Mine went from 28k to 4.5k and show costs from 4.3k to 1.7k.

Adam's announced changes for the next patch: Changes for next patch: - Sponsorship has been raised a little - Local companies no longer have a minimum roster size - Show costs are much lower for all companies below cult, especially local

End of Year 2: A good year for Arutha Hawke, he is now the figurehead of BWF and has defended his title in classic matches against JOJI and Merle O'Curle (both C-'s). Hugh DeAske is up next at the start of 2018. Rolls so far: 19. “Feet of Fury” You have devoted your holiday season to training in the ring +5 to your Puroresu skill 3. "Trusted Companion" You gain the Loyalty of one of your roster (random roll from the list of your current roster). Bryant Ramirez is now loyal to me. He is Bruiser's regen and he is obviously now getting a push.

Thanks to the new patch I managed to claw back the $75k debt I had and the British Wrestling Federation survived. I now have everything I need to be the figurehead except Merle O'Curle is more over than me. That will be rectified when I take my BWF title back at the next show. I'm looking forward to getting deep into a save at last. If you post an update in this format (or similar) i'll update the front page with your ongoing challenge: Arutha Hawke (British Wrestling Federation - Small) Game date: August 2017 Best UC Match so far: D vs Merle O'Curle (April 2017)

Maybe because, like me, you imagined him facing midgets at every show

The new patch increased my sponsorship from $7k to $28k. Thanks Adam. Time to take advantage and get this $75k debt cleared..

<p>What can affect sponsorship? My momentum and popularity are rising and the industry and economy are also rising however my sponsorship income dropped by 40% in one month. </p><p> </p><p> My product is also the same so it can't be that.</p>

I tried going one event a month with very low cost workers until I started a profit, and then switched to somewhat better workers. It was working, and I was making a profit of between 2-3k a month, but I got closed after about a year and a half with approximately 20k left in debt. I didn't really want to try it the 4 shows a month way, as that seemed less realistic, but it looks like that may have to happen. <p> </p><p> For people that were successful with 4 shows a month, how long were your shows?

I am $55k in debt though, I don't think it's going to turn around for me.</p>

<p>I'm up to June 2016 after booking 20 hour long weekly shows. I'm still losing $8k a month but at least if I go bust this time I'll have 75 matches under my belt. I'm gaining a point per month in each performance stat and i'm only a bit of star quality away from being able to make myself the figurehead.</p><p> </p><p> I'm not too far from Small I think so in an ideal world I can jump ship to a regional promotion before we go bust.</p>

He must be, he needs a terrible gimmick.

Got $18000 in debt and couldn't pull it back. I'm going the route of lots of shows now, weekly shows for the first few months.</p>

Make sure the wrestling industry and economy are in decent shape. I just went bust again, fifth time lucky I guess.

I managed to survive a year finally but things are still on a knife edge. I'm about $10,000 in the hole and only earning just over $1000 on my off months. The economy is getting better though so hopefully i'll be ok.

What year are you up to Lex? What is the best match you have had so far? I'm not going to survive my second game. I chose Jackie Goldstein as owner because he wouldn't change my product but he is on $1300 a month and is not working for free. I'm already $20000 in debt after five months and i'm only making $100 on off months

I'll wait for Derek B to confirm but i'm pretty sure you always have to be the booker.

It says drinks, it could be Pepsi.

Most people just post an end of year update.

There are no size limits You don't have to move, in fact in TEW13 it was so hard to get new jobs that moving happened rarely. You can move to a company one size above what you are currently. The first roll is at the end of year one.

Here is my first user character. I've gone for a high flier in a newly created high flier friendly UK promotion. Since 21CW's product is bad for high fliers i'm hoping there will be plenty available. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k253/Badcollin/Hawke%20Start_zpsswcvimrb.jpg

I've doubled up the gimmick performance rolls which leaves four new slots to take advantage of the new features. I've added one already; Hiring a dirty doctor. I'm looking for suggestions for the final three slots, hopefully we can get this finalised before the game is released tomorrow.

I think it's ok as long as they are signed to PPA's. Adding workers to written contracts would definitely go against the rules.
