If I send a worker on excursion, am I able to bring him back during his excursion through a talent trade with the company he was sent to? Or do I have to wait the full length of the excursion to have them on any of my shows?

The easy fix is to have hype videos on Night 1 for the matches on Night 2, and then do recap videos of the matches from Night 1 on Night 2. That way, everyone booked is (technically) on both shows and shouldn't face a morale hit.

Another thing I have success with is changing how many episodes are taped at a time. I don't like the rigid schedule of Tape 4 shows, then do an event and repeat. So, I'll schedule my major events, and just alter how many episodes are taped at a time when necessary. I might start with 4 weeks of tapings, then switch it to 3 for the next set so that I can have 7 episodes lead to the event, instead of forcing 8 or having an event that takes place between airings of taped shows.

In the company relationships screen, there are absolutely options to open up your company (or ask another company to open up to you) for accepting developmental workers. If what you're looking for is the ability to utilize other promotions to develop your workers, that option already exists in the game.

I think that an option to have a hiring rule like "No Exclusive Contracts for Out-of-Area Workers" would be a good addition. That would mean that anyone who lives outside of Japan wouldn't be able to sign an exclusive contract with a Japanese company... but if they do most of their work there and end up relocating, that would open up the ability to sign them. Think someone like Chase Owens for that one. Brought in as a foreign worker, but now does the bulk of his work for New Japan exclusively. So, he would have been on a handshake deal for the beginning of his term there, but somewhere along the way, he started taking more dates there than in the States (which, in game would mean that he would likely relocate to Japan), and now he's a mainstay with the company.

I would argue that it works absolutely fine. If for instance, Kenny Omega is signed to a written contract with New Japan in your game... and then you create AEW and sign him to an exclusive written contract... what happens is that the value you get in the interim for having the exclusive written deal is that not only will Omega not be able to re-sign with New Japan when his deal with them expires, but he will not sign with any other companies beyond the moment you sign him exclusively.

My popularity is 42 at home. I ran a show in England where my popularity is 12. While my best performers average around 45 to 50 in individual performance at home, when I went to England they performed half as well. Even when doing promos, they performed half as well than they usually do at home. Is there an explanation for this? Jet lag? LOL Just curious.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> You're probably running a style that weighs popularity fairly largely, then. So, you can expect lower ratings when running in places where your workers are not as popular.</p>

I like this idea for specific attributes. Some things develop specifically because of where they work, who they work with or other factors... but some of the attributes being assigned for future use would be nice. Especially stuff like acting and MMA.

My understanding is that the Rookie designation is for first year workers. The Young Lion designation is for younger workers whose Respect stat hasn't hit a certain level yet. So, Rookies without the Young Lion classification are not held to the same strict standards as those with the Young Lion mark.

Usually as a smaller company, I won't even have road agents. I'll just find the wrestlers with the best psychology and respect and get two of them to accept the role of road agent. It's one less person to pay, which is huge when you're a smaller company. So I wouldn't cancel the show if you can talk someone into taking on the role.

No would mean that they don't use one. New means that the mask is recent for the worker... Weak would imply that it's been in use for a bit, but still doesn't have any prestige quite yet... and then you go on from there.</p>

PPV burnout is probably a thing. If you run them too often, you'll start to notice diminishing returns. It will also hurt him that he is broadcasting the PPV events on commercial networks, as people who have a choice will choose to go with the commercial broadcaster.

Using New Japan as an example, I would say that stories are definitely advanced throughout tour shows, but the major notes of the stories would be saved for the larger events.
