indie companies run until today, and even arenas that WWE runs when they come by (and hopefully AEW eventually).
  4. I've seen this suggested elsewhere, but I no one used this example, so I figure it is a good justification to be able to talk to someone who has left the business in an effort to try and get them back. Tony Schiavone left the business in 2002. He did one TNA appearance and then he was done. He said multiple times over the years that he was thankful for the fans but never wanted to come back to wrestling. Then he started his podcast with Conrad, continued to insist he didn't want to come back, until MLW needed a commentator for their first show back. Then AEW happened, and here we are, Tony Schiavone is back in the business. I think there should be an option to talk to someone who has left to try and bring them back mainly because Tony was definitely not on hiatus for all that time. He was done. Then the right opportunity came around, and he came back, and is happier than he has ever been (which has honestly been wonderful to see, as WCW ended so badly.) I would think that a situation like that should justify it. Tully Blanchard is another one, where he was essentially retired in 1992. Yet, here we are, and he is back as a manager. It can be something that is extremely rare and not common, but under the right circumstances, it could be fun to let that happen.
  5. I have no idea what happened, but the shows are all drawing as normal now. Must have had something to do with the state of the industry or something. Thank you all for the help! EDIT: I was wrong haha. First two shows of the tour did 30,000, next show (a few days later in a different region) did 10,000, and it's normally a place where I would draw 30,000. I'm guessing it's a case of diminishing returns, which is fine. I was hoping there was a way to do "normal" shows rather than tour ones to try and replicate what NJPW does with NJPW World, but I guess that's not strictly possible unless tour shows could be shown without it being highlights. That's okay though. I'll just use my imagination for the tour shows as being shown in full, and having a few normal shows scattered throughout the tours to maximize attendance a few times.
  6. I'm running a touring company right now (BHOTWG), and I'm trying to replicate what NJPW would do with the G1, as all the shows in the G1 tend to be a bigger deal than a standard tour show. They have 19 shows in a month, and replicating a round robin tournament like that could be a lot of fun. That is why I was hoping I could get several shows over a few days to hit the 10-15,000 mark easily, but they seem to start at 30,000 then drop to 5000. Having a show with a tour title be high importance is a bit difficult naturally, and I don't want to use the editor to set them all to high importance.
  7. Sadly, that isn't the case for me. When I run a normal event one day (lets say Monday), it'll draw 30,000 and then the next show on Tuesday will hit 10,000 or less. I'm going to experiment more.
  8. I'm curious about this - is there a way to run double shots without impacting attendance for both nights? i.e. NJPW getting about the same attendance for WK nights 1 & 2 for two years straight now. I have played around with the events a few times, and the second show is always impacted quite a bit in terms of attendance, even if it's in a different location.
  9. Had no idea this could happen. Anyone know what the story does or if it has any effect? It seems to be randomly generated. If the picture isn't show, it's Rick Law going bankrupt haha.
  10. Hey there! I have been enjoying the mod, but I noticed an error in the Canadian territory scene. Atlantic Grand Prix Wrestling was not founded until 1977, and it was founded by Emile Dupree. Yvon Robert Jr.'s Grand Prix Wrestling was based out of Montreal, Quebec, and that is the promotion that has been conflated with the Maritimes Atlantic Grand Prix. They are actually two different promotions. Also, for Atlantic Grand Prix, they would consistently draw crowds of 2000+ (some quite a bit larger, in the 5000+) range, which is remarkable given the population of the Maritimes today is just less than 3 million (between Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island), with New Brunswick having 750,000 people (and probably way less in the 70s).
  11. AEW has actually held up quite well with their PPV buys. 100,000 for every PPV so far, with the latest actually being their highest at 115,000-120,000. That said - 400,000 is actually quite reasonable OP. Even half of that is for a medium promotion. If you have PPV deals in place worldwide for TV, it can throw it off. Industry does as well.
  12. Fantastic stuff in terms of the UI improvement. I am very satisfied. I loved it beforehand in terms of how it played, and love it even more now. Adding the keyboard support for the roster screen and whatnot is really great.

  14. I meant that the way TV shows were produced in the 80s were very different from what we have now. They were studio shows that drove to live events without PPVs. Mainly, that the TV was designed specifically to build to the house shows that people would go out to. So, the purpose of TV wasn't to see outstanding matches or to build to PPVs but to sell tickets to house shows. That is why the focus of the TV was building stars through squash matches and building feuds with promos. Match quality, in that case, shouldn't be as important to the overall rating of the show if we were simulate that correctly, as the show, historically, should just be squash matches with the occasional match between stars every few months.
