Just catching up on the TEW IX news. I discovered the game with the TEW 2020 edition, so I haven't been around long. I agree with others earlier in the thread that an overhaul to popularity is definitely needed, as this was my biggest issue with TEW 2020. A Forbidden Door type of event, or simply mimicking AEW's usage of NJPW/AAA/CMLL/Stardom wrestlers, simply cannot occur in TEW 2020, as the existing roster won't put them over due to their in-game "lack" of US popularity and US viewers would be uninterested in them. A fix to this would result in an immediate purchase by me.

Is there a way to solely view your Followed threads and pick up reading that followed thread at the last read message? The previous board had this option, but I cannot for the life of me find that option here. All I see is an option to read posts for all followed threads in an activity stream, which is confusing.

Question regarding toxic workers: I'm currently running a TCW fed (in March 2021), and Greg Gauge got himself in a scandal regarding his regular usage of prostitutes. He is now deemed to be toxic and essentially unusable for the foreseeable future until the storm has time to pass.
How long can I expect this toxicity to last? Does "foreseeable future" mean a month or two? 6 months? A year? Will I need to suspend him (give time off)? Naturally, his contract is up in 3 months, and I have huge plans for him going forward - he's become a major star (my #2 heel after Jay Chord), is the current leader of the Syndicate (having taken control of the group from Eddie Chandler after Wolf Hawkins turned face), and was scheduled to enter a storyline with Wolf after Wolf wins the TCW title from Chord at Total Mayhem in May.
Thanks

TEW newbie here - I purchased TEW 2020 2 weeks ago, greatly enjoying the game and Cornellverse so far!
I'm playing a TCW fed and have some questions regarding creating a broadcasting company, as my readthrough of the handbook left me with more questions. When is the best time to create your own broadcasting company to air your programming? Should you wait until your existing major television deals expire? Does airing your weekly tv shows and events on your broadcasting company, when those same shows/events already have cable/tv deals on other broadcasters in that region, prevent your broadcasting company from being profitable? Does airing on one cannibalize viewers on the other?
For example... If I create an internet commercial broadcasting company with Very Big coverage in the US to air TCW Total Wrestling, with ACE already airing the program on cable commercial television with Very Big coverage, what happens if I let the ACE deal expire rather than renewing? Would all the existing US viewership of the show on ACE simply move to the created broadcasting company's broadcast? I understand that I'd be receiving 100% of a smaller revenue number, as opposed to 15% of the larger revenue number on ACE. If the full ACE viewership simply moves to the created broadcasting company's broadcast, then creating the broadcasting company seems like a no-brainer, right?
Thanks in advance.

My point is that if it was a TEW game, these wrestlers would have US popularity ratings in the teens or 20s at the most, which simply wouldn't be accurate. Look at, for example, Matthew Keith's or Edward Cornell's US popularity in TEW 2020. There should be a lot of North American recognition/familiarity there, yet it's impossible for one of the US Big 3 to immediately put them over in main event or upper midcard matches where they should be, due to the game's reliance on the popularity system. If you're playing as TCW and paying big money to sign these guys, being forced to have them slowly build up US popularity over 6-12 months (like an unknown indie wrestler signing at minimum) doesn't seem right.
