The Superman 3 of People

While stats look good on most of the guys I've checked out, I'd flip the experience ratings on Cactus Jack (30) and Steve Austin (70). By that point in his career Jack was an established journeyman and Austin was still relatively new to the business.

Family Ties - This worker strongly considers existing relationships prior to agreeing to work for a promotion. This worker is significantly more difficult to sign away from a promotion they share with a blood relative, even more so if the promotion is owned or booked by a blood relative. However, this worker is more likely to sign for a promotion that already employs their blood relatives. For Life - As above, but for Strong Friendship and Best Friend relationships. Ham-and-Egger - This worker has a drastically reduced popularity cap but they will never, ever object to being booked as the loser in a match. Sunny Days - This worker has begun an affair. While this attribute is active, the worker is significantly more likely to end an existing romantic relationship and to start a new one. (This is a temporary attribute with a duration of 6-12 months. Certain personality types are more likely than others to gain this attribute, while others may receive morale boosts from it. This attribute always starts out secret, but may be discovered through play.)

King of Philadelphia - Within two years of the start of your save, Eddie Gilbert must set the record for most heavyweight title reigns in company history. For as long as Gilbert is employed by ECW, he must continue to hold that record. If he dies in your employ, his world title record can be MET by other roster members, but it can never be EXCEEDED. Alternate History - If Tommy Dreamer and Raven happen to be employed by ECW at the same time, they can never have a singles match against each other. What Could Have Been - When he debuts, you must offer a contract to Kurt Angle. By the end of his first year with your company, he must have won a singles title. They Came From Dudleyville - In April 1996, debut the Dudley Boyz. By the end of the year, expand the Dudley family to five members. You may not use any member of the historical Dudley Boyz in order to fulfill this goal. Radicalization - Of Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn, and Dean Malenko, pick the following: One must be hired and become world champion Two must be hired and made into a tag team, but neither can ever become world champion One can never be hired by ECW Day of the Warrior - As soon as he will accept negotiations with your company, you must sign the Ultimate Warrior and debut him in a world title program. He must come out victorious in that program. If you have not yet fulfilled this goal by 1996, you may instead choose to fulfill this goal with The Renegade. New Blood Rising - You cannot sign an active wrestler over the age of 40 to a new contract - unless that wrestler is Terry Funk. (Extending existing contracts is allowed.) International Incident - By the end of the first month your company is Small-sized, you must create and maintain a talent trading agreement with one or more Japanese promotions and one or more Mexican promotions at all times. You must feature at least one borrowed foreign talent on each show.

Eric Eisen is the one who booked Cornell v Nemesis.

As a random event, matches and angles should have a small chance of "catching fire" - this represents a breakout performance or standout promo with the potential to change a career. In these moments, a random number of participants in the match or angle should have their momentum set to Very Hot. It might be a good idea to also include a temporary "Caught Fire" attribute which acknowledges the event and serves as a cooldown to prevent one worker from having multiple occurrences of this event in a short period of time.

Not the same thing. I'm suggesting a gameplay feature, not a database feature. The average player shouldn't be expected to mess around with the database in order to get the desired results in booking a show.

Rather than always having to hire a named character from the region I'm putting on a show tonight, how about going more generic? A "Hire Local Talent" button could generate a faceless, nameless wrestler who works for a low, fixed amount of money for the duration of the show and then disappears from there. Match calculations could even be weighted a little more toward the other match participants to take into account that this wrestler is more a warm body than a focal point of the match. If you really want to jazz things up? Allow for these faceless, nameless wrestlers to occasionally "break out" with higher than normal stats. They'd get names and faces after the show, sticking around in the database permanently.

I like that we can pick a location and focus on it for the purposes of a given game, but I don't like that it's buried in the options menu. Could this option get incorporated into the New Game UI in the same way TEW does for promotions? For a lot of bigger databases, playing the whole world seems like it would just be overwhelming.
