Most likely, you're using an angle rated on Overness or Menace for longer than 4 minutes. For longer angles, your workers need to be doing something - so, they need to be booked on Entertainment, Microphone, Fighting, etc.

A good example of this is the Attributes, to move away from Product Settings, which are more controversial. Is it annoying as hell for mod makers to have to edit all the attributes of people, after they'd spent the time to edit the personalities and such, in previous versions? Obviously. At the same time though, a lot of that was guesswork, especially with lesser-known wrestlers, or it was a pain to figure out if somebody needed to be 80% or 75% or whatever percent Liberal to agree to jump off a high thing and possibly be injured for a year. Now, you can mark them as Risky, plus a couple of other things, and you're good to go. Is that less control from when you could say, Jeff Hardy is 80% liberal, but Nick Gage is 100% liberal, or Scott Steiner is 90% of steroids, while Hulk Hogan is only 75%? Sure, and maybe that's a case that "something has been taken away," but now we have a much more understandable system, that I actually think once the hard job of editing is done, will be much better for mod makers in the future, and be better for players.

Either way would work, but remember, the 'overuse' note is based on time the person is on screen, not how many matches they have. In theory, if you had somebody in _five_ two minute matches, and then had somebody less over in a a single twelve minute match, the latter match would be far worse for you.

Roster, Champions, Schedule Post

October 15th, 2019 Daily News Report by Mercedes Varnado At a press conference in suburban Tokyo, former 5 Star World Heavyweight champion Saeko Hiroyuki announced to the assembled wrestling press, that over the last year, not only had she had been training a new class of wrestlers, but also starting in the new year, she'd be spinning up a new promotion, to compete in the Japanese promotional scene. In addition, Hiroyuki also said that she'd reveal the first ten recruits for her Dojo, along with other people who had joined the new promotion. In a somewhat depleted women's wrestling scene, which many long-time fans see as a side effect of Five Star being unable to create enough talent for there to be more than one successful Joshi wrestling promotion, and in the view of many, that's exactly the way the people behind Five Star, some of whom have links to the exact people implicated in the WLW Scandal, like it. Then again, if you see fan cam footage of a house show of any wrestling promotion and don't notice the older men in sweaters being treated very nicely, then you're not paying very good attention. As most Joshi fans know, Hiroyuki was one of the few Japanese non-Magical Three members of the Five Star roster to actually win the World title, but rumors back then were that Butler, despite being a member of the core group of gaijin women, had actually called for the title change, as she though even then, Five Star needed to build up a new group of stars. Despite this, Saeko would hold the title for a fairly banal six-month reign, where she even had to suffer the indignity of having a tag team match involving the Magic Three + Butler main event over her first title defense. After dropping the title, Hiroyuki fell quickly back to the mid-card, and outside of a few title shots at second-tier events, she was never a main event player in Five Star again and left the promotion in 2007. Rumors abounded, especially on the nascent social media of the time, including message boards and Facebook exactly why she'd left the company, with theories being thrown out ranging from being pregnant, having pissed off some of Five Star's shadier owners, to one of the Magic Three demanding they get to kick out of the Hiroyuki Bomb. Nothing has ever been confirmed, but it is interesting than Sensational Ogiwara beat DEVIL Karbue for the title, after kicking out of a move that closely resembled the Hiroyuki Bomb. Regardless, since then, Hiroyuki has largely been on the periphery of women's wrestling, showing up for various independent shows, the small-scale promotions that last a few shows that die out, and in more recent years, being around for the annual indie shows that pop around The Supreme Challenge, including a fun tag team match, teaming up with June Butler against the 'new age' superteam of Joanne Rodrigeuz & Alicia Strong in 2008, before USPW become the super company it currently is. After her official retirement of the ring, she moved backstage but has never had the wide-ranging involvement that this new promotion will involve. It remains to be seen, in a nation in its fourth year of 'national economic emergency', if any new wrestling companies can deal with the after-effects of the Hiratsuka Tsunami & Earthquake. October 22nd, 2019 J*STAR Officially Announced, New Recruits Rundown by Liz Kocianski In what has to be some of the biggest news in Japan outside of Five Star in the living memory of most women's wrestling fans, Saeko Hiroyuki officially announced her trainees, the name of her new promotion, and a somewhat full schedule, at least for the first three months of 2020. What makes this difference from STARLITE, Hiroshima Pro, New Japan's Women, or the various other small promotions that have popped over the past decade is that Hiroyuki obviously still has connections with 'official' Japanese wrestling, has actually trained wrestlers who will be more likely to be loyal to her personally, and most importantly, actually has a plan. As much fun as those wacky Z to A shows in front of 30 people in an apartment meeting room may be to watch on Youtube, it's not proof of much forward planning. We'll go over the actual recruits at the bottom of this post, but looking at some of the more specific elements of the company - Other Employees – Outside of Hiroyuki, former Five Star midcarder Umeko Hotta was announced in a backstage role (ie. road agent), Tsunayoshi Yamamoto, former PGHW broadcaster from the mid-2000's who according to various Twitter posts has been working in third-tier Japanese MMA has been signed on as the main announcer, and in what could oddly be called the biggest news outside of the trainee roster, Naizen Uboshita was announced as a color commentator and 'Official J*STAR Ambassador.' For those that don't know, Naizen is a well known Twitter and Instagram personality, and even though he isn't famous, he's well known in wrestling circles for being a bit of a charismatic nerd savant about wrestling, and has openly talked about officially getting in the business for years. Well, as many years as you can when we're talking about a guy in his early 20's. Of course, the other reason you might now Naizen is the mini-Twitter storm, at least among hardcore wrestling fans, when K.T. Devonshire (better known as Katya Korshinakova from ACPW), in an informal Ask Me Anything on Twitter, implied that during a recent Supreme Challenge weekend, that Naizen had slept with three different women wrestler's during that weekend. Now, that we've spilled a little of the tea, let's get to the actual thing that really matters here – the roster of the company. Or at least, the beginnings of the roster of the company, as Hiroyuki has already announced various other talents will be announced in the coming weeks, before the first shows in January of the New Year. In addition, it was noted during the introductions there have been two official classes, but Saeko considers them all as one true class, as they've been working together in some form over the past six months, even if the first-class begin training nearly two years ago. YOUNG LIONESS ROSTER Name: Atsuko Ieseda – 'Class Two' Age: 21 Height: 5' 5” Weight: 147 lbs. Described as a 'wild fighter' by Saeko in her introduction, Ieseda is playing a babyface Patriot gimmick, as evidenced by her Japanese flag gear, and more importantly, by her background as a Miss Japan finalist, and perhaps even more importantly, a mid-tier competitor on an idol competition show a few years back. Ieseda looks will probably sell plenty of posters, but according to reports, she hasn't shown too much skill in the ring, beyond an odd ability to brawl (in an interview transcribed online, she associated with having three older brothers), but she still has the aura of a star, even if she's still hesitant when it comes to cutting a promo. Chikuma Masaoka – 'Class One' Age: 25 Height: 5'4” Weight: 148 lbs. A former gymnast, Masaoka also competed in amateur women's judo, which reportedly has meant she'd adapted well to the mat, already being able to work long involved technical wrestling chains, even if she still can't do them by herself. Her look, which includes a choker, along with her Twitter presence, seems to be leaning into the 'e-girl' aesthetic, even though rumors already are that Chikuma is the 'troublemaker' of the new group of trainees, but how true that remains to be seen. Fumi Fujisaki – 'Class Two' Age: 20 Height: 5' 5” Weight: 148 lbs. Fujisaki's best assets are her looks, which already led her to be a member of an idol group for a short amount of time in 2018 before the management company had to declare bankruptcy as part of the aftermath of the tsunami. This goes along with her ability to work a microphone, which was shown in the opening press conference, where she was one of the few of the trainees to get more than polite responses from the press in attendance. Outside of a knack for brawling (what is it with these former idols and models and the ability to throw a punch?), she's also a work in progress when it comes to in-ring work. Haruko Chiba – 'Class One' Age: 22 Height: 5' 3” Weight: 122 lbs. Coming out of the dojo, Chiba seems to be an odd mix of a goofball who can actually decent chain wrestle and brawl a bit while being able to have fun in comedy matches, and play goofball, underdog, and generally oddball characters well, as seen by her introduction, when she 'accidentally' knocked one of the cameras down, spilled Naizen's drink, and then accidentally sat down on Chikuma's lap. Even though there's some natural talent there, she's still has a lot to learn about actually working the crowd, because the whole bit was more 'cringe' than entertaining according to reports. Kumiko Yamaguchi – 'Class One' Age: 21 Height: 5'4” Weight: 143 lbs. Yamaguchi has a bit of an odd background, as she was a long-time junior golfer who could never make the leap to the Pro Tour, but also appeared in many Japanese television shows as a background or bit player, which means she's probably one of the best in the company at actually acting and being able to sell a promo, but according to reports, an injury in the middle of training connected to her past as a golfer meant she's one of the rawest recruits when it comes to in-ring talent. Maiko Inokuma – 'Class One' Age: 27 Height: 5' 6” Weight: 139 lbs. A former personal trainer, who mentioned she dated a PGHW wrestler during college (but who wouldn't reveal who), Inokuma seems to be a decent all-around athlete, whose biggest plus seems to be her unending stamina, which she says is the result of the dozen triathlons and 20 marathons she's completed over the past decade. An upside of this is that she seems basically unbreakable when it comes to injuries (even though joshi will likely do it's best to prove that wrong), and she does seem to have an inherent badass babyface star quality, that you see in high caliber athletes. Namika Irie – 'Class Two' Age: 25 Height: 5' 3” Weight: 109 lbs. A former Crossfit athlete, Irie was about as well known as you can be in a niche sport such as that, but like Inokuma, one positive of that background is that she's remarkable resilient to injury, and is a bit of an athletic freak when it comes to stamina, along with having a bit of presence to her, even though she's not that well-formed as a wrestler or a promo, as of yet. One bit of rumor is that she wasn't well-liked among other Crossfiters in Japan though, for whatever reason. Nari Tusjimoto – 'Class Two' Age: 27 Height: 5' 4” Weight: 156 lbs. Prior to starting training for Hiroyuki, Nari didn't have any real connection to wrestling at all, outside of being a fan, as she was working in an office, while also moonlighting as a singer in the evenings for a J-Rock band on the weekends, but according to an interview transcribed on Twitter, the new J*STAR dojo was literally two blocks from her office, so she decided to show up and see what would happen. As one of the few wrestlers without any real athletic background, Tsujimoto is a work in progress, and it remains what will happen with her. Nozomi Matoke – 'Class One' Age: 22 Height: 5' 6” Weight: 145 lbs. Of all the wrestlers introduced today, Matoke fits closest into the old school idea of the class Japanese joshi babyface, as she's not too pretty, somewhat athletic, and very friendly and respectful to everybody. She's also, according to reports, merely OK so-far in her progress when it comes to the ring, and because it's 2020 instead of 1980, seems far less marketable in the modern era. However, she like many of the other trainees is stamina and athletic beast, which she has a lot of room to grow when it comes to her in-ring work. Sumie Nitta – 'Class Two' Age: 24 Height: 5' 4” Weight: 143 lbs. With her short hair, and 'plain' clothes compared to some of the other wrestlers, Nitta's tomboy character was played up a bit, but even though it seems to be based in reality, the young rookie still seems a bit uncomfortable in playing it up for a crowd but did her best. In addition, according to reports, she seems to be quickly becoming a skilled in-ring technician and striker, which will buoy her in the ring. All in all, as a crop of rookies, it could be a lot worse. Ieseda and Fujisaki seem most groomed for success early, but that's largely in part due to their backgrounds and inherent qualities, as opposed to in-ring skill. That will remain to be seen, as we don't know any of the veteran workers and other young independent workers whom will hopefully surround J*STAR in 2020.

Yup - look at real life. The early WarGames were bloody brawls, the mid-90's were blood free because of Turner, and now we have the wacky NXT WarGame matches.

Unfortunately, you can't do specific match types, but you can make sure the WWE runs a Royal Rumble, the main event is a 1vs1 (or a 1v1v1v1, etc.), have all title defended, or have it be all-male or all-female matches.

Probably best to release a beta to let people take a look, and see if anything seems too off the wall. One thing - screenshots and other things are always good to include, just to get people a better sense of things.

To be fair, you could do a staredown of 4 minutes and have it still work. If you're going to do a Cena / Rock-style both staring at the WM sign thing, you'd need to do it based on Entertainment or Mic, though.

As somebody playing the CWA on my Twitch streams, your post really helped slam into my head to remember to give ole' Jack & Aaron more mic time.

One thing to remember is in reality, an Iron Man match does drive off some viewers, when the WWE does it. It's just the prestige of the match is worth the loss, and makes the match "better rated" in reality. I think people have to remember, that a negative message might be outweighed by a positive message.

From what I'm understand, you shouldn't get dinged for overness if it isn't too long and angle. So, John Cena winning a main event, then saluting the crowd for 3 minutes = Fine. John Cena standing the ring for 10 minutes = not so great, since Cena to the game now is literally doing nothing. So, for your example, unless it's over five minutes, I think you'll be OK w/ the Monster's just being in the background. If it's a longer angle, you need everybody doing something, unless you don't mind the hits against the angle. I'm not sure what would happen if you did 3 people on entertainment and 1 on over ness for 10 minutes, though.

I have to say, I don't quite see this. Like, SWF & TCW shows both got in the mid-70's for me. So, maybe your other companies are just in a good booking groove, or you got a bad 'roll' ni the background and your SWF & TCW guys are better bookers.

First of all, remember you do have a15% cushion. So, if you need your top guy or winner of a main event o cut a short-ish pomo (2-4 minutes), to challenge somebody or put themselves over (hello Tanahashi) As for the type of booking, here a few staples. 1. Beating the champion in a tag or six man match. Who pins who is still important in pure. 2. Do it the New Japan way - have the challenger come out and do the challenge after the champion has one. 3. Draw! - Two wrestlers go to a 30 minute time limit or something . It helps that puro fans don't get main event matches all the time (your random New Japan show the southern or northern ends of Japan (ie. not Osaka, Tokyo, or Sapparo mainly), the whole show might be six man or tag team matches. So, on a tour, you could have, to use a New Japan wrestlers to explain things - maybe after beating another top guy at a big show, Shingo comes out after the title match, challenges Naito. Or maybe at a previous show, Shingo beats Goto, but at the next show, then has to defeat Ishii at the next show to prove himself worthy as a title contender. 4. Another thing is stables - all fo New Japan is in a stable, even if 's the vague thing of the 'New Japan Army', so you can have all the intrigue in stables done during matches - maybe again, over the next year, in big shows, Sho of Sho & Yoh is the only one to get pitfalls, while the only losses are drops by YOH. So, maybe after a junior tag (or heavyweight tag), where Yoh drops the pinfall again. After the match (because again, you can go lower than 90% or 100%), Sho does the classic 'I was taking all of the load on the team' promo, then it's off to the races. If you think Yoj will never be a top guy, maybe you put Sho over immediately and Yoj falls into midcard hell. On the other hand, maybe both guys look good, so you have them trade wins, leading to a big match. 5. Tournaments, especially round robin. A top/upper midcard guy can pin the champion, giving him a possible challenge. Maybe two guys draw, costing each other to get the chance at the title. 6. The rising of Young Lions. Maybe you send somebody to excursion after jobbing for a year as a Young Lion. Maybe he comes back after wrestling in Mexico or Japan or Europe for year, maybe your rookie gets a different look, and actually begins to compete in 'normal' matches. You can either do that to replace an older guy on the roster in general (David Finlay), or you can do the rocket push, and there ya' go. Hopefully, this all helped.

I think he's saying if you did a filter, and then clicked on roster overview in TEW 2016, only the people from your filter would show up. Unfortunately, I don't think that's possible anymore.

1. Yeah, the 'modern puro' product (I forget it's name) should be adjusted to allow for some non-clean finishes. 2. The angle/match ratio thing is kind of being overblown. The 15% cushion in either direction has always been plenty for me. 3. On sex appeal, I think the idea, or at least my head canon is, (and has been since sex appeal wasn nerfed in 2010), was that if Rock vs. Steve Austin were having a promo battle, even if Stacy Keibler in a string bikini showed up, that wouldn't actually make the angle better. If anything, since it'd be distracting, it'd make it slightly worse.

Now that I downloaded one of the skins, the UI is actually fine to me. There are some weird changes to the placement of things and maybe we could adjust the colors of certain ratings, and make the segment rating bigger, and it's be A-OK to me. I really don't understand how the testers dealt with the default color scheme, though. Anyway, I want to point out a few positive things that I've noticed, that people may not be seeing, simply because of the lack of time, and the bigger issues. One big thing is in the way you can book matches - if you misbook somebody, instead of starting from scratch after adding road agent notes, or if you made something a 2 v 2 and forgot the ladder, you can edit both things and you won't have to re-add all your notes, unless of course, one of the notes doesn't lineup with your changes. Another thing is the opportunity for wrestlers to offer to put over workers. It make things a little more realistic, and more importantly, gives you ideas for storylines or angles that may not have happened before. Merch is also great, with the top workers being shown as far as who is drawing merch money, and the idea you can better the merch portion of your business, just like everything else. To go along with that, ticket prices is also fun, especially if you want to start at the bottom, and essentially have a true backyard fed, or really juice that gate for your big show of the year. On products though, I can actually see both sides. To the positive, I actually think it's good for players to be able to just choose a product and move on. On the other hand, if it was possible, maybe there should be an ability to choose 'Advaned Mode' and choose your own type of product, or something like that, so if you want your Comedy Lucha T&A Pure Sport fed, you can. On the other hand, I think the actual limits and restrictions should be more put in the descriptions. For instance, w/ USPW, their default product means any angles over 5 minutes get a negative boost. As part of their product (aka late 80's/early 90's WWF), that feels fine to me. On the other hand, it doesn't make it clear since a 'short' promo could be 2 minutes or 6 minutes depending on the person, and if part of the product limitations is to create an easier to understand product screen, that information should also be there. In general, I think with a slightly adjusted UI, and some slight backend changes, the issues 80% of people will be fixed. So, I hope Adam and crew can hopefully do that.
