Sir Andersen

Awesome. Thank you. This will be very helpful.

I really want to adhere to the product's "audience expects this % of matches and that % of angles" on my shows. To do so I find myself doing the mental arithmetic of how much time I need to cover with angles, then counting up as I book. It would make my life a bit easier if the booking sheet, by default, displayed the match to angle ratio/% by default instead of only when you have way too much of one.

Awesome, I think that'll be really helpful. Thank you. I was only really so put off by it because I'm completely new to the game, so the hike from tiny to small really surprised me. My company isn't going under from it, but it did kinda throw off my budget by a lot and force me to postpone some things. It took me by surprise is all.

Oh wow. That's way different from what the handbook says. I wish I'd had these numbers going in.

Thanks, I'll do that next time just for inclusivity. Ironically, I have been making use of the pre-show on all my other events for dark matches to train guys, but for my big show I was like "nah, I just want to focus on the big stuff for this one" and it bit me in the ass so very very hard

CornellVerse game starting my own promotion out of Scandinavia from tiny (Viking Pro) Current Viking Pro Champion is the company's figurehead Landon Mallory And the holders of the newly minted Viking Pro Tag Championship is Future X consisting of Eric Future and Petey Barnes

I'm no expert on this game, but what I've been doing is snatch up 3 guys right out of wrestling school who seem like they might have decent potential, and then just have them going in matches against my very best guys on the pre-show of almost every show. Matches are run with "protect [inexperienced worker]" and "open match" notes on. They don't really produce good matches (certainly not so good I'd want them on the actual show), but I see pretty good stat growth on them, to the point where after half a year or a year they're getting to the point where I'm starting to consider giving them a real spot.

Tangentially related I had the exact same thing happen to me with announcing/colour. I run a shitty little fed, so my announce/colour team with 60-ish skill is generally good enough to get the "segment was lifted by announcing/colour" road agent notes, but when my figurehead does a promo on his own he so far outshines the rest of my product that suddenly the same commentary team is dragging the segment down. I totally get why you were confused by this, because my first thought was "oh shit, what happened?"

I recently ran my first ever "season finale" show (in 2023 CornellVerse). Big beefy matches with all my big stars. Show went really well. Not my highest-rated show ever, but up there. Come out of the show and how half my roster is pissed off, because apparently EVERYONE wanted to be on that show really badly. Lesson learned, next year it's going to be 3 hours.

Started out at tiny out of Scandinavia. Some of the standouts on my roster are: Landon Mallory Kruge the Executioner Walker van Cleer Konrad Makinen Marcello Ricci Paolo Gandalfini

So according to the handbook the base cost for running a live show as a Small company is $500, yet after hitting small I am with a "general show cost" of 14000 for a month where I ran 2 shows. What gives? Are the numbers in the handbook just obsolete/out of whack? And if so, where can I find accurate numbers? This is a real hit. I'm barely hanging on, and right now it's feeling like growing from Tiny to Small has done nothing but hurt me.
