As already mentioned, rate Harper on her entertainment skills in the angle. My basic rule of thumb: I rate the worker in the angle on whatever the focus is in the angle. So, if the focus is on Grace Harper's talking, I rate her on entertainment. If the focus is on her just standing there looking good even though she talks a bit, I rate her on sex appeal or overness or I just leave her as the manager of Khoklov. Similarly, if Khoklov were to cut a promo on his own, but it's not about what he says, but about how menacing he is, I'd rate him on menace, even though he's talking throughout the whole segment. In order to not exploit the system too much, I limit an angle like that to one or two minutes because anything longer would make the audience think "What is he talking about?" So, at that point he would then be actually rated=judged by his entertainment skills. Hope that makes sense for you.

You're not involved in regional battles, are you? If you are and finish last you'll lose popularity at the end of the month, which would be the reason you always drop back down to small. Another thing is the regional importance. Have you checked if the regional importance in the game world has dropped in NZ? If it has and you're just barely a regional promotion, your company's importance in NZ may have dropped just enough to bring you back down to small.

So, the sausage fest penalty. Has anyone ever come across this? Running USPW, a national company with mainstream as a key feature, I don't think I I've seen a penalty for not using women on my shows nor have I seen a warning that I don't have enough women booked.

Is there no longer a "cooling down period" if you drop down to cult? I noticed that there's no longer that text on the promotion's size screen.

If my mind serves me right, Cherry Bomb is the head booker of AAA. Head bookers and owners will never sign with another promotion that is at cult or higher.

You could start an alliance and invite all of the companies you compete with in regional battles to that alliance. I'm not sure if you need to set up the alliance a certain way, but you can definitely make it so that the alliance members won't take any damage from each other from regional battles. If doesn't matter if you're small or local sized, as long as you're over F+ popularity in a region, you're eligible for a regional battle. Locking yourself at local wouldn't stop the company from dropping popularity.

In 2013, it used to be six months without coverage in a particular region, before your popularity in that region began to drop. Are you playing with a bigger company now? I think at local and small workers won't demand downsides, while at regional or higher they do. Not sure if this is exactly true, but something along those lines.

No, there isn't. I just like to keep one back-up for each out-of-ring role just in case something happens to the 1st string worker. For example, if my referee dies at the day of the show, I don't have to assign a ref without any skills, but instead have at least a decent backup. Are you typing quick enough? If you wait a second between letters, it'll reset.

How are the wrestling industry and the economy in the USA in your game? If they're too low, your pop gains get penalized, which would lead to your promotion not gaining any popularity even though your shows grade higher.

That's because he's the head booker of SOTBPW. You can't steal owners and head bookers from other companies.

So, I ran the event shown below and the game told me that I lost popularity in one region. I checked in the editor, it was British Columbia, the region the show was held in. I have medium coverage all over Canada for events and the popularity was at 78.0 in all regions before the show. I don't get why I only lost popularity in one region instead of the whole country. Am I missing anything obvious? Does anyone know why this might have happened? http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m27/Johannes_04/NOTBPW.jpg

What you could do to win the national battle with NOTB is to get a working agreement with another big company and trade one of their stars. TCW was the only promotion to accept and I went for the obvious choice and got Rocky Golden, which immediately put me ahead of USPW. Might be a bit cheap and gamey, but it works.

Got it. Makes sense. I feel stupid now.

I definitely need to get more into the Japanese scene in 2016, so this thread may serve me really well. One thing I noticed about PGHW is that they run weekly touring events as well as a weekly tv show. How do you book this weird schedule?

So many new great diaries popping up at the moment. How am I supposed to read them all?

I guess he's unhappy about the fine, but has still realized that he needs to stop getting caught taking steroids or else he may be out of a job (improved behaviour). On another note: Tyson Baine's contract with USPW came up and there are already three other companies engaging in a bidding war for him: SWF, TCW and NOTBPW (really, Victoria?). I like the more aggressive AI.
